Speaker 2 (00:12):
Welcome to their new plans, new ideas we have. We've
got new rules for pig farming, you plan for our
flight industry, new dream and the luxury lodge mark it
also Jordi Barrett on beating Australia. Richard Arnold Murray olds
they pony up as well. Posky Friday Morning. Welcome to
at seven past six. Every three years the quote every
three years, the political goalposts move. Indeed, we call it
an election obviously, but the quote is from the infrastructure industry.

(00:35):
Their report out yesterday tells us the usual tale. The
pipeline or lack of it is an issue, and politics
gets in the way. It holds the country back. That
Treasury report we featured this week as well, tells us
pretty much the same thing. Their reports banned out over
forty years and talks of the fear that our debt
will be at two hundred percent of GDP if we
don't do something about it. We've got a lot of
big picture issues that we know our issues and yet

(00:58):
we haven't been able to crack them. This cup, to
be fair to it, has tried the big picture talk.
They have announced a pretty decent pipeline of longer term work,
and they've cited various countries that have a greater level
of political cooperation than we do. Certain sectors and projects
are handled by independent bodies that operate between governments. Projectors
agreed to that project is not interfered with of a
government changes. This week's example gave little hope, sadly, that

(01:21):
we have the maturity to try and change the way
we continue to shoot ourselves in the collective foot Luxe
and wrote to Hipkins about oil and gas exploration, can
we get cross party agreement? The problem being, although exploration
and applications about open, and we've got a couple hundred
million dollars of taxpayers money to get skin in the game,
the fear is that no one's signing up if you
don't know what the rules are going to be in
three years time. Hipkins said it was desperate. So that's

(01:44):
that then, isn't it? Which is a shame and Hipkin
should know better, act better and ask himself whether he
serves the country well with such a myopic response. No
one really is a fan of oil and gas, are they,
But surely we all agree it is a big help
between now and whenever the mills and solar panels and
batteries are up and running. Does he really prefer col
Can he not see that keeping the lights on is

(02:06):
kind of important? Can he not be the bigger person
about it? America, of course, is closed down currently because
the two sides hate each other. We aren't as bad,
but we could be an awful lot better, don't you think.
Surely it can't be so hard to put common economic
interest beyond simple party politics. Surely two major so called
center parties can't be so far apart that a basic

(02:30):
like power supply can't be dealt with in a sibyl
and collegial way.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
News of the world in ninety seconds.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Just joining us. Terrors come to Manchester overnight.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
Everybody else back if you do not inform.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Him the head of counter terror.

Speaker 4 (02:58):
Two people Coo dies the attacker who has been shot
dead by the police. We believe we know their identity.
Three other members of the public are in a serious condition.
We have also made two further arrests.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
The main Chaster police Chief.

Speaker 5 (03:15):
There will be lots of questions that people would like
answers to and quickly, but please understand that some of
this will take time. What I can say is that
the highly visible response to these dreadful incidents will be sustained.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
The Prime Minister and I promise you that this Briton
will come together to rup our arms around your community.
So the play is still closed down. Of course, Trump's
threatening irreversible layoffs the Dems wanted over.

Speaker 6 (03:43):
I think the President has been cutting programs and federal
employees since he took office from day one, so this
is nothing new, and I would hope that the President
would work with congressional leadership to bring people together.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
People still working at what's opening? What isn't having chunks
of nial parks for example?

Speaker 7 (04:00):
Aren't some of those parks have closed their hiking trails
due to the employees being furloughed just to prevent any
accidents from happening.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
That will take longer for them to respond.

Speaker 8 (04:13):
To since he would have to call people back into
the park to work.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Finally, UK hospow industry is looking to industry election QR
codes are their problem. You've seen some of these as
a few of them around in the country at the moment.
Start at Drafts. That's a London hot spot. They're walking
off the job every Saturday. They argue that the QR
codes are ruining restaurants, taking away any level of interaction,
and that customers actually hate it. It also takes away tips,
of course, so we'll see how it goes. That's news
of the world. In the ninety elon Musko Tonight, by

(04:39):
the way, wilds richest man. He's cracked the first it's
the first time ever in human history that a person
has been a half trillionaire, which is the stupidest title
I've ever heard. So I'd rather be a billionaire than
a half trillionaire. So five hundred billion dollars, but he
cracked five hundred billion yesterday, five hundred point one. It's
all on the Tesla share price of course, at dipped
over night to four nine nine, so technically it's not

(05:00):
even the first half trillionaire, but he's there all Thereabout
twelve past six.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, Power
by News talks.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Be good news from Afghanistan, and it's not often we
say that the Taliban have turned the Internet back on.
They turned it off earlier on this week, and interestingly enough,
the people hit the street and protested, which I wouldn't
have thought was a thing in Afghanistan because you would
have got shot. But anyway, the Taliban we're watching the
left turned it back on, so they'll be happy. Fourteen
past set.

Speaker 9 (05:31):
Gay Bers from Shore and Partners.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
There's Friday Morning. Andrew Kalahar, Good morning, very good morning,
Michael Warehouse. It's a grind, isn't it.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
It is a grind.

Speaker 10 (05:42):
I mean, you know, the Warehouse still, I would argue,
I think you'd probably agree, still one of the most
recognizable retail brands in New Zealand. But yeah, they've been
battling a bit over the last couple of years. A
tough operating environment, but you know they've also got some
internal challenges. So yesterday they reported their twenty twenty five
financial year results and yes, tough as the word, the

(06:02):
earnings outcome has improved. Result was a little bit better
than analyst expectations. I mean they guided to a result
of sort of five million either side of zero, so
somewhere between minus five million and plus five million.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
Final operating gross.

Speaker 10 (06:17):
Profit came in at one point three their gross margins
fell again. Arguably they're a little bit better than expected.
One good note if you're just for some timing considerations.
The debt levels also reduced. We was like to see
that Red Shed sales at one point four percent, but
gross margins down. Blue Shed small fallen sales, gross margins down.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
There. He's a bright light though. Nol Leaming sales up
three point three percent. Yeah, that's good.

Speaker 10 (06:43):
Good, So there's one sort of one highlight. They also
reported on their sales in the first seven weeks of
the new financial year.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
So how's this has started? Well? Similar to last year?
Coach John Withers.

Speaker 10 (06:58):
I think summed up then environment quite well, tough and unpredictable.
If you talk take a step back, it's a pretty
subdued result, really, Mike it and it does reflect that
operating environment and the flickers of growth here are few
and far between. They made another comment early signs of improvement,
but they are cautious about the speed of recovery, and

(07:19):
I think our conversations that we've been having would echo
that sentiment.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
Look, sales did.

Speaker 10 (07:23):
Lift, but look big picture of you here, Mike, on
a very simple measure, this business has three point one
billion dollars worth of sales. Three point one billion. They
made one point three million dollars of profit. That's an
awful lot of work for very little outcome. So the
wear house really needs to figure out what is its
pathway to profitability?

Speaker 3 (07:44):
How do they make this business?

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Hum, let's feel really good then about ourselves, and just
remind us how well Australia's doing it.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
At the moment, I couldn't help. I just got drawed
to you.

Speaker 10 (07:55):
I sit here all day and I stare at the numbers,
and they occasionally numbers pop up and you go, hey,
what's the This was oussy household spending. Five percent lift
in household spending, and I thought, well, here's our AUSSI
names they're not so different from us.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
But that number looks pretty healthy, doesn't, I ask the question?
Well as it?

Speaker 10 (08:11):
I mean, on the face of it, it looks like
a number we could only dream of. Look, it does
hide a slightly slowing trend in the last couple of
months over there last month only up to zero point
one percent. But regardless of that, five percent looks pretty healthy.
Good spending did decline. Services spending still looks good. You've
got to remember in the background, Mike, what have they got.
They've got sort of slightly better labor market. They've also

(08:33):
they're seeing house prices go up in various places, some
places you know, reasonably healthy as well, so that brings
that wealth effect. So yes, we're still we're still in
second place on that front.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Okay, Barfoot and Thompson. Now this is funny anecdotally. I
was driving around the neighborhood the other day and I
saw there's signs up on the foot path there. Suddenly
there's a lot of sold signs on. So I would
have said to you, if you'd said to me of
things moving in Auckland, I always said, yes they.

Speaker 10 (08:57):
Are, yeah, and they do appear to be, so sort of,
I suppose talking about the Aussie house price is going nice,
nice realy segue into our local housing market or feedback
from our local housing market. So these are numbers from
Barfort and Thompson. Admittedly it is only Auckland, but that
is a big part of the New Zealand market. They
had a good little lift in sales in Auckland and September.
But the thing is, Mike, here's the thing. We need

(09:19):
this because the amount of stock on the market is
pretty substantial, so.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
You need sales to reduce that supply.

Speaker 10 (09:25):
So one of the numbers, Barfington Thomson sold one thousand
and thirty two residential properties in September. That's five percent
more than September last year. It's also the highest September
number for Barfets since September twenty twenty. So we'll celebrate
that the medium price trend lower. But here's the thing.
How many listings did they get Mike in September? One thousand,

(09:47):
seven hundred and eighty one, so they sold one thousand
and thirty two, but another one thousand, seven hundred and
eighty one new listings. That is also the most they've
seen since September twenty twenty. There's stock levels now at
a seventeen year high, so there's plenty of choice out
there if you're.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
Buying a house, give me some numbers.

Speaker 10 (10:06):
Yeah, So US market, they've still got the shut down there. Gosh,
we can only guess hell and that's going to last.
I don't think you're going to get non finn payal
numbers this weekend. The Dale Jones is also quiets down
six points forty six thousand, three hundred and forty six thousand,
four hundred and thirty five is the number. The S
and P five hundred down five points, also very quiet.

(10:26):
Sixty seven oh five quarters percent gain on the Nastak though,
so that's fifty seven.

Speaker 3 (10:31):
Points twenty two thousand, eight hundred and twelve. The forts one.

