This 19 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 3: is going to be the start of the handover. Surely 20 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 3: Mlani will be there measuring up the cursions. Get some 21 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 3: new drapes in there. Also big day Foo Senate Republicans 22 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 3: today voting on the new leader. Mitch McConnell stepping down 23 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 3: from January. 24 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 4: There is stiff competition between Texas Senator John Cornyn John Thune, 25 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 4: who is the Republican whip currently, and also Florida Senator 26 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 4: Rick Scott, who most notably has picked up support from 27 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 4: a number of Trump allies, including Eloton Musk. 28 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 3: It certainly has after two years of cooling and staying stateside. 29 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 3: Right now, US inflation has ticked up ever so slightly 30 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 3: in October, just zero point two percent for the month, 31 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 3: the annual rate two point six percent. That's compared to 32 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 3: two point four for September. Core inflation, which excludes fuel 33 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 3: and food prices, remains steady at three point three percent. Now. 34 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 3: This is in line largely with economist expectations and it 35 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 3: shouldn't affect the next FED rate cut. New Zealand food 36 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 3: price inflation numbers will be out later this morning. That 37 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 3: volcano and Indonesia still erupting, Jetstar Quantus flights still canceled 38 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 3: entering its tenth day. 39 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 5: The problem is these type volcanos can be very complex, 40 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 5: they can be unpredictable, and their eruptive activity is typically 41 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 5: this intermittent style of significant explosion every few days or 42 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 5: so you've. 43 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 3: Got a field for Valencia. Thousands of people have been 44 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 3: evacuated from southern Spain as another red severe weather warning 45 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 3: has been issued, so that includes parts of Valencia. They 46 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 3: are again under Orange weather warnings there. Two hundred and 47 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 3: twenty people have died in recent severe weather events and 48 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,679 Speaker 3: flash flooding in the country. 49 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 2: The news you need this morning and the in depth 50 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 2: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Swift City, New 51 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 2: Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store. 52 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 3: News Talk said, be a couple of little things to 53 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 3: kick us off this morning. One was the hiccor yesterday. 54 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 3: You would have seen, I'm sure the coverage on the 55 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 3: news last night. How can we not know how many 56 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 3: people cross the Harbor Bridge? You know, we've got police 57 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 3: there who have the little tickers in their hand. Are 58 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 3: they not counting? They said they were so they gave 59 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 3: us a number of five thousand. The organizers gave us 60 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 3: a number of twenty five thousand. I mean these are 61 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 3: vastly different numbers, aren't they. Twenty five thousand. Labour gave 62 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 3: us a number of ten thousand. Have listened to this 63 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 3: reporter on one news. 64 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 6: The hikoy was so big that it needed to be staggered, 65 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,519 Speaker 6: so several hundred people would be grouped and would cross 66 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 6: the bridge at different times. I was there for the 67 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 6: duration of the morning and saw waves and waves over 68 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 6: seven waves. 69 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 3: I counted, so two hundred and fifty per waves seven waves, 70 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 3: that's by my calculation, seventeen hundred and fifty people. So 71 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 3: now we have four numbers. We have seventeen hundred and fifty, 72 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 3: we have five thousand, we have twenty five thousand, and 73 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 3: we have ten thousand. Who do we believe honestly, nine 74 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 3: two ninety two is the number to two? I suppose 75 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 3: it doesn't really matter. It does matter how big this 76 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 3: protest is. It does because remember the big heikoy for 77 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 3: Foreshaw and Seabd. I went back and had a look. 78 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 3: They reckon there was about ten thousand protesters, swelling to 79 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 3: fifteen thousand by the time it got to Parliament. And 80 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 3: what to party my will want to say is that 81 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 3: this protest in particular is the biggest that New Zealand 82 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 3: has ever seen. And so that's one they're giving us 83 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 3: numbers like twenty five thousand, which are patiently false. I mean, 84 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 3: that's misinformation, isn't that If you look at the reporter, 85 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 3: the police and even labor to Passy Valdi's number is 86 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 3: way out the gate, So I don't know. It does matter, 87 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 3: it does matter, But who do you believe? I guess 88 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 3: ten minutes after five you're on News Talk, sat. 89 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 2: By and Bread Rich. 90 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 3: Also this morning Everyday Rewards. Does anyone use Everyday Rewards? 