Speaker 1 (00:00):
New Zealand's voice of reason is Mike the Mic asking
breakfast with Bailey's real Estate covering all your real estate
needs news togs Head been welling.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Welcome today more good news out of our court system.
We're doing more and past to call for some tertiary
reform for our food and fiber sector. Fonterra. Yes, they
tell us how awesome they ask got Robinson tells us
how he's going to beat the Australian s. Tim Katy
after Wad Sam Emery, Richard Arnold offer up the good
international oil.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
Tasking.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
It is seven past six. Welcome to Friday morning. Donald Trump,
I reckon has had as bad a week as any
he's had the difference this week for me, the stuff
that made it stand out was he looks increasingly unhinged.
Don't you think it was not the UN speech. Don't
worry about that. That was classic Trump, A lot made
of a lot of made up stuff and grandiose pomposity.
It sort of wasn't. The visas are either given. At
its core, its classic Trump. They want Americans hired, not immigrants.

(00:52):
That's on brand. Chaotic, but on brand. It wasn't even
Kimmel I mean, celebrating the demise of somebody is a
sad trait, but once again on brand, even though Kimmel's
back in Trump's stance on free speech looks decidedly mad
or non existent. Now the real turn of events was
won the war and two taylanol for a bloke who
was sorting Putin day one and told Zelenski he didn't

(01:12):
have any cards. The about face seems astonishing of not worrying.
The pivot hands the problem, of course to NATO and
the EU. But what was he thinking taking it on
in the first place. I mean, Putin basically schooled them.
He's spanked them, He's humiliated him. He has that as
yet unexplained hold over him that no one seems to understand.
And then autism. In watching the heavily touted announcement, the

(01:34):
one we'd apparently been waiting for for twenty years, he
didn't seem to have a clue as to what he
was talking about. The Amish were raised for God's sake.
The ingredient was mispronounced and stumbled over, and as a result,
pretty much anyone in health all over the world called
it a pile of nonsensical rubbish. The basis of trump
Ism is making America great again. Too many migrants, too
many bad trade deals, an economy that isn't performing up

(01:56):
to scratch. All of that is understandable, and it's what
got the votes. Yes, there was a chaotic, comedic, braggadocious
style to it all, but at its base, if you
were of a certain disposition, it kind of made sense
and you can't argue against the electoral success. But as
the months have unfolded, it's got madder and more unhinged
and wandered off into areas of extreme improv culminating this

(02:19):
week in complete humiliation over the war and a pronouncement
in an area i e. Health. He clearly has zero
experience and expertise and clearly has listened too much to
his nutty mate with a mad voice. Disagreeing with his
policy approach is politics, but being seen as a global
clown undermines his reputation and that of the entire country.
And that's where he took it this week.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
News of the World in ninety seconds, well.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Thinking of which yellow chair day at the White House.
Today's guess is a mister Urduan of Turkey. He didn't
speak English, which isn't the end of the world, given
we have interpreters or do we.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
Book gershmer Frosta Blajolza innumbe other.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
Una said so, no interpreters for the networks. Fortunately old
Uds had brought his own and she was in the room.

Speaker 5 (03:09):
During her A second time, we are able to carry
two Gya and US relations to a much different level
and process.

Speaker 6 (03:16):
Well.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Yes, anyway, Trump wants Turkey to stop buying Russian oil,
which might help bring an end to the war, given
he's failing so miserably.

Speaker 7 (03:22):
I settled, as you know, seven wars, and it's probably
more than that if you really want to notice the
real facts. But seven wars, and I thought this would
be among the easier ones to settle. But I'm very
disappointed in.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
Putin meantime up the road. New York, mister Abbas of
the Palestinian Authority was having a word to the Assembly.

Speaker 8 (03:42):
We urge all the states that have not done so
yet to recognize the set of Palestine. We call on
supporting Palestine obtaining full membership in the United Nations.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
He also claimed in the speech that when they do
a steal, Hamasagan to put down all their weapons and
behave themselves. Then in Britain, watch this one. It's got legs.
The claimers Labor and P's are now so panicked about
the performance of their government. They're ringing up Manchester Mere,
Andy Boonham. I'm trying to convince them to challenge Starmer.

Speaker 9 (04:12):
It's got to be about more than a personality contest.

Speaker 10 (04:16):
Got to be about a plan, a proper plan for
the country and a proper plan to be reform.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
And I think that's the big issue. Influence was former
Labor and Pace, of course are worried about this.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
What people want is for Kis Starmer to succeed, and
they don't want I think at this point the turbulence
of a leadership change.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
She makes a very good point, of course, Bounham's not
even an MP. Finally, bed day for Amazon. They're paying
two and a half billion billion to settle claims that
they trick tens of millions of people into signing up
for a subscription without consent and then making it super
hard to cancel. The system to cancel took so many
steps that the court case alleged the code name was
Iliad as in the poem, as in homer as an

(04:59):
eight hundred bi about the Trojan Horse anyway, one point
five billion we'll go in too ap pull to payback subscribers.
The other one billion is a civil penalty. Amazon will
had to have a clear cancel button on the site.
Going's board news the World of nine event we're started
on Amazon pin talking to him, I was talking to
Kadi and I we're talking about this anyway. More on
that later, by the way. The Starmer thing another twist

(05:19):
of this. The announcement they say is officially coming tomorrow,
but every adult in the UK is going to be
required to have a digital ID card. Now this is
all to do with immigration. Macron's been arguing for this
for ages, but of course the civil libertarians you can
imagine where they're going with this one. Twelve past six.

The Mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered
by News Talks Evy.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
From the Old Entertainment File Jimmy Kimmel Live The Return Show.
Six point three million people watch.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
That is that a lot?

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Yes, it is about three times normal. And Bieber sold
at Kuchella for next year. They paid them ten million,
which is more than they pay Beyonce and Lady Gaga.
So April ten, eleven, twelve, seventeen, eighteen ninety She's gone
dance on see you in April. That was them not
met by the way, I am call but not that call.
Fifteen past second from journal H. Gredge Smith Morning to you,

(06:16):
Morning to Mike. How about their milk number zone.

Speaker 11 (06:19):
Super strong result a from Fontira So total revenue up
fifteen percent, twenty six billion, underlying profit that went from
one point five to seventy to one point seven billion.
In the cup she has aros one point seven percent.
And this is pressure that I think they are able
to give a strong divin as well as a high
milk payout, which there has struggled with a little bit
in the past. So the cups she is up around
about sixty percent year to day, as are those in

(06:41):
the Fontier Cheryl's fund. So ingredients position that it was
a standout performer sales to create a China game really
well high value products think butter mozzarella HT cream. Look
at the earnings that was sixty five to seventy five
cents to forecast with the currently of forty five to
sixty five cents, and yeah, let's talk the milk price.
So currencyason ten dollars sixteen. Compare that to the year

(07:03):
before seven bucks ay three, So along for divid in
the fifty seven cents, that's going to put about sixteen
billion dollars into farmer's pockets.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
It's pretty nice.

Speaker 11 (07:12):
Next year's ranged nine bucks to eleven dollars. She spoke
to the company. So we've had those soft dairy options
of late.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
They said.

Speaker 11 (07:18):
Demands still very very strong. It's just there's a lot
of supply out there in New Zealand and also South America.
One of the strongest years on record for shield of returns.
They're looking to a best up to a billion over
an next three to four years, and lots of different
projects including value of milk fat for new butter and
cream cheese investments. Now, next week's interesting. Mike normally be

(07:39):
on the road talk of results, which they will be,
but I guess the biggest thing they'll be talking about
and pitching is the sale the mainland consumer business. So
obviously four point two billion, one of the biggest sales
in corporate history. They're looking to double down on what
they do best and remove some of the challenges of
a seasonal supply curve. For that fast moving goods, stairy business.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
So they I thought.

Speaker 11 (08:00):
The interesting thing you say was they reckon. They can
get earings back to the current level post the assets sale.
It's been three years. So two dollars a year going
to farmers tax free. That's a huge car And yeah,
fun fact, the average Fontier farmer's around about nine thousand,
and we'll get about three hundred and sixty thousand dollars.
So give me some nice trickle down effects.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
And that is why it is a foregone conclusion. These
American numbers. I can't find the GDP, the spend. They're
all good, aren't they. That's all good.

Speaker 11 (08:28):
Yeah, huge jar of dump overnight and it is all strong.
So the economy grew three point eight percent in the
second quarter, that's the fastest pace in nearly two years.
That was revised up in three point three percent. Obviously,
we had that contraction the first quarter ahead of Trump's tariff,
so there's been lots with lots of swings and trade inventory.
So if you stripped that out and look at final
sales to private domestic purchases, that was up a full

(08:51):
percentage point two point nine percent. Consumer spending going, well,
that's a spending on transportation, financial services, insurance that was
two and a half percent. Consumers been in growth, corporate
profits that was a little bit less up to zero
point two percent. Basically tells us Mike that companies are
shielding using consumers from price high studio tariffs. Hey, but
they're still investing. Business investment seven point three percent, highest

(09:14):
sharpest rising spinning on IP products since nineteen ninety nine,
and the impact of AI. This is what we're seeing here.
So investment in data center's fresh record forty billion dollars
on an analyzed basis, and everything's going pretty well, Mike.
So durable goods, so long lasting goods orders they shot
up two point nine percent after falling in July, falling
nine percent in June, so huge bounce back there. Transportation

(09:37):
equipment again, orders for defense aircraft and parts up fifty percent.
And then talking bouncing back, housing market that's been in
a bit of a slump. Sales and new family new
single family homes there are twenty percent eight hundred thousand,
and it's also fifteen percent higher than a year ago
and twenty percent high in July. And labor market that's

(09:58):
also picking up jobs. Claims fell to their lowest level
since mid July two, eighteen thousand, so no surprise might
the odds of a FED rate cut next month were
over ninety percent then now peered back to eighty percent.
So there's gonna be a lot of focus on tonight's
inflation numbers.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
Speaking of numbers given to me, Yeah, so what have
we got?

