Speaker 2 (00:08):
To intrigue and use togsb wedding and welcome today we
are back in business confidence fires.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
Can you feel the vibes? The coppers have had the
best week ever as well? Fuel taxes out road user
charges are inter changes coming? Boden Barrett he's with us
from High Altitude. Timiicated to the week Richard al and
Steve Price. They have a word from Afar as well. Posky,
it's feeling good for a Friday morning. Welcome to the show.
Question for you is the insurance market the last to
get a good going over from the regulatory authorities having

(00:36):
become a country that loves a good market study of course,
petrol bank, supermarkets, Telco surely insurance and while you're at it,
probably the aviation sector would be a good next starting point.
Australia aren't overly happy at the moment with the way
their insurance industry works, and the regulator last week hinted
inspections of some sort are coming, and like banking, a
lot of the insurance game there is run by the

(00:57):
same people as it is here, and like the they
have the same lineup of excuses as to why they're
so profitable. IAG, for example, made a profit in the
last year of about a billion dollars a billion, and
they did it off the back of rising premiums. It
was an eight percent rise in profit and the dividend
was twenty seven cents. Premiums are up because of climate
change and payouts and risk and reinsurance, the usual excuses.

(01:19):
Now they get me wrong. We need profitable, stable companies,
of course, but in this cost of living crisis, councils
and insurance companies seem to be the last one standing.
When it comes to passing costs on at rates a
mile higher than inflation. IAG said, we are starting to
see inflation easing. Excuse me, it has eased. It's in
the band. Central banks all over the world have or

(01:41):
are about to cut rates based on the fact inflations
under control. Not only have premiums gone up, they then
went and flagged that they're going to be going up
another nine percent this year. Reinsurance is part of their excuse.
Here's a fun fact. One of the biggest reinsurers in
the world is Swiss re guess how much their profits
up by seventeen percent to what I hear you ask, Oh,

(02:03):
a bit under four billion dollars. So where's the line
a strong profitable company, companies and industries versus taking the
mickey and simply passing on costs because they can and
seeing massive profits with big dividends while still milking the
old idea that everything's bad, storms, rage and pay outstrained resources. Now,
if that isn't a market study waiting to happen, I
don't know what.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
Is news of the world.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
In ninety seconds, big day for the Harris Camp state side,
she sits down for her first interview. I would say
one on one, but she's bringing Uncle Tim along for
the ride. Anyway, The Poles look good. She's got a
letter of support this morning from two hundred former Republican staffers.

Speaker 5 (02:38):
I wouldn't say it's a marriage, but we can certainly
date they have.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
They made a real effort off you.

Speaker 6 (02:43):
If you listen to Kamala Harris's captain speech, I mean
she even promised a tacticut.

Speaker 5 (02:48):
It was, it was.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
It was quite.

Speaker 5 (02:50):
Extraordinary to me how far she went.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
I'm going to give you the poles in the moment,
but on Fox they're rolling out people to say stuff
like this.

Speaker 6 (02:57):
Has she hit her peak after five straight weeks of
media worship with no scrutiny whatsoever? Does it now go
down or level off from here?

Speaker 3 (03:08):
And Britain Sakia, having talked about text hikes and resetting
times with Europe, has now really raped it up by
telling smokers the rules are changing and the old pub
garden and the city might well be off. Over eighty
thousand people lose their lives every year because of smoking.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
That's a preventable death.

Speaker 7 (03:23):
It's a huge burden on the NHS and of course
it's a burden on the taxpayer.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
So what do the smokers think?

Speaker 5 (03:29):
How we supposed to employee staffed or employee security staff
to run around gardens checking if someone's having a sneaky
fag in the.

Speaker 4 (03:37):
Corner forbidding it.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
There is just completely over the top sneaky fag in
the corner north of the border of the even the
first Minister's pause.

Speaker 7 (03:46):
For thought that we go back about twenty years the
Scottish Parliament legislated FoST for a barn and smoking in
public places and the improvements in public health and Scotland
there's a consequence of that. Have been very, very welcome,
and then.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
So then a AMers burst. Twenty villages have been destroyed.

Speaker 5 (04:04):
We lost everything and we could barely rescue our families.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
The water washed away our farms, vehicles, livestock and crops.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
Is the worst water flows I've seen in my life.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
Finally, news from Spain. We're love, they tell us, is
to be found not on tinder bit in the supermarket aisle.
We're calling it flirting out. It's the old games taking
a use to get to us. I don't know why
it's been so slight, the old game of deciphering messages
based on the items and trolleys. So apparently a lot
of fruit and jis means you're looking for something serious,
or indeed you might just be healthy. A lot of
lollies and chocolate you just want something casual or you're fat.

(04:35):
As for the upside down pineapple, you don't even want that.
There's news of the world in ninety seconds. German inflation,
by the way, just for the insurance companies who are
listening and want to put up their premiums by nine percent.
German consumer price index two percent in August from two
point three, so well and truly under control. Eleven past six.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
The Mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iheartradiow Ify
News Talk.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
These are Fox News numbers. This is what they roughly
call the Sun Belt Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada, North Carolina.
This is why the Harris campaign are so hype. She
leads everywhere bar North Carolina, where it's fifty forty nine
to Trump. I mean it is close, don't get me wrong,
but she's now in the lead. Arizona fifty forty nine,
Georgia fifty forty eight, Nevada fifty forty eight. So a
lot to play for this afternoon. In the interview fourteen

(05:22):
past six, Jomi, Well, thres you Callaha, good morning? Yeah, MONTI, Mike,
you understand this a great deal more than I do.
But how you see that many billions of dollars and
then get depressed about it? I have no idea explain?
In video?

Speaker 5 (05:35):
In video, yeah, in video day Earning's day came and went,
and the hype, well, I think we could call it abnormal,
couldn't we? When we're looking in the after I mean
for crying out, lad, I was looking at there were
in video earnings day parties, people were wishing each other
happy in video. There was even a bloody poem circulating
on x about this. So once you see all this,

(05:56):
you know that the share price moon has probably got
un realistic expectations built into it, and what we saw
yesterday was a solutory lesson in expectations versus reality. And
if I sort of take a step back now, look
at the share price movement. Look at the end of
last week, the end videos share price was just under
one hundred and thirty US dollars. It's now trading one
hundred and twenty one. Yes, it was very volatile and

(06:17):
after ours trading, but I think at one stage in
the overnight session was down just under four percent. So
it's all settled down a bit and everybody's just called
their jets, right. So but here's the thing. The earners
report actually exceeded guidance in a number of aspects. I
mean revenue for the quarter thirty billion dollars that was
up sixteen percent on the previous quarter, up one hundred

(06:39):
and fifty four percent on the same time last year.
Guidance was twenty eight. Came in at thirty. It was
actually better than guidance consensus andless expectations twenty eight point
nine came in at thirty very wide range there, but
the actual outcome, you know, better than the average consensus
earnings per share sixty eight cents versus expectation of sixty
four cents. At the divisional level data center revenue twenty

(07:03):
six point three billion, ahead of expectations. In terms of outlook,
they're out looked for third quarter revenue expecting thirty two
and a half billion, ahead of analyst consensus, but it
was below some of the more optimistic expectations. Basically, Mike,
what have happened here is this company had become priced
for perfection, and if not for perfection then certainly with

(07:24):
expectations of a big earnings beat. Look, there are some
sort of little minor complications and the background the company's
new product. This is this next generation Blackwell chip that
needed a production tweak gross profit margins have narrowed. But
it was a classic case of buy the rumor and
sell the fact. The company posted a really good result,

(07:45):
but the market wanted great And if I look at
the broader market now, dal Jones up one percent overnight
the Nasdaq STAP, so the market has taken the results
in their stride and they'd be more focused overnight on
better GDP growth numbers.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
So yeah, or I'm all a bit crazy, let's bring
it back home. You called it. I don't think you
were expecting quite what we got yet now, I mean,
you can't argue with it.

Speaker 5 (08:08):
This is the aen Z Business Outlook. So cut what recession?
We should have got Glenn to queue up that old
blam blam blam song, shouldn't we There is no depression,
not in corporate New Zealand anyway, or not according to
the latest aan Z Business Outlook. Because that's a stunning
result here, really was. I mean, if you wanted great,
forget the Nvidia result, just look at New Zealand business confidence. Yeah.
I mentioned yesterday that we could see a bounce in confidence,

(08:30):
which is somewhat of an understatement. What actually printed. So
for people out there that haven't seen it, business confidence
sowed twenty three points to plus fifty one. That is
the highest level in a decade. Yep, in a decade.
Expected own activity jumps twenty one points to plus thirty seven.
That was a mere seven year high. I mean, what
were they thinking? However, just to bring everybody back from

(08:51):
La La land experienced own activity. What actually happened rose
just one point to minus twenty one, so still extremely weak.
But as I alluded to yesterday, there was an issue
here around the timing of the responses in relation to
the OCR announcement. But the issue your right, MIC, is
not what I expected, because these increases in confidence and

(09:12):
activity expectations they were evident in responses gathered before the
RBNZ move. So the lifting confidence looks like it was
influenced by the fact that the move lower in wholesale
interest rate occurred or started moving well before the OCR announcement,
So the business community picked up on the fact that
there was strong potential for interest rate relief already, even

(09:33):
if the RBNZ hadn't moved or endorsed that market forecast,
and looking at second line inflation explanations, explation expectations fell
a little. The RBNZ will please that What is very
evident though in the survey MIC is the big contrast
between backward looking and forward looking activity. So better times
are presaged, but the hero now is still quite grim,

(09:56):
and the question is how long does the hero now
last before we get to those better times.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
We get to the promised land. I think people are
desperate to want to feel good anyway. What are the numbers, Mike.

Speaker 5 (10:06):
We've just had a bit of a minor crisis here
on the on the old data. Here we go, Here
we go.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
It's back, it's back. It's throw anything there.

Speaker 5 (10:16):
Here we go, Here we go. The dal Jones is
up four hundred and sixty three points forty one thousand,
five hundred and fifty four. The S and P five
hundred up forty one points. That's three quarters percent, five
sixty three two in the Nastak up two third percent,
one hundred and fifteen points seventeen thousand, six hundred and
seventy one. The forty one hundred overnight gained thirty six
points eight three seven nine. The Nicky game, the nik

(10:42):
was down nine points thirty eight thousand, three hundred and
sixty two. If you bear with me, I'm having technical
difficulties here, so we'll have.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
To skim on silence. Still.

