Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're Trusted Home the News, Sport, Entertainment's Opinion and Mike
the Mike Hosking Breakfast with a Veda, Retirement, Communities, Life
Your Way, News, togs Head Been and welcome today.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
The government backdown on fast track? Does it appease the critics?
And does it slowed all down? New rules for emergency housing?
Check in today. Jeremy Clarkson's pub opened over the weekend.
Four our cues. We've got to punt it with a review.
LED's do the sport in the commentary box after Oh,
Steve Price, Richard Arnold, they do the foreign matter as well, Husky,
Welcome to the week seven past six. Couple of people
came to my attention over the weekend. One good, one

(00:33):
suspect one Shawn Johnson. It was a weird send off.
He deserves so much better. The weather it was shocking. Oh,
you can do nothing about the weather. Of course, the
loss you can, though. We will either end the season
with twenty one or twenty three points. The two points
for sure are coming from the final round. By of course,
sort of sums up the season, really doesn't It ends
with a whimper. Shawn's farewell was a whimper as well.
The loss was a microcosm of everything that's gone wrong

(00:56):
this year, too many mistakes and an inexplicable loss of form.
Details should end at least with the trip to the
playoffs in a high drama playoff game at that at
home as your final winning act for a side that
essentially you've spent your whole career at. It wasn't to be.
It doesn't diminish what he contributed over the years, of course,
it just didn't turn out to be what it should
have been. And then two we have carmel' Sepaloni and

(01:18):
her Treasure Island adventure. She's double dipping. She's giving money
to some charity. The charity i read yesterday doesn't know this,
which led me to wonder to myself whether the charity
was a last minute sort of idea when it became
a little bit public that Carmel was being an MP,
being paid to be an MP while also being paid
to be a contestant on a reality television show. If
there is a defense, it's that MP's are employed in

(01:39):
a weird way. You don't get holidays per se, you
don't have annual leavers granted by the party, and this
is where poor old Chippy's been thrown under the bus
by Sepaloni, who was super fast and pointing out one.
He granted the leave too, He knew about the money
in three, was enthusiastic, had not been amused by it all.
Here is the trouble with it. It simply reminds us
we have too many politicians but not enough to do.
And that's even worse than opposition. Their reputations are not

(02:02):
that stellar to start with and not helped. When you
do choose not to work, you do it on the telly.
Earning money in an exercise that, let's be honest, is
a bit low rent. No one thinks better of her
or her leader because of this.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
News of the world in ninety seconds.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
So what do we make of a his Bala attack?

Speaker 4 (02:20):
And he says he didn't want to target civilian areas.
He aimed to target sites close to Tel Aviv, but
had no intention of using precision missiles today but may
use them in future.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
That Yahoo remains confident.

Speaker 5 (02:35):
We instructed the Idea to carry out a powerful preemptive
strike to remove the threat. The Idea have destroyed thousands
of short range rockets and they were all intended to
harm our citizens and our forces in Galilee.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
To this remarkable news from NASA and Boeing that the
star Liner is not bringing Sonny in butch home.

Speaker 6 (02:52):
The easiest and best optional words to configure the Creunaim
vehicle with a couple of empty seeds on the way
uphill to put ballast in those seats so SpaceX had
that capability.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
In Britain, a couple of things. Firstly, the new Prime
Minister lines up a major speech this week to try
and break it to the locals that fiscally things aren't
that flash and they indeed will get worse before they
get better.

Speaker 7 (03:15):
He's going to say the country faces major challenges and
are not going to be solved overnight, and that's our
departure from some of the snake oil that's been sold
to people in recent years.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Punters seem to get.

Speaker 8 (03:29):
It, they hear it.

Speaker 9 (03:30):
They're blamed the previous government.

Speaker 10 (03:32):
So there's nothing new there.

Speaker 11 (03:34):
It's a difficult job.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
Well, I think I'm much sure that he is realistic
and honest.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
The nonrealistic and Voo's just missed the putt she was
putting for Birdie. This is literally happening as we spoke.
She was sorry, Yeah, coz one, that's what I'm leading
up to. So she's missed the putt for Birdie, so
therefore she's not going to end up tying or needing
a playoff. So Lydia co has won. So that's exciting,

(03:59):
isn't it. The end of the story of the week.
Kirsty alsof of location Location pane let a fifteen year
old and to make travel across Europe the summer by themselves.
She thought it was about independence to the authority as well.
They didn't see it that way.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
She said. I thought his trip was inspiring and it
never occurred to me in a million years that a
call from children's services would be involved. It's been a
huge shock, not least for Oscar.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
And that is news of the world. And Nat, I'll
come back to that, because there's been no reportage in
this country at all of the last This has been
building up for a couple of days, the Alsop story,
but I'll come back to that anyway. A couple of wars.
You've got the Israel one a moment ago. I think
that was well telegraphed and was very like the Iranian situation.
A couple of months ago. Hey, we're going to send
some rockets across and they go yep, yep. We're willing
to sept them and that'll be the end of that anyway.

(04:42):
Biden's also spoken over the weekend to Zelenski and has
announced new military aid with one hundred and twenty five million,
which in the grand scheme of things isn't all that much,
but we've got air offense missiles, counter drone equipment, anti
armor missiles as well as ammunition. Twelve minutes past six.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio Power
by News Talk Zippy.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Yeah, so very exciting lydia co third major and it's
amazing how winning leads to winning, isn't it. So you
get a gold medal and you pick up a major.
So that's fantastic for her. This morning will reflect more
on it, of course, and we've got some seemingly some
very exciting news for Liam Lawson this morning in the
f one that's later on this morning as well. By
the way, there was some democracy and action across the
Tasman over the weekend. In the Northern Territory they had

(05:28):
an election and if I was Elbow, I'd be nervous
about this because the labor government, as they were, got
absolutely thrashed and so the coalition has won that. So
we'll have more with Steve Lader in the program fifteen
past six. Right I from Devon Funds Management, Monday Morning,
Greg Smith, Morning to you, Morning to Mike Jackson Hole

(05:49):
Jerome Powell. Did he say the right stuff?

Speaker 11 (05:52):
He certainly did. Hey in the region Wyoming at snows On,
we can spot big bears, but it was more case
of the bulls when he was talking the rarely go
So she suggested that rate cuts a nigh. In fact,
he said the time has come to a dust policy,
noted progress on inflation and all the good week that's
been done there, and he said the bank can now
turn to the other side of its mandate, which is

(06:13):
ensuring the employment market remains strong. So it didn't give
any specifics on when or by how much, but in
the markets are pretty much saying next month. The stock
market fell, so the dollar fell on the announcement that
the stock market jumped, of course, so the market is
now pricing a certainty that the federal cut rates next
month and a twenty five percent probability that the rate

(06:33):
will be a half percent cut rather than a quarter
percent rate set to be at least one percent lower
by the end of the year. So how much the
cut is could it be dependent on a few things.
Maybe the next set of job numbers, which early next
month before the meeting. So officials now see the economy
slowing down a little bit, they don't want to see
the jobs market to tear out too quickly. We've got

(06:54):
that unemployment rate up to around about four point three
percent now, and we also had that data last week
which showed the use economy credit eight over eight hundred
thousand jobs, fewer than estimated in the year of March,
so there will be conscious of that. But yeah, generally
might the economy is going pretty well. We've seen it
through the uning season, we've seen it through data, and
we've got more data. On Friday, July, new home sales
came in at seven hundred and fifty one thousand. It

(07:16):
was a high since May twenty twenty three, and more
than the six and twenty thousand expected, So the rights
of a movie yet. But more drats have been there
been falling that's stoking news housing market activity, and we
might get more of a lift in the months ahead.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
There, okay, and then we got to so they keep
on keeping on. You thought they might be a COVID story,
but not, sorry Fisher and Parking.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
That's right, has it?

Speaker 11 (07:35):
Yeah, So Fishing Pocal Healthcare almost back at the pandemic high,
only a few bucks away from we've got to twenty twenty.
So more good news. On Friday, they came through with
an upgrade that she has saw ten percent and then
has a pretty big impact on our market. You know,
Fishing Pocal Healthcare is a run about fifteen percent of
the ends had fifty with around twenty one billion dollars.

(07:55):
So yeah, that went down well with the market. The
company said that the edidate had been strong across all products.
Margins they have been increasing, new product introductions have been
going well. It's seeing improved demand for respiratory devices from hospitals,
it said. New masks so getting good reviews, those for treading,
obstructive sleep apnea, and actually also appears to dismiss those
fears around weight loss drugs having an impact on the

(08:16):
clinical need for these products. So half your revenues they've
seen in the range of nine forty to nine to
fifty million, which would be around about eighteen percent higher
than a year again in the midpoint net profit after
text one fifty to one sixty million, that would be
forty nine percent high. At the top end of the range.
They've kept the four year guides Mike at one point
nine to two billion dollars net profit after texts about

(08:36):
that by about ten million bucks three twenty to three
seventy million. They said that the second half will depend
on how the busiest phase in northern hemispheres respiratory virus
season goes, and it hasn't started yet, but yeah, it
was good news, which he also had good news for
another sort of vital company or and also part of
our economy with Fontier, they've lifted twenty five forecasts milk

(08:56):
priced for fifty cents to eight bucks fifty and increasing balance.
Its strength means farmers are going to be paid earlier
in temps percent more of the forecast than they had anticipated.
I look at earnings for this year, they're expected to
be at the top end of the forecast range sixty
to seventy cents a year. So it's a welcome tonic
for Jerry farmers. Might shear is up five percent another
if he had least positive news. Fletcher Building they felt

(09:18):
almost nine percent to the Commerics Commission they reckon Wednesday
and more birds will barge us a use of volume
ary bates breach. The Comic Sect intend to file legal proceedings.
Also being reported across the Tees and right western Stream
and build a BGC. They expect to follow acclaim over
its leaky pipes disputes and not such such good news there,
but good news for for Fontier and Fishing Park and

(09:40):
Fishing and Parker by the way, is up almost fifty
percent year.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
Good stuff. What are the numbers?

Speaker 12 (09:44):
So the dare that.

Speaker 11 (09:46):
Jumped higher again on Friday following remarks and Jackson Hole
so at one point one percent four one one seven
five s and p at one point one percent as well,
five sixty three four Now as that jumped one and
a half percent, seventy eight seven seven foots the up
half percent, Nick up point four percent, asex two hundred
across the TASM was flat eight zero two to three.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
We're going to lift as mentioned.

