Tonight on The Huddle, Trish Sherson from Sherson Willis PR and motivational speaker David Letele joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day - and more!
There's outrage and concern from rate-payers over a million-dollar Christmas tree set to be built in Auckland's city centre. Do we support this? Will this help bring more people in?
The Government raised a few eyebrows after initially banning journalist Aaron Smale from Tuesday's Abuse in Care apology - and then reversing the ban. Is this a bad look?
It's been a big week for president-elect Donald Trump - he's already expressed interest in pulling America of of the Paris climate agreement. What do we make of this?
Does Liam Lawson have a point in suggesting the New Zealand national anthem be played for the McLaren victories?

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Twenty away from six The Huddle with New Zealand Southeby's
international realty, local and global exposure like no other. I'm
the huddle with me this evening. Trish Sharson of Sheerson
Willis pr and Dave Latally butter Bean Motivation. Hello are
you too? Hello?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Now?
Speaker 1 (00:14):
What do you think of this? Trisua? Are you cool
with Tree?
Speaker 3 (00:17):
I'm actually cool with the true me too.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
I'm cool with it.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
You know.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
I think if every time we try and do something
as an international city, we get all mingji over are
we spending a dollar fifty or not? That's why we're
going backwards at a great rate of nots. And I
do think this is, you know, in the biggest scheme
of things, is actually a small step to try and
get people back into the city, and especially to try
(00:41):
and get families back into the city.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Dave, what are you making those noises for?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
So? I didn't think you could hear me.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I could hear you.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
No, I just think, you know. I mean, it's when
you have the City Mission right. They've got funding too,
Awkwald City Mission have funding and until Christmas then they
have to cut thousands of people that will no longer
be able to get support from them. It just seems
like it's just such a waste of money. And then
and then you know, listening to the interview, it's like
(01:12):
they're just dressing up much and as I am, because
I don't want my family go into the city. There's
no way look at Christmas, sure not because it's so
unsafe there at the moment.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
But that's the point. That's the point. It's like we're
gonna flood. We want all the families to come and
flood out the bad guys.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Yeah, but you've got to look at You've got to
you've got to fix the issues out of there, some
deep rooted issues there. And it just seems like this
is just just a waste of money. I mean, I mean,
it's cool, but it's a waste of money to me.
We've got bigger problems to.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Solve now, Dave, does it make it any better if
the money was literally taken for this, Like if you
go out there and you go listen businesses and residents,
we're getting a targeted rate to try to do nice
things to make the city look nice, and then you
use it for that. Does that make it better to you?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Yeah? I mean that that makes it a bit better.
Problem is it taken all the parking a way so
you can't park there at the shop anyway.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
You just got general gripes of the counselor. I mean,
so do we we all do? Really?
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Yeah, And I'm probably very much on the on the
love of Christmas ball bll side of things. I am
a massive Christmas person. Always do the Franklin Road Christmas lights.
You let just love the whole vibe.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Don't you hate those people on Franklin Road who just
put up icicles and they're like they think that's enough.
You're like, I have come and traffic jammed outside your
house at eleven o'clock at night for more than that.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
But listen here this year, you you better bring your game. Yeah,
you better bring your game to those Franklin Road lights.
It's all good sitting here talking about the ice skills,
but come come the day before when you're in a
panic and you've sent you know, your lovely husband off
to the warehouse. That's not going to be good enough.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Listen, Dave, what do you make of the speak of
banning and then unbanning a journalist.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I just think it's just taken away from the apology
to me, I mean, it's why are we so It's
just yeah, I mean it's just why are we're worrying
about this? That the big thing is the is the
apology and then what's going to come after it? I
think they need to. I mean, they can fast track
everything else, they had to fast track this too.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
What do you make of this stress this? I mean,
in terms of banning a journalist, it's a really big
call to make right and it doesn't feel like it
was made with any evidence. It feels weird.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
I agree with you. It feels odd, and it's a
very big, a big move to have come out. And look,
I haven't followed this at all, but the fact that
this is a journal who has followed this along since weird,
I think it is a real shame. It's detracting from tomorrow.
(03:34):
And one of the things that I sensed from Erica
Stanford was the build up already of the emotion around
tomorrow on all sides, but particularly that the government wants
to make sure that this does have the seriousness and
the sort of reverence that the day deserves for the survivors.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yeah, I think so, okay, we'll take a break, come
back to these turnes to Tickel right back the hardle
Dave Lettalian Tricius and now Dave Donald Trump has had
made has made some really big calls already. He's told
Pooty not to escalate the war in Ukraine, and apparently
he's preparing to pull out of the Paris Agreement. How
do you feel about this?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I just, you know, I can't be surprised about it.