Speaker 11 (10:14):
So we've got SMP that's down point seven percent, sixty
five ninety down down point seven percent as well, forty
five eight two three, there's that down one point one percent,
twenty two two four seven, Amazon down one percent. On
that news around the fine foot C one hundred down
point four percent, ninety two one three, Nicke up point
three percent, A six two hundred, zer point one percent
eight seven seven two INDs in x fifty despite Fontira,

(10:37):
we were lower down point two percent than in one
five to three, Gold up three dollars three seven seven
one a ounce, oil down fifteen cents sixty four spot
eighty four, and the currencies against it were still we
are weak at almost by one percent fifty seven point six.
That eight dollars eighty eight point twenty six sets down
in touch as well. British pound forty three point two
that's down point one percent, and the Japanese yen eighty

(10:59):
six point three that's down point three percent. Flash numbers
start in the US, and we've also got some Consume
conference in New ZEALANDSTA have.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
A fantastic weekend. Might catch up next week. Greg Smith
at Generate Kiwi saber and wealth specialist, asking what international
sport and there's real movement in the NFL. I'll come
to the Chicago Beer shortly. But Robert Kraft, who's owned
the Patriots since nineteen ninety four when he picked them
up for one hundred and seventy two million dollars, he's
flicked a little bit off to a couple of buyers.
They've cut a deal for an eight percent steak, which

(11:28):
values the company at nine billion dollars. So you put
in one seventy two million, a few years later it's
worth nine billion dollars. And they're not even a good team.
Six twenty one, you're at news Talks.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Couple of quick things. You'll be aware that PCOS has
been since to five years in jail. If they absolutely
want me to sleep in jail. I will sleep in jail,
but with my head held high, which is going to
be very uncomfortable, and you don't get a lot of
sleep with the headheld high. But the point is he's
actually going to jail. Yes he's appealing, but he will
actually spend some time in the slammer meantime. This is
I've been interested in this blowing up drug boats as

(12:14):
Trump has been doing. He's got two of them so far.
The Colombian president has said, we might want to have
a word about this. This is Gustavo Petro. He sees
it as a quote active tyranny, called for criminal proceedings,
and they're questioning whether it violates international human rights laws
because you can't just go around blowing up things. But
then again, as I said the other day, what literally

(12:35):
is going to come with this? And then YouTube, they're
going to allow previously banned accounts to apply for reinstatement.
So these are all the weirdos that were rolling out
the COVID nineteen stuff and the election rate related misinformation.
They got banned. But the Republicans have been leaning heavily
on YouTube, and YouTube have choked and so if you're
a tin hat and you've been banned from YouTube. You
can reapply and maybe get back on six twenty five.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
Trending Now with him as well else Spring Frenzy sale
on now.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
A trailer for the new Robin Hood series if you're interested.
I mean, who hasn't played Robin Hood? I mean I
played Robin Hood, Connery Costner, Russell Crowe. We conquered your lands.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
Now you rule.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
No one will ever know you or your kind existent.
Everything I had is gone. Can you blame the sheriffs?
They rob us about coin and call it the law.

Speaker 4 (13:34):
They kill our people and call it justice, and yet
they call us thieves.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
Then let us be thieves with a purpose. We were
attacked by home Robin. It's a story as old as time.
Sean Beans you Sheriff of Nottingham, Jack Patton, who correct

(14:01):
So he's not done a lot. He did a he
did one episode of ncis Sydney. Apart from that, not
a big name. It must have gone off. The episode
initially on MGM plus. Now that's one of those add
ons on Amazon. So Katie and I we're sick of it.
I think we're canceling Amazon. So you pay for MGM
plus five ninety nine. We don't watch enough television. But
all of a sudden the Amazon thing came up with

(14:21):
the ads. I know this isn't new for everybody, and
the others do it, but suddenly the ads started appearing
on Amazon. So we've reached that stage where you've got
to pay more. So you pay for Amazon. Then if
you don't want ads, you pay more for Amazon, and
they get more ads as you watch more, and then
the ads get longer, and I just thought, bugger this,
who needs this? I've reached peak explaining I'm sick of it.
Do I have the money to spend, Yes, I do.

(14:42):
I'm lucky like that. But do I really want to
feel ripped off every night when I sit in front
of a television?

Speaker 3 (14:46):
No?

Speaker 6 (14:46):
I do not.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
So I think we're canceling Amazon as of this weekend.
Got an idea from the food and fiber people. They
want something a little bit better in the old tertiary
sector by way of a pipeline. So we'll work you
through some of that detail in just a couple of moments.
I mean, the newser's networks, the News Talks.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
EDV, Mike Cars, Game, insightful, engaging, and vitally the mic asking,
Breakfast with a Vida, Retirement Communities, Life your Way, News togs, eDV.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
That's going to be a good day for comey James.
We don't credit to download with more. Shortly twenty three
to seven, the food and fiber sector wanted a bit
of reform and the tertiary sector they're chasing what they're
calling an employer lead work based learning model to match
real industry demands. So what does all that mean. Kate's
got ste Horticulture New Zealand Chief Executive and as with us,
Kate morning morning mate. So the pathway as we sit

(15:36):
now leads me from where to where and what do
you want changed?

Speaker 12 (15:40):
Yeah, So at the moment, we've got some proposed reform
that the government is looking to implement, and look at
the moment, that approach tends to favor a volume for
the number of learners based funding model over perhaps the value.
And if you take the whole of the food and
fiber network, then we have, you know, a significant contribution

(16:02):
to make to this to this country. But at the moment,
the pathways for our learners to access work based place
learning is under threat and as it probably comes as
no surprise to you. Some of the very best learning
for people working across the food and fiber sector comes
from learning on the ground and in the in the field,

(16:24):
rather than from the classroom.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
Do we have a skills issue or a job specific issue?
So would you want somebody lined up to say, I
want to be X by the time I get to
the end of this, Is that what you're aiming for
or is it broad based skills?

Speaker 12 (16:36):
It's broad based skills. So, you know, many of our
food and fiber sectors, and if I talk specifically for horticulture,
we are facing significant workforce challenges, you know, including shortages
and an aging workforce. And you know, if we are aren't,
or if we're undermining that work based learning, then that's
only going to increase the issue and threaten the sustainability
of an industry where you don't have, you know, a

(16:58):
pool of capable people, more skills coming through.

Speaker 2 (17:02):
Surely Penny Simmons, and I mean surely the government understand.

Speaker 12 (17:05):
This and get this, don't they Well, look to be
fair at this point in time, we have some reservations
and that is why, as a collective we have worked
together to create a food and fiber Workforce Capability Strategy,
which is industry lad and basically sets out a series
of relatively succinct recommendations around ways that the government could

(17:26):
actually ensure that they are delivering based pace learning for
our learners across the primary sector.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
Hard to believe they weren't on board with it. Having
said that, how much of it's about you and the
industry doing this for yourself versus at some point you've
got to involve the tertiary side of the equation to
get a piece of paper that's legit.

Speaker 12 (17:45):
Well, there needs to be there needs to be a
collaborative approach. We can't do all of that on our own.
There needs to be you know, getting qualifications and standards,
which is the government's role, and so there needs to
be a choice approach here. But but what we're saying
is that, you know, we need to see some uptake
and not just focus on a classroom based learning model

(18:05):
because that's not going to deliver all.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
That we require.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
While I've got you this regional debate that's on at
the moment, there's a lot of people a bit anngsty
about some of the courses being dropped in regional areas.
And if you don't train regionally, you won't stay regionally.
Do you worry about that?

Speaker 12 (18:19):
Look, we do worry about that, and that's because so
many of the people that work across our food and
fiber and seafood sectors simply don't live in our cities.
And if we don't have access to a combination of
both classroom based learning and that's sometimes delivered regionally, as
well as the work based place learning, then there's a
large part of our productive sector has potentially been cut

(18:41):
off from accessing education.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
Yeah, so what do we need to happen now? I
mean you've put this to the government. Presumably you've got
some sort of timeline or expectation that something might happen.

Speaker 12 (18:50):
Yeah, Look, we have put this to the government. We
are looking forward to the opportunity to meet with Minister
Simon so that we can talk about both practical actions
that we've identified that we think need to be happening
so that we can deliver for the whole of the
food and viber sector. It's one of the probably the
WOWED Framelet as you know, we're being asked to step

(19:11):
up to help to contribute to the government's goal of
doubling export value by twenty thirty five. To do that,
we need a really strong capable workforce and that means
we need to eneople them to be trained.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
Did right, go well with it? We'll stay in touch,
appreciate it. Kate Scott, who's the Horticulture New Zealand Chief
executive and a conversation findly enough, there are three members teachers.
I can name you three members of my wider family
who are about to graduate to become teachers. And so
suddenly that it just suddenly struck me all, you know,
collectively together that whole thing about number of teachers and

(19:42):
you can't get enough teachers. And suddenly the number of
people wanting to be teachers has increased exponentially. Of late,
there's three in my family alone. So something good's happened, there,
isn't it? Eighteen away from seven.

It be something Newsland at the local tab. Now you're
not going to find it online. You won't see it
on the app. It's only in the tab retail stores.
These are the terminal exclusives, a retail only boost. It's
found at the self service terminals in the tab stores,
so it offers some of the biggest odds you can get.
So the last time the terminal exclusives were available on
a race toob boosted the favorite runner from two five

(20:19):
to three dollars five. So next race is going to
be the terminal exclusive as the Howden Insurance Mile, which
is running tomorrow. Now where it gets exciting. The booster
odds only drop a couple of hours before the race,
only on self service terminals, so that's when you need
to be in store. So go to the local TIB
store tomorrow before the race, get on a terminal, use

(20:40):
the terminal Exclusives banner to place your bet, and because
that's TB you got bigger odds, bigger payouts, bigger excitement
for the big race, maximum steak and availability very of
course one per customer not eligible and multi bets tcency

Man on Amazon amazing. No, it's reasonably good. But it

(21:01):
certainly wouldn't stop me canceling.

