Speaker 1: The issues, the interviews and the insight. Ryan Bridge on
0:05
Speaker 1: early erdship with r the Supercenter, explore r V successories
0:09
Speaker 1: and servicing all in one news.
0:11
Speaker 2: Talks the morning six after five. Great to have your
0:13
Speaker 2: company this morning. Another big four for dairy prices will
0:16
Speaker 2: bring you across that and police targets. They're trying to
0:19
Speaker 2: deal with trust at police. We'll look at that before
0:21
Speaker 2: six this morning. We're in the UK. More prisoners accidentally
0:24
Speaker 2: released there and Liam Lawson gets his seat as expected.
0:29
Speaker 1: The agenda.
0:31
Speaker 2: It is Wednesday, the third December. We've heard this before,
0:35
Speaker 2: but Zelensky reckons they are closer than ever to ending
0:38
Speaker 2: the war.
0:39
Speaker 3: Does something still need to be work tapped from what time?
0:43
Speaker 3: America's taking serious steps to one way and our times
0:48
Speaker 3: and I'm sure that this is our common task for
0:50
Speaker 3: everyone in Europe is to really and this there war,
0:55
Speaker 3: not just to get to course.
0:56
Speaker 2: And talks are happening in Moscow right now, and Putin
1:00
Speaker 2: apparently has just left the Kremlin on way to them
1:02
Speaker 2: and his Trump's son in law, Kushna, he's the Wickcoff's
1:06
Speaker 2: going to.
1:06
Speaker 4: The wording of what compromises could be made to try
1:10
Speaker 4: and satisfy both parties. That's what's being presented to the Kremlin.
1:14
Speaker 4: When the meeting with Putin and Wickoff and Kushna finally happens.
1:18
Speaker 4: Big question is whether Putin's going to accept that, whether
1:21
Speaker 4: he thinks those potential concessions go far enough they give
1:27
Speaker 4: Russia the victory that Putin wants so much.
1:30
Speaker 2: To the US the White Houses, it wasn't Higgsith that
1:33
Speaker 2: ordered these sick and strike to finish off the Niico terrorists.
1:35
Speaker 2: It was a Navy admirald, So.
1:37
Speaker 4: Clarify, Admiral Bradley was the one to give that order
1:39
Speaker 4: for a second, and.
1:40
Speaker 2: He was well within his authority to do so.
1:42
Speaker 5: Admiral Browley worked well within his authority in the law.
1:45
Speaker 5: He directed the engagement to ensure the boat was destroyed
1:49
Speaker 5: and the threat of narco terrorists to the United States
1:51
Speaker 5: was completely eliminated.
1:53
Speaker 2: Now to Australia, fifteen year old because this band on
1:55
Speaker 2: social media, is it really going to work? Are they
1:58
Speaker 2: just going to get around that there's a fifteen year old,
2:00
Speaker 2: the teenager who is suing the government over the band
2:03
Speaker 2: and it's come to the place next week. His argument
2:05
Speaker 2: that the teenagers will just use it anyway.
2:09
Speaker 6: You just have to show an ID. What's stopping me
2:13
Speaker 6: or my peers from getting their older brother's ID or
2:17
Speaker 6: their parents' ID. I definitely know that a lot of
2:20
Speaker 6: my mates are going to do it, and I probably
2:23
Speaker 6: will do it as well.
2:25
Speaker 2: I love the honesty. Meanwhile, Trump is warning countries, you know,
2:29
Speaker 2: don't do this, don't you try and put training wheels
2:33
Speaker 2: on big tech giants. But Australia's Communication Minister Anika Wells
2:36
Speaker 2: is not worried about that.
2:37
Speaker 7: I am firm and unintimidated by those companies continuing to
2:41
Speaker 7: act the way that they have chosen to act for
2:43
Speaker 7: so long.
2:45
Speaker 1: Views and views you trust to start your day. It's
2:48
Speaker 1: earlier this ship with Bryan Bridge and are the Supercenter explore?
2:53
Speaker 1: Are these excess or reasons servicing fall than one? News
2:56
Speaker 1: talks'd be.