Speaker 11 (10:05):
Fishing Pike Wednesday fifty was up half percent, twelve five
two nine. Gold up twenty six bucks, twenty five and
twelve and ounce oil up a dollar eighty seventy four
spot eighty currency markets the US dollar weekend on those
remarks on POW, which meant that we went up in
terms of our dollars. So sixty two point three against
the US Q was forty seven point two against stealing

(10:26):
it was up point six percent, eight dollars ninety one
point seven, up point two percent this week, Mike, we're
inflation numbers in Australia, Europe, the US with US GDP.
We've got results in BHP and aidaling and video, and
locally we've got business consumer confidence and we've got building
permits data, lots of results my eighteen in fact with
the Somerset and course today and we've got Meridian and

(10:48):
an usial on later in the week.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
Going to need to buckle up, go well. Talk to
Greg Smith, Devin Funds managements records broken over the weekend.
Babe Ruths jersey famous jersey. I'll give you the number
in just a couple of moments. Previously, the most valuable
jersey ever sold at auction in terms of sports memorabilia
was Jordan's from the nineteen ninety eight NBA Finals, got
about fifteen million dollars. The previous best price for anything

(11:10):
sport related was a fifty two Tops baseball card that
went for twenty million. The baseball card featured Mickey Mantle,
but this jersey from Babe Ruth, who was the thirty
two World Series. The Yankees were playing the Cubs. Ruth goes,
I'm gonna hit the ball over there. He called the shot.
I'm gonna hit the ball over there. I'm gonna hit
home run. He did exactly that. So that was the
jersey and it went over the weekend for thirty six

(11:32):
million dollars. It is six twenty one Monday morning on
the mic Hosking Breakfast Good.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
The Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered
by News Talks.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
At Me Morning. Mike, I'm and abad f one follower.
You sports reader always announces the winner in second place.
Get it seems to regularly leave out the Please ask
him to include the other podium when a Look, I
can't speak for Andrew. I don't know what's gone wrong there,
but I'll do something with Mike.

Speaker 10 (11:59):
Yes, sometime a battle for first place, right.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Well, there wasn't today. If you saw the race theory,
there was no battle today, Lacli Park Park.

Speaker 10 (12:09):
Mccarr back in the garage there.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Claire came third. Here's the interesting story. So you've got
your scrap between Helmet Marco and Christian Horner that we
told you about on Friday, and there's politics at play
here as regards the future of Liam. So Horner tries
to explain over the weekend that Helmet Marco didn't say
that Liam's in a red Bull car next year. He
didn't say that. What he said was that Liam's in

(12:32):
ah car next year. So believe who you want to believe.
Over the weekend, Logan Sergeant true to form smashes his
car under the fence yet again, and this time in
spectacular fashion. He's already been let go for next year,
and James Valles, who runs Williams, is so over him
because of the cost of repairing the car. The word
is that Sergeant's going to be let go as of

(12:54):
now and they will have a new driver as of
next week. Who is that new driver? So could be Schumacher,
could be into Nelly, or it could be Liam. So
we watch for the news this week.

Speaker 13 (13:05):
So I've got another theory about the first and second
thing because this time. It was a big distance, right,
so that's significant because he went by so much, so
it doesn't really matter who came second. It's just no, okay,
I'll keep working on it.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
Trending now with Squarehouse, you're one star for Father's Day fragrances.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
So they're back together. Looks like the Gallagher brothers split
in two thousand and nine, haven't spoken a lot of people.
They didn't jumping through the media. Fans are big for
them to get back together again. But if you listen
to Liam didn't seem a fan of the idea.

Speaker 14 (13:37):
I dare use to call me and you won't call me,
because if you do call me and I go I
said that's a good idea, Actually that might work, then
the ass falls out of his trousers, because then then
you've got to be in the same room as me
and then involved all that ends up.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
So you call me, stop tweeting. You're bigger than that,
You're bath from that. You never say never. British media
reporting that they struck a fifty million pound one hundred
million dollar pay day for constants next year Wembley, glastonbree
In fact, I think it's a whole world tour, apparently
rumors fueled by Liam is written on X I never
did like that word former. Now Liam is performing as

(14:19):
we speak, not literally probably it's only half ost seven
at night, but he's at the Reading Festival as we speak,
and the expectation is tonight in some way shapeful for me,
it's going to confirm all of this. Noel, of course,
went through the twenty million pound divorce, and so they
went to Nolan and said, Noel, how's the back belts
looking at as the mother's good as it was pre
the divorce. He stayed at clarages for many weeks on

(14:39):
end after his divorce, which I thought was a very night.
I mean, it's nothing wrong with staying at clarages, but
it does tend to be a little bit expensive. Anyway,
They said, and on you want some money? He said,
I want minks some money. So that's expected to be
confirmed later on tonight. Meantime, the news is next.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
The newspakers and the personalities the big names talk to,
like asking breakfast with the range rover villa designed to
intrigue and use TOGSB.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
Might have answered the question one of the great debates
around the tax cuts. In this part, of the world was,
of course, where they get or would they get spent?
And is that inflationary? Research Out over the weekend out
of Australia, where the same thing happened, they had tax
cuts as well. Stage three is what they called them.
Of the tax cuts. Westpac did some investigation a million
customers by and large, and they were tax cuts anywhere

(15:24):
from seventeen dollars ninety a week if you're on fifty
grand a year, to forty two dollars a week if
you're one hundred thousand dollars a year, buy and large,
the vast majority of people say, from sitting in the bank,
not remotely spent and not remotely inflationary. Twenty three minutes
away from seven the weegion, of course, Kamala Harris's speech
there was a winner. If you watch that, forget the
politics where your support trump Paul Kamala Harris. She gave
a brilliant speech to wrap up our business on Friday,

(15:47):
our time, and Robert Kennedy did what we suspect that
he would do. So anyway, Richard Arnlong that for you
shortly meantime, in a reminder of how fragile our power
system is. We find out through official information sources for
government papers, an additional power line to connect, say somewhere
like the Coromandel would cost half a billion dollars. Now
Engineering New Zealand electrical expert Daniel Juddin's, well, there's Daniel

(16:09):
morning to you.

Speaker 15 (16:11):
Anyway.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
So the papers that got released here came out of
blurd of course, but the problem with it was that
people took bolts out of a pole and that tends
to fall over. Do we actually need more power, more
infrastructure or not?

Speaker 16 (16:27):
Owen's a good question.

Speaker 15 (16:29):
So in places like Northland and Coromandel, I guess in
terms of security of supply that they're talking about in
this case is the nature of where these locations are.
They're on the edges the fringes of the national group,
and in those places it does get down to a
point where there is only physically one line or two

(16:49):
lines very close together, where you are susceptible to you know,
a car striking a pole or a tower falling over
in the case of clor and so it's not necessarily
in those locations a capacity issue. Is the physical infrastructure

(17:10):
being the risk.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
A two part question. As an expert, do you look
at places like Coromandel or Northland, those fragile geographic places
and go geez, we're a bit on the edge. To
second part is half a billion, about the number you
would have come up with before you saw the number.

Speaker 16 (17:28):
For the first part.

Speaker 15 (17:30):
Netlands and Coromandel have slightly different issues in terms of
their security of supply. So Corimandel, while it also only
has one power in it at places going to townships
and things like that in Corimandeal Township, for example, the
men issue in Coromandel is actually the load on the

(17:51):
network in that area when everyone's visiting for summer holidays
and things like that, and so there's a different solution
for an area like that because you're just trying to
deal with those Christmas holiday peak consumption times. And the
local power Authority in Coromandel PALCO has actually a bunch

(18:13):
of projects that they've got underway to address that particular issue,
which is generators in the local townships, and also they're
exploring solar panels with batteries and homes, creating like a
virtual power plant essentially for the local area. And there's

(18:33):
also a bunch of projects either underway or an exploratory
phase to connect grid scale solar farms, like very large
solar farms to the network and those will kind of
deal with that particular issue in the coromandum Northland. Slightly different,
slightly different problem. It's not necessarily the electrical capacity. It's

(18:58):
kind of the risk of the networks being out on
the fringe there to what happened, you know with that
recent event for Transpower. Well they had a line, they
had a line under maintenance and then also at the
same time a line it's all over.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
Well, yes, exactly, Well you can't legislate forridiots, can you?
Daniel appreciate it? Daniel Judden, who's engineering New Zealand electrical expert,
nineteen minutes away from seven speaking, which yet again another
example of how the bulk of New Zealanders don't think
the way you might think they think when you follow
the media. So out of fast track has come the
debate around do ministers have too much power? Out of

(19:37):
fast track has come to the debate around mining and
suddenly we want to drill baby, drill, dig baby, dig
and all that sort of stuff. Do you support was
the polling question, do you support or oppose more mining
in New Zealand. Listen to the News. You think we're
all against mining, not so forty five versus thirty eight
support mining. Chris Bishop with us in an hour nineteen
two the Mic.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio cow it By
News Talks.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
It be if you're just joining us. Lidia is one
of the third major this morning in Scotland. And what
a beautiful doe in Scotland. It was complete with in
the middle of summer, woolen hats and raincoats. But a
win's a win.

Speaker 17 (20:14):
It's pretty surreal.

Speaker 13 (20:15):
Uh.

Speaker 17 (20:16):
You know, winning the gold medal in Paris a couple
of weeks ago, it was almost too good to be true.
And obviously heading into the weekend I was in contention
and I said, how is it possible for me to
win the AAG Woman's Open. You know, I've had the
most Cinderella like story this past a few weeks and
this is almost too good to be true.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of mind
for New Zealand business.

Speaker 18 (20:44):
Rich and have a morning to you.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
So plenty going on.

Speaker 19 (20:49):
Yeah, but you know remember President de Caucus. Of course
there never was such a figure. But I raised this
because right after the Democratic Convention in eighty eight, the
Democratic nominee for the White House was seventeen points ahead
of George Bush Senior in the polls. How did the
race turn out? Bush one in a landslide, leading by
eight points in the national popular vote and carrying forty

(21:11):
one state. So polls can change, is the point here.
There is a new survey out today by University. I've
never heard of Joannekamler and the coach holding a seven
point lead over Trump and co. But this race is
not done yet. Harris is promising to do an interview
before the end of this month, so clock is ticking.
She is also going to take part in a debate
with Trump on September the tenth here, and we have

(21:35):
seen lately how significant debates Meantime, multiple members of the
Kennedy family have come out this weekend announcing the endorsement
of Donald Trump by RFK Junior, their beloved family member.
His siblings, and other Kennedy family are calling this a
quote sad ending to a sad story. The former candidate's cousin,
Jack Schlossberg says quote RFK Junior is for sale. Other

(21:58):
Kennedy family members calling this quote betrayal. They say they
love RFK, but yes, he's a bit crazy. Finally, abortion
jd Vance has been out on one of the news
shows today trying to downplay the abortion issue for Republicans
and Democratic claims that Trump iights would outlaw abortion nationally.
He is how Vans responded in his exchange with NBC's

(22:21):
Kristin Walker, who quoted Senator Lindsay Graham's call for an
abortion ban.

Speaker 20 (22:26):
Senator Graham said to me, I'm going to keep saying
that there should be a federal ban. If such a
piece of legislation landed on Donald Trump's desk, would he
veto it?

Speaker 2 (22:37):
I think you'd be very clear he would not support it.

Speaker 10 (22:39):
I mean yeah, I mean if you're not supporting it,
as the President United.

Speaker 21 (22:42):
States, veto a federal abortion ban, I think he would.

Speaker 22 (22:46):
He said that explicitly that he would, and I think
he's ever said explicitly he would.

Speaker 3 (22:50):
He said that to you, Lindsey Graham, Kristen, I would
be surprised.

Speaker 11 (22:54):
Me again, I need to see the contacts on what
Lindsey Graham said, because Lindsey Graham himself has not advocated
if yeah, you.