It's you know, I think we all have to do
our bit. It's just but I'm not surprised he's doing that.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
No, what do you think, trash?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Well, I I wanted to bring my hat in today
so I could eat it after last week predicting I
was not going to.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Raise a trition you've raised and you've put the egg
on your own.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Favor, magnanimous. But this is this is exactly a re
This is just David deja vux. Remember the last time
Trump got the presidency, he spent several days in the
White House with the cameras rolling signing presidential decrees for
all of this kind of stuff. So, you know, just
(04:56):
i'd pull up the popcorn and.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Now, okay, tell me while we've got and you've raised it,
so now I can deal with it. Why were you
so convinced that that comment? Was it wishful thinking?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
I have to admit I think a part of it
probably was well thinking. However, what the other reasons that
I was basing What I was basing that prediction on
was I was dubious about Trump's ability to drive out
young male voters because they don't vote, and Carmela had
gone so strong into the young woman voters. I was
(05:30):
basing it on the fact that it was so tight,
and I felt like in that last few days, probably
like a lot of people who called it the wrong way,
in the end, it felt like Trump had run out
of steam. And in fact, when you looked at him
at those final rallies, he looked absolutely rooted. We're allowed
to say that, but there was a technical political term.
(05:51):
He looked absolutely exhausted, and she looked like she was
really just starting to hit her straps looking at it now, though,
you know the Democrats. The one thing I did think
about Krmla Harris, I felt like, was there a bit
of disindomania there, Like there was a lot of good,
(06:11):
you know, good smiles and nice feelings, but that wasn't
actually reflecting back to the majority of American voters the
kind of anger that they were feeling, and they wanted
to see a presidential candidate who was actually representing and
voicing that.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Yeah, yeah, totally. I mean, I think feels a great
feels don't pay the bills, they do they.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Trump Trump appealed to the working class, to the people
that were just angry with how everything has gotten worse
for them. He appealed, He spoke to them, and they
turned out.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
You know, yeah, how much do you reckon, Dave, how
much of it was an economic vote versus an anti
woke vote?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (06:50):
How too?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yeah, a lot anti woke. I think it's interesting seeing
that all the celebrities come out for come out, but
it didn't do anything.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yeah, Trish, if he pulls out of the Paris Agreement,
how do you feel about that?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Well, he did it before, and then the question is
for everyone else, well, what do we do what?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Because the reason I'm asking you is because the nationals
over in Australia are already putting pressure on Peter Dutton
to also then pull out or rethink it all together.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Yes, And I heard your editorial actually just riding in
and you know, there are great reasons for everyone around
the world to go, oh, great relief. Now we can
start to paddle our own woker. But I guess my
question around this stuff is the only way we're going
to solve it is if humanity comes together, and the
(07:41):
stupidity of humanity is that we take our short term
you know, things that we want over the long term
and selfishness, your selfishness, And that's exactly what Trump is doing.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Here, Dave, does Liam Lawson have a point that we
should be playing the national anthem? Our national anthem? When
McLaren went.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
I'm not I haven't really followed. I mean I couldn't
care less, to be honest, I follow.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
How Dave, how can you be like this? You're in
New Zealand around you, I mean we should be. We're
always excited every time in New Zealander does like fats
on the national stage, on the global stage, like you
play the end.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Of the Yeah, No, I mean play it. Yeah. I
mean I'm just more worried about everything else that we've
got going on, so.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Least well all good.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Yeah, I really love this.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
I loved it because I love I love Drive to Survive,
I love Formula one.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
You are the second person in two days to tell
me that it's awesome.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Absolutely love it. I love it. But I also love
Liam Lawson like to become an F one driver. We
think getting to the All Blacks is amazing. This is
needle in a hasting kind of country. He's bide at
his time. He's now got a seat. But also I
love this position that he's taken because it kind of
(09:00):
sets them apart. And you know what, it also says, Hey,
I'm from New Zealand and I'm really proud to represent
the country. I think that's awesome.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Go aham, what a great call.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Christ want you want me over?
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Who are so easily won over?
Speaker 3 (09:14):
That's a great one for today day.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
You will take that, guys, Thank you, really appreciated. Tris