91 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 3: I've never heard of it. Apparently it's relatively new. You 92 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 3: can buy things like trumpet, woolworst BP, pet stock, milk 93 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 3: run and vine online. I need to get out more, obviously, 94 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 3: but I have no idea what it is. Anyway, there's 95 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 3: great news this morning. If you do use it. You 96 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 3: can now get airpoints, dollars and Quantus points from the 97 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 3: second of December, just in time for Christmas. Honestly, who 98 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 3: spends the time? Well, first of all, you're going to 99 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 3: take the card with you and who remember is that? 100 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 3: And then you're going to swipe it every time. You know, 101 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 3: swiping once is laborious enough, But do tell me how long? 102 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 3: How many years does it take you to win a 103 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 3: chocolate fish off? Everyday Rewards nine two ninety two. It's 104 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 3: eleven after five. News Talk said, b. 105 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 2: Get ahead of the headlines, Ryan Bridge, you for twenty 106 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 2: twenty four on early edition with Smith City, New Zealand, 107 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,919 Speaker 2: Furniture Beds and a playing store, News Talk SEDB. 108 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 3: There's one hundred thousand journalists out sothing, not quite that many, 109 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 3: but a few outside the White House right now. They're 110 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 3: all eager to get a photo of Donald Trump returning 111 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 3: to the White House. He is going to head back 112 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 3: to the Oval Office for a meeting. It's crazy to 113 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 3: think about, isn't it, But that is democracy. For a 114 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 3: meeting with Joe Biden is to start the transition. At 115 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 3: the same time, The New York Times is reporting this 116 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 3: morning that Jack Smith, now he's the special counsel for 117 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 3: the Justice Department that was taking those prosecutions against Trump. 118 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 3: That was the one was about the election defeat, you know, 119 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 3: plotting to overturn the election defeat. The other was about 120 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 3: hiding classified documents. Well, this guy, Jack Smith, has come 121 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 3: out and said I'm going to end these two prosecutions 122 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 3: of Donald Trump and I'm going to resign before he 123 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 3: takes office. And the reason he's doing that, well, firstly, 124 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 3: the Justice Department says you can't prosecute a sitting president, 125 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 3: and he hasn't done it in time. Secondly, he was 126 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 3: told by Trump through the media, I will fire you 127 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 3: within two seconds of getting into office, so he's just 128 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 3: sort of beating him to it. I suppose. Fourteen after five, 129 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 3: Ryan Bridge, the government has released it's refreshed public private 130 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 3: Partnership framework. It was part of the National at Coalition 131 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 3: agreement and the government says it'll help deliver a new 132 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 3: generation of vital infrastructure projects. Interestingly, the four word written 133 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 3: by Labour's Barbara Edmonds. So is that a sign of 134 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 3: some you know, bipartisanship on this issue. Nick Leggett is 135 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 3: Chief Executive Infrastructure New Zualanities with me this morning. Hey Nick, 136 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 3: Hi Ryan, what sticks out for you here? I mean 137 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 3: the first one that they look at is the risk. 138 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 3: So who's taking on all the risk? And at the 139 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 3: moment we might be putting people off by putting too 140 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 3: much risk on the contractors. 141 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean that's that has been a bit of 142 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 7: an issue here. And of course if you want public 143 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 7: private partnerships to be successful, you've got to actually attract 144 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 7: the private sector and having is much understood upfront about 145 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 7: the project and if you think about you know that 146 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 7: the underlying land in New Zealand's got some rocky parts 147 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 7: of the country, but also getting in and buying land early, 148 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 7: establishing as much as you can know so risk can 149 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 7: be properly allocated. The thing is that the private sector's 150 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 7: prepared to take risks. Of course it just will be 151 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 7: priced into the job. But this is you know, we're 152 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 7: very immature where it comes to public private partnerships. We've 153 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 7: only built eight The last labor government paused them, so 154 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 7: we haven't sort of evolve them properly. So this frameworks 155 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 7: really important and it means the government doesn't have to borrow. 156 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 7: And the other point about a public private partnership and 157 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 7: there'll be people driving on roads now that aren't in 158 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 7: good conditional taking their kids to schools, to school buildings 159 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 7: that should have been replaced and renewed. We need to 160 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 7: do better where it comes to our infrastructure assets. And 161 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 7: it's the thing about a PPP. It's not just about 162 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 7: building the road or the school. It's about taking a 163 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 7: whole of life approach to that particular asset. And the 164 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 7: private set not only owns and builds it, but they 165 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 7: maintain it. And Brian, I think kiwis know the government 166 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:43,439 Speaker 7: has been pretty poor over many decades at maintaining our 167 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 7: public assets. 