1 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 1: Pressing the newsmakers to get the real story. It's Heather 2 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: dupicy Ellen Drive with One New Zealand to coverage like 3 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 1: no one else, News Talks, HEV. 4 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 2: Good Afternoon, coming up on Today's show TV, and Zaid's 5 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,239 Speaker 2: Boss on TV and s Head paying a surprise dividend 6 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,439 Speaker 2: to the government, the port of Toteng's boss on the 7 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 2: fight with the EWE and law Professor Algalespi on why 8 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,599 Speaker 2: a judge has given him the patch back to a 9 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 2: mongrel mob member. 10 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 3: Heather dupicy Ellen, Now, I've got. 11 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,640 Speaker 2: A huge amount of respect for the police and I 12 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 2: very much almost weekly appreciate what it is that they 13 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 2: do for us. But I think we have to call it. 14 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,879 Speaker 2: Tom Phillips is embarrassing them. I mean, the fact that 15 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 2: he is still out there with his kids coming up 16 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 2: four years now is embarrassing for the police because it 17 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 2: looks like they're having rings run around the by Skinny 18 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 2: Eye from Matakoppa. He makes a mockery of them every 19 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 2: single time he pops up to nick milk from a 20 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 2: dairy or shop in full view of the public in Bunnings, 21 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 2: or do a job on a bank. Every time someone 22 00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 2: in the family pleads for him to come home every 23 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 2: time in internet, national media outlet writes another fascinated piece 24 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 2: about him being out there every winter when our own 25 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 2: media remember that the family are still out there and 26 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 2: draw attention to it again. Every time that happens, we 27 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 2: are reminded that our police cannot find a guy and 28 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 2: his kids in the bush around Mutterkopper. Now, I don't 29 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 2: know what's going on here. I have a suspicion, I've 30 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 2: shared it with you before that the police are deliberately 31 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 2: just leaving him to it, because if they wanted to, 32 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 2: they could get him out. And you know that we're 33 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 2: a country of people who understand the bush. He's not 34 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 2: the only guy in New Zealand with bush skills. The 35 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 2: cops have got specialist teams, and if they don't want 36 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 2: to use those teams because they don't want to have 37 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 2: a shootout, well then we've got the defense force. The 38 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 2: defense force can be used here. They've actually been used 39 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 2: in the search beforehand. And you cannot tell me that 40 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 2: our essays can handle the tullybut but can't track down 41 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 2: a guy in the bush and beyond him before he 42 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 2: knows that they're there. You cannot tell me they can't 43 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 2: do that. I suspect the police have made the decision 44 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 2: to not find him, which, by the way, I actually 45 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 2: think may be the right to decision, given how messy 46 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 2: I think the family court business could in fact be 47 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 2: in this case. But they are not trying to find him, 48 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 2: and I just wonder if maybe they should say that 49 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 2: out loud. Maybe they should just be upfront that he 50 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 2: is out there until the day that Tom Phillips decides 51 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 2: to come back, just so that every single passing winter 52 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 2: doesn't make the police look like they're being beaten by Tom. 53 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 3: Phillips together due for c Ellens. 54 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,839 Speaker 2: Ninetier is the text number we're going to talk about 55 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 2: a little bit more. Got some detail on what has 56 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 2: happened over there in pup, wasn't it at the dairy? 57 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 4: Now? 58 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 2: About one in five high school principles have signed that 59 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 2: open letter calling on the government to stop its plans 60 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 2: to scrap NCEEA. Erica Stanford's plan to replace NCEEA is 61 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 2: currently out for consultation, but these principles are warning that 62 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,959 Speaker 2: we might be creating a quote lost generation. They argue 63 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 2: the new standards would disadvantage less academic kids, and Erica 64 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 2: Stanford is manufacturing a crisis, they say, just to justify 65 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 2: the changes. Auckland principal Claire Amos signed the open letter 66 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 2: and is with Hello, Claire Cura, what is your concern? 67 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 5: I think my concern I've I've got a number of concerns. 68 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,959 Speaker 5: I've got concerns about what is being proposed, but I've 69 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 5: also got concerns about the process under which consultation is happening. Firstly, 70 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 5: I think NCAA is not perfect. I don't think anyone 71 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 5: in that letter is pretending that there isn't things we 72 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 5: can improve and. 73 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 2: Titan and work on with NCAA. 74 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,359 Speaker 5: I think we worry about what we lose if we 75 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 5: were to move away from NCAA. We've got twenty years 76 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 5: of graduates who have that as their qualification. We've got 77 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 5: at least three more years of graduates who will continue 78 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 5: to have NCAA as their qualification. I don't want it 79 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 5: to be dismissed as a result of this. I also 80 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 5: believe there's real concerns that where we're going, if we 81 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 5: do do what is proposed, it's going to have a 82 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 5: real impact. It's actually says in the documentation they're expecting 83 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 5: a decline in outcomes for Maori students, specific students, disabled students, 84 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 5: and students who are exper experiencing health issues. And I 85 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 5: think we need to make sure that whatever we do 86 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 5: is actually going to look after all of our young 87 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 5: people within the system. 88 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 2: Now, why do you think it's going to have a 89 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 2: great impact on all of the groups that you just named? 90 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 5: One of the things that points out it actually talks 91 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 5: about this in a recently produced cabinet paper about the proposal. 92 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 5: It recognizes that by narrowing the curriculum and reducing the 93 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 5: flexibility and forcing students to have to do whole subjects 94 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 5: and have to do a combination of internal and external assessments, 95 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 5: that this will potentially reduce the chance of those at 96 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 5: risk students to succeed. We actually know that, but ya, 97 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 5: because NCA currently has a level of flexibility. 98 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 2: And so I'm making it harder to see this. As 99 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 2: we're making it harder, we are lifting the standard and 100 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 2: some of those kids will simply not be able to 101 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,359 Speaker 2: lift up to it. Isn't that the truth? 102 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 5: I think we need to be really careful about how 103 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 5: we define making it harder. I've got no problem with 104 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 5: diverse definitions of success. I do think we need to 105 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 5: lift out those students you cannot, we need I'm an 106 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 5: English teacher. I think we need to be working on 107 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 5: raising literacy and numscy as you. 108 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 2: And yet you and your profession are not. 109 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 5: No, absolutely not. I disagree with Well, how. 110 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 2: Are you guys okay with what is happening at the minute, 111 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 2: which is when we introduce the co requisite? Kids are 112 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 2: failing at these extraordinary rates. Like we are talking and 113 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 2: I can't remember which it is, but in some cases 114 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 2: you've got like thirty percent to sixty percent of kids 115 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 2: in this particular breakdown, this particular thing is subject failing. 116 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 2: How did that happen? How are we okay with that? 117 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 5: I can actually explain a number of reasons why that happened. 118 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 5: We ended up doing a jump in our testing before 119 00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 5: we had actually lift the curriculum and the teaching and 120 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 5: learning program. We need to actually structure and support students 121 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 5: with increase teaching and learning and then they are ready 122 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 5: to be assessed at that level. 123 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 2: But I know also what you're admitting there is that 124 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 2: you and look I'm not I don't please. It's quite confrontational, 125 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 2: but I don't want you to feel as if I 126 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 2: am like laying being horrible to you. But these kids 127 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 2: were not learning the stuff right, so we need to 128 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 2: teach them the stuff. And I frankly don't care about 129 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 2: anything else. If the kids fail, but at least they 130 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 2: can read and write, is that not the more important 131 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 2: thing than passing them? Like we are right now with 132 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 2: the country. 133 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 5: What happens when they fail they leave the system? I 134 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 5: don't know if you recall what the results were like 135 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 5: prior to NCAA, Maori and Pacifica are incredibly overrepresented in 136 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 5: the groups that left at the end of fifth form 137 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 5: with no qualification. What's the point the system? 138 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 2: What's the point in having them in the system if 139 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 2: they come out of year thirteen but they can't read 140 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 2: and write properly. 141 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 5: I think we absolutely need to be looking looking at 142 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 5: the literacy and numeracy. We've got far greater supporting them 143 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 5: if they remain in the system and wrap around them 144 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 5: and support them. I'm not arguing about lowering at the bar. 145 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 5: I'm saying we raise it, but we ensure that we 146 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 5: give time for the teaching and learning and the curriculum 147 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 5: to be embedded first, very having changed. 148 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 2: You're asking for when you talk about time, you are 149 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 2: asking for cohorts of students who do not get the 150 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 2: learning right. That's what time means every year that we 151 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 2: pass by Coe. 152 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 5: But you're in turn, you'd rather have cohorts of students 153 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 5: that actually get closed out of the education system altogether. 154 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 2: Listen, if they get closed out, but they can read 155 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 2: and write, what's more important. 156 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 5: No, but we'll see what happens is they fail at 157 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 5: year eleven and they leave the system without qualifications. I 158 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 5: would much rather have a system that wraps around them 159 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 5: and keeps them in school and supports them. I am 160 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 5: not arguing for a dumbing down. I'm asking for wrap 161 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 5: around and support, and it's focus on the curriculum and 162 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 5: teaching and learning first. When we've embedded that, absolutely we 163 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 5: start shifting how we assess them. But we need to 164 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 5: do the groundwork first. We need to take care of 165 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 5: these young people and keep them in the education system 166 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 5: as long as possible. 167 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 2: Claire, I really appreciate you being so frank with our 168 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 2: Thank you so much, appreciate it. That's Claire Amos Auckland 169 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 2: High School Principal. Yeah. I went through the list and 170 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 2: guess what this is the list of the eighty nine 171 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 2: and by the way. Like I said on the show 172 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 2: last night, eighty nine, it's a minority, but it's a 173 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 2: sizable minority. It's nothing to be completely written off. It 174 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 2: is about twenty one percent of principles. But of course 175 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 2: my school was there. Of course, of course my school 176 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 2: was there. The principal, not my principal. Later ne've met 177 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 2: the man, but he signed it, and of course he 178 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 2: has because what was the decyle of my school? Dear 179 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 2: style too. So yeah, you just connect those dots there 180 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 2: for me, will you. Four sixteen it's. 181 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 1: The Heather to Bussy Alan Drive Full Show podcast on 182 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio powered by News Talk zeb Hither the. 183 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 2: Woman arguing against the NCAA changes wants us to lower 184 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 2: the bar to ensure everyone gets a certificate. We don't 185 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 2: need certificates, we need literate and numerus kids ready for 186 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,079 Speaker 2: the real world. That's certainly my argument that I was 187 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 2: trying to put forward. She says she's not trying to 188 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 2: lower the bar. In her defense. Four nineteen s Board. 189 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: With tab power plays better unlocked. Bigger odds are eighteen. 190 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 2: Bet responsibly Jason pine we can sport hosters with us Piney, Hello, Hello, Heather, Okay, 191 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 2: Warriors v Eels tonight. What's the feeling in you waters. 192 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 6: My waters? 193 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 7: The feeling of my waters is that I think the 194 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 7: Warriors can win the game, and I think they will 195 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 7: win the game, and it's quite important that they win 196 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 7: the game because the top four is still not secure 197 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 7: for them. We know that if they win tonight and 198 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 7: when next week, they'll be in the top four. That's 199 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 7: mathematically certain. If they were to lose tonight, the Broncos 200 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 7: and the Sharks are only two points behind and lying 201 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 7: in wait, both with a better points differential than the Warriors, 202 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 7: which matters if you end up equal on points. So 203 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 7: that's a very long window way of saying that, my 204 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 7: waters are telling me that the Warriors will win take 205 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 7: a big step towards securing a place in that top four. 206 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 2: How good? What time is it? Is it a late 207 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 2: one again? 208 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 7: Eight o'clock, eight o'clock, So that's that's not that's not 209 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 7: too bad. Yeah, you'll be you're still you'll not bury 210 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 7: might not, but you'll be up. 211 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 2: That's infant, mum mum. Hours. You can still, you can 212 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 2: still finish a game. Indeed, all right, so to mighty 213 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 2: Williams has resigned it, I mean we've got to be 214 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 2: pleased with us. 215 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 7: Right, big piece of business yere Tomighty Williams to twenty 216 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 7: twenty nine as well. Only Damien McKenzie has contracted that long, 217 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 7: so it's a significant length of contract to Mighty Williams 218 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 7: is the kind of player who up north in the 219 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 7: Northern Hemisphere they absolutely love a big front rower who 220 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 7: can play on both sides of the scrum, big engine, 221 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 7: good in the loose, carries well, fully committed. He could 222 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 7: earn a lot of money up in the Northern Hemisphere. 223 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 7: So for New Zealand Rugby to have signed him up 224 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 7: for the next four years, through the next World Cup 225 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 7: and midway through the cycle after that is a really 226 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 7: good piece of business to Mighty Williams. I don't know 227 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 7: the guy at all, but from what I can see, 228 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,559 Speaker 7: he just seems like a guy who loves playing for 229 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 7: two teams, the All Blacks and the Crusaders. He's going 230 00:10:58,679 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 7: to get the chance to do that for the next 231 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 7: four yees and I think it's a It's a great 232 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 7: contract for him and for New Zealand rug. 233 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 2: Listen, have you seen this and this has been a 234 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 2: debate that's been going on, and you know in our 235 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 2: team about whether actually we're going too soft on Razor 236 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:12,439 Speaker 2: for his record. 237 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't think he'd want to lose too many 238 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:20,199 Speaker 7: more games, if you you know, If I'm honest, I think, Look, 239 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 7: there's a lot of overreaction and knee jerk reaction whenever 240 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 7: the All Blacks lose. You only have to host a 241 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 7: radio show the following day to work that out. But look, 242 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 7: I think he needs to come under scrutiny, and that's 243 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 7: that's that comes with a job. We're right to expect 244 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 7: excellence from the All Blacks and we're right to question 245 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 7: them when things don't go well. It sometimes can get 246 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 7: a bit personal. I mean, some of the texts that 247 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 7: you get, I'm sure you know, are some ofar the 248 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 7: ones I get after the All Blacks lose. There's it 249 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 7: gets very personal very quickly. Look, it's a big couple 250 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 7: of weeks coming up, either for the All Blacks, for 251 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 7: Scott Robertson, for a number of players in that team. 252 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 7: You know, I think next Saturday Night is going to 253 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 7: be it could almost be not career defining necessarily, but 254 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 7: certainly could be a very very big swing one while 255 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,559 Speaker 7: the other, depending on which way it comes out. 256 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 2: Your good stuff. Hey piney as always appreciated. 257 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 8: Mate. 258 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 2: Enjoy the weekend, Jason Pine. We can sport host, Heather. 259 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 2: I missed school certificate twice. Now I've got a business, 260 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 2: have had it for thirty five years. I employ twelve staff. 261 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 2: School doesn't suit everyone. But I can read and write. 262 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 2: Oh well, don't you that in New Zealand is an 263 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 2: accomplishment nowadays, though, isn't it? I can read and write. 264 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 2: I should have got out of the system earlier. Maybe 265 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 2: I would have had twenty stuff. What I noticed you 266 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 2: didn't say, though, is you could do maths. Because that 267 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 2: none of us really still cana for twenty two. 268 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 1: Digging deeper into the day's headlines, it's Heather du for 269 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 1: Cell and Drive with one New Zealand coverage like no 270 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:46,559 Speaker 1: one else. 271 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:47,319 Speaker 3: Youth talks. 272 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,439 Speaker 2: They'd be Heather Raisers, getting the old justinder treatment from 273 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 2: the media. No scrutiny. Well let me tell you that's 274 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 2: what the German's husband thinks. We've been having this debate. 275 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 2: So yeah, some people feel like, well, because Laura, what 276 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 2: was it? How long did it take? How long did 277 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 2: it take Fozzy to lose five games? Twenty five weeks months, 278 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 2: twenty five games to lose five games, whereas Rais has 279 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 2: done it much faster than that. Yeah, but I think, 280 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 2: look I do, I'm not never mine. We'll deal with 281 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 2: this in the sports huddle I've got. I think it's fine. 282 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 2: I think it's fine to let Razor take his time. 283 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 2: We'll deal with it later. But I have to deal 284 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 2: with this for you. This is going to go down 285 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 2: like a cup of cold six for you. It's full 286 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,079 Speaker 2: twenty five. A district court judge has basically given a 287 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 2: Mongrel Mob members patch back to him. So what happened? 288 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 2: He's gone to court and then the cops have taken it. 289 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,079 Speaker 2: So what's happened is December twenty nine last year Chap 290 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 2: called Andy Leaf as a patch member of the Mongrel 291 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 2: Mob in the King Country chapter. It's gone for a 292 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 2: walk in to Madnui down hockey Aha Street, which is 293 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 2: the main street. He's wearing his black and red leather vest, 294 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 2: has got a white hoodie on and a black cap 295 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 2: and it's all got the Mongrel Mob gang insignia on it. Anyway, 296 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 2: the cops saw him and arrested him and took his 297 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 2: gang patch away. He was charged as well with knowingly 298 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 2: and without reasonable excuse displaying the gang insignia in public. 299 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 2: It's a breach of the act. 300 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:05,319 Speaker 6: Right. 