Speaker 5 (10:51):
The thing's just crashed right as I'm talking to you.
But it's okay. We've got the currencies point sixty two
sixty seven against the US dollar. We've got point nine
to a seven against the Ossie against the euer point
five to sixty five five point four seven five five
against the pound against the Japanese EMRA at ninety point
seventy nine. And I'll just give you a Brent crewed
if I can get.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
Them make it up. So it's sixty six sixty seven
sixty sere.

Speaker 5 (11:16):
Well, that would make you very happy, wouldn't it. Seventy
nine dollars. So we close the week out just under
eighty bucks.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
And okay, there there will be a performance review on
this over the week. And you know this, You go well,
and we'll see you Monday. No, we won't'll see you Tuesday.
Andrew kellahe jomowl dot co dot m ZE and we
go as per requested. Good idea from Spain coming in.
If you're a digital nomad or a remote worker there
now and I haven't seen numbers like this before, they're
prepared to pay you thirty thousand dollars to move to

(11:45):
an area called extra Madura, anything for housing, land, anything
to expedite your arrival. These are their words, not yours.
You live in a place called the Umbra's belly. You
got to stay. The money comes in two parts. You
got to stay for a couple of years, and if
you stay after a couple of years, then you get
the other halfs So half and half. But thirty thousand
dollars to your digital moment, thirty thousand dollars to live
in Spain. Not bad. Six twenty one, you're on the

(12:06):
Mike Costing Break.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered

Speaker 3 (12:16):
It'd be Mike. Our house insurance went up thirty three
point one percent last year, thirty eight point six this year,
usual excuses. Our insurance profits went up one thousand percent.
I'd like to know who your insurance is, Mike. The
latest big rise in business confidence is not the bell
of everything. We need to remember that business confidence was
on the floor, so there's only one direction to go.
Not true. I take your point. It's not a bad point,

(12:36):
but it's not true. Confidence can always continue to fall.
But I do maintain my argument that I think I
started last week. I think things are turning in this
country and people are keen to feel better about life. Morning, Mike.
I bet you when they take the fuel tax off
and replace it with ruck within six months, the fuel
companies will creep the fuel price up, and there'll be
no difference. I think you're wrong. Once again, a very
good point, but I think you're wrong for a couple

(12:58):
of reasons. Won the mechanism. I mean, they can put
the price up at the moment, And many people text
me on a regular basis going what about the price
of petrol? How come the oil's gone down and the
petrol hasn't gone et cetera, et cetera, And of course
the government monitors the margins, and so I don't know
that it will make any difference. But we'll talk about
this after seven o'clock, six twenty five.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
Trending Now with the squarehouse, you're one start for Father's
Day fragrances.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
Everyone's a cynic, aren't they. I've got a pit trend
for you. So dog owners go viral these days on
social media. I don't mean everything goes viral on social media.
Dogs communicate using soundboard buttons. So the dog hits a
button to ask for something or express an emotion.

Speaker 8 (13:39):
Jeez, yeah, we're home now. Yep, exactly, we're home now.
Oh I love you too, bunny.

Speaker 3 (13:53):
Bunny, Bunny, happy switches.

Speaker 8 (14:00):
Okay, happy sketches, happy sketches, Yeah, the girl.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
And you wonder why we've got troubles. So researchers from
the University of California have worked out that the dog
doesn't even know what they're doing. So they studied thirty dogs.
They found the animals responded to words like player outside
or scratches or scratches, whatever the hell that was, regardless
of whether they were spoken to by their owners or
triggered by pressing a button. Plus, the dogs responded in

(14:33):
the same way when the buttons were pressed by an
unrelated person. Now next test is change where the buttons
are and see if the dog can work it out.
There's a university Winston. Peter's on the program for a Friday.
I think that'll be good. I've got a couple of
things to talk to him about, one of which is
they've got a members bill they want to get rid
of at which is Auckland Transport. And if you live

(14:56):
outside of Auckland, you don't know how lucky you are
that you never have to deal with Auckland Transport. So
as soon as they get run out of town, the better.
But it is a member's bill. But there's there's some
other stuff bubbling that I want to talk to Winston
about Boden Barrett from high Altitude. He's with us after
seven thirty is well?

Speaker 2 (15:10):
Meantime users, Next, You're Trusted Home the News, Sport, Entertainments,
Opinion and Mike the Mike Hosking Breakfast with Bailey's real Estate,
your local experts across residential, commercial and rural news togsad
be Mike.

Speaker 3 (15:25):
There were three cars next door to us that have
no regio for over a year, so they'll never pay
road users charges. Don't you hate that? I'd move my
tig one Mike. Fifty dollars less at gull yesterday versus
peak petrol prices. Mike, well done, Thank you for texting.
Everyone texts me about the price going up. They never
text about the price going down, so well they knew morning, Mike.
Does the fact that what this government is doing slowly
improving things in this country show how intent the last

(15:48):
government was and bring us to our knees? Probably twenty
three to seven intermdas Miss Harris and mister Wallace at CNN.
So more to say on that, Richard Arnold than a
couple of moments. Meantime back here, how do you plan
to deal with Auckland Transport is even first has produced
a members built would have pulled and then passed. Will
scrap them and return the power to Aukland Council. Not
surprisingly the mayor Wayne browns into it and you see

(16:10):
them first Leader Winston Peter's with us on this good
morning to you, good mind you got any numbers worked out?
If it gets pulled.

Speaker 9 (16:18):
You've been voting numbers? Yeah, well of current sense for revails,
it'll go hosing through Parliament. Because this was set up
in two thousand and nine, it's been a serious failure
and it's gone on year after year, massive complaints. The
whole city is if they goodbye and nothing's been done,
and we decided we need to do something about it,
and do it now.

Speaker 3 (16:39):
Was it set up incorrectly just to explain it to
the rest of the country because they seem apowering to themselves.

Speaker 9 (16:46):
Certainly you see it from the very beginning. It lacked
any democratic oversight and certain way you get issues about accountability,
court decision making and no transparency in cases between the
AT and the open has been a pollet and as
a consultation with the communities.

Speaker 3 (17:05):
Felt like it can you do anything about it, or
can Wine Brown do anything about it or the council
do anything about it? If the bill doesn't get pulled,
in other word, consent to central would central government move
if they had to?

Speaker 9 (17:18):
What the reality is that the mayor can't do a
thing about other councilors can't do a thing about it,
then we need to change the wrongful establishment of this
critical infrastructure in central government. Well, we'll see very quickly
when they have looked at this legislation exactly.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
All right, a couple of things while I've got you
for this Friday morning. Shane Jones and his attitude towards
the judiciary. Do you have an issue with his comments
or not?

Speaker 9 (17:45):
Really, the reality was she made a comment in a
circumstance where it was overheard, not intended for public consumption
in any way, shape or form, and that is unfortunate
because there is a separation of powers and there is
a respect between both organizations and both lists with a
peopolis governor judiciary. So in the sense Shane has very

(18:08):
very clear if I made a comment based on someone's background,
of course, which was a fact if you had in
your past been a member of you know, the left
reading socialist or communist organization. Then the question is not
that person should be surveyed now, but is it true

(18:29):
or not? In fact, it's true, no doubt about that.
He just got longing overheard by someone who actually report that.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
What about the totalitarian thinking that he was talking about yesterday,
does he need talking to or not?

Speaker 9 (18:41):
But if you're talking about the Treaty of Whitini tribunal,
did he write any tribunal. It's not a court. This
is not the House of lords, and it's not an
upper house. It's not a supreme body in this country.
There are the concerns about that. And I'm not joining
a Shange's comments other than to say there is a
serious anger society about the powers of the signal take

(19:03):
unto itself and sort of what you might call a
semi judicial make work scheme receiving all sorts of applications
for presiding over things never commimicated when it was established
ninety seventy five, or what's powers were expanded in the
eighties by Jeffrey Palmer.

Speaker 3 (19:20):
So please so pleased to hear you say that, because
I asked the Prime Minister about the several times, and
he's much kinder with them than you are, But explain
to me why in a country with less than no
money we continue to fund an organization that has well
passed its use by date. The historical grievances by and
larger been sorted, and they're in the business now of
pumping out almost daily urgent reports.

Speaker 9 (19:39):
What's the point of that, wells a fair question is
a serious political issue. We're not going to reserve from
that in terms of challenging what's going on here that
the original mandate descripted by Parliament, agreed by cost. The
political divide has long since changed, and many of us

(20:00):
not happy with what's going on. And we're saying so
because in the end we were sitting out back. Mean
to try and trick the past, if that is possible, well,
that's very difficult do that. We try to trick what
could be fixed up and get on with being one country.
As Finnecooper said in nineteen seventy five.

Speaker 3 (20:16):
Exactly your thoughts on the passing of the Mary King.

Speaker 9 (20:20):
A very sad that he's gone his rone for eighty years,
say kingy Dunne or King Movement will be in the readment,
and so will many who, as I say, not past
the king don't but respect its establishment will be passing
on there severe sincere condolences and as a very sad day.
He was sixty nine years of age. Not a old

(20:42):
time to be in my eighty years on the throne,
and now there's going to be the honey so sweet.
A long process and then a successor has to be appointed.

Speaker 3 (20:56):
Appreciate your time. You have a good week in Winston Peters,
New Zealand. First later eighteen minutes two, asking very pleased.
It was always going to happen, but it was one
of those weird procedural things where and the police will
talk to Andrew Costall later on, not about this because
it's not important enough. But they decided yesterday to drop
that action against David McLeod, the MP, remember the bloke
who mucked up his return forms, one hundred and seventy
eight thousand dollars donations, all that sort of stuff went

(21:18):
to the Electoral Commission. Fair enough. They referred it to
the police. They have to just in case he turns
out to be some crazy and a crook. He's not,
he never was. They have a look at this and
they go they've completed their inquiries into the matter. I
would have thought they had better things to do. But
I suppose that those are the rules. Seventeen too.

Speaker 3 (21:40):
TALKSIP Michael wish Winston was twenty years younger. We need
more of his style and thinking. You did realize he
was around twenty years ago. You should have enjoyed and then, Mike,
you know, I only voted for Winston once, way back
in the nineties. I find it very hard to continue
to dislike him, and I don't think I do. Neither
do I And I've said over many many years he's Macavellian,
And no, he's not Mcavellian. He's he's what what's the

(22:00):
person work that changes colors? What's the word I'm looking for?

Speaker 10 (22:03):
Chameleon?

Speaker 3 (22:03):
Chameleon. So give him the right circumstances and he'll perform
well given the unfortunate circumstances, and he goes off piece
as a foreign minister. He's always been good, continues to
be good in my humble.