Speaker 3 (21:05):
We have raised the clarks and the farm issue.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
Yeah, it wouldn't stop me canceling either. I'll tell you
that right here, right now, might drop six forty.

Five international correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance Peace of
Mind for New Zealand business.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
Good little morning. What are you making so Dallas? IFBI
they think he acted alone?

Speaker 13 (21:23):
Yeah, The FBI is holding a briefing right now and
is releasing more information about the sniper who opened fire
on this ICE Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office in
Dallas that should have now identified as twenty nine year
old Joshua John who took his own life after the
attack and left behind a notice clearly one saying he
wanted to bring quote unquote terror to ICE agents, says

(21:45):
US attorney Nancy Larson moments ago.

Speaker 5 (21:49):
One of these notes or papers, the sniper explicitly states, yes,
it was just me. That statement appears to be correct
at the point in the investigation. Notably, these loose notes
included a game plan of the attack and target areas
at the facility. He called the ICE employees people showing

(22:14):
up to collect a dirty paycheck.

Speaker 7 (22:16):
Well.

Speaker 13 (22:17):
The handwritten note also said he had his actions with
give ICE agents quote real terror to think? Is there
a sniper with ap armor piercing rounds on that roof?
FBI boss Cash Burttel says their investigation shows as well
that the shooter made multiple online searches on ballistics and
the Charlie Kirk assassination videos. So on it goes right.
They also released images of bullets they found, including one

(22:39):
that was marked with the words anti ICE. The shooter
open fire as detainees were being taken from a van
at the ICE office in Dallas. Those hit all weard detainees,
not ICE agents. One person was killed, two others injured.
One of those wounded Mexican in critical condition. Homeland Security
says that even no officers were hit, this was an

(23:01):
attack on ICE enforcement.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
The brother of the killer.

Speaker 13 (23:04):
Says he didn't think he was really political. Well, that
comment doesn't seem worth much in the face of the
evidence that the merging is it. Trump is blaming Democrats
for all that is going on.

Speaker 7 (23:14):
The radical left has causing this problem, not the right,
the radical left, and it's going to get worse, and
ultimately it's going to go.

Speaker 3 (23:21):
Back on them.

Speaker 7 (23:21):
I mean, bad things happen when they play these games.

Speaker 13 (23:24):
Well, Trump is calling for a crackdown on the radical left. However,
the right wing Cato Institute did a recent study on
political violence in this land. There stats show that eighty
one people have died as a result of political violence
in the last five years. Left wing terrorists were found
responsible for twenty two percent of cases, Islamus for twenty
one percent, right wing terrorists for fifty four percent. Finger

(23:45):
pointing aside. It does, though, seem to be getting worse.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
Indeed, is Comi's day to day could be There.

Speaker 13 (23:51):
Is certainly speculation that the former FBI boss James Comy
could face criminal charges today and what would be the
first case against one of Trump's main critics. Trump has
been demanding that federal prosecutors go after him. Trump fired
the attorney overseeing becoming investigation and put in place one
of his own personal lawyers, Lindsay Halligan, who was someone
who hasn't done this kind of work before, specialized in

(24:12):
insurance issues. Others in the federal office have said that
there was not enough evidence to charge Comby with any crimes,
including claims that he lied during congressional testimony that is disputed.
Trump's Attorney General Pambonni also has been looking at concerns
that the case simply isn't strong enough, so we'll see
what happened. Some Dems also are not fans of coming,

(24:33):
believing that right before the twenty sixteen elections, he led
the bureau's investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private
email server while she was Secretary of State. That led nowhere,
but some Democrats say had derailed the Clinton campaign at
the time. As for Trump, he sought to distance himself
from the Comy case during his oval office Q and
A today.

Speaker 7 (24:51):
I'm not making that determine. I think I'd be allowed
to get involved in her once, but I don't really
choose to do so. I can only say that Comy's
a bad person, He's a sick person. I think he's
a sick guy.

Speaker 13 (25:03):
Doesn't want to be involved. Keep it clear of it's
just Strub who, in reality has been doing quite the
opposite and pressing for political retaliation.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
Have a good week in Richard, ANLD, Statesideback Monday, in
the ever increasingly interesting New York mayoral race, the Republican
guy called Sliwer who Curtis He's claiming now that he
received more than half a dozen phone calls on behalf
of wealthy people urging him to get out. Why because
they all want to round up behind Como or Quomo
against Mendami. So you've got Eric Adams, who is the incumbent.

(25:33):
He says he's staying in and going nowhere. Cuomo's running
as an independent, having lost the Democratic nomination a couple
of what was a few weeks back, maybe a month
or so back, and this Mindami guy is leading. So
he's sliwer is calling the authors unethical and legal, which
of course is true. But it's interesting. It's very New York,
isn't it. I meantime, the people the Next Star people

(25:55):
who own a bunch of the stations that Van Kimmel,
Next Star and Sinkly a day Am between them, seventy
affiliate stations. They're still quote unquote engaged in productive discussions
with executives at Walt Disney. Bob Iger, who's a legend,
is under tremendous pressure to stand firm. There's an open
letter from some heavyweight Disney people to say, don't buckle

(26:17):
to these clowns. So we'll watch where this goes over
the weekend as well.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
Ten to seven the My Hosking Breakfast with a Vita
Retirement Communities News togstad been.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
I mentioned the football earlier on this morning. The NFL,
the Patriots and Robert Kraft selling a bit of his
company which is now worth nine billion dollars. There's another
deal been done in the last twenty four our Chicago
Bears bloke died, Gey called McKenna died a couple of
years ago and they've split his ownings two point three
five percent of the company. Anyway, a couple of people
have bought that or will buy that. They've got to
vote on all these sort of things, but they value

(26:47):
the Bears at eight point nine billion dollars. Amazing money,
isn't I note Also the bloke who runs the NFL,
guy called Goodell or Roger Goodell, he's the commissioner. He's
now floating the idea. So they're going very international. They
play in Brazil and England, Germany, Spain, all London's been
very successful. They're now floating the idea of an international
team based in London, which would be interesting six minutes

(27:10):
away from seven.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
Well, the ins and the outs, it's the biz with
business favor. Take your business productivity to the next.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
Global sport is big bucks JLR. So this is an
interesting move, possibly coming from the British government JLR. J
G vel Androv you'll know about the cyber attacks. So
that's caused major issues. Hellcat ransom group. They're claiming responsibility,
big data elee blah blah blah. So anyway, production stopped
at the end of August coincided with New Plate Day.
That's where dealers usually register or deliver vehicles. Now they

(27:42):
build about one thousand cars a day in Britain. Thirty
thousand people work at various plants, and four weeks later,
only some of their writing systems are starting to come
back online. Now production is not expected to start until
the first of October at the earliest. So enter the
government with this potential deal. So these suppliers, many of
them are small company and they are their sole customer
is jlr and so the figure nail is that these

(28:05):
people are going to go bust. So Rachel Reeves confirmed
that they're looking at options, which would be the first
time the government stepped into help a company as a
result of a cyber attack. There's a couple of things
they're looking at doing. One is buying the parts and
obviously keeping the cash flow going for these small suppliers
and then storing the parts. And when JLRB open up,
they just hand over the parts again. The other possibility

(28:25):
is a loan system. No one seems to like the
loan idea, because of course the small company that's about
to go bankrupt isn't really that interested in carrying more debt,
so it'll be interesting to see which way they bounce
on that. The problem with the government buying the parts
from the small suppliers is that jagu and Androver, like
pretty much every manufacturer modern manufacturer in the car area

(28:46):
these days, runs a right on time, on time on
place delivery type system. So, in other words, the bit
you need arrives on the day to the minute you
need it to put it in the car on that
production line at the right factory at the right time.
So if the government is storing these parts in some
factory in Wandsworth, they're going, oh, hold on, we'll go
get the gearbox now where we say it's got trouble

(29:06):
written all over it. But well we'll see how that goes.
Speaking of rang Drover, by the way, I don't know
the responsor of the show and all that sort of stuff,
but if you've got a bit of money, they did
this thing with the Vogue called the hast addition it's
a New Zealand thing, hast and there's only fun they've
ever made, and they haven't. I didn't I thought they
were all sold. But they've got one for s Armstrong's
and Dunedin have got one at the moment. Even if

(29:27):
you don't have any money like the rest of us,
just go look at it and see what they did.
It's this bespoke vehicle. It's unbelievable. It's beautiful, beyond beautiful.
Now the court system is being reformed in a fairly
substantive way and it appears to be working. We've got
new numbers for you this morning, and Nicole m Key
will crunch some of those for you. Scott Robertson has

(29:49):
got a plan I'm assuming to beat Australia this weekend,
so he'll give us the insight to mccadie still to
come after. Yes, it's Friday on the My Tasking.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
Breakfast News and everything in between, The Mic Costing Breakfast
with Range Rover leading by example News tog Dad by.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
Seven past seven to The court system reform seems to
be getting some real attraction. In the latest stats of
This Morning Show, court backlogs are being sliced into civil
cases and the District Court dropped twenty percent. In the
year to July, Disputes Tribunal cleared nine hundred more cases,
while the current is Court cut active cases by fifteen percent.
And Nicole McKay, Associate Minister of Justice of Courses back
with this morning to you.

Speaker 14 (30:27):
Good morning, Mike.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
Let's start with the District Court, specifically, new cases decreasing
seven percent. Is that less crime therefore less court time?

Speaker 14 (30:35):
Well, yes, I mean there'sn't. The District Court civil jurisdiction
means that we've got a seven percent decrease, that's to
twenty four thousand, seven hundred cases, but we've completed eight percent,
which is twenty seven three hundred, so we are completing
more than what's coming in. And this is a really

(30:56):
good thing because it means that we've got a thirty
six percent decrease in the number of cases or the
time being taken. And that's huge, Mike, because you know
when I came in it was three hundred and thirty
days to complete a civil case. I mean, that's huge,
and we've managed to drop it down to two hundred
and eleven. Now, in my mind that's way too much still,

(31:19):
but a thirty percent decrease is really really good, and
this is because the registry and the judiciary are now
looking at effective measures on how to fix these problems
so that people can move through that system so much faster.
And this is a massive effort by them. They should
be congratulated for it.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
So that's them working more efficiently. So that's an increase
in productivity in other words, as opposed to just simply
more money and more people.

