Speaker 1 (00:00):
Pressing the newsmakers to get the real story. It's Heather
Duplicy Alan Drive with One New Zealand and the power
of satellite mobile news Talk SAIB.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Afternoon. Welcome to the show coming up today. Paul Henry,
Act Party candidate in studio with us after five we
have spent a billion dollars. It's just us in New
Zealand spent a billion dollars in just three months on
getting takeaways delivered to the house. We'll have a chat
to deliver easy about that and the guys on k
road will explain to us why they're worried about the
brawls in the area and what they want done.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
Good Heather Duplicy al.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
How good is that? Paul Henry announcement today? A how
good is that? Act sent out a little media advisory
last night about seven thirty saying there would be a
major announcement. It would not be a policy announcement. No
exclusive will be offered, there will be no embargoed material.
Look immediately, the tech starter coming in is David Seymour resigning.
Has somebody died? Is somebody pregnant? What's going on? I

(00:57):
looked at it and I thought there's a lot of
hype right there in that little media advisory that's better
be good or the chat today is going to be
about damp squibs. But no, Paul Henry is absolutely worth
all of that hype. Paul Henry I think is the
candidate get of the election so far. Don't forget he
was the highest rating host of breakfast television in this country.

(01:18):
He is immensely popular. He probably I think, single handedly
will lift acts vote. At the very least he will
hold it up. Paul brings two things to Act. The
first is his absolute belief in New Zealand. That is authentic.
He's been raving about New Zealand as being paradise for
years now. He's done a TV show about it. When
he says he wants to be in Parliament to sort

(01:38):
out New Zealand's prosperity for the sake of his grandkids,
I absolutely believe that to be true. The second thing
that he brings is entertainment. Actor has been struggling to
get through on the right. The headlines have been largely
hogged by New Zealand. First, Paul Henry I think can
get cut through with only his wit. Go and have
a look at that press conference today, he was very,
very funny. This is not to say that Paul Henry

(02:01):
is going to go down well with everyone. There is
a small group of people out there who absolutely hate
his guts, but that is no loss to ACT because
those people were most probably going to vote Left anyway.
My only hope for Paul is that he doesn't come
to regret this decision, because going into parliament very rarely
ends well for people who have existing profiles and already

(02:22):
successful careers. Somehow, though, I think if that is how
it goes for Paul Henry, Paul's not going to give
a damn anyway, so it probably doesn't matter. Ten out
of ten this announcement is brilliant for ACTS campaign.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Keller Duper see Allen.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Nine ninety two. Is the text understand the text fees
apply obviously. Now listen, we've got to talk about Solar zero.
Solar zero. Do you remember that panel business, Solar zero
that went into liquidation a couple of years back. Its
customers are still having problems today, two years after it
went bust. Many customers are complaining that their power bills
are going up more than they were told, and they're
trapped in these twenty year contracts. Rohan Mitrani is a

(03:00):
Solar zero customer and with us now.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Hi Rohan, Hello, good afternoon.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Hey, So what's going on for you?

Speaker 4 (03:07):
For me?

Speaker 5 (03:08):
We've been trapped for the last I would say about
five ish years since they first started, and we have
been trying to get out for a while and they
have mentioned that you need to pay about five or
seven thousand. This was before they went past, and right
now we don't have any other contact that can advise
or give us any sort of indication about how we
can come out.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Hold on. So even if you wanted to get out
right now, you don't know who to talk to.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
We don't know who to talk to.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
No, can't you just cancel your payments or is it
a direct debit?

Speaker 5 (03:38):
The only thing we worry about is just the credit rating,
because if we don't pay them, then there's a few
people who have mentioned that you reduce your credit score,
and that's something that none of us want either.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Do you know, unless there's a possibility, yeah, carry on,
carry on.

Speaker 5 (03:52):
Sorry, unless there have been mentions about people mentioning that
you can raise a dispute and then stop paying.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
But I haven't won out that.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
Route yet is it worth going down there, root mate?

Speaker 5 (04:02):
Possibly because it's become more of a liability at this stage.
So initially the way it was promised was that it's
a win win for everyone. So solos it makes money
by selling the excess power to the grid and then
we also make a bit of savings. But at the moment,
I'm looking for about three four hundred dollars a month
and it's just me and my messes, and plus the rental.

(04:23):
And this is only for the lighting or if it's
the TVs or the laptop apps because we've got and
I don't have electric vehicle, and even for the cook
even for the cooking and the hot water that's on
the bottled gas.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Hold on, are you telling me that you're paying about
four hundred bucks a month for just nursing and your
lighting and it's just two of you?

Speaker 5 (04:42):
Yes, And then what's the rental? On top of that rental,
I'm paying one hundred and nine. There's wonderful people that
have been paying quite a bit more than that.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Che Okay, okay, So I mean it seems to me
the situation because just explain to me why it is
that you guys are complaining before you actually raise a dispute.

Speaker 5 (05:02):
We're complaining because we're paying quite a bit more than
any regular customer, so we pay for the rental, and
then on top of that, we also paying quite a
substantial amount for the for the.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Understand, I mean, would my bloody be complaining about it
as well if I was you. But what are you
hoping to get from complaining about it?

Speaker 5 (05:20):
We want to get rid of the system because that's
become a liability. First of all, that there's a few
people who've also mentioned that it has caused leaks in
the roof or the condition of the roof has been compromised.
That's one issue that's not a lot of us. That's
although there is some of us. Then the other issues
that we're paying for the rental, which isn't really getting
us any savings, so it's become more of a liability

(05:41):
that we're still paying for that. But then again, we're
paying just as any other customer would.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
Okay, well, listen, good luck with that. I think I
think it's probably I think we've reached the conclusion where
we've realized what you need to do here, which is
raise a dispute. Rowhant, best luck with it Rohan Mettrani
Solar zero customer. Hither I was on the on the
fence about who'd vote for AX announcement, confused, I'm going
to be voting ACTS. Do you know what one of
my friends sent me that text A friend for unnamed friend.
I'm not going to give away anything about this friend

(06:08):
and get in trouble when I do. But this particular
friend has has had been an ACT voter for a bit,
but got really seriously disillusioned with ACT in the last term.
And the text I got today was, Yeah, I think
I'm going to vote for ACT based solely on Paul Henry.
That's why I say he's going to lift their vote
if he doesn't just hold it in place. Heather, I
concur one hundred percent with your comments and Paul Henry,

(06:28):
I have advised my adult's children adult children to listen
a muster. In my opinion, I agree with you.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
Now.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Donald Trump has said in congress formal notification that the
war against Iran is back on and he's counting it
from this time last week, the seventh of July. Why
I'm telling you this is because this starts the clock again.
It gives him another sixty day window during which he
can strike Iran as much as he wants to do
whatever he wants to Iran. Now he's got sixty days
and he doesn't have to go to Congress for any approval.

(06:56):
So if you were hoping that this would be a
short lived thing of made a few days, lock it
in for maybe another couple of months, potentially. Fourteen past four.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
It's the Heather du Bussy Allen Drive Full Show podcast
on iHeartRadio powered by News Talk z'b.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
I've got another poll few. It's not good news for national.
It's not also not bad news for National. It's just
status quo for National. But stand by seventeen past four good.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
Sport with generate celebrating great performances in sport and key we.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Saver against your water grave sports talk hosters of me,
Hello dares.

Speaker 6 (07:30):
He Chris Luckson's not dancing around that pole, is he?

Speaker 7 (07:33):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (07:34):
Oh l l sorry, you're such a little thank you
for amos.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
All right, Hey, talk to me about the cricket. How
that looks to you?

Speaker 6 (07:41):
The cricket looked good. Six thirty started off at a wonderful,
wonderful time. If you're a slightly early riser, The New
Zealander's got beaten the first one, they won the second one.
They're going to the third of five one to Nationals
in the West Indies and they've drawn it level. When
you look at the score, you'd think they were playing
in a really creatreous, mind laden deck, but they weren't.

(08:04):
I think the enthusiasm from some of the bats out
there undid them, and when they were doing it, they
just got a bit too. You look at Jadon Lennox,
he took five wickets. He wasn't sending down buns and
burners in your bag. You really paid, you know, you're
on the radio. Were awards for doing this here? That

(08:28):
put that down? What would Sir Paul Holmes say? Love it?

Speaker 2 (08:31):
At least you put lipstick on.

Speaker 6 (08:33):
Yeah, I'm not going to say that. You said so.
I think really good to see Jadon Lennox as a tweaker.
He's only ever played from his ind offshore. That's what
happens with spinners. But he got the wickets and the
New Zealanders ended up with a comfortable enough when and
Tom Lathan's going to join us tonight on the program
to talk about that later on the Peace on on
that Olie sALS our guest to a KFC keeper and

(08:57):
we're going to look forward to the two games on
the next two days.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
And I wasn't ye yesterday, and really you weren't just
talk to me really quickly about Baarz, about about Brendan mcullum.
What do you make of this?

Speaker 6 (09:06):
What that he got sacked? Yeah, well his team was rubbish.
Isn't that normally?

Speaker 2 (09:11):
Hell, it is this if Stokes he has to go,
so does McCullum situation.

Speaker 6 (09:15):
I'm surprised it didn't all happen at the same time.
This concept of bas ball is hilarious. It started off
really well and all it's done now has sunk them
down to their neck, mounts up their nose and they've
run out of breath. It didn't work. They finally worked
out it didn't work. So the architect of that test
demise is being moved. He's like and he's still got

(09:36):
his Tea twenty job and as one Dany's national job.
It wasn't working. I can see what he was trying
to do, but it failed. It blew up in.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
It might be a bit reductive, but isn't the problem
simply that there was no nuance, like, you can't just
be aggressive all of the time. Sometimes you have to just.

Speaker 6 (09:53):
Test cricket goes over five days and the way it
moves and wobbles and ducks and tweaks, that's the beauty
of test cricket. You just wander out in the middle
and smash it over the boundary. Oh you can, But
does it work you look at England, No it doesn't.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
Now Lydia Coe's coming back to play the news in
a women's Open and you were just telling me it's
been away for ten years. Why has it been gone
for ten years?

Speaker 6 (10:17):
Maybe they couldn't sell sponsorship. I don't know, but I
lack of it in.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Me because in the last ten years we've had this
massive resurgence in women's golf and we've.

Speaker 6 (10:26):
Got a couple of very good, young New Zealanders playing
at that top level. I don't maybe they spent a
lot of time working on the Mens Open and that's
really resuscitated.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
As we like, women like to play golf, but we
don't like to watch women's golf, but we should.

Speaker 6 (10:40):
Why Well, this is just enjoyable as means gold.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
I don't have his father.

Speaker 6 (10:43):
Does that matter?

Speaker 2 (10:44):
Yes, it does?

Speaker 6 (10:45):
Oh, on accuracy. I don't want brute power. It doesn't
make any difference accurate. Really, I'd say if I played
you a video of someone driving a ball that when
a couple one hundred meters, and then it's a video
of someone driving the ball three hundred mejors, you couldn't
tell the difference based on the swing. You couldn't. Of

(11:06):
course you couldn't, So what's so exciting about that?

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Don't know where the greener is.

Speaker 6 (11:12):
Don't say that the stroke itself, it's like, well, no, no,
I don't look at that.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
Doesn't make no, I don't look at the stroke.

Speaker 6 (11:18):
I don't know why you look at anymore. Unzip your
bag and tell me what's in that? Look at that?
But it's at way now. It's at a golf course
outside of Sildeale, just up north of Auckland there and
Lydia co is coming back. Hasn't played see twenty seventeen.
I think it was the last time she played here. Yes,
it's been a while, but it's co Santum with the

(11:39):
European Ladies Tour, so there'll be quality players there too,
and it's fantastic. Can you sell them golf to have that?
And with an achilli of Auckland City. A lot of
Aucklands are going we want a good gold in Queenston.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
But where do they playing? Queens Uder they play Milbrook?

