Speaker 1 (00:00):
Your trusted home for news, sport, entertainment, opinion and Mike
the Mic asking Breakfast with Bailey's real Estate doing real
estate differently since nineteen seventy three. News togs Dead been born.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
And welcome today. Unemployment as due as the worst over
Are the government going to band the homeless from city centers?
We've got a new fuel security plan to tell you about.
Mark and Jinny politics Wednesday. Of course, good news on
car sales are Richard and Steve from across the borders
as well. Paski all the week seven past six is
a question for you this morning. Is the Water Safety
Council the same as the Teacher's Council? And if they are,

(00:34):
are we at last seeing some people held to account?
Now the Education Minister, in Urzella's quest to improve our kids'
educational lot, has lined up the Teaching Council for an overhaul.
Now the Union say it's a power grab, which it
most certainly is and not a moment too soon as
far as I'm concerned. In a nutshell, more people who
run it will be appointed by the Minister than elected.
Why because the council is clearly hopeless. Two recent reports

(00:55):
were cited that essentially involved new teachers not being remotely
ready to teach. It is hush me when it first
came to light that a lot of new teachers don't
feel ready. They hadn't had the classroom time, they didn't
appear to have the knowledge for the subjects they were teaching.
Why why, why, oh why not? Education by far too
many measures is of course a gob smacking failure in
this country, whether it be attendance or results or qualifications,

(01:18):
and the Union still defend it with the writer, of course,
the old boring writer that more money would make it
so much different, despite the fact that more money hasn't
and doesn't make it different. Too much of it is
clearly about regimentation and stifling authoritarianism. Then water Safety acc
pulled yesterday the sponsorship plague. Why because people still drown now?
To be fair to water safety, I think people have

(01:39):
always drowned and always will and telling people not to
drown isn't really an effective tool. A lot of idiocy
goes into drowning, not always, but a lot, and bodies
charged with campaigns and awareness weeks don't get a lot
of cut through with idiots. It's one thing you see
to debate philosophy or ideology amid a backdrop of debatable results.
But the beauty of data is sort of black and white.

(02:01):
If kids fail and people drown, and you are playing
a part in improving it and it isn't improving, then
at some point someone's got to take that on the chin.
The country is festooned with bodies and groups and charities
and do good as an Awareness Week champions, but too
often it's a mess. It's piecemeal, it's ineffective. But to
feel good, we don't ask too many questions. At least

(02:22):
in these two cases, that's changed, and that's good news
of the world.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
In ninety seconds.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Passing this morning of one of the GOP's heavyweight stick Cheney,
VP to Bush a big fan of the Iraq invasion
he was eighty four.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
He wanted somebody who would tell him what he thought
after careful consideration, and whether it was whether he knew
the President would agree with her or not, whether the
president later or not, and that he would help him
formulate good decisions.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Other American political matters, Day thirty five, the government still closed.
It's now tied for the longest shut down ever.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
With federal workers entering their fifth week without a full paycheck.
The Democrats ought to be taking a hard look in
the mirror. Will they continue to bend the need of
their radicals who run their party, or will Democrats finally
do something to serve the working Americans They have been
in long ago.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
And someboddying going on, some interesting decisions. To be my
to Diana Woky through that later in the program, But
the biggest is New York, where the bellot has six
measures and a maya.

Speaker 5 (03:19):
The ballot's a little tricky, to be honest with you.
The top line leads with Mamdani and then Sliwa as
I remember, and then a few other candidates of lesser
known on the road behind it, there's a three blank
spaces and then you get the cuomo's name.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Then to the Sabe it's good old Fox. Then to
the UK, where Rachel's turned up and given a weird
speech that essentially said nothing, but was designed to warm
you up for the fact that they're about to break
the election promise of no new Texas.

Speaker 6 (03:46):
With Texas as I take my decisions on both tax
and spend, I will do what is necessary to protect
families from high inflation and interest rates. To protect our
public services from a return to austerity.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Tories make hay.

Speaker 7 (04:03):
She promised last year, after the election, after her last
budget that she wouldn't come back for more. She's breaking
not just the manifesto promise, but one that she made
after the last budget. Why because she has not been
able to get a grip on the economy.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
In the post office scandal, Surrell and Bates has finally settled,
he'll get multiple millions, but the borders dragged it out.

Speaker 8 (04:22):
The great majority of some postmasters have had a good
wad of interim payments, but the more complicated ones are
still going through negotiations.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Finally, good Ward, the ever good ward. Finally big day
for Bisi got his knighthood from the King in a
suit made by the Missus. I had a good look
at it. You can't tell. I mean, it looks nice,
but you can't tell you guys that dulty ain't no
it could be anyway. Vicky was there along with the
mum and dad. He said it was the proudest so

(05:01):
it's nice. It's a new world.

Speaker 9 (05:02):
Nine.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
John Stewart's also got a contract renewed. By the way,
just in case you're worried about that, which I'm sure
you weren't. He's on the Comedy Central Daily Show today.
He does one day a week anyway, after Colbert and everything.
Everyone went when you was going to a hoop a job,
and he does so he signed on for a while.
Yet it's twelve past six.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, call
it by News Talk Zippy.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Trump and musk Bus told everyone in New York to
vote for Cuomos. So I don't know that's going to
make any difference. So Trump also lost yesterday that court
case resnapped via the food stamps thing. Court said you've
got to pay out. They said, we don't know how.
So they acquiesced yesterday, and at least some people, forty
two million people are going to get some money. Fifteen
past six. I've got name, I'm sure pers Andrew kelliher

(05:51):
Good morning, God morning matejees. It's how many is this now?
Four or five?

Speaker 10 (05:57):
Well, this is the Global Dairy Trade auction night. Well,
at least we've got a result which is better than
the last restaurant. If you just look at the front
page of that.

Speaker 11 (06:05):
Anybody can log into the Global Dairy Trade website there's
twelve auction results on there, and we've only had positive
outcomes and two of them, so ten of the last
twelve will be negative. So get another negative, a two
point four percent fall in the global dairy price index.
So I think now you're starting to be it's starting
to be of concern, isn't it, because clearly the supply

(06:26):
demand sort of dynamic is favoring the byside at the moment.
Just looking through the numbers, butter was down four point
three percent, Cheddar down six point six, mot sorellas small
increase one point six skim milk powder a flat result,
it's probably pretty good, but the key product, whole will powder,
fell two point seven percent.

Speaker 10 (06:45):
Now, just focusing on those two main.

Speaker 11 (06:48):
Categories, skim milk powder, the average price across the various
contracts two thousand, five hundred and fifty nine UIs dollars. Now,
that has been sitting for a very long time since
the end of tween twenty three in terms of the
average price between sort of two and a half and
three thousand US dollars.

Speaker 10 (07:04):
So it's sideways trading. That's okay.

Speaker 11 (07:06):
It is at the bottom of the range. But where
your attention is peaked as whole milk powder three thousand,
five hundred and three, which the average price cost the
contracts back in May, Mike that was four thousand, three
hundred and seventy four dollars.

Speaker 10 (07:19):
That is a.

Speaker 11 (07:19):
Twenty percent fall since then, so we're now back to
October twenty four levels. So look, Mike, I think there
will be some furrowed brows around the country this morning,
and I think there's definitely the potential for a consideration
of remission of the farm gate milk prices. But Mike,
I want to stress something. You've always got to look
at the full trade ecosystem, and a key part of

(07:42):
that is the value of the New Zealand dollar. Now
as we speak this morning, we've got notable news on
that front because the key we's sitting at point five
six six.

Speaker 10 (07:50):
Three against THE us.

Speaker 11 (07:52):
Dollar, now earlier this, year key we fell to this
fifty five to fifty six. Range fifty five cent seems
to be a sort of a support level of. Sorts
now that Lower New zealand dollar potentially shields exporters from
lower prices if they're DENOMINATED us.

Speaker 10 (08:08):
Dollars but what we don't know is.

Speaker 11 (08:10):
What sort of hedging Program fronterra have in, place So
i'm not sure that hedging profile looks like if they've
hedged that, already then they won't necessarily get the benefit
of the Lower New zealand.

Speaker 10 (08:20):
Dollar SO us dollars.

Speaker 11 (08:22):
Seems to be regaining some of its, mojo sort of big,
dollar little, dollar big dollar. Wins but we've also got
this increasing interest rate, differential so our rates are going
down theirs aren't so.

Speaker 10 (08:32):
Interesting times ahead, here make.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
That the truth in fifty five is nothing to be
proud of, Now michelle, mortgages it's. Over it's over.

Speaker 10 (08:41):
NOW i have to, Admit.

Speaker 11 (08:43):
Mike, yes THOUGH i had a very unsuccessful flutter on
The Melbourne. Cup it's the only horse RACE i bet
on every, year and CLEARLY i didn't do my homework very,
well SO i made a contribution to THE gov. Yesterday
The Reserve bank Of, australia, however reviewed the cash rate
of much more import than my betting. Record they left
the unchanged at three point six, percent very much market
consensus after that surprise lifted and inflation a couple of key.