Speaker 14 (31:42):
Correct. I mean, we've had to put more money, more
people into like the Coroner's Court, for example, but those
delays were huge. I mean, we've never had the sort
of delay that we've had within the coroner's Court. But
by instigating the four relief coroners, the new eight associate
coroners in clinical advisors, we've managed to also drop new

(32:03):
cases there and get that fifteen percent decline in people
waiting to find out what's happened to their loved ones.
And I mean that is a really big effort by
the Coroner's Court as well. I remember when I came
in an opposition, we had one family waiting eight years
to go through the coroner's court. So to have relief
where we've only got five thousand cases in there, we're

(32:24):
down to numbers not seen since twenty twenty. Massive effort
again by the Registry.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
Good Dispatch Tribunal nine hundred more cases. Is that resource
or we're just more efficient again, We're.

Speaker 14 (32:36):
Being more efficient. We're looking at how do we go
after the target the cases which are taking so long
to go through and actually manage them more effectively so
that we can complete them. So again it's not so
much about the money, it's about targeting efficiencies and the
judiciary and the Registry. I'm going to keep saying this
might because they're the ones at the front line that

(32:58):
are making the changes that show so that they can
fix this, fix it well and make our communities happier
and what can be a really horrible place for so
many of them.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
Isn't it amazing what you can do when you actually
set out to do something. Nicole mc keey, the Associate
Minister of Justice. Their good numbers, aren't they? Ten minutes
past seven pasking Speaking of good numbers, I mean, apart
from the Greens, it seems we're all celebrating the Fonterra
result net profit a bit over a billion dollars sixteen
billion in cash returns to the farm's final farm gate
ten dollars sixteen forecast looks good as well. Pete McBride

(33:28):
is the chairman of Fontira and as well as Peter
good morning, m very well. Indeed, Wayne Langford, a fed farmer,
says this is the new normal. Is he bullish or right?

Speaker 15 (33:38):
Well?

Speaker 3 (33:38):
Both?

Speaker 15 (33:39):
Well, I guess he's an optimists of farmers anyway.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
I guess so. But I mean, do you see but
it just keeps on keeping on at ten plus not
only out of this last season, but forecast for the
next season. When does it end? And if it does end, how.

Speaker 15 (33:54):
Well, we don't know when it ends. I guess it's
a function of global supply and demand. But similarly, we're
doing it best to maintain these sort of levels.

Speaker 2 (34:03):
What is your sense of the demand side of it?
I mean, does the world will it forever? This whole
middle class? So I've got some money, so I want
quality food thing? Will that continue to grow forever or not?

Speaker 13 (34:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 15 (34:13):
Our perspective is that continues to grow at a bit
auto two percent prannum, particularly in Asia, which is in
our wheelhouse. We're seeing global supply. Our lucks of Latin
America increasing the US contain volume on quite quickly. But
we are seeing downward pressure in Europe. So you know,
molk finds US equilibrium, it finds a home. But I

(34:34):
think overall we're in a pretty good space.

Speaker 2 (34:38):
Your sense of the debt vspend story. A lot of
people text me saying, Oh, it's not that good because
the farm is only going to go to the bank
and repay debt. Is that true?

Speaker 15 (34:47):
No, I think it'll be a balanced approach. I think
you know, this year, there'll be debt reduction, there will
be a lot of deferred maintenance, there'll be machinery replacement,
there will be spend in regional economies. I think two
years of this comes more discretionary, and then the capital
they get back from the consumer divestment process will be
more discretionary.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
Gain your sense of the break even point eight dollars,
I can't remember the number. The other day, t eight
dollars sixty something. Is that too much debt? I mean,
if you're needing ten to really get some coin in
the bank, I mean, is there too much debt floating
about on the farm.

Speaker 15 (35:20):
Yeah, Parley, But it's also farmer's cost structures, and there's
a big bell curve out there, so you'll find farmers
with costs significantly lower than that, not just debt, but
operating costs. So it's about farm systems that they're approaching.
So the risk here is that you lock yourself into
a high cost struction and when it hits south and
you're less stranded.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
Explain to people who aren't on the farm this quality story.
When you're dealing with bulk ingredients, do we sell something
that's New Zealand ink that is high quality or is
milk just milk?

Speaker 15 (35:53):
No, we do sell advanced ingredients, which is one of
our well, it is our highest ding category. So you
think of protein and the shak or ourtds like the
fitness folken into or for aged here in particular for rehabilitation.
You know, there's a lot of value in those high
value probeins.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
Good the brand sale that you work at. You're still
working on that. I would have thought that's foregone conclusion
by now.

Speaker 15 (36:16):
Now it's still work And I know we've got a
week on the road with farmers this week, They're going
to have a much more informed conversation. Up until now,
we're being limited what we could.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
Say about it.

Speaker 15 (36:26):
We could talk about the wide divers consumer. But now
they've got a bunch of numbers to look at it
more rational for the decision.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
Okay. And the Greens, I noted yesterday, were saying what
we really need to do in this country, Peter is
move away from cows. Apart from the Greens. Does anybody
think that?

Speaker 15 (36:43):
No one that I make us think that. I think
dairy is a critical part of the New Zealand economy
as agriculture. I think if the government wants to draw
the New Zealand economy, they're not going to do it
without growing dairy exactly.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
Well, congratulations on the result. We appreciate time. Petter McBride,
who's the volunteer at chairman speaking which fourteen past seven
past Mike. The talk yesterday by the Greens at Chloe
went premium economy to London is not true. I have
a photo of a sitting in the business if we've
all got a photo of a sitting in business class,
that's what happens on social media. There's no question why
the Greens told I don't know who it was, was
one of the shows on the station. They told who Ryan?

(37:17):
They told Ryan that she had gone premium economy. She's
in business. I've seen the photo. She's in business. She's
a hypocrite business the offset is three times economy because
of the size of the seat, the weight of the seat,
the fewer people in the cabin et, cetera, et cetera.
So if you're a green and you're flying business class,
you are the ultimate hypocrite. And that's before you get
to the paint. What she even gone to London for.

(37:38):
It's a talk fest. It's a gab fest. Nothing happens,
nothing changes, and somebody else paid for it. And so
you cannot just stand on the ground and go, you know, offsets,
carbon emissions, miles, all of that sort of stuff. Then
park yourself in business without I would have thought keeping
your head downe being extremely embarrassed for about twenty one
hours fifteen past seven, the.

Speaker 1 (37:58):
Like asking Breakfast All Show podcast on iHeartRadio, how it
by news talks.

Speaker 2 (38:03):
That be not just climate Mike, that's where the rich sit,
I know, very uncomfortable period for her. Difficult yesterday for
Paul Goldsmith, Well was it difficult?

Speaker 3 (38:12):
Mate?

Speaker 2 (38:12):
I'm sure he doesn't give a monkey's The Electoral Amendment
Bill this is the one where you have to register
for next year's election a little bit earlier, because apparently
we have real trouble in this country with all the
paper and all the highlight of pens and counting a
vote on the night. There was a suggestion so it
was submission's day yesterday. Ministry of Justice did not support
closing enrollment early. Its impact on reducing special votes is uncertain.

(38:33):
Impact on democratic participation could be significant, You reckon. I mean,
I subscribe to the argument that I mean, if they
were making, if they said, look, you've got one day
to enroll on that set, sure, but the idea to
be able to enroll on the day is a terrific
idea if we were sophisticated administratively in a way that
we simply are not. And it's a cluster. So why

(38:55):
not have a better system that we can cope with?
Because if you go and clue things like the senses
when it comes to these mass organizational efforts, we really
don't have a clue and it becomes problematic. So no
matter which way you slice it, now, Goldsmith's argument, by
having people register earlier, they will count the numbers faster. Now,
there was some pushback on that policy. Analyst called Jack

(39:17):
Foster said, this creates the most restrictive enroll in the
environment we've had for a long time. Well that's sort
of true, but does it really matter. I mean, you know,
many years ago it was way more restrictive. So you
would like to hope that in time we get better
and better. I think all that's happened is we have
got better and better, but we've pushed the envelope to

(39:37):
the point that we just can't cope anymore. The minister
claimed it was necessary to speed up the final vote count,
which was a quote unquote says Jack problematic reason. I'm
not sure why it's problematic, because in democracy, you want
to see democracy working. When voting takes a longer time
than we would anticipate, do we get angsty? Yes we do.
Would we like voting to go quicker, Yes we would.

(40:00):
When the coalition talks go longer than we perceive to
be acceptable, do we get angsty? Yes we do. As
I've argued many a time, what you want to do
is have the German system, which is at two seconds
past closing time, seven o'clock and election night you get
a result. Now, could we do that? Theoretically? Can we
not really, so I've actually got no problems with it

(40:20):
at all. I still don't understand where Judith Collins got
the idea as Attorney General that it could breach the
Bill of Rights. Bill of Rights is about participation. If
you can participate, which you still can. I'm not sure
where the difficulty is. So a lot of people had
a lot to say, and I don't think anything's going
to change. You'll have to enroll in, the participation rate
will be pretty much what it's always been. Mark my

other weekend. But remember how angsty we got about Eden
Park in the South Africans a couple of weeks ago.
Let's save ourselves the energy, shall we? And that is
the week copies on the website and in an internal
report written by a bloke from the ABC this week
finds marking the week even less bias than news, which
isn't even a little bit by it asking now you've
got to go to newstalk zb dot co, dot in

you want to do this? Because as of next week

you and you're first to ring me, you'll get five

the week there's only give me nine people in that draw,

(44:31):
only nine people. You're going to be one of nine.
And the grand prize draw is a BP experience to

(45:13):
to that particular sporting event. We've got to get to
the other sporting event. The pressing issues facing the All

priority number one. Scott Robertson appears to be in charge
of that matter. He's with us out of the News Witnesses.