301 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,559 Speaker 2: So he's charged and they take the stuff away from him, 302 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,319 Speaker 2: not the first time, because he'd been down at the 303 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 2: ATM a few days earlier, and also the BP and 304 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 2: that he'd been spotted in the gear too. Anyway, he 305 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 2: goes to court. He pleads guilty to the charge, but 306 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 2: then he asks the courter can please have his vest back? 307 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 2: He's represented himself in court. He says, he's got no family. 308 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 2: He's been in the gang for twenty five years. The 309 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 2: gang is basically like his family, and the patch is 310 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 2: to him like his family crest, and it means a 311 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 2: lot to him, and he loves it so much he 312 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 2: will never let it he leave his house again. So 313 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 2: Judge Lance Rowe has a think about it for a 314 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 2: couple of months and then comes out and goes, yeah, 315 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 2: you can have your patch back, but basically ordered the 316 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 2: cops to get the patch back because of Tea Kunger. 317 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 2: He says these commentsal submissions. At first Blush would be 318 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 2: recognizable in Teacunger terms as consistent with expressions of Mana 319 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 2: and for knowing a tongue. Mana you know what that 320 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 2: is for knowing a tongue is basically kingship right being 321 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 2: part of a family. So the cops are going to 322 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 2: appeal this. I think possibly they're thinking about I feel 323 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 2: like they should appeal this. What do you think? Anyway, 324 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 2: We're going to talk about this later on. It would 325 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 2: it would appear that government had been warned that this 326 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 2: was possible unless they tightened some things up or did 327 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 2: some remedial things to patches, as in like burned them 328 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 2: so they couldn't be returned. An Al Gillespie's going to 329 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 2: be with us on this after five News is next to. 330 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 3: The day's newspakers talked to Heather First. 331 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: Heather due for Cell and Drive with One New Zealand 332 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: and the Power of satellite mobile news talk said, be 333 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 1: worried that your. 334 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 2: The cops must have well, actually this this text to 335 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 2: be fair is the police must appeal the judge's decision 336 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 2: to give the gang members patch back. Should they could 337 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 2: the judge be reminded of what of the legislation requires 338 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 2: and what the majority of the public expect. That's from Simon, 339 00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 2: former police officer. Yeah, I suspect they made but anyway, 340 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 2: listen it seems that what happened was that the police 341 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 2: will at least the government was warned that if they 342 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 2: didn't destroy the patch, that this was always a possibility 343 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 2: that the patch would be handed back, because you know, 344 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 2: you're all these funny things happening in law, like the 345 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 2: inclusion of teakung and common law and stuff like that. Anyway, 346 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 2: as a result of that, we'll talk to Al Gillespie 347 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 2: about it. As I said earlier, now, I don't know 348 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 2: if you remember this, but a couple of days ago 349 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 2: we're talking about TV and Z, and I said to 350 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 2: you that I think the days of TV and Z 351 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 2: paying a dividend are over. Well, I have to eat 352 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 2: my words, because what did we get today from TV 353 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 2: and Z a dividend of three million dollars paid to 354 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 2: the government. This is because they've turned a surprise profit 355 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 2: of twenty five million dollars. Huge surprise, because last year 356 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 2: was an enormous loss of about eighty five million dollars. 357 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 2: What this now basically begs is the question. It does 358 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 2: beg the question, doesn't it When they went cutting, Remember 359 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 2: they cut Sunday and they cut fair Go, and they 360 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 2: cut various other things in order to be able to 361 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 2: get the books back in order. Did they cut too 362 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 2: deep because they went from a huge loss to a 363 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 2: profit paying a dividend within this just like that, So 364 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,439 Speaker 2: might they actually have been able to save one of 365 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 2: those shows. We're going to speak to the boss of TVNZ, Jody. 366 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 2: He'll be with us after five o'clock. It's twenty three 367 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 2: away from five. 368 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: It's the world wires on news Talks Edy Drive. 369 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 2: Victorian Police Commissioner Mike Bush has given an update on 370 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 2: the manhunt for the alleged cop killer Desi Freeman. 371 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:23,360 Speaker 8: We are not. 372 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 9: Leaving here until this person is in custody. 373 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 6: In fact, if that person. 374 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 10: Is listening, it really is time to lay down your 375 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,479 Speaker 10: firearms and give yourself up. 376 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 2: Russia has made a major air attack on Ukraine. Twenty 377 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 2: one people in Kiev have been killed. A former Ukrainian 378 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 2: foreign minister was also caught up in it. 379 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 11: This time it was really really close, too close to actions, 380 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 11: and I've seen the two mistles just dashes through the 381 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,199 Speaker 11: through the sky and hitting something very close to my 382 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 11: own blade. 383 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 2: And finally, a Canadian man has proven that he is 384 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,040 Speaker 2: probably the world's best husband in the history of the 385 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,639 Speaker 2: entire world. His name is Steve. Steve and his wife 386 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 2: had just got home from dinner at a restaurant when 387 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,959 Speaker 2: they realized that his wife had lost her wedding ring somewhere. 388 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 2: So Steve checked the restaurant, then he checked the dash cam, 389 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 2: went home, checked the CCTV, and he managed to work 390 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 2: out that his wife's ring must have slipped off when 391 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 2: she threw a bag of popcorn into the food scraps bin. 392 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,360 Speaker 2: The bin had already been emptied, so Steve had to 393 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 2: go to the dump, where he was told his food 394 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 2: scraps was somewhere in amongst sixteen tons of compost. And 395 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 2: with nothing but gloves, a shovel, and a lot of 396 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 2: time and effort, Steve found the popcorn bag and the 397 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,479 Speaker 2: ring is now back on his wife's finger. Let's hear 398 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 2: it for. 399 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 1: Steve International correspondence with ends and eye Insurance, Peace of 400 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business. 401 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 2: What do you reckon would happen if we got Steve 402 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 2: to search for Tom Phillips and his family outside of 403 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 2: Marco Bay, Just saying twenty two away from five Charles 404 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 2: Feldman US correspondence with us. Now, hey, Charles, here you 405 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 2: have it. So the investigators are now saying that the 406 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 2: shooter was obsessed with the idea of killing kids. 407 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 12: Yeah, they found a bunch of writings and things on 408 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 12: social media, and apparently the shooter hated a lot of people. 409 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 12: The officials are saying that he hated Catholics, he hated Jews, 410 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 12: he wanted to come up with a plan to kill 411 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 12: President Trump, and yes, in particular, he apparently was interested 412 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 12: in killing young children, which sadly is exactly what he 413 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 12: ended up doing. 414 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 2: What was motivating him to high school these. 415 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 12: Groups, Well, that's the big mystery, isn't it. And they 416 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 12: either don't know or they're not yet saying they are 417 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 12: still pouring through this voluminous amount of social media. Apparently 418 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 12: the shooter was very keen on leaving a trail behind, 419 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 12: including what the intentions were. There was also a letter 420 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 12: that was apparently written, but the officials are not releasing 421 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 12: as yet anyway the contents. So we don't really know, 422 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 12: but somebody probably does. 423 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, and is there a suggestion that because the shooter 424 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 2: went to the school, didn't he so is there a 425 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:08,879 Speaker 2: suggestion that he had a beef with the school? 426 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 12: Well, that's a possibility, right. First of all, the shooter's 427 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 12: mother worked at the school until. 428 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 6: A few years ago. 429 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 12: The shooter him or herself, and by the way, we 430 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 12: should get into that very quickly. There's been this dispute. 431 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 12: Some officials here in the States continue to refer to 432 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:32,400 Speaker 12: the shooter as he, although a few years ago apparently 433 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 12: the child at the time and mother went to a 434 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 12: judge had the name changed from Robert to Robin, and 435 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 12: there is a notation in the files that the person 436 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 12: wanted to be identified as female. Yet officials here in 437 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,919 Speaker 12: the States continue to refer to her as him, So 438 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 12: it becomes a little bit confusing. But this whole transgender 439 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 12: issue has become an issue with apparently some hate reference 440 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 12: is in the Minnesota area and officials they're telling people 441 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 12: that they shouldn't cast dispersions on entire communities because of 442 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 12: the actions of one individual. 443 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, fair enough. Now listen, what's where are we 444 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,359 Speaker 2: at with the latest with the troops going into Chicago. 445 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 12: Well, you know, there apparently has been some outreach from 446 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 12: the White House to a military base that's on the 447 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 12: outskirts of Chicago on whether or not it's available to 448 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 12: be used at some point in the not too distant 449 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 12: future to aid in a bed as they put it, 450 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 12: immigration officials. Well, of course, you know, as you know, 451 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 12: whether this follows on the heels of President Trump sending 452 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 12: the National Guards first to the city of Los Angeles 453 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 12: not too long ago, and then more recently to Washington, 454 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:54,400 Speaker 12: d C. Where they are still mobilized and patrolling the streets. 455 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 12: So you know, Trump has made no secret of the 456 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 12: fact that he wants to have better control. He's says 457 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 12: of crime, although crime has gone down in Chicago, as 458 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 12: it has in Washington and Los Angeles, but he says 459 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 12: he wants to have control overall in a better way. 460 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 12: So it's not clear when this is going to happen, 461 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 12: except that apparently is on his list, along with some 462 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 12: other cities that happen to be run by Democrats. 463 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,120 Speaker 2: Infascinating stuff. Very quickly, does Lisa Cook do you think 464 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 2: have a case? 465 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 12: Well, she legally has a case because as a member 466 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 12: of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, she 467 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 12: doesn't technically serve at the pleasure of the President of 468 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 12: the United States. But there are some parently, you know, 469 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,400 Speaker 12: as is always the case, there are some ifs ands, 470 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 12: there were butts to the you know, the legality of 471 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 12: whether the president can fire a board member. The president 472 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 12: can with cause. The question now is whether or not 473 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,640 Speaker 12: there really is any cause. Trump is claiming that there's 474 00:22:55,640 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 12: some kind of mortgage fraud, which denies there is going 475 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 12: to be a court hearing, by the way, a Friday, 476 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 12: US time to determine whether or not mister Trump has 477 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 12: the we. 478 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 6: Got right to fire her. 479 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 2: Brilliant Charles, Listen, thanks for filling us and I appreciated. 480 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 2: Charles Feldman, US correspondent eighteen away. 481 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 3: From five heatherd for Cela. 482 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 2: Okay, so let's get you across what the police have 483 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,199 Speaker 2: said about the Marter KRPA dad, Tom Phillips, and his 484 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 2: missing kids. So Tom and one of the kids were 485 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 2: caught on video. You'll have seen it by now. They 486 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,640 Speaker 2: were breaking into a dairy and pup you on Wednesday night, 487 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 2: two in the morning. They stole apparently, according to the 488 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,919 Speaker 2: dairy owner, only milk. Now, the cops don't know the 489 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 2: significance of this breaking. 490 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 13: And we're looking at doesn't mean he's potentially head of 491 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 13: falling out with who's helping him. 492 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 2: But what they are kind of drawing our attention to 493 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 2: is the fact that Tom Phillips looks pretty relaxed just 494 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 2: going about sneaking around at night. 495 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 13: Well, he certainly appears very comfortable to just come with 496 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 13: that way to pup you and commit a burglary. He 497 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 13: was there, they probably thirteen fourteen minutes, did a bit 498 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 13: of a reconnaissance around the area before the committing the burglary. 499 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 2: Now, apropos what I said at the very start of 500 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 2: the show, which is that I do not believe that 501 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 2: the police are actually trying to find him. They have 502 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 2: basically confirmed that they are not actively searching for the family. 503 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 13: Every time we get new information or something like this happens, 504 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 13: we re evaluate and go, well what does this mean 505 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 13: for the investigation. But in terms of searching specific areas, 506 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 13: we do have concerns around the risk TOM posers, so 507 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 13: we're very careful in terms of searching. So we're still 508 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 13: just seeking the public's help with information to come in. 509 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 2: And they're very happy to let time take it, just 510 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 2: take its time. Basically, they're just happy to wait. 511 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 13: Everyone would like this to be over yesterday. But I 512 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 13: go back to the focus is getting the children out safely. 513 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 13: We're not going to put anyone in harm's way just 514 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:58,199 Speaker 13: to try and end something quickly. 515 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 2: And as to whether they're worried that he pos is 516 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:01,160 Speaker 2: a risk to his kids. 517 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 6: That's a concern about certainly. 518 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, so we'll have a chat to Algillespie about that. 519 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 2: As I said, in about half an hour's time, it's 520 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 2: quarter to right now. 521 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: Politics with centrics credit, check your customers and get payments. 522 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 2: Certainty Barry So, Senior Political Correspondence with US.

Prime ministers have 530 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 14: done this before. I mean, John Keene's a bit of 531 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 14: an entertainer. Here'll do this, and of course Stephen Colbert 532 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 14: with Justin durn I mean programs on New Zealand. 533 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 6: That's a good thing. 534 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:52,160 Speaker 14: And who who knows Taylor and Travis may come. 535 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,880 Speaker 6: To you never know whither. 536 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 2: I'm not going to come. It's just good for the publicity. 537 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 2: Stop being all right, okay, delude had gone? Then what happened? 538 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 2: So what happened? What well, but what happened is that 539 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,479 Speaker 2: what he said, I will I will explain what's happened here. 540 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 2: The latest is that Luxon has said one of his 541 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 2: best friends in America is actually in business with Travis, 542 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,360 Speaker 2: as in Travis Kelsey. But we're on a first name 543 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 2: basis now. And he actually got a reply back from Travis, 544 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,880 Speaker 2: and he loved the offer, and he asked jokingly whether 545 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 2: he could get a passport. 546 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,160 Speaker 6: Yeah, and that was a joke, of course. 547 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 2: And we will, of course give him a passport. 548 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, well, of course not anyway. 549 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 2: Anyway, So Tom Phillips. 550 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,120 Speaker 6: Trivial, absolutely trivial. 551 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:29,160 Speaker 2: Tom Phillips. 552 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 14: Oh, Tom Phillips. Well, it's an interesting one, this isn't it. 553 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 14: I was reading what a military lawyer, Matthew Haig, who 554 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 14: served with the NZDF and the police. He is quoted 555 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 14: as saying the Prime Minister or other senior ministers, they 556 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,639 Speaker 14: certainly have the authority they wanted to send the military in. 557 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 14: And the essas did have experience in bushcraft as good, 558 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,479 Speaker 14: I would imagine, not much better than Tom Phillips, and 559 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 14: they could probably flesh him out in very little time. 560 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 14: But the biggest concern is that Tom Phillips is seen 561 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:11,880 Speaker 14: to be armed and worried about the children. What may 562 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 14: happen if an ambush is launched against this man and 563 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 14: the bush, what will happen to those kids? And that's 564 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 14: what they're. 565 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 6: More worried about it. 566 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 14: But it does seem rather a strange to stand up, 567 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,719 Speaker 14: I've got to say, because this guy is going around 568 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 14: and you know, robbing dairies and whatever. But I'll tell 569 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 14: you what the Prime Minister he wasn't about to be 570 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,199 Speaker 14: drawn into the issue when he was asked about it 571 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 14: in christ Church today. 572 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,199 Speaker 15: Those are issues for police to work through and I'll 573 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,160 Speaker 15: leave them for them. It's an operational issue for them, 574 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 15: and you know that's up for them. I'm not as 575 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 15: Prime Minister of New Zealand. It's important that the police 576 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 15: are responsible for operationally, for making engagements in that way 577 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:49,640 Speaker 15: and will let him wear their way through. 578 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 14: And that's always the answer, is that from the politicians. 579 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 14: But look you mentioned earlier Andrew Costa when he was 580 00:27:55,359 --> 00:28:01,400 Speaker 14: the Commissioner, he said that the military had been involved 581 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 14: at some stage last year. So they've been out there, 582 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 14: but I still haven't tracked this man down. 583 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 2: What some defital day mean to Chris Luxen. 584 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 6: Well, it's interesting, isn't it. 585 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 14: He was down in christ Church at the Cancer Society 586 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,199 Speaker 14: and the deffidial day is to raise awareness full cancer 587 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 14: and to that end, he was at the Cancer Society 588 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 14: and explained his link to the disease. 589 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 15: My father actually volunteers here as a driver and crash 590 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 15: each here. And I have an auntie right now that's 591 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 15: going through her own battle, So my thoughts are very 592 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 15: much with her to down I'm hoping to catch up 593 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 15: with her privately later on the day as well. But look, 594 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 15: I mean, yeah, one in three New Zealanders impacted by cancer. 595 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 15: And so as a government, you know, in the eighteen 596 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 15: months we've been in power, you know we've put a 597 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 15: big investment obviously into cancer drugs to try and close 598 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 15: the cancer gap with Australia. Secondly, we've done we've got 599 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 15: the self tests out for cervical cancer. We've expanded breast 600 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 15: cancer screening from seventy to seventy four, we've lowered beow 601 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 15: cancer from sixty to fifty eight. There's obviously more work 602 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 15: to do there. It's about ex colin oscarpies. 603 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 14: Yeah, there will be few New Zealanders I would imagine, 604 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 14: including myself that haven't had cancer in the family somewhere, 605 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 14: So it's a major issue in New Zealand, and it's good. 606 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 2: Did you buy any deafidils? 607 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 6: You did hear that? 608 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 2: Yeah?