(09:06):
Takeaways uncertainty seem to be a common refrain from THE.
Iba yes today heightened level of uncertain to be. Outlook
in both, directions they see inflation remaining a little, problematic
core inflation above the target range until midnext. Year they
did say some of that recent inflation increase was caused
by temporary, factors but on the flip, side even when those,
subside the some reflation with pressures. Remain they're basically moving

(09:28):
to updating their view as the data involved a cautious.
Approach central foecas, yeah might you're, Right central foecass is,
right only one more cut in twenty twenty.

Speaker 10 (09:36):
Six in other, words the easing cycle has pretty much
come to an.

Speaker 11 (09:39):
End and IF i look at the futures market, overnight
they're not even pricing in that cut, Fully so the
market doesn't even completely believe that it will be. There so,
yep kind of it's all, over but probably stay low
for quite some.

Speaker 10 (09:52):
Time but no more cuts or maybe only one more.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Cut what are the?

Speaker 11 (09:55):
Numbers, yeah a little bit weak this, morning so a
little bit of just a little bit concern coming into
sort of valuations on THE. Us on THE us, market

coming in at fourteen two hundred and. Forty is that?
Good yes it. Is it's up over thirteen. Percent, now

(15:30):
that's the fourth straight month of growth in a. Row
Amy wiley's The Motor Industry Association boss and is back
with Thiss Amy, Morning good. MORNING i reckon four months
as a, trend doesn't it?

Speaker 17 (15:41):
Well we think it's encouraging.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Signs, also passenger or commercial or? Both what's driving?

Speaker 17 (15:47):
It both passenger in commercial are both on. Track, look
it's been a challenging couple of years for the new vehicle.
Industry for the last few months have bought some genuinely
encouraging science and that's coming from across the. Board so
we've seen an uplift and private. Buyers we've seen an
uplift and business. Buyers but the last two months in
particular are strong rental.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
BUYERS i was going to say that forty six hundred
and eighteen rentals that's, tourism isn't. IT i, mean you
don't buy cast for rental purposes unless you're, bullish do you?

Speaker 17 (16:16):
Correct so that's. Confidence that's why we think this is
the vehicle market studying is because of cautious confidence returning
and we're hopeful that early signs of economic.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
Recovery do you break down the, numbers will have any
access to the numbers as to how people bought? THEM
i mean do they buy them cash or lease or
you know.

Speaker 17 (16:34):
Whatever we don't know how they bought, them but we
do know through our members and their retail, partners how
they buy. Them and that is when the ocr using
starts to. Kick and we're expecting to see an uplift,
too because that makes finance easier for. People Right we're
expecting to see more private buyers coming to the market

(16:55):
in the next six to twelve.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
Months it's interesting to see the. BREAKDOWN i, mean you've
done want to focus too much on month, month BUT
i Mean Petrick ice at seventy nine hundred versus hybrid ce.
Hybrid do people even though they're buying a hybrid often
one of those hybrids with a bit of battery support
or something like, that do people go in looking for
that or it just happens to be a.

Speaker 17 (17:12):
Hybrid, NO i think people are actively looking for, these
and lok hybrids are a little bit more, expensive not a,
lot but a little bit more expensive on the, hule
and people are consciously buying those because of the fuel.
Efficiency people are choosing smarter because it's not it's thoughtful,
demand not speculative, buying thoughtful.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
Demand that's an interesting way of putting. It, see the
BEVs and the plug ins just aren't, working are they
rightly or? Wrongly they're not working.

Speaker 17 (17:39):
Well it's a challenge In New zealand with, evs AND
i group both BEVs and pvs into. That now it's
a good news story In october for, PEVs so let's
hope that trend. Continues but the reason it's a bit
challenging In New zealand compared to the rest of the
world is that we've got our charging infrastructure is one
of the worst in THE, oecd and so we're really
reliant on those ten thousand charges coming by twenty. Thirty

(18:02):
but also our geographical topography and our terrain and how
we use our. Vehicles we don't have, long straight, roads
so it's more. Demanding so from that point of, VIEW
i would say That kiwis are more cautious and more
hesitant to that technology at the.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
Moment given THE bev number which isn't, great are you
seeing a noticeable shift at all to This chinese influx
of cheap.

Speaker 17 (18:26):
BEVs, well the numbers don't, show don't show. That we
can see The chinese beavs certainly starting to come up
through the, ranks but they're STILL i, mean with the
exception OF, byd which is well established in our, market
they're still not in sort of the top five or
to top eight. Yet but we're seeing. That, look they're coming,
in they're taking out ten percent of the, market and they're.

(18:46):
Growing they're definitely. Growing and the same trend is happening
In australia as, well so that it's certainly something to.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
Watch, well it's good talk To, youami appreciate very, Much Ami,

then made some late life, reversals openly supporting gay. Marriage

(23:19):
one of his daughters is. Gay he then took a
stand Against trump and made this Anti trump campaign commercial
for his Daughter Liz, cheney as they both Slammed trump's
actions On january the sixth of twenty twenty. One here
is part of what they put.

Speaker 14 (23:33):
Together this is. Fearless she never backs down from the.
Fight there is nothing more important she will ever do
than lead the effort to make Sure Donald trump is
never again near The oval.

Speaker 20 (23:44):
Office, well we know how that turned. Out it's far
Right warriorough wound up voting For Kamala. Harris so it's,
complicated as they say on social. Media but asked not
so long ago if he had any, regrets he, said,
quote not, Really.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Okay what do we Recommend armie? Today looks like?

Speaker 20 (23:59):
It but how this is this was subtle its election,
day of, course for the off terms with a few
of the governor's. Races as you've been mentioning in The
california redistricting measure and this vote for her top job
as mayor Of New York. City leading the mayoral race Is,
mandami the thirty four year old again and born and
self Described democratic socialists who was running on The democratic
ticket this after Former Governor Andrew, cuomo who was accused

(24:22):
of textual harassment by a number of, women was ousted
and forced to run as an independent in the mayor's. Race,
anyway then you'll. Post The murdoch owned Pro trump tabloid
in The Big apple has a front page out, today big,
letters headline, reading keep this commie.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
Out so that's.

Speaker 20 (24:37):
Subtle if that is too subtle for. Some trump has
Given cuomo a last minute, Endorsement so that'll really help
the one Time democratic. Governor Not mandami already as Mocking
cromo mercilessly for The trump. Backing polls have him about
ten points ahead Of. Croomo trump posted whether you personally
Like Andrew cuomo or, not you really have no.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
Choice democrats are.

Speaker 20 (24:59):
Hope to begin mounting some kind of political comeback with today's.
Voting the results of the governor's races In New jersey
And virginia will be very.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
Interesting, yes they will all, right, mate we'll See. Friday
Richard arnold, State so just a couple of poles. Out
THE nbc poll tied in with The trump, appearance of,
course on sixty, minutes sixty six percent says fall and
shorld of expectations on inflation and cost of. Living sixty
three percent blame the, administration also falling short on expectations
around the. Economy c and end this. Morning their pole
has him at an approval rating of thirty, seven which

(25:29):
is the lowest level in the second term so. Far
sixty eight percent think things are going badly for the
country seventy two, percent so the economy is in poor
shape ten to.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
Seven The Mike Hosking breakfast with A Veda Retirement Communities
news togs had been, probably.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
If you're, interested the most interesting race today outside Of New.
YORK i, mean it's interesting because It's New. York But
mondami's most likely going to win is The New jersey.
Race sky Called, chitarelly so he's The. Republican trump backs
them Against Mikey. Sheryl Now chitarelly came close to winning
back in twenty, one and the state has moved In
trump's direction in twenty four and so he's a he's

(26:10):
a local guy And cheryl. Isn't so there's that. Factor
there's The trump factor that moved towards. Them do they
then it's got the Whole have you changed your mind
now That trump's in power for a second time and
you think he's? Crazy he's got that vibe about. It
speaking of, which Are Lending, tree who are sort of
online lending. Marketplace they put a number on the, tariffs

(26:31):
Which i'll come to in just a couple of. Moments
they reckon the holiday season is going to this For
america is going to add forty billion dollars to the
price of. Stuff just generally consumers are going to have
to wear twenty eight billion of. It the rest is
going to be soaked up by the retailer. Themselves but
tariffs are worth forty billion dollars This christmas, season and
it depends on whether you think. It see in, electronics on,

(26:54):
average you'll pay one hundred and eighty six dollars more
per time per, shopper one hundred and eighty six dollars.
More clothing another eighty two. Bucks toys fourteen bucks and
you are fourteen. Bucks who cares but when you added
all up forty billion, dollars there is a lot of
money which brings us to this at five minutes away from.
Seven all the ins and the.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
Outs it's the biz with business, fiber take your business
productivity to the next.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
Level, NOW i hate to tell YOU i told, you,
sir BUT i THINK i told, you sir at the
start of the, TARIFFS i, said watch red meat and watch,
wine BECAUSE i think we might be able to sell through.
It and by THAT i meant and mean that it
doesn't matter what the teriffs. Are what we produce is
so good people will pay the price on the upper east,
side a bottle of with the hills and a good,