Scott Robinson is your coach and news back with us.
A very good morning to you.

Speaker 3 (45:55):
Well, good morning Mike.

Speaker 2 (45:56):
Are you set to go?

Speaker 3 (46:00):
Which you still thinks obviously we've had a couple of
changes when they drew force, but within the week we
just want to get back into it after the week
we had before. So it's a great of a great occasion.

Speaker 2 (46:12):
To do it good And how's that two week on
two week off thing working for you? That is that
a thing have you enjoyed?

Speaker 3 (46:18):
That?

Speaker 2 (46:18):
Is that a good idea or not?

Speaker 3 (46:21):
Well, you have to have the week in between, there's
no doubt about it. But it's it's so unique to
playing the same team twice, Like every every second game
has got its own storyline before what happened in the
first game. You know, either hurt or you've been successful,
and people depth so quickly and it is an art
to that. That's why not everyone's quite good at right

(46:45):
because no one's wont to to row.

Speaker 14 (46:47):
In.

Speaker 3 (46:48):
You know, we get a chance this week against a
good world beside.

Speaker 2 (46:51):
Yeah, you make a very good point. See as a
casual lover of sport, I've actually thoroughly am thoroughly enjoying
the competition because I know you want to win every
time obviously, but what a great competition that is with
with every participant being a high quality team and that's
what you want, isn't it.

Speaker 3 (47:09):
Yeah, there's been an argue it you've hit a couple
of blowouts like World and War one and two. Sous
of South Africa took a couple of points at the
end of the game that blow out, and then you've
got a majority of the other games come down in
one play games at the end. And as you see
that this entertainment sector and that builds so so much connection.

(47:30):
So the next week Argentina play South Africa and took
in them. You know they're pretty much sold out by understanding,
so you had the whole world behind it and watching it,
enjoying it.

Speaker 2 (47:41):
Having said that two week on, two week off thing,
I mean, this is I mean, you've just given a
very good example, but I mean your example, Nick, You've
got to jump on a plane and go to the
other side of Australia then play again. That's hard yards,
isn't it.

Speaker 3 (47:53):
Yeah, there's the old Beck to Becks, but that's a
part of it. It's a little bit different to World Cups.
You know you get sort of five sort of five
or six big game well at the BECK and you
get three four big games in a row, and then
for this one, because you've got over a six six
games in that in that period, paying the same team,

(48:15):
you know you're going to change the slightly adjust your
team along the way, your technics because you're playing the
same team, like and there are all sudden emergency teams.
We know each other pretty well. And when you're going
to play, like the end of your tour last year
we had five games five week By the end of it,
you know, you play, you know, you're paying all different conditions.

(48:37):
You're traveling, you're on and off buses and stuff, so
you how they needed to train. In the end, you're
just going to keep fresh as you possibly again this
week off and the woodle he gives you that little
bit of injy boost.

Speaker 2 (48:47):
A couple of weeks ago against the first South African side,
there was this whole Eden Park thing and oh we
haven't lost the Has that been a thing this week
at all? If it ever was a thing or not,
it's the thing.

Speaker 3 (49:00):
It's definitely sort of thing. You know, it's a it's
a it's a it's a great gift you got given
because you've got people that have kids so deeply about
performing in a place that's sort of historically just keep
melting up from performance on performance. So when it comes
to you, you know, your gift is to earn it
again for people to see how much it cares for you.

(49:23):
And obviously we've got lossy this week and you know
what they like, they're playing good and we're just you
just get a rise to it.

Speaker 2 (49:30):
Mister key, how good are the Australians do you think?

Speaker 3 (49:37):
I well really find out tomorrow night. I think hands
on and just it was was the style we pay.
But they've got really refined structures that kick well. They
brought some really good young paws through, have got some
speed and and your leaders are playing well. So but
then they don't go away so that they then they're

(49:58):
well coached. So a good package.

Speaker 2 (50:01):
Yeah they are. I was reading a piece from the
Australian media. They gave a series of reasons as to
why this could be the best time for Australia ever
to beat you guys. Youthful freedom was one of their arguments.
Do you think there's a bit of youthful freedom and
there they're unburdened? Is there something in that?

Speaker 3 (50:18):
I suppose how you look at it, there's a great
narrative for you to talk about benefits, what you wanted
to become alive. Yeah, I suppose they play fast good.
It just takes freedom. Is probably a little bit around
being feelers. So it's what we expect as well excellently.

Speaker 2 (50:36):
I don't want to dwell on the loss. But the
only question that everyone asks when you're when you're in
the box with your walkie talkie and things are going wrong,
And the argument has always been that you guys can't
adjust that something unfolds that you're not expecting or whatever,
that you can't adjust what's in that moment, what's going on.

Speaker 3 (50:59):
Look, when we chase the game, we probably we over
chase the game, you know, when we sort of got
to the three scores and we were frustrated and stuff.
So when you're sing you just see the team trying
to chase it, and so you just send our messages,
like one word messages that reflect the mindset. So what

(51:20):
you're trying to achieve it if you want to hold
the ball, or do you want to go to a mall?
Do you do go down short side? Or is you
kick differently? So you get one or two words and
messages cabet huddle. Those huddles are thirty seconds. You've got
one of the water carriers or medicals medicos running in

(51:42):
there saying one word to the captain to get the
or one of the leaders to get their message across.
So a lot of preparation goes into that, and and
then there's the key around it. How do you can
help that one word can slowly, slowly change a little
bit of mindset all the flow of the game.

Speaker 2 (52:00):
Do you put weight on the bounce back so when
things have gone wrong there is a real bounce back
for you guys the next opportunity.

Speaker 3 (52:07):
Again, you don't want me to do that? To do that,
do you? That's the first thing. So you don't want
to have to bounce back. It's not you know, we
want consistency and reliability. That's that's the key every every
time to find up the meaning what what's in front
of them. You're going to be inspired internally, not by
by a past result. And look, you can't draw on it.

(52:30):
A lot of our guys like to plans to do it,
so yeah, whatever, a few of you take it.

Speaker 2 (52:36):
And what about the n PC? Does that helped? Did
they enjoy that?

Speaker 3 (52:41):
Yeah? Some of the players. You know, there's a lot
of guys in your thirty six you'd play and your
Ruby player. You're going to play your sport and get
in there, and you picked your teams and not just
try and actually you can put a shoulder on someone
with a bit of meaning, so you can and then
strum and line out and do all the things you
need to keep yourself to come back into Chesscoody fantastic.

Speaker 2 (53:02):
Well, it's going to be a good night. I think
the it's a forecast and he I think it's going
to rain in the afternoon or something. Does that make
any difference to you?

Speaker 3 (53:10):
We did it better now we know we're not saying this, Jason.
We wish it's going to rain. Just let it rain.
You s get on with it. But we have the conditions,
Well we'll take on. But we just pleased made another
cell of it. We had all six sold out this
year and thankful support for everyone, and yeah, I appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (53:28):
All right, mate, go well, we'll be watching as always.
Scott Robinson, who's the All Blacks coach. Just on related matters,
by the way, Jason Pine was in earlier on this
morning doing some more of his just standout prep. He
was there at about seven o'clock and I said, you've
got an eleven o'clock prerecord, Jason, he said, twelve fifteen.
He's in there six hours early, so.

Speaker 3 (53:48):
He's technically he's in there about what twenty eight hours early?

Speaker 2 (53:53):
Yeah, I don't know what he's got lined up for
the weekend, but when he's prepping here on Friday, it's surprive.
It's just it's going to be good, bound to be
award winning seven forty five.

Speaker 1 (54:03):
The Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered
by News talks at me.

Speaker 2 (54:09):
Twilve away from it the reference I had with Razor
to the Australian Ring. A guy called Tom Decent has
written at so why they can win? Is this Australia's
best chance since two thousand and three? Why they can win?
Great results this year? So that's true. The Wallabies have
done well. The All Blacks form they cite as being problematic,
which is true. The bounce back myth numbers don't back

(54:30):
up the idea that New Zealand always rebound after a loss.
Since nineteen ninety six, the All Blacks win rate is
eighty one percent and matches immediately after a loss it
drops to sixty nine. So the old bounce back thing
doesn't add up. Set piece advantage. The All Blacks, once
mighty set pieces wabbled this year. By contrast, the Wallerbes
have held their own and the youthful freedom thing this
is a young group unburdened by the weight of history.

(54:50):
I don't think the All Blacks all the players are
under pressure, but I think the coaching group would be
under pressure. So take out of that what you want.
Mike love it when people consider every word before speaking
rather than the sound bikes might Would it be great?
Would it be a great assumption that Liam Lawson will
be in Red Bulls next year considering Visa giving a
prize to Melbourne next year? Cam very interesting question. Look

(55:11):
up the race if you want to get into the
weeds Worth Formula one, look up the race on YouTube
and they do some very good stuff. What I hadn't
heard is that you're going to get potentially a squeeze
on drivers in Racing Balls and Red bull next year,
depending on whether they keep Senoda. If they don't keep Sanoda,
it looks like Hadja which do they cut Sinoda loose

(55:32):
orders laws and then become a problem as well because
two doesn't go into one. Elpene's been a landing spot
for one or the other potentially, but BREATRRI has said
they're not interested in anybody, which leaves them with Colopino
Slash doing slash ghasly but they've got a whole lot
of analysis as to where if one is currently at
at the moment, and it's if you follow the sport,

(55:53):
it is well worth watching. But it does remind me
to the ZEBI website and register for next week petition turned.