Speaker 10 (10:34):
Hundred lost point two percent overnight, nine four to two seven.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
The nick A up three hundred and eighty five points.
That's looking good.

Speaker 10 (10:41):
Point eight seven percent forty four thousand, nine hundred and
thirty six. Also a half percent gain in the Shanghaw
composite three eight eighty two. The assists yesterday gained over
one percent. Is a nice left on the A six
two hundred eight nine four five are closed there and
the ends at.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
X fifty, which is having quite a it's having a
healthy week.

Speaker 10 (10:58):
It's up point one three percent yesterday thirteen four hundred
and fifty one ken we point five eight one nine
against the US point eight eight two five, Ossie point
four nine six eight Euro point four to three to
three zero against the pound eighty five points sixty three.
Japanese yen gold is still strong as locks three eight
four five.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
The number there and break crude.

Speaker 10 (11:15):
Lower yeah, lower, yeah, but to me, how much sixty
four sixty just over?

Speaker 3 (11:21):
Actually, let's round it down. I'll make myselves feel good.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
Well, have a good weekend. Andrew Keller a sure and
Partners past gave Sheen shine. They've chosen France. They're going
bricks and mortar. I told you bricks and mortars a
long way from when when the biggest Internet player in
the world or one of them decides to open bricks
and mortar. You know, bricks and mortar's a good place
to be. Anyway, They've decided France is the place for
fairly obvious reasons. They're going to be in concessions and

(11:45):
department stores. They're going to eventually open up once they've
done Paris and dejaonn Em, those sort of places influential
global fashion. I hate Sheen. I hate what it stands for.
I hate everything about it. We look at their bags,
as telling Ryan before, if you look at their bags,
they're just a direct ripoff of Chanel. And I'm into
intellectual property and artistry and designers, and all these people
do is come along and rip people off. I hated

(12:07):
six twenty one your news talks EPO.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
The Vike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered

Speaker 2 (12:23):
Now help me out. There's a toymaker called jelly Cats,
so they produced their revenue yesterday. Revenues hit four hundred
and fifty million dollars and started in nineteen ninety nine
by a guy called Thomas Gatika. This is in Britain
and he does huggable soft toys for about I don't know,
thirty five forty dollars you buy a bashful Beije Bunny,
or if you want to spend six or seven hundred
dollars you get in Amusables, Nord Expruce Pine and Christmas Tree.

(12:44):
His revenue is up sixty six percent and it's all
being driven by kiddlts who buy these soft toys. Positive
mental health benefits their jellies and they're sold in eight
thousand shops around eighty countries, so I'm assuming they're here.
So a we enter the jellies, do we know what
jellies are? And why is a cadult? Would you buy
a soft squeezable toy? And what would you do with it?

Speaker 11 (13:05):
So is this sort of squash mallows all over again?

Speaker 2 (13:07):
I don't know what that is. I don't know what
a squash mellow is and I don't know what a
jelly is. I can guess what they are, but I
mean it's massive business, half a billion dollars worth of business,
and cadults are buying them. Has been driven by adults
who want to feel good about themselves six twenty five.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
It's a trending now with chemist ware house great savings
every day.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
It's right into the American political landscape, specifically Tennessee. This
morning got a recent poll, what are the big issues
in Tennessee? Well, the gun violence, obviously, economic crisis, farm
is getting hit, and jobs. Unfortunately, Republican Gino Bolso's into
none of that. He's busy trying to reverse a law.
The law is not being allowed to marry your first cousin.

Speaker 12 (13:46):
There is no compelling state interests to prohibit a male
first cousin for marrying a male first cousin.

Speaker 13 (13:55):
Thank you.

Speaker 14 (13:55):
I would say that public health is not visited in
my bill at all. It's just you can't marry your cousins. Representativetive.
If you want, as your amendment suggested, first couple the
first cousins to marry, that's fine for you.

Speaker 12 (14:10):
And the fact of the matter is that unless anyone
in this body can articulate a compelling interest to deny
a male first cousin for marrying a male first cousin,
this bill demonstrably violates Obergefell and we should vote it down.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
Good Old Tennessee eighteen percent was sitting at this Friday morning.
As far as they turn out in the local body elections,
Wayne Brown, the Auckland mayor, I think quite rightly yesterday
specifically for Auckland, just said, does Auckland actually know there
is a local body election on? I think he was
being serious. I can't believe there's not a person in
this country that doesn't understand this local body election on.
I can understand that people can't be bothered or you've

(14:51):
got a million excuses like I've moved house, or it
was lost in the letterbox, or they've lost my number,
or whatever the case. May or you just plane can't
be bothered. Rurals doing well twenty four percent, Provincial twenty
one percent, Metro at sixteen percent, got a couple of
other interesting numbers around those. Maori wards for you in
a couple of moments. Then we've got new rules and
substantial new ruals actually for the New Zealand pig industry.

(15:13):
So we'll outline those for you.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
The newsmakers and the personalities, the big names. Talk to
Mike the mic Hosking Breakfast with Bailey's Real Estate covering
all your real estate needs news Togstead be just.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
Remind us how mediocre. And to wrap up this local
body election, the numbers are encouraging, that's what the local
government people are saying. Numbers are encouraging for vote turn
out so far. Why at eighteen percent could that possibly
be encouraging? Well, because that this time in twenty twenty
two the number was ten point five, so it's better
than it was, but it's still just hopeless.

Speaker 13 (15:44):
Anyway.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
The thing that I'm looking forward to, if you can
say you're looking forward to anything to come out of
the local body elections is the result of these Maori
ward votes. Now, obviously I'm not a fan of Maori wards.
There's no need for them, but some councils are putting
them to the vote, and so that at least is
a form of democracy. So the people with the Mari
ward at the moment, the return rate is nineteen point eight,

(16:07):
which is a bit higher than average, but not much.
I just wonder if there's a little bit of a
freshant about it. But the rural community well done. Twenty
four percent in provincial twenty one. It's putting the city
to shame. Twenty three minutes away from seven right, Speaking
of rural welfare rules, new welfare rules for our pig
farming industry, which is a seven hundred million dollar operation.
Minimum spacing requirements will rise thirteen percent time and farohing

(16:29):
crates will drop from thirty three days to seven. So
that's major has taken five years of consultation, makes us
one of the strictest operators in the world. Andrew Hoggard's
in charge of this, Associate Minister of Agriculture and Animal Welfare.

Speaker 13 (16:41):
Morning, Good morning, Mike.

Speaker 8 (16:42):
This needed doing, yes, it did really important that the
industry was given some certainty around what their future looks like.
They've been living in a bit of a limbo land
since effectively twenty twenty or perhaps even twenty eighteen. It
had been really heading confidence in the sector and also

(17:04):
people's thoughts or plans around succession and where they move
forward to. So it gives the industry held a lot
of certainty as to how.

Speaker 13 (17:12):
To move forward.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
Why did it take five years?

Speaker 8 (17:15):
Well, the Nework Review started in I think twenty twenty. Obviously,
when I got the role early twenty four it landed
on my desk and I said, well, this is going
to affect the industry quite badly. These recommendations as they were,
and the industry was definitely not happy with them. So

(17:36):
set MPI and to negotiate or to talk to the
industry as to what would be workable while still moving
welfare forward. That took a bit of time, and then
the rest of the time has been worked out and
how the hell do we make this happen. The big
challenge was the fact that the previous government had used
already used a transition time up and the money allowed

(17:59):
to do during the Act. So hence, while we landed
on okay, we've actually got to take regulations to the
House so that I can give a second transition period
so that these farmers can actually make these changes, because
they're not going to be simple changes. They may involve
having to rebuild facilities and all the rest of it,
which will probably require consents and all that. So this

(18:20):
is not a simple thing that the industry can certainly
click its fingers and magically move to a new system.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
Hence we've got till twenty thirty five. Having said all
of that, the hearder you make it, where does that
leave imported meat versus local meat? And have you hobbled
the industry?

Speaker 8 (18:34):
No, the industry. My feedback from the industry is they
can do this. They just they needed something that was achievable.
They felt that this was achievable and also that certainty
and that transition period was really important. Was the feedback
I'd gotten.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
All right, mate, go well, have a good weekend. Andrew Hoggard,
Associate Minister of Agriculture. Mike, jellycats could be anything like
a tennis ball, a muff in, a sushi, but the
difference is they have their own names with distinctive features.
Very big in Australia. Thank you for that. Twenty to
seven The.

I recently spent hours in Auckland, Wellington, trying to find
one at the request of my daughter from a newborn
granddaughter and couldn't get one anywhere. I think they're about

(20:11):
fifty dollars each, which is great business. Yet, Mike, we
can import pork continu New Zealand with no guarantees on
welfare requirements. Someone else's fantastic news for the pig industry.
Might crazy crazy the code change for the pork industry
and carrying major cost on farmers, closing half the industry
but still allowing seventy percent of the market of imported
pork not needing to follow the same standard. But you
don't want to be you don't want to race to

(20:33):
the bottom. I mean, our story surely is about quality.
We're not about quantity. We're not about cheap We're about quality.
And why would you want to have a race to
the bottom.

Speaker 9 (20:41):
Sixteen to two International correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance.
Peace of mind for New Zealand business.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
Mary Richard Arnold, good morning, good morning, might take it.

Speaker 15 (20:51):
We're not open yet, of course, not us Senate also
taking the day off for the holiday Jewish New Year. Right,
they are getting paid, however, as the White House says, layoffs,
formal layoffs and firings of government workers will begin very
soon as now day two of the shutdown. Government analysts
ess tomate that approximately seven hundred and fifty thousand federal
employees will be furloughed, affecting many, many everyday folks like

(21:15):
this woman.

Speaker 13 (21:16):
Things went up, so I'm already juggling it paycheck to paycheck.