Speaker 19 (23:01):
Got that, Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren reacted saying, quote, women
are not stupid.

Speaker 18 (23:07):
Now.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
They say they're happy to be there, but February is
a long time away. It's not eight days, is it,
which was the original schedule.

Speaker 19 (23:15):
We had the big announcement that they're staying up on
the Space station, these two Boeing Starliner crew members for
eight months. That's because the Boeing rocket has been having
some difficulties with occasional helium leaks and thrust to malfunction,
so says NASA's administrator Bill Nelson.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
NASA has decided that Butch and Sunny will return with
Crew nine next February.

Speaker 19 (23:41):
So the Crew nine mission still is being finalized, and
it will be launched no sooner than September the twenty fourth. However,
since a room must be made for Butch, Wilmore and
Sonny Williams to fly home, they will have to bump
two of the originally scheduled astronauts four of them so
they have the sphere seats. That will cost them tens
of millions of dollars to make this change. Meantime, one

(24:03):
other little thing just caught my attention. When NASA decided
that Boeing and Elon Musk SpaceX should compete for commercial
space shots. They gave these commercial outlets a bit of
flexibility in designing things, and that means that the space
suits for astronauts flying with Boeing are not the same
as the Elon Musk space suits. They have different designs

(24:24):
and different plugs. So this kind of reminds me of
the USB versus USBC controversy. For home electronic folks, they
need to wear spacesuits on the return trip because without them,
you know, if there's an emergency, they could be in jeopardy.
Now there is one spare space suit on the space
station Elon style, but they will need to send up

(24:45):
another Elon Musk version suit on the coming September flight.
Either that or I don't know, they might fly up
a couple of dongles.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
Jeez, all right. See on Wednesday, Richard Arnold stateside for
you this morning, Mike, I reckon, if you interviewed Harris
just once, you'd expose it for what years are doing.
Times too, even the beast finish so that even they're
running on vibes. And if you watch the speech, it's
a brilliant speech. The conventions all about you know, jazzing
the party up and stuff like that. But they're running
on vibes. Even the BBC over the weekend look it
up light on policy. And when the BBC says that,

(25:15):
you know, well she is light on policy. Canadians are
very pleased to tell you got involved in this rail strike.
Not that we've got a lot of coverage of it
in this particular country. But anyway, the two major players
were literally going to union driven. Of course, one was
called c N, which is the National Railway and the
others the Canadian Pacific Kansas City CP case. Anyway, they
were all on strike nine and a half thousand workers.

(25:36):
They were going to grind Canada to a halt, and
that was going to affect the American economy because a
lot of stuff goes across the border from Canada to
the United States. And the federal government got involved and
said there is no way that this is going to happen,
ordered them back to work, which is good ten minutes
away from seven.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
The costle breakfast with the real estate news.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
Talks speaking of the union. So they tried to buckle.
Canada wasn't going to have it. But the Australian over
the week in fact, on Friday, the government moved against
the CFMEU, which has been going I mean their crooks
and has been going on for ages and there's a
link between them and the Labor Party slash Labor Government,
and so basically they blew the union up, put it
into administration, sacked hundreds of people and have basically taken

(26:18):
it over. So a major move from the Australian government
because it just got so embarrassing. Back anyway, more with
Steve later on this morning back home. These retail numbers
continue to look anemic. Last three months we spending money, No,
we're not. Spending's down one point two percent for the
June quarter. Now that is the eighth consecutive quarter to
see a drop, So when you do quarters eight quarters,
that's two years, two solid years of drop in spending.

(26:41):
Eleven of the fifteen industries had lower sales. Motors as
in cars, parts, food, beverage, electronics down the most at
six percent. That's dreadful, supermarkets, pharmaceuticals. Other store based retailing
was up a little bit, so we'll take that Regionally,
Fourteen of the sixteen regions are down. Fourteen of the
sixty sales per person are down. One and a half

(27:02):
percent of the June quarter. That's the tenth consecutive quarter
in decline. So even if you start to see some
light at the end of the tunnel, I was looking
at some housing over the weekend and you're seeing some
more people at open homes. You're seeing some good numbers
at open home. So if you're starting to see that
little that little is it is?

Speaker 16 (27:18):
It is?

Speaker 2 (27:18):
It is it maybe? But jeez, the numbers and they
are retrospective, but the numbers tell a fairy ugly story.
Speaking of which five minutes away from seven, well, the.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
Ins and the outs.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
It's the fiz with business Faber, take your business productivity
to the next level.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
Yeah, the jobs Marke has still got a way to go.
I'm afraid to tell you word. This morning, latest cab
off the rank in the job cut market as spark.
So they release their results on Friday. Profits down a
lot to three hundred and sixteen million dollars, revenues down
a bit as well, shares it down seven percent to
finish at three ninety nine. So now you're looking at jobs.
What they plan to do is cut fifteen million dollars,

(27:57):
or about ten percent from the old labor budget. Now
what does that mean in terms of none what the
defensil you get rid of obviously what they were in
at the time, so they can't put the actual numbers
on it, but ten percent of your budgets ten percent
of your budget. This follows the other Telcoast One New
Zealand's had to go two degrees. They've gone through the
restructuring as well. Capital expenditure back at Spark's also going
to be cut from five hundred and thirteen million two
between four to sixty and four to eighty million in

(28:19):
the current financial year. So you can still see there
are plenty of jobs to be sliced. Unfortunately, mind you,
that's what the Reserve Bank wanted, isn't it a good
old Adrian? He needed a good old tight economy. And
they still say in excess of five percent unemployment. It's
currently at four point six, so if it goes past five,
some say still his highest five point five. So then
we come to fast track over the weekend. I'm not

(28:40):
sure what's actually happened here, whether this is smoke and
mirrors or whether or not they've actually done something. So
the fast track is if you've not followed it a
whole bunch of people apply and we'll talk to Chris
Bishop about this later on. Hundreds of people have applied
for projects. That's the other thing I don't understand how
many of these projects are the desperate got to do
them now versus the oh yeah, I'll have a crack
at those sort of projects. Anyway, they've got hundreds of

(29:01):
projects to work through. You send it off to an
expert panel.

Speaker 4 (29:04):
Now.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
They've always had an expert panel or series of expert
panels on any given project, at which point the expert
panel would go back to the minister and say we
think this is a goer, Minister, rip into it now.
The change was the minister previously had the right of
refusal or not, so, in other words, the panel could
come back and go this is a dog, don't touch
it with a barge pole. The minister, for reasons best

(29:26):
known to himself, goes, actually, I think we'll do that.
They had that power they no long to do because
that was the great concern from the environmentalists and stuff.
This was a big stitch up and the minister was
just going to do whatever the minister wanted to do.
My question was in now taking the power away from
the minister. Was a minister ever going to really override
an expert panel? So therefore, has anything really changed?

Speaker 22 (29:49):
Have a look at this shortly the Breakfast show You
Can Trust, the Mic Hosking Breakfast with Bailey's Real Estate,
your local experts across residential, commercial and vill news togs.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
Head be seven Pass seven is a big change, possibly
called it a back down from the government over their
fast tracked laws. Essentially ministers will no longer hit the
final sign off, It'll be left to an expert panel.
So what difference will this make? AUT's professor in school
the Future Environments, John tookies back. Well, there's John morning,
Good morning. Did you have a strong view on all
of this before the announcement yesterday?

Speaker 16 (30:22):
I suspected it was going to be an excessive investment
in political capital that might back away from and sure
enough that happened.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
So you saw the noise as being a major thing.

Speaker 16 (30:35):
I could certainly see when you start to get into
either igploring bypassing fast tracking whatever environmental legislation, it's quite
sensitive after including truly white tank issues as well, so
there's a lot to it.

Speaker 2 (30:53):
What about the expert panel though, because there was always
an expert panel. Whether the minister had the final sign
off or on, there was always an expert Do we
not trust them? Do we not trust them?

Speaker 16 (31:04):
Well? Government's successive governments like to have the opportunity to
be able to sign off on different projects that they
have particular aspirations to deliver on. I personally, I'd like
to get more properly and trained to be able to
make the decisions that allow us to deliver on the

(31:25):
types of projects that transcend single parliamentary sessions. We have
so much demand in this country for significant infrastructure and investment.
The money availability is only part of the deal. But
these deals take a long time to set up, they
require multi party coverage. They are going to transcend during

(31:46):
the delivery process potentially two three, four parliamentary sessions because
they are so massive and quite frankly government, no government
has really shown itself to be fully aligned to the
notion of the right thing for the maximumber of people
because they have short term political goals of getting in
next time around.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
Does the move announced yesterday solve anything?

Speaker 16 (32:11):
It somewhat kicks the can down the road a little bit,
you know, in order to be able to make a difference.
The current government are going to have to be able
to extend their stay, get another session in and so on,
and you know they if they turn on too many
toes between now and you know two years, hence they
are going to struggle to get reelected.

Speaker 18 (32:32):
Right.

Speaker 16 (32:33):
So it's yeah, it's it's pretty much kicking the can
down the road, the business as usual.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
They've read the room all right, John appreciated very much,
John Tucky, the minister, Chris Bishop. But I'm not sure
that Shane Jones was in his finest moment yesterday saying
there's a big difference between a campaigning politician and a
minister in cabinet, which is basically turned amount to saying, look,
that doesn't really matter what we say on the campaign trial,
none of it's going to turn out to be true anyway.
Ten minutes past seven ki puship with us aufter seven

(32:58):
thirty right. Changes to emergency housing take effect from today,
So if you're there for more than a week, you
will be required to do a number of things, talk
to support services, pay the emergency contribution on time, and
make an effort to move out.

Speaker 18 (33:11):
Now.

Speaker 2 (33:11):
The former Wealthare Expert Advisory Group member Pillow Riley's with
us on this film. Morning to you, Morning, Mikeel. That's
hardly onerous, is it. I mean, make a bit of
an effort as what they're saying.

Speaker 12 (33:20):
Well, really, what the government's trying to say is emergency
housing is the stab. It's an emergency, and I've seen
a lot of the people saying, oh, this is dreadful,
and you'll see an increase in homelessness and issue. I
suspect Mosch you might in the early days as people
get used to this new system, but they're looking at
it over the last few weeks. You've got to say,
you know, emergency should just be that if have you
covered every other option available to you? Can you stay

(33:42):
with family, can you stay with friends? Is this really
just a temporary matter as this long term and so on?
So on that context, I think the policy is there's
a sensible one, but to world or have a lot
of the people who will a lot of the usual suspects,
I feel like out of the other side really having
a go at it, did we ever get.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
To the bottom of how many people in an emergency
housing are genuinely Therefore, emergencies for a short term solve
a problem versus people who just will be anywhere and
they'll just milk it off the state for as long
as they can.

