  Speaker 2: Jamie mckaie, host of the Countries with us Elo, Jamie.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: Oh good A Eather Poor on Christopher Luxe and he's
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: out of the frying pan into the fire here New
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: Zealand to Prime Minister who's probably thinking a few weeks
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: ago it might be easier to go back to Air
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: New Zealand, but might have to rethink that one not
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: good numbers.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Well, I guess at least what's happening at Air New
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Zealand makes him look good as a boss of Air
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: New Zealand, so you can take some heart from that
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: if you am. I say, now, how do you reckon
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: that this war turn turns things good for US as
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: an exporting nation?
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Well it doesn't really, but I'm just posing a rhetorical
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: sort of question there, Heather, because we've got our excuse me,
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: our fifth GDT auction of the year tonight. Remembering that
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: the two in January two and Febris have been very positive.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: So we've swung back from the disappointing end to twenty
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: twenty five. And Mike McIntire my guy Jardin, I'm quoting him,
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: so I've got to give him some credit. He says
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: they're looking for a reasonable gains again tonight, especially with
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: skim milk, powder and butter, and he thinks there's going
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: to be some real scrambling with the processes around the
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: world trying to work out how to deal with orders
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: that are going to be at best delayed or possibly
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: canceled due to obviously shipping restraints around the world. So
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: he says a two to three percent lift would be
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: a great outcome. And when you think commodity prices normally
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: follow kind of economic sentiment, I think that would be
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: a great result. Swimming against the tide tonight, he's saying,
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: a real savior. At this time of the year, New
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Zealand volumes are dropping away in line with normal seasonal activity,
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: even though there's plenty of grass around the country. You know,
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: we are starting to slow the cows of well past
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: peak production. So this season's looking pretty good, and the
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: futures for this season are currently sitting at nine dollars
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: seventy one, next season nine dollars fifty four, and the
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: twenty eighth season nine dollars in one cents. Those are
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: very very strong forward markets either.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, totally. Now, sharing's big events about to start. Have
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: you got a hot favorite here.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Well, we've got a hot favorite in the wall handling
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: and that's Joel Henare. The tab has got him a
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: hot favorite to win the big double, that's the Golden
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Shares and the World Wool Handling Championships start. It all
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: gets underway in Masterton tomorrow, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Your
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: producer Kevin told me he always used to get along
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: on Thursday night from Miss Golden Shares. I don't think
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: they have that anymore. That may no longer be politically palatable.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Not that I'm judging Kevin at all. Are the heather
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: So that gets underway tomorrow. Joel Henery is a hot favorite.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Second favorite as former New Zealand Rep. And Cook Island's Rep.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Karen Herbert. She's represented New Zealand and wall Handling and
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: there are two members of the New Zealand team. Remembering
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: they're not only competing for the Golden Shares at domestic competition,
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: they're also competing for the World champs. So Marika Braddock
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: is third favorite for the Open waoll Handling title. At
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: seven dollars fifty. The interesting one for me is when
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: it comes to the World Open Sharing Championships. So the
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: twenty fourteen winner, Roland Smith, this is a blog who
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: spends most of his time driving tractors these days, and
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: he's had quite a few injury problems to get over.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: He's a surprising in my mind, clear favorite for the
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: world title at a dollar seventy five. From his teammate
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Toer Henderson, who's the hot sharer in New Zealand at
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: the moment three point fifty, and then the Scottish Kiwi
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: he will be representing Scotland. Gavin Much is third at
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: four dollars. The rest of the field's quite a way back.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: And I say surprising for Roland Smith because Tower Hendon
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: is Tower Henderson should I say is actually a favorite
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: to retain his Golden Shares title at three dollars fifty.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Leon Samuels, former winner a couple of years ago, at
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: four bucks, and Gavin Much and Roland Smith at five
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: dollars fifty each. And I guess the logic there is
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Roland Smith hasn't done as much sharing as the others.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: To win the world title, he'll have to go through
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: less competitors than he willoth. He wants to win his
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: nation's Golden Shares Open title.
• 4:21