Speaker 6 (11:55):
They played some beautiful places, just freezing cold. And he's
now where the stay because it's not staff left anymore.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Darcy, thank you very much. Look after yourself, Darcy water Grave.
You'll be back at seven. It's four twenty one here.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
What matters the facts over the noise. It's Heather dupless
Ellen Drive with One New Zealand and the power of
satellite mobile news talk said by.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
I have a question for you, is four and a
half like les because by the time it comes to
summer and I'm playing golf, the little boy is going
to be close to five? Is like right on them?
Right on five on the dot? Is that like an
appropriate age to be buying golf clubs? For reason I'm
asking is because Darcy started talking about golf. Then we
were talking about golf and the break we were down
down in Queenstown over the weekend. I'll tell you about

(12:38):
that later. There's a lot of golf going on down
there and I have been because you know how children are, right,
you start having you have kids, and then all of
a sudden, all the stuff that you spend hours doing
you can't do any more because you haven't go time
because you've got to look after the dudes. Right, So
the golf has fallen away massively. So what we've done
is we've taught Iggy to drive a golf cart. And

(13:00):
it works as long as I am constantly vigilant. So
he owns it. A he goes for it on this
thing and he blats and then I say, but you know,
kids have this problem where when you talk to them,
they like the ears are not working. And so I go, okay, gey, buddy, buddy,
slow down, now stop stop stop, stop stop, and he
doesn't stop, and so I have to, like, I have
to kick his foot off the accelerator. So as long

(13:22):
as I'm sitting there and can kick his foot off
the accelerator, it's absolutely fine. So he's got the steering
down pat But now, obviously we have to take it
to the next level. And I'm feeling like five is
about the right age and get him some little kiddies
golf cup clubs, and we can teach him to do
the swing.

Speaker 8 (13:35):
What do you think you get him to caddy for
you get him to carry the bag, you know, help
you do?

Speaker 2 (13:42):
You know what a caddy does? Though ants like he does.
Go okay, So you've got a bit of a gradient,
bit of a beard. You sort of want to aim
to the left that you think he's going to be
good at that. He's going to be like smack it
MANA Yeah, that's right, lord, he'll be baz ball on
the golf course. Here's your poll for twenty six it's
the orange. He read research pole as I said, it's
not that good for National. So Labour is the biggest

(14:03):
party on thirty four percent. They have come back. This
is the trend I've been telling you about. They've come
back one point six points. National is down two point
one points as well, though they are now sitting on
twenty eight point seven. Now I don't feel like this
is another drop for National. I feel like this pole
is just catching up where National actually sits, which is
around twenty nine thirty. Like, I think we should have

(14:23):
to get use to this, right, they are going to
bleed a lot of MPs at the election. New Zealand
vers is up again a percentage point, sitting on eleven
and a half the Greens are up just a tiny
bit to ten and a half. Actor is up about
one point to seven point eight. Let's say they're eight,
Opportunity Party four point seven, up two point seven, Maori
Party down a point to two point three. Who Cares.
Coalition government wins sixty one and the Left is on

(14:45):
fifty nine. Hipkins is the most preferred prime minister on
twenty four percent, Luxen is on twenty percent. New Zealand
First Winston Peters is on thirteen percent, and then the
Right Track Wrong Track, Wrong Direction for the country forty
seven percent, Right Direction for the Country thirty five percent.
Excuse me. What I think is interesting, apart from the
fact that it's not good for National and RNZ is
catching up in this poll, is that Hipkins is clearly

(15:07):
worried about what's going on with Opportunity because today he
has told Left voters not to vote for Opportunity. He
said it's a risk. The first risk is that Opportunity
goes with National, not with Labor. The second risk is
that it's a wasted vote, they don't get five percent
and then the Left loses that. Keep an eye on that,
because he obviously thinks they're there he thinks they're in parliament.

(15:28):
I'm starting to think they're in parliament as well. Okay, listen,
Murray Olds is with us shortly. He's going to tell
us more about why that clock went back twenty years.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
Newstalks V, the day's newspakers talk to Heather First, Heather
do for thee Ellen Drive with One New Zealand and
the Power of satellite Mobile news Talks V.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
Are you allied to find out that we spent one
point one billion dollars on takeout delivered to our doors
in just the first three months of this year? Because
this is an alarmingly high figive for us? What is
I don't even want to try and do the maths
right now. It turns out to be quite a lot
of money, doesn't it. I And what I'm talking about here,
by the way, is I did ask the guys as
the guy, are we talking about groceries because that would

(16:18):
totally make sense because that comes to my door as well.
Now everything comes to my door like the old days. No,
we're just talking about Uber Eats and deliver Easy and
door Dash and the pizza shop down the road delivering
to here in the fish and chip shop and stuff
like that. I'm not alarmed by this at all, because
for some reason I just am leaning into this really
heavily myself. If you just cannot be fat cocking and
toast is not going to cut it. This is a

(16:39):
fantastic little life hack, isn't it. But what I'm surprised
by is the fact that this has only been around
for ten years. When you think about it, this time
ten years ago, we didn't have this stuff. It has
taken off in a big way, hasn't it. Anyway, We're
going to talk to deliver Easy about this. They'll be
with us just after quarter past five. Right now, it's
twenty four away from five.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
It's the world wires on newstalks drive.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
The US has launched more strikes on Iran. It's a
response to the Iranian attacks on UAE ships in the
Strait of Homosius.

Speaker 5 (17:07):
Trump, they made a deal.

Speaker 9 (17:09):
They broke it probably ten times, and they killed a
lot of people. They killed our people. So we're doing
another d major attack tonight. They want to make a deal.
They came back. We made a deal two days ago,
and they want to make a deal.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
Trumpbulls this says the US will charge a toll on
any ship transiting the Strait. Here's how the IRGC, which
is the terrorists over in Iran, has responded to.

Speaker 10 (17:32):
That we will under no circumstances allow the United States
to interfere in the management of the strait or forore moves.
The armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran will
deal forcefully with any disruption to the passage of commercial
vessels and oil tankets by the invading and pirate US military.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
And finally, speaking of golf, a black bear in British
Columbia has decided to take up the golf as well.
The bear wandered up to a golf cart at Golden
Eagle Golf Cloth golf Club, had a bag of clubs
off the back of it, took off into the woods.
The golfer who owned the clubs pleaded with the bear
to give them back, while his friends all after their
heads off.

Speaker 6 (18:10):
That's my club man.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
The incident was captured on video, so the guy's wife
might actually believe him when he tells your hes to
buy new golf clubs because the bear stole his old ones.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
International Correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance Peace of Mind
for New Zealand business.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
Murray Old Doozzie correspondents with us.

Speaker 11 (18:31):
Hey, muz, that's the best excuse I've ever heard.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
That's wonderful, I know, and it's always wonderful when it
turns out to actually be true.

Speaker 11 (18:37):
True.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
Now, listen, tell me what's going on in the childcare centers.

Speaker 11 (18:42):
This is a dreadful, dreadful case, one of the very
worst at police state in fac they've ever come across.
There's a thirty five year old fellow in Sydney who's
alleged to have salted dozens and dozens and dozens of
young children preschool and this very early primary school alier
these kids sexually assaulted them over a sixteen year period,

(19:04):
five daycare centers that police know about at this point.
He's also facing more than one hundred and sixty counts
heather of producing child abuse material involving these young these
young children, and then police said they had evidence of
him sharing this stuff with an individual overseas. Now they
are working as a fip for police with their state

(19:25):
counterparts here in New South Wales, but are also involving
at least one jurisdiction overseas because this is it's grotesque,
It's on an industrial scale that police simply haven't seen before.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
Mus I see that you guys are claiming Sam Neil
as an honorary Australian.

Speaker 11 (19:44):
Well, he's made I tell you what. He I made
a mistake this morning. I'm writing stories about it because
the tributes to this guy are just astonishing. And I
was I was picked up by a listener, hang on,
he wasn't born in New zeal And. He was born
in Northern Ireland, and I said, oh yeah, but he
was raised in New Zealand, so you can butt out

(20:06):
our very own But the fact of the matter is
this guy, Sam Neil, was absolutely revered from global sid
I mean global, people like Spielberg said, this guy is
one of the best I ever worked with. George Miller,
the mad Max Genius said he worked with Sam Neil
over thirty years ago when Dead Calm came out with

(20:27):
Sam Neil, and of course at Nicole Kidman, he said,
the nicest guy you'll ever meet, and what a professional actor.
David Wenham he said, he's lying on the phone to
Sam Neil a couple of weeks back and he said, man,
you sound so good thinking to outlive all of us.
But he was cancer cancer from the cancer have gone.

(20:48):
So what has taken Sam Neil at seventy eight. We're
not sure yet, No doubt was the money, I thank
you very much. It was not the power responded so
absolutely on a pedestal, one of the nicest guys in
what could be a pretty crappy industry if it was
backstanding and what have you? Not a civil pad word

(21:08):
about Sandbille, just a real kidal.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
Yeah it really was. Okay, what happened with the clock?
Whiye to go back twenty years?

Speaker 11 (21:14):
Let me tell you this. Okay, this is a piece
of equipment. Where's mon notes here a piece of equipment
that that costs around twenty two thousand Australian dollars. Right, Yeah,
it ended its lot. And they've got hundreds and hundreds
of these things all over the country, right, and they
should have been replaced ten years ago when they were

(21:35):
sort of at the end of life, these things staggering
on twenty two a. This is a company that reported
a profit last year of two point three billion dollars
was the profit? Okay? They went to do it. Software upgrade,
This bungled software upgrade, got hold of these old clocks
and simply wound them back twenty years, not just one,

(21:58):
scores and hundreds of these things all over the apparently,
and what this said, these things should have been replaced
at twenty years old. They were out of May ten
years ago. Telsa's had these things still working until now
and so Telster has had these. Buddy Fred princetone was
telling a time at the quarry from these things. Awry
Device and Telstra and others are going to be up

(22:19):
before the setup this week and they're gonna have a
lot of questions to answer.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
Quite right, Marz, thanks very much, look after yourself. That's
Murray Old's Australia Correspondents eighty anyway.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
From five Heather do for the Ellen.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
Yes, So it turns out this morning it was revealed
that Sam sam Neil died of pneumonia in the end,
which is quite that's quite. I mean, do you feel
like that and pneumonia? I know somebody who died of
pneumonia last month, not particularly old, and then I know
somebody who almost died of pneumonia earlier this year, more
so not particularly old. It feels like the kind of
thing that you think modern medicine would have sorted out

(22:50):
for us. But I'm very sorry to hear of the
passing of Samuel yesterday because obviously, you know, everybody is
saying that, you don't need me to say it. Brilliant actor,
great Kiwi. I really liked it. I don't think it
was necessarily mutual, to be honest, but I really liked
him because he reminded me of my dad, because both
of them that the same kind of person born in

(23:10):
the UK, come here as a very young person and
just become obsessively attached to the land like real men
of the land, but not in a kind of like
in a classy way like you you can just like
you know, read's poetry, listens to classical music, enjoys a
beautiful red wine, but loves the land kind of god.
My dad was a bush man. He liked hunting in

(23:30):
the bush. Sam Neil was crazy about Central Otago. I
was reading a lot about sam Neil today, as I'm
sure many of us were. I saw this quote from him,
and I loved it. He said, you take your work seriously,
but you never ever take yourself seriously. That's where madness lies.
And isn't that the truth? Be serious about what it
is that you do take it seriously, work hard, but

(23:51):
never ever think that you are a big deal. You're
not a big deal. You're replaceable. Your work is the
important thing. I thought that was brilliant. I think it
probably summed up what a lot of people say about him.
That attitude. Messages have come in for him. Obviously, as
Steven Spielberg has said, really saddened by the news, Sam
was exceptionally collaborative. It was a stretch for him to
play a character who acted as though children were messy

(24:12):
and smelly, because this is the opposite of the loving
father he was to his children. Killian Murphy says, like
everyone who knew and worked with Sam I admired him,
adored him an equal measure. He's one of the kindest, funniest,
gentlest people, one of the finest actors. Rip Kylie Minogue
just said on I think was on the Instagram veil
Sam Nicole. Kidman has sent out a message calling him

(24:32):
a friend for life. Laura Dern obviously a beloved lifetime friend.
And so it goes Australians are trying to nick him,
but you know they'll try it on every single time.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
Paul Henry acts party candidate with us after five thirteen
away from five and barries with us. High Barry, Good afternoon, Heather, Right,
do you want to talk about Paul Henry first?