Mate, 611 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 2: sit at the girl we've all had cancer in the family, 612 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 2: but doesn't want to sholl out for a daffodil. 613 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 14: I would if I was near a flower shop. 614 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 2: Did you find yourself a daffidil on the way home? 615 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 15: Then? 616 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 2: Hate?

I mean, couldn't have they 623 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 14: had just said we're not going to do it. 624 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 2: I mean that's a fair They are. 625 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,719 Speaker 14: The lawyer and they pay out of taxpayers the taxpayers person. 626 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 14: But you know, if you look through the way this 627 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 14: thing is the person is used by former ministers and 628 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 14: what have you leave expenses for Crown and External Counsel 629 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 14: to provide support to that inquiry so far amounts to 630 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 14: three hundred and fifty nine thousand dollars.

It's cheaper than any 666 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 2: other option. I've no doubt he would never hurt his children. 667 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 2: He's protecting them. Do you know what, don I totally 668 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 2: agree with Don. I would offer him the total amnesty 669 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 2: and then just let them come out, you know, so 670 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 2: that the whole thing is over. But and also this, 671 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 2: but this is the trouble is obviously he wants to 672 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 2: retain custody of the kids, doesn't want to give custody 673 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 2: to the X. I don't even know if the X 674 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 2: would ever get custody. Who knows. But you think you 675 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 2: don't want to be sending the kids into two state care. 676 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 2: But can you really leave the kids with somebody who's 677 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 2: done a bank robbery with them? So it feels I 678 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 2: don't know, it feels very very complicated, doesn't it. By 679 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 2: the way, I don't know if you realize it. But 680 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 2: you know, I was talking about Mike Bush before in 681 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 2: the World Wires. He's the chap over in Victoria who's 682 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 2: sorting out you know, old mate, a very similar case, 683 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 2: Dessy Dezzi Freeman, who's gone Bush in Victoria. That's our 684 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 2: Mike Bush. That's Mike Bush, our police commissioner, Mike Bush. 685 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 2: He's as handsome as ever, But what do you remember 686 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 2: when he stopped being our police commissioner. He started going 687 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 2: very private detective and is looked and he got those 688 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 2: dark glasses and he slicked his groy's hair out, slicked 689 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 2: it back, wore a sharp suit. He's now he's gone. 690 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 2: He's ditched the private detective look and he's gone straight 691 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 2: back to the old, you know, straight up and down 692 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 2: l a cop look, and it was working. Here's got 693 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 2: side cut, his hair short, side part, clean shaven, glasses 694 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 2: are gone, contact lenses back in and he looks like 695 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 2: he could run any police force in the whole wide world. 696 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 2: Our Mike Bush proud of him, aren't we? Anyway? Jody 697 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 2: O'Donnell TVNZ's boss with us next on paying that surprise dividend. 698 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 2: News TOOKSTV. 699 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 1: The only drive show you can try to ask the questions, 700 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 1: get the answers, find and give the analysis. Here the 701 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: duplicyl and drive with one New Zealand and the power 702 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 1: of satellite mobile news dogs let. 703 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 2: B Afternoon TV and Z has announced a surprise dividend 704 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 2: to be paid to the government of three million dollars. 705 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 2: The broadcaster has delivered a twenty five million dollar after 706 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 2: tax profit, which is a huge turnaround after last years 707 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 2: eighty five million dollar loss. Jody O'Donnell is the CEO 708 00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 2: of TV and said, hey, Jody, hi, he how are 709 00:33:58,320 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 2: you m well? 710 00:33:58,960 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 14: Thank you? 711 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 2: How wrong was I so? Just a couple of days 712 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:02,720 Speaker 2: ago I was saying, that's the end of the dividends 713 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 2: from TV and Z and here you go, how'd. 714 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 3: You do it? 715 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,759 Speaker 17: Well, Look, I think that it's like many businesses last year, 716 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,440 Speaker 17: we all had to make really hard decisions. But wasn't 717 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 17: just around us actually resetting our cost base. We actually 718 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 17: really ruthlessly focused around revenue initiatives as well, so we 719 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 17: were able to do it at the same time, and 720 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 17: our revenue was stronger than we had predicted. 721 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 2: Do you think it's the last one though? For the 722 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 2: last dividends? Yeah, for a while. 723 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 17: Look, it's our obligation to pay a dividend. We've actually 724 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 17: paid eight dividends over the last ten years, so it's 725 00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 17: a process that we go through every year and time. 726 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 2: If you're going to have a couple of losses at least, right, 727 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 2: you're not going to be paying a dividend, are you. 728 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:41,799 Speaker 17: Well, Again, it's a process that would have to go 729 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 17: through every year. So I'm not going to say upfront 730 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 17: whether it's in or it's out, would you pay one 731 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,719 Speaker 17: in a loss? Again, it would have to be a 732 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 17: conversation that we have with our board at the time. 733 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 2: Okay, so it's a possibility given that you did turn 734 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 2: around a profit here? Did you cut too hard? When 735 00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 2: you cut? 736 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,800 Speaker 17: I knew you'd ask me that question. Look like I said, 737 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:03,279 Speaker 17: we had to make the decisions that we had in 738 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 17: front of us at the time. And so what was 739 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 17: really important is that we set the cost base of 740 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 17: the business into a stable position that we could see 741 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 17: at least for the next three or four years. And 742 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 17: that was really important for us as we started our 743 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,240 Speaker 17: investment program. So over the next two years, in particular, 744 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,280 Speaker 17: we're self funding an investment program, and that's really important 745 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,759 Speaker 17: for us to ensure that we can transform TV and said, 746 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 17: the first thing that all of our viewers will see 747 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,879 Speaker 17: will be a brand new tv Z plus platform next 748 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 17: year that obviously allows us to have enhanced user experiences, 749 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,839 Speaker 17: but also allows us to unlock the pay capability, which 750 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 17: you would have hurt. Us announced earlier this week with 751 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 17: in conjunction with a fee for World Cup rights. When 752 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 17: is the FIFA World Cup again? 753 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 2: It's middle of June next year. Okay, So does that 754 00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 2: is that the start of you guys charging us for things? 755 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,400 Speaker 2: I mean, it's obviously the first case of it, But 756 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,680 Speaker 2: how soon after that does that become the regular thing? 757 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,399 Speaker 17: Well, look, it's the first thing that we've identified that's 758 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 17: really important, and we know we'll be big for audiences. 759 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 17: So as a free do we broadcaster, there's always rights 760 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,160 Speaker 17: that have been outside of our reach. So for us 761 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 17: to unlock that pay capability, we want to test and 762 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 17: learn how do the super fans want to watch all 763 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 17: one hundred and four matches and then how do we 764 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,360 Speaker 17: balance that as well with the free to wear audience exposure. 765 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 17: So we've said the all whites will all be free 766 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 17: on TVNZ one, so it'll be a huge learning opportunity 767 00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:16,600 Speaker 17: for us. 768 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,080 Speaker 2: Do you think are you guys looking at just charging 769 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,719 Speaker 2: punters for the big events or do you think you're 770 00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:23,719 Speaker 2: going to charge us for the regular stuff that we 771 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,399 Speaker 2: like to watch, like Bluey. 772 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:30,120 Speaker 17: Fifty million streams of Bluey in the Last World? How 773 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:31,400 Speaker 17: many of them were your household? 774 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 2: I keep telling you put Bluey behind the pay will 775 00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:34,319 Speaker 2: you make a mint? 776 00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,440 Speaker 17: Look, we are thinking about it in event space at 777 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 17: the moment. So what we want to be able to 778 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,040 Speaker 17: do is you know, TVNZ is free at its core 779 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,239 Speaker 17: and that will continue. We're an ad funded business and 780 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 17: we will be free. But certainly once we test this 781 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,719 Speaker 17: event pass with feetha World Cup. Well look for other 782 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:53,440 Speaker 17: opportunities as well. It's really around what the audience audiences want. 783 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 17: But also with that pay capability, it means we can 784 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,280 Speaker 17: compete for rights that we haven't been able. 785 00:36:58,080 --> 00:36:59,359 Speaker 2: To do in that house. I'll spoke to you about 786 00:36:59,360 --> 00:36:59,840 Speaker 2: the netball. 787 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,320 Speaker 17: Yeah, really happy, just really happy to make it accessible 788 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 17: for all New Zealanders. 789 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 2: And I think I mean, are you actually paying anything 790 00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 2: or are you just the lucky recipient of the netball. 791 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,719 Speaker 17: That's obviously commercial sensitivity, so I won't be able to 792 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,320 Speaker 17: answer that, but certainly we've had the netball for the 793 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 17: last two years. We've had a three game a week, 794 00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,279 Speaker 17: and so we can see the audience growth there and 795 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 17: how much the audiences love it, and it's really important 796 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:24,440 Speaker 17: for us that we can obviously showcase that. 797 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:26,600 Speaker 2: Well, it's got to be a point at which, as 798 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 2: you get more we're coming to watch the fever, then 799 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:30,560 Speaker 2: we're coming to watch the netball, then we're coming to 800 00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:32,759 Speaker 2: watch the MPC, and we're watching all the stuff. At 801 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,440 Speaker 2: some point you will have a critical mass where you 802 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,960 Speaker 2: can start checking a lot more stuff behind the payball, right, 803 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:38,440 Speaker 2: because we'll get used to the platform. 804 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:40,960 Speaker 17: Yeah, again, we are at our heart free to weare 805 00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 17: and so that's a really important part of our DNA. 806 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,360 Speaker 17: But with this capability, it means that we can compete. 807 00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 17: You need to make money, Jo, We don't need to 808 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,240 Speaker 17: make money, No, absolutely we do and we will always 809 00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 17: make the decisions based on that basis. 810 00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:55,359 Speaker 2: Speaking of which, how much is are in Z paying 811 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:56,240 Speaker 2: you to be in the building. 812 00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:02,040 Speaker 17: Again, that's a commercial negotiation, but we're looking forward to 813 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:02,960 Speaker 17: them when they do move on. 814 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:07,040 Speaker 2: Thank you, Jody, It's worth try, Jody o'donald TV and z' CEO. 815 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,759 Speaker 3: Twelve past five, Heather Duplessy LA. 816 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:11,600 Speaker 2: In the case of the missing matter corper Man Tom 817 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,200 Speaker 2: Phillips and his kids, police have basically confirmed that they 818 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:15,799 Speaker 2: are not actively searching for them. 819 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 13: Everyone would like this to be over yesterday, but I 820 00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:24,200 Speaker 13: go back to the focus is getting the children out safely. 821 00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:28,920 Speaker 13: We're not going to put anyone in harm's way just 822 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:30,240 Speaker 13: to try and end something quickly. 823 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,840 Speaker 2: Police have held a press conference today after news that 824 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,040 Speaker 2: Tom and possibly one of his kids broke into a 825 00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,840 Speaker 2: PUPW dairy on Wednesday to Steel Milk. Military lawyer Matthew 826 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:40,600 Speaker 2: hagu Is served in both the Defense Force and the 827 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 2: police and is with us. Hello, Matthew, what are you 828 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,600 Speaker 2: reckons going on here? Have the police basically backed off? 829 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,319 Speaker 18: I think they have, and I think that's wise. I 830 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 18: think the police need to balance bringing this matter to 831 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:58,120 Speaker 18: a conclusion with the risk that mister Phillips or perhaps 832 00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 18: even worse, one of the kids could be involved with weapons. 833 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:04,400 Speaker 18: And there's risk to everyone. Please, the chickids and mister Phillips. 834 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 2: So what are we doing? Are we just basically waiting 835 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:10,560 Speaker 2: for them to eventually one day come out of the bush? 836 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,719 Speaker 18: I think that would be the best outcome. It would 837 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 18: hopefully happen sooner rather than ny SA. But I've got 838 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,840 Speaker 18: no doubt that police will be not just monitoring the 839 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:24,680 Speaker 18: situation passively. They'll be very actively thinking, perhaps observing, taking 840 00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:28,000 Speaker 18: steps to locate mister Phillip and the kids. They'll be 841 00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,279 Speaker 18: working with a community, they will have a range of 842 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,360 Speaker 18: different resources available to them. What they're trying to avoid 843 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,440 Speaker 18: is a direct confrontation in a way that could result 844 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:37,520 Speaker 18: in the ready that outcome. 845 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,279 Speaker 2: Possible, though, Matthew, that this could go on for years. 846 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,400 Speaker 2: I mean, I can't remember how young the youngest one is, 847 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,960 Speaker 2: but it'll be years before that child is not subject 848 00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,720 Speaker 2: to any family court orders if that is what the motivator. 849 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,279 Speaker 18: Yes, and in fact it has been years, hasn't it. 850 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 18: So I think that's why I say that the police 851 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,759 Speaker 18: will need to balance avoiding escalating the situation and bringing 852 00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,600 Speaker 18: it to a close because this can't go on forever. 853 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,400 Speaker 18: But police, I think are wisely not jumping into it 854 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:03,840 Speaker 18: too quickly. 855 00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,040 Speaker 2: I mean, look, it would it not be possible to 856 00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,520 Speaker 2: watch these guys, find out where they are, watch them, 857 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,279 Speaker 2: and then if we want to avoid a gunfight, which 858 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,719 Speaker 2: we definitely do, nab them next time they go into 859 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:15,799 Speaker 2: Pew Pew to get some milk. 860 00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,440 Speaker 18: Yeah, that would be a good outcome as well. And 861 00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:21,759 Speaker 18: I suspect that's one option that police will be not 862 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:27,160 Speaker 18: just looking at, but potentially looking to effect. But you know, 863 00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,879 Speaker 18: this is an unpredictable situation, and from what I've seen 864 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,840 Speaker 18: in the media, the allegations are that he has weapons 865 00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,960 Speaker 18: with him, perhaps all the time. So it's really difficult, 866 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:38,520 Speaker 18: I think, to find a time that would be safe 867 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:39,680 Speaker 18: for everyone is. 868 00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,200 Speaker 2: Tell me, Please tell me if I'm naive, But is 869 00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,840 Speaker 2: it not possible that we have the capability within the 870 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,200 Speaker 2: police or the defense force to actually track these guys 871 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,200 Speaker 2: to where they are and be on them before they 872 00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:49,839 Speaker 2: realize it. 873 00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:53,800 Speaker 18: I think there is that capability, and I think perhaps 874 00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:55,759 Speaker 18: we'll get to the point where that's exactly what they 875 00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,960 Speaker 18: will do. But with that option, there's a huge amount 876 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,680 Speaker 18: of risk, is keV. As they are as professional as 877 00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,040 Speaker 18: the police and the Defense Force are, there's the risk 878 00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,319 Speaker 18: they could pick up a gun and open fire. We've 879 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,760 Speaker 18: seen that overseas, we've seen that in New Zealand on occasion. 880 00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:09,600 Speaker 3: No one wants that. 881 00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:11,879 Speaker 2: Matthew, it's wonderful to talk to you. Thank you so much, 882 00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:15,120 Speaker 2: thanks for expertise. Matthew Haig, a military lawyer who's been 883 00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:16,640 Speaker 2: both in the Defense Force and the police.