2:58
Speaker 2: Text has gone nine minutes after five this story. And
3:01
Speaker 2: normally I don't go near these stories about the school
3:03
Speaker 2: lunches because it's just at It's usually a bunch of
3:06
Speaker 2: unions slash teachers slash parents just having a big winge
3:09
Speaker 2: when if things were that bad, the kids would just
3:12
Speaker 2: eat the food. In this case, yeah, they were moldy lunches,
3:15
Speaker 2: so you kind of go, well, someone has to answer
3:18
Speaker 2: to that, you know, is it the worst thing in
3:20
Speaker 2: the world.
3:20
Speaker 8: No.
3:21
Speaker 2: In fact, the school says no kids were sick, no absences,
3:25
Speaker 2: no reports of kids needing treatment for food poisoning. There
3:28
Speaker 2: was one woman who spoke yesterday to Morning Report on
3:31
Speaker 2: our n Z who has if you're a parent saying,
3:33
Speaker 2: David seeenwoill cut the funding for the lunches. I mean,
3:37
Speaker 2: if you're a parent and your child needs a lunch,
3:40
Speaker 2: how do you have time to do an interview with
3:42
Speaker 2: Morning Report in the morning. Anyway, So there's this whole
3:45
Speaker 2: thing going on, and then the Food Safety regulated Food
3:49
Speaker 2: Safety Inza comes out and says, actually, we on the
3:53
Speaker 2: balance of probabilities, it was the school that was likely
3:57
Speaker 2: at fault. When they didn't quite say that, they just
4:00
Speaker 2: said that what's most likely to have happened is that
4:03
Speaker 2: the food was delivered on the Thursday and then the
4:06
Speaker 2: kids hated on the Monday and it's been left unrefrigerated
4:09
Speaker 2: in the meantime. And so basically it's on the school.
4:13
Speaker 2: That's the reading between the lines of it. Now, what
4:17
Speaker 2: makes this interesting is the school principle. This is the
4:20
Speaker 2: media frequent flyer that David Seymour referred to She comes
4:24
Speaker 2: out last night and says, no, no, they did not
4:28
Speaker 2: leave anything behind. They have brought rancid, moldy food into
4:33
Speaker 2: my school. Heated up on Monday. And how do I
4:36
Speaker 2: know this because I got she's got the receipts. CCTV
4:41
Speaker 2: footage proves this, and she says that she showed the
4:44
Speaker 2: footage to the food safety people. So who are you
4:49
Speaker 2: to believe? Either way? It's bad Like either way. If
4:53
Speaker 2: the principle of a school is lying, that's bad because
4:57
Speaker 2: they're in charge of a school. And if the Food
4:59
Speaker 2: Safe d people are lying, that's bad because they're in
5:02
Speaker 2: charge of food safety. This is just the most intriguing story.
5:06
Speaker 2: I say. To get to the bottom of this, release
5:08
Speaker 2: the footage, Ryan Bridge, five eleven, News TALKSB. We'll get
5:12
Speaker 2: to those Diry Trade auction numbers in a second. Plus
5:15
Speaker 2: Liam Lawson some reaction to every security seat as we
5:18
Speaker 2: expected he would, which is great. All of that Ahead
5:21
Speaker 2: News Talks dB, the news you need.
5:24
Speaker 1: This morning, and the in depth analysis early edition with
5:28
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and are the Supercenter explore r VS accessories
5:32
Speaker 1: and servicing fall in one.
5:33
Speaker 2: News TALKSB five thirteen We had another global dairy trade
5:36
Speaker 2: auction last night down four point three percent. That is
5:39
Speaker 2: another drop, and for whole milk powdered down two point
5:42
Speaker 2: four percent, not quite as bad as the overall average
5:44
Speaker 2: skim milk powder down one point six percent. They make
5:46
Speaker 2: up the majority of what we export. But look at
5:49
Speaker 2: what happens now to production both in the US and Europe,
5:52
Speaker 2: because is this price is more a reflection they reckon
5:56
Speaker 2: of supply coming on board rather than demand falling away
6:00
Speaker 2: on Terra's forecast has obviously already been downgraded, so we'll
6:02
Speaker 2: wait and see what happens would supply fourteen after five
6:05
Speaker 2: ray Bridge new data shows one in five school principles
6:08
Speaker 2: quit within their first year, and in total, almost one
6:11
Speaker 2: thousand left the job over the past three years. About
6:14
Speaker 2: three hundred and fifty jobs have been advertised each year
6:16
Speaker 2: since twenty twenty two, and an NZDI survey found seventy
6:20
Speaker 2: three percent of principles are likely to quit within five years.