Speaker 12 (24:55):
How on well the excitement that you've expressed this afterday,
and maybe I should well, I wasn't going to talk
about it first, but I've known Paul Henrieville at least
forty years. We've worked in the same industry for many
years together, so I know him very well. The only
reservation I would have about Paul coming into politics is

(25:17):
whether in fact he will be able to withstand the
strictures of being in parliament. It's not the easiest place
to work. It's pretty mundane. Sometimes it looks quite exciting
from the outside, but if you're in there trying to
do a job the late nights the early mornings, his

(25:38):
super yacht will have to be dry docked, no doubt,
for the next three years.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
And that's fair. But somehow he doesn't. I just I
don't imagine he's going to do the graft of politics.
He's their glory guy. All right, he's got to do
the graft, but gay does he have to do well?

Speaker 12 (25:52):
What he said was he said, look, he expects to
be elected, being given a fairly high place on the
Act Party list, and he hopes to be a minister. Well,
if you hope to be a minister, you've really got
to do the hard yards. Oh yeah, that's a really
hard job.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
But you don't expect ministers to sit in the House
until ten o'clock at night just minding the Act Party bore.

Speaker 12 (26:13):
It depends on whether they're they're promoting a bill that's
before the House of.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
The fair enough to be there, I was imagining. I
don't think he's going to do the kind of grafty,
grindy work that you have to sit there in Parliament,
you know, knittang while you listen to boring speech.

Speaker 12 (26:26):
Well, you know, look, everybody has to do that to
some extent. Paul's never worked in the Parliamentary Press Gallery,
so he's never really seen Parliament upfront and the way
it works. And that's taking nothing away from him at all.
He's interviewed many MPs. Sometimes he gets the name of
them a bit wrong. When it comes to Indian people like.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
Dixit Sorry what keV keV was there at the time
at TVNZ. What was the actual pronunciation of Sheila's name
in the end or was it dick shit? Was it?

Speaker 4 (27:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (27:04):
It was?

Speaker 12 (27:04):
Somebody else yelled out from the side when he did
say that, because he the thing about Paul Henry that
that I've liked, probably more about his personality, having known
him as his infectious laughter. I mean, he can't stop
himself laughing when something ridiculous happened.

Speaker 6 (27:23):
A bigger person get.

Speaker 12 (27:25):
He's certainly got profile and he will certainly make no
doubt waves for act against Shane Jones in the house.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
For example, who's a better get, Paul Henry or Michael Laws.

Speaker 12 (27:40):
Well, I would think Paul Henry, I mean, he hasn't
got the the well I was going to say, dodgy background.
Michael laws hasn't either. He's quite a bright, bright guy.
But well, yes, that's right now. I mean, none of
us have absolutely tell me about the Chin white background,
talking about the Chinese, changing the topic completely. The Chinese

(28:01):
are very upset at New Zealand. New Zealand's reaffirmed its
decision or the decision of an arbitration tribunal convened under
the United Nations that no legal basis for China's expensive
maritime claims in the South China scene. Now New Zealand,
they're celebrating the tenth anniversary of this particular declaration. It's

(28:24):
being led by the United States, and New Zealand signed
up to it along with fourteen other countries. And I
guess diplomatically you would say, look, we trade they are
the biggest trading partners China. Why did we need to
sign up to the tenth anniversary declaration? Why what good

(28:46):
would it do New Zealand. Well, certainly, if you look
the ambassador of the Chinese ambassador in Wellington, he's none
too happy that the New Zealand government had put its
signature to it. He said, basically, is not just not
acceptable to China, it's violating China's interests. And he said

(29:09):
it's not what's been discussed in the past by leaders
of both countries. So he believes that New Zealand stepped
outside what the Chinese would expect of it. And you know,
we shouldn't be cowered by China, there's no doubt about that.
But we've also got to look after a hip pocket
and that's the money that the Chinese do put into

(29:30):
it by the FTA, the.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
Right listen on the R and Z read research pile.
I've run through the numbers just before. What do you
make of National sitting on twenty nine here, Well, it's.

Speaker 12 (29:38):
The lowest that they've been at in this particular poll
since Chris Luxen has been the leader. Look, they just
haven't been able to get traction, have they, the National
Party and at the expense of New Zealand First, which
is picking up points as we go along, and you
know that obviously is going to do quite well in

(30:00):
the upcoming election. But this poll still shows that the
coalition would be returned with the majority of two seats.
Not a great maturity, but nevertheless enough. But the problem
is you've got the Opportunity Party. They're at now four
point seven percent I think in this pole, and they
will change the whole dynamic if they crack that five percent,

(30:23):
And this pole is dependent on the Moldi Party, which
I don't think they will get, but getting three electorate seats,
you know, yeah, it's still very.

What we like about the two surveys.

Speaker 14 (31:01):
The PMO and the PSI is that they one of
the earliest indicators of how the economy is going. Businesses
are saying that, you know, customers are starting to part
with some of their money. The services result is important
because of course it's seventy percent of our economy, but
the manufacturing figure, which was the highest in five years,
showed that for manufacturers it was one of the strongest

(31:22):
results they've had.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
On the golf here, who is this?

Speaker 7 (31:33):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (31:33):
Who this is? Because I don't know. I'm not asking
you to guess something I know the answer to. Don't
know Here that my son is a PGA professional and
he started playing golf with three, small town Central Otago,
go for it. Sarah, so who knows? Sarah is the
mum of somebody who comes from Central Otago who's now
a PGA professional. Who is that? I mean, I'm probably

(31:56):
dreaming if I think Eggie's going to become a PGA professional.

Speaker 4 (31:58):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
Is kind of sporty, but I'm not that sporty anyway,
heither buy him some golf clubs. Didn't Tiger Woods have
a set of two years old? What was there that
you told me? And he shot at what.

Speaker 8 (32:11):
I'll have to look it up on wiki again, but
apparently he was introduced to golf at the age of two,
and then he was actually playing by the age.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
Of three, and he was shooting like fantastic scores that
adults would be super pleased with.

Speaker 8 (32:23):
You do that receipt forty eight over nine holes at
the Navy course at the age of three.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
I mean, can you even do a forty eight of it?

Speaker 8 (32:29):
He was in Golf Digest and on the ABC TV
network by five.

Speaker 2 (32:33):
Yeah, I mean, we're sitting the bar very high here
at newstalksz'd be drive for what we're expecting.

Speaker 8 (32:38):
You've got all you have to do? He quick, get it.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
Right now, right now. Somebody needs to sort it out anyway. Listen,
there appears to be, at least according to a study
that's just been done in New Zealand, a large sorry,
a large study, there seems to be a link between
high levels of nitrates and drinking water and pre term births.

Speaker 7 (32:55):
Now.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
One of the studies co authors is Michael Baker. He's
going to be with us after five o'clock. He'll be
immediately after Paul Henry, the new ACT party candidate who's
in the studio with us next News Talks.

New Zealand and the Power of Satellite Mobile News Talks dB.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
Good afternoon. Paul Henry has announced he's standing for ACTS
at the election. He expects a high list ranking and
he wants to be a minister. And Paul is with
us now, Hello Paul.

Speaker 16 (33:50):
That was a very good summation of the situations. A
high list. He's going to be a minister of what
love it? We're in I know. I look, I haven't
even thought. I haven't even thought. And look, can I
be honest? If we are successful act, if we get
our way, they'll be far less ministers. So in a way,

(34:12):
take a job and cut it immediately.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
Way you may have to sacrifice it. Why are you
doing this, Paul?

Speaker 16 (34:17):
Because I really care about the country. I mean I
really do, and how can I best use the next
few years? I thought, what is the best thing I
can do for my grandchildren? And it sounds a bit soppy,
but what is the best thing I can do for them?
I would love them to be brought up in a
country that has the same morals and views and ideals

(34:38):
and society that I was brought up in New Zealand.
And it just isn't like that. Now, what would you do?

Speaker 2 (34:43):
What would be the number one thing you'd want done?

Speaker 16 (34:47):
I suppose put simply, the number one thing I would
want done is smaller government, bigger economy, Bolster the economy,
Shrink the government. But you know, if you say number
one one thing, what I'd like to do is change
the aspirations of New Zealanders because they've been ground down.

(35:07):
You know, people are being offered excuses for not doing
well before they haven't even not done well.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
You know what caused that, and you have to know
what caused it to fix it.

Speaker 4 (35:17):
Yeah, you do.

Speaker 16 (35:18):
What caused that is successive left wing governments offering people
a life. You know you deserve this, You need to
be looked after. We need to do this for you,
rather than we want to create an environment where you
can do the best on your own. You can work
the hardest for yourself and we will applaud your success.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
So do you then need to remove some of the
entitlements in order to encourage success?

Speaker 1 (35:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (35:44):
Which ones?

Speaker 16 (35:45):
I've only been a candidate for one day.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
And you've already made up one policy.

Speaker 16 (35:50):
Oh, don't even talk about that. But which One's a
tricky thing?

Speaker 2 (35:52):
Come back to which ones would you take away? Which
ones seem the most obvious to take away?

Speaker 16 (35:57):
Okay, So rather than talk about specific entitlements, I know
you'd love me to do that, and you're very good
at your job. What I'd want to talk about is vibes.
So what are the encouragements that are disincentives? The encouragements
not to perform, not to excel, not to take pride
in achieving, for yourself and your family. Those are the

(36:19):
ones we need to make slightly slightly out of reach,
just slightly, because you know both of us. This is
the gray irony. Of course, in the house, Almost everyone
in the house, I would imagine, has a dream of
the same country, you know, a country with the same standards,
a country that cares for people that really genuinely can't

(36:40):
care for themselves to a high standard, a country with
world class education, world class healthcare, et cetera, et cetera,
et cetera. It's just that different parties have different ideas
about how you get there. And my idea, my views,
my philosophies are perfectly in line with that. That is

(37:00):
the only party that they're perfectly in.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
So I've been thinking about this a little bit because
in the UK they're having a very robust discussion about
what you do with benefits and cutting benefits, and because
it's just taking the mickey over there. Do we need
to have that discussion here?

Speaker 16 (37:12):
Yep, Well, we definitely do. But you know, we've already
proved not to be great at having discussions because maybe
we've left it a little bit too late, you know.
I mean that there are discussions that we've tried to
have which have turned a bit ugly, and that is
a great shame because they were only discussions, and I
think we need to talk about that in an open

(37:33):
forum and we need to say, Look, where do we
want to be when my twins are going for a
job or when they're in senior school? You know, where
do we want to be as a country? What is
the message we want to be sending that generation, because
the message that we're currently giving is really not good.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
Do you want to be leader?

Speaker 16 (37:53):
Because I got it.

Speaker 2 (37:55):
Former parliamentarian that said this is the deal that he struck.
Clearly Paul has asked for leadership in order to be
a candidate.

Speaker 16 (38:01):
Who is this this point?

Speaker 2 (38:02):
I can't names. I can't name names.

Speaker 16 (38:04):
What kind of interview is this?

Speaker 2 (38:06):
It's called a sauce.

Speaker 16 (38:09):
Honestly, look at me. I'm an old husk of a man.
I look, I can't have my eye on too many balls.
And I don't want to be leader. You know that
is not my thing. I want to make a difference.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
Are you prepared to do all the boring hard work
where you have to sit in the house and just
mind the place still ten at night?

Speaker 16 (38:26):
See, I was Okay, when you said hard work boring hard.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
Work, I mean you probably have to play on Instagram
for four hours.