If that is the case, then why aren't 909 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:25,000 Speaker 2: they giving a milk? Nineteen past five, Now here's a 910 00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,480 Speaker 2: story for you. A member of the Mongrel mob has 911 00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:30,480 Speaker 2: asked a judge in court for his confiscated gang patch 912 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,800 Speaker 2: back and the judge has said yes because of Teakunger. 913 00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:36,359 Speaker 2: So the gang member argued that he sees the mob 914 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,000 Speaker 2: as his family and that the patches like a family crest, 915 00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,759 Speaker 2: and the judge agreed with him. Alexander Gillespie is a 916 00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:45,080 Speaker 2: law professor at the University of Wykathwin with us heyl 917 00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:49,000 Speaker 2: Hey header. Has the judge interpreted the law correctly? 918 00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:53,200 Speaker 19: I think he's interpreted it fairly. The problem is is 919 00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,160 Speaker 19: that it's an ambiguity in the law and it doesn't 920 00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,040 Speaker 19: say that the patch must be destroyed. If you want 921 00:42:58,080 --> 00:42:59,880 Speaker 19: to go back to this, take it back to Parliament, 922 00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 19: get the law straight, move forward. 923 00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:05,280 Speaker 2: How does te kunger apply? How does tea kunger override 924 00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:07,040 Speaker 2: the gang patch confiscation? 925 00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,479 Speaker 19: I think it's part of a wider discussion in that 926 00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:14,719 Speaker 19: this law has some very good aspects to it in 927 00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:16,759 Speaker 19: terms of making people feel a lot safer, but there 928 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,000 Speaker 19: are human rights aspects to it as well, in terms 929 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:22,239 Speaker 19: of freedom of speech, freedom of identity, a collective way 930 00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:25,040 Speaker 19: of seeing yourself. I think tea kung is just one 931 00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:27,680 Speaker 19: word that's been applied to this which the media has 932 00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:31,520 Speaker 19: got hold of. To me, it's a difficult issue, but 933 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,200 Speaker 19: if Parliament feels that there's a need to move forward, 934 00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,239 Speaker 19: they should. They should just take it back and make 935 00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:39,799 Speaker 19: me no ambiguity. There was an ambiguity in this. If 936 00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:41,680 Speaker 19: you want to make sure that the patches are removed, 937 00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,120 Speaker 19: just get Parliament to say take them out and that 938 00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:45,200 Speaker 19: they cannot be returned. 939 00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,759 Speaker 2: Okay, So is it not necessarily actually a tea kunger thing, 940 00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:50,279 Speaker 2: but really a bill of rights thing. 941 00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:57,520 Speaker 19: It's a poorly written law thing because it's it's not 942 00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:59,760 Speaker 19: really either a bill of rights thing or a teacung 943 00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,640 Speaker 19: the thing. It's like if parliament monsters, I mean, you 944 00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:06,240 Speaker 19: can do that. You can say don't have patches in public, 945 00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,000 Speaker 19: which is a fear of laws. Other countries do it 946 00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,880 Speaker 19: as well. But if it comes to the removal and 947 00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,520 Speaker 19: destruction of the patch, then that's where you should say 948 00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:15,000 Speaker 19: it must happen or it shall happen. 949 00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:18,200 Speaker 2: Right, And weren't they they were warned that they need 950 00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:20,719 Speaker 2: to write into law that they must destroy the patch 951 00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:22,200 Speaker 2: otherwise the patch could be given back. 952 00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:26,040 Speaker 19: Yeah, yeah, that's right, you know. So to me it's something, 953 00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:28,879 Speaker 19: you know, if this is an issue, and I don't 954 00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:30,680 Speaker 19: think there's a risk here that there's going to suddenly 955 00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:32,680 Speaker 19: be a lot of patches returned around the country because 956 00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,680 Speaker 19: it's a very specific case. But if there is a 957 00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:39,279 Speaker 19: concern as with all issues where there is ambiguity, you 958 00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,120 Speaker 19: don't want the judges making law, but you want Parliament 959 00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,520 Speaker 19: to make law. Take it back, rewrite it, make sure 960 00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:46,160 Speaker 19: that ambiguity is gone, move forward. 961 00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,480 Speaker 2: Good stuff. Well as always, I really love talking to you. 962 00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:50,600 Speaker 2: Thank you. El Gillespie, Professor of Law at the University 963 00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,160 Speaker 2: of Wycato. Okay, this is what I'm excited about. Look, 964 00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:56,879 Speaker 2: brace yourself, lower your expectations immediately. This is what I 965 00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:00,960 Speaker 2: am excited about. Next Tuesday, the the ACT Party is 966 00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:03,360 Speaker 2: going to be announcing the ACT Party's position on the 967 00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,719 Speaker 2: Paris Agreement and New Zealand's approach to climate policy. And 968 00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:10,560 Speaker 2: I am already here for this. I am already fizzing 969 00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:12,480 Speaker 2: for this. I already know it's going to consume all 970 00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:15,239 Speaker 2: of my Tuesday and definitely my Thursday night when I 971 00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:19,279 Speaker 2: write a column about it. For sure. You please, dear God, 972 00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,400 Speaker 2: let the ACT Party promise to pull us out of 973 00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:24,080 Speaker 2: the Climate Agreement, because they have to, right, because they 974 00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:26,680 Speaker 2: are the party who seems to at least see things rationally, 975 00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:28,800 Speaker 2: not get caught up in the vibes and the emos. 976 00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:32,160 Speaker 2: It's lovely. I also am worried about the climate. It's 977 00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,280 Speaker 2: lovely to think that we can all join the Paris 978 00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:37,319 Speaker 2: Agreement and then pledge, we pledge that we will all 979 00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,279 Speaker 2: bring down our emissions. But we're not. We're not doing that, 980 00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:42,680 Speaker 2: and no one else is, and we're all headed to 981 00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:44,880 Speaker 2: still burn the planet. So in which case, stop wasting 982 00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,160 Speaker 2: your time, stop wasting your money, pull out of the 983 00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,120 Speaker 2: stupid thing, and find another way to make it because 984 00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,120 Speaker 2: it's not working right, So why would you keep on 985 00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:54,040 Speaker 2: wasting your time with something that's not working anyway? This 986 00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:56,200 Speaker 2: is me just getting right in there right now and 987 00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:59,000 Speaker 2: hoping that on Friday I can still influence what I 988 00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:00,880 Speaker 2: can't still influence. That's what the act Party is going 989 00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:02,360 Speaker 2: to do on Tuesday. They've already sowed it up. But 990 00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,840 Speaker 2: this is what I'm hoping for. We will definitely be 991 00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:08,040 Speaker 2: talking about it on the show Absolutely five twenty two. 992 00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:11,720 Speaker 1: The name you trust to get the answers you need, 993 00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:16,040 Speaker 1: it's Heather Duplicy Ellen Drive with one New Zealand coverage. 994 00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:18,879 Speaker 3: Like no one else news talks, there'd be Heather. 995 00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:22,000 Speaker 2: I'm with you on the Paris announcement. That's right, see 996 00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,680 Speaker 2: what happens on Tuesday five twenty five. Now I've come 997 00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:26,640 Speaker 2: around to the idea of a bed levy in Auckland. 998 00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:28,560 Speaker 2: This is the thing that the Mayor of Auckland and 999 00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:30,960 Speaker 2: various others have been calling for but which the PM 1000 00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,560 Speaker 2: has said no to. A bed levy in Auckland is 1001 00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:36,240 Speaker 2: actually not that outrageous an idea, because we were already 1002 00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:38,319 Speaker 2: doing something similar to this before COVID. It was a 1003 00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:41,320 Speaker 2: targeted rate that hotels paid. But then, of course we 1004 00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:43,560 Speaker 2: se Auckland. When I say well, I mean Auckland stopped 1005 00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:45,239 Speaker 2: it during COVID because there was no one in the 1006 00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:47,120 Speaker 2: hotels and it was unfair to make them pay if 1007 00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:49,040 Speaker 2: they didn't have guests. And it was never started up 1008 00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:52,200 Speaker 2: again after COVID, and a bed levy would just quite 1009 00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:55,360 Speaker 2: nicely replace that basically, and we need it right, Auckland 1010 00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,520 Speaker 2: needs it. Look at what has happened because we don't 1011 00:46:57,520 --> 00:46:59,360 Speaker 2: have the money that was generated by that rate to 1012 00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:02,000 Speaker 2: bring events here. Auckland has almost nothing on the calendar. 1013 00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,920 Speaker 2: The city's economy has slumped. One in eight retail shops 1014 00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,480 Speaker 2: are empty. The unemployment in Auckland is higher than the 1015 00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:10,120 Speaker 2: national unemployment rate, and it was pointed out this week 1016 00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:13,440 Speaker 2: that Melbourne has more music festivals and stadium concerts happening 1017 00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:16,640 Speaker 2: in one week in December than Auckland has for the 1018 00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:20,359 Speaker 2: whole year of twenty twenty five. Now this is not 1019 00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:21,960 Speaker 2: just an Auckland problem. I mean this is a whole 1020 00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:23,880 Speaker 2: country problem because when a big artist or a big 1021 00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:26,279 Speaker 2: event comes here, it often comes to Auckland. But this 1022 00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:31,080 Speaker 2: year no Lady Gaga, no Oasis, previously, no Taytay. Auckland 1023 00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,919 Speaker 2: Council yesterday decided to set some money aside to start 1024 00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:37,360 Speaker 2: going hard on attracting events. Again. It's an underwriting basically, 1025 00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:40,120 Speaker 2: which means that if Auckland does get the events and 1026 00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:43,200 Speaker 2: then the money actually does get paid, rate payers then 1027 00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:45,359 Speaker 2: have to pay for it. So rate payers will pay 1028 00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:47,319 Speaker 2: for this. Now that's fine if that's what it takes. 1029 00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:49,439 Speaker 2: But I would prefer that it wasn't Auckland rate payers 1030 00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,200 Speaker 2: stumping up to bring big events here for the country. 1031 00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:54,680 Speaker 2: I would prefer that it was tourists staying in our 1032 00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:58,160 Speaker 2: hotels often for those events who were stumping up. So 1033 00:47:58,200 --> 00:47:59,960 Speaker 2: the government needs to get on board and let the 1034 00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:03,640 Speaker 2: bed levy happen. Ever, do for sel Now you want 1035 00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:06,480 Speaker 2: to hear what's going on with Auckland FC. So Auckland 1036 00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:10,520 Speaker 2: FC are busy playing in this Australasia Cup thing that 1037 00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:13,160 Speaker 2: they're doing, and they've got a semi final that they're 1038 00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:16,160 Speaker 2: supposed to play against some Victorian squad called what is 1039 00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:20,719 Speaker 2: it Heidelberg United. But the problem is the problem is 1040 00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,480 Speaker 2: the organizers have had to bring the semi final forward 1041 00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:28,400 Speaker 2: by two weeks and which is a total kerfuffle for everybody. 1042 00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:30,160 Speaker 2: This game that was supposed to happen is now going 1043 00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:33,320 Speaker 2: to have to happen two weeks early because Heidelberg United 1044 00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:35,960 Speaker 2: have got an end of season boys trip to Las 1045 00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:38,719 Speaker 2: Vegas booked in and they're not prepared to change that. 1046 00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:42,200 Speaker 2: So the whole Auckland f C Club, they might have 1047 00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:44,480 Speaker 2: had holidays booked, they might have had things that they 1048 00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:47,799 Speaker 2: were doing, they might have had No everybody has to 1049 00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:52,680 Speaker 2: down tools and reschedule everything for the end of season 1050 00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:56,480 Speaker 2: boys trip to Las Vegas. Isn't that mental? Mental? But 1051 00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:57,960 Speaker 2: it did happen. We're going to talk to the sports 1052 00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:01,520 Speaker 2: tittle about that, shorty, But first Themes Games and Toadunger 1053 00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:02,440 Speaker 2: News Talk's head. 1054 00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:11,759 Speaker 1: Beat on your smart speaker, on the iHeart app and 1055 00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:14,560 Speaker 1: in your car on your drive home, it's Heather Duplicy 1056 00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,800 Speaker 1: Ellen Drive with one New Zealand and the power of 1057 00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,520 Speaker 1: satellite mobile news talks head bes. 1058 00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:28,399 Speaker 3: DA Suity jursue by. 1059 00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:30,640 Speaker 2: Remember that thing we were talking We were talking about for 1060 00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:32,960 Speaker 2: a couple of days with Toadunger and the Ewie, the 1061 00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:35,200 Speaker 2: fight over the extinction. We've got the boss of support 1062 00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:38,600 Speaker 2: of Towadunger with us upter six o'clock as they've reported today. Okay, 1063 00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:40,080 Speaker 2: here we go. I've got a text from Wayne. Wayne, 1064 00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:41,680 Speaker 2: I'm going to need a follow up response from you 1065 00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:43,600 Speaker 2: on this one. I've got a supplementary question for you. 1066 00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:46,759 Speaker 2: This is Wayne's text, Heather. I'm a dairy farmer. The 1067 00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:48,680 Speaker 2: last thing I want is for New Zealand to pull 1068 00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:51,920 Speaker 2: out of the Paris Accord. The collateral destruction of trade 1069 00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:54,680 Speaker 2: would be disastrous. The problem is how the morons have 1070 00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:57,960 Speaker 2: interpreted it. They pay more attention to a key clause 1071 00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,840 Speaker 2: being that implementation should not affect the production of food. 1072 00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:03,520 Speaker 2: That is the problem. Please reconsider your position on this. Okay, 1073 00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:07,200 Speaker 2: s Wayne, this is my question to you. What destruction 1074 00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:10,520 Speaker 2: of what trade are you talking about? Because as far 1075 00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:12,160 Speaker 2: as I know, and tell me if I'm wrong, but 1076 00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:15,040 Speaker 2: as far as I know, the only two FTAs that 1077 00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:18,320 Speaker 2: would be affected by what we do with the climate 1078 00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:23,680 Speaker 2: is the UK FTA and the EUFTA. The UK one's 1079 00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:26,880 Speaker 2: pretty generous. The EU one is rubbish. Don't even worry 1080 00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,760 Speaker 2: about that. So let's just talk about the UK one. 1081 00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:32,160 Speaker 2: Are they tell me if it's the UK one for 1082 00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:34,279 Speaker 2: the first start? Is that what you're talking about? Are 1083 00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:36,279 Speaker 2: they going to kick at us because of it? And 1084 00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:38,640 Speaker 2: then how much of our milk is going there? And 1085 00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:40,919 Speaker 2: do we care about it when most of our milk 1086 00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:43,439 Speaker 2: is going to China? Who don't care about Paris? Follow 1087 00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:45,279 Speaker 2: up texts police, thank you and then we'll deal with that. 1088 00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:46,239 Speaker 2: Twenty three away from. 1089 00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:47,880 Speaker 3: Six ever, do for c Allen. 1090 00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:51,200 Speaker 2: Now more than twenty five thousand visitors from around Australasia 1091 00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:53,440 Speaker 2: are descending on totaling of this weekend for the Ames Games, 1092 00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:57,879 Speaker 2: fourteen thousand intermediate age kids from around the continent will 1093 00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:02,560 Speaker 2: be complete, competing in twenty seven different sports.

Why did the Australians not come 1115 00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:05,759 Speaker 2: over this year? 1116 00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:10,800 Speaker 20: We haven't had Australia come over in a number of years. 1117 00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:15,440 Speaker 20: So yeah, it's primarily New Zealand schools without Pacific Island 1118 00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:16,080 Speaker 20: friends as well. 1119 00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:19,320 Speaker 2: What happened, Kelly?

