about body Corps and then there were some good New
Zealanders who run body Corpse.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Yeah, yep yeah, and everyone at news Talk ZIB was
lining up to run me down today. So I'm I'm
furious that everyone. I'm going to go out to the

work is starting at two, but we're going to be
on here.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
We're going to have our own Christmas party.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yeah. I'd rather be on here with you, Tyler and
the listeners than down partying with our work.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
Mate beautifully said mate. It is this season.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
And yeah, hey, so early today there's been some controversy
around how cleanly my area of the a studio here
at ZIB is. I'm just looking at a post from
Kerry Woodham. She put up on a lot of Instagram
and I shared on my Instagram. Actually if you want
to see it, Matt Heath in z on Instagram if

(02:01):
you want to follow me. So she put up the
cloth used to wipe down the desk where Matt Heath sits.
I'll leave this here Chrome against Humanity, so if you
want to check out she cleaned up because she was
ashamed to have the Prime Minister sitting in the seat,
and so thank you carry for cleaning up, Yes, thank
you Carry. But it's only going to get worse. I'm
afraid in the spot because mill Creek Orchard and Matchueca

(02:24):
the great New Zealanders from mill Creek Orchard, Donnie sent
me up. Just punnetts and punets and blueberries which I'm
currently eating.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
And I had a few as well.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Man, blueberries they're messy, that's not that's going to be
more than a cloth to clean that up.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
It's already coming. Purple stains on the disk already and
you can't those out.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
My fingers, the purple. But look they're so healthy and
good for you, these these blueberries. Oh my god, they're delicious.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Oh, Ryan's looking through the other way now it drives,
so he's going to be faceless. Some purple stains on
the desk afterfore.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Actually, I think even the Prime Minister weighed in on
my my cleanliness in the studio this morning.

Speaker 5 (03:04):
Sette's note a good job coming out of out of
what he's been doing. Yeah, there, he's done.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
A right job.

Speaker 5 (03:09):
But he's obviously got the studio problems. So I've left
you some debt Old clean wipes as well.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah wow. So look, I'll take the bit where he
said that I'm doing a very good job in my
and hear it as the afternoons and he has he's
from the This is from the Prime minister. Debt Old
disinfected wipes.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
That's area. Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't expect any leaves from
the Prime Minister.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
My question is will it kills someone else to clean
up after me?

Speaker 3 (03:35):
Exactly? This is newsk Was Cleaner. You know we pay them,
Well I assume.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Yeah, I reserve the right to be a complete natler
peg in the slot once you get the hard word
from Kerrie, even more even more powerful than the Prime minister.
Yeah word so so yeah, well I might I might
add a modicum of cleanliness to this area after carry
said the big work.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
Yeah, underline that word might. Apparently it all goes downhill
when Mike goes on holiday. Apparently he's the clean written
Newstalks he'd be Yeah, I know, it was all good
and now he's gone on holiday and now we're all
getting into trouble here for just being human beings.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
I mean, come on, So Mike Cosking, New Zealand's most
popular broadcaster, has been cleaning the studio.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
Come back, Mike.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
My pig soars sty is just growing. He's like, my mum,
we need you, Mike.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
We need to come back right after three o'clock because
it is Friday.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Yeah, after three o'clock it is the Matt and Tyler
Afternoons New Zealander of the Week. Who who will it be?
It's this penultimate New Zealander of the Week will be
announced for the year, and we're still deciding whether at
the end of the year we'll do the New Zealand
of the Year. I mean we're going to be going
for two months on the show, but potentially.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
This means as the time Person of the Year.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
I think this is a potential announcement of announcement, but
potentially next week we might have the New Zealand of
the Year.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Looking forward to that. After two o'clock. Sure'd you get
your child's teacher a Christmas gift? And if so? What
certainly kicked off a big discussion this morning. And I
didn't really know. I mean I don't have kids, but
you didn't know this either, Matt, that a lot of
parents actually get a pretty significant gift for their child's
teacher at the end of the year.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah. I have had kids that have been at school.

Speaker 6 (05:18):
You know.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
One of my kids is eighteen and I did not
know this. So and the entire time here was at school,
I didn't know that you give presents to teachers. And
I've got and I'm feeling bad about that. I mean,
I've I've seen really nice emails. I've seen a lot
of nice emails to really good teachers.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
It goes a long way, compliments.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Long, long, detailed and very grateful emails. But I've never
I've never given a teacher at present.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
I wonder if a better strategy is you give the
teacher a prison at the start of the year, just
as the getting your child through for the you know,
for the full year, and just with a we wink
and a nudge and say, hey, this is a nice
bottle of champagne. You just look after my kid. But
there is the chat after two o'clock, because right now
we want to have a chat about body corp rules.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Yes, so this is an age old age old topic,
isn't it. You move into an apartment, you tell the
story Tyler.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
Well, this is an Auckland and building it has pand
residents from drying washing on the balcony. So an email
went to residents this is the resido apartment went to
residence instead. The rule was in place to maintain its
stylish aesthetic, a renter's advocatesy damp and mold could cause
or could be caused by having wet clothes and doors,

(06:27):
and could also cause health problems. But on the wider
discussion about body court rules and does it go too far,
particularly when it comes to hanging out the washing on
the balcony, there's not many options if you're in an apartment.
It's not like you can hang away a clothesline. I
mean even that would be a no no. But does
this just go a little bit too far that it
is a New Zealand's right to put their clothes outside

(06:49):
to use our beautiful sun to dry their clothes or
does it just look a bit unsightly?

Speaker 2 (06:55):
Well, you know, Tyler, your clothes. You can't. This is
something I've realized through my life. You can't put everything
through the dryer. No, you just can't. It becomes short
and wide. You can't put your t shirts to your dryers.
Very little stuff that comes out better through the dryer
or okay, through the dryer. But I guess that's the rules.
If those are the rules when you move in, those
are the rules, right, But.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
What do you do with your T shirts? Because you're
quite right if you put a T shirt through the
dry and it ends up square and I've got a
bit of a motor on me, so I buy a
nice long T shirt and then all of a sudden
my bookoots sticking out. I mean, that's a bad time
for everybody.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
Yeah, I remember, you know, back in Dunedin when I
was a student in flatting and growing up in Dunedan
as I did, you'd have you know those what do
they call them, the flying nuns or the clothes horse
clothes whatever, and you put your clothes on there and
it would be so cold that they would just never dry.
It'd be three weeks later and your clothes were still

(07:49):
on there. Yeah, so, oh yell, I don't know, but
there are lots of crazy body corpse out there, and
their body corps that definitely go too far. But you know,
you've got you've got your expensive apartment, You've spent a
lot of money on it, and maybe at any given
time one of them's on the market and you just
don't want it to look like a slum. I guess,

(08:09):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
I think if you can do it tastefully, I mean
we're talking about clothes here, But you're quite right. I've
driven past some apartments, particularly up here in Auckland, and
it does look I mean everything is hanging off the balcony, everything,
and it just looks a little bit slovenly, I think
is the right words. So Andrew was mentioning before another
apartment that bans people put in their shoes in the hallway.

(08:32):
No more shoes in the hallway.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
Yeah, I see. I'm not sure I said on this
because it all seems a bit snobby, but I can
kind of see. I can see both sides of it
because it does, see because I would never be the
person that sent the email around saying no shoes in
the hallway or take your clothes off the balcony. But
also I'm the guy that's happy to runway my spot
here as a pit stick and get in trouble with

(08:55):
Kerry and the Prime Minister.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
There's just something kind of key we about it. The
more that I think about these body corp rules. Yes,
you've got to maintain some sort of esthetic sensibility about
these nice apartments. But I just think you own the place.
Shouldn't you be able to do kind of what you
want within reason? Love to hear from you on this one.
Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call.
Text number is nine to nine two. It is fourteen

(09:16):
past one.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
The big stories, the big issues, the big trends and
everything in between. Matt Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons you
for twenty twenty four used talks that'd.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
Be good afternoon seventeen past one. Is it okay to
hang your wet washing on the balcony if you live
in an apartment? Apparently not if you live in Risido.
And there's many other apartments around Auckland and Wellington and
christ Jutes that are implementing similar body corp rules.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
Are you sure Assida is a body corporate? Body Corporate
only exists for unit title properties to maintain common area
where they are different owners Resita. It is built to
rent development all owned by a Kiwi property. You would
think it is all in one title, in which case
it is the building management making these rules, not the
body corporate. That's kind of all that's above my pay

(10:05):
grade in terms of technicality.

Speaker 4 (10:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah, so those the rules are of the place. But
there are differently body corporates that do make rules.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
Definitely, yeah, because that would be almost like a covenant
that if it's a new development and this is a
new apartment ten it is as they say, build to rent.
So same same, isn't it Whether it's a body corporate
or covenant. They are rules that you have to abide
by if you buy in a certain area. This one
get guys currently live in an apartment building Auckland, CBD.

(10:34):
With such solid body corporate rules maintains the standards and
investment very in capitals very well, all for it, including
no shoes in the hallway.

Speaker 7 (10:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
I mean, if you move into a place and those
are the rules, then those are the rules. Right. So
if the rules are no shoes in the hallway, no
drawing clothes on the balcony, then you know what you're
getting into.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
Yeah, But do the rules change over time with a
body corporate when they sit down for their quarterly meeting
and then they decide, you know what, I don't like
shoes in the hallway anymore, and that, you know, Apartment
B is putting out too much dirty, dirty lawn on
the balcony.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Yeah, I mean I always wonder about that too. Can
you take over the body Corp? Can you get inside
the body Corp and roll with an iron first, rule
the Slovenly Island first and just open up everything to
shoes in the hallway and washing on the balcony. Late
music right into the middle of the night.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
Juliet, how are you?

Speaker 8 (11:31):
Oh hi?

Speaker 9 (11:32):
I normally prefer to text because everyone recognizes my voice,
and then I get teased that i'vephen on the radio.

Speaker 3 (11:40):
Beautiful voice. We're not going to tease you here, Juliet.
Don't worry about that.

Speaker 9 (11:43):
Okay. My sister has just been visiting from Dublin and
she's moved into a magnificent new apartment and it's a
new development and stunning. And the one thing was no
barbecues allowed.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
No barbecues allowed on the balconies.

Speaker 9 (12:06):
Well you can't bar que inside. So their new Weber
barbecue had to be given away to a friend.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
I mean, that's an interesting one. A barbecue as it
was it because the the smell of the cooking and
the smoke and all these other people. What was the
reason given for that?