Speaker 10 (22:14):
Beautiful praying to be a bit obdurate sometimes, isn't there
a little.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
Bit obduate and a little bit chameleonesque? Fourteen minutes away from.

Speaker 11 (22:20):
Seven International correspondence with ends at Eye Insurance Peace of
mind for New Zealand business.

Speaker 3 (22:26):
Right, Richard Arnold, how are you this morning?

Speaker 12 (22:28):
Doing well?

Speaker 13 (22:28):
Morning mate?

Speaker 3 (22:29):
So Harris Walf's CNN Dana Bash.

Speaker 14 (22:32):
That's right, they're sitting down for this first major television
interview of the Harris presidential campaign right now. The interview
will air in a few hours here on Cable News Network.
She's been questioned by Dana Bash and has been joined
by Harris's VP, pick Tien Wolves as well. Typically this
kind of interview would not draw massive attention. But this
is not your regular routine, is it. Kamala Harris did

(22:56):
not go through months and months and months of primary
She was only named as a Dems chosen nominee five
weeks back. So every word of this will be screened
and scanned even before it is well the knives are out.
Does she need her deputy Walls to hold her hand?

Speaker 9 (23:09):
Well?

Speaker 14 (23:09):
No, jointed of views are a fixture in presidential campaigns. Here,
Trump and Pence did one, Obamara and Biden did one
at about this point in the campaign. However, again, this
is not a routine campaign season, and the first mail
in ballots will be sent to voters in some states
here in just a couple of weeks. Some of the
earlier states, including North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Ring of Beldes

(23:30):
are all battleground areas. As you know, Harrison Wolves have
been doing a bus tour through parts of Georgia where
they hope to add some numbers even if they do
not win the state. Meantime, Trump, as ever, is in
the throes of another yet another fual. I'm not sure
this will affect many votes, but here's what happened. The
US Army today is rebuking Trump over an incident earlier

(23:50):
in the week at the main military cemetery in the country,
Arlington National Cemetery. The Trump team went in with a
camera crew invited by one, but not all, of the
family members of people who were killed. Service members were
killed in a terror attack at Carbal Airport, where thirteen
US troops died three years back. The Army says, a

(24:10):
cemetery worker who was seeking to remain anonymous so she
doesn't become a political target, which seems like a pretty
smart idea, tried to stop making the making of the
Trump campaign commercial at this site, where he poses with
some of the families at the graves with thumbs up
and calling the Biden withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Speaker 12 (24:31):
They quote disaster.

Speaker 14 (24:31):
Problem is it is illegal to film or make political
appearances at the Arlington site. That's in the rules. Everybody
knows this. The folks at Arlington say their staff are
was physically pushed aside. One Trump aid claimed this person
was quote suffering from a mental health episode. Another Trump
aid called this staff ray quote despicable individual. Well, they're

(24:54):
not shy on comments, are they to this point. Kamala
Harris has said nothing about it, but Trump's running mate J. D.
Vance was a little more outspoken.

Speaker 5 (25:01):
She wants to yell at Donald Trump because he showed up.

Speaker 4 (25:04):
She can go to hell.

Speaker 3 (25:06):
Go to hell, says Vance.

Speaker 14 (25:08):
Yes, while the family of a Green Beret who died
of suicide after serving eight count of eight combat tours
and is buried right next to where Trump was standing
says they gave no permission to have that grave used
in a campaign commercial on the question of Afghanistan. Neither
Trump nor Obama naturally sought to end what had become
basically an ineffective US military operation. Trump had shut down

(25:29):
other air bases in Afghanistan used by the US and
sharply reduced American troop numbers, cutting into security there. So
it's complicated.

Speaker 3 (25:38):
Indeed, it is all right, Richard, you have a good weekend.
We'll catch up Monday. Appreciate it very much, and just
quickly on Trump. By the way, Ever, at the latest
he's been playing some of these songs the Winner Takes
it All apparently, money Money, Money Dancing Queen. That was
a Minnesota in July. They got word and they said
and hang on, you got to stop. So that's yet
another ratism. He doesn't like their music being associated with
the former president.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
Ten to seven, the Mic Hosking Breakfast with the Range
Rover Villain News Talk said, been.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
I like, we've been to Arlington. It's a sacred and
special place. It was quite clear to us all visitors
that filming was not allowed. Yeah, I saw Arlington. Arlington
was one of the things that surprised me when I
was in the States since sixteen for the last election.
Are not the last last election of the last election
I was in the States, but anyway, we went to
Arlington because we could, and that was one of those
things you go my word I'm glad I went and

(26:23):
saw that Mike Carmeler's interview is pre taped so they
can minimize all her embarrassing befores and word sellered stuff ups.
So she can't do it live. You're a conspiracy conspiracy theorist.
It will not be edited in any way. Yes it's
pre recorded, but it will not be edited in any way,
shape or form. As regards the interview, I kind of
feel sorry for Dannabash because she's a decent operator, not

(26:44):
a brilliant operator, but a decent operator. The unfortunate thing
is why they thought, and I know what Richard said,
but why they thought in the first interview in thirty
eight thirty nine days that she can bring along Uncle Tim.
That's damaging image wise, it's damaging. Sit down by yourself,
state your case, state it strongly, be the prosecutor and

(27:05):
look like you want to be the president and know
what you're talking about. That's the message she wants to send.
And what does Tim think? It's a bad look. She
picked the soft network CNN. Of course you go whether
you like CNN or it doesn't matter. They've got a
reputation of being soft on the Democrats. And hard on Trump.
So she's picked a soft network. They picked an interviewer
that really is on hiding sadly to nothing unless she

(27:27):
lays it out and puts her on the floor, then
it will be one of those. She didn't really go
hard on it, did she. So it's going to be
an interesting watch and see what comes out of it.
Five minutes away from seven.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
All the ins and the outs, it's the fizz with
business Faber, take your business productivity to the next level.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
Now we got a sign that even though we're in
this alleged cost of living crisis, we still got plenty
of money for takeaways. These really are impressive numbers from
a company's point of view. This is restaurant brand, so
they do KFC, tucker Bell, Pizza Hut, and Carl's Junior.
Good result sales in this country top three hundred and
nine million. Now, that's up almost fourteen percent thirteen point
seven percent on the first half of this year. A

(28:07):
couple of things drive at same sore sales are up
on ten percent. They opened seven new stores and that's bullish,
you know, t times. If you're still opening new doors,
good on them. So they've got one hundred and fifty
shops around the country at the moment, stars as the
show a KFC and Taco Bell still haven't been to
a Taco Bell. Wouldn't know what Taco Bell do. I mean,
I can guess what they do. They do the buddh bowls.
So they do the Boter bowls and the Don Don
Bowies or what was that you were telling me last time.
The Taco Bell Bowl, Yeah, try it, lail bowl, yeah,

(28:30):
Taco bowl, a Taco bowl.

Speaker 10 (28:32):
Yeah, They're not going to do Don Burri.

Speaker 15 (28:33):
I think that's a completely different culture, different ethnicity, different.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
Everyone does everything in these days. You get a bowld
of whatever. You don't even know half the time what
you've ordered anyway. So KFC and Taco Bell are doing
well overall because this is the interesting thing they offer.
In Australia, Hawaiian California revenue was up seven percent tick
over six hundred and eighty seven million. Now they see
growth slowing, which I thought was interesting in Australia. But
the longer hours here are helping net profit twelve point

(29:00):
six maybe, and now that is up four hundred and
seventy six percent, So that's a that ten point four
million dollars, so they made ten point four million dollars
more in profit. Here's the interesting thing. Am I sounding cantankerous,
old and miserable?

Speaker 10 (29:15):
Yep?

Speaker 3 (29:16):
Yeah, But that KFC thing? I mean, is there any
good to be gained in any way, shape or form
at all from KFC?

Speaker 10 (29:25):
I think you've missed the point of it.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
Probably When was the last time you're at KFC?

Speaker 10 (29:31):
Well, there's one just around the corner from my house.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
Say no, more so do you walk?

Speaker 10 (29:36):
Do you want to go down to Taco Bell later?

Speaker 3 (29:38):
No? But I wouldn't be adverse to at least once
trying a Taco Bell, because I've tried the Pizza Hut,
and I've tried the KFC, and I've tried the what's
the other thing they do, don't they dominate? What's the
other thing they do? Pizza? Yeah, but a pizza. Not
a fan of that either. But that's just me. I'm
just boring news for your a couple of moments. Then

(30:00):
we'll do the business of the police. Andrew Coster is
with us on on this week of rounding Up the
Gangs and Boden Barrack. He's with US south of South Africa.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
The newsmakers and the personalities, the big names talk to
make cost Breakfast with Veda, Retirement Communities, Life Your Way News.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
Togs B seven past seven to more change coming to
our roads. Looks like drivers won't pay fuel exercise taxes
anymore but road user charges instead. So how would it work?
What's it mean? The AA Transport Policy Director markat Glenn's
with us Martin Morning to you. Why am I as
an idea? Do you like it?

Speaker 16 (30:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (30:37):
For a couple of reasons. One spechus come a lot
more efficient for new vehicles, so it's not fear for
older vehicles doing the same amountain roads as newer vehicles
to be doing it. And technically petrol Texas without fuel
systeency is it's not raised in revenue we need for

(30:59):
the system anymore. There's a big there's a big gap
government grants and loans in our TV and it's increasing
the debt. So we really do need a system change.

Speaker 3 (31:09):
And having rucks and everyone pays rucks, will that make
it simpler?

Speaker 12 (31:14):
It's more about making it fear of everybody you know rucks.
It's how many climes do you drive? So for the
same time vehicles, same type of icle, you pay the
same amount.

Speaker 3 (31:23):
So you use it, you pay for it. It's as
simple as that. How much of it's a revenue grab
because as you say, as you go, you're not going
to the petrol station anymore. In the government panic and
they need the dough.

Speaker 12 (31:35):
I don't think it's I think I think it's a
revenue grab. That's about everybody paying the same amount. But
with vehicles being becoming more fuel off, it will mean
more revenue for the government.

Speaker 3 (31:47):
Is this the future by the time we do this,
By the way, this isn't coming until twenty twenty seven.
You do that plus some sort of congestion time, user charges,
et cetera. Is this the way of the future.

Speaker 12 (31:58):
Well, we'd have to see, particularly what the government has
proposing once he's.

Speaker 17 (32:02):
Done a bit more work.

Speaker 12 (32:05):
It's kind of a huge change getting the all the
Pictul vehicles on to ruck that's something like three and
a half a million vehicle, so the three quarters of
our fleet.

Speaker 16 (32:14):
One of the big.