168 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 2: And so them is just one tool. 169 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 3: My car our testament to that. Just on that because 170 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 3: it's related to your point. So the part of this 171 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 3: framework is that any PPP must stack up against other 172 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 3: potential models of delivery, which seems entirely reasonable. Are there 173 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 3: types of projects that actually wouldn't be suitable for PPPs? 174 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 3: And so what types of projects? 175 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, look, it's a good point. I mean I think 176 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,479 Speaker 7: you know, there be many many projects that aren't suitable. 177 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 7: I mean you have to have scale, so a road 178 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 7: would be suitable. But frankly, Ryan, it's another conversation we've 179 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 7: got to have because it's better to have an income 180 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 7: stream from these assets that are public private partnerships. So 181 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 7: a road with a toll on it is going to 182 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 7: be much more appropriate than a road without a toll. 183 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 7: And you know people will also go to Australia and 184 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,839 Speaker 7: other parts of the world we're road tolling for good. 185 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 7: Decent pieces of road are standard and people don't mind 186 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 7: paying more if they get places quicker and more safely. 187 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 7: And as you know, you say, the rooms of their 188 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,319 Speaker 7: car are not damaged. And so it would be those 189 00:09:55,440 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 7: large projects or a whole lot of individual, smaller projects 190 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 7: bundle together, and you know we have we've had school 191 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,079 Speaker 7: PPPs and you know what, the schools love them because 192 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 7: it means that teachers and principals get to educate kids. 193 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 7: They're not focused on being property managers every time you 194 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:13,079 Speaker 7: have the light. 195 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 3: Fails or and they're in a room that's not covered 196 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 3: in mold. Nick, thank you very much for that this morning. 197 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 3: Great to have you on the show as always, Nick Legatiev, 198 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 3: executive at Infrastructure New Zealand.

But I 204 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 3: am looking at live pictures coming out of the White 205 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 3: House right now.

Why 297 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 3: does no one like us New Zealand. Two numbers out 298 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 3: yesterday that prove this, one eighty seven percent. We're still 299 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 3: plateauing in the high eighties for tourism. That's on pre 300 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 3: COVID levels. And number two fifty five thousand for the 301 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 3: year September that was our net migration loss of New 302 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 3: Zealand citizens, which is a new record. Not only are 303 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 3: we that unsexy to foreigners, they won't come here and 304 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 3: have a piece, but our own people are off flirting 305 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 3: up a storm with the likes of Australia. And they're 306 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 3: not even flirting. It's not a weekend fling. They have 307 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 3: left us. It's divorce. Sure, we're getting more people in 308 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 3: terms of overall migration, meaning an overall net positive number. 309 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 3: But next year, many economists predict, for the first time 310 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 3: in a long time, excluding COVID, we'll hit net zero migration. 311 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 3: And we need migrants to support our economy here, and 312 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 3: we need tourists to support our economy here as well. 313 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 3: So what's happened to us? Do we stop brushing our hair? 314 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 3: And cleaning our teeth. Do we look like some antipody 315 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 3: and mole at the bottom of the world that you'd 316 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 3: rather skip over. The Aussies are rebounding much better than 317 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 3: us on tourism, and they're taking all of our young workers, 318 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 3: and you look at all the places that are so 319 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 3: overcrowded by tourists. They're introducing limits in Florence. Just yesterday 320 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 3: they announced that they're banning key boxes to stop Airbnbs 321 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 3: in their city. Rome, Amsterdam, Athens, Pouquette, just to name 322 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 3: a few. They're all doing similar things. Last year, we 323 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 3: ranked one hundred and fifty seventh out of one hundred 324 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 3: and eighty countries on growth and things haven't improved much 325 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 3: there since we are a very expensive place to come 326 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,239 Speaker 3: and we are at the bottom of the world. The 327 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 3: heart of the matter, though, is we've lost a bit 328 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 3: of our mojo. Apart from cutting spending and focusing on 329 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,160 Speaker 3: the basics, which are important, what is this country's big 330 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 3: plan to grow our economic future and fortunes? What industries 331 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 3: are we targeting. Until we can answer that big question, 332 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 3: we'll still look a little bit ugly to the rest 333 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 3: of the world. 334 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 2: News and views you trust to start your day.