Speaker 16 (38:33):
On I know, I don't do candy crush. I've never
got it. I never got it. But there's this particular
game that I've become hooked on where you just you
identify the colored ball and you put it down a slot.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
Like like like a like a brick building thing.

Speaker 16 (38:48):
It's sort of but it's balls not breaking.

Speaker 2 (38:50):
Remember what it's called.

Speaker 16 (38:51):
No mind the text. I haven't got my phone. It's
it's just something. It's like, you know, put the colored
ball on the slot on the roof.

Speaker 2 (39:00):
Today in the press conference, you made up a policy
we decided you wanted to, and I liked it. A
world Clink cancer It was brilliant, a world class cancer hospital.

Speaker 16 (39:09):
Yeah, it opens next wednesday.

Speaker 2 (39:11):
If you got in trouble with the party for just spitballing.

Speaker 16 (39:14):
I half by thought that I might, But I was
answering a general question, you know, and a perfectly legitimate question,
and I didn't make it up on the spot. It's
something I've been thinking about for many years, and in
fact said at the press conference that during my program
Rebuilding Paradise, during COVID, which I only launched because the
government told me that I was a non essential human being,

(39:36):
and I thought, how do I become essential? I know,
I'll think of a TV show and instantly I could
drive anyway. That was my That was one of a
couple of policies that I was pushing then and it's
never disappeared because you know, you've got to be very
careful in New Zealand using the term think big because

(39:57):
that was tried by a national government many decades and
still rankers. But we have to think big, yeah, you know,
we have to feel about how this country should be
and could be. There are no insurmountable obstacles stopping us
from being the most valued country on earth to live,
you know, the most prized possession. But we're not, and

(40:19):
that is a bit of a tragedy. You only get
to live once. Wouldn't it be great to put in
some effort and live in the country that is the
most valued country to live?

Speaker 2 (40:27):
How long are you going to give it? Three years
or six years?

Speaker 16 (40:28):
Sex promise No, here's the caveat right, give it to me.
If the worst happens as you suggested, and I find
I'm sitting in the house in the middle of the
night listening to some old duffer clack on, and it
doesn't look good for the next term.

Speaker 4 (40:44):
Maybe three.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
Okay, that's fair enough. I wouldn't want to do that either, Paul.
Thank you for coming in and be sta lack in
the campaign. Thanks so much, cap Poorn Henry Act Party
campaign campaign candidate Rather fourteen past five. Hither I Love, Love,
Love the Sky, Heather Gez, I love Paul Henry. Hither
I love Paul Henry. Hither the is called ball salt.
I also love it.

Speaker 7 (41:02):
Hither.

Speaker 2 (41:03):
I always thought Paul Henry was a dick, but he
sounds like he's really onto what is wrong with New Zealand.
Heare The politics has just got more hilarious. He's going
to mess up and it's gonna be brilliant. It's gonna
be funny. Whatever happens, it's just going to be laughing.
And do you know what, He's not going to care,
So don't worry about it too much. He's fine. Seventeen
past five. Now New Zealand has spent a collective one
point one billion dollars how about that on takeaways in

(41:25):
the first three months of this year, the likes of
Uber Eats, deliver Easy, and door Dash and so on.
Tim Robinson is a co founder of deliveriesy and with
us High.

Speaker 17 (41:33):
Tim, Hey, that's nice to talk.

Speaker 2 (41:35):
It's good to talk to you.

Speaker 7 (41:36):
Now.

Speaker 2 (41:36):
I heard apparently there was a sudden surge in just
the last year. Have you seen that.

Speaker 18 (41:41):
Yeah, there's been a bit of a I guess I
kicked back out as the economy's maybe picked up a
little bit. Yeah, we've certainly seen it coming through.

Speaker 3 (41:47):
What's going on?

Speaker 2 (41:48):
Why are we so into this? I mean, like at
one point one billion dollars and three months is a
huge amount of money.

Speaker 18 (41:53):
Yeah, I mean I'm certainly chipping in. I think the convenience, Mate,
we all like it. But yeah, I think there's a
way of being convenience trends and I think food there
has been a huge.

Speaker 11 (42:04):
Onund the minutes.

Speaker 18 (42:05):
Yeah, it's been an interesting watch that. It's Yeah, definitely growing,
made even everyone times a little bit taugh. People seem
to like the convenience and the comfort.

Speaker 2 (42:12):
Well, because it's a little treat, isn't it. Like it's
that doesn't have to be super expensive. It can be
fifty bucks, but you can treat yourself and it can
come to you. If you've got little kids, you don't
have to leave the house. It's just brilliant, isn't it.
I love it. I've really leaned into this. Why should
I go deliver Easy over Uber eats?

Speaker 18 (42:27):
Though, Oh mate, great question. Well a cue you owned,
so we started here in twenty sixteen, so it's a
complete his young owner, our proud of business. So if
you're spending here, you're looking after local people, local jobs.

Speaker 4 (42:40):
And I mean, yeah, I think in the last.

Speaker 18 (42:42):
Four years we've probably plaid twice the text over in
his yelands, which is a very crazy step for that.

Speaker 2 (42:48):
In the of itself, I like, look after yourself, Tim,
Thanks very much. Tim Robinson, Deliver Easy co founder. When
I was in Queenstown over the weekend, and I'm going
to tell you about that in a minute, I was like,
do you know what, I can't be bothered with rooms
and I can't you know, and I can't go out.
I can't bother going out, can't be bother going and
getting anything. And you're in a hotel, so you're not
really going to make anything, are you. So I ordered

(43:09):
the Uber eats and he doesn't want to hear that.
I ordered the deliveries in and they dropped it off
at the reception, and the reception jumped in a golf
cart and brought it up. So I say, how good
is that? It's like this is a game changer. Listen,
bad news. Dog attack in central Hastings. One person was
seriously injured. This happened across from the city's clock tower
after about around about just after two o'clock, just less

(43:30):
hapus two. They've got the dog. They loaded the dog.
The animal control officers loaded the dog into the van.
It's an American staffordship at bull Cross. Awesome kind of dog.
Really great. Here's the absolute little sting in the tail
of this story. That dog has been impounded twice in
May this year for roaming impounded. Come on, guys, let's

(43:51):
step up what we're doing with the dogs here, because
that's avoidable, right that dog, nasty dog out there roaming
twice this year, impounded twice. Why is it even out
there able to attack someone? Now, of course we're going
to go through the prosecution thing. If I was in
charge of dogs in this country, take it out the
back and shoot it immediately. Twenty past five.

thanks very much for parts. That's actually some interesting information.
Five twenty three. Can I just rave about Queenstown for
a minute? I just in fact, it's going to be
more than a minute, because it deserves more than a minute. So,
as I was just saying, we took the kids down
to Queenstown for the long weekend to see some real
snow because the little boy loves snow at the moment.
And Franklin, do you even need an excuse to go

(44:49):
to Queenstown. No, you don't, So we just went to
Queenstown because it's Queenstown and it was a long weekend. Anyway,
Like every time that I'm down there, I was just
blown away by the place, so proud to see the
foreign enjoying it. Airburn is that how you pronounce it? Airburn?
Highly recommend Airburn is a we development that the Winton
guys have done. It's on an old farm. They put
a whole bunch of restaurants out. There's a whole bunch

(45:10):
of stuff going out on there. Every single restaurant was
fully booked. And the ones that we tried on Friday night.
The ice rink, they put a little ice skating rink
heaving there was a weight to get on it. The
midwinter Christmas decorations were up. It was the perfect kind
of place for a family to go to get an
evening meal, but run the kids out a little bit beforehand.
This experience up the mountain absolutely brilliant, It was efficient.

(45:33):
It was just wonderful to be up there. Heaps of snow.
I didn't go on the gondola on Sunday. All the
rest of the family went on the gondola, but they
say it was a little bit pricey for Kiwis about
seventy bucks per person. But the foreigners are not going
to care about that. So if that's what the gondola
needs to charge, that's what it needs to charge. Beautiful
up there, they said, heaps of construction going on going
to be even better. Arrowtown as beautiful and perfect, quaint

(45:55):
and gorgeous as it always is. The accommodation worth every
single dollar that we spent on it. The food everywhere
we went was quality. There wasn't a disappointing meal. The
coffee was excellent. I realized that the good people of
Queenstown get a little bit annoyed with us. We're a
bit looney, aren't. We all descend on them and en
mass in the school holidays and they can't get around
the place, and they get a bit grumpy. But there

(46:16):
is a reason why we do this. Because Queenstown is brilliant.
It is a world class destination. We are lucky to
have it. We should all at some point save our
dollars and go and visit there for a weekend or
a week or a couple of weeks if we can
afford it. I am proud to have foreigners experience that
part of the country and spend their dollars in Queenstown.
I love it. Will come back ever du for see, Allen,

(46:39):
I'm got to talk about the surcharges. Can I just say?
Somebody says on a text problem as Paul Henry wants
to help New Zealand, but he's only prepared to give
it three years and maybe six. No chance. He's a
side show, a bloody funny but still a sideshow. Now
here's the thing. I'm trying to put my finger on
what I feel about Paul Henry. I honestly don't feel
Paul is going to be the one doing the league work,
do you know what I mean? All the hard graft

(47:01):
that the brand new MPs have to do. I don't
see him as that kind of guy. I don't reckon
he would have signed up if that was what he
was expected to do. I feel like he's there. He's
their optimism guy. He's their hype guy. And we love hype, right,
We love it when people talk us up, tell us
how good we are, and remind us to kind of
lift our heads a bit. Luxon tried to do it

(47:22):
a bit there with his Get New Zealand to get
the mojo back. You know, he tried it, but it
didn't really work. He's got dragged down by all the
other stuff that was going on in politics when you're
the prime minister. Other parties have tried, you know, you
can kind of list a bunch of people who've tried
to do it. It hasn't really worked, and the Acts Party
at the moment, I think suffers from a little bit
of a negativity bias. So I think it's good to
have Paul Henry in there for them just to like

(47:44):
lift their spirits. But I reckon he's going to be
He's basically going to turn into New Zealand's motivational speaker,
which I think will reflect well on the Act Party
and it'll be good for them anyway. It was keep
an eye on that. That's my prediction. Not a lot
of hard work, but a lot of good hype which
may actually be very very good for us to hear.
Talk to the huddle about it when they're with us shortly, surcharges.
Now get a load of this. Okay, the rental car,

(48:08):
just booking the rental car for Queenstown, the credit card
cost was eighteen dollars. The accommodation just the credit card
cost was forty nine dollars. What am I up to now?
I'm up to sixty seven The flights in New Zealand,
you absolute buggers. The credit card charge on my flights
was eighty nine dollars. What am I up to now
is I can't do maths, so that looked like a

(48:30):
five I paid one hundred and sixty five dollars, am
I right? Yeah, maybe one hundred and fifty five. My
maths is a bit dodgy. You just round it down
one hundred and fifty dollars on credit card charges just
to go on holiday. Now that I don't like the
surcharge ban. I don't support it at all because that's
going to force the small small businesses to absorb that stuff.
But big guys like in New Zealand, come on, you

(48:53):
have an a laugh, aren't you? News is next.

Speaker 1 (49:00):
Ountability analysis answers here what matters? It's Heather Duple see

Speaker 2 (49:19):
Heather totally occur with you re air Burn. It's stunning
and the texts on Airburn are just going off at
the most brilliant say that's I mean, honestly, that kind
of thing is exactly what you need if you if
you're a parent, she needs somewhere to let the loons go,
just go, and then you go eat, and then you
go home for a bath and then everybody's happening. You've
had a couple of nice drinks and you're feeling great
about it as well. Listen, the huddle is standing by

(49:41):
ive got Mark Sainsbury, Morris Williamson with us this evening,
and I've got some fantastic news for you on business confidence,
which is what we need and we'll deal with that
after six o'clock. Right now, time is twenty four away
from six now. There are calls for twenty four hour
policing on k Road in Auckland after two bruls this
past weekend. Both of the incidents happened around the Mercury
Lane station is where the you CRL is going to

(50:01):
be kadung A Harpy Precinct Collective Chair and William Kern
is with us on this. Hey William, good, how are you?
I'm very well mate. What's going on? Who's brawling?