Speaker 12 (32:15):
Questions is whether we are moved to our current system
with the whole of our changes, or whether it'll be
electronic radios of charges, which would actually require devices and vehicles.
So it's not clear whether this is going to be
a stepping stone to there, or they're sort of going
to go radical and go electronic radios of charges.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
Okay, well, we've got a couple of years to wait
and find out about it. Martin, appreciate it. Having a
good weekend. Martin Glenn, who's the AA Transport Policy Director
NOMEN has past seven How well can you feel a vibate?
The business confidence numbers from the AMSAGE Regular survey have
exploded to their highest levels in a decade. General sentiment
rose twenty three points. Best resultsance May of fourteen. The
chief economists today and Zid sharon'songs were A Sharon Morning,

(32:54):
good morning, so important to point fifty one plus fifty one,
so we're above fifty it's a low base.

Speaker 18 (33:01):
Well, yeah, Essentially these questions are asked relative to today,
and we have a question in there about how the
last last month has gone. That's there's a net twenty
one percent firm saying that activity was lower than a
year earlier. So the bars for improvements from that point
is fairly lot.

Speaker 3 (33:17):
Were you surprised by the size of the jump though,
It just strikes me we're desperate for something we've seen
Adrian do a bit of there's maybe some life in
the economy whatever, and then you know, we're.

Speaker 18 (33:28):
Happy, you know, I think, I think it is a
really positive sign. It's the first reaction obviously to lower rates.
So the Reserve Bank only cut rates in the middle
of the month, but these higher results were evant already
at the very start of the month. But already by
then we were seeing falls and wholesale rates. We were
seeing econ spring forward their forecasts for when cuts would come.

(33:50):
So the whole vis of the discussion had changed to
the idea that rates cuts were coming very soon. So
I think certainly that had a huge amount to do
with this result.

Speaker 3 (33:58):
Actually, before I forget, what's your vibe? I know, the
other day the Bank of England's cut once and they
they're claiming they've seen a material difference and change in
the housing market after one cut. Would you expect something
similar here or not?

Speaker 18 (34:10):
Well, if you just look at the level of rates,
you say, no, that's ridiculous. But there is a there
is a threshold and crossed a switch has been selected
of people who are thinking of buying a house now
are thinking okay, well, if I can handle the rates today,
then I'm good. Whereas you know, even just two months
ago they were thinking, well, we don't know if rates
could go higher. I don't know, this is all. I'm
very uncertain. I'm not sure I can take that risk.
There is certainly a perception that the risk of higher

(34:32):
rates is out the window and that better times are
just a question of time. So I don't think it's
unquestionable at all. I don't think it's unlikely that the
first cut is the deepest. To quote Rod Stewart, that
that the turn in the cycle is in and of
itself quite important. So we'll be watching things like the
auction clearance rate for Barthot and Thompson. That that's where

(34:53):
you get the most, the most leading information, and that
has actually ticked up a little bit the last couple
of weeks. It's not high these fund of life.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
I do love an economist who quotes Rod Stewart. The
pricing intentions rose. Is that a concern or not inflation
really speaking?

Speaker 18 (35:08):
Yeah, Well, it was disappointing. We saw both the proportion
of them saying they're going to raise their prices imminently
and the amount by which they intend to raise them.
Both of those ticked up for the second month in
a row. They just sit back and look at the chart.
It's pretty clear there's a strong downward trend. But those
things do need to fall further to be consistent with
the Reserve banks inflation expectations, so it'd be nice to

(35:30):
see a drop next month. But the cost measures were
also very, very sticky, So you know, i'd say that
the Reserve Banks had stopped the antibiotics a day early,
perhaps compared to what their earlier forecasts had suggested. They've
got fewer runs on the board to mix up my
metaphors completely. Then they said they were going to need
That's not an unreasonable thing to do because the growth

(35:50):
is looking weaker than they thought. But you know, they've
taken a bit of a pump. There weren't any risk
free choices they could have made this month. But it
does mean that we're all going to be watching the
data with even greater interest than normal.

Speaker 3 (36:04):
Ain't that the truth? You have a good weekend as well.
Sharon's on AMZ Chief Economists thirteen minutes past seven. Ask
Mikey you were aware the patch gang members at the
hawks By Regional Council supporting Mary Wards and then performing.
Of course I'm aware, Paul. I'm in the news business
for God's sake, and what I was disappointed in was
Simmey and Brent. While I'm disappointing the council obviously because
they broke the law. You can't just I mean the
laws of the law. You cannot be a patched member

(36:25):
and turn up in a public place like that. But
I was a little bit disappointed in Simmy and Brandy
didn't come down harder. He made a comment about how
disappointed he was, but he didn't come down harder, and
he should have. Speaking of the law. Andrew Costa's next
thirteen Past the.

Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by
News Talks.

Speaker 3 (36:43):
At b I've got the big Father's Day when I'm coming,
are going to make the draw shortly five thousand dollars
Winter with Chemist Warehouse before eight for Dad's Day. Boden
Barrett is with us after seven thirty as well. Sixteen
past seven though, but what a good week for the
police headhunters blowing up in Auckland. Fifteen million dollars worth
of assets handed over their headquarters. Then yesterday every single
member of the Common chero has got rounded up in

(37:03):
christ churchs the police Commissioner Andrew cost Is with us.
Good morning, Good.

Speaker 17 (37:07):
Morning, Mike.

Speaker 3 (37:08):
I've got to feel good about this.

Speaker 4 (37:10):
Oh.

Speaker 17 (37:11):
Look, absolutely, it's been an outstanding week and just reflection
of incredibly hard work by a huge number of people
in our investment of area.

Speaker 3 (37:18):
Particularly just for the record, the naysayers have been texting
me saying there are about three common cheros in christ
Jeurtch and that's rounding up nobody. How many did you
actually get?

Speaker 17 (37:28):
We executed twenty nine search warrants and we arrested eighteen
men aged between eighteen and fifty five, So a pretty
remarkable effort.

Speaker 3 (37:39):
Why don't we hear more often the term every single
member has been arrested.

Speaker 17 (37:46):
Well, that's our object, of course, when we're going after
an organized crime group. We're always limited by the need
to have evidence, of course, but in this case they
have done an outstanding investigation and I mean evidence on
all of those fingers. So that's pretty impressive effort and
just reflects the sophistication that we've developed in our capability

(38:10):
to investigate organized crime.

Speaker 3 (38:11):
I don't know whether people are surprised or not. Maybe
I'm not, but I was moderately surprised at the size
of what you've got, guns, money, cars. I mean, this
is big, big business, isn't it.

Speaker 17 (38:23):
Yeah, and we have seen a real upping of the
Antibo organized crime groups here in the last five to
ten years. We have responded. We've invested a huge amount
into our capabilities in terms of organized crime, investigation, surveillance,
financial crime. You know, we know that going after the
assets is what hurts them the most, and that's what

(38:45):
will continue to do.

Speaker 3 (38:47):
The pace of the legal process. Do you want to
make a comment because this seems to take to if
there's a weak link here, and I don't want to
get into criticizing judges, and you won't do it, but
this takes to my eye far too long. Is the
legal process a problem?

Speaker 17 (39:02):
Our investigators say that it's roughly a third or third
of third, So one third investigation, one third preparing the
case for court, in one third disclosure in relation to
the court process. That is a heavy burden. You know,
a lot of that is necessary for the interests of justice.
But yeah, it's a big overhead in something that does

(39:25):
slow us down in terms of our ability to get
onto the next job.

Speaker 3 (39:27):
Is it possible to your eye that there's something we
can obviously do in this country to make that easier
or not.

Speaker 17 (39:36):
There are different approaches taken in other countries that we
would respect in terms of things like criminal disclosure and
those processes. There needs to be a balance between serving
the the truest of justice, which is of course of
primary importance, but also not getting so bogged down and

(39:56):
all of that that we are inefficient.

Speaker 3 (39:59):
Yeah, exactly, Well, I've got you the Ginny Anderson numbers.
Just just I think we put the record straight. But
Beat beat numbers are up, aren't they up? Not down?

Speaker 9 (40:10):
Fantastic?

Speaker 17 (40:11):
Yes, they are up, certainly in a year on your comparison,
Beat numbers are up, and you know those numbers are interesting.

Speaker 13 (40:20):
For me.

Speaker 17 (40:21):
The most important testers are people seeing and feeling a
difference in terms of their acceptions of safety through the
presence of place. And I think we are very clearly
getting the message that people are appreciating the visibility we've got,
particularly in most main centers.

Speaker 3 (40:35):
I don't think there's any doubt about that. Andrew cost
appreciated as always. Police Commissioner Andrew Coster Let's mark the

There was a hotel room in Manchester after Liam and

But the crowd showed up and there was no love,
no shortage blood there. Kirsty also eight my hero of
the week. Reminding is trust is good. Being old fashioned
isn't to be sniffed at, and standing at ground is
to be admired. Mining seven. The poll out this week
told the story that the activists in the media would suggest, well,

(42:34):
it's not how New Zealand thinks. There's the pole. You
can't argue with the number Spring seven. Believe it is
the last marking of the week for the winter of
twenty twenty four b and Zen and houses six seven

the economic winter and the side of normality. I would
have thought labor and tax two. Wow, if that really

have regrets about?

Now?

Are the COVID inquiry Part two? Seven? We should not need,
of course a part two, But part one is such
a scam and a stitch up. Ginny Anderson two.

Speaker 5 (43:22):
I don't agree with your numbers, Bust of the Week.

Speaker 3 (43:26):
Numbers don't lie, Ginny. Was it careless? Was it macavilian
or was it just lazy? Are the police eight? I
mean when you arrest as we've just heard every single
common shero Now that is policing power three Debate of
the Week. Hopefully we've finally woken up to the following
of ideology, the carnage of talk over doing, and the
reality of basically the role of basics and what sort

(43:47):
of role they play in all our lives. The Greens too,
what a shit show. Tana takes them to court so
they cancel a meeting. God help us if they ever
end up actually having to make a decision about anything
important orre On Buffett seven my other hero of the week,
because by being worth a trillion dollars as they now are,

(44:07):
through good old fashioned common sense, you remind us all
that success doesn't have to be whiz bang and built
on puffery in what might be? And that's the week
copies on the website. Now listen, if you take sixteen
of these, you can cut them into a pattern and
make a really cool shirt you can wear at a
Pacific Island leaders conference. Sky I think it's fair to
say police Commissioner seems more confident and perhaps even more
useful under the new government. I think that's true. But

(44:29):
I mean, how can you not be enjoying yourself more
if you're the police commissioner as opposed to whining and
snibbling and handing out ankle bracelets versus rounding up a
few gang members. I mean, how is that not fun?
Mike Patch members in the public places are against the law,
and there's clear foot to job them being in public
place after the event, why don't the police press charges? Mark?
The answer will be quite simply, they'll look at the video,
They'll go how many people are breaking the law? Technically

(44:51):
there's a lot. Why were they breaking the law? Is
it something that we need to leap on if we
lay some charges? What are the chances that were getting
to court? What are the chances that we're getting to
court and somebody handing out a seat pintance? And how
much PaperWorks involved in all of that and you know
where the rest of it goes. And so therefore they
won't if it then becomes a problem, and we're seeing
it with Winston Peters and at and all these little
fifeedom lobbies who think that they're super important. When a

(45:14):
government passes the law, the law is the law is
the law. The White Tangi Tribunal falls under the same category.
You can push back if you want by way of argument,
but this I'm going to ignore the law. This, No, no,
I don't recognize that law. No no, I'm not going
to do that because I'm special and I'm different. That's
the sort of thing that has to change and if
it becomes a problem, it's at that point they'll have
to act. Body is standing by for us in South Africa.