Donald Trump 339 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 3: has just met with Joe Buying at the White House. 340 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 3: Says politics is a brutal sport, but quote, it's a 341 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 3: nice world today. They did that chat fireside. Republicans are 342 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 3: about to pick their new leader for the Senate. That's 343 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,880 Speaker 3: happening in two hours. Mitch McCann is with US live 344 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 3: from New York. Inside the next fifteen also before six, 345 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 3: an economist on our tourism numbers and migration as well. 346 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 3: The government has just released yesterday a calculator, a gender 347 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 3: pay gap calculator. I mean, this is such a big 348 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 3: issue for me that I thought I would go and 349 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 3: use the calculator. So apparently the average pay gap is 350 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,640 Speaker 3: eight point two percent, so women are an eight point 351 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 3: two percent less than men. You can go in and 352 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 3: you can put as if you're an employer, you put 353 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 3: how many workers you have male female? Workout your gap, 354 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 3: and then it tells you what to do about it. 355 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 3: So here here's the results that I pretended I had 356 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 3: three men and three women working for me. I pretended 357 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 3: the men. The average for men was sixty thousand a year. 358 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,199 Speaker 3: The average for the women was fifty thousand. What did 359 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,199 Speaker 3: that tell me? Whip? Do you do that? The end 360 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 3: to pay gap was sixteen point seven percent? Didn't say 361 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,160 Speaker 3: whether you know one of those men was the CEO 362 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 3: or the manager, which might have completely skewed the result. 363 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 3: It just says, no, sixteen point seven percent is your 364 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,199 Speaker 3: gender pay gap? There? It is. It also asked me 365 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 3: do you have any gender diverse people working for you? 366 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,439 Speaker 3: And I said no, So it has given me a 367 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 3: gender diverse pay gap of one hundred percent. But there's 368 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 3: no gender diverse person. So the difference between what a 369 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 3: man earns and what a gender diverse person earns is 370 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 3: one hundred percent. Do we have to address that anyway? 371 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 3: Let's get to now the important part, which is what 372 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 3: does this mean? That it gives you a whole toolkit, 373 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 3: our whole explanation and a whole roadmap for what to 374 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,919 Speaker 3: do next? What does this mean and what could you do? 375 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 3: It says here you may find that some employees still 376 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 3: get stuck, or that women are less likely to advance. 377 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 3: What do you do about that? Increase fairness and remuneration 378 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 3: reviews by reducing discretion. This could include introducing a step 379 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 3: based pay system with an automatic annual adjustment and delinking 380 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 3: performance from pay. So, in other words, ditch performance pay. 381 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 3: On what planet are we living? When a government tells 382 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 3: a business not to performance pay its staff. What if 383 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,479 Speaker 3: you're shit at your job? I'm sorry, I don't care 384 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 3: if you're a man or a woman. What if you're 385 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 3: bad at your job? Oh well, she's got boobs. Tick 386 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 3: the box, give her the right, give her the raise. 387 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 3: I mean, I just don't understand this, But then maybe 388 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 3: I'm not meant to. It's twenty one away from six 389 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 3: shown to our reporters around the country. Black Ben's in 390 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 3: duned and Blake disbelief over a theft at a primary school. 391 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 3: What's this about? 392 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 5: Yes? 393 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 11: This is the broad Baying School, which has had a 394 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,399 Speaker 11: number of expensive tool stolen, including a weed eater, leaf blower, 395 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 11: and lawn mower.

Otidra Peninsula Community Board Chair 398 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 11: Paul Pope says people go out of their way to 399 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 11: contribute to their schools, which is why thefts like these hurt. 400 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 11: Principal Rebecca Gilbertson says they'll be relying on locals to 401 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 11: bring tools from home for their working be next Sunday, 402 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 11: adding the community has responded with warmth and kindness.