Speaker 15 (21:19):
However, the police seem to be getting nowhere. They are fingerpointing.
Of course you're responsible, No you did, No, you're the one.
Healthcare is the dividing issue. Enrollment in Obama's affordable care
markets is more than doubled in recent times. Those subsidies,
costing about twenty three billion US next year, is set
to expire, leading to sharp increases in healthcare costs for

(21:41):
more than twenty million folks, maybe two million losing coverage entirely.
These higher health costs, in some cases could bring increases
of more than one thousand bucks US a month. However,
there was this hot moment for speaker Johnson, who was
being verbally targeted by Democrat Medal and Dean.

Speaker 8 (21:58):
Here it is the President is on finished, is unwell.

Speaker 3 (22:02):
What are you fos on your side are too?

Speaker 15 (22:04):
Trump is unhinged, she says, and speak of Johnson replies,
a lot of people on your side are too. I'm
thinking that was not meant to be on tape. Meantime,
we find that Team Trump is having fun as it.
They've been running on a loop in the White House
briefing room. Today, the AI generated fake video showing Jeffries,
who was black, you know, a Mexican sombrero hat with

(22:25):
the hat dance music playing in the background, suggestion being
that the Dems want to give free cast for legals,
which is not the policy at all. However, Trump has
put out two fake videos currently, one with them saying
in crude language that they will do anything for votes,
to which Jeffreys responded, it's a.

Speaker 4 (22:40):
Disgusting video and we're going to continue to make Claire
bigotry will get you nowhere.

Speaker 15 (22:45):
So the Trump team then took that response and gave
that the Mexican hat dance treatment as well.

Speaker 4 (22:51):
We are fighting to protect the healthcare of the American
people in the face of in uns precedent.

Speaker 15 (22:57):
So my people may be suffering, but the country using
the very best of hands.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
Now, Laguardi is busy and these incidents continue.

Speaker 16 (23:05):
They sure do.

Speaker 15 (23:06):
They got lucky in this one, only one injury after
two Delta jets crashed while taxiing at New York Laguardium.
One Delta Airlines jet was getting ready to take off.
Another had just landed, and those on board say it
was moving at a decent clip when they hit. Both
planes have extensive damage. The right wing of one jet
slammed into the nose and cockpit of the other. The
wind screen of that plane was completely shattered and its

(23:27):
nose was banged up. A huge part of the other
jet's wing was torn off. On Board passenger William Lust says,
they absolutely smashed into each other.

Speaker 3 (23:36):
Oh suddenly, field breaks go on.

Speaker 6 (23:37):
If you see this object turn across the left side
of the plane, when you feel the front of the
planes kind of get.

Speaker 15 (23:42):
Dragged, everyone also shot forward in the seats.

Speaker 16 (23:45):
He says.

Speaker 15 (23:45):
There were ninety three people on board the two planes,
and the passengers were currently taken off the aircraft right
there on the taxiway. What comes to mind, though, is
that there has, as you were indicate, been a spike
of these incidents of late. We're also in the throes
of couse of the federal gum when we shut down
the country's thirteen thousand air traffic controllers are working without
pay until the government funding is sorted out.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
Yeah, good week in mate Richard Arnold state, So just
a couple of things out of America before we leave it.
Hunters Thompson died a number of years ago, of course,
in February in two thousand and five. They've reopened the
case at the request of his widow. There is no
suggestion that the ship they've got questions. Basically, by bringing
in an outside agency for a fresh look, we hope
to provide a definitive and transparent review that may offer

(24:29):
peace of mind to his family and the public. His
son found the body. He shot himself while he was
on the phone to his wife. Investigation found no evidence
of any foul play. Meantime, also in court, and the
bloke who's been suing Nirvana a couple of times over
has lost a second go. The bloke is he's a

(24:50):
guy called Eldon. He's now thirty four, but he's the
baby on the album cover the nineteen ninety one album
never Mind the Naked Baby. He sued them for pornograph. Basically,
other than the fact that the plaintiff was nude on
the album coverass of the judge, nothing comes close to
bringing the image within the end. But of the child
pornography statute. It had another go another time. It was

(25:11):
at Widdle at the Pasadena Aquatic Center in California, swimming
naked towards the dollar bill and a fishop very famous.
Of course, he sued the band plus Universal back in
twenty one, lost then loss. Now ten minutes away from seven.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
For the mic asking breakfast with the land Rover Defender
and use togs dead b Let's.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
Keep you up to speed with Manchester and I here's
the Home Secretary.

Speaker 17 (25:33):
I know that there are many questions that are still
to be answered, and rest assured they will be answered
as quickly as possible.

Speaker 18 (25:42):
What I do want to say is to those who
seek to divide us, they will fail.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
Yeah, that's sort of what politicians say at this particular
point in time, isn't it. Boonham who's been in the
news all week. Of course because of the Labor Party conference.
He is still the mirror of Manchester.

Speaker 19 (25:57):
We always, we'll stand together here in Greater Manchester and
we will never let acts that are designed to cause
hatred division in our community's violence. We will never let
them succeed. And that's our message tonight to everybody across
great monster, do not let them succeed asking.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
By the way, as far as I know, it's the
first major study into chet GPT in the States and
the job market. Remember they said, oh my god, Anthropic
were one of them, a leading AI lab. They warned
that this was back in May, that AI was going
to cause a dramatic there word, not mine, a dramatic
spike in unemployment. They've had a look at it. So far.
Chet GBT has been around since twenty twenty two. Does

(26:41):
that surprise you? Surprise me? Three years old? Anyway, it's
made no difference to the workforce, the general workforce specifically.
I mean you go into tech areas and stuff like that, sure,
but in the general workforce so far, it's made no difference.
Whatso wherever Mike thoughts on Lawson's chances this weekend's very
good question. Three names by the way, speaking of Lawson
for Melbourne next year in association with our very good

(27:01):
friends at Visa. So five hundred dollars today, and of
course the names will go and the dra I'm not
going to give the names right now, but I'll do
them later on the program. So Singapore is a funny
old track. I'm not a fan of it. Personally, I
don't like street tracks just generally because they're made up
because they's streets, not circuits. But anyway, it's wet, so wet,
I mean it's generally wet because it always rains in
Singapore at some point. So the wet, very bumpy track

(27:22):
got a couple of dr rest zones, new drras zomes
in there, so they put it a little bit of
extra straight in there for some speed, so pit stops.
What it's all about, what I'm saying is it's one
of those places where anything can happen. And in a
place where anything can happen, that tends to favor teams
that have got their act together. And you would have
to argue that racing balls at the moment have got

(27:43):
their act together and they come in with a bit
of moo out of bakou and so it could be
a very good weekend for Liam Lawson five to seven.

Speaker 9 (27:51):
All the ins and the outs.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
It's the fizz with business favor. Take your business productivity
to the next level.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
Now if you want to go to Disney World, but hey,
waiting in line for the rides, there's never been a
bit of time to go. Despite them claiming attendance hasn't
changed in revenue is up. Well, we've got figures to
show something different. Attendance is currently at an all time
low for the year, so it is based on the
wake times for riotes now. For the first three weeks
of September, wait times were an average of twenty four minutes,
which is the lowes since twenty twenty one came off

(28:20):
of slow August, where wake times were twenty eight minutes.
July was thirty can't blame the weather, Sunnay thirty one.
At the moment in Florida, weekends are currently busier than
week days, which hasn't been the way of late apparently.
So if you go on the weekends at the moment,
you can add ten to twenty No, you can't. You
can add ten to twelve of wake time per ride.
The attraction park experts say the lull could be linked

(28:43):
to the back to school schedules because they've all gone
out of summer and back to school the peak hurricane season,
But they also say they can't point to whites declining
since July and all of this while Florida is actually booming.
They've seen an increase in tourism. They've had thirty four
and a half million visitors between April and June, which
is up on last year numbers. So they're back and
back with alacrity. They're just not going to Disney World.

(29:05):
I don't know what any of that means really, to
be fair with you, we hired two people and a
woman came along with a stroller when we went to
Disneyland in the West Coast. And you hire two people,
random people, Disneyland will do it for you four thousands.
So it's a que jumping service they offer. And you
can pay literally thousands to Disneyland, or you can go
on to I suppose it's the black Market. And we
went on to the black Market and we hired two women.

(29:28):
One of them turned up with a pram and we thought,
is this odd? Didn't seem not anyway. So you put
all your stuff in the pram and they wheel your
stuff around and one of them you tell them what
you're going to go for and what you want to
go for, and one of them runs off ahead and
stands in the line and gets sorted out, while the
other one goes to the next one. So you go
basically from ride one to ride too, to ride through,
to ride for, to ride five. It's quite a good system.

(29:49):
I don't know whether you are, you know, jurymandering it.

Speaker 20 (29:52):
But we had an interruption at the highest level. Could
be a couple of weeks out of the reason the
queues are so long in the.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
First it could well be that. Could well be that,
but we didn't really worry about that as we walked
past people and went, oh, you're in the queue.

Speaker 11 (30:03):
That's why it's the happiest place on it.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
That's why it's the happiest place on earth. This Marory
Party thing. Interested in this, this meltdown in the Marory Party.
Have a look at this after the news, which is.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
Next credible, compelling The breakfast show you can't miss. It's
the mic asking breakfast with Vida, Retirement, Communities, Life your
Way News togs.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
He'd be only seven past seven. So let's get some
insight into how much of a mess the Marory Party
you're in at the moment. The protest movement to tidity
are officially distancing themselves from the party that they well,
they're seen as major allies up until this point, and
then you've got the problem with labor. Of course, it's Flabbel,
former co leaders with US Morning.

Speaker 21 (30:39):
Mate, Are you.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
Very well eru karpa Key? I don't know him, do you.
He seems like a very affable, likable sort of bloke,
very articulate.

Speaker 21 (30:48):
Yeah, that's a good summary of them. Very articulate, very
clear about what he's about, very confident, young, energitic, is
nice young me.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
Okay, So is he is he? I mean, what's your
What I couldn't work out yesterday was is he just
trying to distance himself? So, in other words, what he's
saying is we don't want to be aligned with one group,
we want to be our own people. Or is he
going there's something fundamentally wrong with the Maory Party.