(27:38):
steak they'll pay anything for. It so therefore you can
whack any terarify. On so at the bottom end of the,
market which we tend not to be, in that's where
you get hit top end of the market you might
be able to trade. Through and we seem to be
able to back that up this morning with the red meat.
Sector so numbers For september seven hundred and thirty million
dollars worth of. Business that's a twenty nine percent increase
on last. Year this is global by the, way not
Just america for the quarter of that is now at

(28:00):
two point twenty seven, billion just for the, quarter which
is up twenty percent all major markets. INCREASES us exports
up twenty five percent at one seventy five, Million china
up twenty six, PERCENT eu up thirty six. Percent tariffs
don't seem to have AFFECTED us. Badly beef exports to
THE us are down seventeen and down To canada twenty
four but the meatia industry says that's other, factors not,

(28:22):
tariffs offset in part by a three hundred and one
percent volume increase to THE. Uk so that'll be THE.
Fta volume and value are two different, things AND i
will come to. That so the overall volume of beef
down five, percent the value, though up Fifteen so it
doesn't matter if you sell less if you're selling it
for way. More and when you really crunch through the

(28:44):
numbers and what they're telling us this, morning that's where
it gets. Interesting so that's beef sheep volumes are up fourteen,
percent values up forty Two so a good legal. Lamb
so it's not just the legal. Lamb it's a good legal.
Lamb this is why of The british farmers are so
freaked out because of course they grow sheep and they'd
love to buy and get supported by the, locals but
their cheap meats crap compared to, Ours so there's an

(29:04):
increase of. Exports this is once again ship meets Into
china up twelve but thirty eight percent in value to
THE us volume fourteen up but seventeen in. Value if
you want to go back to, beef beef is down
to The, states but the value is up fifteen. Percent
so what we're seeing here is it doesn't matter what
they do with, tariffs we sell more and for higher.

(29:27):
Prices are Also, China, japan And korea are going well through,
it so there seems no end to the, dairy to the,
wine to the red meat of varying. Description so it's,
encouraging which then brings us back, economically speaking to our economy,
Today so we think five two five, three five point,
two five point three as the unemployment. Rate my guess

(29:47):
is that that is that whatever it is, today it
will only get better from. Here so we'll crunch the
more numbers on the job, front and a couple of
moments for, you.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
Credible compelling the breakfast.

Speaker 19 (29:59):
Show you.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Best it's the mic asking, breakfast were the defender embrace
the impossible?

Speaker 2 (30:04):
News tom be past. Seven so the job numbers, today
which might indicate a couple of. Things one are they
up and if, so by how? Much and two is
that it is today the worst of it and jobs
being the last cab off the old economic turnaround? Rank
are we headed for better? Days Michael, gordon wistpac's senior
economists back with. Us michael, Morning good. Morning what you
got five point?

Speaker 9 (30:23):
Three, yeah we've got five point. THREE i, think like
most of the market are, expecting we're starting to see
a bit of stabilization in the employment. Numbers it's, encouraging
but bear in mind we're still getting people coming out
of school coming into the country looking for. Work we're
not really doing enough to just absorb those people in
the workforce just.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
Yet it wasn't too long ago that some people were
saying five point five And i'll never forget THAT i read.
Sex when did that materially? Change and do we think
five to two five three is about?

Speaker 21 (30:50):
It?

Speaker 9 (30:52):
YEAH i think it's been a bit of realization about
the effects of basically participation in the work forces has
absorbed some And, essentially it's really come to the younger
people in, particular so as they've BEEN i guess first
on the chopping block is the economy. SLOWED a lot
of them have gone back to school or stayed in
school for, longer so they're showing up in the ranks

(31:13):
of not in the workforce as opposed to actively unemployed
and seeking.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
Work these last couple of weeks where we've seen the
numbers of job ads going, up when does that materially
feed through to these sort of numbers we'll see, TODAY.

Speaker 9 (31:27):
I think it will take a week. WHILE i guess
while the job ads have been heading up a little,
bit they're still at a very low, level so there's
always some tune that goes on and so some advertising that's.
Needed but we're still kind of at levels of job
vacancies that are not much above. Tune SO i think
we need to see quite a bit more progress on.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
There and today how, lumpy how industry region all of?

Speaker 9 (31:49):
That, WELL i think with the number today it's always,
lumpy just because it is a. Survey you have to
be a little bit wary of getting some, surprise is.
There BUT i think if you look at some of
the other jobs indicators we've, had there's probably a sense
Of South island's doing better than The North island. EFFECTIVELY
i think the kind of the rural influence has some

(32:10):
decent commodity prices at the moment's helping well.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
Exactly so the forecast for next, year you, think as
you sit here talking to us this, morning is what.

Speaker 9 (32:17):
Down, yeah we're expecting it to peak by the end
of this. Year for the unemployment rates about five point
FOUR i, mean don't would be too precise about the
exact decimal, place but you do expect it to improve
somewhat gradually over next, year but getting BELOW i think
five percent marked by the end of next year.

Speaker 2 (32:33):
And the cut, coming assuming there is one of twenty five,
Points does that materially play into any of this or?

Speaker 9 (32:38):
NOT i think IT'S i, mean it's all. HELPFUL i
think at this point the kinds of interest rates that people,
say so your morgit, rates deposit, rates business loan rates
and so, on are baking in that additional twenty five
point cuts in The Braserve. Bank if they did, more
then we might get a bit more movement on those
interest rates and add a bit more juice to the.

(32:59):
Economy but at the moment there seems to be a
pretty well settled opinion in the market that there will
be another twenty five In.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
November, okay appreciate your. Expertise Michael, Gordon westpac casting your
economists ten minutes past, seven asking, now if you're watching
Question time, yesterday and let's be, honest who Doesn't labour's
clearly got a sniff on homeless?

Speaker 22 (33:16):
Policy is the government considering a law change to ban
homeless people from central business?

Speaker 10 (33:20):
Districts there have been no cabinet decisions or discussion on that.

Speaker 22 (33:23):
Topic if boosting people out of emergency accommodation has fixed
the homelessness, problem why is the government now considering changing
the law to ban homeless.

Speaker 11 (33:34):
People this government has delivered housing affordability for people who
want to purchase.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
A house or to rent a, house so they clearly
got are with, you haven't? They beck is the heart
of the, CITY ceo In auckland's where usb morning? Morning
do you know? Anything?

Speaker 23 (33:48):
Well we released a business survey four weeks, ago as you,
know AND i think that has put economic risks into
sharp focus and we've actually been party to very constructive
discussion in that. Time about how we resolve. Issues AND
i can say that The minister For, AUCKLANDS i Mean,
brown has has picked us up and working with other

(34:10):
ministers as you, know people Like Mutual Tama, potaker and
the Discussions i've been involved in are very constructively looking
at how do we deal with the economic risk which
are real and how do we look after people who need. Support,
so as far As i'm, concerned we've seen good.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
Progress Good so is there a law change? Coming do
you know or do you?

Speaker 23 (34:31):
Hope, WELL i don't know for sure where the government's
going to land on, this and that's that we you,
know they'll make that announcement when they're. Ready but WHAT
i do know is we need a game. Changer we've
got a situation here WHERE i think there is strong
recognition that a situation has, arisen arose THROUGH.

Speaker 17 (34:49):
Covid we've had various.

Speaker 23 (34:51):
Bursts of, activity more, police different social, action but it's
not actually resolving the issue to a point that we.
Need we're coming out of ten years of. Disruption we
have to have a different. Scenario so What i'm seeing
is we need a game. Changer we can't just keep
moving people around as long as there were really good

(35:12):
solutions for vulnerable. PEOPLE i think a majority of the
people that we represent would support a scenario where you
don't lie on streets or you house.

Speaker 2 (35:22):
PEOPLE i don't know. WHY i don't know if you're
Watching parliament, yesterday but they seem squeamish about. It why
don't we just just just be a bit blunt about?
It and the, cold hard truth of homelessness is that
it ruins central cities and we need to clean it
up and clear it. OUT i, mean it's that, simple isn't.

Speaker 17 (35:38):
IT i believe. So and what's been really pleasing in.