Speaker 3 (50:11):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (50:11):
Mate?

Speaker 19 (50:12):
Look, it's just a series of incidents as I think
that we've gotten to the point where we actually need
to address some of the issues and concerns up here.
And you know, finally we've sort of released this sort
of statement media statement to get some sort of traction
and address these issues that we're experiencing.

Speaker 2 (50:31):
Okay, so the two brawls that you've had in the
last three nights. Is that not unusual? Is that what's
normally happening?

Speaker 19 (50:37):
Well, hey, look, you know you've had that incident on
Sad Day and then you had that major incident last year.
I think if I recall rightly, just down a further
up K Road heading up to Ponsby Road, and then
now you've got this incident that happened last night down
the Mercury Lane. I think two people, one was critically injured,

(50:59):
and we just got to the point now you know,
enough's enough.

Speaker 2 (51:02):
Yeah, fair enough. I'm just trying to establish who it
is that's fighting, have you Is it? Because I know
K Road has got a lot of homeless issues. Is
it homeless people fighting? Are they druggies fighting? Are they
gang members coming in and fighting?

Speaker 7 (51:13):
What is it?

Speaker 19 (51:15):
Look, it's a combination of things. And I'm glad you
brought up here the fact. You know, the narrative is
always around about the homeless, and you know that's not
the case up in K Road. If anything, those that
are actually creating the issues and anti social behavior, drug dealing,
drug taking are actually being housed by some of the

(51:35):
actual social services that are within the actual Calunga Happy
Road area itself. So I mean too often we default
to that homelessness theme and look, that's not.

Speaker 6 (51:48):
The case at all.

Speaker 2 (51:49):
Okay, Now, the CRL station opening up is most likely,
I imagine, going to make it a little bit worse,
isn't it, because it's going to provide shelter for people
who want to be out doing drugs all times the day.
So is that why you want the police there at
twenty four seven?

Speaker 19 (52:03):
Well, it's that, and it's also addressing some of the
actual services, like the actual toilet that's adjacent to the
actual main Mercury Lane opening there where it's it's become
the hub of actually drug dealing, drug taking. We've got
prostitution going on and antisocial behavior just up the road there.
It seems to draw in that crowd that's actually causing

(52:28):
the issues and challenges that we've got in play.

Speaker 2 (52:30):
Have you talked to the cops about this?

Speaker 19 (52:33):
Oh, look, you know, we acknowledge the police presence has increased,
and yes we have. You know, there's been numerous call
outs and look, I can only sort of refer them back,
refer you back to the police for all the stats
on that. But yeah, look, there's no failure in us
reporting one five or one one one when there's incidence.

(52:53):
So yeah, credit to credit due there there, but it's insufficient.
You know, we need specual when it's coming out. You know,
we've got the opening very soon. And that's the confidence.
And it's all about confidence, being able to feel like, yeah,
I'm going to use this train station, get on, get off,
whether you're visitor, whether you're a resident, whether your business

(53:15):
owner or customer. We need to have the confidence that
we're going to be able to use these train stations
and be safe.

Speaker 2 (53:25):
Yeah, fair enough, Hey listen, thanks very much, William, look
after yourself and besta luck of this. William Kern Cat

Speaker 7 (53:38):
Total of us.

Speaker 2 (53:39):
This evening we have Morris Williams and Auckland councilor former
National Party minister Mark Sainsbury broadcast. Hello you too, Paul
Henry Morris. What do you reckon?

Speaker 17 (53:49):
I think it's quite good. Actually, I've always been of
the mind that if All Black Team only had fifteen wingers,
they would lose every match. You've got to have a
bit of everything. You've got to have people that are
very thoughtful, people that do hard work in the back room,
and you've got to have people that can get out
and communicate and create some excitement. And that's the area

(54:11):
where Paul Henry I think excels. So he'll be dreadful
in Parliament sitting there on the night watch, having to
sit through unbelievably boring speeches. I mean he'd go nuts.

Speaker 2 (54:21):
Well, he'd probably go down a bit boozed at the
dinner break for me come and cause trouble. They'd probably
have to take him off it.

Speaker 17 (54:27):
Yeah, well that could be a bit of a but
in the end, he's aid tremendous communicator. He does actually
have an exciting way of talking and getting people to listen,
and you need one of those in the team. You
don't need fifteen wingers, but you need a couple that
can really get out there in sprint. You need a
couple of props and a hooker and a couple of everything.
And here is part of the mix. I think he'll

(54:48):
do really well and act in terms of where he
sits in the political spectrum.

Speaker 2 (54:52):
Yes, are you sayings are you worked with him, didn't you?

Speaker 8 (54:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (54:56):
Well yeah we worked there. He was on breakfast when
I was doing close Up because he gave.

Speaker 17 (55:01):
Me for oh you look here.

Speaker 11 (55:03):
There were things.

Speaker 17 (55:04):
He's one of those people that could be things about
them you can absolutely annoy you, but there is he
there's just a he's like a cheeky little you know.
And some of the stuff he did and said, I mean,
you wouldn't agree with, but you can't help. But like
Paul and I think he'd be a huge asset for
for ACT. I mean you think if you're going to
go if you were going to go to a meeting

(55:24):
on the election campaign, you're not going to turn up
to hear Luxem probably will turn up to a meeting
of Paul. Henry said, to be honest with you, you
know you're trying to put him off before he's even started,
because he is not good.

Speaker 11 (55:39):
He is not going to.

Speaker 4 (55:40):
Be sitting in the house during the graveyard shift.

Speaker 2 (55:43):
No, but say so as I said, like it's not
good for him to be on it, but it's not
good for ACT. They'd have to take it. They couldn't
because he'd caused all kinds of mischief. If he was
getting bored in there, wouldn't he.

Speaker 17 (55:53):
Yes, But I mean, but you look at your textas
and texts and things coming in. People sort of like
that he's like that, that cheeky sort of you know,
and so they sort of accept that he's not going
to follow the rules. And I presume that they that
they were had to work that out before they brought
him on board.

Speaker 4 (56:09):
Yeah, it's a big move.

Speaker 17 (56:10):
I mean, it's might hope he has better success than
he did in the wire Rapper.

Speaker 4 (56:13):
Of course.

Speaker 17 (56:14):
Okay, there is that problem, Heather of having to toe
the line. And Keith Holyoake once said he stayed in
the National Party because he agreed with eighty percent of
what it stood for. I'd never got my numbers up
to anywhere near the eighty. But all I can say
to you is you have to stay in the team.
And I made a fatal mistake a couple of times
of speaking out in the opposite direction and.

Speaker 4 (56:34):
Got dealt to.

Speaker 17 (56:36):
I don't know whether por can last three years, Littlelone
the sixties saying he can do. I reckon he will
split and have a big falling out at some point
because he's just not prepared to tolerate people who won't
agree with his views.

Speaker 2 (56:48):
Also, Morris though that we are assuming that Paul Henry
is going to go in and fit into Parliament. Is
it not possible that he goes in And I'm not
saying he's like Donald Trump, but he has a Trumpian
approach to politics where he goes I don't want to
fit in these rules. I'm just going to do my
own thing and we all kind of get used to it.

Speaker 17 (57:06):
Yeah, it makes it difficult for the team, though, if
you've sort of pledged to do something or or you've
agreed on I had a talkback show on Ready Pacific
in the nineties and I could do a cabinet meeting
on the week and lose a vote and get really
angry and screaming yell in the cabinet room because I'd lost,
And then I'd go on the radio on the Sunday
and completely sell that new policy that the government agreed to,

(57:26):
how fantastic it was, because you have to. It's that
collective responsibility. You can't just have twenty people in the
cabinet room while having their own views and split it
all over the place. He'll find that hard to buckle
down and have to agree that if others within the
Act team want something and he doesn't, and he'll.

Speaker 4 (57:44):
Have to accept that. Yeah, I think ic we prepared
you when you were bucking the system, right, and.

Speaker 2 (57:48):
That's the thing Morris we did. So maybe you're maybe
you're right, maybe you're wrong. Hey, we'll take a quick break,
come back and talk about the polling that's out today
sixteen away from six to two.

Speaker 1 (57:58):
The Huddle with New Zealand Southby's International Real Team, the
only truly global brand.

Speaker 2 (58:03):
Right, you're back of the huddle, Mark Sainsbury Morris Williams
and says, are you worried about that polling for National?

Speaker 17 (58:10):
Well, if I was a National, I suppose I would
be worried, as I'm neither of none of them, are
you not. I've been fascinated by this the Opportunity Party
as to what was going to happen, and there's always
that and you know, if you don't make the five percent,
you're useless, no one's going to support you. But this,
this is the thing to watch, just could change everything
if they continue, if they get over the get up

(58:33):
over the five percent and people don't feel as though
they're wasting their vote, which is always a big difficulty
for any of those other things.

Speaker 2 (58:39):
I reckon say, okay, so they're sitting on four point
seven percent up two point seven says Whopping and the
irn Z red research pole. Do you reckon they make
it over five?

Speaker 17 (58:49):
I reckon, they might say over fire. I tell you
I went to a function.

Speaker 4 (58:51):
The other week here the Iron Duke, you know, sol Oiley.

Speaker 17 (58:54):
Of your business, and she the leader was and it
was like a rock star. Everyone was crowding around and
one go and talk and that was really fascinating.

Speaker 4 (59:03):
And because I still I think we've talked about this before.
I think there is a malaise.

Speaker 17 (59:07):
I think a lot of voters are just I'm a
plague on both your houses are sick of the bad parties.
I don't think they're delivering anything, so they're looking round
for something.

Speaker 2 (59:15):
Yep, I agree, And so what do you reckon, Morris?
Are they there?

Speaker 1 (59:19):
No?

Speaker 17 (59:19):
I don't think they will because the blow torch of
specifics will come on as the campaign unfolds. Yes, she's
very presentable. Yes, there's an excitement about them right now.

Speaker 4 (59:29):
Oh.

Speaker 17 (59:29):
I quite like what's going on there. And Mark's completely
right that people have had a guts full of the
old parties, and you go across the world, have a
look in the UK the Tories are almost and also
round party nowadays. Same in Australia, etc. So there will
be an element of that. But I think she's been
unable to give specifics on any of the policies and

(59:50):
how much they cost and what it will mean and
what it will mean you'll be paying just if you ow't.

Speaker 4 (59:54):
An ordinary property.

Speaker 17 (59:55):
And I think as that blow torch of specifics.

Speaker 4 (59:57):
Comes on, they won't get there.

Speaker 17 (01:00:00):
And the other thing is that if Luxel was prepared
to take a big call and say we're ruling them out,
it would then close them because there's people that think
they'll make an excellent collision partner for National and they
wouldn't and they wouldn't.

Speaker 4 (01:00:12):
Yeah, Intersection min they're more likely, they're more likely to
lean towards Labor. Looking at that polling they did with them,
Rule them out, just rule them out.

Speaker 2 (01:00:19):
Listen, do you worry about where Nationalism? I mean, if
they're sitting on twenty eight point seven, this poll is
not I don't think this is a fresh stip. I
think this pole is just catching up with where national
sits but can you see national going up from here?

Speaker 17 (01:00:32):
Of course I worry like hell about it. My biggest
worry is not because they're not doing things that I want.
It's because they're not doing things they said they would do.
And I am so frustrated tonight. Keep looking back at
the twenty thirty three election campaign material we will do this,
we will like for example here in South Auk and
they said we're going to begin the work and build

(01:00:54):
this mill road, which is basically the second motorway, hugely
important the motorway at present. The thing that most people
in South auk and hate listening to is the news talks.

Speaker 4 (01:01:02):
They'd be in the morning about.