Speaker 13 (31:13):
Yeah? Probably two issues.

Speaker 21 (31:14):
I mean one, I think it's fair to say that
that he does he. I mean the statement that he's
made is politicians need to stop being activists and activists
need to stop being politicians, which I think is a
fair call. So, and in that regard trying to separate
out the movement that he set up today he said
that that's their focus around the obligations to the Treaty

(31:38):
of Waiting and keeping those at the forefront of the
New Zealand society. And then the second part, of course
is what is the point of the political movement in
parliament and how can they best achieve goals for the
best interest solve the nation.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
Is the dictatorship thing? The thing is that your observation
that they got a problem around that.

Speaker 21 (31:58):
Yeah, look, I sort of have been involved too much
with the party at that level since I left. But
on the face of it, you'd say there's a few
things going on off the back of the things that
have happened the last couple of weeks, you know, the
whole issue with Pug, with the Ferris, the removal of
moder Minnamurra Mina as whip, and this sort of statement

(32:20):
sort of feels the fire in a sense that there
are a few issues going on. The unwillingness of some
of the leadership to talk to media. I mean, there
was a wonderful occasion when on any creat Potter was
both into the Parliament and yet pretty much told not
to speak or wasn't allowed to speak, or other people

(32:41):
took over. So on the face of it, you'd say
there's a few things going on. How deep and how
wide that is, I'm not exactly close enough to be
able to give you and informed of.

Speaker 2 (32:50):
The real problems with Labor, isn't it. I mean, how
did Labor explain Maori Party? Two? Why did New Zealand
who are thinking these guys are crazy and we want
nothing to do with them.

Speaker 21 (33:00):
I think that's fair. You know, I did learn a
few things in parliament. One of them. One of them
is is that you maintain relationships despite very differences of you.
You know, not as if the Mighty Party was aligned
with the National Party back in the day when I
was in at the time of Studdy and n PTA
as well, but you got on and you had relationships
with people, knowing full well. And unless you are a

(33:22):
part of the governing party, you get nothing. And now
people expect a lot from mary MPs, in particular in
the Maori Party. They expect them to bring get some other,
get some action done, not only through legislation, but in
terms of turning around the living conditions that many people
suffer at the moment. So I think, as I say,
I think the point around politicians being politicians made by

(33:43):
edit a fair call.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
Good stuff man, nice to catch up, appreciated to uu
a flabel format to party Mari co leader ten minutes
past seven. More labors for the wide and New Zealand populations.
Really more labours problem that is the Maori Party. Isn't
it mean? Married party can do whatever they want. Most
people vote for them, so it doesn't really matter. But Lave,
we've got a credit ability issue on their hands. Right,
new plan to boost our freight industry and listen to this,
it's so exciting. We've got an MZTA backed action plan

(34:08):
which focuses on maximizing economic value and infrastructure. New freight
Advisory council. Who doesn't want an advisory council that'll coordinate road, rail,
air and sea. Airports are into it. Billy Moore's the
chief executive New Zealand Airports Association, is back with there's
Billy morning. Good morning does mean anything? Should I be excited?

Speaker 11 (34:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 22 (34:26):
Another action plan right, and another council. Look, I normally
be first to agree with you that this seems to
be another go round, but I think this is Chris Bishop.
He gets stuff done and it's capturing lancy and air.
So we really keen to see what we can get
done with it.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
Why haven't we done this before?

Speaker 22 (34:45):
Well, it's a good question. We had a pretty good
process over COVID to really understand the importance of fright
links to New Zealand. We had slight supported make sure
all that stuff kept flowing. But one of the big
questions for people like myself is how you bank that
knowledge and the public service long term so that it's
not just lost and that we don't just think about

(35:07):
freight during a crisis. So there's a good question why
we haven't done it before, but good to see it's
carrying through now into something hopefully a bit more permanent.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
Is there intersector rivalry? Do you know CV road, EVYC
that sort of stuff or not you'll cooperate.

Speaker 22 (35:23):
Yeah, I don't think so. I don't think there is.
I think the challenge is that all of these things
are managed in a separate way within government. Obviously, their
focus is on roading because that's where most of the
money has to go, and again this will be run
out of MVTA, so that's the roading focus. But so
we have to kind of have these overarching things to

(35:44):
bring all those modes together. There's only so much you
can achieve through the huge investments going on all clind
and christ Your airports for instance, on cargo right now
if the road in connections to those airports aren't good enough.
So that's the kind of stuff that we're going to
be looking at.

Speaker 7 (35:58):
I like it.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
You sold me well. I'm Billy Billy Moore, the chief
executive of New Zealand the Airport's Association. See that's another example,
was explaining it earlier in the week. You look at
someone like Bishop is getting stuff done. Now do you
swing a vote because of that?

Speaker 13 (36:08):
Nay?

Speaker 2 (36:09):
But there's just a lot of good, common sense stuff
being done at the moment thirteen past sevenscar like, how
are the elections in Moldover, Well, my friend, come on,
this is last week's news. Moldover sorted out over the weekend.
The Moldovians turned out with alacrity. Actually, the turnout was
a lot better than name New Zealand local body election.
The fear was the Russian backed forces would up end

(36:30):
the people who currently run Moldover. It didn't happen and
the people who do run Moldover, the pro Moldovians, won
and they won a majority in there. I can't remember
whether it was one o two or one oh three
seat parliament, but they had fifty something so they got
back in power thirteen.

Speaker 11 (36:44):
But bit more importantly, what's happening in I like.

Speaker 13 (36:47):
To more of it.

Speaker 2 (36:48):
Madagascar are still rioting and still writing on the streets,
and Ragalina is still meeting with the young people. So
it's Nepal two point zero. So you've got trouble in Nepal.
You've got trouble in Madagascar. But things practically have been
so we still don't have Malawi, actually do we. Last
time I checked with Malawi, they were still counting. But
the bloke, the eighty five year old was winning. But

(37:08):
where was I? So Moldover's ticked off, Malawi's tik tok
almost ticked off. Nepal's a problem. The Taliban have turned
on the internet and was at it. Madagascar still a fourteen.
There's not a place in the world that we don't cover.
Fourteen past seven.

At b Jordi Barrett shortly out of Perth seventeen past.
The car industry has got some life, some numbers for
you in a moment, sales up, new brands though opening
business here. We've got five new brands from China in
the last two months, dong Feing. They're the latest three BEVs,
got the Box, got the Vega, Got the Double O.
Seven dealership is going to be open in Auckland, Wellington,
christ Church later this year. Simon Rutherford's the boss add

(37:54):
Auto Distributors in New Zealand and is with us.

Speaker 16 (37:56):
Good morning, Good morning to you, Mike. Thanks for having
me on the show.

Speaker 2 (37:59):
Great pleasure. This has got to end in tears, doesn't it.
I mean, five new brands in two months. There's no
way we can sustain that many car brands, is there.

Speaker 16 (38:07):
I think there'll be a reshuffling of the pack, so
undoubtedly be a lot of turmoil in the industry, and
we're already experiencing that.

Speaker 2 (38:16):
What are the I mean, the logistics of opening your doors,
providing back up servicing, warranties, people hiring all of that.
I mean, it's a big ask. It's not just a
matter of having a car and turning up, is it.

Speaker 16 (38:26):
Yes, we've been working on this for some time, so
obviously all those back end logistics, systems training, you know,
just even configuring the showrooms and systems is all working pay.
So you know, we're really excited about where we are.
With that, we wouldn't have been committing to an opening
time in the fourth quarter unless we're already.

Speaker 2 (38:47):
Indeed, So, how does it work in terms of people
buying cars? Do we have any hard data in the
sense do I buy a car from a brand I've
never even heard of?

Speaker 13 (38:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 16 (38:58):
I think that what we've seen a recognition that the
you know, the Chinese market is hugely competitive. Chinese consumers
themselves are very very demanding, and you just can't succeed.

Speaker 13 (39:11):
You know.

Speaker 16 (39:11):
I lived and worked in China about ten years ago,
and obviously I've been back on recent trips and the
transition is quite phenomenal where Chinese you know, Chinese consumers
are recognizing that they have better products and they'll choose
what they want. So I think that's probably my barometer
of what's going on.

Speaker 2 (39:29):
Are they dumping.

Speaker 13 (39:32):
Now?

Speaker 16 (39:32):
I don't think there's there's dumping. There's certainly a strategy
to expand an export from purely domestic and we've seen
that start over probably the last ten years to different degrees.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
Are we going to see a price war here the
sort of price what we're seeing in places like Europe.

Speaker 16 (39:51):
I think we're already seeing that to some degree, Mike.
It's extremely competitive out there. There's also other elements in
you know, the kind of ecosystem them around achieving COTOU targets,
and we're actually a little bit behind where we need
to be on that. Yeah, you know as a country,
I'm sure you're well away over that.

Speaker 2 (40:09):
Exactly are we going to test the market in terms
of see, evs aren't that hot here and you've suddenly
got five brands, five more brands just selling evs. I mean,
that's really a test for the market and appetite.

Speaker 16 (40:22):
Isn't it. Yes, I think it is. I think that
we're at this sort of there is a little bit
of a tipping point. If you'd asked me three to
four years ago, I would have said that, yeah, there
was a that wasn't an acceptance of evs at all.
But if you look at the market, it's already shifted
to a sort of state where people certainly is perhaps
the second car and the garage are very much willing

(40:44):
to consider an ev And even this year, although we
sort of don't talk about it too much, there has
still been a shift of about ten percent out of
pure ice into something electrified. So you know, the transition
was always going to take time. And the other thing
I think is worth mentioning is that you know bands
like Don Sung, they're not just ev whilst we're bringing

(41:06):
three vs in initially, they're multi energy and they cater
to multiple segments.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
All all, all right, Simon, appreciate your time. You have a
good week in Simon Rutherford Auto Distributors. The commercial numbers

Earthquake rules and reform six. The big win for the
government this week lives back to normal, common sense restored.
None of it was hard, and yet look at the
damage the old rules had done. Are the power industry reformed?

