So when the old housing market's a bit flat, strategic improvements are your best investment.

So you're getting the exact kitchen you want.

You're adding value to your home.

You're saving thousands in the process.

You do it.

U-D-U-I-T.

And the customers, of course, will end up saying, I did it myself.

asking mike why are we blaming the iran war for unemployment i'll come back to that's a fair question good morning mike can you please ask the politicians how the tb1 news can say the labour greens and maori party can form a government when chippy has stated he wouldn't work with the maori party he's only partially said he won't work with the maori party he said they need to do some work so he's not completely ruled out and the poll suggests it's just a collection of numbers it's the center left it's the center right if you add the center left and as i said or explained earlier on

It's a false poll because their assumption, which is not a snapshot, not part of the poll, their assumption was if the Maori Party retain all six seats, which we all know they're not going to, so therefore they don't have six, you can't add them together.

But that's a basic answer to your question.

But the interesting thing around blaming Iran for the unemployment...

I'll work you through it because there's a very direct connection.

Elbow's got the tax or is getting the tax through out of the budget in Australia.

That and other matters with our good friend Steve Price.

But moments away in Australia after the news on the Mike Hosking Breakfast.

So to answer the question, why are we blaming the Iran war for employment?

So when you close the strait, the oil doesn't go through and plastics don't go through and the ceramic industry in India doesn't work anymore.

So eventually that gets through to New Zealand and it gets through immediately with the price of petrol.

As the price of petrol becomes a thing, we get in a funk.

We've seen all the surveys around that.