Speaker 9 (12:25):
Yeah, it was a smell of cooking. I'm not sure
if safety was involved, and I think maybe curries may
not be allowed, I mean obviously in your house. But
that they bought us knowing that there was quite a
lot of direct rules and the planting they did had

(12:45):
to be approved and everything. But they mustn't have seen
the bit about their Weber barbecue.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
That's an interesting one because I love the smell of
a barbecue. So the only thing that I would have
a problem with with other people barbecuing in an area
would be that I'd be jealous that I.

Speaker 3 (13:02):
Wasn't getting any you know, you didn't get the invite
around for the babi.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Yeah, yeah, you say, then sitting there and someone's cooking
up some delicious lamb chops or something, and you're messing.

Speaker 9 (13:13):
Out that could be clashing with the prawns that are
being cooked two meters away on the other balcony.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah, I'll be interested to hear from, you know, some
someone that knows about fire safety barbecues more dangerous, Like
you think a weather a barbecue would be just as
safe as running an oven in your actual house.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
Yeah, I think.

Speaker 9 (13:36):
It's the smells. I think it's the outside smell.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
Yeah, yeah, and you can you can you know if
you if you you know, my asparagus sometimes get pretty smoky.
We're not oil up. Yeah, I create a bird of
a smoke storm with my asparagus. So maybe they're getting
people's eyes. Yeah, if you've.

Speaker 9 (13:56):
Had barbecue, it's worth If you've had asparagus in sandwiches
a couple of hours later in the bathroom, it's really bad.

Speaker 4 (14:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
They strips the paint sometimes. Let them.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Thankye Weez is banned by the Body Court.

Speaker 9 (14:14):
I enjoy yourself all about.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
Thank you, thank you for bringing Oh, eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty. If you've got a crazy Body Court
rule at your apartment, I love to hear from you.
Nine two ninety two is the text number. It's twenty
two past one.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
Putting the tough questions to the newspeakers the mic asking breakfast.

Speaker 10 (14:32):
The Solicitor Generals reissued her controversial prosecution guidelines. These are
the ones that urged prosecutors to think carefully about prosecutions,
especially when a person is marty and joining us. Now
is the Solicitor General ownergy gost, Do you accept that
you made a mistake with those guidelines.

Speaker 11 (14:46):
I wasn't clear what I meant when I referred to
the fact of Marty's disproportionate representation in the criminal justice system.

Speaker 12 (14:52):
If you didn't mean the prosecutors were supposed to look
at any of these groups of people, including Marty, and
go a little lighter on them because they're Marty or
any of these other groups, then what did you mean
You were unable to explain that to me.

Speaker 13 (15:02):
I'm absolutely clear that what you were saying is the
very reason we had to change it.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
The Duplessy on the Mike Hosking Breakfast back Monday from
six am with Bailey's Real Estate on News Togs, there'd.

Speaker 3 (15:14):
Be twenty five past one. We're talking about body court rules.
On the back of an Auckland apartment that sends an
email to residence say no more washing on the balcony
to dry it off.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
A couple of texts come through, well one hundreds of texts.
Actually nine to two nine two is the number. I
live in a complex and Gulf Harbor. We have a
court yard. No washing allowed outside. That's from Rob the
souther Texas said, I've just come back from Europe and
saw many people living in high rise apartments with their
washing always hung out on the balcony and out the windows,
with lines and racks made to be out for all

(15:44):
to see. I guess they don't think anything of it. Yeah,
there's that European thing, and you see it a bit
in New York as well, where the washing lines go
between the buildings. Love and then you pull them on
a pulley.

Speaker 14 (15:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
It actually looks really really cool and stylish. Yea, yeah,
nice if you don't mind people staring at your necks. So, yes,
it's fine.

Speaker 3 (16:02):
Dick, how are you? Oh I think we've got Dick there? Yeah,
geat Dick.

Speaker 13 (16:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (16:08):
Look, I've been a body Corp chair for a few
years now. Just a quick thing on Body Corp rules.
When a new development is done and it's an unit title,
the developer has to have a Body Corp secretary or
administrator as they call them now, and that administrator sets

(16:29):
up a set of rules which may have no direct
application to the actual building, but it's just fulfilling a regulation.
So when people move in and then they set up
their own Body Corporate committee, which is compulsory under the Act.
They then develop their own rules and my experience.

Speaker 16 (16:53):
Is that.

Speaker 15 (16:55):
As long as you don't hang your clothing over the
actual handrail. But if you use just I think you
called it a flying unlike a horse clothes horse. If
you use that and pair everything on and put it out,
there's nothing wrong with that. The other thing is that
a lot overlooked human behavior, and especially today, if you

(17:18):
look at ninety percent of the public, they don't even
look above the footpath, so most decks are not even
viewed from most people. But there's a few that feel
they have to complain about everything. So my I mean
we've set up out. I mean, try and get a

(17:42):
committee together is the first thing. We've finally got a
committee of four in our building. And I've been the
unopposed cheer for the last twenty three years because no
one wants the job. So as far as the rules
are concerned, you've got to be practical. You mentioned barbecues, Well,

(18:03):
it's mainly the smell. It's not I don't believe it's
a fire risk. But it's the same as smoking, you know.
I mean, we have a rule on no smoking on
the balconies because if somebody's you know, these days, we're
trying to develop a no smoking climate anyway. So but

(18:24):
but things that are, you know, practical things, we see
no reason why you shouldn't be able to do them.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
How much work is it to be a body court cheer?
You said you've been doing it for twenty three years.
Is that does that take a lot of your time?

Speaker 4 (18:40):
No?

Speaker 15 (18:40):
Technically, if you read the Act, the only job the
Body Corp Chair has is to chair the annual general
meeting and that's it.

Speaker 4 (18:50):
That.

Speaker 15 (18:50):
At the meeting they're meant to appoint a committee and
it's the committee that's meant to do all the all
the league work. But as I say, if you can
find enough people interested in becoming a committee, I mean,
I'm on one and I'm on two buildings. One of
the buildings, we've got three on the committee. It's got

(19:10):
one hundred and sixty two apartments and we can only
get three on the committee. So, frankly, most people don't
give us stuff. It's excuse my language, but.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
That's not our That's some of the best language we've heard.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
We say that all the time.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
Hey, hey, Deck, I've got a question for you. Do
people come to you though with their problems? Because in
any any apartment building or unit complex or whatever. There's
problems that arise. People don't know where the power, you know,
whatever is, where the water is connected or whatever. As
a body corpier, do you get do? You have to
answer a lot?

Speaker 16 (19:47):
I do.

Speaker 15 (19:48):
I'm sort of a go to man. But technically what
we do is we appoint a we employ I won't
say a point. We employ a building manager, and the
responsibility of the building managed is to enforce the rules
so and also to ensure that all the facilities are

(20:10):
operating the fire They have to do the fire checks,
arrange all those make sure all the locks are secure,
and all that sort of thing. That's actually the job
of the building manager who is employed. He's a contractor,
and if you're not happy with his performance, you fire
him and you get another one. But as a body,

(20:31):
I mean, the only reason people contact me is because
I've been around so long and I know, you know,
I know all the funny little things. But in fact,
I've just come away from a meeting with a real
estate agent who's wanting to rent let out a seller
property and I've had to show him around and all that.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
You get paid for it, to get anything for it?
Oh hell no, it might volunteer. What would you do it.

Speaker 15 (20:57):
It's a voluntary job.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
Someone's ability does it because someone has to do it,
and he's an upstanding member of society.

Speaker 8 (21:03):
Yeah, well not really.

Speaker 4 (21:05):
You don't know me that well.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
In this one part of his life he has to
get something back. Well thank you, Oh sorry you finished it.

Speaker 17 (21:16):
No, no, I'm just going to say so.

Speaker 15 (21:18):
I mean, I had a situation a few years ago
as I was traveling through Vietnam and we checked into
a hotel and there was a sign that said nothing no, no,
no washing on the line, and my wife hung her
handbag on the handle of the door to the outside,
and we've got a call from the management to say,

(21:39):
oh you can't you read the sign. It's not meant
to be anything. So, I mean, it can get so ridiculous.
But in New Zealand, you know, we're meant to be people,
you know, And.

Speaker 16 (21:52):
I don't know.

Speaker 15 (21:53):
I just think that there's too many rules. And as
you mentioned, it's something you buy, it's your home, and
I think you need to have some some say on
how you live there. And also, you know the big
thing that most people don't realize there is no such

(22:14):
thing as a community in an apartment building and most
people get into the lift, press the button and turn
around and look at the number on the wall. Yeah,
and they don't even say hello, or how's your mother
or anything.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
So, how's your father? I think, thank you so much
for you call there, Dick. You sound like a great
body Corp chairman, and the buildings you're in sound lucky
to have you of us. So I just got a
text from my mate, fireman Phil. He said that one
of the reasons about barbecues on the balcony can be

(22:50):
that it sets off fire alarms. The smoke sets off
fire alarms and other other units and.

Speaker 3 (22:55):
That would be a pain in an apartment once those
goes off. Yeah. Oh, one hundred eighty ten eighty is
the number called. Nineteen nine two is the text number.

Ethan Tyler Adams, thank you.

Speaker 3 (24:19):
Very much, Railian. We're talking about body Corp rules on
the back of an Auckland apartment resido that has sent
an email to residents who say no more drying. You're
washing on the balcony and some great teas coming through
on nine two, niney two this one. I am a
body court manager, and there's nothing people like more than
telling others how to live. Residents, societies and associations are worse.

(24:40):
I had one where a group of residents would walk
around three to four nights a week and take photos
of their neighbors, gardens and cars, then email them to
us to issue breach notices.

Speaker 4 (24:49):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
Yeah, I mean you're living in this part of a community.
You've got to accept that people are different and going
to and are going to live differently. So I've got
a question and someone to be able to answer this
for me on our eight one hundred and eighty ten
eighty or nine two nine two. Is it the reason
why you don't want the clothes on the balcony because
it looks messy and you don't like the way it
looks when you're coming home so you don't feel as

(25:11):
good about your house. Or is it that because the
house might be on sale and it lowers the value
of it. It's a good question, as it just the
asthetic value. You come home and you go like, I
own this apartment and I want it to look a
certain way, including the people and apartments that I don't
live in. Yeah, or is it a value thing? Because
if it's just that you don't like the way the
apartment locks, I mean, I don't know. If I look

(25:32):
up an apartment building I see someone drying their clothes,
I don't think worse of anyone in the world because
I don't know clothes need to be dried, And if anything,
I think this person's probably got some quite nice clothes
they don't want to put through the dryer. They're probably
slightly fancier than someone that has to put it through
the dry that just puts everything through the dryer. Right, Yeah,
they're probably nice gowns and you know, fancy stuff.