Speaker 12 (34:09):
You'll never know, Mike. I mean, the fact is that
you saw an explosion in this emergency hausing and really
some quite tragedy tragic outcomes. Of course, kids living in
motels for quite a long period of time, and that's
just not good. Good in in fact, I see the
government's going to emphasize children. They're going to go to
the front of the queue families for children and the
front of the que for emergency housing. But we just
will never know the nature of the approach because what

(34:31):
we were increasingly seeing was that emergency wasn't necessarily an emergency.
Now that doesn't mean they don't ever need, but the
question was it an emergency need? And the last government
like that thing, was interested in finding those numbers and
publishing them. So it's going to be a mystery.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
Speaking which potuck in last week. So there's a thirty three,
thirty four percent reduction of people in emergency housing, they're
claiming a victory. People then go, well, where are they gone?
Is it the government's job to know where they've gone
or not?

Speaker 12 (34:57):
Do you think no, Well, No, it's not what they
while be staying with friends, and they may all be
staying with family. They may well have made other arrangements.
Now that doesn't necessarily mean that you won't have some
terrible circumstances going on over the other the government's not
aware of. But at the end of the day, the
welfare system and the government's not about trying to find
out where every person is. It's just trying to say,
when you present to us, do you have a real need?

(35:19):
Is it an emergency need? And therefore what will we
do about that? And can we ensure that it really
is an emergency so that there will be a balance
here to be drawn between making sure that you really
are treated well in an emergency, but that you're not
milking the system, and that there's always going to be
some losers out of that much. There's going to be
some tragic stories not out that we're going to hear.

(35:39):
But I think the government's on the right track here
about saying emergency should be about emergency always.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
Pleasure fell appreciate it. You have a good week to
fill o Riley form a Welfare Expert Advisory Group member
with us this morning thirteen minutes past seven, passing all
the other stories of the weekend. And it might be
my ignorance here, but let me give it to you.
So there was an open day, if you like, a
job day organized by Health Dack for nurses, unemployed nurses
looking for work. And did they turn up? My god,

(36:07):
did they turn up? Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of them.
Line snaked along the corridor, up the steers long before
the thing they even opened at ten o'clock, opened at
ten o'clock. Why does something the open at ten o'clock
on the weekend? Why are they waiting till ten o'clock?
For God's sake? Anyway, sheer numbers reflect they're all immigrants
nurses in this country? Who are immigrants? Now here are

(36:28):
my questions? Why do we have so many immigrants in
this country who are unemployed? How do you get into
this country and be unemployed? Now here's what I think
the answer is. I think the answer is that when
you go to apply for a visa to come to
the country, they look at and go what are you?
And you say, well, I'm a nurse, and they go, poh,
we need a lot of nurses. Come on. And so
you arrive but then you can't get a job because

(36:49):
no one's hiring. That's what they've found out over the weekend,
these people from Australia, the US, the UK, Ireland, Singapore
and Canada. And the problem with it is the second part.
You come to the country as a qualified nurse, but
then you've got to requalify New Zealand nurse. I've always
found that to be deeply suspicious, and I suspect union
driven myself. But nevertheless, what we have clearly in this
country is hundreds upon hundreds of unemployed nurses. Meantime, the

(37:10):
Australians are sitting there going, oh, you don't care, find
a job in New Zealand. Don't worry about it. Plenty
of jobs in Australia, and so they all wander off
to Australia. So there's something not right here. One we
need nurses. Two, we're not hiring the nurses we need.
Three we're letting people into the country under the auspices
that we need something that we're not actually solving the
problem with. It's too weird. Something's broken here. Fourteen past seven, The.

Speaker 2 (37:40):
Chris Bishop after seven thirty this morning, the lads after
writing the commentary box seventeen past seven. Good news around
climate turns out as it gets warmer, we may well
be able to grow different types of fruits, things like
bananas might well boom in this country. Demands increasing nationwide,
apparently for sun loving plants.

Speaker 16 (37:54):
Now.

Speaker 2 (37:54):
Aaron McCloy is from far North Tropicals and it's with us.
Aaron morning, Yeah, good morning.

Speaker 8 (38:01):
How are you today?

Speaker 19 (38:01):
Very well?

Speaker 2 (38:01):
Indeed, I was thinking about this yesterday I was leaving
the country up north. It was twenty degrees at my
place yesterday, twenty in August. It's ridiculous. Are we getting
there in terms of temperature? Has it changed or is
it still changing?

Speaker 8 (38:14):
Oh that's one hundred thousand dollars million dollar question, isn't it.
But I think what people are noticing is that a
lot of people getting less frost or no frosts where
they used to get frosts, and that makes a massive
difference if they want to grow tropical plants.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
Do we want to grow? Do we want to do
it because we can and go look at that? How
cool is it? I've got a banana? Or do we
do it because there's genuine demand and we can save
ourselves a few food miles.

Speaker 8 (38:39):
Well, I think that's two questions. The first is I'm like,
there's a banana fruiting on Oriental Pride in Wellington last year.
The other thing is there's people in the backyards. Can go, okay,
this is cool. I'm a gardener. I can now grow
pineapples pretty much over a great whack of the country

(39:00):
if you want to go for red pineapples. And that's
just the cool factor. The other thing is, especially up
in Northland, you can go, I can put it in
a hectare of bananas, you know, and then make it
an actual commercial venture. So and it's successful.

Speaker 2 (39:16):
So are you getting more per hector on bananas than
you would be, say, sheep, dairy, beef, whatever.

Speaker 8 (39:21):
Oh, for sure. We did some banana workshops. We had
some beef farmers come along and they're telling us get
in about fifteen hundred per hectare for dry stock, and
at three or four bananas per per sorry, bananas at
three three meters apart, you can get them up to
about fifty five sixty k per hectare.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
And that's and that's reliable or highly speculative.

Speaker 8 (39:48):
No, No, that's basically we work it off ten kg bunches,
whereas the bunches are usually fifteen to twenty five kgs.
So we've trying of it right down to the very
minimums of what you might be getting. And we haven't
evenfected them too. If you're going to start selling the flowers,
the leaves, the honey or the stems on top of selling.

Speaker 2 (40:09):
The bganas, so there's lots of potential the interesting insight Aeron,
well done, appreciate you time very much. Aaron McCloy, who's
far north. Tropicals are the times they are at changing,
it's going to I was reading a piece over the
weekend some of the orchard at not Orchards, vineyards in France, Germany,
et cetera, with the tough summers they're having there having
to think long and hard about where they go in
the future. Now I need to wrap up the local

(40:30):
government business that was ending last Friday in just a
couple of moments.

Speaker 1 (40:33):
Seven the Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio
powered by News Talks AB.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
Question, do you need to support with healthy joints, energy
levels and good sleep? Of course you do then Lester's

the phone eight hundred triple nine three oh nine, Tasking
seven twenty four. I don't know if they actually got
around to it.

Speaker 18 (41:45):
In the end.

Speaker 2 (41:46):
But at the local body meeting last week there was
a remit the vote on mari wards and what to
do about them now that the governments change the law,
the problem being they couldn't do anything about them, of
course because the government governments changed the law. The laws
the law. But in the remit was everything that's wrong
of course with local government. They waste time. What's the
point of a debate and a vote on a thing
you can't change. It's probably why the Prime Minister's message

(42:08):
about waste didn't go down that well. They didn't get it.
Worst of ball, they don't want to get it. The
idea of basics is beyond them because once you move
beyond basics, you enter into the world of the fifdom,
and a lot of them are driven of course by
power or perceived power and influence. The concept of rubbish
and Burm's illness boring. Hence, councils have entered into the
world of many central governments, which is why the real

(42:28):
central government plans to cut deals around funding that is
a little short or brilliant, because one it solves local
issues by opening up the money tap, and two allows
Wellington to control the crazies in the region. The West
Coast Council, for example, for their cycle bridge. Now that
where surely is we all got sympathy. So if you
don't know the story, the bridge is closed because it's dangerous.
It's four million dollars to fix it. Four million dollars

(42:51):
is a four percent rate rise. The bridge links a
wider track for cycling. These cyclists don't pay rates, so
the council has no money. The tourists no longer come
for the sky and the coffee in the motel rooms.
That's not their fault, but it is their problem. So
that is how and why the government's idea of deals
is brilliant, because that's the sort of common sense that
can make genuine, tangible differences. And as I've said a

(43:12):
million times, the reason broadly councils are where they are
is because one know one votes and to those who
do vote, activists who support other activists and try hards
and do goods are not all obviously, but too often
we are over counseled and overrun with the ordinary and
the idea logs running those councils. That is why they're broke,
and everything is broke in if Wellington can solve some

(43:33):
money worries while also pulling some strings. We will potentially
all be better off pasking Micaus New Zealand train registered
nurse them many years. I can tell you the reason
the international nurses aren't getting jobs. Not the union, It's
the New Zealand Nursing Council. Well the councilor is a union,
the council union organization. It's people with rules that's the problem.
I suggest to go to the Nursing Council. I know

(43:53):
what the answer is. There's too many rules. You cannot
tell me that a trained nurse who's come from Australia
is so devoid of being able to operate in the
New Zealand health system and need to do something completely different.

Speaker 22 (44:03):
It's absurd.

Speaker 2 (44:04):
And there is clearly no link between ticking the box
at immigration for a visa on a job that is
much needed in this country and the people doing the
employing not employing. And this is where Lester Levy of
course comes in as Health Commissioner and he's busy pulling
his hair out. Isn't this, Mike, this is fast track?
Isn't this just good politics? Put a policy out for consultation,

(44:26):
listen to feedback and adjust accordingly while the government's still
getting what it wants. But unlike the last lot, these
guys are seen to be listening, good outcome. It shuts
down some of the naysays, Ah, you make a very
good point, and you're probably right. At the end of
the day. Chris Bishop is being consistent and he said, look,
you know, we're open to a bit of change. We'll
hear what you say, and if we like what you
say and think what you say has got some common

(44:47):
sense to it, we'll do something about it. So essentially
he's done exactly that. But to your point, does it
shut down the naysays no, because the sort of people
who hate this hate the government, and these are the
sort of people who want to hire lawyers and being
caught for the rest of their lives because of a
tunny far or a snail or a worm. And that's
why the highways don't get built. Nothing gets done on
this talk. So they're never going to be satisfied unless

(45:07):
you go back to the status quoe, which isn't going
to happen. Well, I hope it's not going to happen anyway.
Therefore mentioned Chris Bishop is what it's half of the news,
and then we'll do some sport for you with the
lads in the commentary box. Afterway here at News Talk zedby.

Speaker 3 (45:30):
Tom said, b I.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
Don't remember exactly when it was last week, but I
think it could have been. Actually this time last week
we had Lennox Goodhue Wicketeda on the program, who's the
seventeen year old entrepreneur out of Kaitaia College. He was
selling ice blocks on the grounds. The board of trustees
got hold of it and they went, he can't do that,
it's a bit profit. And the end they said, well
look it's a charity. He ended up paying himself. They
then banned it again and the whole thing got complicated,

(45:53):
so we had him on the program anyway. It turns
out they back down, which is good. And they also
the board went and employed I note, a media company
to send me an email this morning, and I read
I thought, that's unusual for a board of trustees to
employ a media organization, a PR company to send me
an email. And the unfortunate thing about the email. It's
just gobbllybook. It's a word seller, could have been written

(46:14):
by just Sindra, a Durnal, Karmela Harris. It just goes on.

Speaker 10 (46:19):
A AI generator.