It's twenty one away from. 1135 00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:02,560 Speaker 1: Six Friday Sports Total with New Zealand Suburby's International Realty 1136 00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:10,640 Speaker 1: find You're one of a kind. 1137 00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:14,719 Speaker 18: A minimum of twenty eight days for any concussion is 1138 00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:17,759 Speaker 18: required before they actually go back to training and doing 1139 00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:18,439 Speaker 18: everything else. 1140 00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:20,600 Speaker 3: They're going to treat a brain like a broken arm, 1141 00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:21,520 Speaker 3: then why don't we. 1142 00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:24,080 Speaker 18: Just take the cast off at ten days because we 1143 00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:25,279 Speaker 18: all know we're going to rebreak it. 1144 00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:28,960 Speaker 10: The lucky loser kind of getting two advantages both in 1145 00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:32,919 Speaker 10: terms of the second a second crack and also home 1146 00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:36,160 Speaker 10: advantage in the semi if you're ranked high enough. 1147 00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:39,040 Speaker 6: So we mind that out full time. 1148 00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:41,040 Speaker 3: One is thirty two. 1149 00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:45,440 Speaker 2: That Titans eighteen Sports title of US. This evening we 1150 00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:49,400 Speaker 2: have Elliott Smith, News Talk zb's Rugby editor rather and 1151 00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:54,040 Speaker 2: Nick Bewley Newstalk ZB Canterbury Sports Treat Highlands Evening. 1152 00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:55,399 Speaker 3: Did I hit it? 1153 00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:58,160 Speaker 2: Elliott? Is Rugby doing enough to prevent the CTE from 1154 00:53:58,160 --> 00:53:58,760 Speaker 2: the head knocks? 1155 00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,680 Speaker 4: You can probably always do a little bit more, I think, 1156 00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:06,520 Speaker 4: But let's not forget that this game isn't the one 1157 00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:09,319 Speaker 4: that was played five years ago, played ten years ago, 1158 00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:12,040 Speaker 4: played fifteen years ago, played forty years ago, That it 1159 00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:17,160 Speaker 4: is constantly evolving, and obviously that the Shane Christie News 1160 00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:21,160 Speaker 4: this week was absolutely horrific, and he's obviously getting his 1161 00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:24,200 Speaker 4: brain donated to science to check this for CTA, which 1162 00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:27,640 Speaker 4: he believed he had. But the game is constantly evolving 1163 00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:30,080 Speaker 4: and trying to find ways that it can be safer 1164 00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:33,520 Speaker 4: while also retaining what draws people to both play it 1165 00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:37,440 Speaker 4: and watch it and get people through the gates watching 1166 00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:41,320 Speaker 4: on TV. So look, you probably always do a little 1167 00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:45,959 Speaker 4: bit more, But it's like smoking. You know, people still 1168 00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:48,400 Speaker 4: want to smoke cigarettes, and where is that line of 1169 00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:53,440 Speaker 4: just allow people to do it versus you know, like 1170 00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:53,920 Speaker 4: I like it. 1171 00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:55,280 Speaker 2: I like it because you're going to go the personal 1172 00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:57,759 Speaker 2: responsibility one and I like it. But it's a little 1173 00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:00,279 Speaker 2: bit more like if you go to a factory or 1174 00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:02,280 Speaker 2: if you're working in a factory and people are smoking 1175 00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:05,040 Speaker 2: cigarettes around you, right, your boss has to tell you. 1176 00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:07,120 Speaker 2: In this instance, hey, if you're going to hang around 1177 00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:09,600 Speaker 2: and all of the smoke like you might you might die. 1178 00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:12,360 Speaker 2: That's that is where the rugby that's where the rugby 1179 00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:13,440 Speaker 2: boss is fit in that equation. 1180 00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:18,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, yeah, And there has been talked when the 1181 00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,880 Speaker 4: past of players potentially signing waivers. I don't know that 1182 00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:23,759 Speaker 4: you want to go that far. And New Zealand we're 1183 00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:26,760 Speaker 4: lucky to have acc that can provide that sort of treatment, 1184 00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:28,480 Speaker 4: which is not the case in the northern hemisterhere, and 1185 00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:31,200 Speaker 4: that's where all the law cases are coming from because 1186 00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:33,640 Speaker 4: they don't have that sort of protection up there. So 1187 00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:36,239 Speaker 4: I think rugby can always do more, but there is 1188 00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:39,919 Speaker 4: a very very fine line and what do you do 1189 00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:42,600 Speaker 4: do you do you mandate it that basically you can't 1190 00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:46,520 Speaker 4: you can't play concussion for for two months, we'll players' 1191 00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:47,000 Speaker 4: report it. 1192 00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:48,680 Speaker 2: Do you think so? 1193 00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:50,000 Speaker 4: Absolutely? 1194 00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:52,560 Speaker 2: We see early as we're watching the telly, we'll see 1195 00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:53,879 Speaker 2: them go down with a massive head knock. 1196 00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:57,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, but then after the game, you know this, the 1197 00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:00,880 Speaker 4: smart mouthguards help. But if you're coming back as you 1198 00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:02,440 Speaker 4: maybe took a knock in the game that didn't trigger 1199 00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:04,759 Speaker 4: a smart mask, gad, if you have to stand down 1200 00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:07,800 Speaker 4: when you report for a month, six weeks, whatever it 1201 00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:10,120 Speaker 4: might be, are you actually going to do that if 1202 00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:10,880 Speaker 4: you're a player? 1203 00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:12,279 Speaker 2: What do you think? Nick? 1204 00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:16,319 Speaker 21: Oh, it's complicated issue, isn't it. I think just on 1205 00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:20,240 Speaker 21: that minimum standdown period, you know, it is worth noting 1206 00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:22,759 Speaker 21: it's obviously improved up to twelve days, but it is 1207 00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:25,160 Speaker 21: a little bit murky. I think, as Doug King pointed 1208 00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:27,560 Speaker 21: out in that cut, that are you know why is 1209 00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:31,200 Speaker 21: a professional athletes brain different to that of an amateur 1210 00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:33,600 Speaker 21: sports person's brain. In terms of the community guidelines are 1211 00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:37,960 Speaker 21: twenty one day minimum standdown, professionals being twelve other sports 1212 00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:40,800 Speaker 21: it changes again And as sort of Elliot was alluding 1213 00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:45,120 Speaker 21: to that, I don't probably subscribe to the theory that 1214 00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:47,200 Speaker 21: the underreporting is going to be happening because we know 1215 00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:49,520 Speaker 21: of how much the technology has advanced over the last 1216 00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:52,359 Speaker 21: couple of years with with the smart mouth guards probably 1217 00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:54,520 Speaker 21: the one. The only point I would stress too is 1218 00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:58,120 Speaker 21: around that minimum standown period. It seems a little bit 1219 00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:03,600 Speaker 21: harsh view to imply that there's been pressure from rugby 1220 00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:06,359 Speaker 21: teams or high performance sport environments to go back at 1221 00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:09,320 Speaker 21: eleven days just because it will be to the benefit 1222 00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:11,360 Speaker 21: of that sports team. Like I know our current example 1223 00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:13,960 Speaker 21: down here in Canterbury where a professional player has been 1224 00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:16,600 Speaker 21: scrubbed out for the last couple of weeks despite passing 1225 00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:20,400 Speaker 21: HIA test, just because they feel like it is worth 1226 00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:23,680 Speaker 21: airring on the side of caution. So it's a real 1227 00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:26,280 Speaker 21: complex issue and it is really unfortunate too here that 1228 00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:29,560 Speaker 21: at this point in time we're CTE. We can't diagnose 1229 00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:32,560 Speaker 21: it until that player has passed, and until then I 1230 00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:35,440 Speaker 21: feel like we're making a lot of judgments as to 1231 00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:38,720 Speaker 21: whether we think we can do more. As Elliott said, 1232 00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:40,440 Speaker 21: you know, how long is a piece of string win 1233 00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:42,720 Speaker 21: terms of what more we can do, it's pretty subjective. 1234 00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:44,760 Speaker 2: Nick, how much would you pay to watch all of 1235 00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:48,280 Speaker 2: the football the FIFA Football World Cup on TVNZ plus. 1236 00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:50,600 Speaker 21: That's probably a question for Jason Pine, I'm not the 1237 00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:53,200 Speaker 21: greatest football officionado. 1238 00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:56,880 Speaker 2: The answer to you is nothing, no, and that's exactly right. 1239 00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,360 Speaker 21: And look, I'll be covering and I hope I'm still 1240 00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:02,280 Speaker 21: in a job by that point with ZB But look, 1241 00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:05,320 Speaker 21: I'll watch the All Whites. I'll kind of keep a 1242 00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:08,600 Speaker 21: bit of an interest. However, I think the passionate football 1243 00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:12,080 Speaker 21: fans who want to see every single game, and my 1244 00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:14,680 Speaker 21: brother in law, for example, absolutely loves following Manchester City 1245 00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:16,600 Speaker 21: in the Premier League. I think he'd pay about fifty 1246 00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:17,040 Speaker 21: bucks for it. 1247 00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:19,919 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, okay, there's something going on, Nick that you're 1248 00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:21,680 Speaker 2: not going to be employed by us mid next year. 1249 00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:22,240 Speaker 22: No, no, no, no, no. 1250 00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:24,600 Speaker 21: I just I always want to put that caveat out 1251 00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:25,280 Speaker 21: there just in case. 1252 00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:28,000 Speaker 2: I'm also, do you also cross the room and touch 1253 00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:28,800 Speaker 2: something that's wooden? 1254 00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:30,439 Speaker 6: Always? Yeah? 1255 00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:33,080 Speaker 21: Okay, you know we're in the media industry. After it, 1256 00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:34,040 Speaker 21: I was going to say it's. 1257 00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:35,440 Speaker 2: Tough in the media, Elliott, I'm going to come back 1258 00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:36,920 Speaker 2: to you and just to tack on that, Nick Clearley, 1259 00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:39,200 Speaker 2: elliotts Sports title this evening Quarters two. 1260 00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:44,040 Speaker 1: The Friday Sports Title with New Zealand Southby's international real team, 1261 00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:46,560 Speaker 1: the Global Leader in luxury real estate. 1262 00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:48,919 Speaker 2: You're back with the sports huddle, Elliott, how much would 1263 00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:49,320 Speaker 2: you pay? 1264 00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:50,200 Speaker 23: Well? 1265 00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:51,520 Speaker 4: I think TV and Z has got me over a 1266 00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:54,680 Speaker 4: barrel a little bit because I love football. I'm willing 1267 00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:56,720 Speaker 4: to watch every game. I want to watch every game 1268 00:58:57,280 --> 00:58:59,240 Speaker 4: of the FIFA World Cup when it's been on Sky. 1269 00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:04,920 Speaker 4: I've watched plenty throughout, so there's probably a line somewhere, 1270 00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:07,600 Speaker 4: but you know, I'm going to pay it probably regardless 1271 00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:09,520 Speaker 4: of what they put up. The games are going to 1272 00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:11,160 Speaker 4: be at a good time, so I think the earliest to 1273 00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:13,840 Speaker 4: be about five six am New Zealand time, right through 1274 00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:18,200 Speaker 4: the morning into the afternoon. So look, it probably macks 1275 00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:21,320 Speaker 4: out at about one hundred and twenty dollars, but I'm 1276 00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:23,560 Speaker 4: probably going to pay whatever they ask. But I'm not 1277 00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:27,040 Speaker 4: sure how it's a sustainable business model, is the other thing. 1278 00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:28,440 Speaker 4: And mean, they're going to get the sugar hit from 1279 00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:31,000 Speaker 4: all the FIFA fans coming in for the month long 1280 00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:33,320 Speaker 4: pass or whatever it is, but then it's going to 1281 00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:34,760 Speaker 4: dry up again. So I don't know how that's a 1282 00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:37,040 Speaker 4: sustainable business model for TV in Isn't. 1283 00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:39,080 Speaker 2: It Isn't it isn't The idea just to basically get 1284 00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:42,160 Speaker 2: us used like. It's like a soft launch, isn't it 1285 00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:42,640 Speaker 2: of their paser. 1286 00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:44,760 Speaker 4: They happened with Spark Sport. They did the tournament pass 1287 00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:46,800 Speaker 4: of the twenty nineteen World carp and then everyone jumped 1288 00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:49,840 Speaker 4: off again. So they need compelling content to keep coming, 1289 00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:53,320 Speaker 4: you know, every every month. That's what sustains you know, 1290 00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:56,479 Speaker 4: the Sky Sport and Netflix. Disney plusses he keep coming 1291 00:59:56,520 --> 00:59:58,680 Speaker 4: back every month, he keep playing paying that subscription. 1292 00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:02,840 Speaker 2: Yeah too, right. Did you see that Auckland FC scheduling drama? 1293 01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:04,600 Speaker 10: Oh? 1294 01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:06,680 Speaker 21: I thought you're going to ask me about their their 1295 01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:09,600 Speaker 21: uniforms actually which I thought they looked like they look 1296 01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:11,600 Speaker 21: like the black Caps test cricket kit, one of those 1297 01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:12,960 Speaker 21: ones with the am Z on the front. 1298 01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:13,880 Speaker 2: But I like it. 1299 01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:16,640 Speaker 21: Yeah, I did have a wee look at the scheduling issue. 1300 01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:21,120 Speaker 21: This is with the Australia Cup, the knockout competition. They 1301 01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:22,600 Speaker 21: thought they were going to play in about three or 1302 01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,520 Speaker 21: four weeks time. Now it's been broad ahead because some 1303 01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:28,920 Speaker 21: amateur teams off on her knees up to Vegas. 1304 01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:31,440 Speaker 2: What's how good? What's going on? I mean, I mean, 1305 01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:34,040 Speaker 2: I don't want to interrupt a boy's weekend to Las Vegas, 1306 01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:36,760 Speaker 2: but Surely actually playing your football is more important, isn't it? 1307 01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:40,320 Speaker 21: And particularly I think the fact that Football Australia feels 1308 01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:44,240 Speaker 21: like a willing to go into bat for their you know, 1309 01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:47,200 Speaker 21: Victorian amateur club as opposed to Auckland FC, who have 1310 01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:50,160 Speaker 21: been a sort of fantastic introduction into the A League, 1311 01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:52,520 Speaker 21: at least sort of from the outside looking in. Ye're 1312 01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:54,400 Speaker 21: curious to say the least. 1313 01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:55,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, Elliott, what do you I mean? 1314 01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:55,880 Speaker 19: Is it? 1315 01:00:56,120 --> 01:00:58,000 Speaker 2: Is it playing favorites? Is that what's happened here? 1316 01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:00,880 Speaker 4: It feels like it. Should you gone? Actually no, we've 1317 01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:02,640 Speaker 4: got something books that weekend as well. We're going to 1318 01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:04,360 Speaker 4: go to Topol, We're going to go to you know, 1319 01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:06,760 Speaker 4: we've got something in the in the We're going to 1320 01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:09,680 Speaker 4: lads trip of ourselves. So we want to play on 1321 01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:11,640 Speaker 4: this state. They should have fut fort fire with fire, 1322 01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:15,120 Speaker 4: I reckon and tried to get the date that they wanted. 1323 01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:19,080 Speaker 2: Well, I don't know. With Taupo Taupo Las Vegas. 1324 01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:20,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, thank you, pick you pick. 1325 01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:22,680 Speaker 2: Up room, you could step it up a little bit. 1326 01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:24,880 Speaker 2: Hey listen, Elliott, tell me something. Have you watched that 1327 01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:26,680 Speaker 2: video of Alexander Usik dancing? 1328 01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:27,920 Speaker 20: I have? 1329 01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:31,919 Speaker 4: He doesn't look overly into does he here no, so. 1330 01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:33,880 Speaker 2: Does he have a back injury that has forced him 1331 01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:35,800 Speaker 2: to not be able to play to fight or what 1332 01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:36,440 Speaker 2: what's going on? 1333 01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:38,919 Speaker 4: I don't think so. I think he's trying to draw 1334 01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:43,680 Speaker 4: this out and trigger the negotiations to an impass. And 1335 01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:46,520 Speaker 4: because he doesn't want to fight Joseph Parker that his 1336 01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:49,240 Speaker 4: camp made it relatively to you from the whispers they've 1337 01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:52,240 Speaker 4: put out that year, while that's been mandated, there's no 1338 01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:55,080 Speaker 4: interest from the Saudias and Parker fighting Usk the money. 