Speaker 9 (25:55):
Right.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
If you tune around to the real estate agent because
you're buying the apartment and say, hey, I just saw
someone's drying their clothes, could you not fifteen k off
the price? I don't think that's a good negotiating technique.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
Yeah, I mean if it was you know, Tyler, you
putting up your g strings all across the front of
an apartment, that maybe. Yeah, A nice respectful box of
short psychioh. We are fine.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
There's a number of cold tiny how you.

Speaker 17 (26:20):
Doing good, guys, very well, thank you. We're really your
previous caller covered a lot of probably what I was
going to to say, I've just suggest emphasize that. I mean,
I'm a committee member of one residence association and three
body corporates. Apathy is the single most common feature. Trying

(26:45):
to get owners to engage and actually partake in the
running of the body corps with the residents association is
an incredibly difficult task. When you make decisions that are
possibly not so popular, like asking for a special levy
because of repairs needing to be done, then you get engagement,
which is generally the complaint as to or why are

(27:06):
we doing this? But so apathy's the biggest problem. The
issue about things like clothes hanging out, I think it's
purely aesthetics. I don't think it's necessarily value, but it
You know, if you've got a big apartment complex and
everybody's got their washing hanging on the balcony, it's not
a great look. It may, in some people's minds have

(27:30):
a potential impact on value, but I think it's more
the aesthetics issue. And look, once these rules are set up,
they can be amended. You know, you need to have
the prescribed quorum to make changes. So it's not that
the rules are in place and they cannot ever be changed.
They can. You just have to have the right numbers

(27:54):
to support whatever you might be trying to do. Somebody
corps do guess what they call an honorary for your time.
So a really well run body corporate I won't just
have an AGM, it'll have three quarterly meetings throughout the year.

(28:15):
Look for a new build like the reason I called
it actually on my way over to clean out of
filters on the storm water tank at for the residents Association.
It's a thankless calf but it needs to be done
for warranties. I think the thing is that if you've
got a very new apartment, there's not actually a great

(28:36):
deal for the Body corporate or the residents Association to do,
because you'll be covered by master build guarantees or some
form of guarantee for a period of time. But it's
critically important that you have enough funds set aside that
the last government and their infinite wisdom, yes sarcastic, decided
that each body corporate would have to produce a thirty

(28:59):
year maintenance plan for their buildings. So in theory you
have to go through all professionals to do it. For
the Body Corpse, you have to produce a plan and
cost out everything for the next thirty years that needs
to happen to the common spaces in the development, right
you know which is the ten year previous one was

(29:20):
a work of fiction. This one's just a random stroll
in the park. But you know, if you fund it
properly from day one, then you've got money to repaint
the building, repair the deck. Whatever important to remember to
Body Corpse and residents Associations only control the common areas.

(29:43):
They can't tell you that you can't have your walls
painted pink inside. It's only common areas that they're in.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
But they can tell you what you put out on
the balcony, what people can see.

Speaker 17 (29:55):
Yeah, because that's the outside of the building is deemed
to be a common area.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
Righty. Because you say these things about the Body Corp.
And I find that it's quite interesting because I've recently
been become an with the Body Corp. And the pipes
between too one of the apartments and the other one
exploded and and started filling both sides with water, and
the Body Corp just took over, got the builder in

(30:22):
insurance paid for it, and then I looked at everything
and they had a plan for when the roof was
going to get painted, replaced, when the fence was going
to get painted. I was just looking through this, going
this is incredible. And I don't know, is that that
we've got a really good body corp at this place,
or is that just generally that they're they're across there
across these days.

Speaker 4 (30:42):
I I.

Speaker 17 (30:44):
Think you're it sounds like your guys are well onto it.
I mean that that sort of plan for the repainting
of the roof is all part of this channel or
now thirty.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
They had repainting and they were also putting money away
for replacing the roof.

Speaker 17 (30:58):
And yeah, absolutely, yeah, yeah, because everything you'll get a
I think there might be quantity surveyors that do these reports.
We've got a couple of apartment in Queenstown and you
know there you've you know, if you've got a twenty
year old building and you've got to replace abutinal roof
and one of ours is going to cost the thick
end of I think four hundred thousand dollars. So if

(31:22):
you if you haven't put funds away over the life
of the building, you know, turning around to owners and say, well,
you know, we're like twenty grand from you because we've
got to do the roof. That tends to alienate owner
if it doesn't make them a little bit interested in
what's what's going on. But you know it's yeah, I
can't stress strongly enough that you know, if you're involved

(31:44):
with this body corporate whoever owns building, so the apartment,
if you over you'll end up with levees each year,
and those levees will be broken down against the assumed
costs for the following year that are going to be
incurred anything. That's the other So the other important thing
is body corporate levees. Once you've paid them, they actually

(32:05):
belong to the body corporate, not to you. So when
you come to sell an apartment, you don't get your
body corporate fees or levies back. So yeah, look it's
an interesting but slightly complex area.

Speaker 3 (32:17):
Yeah, it's intastic to chanch you, Tony.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
Thanks you call Tony, appreciate that. Oh wait, I'm luck
with whatever you were doing with the emptying out of
the tank of the whatever.

Speaker 3 (32:25):
He didn't seem psyched about that job, daddy, Oh one
hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number call It
is sixteen to two.

Speaker 4 (32:32):
The issues that affect you and a bit of fun
along the way.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
Matt Heath and Tyler Adams Afternoons you for twenty twenty
four Youth Talk, za'd be.

Speaker 3 (32:41):
Thirteen to two. We're talking about body corpor rules on
the back of an apartment in Auckland Resido that has
told all residents that they can no longer dry their
washing on the balcony.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
Yeah, so someone's saying here Rizido as an apartment building
owned by Kiwi Property, which also owns the Sylvia Park Mall.
There is no body corporate of multiple owners. It's an
asset only available to renters. There are no body corporate
rules there. So this is this isn't a body corporate
issue potentially with this residoced situation. But we're still talking

(33:11):
body corps because they're interesting.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
Yeah, Die, how are you good?

Speaker 11 (33:15):
Things?

Speaker 3 (33:15):
How are you good? Do you want to talk about covenants?

Speaker 2 (33:19):
Yes?

Speaker 15 (33:19):
Well to both.

Speaker 11 (33:20):
Really we used to live in Northwood, just north of
christ Church, and it was one of the strictest we've
ever come across. We didn't last very long, to be honest,
But yeah, they had incredible What kind of rules?

Speaker 2 (33:34):
What kind of rules are we talking here?

Speaker 11 (33:36):
No barbecue, yep, no barbecues and it was housing, it
was an apartment, yes, so no no barbecue, barbecue.

Speaker 3 (33:47):
These are homes with like lawns and backyards and fences.
It's just a normal suburb, right And no dogs, No.

Speaker 11 (33:54):
Dogs, no birds outside. No avery is allowed. And you
weren't even allowed if you like, had budgies or canaries.
You couldn't even put them out on your veranda to
let them have a little bit of sunshine within their cage.
That was against the rules.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
What was the did they give you the logic on that?
Just they didn't like they didn't like them as they
didn't like the cute little chirping.

Speaker 11 (34:17):
You can't disturb your neighbors at all. And they had
the front lawn policy budget smugglers.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
So that kind of situation doesn't I'm not sure if
that works not. If that works, I was trying to work.
It doesn't. I don't think it does anyway.

Speaker 11 (34:29):
Die you continue to know your neighbor as well. And
the front lawn policy was in the end what we
had to move for because this name. My husband's so
anxious because you had two weeks in which to mow
your front lawn and when it got to a certain length,
if it wasn't done, then they sent the gardener in
and he did it, and then you were charged for it.
So like he would come home Friday night and go

(34:51):
I think born of everyone. And front garden had to
be maintained to a certain level and if it wasn't,
then they would send the gardening team in and then
you would build for it. You had no no, you
say it was done for you and so.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
And so you owned the property in this place. Yep, wow,
so you owned a property. These are houses, so they're
not apartments. You can't have a dog, you can't have
a barbecue out the front, and if your lawn's not
immediately mode, they send in the gardeners.

Speaker 13 (35:28):
No no cat, no cat, no cats.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
So what's the logic about it? Did you meet any
of the people that that that supported this and have
any idea why the reasons were so, why they had
such strict rules.

Speaker 11 (35:48):
Go for a drive. Now you'll see it looks like monopoly.
It is mmaculate. And I must admit our house property
we had it for two years and it actually sold
for astronomically above what we thought it was worth or
we were going to get for it. We were really shocked.

(36:08):
But when you do go there and you drive around
and you're looking for a properties for sale or to buy,
there's it still today looks like it did when it
first opened, you know what I mean? Like, yeah, and
I suppose if you're o CD, immaculate or any of
those you know a tendencies, this is the place you
want to live because everybody has to do what everybody

(36:31):
else is doing. So it's very set, very controlled, so
you you know, you do maintain your property price or
make more on it because the place is just immaculate
and there's no nonsense going on down there. We didn't
have boy races, we didn't have loud parties. It was
a lovely place to live, very calm, but just wasn't

(36:55):
ask My husband got so you know, fixated on that
front lawn.

Speaker 16 (37:00):
Poor.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
Yeah, but if you can't have a little doggie, yeah,
if you cared, I mean a little doggy, a little
doggie or a budge out front isn't going to the
property value. But anyway, thank you so much for your call, Die,
I appreciate it.

Speaker 9 (37:12):
Not a problem.

Speaker 4 (37:13):
Thanks.

Speaker 3 (37:13):
I see. Yeah, oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty is

whereas Northwood.

Speaker 3 (37:39):
It's just it's north of christ So.

Speaker 2 (37:42):
It's sort of a beautiful, sort of well kept.

Speaker 8 (37:46):
What is that.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
It's like a suburban development and one of those ones
where all the houses are the same.

Speaker 4 (37:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (37:51):
Yeah, very much like Monopoly, but it's it's somewhat part
of a Tim Burton movie.

Speaker 8 (37:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (37:56):
So you get this this beautiful big roundabout and then
you head through almost gate like and then it's kind
of like Pleasantville.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
Yeah, okay, your Pleasantville. So I was looking for Actually, well,
someone says, I love a Northwood. All those rules are
gone now has created too much drama. No rules now, cheer, cheers.