Speaker 21 (43:04):
For see?

Speaker 2 (43:06):
The weak point for the government this week not that
any of it was bad, because it wasn't. But what
it also wasn't was what they had built it up
to be. Jimmy Kimmel's seven his back ratings are up
and all the stations are back down. Funny that and
a sign that free speech wins, which is ironic given
those who shut him up pretended they like free speech

She was due to leave this weekend, but Emirates have
canceled all their flights due to the civil unresh. She's
managed to get a flight out on Nairobi Air, with

(44:51):
a couple of connecting flights to get back. She's lucky
as options are rapidly running out. Well there you go.
That's what's happening on the ground in Madagascar, Michael. These
real cars electric rubbish. Well you're conflating two issues. Yes,
the real cars? Are they electric rubbish? Maybe? Maybe not.
My great fear is, as Jeremy Clarkson so eloquently puts it,
basically you're buying white goods these days because what you

(45:14):
pay and what you'll get back after a couple of
years is driving around in these bad Firstly, half the
brands will only last a week and a half and
then they'll go out of business. And then you'll go
back to what was once the shop you brought the
car from, and they go, well, sorry, we're not here anymore,
and you go, what about the bits? What about the parts?
What about the backup service? What about the value? What
about a trade? All of those questions. All of this
is unfolding interesting times now. Jordi Barrett the Rugby how

was great, but it's great to be here. The sun's
been out so far this week. Yeah, low twenty degrees.
We're expecting a call a weekend, but it's good to
be in Australia.

Speaker 2 (46:43):
And what about this whole competition have you settled in?
You know, you've got a rhythm going there, The two on,
the two off, the travel, the wins, the losses a year,
you guys sort of been a vibe.

Speaker 7 (46:53):
I'd love to think so, Mike, I feel like we well,
hopefully we've learned from the part two times we've had
to back up in test matches in Protectular Argentina and
Bonos Aire's and South Africa and Wellington and just little
adjustments that hopefully get us a performance this week against Perth,

(47:14):
and we've learned and other teams in the Rugby Championship
have learned as well that it's a week is a
long time and it's national. Rugby is so competitive now
and the margins are so small and it's so competitive.
So yeah, hopefully we can put a good performance over
here on Saturday.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
Now, just quickly. On last week, were you able to
enjoy it because I thought, I mean everyone talked about
the South Africa win, of course, but I actually thought
last week was the best game of all, I mean,
so exciting.

Speaker 7 (47:41):
Yeah, it was an exciting match. Both teams wanted to play.
I think ball and player was up around thirty eight
thirty nine minutes, which is great for the spectator as well.
And that's the other sort of games we want to
be a part of and put on a show and
ultimately get wins. So look, we feel it's a different
Australian well coached a great depth and they used the

(48:05):
ball well so well. It was an arm wrestled last
week and we were able to put out good periods
of good rugby and we want to try to do
more of the same against a side who again will
probably try and play fast as well.

Speaker 2 (48:17):
Yeah, if I'd asked you about this, you know, the
competition itself, the quality of the sides before this thing began,
versus what you know now, would the answer be the
same or have you learned a lot?

Speaker 7 (48:27):
The answer probably would be the same. But I guess
the volatility of the competition from week to week I
probably didn't expect you. Look at Argentina, a great side.
They beat the Lions before the Rugby Championship in Dublin.
I've beaten Australia that beat us and they've got sot

(48:50):
Aca this week and Australia had a great one in
South Africa followed by win to Soot Africa the week after,
and our results against the Box were pretty similar. So
the competition is so close. Hopefully it's great for the fan.
Obviously we'd like to be winning all our matches, but

(49:10):
that's the I guess.

Speaker 13 (49:11):
The path we're on.

Speaker 7 (49:11):
We're trying to get better and better, so we can
I guess when more.

Speaker 2 (49:15):
And do you think people understand that? I mean, I've
thoroughly personally, I thoroughly enjoyed the contest because of its tightness.
Everyone's beating everybody. Obviously we want you to win, but
at the start of the game, we don't know that
you're going to win. And that's that's the brilliance of sport,
isn't it.

Speaker 7 (49:30):
It's exciting, Yeah, rightly or wrongly, it's the players love that.
We love a contest. You learn more from tighter, tough experiences,
going through experiences where you don't want to lose. You
learn a lot about yourself. You learn a lot about
the team in those moments, and I guess about who

(49:52):
moves the fastest and learns and depths on the run.
But the world rugby is in a great spot, is
I mean, on any given day, you can have eight
or nine teams that turn up homer away and you
probably don't know who's going to win that day. So
I think it's positive for the sport.

Speaker 2 (50:09):
Now, talk to me about the mental side and how
you bounce back and how do you deal with that
mental pressure. You know, the key moments against South Africa,
the pressure on you for last week. I mean, how
do you bounce back mentally from those sort of moments.

Speaker 7 (50:21):
Yeah, the rugged Chamanships there to win if we really
want it. We may need a little bit of help
through South Africa and Argentina, but it's there for us
if we want it. Little adjustments from last week. There
were areas where Australia really challenged us. There was a
period in their first half where we felt like we

(50:43):
probably could have put them away. But they're a plucky
side and they've shown throughout the championship they finished well
late and second halves too, so it was good to
get I guess a late try over them and put
that game to bed. But they historically performed very well
in Perth afternoon game and they'll be chasing a bonus

(51:04):
point as well to put their name and the hat
for the rugby championships, so you're expecting probably an open match.

Speaker 2 (51:11):
Obviously there's nothing you can do about it. But all
of these injuries that have affected your side, how do
you adjust on that level given there might be a
different bloke on your inside or outside.

Speaker 7 (51:21):
You do it just but sometimes the change is positive
and it gives other guys opportunities, fresh leagues, fresh minds,
and I guess just their willingness and keenness to get
out there and put their best foot forward. Other teams
have rotated a lot. You look at South Africa, they'll
rotate massively from week to week. It's probably not something

(51:41):
we've done massively in the past. And this week we're
seeing quite a few new fresh faces and that's always exciting.
So it's great for competition. It also gives guys in
the squad one to thirty six the chance they're best
soot forward and grab a duty.

Speaker 13 (52:02):
Something that's positive.

Speaker 2 (52:03):
No, I think it's a sellout this weekend, isn't it.

Speaker 13 (52:06):
Yeah it's been.

Speaker 7 (52:07):
Yeah, it's been sold out for a couple of weeks,
I think. So it's amazing sixty plus hours and it
opt us.

Speaker 2 (52:12):
So I'm thinking all blacks by.

Speaker 16 (52:14):
Twelve or more I hope you're right, Mike.

Speaker 2 (52:18):
I think I will we go well. Mate, Jordy Barrett,
who's out of Perth sixty thousand, good crowd, isn't it.
We wish them well. Kickoff's about eleven o'clock Tomorrow Night's
seventeen to.

Speaker 1 (52:26):
Two the Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio
powered by News Talks.

Speaker 2 (52:33):
It'd be wonderful, Mike. Jordie's so good, Yes, Andy, he is.
I love Jordy. I love the whole Barrett family. Hannah's
my favorite. Now this Hannah's Body's wife, Hannah, And I
got to think, anyway, I don't think you.

Speaker 20 (52:49):
Should be saying things like that, especially when you're so
old and she's so young.

Speaker 11 (52:53):
Is she going well compared to you?

Speaker 2 (52:56):
The body was on Katie was out in ratting out
body the other so body was on the insta I
think smacking some flatbread that game. Now, Katie said he
shouldn't be doing that with his AC, and I thought,

(53:19):
that's not a bad point. And if I'm in the
management in all blacks and I'm not taking him to
Perth because his AC is done, but I'm seeing him
doing the flat bread, I'm thinking hold on.

Speaker 20 (53:27):
It's just like that time that Trevor Franklin got run
over by the luggage trolley at the airport and you think, oh,
that's a stupid way to be out of action.

Speaker 2 (53:36):
It's embarrassing, isn't it caught out by the flatbread. I
don't know it was flatbread, but it was a recipe,
and I think he was making his own flatbread. No,
I think it was my food bag. I think it
was my food bag recipe that had the flat breeder.
He had to beat out something. We'll get the details
from Katie. She's all over. I noticed that Westpac had
gone four four nine. I told you this on Tuesday.
I remember when somebody went first, b and zaid I

(53:57):
think we went first four four nine. So everyone's gone
four four nine, almost as though there's no competition in
making nickeler. Have you thought a bit about that? Exactly
five years below five percent now and so we're standing
by for next week. Exciting week next week Wednesday, where
Christian lines up certainly twenty five, possibly fifty. And the

(54:19):
other thing I alluded you to earlier on this week
was our wealth and the top ten percent. You needed
a to be in the top ten percent. In this country,
you needed wealth, sell everything, get rid of your debt.
What have you got left? If you've got a bit
over a million dollars left, you're in the top ten percent.
If you're in the top one percent, you need four
point three million. Several people texted me and went and
that just proves what a poor country we are. And

(54:40):
as it turns out, that's not true. So we find out. So,
for example, America, what do you need to be in
the top one percent of America? Remembering here it's four
point three million. In America it's thirty eight, so bit
of a difference as in million. But in Britain it's
only three and a half. To be in the top
one percent of Britain, you only ne need three and
a half million, whereas you need four point three Here

(55:03):
in Japan you think, oh, wealthy nation. Wrong three and
a half. So the wealthy of Japan are the same
less wealthy than they are here to be in the
top one percent India it's only a million bucks on
a per capita basis. Switzerland and Luxembourg have got the
highest density of millionaires. Do you know where it puts
us through the point of this where are we in

(55:23):
the world in terms of per head of population. We
are the seventh wealthiest country in the world.

Speaker 20 (55:31):
It's a weird one, though, isn't it, Because basically, from
what you're telling me, they're like populist countries, really populist countries.