Speaker 23 (35:41):
The last four weeks is that there has been constructive
debate and people are recognizing these are real. Issues we
need to be bold about. This we do have to
care for. People we've got a track record of caring for.
People the reality, is though we cannot leave it the
way it, is it does need a game change AND
i really hope the politics don't abotage a really important

(36:01):
issue that needs.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
Resolving i'm very well, said appreciate, it Vib, beck who's
the heart of the. City and this is not Just.
Awkland of, Course wellington and Christ you to suffered the same.
Fates Mark mitchell's And bolden. This he's with us after eight,
o'clock of, course but The Labour party we're Watching Question time.
Yesterday we're asking as though somehow removing homeless people from
downtown and bringing life to downtown was a bad, thing

(36:23):
which seemed to me to be the weirdest way of
asking you a. Question never anyway. More later thirteen PASSED Osk,
MIKE i think you're. Right i've been unemployed since last,
year about to start working again for the highest. Wage
yet things seem to be on the upland very pleased
and encouraged to hear that, Morning. Mike the beef price
is amazing at the. MOMENT a sold some empty cold
dairy cows last. Week previous, years you'd be happy with

(36:44):
seven fifty for a cold. Car last week it was
eighteen hundred and fifty seven fifty to eighteen hundred and, Fifty.
Mike what impact is thank god someone's asked, This, Colleen
thank You god bless. You what impact is our low
dollar skewing the value of our goods having just come
back from THE, uk our dollar is only worth forty
two when they're In april of twenty. Four our dollars fifty,

(37:05):
two spending the equivalent of twenty bucks per morning two
was a. Killer, yes that's my whole. Point my whole
point is where a net importer sadly shouldn't, be but we.
Are and importation when you're forty two is not good
for the. Economy and yes it's great for the, exporters
but at some point we've got to have a, balance
and the balance isn't forty two or As andrew was
suggesting this, morning settling at fifty FIVE us fourteen past.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
The mike Asking Breakfast Full show podcast On iHeartRadio powered
By News talks at B News.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
Talks have we got a fuel security plan they're putting
out today which is going to? It, WELL i hope
it's going to solve our, problem But i'll give you details.
Shortly seventeen pass great concert debate as Well Eden. Park next,
Step what have we got when The Rama minister's written
to the council wants feedback on twenty medium sized concerts
that's on top of the twelve they're already allowed to, have,
so in other, words thirty two concerts a year under
the NEW rma. Rules The minister's got the final, say

(37:57):
The minister, is of Course Chris, bishop who's with. Us good,
more good. Morning so in writing to the, council how
could you possibly object to more?

Speaker 24 (38:03):
Business, well the law requires THAT i statutorily consult, them
and that's what we're doing along with the local. Community
they've got twenty working days to respond and then hopefully
we'll be able to move on These Eden park. Restrictions we.
Reckon it's costing The eukland economy probably four hundred million
dollars over the next ten years if we don't remove
these restrictions hundreds of. Jobs so it's definitely something worth.

Speaker 2 (38:23):
Doing so can we just say that if you're going to,
mine don't worry about, it you're going to go ahead
and do it.

Speaker 24 (38:27):
Anyway, WELL i can't say, that But i'm going to
be going to listen in good faith to all of the,
feedback As i'm required to do by the.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
Law but it's pretty.

Speaker 24 (38:37):
CLEAR i think that anyone who looks at it reasonably
will looks at it and, says, well it's just ridiculous
that you can't have more than twelve concerts per, year you,
know more than six different. Artists so we're proposing twenty large,
concerts so ten large concerts per year and twenty medium sized.
Concerts no restrictions on A sunday for, example much greater
expansion of the time, limits more variety shows and culture

(39:00):
shows at Eden, park you, know more trade, shows things like.
That all these things will be good For auckland ultimately
good for the. Economy what's the timeframe on, This, oh
we'll have done By, Christmas so council's got twenty working
days to respond and then there's a bit of a
cabinet process to go through after, that but that's a
matter of.

Speaker 2 (39:16):
Weeks so we'll have it done hopefully By. Christmas so
by twenty twenty Six Eden park could be hosting up
to thirty two concerts per.

Speaker 24 (39:23):
Year, yes it will take effect almost immediately and it
will BASICALLY i will change the district plan through regulatory
power THAT i now have and we gave The parliament
gave me those powers In august this, year so we've
moved really quickly.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
On this is the demand, THERE i, mean will there
be thirty two? Events, well let's wait and.

Speaker 24 (39:43):
SEE i, mean Obviously Louise upston's working on this major
events package And i'm told that there's quite a degree
of interest around the world in. That but you, know
the point, is if you've got the zone and, sorted
and you've got the rules, sorted if the demand is,
there you can have it at the. Moment if the demands,
there you, can't and which is a ridiculous state of.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
Affairs so let's wait and.

Speaker 24 (40:06):
SEE i think numbers will go up and down a
bit over the next few, years, obviously you know it
depending on who's touring and demand and the economics and
all that, stuff all the things that are outside our.
Control but the thing that is within our, control or
it's now within our control or soon to, be is
the number of concerts you can, have the times you
can have, them all of those sort of rules around.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
That we can control. That and we're going to, oh
not good to talk to you appreciate, It Chris, bishop
THE rna. Ministers the weirdest, thing isn't it build this
facility you never use? It Is Serena williams the thing
still the age of forty? Five, venus my. Apologies is
she still a thing at the age of forty? Five
would you buy tickets to? GOOD i, mean is she
still coming when she's seventy. TWO i, mean when does

(40:46):
it you no longer become as?

Speaker 25 (40:47):
That?

Speaker 2 (40:47):
Anyway the tennis is What i'm talking. About we'll talk

apply on that the chemist's. Warehouse there are some great
savings every Day ski seven twenty. Four so here's a
Lineup elex, seven Former head Of, Scotland dame Nol Leen
taurarua And Susie. Wilds you Remember Susie wiles's. Microbiologist, anyway

(42:04):
The salmon family this week is wanting the estate made
bankrupt comes out of a judicial review over the handling
of a couple of complaints against him by civil servants
that turned out to be. Tainted in other, words his
defense was, successful but the cost of winning proved too.
High Noel, LEAN i got no idea what her lawyers,
cost but you would hope as part of the deal
she gets the bill, covered but you know, WHAT i doubt.
It and Then Susie. Wiles now you may remember she

(42:25):
took her, employer The Auckland, university to court and she.
Won she took, mediation arbitration went back and forward and
for a while ad ultimately though ended up in court
and DURING covid she was. Harassed she claimed her employer
should have done more to protect. Her she has now
launched a crowdfunding page to help pay for her. Bills,
now the commonality here is all three appear to be

(42:46):
on the right. Side they have been, wronged they have
had to defend, themselves and yet all three appear now
to be out of pocket for the. Experience wiles has spent,
thousands hundreds of thousands of, FACT i think from reading
six hundred thousand dollars. Plus she's taken out loans here
and a. Husband she's. Won she's, won but she's paying off. Loans,
inherently there's a fault in the, law don't you. THINK i,
mean the costs even when, awarded never cover the. Bill

(43:08):
my question is why? Not is justice really served or
seen to be. Done if you can be, victorious if
you can defend your, name your, honor your, reputation and
still go, broke doesn't that mean the deepest pocket's always
going to? Triumph the state. V, salmon a sport via,
coach a university via. Microbiologist it's one thing to, Settle,
yes it saves court. Time but do you settle because

(43:30):
you would be broke if you. Didn't is being broke
and right. Worth it is launching a crowdfunding bit acceptable
when you didn't do anything? Wrong is the justice system
serving as properly when even the victorious and the validated
aren't really? Winners ask egg and anything about, That, Mike
you should see the homeless problem and tower wrong are
in the behavior of some of the people living in

(43:50):
cars with their. Dogs. MIKE i lived and worked in
the city all my. Life the biggars were around In
hell In clark's. Reign it wasn't A covid. Thing, well
it was A covid. THING i, MEAN i get. It
there's always been homelessness major centers and cities around the,
world and they're directly linked with left leaning. Governments if
you go to a place Like San francisco Or Los
angeles Or New, york there are more homeless than there
are In. Dallas statement of, Fact, mike boot them. Out

(44:12):
hawaii is a tourist. Destination they don't muck. Around why
Why kiki Diamond head they pick come up and move them.
On just, Wait. Mike my reading of The New ZEALAND
us dollar using The elliot wave theory is that over
the next, decade The New zealand dollar will firm against
THE us dollar to the extent THE nzd will reach
parity with THE. Us, bollocks absolute unadulterated bollocks with The

(44:32):
elliott wave. Theory don't you know about The elliot wave?
Theory look it? Up WELL i. Do it's worth. Reading
but it's even on The elliot wave, theory it's not
going to. Happen we can't reach parity With. Australia we're
certainly not going to do it with THE. Us, mike
many businesses hedge THE us. Dollar, yeah but the PROBLEM
gym with the hedging is that hedging doesn't last. Forever

(44:52):
you don't hedge. Forever your hedge on a contract and
the contract comes to an. End it depends when you
won what you hedge, at and so how long the
Contrac now we come to fuel and the business of.
Security REMEMBER i remember sitting in the television studio in
the election campaign When Bill english was taking On Jacinda
dune AND i asked her about that, airport remember the
airport hole in the pipe At Auckland. Airport AND i,

(45:14):
said you're going to do a second. One she goes,
ABSOLUTELY i, Am AND i, thought you're a. Liar you're
not doing that. Anyway she. Didn't but we still have
a fuel supply, problem and as of today we have a. Plan.
Apparently it's details short.

resilience and reduced dependency on global. Markets so we're supporting

(46:22):
domestic fuel, alternatives investing in critical infrastructure and stockpiling national.
Reserves that is this morning's. News Shane jones is of,
course The Associate Energy minister and is with. Us good
morning to.

Speaker 15 (46:32):
You hey morning.

Speaker 2 (46:33):
Folks now what are we actually doing things as of
today or just announcing?

Speaker 3 (46:37):
This Ah.