Yeah, and then you do let's go, let's go.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
Well, look, there's no one here. We can do whatever

only other people Neil Ryan Bridge getting ready for his show.
Who he's been He's been worked over even worse than us.
We're going to get out of here before and get
the last hour of the party.

Speaker 3 (41:18):
Yeah, I see him with his little hit flask getting
into the party as well. Right, where is the party?
Apparently they're going to come back here once we finish.
They're coming back to get us. And then we carry
on the part that I.

Speaker 2 (41:30):
Was just thinking about calling a noise control on them.

Speaker 3 (41:32):
Now we can make that happen. Andrew's on the phone
right now. Right, We're going to carry on this discussion
about body corp rules and covenant. We've had some great
calls about those involved in body corporates and also apartments
owners as well. Chris, you're being a body Corp chair
for some time.

Speaker 13 (41:53):
Yes, that's correct, about six years in a one hundred
and twenty apartment contacts in Albany. And it's like everything.
It's been a great discuss in stuff noon, but you
have to understand it. Rules are rules, and unique are
really well run complex or poorly One and MCE have
a poorly run complex that just creates problems. Our Baltic

(42:15):
corporate operational rules were registered under the Unit Title Act
of two ten and that was done by the developer,
who by the way, was Chinese, and they put in
all the operational rules and amendments before anyone moved in,
so everyone knew the rules, like no washing on the deck.

(42:37):
Fortunately we have wheelow barbecue. We have barbecue outdoor furniture
and plants and pots and things like that, so you know,
everyone's under the correct assumption when they move in here,
they know what is going on. And we also put

(42:59):
out an information sheet before people move in telling them
the rules and regulations and we're you know, we're not
one hundred percent strict. Will have to live here as
everyone else, but you also have to have a bit
of respect for each other for noise and et cetera.
It is different living in a community such as an

(43:22):
apartment complex rather than a than just a self a
house by itself.

Speaker 2 (43:31):
Hey, So of course, if someone breaks one of these rules,
who polices that? Is that the body corps responsibility to police?
And what can you do if someone's putting their washing
out the front or breaking any number of the rules that.

Speaker 19 (43:44):
You have a good question.

Speaker 13 (43:46):
We have a building manager that works from eight till
twelve Monday to Friday, and then we have the committee
and an after hours duty manager that fits in. We'll
just go and knock on the door and say, oh gee,
you know, you know you can't have a washing out,
you know, and you know ninety nine percent of the
time people yeah, okay, sorry whatever. We'll give them a

(44:07):
copy of the operational rules. And they might not know English,
may not be their first language, so we have to
factor that in and it usually works pretty well. So
after that, if it's continuous, you know, there are you know,
you can put breach notices and tendency tribunals and all that,

(44:31):
but we haven't gone that far. Put a couple of
breach notices out. But that's about all. And I do
feel really sorry for the chap that was city was
twenty three years as chairman and they don't have a
community and no one talks like completely different here. We
have a we had a Christmas party last week. We

(44:51):
had thirty plus on people there. We have newsic drinks.
We put out a quarterly newsletter to inform people what's
going on, and.

Speaker 2 (45:01):
We do do you have a communal area in your booting.

Speaker 4 (45:06):
We do.

Speaker 13 (45:07):
It's a common area commony and yeah, it's common area
where we don't have a gym, we don't have a
pool or anything like that, but there is a common
area there where we can put up on gazebo which
we have and entertain people there. And that's that's been
really good. And we make a habit of talking to

(45:28):
people and before people move in, we say come down
and meet the building manager and we give them the
essential numbers of who they can call in an emergency
and things like that. But also too, I think the
most important thing about having a committee and a building

(45:51):
corporate building corporation is having a body corporate manager. We're
very lucky. We have an extremely good body corporate manager.
They do the thirty year long term maintenance budget plan,
They do a budget, the AGM, quarterly meetings. You know,
they organize all the contractors coming in, building was inaccessible

(46:17):
building inaccessible windows to wash each six months and things
like that. So we do keep our complex very very good.
It's well known for being well run. And as a
previous caller said, they were talking about capital gain. You know,
we all buy a property to live and enjoy, but

(46:38):
we also buy for capital gain. We never want property
to go down. And we have a really well run complex.
It looks good and our capital gain is really good.

Speaker 3 (46:48):
So very good. And so do you set up the
parties as well?

Speaker 2 (46:51):
Chris?

Speaker 3 (46:51):
So you're the body called chair and the party planning
committee as well, are you guessed? Yeah, speak job no A.

Speaker 13 (47:01):
We have a very good committee. We have a fairly
tight place committee that's been on there for you know,
five six years and got a couple of old parts
where we got plenty of time on a hand. So
we just organized these things and that's really good. People
come down, we know people, we talk to each other
and things like that. And without or give ABC engineer

(47:25):
about Body Corporate in Rostar that you know, they've helped
our complex so much in bringing it up to scratch.
We were an Ebert project that went into receivership, was
taken over by the developers, was handed back to the developers.
And to see what we are now from what we
were six years ago is a real credit. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (47:46):
Great to chat to you, Chris. Thanks very much for
giving us a buzz.

Speaker 2 (47:48):
It sounds like a good place that you're running there. Cress.
Well done.

Speaker 13 (47:52):
Now I'll writ at the new party.

Speaker 3 (47:55):
Yeah, we'll see you there.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
Demo party.

Speaker 3 (47:57):
Yeah, I hate. Hundred eighty is the number to call
if you're in an apartmental part of a body corporate. Indeed,
these covenants. We heard some pretty serious covenants that are
no longer in place, the likes of christ Church Northwood,
dirty old Northwood. But if you are in a new
development that had some pretty crazy covenants, love to hear
from you. There was a place again it's always seems

(48:18):
to be christ Church. It was called Pegasus outside of
christ Church, and the developer went a bit crazy on
the covenants. As an you could only mow your lawn
on certain days of the week, no washing out there
on a Sunday, you had to have specific cars. And
then he just didn't sell any properties. No one wanted to.

Speaker 2 (48:34):
Talk to He over covened is property. We went too
crazy on that's a that's an un goal. So yeah,
we want to hear one hundred and eighteen eighty crazy
covenants that you've had, all crazy body corp situations you've
been involved into.

Speaker 3 (48:49):
It is sixteen past two, your new.

Speaker 1 (48:52):
Home of Afternoon Talk and Taylor Adams afternoon call eight
hundred eighty ten eighty News Talk said.

Speaker 3 (48:59):
Be News Talks there be it's eighteen past two. We're
talking about body corporate rules.

Speaker 2 (49:05):
My body Corp told us we were allowed to roast
lamb in our in our apartments due to the smell
lamb roast lamb.

Speaker 3 (49:13):
That is too far roast lamb, roast.

Speaker 2 (49:16):
Lamb, particularly bad smelling.

Speaker 3 (49:18):
I love the smell of it.

Speaker 2 (49:19):
Yeah, I mean, if you're roasting lamb twenty four seven,
I don't know how much how much text to how
much lamb will you roasting? Non stop roast? Was it was,
you know, like every now and then you roasted a lamb.
But if they were just constant, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (49:34):
It sounds four days just to get that real tender.

Speaker 2 (49:36):
It sounds like more to the story, because you can't
just be told to stop roasting a lamb. Hi, guys,
I'm a building manager, and residents definitely lose a lot
of their freedoms living in an apartment complex. One of
those is a building manager has one of those as
the building manager has access to a master key for
access to apartments. One time, a young contract with authorized
access to the master key to get into an apartment

(49:56):
for work and burst into a bedroom with a couple
making love. Took ages to clear the ear mike. Well
the person bursting. Yeah, I mean, just because you've got
access to the key doesn't mean need you need to
burst into people's bedrooms.

Speaker 3 (50:07):
Yeah, knocking, you know, hello, I come back later.

Speaker 2 (50:12):
You have to get surely you send a message to
say that we're coming around to check things. And it
burst into the marital bedroom and this.

Speaker 3 (50:21):
One giddy guys, I am a building manager currently video
in a balcony right now. We suspect the apartment owner
has been feeding birds because there is bird shit all
over the bottom apartments feeding the chickens. There is bird
poo all over the bottom apartments. We haven't caught them yet,
but we will think. You know, yeah, well, I mean

(50:42):
those little things. Isn't that because you know, it may
not seem like much feeding birds, but if then there's
you know, that's the whole thing about communal living.

Speaker 2 (50:50):
You're feeding the birds. Suddenly there's pidgies everywhere, and it's
an absolute disaster, and you're making other people's lives miserable.
I mean, every year when I go camping with my friends,
I haven't been for a while. But I like to
do is put sausages all around the outside of their tents,
so the first thing in the morning they get absolutely
punished by seagulls.

Speaker 20 (51:08):
Friend.

Speaker 2 (51:09):
Yeah, especially if you've seen someone's been really having a
few and you know they're going to wake up feeling terrible.
Just place a few sausages around the tents and they
get woken up by screeching seagus. So you can do.
I mean, that's fine on a camping trup and everyone laughs.
But that you know, like if you're feeding the birds
constantly around there, then then it can then it can
be the equivalent of that. Just in every day life
you're constantly having a clean up dog leavings and being

(51:31):
having squawking birds everywhere.

Speaker 3 (51:32):
Right, Yeah, it's a bad time. Bleah. You want to
have a chat about barbecues.

Speaker 21 (51:37):
Yeah, got the guys. Hey, roast lamb only smells bad
while you're cooking. It's still got the wool on it.

Speaker 2 (51:45):
Yeah, someone else has tax that throw. To be fair,
he should have shared the lamb first. Yeah, it was.
It was kicking live lambs on the on the balcony a.

Speaker 3 (51:54):
Body body corp.

Speaker 21 (51:56):
It might have been Lamb's tales anyway, And don't say
feeding the chickens tiler. It's a euphanism for something else.

Speaker 3 (52:06):
I didn't know.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
I did not know.

Speaker 3 (52:08):
But to look that up on an urban dictionary.

Speaker 21 (52:11):
Just just quietly when you get them in it in
the office there and ad breaks, just mimic feeding the chickens.
You'll figure it out. Yeah, okay, anyways, barbecues on balconies. Now,
I'm down in Willington, and there is a lot of
instances where they're not allowed if there is not a

(52:33):
sprinkler head on the roof of the balcony. The balcony,
so if there isn't a sprinkler head there, they may
impose her. All that says you can't have barbecues on
your deck, on your balcony. And another yeah, and another thing.