Speaker 2 (46:20):
Maybe probably AI generator. I've got no idea. Just as
first and foremost we congratulate Linux on his achievements at
Kaitai College to date, but doesn't say anything about it
easily anyway. The point is he's allowed to get on
with doing his business at school, so that's All's well,
that ends well to quote Change Jones twenty two minutes
away from.

Speaker 3 (46:38):
Eight Slow.

Speaker 2 (46:43):
Box after Sport this weekend. Back to the big call
on Fast Track yesterday. See the expert panel, not the
minister that gets the sign off. Now we have applications
for almost four hundred projects, which I suppose is good
rama reform. Minister Chris Bishop is with us. Very good
morning to you.

Speaker 16 (47:00):
Good one.

Speaker 2 (47:01):
The back down itself as far as the final call
being for the minister that part of it, who was
it you heard from that made you go hmm, maybe
we overstepped the marqu here.

Speaker 23 (47:11):
Well, it's not any one particular submission. It was just
a broad scene coming through the Select Committee process was
that lot people said having three ministers so it rather
than just one as per the current RIMA. So just
go down to one minister and then when it comes
to the final sign off on these projects, the risk

(47:31):
of judicial review if you have the Minister making the
final call, which would actually bop things down in courts
and actually potentially be counter productive for what you're trying
to achieve. So just to do it the same way
Labour's fast trap law works, which has let the panel
make the final call. So we've eventually agreed with that.

Speaker 2 (47:47):
In reality, would a minister have overruled an expert panel anyway?

Speaker 23 (47:53):
Well, I mean we would never really know, will we.
I suppose the original version of the bill gave us
that power to do that as a bit of a stop.
In the end we decided it wasn't worth doing that,
and so we're recommending to the Select Committee to adopt
these changes. I think it will make the law more
acceptable and I also think it will make it cleaner
and more simpler to get protects done.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
So in the end, I see here's your text, morning, Mike.
Perhaps you could ask the Minister Bishop if he was
expecting twenty nine thousand submissions against fast Track. Perhaps the
risk to their political future, which is what they're warned
about when they first announced their version of fast track,
that has shaped their decision.

Speaker 23 (48:30):
You say, what, oh, well, the greatest of respect, I
think people want the fast Track law, and there's a
variety of polls shown that you're always going to get
a few people who disagree with it and disagree with
expediting development. But I just make this simple point to
people listening and to the people who wrote in. We
have the house and crisis, we have an infrastructure death,

(48:52):
we have an economic growth problem in this country, and
we have very ambitious climate goals, and we have an
energy shortage. There is not a single way, in a
lot of single hope in hell, we can address any
of those issues with our current planning law. That's why
fast Track exists. That's why three hundred and eighty four
applications have already applied to be in the fast Track
and most of them are housing projects, infrastructure projects, renewable

(49:16):
energy projects and primary industries projects. That's because people know
our current planning law is completely stuffed. We don't have
a hope of addressing our major economic challenges without planning reform.
That's why fast track exists. So we're charging on.

Speaker 2 (49:28):
Those three hundred and eighty four that you've got. How
many are they genuine? We need to get on and
we need to do these now projects versus people on
as will join the line.

Speaker 23 (49:39):
Well, we're working our way through that list, so I
can't be too specific with you, but what I would
say generally is that there are a lot of projects
there that you know, a good solid economic development projects
and address all the things that I've talked about. So
there's a lot of housing and urven development projects. There's
a lot of renewable energy projects, there's a lot of

(50:02):
infrastructure projects. More broadly, there's a few minds on the list,
and there's some quarries. By the way, we need quarries
in this country. Not have enough quarries. So we're working
away through the list. We've had an independent advisory group
give us some advice on that list, and when we're
ready to make ANNOUNCEMCE about it, we'll do that.

Speaker 2 (50:20):
How fast track is it? So if I applied today,
I'm one of the three hundred and eighty four, when
do I get the go ahead or not? Versus when
I would have got the go ahead or not under
the old system.

Speaker 23 (50:32):
So if you're included in the legislation that is soon
to come back from committee, that will be law by
the end of the year. We'll get those expert panels
stood up probably in the new year realistically, and those
projects listed in the bill will automatically go off and
it will be a matter of months before those projects
are approved if you're in the initial tranche.

Speaker 2 (50:51):
Okay, Now, I don't know if you know anything about this,
but you're the most senior operator in the government I've
got on this morning. Answer me this question. I'm looking
over the weekend. There's hundreds of nurse who have come
in from overseas going to a job spare in Auckland.

Speaker 18 (51:03):
Right.

Speaker 2 (51:04):
They can't get work for love nor money. Why are
we letting people into the country who can't get jobs
for love or money? Why when we take a viserv
to come in as a nurse because we need nurses,
aren't people getting employed as nurses?

Speaker 16 (51:15):
Do you know?

Speaker 23 (51:17):
Well, that's a good question. They'll be probably end up
being a disconnect between their way the immigration system works
and the way the health system works. Well, that's a
good question. I'm sure you have Shane ready on to
talk about that, or Eric Stafford on in due course.
Not in my Bellywick, Mic, I know quite a few
things were.

Speaker 18 (51:37):
Not there one.

Speaker 2 (51:37):
Okay, good on you. I appreciate your honesty, Chris Bishop
and Lucky I was right. So at least I've got
Shane Retti's in the Pacific Islands at the moment as
the Indigenous People's Minister, by the way Australia is taking
to that Pacific Island Forum. What I regard to be
almost a brilliant idea that once again has not been
covered in this country in any way, shape or form.

(51:59):
More shortly ten minutes away from mate Pscy Mike. As
an RC employer, we have we have to engage with MSD.
They have not delivered a single worker to us after
listening seventy plus vacancies over three years, and yet will
not support our RC application because they say they believe
that there are enough New Zealand staff to fill our jobs.
Now you haven't told me what sort of industry are

(52:19):
you and you and vitic culture what are you in?
Because it was announced the other day that they're changing
the RC to the extent that they're allowing more RC
workers into the country, so hopefully that will then solve
your problem.

Speaker 1 (52:30):
Sixteen two good the Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast
on iHeartRadio powered by News Talks It be.

Speaker 2 (52:38):
Tell me why this story hasn't been all over the place.
So Kirsty Alsop, who we all know in this country
from location, location location, if you know a bit about her,
she is a she is a libertarian type person. She's
anti woke. She's into you making up your own minds,
doing your own things, says, and she gets herself a
little bit of coverage in Britain from that view. Anyway,

(53:00):
she lets her fifteen year old kid wander around Europe
over the summer period. Kid's idea. So son comes up
and goes, listen, can I do this? And she goes,
why not? Goes with a sixteen year old friend. He's fifteen,
friend of sixteen, so they visit Paris rail They do
it by rail, Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Berlin, Munich, Marseille, to

(53:20):
loose Barcelona in Madrid and decided to allow him to
go because society is quote unquote increasingly risk averse and
children needed to develop the confidence that only comes from
trusting them. What an excellent line. My son is capable.
It was his idea, it was his plan, it was

(53:40):
his savings. He came to me and said can I
do this? And I saw no reason for saying no.
Now I this is what makes the story so interesting.
You put yourself, as a parent in exactly the same position.
If your fifteen year old came to you and said,
how about it? What would you do? And my aunt's
would be obviously, the first thing is what sort of

(54:00):
fifteen year old are they? Because there are fifteen year
olds and there are fifteen year olds, you'd need to
be a pretty cool fifteen year old to have the
confidence and the kid to be able to do it.
She does good honor and guess why she can do
that because she's the parent. She's in charge. If you
followed this morning's news, the authorities have come calling, of course,
and knocked on the door, and they're not particularly happy.
In fact, she's profoundly shocked. The Kensington and Chelsea Council

(54:23):
informed her that the matter had been referred to Social services.
So her parenting is now being called into question by
who the Kensington and Chelsea Council. So ask yourself the question,
what would you do if you had a mature, sensible,
intelligent fifteen year old and they came to you and said,

(54:43):
these school holidays coming up in September, I wouldn't mind
jumping on the inter island or I mean they wouldn't
go very far if they were on the Endore Islander,
of course, wouldn't get anywhere. But you know, in places
where the public transport.

Speaker 10 (54:54):
Works, terrible, terrible, exactly exactly.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
They were they joven a bus actually hold on now
wouldn't work.

Speaker 10 (55:00):
Either, see the north over the brint do Wait a.

Speaker 2 (55:03):
Minute, I would say, so if your fifteen year old
comes to you and once ago anywhere in New Zealand,
don't worry about it because they're not going to get
pretty far. But in countries where transport works, what would
you do? And would you and how affronted would you
be if the council came calling?

Speaker 10 (55:19):
Well surely most people. I mean like if it happened
to me, my kid came to me and said you're
off so bar bye. Yeah, they wouldn't even get the proposal.

Speaker 13 (55:28):
They say, look, I was just wondering if I could go,
and as soon as they got as far as go
I'd say, yep, go it's amazing.

Speaker 10 (55:34):
Write your chick.

Speaker 2 (55:35):
Whose side are you on? Ten minutes away from.

Speaker 1 (55:37):
Eight the Mike Hosking breakfast with Vida Retirement Community News togs.

Speaker 2 (55:43):
He'd been at fifteen. My parents let me in and
make go on the overnight train from Wellington to Auckland
so we could go to Paul McCartney at Western Springs.
We stayed in the motel by ourselves, got ourselves to
and from and back to Wellington four days later on
harm There you go. Seven away from eight. Jeremy Clarkson's
bar opened over the weekend. The q was four hours long.
Apparently Holly James camped outside. It's called the Farmer's Dog,

(56:03):
the pub the Farm's Dog and anyway, Holly James as
well as Holly morning to you, good morning. I was
looking at some video over the weekend of the place
looks beautiful. Is it beautiful in person?

Speaker 7 (56:14):
Oh?

Speaker 24 (56:14):
Definitely, And we had a really sunny, nice day to
overlook all the fields surrounding as well.

Speaker 2 (56:18):
Fantastic And you cueued for how long?

Speaker 24 (56:23):
Well we was there from opening at seven point thirty
in the morning and the pub opened at twelve, so
you were.

Speaker 2 (56:29):
Wait, and what did you do when you get inside?
Did you drink and eat?

Speaker 24 (56:33):
So I personally was just a drinker, which meant we
got the first pinte pourd at the pub as everyone
in front of the queue was diners.

Speaker 2 (56:41):
No way.

Speaker 24 (56:43):
Yeah, it was a milestone for yourself. We may not
get a trophy for it, but it was great to
see the first pipe poord.

Speaker 2 (56:49):
So you've got it for posterity. What did you order,
by the way, and how much did it cost?

Speaker 21 (56:55):
So?

Speaker 24 (56:55):
I had the Hawkstone just regular lager, which was six pound,
I believe. I believe they all sit about the same price,
each brand of the Hawkstones.

Speaker 2 (57:07):
So is it all Hawkstone which is his beer?

Speaker 12 (57:09):
Of course?

Speaker 2 (57:09):
Is it all Hawkstone beer? Or can other breweries are involved?

Speaker 24 (57:14):
I believe the whole draft tabs are all Hawkstone. I'm
not sure what he has behind the bar, but he
does have quite a right variety with Hawkstone.