Speaker 15 (46:39):
No since the refinery closed, down we've shifted the focus
away from The Middle. East we draw our refined fuel From.
Asia there's always going to be some geopolitical uncertainty up.
There so we've introduced twenty eight days storage obligations for,
petrol twenty one days for, DIESEL i think twenty four
days for aviation fuel and expanded those obligations on the

(47:03):
oil companies who so briefully sold the.

Speaker 2 (47:07):
Refinery, indeed the critical infrastructure that we talk, of is
that needing to be built or have we got enough
of it to do all the?

Speaker 15 (47:14):
Storage, yeah there's about one hundred and eighty million leaders
with a capacity up there At Marston point and Around Mount.
Monganui and other places in The South. Island but the
bottom line is you need a plan in the event
that there's some, geopolitical egregious, event how do you ration
and over, time how do you move your economy onto

(47:35):
other sources of. Fuel Now i'm not really a Doubting,
thomas But i've yet to see this bio energy thing
make commercial. Sense, yes in the face of cheaper. Alternatives,
WELL i.

Speaker 2 (47:46):
Was going to what's the domestic fuel? Alternative what is?

Speaker 15 (47:48):
That, well if you listen to In New, zealand they
want to create a new type of aviation fuel that
blends bio energy into the aviation fuel and possible do
that At Marsden. Point Marsden point will never deliver that
potential unless it's got to bespoke planing process like especial economic.
Zone but that's a discussion for another.

Speaker 2 (48:10):
Tab, yeah how real is? That because you've been going
on About marsden for ages and didn't we look At
marsden decide where it's just as much as we would like,
to we just count afford.

Speaker 15 (48:18):
IT i, mean the bottom line WAS i was told
it could cost up to four to six billion dollars
to recapitalize. It, well, know a Model. Luddite there's no
way that the crown has got that sort of. Dough
so we work with the board up there and THE,
CEO i mean the board's led by a chap Called James,
millar i'd, say one of the brightest commercial leaders In New,
zealand and he's.

Speaker 13 (48:39):
Come up with a.

Speaker 15 (48:39):
Plan it may or may not one day involve The
american military using those facilities as well as they spread
their risk management plan around The. Pacific, obviously the actual
morphport has tremendous capacity to import more, fuel but the
bottom line is this proposal enables us to store more
and That New zealand focuses on the. Vulnerabilities it's not

(49:03):
the most colorful news of the, day certainly doesn't match
My maori relations sort of loss in A Snoop dogg
moment in their own, party but it's stuff that keeps
the economy.

Speaker 2 (49:14):
Going have you just announced The american military are going
to set up a base here and un nuclear submarines.

Speaker 15 (49:19):
COMING i really think, mate that we've got a brilliant.
Port we're going to have a dry dock, Facility we're
expanding North port And i've always been a supporter to
involve The american military in Regarding New zealand as a
great place for storage purposes and one day perhaps even

(49:41):
to use our dry dock. Facility it's WELL i campaigned
on that in twenty.

Speaker 2 (49:45):
Twenty by the, Way Business desk grand a story, yesterday
less than ten percent your provincial growth fund less than
ten percent has been. Repaid is that a story or
not a? Story, NO a lot of.

Speaker 15 (49:58):
The debt that was entered INTO i mean quite a
febit of the debt has been paid back of large. Amounts,
however a lot of this debt was spread over a
long period of. Time and it's like any sort of blending,
institution you have a few that are difficult to, manage
and the others just carry on and they pay their
way going. Forward and often THE pgf chows areas where

(50:21):
the private sector was never going to, do such as
recapitalizing water storage in parts Of New zealand that the
market just can't find a commercial solution. To, look it's
always going to be in used where they should the
crown have had to. Go should it make take a,
Risk it section.

Speaker 13 (50:35):
Some work and some dope.

Speaker 2 (50:36):
Work nice doctor has Always Shane Jones Associate Energy minister
eighteen minutes away from it asking my favorite story of the,
MORNING i think is The Wellington City council who have
won an International City Safety awards and congratulations on that
for the quote unquote measurable success in reducing. Crime which

(50:57):
point you obviously, go if you're In wellington or know
anything About, wellington go but wait a, minute is crime reducing?
Enough of course it's. Not crimes actually on the. Rise so,
anyway the seven point seven million Pon necky, promise so
that came out in twenty twenty. One the promise is
now on The United states Based Hermann Goldstein. Award do

(51:17):
you Reckon herman knew The elliott.

Speaker 16 (51:19):
FLOW i think they may discordedgether.

Speaker 2 (51:20):
IT i think that did excellence and problem oriented, policing
which recognized outstanding problem solving initiatives that achieved measurable success
in reducing, crime disorder and public safety. Challenges the submission
was made by the. Police the police victimization, data which
is publicly available on the website by the, way shows
that crime has increased in that. Time crime was trending
up across the Whole Wellington City council area and in

(51:43):
the the Wider wellington. Region but the data In Defence
council Spokesperson richard, mclin the data used to win the
award was quote unquote a bespoke, Boundary isn't it? Always
isn't it?

Speaker 16 (51:58):
Always it's felt Like i'm frequently. Confused In, washington D.
C you, know they Put Judge janine in their first
clean up crime And trump we're now in patrol and
declared That washington was crime, free and it seems like
every second day she's doing a press conference about somebody
that they.

Speaker 2 (52:14):
Had the crime is. Arrested was the crime? Crimes the crime?
Up it was the crime? Down faction FIGURES a seventeen
to Two The.

Speaker 1 (52:22):
Mike Hosking Breakfast Full show podcast On iHeartRadio powered By News.

Speaker 2 (52:27):
Talks At me fourteen to, Wait Susie Wiles mike sought
the lime. Light she reveled in. It she's a. Narcissist,
now this is WHY i did WHAT i did this.
Morning so my point, is and you failed to see.
It whether you Like susie, WAS i personally am not
a particular fan of. Hers we sort of banned it
from the program after a. While during THE covid, Period
because if you asked me to observe her behavior in

(52:49):
the public, DOMAIN i tend to agree with. YOU i
tend to think she rebeled in, it AND i think
she was permanently available to talk about her particular area in.
Media you might remember she got herself in dreadful trouble
because she was, cycling or remember she cycled through town
and broke a lockdown and got all that sort of.
Stuff but she became sort of one of the, lovies

(53:11):
one of the, adernites and, so but that's not the.
Point the. Point whether you like her or not is
not the. Point the point is she took her employer
to an official through an official procedure that involved mediation
and arbitration and eventually ended up in, court and she.
Won the fact you like, it doesn't, it, well don't like,
it doesn't. Matter the fact she said the employer should

(53:32):
have protected her more is the, case and it was
the case that was ruled on and she. Won but in,
winning she's had to take out loans of six hundred
thousand dollars and she's still paying that. Off hence her
save me fund me page that she's now appealing. For
so your personal view is irrelevant because it's a procedure
That i'm talking. About and my point, being if you're

(53:55):
going to take a procedure and you're going to win
in that, procedure what's the point of taking a winning
in the press if all you do is run yourself?
Bankrupt AND i gave you three reasonably good examples of,
that by the, way speaking of WHICH i did Cite Nolan,
turru who we don't know what the legal bills are
and whether they get covered or. Not but we went,
back of, course Because i'm desperate to hear From Netball New,
zealand because they explain nothing to us during the. Process

(54:18):
nolan comes on this program on whenever it Was, Monday
i'm assuming explain, really to be, honest explain. Nothing and
if you get those that lot together and you then
place yourself as a fly on the wall Within Netball New,
zealand my, god you need some tyler, ol wouldn't. YOU i,
mean what a headache of a place to be involved.
WITH i, mean if that's the way they talk to
each other all the, time you'd go literally spare in

(54:40):
about three, MINUTES i would have. Thought but, nevertheless we
went back To, netbull who said they will be making
no further comment on, us to which we, said, WELL
i bet that's, right Because i'll be wanting this thing
to go. Away but what doesn't go away is the
cold hard fact that there are millions of dollars of
taxpayers money going into the, sport a beleagued sport, anyway
a sport that was on on its knees, anyway now

(55:01):
being supported by the taxpayer through Performance sport In New
zealand or high Performance sport In New, zealand whatever they call.
Themselves and therefore they're publicly are they? Not they are publicly,
accountable and yet seemingly they're refusing to be ten minutes
away from.

Speaker 1 (55:15):
It The Mike hosking breakfast with The defender us.

