Instead of taking a long weekend after Waitangi Day, Kate Hawkesby and Tim Wilson joined Mike Hosking to Wrap the Week that was.
They discussed homeownership and Winston Peters’ potentially changing stance on foreign buyers, the number of kids going to school today, and if you should be able to have a helicopter pad in the suburbs.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Tim Wilson, Good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
That weekend thing, it's a bit like Taylor Swift, doesn't it?
Less is actually more? You don't want eighty four minutes
of Taylor Swift.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
You know, Travissey is that quite often? I understand Kate
Hawksby's with us. Good morning to.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
You, Good morning.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
The weekend looks nothing like Kanye. By the way, Hey,
can I just double check that I heard Winston correctly,
because he's very difficult to understand because he talks and riddles.
Did we just hear him dialing back his stance on
the foreign biby. I believe that's an announcement he's made
this morning.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
I believe that to be the case. I think we
might have if any of the other media are listening,
we might actually have a story there.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
I would have thought, so. I think that's a story.
And also all the real estate agents that have been
banging on about it for ages could be in fact correct.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
The interesting thing about it, and what I couldn't understand
is that for a bloke who's out in the world
now and he's always taken his foreign for fe his
portfolio very seriously and by all accounts, has always been
very good at it, and I just don't know how
you get out into the world spreading the mess that
we're open, we're interested, we want to grow the economy,
we're in deep stok all that sort of stuff. This
is his last rodeo, as he would so eloquently put it,
(01:09):
And so he needs to be re elected, and to
be re elected, he needs to fire up the economy.
And I think even he understands that now. And for
that you need some people with money, and the people
with money, you're international, and you can't start a business
and settle in New Zealand if you've got to go,
you know, get a two betty rental when actually you
can afford a twenty million dollar house.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
And so I think he's finally got on board with that.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Yeah, yeah, I think I think. Actually it's interesting. I was,
we were we're sort of looking for a new house,
and we talk into a real estate agent the other day.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Are you're very transient? Aren't you well.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Moved into the one you're in?
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
No, it was a couple of a couple of years ago,
a couple of years ago.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
But this real estate agent, I'm going to give you,
I'm going to give you to him I'm going to
give you five hundred dollars to the charity of your
choice if you can tell me what the average length
of ownership of a home in this country is and
why therefore you are unusual unusually shorten so.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Sore where we are. We're renting, okay, so we don't own.
We don't own this place. So you're what do you
want to chose the beds to? How long? You know
how long it is people rent.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
For no, two or three months?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
I can, I can. I can make up the stats
so we could get the five hundred. I'll just give
you my account now if you're.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Like, no, I don't do them. I don't do made upsetts.
So anyway, sorry, you're looking for a house, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah, but interesting because because the real estate agent we
were talking to, she's like, oh, I sold five last
week and this is supposed to be the flat the
flat period. So it's really that was that was surprising
for me in terms of just where the market's at,
because you're hearing a lot of stuff about the market
being sticky, but for some people it's not.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
No, that's interesting.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
What you need to do is give Mike your stats
in terms of things you're looking for? How many beds?
How many baths are out? This is Mike Sporte. He
does for all our friends. He does it for everybody.
He will find you a house because nobody is across
the real estate market more than Mike, and so he
really should be working in real estate, not radio to
be Tell him what you want, I guarantee you your
(03:12):
house by next year.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
How many beds? How many bathrooms?
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Here?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Okay to two bathrooms and.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Four beds, four beds, two barts, three barths?
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Are you going to afford it? I don't think you
want to crunch three bars.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
This is what happens to him. He's already trying to talk.
I've seen this firsthand.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
He did it.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
He did it with with our boss recently. And our
boss ended up, didn't he find Jason's house?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (03:40):
And and and what's more, he ended up moving to
a completely different area than where he was originally looking.
And the house was twice as big as what he
wanted and costs four times.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
But he's the whole thing. He loves it.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
He's but just to be fair, just the record, Jason,
Jason tell us he's broke, but he's happy. He loves
every minute of it. Hey, did you use just quick,
by the way, Tim, two years as your average rental
period in this country? Would you have guessed two years?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Well that's what what we are, five your average? Have
you got a please, that's the charity.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Have you got a reference?
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Oh yeah, we can get reference. So so you're you're our referee. Okay,
fair enough, we'll actually wait wait wait, Kate, Well that
open doors or closed doors to see how we go?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Good?
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Good question, Tim, without embarrassing you in any way, shape
or form or demeaning your parenting acumen or skill. Are
your children at school today?
Speaker 2 (04:43):
I just I just mentioned it for three kids that
that was off here to Sam and Kate. But three
kids in school uniforms? Yeah? Yeah, three kids in school
uniforms ready to go?