Speaker 2 (57:22):
And from looking at the video as well, they were
all there, Jeremy and Lisa and Jerald. They were all there, right,
Yes they were. Did you meet and talk with them?

Speaker 24 (57:33):
Yes, it was just Jeremy and Lisa. I missed out
on As you can imagine, the crowds that surrounded him,
and I didn't want to add to that overwhelmingness.

Speaker 18 (57:40):
No, So, so.

Speaker 2 (57:42):
You didn't sample the food. Did the people you were
with sample any of the food?

Speaker 17 (57:47):
No?

Speaker 24 (57:47):
So we had food from the Farmer's Puppy, the little
food shock outside rather than the actual restaurant, as we
knew majority of people were going there to dine in.

Speaker 2 (57:57):
So there's the Farmer's Dog, which is the pub, the
Farmer's Puppy which is the shech which is different to
have you been to his original or Blissa's original shop.

Speaker 24 (58:08):
We went there on the same day.

Speaker 2 (58:10):
So you did the whole thing. Are you a local
or did you come in from outside?

Speaker 24 (58:14):
We came in from outside.

Speaker 2 (58:16):
What do you make of it? All the whole area
and the noise and the fans and what's happened and
what he's done for the region.

Speaker 24 (58:25):
Well, Clarkson has done wonders for the farming industry and
that's why we drove to go and support him for that.
And everyone was concerned about the traffic with the opening
of the pub. However, he had really control systems. He
had people guiding and directing drivers. He had a massive
overflow car park in case you can't park near the
cup the pub, and it was Diddley Squatt still has

(58:49):
a lot of parking on the road, but he's made
sure to listen to the locals with the pub and
regarding parking in traffic.

Speaker 2 (58:56):
Fantastic, Holly. I'm glad you had a good day and
it was well worth you while and appreciate your insight
very much, Holly. James, who's with us from Britain six
pounds for a hawk stay. One of the people here
brought me back a bottle of the Hawkstone lager when
they went to Britain last year, and it's sitting in
my fridge and there's only one bottle, and that's my problem.
You know what my problem is, don't you, Because once
it's gone, there is no more and so beer doesn't

(59:17):
keep that's the that's the second problem.

Speaker 10 (59:19):
That's completely ruined.

Speaker 2 (59:20):
Now now, no, I don't think it is ruined, but
it's on the burge. In fact, the only beer in
my fridge at the moment. I got three different brands
of beer in my fridge at the moment. All of
them are expired, so I don't know really what to
do about that. But anyway, that's a problem. For another day.
Use in a couple of moments, then we'll get into
the business of sport with Andrew Sable and Guy Helton.
The celebrate apart from me, went from Lydia Coe earlier this.

Speaker 1 (59:41):
Morning, your trusted source for news and fuse the mic
Hosking breakfast with the range Rover Villa designed to intrigue
and use togs d Bens.

Speaker 3 (59:58):
It's in the store rom Neuron.

Speaker 25 (01:00:00):
Car and it's all smiles in that bulldogs can't deservedly
running our winners with a really good second half performance.

Speaker 26 (01:00:07):
Final score here thirty four to eighteen Duran Philly Shield
is safe for another couple of weeks. In Nagpie's territory.

Speaker 11 (01:00:18):
Has been a dominant display forty eight points to three.

Speaker 26 (01:00:20):
The Cannbury win the game twenty seven twenty one.

Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
Tannik Amber and Black have won it five fifteen points
at Rugby Parking in for Cargo.

Speaker 19 (01:00:33):
It is Otago who have won this one thirty one
to twenty six Stevenson Tenson, Texon and the Touch.

Speaker 26 (01:00:40):
And Harbor win dar Co.

Speaker 21 (01:00:43):
It is with a major European summer. She is the
first ever winner from New Zealand of the AIG Women's Open.
She took the Smith Salva with Georgia Hall here in
twenty thirteen, She's taken it all. In twenty twenty four.

Speaker 3 (01:00:59):
The Morning Commentary barks on the Mike Husking breakfast.

Speaker 2 (01:01:03):
Have you noticed the lack of atmosphere of the women's
golf covies anyway? And guy have else with us along
with Andrew several morning fellers Morning Morning. You would have
liked that guy, the woman who I'd never heard of,
who could have tied it choked, choked, completely lipped out

(01:01:24):
on the bogie as well. But eight years between drinks
is a long time between drinks, isn't it?

Speaker 18 (01:01:30):
Eight and a half almost, Yeah, very long time between drinks.
It's been a remarkable year for Lydia co. Really, I
don't think you will get many times in golf history
where someone wins an Olympic gold medal and the British
Open ats and Andrews in the same year, in the
space of almost what two weeks. Really, it's an incredible

(01:01:53):
career resurgence because pretty much for the last eight years
it has been largely ruggle at times for Olivia Coat
to try and get back to these heights. She said.
Coaching changes she said, Caddy changes, she said, swing changes.
She's had everything, and I think it just shows well, yeah, partly,
but I just think it shows an incredible perseverance to

(01:02:15):
stick around and to get back to these heights. It's
an awesome thing to see.

Speaker 2 (01:02:20):
It's a cleasant but winning also, guy, winning leads to winning,
doesn't it. I remember when Michael Campbell won the US
and then after I can't remember that he kept well,
but when he did well, he was doing better in
the next few tournaments than he had ever done before.
It's that psychology, isn't it.

Speaker 18 (01:02:35):
Won the World Match Play that same year, on a
couple of other big tournaments that same year as well.
Two thousand and five, he had a remarkable season. And
the interesting thing about this and she has kept on
saying that she wants to retire at thirty. And you know,
even before this, I think she said she wanted to
win another major before she retired. Well, now she's done that,
you start to wonder. And even after the Olympics she

(01:02:55):
said that that will definitely be her last Olympics. So
I think it's fair to say we are in the
last couple of years of Lydia COO's career, and if
she can play like this, it's the last two or three,
how many years it might be, it's going to be
a pretty special time.

Speaker 2 (01:03:07):
It must be amazing to come up with that, sir,
mustn't it. You know, I was surprised when she said
the last Olympics. I thought, well, what does that mean?
Does that mean the last Olympics? So that's four years?
Does she play? But you know she's still I mean,
it's not like you can't play for for forever.

Speaker 9 (01:03:19):
I think she had as guy mentioned, she's always made
it clear she retire at thirty and maybe go back
to college or university.

Speaker 2 (01:03:26):
How boring.

Speaker 9 (01:03:28):
She's won a heck of a lot of money, and
she's she's she's got a lot of money from endorsements,
as you'd imagine as well. But I just think it's
quite quite remarkable that just a couple of weeks after
the Olympics, you think she'd still be in sort of
semi celebration mode, didn't you go on males, she goes
and I was a major, but not just a major.
It's it's and Andrew's outstanding.

Speaker 18 (01:03:46):
And on the retirement thing, on the retirement thing, and
on the university thing. You've got to remember she started
playing pretty much professional goal she.

Speaker 9 (01:03:55):
Was fourteen to fifteen.

Speaker 18 (01:03:56):
Yeah, she's barely had a life as a teenager or
a young twin something year olds, as it's been an
interesting little thing to watch. But she's been so bloody
successful that why wouldn't you make the most of that?

Speaker 2 (01:04:10):
Yea, yeah, no, that's fair enough. Although I do notice,
and you've got plenty of well known examples that once
you leave it behind, there's something there that you can
hang on. As cool as university might be, it's not
the same as, you know, traveling the world and winning
some prizes and being compared.

Speaker 9 (01:04:26):
If she keeps winning Mike, she she she may want
to carry on, she may want to start a family.
She let's not forget she's still only twenty seven. Yeah,
which is it's a baby engulfing to exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:04:39):
It's my point now, sad what went wrong with Razor
and Leon I said, not that it's the scandal of
the year. I mean, good on them for addressing it
and sorting that out, But you know them, they get
on well, they coach together well, and then all of
a sudden they don't.

Speaker 9 (01:04:52):
Or at least nobody came out and said it was
for personal reasons or to spend more time with the
family which we normally get fed. I have heard they
have had a number of different opinions. The one that
the the straw that broke the camel's back was around
Mark to Leah and the way Scott Robertson wanted him
to play, in the way Leon McDonald wanted them to play,
having coached him extensively at the Blue So I think

(01:05:16):
that was the breaking point. Yes, they have coached together,
but they haven't had a long coaching tenure together. Leon
McDonald won't struggle to pick up work if he's allowed
to work, I'd imagine he has some strain of trade
in his claws.

Speaker 2 (01:05:34):
Have you been on gardening leave before in your lives?

Speaker 21 (01:05:37):
No?

Speaker 9 (01:05:37):
No, you would have been.

Speaker 2 (01:05:39):
No I haven't. But I just wonder that muscle. Is
that a great time for you if you are Leon
McDonald at the moment, you've got a restrained trade. Because
I think he's got a two year contract, so I
mean that's got one matter.

Speaker 9 (01:05:50):
It was a four year contract.

Speaker 2 (01:05:52):
What so he's got three years and nine months or
whatever to go.

Speaker 9 (01:05:56):
And if and if he was an inverted Commas. Then
I would imagine he'd get a hipty payout.

Speaker 2 (01:06:02):
Oh, you'd have to pay the contract out. I mean,
a contract's a contract. You have to once you've got
a contract, if you're leaving early, whatever the situation is,
you get paid that contract. So he's got three years,
nine months worth of pay What do you do to
enjoy it? Or do you get bored?

Speaker 9 (01:06:14):
Or do you maybe over I don't think he'd enjoy
not coaching. No, as I say, I don't k know
if there's a restraint of trade in there, but I
would imagine he's reasonably close and has worked well with
Joe Schmidt. Maybe the Wallabies come calling, an overseas team
would come calling, no matter what.

Speaker 27 (01:06:32):
I think.

Speaker 2 (01:06:32):
Very interesting. More in a moment, Andrew Sevil Guy have
Eld thirteen passed.

Speaker 1 (01:06:36):
The Mike Husking Breakfast full Show podcast on I heard
Radio p it By News Talk.

Speaker 2 (01:06:41):
Hippy News Talks at Me sixteen past eight, The Monday.

Speaker 3 (01:06:45):
Morning commentary barks on the Mike Husking Breakfast.

Speaker 2 (01:06:48):
Guy Eld Andrew Sebral Guy wasn't the Shawn Johnson thing
On Friday? Weird pouring with rain got thrashed sort.

Speaker 27 (01:06:55):
Of like.

Speaker 18 (01:06:57):
I've got to be honest, if you might where I
was having a few wise delabratory drinks. I suppose, yeah, exactly,
So I didn't actually see a lot of it. I
thought I've seen some little snippets of it on social
media and stuff, and you're right, like in the pouring rain,
and after he was asking things like that, I was
kind of reflecting on my question last week will he

(01:07:19):
be missed? And I think I've kind of changed. I
think he will be And I think Friday Night showed
that pouring down with Ray the Warriors lose and a
bunch of fans stick it out to give him that
he could ascend off.

Speaker 21 (01:07:33):
It was.

Speaker 18 (01:07:34):
It was weird, but it was It's pretty special for
a play like that.