Speaker 2 (55:19):
To dead B Awkland university couldn't possibly stop people. Abusing
while it's unfair to find them, responsible that that equally
doesn't matter either because you're not the judge and you're
not really litigating. It the process was taking them to
one all. Right, now, LISTEN i need to raise this
with The Prime minister On monday because SOMETHING i think
reasonably significant has happened In. Australia the latest of which

(55:42):
is that the government are set to introduce a bill
this week to impose quotas On, Netflix disney and other
services with at least a million. Subscribers it's The Content
obligation and it will require these services to invest at
least ten percent of their total expenditure For australian in
the production of local. Content and you can do children's,
documentaries educational program whatever you, want but you've got to

(56:04):
spend the. Money, now this is very. Contentious and this
is another example and you've got to Give elbow credit
on this because he's now done three. Things one he's
got big tech And i've told you about this on the.
Program he's got big. Tech to aquiest to the under
sixteens on the social. Media they would drag kicking and,
screaming but at The senate inquiry last week they. Acquiesced
now it won't work and it's. Delusional and every fifteen

(56:26):
year old when the site goes ARE u sixteen are,
over will go, YES i am, SO i mean it's not.
Real but at least the social media is. Aquiesced they
also very quietly this week announced A Journalist's fund which
will support local journalism because the local journalism In australia's
being killed by the international players the same way it

(56:46):
as in this, country and now they're doing this local. Content.
Now the local content was probably the most contentious because
why Would netflix possibly want to set aside money to
produce local production in a place Like australia by force
when they can spend their money wherever they want to
do and make whatever they, want because they're in the
business of making programs that people want to. WATCH i,

(57:07):
mean if they thought that making programs In australia would
bring a lot of people to their, screens they would
because that's the free. Market so they were in the
early stages of. Angst we're saying things like not Just,
netflix But, disney all the big. Players we're, going, well
i'll tell you what if you're going to play those
rules to you know what we're. Doing we're packing our
tea and we're going. Home but the important point here

(57:27):
is that at all of these, Scenarios New zealand was, going,
well let's see what happens In. Australia let's see what
happens In. Australia and that was an easy WAY i
suspect for the government to get out of it because
they knew full well that chances are nothing would happen In.
Australia so every time somebody raised it and said we
need more money for local, production or we need more
money for local, journalists or we need to ban some
under sixteens on social, media the government could quite rightly, say,

(57:49):
well look we've looked at. It it's a very complicated
area and it's very, difficult AND i think these major
players are going to pack up and go, home so
we can't really do. It and look At. Australia they
tried and, failed and yet Now australia tried and didn't.
FAIL i mean the under, sixteens AS i, say is
going to be you, know it's more it's show pony.
Stuff but a fund is a fund for. Journalists and
these Guys, Netflix, disney et cetera are Putting asia ten.

(58:12):
Percent that, is they think about one point three billion
dollars a year going into local. Production netflix alone On
australia's got six point two million, subscribers so them alone
at one point three billion, dollars that's a tremendous amount
of money for local. Production so then the question goes
back on our government does it not as to if

(58:32):
they can do, it why can't? We And Paul goldsmith's
in charge of, this and to be fair To, PAUL
i quite Like. Paul he's a good, bloke but in
terms of his credentials as The Broadcasting minister and stuff
he's achieved since he's been in the, job struggling to
find a long list of achievements and boxes. Ticked so

(58:53):
now pressure presumably is on. Him so watch this. Space
i'll raise it with The Prime minister On. MONDAY i
shouldn't have told you this now because half the media
is going to, go, actually that's kind a good. Idea
we forgot about that. Story let's go do it. Today so,
anyway If i'd sparked a few sleepy journalists into life
to do a half decent, story that'll be no bad.
Thing but assuming they won't raise it with The Prime
minister On, monday and see where we go with, This i've,

(59:15):
also in saying, this given The Prime minister some fore
warnings so he doesn't look at me On monday and
in that kind of when are you talking about kind
of way that He.

Speaker 16 (59:25):
There's been a new segment perhaps on the show like
a little sneak peek and things we're thinking about.

Speaker 2 (59:30):
Discovery didn't we do that with a? Doom didn't we
go down that track with The? Doom because she got
caught out so many? Times we sort of prelluded to
what might be happening on the program at a later. Stage,
Anyway politics in a moment for, You Mark, Mitchell Ginny
anderson here on the make costing.

Speaker 1 (59:44):
Press asking the, questions others what the mic asking breakfast With, vita, retirement,
communities life Your Way, news tog, said be.

Speaker 2 (01:00:10):
EXCLUDES i quite like The, vita don't like your. Voices
Georgia knight Bean pole is the album, now she did
this in twenty twenty, three but she's only just releasing it.

(01:00:30):
Now i've already done Next tuesday's program might be out Until.
Thursday is?

Speaker 16 (01:00:35):
There how you knew what we were going to talk
about at The Prime minister On.

Speaker 2 (01:00:38):
Monday i've already done The Prime. MINISTER i did him.
Yesterday i'm actually on holiday among.

Speaker 6 (01:00:44):
YOU i haven't seen you for.

Speaker 2 (01:00:47):
Weeks signals are sonic reimagining for the artist that teaches
away from her folk foundations and steps deeper into a
world of darker terrain and cinematic breath largely composed by
her on auto hard, thing but she hasn't known many of.
Them only eight songs and just that defivements and fifty

(01:01:08):
four seas a go. GOOD i like. IT i like
to leave there. Anyway minutes past day time for Politics, Wednesday,
mark which was with Us, Morning Mark, Morning mike And
Jenny Anderson's Good, Morning, Jinny Good. MORNING a couple of quick, Things,
mark just for. You, Jeez i've got three AND i
don't want to get bogged down on, this but real,
quick this breath test that this breath test, thing why

(01:01:31):
do people doctor breath?

Speaker 21 (01:01:32):
Tests, WELL i mean that's a good. Question they've obviously
they've launched a quick. Investigation now it's a it's an
employment matter with. Police but the thing that's, GOOD i,
mean it's really. Good they picked it up in the
audit that they're checking and now they're dealing with, it you.
KNOW i, mean obviously the expectation is that people that
police officers aren't doing, this but they are taking extion on.

Speaker 14 (01:01:53):
It.

Speaker 2 (01:01:54):
Okay SO i just couldn't get to the bottom of
it in the sense is the inference That i've been
pulled up PING i ping a, whatever and THEN i
slip them and he makes it go.

Speaker 26 (01:02:05):
Away the, metrics whether they're doing it or, not they're
saying they're doing that when they're not doing.

Speaker 21 (01:02:11):
It it's what it is that is that they're pressing
the button so in the audit's being picked up that
they might be driving from one location to another and.

Speaker 2 (01:02:19):
They pressed the breath tests on the way it.

Speaker 21 (01:02:22):
Will register a breath, test but actually they've they're in
trendsit so it's impossible to actually be.

Speaker 2 (01:02:28):
To the bottom of something like. That is someone going
to get sacked for? That you can't go around doing.
That this is not good.

Speaker 13 (01:02:32):
Mark.

Speaker 21 (01:02:33):
Well people have to be held to account for. It
there's no doubt about. That and that's what the police are.
Doing and they're now involved in an employment process and
making sure they do that because you, know the integrity
of Our New zealand police is fundamentally so. Important we
should be extremely proud of. Them we've got we, have
in my, view got the best police force in the.
World public confidence is. Growing they're doing an outstanding job

(01:02:54):
and by the, way their internal audits pick the stuff,
up so they're dealing with.

Speaker 2 (01:02:58):
It next one mix skimming and all the other.

Speaker 25 (01:03:00):
LIAS i just.

Speaker 26 (01:03:01):
SORRY i was just wondering If mark thought it was this.
MONTH i THINK i think it's the twenty seventh Of
november that he's meant to have reached five. Hundred additional
police is what the electron promise, was and some of
the reckoning is that that police are under additional pressure
to have to deliver on these things without the, resources
and this demonstrates how stretched the frontline really is when

(01:03:22):
you start to see things like.

Speaker 21 (01:03:23):
This quite the, Opposite, jenny And i'm not sure what.

Speaker 25 (01:03:26):
You're going to make five hundred you may.

Speaker 21 (01:03:28):
So let me address that is that SINCE i came
into SINCE i Became Police, Minister i've been having to
work on these issues that fermented under the previous. Government
i've gone back And i've increased the training from sixteen
weeks to twenty. Weeks IF i wanted to speed things
up and get recruits, THROUGH i would have done what
you guys had and left it a sixteen. WEEKS i

(01:03:49):
didn't move it out to twenty because we've made a
commitment to five. Hundred we stayed by that. Commitment we're
not We've one thing we did is we were removed
and pulled.

Speaker 2 (01:03:58):
Back the overuse of.

Speaker 21 (01:04:00):
Discretion we've said that we standards matter and we're going
to maintain those and we're not going to compromise on.
It and if that means that we're a bit slow
or it takes a bit, longer so be, ye right.

Speaker 2 (01:04:10):
Right that's next one real quick mixed skimming and the?
Others how many? Others and how? Big how big a
problem is this bubbling to?

Speaker 21 (01:04:17):
BE i can't speak about that because there is suppression
orders in.

Speaker 2 (01:04:23):
Place will they be suppressed? FOREVER i, mean ALL i
want to know is there are a lot of porn being
looked at on them police. Computers and why if you're
a policeman you're looking at a lot of stuff? Online?

Speaker 21 (01:04:33):
No, no sorry, Sorry so so basically, yes so obviously
the commissioner on finding out that or becoming you know
that THAT gm At skimming has allegedly had bestiality and
all sorts of different objectionable sort of.

Speaker 2 (01:04:47):
Things on his.

Speaker 21 (01:04:48):
Computer they they are now he put in place immediately
an audit and strengthen the system. Up and because of
that there's been some each is and now they're dealing with.