(45:35):
He's next.

The breakfast show. You can trust the mic Hosking Breakfast

Jim and Cadi. After right, we've also got to give
away with the compliments of chemists Warehouse five thousand dollars
for Father's Day. So we'll make that phone call and
sometimes it's half arming time of twenty three to wait.
This weekend, all blacks are in South Africa. First test
post the Leon McDonald era. You can call a few
games and anyway Elvis Park record will show South Africa's
one nine of the fifteen and fallback of boden Bar.
It is with us. Good morning, good evening, How are

(46:08):
you very well? Indeed, take us through the week. How's
it been.

Speaker 16 (46:11):
It's been a great week so far. Its one time
in here over here, but it's still very hot during
the day and it's dry and we're at altitude and Johannesburg,
so training's gradually intensified as we've gone along. But yeah,
we're building nicely.

Speaker 3 (46:29):
How long does it take you, If it takes you
any time at all to adjust to altitude.

Speaker 16 (46:34):
Oh gosh, I don't think you'll ever adjust fully. Even
for the South Africans having the home advantage, they'll be
still suffering a little bit at altitude, there's no doubt
about that. Just obviously a lot harder to breathe, and
you get gas really quickly. So the ball also travels

(46:57):
probably ten twenty percent further. There's all these things to
weigh up.

Speaker 3 (47:02):
How does that go? So how much time do you
adjust your practice during the week, one in practicing kicking
to touch and two catching a high ball.

Speaker 16 (47:10):
Yeah, obviously it hans up there a little bit longer,
so your timing, like you say, we have to adjust
for that. We get plenty of reps in but general
kicking out of hands, even passing just little things, that's
just increased by by ten or twenty percent. So yeah,
we're slowly. We have an overtrained early on in the week,

(47:32):
but we trained a good clip today and really felt
our luans burning. So yeah, we don't want to overtrain early,
especially after travel. But by the time we hit the
ground on Saturday, are we ready to go?

Speaker 3 (47:43):
And how much do you reckon this weekend is about
so you take the altitude, you take Ellis Park, the crowd,
you take the rivalry, all of that. How much of
that's in your head as opposed to the physicality of
just training and this is another game.

Speaker 16 (47:56):
Yeah, it's the biggest challenge of these test matches is
when it gets really tough, been able to look up,
see the space and be able to communicate it. So, yeah,
we're driving our big boys to get up off the deck,
give ourselves options to play to wherever the space is
because it's going to be the same for both teams.
It's whoever wants to work really hard, and in our

(48:19):
previous experience here we show that when we use the
ball in the back and the latter part of the games,
that's where we really broke them open. So it's going
to be a twenty three man efit, that's for sure,
and it's probably going to go to the eightieth minute
if we really want it.

Speaker 3 (48:36):
Speaking of it's speaking which when they name a team
as they did yesterday, does anything within you change? I mean,
the players change week to week. Does that affect you
in any way, shape or form, giving you you're at
the back of the field. You can see it all.

Speaker 16 (48:49):
I guess for us if there are changes, it's getting
used to the different combinations. But that's why we practiced
throughout the week. We become familiar with one another and
the game plan we want to play. It's in terms
of beer strategy. Typically they pack an extra ford on
the bench and go for two backs on the bench.
So that's a sign of them wanting to be physical

(49:11):
upfront and roll on their big boys early on in
the second half and make a statement. But I'm sure
our big boys will handle it and it's going to
be an interesting one to see how that goes. Hopefully
not too many scrubs and line out males, and there'll
be a good brand of rugby.

Speaker 3 (49:29):
Fact that it's in the daylight making any difference to you.

Speaker 16 (49:32):
It's great playing in afternoon. The climate's great over here.
Five o'clock kickoffs. It'll start off being funny and then
the end of the game it'll be nighttime. But it's
the perfect time.

Speaker 3 (49:43):
Yeah, have you been out enough to get a vibe?
I mean, are the All Blacks still revered in that
part of the world. Is there's still that fizz between
two of the great Nations.

Speaker 16 (49:52):
There's plenty of fidds here in Johannesburg and there's going
to be even more in Cape Town. Our support there
is phenomenal and all the places that we travel to
in the world, it's probably the biggest in Cape down
and we've really felt it here too, So no doubt
when we drive to Alice Park we'll get all those Yeah,
they'll be right into us, getting stuck in. It's pretty

(50:14):
hostile place to play, and we'll certainly feel the energy
from the crowd and no doubt they'll try and dron
out the huckers. So it's all probably if not, you know,
one of the best places to be tested in the
arena and obviously lucky enough to get another opportunity there.

Speaker 3 (50:33):
So yeah, exactly do they deserve currently the hype that's
behind them. Are they really that good?

Speaker 16 (50:39):
Yes, they've been dominant for two cycles now, winning the
World Cup in twenty and nineteen and twenty three. They've
got a very experienced squad and some big boys who
they know what they're doing. They play a game plan
that really suits them. But I think we'll see that evolve.

(50:59):
Tony Brown there helping them out, so I think you'll
see a little bit of expansion to their game, and
particularly with their selections. I've got some very exciting backs.
So yeah, you'll see them express themselves on the weekend,
which we've got to be aware of. But we're up
the challenge.

Speaker 3 (51:17):
Fantastic. I haven't talked to you since the changes. What
do you make of Razor? Do you love them?

Speaker 16 (51:22):
Look, he's a great guy and the team that he's
got working with him, it's pretty impressive. We're still working
each other out and becoming familiar with certain things, but
it's been a good start. And yeah, there's no doubt
that everyone knows the success that he's had, and yeah,

(51:45):
it's a privilege and I'm having to be working with them.

Speaker 3 (51:47):
Fantastic. The All Blacks Bowden by how many guys.

Speaker 16 (51:52):
I'll take it by one three fair. Anyone South that'scar
against this current side is going to be a great
outcome for us, So you no doubt what backing ourselves.
Don't get me wrong, It's going to be a tough game,
but we believe that we can do it.

Speaker 3 (52:07):
Good on, go well Boden barrap out of South Africa

Speaker 1 (55:52):
The Mike Hosking Breakfast with Bailey's Real Estate News Talk Sidney.

Speaker 3 (55:57):
She was most deserving winter ever, Michael. A lovely woman
was She'd liked them absolutely, couldn't agree with you more, Mike,
Father's Day money going to a mum and then the
daughter exactly what dad would want that it is very true,
but they're going out of breakfast. Great interview with Boden.
He speaks very well. Lived with a Barrett family in
Ireland in the early two thousand when Bodin was nine
or ten. Oh, I hate those stories. I hate those

(56:20):
stories when I remember you when you were seven and
you just think, oh, what's coming next, Mike, I and
sure my car with AA, I've never had a claim.
My premium in the next year arrived Tuesday. It's gone
up from twelve hundred to fifteen eighty per annum, twenty
three percent increase. I rang them. They said it was
because cars were flooded up to cyclone Gabriel. They've got
to move past that. I mean, that's over a year ago.

Speaker 18 (56:42):
Now.

Speaker 3 (56:42):
I changed medical insurance the same day. It was one
hundred and fifty dollars less. Not a huge difference, but
AA not remotely interested. Well, it's fair enough, and that's
the chur It's one of the things we learned over
the week. By the way, when you're talking about banks
in competition, people churn and power and they churn in banks.
There seems to be plenty of movement in the market
out there. By the way, can I just say, and
this has got absolutely nothing to do with anything speaking

(57:02):
of insurance, and I certainly I gain absolutely nothing from it.
But Star Insurance ever since I discovered them, what a
bunch of rock stars. I mean they are. And I
won't tell you the story, but my wife, and she
won't tell you the story either. She may one day
but not yet. I will ask her after I said
do you want to tell the story? When I say
do you want to tell the story, she'll go no.

(57:23):
But it involves a local authority and the difficulties we've
had this week, and that's the worst of it. The
best of it is a company like Star Insurance, And
once you discover what you get in life is these days,
unfortunately a rarity. The people know what they're doing, they're
there to help, they want to help, they're professional. It

(57:43):
works quickly every time, and you're so appreciative for it.
And that happened to me at Star Insurance. I got
yet another wind screen this week. When I say yet
another wind screen, I've only gone through two or three,
and none of it's ever my fault. But I've got
a big crack last weekend and you bring them up
and I reckon go to woe is maybe a minute
and a half? Possibly no? On hold, never on hold?

(58:06):
Got a wind screen? What's your number? Yes, no problem,
take it down there? Do they do it?

Speaker 16 (58:10):
Yes?

Speaker 19 (58:10):
You do?

Speaker 3 (58:11):
Tick the box, dam boom out.

Speaker 10 (58:14):
Do your INTI minute wipers still work? After the windscreen?

Speaker 3 (58:17):
Was a very good question, very good question. It's a
big job these days, because once you get the heating
and the windscreen, and you get the camera in the
wind screen and the calibration that's required, the windscreen is
essentially nothing. It's everything else that's the association with your
windscreen these days, it's not a wind screen. It's basically

(58:38):
the space station. So putting the windscreen into non event
doing the rest of it is why it started at
seven thirty in the morning and it was ready at
about three thirty.

Speaker 15 (58:46):
Yeah, because we've got a car now that where the
interimnute wipers just don't work. And it took us a
very long time to figure out.

Speaker 3 (58:52):
It was because they didn't calibrate.

Speaker 10 (58:54):
We had the windscreen replaced. It wasn't.

Speaker 15 (58:56):
No, apparently it's because they got a little bit of
glue over the bit where.