Speaker 2 (01:07:37):
Did you see it, Andrew or were you drunk as well?

Speaker 28 (01:07:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (01:07:40):
No, No, I saw. I saw bits and pieces. I
wasn't actually invited to guys fair. Wow, I just get
crashed it lucky. No, I saw, I saw snippets and
and I think unfortunately, it summed up the Warriors year.
It summed up the Warriors for the last twenty years,
and that it's all in front of them, packed house,

(01:08:00):
chance to senend Sean Johnson off from from his home stadium,
you know, his last home game, and it all fell apart,
which is very unfortunate but again sums up the inconsistencies
of this team and Shawn Johnson himself.

Speaker 2 (01:08:14):
Mate exactly. Hey, listen to you up on the Liam
Lawson News this morning, you guys and f one.

Speaker 16 (01:08:20):
What is it now?

Speaker 23 (01:08:21):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:08:22):
So here's here's the deal and this is this isn't news.
This is just me piecing some things together. Liam might
well end up in a Williams car by the end
of the week.

Speaker 25 (01:08:33):
Williams correct, So Logan sergeant, Logan sergeant smacked his car
so badly that he misqualifying and they're sick of them,
and so not only the moving them on at the
end of the year, they're probably going to move them
on this week because they can't afford the damages causing
the car because he can't keep the thing on the track.

Speaker 2 (01:08:49):
So if you move them on, where do you go?
Do you go to Antonelli? Well, Antonelli's already in the
Mercedes this weekend for a practice because he's probably going
to be announced to replace Lewis Hamilton. You could go
to Schumacher, or you could go to Liam, because the
scrap between Christian Horner and Helmet Marco has gone public
in the sense that Marco said last week he's got

(01:09:09):
a seat in the RB. Horner said, no, he doesn't.
He's got a seat. We might rent him out. So
there's that seat and so he can be next year
racing with Carlos sides.

Speaker 18 (01:09:24):
If you're Liam Lawson, do you want to take up
an opportunity with Williams with the with the hope still
that will have a choice Poul wants you to be driving.

Speaker 2 (01:09:36):
They would lean him out for the rest of the
season with a view. But I mean if if RB,
if RB, say Christian Horner gets his way and he
wants to hold on to Ricardo and pro won't he Yeah,
I can't work out what is I mean?

Speaker 18 (01:09:48):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:09:49):
I just can't work out why that what they see
in Riccardo. He's not a winner, he's not a champion.
If you replaced him for Perez, you don't gain anything.
I just don't understand any of it.

Speaker 12 (01:09:57):
But be that is.

Speaker 9 (01:09:59):
Unfortunately Liam Lawsons of Meat and the Sundars between these
two right, I was always told that the decision had
to be made by.

Speaker 2 (01:10:05):
September yeah, yeah, they do. And that's I think that's
what Helmet Marker was doing last week. He was saying
RB seat to put the pressure on Horner and the
others to pull the trigger and and what's his face?
Horner's come back and go no. So that's where the
scrap is. The scrapper is between Perez and Ricarda. Anyway,
upshot is chances are by the time we get to
mons of this coming weekend in Italy, it's possible that

(01:10:28):
Williams will need a new driver, and it might not
be permanent, might be just for the rest of the season.
But if he gets a seat for the rest of
the season, you take that all day long, wouldn't you?

Speaker 9 (01:10:35):
Yes, you would.

Speaker 2 (01:10:36):
I mean if you're just wandering around the world like
he does at the moment, literally watching racism, after a
while he must be, you.

Speaker 18 (01:10:42):
Know, I mean, Christian Horner's job must be on the line,
the way Red Bull's going.

Speaker 2 (01:10:49):
If they don't if they don't win the Constructors, if
they lose the Constructors, I would imagine that Christian horn
is going to be under some.

Speaker 18 (01:10:58):
And it's now down to thirty points between McLaren and
Red Bolts, and that's.

Speaker 2 (01:11:02):
Where Perez is not delivering for the other two and
the McLaren guys are delivering. And that's what makes it
so exciting. Guy, you're starting a new Are you already
at the office for your new job?

Speaker 18 (01:11:11):
I'm not actually believe it or not.

Speaker 9 (01:11:13):
This is my day off.

Speaker 18 (01:11:14):

Called the mic costing breakfast with the range Rover of
the line US talk.

Speaker 2 (01:11:36):
Now, you might have heard people talking lately about DVS,
the DVS difference and what you think, Well, what's all
that about? Well, the truth is that the DVS difference
is a whole bunch of things. It's continuous ventilation and
that's in every room of your home. Filtered fresh hair
in in the stale air out. It's a preventative measure
against mold, mildew and windows, crying condensation. Don't like any
of that. That's rubbish cantarnas. Your expensive carpets and curtains

(01:11:58):
and furnitures, so you're not into that. So it's being
able to enjoy a drier healthier home and all kinds
of weather and in all kinds of locations up and
down this beautiful country. So say yes to the people
who know the ventilation best, the DBS. They've been at
the top of the game for almost thirty years, so
they're the experts and they're trusted, and that is why
thousands of homeowners are already experiencing. Of course, the DBS difference,
you should too, And if you're planning a new build,

(01:12:19):
perfect per perfect DVS is a terrific solution there as well,
So talk to your builder about all of this. Where
do you go for the information DBS dot co dot
inz simple as that DVS dot co dot inz.

Speaker 10 (01:13:46):
It's not on Mondays. He won't.

Speaker 2 (01:13:47):
It's not exactly no breath of fresh air on a Monday, Mike.
What Liddy has achieved in a couple of you have
said this, and it's very good point. What Lyddy has
achieved with the Olympic gold and the Women's Open at
St Andrews begs the question read the Supreme Helberg. Of
course it does, and of course in Olympic years it
gets really interesting. If not Tens, I would give it
to Lydia. This is not made. This the text. I
would give it to Lydia over Dame Lisa. Eight rounds

(01:14:09):
of five hours against stiff competition wins it for me.
But don't get me wrong. What Dame Lisa achieved at
Paris awesome? See Gerald, what are you doing? A lot
of gold medals? Gold medal should be a prize, shouldn't it.
But when you go to supreme, does a major and
a gold beat just more golds? These are good questions,
aren't they? News for you? In a couple of moments,
then we'll get across the Tasman in Australia. How about Sydney.

Speaker 2 (01:14:54):
Lot of reaction to the Kirsty Alsops story. Fifteen year
old boys traveling together, Yep, not a problem. Fifteen year
old daughter traveling all know, not a hope in hell
from Murray. If I had a sensible fifteen year old,
Mike could be all for it. However, I had one
that's as dumb as a box of frogs. Mike. Sixty
years ago, when I was fourteen, friend and I caught
the furry depict and hitchhike to Nelson Lake's tramp through

(01:15:15):
Nelson Lakes for a week, hitchhike back to Picton, caught
the ferry home to Wellington.

Speaker 12 (01:15:19):
Mike.

Speaker 2 (01:15:20):
When I was fifteen, I went with my mate to Sweetwaters.
I bought three dozen bs for thirty dollars, kept out
of trouble. Would I let my fifteen year old do
the same? Not a hope in hell, Mike. Kirsty's side,
as you said, there are fifteen year olds, and they're
a fifteen year old. She knows her son. He's home
again and he's sixteen. What a load of all welly
and crap twenty two to.

Speaker 1 (01:15:38):
Nine international correspondence quid ends in Eye Insurance, Peace of
Mind for New Zealand business.

Speaker 2 (01:15:44):
In Australia's pointy Street price. Very good morning to you.

Speaker 17 (01:15:47):
Good there.

Speaker 2 (01:15:47):
So you get a lancer in a jaguar middle of
the intersection, you got a nuttle with a knife. What
the hell's going on there there?

Speaker 27 (01:15:53):
I know, and the way it was described as how
untitled with the two cars were ended each other. And
then it turns out that the bloke who was armed
with the knife was screaming about how his partner, the
female partner, had changed the radio on him. Now we're
going through, like many places, a huge batles country about
domestic violence issues. This is just another example of just

(01:16:17):
how people can lose their minds. And if it were
not for the very brave couple of bystanders, including one
connected to the Kanoa Sharks rugby league club, then that
woman would have been no longer. I mean, it was
just dreadful what happened. And the police officer got a
knife wound that stretched from his shoulder to his stomach,
and I think everyone was pretty shocked. I mean we're

(01:16:40):
still were covering really from what happened in Bonda Junction,
but this looks like it was a domestic violence issue.

Speaker 2 (01:16:45):
And having said that, he's also talking about the JAB
and we're all being followed and spired on. So he's
clearly a nutjob. Do we know what do you get
charged with for that? Because I mean, obviously you're not
can get charged with being a nutjob.

Speaker 27 (01:16:56):
I guess you'll be charged for serious assault offenses against
the female. That's what he could charged with.

Speaker 2 (01:17:01):
Sheeez. And then we come to the unions. This seemed
to me, I mean there's a big, bold move from
the government. I mean they had to do something, but
I mean, you know, taking over the union, tipping it
into administration's a major call.

Speaker 27 (01:17:13):
Yeah, and top being out two hundred and seventy executives
from the CFMAU from their construction arm, which probably surprises
everyone there were that many people on the executive roles,
but there were. The union boss John Setka spoke out
on the seven Network Spotlight program last night. Now, just
to take you back a fraction, you remember that the
original allegations of corruption involving Outlattle Motorcycle Gangs aired on

(01:17:35):
Channel nine sixty minutes and in the nine on newspapers.
So Sector's gone. Whether he is paid or not, I
don't know. To seven to tell his story, The guts
of it is that he believes that he had a
deal with the federal government through Industry Relations Minister Tony
Burke that if he quit then the union would not
be put into administration. Interestingly for me, Seca claims that

(01:17:59):
that deal was done in July, and he said in
this interview last night that on a Friday night at
twenty to six he was told the deal was done. Now,
the reason I raised that is I was on television
that night at six o'clock and at ten to six
we got tipped off the Sector was quitting. So that
sort of adds up that he might have had a

(01:18:20):
deal with the government. Anyway, the government's denying it. They
put in the administrators.

Speaker 12 (01:18:24):
I think.

Speaker 27 (01:18:24):
The interesting thing. Sector says he was once in a
lip of the Prime Minister Anthony alban Easy. He said
I didn't speak a word to him, that he was
shaking like a leaf. He was very scared of me. Well,
I'd be scared Sector too.

Speaker 2 (01:18:38):
And really, how does this politically with the government.

Speaker 27 (01:18:44):
It doesn't really interest that many people. I mean, we
all knew that the c if MEU construction arm was crooked.
We knew that there were bad deals being done to
make sure buildings got finished. We knew that they used
their industrial muscle to do whatever they wanted. And now
you've got an administrator in charge. Doesn't mean that we
think the government's tough on the union movement and that
they're going to take union donations for an election campaign

(01:19:08):
that we don't.

Speaker 2 (01:19:08):
Isn't it amazing?

Speaker 25 (01:19:09):
So nobody?

Speaker 2 (01:19:10):
Is it just a sort of entrenched that's been going
on for so long that the fact you've paid more
for that big tool building in Colin Street or wherever
than you should have because of crooks, that doesn't seem
to bother anyone.