6:23
Speaker 2: Andy England is Darfield's high school principal with us this morning. Gooday, Andy, yeah, man, Ryan,
6:29
Speaker 2: good to have you on the show. And now many
6:32
Speaker 2: of these principles left the role to go to a
6:34
Speaker 2: job at another school or were actually on a fixed
6:36
Speaker 2: term contract anyway, So did they just not like the
6:39
Speaker 2: school and move on to another one? You know, is
6:41
Speaker 2: this really big deal?
6:43
Speaker 6: Yeah?
6:44
Speaker 8: Quite possibly.
6:44
Speaker 9: I had a look to try and find that data
6:46
Speaker 9: and didn't see the ends of the eye stuff. I
6:48
Speaker 9: did have a look through some information in the secondary
6:51
Speaker 9: sector that I'm involved in, and it's a similar sort
6:54
Speaker 9: of pattern. All the accounts for the reasons. Moving on
6:57
Speaker 9: like that obviously may not be a bad thing, but
7:00
Speaker 9: I think the other points you've got in your article
7:02
Speaker 9: are quite right. It's a high pressure time and it
7:05
Speaker 9: would be fair to say that in the last five
7:06
Speaker 9: years pressures have increased. So, I mean, it's a beautiful job,
7:09
Speaker 9: but I think the first thing for me to say
7:11
Speaker 9: is it's a job that I love and when it's
7:14
Speaker 9: going well, it's the most amazing job in the world.
7:16
Speaker 9: But of course it's an exposed position. You're effectively a CEO,
7:20
Speaker 9: your heart of a community, which I think is a
7:24
Speaker 9: fantastic place to be. But things are going badly. You're
7:27
Speaker 9: also very visible to everybody and you reckon.
7:31
Speaker 2: This is not curriculum related. The stresses you're talking about
7:34
Speaker 2: over the last few years it's more COVID.
7:37
Speaker 9: Oh no, look at the curriculum stuff is it hasn't
7:41
Speaker 9: been going to go on going for a while. Increased
7:44
Speaker 9: pressure right now, I'm going to call it. Both the
7:47
Speaker 9: last government and this government have stuffed up change management
7:50
Speaker 9: really badly, i should say to and increasingly pushed us
7:54
Speaker 9: around as an educational football. So that puts a lot
7:56
Speaker 9: of pressure on principles who are like the rock in
8:00
Speaker 9: a rock and a hard place. I mean, you're standing
8:02
Speaker 9: in front of your community trying to lead in the
8:05
Speaker 9: direction that your your master's from from from politics want
8:08
Speaker 9: you to go. But at the same time you may
8:11
Speaker 9: not agree with all of that, and you may not
8:15
Speaker 9: you may see that it's actually having a harmful impact.
8:18
Speaker 9: You look for the Ministry of Education take a good lead,
8:20
Speaker 9: and that's been hopeless, hopeless when you start between those problems,
8:27
Speaker 9: it is hard to at times. It's hard to lead
8:29
Speaker 9: with the integrity that you'd like to when you get
8:31
Speaker 9: into the job as a principle.
8:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, is it is it. It's the job harder because
8:37
Speaker 2: the teachers have an idea of what they think they
8:39
Speaker 2: should be doing, and the government has its idea of
8:41
Speaker 2: what it should be doing. Shouldn't the teachers be doing
8:43
Speaker 2: what they told.