1339 01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:57,520 Speaker 4: He's just not there. So I think he's just biting 1340 01:01:57,560 --> 01:02:00,120 Speaker 4: time and waiting for something to happen and trying to 1341 01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:03,400 Speaker 4: avoid Parker because it's not an attractive enough fight. It's 1342 01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:05,120 Speaker 4: not going to earn him the money that he wants. 1343 01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:09,200 Speaker 4: So I think they're playing silly buggers. He's playing silly buggers. 1344 01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:11,560 Speaker 4: And I feel sorry for Joseph Parker and all of 1345 01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:15,240 Speaker 4: this because it's his world title fight that's been mandated, 1346 01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:18,000 Speaker 4: but it increasingly looks like once again and it's happened before, 1347 01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:20,000 Speaker 4: that he's going to be potentially left out in the 1348 01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:22,680 Speaker 4: cold because he's not the drawer card at the Saudi's 1349 01:02:22,680 --> 01:02:24,520 Speaker 4: et cetera. Want from a business perspective. 1350 01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:27,760 Speaker 2: Having said that, Nick, look, I've got a leg injury 1351 01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:30,240 Speaker 2: that does you know? It excludes me from a marathon, 1352 01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:32,480 Speaker 2: but it doesn't stop me, you know, walking. 1353 01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:38,240 Speaker 21: So are you comparing a marathon to twelve rings for twelve? 1354 01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:42,800 Speaker 2: I am comparing myself with Joseph Parker, and I am. 1355 01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:44,480 Speaker 21: Oh, that's good stuff. 1356 01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:44,760 Speaker 8: Now. 1357 01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:48,120 Speaker 21: I think Elliott sums out there it is unfortunate for 1358 01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:50,360 Speaker 21: Joseph Parker, but these are the realities of the wheelings 1359 01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:53,160 Speaker 21: and dealings of professional boxing, and you do hope for 1360 01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:55,040 Speaker 21: his sake he can get back there. Who knows. I mean, 1361 01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:59,280 Speaker 21: Osak could relinquish this belt and maybe that's the best way. 1362 01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:01,640 Speaker 21: Joseph Parker has a chance at fighting for it for 1363 01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:03,840 Speaker 21: a vacated world belt, but it doesn't look great. 1364 01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:06,960 Speaker 2: Guys, enjoy your weekend. Thank you so much. Appreciated Alliot 1365 01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:08,520 Speaker 2: Smith and Nick Beuley on that. Do you know what, 1366 01:03:08,560 --> 01:03:10,120 Speaker 2: I think that Nick might have struck it on the 1367 01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:13,240 Speaker 2: fifty because Jody when she my mate, Jody who's the 1368 01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:16,080 Speaker 2: boss of TV and zaid we're on first name basis. Yeah, 1369 01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:18,120 Speaker 2: that's how a lot of this is going down. Jody 1370 01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:19,480 Speaker 2: on her way out, she was like, how much would 1371 01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:22,400 Speaker 2: you pay? And she was like, and I don't think 1372 01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:24,880 Speaker 2: I'm breaking her confidence when she said and Mike said, 1373 01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:27,480 Speaker 2: and we're talking about Mike Costking obviously first name basis. 1374 01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:29,480 Speaker 2: Mike said, but what did he say, like one hundred 1375 01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:31,160 Speaker 2: and thirty nine or something, didn't they? And she was like, 1376 01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:35,800 Speaker 2: but Mike's not really normal, like financially and we were like, na, 1377 01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:38,160 Speaker 2: nah not. And I said, yeah, fifty bucks, I reckon, 1378 01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:40,000 Speaker 2: and then and then Nick backed it up with the 1379 01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:42,320 Speaker 2: fifty I reckon, the fifties. I reckon. They're not going 1380 01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:44,080 Speaker 2: to She's done the research. I don't know why she's 1381 01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:48,080 Speaker 2: bothering to poll normal people like me, But fifty If 1382 01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:50,480 Speaker 2: Jody's listening, fifty fifty is where you want to hit it. 1383 01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:52,200 Speaker 2: Sweet spot seven away from six. 1384 01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:56,720 Speaker 1: It's the Heather Duplessy Allen Drive Full Show podcast on 1385 01:03:56,920 --> 01:03:59,600 Speaker 1: my Ard Radio powered by News Talk zb. 1386 01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:04,560 Speaker 2: Hey News just out. Neil Quigley has gone. This is 1387 01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:06,920 Speaker 2: the Chair of the Reserve Bank. Neil Quigley has just 1388 01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:10,240 Speaker 2: tended his resignation today. We know this because Nichola Willis 1389 01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:13,280 Speaker 2: has put out a press statement saying departing Reserve Bank 1390 01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:17,400 Speaker 2: chair thanked mister Quigley today tended his resignation from the 1391 01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:21,440 Speaker 2: board and as board chair with immediate effect. He's decided 1392 01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:23,760 Speaker 2: that having overseen a number of keywork streams for the bank, 1393 01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:27,440 Speaker 2: now is the appro ha appropriate time for him to 1394 01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:29,920 Speaker 2: hand over as a new chair. That's not why he 1395 01:04:30,040 --> 01:04:33,360 Speaker 2: quit whatever. Look, we have to get used to the 1396 01:04:33,360 --> 01:04:35,080 Speaker 2: fact that out of the Reserve Bank we get all 1397 01:04:35,160 --> 01:04:37,200 Speaker 2: kinds of reasons for why people have quit. That's not 1398 01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:39,800 Speaker 2: why he quit. Why he quit is because it was 1399 01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:43,439 Speaker 2: completely unsustainable for Neil Quigley to stay in the role 1400 01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:45,960 Speaker 2: when he has been busted telling a polkey now so 1401 01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:48,680 Speaker 2: many times that you cannot trust a thing that comes 1402 01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:51,400 Speaker 2: out of his mouth. What's happened and what's happened this 1403 01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:55,000 Speaker 2: week has actually been not It hasn't received the attention 1404 01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:58,400 Speaker 2: that it should have because it was significant what happened 1405 01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:00,840 Speaker 2: this week. What happened this week that we found out 1406 01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:04,560 Speaker 2: why Adrian or Rarely left the bank. Remember how Neil 1407 01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:07,400 Speaker 2: told us with the personal decision wasn't a personal decision 1408 01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:10,360 Speaker 2: at all. What we found out because Jane Tibshraney's been 1409 01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:11,880 Speaker 2: doing all the work on this, and so is Michael 1410 01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:14,760 Speaker 2: Radallen Well done to the pair of them. What actually 1411 01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:18,400 Speaker 2: happened was that Adrian Orr had a meeting with Treasury, 1412 01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:22,280 Speaker 2: then he had a meeting with nikola Willis. Then three 1413 01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:24,320 Speaker 2: days after the meeting with Nikolai Willis, he gets a 1414 01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:26,920 Speaker 2: letter from Neil quickly saying, hey, mate, listen. The tenor 1415 01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:30,040 Speaker 2: of the dialogue in those meetings was not cool. So 1416 01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:31,840 Speaker 2: we're sending you a list of a whole bunch of 1417 01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:35,560 Speaker 2: things we're worried about. At that point, Adrian Or steps out. 1418 01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:38,040 Speaker 2: We didn't know this until this week. He steps down 1419 01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:41,920 Speaker 2: as the Reserve Bank governor and leaves the office. That's Thursday, 1420 01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:44,720 Speaker 2: don't come back Friday, don't come back Monday, don't come 1421 01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:48,040 Speaker 2: back Tuesday. And on Wednesday he quits. That's why he quit, 1422 01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:50,920 Speaker 2: and then the letter gets withdrawn. He quit because of 1423 01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:52,720 Speaker 2: what happened in those meetings, and he got a letter 1424 01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:55,280 Speaker 2: from Neil, So the problem is for Neil. Then when 1425 01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:56,880 Speaker 2: Neil comes out and says to us he quits for 1426 01:05:56,960 --> 01:06:00,840 Speaker 2: personal decisions, Well he didn't, did he. So anyway, the 1427 01:06:00,880 --> 01:06:03,919 Speaker 2: problem now is Neil Quigley. You can't trust him. You've 1428 01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:06,160 Speaker 2: got to because he can't trust what he says based 1429 01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:10,480 Speaker 2: on this you've got to question his judgment. So now 1430 01:06:10,520 --> 01:06:12,320 Speaker 2: he's going to taint the new guy coming in or 1431 01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:15,000 Speaker 2: new lady or whoever they packed because we can't we 1432 01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:17,400 Speaker 2: can't trust his judgment. Blah blah blah. Anyway, he's gone. 1433 01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:21,360 Speaker 2: Nikola Willis's with us after six o'clock, which is coming 1434 01:06:21,400 --> 01:06:24,120 Speaker 2: up shortly.

I had expressed to 1488 01:08:49,960 --> 01:08:54,600 Speaker 23: him clearly my views, and he had also expressed to 1489 01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:59,040 Speaker 23: me that, with the government's decision to establish a new 1490 01:08:59,040 --> 01:09:02,120 Speaker 23: medical schoolt the Universe City of Wykato, that he did 1491 01:09:02,160 --> 01:09:04,639 Speaker 23: want to be able to focus his efforts on work 1492 01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:09,200 Speaker 23: for the university. And we've also together been in the 1493 01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:12,360 Speaker 23: process of appointing a new governor, a process that we 1494 01:09:12,479 --> 01:09:15,320 Speaker 23: both think is very important and that we didn't want 1495 01:09:15,320 --> 01:09:19,160 Speaker 23: to see jepardized in any way. That process is well progressed, 1496 01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:23,040 Speaker 23: and I have full confidence that that process will be 1497 01:09:23,080 --> 01:09:24,599 Speaker 23: completed in the next few weeks. 1498 01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:27,360 Speaker 2: If he hadn't resigned today, would you have withdrawn your confidence? 1499 01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:32,840 Speaker 23: If mister Quigley had not offered his resignation, I would 1500 01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:33,800 Speaker 23: have asked him for it. 1501 01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:38,439 Speaker 2: Wow, why well? 1502 01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:42,640 Speaker 23: As I've previously expressed, the Bank's handling of information requests 1503 01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:45,280 Speaker 23: relating to the exit of the former governor did not 1504 01:09:45,320 --> 01:09:50,400 Speaker 23: meet my expectations of transparency and of public accountability. I 1505 01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:55,480 Speaker 23: had the opportunity late last night to review the Ombudsman's 1506 01:09:55,560 --> 01:09:59,759 Speaker 23: ruling on this matter, the information that was subsequently released 1507 01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:03,280 Speaker 23: by the Bank, and the Bank's press release relating to 1508 01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:08,320 Speaker 23: those matters, and it did not meet my expectations for 1509 01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:10,559 Speaker 23: how that matter should have been handled. 1510 01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:13,400 Speaker 2: Did you not know? Did you know or did you 1511 01:10:13,439 --> 01:10:16,920 Speaker 2: not know that Adrian Orr had been sent a letter, 1512 01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:20,840 Speaker 2: had stepped down from his role and Christian Hawksby had 1513 01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:22,720 Speaker 2: taken over, and that he had left the office for 1514 01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:23,320 Speaker 2: five days? 1515 01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:29,120 Speaker 23: Did you know that I had been informed that letter 1516 01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:33,640 Speaker 23: of concern had been shared with Adrian Orr and that 1517 01:10:33,720 --> 01:10:38,320 Speaker 23: employment discussions were occurring. I had never seen that letter heither, 1518 01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:41,120 Speaker 23: and it was my view that at the point the 1519 01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:45,720 Speaker 23: Board had commenced those sorts of employment discussions with Adrian Or, 1520 01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:50,080 Speaker 23: it was really important to preserve the independence and the 1521 01:10:50,120 --> 01:10:53,600 Speaker 23: reputation of the Bank by not involving myself as a 1522 01:10:53,680 --> 01:10:57,400 Speaker 23: minister in the board's deliberations. On that employment matter. So 1523 01:10:57,479 --> 01:11:01,840 Speaker 23: I intentionally distanced my self from that process, putting my 1524 01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:06,080 Speaker 23: faith and trust in the board to communicate effectively what 1525 01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:10,200 Speaker 23: had happened when that time came. And as I've expressed, 1526 01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:14,320 Speaker 23: I'm not happy with the way that that was ultimately 1527 01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:14,760 Speaker 23: done with. 1528 01:11:14,760 --> 01:11:16,200 Speaker 2: I'm going to ask you a bunch of questions now 1529 01:11:16,200 --> 01:11:17,880 Speaker 2: so I can just get to the heart of something. Right, So, 1530 01:11:17,960 --> 01:11:20,200 Speaker 2: did you know that he'd stepped down and that Christian 1531 01:11:20,240 --> 01:11:21,600 Speaker 2: had taken over, and that he was out of the 1532 01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:23,120 Speaker 2: office for five days before he quit? 1533 01:11:24,200 --> 01:11:24,479 Speaker 6: Yes? 1534 01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:27,559 Speaker 2: Okay, then did if you knew that, then you must 1535 01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:29,519 Speaker 2: have known when Neil stood up on the day that 1536 01:11:29,560 --> 01:11:32,040 Speaker 2: he quit and said it was it was a personal decision. 1537 01:11:32,080 --> 01:11:33,639 Speaker 2: You must have known Neil was wrong. 1538 01:11:35,160 --> 01:11:38,960 Speaker 23: Well, ultimately, the decision for the Reserve Bank Governor to 1539 01:11:39,200 --> 01:11:44,000 Speaker 23: resign was his decision, and that was his personal MESSI 1540 01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:45,000 Speaker 23: so idy. 1541 01:11:45,439 --> 01:11:48,240 Speaker 2: That's so shady, though, isn't it? Because the truth is 1542 01:11:48,640 --> 01:11:50,880 Speaker 2: he resigned because he got a letter and he was 1543 01:11:50,920 --> 01:11:53,040 Speaker 2: basically in an employment situation. 1544 01:11:54,240 --> 01:11:57,479 Speaker 23: Well, what I've been really conscious of is that where 1545 01:11:57,520 --> 01:12:02,800 Speaker 23: there are legal issues related to employment matters, and where 1546 01:12:02,800 --> 01:12:07,479 Speaker 23: there are exit agreements in place between an employer and 1547 01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:10,759 Speaker 23: an exiting employee, as was the case in this matter, 1548 01:12:11,160 --> 01:12:15,439 Speaker 23: that anything that is said, any speculation, any inference, needs 1549 01:12:15,479 --> 01:12:18,800 Speaker 23: to be handled very carefully. And I thought, given I 1550 01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:21,880 Speaker 23: had not seen that letter, given I did not know 1551 01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:24,320 Speaker 23: and still have not seen that letter, had not seen 1552 01:12:24,360 --> 01:12:27,320 Speaker 23: the contents of it, for me to speculate about what 1553 01:12:27,400 --> 01:12:31,759 Speaker 23: had happened in any ensuing conversations that had occurred between 1554 01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:34,639 Speaker 23: the Reserve Bank Governor and the board, that it would 1555 01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:38,919 Speaker 23: be potentially jeopardizing the taxpayer for me to put myself 1556 01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:39,560 Speaker 23: in the middle of it. 1557 01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:41,160 Speaker 2: But were you bound by the NBA. 1558 01:12:42,640 --> 01:12:43,280 Speaker 21: No, I was not. 1559 01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:46,200 Speaker 2: So you're on our side. We've elected you right as 1560 01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:48,000 Speaker 2: a country, even if we didn't vote for you, guys, 1561 01:12:48,080 --> 01:12:50,080 Speaker 2: you're on our side, and so you should be standing 1562 01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:52,519 Speaker 2: there going hey, Neil's not telling you the truth. This 1563 01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:54,759 Speaker 2: isn't the truth. You should have been here collection. 1564 01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:57,639 Speaker 23: I am on your side, and that is why I had, 1565 01:12:58,360 --> 01:13:03,200 Speaker 23: on several occasions reiterated my view that the bank should 1566 01:13:03,280 --> 01:13:07,800 Speaker 23: seek to be as accountable, as transparent, as open as 1567 01:13:07,880 --> 01:13:13,479 Speaker 23: possible about this matter. Was why, which was why when 1568 01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:16,080 Speaker 23: the ombardsman made their ruling, Because the view that the 1569 01:13:16,120 --> 01:13:20,040 Speaker 23: bank had maintained throughout when my office, when the Treasury 1570 01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:22,280 Speaker 23: had engaged with them to suggest that the way they 1571 01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:26,240 Speaker 23: were responding to Official Information Act requests was inadequate, the 1572 01:13:26,320 --> 01:13:31,000 Speaker 23: Bank engaged their own legal advice and stress to us 1573 01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:33,559 Speaker 23: that what they were doing was what was required of 1574 01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:38,320 Speaker 23: them due to the employment arrangements in place now. Ultimately, 1575 01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:43,519 Speaker 23: ultimately the Ombardsman has viewed that the public interest in 1576 01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:46,599 Speaker 23: the matter was such that they should have waived that concern. 1577 01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:49,720 Speaker 23: And it's my view that the way this matter has 1578 01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:54,639 Speaker 23: been handled has not been of the standard I would expect, 1579 01:13:54,720 --> 01:13:58,400 Speaker 23: has become a distraction and has ultimately had a negative 1580 01:13:58,439 --> 01:14:00,000 Speaker 23: reputational effect for them. 1581 01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:00,280 Speaker 8: Bank. 1582 01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:02,120 Speaker 2: I just don't know what I think I asked you. 1583 01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:04,479 Speaker 2: I have asked you on a number of occasions what 1584 01:14:04,600 --> 01:14:06,479 Speaker 2: happened there, and I think you should have been upfront 1585 01:14:06,479 --> 01:14:08,080 Speaker 2: about it as well. And I think I think cutting 1586 01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:10,320 Speaker 2: Neil quickly at this stage saves your bacon bill only 1587 01:14:10,520 --> 01:14:12,320 Speaker 2: just day. But can you now be clear with us 1588 01:14:12,400 --> 01:14:14,680 Speaker 2: just on one thing. Adrian Or did not quit for 1589 01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:17,120 Speaker 2: personal reasons. He quit because of the tenor of the 1590 01:14:17,160 --> 01:14:19,360 Speaker 2: dialogue in those meetings, which led to him stepping down, 1591 01:14:19,439 --> 01:14:21,920 Speaker 2: Christian taking over him leading the office, leaving the office 1592 01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:24,360 Speaker 2: for five days and receiving a letter about his behavior. 1593 01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:25,439 Speaker 2: That is why he quit. 1594 01:14:26,320 --> 01:14:26,479 Speaker 18: Well. 1595 01:14:26,520 --> 01:14:29,519 Speaker 23: The timeline of events at the Reserve Bank, released this 1596 01:14:29,840 --> 01:14:33,360 Speaker 23: week at the request of the Offerson, makes clear that 1597 01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:38,000 Speaker 23: employment conversations between the Reserve Bank Board and Adrian Orr 1598 01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:42,479 Speaker 23: were precipitated in part by a letter from the Board 1599 01:14:42,600 --> 01:14:46,080 Speaker 23: to Adrian Or raising a number of concerns. All right, listen, 1600 01:14:46,240 --> 01:14:48,000 Speaker 23: but I have not seen that letter. 1601 01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:48,240 Speaker 3: Yep. 1602 01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:50,840 Speaker 23: I do not know the full contents of that letter. 1603 01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:55,200 Speaker 23: I do not also know what response Adrian Orr, either 1604 01:14:55,280 --> 01:14:57,720 Speaker 23: personally or via his lawyers, gave to it. And I'm 1605 01:14:57,880 --> 01:15:01,040 Speaker 23: very conscious not to defame anyone and to be careful 1606 01:15:01,080 --> 01:15:03,560 Speaker 23: about how I characterized that letter when I have not 1607 01:15:03,960 --> 01:15:04,320 Speaker 23: seen it. 1608 01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:06,840 Speaker 2: Okay, thank you, Nicola, and thank you for being so 1609 01:15:06,960 --> 01:15:09,839 Speaker 2: frank with us.