Speaker 2 (55:36):
Well, you're bound to have more people, aren't you.

Speaker 11 (55:38):
And you've got like heads of poor people and not so.

Speaker 20 (55:42):
It doesn't mean that the rich, the really rich people
aren't fabulously wealthy.

Speaker 11 (55:46):
It just means that they're out numbered.

Speaker 2 (55:48):
You're talking median versus averages. What you're saying there, aren't you,
but on a per head of population basis, which is
the only way you can do it. We're seven.

Speaker 11 (55:55):
See, I'm more of a mean guy than a median guy.

Speaker 2 (55:57):
Usually you reckon going to talk actually speaking of money,
wait till I hear what I've got for your next
ten Towey.

Speaker 1 (56:04):
The My Hosking Breakfast with Bailey's Real estate news talk Zibbi.

Speaker 2 (56:08):
Serving away from my good news story from our tourism sector.
Toby Stewart, Michelin star chef who's back in the country
opening up his own multimillion dollar luxury slow stay retreat.
This isn't the able Tasman. It's all about switching off
tech and reconnecting over conversation and dinner, that sort of thing.
This taps into the global wellness tourism market, which is
projected by the Way to hit over two trillion dollars

(56:29):
by twenty thirty. Anyway, Toby's well this morning.

Speaker 23 (56:32):
Mate, Hi, good morning, Mike. Thank you so much for
having me on.

Speaker 2 (56:35):
Not at all. How big of punters this do you reckon?

Speaker 13 (56:40):
Well?

Speaker 23 (56:40):
For me, it's everything, you know, we've put everything on
the line, remot to the house, you know, we are.
We're very confident that we've got a great product and
we're really looking forward to kind of welcoming our guests
to come and have a slice of the Tasmas sun
and recuperate, recharge, maybe disconnect from the electronic devices for

(57:05):
a while and just embrace. Maybe it's bit of nature.

Speaker 2 (57:08):
You know, it's top end and you're charging big money.
Is it local or international? Do you think.

Speaker 23 (57:16):
We'd like it to be for everybody? I think it's
top end with regards to the position of the property
and the detail and level of service that we're bringing
into it. But at the same time, we feel that
we've positioned it. That's we feel that it is accessible.
It does provide a little bit of a value for money.

(57:37):
We've in our pricing there's a lot of added extras.
There's a lot that's included in that, being our breakfast,
yoga classes, wellness facilities. You can embrace wellness or you
can embrace a little bit of indulgence. So it's really
up to the guest of what they want to get
out of the state.

Speaker 2 (57:56):
But have you got a sauna?

Speaker 23 (58:00):
We do have a sauna. Yes, yeah, we've got a sauna,
hot up, We've got massage room, We've got beautiful refreshing
pool reviews out on to the able Tasmin and then
a nice place where you can relax on the deck
and overlooked Tasmin Bay, you know, where you read a
book or just enjoy some of the visits from the

(58:21):
birds and the nature we have on the property.

Speaker 2 (58:23):
What's your scenes of Are you doing this because it's
your dream and you would have done it any way
at any time, or are you seeing something in the
tourism industry you think you have timed this about right.

Speaker 23 (58:34):
No, I think it's it's actually more of the kind
of the stars aligning. I don't really want, you know, fate,
but it's an accumulation of my lifetime work. I've been
in the industry for coming three decades, very much at
the top level, and we've always enjoyed traveling and exploring

(58:54):
and the hospitality scene, enjoy discovering new dishes, in discovering
new cuisine, new ingredients, and yeah, I think this is
a distillation of myself and my wife's kind of dream
and we just we really enjoyed hosting people, really for

(59:14):
meeting people, and we kind of realized that there was
a little kind of feeling of going back to maybe
more sort of analog stay more kind of embracing a
bit of wellness, and so we kind of the timing
has kind of come together quite nicely, but it's something
more of a passion project for ourselves that it's just

(59:35):
come together at this time, and we would have done
it anyway.

Speaker 2 (59:39):
Yeah, absolutely fantastic. All I can do is wish you
well with a Toby Stewart Michelin style restaurant ship who's
opening up and the able Tesma's really a very good article.
I don't have time for now. I'll come back to
it later that you should read out of the weekend.
If you're interested in this sort of thing. There's another
company in using called O Studio. Tim Bateman, who you
may remember is a sports guy Mary or Black. He
isn't a sauna and that sort of stuff, opened a

(01:00:01):
branch in christ He's expanding and that wellness industry generally
talk about boom. That's up to ten trillion dollars globally. Anyway,
more on that after.

Of course we count.

Speaker 2 (01:02:12):
Yeah, sixty, you're going to be proud to be.

Speaker 18 (01:02:13):
Sixty the big six term off here, sixty is the
new forty and he disagrees.

Speaker 2 (01:02:20):
What do you think it is to?

Speaker 13 (01:02:21):
Okay?

Speaker 24 (01:02:22):
Yeah, well here's well, well, sixty sixty equals what it is.
It's sixty. We in our society we're preoccupied with youth.
I'm not old.

Speaker 11 (01:02:30):
I'm not old.

Speaker 25 (01:02:31):
Oh you know, it's just you know what age means.
Age means you get some experience and with reflection. Hopefully
that produces wisdom. I'm old, I own it.

Speaker 2 (01:02:39):
And you're not old. No, sixties, not old. That's true,
not true. That's the wisdom. Thing I agree with. What
do you do? Do you do anything exciting? H got?

Speaker 7 (01:02:47):
Well?

Speaker 24 (01:02:47):
We went We went to Popeye's Chicken for dinner. They
went for a bike ride around Cornwall Park.

Speaker 2 (01:02:51):
So it was great.

Speaker 25 (01:02:52):
But the best part, the best part was I jumped
into the Suzuki Swift to take the boys somewhere and
laid out post it notes all over the swerft with
with messages, with delightful messages, smelling out your name internally internally,
so there's like there's there was one with an I,
an a, a drawing of a door and you.

Speaker 2 (01:03:14):
I adore you. I doesn't That's nice.

Speaker 24 (01:03:17):
That doesn't get much better.

Speaker 2 (01:03:18):
What's the best what's the best meal on the Popeye
Chicken menu? Because I've never been to Popeye Chicken, I'll
tell you what.

Speaker 25 (01:03:27):
No, it's nice going down south, down to Louisiana. Get
yourself some Southern fried chicken.

Speaker 2 (01:03:32):
Get this.

Speaker 25 (01:03:33):
I think the Spicy Chick because they have the breosh
buns as well, So get the Spicy Chicken.

Speaker 2 (01:03:37):
Sandwich.

Speaker 24 (01:03:38):
But get ready for spice.

Speaker 2 (01:03:39):
What do you pay for a Popeye's Louisiana Southern.

Speaker 25 (01:03:45):
I think it's like eighteen bucks for eighteen dollar combo.
Yeah it's yeah, yeah, yeah, it's worth it. That's worth it.

Speaker 24 (01:03:53):
So it's a it's a tree, a drink on the side.

Speaker 25 (01:03:56):
Yeah, you get your casun, your spicy casin fries. But
but of course it does make laboring around Cornwall Park
on a bike.

Speaker 2 (01:04:02):
A bit harder. Well, you're lucky Cornwall Park wasn't closed
because it was breezy yesterday. What it is the most popular,
by the way, burger in America, the Popeyees, chicken ham
sandwich whatever, we just called it. Now, Katie body, what
was he banging? What was body banging?

Speaker 18 (01:04:15):
Just making flatbread?

Speaker 2 (01:04:17):
But he was making the flatbread with both arms.

Speaker 18 (01:04:21):
Yeah, I just I was just worried for his I mean,
last I saw he was, you know, hobbling off a
field and then in a sling, So I was just concerned.

Speaker 2 (01:04:29):
Was he did he have a sling on when he
was banging the flat bread?

Speaker 18 (01:04:32):
I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (01:04:35):
Did you did you hit Jordie up about this this morning?

Speaker 3 (01:04:37):
When you don't.

Speaker 2 (01:04:40):
I didn't know it's didn't and that's from a journalistic
point of he was fantastic. Glenn didn't think so. Glenn
was moaning left right and center about Jordie. But I
love Jordy.

Speaker 24 (01:04:49):
Why because but difference between between Razor and.

Speaker 2 (01:04:54):
Jordie and I loved parents exactly. And it's not unfair
of me to say, just for the record case, it's
not unfair of me to say Hannah's my favorite, Barrett,
is it?

Speaker 8 (01:05:04):
No?

Speaker 18 (01:05:04):
When you say you and Hannah have got a thing,
I think the thing you think you've got with Hannah
is that she's long sufferingly has to put up with
Body periodically tuning into the mic hosking Breakfast, which would
not be her favorite pick of the station.

Speaker 2 (01:05:14):
Hannah loves me so.

Speaker 18 (01:05:15):
That I think when you say Hannah loves you, that's
probably just a bit of a stretch.

Speaker 2 (01:05:20):
Body loves me.

Speaker 11 (01:05:20):
Can we inter you Hannah the next time?

Speaker 13 (01:05:22):
There may be?

Speaker 2 (01:05:22):
Why don't we get Hannah for the All Black?

Speaker 24 (01:05:24):
Yeah, get Hannah and get hand to tell a trup
the record straight?

Speaker 3 (01:05:28):
What we do.

Speaker 2 (01:05:29):
What we need to know is, but what are the rules?
I mean, if you were on ACC, this is the
classic ACC scenario, isn't it. You go right, I'm on ACC,
I can't go to work. I've got a sling, I
got an AC. Next thing, I'm on Instagram banging flat
bread with no sling on. What are ACC doing? You
know what they're doing, don't you?

Speaker 24 (01:05:43):
Yeah, but he's a machine.

Speaker 18 (01:05:44):
When you say banging flat bread, he was probably just
like using the strength of most most people's little finger
to do that, you know, because he'd be a machine.