Speaker 1 (56:00):
Away the Mike Hosking Breakfast, Where's rainthrow Fern News.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
Togs d B basically while I'm on a sport bent
very interesting piece. Also in the Australian media this morning
there's a guy called Richard Garner Macquarie University, Associate Professor
of Mathematics Category of Theory Expert PhD at Cambridge has
crunched the data for the past thirteen seasons. We talk
now at the NRL. They've got the AFL final this
weekend where they think measles is going to spread from
Queensland to Melbourne, which I found moderately amusing. It was

(56:25):
it took me back. It was PTSD took me back
to COVID days. I thought I was listened to Bloomfield. Anyway,
they found a measles case in Queensland and in the
AFL Jelana playing Brisbane and they reckoned thirty thousand Queensland
is are going to go to Melbourne to the mcg
and one of them is bound to have measles, which
will be a spreader event, and then suddenly measles will
be all over Australia, so they safe your thoughts of diseases, well,

(56:48):
I would have thought, I thought the Lisa, if you're
talking about thirty thousand Queenslanders, I would have thought measles
is the least of your problems. Anyway. Richard Garner, who
knows a bit about mass has done the NRL Final,
so he's looked at all the variables finishing position, home
ground advantage, favoritism and a week's rest. He says it's
already been an unusual season or postseason because two of
the top four teams have gone out in the semis.

(57:09):
Of course, that's only ever happened once before. When you
look back at the bottom four teams finishing fire through eight,
how often have they got to the prelims about two
and ten, And when they get there they've got a
pretty low chance of going on from there. They'll only
win about a third at the time. No team outside
the top four has ever won the premiership during the

(57:30):
NRL era, so history is against obviously, Cronella and Penrith
seven out of ten Grand Finals included the top placing
team dropping to sixty two percent for the second place
team thirty one percent and twenty one percent respectably for
third and fourth. Those placing five to eight collectively made
the Grand Final only four percent of the time, still

(57:52):
a reasonable chance. He argues that we might see the
Panthers or the Sharks go through four and ten chants
that one of those two go through, see the Panthers.
And this is where he's good and we are not.
Because you want the Panthers to win, don't you You
want the pint? You go, Oh, wouldn't it be cool?
Wouldn't it be amazing? But that's not how mathematicians work.
So he has Melbourne hosting Crenel. Well, we have Melbourne

(58:13):
hosting Creneller and Penrith going to Brisbane. Where the measles
are I mean at Penrith. I mean, I don't know
how big they're side is. But if they all go
to Brisbane, do they catch measles as well? If the
measles didn't leave Brisbane, can you leave leave a bit
of measles behind?

Speaker 11 (58:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (58:28):
Mountain men, very good point. There's a home advantage of
about seven points. In the prelims. He argues, this round
has won seventy seven percent of the time by the
home team, so home team is real, and it's won
by an average of twelve points, which is seven more
than you'd expect based on the team's regular season form.
See where the mask gets interesting. So he says Storm

(58:49):
Broncos Grand Final. So so far, so logical. Underdogs aren't
a lost cause, especially in the Grand Final. They win
thirty nine percent of the time. Thirty nine percent of
the time. But when push comes to shove, he's going Storm.
It's going to be the Storm's year. And you'd really

(59:10):
be hard pressed to argue against that, both mathematically and
indeed logically. So I found that interesting. But then again,
I also said the All Blacks had win all their games,
and I sort of am coming last in our three
way weirdness of picking winners, so you know, and also
I think I failed school certain maths, and if I didn't,

(59:31):
I got it because it got ungraded. You know, when
they used to slide your number up because no one
in the school passed. I think I was one of
those kids, and I if I passed, it was it
was a close run thing, and could have involved getting
somebody some money.

Speaker 3 (59:43):
I don't know. It all worked out well.

Speaker 2 (59:45):
And then so what's the matter news for you? In
a couple of moments. Then Tim Katy was who the.

Trent Risner? Which names is cooler? And if you're one
of those people who doesn't really like your name, which

(01:00:37):
name would you like? Would you like Trent Risner or
Atticus Ross. I'd like to be called Atticus Risner. I
reckon that would be super cool. That is Etticus is
such a cool name.

Speaker 13 (01:00:51):
Ah.

Speaker 2 (01:00:52):
These are nine Inchore. This is nine inch nails. This
is the soundtrack from Tron a lot of its instruments,
so we've picked one with words which has probably done
us quite well. It says here instrumentals make up the
bulk of the effort, Jim, I don't know why they

(01:01:13):
got into the business of soundtracks, but they have as
the first they've done. By the way, nine inch Nails.
You do because it's a movie soundtrack. Get a tremendous
amount of music. There's over an hour of it. There's
now six and forty eight and that spread out over
twenty four tracks tracks.

The Week in Review with two Degrees bringing smart business
solutions to the table from Trenton.

Speaker 2 (01:01:37):
Advoicates Sevin Wilson's will Us and k Hawksby joins the
gang as well. Good morning to both of you. Good morning, excerence.

Speaker 16 (01:01:45):
I know that I have been listening to the show
this morning.

Speaker 2 (01:01:48):
Oh good sum back.

Speaker 16 (01:01:50):
I can report back on two things. One, Chloe Swarbrick
flying business classes everything you need to know about the
Green Party and sums them up to a tea, doesn't it.
It's just they should banners for election in next year
should be, you know, a vote for us as a
vote for hypocrisy.

Speaker 3 (01:02:05):
Because they are just just embarrassing.

Speaker 16 (01:02:07):
Second of all, my second observation of your show this
morning was it just Meil died Razors sound a way
bit downbeat, just.

Speaker 2 (01:02:14):
A bit low key. Yes, I think that's what I thought.
It's interesting I should say that we've received quite a
bit of text information saying something similar. I had him
in a in a thoughtful mood because my my relationship
with Razer goes back a bit and he can be contemplative,
and so therefore I think I saw him as contemplative
what Matthew says, and it's funny you shoul raise this.

(01:02:36):
Katie said, that was a very weak inter view with
robertson Mike. So I'm a bit down too now because
I've received him.

Speaker 6 (01:02:46):
Too. Two blokes, you know, Michael, Michael and Raiser talking
on the radio being contemplative and everyone in bags.

Speaker 2 (01:02:54):
Yeah, do you know?

Speaker 3 (01:02:55):
You know what it is?

Speaker 2 (01:02:56):
And I'm quite prepared to at this late stage of
my career confessed to this. There are certain people I
will allow some room for movement. So what I try
and do is be straight down the middle in the politics,
and I give some people a hard time and then
people give me a hard time about giving them a
hard time and all that sort of stuff. But there
are certain people I just genuinely love, and I love Razor,

(01:03:16):
and he and my eyes can do no wrong. So
if he wants to come on and be a bit
content contemplative with a with a with a half baked
record for the season, he can do that, and I'm
comfortable with you. Sorry, guys, guys, is this a considered
response or is.

Speaker 3 (01:03:30):
It a pause of it?

Speaker 2 (01:03:31):
Are turboil in that moment? What's going on?

Speaker 3 (01:03:40):
Point? Game?

Speaker 2 (01:03:41):
That's longer than I remember, and you have you haven't
edited that to make it longer, have you know? That
was quite the That was quite the pause.

Speaker 16 (01:03:48):
But I don't think you should necessarily just rake him
over the coals like everybody likes to do with the
abs and their coaches.

Speaker 6 (01:03:54):
That's so I don't, well, what about what about a
bit of contemplation and then a bit of raking just
to you know, keep everyone happy.

Speaker 2 (01:04:04):
Okay, it's a thought. I'm gonna I'm going to try
next time I have him on, I'm going to do
a little bit of that. But it does go to
your point, Katie, which is a very good point. And
this is where I think you let yourself down this
week with the business of Ginny and the trip to Italy.
You see, I think you were outnumbered on that one.
So your argument was that I should have called Ginny
out when she said she was mettle.

Speaker 16 (01:04:24):
My argument was Ginny would have been the first had
it been the other way around, if MARKET said, oh,
I'm in Italy with my family, Ginny would have been
the first to say nice for some guarantee good.

Speaker 14 (01:04:38):
And she has managed you.

Speaker 2 (01:04:41):
Did that voice again, just enjoy it, and I thought
that's interesting. But my argument, Tim, you're the judge on this,
and you you've not only Cadi, got feedback on this,
and there's a lot of people to agree with it.
My argument is you're Katie. You're probably right. She would
have said that, but that doesn't mean that I need
to lower myself to her level of the game aim
to participate as well.

Speaker 6 (01:05:02):
M M yeah, I'm going to go you know what
I'm going to go with that. I think you let
you bring the people into the arena. You're the ring master,
but you don't need to be one of the one
of the performers.

Speaker 3 (01:05:13):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (01:05:14):
I like that one about that performer because it's your circus. Okay,
next thing we need to address is this real? Is
this real? So Sam's holiday? This is for Christmas and
he's I won't tell you where he's going because then
you'll just go crazy Katy and go nice for thumb,

(01:05:35):
isn't it? Can you can you both do that voice
again at each other? So Sam? So, Sam's got listen
to what he's booking. Last night, he thinks he's got
a deal. So what he was looking for was a
villa with a pool with a private pool. Bali, oh,

(01:05:58):
close but close, but no close with Fichi No, not close,
but no cigar, give me another one.

Speaker 16 (01:06:06):
Thailand. It's got to be an Asian country.

Speaker 2 (01:06:08):
Yep, it's got to be an Asian third world country,
because that's the only place that Sam goes Asian third
world countries.

Speaker 6 (01:06:14):
Fly's malign premium economy on China. Here Malaysia.

Speaker 2 (01:06:21):
No he's no, he's not. But more importantly than the
villa villa, but more importantly is the deal he's got?
And the question will be after the break is the
deal too good to be true? And Chitty book At

Speaker 2 (01:07:37):
That's that's what I said. I said, it was never
six k, but eight ninety. For three nights it was
six hundred. And they put it up to eight ninety
because they know.

Speaker 16 (01:07:50):
Sounds like a Brisco's sale. It sounds like, yeah, manipulative marketing.

Speaker 3 (01:07:54):
See.

Speaker 2 (01:07:54):
Then he said, I said, well, what are you going

No?

Speaker 2 (01:09:16):
No, okay, no, it sounds it sounds. It sounds.