Speaker 2 (01:05:01):
It, Okay, ginny where'd you get your homeless question from
not you personally but your? Party where do you get
the homelessness question from yesterday in The?

Speaker 26 (01:05:07):
House that was information that had been provided to the
party to people and we had asked a few questions
and we felt that it was worth asking The Prime
minister himself in question time yesterday to verify whether that was.

Speaker 2 (01:05:20):
Correct did you, well who are your? SOURCES i, mean
are they good? Sources are a bit of a bit
of a whisper around the.

Speaker 26 (01:05:25):
Corridors it seemed that it was a reasonably good, source
but the government has yet to confirm whether that's correct or.
Not but we're interested to know what those conversations that
have been going on With Auckland council and we know
that homelessness has got worse in that CENTRAL cbd area
Of auckland and people are feeling quite unsafe.

Speaker 2 (01:05:44):
In beiged and the sooner we clear them, out the,
better mark are you going to clear them?

Speaker 21 (01:05:46):
Out, well we Just i'm just going to go. Back
What i've done is brought back. Hell this is not
really pleasing issue that police are. Doing the outstanding. Job
crime is coming down THE. Cbd this is a homeless
and a rough.

Speaker 2 (01:05:58):
Sleeper you'll need clean.

Speaker 25 (01:05:59):
Them we have to do.

Speaker 21 (01:06:02):
Well if you let me, finish we'll Bring we're going
to bring our stakeholder group back, together which has been
very very successful in dealing with these. Issues we're going
to identify exactly what the issues are and we're going
to make sure that we've that we help these people
and that we Were it doesn't matter whether you live in, rural, provincial,
urban or City New. Zealand you deserve to be able
to be safe and not.

Speaker 2 (01:06:22):
Have to deal with his answers change the. Law So
Paul goldsmith.

Speaker 21 (01:06:27):
And justice are doing a lot of work around.

Speaker 2 (01:06:29):
That we've.

Speaker 21 (01:06:29):
Got Uh, so, yeah there's you, know he's got his
advisory group that are bringing you, know ideas.

Speaker 10 (01:06:37):
Forward and of course you've Got.

Speaker 21 (01:06:38):
Ryan hamilton's move On, bill which is in The biscuit,
tin which was fully supported By caucus and The Prime
minister and and helps give some powers that don't exist
currently to being able to.

Speaker 2 (01:06:47):
Deal hold, On, Jenny, now hold, On, Jennie i'll give
you a, saying just a couple of. Mons Jenny, Anderson
Mark mentell Thirteen past The.

Speaker 1 (01:06:53):
Mike Husking Breakfast Full show podcast On iHeartRadio By News Talks.

Speaker 2 (01:06:59):
Bill be sixteen past Eight, politics when's They Marke, Mitchell
Jenny Anderson. Genny the QUESTION i thought was interesting about
the question was you seem to ask it in a
way that if they were going to change the, law
that's a bad. Thing isn't it a good? Thing don't
we want to clean up?

Speaker 26 (01:07:11):
Behomeless, well first of, all we need to be clear
that this government he's cut off funding for emergency housing
twenty million lease in the last year and the direct
result of that is increased, homelessness and that's why we've seen.
It so first of, all they should take responsibility for
making this problem even. Worse and second of, ALL i
think there's a whole lot of people in the suburbs
Surrounding auckland who want to know whereabouts these people are

(01:07:33):
going to be Pot are they going to be outside
their front, door in their.

Speaker 25 (01:07:36):
Park or outside their kids'.

Speaker 26 (01:07:37):
School it's not going to make the problem go away
by just picking them up and putting them somewhere.

Speaker 25 (01:07:42):
Else it's just. Irresponsible Mark, Well, well.

Speaker 21 (01:07:45):
First of, all we've got kids out of emergency, housing
which there's a massive growth of children living in.

Speaker 2 (01:07:50):
Motels either the people we've. Done It's. Mark come, On,
jenny you've had your.

Speaker 21 (01:07:54):
Say we were dealing with fifteen what we call rough
sleepers in THE. Cbd most of those had somewhere to,
go they were choosing to come into THE cbd as
part of a. Community it does often the behavior is.
Antisocial they're not only a risk to the, public but
there's also risks to them as well in terms of their.
Safety and, yes absolutely we've Supported Ryan hamilton's move on

(01:08:18):
orders that currently neither the neither local government nor central
government have got the powers to be able to take
these people and put them in a safe location rather
than living on the, streets which is not safe for
them nor the. Public so, yes we're going to take
each on.

Speaker 2 (01:08:33):
Super, Quick, mark super. Quick if whatever the law would
the like in your experience with dealing with Downtown, oakland the, police.
Etc would the council be interested in actually doing something
about it or is it one of those things that
you're going to pass and they just ignore.

Speaker 21 (01:08:46):
It, no the, council they are very good and they
will do something about it without a. Doubt LIKE i,
said currently there's no actual laws that there is no
law currently that allows you to be able to actually
move someone on that is rough, sleeping that is engaged
in the social, behavior that is a risk to someone
that wanders out drunk from a pub and assaults. Them
so that at the moment there are no laws that

(01:09:08):
can do, that and that is the, big big that
is part of the work That Paul gosmith And justice are.

Speaker 2 (01:09:13):
Doing, Okay, ginny can you inform us as to do
you know what's going on in The Maori? Party why
was there a? Cap do you have any idea what's
going on?

Speaker 25 (01:09:23):
THERE i do not, Know, MIKE i do not know what.

Speaker 2 (01:09:26):
Is going because normally in a coup you can go,
well the, parties you, know polling, badly or the leaders are,
useless or whatever the case may. Be BUT i can't
work out what's going on and it will materially affect
you more than the rest of the, WORLD i, think
won't it? Potentially?

Speaker 26 (01:09:38):
Well, well WHEN i was traveling on the countries and
took it all and around THAT i did meet a
few people who clearly indicated that that they were waning
in terms of.

Speaker 25 (01:09:47):
Support it.

Speaker 26 (01:09:47):
Was it was really, concerning and we maintain saying that
if someone out there wants to change this, government then
the best way to do that is to vote for
The Labor, party and we'll continue to say. That, so,
YEAH i think it's, Sad, dad it's let me just
make it. Is it is really quite, unfortunate and they've
got a lot to sort out and work. Through but,

(01:10:08):
NO i don't have any idea of the.

Speaker 2 (01:10:09):
Datail do you Think John turmer herey might be one
of the.

Speaker 25 (01:10:11):
Problems you can only, speculate but IT'S i just.

Speaker 2 (01:10:16):
Find a lot of stuff that he's associated with becomes.

Speaker 26 (01:10:19):
Angsty, well it doesn't look great when it's playing out
on social. Media you, know those discussions for any political
party are always best behind closed.

Speaker 25 (01:10:28):
Doings.

Speaker 2 (01:10:29):
Correct, WELL i spoke To Willie jackson. Yesterday it's always.
Fun he's like the.

Speaker 21 (01:10:33):
Kit he's he's like the kit that got the crew
at look at your. Head but the reality of is
you've got the leader of the, Party Mary party at
THE us today saying we'll come back and we're going
to choose the next. Problenist so we're going to get
rid of the current government and we'll choose the next Prime.

Speaker 2 (01:10:49):

Good i'm sure the.

Speaker 2 (01:11:12):
Wine i'm sure a couple of. Wines you. Haven't she's
a lovely. Woman but as A speaker of The, house,
no she does not do a good job. Much she
has no. Control there's clearly.

Speaker 15 (01:11:22):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:11:25):

she didn't go back and get.

Speaker 26 (01:11:38):

Speaker 25 (01:11:39):
Think she's going.

Speaker 10 (01:11:42):
AND i do.

Speaker 21 (01:11:42):
Agree and the other thing to remember that she is
the Deputy speaker of The, house so she.

Speaker 2 (01:11:46):
Wouldn't that's not her normal role is understand. That BUT i,
mean when the first drop comes, in when you, know
when when the halfback goes, out you don't want some
pretender coming. In you want you, know top quality. STOCK
i just don't rate her as a. Speaker but then,
again what DO i suppose if you two, do would
the house support your? View as opposed to.

Speaker 10 (01:12:04):
My, VIEW.

Speaker 21 (01:12:06):
I think so, definitely, well definitely in The National.

The Labor. Party IF i asked all The Labor party
members what do you, Reckon Old, barbara would they, go

know some of the others aren't.

Speaker 2 (01:12:25):
Quite likely you mean some of the others And jerry.

Speaker 26 (01:12:27):
Don't, yeah sometimes, sorry can be just blunt and just go,
blunt that's that without a. Reason but she listens really
keithly and ways up each instance.

Business Phebe, bright how are you?

Lining very? Well sorry about my tips On, monday BUT
i always get.

Speaker 2 (01:16:34):
Them, wrong so well there you. Go we'll keep your
game full employed. Yesterday enjoy. It it seems seems seem you,
know one for the record books and all that sort of.

Speaker 13 (01:16:41):
Stuff well was it? EVER i Mean Melbourne. Cup whatever
you say about horse, Racing Melbourne cup always tosses up incredible.
Stories Jamie mellon Formerly jamie Carr one dot the race
on An australian bred horse F yours Now Jamie mellon
two years ago had a really nasty falls in an induced.