It's coming up. Nineteen past six. 1616 01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:28,680 Speaker 2: Brad Olson, Infametrics Principal Economists was just listening to my 1617 01:15:28,800 --> 01:15:32,080 Speaker 2: chat with Nikola and has popped onto the show for us. Hi, Brad, 1618 01:15:32,880 --> 01:15:36,519 Speaker 2: Good evening. It was the stuff that happened this week. Ay, 1619 01:15:36,760 --> 01:15:38,559 Speaker 2: it was that on Woodsman's report that put the nail 1620 01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:39,080 Speaker 2: in the coffin. 1621 01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:41,800 Speaker 22: I think that was certainly the end of it, but 1622 01:15:41,840 --> 01:15:43,840 Speaker 22: it certainly wasn't the start of the process. The trust 1623 01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:47,080 Speaker 22: and confidence in the Reserve Bank boards comments since the 1624 01:15:47,160 --> 01:15:50,760 Speaker 22: governor's resignation. Clearly anyone who was listening at the time 1625 01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:53,439 Speaker 22: and then reading what's happened since then has known that, 1626 01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:56,040 Speaker 22: you know, this wasn't just what we were told to 1627 01:15:56,080 --> 01:15:59,080 Speaker 22: start with. We were fed one story. The actual real 1628 01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:02,360 Speaker 22: story has now you just can't have that trust and 1629 01:16:02,439 --> 01:16:05,800 Speaker 22: credibility in the Reserve Bank board chair after all of that, 1630 01:16:05,960 --> 01:16:07,760 Speaker 22: and I think the Finance Minister has made it very 1631 01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:10,720 Speaker 22: clear that she didn't have confidence anymore, and so he 1632 01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:13,280 Speaker 22: either had to resign or he was going to get fired, 1633 01:16:13,479 --> 01:16:16,719 Speaker 22: and he took the much more appropriate position and left. 1634 01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:19,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was this is a crucial juncture, though, isn't it, Brad, 1635 01:16:19,479 --> 01:16:23,280 Speaker 2: Because the problem is had they appointed the new governor 1636 01:16:23,720 --> 01:16:26,639 Speaker 2: under this chair, it is very likely that that governor 1637 01:16:26,720 --> 01:16:30,040 Speaker 2: might have been tainted by Neil quickly well. 1638 01:16:30,280 --> 01:16:33,200 Speaker 22: And if not tainted in reality, certainly the perception and 1639 01:16:33,280 --> 01:16:36,360 Speaker 22: the risk around the messaging would have been compromised. And 1640 01:16:36,439 --> 01:16:38,840 Speaker 22: so I think the opportunity that the Reserve Bank has 1641 01:16:38,960 --> 01:16:42,040 Speaker 22: now both with the new incoming governor at some point 1642 01:16:42,400 --> 01:16:45,160 Speaker 22: and within now need to appoint a new board chair, 1643 01:16:45,240 --> 01:16:48,760 Speaker 22: you do have really a clean reset for the bank 1644 01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:52,320 Speaker 22: in terms of that relationship and the trust and credibility 1645 01:16:52,360 --> 01:16:54,920 Speaker 22: with the public. You can't have the New Zealanders who 1646 01:16:54,960 --> 01:16:56,840 Speaker 22: are paying an extreme amount of money to the Reserve 1647 01:16:56,920 --> 01:17:00,080 Speaker 22: Bank to do an incredibly important but unelected role with 1648 01:17:00,160 --> 01:17:02,120 Speaker 22: a lot of money on the line, and then give 1649 01:17:02,280 --> 01:17:04,679 Speaker 22: them one story and drip feed out the real story 1650 01:17:04,800 --> 01:17:06,960 Speaker 22: via a waas the next couple of months. That doesn't 1651 01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:10,280 Speaker 22: breed the level of I guess credibility that you need 1652 01:17:10,360 --> 01:17:12,840 Speaker 22: to have. So this did become, I think, just a 1653 01:17:12,960 --> 01:17:15,320 Speaker 22: continual death by a thousand cuts for the Reserve Bank. 1654 01:17:15,520 --> 01:17:18,439 Speaker 22: People were clearly worried. Every conversation I had with people 1655 01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:20,560 Speaker 22: in the business world went what's going on with the 1656 01:17:20,600 --> 01:17:22,920 Speaker 22: Reserve Bank? Why are we hearing one story and then 1657 01:17:23,040 --> 01:17:25,679 Speaker 22: getting the real stuff a couple of weeks later. That's 1658 01:17:25,760 --> 01:17:30,160 Speaker 22: not helpful for trust, confidence restored now con starting to 1659 01:17:30,200 --> 01:17:32,120 Speaker 22: get restored. I mean, look, I think the fact that 1660 01:17:32,160 --> 01:17:34,880 Speaker 22: the Finance Minister has taken such decisive action this week, 1661 01:17:35,360 --> 01:17:37,720 Speaker 22: she's clearly not standing for it. She'll now have the 1662 01:17:37,800 --> 01:17:41,000 Speaker 22: ability to appoint a new chair going forward. That plus 1663 01:17:41,120 --> 01:17:44,840 Speaker 22: the incoming governor, that really does give an ability for 1664 01:17:45,160 --> 01:17:47,679 Speaker 22: the Reserve Bank to reset at a governance level. Most 1665 01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:51,000 Speaker 22: importantly the work of the Monetary Policy Committee and other 1666 01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:54,280 Speaker 22: parts of the bank around setting interest rates, maintaining that 1667 01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:57,720 Speaker 22: operational independence that remains that hasn't changed. But I think 1668 01:17:57,760 --> 01:18:00,600 Speaker 22: all of these word sideways distractions that meant that we 1669 01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:02,800 Speaker 22: weren't looking at the really important figures as much we 1670 01:18:02,880 --> 01:18:04,880 Speaker 22: were trying to figure out what story was going on. 1671 01:18:05,240 --> 01:18:07,599 Speaker 22: So this is an important sort of I guess closing 1672 01:18:07,760 --> 01:18:09,720 Speaker 22: of the book and an ability to refocus. 1673 01:18:10,280 --> 01:18:12,320 Speaker 2: Brilliant stuff. Brad really appreciate it. Thank you so much, 1674 01:18:12,320 --> 01:18:16,200 Speaker 2: Brad Olson. INFA Metrics principal economists hither, I'm hanging around 1675 01:18:16,200 --> 01:18:18,120 Speaker 2: to hear what's happening at Port of Totong.

A oh that doesn't How good 1679 01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:28,680 Speaker 2: is it to just put COVID behind us like that's 1680 01:18:28,720 --> 01:18:30,920 Speaker 2: it now, isn't it. That's it. We got rid of 1681 01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:32,960 Speaker 2: the government that did the COVID and now we've got 1682 01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:34,560 Speaker 2: rid of the governor that did the COVID and the 1683 01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:36,800 Speaker 2: chair and we can we can draw line under it. 1684 01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:37,160 Speaker 6: Move on. 1685 01:18:37,320 --> 01:18:40,439 Speaker 2: Now we are officially post COVID six twenty two, croating 1686 01:18:40,479 --> 01:18:41,320 Speaker 2: the numbers. 1687 01:18:41,160 --> 01:18:42,360 Speaker 3: And getting the results. 1688 01:18:42,640 --> 01:18:45,439 Speaker 1: It's hither du for Sea Allen with the business hour 1689 01:18:45,840 --> 01:18:49,840 Speaker 1: and MAS for trusted home insurance solutions with newstalks. 1690 01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:52,880 Speaker 2: That'd be hither you've forgotten about Chris Sipkins. That's true, 1691 01:18:53,040 --> 01:18:55,479 Speaker 2: That is true. I mean when we get rid of 1692 01:18:55,600 --> 01:18:58,559 Speaker 2: Chippy out of labor, which I think is I'd put 1693 01:18:58,640 --> 01:19:00,800 Speaker 2: some money on that ahead of the next. But when 1694 01:19:00,840 --> 01:19:02,880 Speaker 2: we get rid of Chippy, then we can say we're 1695 01:19:02,880 --> 01:19:05,280 Speaker 2: officially post COVID.

Hello, but actually this is a 1740 01:21:04,800 --> 01:21:07,599 Speaker 2: really serious case for Cardi B. If she loses, she's 1741 01:21:07,640 --> 01:21:10,439 Speaker 2: going to have to pay her former security guard twenty 1742 01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:12,000 Speaker 2: four million dollars in damages. 1743 01:21:12,360 --> 01:21:13,160 Speaker 3: Sam didn't do that. 1744 01:21:13,520 --> 01:21:16,680 Speaker 2: Didn't do this justice. My favorite, my favorite quote from 1745 01:21:16,680 --> 01:21:18,880 Speaker 2: her was when she was asked whether she was disabled, 1746 01:21:19,439 --> 01:21:22,920 Speaker 2: and she was like, I was pregnant. I was basically disabled. 1747 01:21:23,240 --> 01:21:26,240 Speaker 2: And there's nothing that's been said that's truer than that statement, 1748 01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:29,439 Speaker 2: because all of a sudden, when you're pregnant, there's a 1749 01:21:29,479 --> 01:21:33,040 Speaker 2: lot of things you can't do anymore, like dry your 1750 01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:36,200 Speaker 2: toes and that's basically being disabled, isn't it? So anyway, 1751 01:21:36,200 --> 01:21:38,120 Speaker 2: Portatotong is with us.

