The number to 43 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 2: text we spoke yesterday about southern Lebanon, and we spoke 44 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 2: to Stephen Hoadley, remember, and we talked about the fact 45 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 2: that it would be very hard for Israel to go 46 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 2: into Lebanon because they are basically armed up to the 47 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 2: eyeballs thanks to Iran, and when they last went with 48 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 2: a ground in cursion in two thousand and six, it 49 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 2: was basically a stalemate. And since then they have got 50 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 2: this as Hesbilla far more weaponry than they had back then, 51 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 2: including a new long range weapon from Iran. So to 52 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 2: wake up this morning and hear the news that Israel 53 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 2: is preparing for a ground offense of a possible entry 54 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 2: into Lebanon is quite a development. So I'm just going 55 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 2: to read you this is from Israel's the Chief of 56 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 2: the General Staff, Israel's Defense Force. He says that the 57 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 2: strikes that have been taking place by the jets are 58 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 2: to prepare for a possible ground entry, and this has 59 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 2: got his quote that he's given to some troops to 60 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 2: achieve that we're preparing the process for a maneuver, which 61 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 2: means your military boots, your maneuvering boots into enemy territory, 62 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 2: into villages that Habilla has prepared as a large military 63 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 2: outpost with underground infrastructure, staging points and launch pads into 64 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 2: our territory and carry out attacks on Israeli's civilians. He says, 65 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 2: your entry into these areas would be with force, which 66 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 2: of course it would have to be. So that is 67 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 2: quite alarming, and you can imagine all around the world, 68 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 2: particularly in New York overnight last night, concern Kia Stamer 69 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 2: from the UK is there. He said he's worried about it. 70 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 2: He said that he's talking to his colleagues at the 71 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 2: UN General Assembly. Swinston Peters is there. Joe Biden has 72 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 2: done an interview with the ABC and said that all 73 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 2: out war is possible in the Middle East. I mean, 74 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 2: it always is, isn't it. But he does temper that 75 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 2: by saying that there is also a possibility of a settlement, 76 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 2: so we'll have to wait and see. One of his 77 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 2: advisors has said in the last couple of hours, we 78 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 2: are working on it in real time in New York 79 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 2: and in capitals around the world. So hopefully there is 80 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 2: some resolution to this sometime soon. Though if you look 81 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 2: at Gaza, you don't hold your breath. And bread Rich 82 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 2: just gone ten minutes after five.

Back 84 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 2: in September we asked them how many Kiwis are in 85 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 2: the Middle East. Lebanon there with thirty sorry, Elebanon there 86 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 2: with twenty nine, Israel one hundred Iran five. This is 87 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 2: Kiwis in the sort of hot spots in the thick 88 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 2: of it now, Lebanon thirty, Israel one hundred and one 89 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 2: and Iron twenty. So there are more Kiwis there now. 90 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 2: I don't know. I can't explain that myself, other than 91 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 2: maybe they were on holiday when we first asked. Just 92 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 2: gone eleven after five, you're on news Talk zeb. 93 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 3: The first Word on the News of the Day early 94 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 3: edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's furniture 95 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 3: beds and a playing store. 96 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 2: News TALKSZBB, just gone five point thirteen. Interesting. So Keir Starmer, 97 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 2: the British Prime Minister. He's now in New York, but 98 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 2: he was in Liverpool. We're going to chat to the 99 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 2: our labor leader, Chris Hipkins from there just before six 100 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 2: this morning. But they are sending doctors to areas which 101 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 2: have the highest number of people who are out of 102 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 2: work because of illness, so they reckon if you send 103 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 2: the doctors to the places that have the need, you 104 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 2: might get more people off the benefit. They're also looking 105 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 2: well keeping actually a Tory policy which is if you 106 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 2: have more than two kids you don't get any further 107 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 2: beneficiary allowances. Keeping that policy. This is a labor government 108 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 2: in power at the moment, so we'll ask Chippy about 109 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 2: those things. Fourteen after five Ryan Bridge, obesity rates in 110 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 2: England have stabilized for the first time in two decades. 