Speaker 3 (58:59):
The oh that'll do it thing that certainly if you
glue the windscreen wipers to the screen.

Speaker 10 (59:05):
That wasn't it.

Speaker 15 (59:07):
But it was to do with the little is a
little camera or something that knows when it's raining.

Speaker 3 (59:11):
Exactly it's it's called a sensor and if you glue
over that as well. So if you glue over the
sensor and glue the windscreen wipers to the screen. Chances
are known if it's going to work. But that's a
multi anyway, So Star Insurance. Once again, I reiterate because
Ben Fordham, who's a bloke in Australia, has an association
with the company you got involved with and got a
pile of crap this week. I have no association with

(59:33):
this company whatsoever other than I discovered them. I use them.
I'm a customer. I'm a happy customer, and in a
world of unhappy customers, it's nice to meet a happy
customer dealing with a decent company who actually knows what
they're doing. Now it's a shame I can't tell you
about the other story, but I am in not even
close to being in control of my own life. My
wife runs my life and so I've been issued with

(59:54):
complete instructions as to never enter down that particular path.
She may change your mind, who knows, but we'll find out.
You'll Kay Hawksby and Tim Wilson after the News, which
is next? Big News?

Speaker 1 (01:00:05):
Bold Opinions, the Mic Hosking Breakfast with Bailey's Real Estate,
Your local experts across residential, commercial and rural news togs

Speaker 16 (01:00:19):
Getting You've got a.

Speaker 3 (01:00:19):
Cow windows foodback, so we need to get into that
running the risk of sounding like Marcus lush Fontaine's DC
is an Irish band.

Speaker 15 (01:00:32):
I chose them because I thought when we heard somebody
the other day saying there hasn't really been a band
like Oasis before.

Speaker 3 (01:00:40):
A certain one?

Speaker 10 (01:00:41):
Is it quit? It's kind of by.

Speaker 3 (01:00:43):
Them text If you agree with Glenn's going to be
many anyway. The album is called Romance. This is their
fourth album. It's a series of snow globes, captured moments
and emotions, and it's also a change of direction.

Speaker 4 (01:01:02):
If you know them.

Speaker 3 (01:01:03):
Eleven tracks I've never heard of. You heard them. We
just picked them because they sound like Oasis.

Speaker 15 (01:01:07):
Eleven the second thing, Yeah, it shows it because they
sound like Oases.

Speaker 3 (01:01:14):
Thirty six and a half minutes.

Speaker 1 (01:01:17):
I hope to a Week in Review with two degrees
bringing smart business solutions to the table.

Speaker 3 (01:01:23):
Right now, the boss is standing through the double glazing,
and the reason the boss is standing through the double
glazing is Timmy. You're there, Tim, Yeah, I'm listening.

Speaker 4 (01:01:32):
I'm here.

Speaker 3 (01:01:33):
I'm with you. Katie there you sound you need.

Speaker 22 (01:01:36):
Some pseudo eff dream. You don't sound well.

Speaker 23 (01:01:40):
I just said I might have bowled a couple of
durries last night. It's not the end of the world.

Speaker 3 (01:01:44):
Oh, okay, Bold a couple of duarries last night.

Speaker 5 (01:01:48):
It's getting out of the world.

Speaker 3 (01:01:49):
Boss is standing. He wants the technical quality, probably also
from a programming point of view, the programming quality of
the segment to be improved. But technically speaking, we're trying
this thing this morning and it seems to be working
so far. Are we feeling good? Okay?

Speaker 23 (01:02:05):
Feeling don't know about the programming quality though, I can't
be responsible.

Speaker 3 (01:02:10):
Job. It's sort of my job. It's only nine minutes
past and so I've got a couple of minutes to
build it up. A couple of quick questions for you, Katie,
just telling everybody in the other studio about your week
and the administration. Should we go.

Speaker 21 (01:02:21):
Further, Well, I think I'm just dealing with stuff that
people deal with on a daily basis, aka anything to
do with the council. And I'm dealing with the council
and it's over a CCC issue and the levels of
edmond and bureaucracy and checklists.

Speaker 4 (01:02:37):
Just okay, what's the what do you mean a CEE
CEEC issue?

Speaker 21 (01:02:42):
What does that mean, oh no, no, it's just co
complant on our on our pool and our bob got
done and we had we're waiting for inspections and we
had final inspictures.

Speaker 22 (01:02:50):
Everything passed, so tickety boo.

Speaker 21 (01:02:52):
But getting the final then you've got to apply for
code compliance and that turns out to be quite a mission,
quite a miss.

Speaker 3 (01:03:00):
It's worth and we don't have time, even though this
segment is about twenty minutes long, we don't we don't
have time to go through the detail. It is worth
going through the detail one day just to explain and
show everybody in this country. And it will be counsels
up and down the country. You run the same program
that the amount of energy and time and money that's
spent on essentially doing nothing important. I mean, a pool

(01:03:23):
is a hole in the ground. It's not a weird pool.
It's not a dangerous pool. It's not a pool that's
killed thousands. It's just a hole in the ground with
some water.

Speaker 22 (01:03:31):
Just the replication. I think of all the paperwork.

Speaker 21 (01:03:33):
You're replicating things over and over and over and over
again just so they can tick a box. And when
you question it, they're like, oh, it's just on the checklist,
if it's relevant to your pool or not, as kind
of doesn't matter. They need to have some paperwork around that.
So the whole thing just takes such a long time
and seem so and every contract drived out worth because
I've had to go back to all of them for
original PDFs, et cetera.

Speaker 22 (01:03:53):
Have said, don't even get me started.

Speaker 21 (01:03:55):
These processes are always horrendous, and you know, so everybody's
in the.

Speaker 23 (01:03:58):
Stat Also, I've got I've got the solution. I just
watching about how you how you deal with this? What
you do is you do an eighteen hour podcasts just
the two of you. I'll be washing my hair that day,
and you call it CCCD.

Speaker 4 (01:04:10):
See how it goes.

Speaker 3 (01:04:11):
Why don't we call it? Why don't we start? I
don't know. The headline of Work Council Troubles is that
a podcast that would get a lot of downloads.

Speaker 4 (01:04:17):
COUNT, that that would go game buster.

Speaker 3 (01:04:19):
Council Troubles questions for COUNT.

Speaker 4 (01:04:21):
Might wash my hair? The next Councils con.

Speaker 3 (01:04:23):
Troubles Mike and Cap Father's Day Tim.

Speaker 4 (01:04:29):
Apparently I'm booked to go to a soccer tournament. Roman's playing.

Speaker 3 (01:04:34):
That's super exciting. What what bit of role on a
father's day, to be your father on the sideline, chilling
your youngster onwards and upwards.

Speaker 23 (01:04:41):
Absolutely, the last time, now forget forgive me this moment,
but the last time in the semi he scored the
match winning goal and punted them into the finals.

Speaker 3 (01:04:50):
In the semi and the finals. That's that's that's a
leak sport talk. That's not about that's not about participation,
turning up and having fun. That's about why.

Speaker 23 (01:05:00):
Not start, Do not start with this nonsense about how oh,
it's just about participation at amateur level. The boys lost
in the final and they were gutted because they wanted
to win. Guess what, even in amateur sports people want
to win. It's not about participation and good feelings.

Speaker 3 (01:05:16):
Did it take you some time to come to grips
with the fact that you had a sporty child, not
perhaps one ensconced in a library poet.

Speaker 22 (01:05:27):
We don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:05:28):
Look, look he actually.

Speaker 23 (01:05:31):
I think he's probably more soccer player now, but he
wanted to be a soccer player and the priest at
one point. So I feel like I feel like we're
getting But what you're saying, Mike is that I'm not sporty.
That's ridiculous. I'm extremely sporty. Mus squash, the press ups,
the vigorous walking.

Speaker 4 (01:05:47):
I'm an athlete.

Speaker 3 (01:05:48):
Okay, So what you just did there is laid down
three things, one of which I knew about, which was
press ups, and I will give you that some press
So I've never heard of vigorous walking, and certainly i've
never heard of play squash before. And I think you're
making that stuff up, Katie. Can I just take you
back to your time in England? Were Oasis? Because I'm
thinking this is we've got carried away with us. Were
you there when Oasis was a thing? Or am I
predating them?

Speaker 22 (01:06:08):
Or you are huge? I'm signed up to the pre style.

Speaker 23 (01:06:12):
You realize, God, oh no, this are you going to.

Speaker 5 (01:06:18):
Take Mike huge?

Speaker 21 (01:06:20):
This is iconic, absolutely iconic. And Glenn's attempt to find
a band that sounds a bit like them boohoo, thumbs down.

Speaker 22 (01:06:27):
Nothing.

Speaker 23 (01:06:28):
One of the names guys, I don't even know the
names the guys in Oasis. What is it Bruce and
Kevin or something.

Speaker 3 (01:06:36):
Here's the funny thing, because we did the Times guy
yesterday and he was saying, I don't know whether all
the other members are going to be with them, and
I thought, what are the members? Because that's one of
those bands that beyond Liam and No, what were the
other members? Katie?

Speaker 22 (01:06:49):
Actually I don't know, but.

Speaker 3 (01:06:51):
I don't think anybody does.

Speaker 23 (01:06:52):
Can I just say, Katie, if you get if you
get it, take air plugs. I went to see Oasis
at the Logan Campbell Center and my ears rung for
three days afterwards.

Speaker 4 (01:07:01):
Oh really, Top two volume was that's because hemorrhage at.

Speaker 3 (01:07:05):
Campbell the acoustics of the Logan. Campbell's seen it. But
I just the reason I asked Katie is I wonder
if they were more British. They represent a grunge style
Manchester down at heel and themic songs of hope. That's
a very British sort of thing as opposed to being
truly you know, global, you know what I mean?

Speaker 16 (01:07:21):
Or not?

Speaker 18 (01:07:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 21 (01:07:21):
And I think the story too, the fact they broke
up and it was so kind of acrimonious and the
fact they're getting back together after all this is I
think everybody's kind of on board with that kind of
redemption story.

Speaker 22 (01:07:31):
I think it's just a good story.