Speaker 17 (01:01:04):
How the motorway's block stopped and not moving every day,
and suddenly the Nationals come out and see it after
all of the attacking labor for hopeless ener or we're
not going to do it either, yep. So yeah, look,
they desperately need to lift their game and that polling
where they are because the public aren't happy with what
they're offering.

Speaker 20 (01:01:21):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:01:21):
I think you're right, and I think a lot of
Aukland's going to be pretty grumpy about that. All right,
saying so do you did you contribute to that one
point one billion dollars in the first three months of
the year eating getting the delivery.

Speaker 4 (01:01:31):
Listen, we're not big on getting delivered.

Speaker 17 (01:01:33):
Well, we do do takeaways and news.

Speaker 4 (01:01:35):
You go and pick them up and that sort of thing.

Speaker 2 (01:01:36):
But I was just doing what do you still get
in your car and go down the road and pick.

Speaker 17 (01:01:41):
Up your food. So I've seen my son no and
we dig gets something, I send one hundred goes down
and get set. But I've worked it up. That's two
hundred dollars, two hundred and twenty dollars for every single man.

Speaker 4 (01:01:53):
Woman and child in this country over that three months.

Speaker 2 (01:01:56):
Yeah, like for the family. So for a family of four.
So my family of four, according to your number, spent
eight hundred bucks in the food. Well I didn't. I
mean that's ridiculous. Ye, But there are people out there.
I think one of the producers here eats out basically
almost every night. It's just like kids don't cook anymore.

Speaker 4 (01:02:11):
I think this was going on, no, and it's a
real shame.

Speaker 17 (01:02:14):
Cooking is such a fantastic thing, you know, Oh what
are you good at cooking? So yeah, let's stop all
the crap that's been put down by the media of
how difficult times are and how we've got a cost
of living crisis. If people are spending this sort of
money just to get their food delivered to their house,
it's bizarre. What happened to the I.

Speaker 4 (01:02:34):
Grew up on a farm and Mada matter.

Speaker 17 (01:02:36):
Where we never had takeaways. Once you cooked your meals
every day with growing vegetables out the back. And now
somehow we've got a cost of living. Well, of course
they're the only thing we haven't got is what I
saw in La was that you can get home delivered
cannabis as well. Yeah, but I lived in a shoe
box the middle of the road. Of course, my upbredge
is even harder than you were.

Speaker 4 (01:02:55):
A cheer lot of three. Cheer lot three yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:02:58):
Now saying so, I was told by keV, the pretty
so who used to work at TVNS. What was he
very good at?

Speaker 17 (01:03:02):
keV Pklow the pork loin We played, In fact we
still do it. We played five hundred. We used to
play every Wednesday night. There was four of us and
kept on going. We do it online and with an
Now it's not quite the same, but yeah, the regular was.

Speaker 4 (01:03:16):
The pork loin. We had to cook two if keV
was coming around.

Speaker 2 (01:03:19):
To be honest, the overrated You were up in the
apartment on Queen Street which had the barber's chair in it.

Speaker 4 (01:03:26):
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah the dentist.

Speaker 11 (01:03:27):
Here.

Speaker 2 (01:03:28):
Are we allowed to even talk about the fact that
that apartment existed because that was just a den of iniquity,
wasn't it.

Speaker 17 (01:03:33):
It was a fantastic but it was the old. These
buildings had the old caretakers flat on the roof. They
didn't got automatd but someone bought them, and you said
the caretaker would live there, would do the bins and
the boilers and watch stuff. And they had referred the
building and put a big cloud two floors of servers
in it, and they wanted to get the big high contracts,

(01:03:56):
the blue chip contracts.

Speaker 4 (01:03:57):
You had to have on site people there.

Speaker 17 (01:03:59):
So it actually went back to its original purpose.

Speaker 2 (01:04:02):
And you lost you You lost your party house. Guys,
tell you what why. I won't tell stories about what
happened at Sainzo's apartment. Have a lovely evening. Thank you
for your insights. Mark Sainsbury, Morris Williams and Ahad l

podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News Talk ZBI.

Speaker 2 (01:04:24):
Heather, the top party is the Greens with better tailor's,
well the Greens with Taylor's actually the Greens with new
clothes they didn't just get from an op shop. They
will only go look at the policies, are only going
to go into government with labor. That's probably true. I
mean they do say, and I've made this argument for
weeks now, so you're not you're preaching to the choir
over here. But I their they're caveat is that they

(01:04:45):
will discuss first. They'll negotiate first with the biggest party.
But didn't mean they have to go with the biggest
party because national's just going to no looney, no looney,
crazy crazy crazy not gonna happen. Then they'll go chat
to labor and book there you go here. The remember
rural people don't have access to takeaways. This is very
good point from you. Actually, so what is it like?
It's four point five million of us. This is now
it gets worse, right because four point five million of

(01:05:07):
us live in the urban centers. So now you have
to take one point one billion dollars over three months
and divided by four point five million people, and that
works out of two hundred and fifty dollars per person
and a household of four. Now you're spending one thousand
bucks and three months one thousand dollars on takeaways and
three months I wonder we're fat, Hey, Mount Hart, Nah, don't.
I don't actually hate it. I lean into it. Look

(01:05:28):
do it? Do what if you've got the money for it,
and if it makes your life a little bit happier,
go and order your takeaways and get it delivered to
your door. Because sometimes it's like at the end of
the day when you've had four people fighting with you
because you've asked them to wash their hands seven hundred times,
and they're finally asleep in bed, and all you want
to do is treat yourself with a cheeky little tie.

Speaker 3 (01:05:46):
Go for it.

Speaker 2 (01:05:46):
Nothing wrong with that. Mount Heart has just brought in
an eight hundred dollar fine for drivers who don't carry
the snow chains. So apparently this weekend, the Long weekend,
was a cluster up.

Speaker 7 (01:05:56):
There.

Speaker 2 (01:05:56):
There were a whole bunch of people who'd gone up
no snow chains, blocking the road, queueing, people queueing, trying
to get past these cars, and cars can't move them
and got the snow chains. So they decided to bring
it on Sunday. So they dealt with it Friday, Saturday.
Bugger it Sunday. They're broad in the fine. Eight hundred dollars,
No more problems. Everybody had snow chains all of a sudden.
Queens sound did it last year as well? Seven hundred

Evening coming up in the next hour. The gender pay gap,
at least at the board level is basically gone. Will
get you across that. Jamie McKay speaking of the Opportunities Party,
Jamie McKay and what the farmers think of them, and
and Deer Brady is with us out of the UK
right now to seven pass six. Now we've got some
good business confidence numbers for you. Nzier figures show a
modest lift in the June quarter and net twelve percent

(01:07:30):
of business leaders are feeling positive. That is up from
just one percent in March. Michael Gordon is a senior
economist at wes Packham with us Now, Hey, Michael, good evening,
what do you reckons taking it from one percent in
March to twelve percent net positive in the last month.

Speaker 15 (01:07:45):
I think this is really a reflection of how the
Middle East situation has been playing out, because things are
moving so quickly. Unfortunately, this kind of means there's no
good time to do one of these surveys. We saw
in this one. Earlier responses were a bit more pessimistic
than later ones, which came after the memo of understanding
between US and Iran. But of course Trump says that

(01:08:05):
he's now back at war again, So maybe it's the
earlier results that are more relevant to where we're heating
from here.

Speaker 2 (01:08:11):
Well, quite right. I mean, so if we were to
do the survey today, when we're back into a six
potentially a sixty day window of bombing and carrying on,
what do you think it would show?

Speaker 11 (01:08:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 15 (01:08:21):
I think it would show something more negative. I mean,
just as a rough guide, world oil prices at their
best probably got down to about seventy US dollars a
barrel before their conflict started. Heating up again. It's now
sort of sitting around eighty four dollars a barrel, so
not in triple digits like it was at the worst.
But of course there's you know, things are changing from
day to day, so we will see where we end

(01:08:43):
up even a week from now.

Speaker 2 (01:08:45):
Okay, here's the devil in the detail.

Speaker 20 (01:08:47):
Though.

Speaker 2 (01:08:47):
The own activity measures, which tend to have a closer
correspondence with GDPROP GDP growth, were little changed for the quarter.
What do you make of that?

Speaker 15 (01:08:56):
Yeah, I mean, I think that's the more relevant measure
hereusinesses know their own or you know, business owners know
their own business best, rather than trying to opine about
what other people might be thinking. And they're saying that,
you know, things are kind of holding in. It's you know,
not great but not awful. But I think for from
say the Reserve Bank's point of view, it's not really

(01:09:18):
suggesting to me that the economy is running any stronger
than they thought when they did their last set of forecasts.

Speaker 2 (01:09:24):
Yeah, forty one percent net of firms have raised their
prices in the last quarter. What does that mean for inflation?

Speaker 15 (01:09:31):
Yeah, well, I think you've got a bear in mind.
It's quite a short time horizon for these questions. It's
really asking about the next three months, and not surprisingly
a bunch of businesses they've all experienced a hit to
their fuel prices. They many of them are hoping that
they can pass that on to their customers. But beyond that,

(01:09:52):
it's not really telling us a lot about the kind
of inflationary dynamic where price rises to get price rises.
That's more a question about your one year ahead and
more than and that's not really covered in the survey.

Speaker 2 (01:10:04):
Hey, thank you very much, Michael. As always it's good
to talk to Michael Gordon, Westpac senior economists. Heither, don't
forget businesses order lots and lots of food and it
may go through their home address. Well that kind of
makes a little bit more sense, doesn't it. If you've
got businesses ordering in the deliveries for whatever reason, maybe
they're all working late or whatever, and they're putting it
through their home address, that might because one point one
billion dollars is quite it's quite a bloody high number,

(01:10:26):
isn't it. For three months? Heither My son and his
friend went skiing at Coronet Peak about four years ago.
What started out as a fun day turned into four
hours sitting in the cold on top of the mountain
because some idiot didn't use snow chains and went over
the side. None of the busses could go up or down. Unfortunately,
the cafe had closed. No one was allowed to stay
inside that area to keep warm. Do you know what?
So I said to the husband, because the husband comes
from down there, comes from the deep South Gore, and

(01:10:50):
I said, oh, yeah, you should probably get we should
probably get some snowchains if we're going to go to
Coronet Peak. And he went, nah, you don't need snow chains.
And I was like, how do you know you don't
need snow chains because I've never driven with snow chains,
driven with snow chains at all. And I grew up
here and I've lived you for years, never drove with
snow chains. So I was right, said, yeah, you don't
need snow chains. So okay, how many times did you
go snick skiing? He was like, oh, yeah, no, not really.

(01:11:14):
I'm like, okay, cool. I love people like that, love
people who are like one hundred percent sure that you
don't need to do a thing based on the fact
that they've never actually done that thing ever before in
their life. So I'm glad that I know him. Otherwise
I might well have just gone up there without snow chains.
Give you the numbers insid x fifty didn't need them
in the end. Insidex fifty down half a percentage point
today as it was right in mind. Asex fifty down

(01:11:39):
zero point one two percent. So far today barrel of
Brent crude costs eighty five US dollars. That's up one
and a half percent today. One New Zealand dollar is
worth fifty eight US cents, eighty four Ozzie cents, fifty
one eurosins forty three UK pens at ninety four yen.
Jamie McKay is backing with US next twelve plus six. Now,
if you've spent years working around noise on a farm,
on a building site and a factory, it's worth asking

(01:11:59):
yourself for quies. Has your hearing changed and have you
just been putting it down to getting older, because it
might actually not be age at all. A could be
work related and that means ACC could help fund your hearing.
Aids now and that a thing. Here's what it looks
like at Resonate Health. Whatever ACC band you're assessed into,
you're going to get the top of the range hearing aids,
not the basic model and not an upgrade that you
have to pay extra for. They're audiologists. Audiologists handle the

(01:12:23):
whole process, to the paperwork, the fitting, the follow up care,
so you're not left trying to figure this all out yourself.
A lot of people who qualify never find out simply
because nobody ever tells them to check. So if you've
worked hard in noisy conditions, take the ten minutes to
find out where you stand. It could be worth thousands
of dollars in funded hearing aids for you. Oh eight
hundred seven three seven double six' to two Or resonadhealth

(01:12:45):
dot co dot.