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Good man, I love your style. What percentage do you
think we'll be going to school around the country today?
Speaker 4 (05:00):
I was just out walking the dog in a number
of children in school uniforms walking to school. I wanted
to high five them. I was very impressed. So I
think potentially a few more than we think.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Hey, listen briefly, I reckon more like seventy five percent or.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Jews, that's high Actually, I'll give five hundred dollars to
the charity of your choice if you get that number. Morning, Mike,
what brand does your pham canon?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Where did you get it? Please?
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Good question. I'll come back to you that. Mike thoughts
on a nine nine six turbo low case future collective
question mark.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Not a bad question either. Jeez, I've got a lot
to do before.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Nine o'clocks turned it into a car show.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
It's not my fault.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
I'm just responding.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Unlike Mark Brown, Unlike Mark Brown, Prime Minister of the
Cook Islands, I answer to the people, and when they ask,
I answer anyway. Foam canon, Katie backed me up. Was
the foam cannon the greatest summer fun ever had?
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Well for you? I didn't use it, but it was
the best toy you bought. You had the most fun
with it.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
And effective?
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Yep, very effective.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
The question question, can can it be used on boys
aged nine to two?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I reckon.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
I remember if you foam canadam, you'd probably want to
start with a foam gun because of the pressure, pressure
and really hurt a small child, especially when you're not
over his feet. But but, but the foam aspect of it,
I cannot imagine more fun as a young lad in
my backyard if you can falld a backyard in your
mental of course, in my backyard being phoned.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Golly, send them around to Mike. He'll phone them up.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
That sounds that sounds good. Go get me.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
I've got a question for this morning. Do you think
we could start a petition to get New Zealand on
here to provide some funding for David Seymour to have
his own comedy show.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
He's very funny, exactly.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Read the Hill hilarious. Read the Herald and the transcript
of what happened to go.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
That's the transcript.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
It's it's like it's total he out coomedied the comedian
and and why some margin, unfortunately.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
By some margin. It's like Guy Williams brought a knife
to a gunfight. I think I think the issue is,
though Guy Williams is used to audiences of sort of
like a agreeable, disenfranchised thirty somethings giggling at crypto progressive
quote unquote jokes, whereas David Seymour is used to begger
more aggressive audiences, like he's used to being heckled, shouted down.
(07:13):
It's just he's just match.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
But And the thing about Parol guy is he's living
in an old media landscape where he thinks he can
turn up at white TANGI fire a few barbs, he'll
slice it back up in the editing facility and then
present it to you and in a in a way
that makes him look better than it is. And what
Seymour's doing that's so smart is he's micing up everything
and filming everything so you've already seen it before it
ever gets to a television program, which then leads you
(07:36):
to wonder how it is the taxpayer can afford a
million dollars I mean, to be here, it's nine hundred
and ninety nine thousand dollars to make Lord knows whatever
they call that thing.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
You know what you should? You should make an application, Mike,
I've got I've got an idea for you for a
comedic segment, which is that the next time you talk
to Winston Peters, can you remind him that you're same
as Hosking, not Hoskings with and then spell it out.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
That's the fun.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
He knows, he knows, he doesn't.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
He doesn't to rile me, because he's done it for
twenty years. To rile me up, and it just doesn't.
It just doesn't rile me. Just got a minute later.
You do you want to take this last sixty seconds
to defend the mowbras and the helicopter pad in suburban.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Yes, yes, yeah, I do, actually because I heard you
bagging that this week, or you claim you weren't bagging it,
but it sounds like you were saying people in suburban
areas shouldn't shouldn't apply for helicopter licenses, and I disagreed
with you and said, the hard working, good people doing
great things for this country, and if they want a
chopper now and again, why shouldn't they be allowed to?
Speaker 1 (08:39):
What's the criteria? So?
Speaker 3 (08:40):
How good, how hard working do you need to be
before you're allowed a helicopter license in suburbia?
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Well, I'm happy for them to have it, and I'm
happy for Roderke to have it, because these are people working,
putting a lot of business into our country. If they
want to chop it, this is the new Zealand attitude
that's got to change. We've got to stop poopooing everybody
and being so anti any sort of success and wanting
everybody to just you know, come down to a certain
level that we find acceptable. Why can't people be ambitious
(09:07):
and aspirational and do cool things?
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Is there a lot we're looking with That's why we're
looking to buy, not rent bomb.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Okay, no good, you're on that, you're on the up
and up. But is there a line between being aspirational,
ambitious and like really pissing off your neighbor.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
I think you'll find it her Bay. The line is theory,
very small change to change.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Helicopter is in suburbia, even in a colder second, even.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
In a colder second, west Man, bring it on.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Okay, you're not going to hear a lot of coverage
pro helicopter and colder sex. I think this is almost