Speaker 27 (01:19:22):
Price of doing business is what wow make to my
network in construction and own big construction companies tell me,
they say, we just have to if we want to
get a project done, that's what we've got to do.
We've got to deal with the union.

Speaker 2 (01:19:33):
Unreal this Northern Territory election, it was, it was a thrashing.
Would Elbow be a bit nervous about all of that?

Speaker 27 (01:19:41):
What he ever Country Liberal Party managed to absolutely route labor.
Labor's probably going to only be left with four or
five seats. Just to put it in context, eight years ago,
the Country Liberal Party only had two seats itself. So
they've now knocked off her the Labor leader even lawyer
or an owned seat that was a twenty percent swing
against her. The other in statistic voting is compulsories. You know,

(01:20:05):
in Australia with only fifty seven point six percent of
the territory and population even bothered to go out and vote.
The main issue crime the scenes you've seen from Alice
Springs in particular on the streets at night, also in
parts of Darwin House invasions, stealing of cars, people fired
up on grog and brawling in the streets. So the

(01:20:26):
Country Librale parties promised to fix that. Can they fix that?
I doubt it, but they say they will. You've now
got a liberal coalition government in place in one state
where labor rules the rest of the country. I think Anthony,
I would easy to be looking at this and thinking
we're in trouble.

Speaker 2 (01:20:42):
You, I reckon I might go. We'll see Wednesday. Appreciate
Steve Price out of Australia seventy Away from nine. Tasking
politicians could have up to eleven thousand dollars docked from
their pay this is in Australia, or be suspended from
parliament for bad behavior. This is a new workplace code
that they've got that they're looking to pass into introduced
by Labor last week, creates a body with the power

(01:21:03):
to investigate allegations of breaches of parliamentary standards. This is
after the Brittany Higgins thing. New laws aimed for the
first time to hold MP staff as another's working in
parliament to account. So we'll see where that goes and
what happens and whether it's effective. Seventeen too.

The Like Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered

Speaker 3 (01:21:22):
At b.

Speaker 2 (01:21:26):
Away from nine. I didn't realize a number of people
have been texting we haven't included the Hayden wild winning
in the sports news today. I mean Andrew has had
a bad day, hasn't he. What was the other thing
I was begging him about earlier on this morning?

Speaker 8 (01:21:37):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:21:38):
Yeah, the f one third place? So that's right, So
if one third place, he hasn't told us about Hayden
While anyway, so he won the race in Chicago. We'll
sit here in Boston. Actually it's in Boston, second race
of the season. He beat Basha and Vilaca. The guy
ye who beat him in Paris came eighth. So anyway,

(01:21:58):
they're heading to the next race, number three in London.
So that's encouraging. So good on him. By the way,
when I was fifteen, i left time. This's not made
this text, finished high school, working part time to buy
food taught me to get on with life. Forty years later,
enjoying my fifteen million dollar net worth and coaching the
next tech generation's night, Well.

Speaker 10 (01:22:14):
No, that's not even really a humble breg is it.

Speaker 26 (01:22:16):
It's bad.

Speaker 2 (01:22:18):
It's a fifty million dollar brag. I should be so lucky,
mum of fifteen, six and three year old. If I
had done a good enough job as a parent to
enable my kids to do what this fifteen year old done,
I'd feel like I'd won the lottery. I'd be given
the counsels some much needed advice on what kids need
social services support wise, very good point, Mike. It's good
to recognize the fact you've not been that good appearent. Mike,

(01:22:38):
our youngest son was fifteen when he declared he was
going on a motorbike around the South Island. His dad said,
no worries. I was horrified. I hated motorbikes and didn't
even think he would know how to find his way anyway.
Long story short, he went. He survived no cell phones
in those days. He did break down just before he
got back to christ Jurch and had to be picked
up on his bike or Withers bike. Today, he still

(01:22:59):
loves bike and he's a good rider. He's a little
kids riding as well. There you go cycle.

Speaker 10 (01:23:04):
It is about the training, isn't it.

Speaker 13 (01:23:05):
Because I mean when I see this story being reported,
there's a video of them swinging on a on a
long cable over a valley somewhere, and I thought, I thought, well,
you know, maybe I should should have swung my kids
on long cables over valleys a little bit more.

Speaker 10 (01:23:23):
Yeah, he was obviously prepared for that, wasn't he.

Speaker 2 (01:23:25):
I guess so, or he was crazy one or the other.
And that's the other thing. Did you say you could
go to Europe on a train but don't swing across
valleys or did you say go to Europe on a
train just do whatever? You want to have a good time.
See that's the interesting thing. By the way, Prime Minister tomorrow,
and the reason I'm interested in this is Elbanezy has
what I think is a bordering on genius plan for

(01:23:45):
the Pacific Forum leaders. It's a Pacific policing initiative. So
he's taking it to Tonga. It's going to cost hundreds
of millions of dollars. It's going to see a regional
training center established in Brisbane, Centers of law enforcement excellence
set up across the Pacific, new multinational police US units
the Tongu and Prime Minister apparently thinks it's fantastic. He's
going to give it his official endorsement at the Leader's Forum.

(01:24:07):
The Pacific Police Leaders met in Brisbane back in July
to discuss the initiative. So why is he doing this
and why I'm I telling you this? Well, the answer is,
of course, and do some reading on where ram book
has been lately. He's been to China, and half the
Pacific's been to China and they got a lot of
red carpet and the Chinese are very interested in the Pacific.
So Albaneze he's seen this and to his credit, and
I assume he's got New Zealand on board. I just

(01:24:28):
haven't heard anything about it here. To his credit, he's
going to organize a Pacific regional policing initiative which will
use surp and stymy presumably China's ambitions in that particular
sphere of influence. So that's good turn away from nine.

Speaker 3 (01:24:47):
The Mike, hosting Racist with Us Talk, said, where.

Speaker 2 (01:24:51):
We find ourselves at eight minutes away from nine, issuing
our first retraction and apology for the week. So we
got through the better part of the show before we've
had to do that. It's not bad. Andrew Orderson stormed in.
If storming is the right word for Andrew, I don't
think Andrew storms. But Andrew wandered in and claimed to
have covered the Hayden wild story at eight, So therefore,
so tick that particular box. Did he offer an excuse

(01:25:14):
on third place for that one? Didn't?

Speaker 18 (01:25:15):
Did he?

Speaker 10 (01:25:16):
I think it may have been. So you know how
I've had a few theories on this so far this morning.

Speaker 2 (01:25:20):
Yeah, well they were your ideas.

Speaker 13 (01:25:21):
Yes, what I reckon because given our recent medal tally
at the Olympics, how that rolled out and was mostly
gold and silver I'm just wondering if we just don't
really worry about.

Speaker 2 (01:25:32):
It's not that that was better than the ones she
came up with before. Mike, a close friend of mine
used to be involved in the processing of submissions to
Select committees, and she said often the majority were literally
identical word for word. It was quite clear that an
interested organization had been supplying pro forman submissions for their
members to put it. And this type of submission was
off in eighty percent of the plus of submissions. The
people behind it were then able to throw their hands
up and say, look, there are thousands of submissions. That's true.

(01:25:54):
That's an age old trick and it's one of the
many reasons why unfortunately, the whole Select Committee says it's
a complete nutter waste of time. And I strongly suspect
I won't call it a mistake yet, but the back
down from the government yesterday on the fast track and
the Minister thing, I just I mean, they can say
and fair enough, we listened, we've reacted. Here you go,

(01:26:15):
and that's politics. I get that, but I just don't
know they necessarily needed it. Does it feel like a well,
I think that's a kackr solution.

Speaker 10 (01:26:23):
Does it feel like a kick solution?

Speaker 2 (01:26:24):
Doesn't feel like a kick car solution anymore at all moment, doesn't.
Mike looked at a place in grayz Ab, which is
a place in Auckland this weekend, to possibly purchase. Didn't
realize that Tomataway had been built there. Cop cars, police, present,
shady characters hanging around on the street. A prime example
of the government building social housing in otherwise good areas. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
It's funny you should say that because I saw a

(01:26:44):
place advertised in that area the other day, an apartment
for thirteen million dollars. And don't get me wrong, it's
a beautiful apartment, and it is at the top of
the building, but it is nevertheless, when you come out
of that building onto that street, that's where you are.
And I'm thinking to myself, I'm thinking to myself, why
don't I have thirteen million dollars? That was my first sort.

(01:27:05):
But the other thought was why would I pay if
I did have thirteen million dollars? Why would I pay
thirteen million dollars to live to come out of my building,
to live next door to so and in. There is
the great dilemma isn't it, And so how people build
these beautiful places and then put them on the market
when you're dealing with that sort of naisland moum.

Speaker 13 (01:27:22):
Is it better to have the worst place on the
best street or the best place on the worst.

Speaker 2 (01:27:26):
It's better to have the worst place on the best street.

Speaker 27 (01:27:28):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:27:28):
That's exactly the opposite of it. That is five minutes
away from night trending.

Speaker 3 (01:27:33):
Now house the real house of frequencies.

Speaker 2 (01:27:37):
Trend on social media that's taking off it is cottage cheese.
Cottage cheese isn't what it used to be, mind you,
neither's life. Yogurt is the go to these days in
the Western world apparently, but cottage cheese has gone off
online because influences food influencers claiming now that it's actually
part of a healthy diet. People are posting videos of

(01:27:59):
them now trying cottage cheese for the first time.

Speaker 28 (01:28:03):
I've never had cottage cheese. I've just never had the
urge to try it. But I always hear how healthy
it is, and a lot of people seem to like it,
so I'm gonna give it a try. I got the
strawberry ones. I feel like a flavor.

Speaker 21 (01:28:15):
Better.

Speaker 2 (01:28:17):
I don't know all.

Speaker 28 (01:28:20):
It smells like yogurt. I think it's a consistency that
like throws me off a little bit. I think I'm
just like dip a little bit in here and then
a little bit in the strawberry stuff.

Speaker 18 (01:28:32):
Here we go.

Speaker 21 (01:28:35):
Okay, it's good.

Speaker 28 (01:28:36):
I just for some reason wasn't expecting it to actually
taste like cheese. But it just, yeah, it tastes like cheese.

Speaker 11 (01:28:42):
I give it like a six out of ten.

Speaker 2 (01:28:45):
Thank god, I was waiting for a school. What else
did she do with a dye?

Speaker 12 (01:28:49):
Okay?

Speaker 10 (01:28:50):
Do we have cottage cheese with strawberry stuff here in
New Zealand? It seems like an American, very American thing.
I want cottage cheese with strawberry stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:28:58):
Low and fat, high end protein, high levels of B
twelve phosphorus and folate, and lower and calcium compared to
other cheeses.

Speaker 10 (01:29:07):
Apparently, So that's bad or good? Laweren cows. I guess
at least risk of kidney stones?

Speaker 27 (01:29:13):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (01:29:15):
You have been almost annoying this morning?

Speaker 10 (01:29:19):
Shall I do a guy have out and take tomorrow off?

Speaker 2 (01:29:23):
Happy Days?