Speaker 2 (01:05:52):
Do you know who? Do you know who I'm disappointed
in this morning? Andrew Alderson? So Aldison? Goodness know, Aldison's
got a band of John's elbow, right, He's got a
band of John's elbow. And I go past, and, being
the curing sort of person, I said, first thing I
said to all this, I said, you mate, are you okay?
I said, and he goes, It's.

Speaker 24 (01:06:12):
Just yeah, that's the first Sally.

Speaker 25 (01:06:14):
That's the first sally because I've experienced your quote unquote
care And when I walked in with the with the
brace on my wrest and You're like, oh, what have
you done?

Speaker 2 (01:06:23):
Have you been?

Speaker 24 (01:06:24):
Have you been running it?

Speaker 2 (01:06:25):
This is this?

Speaker 24 (01:06:26):
You know this, Kate? Don't you Mike hosting Care?

Speaker 18 (01:06:29):
No care under any circumstances, He said to Andrew, are
you okay? What exactly what do you call this your possy?

Speaker 2 (01:06:35):
What happened to you?

Speaker 24 (01:06:36):

Speaker 2 (01:07:51):
Yeah, I know a lot about Melbourne. Actually, now that
I think about it, I think the the the entertainment department,
what do they called the promotions department? I think that
they probably missed that. They missed a trick there, because
if you could have could this be a side hustle
for you to a guide? Mur Barry Holland Remember Barry Holland?
Of course I do. He used to go on those.

(01:08:13):
He used to take listeners on trips all over the place.
Murray Olds, who's Australian guy. He's just back from a
trip with listeners. And Laighton did the old trip with
a listener, and.

Speaker 1 (01:08:22):
So I might have to.

Speaker 2 (01:08:25):
Did we know that was Africa? We didn't want to
go to Africa? Who wants to go to Africa? For
good mistake? I'd love to go to Africa. Would why
did he do the trip Africa? Funnily enough, I'm going
to if I'm going to Popeye's Chicken age sixty, shoot me.
I think that's a little bit unfair, isn't it. Mike,
get into Popeye's asap. Try the potato and gravy and

(01:08:47):
the tenders. It's more costly than KFC, but well worth it.

Speaker 24 (01:08:52):
Where we're out and uh, I was out and I
think there's one Tuck and Papa to.

Speaker 2 (01:09:01):
But what about for the rest of the country listening?
Are there any of them? The cargol and Blenham's.

Speaker 25 (01:09:07):
There's not there's not not that not that I know,
because it's not like you know, I've got Popeye's radar.

Speaker 2 (01:09:12):
Okay, But right, so anyway, so I say, mate, are
you okay? And so he goes it's just a little
pre emptive tennis elbow treatment. And I said, well what
I said, what are you talking about? Preempty Do you
have tennis elbow or do you not have tennis elbow?
You can't if you don't have tennis elbow, put a
put a bandage on your arm. What sort of pussy
are you? I said, getting slightly aggravated. He turned around

(01:09:36):
at that point because he got embarrassed because he knew
he'd been sprung, because I know he doesn't play tennis.
For a start, he he injured himself opening a tin
opening a jar. He was wrestling with the jar, and
he wrestled with it so much that by the time
he got it open, he gave himself tennis elbow.

Speaker 22 (01:09:54):
I do think.

Speaker 13 (01:09:56):
Is a thing though, that your albo a specially you
get on and here we go.

Speaker 7 (01:10:03):
Quite sore, and I think it is the record.

Speaker 17 (01:10:04):
Sports isn't racket sports. Of course, there's an if you
play sports, but isn't it's not a racket sports. Yeah,
I mean it's like a tin of gerkins. I was
playing pickle ball.

Speaker 24 (01:10:22):
No, you weren't. You were trying to open a ten
of gerkins.

Speaker 16 (01:10:25):
That's what you know what I actually think.

Speaker 24 (01:10:27):
Might forget the tour guys stuff. You can work for
a s C. You're the first line of defense against
paying out, make injuries.

Speaker 2 (01:10:35):
Exactly next, yeah, exactly, okay, just quickly on your actually, Tim,
you'd be better. Do you know what jellies are? These
jellies I was talking about earlier on in the morning,

Yeah, we do the very the plush little soft toys
that collectibles and the kids go nuts to them.

Speaker 21 (01:10:56):
What it can't work out is they're very small.

They're just like a small soft toy that really took
a clash and stuff.

Speaker 21 (01:11:01):
But they're so expensive, Like she's got.

Speaker 24 (01:11:02):

Speaker 21 (01:11:03):
It was like seventy eighty bucks.

Speaker 2 (01:11:05):
Cool paid for that.

Speaker 22 (01:11:09):
You might have taked that.

Speaker 2 (01:11:13):
Now, you know. Oh yeah, go on, I gotta go.
I've got to go read these names out for this.

Speaker 24 (01:11:20):

and water pay for the jay toys.

Speaker 3 (01:11:24):
The way.

Speaker 2 (01:11:26):
Was going crazy exactly. So anyway, I've got to read
three names out and and we'll give away the prize.
Do you think I could inject myself into it in
the late part of the competition.

Speaker 13 (01:11:38):
To go and with the plus one because I want
to go.

Speaker 2 (01:11:42):

No, that's the whole point of going.

Speaker 18 (01:11:55):
That's the that's the only thing that attracts me to
Melbourne right now.

Speaker 2 (01:11:58):
Yeah, Melbourn's a dump.

Speaker 24 (01:12:00):
Unfortunately, Oh you've already got your lines for.

LAULI might love the Nadia lum interview yesterday. She's grounded,
smart and funny. We love the latest program and boy
can she cook tasty looking food. Greg and Lee glad
you liked it. I always enjoy her company. I haven't
mentioned it this week. I've come to the conclusion it's
a non story if you've followed. Politics has been a
bit quiet this week, given that the Parliament's not been sitting.
But Penny Simmons, Minister for Environment, deals with Sue's Red

(01:15:44):
Maid who's got a farm in the Rangeticki area, and
they had a meeting and the local council Horizons Regional Council.
There are a bit the fun number of farmers in
the area were worried about resource consents and irrigation and
groundwater extraction stuff.

Speaker 13 (01:15:56):
Like that.

Speaker 2 (01:15:57):
They wrote to the minister. The minister wrote to the
council said what's going on there? And so the allegation
was made. I note it was made by landfam who's
a Green Party member, so I suspect she was more stirring.
I mean, on the surface, does a minister engaging with
a council over environmental issues raise a flag? No, is

(01:16:18):
one of the farms happening to be a MP problematic?
I suppose potentially no rules have been broken. The Prime
Minister's office knew. The Prime Minister's Office said there's nothing
here to see. So I think that's about that.

Speaker 9 (01:16:33):
Twenty two to nine International correspondence with Ends and Eye

Speaker 2 (01:16:39):
Business make Murralds was going to tell you, man, I'm
very good morning, Michael, pretty good.

Speaker 13 (01:16:43):
Thank you.

Speaker 8 (01:16:44):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:16:44):
I think it was while you were away, but we
were talking about elbow before he went to America, before
he went to Britain, went to P and G and
he was going, oh, I'm going up there to sign
this cool agreement. Got up there and he didn't sign
the agreement. It all got embarrassing. So we finally dragg
P and G to the table.

Speaker 13 (01:16:59):
Have we we have yes, very significant as far as
the labor government here is concerned. Anthony Elbanezi, he had
a lot of store in this deal and it was embarrassing,
no doubt about it, because the big the P and
G Prime Minister Marape wanted to sign it, but his
cabinet and the broader government said, hang on a second,

(01:17:20):
let's have a closer look at it. Anyway, that's happened
and the two nations are going to sign this military
pact after that false start, which is good news because
of course China, I mean, and you're looking at what's
happening in P ANDNG with China overseeing this whole region,
and people are dead set worried about it, you know,
the incursion of communist China into nations of the South Pacific,

(01:17:44):
the Solomon Islands. They're training up a police force there.
Vanauata of course turned out an Australian an Australian Defense Pact.
But P and G has now come to the table.
Very significant given it's the closest country to Australia, given
the court facilities that apparently you're there. I don't know
much about P and G ports have only been there
at one time. But anyway, it's a done deal Marape

(01:18:06):
and Alberici to come to the Rugby League Grand Final
this weekend, so rugby league to climacy. That's still being discussed.
You know the fact that Australia spenting six hundred million
dollars to get P and G exactly NRL competition. But
Albanesi insists that soft diplomacy. So what he's got this
over the line. He's very very happy.

Speaker 2 (01:18:25):
That's that's bollocks. That's called bribery in this country. Murray
and the bloke who was in charge of the contract
in P and G, if you follow that particular story,
he was dodgy as all.

Speaker 16 (01:18:34):
Heck.

Speaker 2 (01:18:35):
By the way, I've been reading about your housing, I've
been reading about your coffee this week. I'll come to
the coffee. But the housing correct me if I'm wrong.
They've got a policy. It's if you're a first home buyer,
you can get in at five percent deposits, right, I
mean that's why we haven't done this. I don't know,
because if you've got a problem with first time buyers
and we all do five percent, will do it because

(01:18:56):
you know, as sure as night follows day, the values
going up, and therefore you're.

Speaker 13 (01:19:00):
Increases, but you've still got a mortgage of ninety five
percent of the value.

Speaker 2 (01:19:05):
You're neither afforded or you can't. So if you're going
to afford that and five percent you bury, then what's
wrong with that?

Speaker 13 (01:19:10):
Well, a lot of people see that that exactly that
way previously that that entry level's been twenty percent, So
a five percent entry. There are also many schemes around
right now, and don't forget, given these new schemes are
hitting the deck, the banks are out there desperately trying
to sign up new customers. So so that extent's going
to be good. A five percent deposit. Others allow this

(01:19:33):
shared equity. If you've got a five percent ten percent deposit,
you can buy it for sixty percent of the home.
The federal government will come in and fund the other
forty percent. And that's designed for teachers, for nurses, for
police and five brigade people who simply can't afford deliver
in the place like Sydney. So in any event, you've
got you know, mixed reaction to this plan this afternon

(01:19:56):
this morning, this week. But the government, as sisters go
to get more people over the light into their first home. However,
there's no means testing for this. What so smarty pants
investors out there apparently at rubbing their hands in glee,
they'll be able to jump in and give zump any
young family desperately trying to get into.