I think we've all had awkward 498 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,440 Speaker 16: meetings in our life, but perhaps not as awkward as 499 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,199 Speaker 16: we expected that one to be between Joe Biden and 500 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,919 Speaker 16: Donald Trump, although it seems on the surface of it 501 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 16: they were families. Joe Biden said to Donald Trump, well, 502 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 16: mister President elect, former President Donald congratulations, and he said 503 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 16: welcome back to the White House, and Donald Trump responded, 504 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,119 Speaker 16: politics is tough in many cases, not a very nice world. 505 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,159 Speaker 16: But it is a nice world today and I appreciate 506 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 16: it very much. So a lot of smiles and a 507 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 16: lot of handshakes between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, perhaps 508 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 16: a little bit unexpected, Ryan, seeing it seems like they 509 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 16: despise each other usually. 510 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a little weird, a little awkward, and 511 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 3: I did wonder whether they'd put this. I counted seven 512 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,120 Speaker 3: logs on that fire, and I hate to keep going 513 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 3: on about it. Was that like a metaphor for democracy burning, 514 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 3: you know, it's possible. 515 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:40,639 Speaker 16: I didn't even know it was a real fire, but 516 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 16: it looked very nice. 517 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 3: I'd rather be there this morning cranking. Let's talk about 518 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 3: aviation suspending flights they have out of the US to Haiti. Yeah, 519 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 3: that's right. 520 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:54,199 Speaker 16: America's aviation regulator, that is, the FAA, has suspended flights 521 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 16: to Haiti for thirty days now. That country has been 522 00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,719 Speaker 16: embroiled in chaos for some time now. It's estimated by 523 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 16: the Yuien that more than three thoy six hundred people 524 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 16: have been killed in eighty since January. Essentially, the problem 525 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,639 Speaker 16: is it has been overrun by gangs at the moment, 526 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 16: but three American aircraft Jet Blue, Spirit and American Airlines 527 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 16: were all hit by bullets on Monday after flying to 528 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 16: the capitol Porto Prince, So the FAA has now said 529 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 16: for thirty days no American flights are going to go there. 530 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 3: All right, Mitch, thank you very much for that much. 531 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 3: Mccnal live from New York. Just so that you know, 532 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,439 Speaker 3: Jimmy Carter apparently grew up around wood burning systems throughout 533 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 3: his childhood, so when he got to the White House, 534 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 3: he installed six wooden stoves, wood stoves around the building, 535 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,360 Speaker 3: So there you go. They're still in operation today. Apparently 536 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,920 Speaker 3: twelve two six Brian Bridge and you're on News Talk. 537 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 3: Tourism numbers are out. It's not good news for the 538 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 3: sector as we head into summer. We're still only hitting 539 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:54,400 Speaker 3: eighty seven percent of our pre COVID numbers. It's more 540 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 3: of a merit than an excellence on an NCAA exam, 541 00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 3: you'd have to say. Migration is also declining as a 542 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 3: record number of kiwis leave most of them to Australia. 543 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 3: It's net positive for now, but reducing each month. So 544 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 3: could we be on the way to net zero migration 545 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 3: next year. And what does it mean? Mark Smiths, the 546 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,639 Speaker 3: ASP senior economists, Mark, good morning, good morning, good to 547 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 3: hear from you. Should we be worried about this? It's 548 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 3: a pretty stubborn pre COVID number on migra on tourism. 549 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 9: Yeah, that's right in sims of the shortfall. If you 550 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 9: put it that way, it threes. We're broad based by 551 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:34,959 Speaker 9: different markets, particularly Europe about thirty percent below pre COVID levels, 552 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 9: China about forty five, and the rest of Asia about 553 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 9: thirty percent as well. So it is a reasonable broad 554 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 9: based reason for that. Now, looking at probably the reasons, One, 555 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 9: the global economy stare of recovering from COVID, so it 556 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 9: will take some time. 557 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 7: Two. 558 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 9: New Zealand's are pretty peripheral destination for tourism the best 559 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 9: of times, and we're very small, only about two point 560 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 9: two percent of global tourism. Probably the most important reason 561 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 9: I think is that cost remains stubbornly high for people 562 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 9: getting to New Zealand were long away. New Zealand's are 563 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,719 Speaker 9: recently high cost destination and air fares were still very 564 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 9: high as well. 565 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 3: So it's not us, it's them. Basically, they're in the 566 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 3: cost of living crisis too, and we're far away. It's 567 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,959 Speaker 3: not that we've gotten ugly orly shiny during COVID. 