Speaker 6 (01:09:19):
It sounds too much, too much of a discount. You
don't go from six k to eight ninety.

Speaker 2 (01:09:24):
Dog Katie does he book it or not, I say, yes, Okay, Well,
these are dilemma. Do you want me to do you
want me to make the casting vote? I mean, do
you want me to make the call? Well, what I
have happened to know is that he's already booked it,
so it's too late. So he'll be fine. Yes, he'll
be fine.

Speaker 16 (01:09:41):
Hey, in a little bit of news you can use.
I think we should do. I was going to say
the viewers, the listeners are service in terms of what
they could view this weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:09:48):
Because we have I've just have you canceled Prime already.

Speaker 16 (01:09:51):
No, because I've just literally tooked my parents into getting
Amazon Prime. So what I would say is, if you
don't have Amazon, get it and binge watch mob Land,
which is my show of the year, be show ever
go Rital Mobland with Keith Rosnin and Helen Marrin, and
the second show you can binge as The Girl Friends
Yes with Robin Wright, which is brilliant, which we've just finished,
and then cancel your Amazon Prime so you know you

(01:10:12):
got fantastic shows.

Speaker 6 (01:10:14):
Get rid of it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:15):
Okay, cool, bench think Oh, because I'm serious about this,
I'm I'm over being abused as a consumer by giving
people money and then just just jamming them with ads
and stuff like that. I'm not into it. I'm over it,
and I want to make a principled stand.

Speaker 16 (01:10:31):
Well, are you going to cancel all of us streaming
because Amazon has started putting ads on and you now
have to pay to upgrade with to have them without?
But so is everybody else doing the same thing.

Speaker 1 (01:10:39):
They're all going to do it.

Speaker 6 (01:10:41):
Yeah, there's a whole bunch of good stuff on YouTube, guys.
You've got the ads anyway, and it's free and you're
not being scaled by the subscription model.

Speaker 2 (01:10:48):
I tend to when I'm on the bike, I watch
more YouTube than anything else these days, and I die.

Speaker 11 (01:10:52):
You watch YouTube?

Speaker 16 (01:10:53):
Maybe it's your age?

Speaker 2 (01:10:54):
You do watch here?

Speaker 3 (01:10:56):
We are?

Speaker 2 (01:10:57):
I think it's your age? Now quick quick?

Speaker 3 (01:11:00):
What bike? What bike?

Speaker 2 (01:11:01):
What bike you on?

Speaker 6 (01:11:02):
You're on the exercycle.

Speaker 2 (01:11:04):
It's it's like a it's a it's a knife fit.
Because I'm an I'm.

Speaker 6 (01:11:09):
Gonna I think I'm going to get one of those.

Speaker 2 (01:11:11):
You should get one of those. You'll never look back
to him. Cycling avoids devoids dementia. It's a big study
last week, apart from anything else. Now, Katie, are you
aware how do we pay you? Tim? Timmy, you were
a contract or an employee with us?

Speaker 7 (01:11:23):
Do you know?

Speaker 6 (01:11:24):
I see I send you an invoice?

Speaker 2 (01:11:27):
Okay, so you're a contact. This does chuse, this doesn't
count for you. So, Katie, you're you're an employee with
this company? Did you realize that?

Speaker 13 (01:11:36):
I didn't know. I don't know what I am.

Speaker 2 (01:11:38):
Okay, Well, you're an employee. I'm here, I'm playing. It's
I'm Mike from HR. So here I am. So you
would never be an HR. You're an employee. You're an
employee for this company. Right, So you're employed by zid me.
Do you know that as a person who works? And
it's a rough calculation, but I think it's about thirteen
minutes a week? So from person person who works the

(01:12:04):
thirteen minutes a week, do you know that you're entitled
to ten days sick leave a year?

Speaker 16 (01:12:10):
Oh fantastic. And do you know I'm not going to
take that because I'm a good person.

Speaker 2 (01:12:15):
No, but you're entitled to it. So you could take
the next ten fridays, in other words, two and a
half months sick leave and not turn up on this
program and for the entire rest of the year and
you're more than entitled. How mad is that? As a rule?
It's crazy, isn't that?

Speaker 16 (01:12:31):
As the tax season in London taking all the asylum
seekers to their medical.

Speaker 2 (01:12:35):

got a hurry. Ends October one and October's almost here,
so head and store, do it online at chemist Warehouse
and stop paying too Muchsky comes just signing an executive

(01:13:40):
order on TikTok, and I'm just trying to work out
whether that's the final deal. And the Mourdocks are involved,
and Allison's running at and it's all sorted out, Mike
for Sammy alarm bells. A villa with waitresses. That's weird
as travel agents, And in all the trips we've done
with Asia, including Vietnam, this is a new one on us.
Tread carefully, young man. That's from clear the travel agents.
I might have if I could just decept some problems here,

(01:14:05):
I might have perhaps enhanced the experience lightly with the
waitress part of it. There was a villa, and there
is a pol and there's probably a chef, but I
think I might have made the waitress part up. But nevertheless,
I mean, it's a very good deal, isn't it. From
nineteen thousand dollars down to twelve hundred and fifty dollars.
Whatever it is an you know how it goes. I
mean details, details, I mean, what's it really matter? As
long as you have a good time. The big thing.
By the way, the only reason of interest in the

(01:14:26):
TikTok is that there was, and it's been a twist
in the last day or so. It was the algorithm
that was the key. TikTok itself is neither here nor there.
It's the algorithm that everybody wants, and the Chinese were
going to hold it and license it. It looks like
the Americans have been able to twist that and they're
going to at least in some way, shape or form,
get access because the TikTok algorithm is superior to everybody

(01:14:50):
else's algorithm and that's the secret source, so to speak. Anyway,
let's go to Australia. In a couple of moments, Sam
memories with us after the News, which is next here
of news talk Scene, the.

Speaker 1 (01:15:04):
Breakfast Show, Kiwi's Trust to Stay in the Know, the
Mic Hosking Breakfast with Range Rover leading by example, News
Talks Dead b.

Speaker 2 (01:15:13):
Let's just have a listen to what Trump's got to say.
About the TikTok deal.

Speaker 7 (01:15:16):
Great respect for President She and I very much appreciate
that he approved the deal because to get it done properly,
we really needed the support of China and the approval
of China. If I could make it one hundred percent, bag,
I would, But it's not going to work out that
way unfortunately.

Speaker 2 (01:15:32):
No, everyone's going to be treated fairly.

Speaker 7 (01:15:34):
Every group, every philosophy, every policy will be treated very fairly.

Speaker 2 (01:15:41):
So what's interesting about the civil things interesting about that
if you go back to the original part of the story,
he was going to basically close it down and pull
it in America. And this goes back to not just
TikTok but Byte Dance, who run it. So he made
the threat threat seemed real, and he's turned the Chinese
on it. For a couple of days ago, the secret
source the algorithm seemed to be a thing. So in
other words, the Chinese get to hold the algorithm, or
at least license it in some way, shape or form,

(01:16:03):
so the magic still goes their way. That seems to
have been turned. The announcement contains no real detail. Last
we heard the Murdocks are involved. Larry Ellison of Oracle
is involved. But the Americans basically own it. We don't
know how much they paid for it, we don't know
what they've got, etc. But TikTok remains open and it
will be a free speech platform, which is interesting because

(01:16:25):
Elon Musk yesterday had a crack at elbow elbow while
being in New York. He's now on his way to London.
For as far as I can work out, a pointless exercise,
because what he was supposed to do in New York
was meet Trump and talk about ORCUS and once he
talked about UCUST, then go on to London to talk
to Starrut about UCIS, but of course, because he's never
met Trump, they didn't talk about UCUST. The other thing
he was doing at the UN, though, was taking his

(01:16:47):
under sixteen ban on social media to the UN to
get a bit of support. Problem with the under sixteen
ban is, as I featured on the program. A couple
of weeks ago, a major report came out in Australia
that said there is no way, there is no universal,
one stop shop way that they could find that bans

(01:17:08):
under sixteens from social media. Now, could the social media platforms,
in some way, shape or form do a bunch of
stuff that would help the cause, Yes, will they know?
So then you come down to the well, the law's
going to pass in Australia come December and kids are
going to get around it, And you get then also
the free speech argument. So somebody like muskwas in and

(01:17:30):
talks about social media bands violating human rights, and technically
I suspect he's probably right because does a sixteen year
old have the right to go on a social media
platform if he or she wants to? And I think
most people would probably argue yes. Is what Elbow's trying
to do realistic in terms of protecting people from harm?

Speaker 3 (01:17:52):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:17:53):
Is it altruistic? And do we all broadly agree with
the concept as parents? Yes, So it's going to come
to play, and when it does, places like us New
Zealand watch it to see whether it works. But you know,
people like Elon are fairly bullish on this stuff, and
I wouldn't be surprised to see a bunch of lawyers
involved before long. And where that goes will be most interesting.

(01:18:16):
It is twenty minutes away from none Lasik now Sam Emory,
who was going to be our Australian correspondent, but will
never be heard from again on this program because he
was only filling it the best of times, has not
answered his phone, so he is sacked. The ten days
sickly that he had accrued is now gone and he
will be getting no a slash Oliver because he turned

(01:18:38):
out to be a complete and utter waste of space.

Speaker 3 (01:18:40):
He just doesn't know what an ordinary work day is.