Speaker 3 (01:07:33):
Okay, listen, I've got actually two announcement for you. I've
got two announcements on Okay, you know, Katie, but okay
because you can't play this game Tim next week. Yes,
I have a musician on the show and I like
him and I want to talk to him and it's
quite exciting think about who that is. And I have

(01:07:55):
money for you as prizes for Father's Day if you
can come to and do not talk to Katie. Get
the thing in the break More in a moment.

you say so, I thought that same sort of thing
Mike's au Oasis in March of ninety eight in Aukland,
Logan Campbell. Then the Carter Holt Pavilion. Nothing will come
close in a time and place thing, the carter Hold Pavilion.
Where are you going? I'm going to the Carterhold Pavilion.
Please might let it be Rod. It's not Rod, Trudy,

(01:08:36):
but good try damn it, Mike, I'm way more excited
boy Ellison Moyer releasing a new album than Oasis. That's
fair enough. Tests. I wasn't Ellison Moye delightful on the
program this week? I'm sure both of you caught that.

Speaker 4 (01:08:48):
Yes, she was. She was almost as good as Timmy Nielson.

Speaker 3 (01:08:51):
She was good. What did you think of the Ellison
Moya interview, Caddie.

Speaker 22 (01:08:55):
I'll tell you what.

Speaker 21 (01:08:56):
Getting CCC is a full time job, and my job
starts early, so I fold down missed that one.

Speaker 3 (01:09:03):
So unbelievable. The announcement of the tour is Brian Adams
is coming to the country. How much excitement does that
fill you with?

Speaker 23 (01:09:09):
Tim Well, I thought I was going to get some
money for No, no, no building up.

Speaker 3 (01:09:15):
That's how you build boding throughout the half hour, what
you do as you toy with people and just get
the good stuff at the end. So Brian Adams is coming,
He's here in September. No, he's not. Our lies and
here of February next year. They're so happy it hurts
tour and tickets go and say on next Wednesday? Is
that Colkadie? Are you on the mailing list for that
or not?

Speaker 17 (01:09:35):
Oh?

Speaker 22 (01:09:36):
I'm not on the mailing list for that.

Speaker 3 (01:09:37):
Okay, would you be interested?

Speaker 4 (01:09:39):
And when can you hear the Energy and the Voice.

Speaker 3 (01:09:41):
Though or Oasis? You realize they're not actually touring here,
don't you?

Speaker 23 (01:09:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 22 (01:09:47):
I know for the UK.

Speaker 3 (01:09:48):
Oh, sorry to the UK. My apologies, my daughter for this.

Speaker 21 (01:09:51):
She she's fizzying and she's signed us all up. In fact,
she's probably signed you up for the pre sale as well,
because she's desperate to get on the ballot for tickets.

Speaker 22 (01:09:58):
So we're not going to get them because we in
the UK.

Speaker 3 (01:10:02):
But what Cardiff? What happens if we get three tickets
to Cardiff?

Speaker 23 (01:10:06):
Imagine going to the Carter Whole Pavilion and Cardiff.

Speaker 4 (01:10:09):
That would be amazing.

Speaker 3 (01:10:10):
Sake lost, we lost control of my life. Tim for
the bottle of Scotch of your choice for Father's Day,
with the compliments of Catherine and my good self.

Speaker 4 (01:10:24):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (01:10:24):
The guest on the program next week is who.

Speaker 23 (01:10:29):
Can I can I just ask for a declining like schedule.
So if I get the first one wrong, could it
be a bottle of blended Scotch and the next one
would be like a five dollar bottlest out.

Speaker 3 (01:10:40):
I'm going to give you two guesses. One for the
first of the bottle of Scotch of your choice, one
for the meal of your choice from Taco Bell.

Speaker 23 (01:10:52):
Taco Bell, do a great breakfast. Okay, my first, my
first guess Willie Nelson.

Speaker 3 (01:10:58):
So for a second, guess of your choice at Taco Bell,
Tim Wilson. Next week's guest on the Mike Hosking Breakfast
is Larry flint.

Speaker 3 (01:11:23):
Were trying to She wouldn't.

Speaker 4 (01:11:26):
She wouldn't. She wouldn't give me anything that. She wouldn't
give me any names or anything.

Speaker 22 (01:11:29):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (01:11:29):
What did you tell him? Try to think about what?

Speaker 21 (01:11:31):
No, I said, I can't possibly say. And he said,
come on tell me. I said, no, I can't. I said,
think about the genre he's obsessed with.

Speaker 3 (01:11:37):
Currently And and you said, so.

Speaker 22 (01:11:40):
What some ideas myself?

Speaker 3 (01:11:42):
And I said that, And that's why he came up
with Willie Nelson.

Speaker 23 (01:11:46):
Yeah, well, I know you're you're you're a country love
and man.

Speaker 3 (01:11:49):
I've interviewed Willy Nelson once and I won't go back there. Unfortunately,
as much as I love him, and he's one of
the geniuses of the modern age. He's dreadful talent. He's shocking, shocking,
shocking talent.

Speaker 23 (01:12:00):
Saying for Robert de Niro painful, absolutely painful. When he laughed,
it was like he had back pain.

Speaker 3 (01:12:07):
Like how yeah, yeah, yeah like that.

Speaker 21 (01:12:13):
Oh no, hey, listen to you guys earlier when you
were trying to work out what Taco Bells sell, given me, Well.

Speaker 3 (01:12:20):
They do breakfast, obviously they couldn't they do a great breakfast.

Speaker 4 (01:12:23):
I did a Taco Bell breakfast in Hollywood.

Speaker 21 (01:12:25):
Yeap, brilliant And you were like, Taco Bell do they
do do bolt?

Speaker 4 (01:12:29):
Like?

Speaker 23 (01:12:30):
Oh, I know, so awkward, painful, so embarrassing term, doesn't it?

Speaker 4 (01:12:36):
Quick question?

Speaker 3 (01:12:37):
Question answer? Honestly? Am I getting more embarrassing as time passes? Yes,
you have a fabulous Father's Day? Is it Jared or Bruce?
Or which one of your kids is playing football?

Speaker 4 (01:12:54):
That's Roman Jared Bruce.

Speaker 3 (01:12:58):
Worship the best? And and what do you got planned

Speaker 3 (01:13:26):
Tom said, b now Chemis ware House. They've had a
fabulous morning with that five thousand dollars prize. Of course,
a real house of fragrance for the Father's Day. So
you've got a couple of days to go, get in store,
do it online if you want, but here we go.
David Beckham Instinct seventy five mills, twenty two ninety nine.
Ralph Lauren Big Pony number one as opposed to Big
Pony number three, one hundred mills eighty nine ninety nine.

(01:13:47):
Youp um up um won twenty five mills just fifty

Hugo Boss Bottle d mills for seventy nine ninety nine.
Or what about the Brewbery London, one hundred mills there

(01:14:08):
for the last minute Father's Day gift, part of an
elaborate surprise whatever, fast delivery, click and collect, they got
it all. Stop paying too much though. At the Chemists warehouse,
tasking Mike, if you're not getting more embarrassing as you
get older, you're failing aging. That's true. Actually, Mike, No,
you're just coming right. That would be my assessment. Brian
Adams Mike supported the police in February of eighty four.

(01:14:28):
No one was watching because skydivers were landing at Western Springs.
He stopped playing and said, this is an effing rock concept.
Thank you, Ellen, Mike. I saw Oasis at Wembley. The
highlight was people lobbing pints at other people in the crowd.
Sounds like a fun day at Wembley, Mike, what makes
you think this Friday family squabble session makes good listening?
Are the ratings? Numbers? Numbers don't lie news for you

(01:14:53):
and a couple of miners. Then will cross the Tasman
and catch up with Steve Price. There were News Talk to.

Speaker 19 (01:14:58):
Z B.

Speaker 1 (01:15:04):
Your trusted source for news and fews, The Mic Hosking
Breakfast with a Vita, Retirement, Communities, Life Your Way, News TOGSADB.

Speaker 3 (01:15:14):
Morning Mike, can you tell me the name of the
insurance company you mentioned? Star is the answer, Mike. Nelson
hasn't had a chemist warehouse, but today it's opening at
Nelson Junction. There you go spreading around the country. Bit
of up sitting in Britain, speaking of Oasis, bit ofb
up sitting in Britain over the price they're charging. I
don't know why there. I don't think there's always upsetting
Britain over anything but Oasis. Being the working class lads,
they are are charging what I would regard as being

(01:15:36):
average prices whimbley. If you want to stand, you can
pay about three hundred to four hundred dollars. If you
want to sit down it'll cost you five hundred dollars max.
If you want a VIP package you can spend a grand.
If you want to go to the Principality Stadium in Cardiff,
if you want to sit down, it's about four hundred.

(01:15:57):
If you want to stand, it's about four hundred. So
standing or seat in Wales doesn't really make any difference.
Don't charge you anything different. That's a very Welsh thing
to do, mind you. There the people have got ten
recycle bins for God's sake per average on average Edinburgh
standing one hundred bucks. Now, actually I lie about that.
That's two hundred bucks sitting down about the same. So
that they haven't quite got that worked out over there,

(01:16:19):
have they? Twenty two minutes away from.

Speaker 11 (01:16:21):
Nine international correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of
mind for New Zealand business.

Speaker 3 (01:16:27):
I wonder if I told them you realize you can
charge more for sitting down, they'd go, oh, that's not
a bad idea. We might try that, Steve Prices, whether
it's in Australia, how are you mate?

Speaker 13 (01:16:34):
Happy Friday?

Speaker 3 (01:16:35):
And to you too? So who are the labor ministers
and who's the company is a BHP?

Speaker 13 (01:16:40):
Sure is a lot of focus on Western Australia because
labor needs to hang on to some seats there. They
picked a couple up in the last federal election and
one of those seats is held by a resources minister.
Madeline King. Now you and I are know we're reasonably smart.
You would think if you were the resource ministerior held

(01:17:01):
a seat in WA that you'd be nice to be HP.
I mean that just sort of goes hand in club,
doesn't it. I mean big Australian massive exporter of iron
ore was the biggest company in the country into one
of the banks took over. Well, she's gone out yesterday
after making a speech and she said, look, we're a

(01:17:21):
labor government bhps. They're always winging because we're a labor government.
They go to the media about not liking the Australian
Labor Party. They are the people who go to the
Murdoch Press to do their bidding. They don't like about
a labor government chooses to do. This is all over
industrial relations changes. So the workforce obviously about Epe's massive

(01:17:42):
and these changes by labour are going to cost the
company more money. And so she's gone out and bagged
the hell out of them. The only problem she has
is one Anthony Albanezi. You'd be so angry you don't
won't believe it. And two of the full cabinets going
to Western Australia next week they have a cabinet meeting
and there she is bagging a massive mining company during
what is potentially becoming a recession.

Speaker 9 (01:18:04):
Just really stupid.