8:46
Speaker 9: Well to a point, But I mean, everybody has an opinion,
8:49
Speaker 9: and that's both politically. But I think one of the
8:51
Speaker 9: issues we're facing in this country compared to some others
8:53
Speaker 9: that are going through educational change, is that, as I say,
8:57
Speaker 9: both the last government and this government have just stamped
8:59
Speaker 9: there way on education, whereas in some smarter places that
9:04
Speaker 9: have extended the change period over say ten years.
9:06
Speaker 8: That.
9:08
Speaker 9: It allows two or three flavors of government to pass
9:10
Speaker 9: through it during that time. It allows for more effective
9:12
Speaker 9: change management, so people can be less stressed trying to
9:16
Speaker 9: do it. I mean, at the same time, we've had
9:19
Speaker 9: the post COVID environment, which we're probably sick of hearing,
9:21
Speaker 9: but it has led to polarization of society. We've got
9:25
Speaker 9: more sort of market consumer like demanding kind of parents.
9:30
Speaker 9: They know what they want their internet informed, for good
9:33
Speaker 9: or bad, and so the pressures we've got, increased neurodiversity
9:38
Speaker 9: in classrooms, actual funding has decreased to run schools.
9:43
Speaker 2: A whole bunch of stuff, whole bunch of issues going
9:46
Speaker 2: on there. Andy, I appreciate your time this morning. It's
9:48
Speaker 2: five to eighteen. That's Andy England. He's Dartfield High School
9:51
Speaker 2: principal with us so a good guy. We've had him
9:53
Speaker 2: on the show many times. I wonder whether the fact
9:56
Speaker 2: that the change is happening quickly from the government because
9:59
Speaker 2: the results of been so bad. News Talk's head be.
10:03
Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the day early
10:06
Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and r V Supercenter explore r
10:10
Speaker 1: v's accessories and servicing all in one News.
10:13
Speaker 2: Talks d B five twenty. A lot of interest in
10:15
Speaker 2: the food MOLDI food story, isn't there from the school
10:18
Speaker 2: in christ Church that Weirdly have you noticed it's not
10:20
Speaker 2: called a school, it's called a community campus. I don't
10:23
Speaker 2: know why they do that, but anyway, Ryan, they should
10:25
Speaker 2: be able to tell if the moldy food had been
10:27
Speaker 2: held by the school, because hopefully what was delivered on
10:30
Speaker 2: Thursday is likely to have been different to the meal
10:32
Speaker 2: that was delivered on the Monday. That is a good point.
10:35
Speaker 2: That is a very good point, and we will get
10:37
Speaker 2: to the bottom of this. Don't you worry about that, Ryan.
10:40
Speaker 2: The food story seems to have morphed into the biggest
10:42
Speaker 2: news item in the last couple of days. Will there
10:44
Speaker 2: be an official review like the mixed skimming case. Well there,
10:47
Speaker 2: damn well should be Ryan Bridge. William Lawson will keep
10:50
Speaker 2: his Racing Bulls seat for twenty twenty six Red Bulls
10:52
Speaker 2: confirmed laws and will stay on and the junior team
10:54
Speaker 2: alongside Arvid Lindblood, who's earning his F one deboot, a
10:58
Speaker 2: Yuki Sonoda getting the boot. Isaac Hedger is stepping up
11:02
Speaker 2: next to Max Verstappen. Eric Thompson is former motorcycle racer
11:05
Speaker 2: and Herold motorsport journalist with us this morning, Eric, Good morning.
11:09
Speaker 10: Good morning, Ryan. How are you.
11:10
Speaker 2: I'm very well, Thank you. No, You've known nine Lamb
11:12
Speaker 2: since he was just a wee lad thirteen or so.
11:16
Speaker 2: This is good news for him to be staying in contention.
11:21
Speaker 6: Ma.
11:21
Speaker 10: I'd like it's a shame it's the same as a
11:24
Speaker 10: race this weekend because I think he would have been
11:26
Speaker 10: puttying all night as he possibly could have, you know.
11:31
Speaker 10: And a relief that he's got a seat for next
11:33
Speaker 10: year because it's especially Formula one's cutthroat anyway, and I've
11:39
Speaker 10: always been a big believer and a lot of people
11:41
Speaker 10: don't quite understand. I think sometimes Ryan that just to
11:44
Speaker 10: gift a Formula one and to get on that grid
11:47
Speaker 10: is a mountain higher than Everest to climb, and you
11:50
Speaker 10: tend to forget he's one of twenty of the best drivers.