Speaker 2 (01:18:42):
Know what an ordinary workday is now? The interesting thing
I wanted to cover with him is this bloke, Stephen Rue,
who is the Optus chief executive and the Optis chief executive,
is still chief executive at the end of the week,
and a week I would have thought he would have resigned.
He shows, as far as I can work out, no
inclination to resigning, the fact that the Minister has launched
an investigation and suggested he might want to look at

(01:19:03):
his position, and also Elman Easy, the aforementioned no Less
from New York, when asked about the same thing, wondered
out loud whether he wasn't having a think about his
future as well. So when the Prime Minister says something
like that, you tend to fall on your sword, but
Ru isn't hasn't so far, and this morning in the
Sydney Morning Herald. We have a bunch of emails that
reveal how optis in fact tried to downplay the Triple

(01:19:23):
zero disaster that they had. And this is an interesting
insight because you ask yourself at any given moment how
many people are using triple zero in Australia, and do
remember you've got to be an optor's customer, how many
people are using it? Initially the word was ten. Turns
out to be six hundred. So while the system wasn't working,

(01:19:44):
it turns out that six hundred people were trying to
use it, and we all know tragically as a result
of that, at least four people have ended up dead.
So the inquiries underway, the pressures on him, the emails
have been released, so I don't think it's going to
end well for him. Nineteen to two.

Speaker 2 (01:20:11):
Micha Ihlaikaboss that takes nobs and just sacks you if
you're not performing, good on you here. Now when I
run the world, it's going to be a real different
day truth bomb. Apparently Winston Peter's New York interesting comments
do we mark him down, well, we do mark him down.
We mark him down for getting stuck in traffick and
not turning up at the Trump lunch function. Whatever reception,
he's got enough political capital to burn because he's as

(01:20:34):
the Herald boardroom numbers this week showed you, he's the
second most popular according to Business anyway, second most popular
cabinet minister going. He's done a very good job. I'm
a very big fan in the work he's doing overseas.
He's a hustler and he's working hard. So missing something
like that for sort of reasons beyond your control, I'll
let it pass, but just leave early is probably something

(01:20:57):
you could think about. But he did make an interesting comment.
I thought yesterday he might re Trump be able to
e rectify it before he leaves. So I don't know
what he meant by that, whether that's ever going to
come to pass, because I'm looking at Trump literally now,
and he's in Washington and Peters in New York, so
I'm assuming it's too lack Anyway, He's in a meeting
this morning, a breakfast meeting, and he says that the
world needs to face the quote unquote elephant in the
room on global emissions. He said, We've got to be

(01:21:19):
honest and realistic here, four countries compromise or comprize rather
sixty percent of the world's emissions and the rest of
the one hundred and ninety one countries are wrestling with
this problem. We have to face the fact, deal with
that we are in a battle we can't possibly win
on that. I think he's correct. I think of you
if you take the emotion out of climate change and
just look at the facts. We aren't winning. We're making
a lot of promises we can't keep, don't keep, and

(01:21:42):
what's the point of that. So reporters at this particular point,
we're asked to leave the meeting after these remarks. Apparently,
staff later relayed that the World Bank's Global Director for
Climate Change, Valerie Hecky, went on to say the Foreign
Affairs Minister had quote unquote dropped a truth bomb and
reinforced how critical it was for major emitters to take
meaningful action. Peas has said, even if it wasn't the
United States involved, there are still three other countries, China

(01:22:05):
being the leading one, of course, and the other economies
where no contribution in terms of omission's reduction is being made. Now,
where is technically wrong on that?

Speaker 11 (01:22:14):
Is?

Speaker 2 (01:22:14):
She was in front of the via video in front
of the UN yesterday making the first emissions promises they've
ever made, So I don't know. Maybe he hadn't caught
up on that. So let's face the elephant in the room,
he said, and stop kidding ourselves that all this effort
and all this money is going to get us any
outcome without an agreement. And on that once again removed
the emotion. I think he's probably right, isn't he? Which

(01:22:38):
brings me and I must think a Texter who alluded
me yesterday to an article in the Washington Post which
I got and read yesterday, is the Washington Post behind
a wall? Did you get it behind a wall? Semi
or not? Semi's not even listening. It's incredible, is it?
So behind a wall? Take your money from Amazon and

(01:22:59):
by the Washington Post, we have to. It's the story
of Uruguay. So this bloke Galain set Urroquai on a
rapid path to becoming one of the world's clean energy leaders.
Went from relying heavily on fossil fuels for electricity production
to establishing a stable grid powered almost entirely by renewable
resources wind, solar, water, biomass, waste. One of the solutions

(01:23:23):
he proposed at the time was to install a nuclear
power plant. So this is why the text suggested to me,
because I was a big fan of this. So the
idea was to install a nuclear power plant. This bloke
a particle physicist who had been studying what happened in
the first seconds after the Big Bang. He felt with
his academic background, it could produce useful insights into Uruguay's
energy conundrum. Nuclear power was not the solution. It became

(01:23:45):
clear to him that renewables would be the key to
sustainably powering the country of more than three point three
million people. So he published this paper with his findings.
The president saw it, rang him up. He said, let's
get on with it. And so as of last year,
the electricity mix is ninety nine point one percent renewable.
Reduce the cost by a factor of two, created a

(01:24:07):
lot of jobs. Plan result in fifty thousand new jobs,
accounts for about three percent of Uruguay's total labor force.
And now they're actually exporting renewable energy surpluses to Argentina
and Brazil. So I might well be wrong. Maybe completely
renewable virtually completely renewable is real, and Uruguay is proof.
Eleven away from nine the.

Speaker 2 (01:24:33):
Be Resonate Health founded by if You Didn't Know by
James Whittaker. He's a proud of New Zealander with decades
of experience in audiology and health and after years inside
the industry, what old James saw was the same story
over and over again. Kiwi's being asked to pay thousands
of dollars up front for hearing aids, pressured into upgrades
and leftore. They are basically outdated technology. So he knew,
what can I do? This needs to change, which is

(01:24:53):
why basically he created Resonate Health and the unlimited Hearing
aid subscription. So from just mighty dollars a month, you
receive top of the range hearing aids, full support, free
upgrade to the latest tech every three years. Price is
locked in for life, and if it's not right for you,
you can even return the product at any time. No
other provider offers that kind of confidence. So James is

(01:25:14):
built basically a world class team and he guarantees New
Zealand's best value hearing. As simple as that, and after
only three years it's the largest one hundred percent here.
We owned audiology provide it in the country, so she
has a success story. Telephone number is eight hundred Resonate
which is eight hundred seven three seven sixty six two
eight hundred seven three seven six six two. And you
can do it all online if you like as well

(01:25:34):
Resonate Health one word resonate health dot co dot nz padsky.
I don't know what the point of certain studies is,
but the one on eden Park yesterday, I mean it
just tells us what we already know that they could.
Eden Park Auckland could triple triple its annual economic boost
simply by hosting twelve concerts it's currently allowed to. So
this is the University of Auckland University project looked at

(01:25:56):
the twenty three twenty four financial year. Three large concerts,
number of sporting games the stadium created more than thirty
seven million annual GDP benefits to Auckland, supports local businesses,
creates job attracts visitors to all the usual stuff, ultimately
enhances Auckland's global profile. Of course, concerts deliver the biggest returns.
Not surprisingly, a large concert adds around eight point three million,

(01:26:17):
supports one hundred and fourteen full time equivalent jobs, generates
four point three million in householding comes per night. That's
just our concert. It's incredible.

Speaker 3 (01:26:24):
Ah.

Speaker 2 (01:26:24):
A medium concert that's six point four million to the GDP,
they modeled a couple of scenarios staying within the stadium's
physical and consented to capacity, maximum number of concert maximum
number of rugby matches. From November of twenty three to
October twenty four, they hosted eden Park twenty two matches sports,
where the net GDP contribution of thirteen million three concerts

(01:26:45):
contribution twenty four million indicates that eden Park has significant
theoretical capacity to deliver larger regional economic contribution. Well, I
mean no kidding, Sherlock. So in other words, if you
used what you already have slightly more often than you do,
would it be benefit official to the wider community? Yes,
which then brings you back to the decision the other day,
which was to investigate their consulting. Lord knows why, just

(01:27:07):
get on and do it. But they're consulting the idea
that you actually take a facility. You've got maximize it
and reap the rewards. It just seems extraordinary that in
twenty twenty five we're still trying to track, trying to
tackle the bleeding obvious. Five away from.

Speaker 1 (01:27:23):
Nine trending now with Chemist Warehouse are praised by it
would sale on now.

Speaker 2 (01:27:29):
Now this depends on which side of the camp you
are on. So Britain's got this massive problem with illegal migrants.
We've told you about it before. Macron says, one of
the things that could help you, Kia is a digital
ID card. So Key is about to announce I think
tomorrow they say Friday their time, Saturday our time, that
every adult in the country is going to need to

(01:27:51):
have a digital ID card. So you go, oh good,
Well that means that all the illegals won't have one.
Therefore they'll get caught out flip side people like this.

Speaker 17 (01:28:00):
They've called it the brit card. Now let's call it
what it really is. The Brick card is not about
making your life easier. It's about making you easier to track,
control and punish. If you step out of line across
whatever line of the day is deemed important, I won't
be living with you in a digital cage. I will

(01:28:23):
do everything to remain outside of that system cure.

Speaker 9 (01:28:26):
Starmer's announcement of digital ID or a brit card is
really just another example of how his government continues toward
totalitarianism through a chilling array of authoritarian measures.

Speaker 10 (01:28:38):
All that digital ID will be is a means of
controlling the population, of telling us what we can and
can't do, of finding the innocent. I do not see
a single benefit to the government having digital ID other
than them controlling what we do, what we spend, and
where we go.

Speaker 2 (01:28:57):
And you live. The twenty four miets sonnouncement, I'm assuming
because everyone's reporting it already. The announcement comes tomorrow, so
he's got on a fairly full plate of sticky issues
and even fuller plate of sticky issues. So we'll see
how that plays out and unfolds over the weekend. So
that is us for the week. By the way, the

(01:29:18):
prize to Melbourne with Visa will be starting to do
on Monday, so we'll be calling out three names first
to call in. And you've got your business class fairs
and your accommodation and we're talking about a track experience
in Melbourne next year. That is a once in a lifetime,
money can't buy just can you believe how lucky you are?

(01:29:40):
Type scenario. So to register over the weekend newstalk ZB
dot co dot NEM to go to the competition's area,
and we wish you the very best with luck, very
best with that, and we wish you a very happy
weekend and look for to your company from six o'clock
on Monday a few days.