Speaker 1 (01:12:46):
Nz The Rural report With Farmlands rural never rests and
neither Is.

Speaker 2 (01:12:52):
Farmlands, hey do you remember the story from last week
or even the week before of the ex loto, guy you,
know the one who was the story gets? Worse wait
TILL i tell you about. It steen past.

Speaker 1 (01:13:00):
Six The Rural report With Farmland's rural never rests and
neither As.

Speaker 2 (01:13:06):
Farmlands jamie, McKay host of The. Country so that's, Hello,
Jamie good, Day heather done the sums on? Daring have?

Speaker 11 (01:13:12):
You?

Speaker 7 (01:13:13):
Yeah, well in light of yesterday's announcement From, fonterra And
i'm sure you covered it off on yesterday's show about
the fifty cent drop in the forecast farm gate milk
price down to nine to twenty five from their opening
shot of nine seventy five, now and this is obviously
off the back of last week's four point nine percent

(01:13:34):
drop IN gdt eleven percent since Late, may so we've
seen quite a. Drop BUT i did the sums on
the break even price From dairy En, z which is
eight dollars seventy nine per kilogram of milk. Solids SO
i figured out or CHAT gpt told me that your
average farm does about one hundred and eighty five thousand milk.

(01:13:57):
Solids that's four hundred and forty eight cows at four
hundred and fourteen milk solids per. Cow under that, scenario
you would make a surplus of just eighty five thousand
over and above all your farm working. Expenses and there
is an allowance and THERE i understand from dairy AND
z for management and wages or, whatever but that's not

(01:14:19):
that great if you've got say six to eight, million
which you could easily have invested in a property that
would run like four hundred and fifty. Cows so it
is a bit of an issue look at payout starting
with The nine's, okay it's just the cost of production
starting with an, eight isn't that Flash and the other
thing that we need to factor In Hector. Hector let me.

(01:14:39):
TRY i don't know WHERE i Got hector From.

Speaker 2 (01:14:41):
Amnil, sorry it's a hundred The Wilder people, thing isn't.
It i'm going to put it down to.

Speaker 7 (01:14:47):
THAT i loved that, film probably my Favorite samuel, film
to be perfectly. Honest we'll Try. Heather the other thing
we need to factor and is the potential Our nino
weather pattern impacting global. Supply now this is good and
bad news. Story the bad news is will probably drop
production and may increase prices a. Week BUT i think

(01:15:09):
the production drop would outweigh the price. Increase so we're
all waiting with baited. Breath but a bit of a
dull start to the dairy season. Really but you, know
there was a time last year when we were looking
at a payout of eight, bucks and this season is
going to finish at about nine to, Seventy so you,
know it's early, days early.

Speaker 2 (01:15:25):
Doors we've been talking about The Opportunity party because they've
obviously come through in the latest poll doing quite. Well
what do farmers make of?

Speaker 7 (01:15:31):
Them, WELL i don't reckon they're exactly flocking to. Them,
INTERESTINGLY i Had Daniel ebb on my show, today who's
the deputy. Leader Now i've Known daniel for a number
of years because he's done a lot OF pr in
the ag. Space this is the guy who used to
run the open farms all Around New zealand and he's
DONE pr for the likes Of agmarth and all. That
So i've had quite a bit to do with them

(01:15:52):
over the. Years he's a good bloke and he's if
he's THE pr guy for The Opportunity, party he's not
doing a bad job because they've gone from. Nowhere remembering
this is a party that had to advertise for a
leader For god's, sake and they're on the five percent.
THRESHOLD i don't think they will be welcome with open
arms by farmers simply BECAUSE i don't think farmers would

(01:16:14):
agree on the universal basic. Income you, know farmers get
out of bed, early work, hard you, know make their
own way in. Life and the other thing is which
would obviously be a big distancent to farming and to
landowners or property owners is the zero point five percent
tax on rural. Land you, know if you've got a
ten million dollar, farm and that's not out of the

(01:16:35):
question at all these, days with the dairy farm or
A kiwi fruit orchard that's fifty grand a, year you've
got a fine to pay the land. Tax, well you
might be getting The universal income. Back in, fact you
won't get The universal income because you won't need, it
but the maths don't work out for you that. Well
the other, thing INTERESTINGLY i stumbled across with The Opportunity,

(01:16:57):
party they're going to simplify the income tax brackets to
three brackets ranging from twenty eight to thirty nine. Percent
we're it thirty nine for our top marginal tax rate
at the, moment but you've got to remember if you've
earning if you're earning zero to fifteen, thousand six hundred,
dollars heare they're only playing ten point five, percent only
seventeen point five percent on income from fifteen to fifty three.

(01:17:18):
Grand so there could be a lot Of New zealanders
with if The Top party have their, way who could
be paying quite a bit more.

Speaker 2 (01:17:25):
Tax oh, yeah, no and more. Tax absolutely, no it's
not going to. Happen, listen but there will be about
five percent who love the. Idea, jamie thanks very. Much
look after, yourself, mate we' talked you in a couple of.
Days jamie, McKay hosts of The. Country the puberty blockers
case has started today In. Wellington this is the professional
the group that calls themselves The Professional association For Transgender
HEALTH altier OR, pafa has taken a judicial review challenging

(01:17:47):
The ministry Of health's decision to ban those puberty. Blockers
and they, said, no you can't use them to treat
gender dysphoria and gender and congruous in. Congruents and so
these guys, say no you. Can i'm interested in how
this plays out court, actually because, YEAH i, MEAN i
fall at the moment at least, No i'm happy to
have my mind changed on pretty much, anything but at

(01:18:08):
the including. This but at the, MOMENT i fall on
the side of you shouldn't be actually using the, stuff
Because i'm not entirely sure that we know that we
can reverse it. Anyway that the hearing is set down
for three. Days we'll see how it goes six twenty.

Speaker 1 (01:18:18):
One it's The Heather Dupercy Allen Drive Full show podcast
On iHeartRadio powered By News TALKS. Edb approaching the numbers
and getting the. Results It's Heather Duperscy allen on The
Business hour With Mass insurance And. Investments your futures in
good Hands Used TALKS.

Speaker 2 (01:18:38):
Edb, Yeah so, listen we're going to talk about the
gender pay gap because apparently at the board level it
has basically. DISAPPEARED i think we had this conversation last
year when these figures came. Out so we'll have another
conversation about it again shortly With Kathy hendry Of Strategic
Pay Managing. Director she'll be with that's in about ten minutes.

Speaker 4 (01:18:53):
Time.

Speaker 2 (01:18:53):
Now THE X lotter presenter turned gold Smuggler Russell. Harrison
this situation's got a bit worse. Now if you remember
the Story. Russ we found out, ABOUT i want to
say a week, ago maybe slightly. More found out That
Russell harrison was employed and paid by The ministry Of
justice for five years while he did. Nothing when they
sent him, home they suspended, him but they kept on

(01:19:14):
paying him apparently full, pay for five years after he
was charged for smuggling gold for the common CIO's and
all the way through until he pleaded guilty last. Month,
anyway we now find out he may have told a
porky to the court because he told them he was
on the doll when he wasn't on the. Doll the
reason he told them on he was on the doll
was because he wanted name. Suppression his argument was that

(01:19:36):
he didn't have a lot of. Money he only had
the doll coming, in and so he needed to basically
supplement that with all the bookings that he would be
getting through the entertainment, industry and that was his sole,
income the doll and what work he could get through
the entertainment, industry and if his name got, out nobody
would book, him and so they needed to keep his
name suppress so that he could keep on getting a
bit of. Money and and the court looked at, him

(01:19:56):
when you're fair, enough it is fair, argument plus some
other arguments that he made your, Argument so they kept
his name secret for five. Years except he wasn't only
on the doll was he turns out we were actually
paying him some sweet sweet. Money now we don't actually
know exactly what his income, was but apparently it was
full the full, amount and we worked it, out didn't
we work it? OUT i can't. Remember it was like
five hundred thousand dollars over five, years slightly more than

(01:20:17):
that or. Whatever it does beg the question, though when
somebody Like Russell harrison gets up in, court did no
one check it and?

Speaker 5 (01:20:24):
Go?

Speaker 2 (01:20:24):
Okay, russell you say you're just on the doll and
you say that you're just getting some. Money can you
just give us some your bank? Statements? Oh, look what's?
That oh says you're getting your salary from The ministry Of. Justice,
okay did nobody do? That just go, yeah sounds about. Right,
okay you can have name suppression for five. Years sounds
like that's what happened six twenty.

Speaker 1 (01:20:41):

Speaker 2 (01:22:54):
Of, people it would, seem have started emailing me About.
Genesis this would be Because genesis is going rising the
Power English weather raising the power prises on the first Of.
September thank you. Too who's this? Person G Gene nelson
who sent me this From tawer sent me the power
bill it's going up From if you're on the let's,

(01:23:15):
see if you're on the low all inclusive, price your
rate is not Going it's not too. Bad you're paying
twenty four dollars or twenty four. CENTS i mean twenty
four cents a unit and it's going up to about
twenty five and a half, cent so much it's not
a huge, increase but, boy oh, boy if you are
on the low daily fixed it's ninety cents a day
is now going up to one dollar forty. Five most of,

(01:23:39):
THAT i have to be honest as the network, charge
and they are blaming it largely on the lines, companies
and that's probably. Fair BUT i see what you're doing
Your genesis as. Well you're doing a nice little rate
increase for yourself. There so, anyway get ready for. It
if you look at your power bill this winter and, went,
lordy that's the Highest i've ever seen. It i'm On.
GENESIS i looked at it AND i, think, wow, Well

(01:23:59):
i'm going to be doing that again next. Winter by
the looks of, things twenty four away from seven.

Speaker 1 (01:24:03):
To ever due for Ce. Ellens so the pay.

Speaker 2 (01:24:06):
Gaps for female directors on company boards has almost. Disappeared
this is The Strategic Pay Director's survey. Results last, year
women earned five point nine percent less than their male.
Counterparts this year it's just zero point five. Percent Kathy
henry is the managing director of strategic pay and with
Us Hi, Kathy hi, there why is it now wrote so?

Speaker 22 (01:24:23):
Much, look we believe the biggest contributor to it is
we've seen we saw large increases in the public sector
and these were sort of well. Overdue at the same
time we've had really flat movement and the private. Sector
so that seems to be the you, know the biggest

(01:24:44):
contributor to why we're seeing this change so.

Speaker 2 (01:24:46):
Basic because this was a government, directive wasn't it to
start paying the women equivalent to the?

Speaker 22 (01:24:50):
Men so, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah it's illegal to pay
men and women.

Speaker 3 (01:24:57):
Different, no, NO i don't know that same. Role that's
not What i'm.

Speaker 2 (01:25:01):
Saying whatever saying, was wasn't This LIKE i feel like
in the recesses of my, MIND i remember one of
The ministers for women came out and made it a
real big play of paying the, men like really shutting
down that gender pay gap on board level in the public.

Speaker 22 (01:25:15):
Sector, yeah, yeah, yeah, Absolutely AND i mean what we're
doing is we're looking across the whole subset of the.
Directors so this is sitting across all the boards and
we're looking at that sample and seeing what the gap is,
there and the public sector typically has really high, representation
but they'd been really stagnant in their fees and that

(01:25:37):
was sort of keeping that pay gap across all the.

Speaker 3 (01:25:39):
Directors so are you telling?

Speaker 2 (01:25:42):
Them, Okay so more women sit on public sector boards
than on private sector, boards but the public sector boards
pay really badly so as a result of the pay.
Game so it's because the, taxpayer poor old, taxpayer is
having to pay these boards more to basically shut the
gender pay gap. Down are we're getting value from money
from these, people are?

Speaker 14 (01:26:01):
We?