111 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 2: The number of children who are overweight has fallen to 112 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 2: the lowest level since two thousand, while obesity rates and 113 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 2: adults have remained stable for the past five years. It's 114 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 2: raised the issue back here as New Zealand still has 115 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 2: the third highest adult obesity rate in the world, with 116 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 2: one in three adult New Zealanders over fifteen years classified 117 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 2: as obese and one in ten children. It's just raised 118 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 2: the issue here of what do we do about it. 119 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 2: Boyd Swinburne is the Professor of Population Nutrition ucin University. Boyd, 120 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 2: good morning, good morning, thanks for being with me. What 121 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 2: is the UK doing differently? 122 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 5: Well, it's interesting, you know the UK have had nine 123 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 5: years of Tory government with quite a lot of chaos 124 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 5: with exit and all those prime ministers and so on. 125 00:06:54,520 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 5: Despite that, they have introduced the number of programs, policies 126 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 5: and things that do help to reduce childhood obestie. Whether 127 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 5: that all adds up to to this flattening off and 128 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 5: perhaps decline as you say, But you know they've put 129 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 5: a sugary drinks tax on several years ago. They've had 130 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 5: the food in schools and improving the quality of that. 131 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 5: They have just now introduced bands on junk food marketing 132 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 5: to kids, you know, one of the first in the world. 133 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 5: So you know, they have been actually quite progressive in 134 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,119 Speaker 5: their in their actions. Not the band on junk food 135 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 5: marketing will have caused this change in prevalence of Obesian kids, 136 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 5: but you know they have been remarkably progressive throughout this 137 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 5: Tory government. 138 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 2: What do you think is going to happen to us? 139 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 2: Are we're just going to keep getting fatter? Like when 140 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 2: when do we reach peg fat? Or is it? 141 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 5: Well, that's that's a good question. We're we're slowly trickling up. 142 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 5: This was a bit of a jump up during COVID 143 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 5: and then it's then a drop immediately after that, but 144 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 5: we're going to keep bubbling up until we do something 145 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 5: about it. And this has changes in the in the environment. 146 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 5: I mean, we know what to do. Really, We've been 147 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 5: told by WHO and expert committees and panels all over 148 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 5: the world about the priority policies to implement, but New 149 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 5: Zealand just has not taken any of those steps. 150 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 2: Do you think we're getting smarter about knowing what we're 151 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 2: putting in our mouths? Apparently I've read something the other 152 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 2: day about just how much ultra processed food is in 153 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 2: our supermarket. I mean we know this by now, We 154 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 2: know that coke's bad, we know all this stuff. Surely. 155 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,559 Speaker 5: Yeah. I don't think that the fall in childhood obesity 156 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 5: in the UK is because they've found some the kids 157 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 5: have found some willpower or something like that, because there 158 00:08:55,640 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 5: is a tendency to blame obesity on the individual. But 159 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 5: these fluctuations in these global patterns, they're caused by changes 160 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 5: in the environment and particularly around ultra processed foods. 161 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 2: We can still have a choice, can't we. I mean, 162 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 2: we can be surrounded by meth or booze and not 163 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 2: do it. 164 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,959 Speaker 5: Well, we can, but what we're surrounded by makes it 165 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 5: easier or harder, and we're in creatures of our environment. 166 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 5: We respond to and you know, at the moment, we 167 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 5: don't even know what proportion of our diets are ultra 168 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 5: process food, but government judging by other countries is probably 169 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 5: about fifty percent, you know. So these are the foods 170 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 5: that have driven up obesity around the world. So nobody's saying, Okay, 171 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,959 Speaker 5: we're suddenly going to ban all ultra process food's nay, 172 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 5: but let's get it down from fifty percent. 173 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 2: Yeah. It's not a great number, is it. Professor. I 174 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 2: have to leave it there. Thank you very much for 175 00:09:55,800 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 2: your time this morning, Professor Boyd Swinman. Ultra process doesn't 176 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 2: sound good. It has just gone eighteen minutes after five 177 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 2: News Talks c B would love your views on this one. 178 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 2: Nine two ninety two is the number. 