(52:54):
Just one of the other callers was going on about
if you own the property but within a body corporate,
you can, you know, paint the walls pink and all
that sort of stuff. Yes, you can, but if you've
got a fire alarm system with a fire arm sounder,
you can't paint that.

Speaker 20 (53:10):
That has to be a.

Speaker 21 (53:12):
Specific shade of red or with white writing on it,
of a particular size and font, and if you've got
a white one, it has to have the word fire
written in red in a particular font and style and size.

Speaker 2 (53:28):
See can't go all over that under the pink roller
and just slot paint everywhere on those things.

Speaker 21 (53:34):
No, you can't, because the chances are that the building
has a building warren of fitness and a compliance schedule.
And on the compliance schedule it'll set down all the
specified systems that are within that building that need to
be maintained and kept compliant over the year. So it
might have fire alarms, sprinklers, access control, emergency lighting, mechanical ventilation,

(54:00):
automatic fire doors, blah blah blah blah blah goes on.
And each of those things, certainly from a fire alarm perspective,
are covered by a standard four or five one two
and they have to comply with what's in that standard,
and in that standard it specifies. That's where I'm going
on about the sounders have to be read. You can't

(54:22):
painte your your heat detectors, you can't paint your smoke detectors.
So while yes, you can paint the walls paint, there's
still things you need to take into consideration.

Speaker 13 (54:33):
And be aware of.

Speaker 21 (54:35):
Because that that I mean, you're a pretty miserable sort
of inspector really if you fail it and say that's
non compliant but technically it is, and that would that
would then affect the building wide of fitness.

Speaker 4 (54:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (54:56):
Oh well, thank you, thank you for that information, blitches
for your call, and thanks for the intel around the chickens.

Speaker 3 (55:00):
Yeah, googling how to feed the chickens.

Speaker 2 (55:03):
Yeah, I lived in Australia for ten years. This is
text and nothing brings flies around quicker than cook lamb.
They loved the smell of it, so maybe that that's
something to do with it, similar to the to the
bird situation.

Speaker 3 (55:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (55:15):
See because when when I when I received that text
saying Body court owner told me not to cut roast lamb,
You're like that's insane. Yeah, but then these complexities.

Speaker 3 (55:22):
Its bringing all the flyers to the apartment. Yeah, Maverick,
you want to have a chat about Body Corporates.

Speaker 19 (55:29):
Yeah, thanks you guys, great show as usual, thanks man, Yeah,
no problem. About twelve years ago I picked up a
job as property manager slash caretaker for a set of
thirty two apartments up in this is coast north of Auckland.
And I was sixty at the time and went through

(55:49):
an intensive interview though really quite savage, on whether I
could handle the physical part of it, and I covered
some I could, And I was there for seven years,
and I would have called over broken glass to do
that work. I just loved it. It was right on
the beach, and it was a job just made for me.
It was twenty hours in winter, twenty five in summer

(56:12):
lovely because of the pool.

Speaker 8 (56:14):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 19 (56:16):
And I was eating four hundred and six hundred bucks
on the season take home and a big bonus every Christmas.
And I had to go three times a year to
the Body Corp mediums And what a rebel. The administrator

(56:37):
of Body Corp company that sort of looked after all
the peripheral stuff, was very professional, run by an ex lawyer.
But when they came to quote for any jobs minor
or major, I used to stay to the committee. Well, look,
I'll put on a quote too, not just by myself,

(57:00):
but with mate that I've connected with that I can trust.
And I was always about twenty thirty percent sometimes fifty
percent cheaper, and the Body Corp arranged so often they
gave me the job. Sometimes they'd give it to the
body Corp. And that didn't worry me.

Speaker 16 (57:14):
It was just.

Speaker 19 (57:16):
The side show, basically. And then I ended up subliefing
an office as my business my other business built from
another body Corp company that was an opposition to the
one that administered the one that where I used to work.
And they told me some stories that I just could

(57:36):
not believe. That there are eight, roughly maybe more now
companies that specialize in body Corp administration in Auckland, and
this one that I sublused the office from was straight
as and they couldn't understand why they could never get

(57:57):
any business from anyone. They had like thirty clients, but
they could have done with.

Speaker 4 (58:02):
A lot more.

Speaker 19 (58:04):
And then I sat down with the managing director, a
lady neat lady in her fifties. I said, what's the problem.
Why can't you get more business? She said, well, this
is it, Maverick, this is it. They undercut their administration cost,
their annual charge, and then they make it up through
contractors that are.

Speaker 7 (58:26):
Ah yeah, corruption, okay, corruption scamming, call it what you're like, routine, right,
And that's why they were so much more.

Speaker 19 (58:36):
Expensive than all my mates. Quoted by two or three
hundred percent.

Speaker 3 (58:42):
Ah, we've uncovered something here there that that is scruely Wow, Maverick,
thank you very much, my friend. It is twenty eight
past two. Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is a
number to call.

Speaker 4 (59:00):
Mad Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons.

Speaker 1 (59:03):
Call oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty on youth talk
ZB right, good ship.

Speaker 3 (59:08):
There it is where we'll leave it. I've learnt a
lot about body corpse and covenants I've got to tell you,
and cook and lamb on the balcony and barbecues and
all sorts.

Speaker 2 (59:15):
Yeah, here we go. Here's a text Lad's funny story.
We fed seagulls lexatives mixed with bread at the beach.
Then we sat back to watch the entertainment. I'm not
sure if I can support that.

Speaker 3 (59:23):
That is chaos. That is straight up anarchy.

Speaker 2 (59:26):
And potentially yeah, I don't know if you're supposed to
do that to wildlife. No practical jokes on wildline.

Speaker 3 (59:34):
That's a bad time for everybody. Thank you very much
for all your calls and ticks on that one. Right
after the headlines. Should you get your chance teacher a
Christmas gift? And if so, what big debate in the
Herald today.

Speaker 2 (59:47):
Yeah, so there was a DIO teacher that got an
eight hundred dollars present.

Speaker 3 (59:52):
Yeah, some teachers at DIO. Wasn't just one. Some teachers
were getting gifts to the eight hundred bucks.

Speaker 2 (59:57):
Well, maybe there's some billionaires they've got their kids at
that school, because eight hundred bucks of your teacher, that's
that's that's impressive. But I didn't know that this was
even a thing. Is it a thing? I'd like to hear.
I wait, one hundred and eighty ten eighty nine two
A you a teacher? Is it a thing? Have people
been given teachers presents for the longest time? Because I've
got a kid that's just finished school, he's eighteen, and
I never gave a single teacher a present in the

(01:00:19):
entire time he was there. And I didn't even know
that that was a thing that people did. I did
write a lot of really nice emails to really good
teachers where I thanked them specifically for things that they've done,
and look, I helped out in various things and did
all the community school things that you're supposed to do.
But I just didn't know is that a thing? Is
it a new thing? Is it just the thing when
a teacher's been particularly spectacular or you expected to give

(01:00:42):
a teacher a present?

Speaker 3 (01:00:43):
Oh, one hundred and eighty ten eighty Is Matt Heath
a bad man for not giving gifts to his kids teachers?
It is twenty eight to three bad person.

Speaker 18 (01:00:54):
You talk said the headlines with blue bubble taxis it's
no trouble with a blue bubble A law slapping mandatory
prison sentences on repeater thing? Is this back from the dead.

Heath and Tyler Adams.

Speaker 3 (01:02:05):
Thank you very much, railing. So should you get your
chance to teacher a Christmas gift? And if so?

Speaker 19 (01:02:10):
What?

Speaker 3 (01:02:10):
One of the most beautiful, thoughtful, yet bizarre gifts teacher
Shirley Serbin received from a student during her teaching career
was a basket containing a can of Sprite dog food
and a banana. Surely, the teacher said she was so
proud to give it to me, and her mum said
she thought very carefully about each item that would go
in that basket. I did ever got a dog, but
no idea where the sprite and banana ideas came from.

(01:02:31):
I didn't like fizzy drinking, not a big fan of
bananas either. Which is a great gift for a teacher.
But it's kicked off on social media site redded and
it's also on the New Zealand Herald a great story
about parents buying their teacher their kids teachers very lavish
kids gifts.

Speaker 2 (01:02:49):
Sorry, yeah, one hundred and eighty ten eighty. Are you
supposed to give teachers presents? If you're a teacher, do
you expect presents?

Speaker 20 (01:02:58):
Is this through?

Speaker 2 (01:02:58):
So it's dire, So it's high school as well. I mean,
that's a lot of teachers you have to give presents
to if it's a high school situation.

Speaker 3 (01:03:04):
Absolutely, when it could be eight teachers. There were plenty
of ticks that came through. Heather mentioned it briefly this morning,
but a lot of those texts mentioned the dias in
School for Girls situation where some teachers were getting gifts
to the value of eight hundred bucks.

Speaker 2 (01:03:19):
I get someone that's like a teacher, because teachers are
amazing a lot of them what they do with the
extracurricular stuff like teacher, you know, coaching sport and stuff. Yeah,
and I'm incredibly grateful to the teachers that have coached
my kids out above and beyond what they need to
do in school. And that's incredible because when you get
these these these these miserly, measily nasty texts like this

(01:03:43):
one here that came through our nine two nine two.
I would never give a teacher a present. They have
so many holidays. They deserve absolutely nothing for me. I'm
still working, they are on holidays. Screw the bridge. That's
a good text on the thirteenth of December.

Speaker 3 (01:03:57):
Cheer up, fella, geez.

Speaker 2 (01:03:59):
Teachers. Teachers work. A lot of teachers work very hard.
But Matt, you are a bad person. This is from
the other side of it. Met You are a bad
person and people teaching your kids and you don't even care. Shame. No,
I do care. I do care a lot about the teachers.
I just didn't know that giving teachers a present was
a thing. Sometimes you just miss things in society. And

(01:04:19):
here's another text of nine two nine two. I bought
my kids teachers. I bought my kid kids teacher flowers
and chocolates. Then asked her out. It was five years ago,
still together, well done? Yeah, can you say well on
for that? Are you allowed to date your kid's teacher?

Speaker 3 (01:04:34):
It's controversial, not unheard of.

Speaker 2 (01:04:36):
I don't know how your kid would feel about that.
If your kid comes home from school and your teachers there.

Speaker 3 (01:04:42):
Oh, eight one hundred eighty and eighty. Is it a thing?
Is this a new thing? If you're a teacher, I
love to hear from you. Do you get gifts from parents?
And I've got to say, when I was at school,
I can't remember the teachers getting a whole bunch of
presents at the end of the year from parents. This
must be a new thing.