Speaker 22 (01:26:02):
Hey, WELL i think it wasn't A it was a
well needed adjustment because they hadn't seen any increase for
a long, time like a really long. Time it was an,
Adjustment AND i think you know what you're asking complex
because you, know you're looking at increased complexity on the

(01:26:22):
at the board, level like you, know greater, accountability greater.
Liability you, know you sort of see that all the
time in the news that you, know just it's not
a case of just sitting on the directors and getting
sausage rolls and attending a few meetings, anymore you, Know.

Speaker 2 (01:26:37):
Yeah hope. Not, Okay, so why how do we explain
the eight percent gap for the.

Speaker 22 (01:26:41):
Chairs, yeah so at the chair you, know you've only
got one chair obviously in every, board and we see
a lower representation of females at the cheer, level and
then you're seeing the men more likely to be in those.

Speaker 3 (01:26:58):
Bigger boards higher.

Speaker 22 (01:26:59):
Payer so that's what's still keeping that up about higher
it's really down to the representation more than anything.

Speaker 2 (01:27:05):
Else, okay so how, like what is the? Gap what's
the difference between the number of women the proportion of
women who are on boards in the public sector and
in the private.

Speaker 22 (01:27:14):
Sector so you won't have to ask me a QUESTION
i don't have on the top of my but it's No,
SORRY i know this is not on the public.

Speaker 2 (01:27:26):
Sector it is.

Speaker 22 (01:27:27):
Fifty to fifty on the public, sector and it's considerably
lower in the private. Sector LIKE i, THINK i think
it's closer to more like a third when you look
across The, yeah it's very.

Speaker 2 (01:27:36):
Close, Well, kathy so if we're down to, zero but
we can stop talking about this, now affect stay done finishing.

Speaker 3 (01:27:43):
There, well it's only at the board, level isn't.

Speaker 22 (01:27:47):
IT i mean it's great that at the governance level
women if you've got a greater representation and fairness at that,
level it's likely to sort of feed down into the. Organization,
yeah but the thing is they're, stubborn you.

Speaker 11 (01:28:02):
Know so.

Speaker 22 (01:28:05):
If the public sector pay remains stagnant and women tend
to not be all on private sector boards and then
we see some big increases in private sector boards and
the pay gap will probably come.

Speaker 2 (01:28:17):
Back, yeah all, right it's. Fair thank you very, Much,
kathy appreciate. It look after. Yourself Kathy, Hendry strategic Pay Managing,
director nineteen away from. Seven Heather duperl prease release From
Federated farmers just landed in my email and. Box Federated
farmers are sounding the alarm over councils rushing to sign
NEW ewe partnership agreements before The Resource Management actors. Replaced
now APPARENTLY Ecan Environment canterbury is the. Latest you know

(01:28:39):
What i'm talking about, Here, ah this is the motherfucker
horn or hair. Agreements so what's going on is Councils
AND i think it started really came to our attention
with The Far North District council trying to do it
because remember they tried to stack one of the one
of the subcommittees with like a whole bunch of unelected
people FROM ewi and then the government shut that, down
and so what they were, like they were, like don't,

(01:29:00):
worry we'll sign a deal with them with the local
Ewe manafuckerna are all here and it'll be fine. Anyway
so what's going on is the ram That Chris bishop
and what's his Name simon from The Act party are
trying to sort. Out the ram that they're writing gets
rid of these agreements so there will be no more
of these agreements to be. Signed but they've left. It

(01:29:21):
there's a little, loophole didn't they why'd they do? THIS
i don't. Know they've left a loophole in THE rma
where if you've already signed one of these, agreements it carries.
Over we might have to shut that shit down because
now it looks like what's going on as everybody's in
a rush at them and all the councils are in
a rush to get these agreements signed before the NEW
rm so they can carry them. Over, apparently what's happened

(01:29:42):
with E can is E can's decided to enter a
new agreement With. Naitahu elected councilors have been given one
week to consider it and, look look at the draft,
agreement consider it and then vote on. It by the
looks of, things this is CAN i just, say, like
if you're listening to me right now and you are
the member of a council or the mayor of a,
council this is why we hate. You this is why

(01:30:05):
we feel so angry at. You because the law is
changing the, law and you know that people don't want this.
Crap so what do you? Do you rush it through
as quickly as you. Can, anyway we're gona have to
talk To Cris. Sip we have to talk To Chris
bership about this Or simon what's his name From act
and fix this so that we could shut the ship
down so it doesn't get carried. OVER i can't believe
councils like read the, room, mate read the room. Anyway

(01:30:29):
speaking of, which, actually speaking of, which BEFORE i forget,
you remember that Big buddhist temple that was going to
be built outside Of. Gisbon it's not gonna. HAPPEN i,
MEAN i don't HAVE i DON'T i don't hold a
particular candle For buddhist temples or. Whatever but the guy
behind it has apparently given up for basically resource consent
reasons apply for a reason resource. Consent couple of years,
back LOCAL ewe he reckons is the problem LOCAL. E

(01:30:51):
they've met with a local. Erewe LOCAL. E we don't like,
it so it's not gonna. Happen so he's just he's
just given up on. It council says it's more complicated than,
that and there are other reasons. Whatever they would say,
that and maybe it's. TRUE i don't really. Know we
don't really. Know we have to take him at his.
Word but he said he's not going to do The
buddhist temple And he'm always gonna put housing there. Instead
SO i suppose net benefit To New, zealand but not
what he wanted to. Do councils sixteen away from.

Speaker 2 (01:31:35):
That the councils Have stockholm. SYNDROME i know a council
mayor personally who was fully against what my costing calls
the mortification of, council but had been one over through
the term and now as a card carrying fanboy of
what's going, on do you know? What this is probably
not a great thing to tell, you because this will
make you lose all kinds of. Heart BUT i was at.
IT i was at a thing where there are a
bunch of people from various councils and mayors and stuff like,

(01:31:56):
that AND i got talking to one woman and she
was hard out at. It she was, like, NOW i
don't want any of the, stuff don't like any of the,
stuff voting against. It and then it turns out That
and then she told me that when it came to the,
vote she voted for it because she said she didn't
want to be the one person in the room voting against. It.
Unbelievable what's the point in voting for?

Speaker 11 (01:32:15):
You? Then?

Speaker 2 (01:32:16):
UNREAL i couldn't believe it. Anyway so THAT i don't
know if that's going to give you any hope or

Ender, heather thanks for having.

Speaker 2 (01:32:28):
Me okay now into The woodikomb murder is now being
investigated as possibly a terrorism, attack is?

Speaker 23 (01:32:33):
It, yes Counter terrorism police are leading the. Investigation this
is a pretty sharp handbrake turn from what we were
told Fri their morning That devon And cornwall police were
leading the, investigation it was not being treated as terrorism
and a twenty six year old local man had been.
Arrested well within a matter of hours that man had

(01:32:53):
been released completely from the investigation and is not involved
in any of. This and they made and arrest in
the town Of rotherham In South yorkshire where they picked
up a twenty eight year old. Man he's now in police.
Custody they've gone into his property in the town Of,
rotherham searched it and as a result of what's been
found in, there counter terror cops In london are now

(01:33:16):
in charge of the. Investigation so a huge. Turnaround some
of the newspapers are speculating That russian communist propaganda and
literature was found in the property In.

Speaker 2 (01:33:27):
Yorkshire, ah that's, interesting isn't.

Speaker 7 (01:33:29):
It?

Speaker 2 (01:33:30):
HEY i, mean it seems something somewhat trivial to talk about,
This but what's.

Speaker 1 (01:33:34):
Going on with the?

Speaker 23 (01:33:34):
Temperature it keeps climbing and the weather forecast today tells
us that the heat wave in THE, uk our third
heat wave of the. Summer remember we had one In,
may we have one In, june and now we're going through.
This it's continuing through all of next week as. Well shocking.
TEMPERATURES i mean we've hit thirty five CELSIUS i think

(01:33:54):
on six separate days this. Summer reservoirs are running out of.
Water eight million people have hosepipe bands being in placed
and restrictions on water. Usage this is not good and
this is a summer like we've never had. Before and
every year those records keep. Tumbling so it just struck.
ME i looked in the diary. Today we're actually going

(01:34:14):
on holidays Next friday to The Canary, islands where it's
seven degrees cooler than where we live In england right.
Now you know we used to go on holidays to
get a bit of. Sunshine we're going on holidays for
a bit of.

Speaker 2 (01:34:25):
Respite apart from, that when you were actually stuck in
the hot, temperature what are you doing to cool? Down
we've got.

Speaker 23 (01:34:31):
Air con on in this office right, now which is.
Wonderful drinking a lot of, water staying hydrated and staying
in the shade and just kind of being smart about
exercise and being exposed to the. Sun it's the tube
is the real, problem because, anyone everyone, knows anyone who
wants to get Around, london you need the tube and

(01:34:52):
it is hot and sticky and quite. Grim And i'm
noticing the numbers are falling day by. DAY i think
an awful lot of people are just working from home.

Speaker 2 (01:35:00):
ENOUGH i can. Understand, now do you guys think you're
going to make it through to the? Finals do?

Speaker 7 (01:35:04):
You?

Speaker 23 (01:35:05):
Well The english certainly, do, Heather god bless. Them look
a little man Called Leonel messi may have something to
say early hours Of thursday, morning your time about This England.
ARGENTINA i Hope england. WIN i know several of the
lads playing in The england first, time and they're, really
really good. Boys it would be. INCREDIBLE i think it
would give the country such a lift If england can Be.

(01:35:27):
Argentina Ker, starmer we hear these are his last few
days in. Power sunday will be his last day in
The Prime minister's office In number Ten Downing. Street If
england Be, Argentina starmer will be going immediately To, america
where he will go and watch The World cup final
On sunday and that will be his last day As Prime.

(01:35:47):
Minister he would fly back, overnight hopefully within him with the,
trophy and Then starmer would head off to See King
charles and resign formally and step. Down that's What Downing
street are. Saying But, starmer Being, starmer will probably change
his mind before the.

Speaker 2 (01:36:00):
Match, kishut that's so harsh and thank you very, much
look after yourself made and Of BRADY uk correspondent to
hear what ended just did. THERE i always make the
mistake of assuming that Because enda lives In england and
doesn't have An irish team in The World, cup therefore
he is supporting The english and he's gently every time
just gently goes, yeah will The english certainly? Do just
to remind me fair, Enough, Hey peter And, igard do

(01:36:22):
you remember, him the big fashion guy From canada back
in the. Day he has just pleaded guilty to sexual
assault in a court case In. Canada at the moment
he's already in, jail who was sentenced a couple of
years back to eleven years in prison for sexually assaulting
four women In toronto from the late nineteen. Eighties all
the way through to two thousand and. Five he's also
been accused of various other sex crimes in holding women

(01:36:44):
against their will from the. Nineties which is the court
case that was about to start Overnight monday, night last night,
overnight first day of the trial turns, up takes a plea,
deal more charges, guilty de away from Seven Heather. Horizons
council drop five hundred pages on A sunday night for
counselors to read in twenty four hours before voting on

(01:37:04):
THAT rm malory arrangements nonsens five hundred pages on a
twenty four and twenty four hours cool that everybody's voting against,
it not Hither and this is a very good point
from this text To. Heather this is precisely Why national
has lost so much support because they promised to get
all of this race based crap In New zealand government
and then they didn't read the room lux AND i

(01:37:26):
would agree with. That, ACTUALLY i think that is part
of the. Problem, now who's going To brian hands? Up
who's going To Brian adams Next? March When i'm going
to be honest with. You one of the concert club
girls sent a message and, said do you want to
go See brian and reader Than Natalie brigan AND i, went,

ask Producer kevin before is It ryan, O'Brien Which adams is?

ADAMS i was very happy to go See Ryan. Adams
he said to, me It's Brian. ADAMS i wasn't even.
Better that's fine BECAUSE i know heaps Of Brian adams,
songs because who does doesn't Know Brian adams. Songs don't
know Any Ryan adams songs maybe. One so this is
altogether turning out to be a much better experience THAN