179 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 3: To text get ahead of the headlines. Ryan Bridge you 180 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 3: for twenty twenty four on early edition with Smith City, 181 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,839 Speaker 3: New Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store. 182 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 2: News talks'd be five twenty Good morning, Welcome to News Talks, 183 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 2: he'd be. China has launched an intercontinental ballistic missile and ICBM, 184 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 2: and normally they do this within their own waters for 185 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 2: the first time since the nineteen eighties, they have fired 186 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 2: this thing into international waters. Despite that this is this 187 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 2: is a funny part. Despite that, they say the test 188 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 2: was both routine and annual, and one of the commentators 189 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,319 Speaker 2: has said that is very odd, given that they don't 190 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 2: do this sort of thing either routinely or annually. So 191 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 2: something to watch perhaps. Yeah, first time since the nineteen 192 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,719 Speaker 2: eighties that they have fired this into international waters. And 193 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 2: they also said that they warned their neighbors in Japan, 194 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 2: says no one told us. Twenty one after five Infrastructure 195 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 2: Commission's got to report out this morning. It says we're 196 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 2: about in the right place at the moment, or at 197 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,959 Speaker 2: least on par with other OECD countries in terms of 198 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 2: our infrastructure, which might surprise some people. However, they do 199 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,559 Speaker 2: caution that future investment is needed. It's looked at population 200 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 2: changes and what we could need with a changing climate 201 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 2: and natural hazards to secure our infrastructure long term. Nick 202 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 2: Leggett is Infrastructure New Zealand's chief executive. He's with us 203 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 2: this morning. Hey, Nick, Hello, Ryan, good to have you 204 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 2: on the show again. That this is interesting that they're 205 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 2: saying we're basically on par and well compared to the 206 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 2: media and OECD country we have a typical amount of 207 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 2: physical infrastructure per capita. Is that surprising. 208 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 6: It's not surprising because we know that on the per 209 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 6: capita we spend around about what other OECD nation spends. 210 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 6: But it's not what or how much we spend, it's 211 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 6: the quality of the speed and what we get for 212 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 6: it that is our problem. We're in the bottom four 213 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 6: in terms of the efficiency we get from our infrastructure 214 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 6: and the way we manage our assets. That's poor as well. 215 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 6: And I think Key Wes can probably feel that they 216 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 6: know we've got big challenges and water. They know that 217 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 6: our roading and rail networks have not been well maintained, 218 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 6: and that's really the key. We have a bit of 219 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 6: a set and forget attitude in this country where it 220 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 6: comes to infrastructure. We build stuff, but we don't maintain it, 221 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,559 Speaker 6: and a big chunk of what we call our infrastructure 222 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 6: deficit is actually that failure to invest in those assets 223 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 6: we've already got. The other thing Ryan about this is, 224 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 6: you know, it does show us that there are challenges 225 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 6: long term and that actually as a country we're pretty 226 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 6: low in terms of where we rank on the scale 227 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 6: of infrastructure overall. Now, of course these are different measures. 228 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 6: There's some good stuff in here. I think the most 229 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 6: important thing is that it says that long term, we've 230 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 6: got to be thinking about the factors are going to 231 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 6: lands what sort of country we become and infrastructure New 232 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 6: Zealand's viewers. New Zealand needs a vision. It needs to 233 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 6: know what kind of country it aspires to be. That is, 234 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 6: how many people we're going to have, where they're going 235 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 6: to live. What's the sort of competitive advantage that we 236 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 6: need in our economy that we're going to be able 237 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 6: to sell things the rest of the world effectively, We're 238 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 6: going to be competitive, We're going to be really productive. Now, 239 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 6: infrastructure is the means to getting there, but you've got 240 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,959 Speaker 6: to have a really clear, united by partisan picture, as 