Speaker 3 (01:18:05):
Yeah, it's unreally, I've been watching the channel. I mean,
you work for every channel. As far as I can
work on but one of the channels you work for,
Sky they've been running a sort of a Bush series
of programs where they go around rural bits of Australia
and Gina ryan Hart was a major feature of I
think the one they were running in Queensland the other day.
And I've never actually heard her talk, but she seems

(01:18:26):
a I don't know, but she's eloquent is probably too
strong a word, but she seems a sensible, reasonable sort
of woman with a couple of bold ideas and she's
not afraid of saying what she thinks.

Speaker 13 (01:18:38):
Oh call her eloquent. And if you're the richest person
in the country, can't say what you think about anything.
I mean, that's the attitude she has. I mean, she
says what she thinks, doesn't bugger everybody else, she doesn't care.
She's actually a backup one of those summits. Today, the
Australia's Bush Summit will be held in port Edlund today
which is in the far north of Wa, and she's

(01:19:00):
come out this is the speech she's going to make today, saying,
you know, trying to rely on renewable energy to replace
gas and coal on our grid is just ridiculous. She
says it's simply not going to hurt. She says the
truth needs to be known. So called a sustainable energy
can't under in our base powerload requirements. The sun doesn't

(01:19:21):
all well, a show in the wind doesn't always blow,
and she said the amount of money that's going to
have to be spent to hook us up to the
grid is humongous. Different sources of energy are simply not
the same. So she is interestingly very pro having everything
in the mix, including nuclear, and she is a big
supporter of the Coalition. She's particularly supportive of Peter Dutton.

(01:19:45):
He flew across the country at some stages this year
to attend one of her birthday parties and that's the
only reason he we flew over there. He went over
there and back and so that is what she's talking about.
And I think the majority of Australians probably agree with
Gina right now when he says we've we've got abundant
supplies of stuff, why we're not using it.

Speaker 3 (01:20:06):
Couldn't agree more. And funnily enough, I'm reading in the
Australian press yesterday the Australian Energy Market Operator headline three
months to back up the grid as the risk of
some of blackout ramps up. We're going through the same thing.
What you like, I don't care, Sola, when do whatever
you like? Just I want the lights to turn on
each and every time. And that's not too much to ask.
In twenty twenty four, is.

Speaker 13 (01:20:23):
It two thousand percent? And you know you the younger
people who are going to vote Green in this election.
Wait for them to start screaming when they can't charge
their mobile phones.

Speaker 3 (01:20:33):
Yeah, exactly. Now, Twiggy speaking of rich Australians, Twiggy bought
our m Williams and a Kubra and she Gina bought
drys a Bone. Am I right in saying.

Speaker 13 (01:20:44):
That, yes, you are one hundred percent okay?

Speaker 3 (01:20:47):
And she's would you still buy a dry as a bone?

Speaker 13 (01:20:52):
They're very stiff and difficult to wear. They're an oiled coat. Really,
She's apparently tried to turn it into something a bit
more trendy. But I don't think I'd look in the
dryser bonds.

Speaker 3 (01:21:01):
I think you'd look good on anything. Steve, what's the
what's what's the where are we at with the Hamas visa?
We sort of hit on.

Speaker 13 (01:21:11):
No Federal Cabinet Minister Jason Clare is in charge of education.
He's come out with the most naive statement I've heard
on this at all. He says, look, any Palestinians coming
to Australia, this is a direct quote from Jason Claire,
would not have any sympathy for Hamas now. Claire said,
people arriving from Guys Garza, they're just coming here trying

(01:21:33):
to rebuild their lives. He urged Peter dunn't to go
and meet some of the people that have come from
Palestine since October seven. Now we all know no one's
come here since May because the borders have been shut.
But we have issued seven thousand visas to people who
will be able to come here if those borders ever open,
three thousand tourist visas, and we've now had fifteen hundred

(01:21:56):
Palestinians came before the border closed. But how can he
come out and say, look, none of these people support
her mass If you'd had your house blowing up and
you were given a tourist vision and you had two
couple of little kids and your wife, and you were
told you can go and live in Australia, you're not
telling anyone you support her. I say, you're going to

(01:22:16):
be saying, oh, they're evil terrorists. I don't want to
have anything to do with them. Doesn't mean you don't
support them, and it's crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:22:22):
It is crazy. Steven. You have a very good weekend
and I'll catch up with you Monday. Look forward toward
Steve Price out of Australia. By the way, just before
we leave, sixteen minutes away from nine Pas getting Quantus
came out Aviation yesterday and you Zeeland, of course much
diminished profit. They similar sort of story in Australia, not
quite as bad though diminished, but at one point two
five billion, I mean, obviously they are a much bigger
airline with a lot more mierorplanes. First full year financial

(01:22:45):
result under the new CEO, Ellen Joyce left, of course
last year twenty eight percent slump in what they did previously,
which was one point seven four. So one point seven
four down to one point twenty five. Overall revenue is
actually up, operating margin down company. It's been focused on
restoring the brand after a torrid that's their words, not
mine a torrity and that was all the reputational damage

(01:23:06):
that mister Joyce was responsible for. Sixteen to nine.

Speaker 1 (01:23:11):
The Mike asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, powered
by News Talks at b Mike.

Speaker 3 (01:23:17):
My daughter works for Gina Royanhart roy Hill. She's a
great boss with great bonus, A bit you she is, Mike.
I also watched that speech by Gina Ryanhart. Fantastic if
only we could attract politicians to be a caliber. She's
not a politician obviously, but I take your point. But
they've run a very good serious Sky News this is
the Australian channel, and they've run the series of meetings
around rural Australia and they can be a bit dry,

(01:23:37):
but I've always been fascinated by Australia and its size,
and it's its diversity and the various issues. And I mean,
because it's so big, you go to these rural parts
they have first of all, there's sometimes there are parts
you never heard of, and their problems that they face
are individual. But they've been having this series of town
hall meetings with a lot of fascinating people. Just before
we leave Power by the Way, Meridian, I was disappointed
to read yesterday they had a green hydrogen idea And

(01:23:59):
if you're you know, I'm a big fan of hydrogen,
not always green I mean, I don't know, you know,
green's ideal, but doesn't have to be anyway. They've been
having this thing. They were going to build a big
facility in Southland that apparently is now off because the
economics just no longer work. And that's sad, and this,
I suppose douptails in the overall debate around energy. It's
all very well to say, hey, wouldn't it be good
if we could do this, but it's got to work,

(01:24:21):
and it's got to work as in, you've got to
deliver it. It's got to be reliable, it's got to
be cost effective, there's got to be returned for investors,
all that sort of stuff. So they've paused plans. It
was going to be one of the world's largest scale
green hydrogen facilities, the Southern Green Hydrogen Project is what
it was called. Been going for years. All the plan's
been going for years. There argument is that markets have

(01:24:41):
been slow to resolve the gap between the cost of
production and the potential customers willing to pay for it.
So it's the old economic equation. Woodside. Speaking of Australians,
they're a major player out of Australia. They were the
partner so we'll continue, They say to monitor actively our
target markets. But jeez, these in this day and age,
I think if you're saying it's on hold, the chances

(01:25:03):
have been coming back for Philly Islam. But then we
come to Finland, which is fascinating as well. And I
don't have time now, but I was reading another thing
about Iceland, who are sucking carbon out of the air
with this massive thing that looks like a missile launcher.
So think of a missile launcher, big massive, square box
with little tubes holds instead of missiles. It sucks carbon

(01:25:23):
out of the air. But in Finland they're on the
cusp of becoming the world's first country to bury nuclear
fuel that's spent, so use it. They bury it, geological tomb,
they reckon. They can store it for one hundred thousand years.
They call it a watershed moment, a model for the
entire world. So in other words, they can crack it,
they can do it, do it like us. It's like that,

(01:25:45):
so like the missing part of sustainable life cycle for
nuclear energy, and the Iceland thing, look that up, because
when they suck the carbon out, I can't remember the
specific scientific process, but they suck the car out of
the air, somehow mix it with water, put it in
something like concrete and bury it and then it's contained

(01:26:08):
forever or until the concrete breaks or something so nuclear
waste for one hundred thousand years in Finland, carbon in Iceland.
That's the sort of stuff that's eventually going to save us.
All nine Away from nine on.

Speaker 1 (01:26:23):
My Costel Breakfast with the Range, River Villain News talksb.

Speaker 3 (01:26:27):
My New Zealand's working on carbon collection and christ Churchill
I must there's a lot of it going on. There's
a lot of people on the you know, doing bits
and pieces, but it's one of the areas I think
we could probably expand on a little bit more so
post oasis. All the old oasis stories are coming back
to surface. One of the more famous ones is the
tryst between Liam and Lily Allen in first class on

(01:26:49):
a plane from Britain to Japan many years ago, and
he's married to not Lily Allen, but Lily Allen fancies Liam.
They drink a lot of champagne and they end up
doing it all the first class seat. She writes about
this in an autobiography, and so that's fine because this
happened many years ago, no one cares. But of course

(01:27:09):
all these stories are now resurfacing, and the best headline
of the morning was Champagne super legover. I'm quite likely
Champagne super legover you. I like that one. I've got
news of a movie, but before I tell you the movie.
This news of this movie Beatle Juice, which opened at
the Bennes Film Festival yesterday, surpasses this is the review

(01:27:32):
surpasses the original and almost every respect question, when was
the last time you heard a review that is that
bullish about a sequel? I think the answer is probably never.
Five minutes away from nine.

Speaker 1 (01:27:45):
Trending now with MS Warehouse, the Real House of.

Fragrances, Champagne super leg Over, Jurassic Park It's coming a

we thought was the end. This is what it sounded like.

Speaker 19 (01:28:07):
I wanted to show them something that wasn't, something that
was real, something that we could see in duct.

Speaker 2 (01:28:25):
Howly Settler, Alan Grant, You didn't come out all this
way just to catch up, now, did ye?

Speaker 3 (01:28:34):

Don't move bigger?

Speaker 19 (01:28:41):
Why do they always have to go bigger?

Speaker 3 (01:28:45):
Good question? I saw the original? Yeah, I think I
saw the original.

Speaker 15 (01:28:55):
Wow, Mike Husking actually saw an action movie.

Speaker 3 (01:28:58):
Ye, hustle original. So this new installment, five years after
the events of Jurassic World, Dominium Planet's ecology has proven
largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial
environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived.
Antonio Guterus of the UN says, Oh, how I wish

creatures within that tropical buyas fhe you hold the key

any good in the meeting of creative meeting, Yeah, pittrum,
that's me.

Speaker 10 (01:29:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:29:39):
Last one got bad reviews, mind you, this show's got
bad reviews. But look at the numbers, that's all I say.
Look at the numbers.