It was 1793 01:23:46,600 --> 01:23:50,599 Speaker 24: even clear in the initial first mention of the schedule 1794 01:23:50,640 --> 01:23:54,120 Speaker 24: in October twenty twenty four, but somehow in the final 1795 01:23:54,240 --> 01:23:56,920 Speaker 24: drafting when the legislation was released in the Schedule two, 1796 01:23:58,240 --> 01:24:00,200 Speaker 24: the Mount Monginery warves was left out. 1797 01:24:00,800 --> 01:24:04,000 Speaker 2: Oh so we'd only refer to the sulfur point warves. Yes, 1798 01:24:04,520 --> 01:24:08,240 Speaker 2: so in that case, is it fair? What has happened? 1799 01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:11,839 Speaker 24: I look from a it's a legal process, and obviously 1800 01:24:11,960 --> 01:24:14,800 Speaker 24: it's it's that that's the decision that the High Court 1801 01:24:14,880 --> 01:24:16,000 Speaker 24: judge is made in this case. 1802 01:24:16,360 --> 01:24:16,840 Speaker 23: I think. 1803 01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:20,439 Speaker 24: I think as the judge that rightly points out it 1804 01:24:20,640 --> 01:24:23,719 Speaker 24: may have well been a drafting mistake in the legislative process, 1805 01:24:23,800 --> 01:24:26,160 Speaker 24: but I guess it is what it is, and we 1806 01:24:26,240 --> 01:24:27,840 Speaker 24: are where we are at the moment. But it is 1807 01:24:28,400 --> 01:24:32,519 Speaker 24: extremely frustrating, and look, simply from a port of total perspective, 1808 01:24:33,880 --> 01:24:35,760 Speaker 24: I'm not too sure what more we could have done. 1809 01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:38,400 Speaker 24: We were very clear with the description when we submitted 1810 01:24:38,479 --> 01:24:41,280 Speaker 24: the application and it's always been there. 1811 01:24:41,520 --> 01:24:43,439 Speaker 2: Okay, So what needs to happen to get this sorted? 1812 01:24:44,720 --> 01:24:44,840 Speaker 20: Oh? 1813 01:24:44,920 --> 01:24:47,919 Speaker 24: Look, I think we're having really good engagement with officials 1814 01:24:47,920 --> 01:24:51,000 Speaker 24: at the moment from m F and and we're certainly 1815 01:24:51,080 --> 01:24:53,840 Speaker 24: hopeful that that there will be a process where this 1816 01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:59,240 Speaker 24: can this mistake can be rectified and amended. Well, look, 1817 01:25:00,320 --> 01:25:04,120 Speaker 24: that'll be a decision for officials and for government to make. 1818 01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:09,360 Speaker 24: There is talk of fast track amendments being made over 1819 01:25:09,439 --> 01:25:11,400 Speaker 24: the coming months, whether it's picked up in that respect 1820 01:25:11,640 --> 01:25:14,200 Speaker 24: or whether it's picked up sooner. We would certainly like 1821 01:25:14,280 --> 01:25:15,960 Speaker 24: it to happen as soon as Are you. 1822 01:25:16,040 --> 01:25:18,280 Speaker 2: Trying to avoid having to start this process all over 1823 01:25:18,360 --> 01:25:19,559 Speaker 2: again and start the clock again? 1824 01:25:20,400 --> 01:25:20,920 Speaker 3: Absolutely? 1825 01:25:21,040 --> 01:25:24,320 Speaker 24: Yeah, absolutely, I mean it's been As I say, we're 1826 01:25:24,360 --> 01:25:27,600 Speaker 24: in an extremely difficult position in tot On where we 1827 01:25:27,680 --> 01:25:31,519 Speaker 24: are unfortunately having to turn away container services that is 1828 01:25:31,680 --> 01:25:35,840 Speaker 24: costing New Zealand's importers and exporters and ultimately New Zealanders 1829 01:25:36,680 --> 01:25:41,120 Speaker 24: as a result of freight ocean freight savings that could 1830 01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:42,839 Speaker 24: have been passed on to New Zealand consumers. 1831 01:25:42,960 --> 01:25:45,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, how much business are you turning away because of this? 1832 01:25:46,720 --> 01:25:49,240 Speaker 24: Look, just in the last couple of months, we've had 1833 01:25:49,280 --> 01:25:52,080 Speaker 24: three services that would have liked to have called tod 1834 01:25:52,120 --> 01:25:54,320 Speaker 24: On and we haven't been able to accommodate any of them. 1835 01:25:54,360 --> 01:25:58,200 Speaker 24: We simply cannot put any new vessels onto our birth 1836 01:25:59,040 --> 01:26:00,640 Speaker 24: given that we're constraints. 1837 01:26:01,280 --> 01:26:03,360 Speaker 2: Now what is the Ewie's actual problem here is that 1838 01:26:03,479 --> 01:26:05,400 Speaker 2: one of the wolves, a Mount Mongonui wolf gets if 1839 01:26:05,439 --> 01:26:07,519 Speaker 2: you extended, gets too close to the local mdaia. Is 1840 01:26:07,560 --> 01:26:08,080 Speaker 2: it the problem? 1841 01:26:09,479 --> 01:26:12,519 Speaker 24: Oh, look, there's a range of issues, and I mean 1842 01:26:12,600 --> 01:26:16,439 Speaker 24: it's not It's not one ewis. There's multiple parties that 1843 01:26:16,520 --> 01:26:19,160 Speaker 24: are involved in terms of some of the challenges around 1844 01:26:19,200 --> 01:26:22,760 Speaker 24: cultural mitigation. But you know, from our perspective, Look, it's 1845 01:26:22,800 --> 01:26:25,559 Speaker 24: something that has been contemplated and in the original port 1846 01:26:25,600 --> 01:26:28,560 Speaker 24: plans for over thirty years. So look, we'd certainly like 1847 01:26:28,680 --> 01:26:31,639 Speaker 24: to manage those mitigations to the best of we can, 1848 01:26:32,720 --> 01:26:34,839 Speaker 24: but ultimately we haven't been able to reach agreement. 1849 01:26:35,200 --> 01:26:37,599 Speaker 2: Look, let's say that you are able to get fast tracked. 1850 01:26:37,840 --> 01:26:40,400 Speaker 2: I realized that this was supposed to happen next week. 1851 01:26:40,439 --> 01:26:42,160 Speaker 2: But if you were able to get fast tracked soon, 1852 01:26:43,200 --> 01:26:45,080 Speaker 2: how quickly can you get this stuff up and built 1853 01:26:45,120 --> 01:26:45,519 Speaker 2: and done. 1854 01:26:47,240 --> 01:26:49,360 Speaker 24: If we were able to get a consent as soon 1855 01:26:49,400 --> 01:26:53,240 Speaker 24: as possible, it's still eighteen months to two year construction 1856 01:26:53,360 --> 01:26:56,040 Speaker 24: period before we actually have the birth built. 1857 01:26:56,960 --> 01:26:59,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, that's quite a long way. Now as to 1858 01:26:59,040 --> 01:27:01,040 Speaker 2: your actual results, which is what we should we should 1859 01:27:01,080 --> 01:27:02,800 Speaker 2: really be talking about, how did you manage such a 1860 01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:04,840 Speaker 2: such an awesome end result. 1861 01:27:07,200 --> 01:27:08,519 Speaker 3: Oh, look, it's it's been. 1862 01:27:08,720 --> 01:27:11,000 Speaker 24: It's been a great year in terms of trade for US, 1863 01:27:11,520 --> 01:27:15,360 Speaker 24: and really strong performance particularly from the agrisector and our 1864 01:27:15,720 --> 01:27:17,400 Speaker 24: agricultural primary sector. 1865 01:27:17,160 --> 01:27:19,799 Speaker 2: Imports kee We fruit and coal basically. 1866 01:27:20,760 --> 01:27:25,240 Speaker 24: Yeah, sorry I said imports. I meant primary sector exports. Yeah, yeah, 1867 01:27:26,760 --> 01:27:30,439 Speaker 24: Kiwi fruit dairy meat experts are really strong from an 1868 01:27:30,439 --> 01:27:33,439 Speaker 24: import perspective. We certainly have helped in terms of some 1869 01:27:33,560 --> 01:27:35,240 Speaker 24: of the energy challenges with import coal. 1870 01:27:35,960 --> 01:27:37,759 Speaker 2: And what do you think what does the next financial 1871 01:27:37,840 --> 01:27:38,320 Speaker 2: year look. 1872 01:27:38,240 --> 01:27:38,479 Speaker 6: Like to you? 1873 01:27:40,240 --> 01:27:42,960 Speaker 24: Look, I think we're cautiously optimistic for the for the 1874 01:27:43,040 --> 01:27:48,640 Speaker 24: next financial year. We've got pretty resilient exports in the 1875 01:27:48,720 --> 01:27:52,920 Speaker 24: current market at the moment, and there certainly certainly strong 1876 01:27:52,960 --> 01:27:56,880 Speaker 24: commodity prices in that respect. And look, we we're we're 1877 01:27:56,920 --> 01:27:59,479 Speaker 24: hoping that we'll see some improvement in the domestic economy 1878 01:27:59,520 --> 01:27:59,800 Speaker 24: as well. 1879 01:28:00,240 --> 01:28:02,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, Leonard here is hoping.

Later on, this is going to 1956 01:31:11,479 --> 01:31:13,800 Speaker 2: get me beers for least ten years from people. You 1957 01:31:13,840 --> 01:31:15,479 Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like I would have made that calculation, 1958 01:31:15,520 --> 01:31:17,880 Speaker 2: which I think is But anyway, as I say, Bob 1959 01:31:17,960 --> 01:31:19,560 Speaker 2: does sound like my three year old I get. I 1960 01:31:19,600 --> 01:31:21,680 Speaker 2: get Mama, don't say that, and I also get a 1961 01:31:21,720 --> 01:31:24,920 Speaker 2: lot of Mama don't sang, which I think is in 1962 01:31:25,040 --> 01:31:26,840 Speaker 2: the vein of Bob. Quarter two. 1963 01:31:27,400 --> 01:31:31,400 Speaker 1: Everything from SMS to the big corporates, the Business Hour 1964 01:31:31,680 --> 01:31:36,799 Speaker 1: with Hither Duplicy Ellen and Mes for Trusted Home Insurance Solutions, News. 1965 01:31:36,680 --> 01:31:37,240 Speaker 21: Talks be. 1966 01:31:38,880 --> 01:31:41,120 Speaker 2: Boy Math, remember girl math. We've got the boy Math. 1967 01:31:41,120 --> 01:31:43,000 Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you about that shortly twelve away 1968 01:31:43,040 --> 01:31:45,520 Speaker 2: from seven with US now as Gavn Gray, UK correspondent. 1969 01:31:45,560 --> 01:31:49,120 Speaker 2: Hello Gavin, Hi, So we're going to get a decision 1970 01:31:49,160 --> 01:31:51,880 Speaker 2: today on whether the court was right about the asylum hotel. 1971 01:31:51,960 --> 01:31:55,800 Speaker 25: Yeah, yeah, expecting that in about six hours time. And 1972 01:31:55,880 --> 01:31:58,439 Speaker 25: this is going to be really really crucial for the 1973 01:31:58,520 --> 01:32:02,080 Speaker 25: government and for how asylum seekers are treated here in 1974 01:32:02,240 --> 01:32:05,720 Speaker 25: the UK now at the moment while they are awaiting 1975 01:32:05,880 --> 01:32:10,519 Speaker 25: a decision on their asylum application. Some in fact, more 1976 01:32:10,560 --> 01:32:13,760 Speaker 25: than thirty thousand are currently being put up in hotels 1977 01:32:13,920 --> 01:32:17,479 Speaker 25: at taxpayers expense. I don't mean rubbishy old hotels. I 1978 01:32:17,560 --> 01:32:20,479 Speaker 25: mean some quite nice hotels as well. It is done 1979 01:32:20,520 --> 01:32:23,000 Speaker 25: at the cost daily cost of millions of pounds and 1980 01:32:23,120 --> 01:32:25,320 Speaker 25: plenty of people in this thing country. I think that 1981 01:32:25,439 --> 01:32:30,200 Speaker 25: is so wrong. So in Epping to the east of London, 1982 01:32:30,439 --> 01:32:32,960 Speaker 25: there has been a series of protests outside one of 1983 01:32:33,040 --> 01:32:36,840 Speaker 25: these hotels because a fourteen year old girl claims she 1984 01:32:37,240 --> 01:32:41,240 Speaker 25: was sexually assaulted by an Ethiopian man living at that 1985 01:32:41,479 --> 01:32:45,320 Speaker 25: hotel as an asylum seeker and he'd only just arrived 1986 01:32:45,360 --> 01:32:48,599 Speaker 25: in the country, and the protests got well pretty heated. 1987 01:32:48,640 --> 01:32:50,320 Speaker 25: There wasn't a lot of violence, but it was pretty 1988 01:32:50,400 --> 01:32:54,320 Speaker 25: fraught at times, and the local council managed to win 1989 01:32:54,520 --> 01:32:57,559 Speaker 25: in court an injunction saying it's got to be shut 1990 01:32:57,600 --> 01:33:00,640 Speaker 25: down to asylum seekers because it was against planning regulations 1991 01:33:00,840 --> 01:33:05,080 Speaker 25: and also could cause violence outside. They won, but the 1992 01:33:05,160 --> 01:33:08,000 Speaker 25: government has gone to appeal saying, well, hang on a minute, 1993 01:33:08,040 --> 01:33:10,880 Speaker 25: we are currently using couple of hundred hotels like this. 1994 01:33:11,320 --> 01:33:14,160 Speaker 25: If we have to turf them all out all asylum 1995 01:33:14,200 --> 01:33:16,680 Speaker 25: seekers have to leave the hotels, then this is going 1996 01:33:16,760 --> 01:33:19,920 Speaker 25: to put our policies into massive problems. And so that 1997 01:33:20,160 --> 01:33:22,639 Speaker 25: is what the Court of Appeal are going to decide 1998 01:33:22,680 --> 01:33:24,719 Speaker 25: on today. And I have to say there are lots 1999 01:33:24,720 --> 01:33:27,519 Speaker 25: of people waiting with bated breath to see what that 2000 01:33:27,840 --> 01:33:28,600 Speaker 25: judgment will be. 2001 01:33:28,760 --> 01:33:32,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I can imagine. So now that strike on the 2002 01:33:32,320 --> 01:33:36,000 Speaker 2: eu'sed delegation, the EU's delegation officer in Kiev, was that 2003 01:33:36,160 --> 01:33:37,759 Speaker 2: done deliberately or was that an accident? 2004 01:33:38,760 --> 01:33:43,840 Speaker 25: Yeah, we don't know. Actually, there are places around that 2005 01:33:44,520 --> 01:33:49,280 Speaker 25: particular development in Kiev which were being targeted, so it's 2006 01:33:49,400 --> 01:33:52,320 Speaker 25: possible that it might have been a drone that had 2007 01:33:52,400 --> 01:33:57,519 Speaker 25: gone wrong in an attack. Equally, of course, the EU 2008 01:33:57,720 --> 01:34:01,080 Speaker 25: and the UK been absolutely on the nail when it 2009 01:34:01,160 --> 01:34:04,280 Speaker 25: comes to imposing some pretty tough sanctions, So the idea 2010 01:34:04,360 --> 01:34:08,360 Speaker 25: that both offices were hit and hit badly is still 2011 01:34:08,560 --> 01:34:11,120 Speaker 25: up for grabs as to why that was and was 2012 01:34:11,160 --> 01:34:14,519 Speaker 25: it a mistake. Either way, both sides are just saying 2013 01:34:14,560 --> 01:34:17,799 Speaker 25: this is just now a sham the idea that Russia 2014 01:34:17,880 --> 01:34:20,880 Speaker 25: wants peace, that this is mocking the peace efforts that 2015 01:34:20,960 --> 01:34:24,439 Speaker 25: have been put there. Interestingly, absolutely no word that I've 2016 01:34:24,479 --> 01:34:27,280 Speaker 25: seen from a one mister Donald J. Trump about this 2017 01:34:27,400 --> 01:34:32,000 Speaker 25: attack and his response to it, but certainly the Russian 2018 01:34:32,080 --> 01:34:35,519 Speaker 25: Ambassador to the UK in London, Andre Kellen. He's been 2019 01:34:35,560 --> 01:34:38,479 Speaker 25: summoned into the Foreign Office, at which I dare say 2020 01:34:38,520 --> 01:34:40,719 Speaker 25: there was a bit of addressing down as best they could, 2021 01:34:41,360 --> 01:34:46,240 Speaker 25: and indeed a charged affair in Brussels summoned in response 2022 01:34:46,320 --> 01:34:50,560 Speaker 25: to talk to EU officials as well. So yeah, I 2023 01:34:50,680 --> 01:34:52,679 Speaker 25: think this is going to be something that the EU 2024 01:34:52,920 --> 01:34:54,880 Speaker 25: and the UK are going to use now to a 2025 01:34:55,200 --> 01:34:58,240 Speaker 25: nineteenth round of sanctions against Russia. 2026 01:34:58,439 --> 01:35:01,439 Speaker 3: The question is is any of it working? Do they care? 2027 01:35:02,080 --> 01:35:02,320 Speaker 21: Kevin? 2028 01:35:02,360 --> 01:35:03,679 Speaker 2: Are you going to go for any of these Guinness 2029 01:35:03,720 --> 01:35:04,360 Speaker 2: World Records? 2030 01:35:06,040 --> 01:35:08,400 Speaker 25: Well, Heather, I'll go halves with you or some of these, 2031 01:35:08,479 --> 01:35:10,960 Speaker 25: I think now, So what have we got? Well, it 2032 01:35:11,120 --> 01:35:14,439 Speaker 25: is the seventieth anniversary of the Guinness World Record titles. 2033 01:35:14,720 --> 01:35:18,439 Speaker 25: It was begun on the twenty seventh of August nineteen 2034 01:35:18,560 --> 01:35:22,160 Speaker 25: fifty five. So this week Everest decided that it would 2035 01:35:22,240 --> 01:35:24,960 Speaker 25: launch a couple of ideas for people who might still 2036 01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:27,520 Speaker 25: want to get into the record books. They are recommending 2037 01:35:28,000 --> 01:35:30,960 Speaker 25: the most whoopy cushions sat on in one minute, the 2038 01:35:31,080 --> 01:35:34,760 Speaker 25: fastest time to blow a stamp ten meters, the most 2039 01:35:34,880 --> 01:35:38,240 Speaker 25: high fives in thirty seconds. That sounds relatively painless that 2040 01:35:38,280 --> 01:35:40,880 Speaker 25: you and I could do, Heather. The fastest four hundred 2041 01:35:40,920 --> 01:35:44,160 Speaker 25: meters sackrace. I like that, but in another one that 2042 01:35:44,320 --> 01:35:47,360 Speaker 25: is for the more adventurous. The fastest time to ascend 2043 01:35:47,520 --> 01:35:50,800 Speaker 25: the height of Everest by bicycle. Now I don't think 2044 01:35:50,840 --> 01:35:52,960 Speaker 25: I mean going up Everest in a bicycle. I think 2045 01:35:52,960 --> 01:35:55,400 Speaker 25: it's the height of Everest Anyway. These things are all 2046 01:35:55,479 --> 01:35:58,360 Speaker 25: ones you can try. But in our midst we already 2047 01:35:58,520 --> 01:36:02,760 Speaker 25: have a Guinness World record holder amongst your team. No 2048 01:36:02,880 --> 01:36:04,839 Speaker 25: doubt she will reveal herself shortly. 2049 01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:08,880 Speaker 3: Oh yes, what was it for again? I did know this? 2050 01:36:10,040 --> 01:36:10,880 Speaker 2: Can you remember, Gavin? 2051 01:36:10,960 --> 01:36:15,360 Speaker 25: It's yes, it is for singing we're all in a 2052 01:36:15,439 --> 01:36:17,679 Speaker 25: yellow submarine while in a swimming pool. 2053 01:36:17,720 --> 01:36:19,880 Speaker 3: I think so weird. 2054 01:36:20,160 --> 01:36:23,000 Speaker 2: I mean I recalled that you all wish we held. 2055 01:36:23,120 --> 01:36:26,599 Speaker 2: Thank you, Gavin, appreciate it.