11:53
Speaker 8: In the world.
11:54
Speaker 10: But to be confirmed for next year will be a
11:57
Speaker 10: mighty relief for him, his support crew, his management, Bamba's dad,
12:00
Speaker 10: his family and all the other people that have supported
12:03
Speaker 10: him emotionally this year. And I just think it is
12:06
Speaker 10: a fantastic result.
12:08
Speaker 2: Eric, how much does he have to prove this year?
12:12
Speaker 10: Well, for twenty twenty six.
12:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry, yeah.
12:17
Speaker 10: Sorry mate. Well he's still got a race to go
12:19
Speaker 10: this year, so he can't just suddenly sit back and chill. No,
12:22
Speaker 10: you're right there, he can't. You know, there's still something
12:24
Speaker 10: to go in this year. But for twenty twenty six,
12:27
Speaker 10: it's that will be the year for him to cement
12:31
Speaker 10: his position on a Formula One grid, you know, and
12:35
Speaker 10: once you do that, you know you could get a
12:37
Speaker 10: five to ten year career.
12:39
Speaker 6: You know.
12:39
Speaker 10: There's a lot of drivers there that a lot of
12:41
Speaker 10: teams really appreciated for their solid performance. And another thing
12:47
Speaker 10: that is incredibly important to these teams as constructors points championships.
12:52
Speaker 10: A lot of the teams, although they say they like
12:54
Speaker 10: the drivers, they think it's a wonderful those teams want
12:58
Speaker 10: to win the constructors or the Man of Factorious title
13:00
Speaker 10: because that's where all the money comes from the bank,
13:04
Speaker 10: their chunk of change. The bank roll the teams. So
13:07
Speaker 10: for next year, part of Lem's job will be to
13:09
Speaker 10: keep burning points in every race. Of course they wanted
13:13
Speaker 10: to win or get on the podium without a doubt,
13:15
Speaker 10: but it's more about accumulating points. So at the end
13:18
Speaker 10: of twenty twenty six they stayed v car Red Bulls,
13:21
Speaker 10: stayed fift six seventh in the championship, pick up tens
13:25
Speaker 10: of millions of euros to go towards the following year,
13:28
Speaker 10: and if he can cement himself next year, he'll be
13:31
Speaker 10: there for as long as he probably wants to be.
13:33
Speaker 2: Brilliant. Fantastic result, great news to be confirmed for us
13:36
Speaker 2: this morning. Eric, appreciate your time. Eric Thompson, former motorcycle racer,
13:39
Speaker 2: hero motorsport journalist on the news about Liam Lawson twenty
13:42
Speaker 2: four minutes after five on news Talks. They'd be next.
13:45
Speaker 2: If you didn't see this story yesterday about a guy
13:49
Speaker 2: from the North Island who stole basically stole the frauded
13:53
Speaker 2: one point eight million bucks from US taxpayers. I'll tell
13:56
Speaker 2: you about it next the early.
13:58
Speaker 1: Edition Full the Show podcast on IHARM Radio Power by Newstalks, Eb.
14:04
Speaker 2: Five, twenty six News Talks AB. This story should shock everybody,
14:08
Speaker 2: but sadly, I don't think it's going to the headline
14:11
Speaker 2: from yesterday. Former COVID response leads stole one point eight
14:15
Speaker 2: million dollars from dhb's a from US from taxpayers. Name
14:20
Speaker 2: is Alistair Thorby. This guy was twenty five years old,
14:24
Speaker 2: yet somehow managed to be in charge of the dhb's
14:27
Speaker 2: response to the COVID pandemic in the Low and North Island.