241 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 6: other successful small countries have done. 242 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 2: And we know we know that's going to be But 243 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 2: there is some hope right the National Infrastructure Agency is 244 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 2: going to kick off what December. Hopefully that will bring 245 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 2: everyone around the table and will be come by. Just 246 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 2: one quick question for you. Our birth rate's going down. 247 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,680 Speaker 2: Immigration will drive our population increase. Do we need a 248 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 2: bipart as an immigration plan? So that we have certainty 249 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 2: over the flow. 250 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 6: Well, I think that flow and certainty are two very 251 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 6: good points where it comes to infrastructure as well. You've 252 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 6: got to know how where your population's going, right, because 253 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 6: you need to be able to estimate and plan and build. 254 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 6: The reason we don't get that efficiency out of our spend. 255 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 6: You know, we're in the bottom four countries and the 256 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 6: OECD is because the pipeline keeps getting cut when there's 257 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 6: a change of government, so the industry scales up because 258 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 6: they've got some certainty for the next couple of years, 259 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 6: and the new government will come in and change the priorities. 260 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 6: What we've got to do is get consistency. We're a 261 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 6: small country and a small market. When you stop work, 262 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 6: you take capacity out of the market. People go elsewhere, 263 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 6: and it takes money and time to build that back up. 264 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 6: What bipartisanship will get us as a nation is a 265 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 6: bit more security and a bit more forward planning, so 266 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 6: the pipeline can be a bit more even, and I 267 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 6: think that's what the Infrastructure Commission is building towards. What 268 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 6: we've got to do is demand that of both of 269 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 6: our major political parties, because we shouldn't politicize stuff that 270 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 6: really isn't part political. This is about good infrastructure that 271 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 6: keeps U zeal On moving, keeps usial on healthy and safe. 272 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 2: Nick, thanks so much for your time this morning. Nick Leggett, 273 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 2: who is with US Infrastructure New Zealand Chief Executive, Twenty 274 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 2: five minutes off to five News Talks HEB the early. 275 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 3: Edition full the Show podcast on Ihart Radio powered by 276 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 3: News TALKSB. 277 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 2: Welcome back News Talks HEB twenty seven minutes after five. 278 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 2: Great to have your company this morning. Nine two nine 279 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 2: two is the number to text. I'll get to some 280 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 2: of those in just a second. Have you noticed what's 281 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 2: with all the door knocking that's going on at the 282 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 2: front door at the moment. Has anyone else been getting this? 283 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 2: I think it must be because it's summer and you know, 284 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 2: it's lighter later, et cetera. A lot of charities coming. 285 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 2: Every man and his dog seems to be coming to 286 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 2: the front door and knocking at the moment, and they 287 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 2: seem to be They're not from the charities that they're 288 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 2: there to represent. I think they're contracted. They're a separate 289 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 2: company that's contracted to do the door knocking and try 290 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 2: and collect the donations. Last night we had someone from 291 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 2: Hello Fresh. I was like, goodbye, Sorry, it's dinner time. 292 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 2: Has anyone else noticed this? Nine two nine two is 293 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 2: a number to text. I find it a little intrusive. 294 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 2: I find it annoying, and it's probably my fault because 295 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 2: you can not that I should say this, But you 296 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 2: can actually get to my front door without you know, 297 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 2: going through much in the way of security, and actually 298 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 2: you can see straight into the living room once you 299 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 2: get to the front door. So maybe that's on me. 300 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 2: Maybe I need to be behind a big gate like 301 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 2: everybody else with an intercom, you know, But I would 302 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 2: like to think you could have a you know, a 303 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 2: pretty open house and not be disturbed. Maybe I need 304 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 2: like a no circular sign for your letterbox. Maybe I 305 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 2: need a no door knocking sign so that people don't 306 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 2: come by. But I just wanted has anyone else noticed 307 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 2: this going on at your place?