Speaker 2 (01:04:57):
Well this Texas says, I think it's fake news. Is
desperate teachers as desperate get teachers. That doesn't make sense.
As desperate as teachers get, or any kind of service
workers as environments now so harsh, underpaid and not worth
it in comparison to getting freebies for doing if all
from the state, Karen I should have. I think I'm
trying to see what she's getting out there. I'm a

(01:05:17):
little bit confused with a.

Speaker 3 (01:05:19):
Lot of hate for teachers. I've got to say. Coming
through on the techs machine, Oh eight, one hundred eighty
ten eighty is the number call. The only time that
my family it was Mum actually got a gift for
one of my teachers, and it was the principle of
a small rural school and for some reason we got
him a tree. Maybe he asked for the tree. It
was a maple tree, beautiful tree. But that was the
only time I can recall ever giving at my teacher
or something.

Speaker 2 (01:05:39):
My mum got me to give a teacher a plant
in a margarine pot and it was inside out, and
I think as I drew on it and a hanky
and a comb when I was an intermediate that's well,
I understand it. I can kind of picture it a
primary and intermediate because you kind of have quite a
you know, you know a lot about your teach that

(01:05:59):
your kid's at primary and intermediate, what they're doing, and
because you know, I mean, I used to walk my
kids to school and stuff. Yeah, and I kind of
knew the teachers by name. But there comes a point
when they're a high school. They've got so many teachers.
I just can't imagine buying presents for them. Maybe I'm
a bad person, as this Texas suggested.

Speaker 3 (01:06:15):
Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number
to call if you are a teacher or a parent.
Did you give a gift to your child's teacher? Love
to hear from you. It is twenty to three.

Speaker 1 (01:06:26):
Mattie Tyler Adams with you as your afternoon rolls on.
Matt even Tyler Adams afternoons used talk said.

Speaker 3 (01:06:33):
Be good afternoon. Seventeen to three. We've asked the question
should you give your child's teacher a gift?

Speaker 2 (01:06:39):
Are you expected to give you a child's teacher a gift?
And also, if you're a teacher, do you expect them
and do you appreciate them? Or is it kind of awkward?
This sounds slightly awkward. This text has come through a
nineteen nine two I also bought my second I also
So this is referring to one before where someone text
said I bought my kids teachers flowers and choclits, then
asked her out. That was five years ago, still together.

(01:07:01):
So in response to that, the sexer on nineteen nine
two says, I also bought my second youngest teacher a
present and ended up dating him. I thought he was hot.
We've got some grapes. Turned out great, nothing wrong with it.
Six month fling. My daughter didn't mind having her teacher
at home for dinner and breakfast.

Speaker 3 (01:07:17):
Wow, there's an underworld of relationships at the school level.
When he's healing it is it's pretty.

Speaker 2 (01:07:22):
Pretty Say are you allowed to do that? You are
allowed to date your kids teacher?

Speaker 3 (01:07:26):
Is there some sort of teacher parents confidentiality agreement or.

Speaker 2 (01:07:30):
I'm sure it's fine the rules. Okay, you're sure you're
allowed to ask them out. Yeah, yeah, I don't interesting one.

Speaker 22 (01:07:36):
That one.

Speaker 3 (01:07:36):
We could transition to that as well. One hundred and
eighty ten eighty Michelle, How are you?

Speaker 23 (01:07:41):
God?

Speaker 9 (01:07:41):
Thank you.

Speaker 20 (01:07:42):
I'm a teacher and some of the most lovely gifts
that I've got have been cards and things that students
have made and written little notes and to thank you
for the year. And perhaps the biggest gift that I
ever got was a student that I taught and took
away on a school trip who made me a thousand
paper cranes, tiny paper crane and put them in a great,

(01:08:05):
big glass jar and gave them to me and I
still have today, And that's probably my treasured gift.

Speaker 2 (01:08:10):
That is so incredibly lovely. A thousand paper cranes that
would have taken hours and hours and hours just thinking
about how much they love their teacher.

Speaker 3 (01:08:21):
It's gorgeous, beautiful story.

Speaker 4 (01:08:22):
What so are you?

Speaker 2 (01:08:23):
Primary school, intermediate secondary? Secondary?

Speaker 20 (01:08:28):
Wow, I've just finished school for the year, and I've
got lovely cards, lovely chocolates and you know, real sweet
things that cuds through and it just wounds your heart.

Speaker 2 (01:08:38):
So is it normally from the kids as opposed to
the parents. These presents hard to tell.

Speaker 20 (01:08:43):
But the kids write the messages and things, so maybe
the parents have stumped up the money.

Speaker 2 (01:08:48):
But yeah, and is that across the border. Is it
just that you're a particularly good teacher, Michelle?

Speaker 20 (01:08:54):
No, no, no, we find it offen. At the end
of the year, kids will give you the little.

Speaker 4 (01:08:59):
Gufts, just little totun Yeah, well, I mean you.

Speaker 20 (01:09:02):
Get the diotype gifts.

Speaker 2 (01:09:04):
Doing anything with eight hundred bucks? No, how would you
about that? Michelle? How would you feel about an eight
hundred dollars present?

Speaker 20 (01:09:11):
That I think would be a bit awkward. I think
that's a little excessive. Some chocolates or maybe some styles
or something like that in a car, but eight hundred
dollars not Michelle.

Speaker 2 (01:09:25):
If you got a little doggie there with.

Speaker 20 (01:09:27):
You, I have his whining in the backseat.

Speaker 2 (01:09:29):
What kind of dog is it?

Speaker 20 (01:09:32):
He's a richro doodle.

Speaker 2 (01:09:34):
What's a rich doodle?

Speaker 20 (01:09:36):
It's a retriever labor mixture.

Speaker 3 (01:09:39):
A beautiful what's the name?

Speaker 16 (01:09:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:09:47):
Can you do a good boy? He is a good boy?

Speaker 10 (01:09:50):
What a good boy?

Speaker 3 (01:09:52):
You're going to get.

Speaker 18 (01:09:55):
Sales.

Speaker 2 (01:09:59):
A good boy, I have to.

Speaker 20 (01:10:00):
I'll have to deliver on this now.

Speaker 2 (01:10:03):
Michelle, your story about the thousand cranes in the jar,
that that is absolutely beautiful. That's yeah. Hey, thank you
so much for your call.

Speaker 24 (01:10:12):
And have a mirror.

Speaker 20 (01:10:14):
Yeah you go another one, ok, I got another lovely one.
I had tutor class, and I had them for three years,
and they were leaving school at the end of the
year thirteen, and every kad wrote a personal message and
they made this hard that sort of concerting it out
with the messages from all of them, and they gave
me flowers and chocolates and all sorts of things. And
when I got it, I was a little bit overwhelmed

(01:10:35):
and extra boost into tears. So I was just like, oh,
I wasn't expecting that, but it was really really delightful.

Speaker 2 (01:10:42):
I reckon that you're selling yourself short. I think you
might be a really good teacher, and you just don't know,
because I have never felt compelled to do anything like that.
I don't think as I'm looking a different way, I
never had a teacher as good as you do.

Speaker 20 (01:11:00):
You can send me chocolates tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (01:11:01):
Yeah, actually, thank you very much. I'm making one thousand,
two hundred cranes just to beat that little kid.

Speaker 20 (01:11:11):
I wonder if it's less.

Speaker 11 (01:11:14):
It was a boy too.

Speaker 2 (01:11:18):
Merry Christmas, Shell and Merry Christmas, dude, you're a good boy.

Speaker 4 (01:11:21):
Merry Christmas.

Speaker 2 (01:11:22):

Always lovely in Auckland.

are you? What are your thoughts on these gifts for teachers.

Speaker 24 (01:11:57):
Well, it's been going on for years and years and years,
and my mum was a teacher and she's in her
eighties and I remember getting these, you know, interesting little gifts.
I also know how incredibly hard she worked. So the
whole idea, just because the heads aren't in school doesn't
mean they're not working. Yeah, fellasy, because.

Speaker 2 (01:12:14):
I know my mom. My mum was a teacher, and
and I think anyone that's got a teacher in your
family gets really annoyed with people that say that teachers
have a lot of holidays and don't work hard. They have.
Teachers do a.

Speaker 24 (01:12:26):
Lot, Yeah, some some don't. But I mean that's the
same in any industry you've got.

Speaker 2 (01:12:32):
But also you take on you take on an emotional
weight as well. That's the thing as teachers. You know
you'll have thirty kids in your class. On hundreds of
kids come through your class in secondary school, and and
there's there's there's positives, and there's also horrible dramas and
lives as well. But yeah, for you saying.

Speaker 24 (01:12:49):
So with just I mean my daughter, she's in her thirties,
and I always along. I always did wine because in
my way of thinking, I can't think of anything worse
being stuck in a class with thirty children and you
deserve drink.

Speaker 2 (01:13:06):
Would you support that wine being drunk while the we're
still in the class to get through get through a
difficult afternoon.

Speaker 24 (01:13:14):
I would say vodka because it doesn't smell it with
orange juice.

Speaker 3 (01:13:20):
Yeah, you thought that through Fee.

Speaker 2 (01:13:21):
I had this teacher Fee called mister Henderson that used
to drink whisk whiskey in class. You have it in
his and his coffee, But he's stunk of whiskey, like
absolutely stunk of it.

Speaker 8 (01:13:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 24 (01:13:33):
I had a mass teacher like that. It was awesome
and I now understand as I got older why we
were doing horse racing again.

Speaker 3 (01:13:41):
Alcoholic things got excited in the afternoon.

Speaker 24 (01:13:46):
But yeah, just get to whoever you like when if
you feel like.

Speaker 19 (01:13:50):
You know, you.

Speaker 24 (01:13:53):
Considerate of it.

Speaker 13 (01:13:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:13:54):
But if you're a parent and your kids come home
and they say something about a teacher and that teachers
really helped them out or made them excited about a subject,
you do feel incredibly grateful grateful for it. I mean,
in my case, not grateful enough to give a present,
but that's because I didn't know about the present though.
It was a nice email though, But but yeah, I've
seen a lot of really really nice emails. It doesn't

(01:14:16):
sound like much they.

Speaker 24 (01:14:17):
Count as well, you know for anyone in the news
service stuff. If you've sent an email to then and
their manager, yeah, then that goes for their performance reviews.