568 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 9: Well I'm not so sure about that, And I mean, 569 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 9: there are things you can do to make sure that 570 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 9: you're a lot more attractive destination. Arguably, we'll probably have 571 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 9: some work to do as well. 572 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, and when we are slapping on a tourist tax too, 573 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 3: which has yet to be felt. Let's talk about the 574 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 3: other elephant in the room, and that's migration. What happens 575 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 3: if we hit net zero next year? What does that 576 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 3: mean for us? 577 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 9: Well, yeah, migration if you like is a viewer, I 578 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 9: suppose again of how attractive you are, we've gone from imparible, 579 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 9: we're sort of at the head that the dirty stakes 580 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 9: very attractive now to locking at potentially net outflows next year. 581 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 9: Now that's really reflection of where the New Zealand economy 582 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 9: is real to the rest of the world, and at 583 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 9: the moment we're weaker and those migration flows for falling. Now, 584 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 9: migration is the difference between two very big numbers, and 585 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 9: it's certain possible we could see the outflows for next 586 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 9: year as well. 587 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 3: Next year and is that really bad? I mean, what 588 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 3: does it do to our GDP. Obviously it'd be good 589 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 3: for presumably for demand on resources like hospitals, et cetera. 590 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 3: But what does it do to our growth? 591 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean that's a good point. A lot of 592 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 9: the things, a lot of the resource utilization will ease, 593 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 9: so things like congestion, hospitalization that that will be easier. 594 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 9: The other side of the corner that will be demanded, 595 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 9: and the economy will be a weaker. The housing market 596 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 9: for example, will be a weaker as well, less demand 597 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 9: thousand and potentially things like for the labor market. Migration 598 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 9: has been a huge factor enabled New Zealand to revise, 599 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 9: you know, enough staff for certain worlds that might also 600 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 9: be an issue. 601 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 3: What's what's our projection for GDP for next year? In 602 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 3: the following. 603 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 9: Essentially it's been flat, well has a year or two. 604 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 9: We might see a bit of a rebound sort of 605 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 9: in the second half of next year and that should 606 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 9: hopefully ten around migration flows. But again it's still quite 607 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 9: a long way ahead and they're still quit of them, certainly, 608 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 9: but hopefully we're past the store of trif of the 609 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 9: cycle and we should start to improve by the next year, 610 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 9: you hope. 611 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 3: So Australia is looking at one point two percent for 612 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 3: twenty five and one point nine percent for twenty six, 613 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 3: so we're going to try and beat them. Some stats 614 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 3: up with Mark. Thank you very much, Mark Smith asb 615 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 3: senior economist. On those two new numbers, one tourism, the 616 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 3: other migration. It's eight to sex News Talks. He'd be. 617 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 2: Ryan Bridge, new for twenty twenty four on the early 618 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 2: edition with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds and a 619 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 2: playing store news Talk. 620 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 3: Hi'd be slicks away from sex news Talk, said, be. 621 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 3: The big story you'll be hearing about today out of 622 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 3: the US is the fact that Trump has returned to 623 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 3: the White House for a fireside chat with Joe and 624 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 3: boy was that fire cranking? Ryan, The fireplace looks so 625 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 3: hot in that photo. I've done a Google image search. 626 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 3: None have been cranked as hard as today's fire, despite 627 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 3: all of the meetings with world leaders that have been 628 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 3: held there. So conspiracy, Ryan, Why this is from Brian? 629 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 3: Why is Biden meeting with a Nazi? Good question?

Yeah, 631 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 3: it's it's gas. 632 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 14: You realize it's a gas fire. 633 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 3: It's not. It's a well known gas fire and been 634 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 3: a well known gas fight. 635 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 14: Well, because, of course, the first question you always ask 636 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 14: whenever they have those meetings in that room is you 637 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 14: know you have the fire going, what time of year 638 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 14: is it, how much heat has put out? 639 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 2: You know? 640 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 14: How do you offset it with. 641 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 3: The air conditions? 642 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 14: These are the questions you are very much So what 643 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:47,200 Speaker 14: about how many people are in the room. You going 644 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 14: to realize a lot of very small room, A lot 645 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 14: of people in the room love journalists In terms of 646 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 14: is it really gas it's a gas fire? Well, of course, 647 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 14: it's a convincing gas fire. It's a very good gas fire. 648 00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 14: And I'm into gas fires. Look at it, and so 649 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,480 Speaker 14: the only gas fire I've ever experienced. There's a place 650 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 14: in New Zealand that I won't name, but it's a 651 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 14: very well known hotel that has a similar style of 652 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 14: gas fire. 653 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 3: Because mostly it was crackling. Are you making this up? 654 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 3: I'm not making it up. 655 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 14: It's a well known gas fire. 656 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 3: How does a gas fire crackle? You simply turn it up. 657 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 14: You simply turn it up. 658 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:22,120 Speaker 3: Sounds like a yarn. It's not a it's the real story. 659 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 3: Jimmy Carter lovedood and he had them installed in the right. 660 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 14: Think about why it's a gas fire. You can't have 661 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 14: logs and things exploding out of the fireplace where world 662 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 14: leaders are in the room, setting the carpet on. 663 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 3: Fire and the curtain. I think they've cranked it that hard. 664 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 3: I believe that's a symbolism.