Donald Trump's campaign says they are real and 445 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 12: specific threats. They are different from the attempts on his 446 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 12: life earlier this year. In recent weeks in Pennsylvania and 447 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 12: in Florida, Donald Trump posted about this, as he always 448 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 12: does Ryan on social media.

Mitch McCann, our US 455 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 2: correspondent from the UN in New York this morning, just 456 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 2: gone quarter. 457 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 3: To six, Bryan Bridge. 458 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 2: Chris Tippins is in Liverpool for the UK Labor Party conference. 459 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 2: It comes as the party back in New Zealand looks 460 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 2: at a wealth tax or a capital gains tax, or 461 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,880 Speaker 2: potentially both, this while their British count's parts are being 462 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 2: absolutely hammered in the polls at the moment over a 463 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 2: series of what you could call gaffs and also spending scandals. 464 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 2: Chris is with us this morning, Chris, what have you 465 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,360 Speaker 2: learned over there? His starma is down in the polls, 466 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 2: he's cutting into energy payments. Things aren't looking good for them. 467 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 10: Oh, and there's interesting challenges here that are similar to 468 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,239 Speaker 10: New Zealand, and there's challenges that are different. I guess so, 469 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 10: I mean the similarities. Cost of living crisis is clearly 470 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 10: still a big issue here, as it is still a 471 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 10: big issue in New Zealand. Issues around tackling climate change 472 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 10: and sustainability, and the kind of the bigger question of 473 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 10: how do you grow an economy that on a per 474 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 10: capita basis has been stagnant? You know, these are similar 475 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,199 Speaker 10: issues and similar challenges that we face in New Zealand. 476 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 2: Did you bond over your mutual drop in the polls? 477 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 10: Look at early days with them. Yet they have the 478 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 10: luxury of a five year term, so he doesn't have 479 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 10: to go back to the polls for another five years. 480 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 10: So I think at this point, you know, they're just 481 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 10: focused on doing the early things they need to do 482 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 10: in government. 483 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 2: You have to go back to the poles in twenty 484 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 2: twenty six. Will you be the leader? 485 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 5: Absolutely? 486 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 2: You want to be. You want the job absolutely. 487 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 10: And coming away here and looking at you know, the 488 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,959 Speaker 10: some talking to people about ideas about how we can 489 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 10: actually move New Zealand forward, it's actually left me even 490 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 10: more energized. I think there are some big challenges in 491 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 10: New Zealand. They're going to require some fresh thinking and 492 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 10: some new ideas. I'm taking the time to make sure 493 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 10: we generate those new ideas that are twenty twenty six 494 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 10: election is not going to be a rerun of the 495 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,159 Speaker 10: twenty twenty three election, and you know, we've got to 496 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:13,199 Speaker 10: be focused on the future. 497 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 2: Let's talk about a couple of his ideas and see 498 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 2: whether you're into them or not. We can quick fire these. 499 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 2: He wants long term sickness beneficiaries to start looking for work. 500 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 2: Good idea, bad idea. 501 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 10: Oh look, I don't want to get into discussing UK politics. 502 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 10: So if you want to ask me about things in 503 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,880 Speaker 10: the New Zealand context, in New Zealand policy, all. 504 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 2: Right about that in New Zealand. 505 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 5: In New Zealand, I don't want to provide a commentary. 506 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 2: I don't want to provide no fair enough in New Zealand. 507 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 2: In New Zealand, would you be on board with long 508 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 2: term sickness beneficiaries having to look for work? 509 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 10: No. I think we've got a system in place at 510 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 10: the moment that sets out clear expectations around long term 511 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 10: sickness beneficiaries, and then I'm quite comfortable with that. 512 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 2: They have a limit there. And again this is a 513 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,880 Speaker 2: New Zealand question. Would we limit a child benefit allowance 514 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 2: to two kids max? 515 00:26:59,200 --> 00:26:59,400 Speaker 3: No? 516 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 10: Ill and support that. 517 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 2: Would you reduce the winter energy payment to help pay 518 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 2: the bills, the government's bills? 