Speaker 3 (01:14:31):
CC in the principal Absolutely, yeah, fee, Yeah, that good advice,
thank you very much. In a wine for a teacher,
yeah absolutely, it would go down a treat for most teachers.
I think follow one a day through one hundred eighty
eighty is the number to call. It is nine to
three Back in the mow.

Speaker 1 (01:14:52):
The issues that affect you and a bit of fun
along the way. Matt and Taylor Adams Afternoons You for
twenty twenty.

Speaker 3 (01:14:59):
Four News Talk News Talks b It is six to three.
Some great teachs coming through about gifts for teachers.

Speaker 2 (01:15:08):
My sister's teacher married twenty eight years. No, you go,
congrat emotions they did my sister's teacher. I'm just going
to work out the math on that for all the
teachers haters out there. My partner was a teacher. She
changed jobs to one that was she was warned would
be brutally hard work, technically demanding long hours, high pressure, etcetera.
Compared to teaching, it was a breeze.

Speaker 3 (01:15:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:15:29):
I just don't like anyone that has teachers in their
family knows that that stuff that they don't work hard
is rubbish. Yeah, Matt, we've given your book the Alternative
Commentary collected to a few of our favorite teachers.

Speaker 18 (01:15:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:15:39):
Yeah, that's a win win.

Speaker 2 (01:15:40):
That's one of my two books I've released this year.

Speaker 3 (01:15:42):
And this one. I was a classroom teacher for fifty
years at primary level. I still have over twenty unopened
handkerchiefs from the seventies and eighties. Funny, I used issues
now every year at least two thirds of children gave
me generous gifts but didn't like the hankies.

Speaker 2 (01:15:58):
Well yeah, but.

Speaker 3 (01:16:00):
Yet it's all the Texas coming through backing teachers. There
was a couple of grenches coming through saying why do
teachers get gifts? They hardly work. There's a lot of
support coming through from teachers now, and as you said,
the emotional burden of being a teacher. You got to
be a counselor teacher here and everything.

Speaker 2 (01:16:17):
You're looking and see some people having great lives, and
you see them striving towards the future, and you see
also have a window to people with who have terrible lives. Yeah,
here's a text on a more happy note. When I
was nine, we had a school trip around the farm
and the teacher had a big bot of spakees while
cooking sausages at the barbecue for lunch. It was a Tuesday.

(01:16:38):
Mister Lusher was a legend.

Speaker 3 (01:16:40):
Yes, sounds that absolute legend. Love that right. That is
where we'll leave it, Curz. After three o'clock. Well, it's

four News Talk ZIDB.

Speaker 3 (01:18:21):
Hello to you, welcome into Friday. I always feel good
on a Friday.

Speaker 2 (01:18:25):
Kida, Matt, get a toilet. It's a ghost town here
at news Talk. Because they'd be everyone's off at the
Christmas party. They booked it for two o'clock on a
Friday night. Full well that the Matt and Tyler Afternoons
starts at twelve and ghost four. Yeah, so screwing us
over terribly. And also I know, I know for a
fact that I am the best person to have it apart.

Speaker 3 (01:18:46):
Yeah, you bring the party. I'm a great time honest.

Speaker 2 (01:18:49):
They're actually damaging themselves by not having me at the party.

Speaker 3 (01:18:52):
Yeah, it's a poor choice, but we're having the party here. Hey, cheers,
cheers to our little party. I mean this is what
was that? That was some twelve year old whiskey?

Speaker 10 (01:18:59):
Was it?

Speaker 4 (01:18:59):
Cheers?

Speaker 8 (01:19:00):
Cheers?

Speaker 3 (01:19:01):
Oh, there's some good stuff all right now, we're ready
to go right now. Just before we get into what
we always do on a Friday. A great story in
the Hero about where Kiwis are flying this summer.

Speaker 2 (01:19:19):
Yeah, and it won't surprise you. It's Queenston, it's Nelson.
Actually it might surprise you. So the three biggest locations
in New Zealand. That kiwis are flying to a Queenstown
quarter of a million people going there. Nelson, one hundred
and fifty five thousand Kis are flying to Nelson. And Dunedin, Oh,
my hometown, the pretty city. One hundred and twenty thousand

(01:19:39):
people are going to Dunedin. I mean, what a spice.
It's the wildlife capital of New Zealand. Of course, beautiful
stuff and dunedinan's fantastic in the summer.

Speaker 3 (01:19:48):
The catlan's I mean, I know that's not danedam, but
you fly into Dunedin to go miles from Dunedin, I
only know the top of the south.

Speaker 2 (01:19:55):
But in fact, actually, to be fair, my sister she'll
she'll probably be holidaying in Perukanui Bay. I've given that
away actually, sorry, Catherine. She likes to have no one
where she holidays. Her idea of a holiday. When I
go on camping with her, if she sees anyone else
a kilometer in either direction, she goes, oh, I guess
we don't have the beach to herself. But are these

(01:20:18):
the best places to go in New Zealand, Queenstown, Nelson
and Duonedan.

Speaker 3 (01:20:23):
I can understand Nelson and not just because I'm an
Nelson boy. You know, you got the able Tarsman and
Tahunah Nuie Beach and look, the inner city is a
little bit rough, I'll give that it there, but lovely beach.

Speaker 2 (01:20:33):
To be fair, I'm going to two of these places.
I Am going to Queenstown and Nelson and Dunedin over
the holidays.

Speaker 3 (01:20:38):
Yeah, we're as where as the Mobra Sounds and Blenham,
That's what I'm asking. Yeah, I think that is a
doozy for summer.

Speaker 2 (01:20:44):
Yeah, well, I guess the sheer numbers of people. You know,
people are spread across you know, beach beach towns, and
you know their batches are everywhere in different places you go,
so it's always going to be the sort of big centers.
But a quarter of a million people piling into Queenstown
over the holidays, that's loose.

Speaker 3 (01:21:02):
Is that a good time anymore? When it's that pumping,
that heaving? And I love Queenstown. Beautiful place but kind
of small. Yeah, but she gets pretty pretty coach.

Speaker 2 (01:21:10):
But there's a lot of stuff around there. You go
out to Arrowtown, you might go over the Crown Range
to Wanaka. Yep, you know there's a lot happening in
that area. So I mean that's people flying into Queenstown
and then they'll spread out to all those beautiful places
across Central Tago.

Speaker 3 (01:21:23):
Yeah. Absolutely, So what have they left off the last oh,
eight hundred eighty ten eighty and where are you hitting
the summer? Kind of surprising Queenstown. That's not that surprising, Nelson.
Then Dunners love to hear from you on eight hundred
eighty ten eighty and the text number is nine two
ninety two, But right now it is ten past three.

Speaker 4 (01:21:44):

So without further ado, the nominees for Matt and Tyler
Afternoons Zealander of the Week are nominee. One also gets

(01:22:11):
the Shoelace Express Award. You lost your cars and your bears.

for how we need to get better at building and
fixing things in this country. You cost three point seven

(01:22:48):
million to build in twenty eleven, but somehow costs the
Auckland City Council ten points six million to fix and
twenty four But at least you're back in time for
Christmas the wind Yard quarter of Bridge. You are nominated
for New Zealander of the Week, but there can be
only one New Zealander of the Week and your muscular, smooth,

(01:23:11):
coated and long tail. You have powerful legs, a deep
chest and a flexible spine. You can have seventy five

Speaker 2 (01:24:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, someone said, here's the text. Who the
f came up with a bridge for New Zealand of
the week. The answer that question as me, I came
up with it.

Speaker 16 (01:24:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:24:56):
One of the hosts of the afternoon show on News
to seed be so that that was me Texter.

Speaker 13 (01:25:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:25:04):
Hey, so we were just saying before the top three
destination in New Zealand over the summer holiday, calling to
in New Zealand flight bookings Queenstown, Nelson and duneed in
a quarter of a million going to Queenstown, one hundred
and fifty five thousand going to Nelson, and one hundred
and twenty thousand going to need And of course they're
just sort meursing from there. Are there better places? And
this is the leading quistion are there better places to

(01:25:27):
holiday in New Zealand than Queenstown, Nelson and Dunedin. We'd
love to hear from you hype up the best place
to go in New Zealand. Oh eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty or nine two nine two is the text number.

Speaker 3 (01:25:39):
It is fourteen pass three, Good afternoon, seventeen past three
in New Zealand has revealed where kiwis are spending their
summer holidays and the big hot spots this year at Queenstown,
Nelson and good old Dunedin.

Speaker 2 (01:25:54):
Hey, now, I just someone's pointed out here, there's where
is it here? Someone's calling into the maths on this,
and how impossible goes so much cheas coming through I
can't find it. But actually we've said a quarter of
a million people are expected to try all to and
from these events, these events. This is one of those
typical stats. We've got to read it a little bit closer.

(01:26:15):
So someone's pointing out a quarter of a million people
flying into Queenstown would be a lot. So it's to
and from Queenstown, Yeah, in and out, in and out,
in and out, yeah, yeah, yeah, So it's a little
bit less because that would be one two hundred and
fifty flights, yeah, in that period of time, which is impossible.

Speaker 3 (01:26:31):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Nelson. Meanwhile, one hundred and fifty five
thousand people traveling in and out and done is one
hundred and twenty thousand people in and out. But we've
asked the question, where are better places than Queenstown, Nelson
and the need and for summer plenty of great dips
coming through.

Speaker 2 (01:26:47):
Yeah, banks of the Ross Creek Reservoir as an awesome spectacle. Yeah,
that's a fantastic spot, and down into Needa. I know
it very well. That's why so many people are going
to the need and to spend some romantic time in
Ross Creek Reservoir.

Speaker 3 (01:27:01):
Yeah, love it, Lindsey, how are you good?

Speaker 13 (01:27:04):
Thank you great? I agree you came from Blenham, but
I think you could never go past them. All sounds
just needs about four degrees warmer. But that's not what
I'm ringing about. I was thinking, if anybody's going down
the West Coast, they just have to go into a
place in Charleston, and that's somewhere between Wistport and Greymouth,
and a guy there has invented and made a wonderful

(01:27:26):
homemade railway. And then you get on wetsuits and you
go into the caving system and hop on these rubber
tires and wash your way down the caving system and
come out of the river about half an hour later.

Speaker 3 (01:27:40):
I've heard of that cave tour, So Charleston halfway drinking,
halfway between Wistbourn and Greymouth.

Speaker 13 (01:27:46):
I think. So there was something in the Clash Express
on Monday and I can't find that paper now. But
I'm not related to this guy anything like that. It
was just the neatest experience.

