• 0:11
  Speaker 2: for the beer is.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: The beers arrived obviously, and it is a It's a
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: delicious brew, isn't it.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, Well we every once a year we do
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: a Christmas co lab with the wonderful people at Emerson's
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: here in Denisan, and the bear is always a pilsner,
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: one of my favorite.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Do you change the recipe every year or is it
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: the same?
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't really have much to do with it,
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: even though it kind of Bear is my name. I
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: know the boys that or the teams the teams had
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Emerson's the brewers, the brewers down there have a bit
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: of a play round, so they just mix it up.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: Some years I like it better than other years, and
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: I think this one's a really good brew. But you know,
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: like a lot of these craft bear outfits, they do
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: have some fun with their brewis, and they certainly at
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Emerson's have some fun with the names of the of
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: their bears. They had a He used to have a
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: bear called Gary, named after an old bloke who would
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: come in on his superannuation day and buy a whole
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: lot of beer and come back again two weeks time.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: So they called a bear after Gary.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: That's nice. I like that.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Hey.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Now, since we last chatted, we've obviously signed and announced
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the FTA with India.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: What's your thoughts on that?
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Well, talking about super inuitance, I know one who's not
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: very happy about this at all, and you were talking
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: to him, to him or about him with Barry a
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: week bit earlier in the show. And so when he's
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: got he thinks we gives, we give too much to India,
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: especially on immigration, does not get a good enough return
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: for New Zealand. Especially dry Well a trade expert and
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: he's one of our top trade guys. Stephen Jacobe has
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: rubbished that he said New Zealand had a window. If
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: we didn't take it, the next opportunity could have been
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: years away and there was no guarantee of a better deal.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: He reckons winstance whistling. I'd agree with him on that one,
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: and he thinks that Winston could have Winston says he
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: could have negotiated something better. Stephen Jacoby says, somehow I
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: doubt it.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Look, Heather, obviously this has been an advantageous, very advantageous
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: agreement to us per sectors like sheep meat. They've got
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: a really good game Kiwi fruits and apples. Obviously dairy
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: wasn't flash, but you've got to remember India's got the
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: most cattle or bovines in the world. They're not really
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: that interested in dairy at this stage, but because of
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: their burgeoning population, they're still dairy deficient. So at some
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: stage down the track they're going to be looking for
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: suppliers and hopefully we're in the one one in the
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: box seat here to be able to do that. Jacoby
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: went on to say that FTAs must be seen in
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: the context of a very disruptive international environment thanks to
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: mister Trump, and it was simply not possible to get
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: the sort of gains that we had earlier, for example,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: our China deal or even our cp TPP deal. I
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: hope I didn't get too many peace in there. So
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: all in all, Todd mcclay's done a blooming good job.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Instance not happy. I just hope bipartisan politics prevails. Heather
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: and labor back and I was talking to damian O
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: kind of the day their trade guy, and I got
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: the impression talking to him that they will good on
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: him if they do.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's interesting you raise that because Chippy was
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: sounding a bit like he's got a few issues with it.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: So is it a case of them just wanting to
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: iron out a few things or they get because the
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: thing is done right, you've got to accept it the
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: way it is.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: So what's Labor going to do?
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: I under Yeah, I don't think. I don't think Chippy
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: can change anything, and you know, like he might be
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: risk because I think this is one of those issues
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: that we need kind of across the board support on. Obviously,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: I don't think the green sorts of party Maury will
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: do it, but I mean Labor are largely sensible. I
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: don't see why they wouldn't agree with this. It's in
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: the best interests of New Zealand. Think. Look, India is
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: the most populous nation on Earth. It's now the fourth
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: BIGUS economy. Very shortly it will overtake Germany as the
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: third BIGUS economy. We've got to be in their boots and.
• 4:06