519 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 5: No? 520 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 10: I mean there's a different issue over here, in the 521 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 10: sense that it was a universal entitlement over here, whereas 522 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:11,680 Speaker 10: it's not a New Zealand. 523 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 2: Let's talk about the elephant in the room, the capital 524 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 2: gains tax, the wealth tax. A lot of news in 525 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 2: New Zealand. About that, Antonia, the head of the a 526 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,479 Speaker 2: Z Bank, has said that she thinks we need some 527 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 2: sort of capital gains tax. Can you just clarify for people? 528 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 2: Would that cover the family home? If you're a family 529 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,880 Speaker 2: who's saved up your mortgage free, you've got a rental property, 530 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 2: would you ever be hit by either of these? 531 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 10: Well, I wouldn't be happy with taxing a family home 532 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 10: and gains on a family home, And the other questions 533 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 10: really are hypothetical because you know, we haven't committed to 534 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 10: a particular form of capital gains taxation. But I think 535 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 10: what we've got to acknowledge is at the moment, the 536 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 10: New Zealand tax system is loaded against working people. Working 537 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 10: people end up paying more tax because we're not kept 538 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:03,120 Speaker 10: taxing other forms of income. And as our other comparable 539 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 10: countries do. There's capital gain sex here and the UK 540 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 10: is capital gain stacks in Australia and so many other 541 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 10: countries that there isn't in New Zealand. And what does 542 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 10: that mean? It means that salary and wagering is the 543 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,679 Speaker 10: people who work hard every day for a living end 544 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,400 Speaker 10: up paying a disproportionate share of the tax because we're 545 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 10: not taxing other forms of income. 546 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,679 Speaker 2: So this is not about solving the housing crisis. For you, 547 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 2: a capital gains tax, it's about fairness. 548 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 5: It's both of it. 549 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,360 Speaker 10: It's about both things. I mean, I think we do have. 550 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 2: The Tax Working Group. The Tax Working Group has said 551 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,919 Speaker 2: that it wouldn't solve the housing housing crisis, it wouldn't 552 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 2: help to bring prices down. 553 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 10: Well, I think you've got to look at that. There's 554 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 10: a range of things that have led to people into 555 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 10: New Zealanders putting money into the property market instead of 556 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 10: other forms of productive investment. Taxation is only one of 557 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 10: the things that you've got to look at there. You've 558 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 10: got to look at a range of other things as well. 559 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 10: I certainly don't think, you know, taxing income from capital, 560 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 10: you know, capital gains on property, for example, would hurt 561 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 10: the housing crisis. I think it's likely to be helpful, 562 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 10: but it's not going to be a solution. There's no 563 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 10: one thing that's going to solve the housing crisis in 564 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 10: New Zealand. That's going to require a range of different things. 565 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 2: In the UK, they've got a capital gains tax, they've 566 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 2: got an inheritance tax. Look at the state of their NHS. 567 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 2: Isn't your bigger problem convincing keywis that if you do 568 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 2: do a tax, we will actually get some benefit from it. 569 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 2: Oh we yep. 570 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 10: But we've got to make sure that New Zealanders see 571 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 10: the benefit of any changes that we would make to 572 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 10: the tech system. They've got to see what's in it 573 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 10: for them. 574 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 2: Stats n Z put out their General Social Survey yesterday. 575 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 2: This is the twenty twenty three So this is when 576 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 2: you guys were in office twenty twenty one to twenty 577 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 2: twenty three. Trust and the health system down, education down, 578 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 2: Parliament down, police down, courts down, people's sense of belonging down. 579 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 2: Do you take some responsibility for those numbers? 580 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 10: Of course, but we've got to recognize that those numbers 581 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 10: were on were record high. It's just three years ago, 582 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 10: during the COVID nineteen pandemic, we saw record levels of 583 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 10: trust and conf it's in government, and now they're coming 584 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 10: back down to more like the levels that they were 585 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 10: before the pandemic. 