Speaker 4 (01:27:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:27:55):
How often do you get across to Charlestown?

Speaker 16 (01:27:57):
Are you?

Speaker 3 (01:27:58):
And mulborosounds mostly no.

Speaker 13 (01:28:00):
No, no, no where I'm axing gratus. I originally came
from Benham. We used to go to the Moulboro Sounds always.

Speaker 3 (01:28:09):
Get you, Lindsay.

Speaker 13 (01:28:10):
I'm going to say great, great boating and fishing and
diving and me and bable sounds.

Speaker 3 (01:28:14):
Yeah, yeah, beautiful spot and remote, Lindsay. You know, there's
what a lot of people love about it is you
get the boat, excess bench and then it's just you
and nothing else.

Speaker 13 (01:28:23):
That's it.

Speaker 9 (01:28:24):
Yep.

Speaker 13 (01:28:25):
So if anybody's going to the West Coast, they should
definitely try this.

Speaker 3 (01:28:27):
All right, just love it, Lindsay, Thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (01:28:30):
Someone here A few people actually have said can lock
top or can lock can lock boys? Can lock topor Well?
Funny as you say that, because I went there last
year and I'll be going there again this year.

Speaker 3 (01:28:41):
Tell me about can lock.

Speaker 13 (01:28:42):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:28:42):
Look take the boat. I only know it from taking
the boat from Topol. Blast over there, beautiful golf course,
beautiful Marina, great ice creams, great fish and chips. Just
a nice, nice little, nice little area on the banks
of Lake top.

Speaker 3 (01:29:00):
Beautiful golf course. Yeah, I'm just very fancy.

Speaker 2 (01:29:03):
Ye that's a fancy beans golf Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:29:05):
Yeah, it's members only.

Speaker 2 (01:29:06):
Yeah, so sort of sort of not so far, I
guess from the Hooker Falls, you know, the Peter Pumley
Walker special see yeah and Lock.

Speaker 3 (01:29:15):
Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty. Where is the best
spot for summer?

Speaker 2 (01:29:19):
Actually, I take that back. It's miles from there sometimes.

Speaker 3 (01:29:22):
Just looking at them now, so it's.

Speaker 2 (01:29:24):
It's Yeah, I get confused on Lake Topaul because it's
so huge. You think you've gone right across the lake,
but you've you've left Topor and you've just sort of
gone off to the to the west and you're and
you're heading heading ken Lock, but you haven't actually spent that,
you haven't actually even traversed much of the lake.

Speaker 3 (01:29:42):
Yeah, I'm just looking at it now, Corwa Kowa Bay
Trek lookout. Beautiful part of the country. I eight hundred
eighty ten eighty, the peast, So you go.

Speaker 2 (01:29:50):
I was just going to say, Topau is such I know,
it's absolutely rammed around this time of year. But that
is such an incredibly beautiful part of the incredibly beautiful
part of the world.

Speaker 3 (01:29:59):
Yeah, it's I'm ashamed to say I haven't gone to
Lake Topau that many times, but we are having a
quick stop down there as we hid down to Christchution.
Looking forward to it. But you can and see why
it is a tourism hotspot now, giday guys, the bliss
our best place to holiday in New Zealand is the
beautiful Tudor Kaka coast northeast of Fungada. Beautiful white sand

(01:30:20):
and everything you need from surf beaches to cambays for
the literies, ice cream from Materporti or a meal at
the marina. But don't tell anyone, it's our secret. Tudor
Karka love that.

Speaker 2 (01:30:31):
Yeah, that is one of the things for New Zealand.
As I were saying about my sister before, and places
where you go, you don't necessarily want to super hype
it up. Yeah, because some of the best places in
New Zealand that you find are fantastic because they're not
rammed with hundreds of thousands of people.

Speaker 3 (01:30:46):
Yeah, those little head and gems, we love them. Keen
to hear yours though, Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty Tawil,

enzid Herald Premium now back to matt Ethan Tyler Adams.

Speaker 3 (01:37:22):
Thank you very much, Raylan. Where are the best summer
spots in New Zealand. This is on the back of
ear New Zealand that revealed where Kiwis are spending their
summer holidays. Queenstown would be of no surprise, but also
Nelson in good old Dunedin in New Zealand's.

Speaker 2 (01:37:36):
Yeah, we's better than those three places. I was talking
about the Hook of Falls before, and we're talking to
I think was Peter, and he was saying that people
kayak over there, and I was like, really do they?
I didn't believe him, but lots of texts coming through
saying people do kayak over the Hook of Falls. My
business partner used to do it every weekend. So I
locked it up and I've been watching videos of people

(01:37:57):
piling over the Hook of Falls and canoes. It's impressive stuff, maniacs.
So I mean, good on you. That's bloody awesome. That
is bloody cool.

Speaker 3 (01:38:08):
And then I'm looking at some of these videos now
there it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:38:11):
I mean, I mean, yeah, I mean, there is so
much water goes down there, but I guess it's not
I guess it's not as crazy. I mean the end
of it's pretty loose right at the bottom there. But
you know, great spots to watch people kayaking over the
hook of falls. Of course, Peter pumney Walker was not
in a kayak when you went over.

Speaker 3 (01:38:26):
No, no, he wasn't. Some great texts coming through. The
best summer spot is my own backyard. Isn't that beautiful?

Speaker 2 (01:38:35):
There is something in not going away. There's something and
just staying where you are. Yeah, as I said before,
Auckland is actually a fantastic summer destination if you don't
travel to it, if you're just here, it changes. It's
like a completely different city over the break.

Speaker 3 (01:38:48):
But you're right, you don't have to go far to
get to some of the best peaches in the country.
I mean you just go east, west, north or south
and you will find be beautiful spots in Auckland. What
I'm saying this text to here says guys, Yes, there
are better places pretty much anywhere where two hundred and
fifty five thousand visitors aren't going, like Queenstown Orpanaki in
Taranaki is the best summer spot and a lot of

(01:39:10):
texts coming through for wyhe Beach can't beat it sun
surf and sand. I think there's a few former all blacks.
I've got homes in Wayhee Beach, beautiful spot.

Speaker 2 (01:39:19):
Hey, guys, I think everyone should go to Auckland for
the holidays. That would be great. Pyes, I won't be
going to Auckland though, cheers Alex. Yeah, so everyone go
to Auckland. I see, that's the point. Everyone leaves Auckland.

Speaker 3 (01:39:28):
Yeah, everyone leaves Auckland to us.

Speaker 2 (01:39:30):
So if you stay, then Auckland becomes like a sleepy
little resort town, a sleepy, sleepy, massive resort town.

they would have been to hear a white wedding by
Billy Idol. But look, I'm not going to be saw
a loser about it. I will have my revenge, but
I will not be a sare loser about it.

Donnie from the Mott. He sent those through.

Speaker 3 (01:51:02):

Speaker 23 (01:51:04):
Indeed, I'm always keen on free food, even though I'm
whip it. It's the team mate. I just burn everything
off and look, Amanda, thanks honey.

Speaker 3 (01:51:13):
Yeah, right on to sports. Sure, what are your top
three for the weekend?

Speaker 4 (01:51:16):
Cricket?

Speaker 23 (01:51:18):
It has to be cricket because it's the last test
of the domestic season.

Speaker 2 (01:51:21):
It's only mid December.

Speaker 3 (01:51:23):
I don't think I'll leave it get over that.

Speaker 2 (01:51:25):
And it's the final for the sixy camel Tim Saudi
and there's a there's a giant actual camel down there
to celebrate his his final.

Speaker 23 (01:51:32):
But he's definitely playing because if name one end of
the ground that Tim Suvee stands so he didn't play
the be A right, so he'll be playing I think
with the players there, even though they have really stunk
the joint up over the last couple of Test matches.
I mean they have soiled their sheets in this one.
They'll do it for Tim Soudy. Yeah, guys, so respect

(01:51:53):
that he's so loved, He's done so much for New
Zealand cricket. If this doesn't make these guys take their
catches and actually score runs.

Speaker 3 (01:52:01):
I don't know what Will is coming in. He might
be coming in, I don't know.

Speaker 23 (01:52:05):
And of course Will Young Cromb is going to open
up as well, so that's going to be well worth watching.

Speaker 2 (01:52:09):
Over looking for three days, a great way to spend
a couple of spend the weekend. And of course Bears
mcallum would have put so much red wine through the
English system celebrating the one of the series that they
might be on the back foot of the English now.

Speaker 23 (01:52:21):
They could be swimming in their own skins. But that's
one of my ones that I really want to watch.
I think I'm going to divide Melbourne City taking on
Auckland FC because it's going over seas and in the
second time to try and if they win this match,
that's the record for the most wind streaks in a
row from the start of the season.

Speaker 3 (01:52:39):
How good.

Speaker 23 (01:52:39):
And then of course we've got the Phoenix on the
other side, and I can't let them go. They're playing
MacArthur and you've got to have love for the Originals.

Speaker 2 (01:52:47):
Yeah, well you're wearing the shirt, aren't you.

Speaker 3 (01:52:48):
Yeah, I am, but the one that really does it
for me. And this is one you've got to watch.

Speaker 23 (01:52:55):
Never host Sterling Light heavyweight fighting Tukos. This is coming
up in a fight night and that is on Sunday
on the main card. That guy's a weapon. He could
be one for the future. You can't take you anywhere,
can you? Haven't you got a mute button?

Speaker 17 (01:53:12):

Speaker 2 (01:53:12):
Look, I need to hear my notifications. If you're an
important man, don't you forget notice?

Speaker 3 (01:53:17):
Never host Sterling. He's almost got as got a six
pack as you does.

Speaker 23 (01:53:22):

for pretending that way. You know, I'm still working really
hard at fifty five.

Speaker 3 (01:53:27):
It's really hard to find it. Yeah, that guy's part.

Speaker 23 (01:53:31):
Of Citi Cake Boxing Gem. And of course, so you've
got a Carlos Allberg it's the next generation coming through.

Speaker 3 (01:53:36):

Speaker 23 (01:53:38):
He's quite some talent.

Speaker 3 (01:53:40):
Love ye beauty in a bit.

Speaker 2 (01:53:42):
All right, and I'll be on the ACC commentary tomorrow
if you want to listen to more of me. But
now talking about cricket, I fully.

Speaker 23 (01:53:51):
Recommend listening to your commentary because it used to be
barbarian stuff, basically baboons and a booth. But right now
you've managed to actually weak the fact out that you