Speaker 2 (01:20:15):
The house, Well, that's ridiculous. The other they must also
have a cap on the price of the house, I'm assuming,
don't they.

Speaker 13 (01:20:19):
Yes, that's right, and that does vary depending on the city.
Obviously Sydney. I think you can fund this up to
one point five million dollars, which, yes, you're a shoe box.
Melbourne is slightly less than that. Brisbane less again as
his Adelaide. So it is a teared structure over here
to the extent that we need new. I mean, look,
the federal government is insisting it can build these three

(01:20:41):
point three point two million homes.

Speaker 2 (01:20:43):
It's ridiculous.

Speaker 23 (01:20:45):
Well it's just dark.

Speaker 13 (01:20:46):
There's no one here to but he drive the nails
and cut the timber. We haven't got enough enough trades made.

Speaker 2 (01:20:52):
No exactly I was and looking at is where would
you live in Australia. I mean, forget Dunesville, but I
mean the of the major scenes in Australia in terms
of buying a nice house and having a nice environment
and thinking this is not bad life. Where would you
live main center if it was just housing.

Speaker 13 (01:21:10):
Just housing. Yeah, there's a lot to be said for
a place like Newcastle. You've got a city with city facilities,
a decent hospital and university. You've got lovely local beaches
and the joint is not priced completely ridiculously. You can
get a decent home in Newcastle for a million one
point two one point five. You spend two million bucks
in Newcastle. You've got a fabulous home looking at down

(01:21:31):
great Beach, That red beach is beautiful. You've got the health,
you've got the university, you've got decent schools. Why not
go there? And that's just in New South Wales. Other
centers around the place. You know, in other states they
could also advertise themselves as come here because it's bloody.

Speaker 2 (01:21:45):
Good okay, and you got if you get an apartment
in Newcastle, that corner they've gotten the supercars just overlooking
the beach. You can stand on your balcony and watch
the supercars go around the corner. It's just incredible.

Speaker 13 (01:21:56):
Exactly right. I know a woman who's got a family,
adult kids now and she lives on that track and
apparently every year she gets to visit with the kids
around you.

Speaker 2 (01:22:08):
No kidding, Hey, listen, you being a barista. Have you
heard of a thing called magic magic? Do people order
are magic coffee? Do you know what that means at all?

Speaker 21 (01:22:17):
Or not?

Speaker 13 (01:22:18):
I don't. I was reading about this only last night,
and it's it's a mixture of I'm not sure what
it's a mixture of restretto.

Speaker 2 (01:22:25):
It's a double. It's a double restretto with steamed milk.

Speaker 13 (01:22:29):
Now, I've never heard of it, no, no, have I
until last night I was reading about it. I'm strictly
a flat white man. I can go to a latte
or a cappuccino, right, But your machiatos and so on.
That that pretty easy too. He just bruised the shot
of coffee with a little bit of milk. But you
know the other one that there's fancy pants one. I'm
afraid I've never tried one. I don't know what it

(01:22:50):
looks like.

Speaker 2 (01:22:51):
Machiata and machiata and perth is five eighty.

Speaker 13 (01:22:55):
That's ridiculous. It's one shot of coffee and a little cup.

Speaker 2 (01:22:58):
Yeah, it's a little bruise of milk. What's that about.
Are you're paying for a mocker. You're paying for a
mocker which isn't even coffee. That's just crap. You're paying
six thirteen in Adelaide.

Speaker 13 (01:23:08):
Oh it's ridiculous. I mean, you know, because I made
coffee for nine months here in Sydney, that was my job.
And the cost of a cup of a cup of
coffee we were selling it for five up to six dollars,
and you know, the cost of that probably I don't know,
fifty cents for the time you factor in wages and
rent and the cost of energy and whatnot. So yeah,

(01:23:29):
it's it's a bit of a rip off. But I
love coffee, so do you, and so does the world.
So the price of coffee bean is going up. Everything
else is going up, why not the cost of coffee?

Speaker 2 (01:23:39):
All right, mate, you go, well, we'll catch up next week.
Murray Olds in Australia eight forty five.

Speaker 1 (01:23:44):
The Mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio. Howard
By News talks.

Speaker 2 (01:23:49):
At be I don't know, this is good, Godfrey hearst.
They're owned by a company called Mohawk and they're going
to take over Brimworth. So they've offered if your own
shares and brimwork. I offered you a premium is very
nice premium, so I suppose you'd vote for it. But
bring you a carpet wall. I don't know fewer players
in the market. I'm not sure that's necessarily good. Bring

(01:24:09):
We talked to Toby before eight, who's opening up that
sort of pared back luxury operation enable Tasman, which the
idea was you sort of go there and you don't
use your phone and there is no tally and you
sort of just soak in life and he's got a
sauna and stuff like that. But I was reading about
and do look it up. It's a very good piece.
It's about a guy called Tim Bateman who who was
I think he was a Marie all Black. He certainly

(01:24:30):
played at NPC, if not super rugby level East. He
started to think back in twenty nineteen a christ it'ch
called O studio and he got on board with the
sauna thing early. And there's all sorts of sauner operations
these days. I note there were six exhibitors selling home
saunas at the Auckland Home Show just a month ago,
which is up from two the year before, so it's
gone from twotle six, so it's a booming industry. Another

(01:24:50):
six companies are marketing ice baths and cold plunge Paul,
So I'm into all of this sort of stuff. Industry
is exponentially growing globally. At the moment it's going to hit.
It hit last year eleven trillion dollars globally, eleven trillion
dollars globally. So saunas and finished stuff is a go
to So read that. Look it up over the weekend
and they'll read all about its very interesting piece. It

(01:25:11):
was on the news room. So mke go to Werribee,
forty minutes out of Melbourne, brand new home, six hundred k. Mike,
my brother moved to Melbourne twelve months ago. Gets three
k a week to drive a food truck. He just
bought a six hundred thousand dollars house, thirty thousand dollars down. Yeah,
that five percent. I know it's a bit controversial in
this country these days. I don't know why, but I've
always argued for five percent for first home buyers and

(01:25:32):
that idea. I don't know that I'm down the labor
track of support pers obviously the recruitment issue around people
who earn average salaries. Your nurses, your doctors, not the doctors.
The nurses teaches those sort of people, and you know
it must be harder to do it in Auckland than
it is an Embericago or Tagaroa. So the government idea
that they get into a slice of the house is

(01:25:52):
probably no bad thing at all. The other thing I
forgot to mention to the murray is Luna Park is
celebrating its ninetieth birthday this weekend. You have been to
Luna Park. I love Luna Park. Only went there once,
went to the Melbourne one, the Sydney one I've looked at.
Ever you're on the Harbor and Sydney you look across
and there's Lunar Park. And for years it was closed,
of course until they've referbed it and now it's a thing.
But ninety years Lunar Park. So they're having a big
party this weekend night Away from nine.

Speaker 1 (01:26:14):
The Mike Hosking Breakfast with the land Rover, Defender and
News Togs Dead b.

Speaker 2 (01:26:19):
Mike tell Kate they've just opened the first permanent, outdoor,
free public pickleball courts in New Zealand. Caroline Bay, timrou
Caroline Bay, I love overlooks the water and you can
play pickleball. How good would the wind be an issue outdoors,
Caroline Bay, But a breeze Mike. Most double shots in Wellington,
maybe even the country, are in fact doublest Restretto's double
shot basket twenty grams only extracted to thirty mils liquid.

(01:26:40):
So a double restretto with steam Milker's flat whitele You
say so this, We don't have to talk to the
Prime Minister about this. On Monday. They're gonna they are
looking to move, but they haven't moved fast enough. So
there's a bunch of protests allegedly outside Winston Peter's house.
I happen to know where Winston Peters lives, and it

(01:27:00):
would be, given the circumstances, an awkward situation, not just
for Winston Peter's but the whole street and the neighbors
and join us, say the dickheads out there, this is
a peaceful action. There's a good bunch of us here,
and they provide the street name. And it's all to
do with Palestine's the usual losers, and so there's something

(01:27:21):
wrong with that in this country. We've got to stop it.
We've got to nip it in the bud. It's one thing,
I mean, it's stupid, but it's one thing to chain
yourself to an office that we've seen a little bit of,
because you don't have to be at the office, but
you do have to be at home. And a Peter's case,
he's got a partner, and a many MP's cases, they've
got kids. And that doesn't take into account the rest
of the street, who am more than entitled to get

(01:27:43):
about their daily life without morons interrupting their day, their life,
their weekend. So the sooner we ban this and round
them up and toss them in jail and send a
very good, strong lesson, the better, because you've got to
be definitive. You've got to draw the line between public
life and private life, and people in public life need
a private life, including a foreign minister. And so hopefully

(01:28:05):
the police get that sorted out quick Smart five away
from nine.

Speaker 1 (01:28:09):
Trending now with Chemist war House celebrate big brands and
bigger savings.

Speaker 2 (01:28:14):
Joe Wick's popular fitness influencer, is on a self declared
fight against processed foods. Process food is linked to fourteen
percent of primature deaths. Part of that is having a
go at. Protein bars a lot of cowbs, a lot
of protein. They advertise they also got ninety six other
components linked to dementia, cancer and nearly death. So Joe's
created his own protein bar with all the bad stuff
in it to an extreme level. The doco is all

(01:28:36):
about holding the government to account because he's allowed to
make this protein bar and advertise it completely legally.

Speaker 13 (01:28:43):
You yeah, you do.

Speaker 2 (01:28:44):
You want to slay the day and feel unstoppable.