(01:17:02):
Coma for five. Days they thought she may never ride.
Again she becomes a second woman After michelle paying to
win The Melbourne, cup ten years to the day from
When Michelle payn won on that one hundred to one.
Chance and it was extraordinary because it's An australian bred
horse bred by and then trained by Two australians formerly

(01:17:22):
From South, Australia, macavoy father and. Son and that field
was full of multi million dollar foreign bread and imported
horses and An australian horse came. Through if you look
at that ride From i'm not a racing, officionado but
if you look at that ride from, above the gaps
That Jamie mellon was able to put that horse through

(01:17:44):
to actually win The melbourne cup's quite. Extraordinary an incredible.

Speaker 2 (01:17:48):
Athlete she is good. Stuff and then we come to
the spy chief of this burg as you talk, about, YEAH.

Speaker 13 (01:17:54):
Aso spy, Chief Mike burges just made a speech to
The Lower institute last night and it was particularly. Grim
i've got to. Say he's warned of the realistic possibility
that hostile regimes could Replicate iran's direction of Anti semitic.
Attacks now he refers, there of, course to the burning

(01:18:14):
down In melbourne of The Jewish, synagogue which was directed
by The. Iranians we know that that's a. Fact he's
particularly singled out a terrorist organization called his but, here
which is a designated terror group in THE uk and
The United. States Not, Here he and others have urged
The australian government to actually declare them a terrorist. Organization

(01:18:40):
he went on to say that that group wants to
test and stretch the boundaries of. Legality he talks about
wider Anti semitic, narratives and he said it was not
beyond the threat that a foreign organization could organize to
assassinate people In. Australia for the head Of asia to say,

(01:19:02):
that he obviously doesn't say everything that he, knows and
so what we've got here is something that is particularly very.

Speaker 2 (01:19:09):
Concerned it's, interesting AS i Like burges just because he
SYS i compare him directly to us in our sas
is not nearly as forthcoming as he. Is he seems
to be a bloke who wants to get the message
out and have people understand the realities of the, world
whereas once upon a time these guys you never heard.

Speaker 13 (01:19:25):
From, YEAH i agree with you. Entirely and he doesn't
want The australian public to be surprised by something that.
HAPPENS i, mean if there is an attack On australian,
soil then someone is. Assassinated he wants to be able
to point back TO i warned, PEOPLE i said that
this would. Happen AND i think he also makes these
public speeches knowing that the government, listens and the government
today gets together and, goes, gee, okay well we knew

(01:19:48):
that he had told us, that but we better now
have some response for the.

Speaker 15 (01:19:52):
Public.

Speaker 2 (01:19:53):
Right also, yesterday of, course was THE rb And michelle
see with. NO i MEAN i can understand why she
did what she. DID i mean so from any not
the point of, VIEW i get, It but that's sort
of you are kind of wanting something a bit, different were.

Speaker 13 (01:20:04):
You, yeah she's left the rate at three point six,
percent and all aliments are now saying there will be
no interest rate cut maybe into the last quarter of next.
Year everybody knows that inflation is on THE arp and
that's why she's done what she's. Done but also she's
worned that wages now might have stagnated as. Well so you,

(01:20:27):
know labor is talking about the delivering cost of living,
Relief well it's not. Coming and you can talk all
you like About, medicare book billing and student loans and
all that sort of. Stuff but once their energy discounts
came off in all of the, states it's a combination
of state in. Federal it's just pushed inflation. Up and
that's exactly what's. Happened and so Now australia has got falling,

(01:20:49):
unemployment rising. Inflation when did you ever have those two
things put together and say things are, Rosy well they're.

Speaker 2 (01:20:56):
Not, No australia's waking up to this BECAUSE i read
an article yesterday AND i, MEAN i don't even know
if you know about, this AND i don't even know
if IT'S i think it's. Nationwide but under this regime
of The Solar shaer, program power companies have got to
give you three hours free power per day and that's
to sort of shore up the market and so you

(01:21:17):
get all your you know WHAT i. Mean this is
a weirdly communist interventionist about your country where the government
pays and tells people how to run the business and
gives you money they don't. Have it's very.

Speaker 13 (01:21:29):
Odd it's weirdest Stim i've ever heard of. It Len
take me for, EXAMPLE i don't have solar panels on
the roots AND i can't afford to pay my electricity.
Bill But i'm going to be given even THOUGH i don't.
Have All i've got to have is a smart meter
attach to my. House, now everybody in The standia pretty
much has a smart meter to attach their. House so
they're going to give me free electricity in the middle

(01:21:50):
of the. Day why DO i deserve to get.

Speaker 9 (01:21:52):
Free ELECTRICCY i can pay for it my.

Speaker 13 (01:21:54):
POWER i don't need the government to give me free.
ELECTRICITY i, mean what is that? About it? Is it's just.

Speaker 2 (01:22:00):
Bizarre but then they order The Australian Energy regulator to
order the electricity companies not to put the price up
elsewhere to recoup the money they've clearly lost from handing
out three hours of free. POWER i, mean this is
the sort of thing you'd read In, russia, Correct And.

Speaker 13 (01:22:16):
I've got to have a wire to look at, it
And i'm going to write a column about it the.
Weekend but this is All it smacks to me of
desperation that they know that the more we shut down
cl fired power stations in this, country you're going to have.
Blackouts and so what they're, trying it seems to do
with government intervention is to make sure that a lot

(01:22:36):
of people are turning on air conditioners and washing machines
in the middle of the, day, right and not turn
him on at five o'clock at night when they get.

Speaker 2 (01:22:42):
Home But, steve if you're hot at five, o'clock you're
hot at five. O'clock it's not like you call yourself
down at midday and then, go, WELL i called myself
down at, midday SO i can't call myself down at five.
O'clock that's too stupid for.

Speaker 13 (01:22:54):
Words it's bizarre and stupid is the word for.

Speaker 2 (01:22:58):
It good on your, mate we'll catch up next. Week
Steve price out Of. Australia by the. Way the other
thing they're doing this morning the government This rex, thing
which was the it was kind of an airline that
served Regional. Australia it fell. Over this company's coming From
america called AIRT i thought that was, it but more for,
me because the government are going to restructure the airline's

(01:23:19):
debt and they're going to cut they're going to throw millions.
Out at ninety million of the existing debt are going
to be restructured on terms that will allow for repayments
over time through a profit sharing arrangement where they have
to make a profit of, course also issue a new
commercial line of sixty million to The Australian airline and
supplement the fifty million that THE airt people are bringing
towards the. Recapitalization so this is a collab BETWEEN airt

(01:23:40):
and The australian. Government do are yet again bailing out
another company with money they don't? Have a forty Five.

Speaker 1 (01:23:48):
The Like Asking Breakfast Fall show podcast On iHeartRadio powered
By News talks at B.

Speaker 2 (01:23:55):
My Favorite australian story this week so far, though is
The North Sydney council who are looking at rate rises
up to fifty four. Percent that was five months after
The Pricing regulator knocked back their application for rate rises
of eighty seven. Percent they're currently seeking you can't make

(01:24:15):
the stuff. Up they're currently seeking community. Feedback they've got
three rate rise options to be implemented over the next three.
Years there's the baseline RATE peg option of ten point three.
Percent the second option is the treading water, scenario which
is thirty nine point nine, percent or the third, one
which is the eye on the future, option which is

(01:24:35):
fifty four point two. Percent so you just thinking of.

Speaker 16 (01:24:38):
LEAVE i wonder which option will be most?

Speaker 2 (01:24:40):
Popular just interesting, question IS i, Wonder. MIKE i WATCHED qt.
Yesterday Barbara krueger was a refreshing, change no, nonsense keep things.
Flowing more, importantly she had dealt it deptly with that
clown whiteed his racist slur Against Louise. UPSON i clearly was.
Watching you're going to have to withdraw it even. Further
they're going to have to just continue with, draw continue to.

(01:25:00):
Apologizing i've Never i've never raised an issue where everyone's just,
gone what it? Is, mike has anything happened with your
mafia run coffee cant in the? Courtyard what an excellent
Question and the answer is, No And i'm deeply sad about.

it was.

Speaker 16 (01:25:31):

somebody who comes in during the news breaks who might
have spread the.

Speaker 2 (01:25:37):
Boss jason again juice. Bar, well, anyway nothing is the up.
Shop BUT i look at that every morning AND i see.
POTENTIAL i see a place where business can be. Done

thought coffee, worked but it clearly, didn't so they cleaned
it all. Out it's sat there for a. While it's
this little just for people are, going what the hell
is he beinging on? About now there's a courtyard out

(01:25:57):
the side of our. Building and in the courtyard is,
this for want of a better, word a glass. Cabin
and then the glass cabin was a coffee machine and
muffins for a while and a few, people and it
just never worked as a. Business but it's a nice looking.

Speaker 16 (01:26:11):
It's quite a cool piece of.

Speaker 2 (01:26:12):
Architecture it's a good piece of, architecture and it deserves.
Life And i'm just trying to work out of coffee doesn't,