586 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 2: So you're saying that this is actually a good thing 587 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 2: or a normal thing. 588 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 10: No, not at all. I'd love to see those numbers 589 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 10: stay higher. I think we've actually got to work really 590 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 10: hard to make sure that our democratic institutions are ones 591 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 10: that inspire confidence and trust from the New Zealand public. 592 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 10: I think they are taking a bit of a knock 593 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 10: in recent years. I think we do need to take that, 594 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 10: you know seriously as politicians, we need to make sure 595 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 10: that we're making the changes to the way our democratic 596 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 10: system operates so that we're increasing public trust and confidence. 597 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 2: Is anyone doing the numbers against you and the Labor 598 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 2: Party Tivy? 599 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 10: Absolutely not, absolutely not that I'm absolutely confident that I 600 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 10: have the full support of the Labor team. 601 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 2: Hey, the nuclear free moment, obviously it's been well for 602 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 2: five six years now since just Cindra Durn's proclamation. We've 603 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 2: now had in the last twenty four hours Todd Energy 604 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 2: come out and join the likes of method X and 605 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 2: OG and Windstone and they are making cuts at Toddy Energy, 606 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 2: which is hugely concerning. Do you concede that what you 607 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 2: did with the offshore oil and gas band has had 608 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 2: an impact on investment here and it is costing jobs, 609 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 2: good regional union jobs. 610 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 10: No, absolutely not to totally reject that rhyme and the 611 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 10: facts actually say otherwise. I mean that's spin from the 612 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 10: oil and gas industry. For the reality here is we 613 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 10: haven't had a significant oil and gas bye in New Zealands. 614 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 10: It's two thousand and one. The Oil and Guess Band's 615 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 10: only been in place for the last five years. So 616 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 10: if there was a ready supply of oil and gas there, 617 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 10: they would have found it by now. 618 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 2: Well, we don't know that, do we. I mean, I mean, 619 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 2: you don't know what you don't know. And the fact 620 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 2: is if you ban it, you'll never know. 621 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 10: Well, there's still a lot of offshore oil and guess 622 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 10: exploration permits that are active now. They could be out 623 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 10: there exploring now, even because we didn't cancel any of 624 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 10: the permits that were in place when the band was 625 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 10: put in place. They chose not to do that. 626 00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 2: So you're saying that when method X, when these companies 627 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 2: put out press releases and they've sent me statements partly 628 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 2: blaming your ban on oil offshore oil and gas exploration 629 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 2: for a dampening and investment, they're making it up. 630 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 10: It's always easier to blame that. It's always easier to 631 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 10: blame the government when companies have to make some difficult decisions. 632 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,959 Speaker 10: But the reality is New Zealand's future should be focused 633 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 10: on renewable energy, it's cheaper. It's going to be better 634 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 10: for New Zealand business because of New Zealand businesses paying 635 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 10: lower power prices, they're going to be more competitive. Fossil 636 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 10: fuels are more expensive than renewable fields. The thing that 637 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 10: causes our electricity prices to go up is not the 638 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 10: cost of renewable energy, it's the cost of fossil fuels. 639 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 2: Just finally, you might have seen I mean, I'm sure 640 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 2: you've been keeping abreast of politics here, but Chris Luxeen 641 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 2: has had a Oh he's had a few I don't 642 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 2: want to say tanties, but he's had a few run 643 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 2: ins with the media. What do you make of his 644 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 2: performance this week? 645 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 10: Oh you know. I mean, I think Christoph Luxem said 646 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,719 Speaker 10: that he's setting all these targets so that the public 647 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 10: can hold him accountable for the governments before Womans, and 648 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 10: now that the targets are actually showing that the government's 649 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 10: performance is getting worse, his say, we'll forget about the targets, 650 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 10: stop questioning me on them.
