Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good Field to the cowshed.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's the Country Sport Breakfast with Brian Kelly on gold
Sport is Business is business.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
It is. It is business time at eight seventeen joining
us out of Iron Duke Partners.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
They're managing director Piller Riley. Morning.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Philly just got off.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
The phone talking to Greg Smith, the CEO of Bremworth
and we're talking about woolen carpets being totally snubbed by
Coyng of Aura.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
What do you make of that?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Well, I actually agree with Kyng Aura. The point is
we shouldn't be trying to do protectionist or sort of
sectionalist policies around public housing. What we should be doing
is making sure people get a good, warm house at
the cheapest price possible. Are the textplayer and the fact
is that nylon carpets are cheaper than mortland. Wool is
a premium product and so Brentwick should be looking to
(00:50):
sell their product into high end houses and hopefully offshore
as a matter of fact, and leave the leap of
the chip housing into nylon, which is what or is.
I always thought it was a silly idea that we
said all state houses have to be built out of
the wall inn carpet's what's silly idea. What we want
is the state houses are built to last, warm and
dry the cheapest possible cost of the taxpayer, and that
(01:12):
is often not woolen carpets. So good luck to bring
with selling their carpets. I have a Bremer's carpet in
my house. Good for them, but my house is at
the state house. Both run them.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Yeah, it's an interesting point, all right. The government's just
announced that a new agency will says unsolicited bids from
private sector businesses to build and fund new infrastructure structure.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I mean, haven't we been doing that already?
Speaker 2 (01:36):
No, we haven't. Actually, here's the interesting points. When the
when the when the CRL this uh this away tunnel
for Auckland was being originally proposed, there was an un
solicited been made by in other words, a bid that
was made out of the blue, not asked for by
the Newseum superfundents and partners. And it turned out that
Treasury wasn't really specked, that wasn't really armed with the
(01:57):
capacity that actually considered that but an extraordinary or isn't
it that the Treasury is supposed to be really good
at this and they just didn't know how to do it,
and so I'm not sitting lots ofgesting treasuries. People are stupid.
Its study, but there's their systems didn't able to do it.
So the government said there's two things. Actually they've said, look,
we welcome these bids. And certainly I've already been talking
to people who ale bit excited about that. So just
people who think they can do something to at a
(02:18):
hospital or the ort, a tunnel or whatever it might be,
and we welcome them. And by the way, we're going
to give you a specialist agency to have a look
at them, and that's this new National Infrastructure Agency. You
can have a look at it. And I know some
of the people in there and they're going to be
very very good at doing that. And he's also said
to government agencies, look, what are you going to do
is come to us, just as the money for some
of these infrastructure assets well out having a think about
some of those innoventive options might be told no, this
(02:40):
is a big change around for the government. And I've
often been when I've talked to overseas businesses and investors,
they say there's nothing much to invest in New Zealand. Well,
now there is. Now you're going to actually put together
an unsolicited bit for something quite fresh in you that
you might be an expert at and that the New
Zealand government might buy and operate. So I think what
citing announcement from the minister and we're likely to be
(03:02):
well noted by overseas. The best is who we need
in New Zealand to get some growth of productivity.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Going absolutely all right and wrapping with New Zealand's first
cases of a sort of strain of bird flu which
means a lot of chickens being disposed of and in
south in the Otago region, is the government being too
heavy handed here?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
No, I think they're not. You know, do you have
a look at what's going on in the United States
with dairy where we've got a bit of bird flu
now in the cow population there and they're not doing
much about isolating those herds in the United States because
you know that the dairy guys are saying, well, that'll
mean a loss of business for us. Here in New Zealand,
I think farmers and everyone else understands the importance when
there is a bit of a problem, there is a
(03:42):
bit of a disease and a herd that you isolate
that herd, particularly if it's a transmissible you isolate that herd.
You sort that out and know it's the Government's also
banned poultry exports for the clime being until they sort
it out because our reputation in global markets and is
so much so I think the government's doing exactly the
right thing here. I think we'll e forget this strains
of bird flu because birds don't. They don't you managed isolation,
(04:03):
do they? Birds? They tend to come in from overseas.
They don't be masked, So we will get eventually, I think.
But to slow it down and to try and moderated
and limit it is the right thing. And I think
not only is MPI doing the right thing about trying
to really isolate and destroy these these bird flocks when
it comes up, but making sure I think the farming
community will generally be pretty supportive of that. You know,
(04:24):
sad news for the for the farmers involved in this,
but you know, my senses of the governor and the
right thing here, and farmers will support them.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Fellow, know you're a big Formula one fan. You're off
to Melbourne next year to see Liam Lawson. Perhaps race.
What are your feelings on where he's going to end
up after this week end?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
I was just thinking about this. My dream would be
to sit in Melbourne and watchful surround the front row,
next to put next to stepping and that our VCR
Red Bull Cup, and I hope you will. I think
odds are our fairming, aren't They got Polatanos no longer
in the picture, Yuki Sonoda probably going off with the
Japanese engine manufacturer Honda in twenty twenty six, So you know,
(05:03):
odds affirming for loss. And I think and he's said
the big thing I think he's going to do is
next next week in a w W in a few
days time. He's already got a stamper a beat Sonata
and he's got to hopefully get some points. I think
if he does those two things, then I think he's
in and I'll certainly celebrate that. And he's got a
lot of growing up that he doesn't he liam he
says something strange from time to time. You know, I
(05:25):
don't think you know a bit of you know, we'll
have to worry about about that, but you know he'll
get good coaching on that. I'm sure what he is Yeah,
and I think he's going to be he's quickly and
I think he's going to be greater esset for New Zealand.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Well, yep, absolutely agree with you that. Hey, Phil, have
a great week mate, and we'll talk again next week.