14:31
Speaker 2: How he bought cars, a holiday, a house even with
14:35
Speaker 2: this money. He was an MiQ boss basically submitted invoices
14:39
Speaker 2: for work that never happened. One invoice was for three
14:43
Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars. Two of the companies the invoice four
14:46
Speaker 2: didn't even exist. Now this is bad for two reasons. One,
14:50
Speaker 2: howard on Earth does some twenty five year old who's
14:52
Speaker 2: been in the job for just five months bill one
14:55
Speaker 2: point eight million dollars and get those invoices paid. That's
14:59
Speaker 2: criminal who signed off on the checks, who was in charge?
15:03
Speaker 2: That is outrageous. Number Two, the timing. The judge in
15:06
Speaker 2: the case points out that the money went out the
15:07
Speaker 2: door at a time when the government was scrambling to
15:10
Speaker 2: deal with COVID. Except this guy was employed October twenty
15:14
Speaker 2: twenty one to June twenty twenty two. We were letting
15:19
Speaker 2: DJs through the border for rhythm and vines. By then
15:22
Speaker 2: the Wiggles were performing Big Red Car at Spark Arena,
15:26
Speaker 2: So that doesn't add up in my mind. It wasn't
15:29
Speaker 2: Panic stations. It was business as usual by then for COVID.
15:34
Speaker 2: So who was writing the checks on our behalf? Something
15:37
Speaker 2: tells me this guy probably wasn't alone in taking the purse,
15:40
Speaker 2: taking us for a rider's taxpayers. Give frauds toes an inch,
15:43
Speaker 2: they'll take a mile. This was, after all, peak adern
15:46
Speaker 2: Hipkin's money tap error, and the tap was on and
15:50
Speaker 2: it was hosing out. We were throwing money out the
15:52
Speaker 2: window like there was no tomorrow. Was this the tip
15:55
Speaker 2: of the iceberg? And will anyone other than the guy
15:58
Speaker 2: who duped us all be held responsible for the fact
16:02
Speaker 2: it was allowed to happen in the first place. Bryan
16:04
Speaker 2: Bridge by twenty eight, don't hate billionaires. There's so many
16:09
Speaker 2: texts coming in on the school lunches, which I love.
16:12

17:46
Speaker 2: News Talks B twenty four Away from the Sex on
17:51
Speaker 2: your Wednesday morning. You're on News Talks. It'd be great
17:53
Speaker 2: to have your company coming up before six. The Police
17:56
Speaker 2: Association on their new Targets Somewhere in the UK with
17:58
Speaker 2: Gavin Gray. I'm thinking this morning of a christ Church
18:01
Speaker 2: Jerry owner the or Power Road convenience store. I should
18:06
Speaker 2: say Robb's three young people. One of them has been arrested,
18:09
Speaker 2: a fourteen year old. For goodness sake, it's been arrested
18:11
Speaker 2: and his mates are still on the run. But the
18:14
Speaker 2: dairy owner's name is kam Lesh Patel, and cam Lesh
18:17
Speaker 2: Patel's daughter has spoken about his condition. He was stabbed,
18:21
Speaker 2: goes to work in the morning, goes in early, in fact,
18:24
Speaker 2: goes to work every day from six thirty am to
18:26
Speaker 2: nine pm, works hard for his money. Good on you,
18:29
Speaker 2: cam Lesh stabbed just for doing his job. They come in,
18:34
Speaker 2: they take allegedly they take the till, and he chases
18:37
Speaker 2: them out the door because he says, I'm not going
18:39
Speaker 2: to let this happen. This guy has already had a
18:42
Speaker 2: gun pointed at him previously, he's fought off a masked
18:45
Speaker 2: man with his wife and his daughter previously. These are
18:48
Speaker 2: on separate occasions. And now he's been stabbed in their hand.
18:53
Speaker 2: He's got damaged to his veins, three stab wounds. Poor
18:56
Speaker 2: guy still in hospital. Family's worried about him. Of course,
18:59
Speaker 2: good on you. I hope he's okay. And the reason
19:01
Speaker 2: that he got stabbed, and I'm not saying you should
19:04
Speaker 2: run after people, that is because he chased them out
19:07
Speaker 2: the door. I hope you're all right, cam Lesh, and
19:11
Speaker 2: you can get back to your hard work soon. It's
19:12
Speaker 2: twenty three to two sexw reporters around the country, Clum
19:16
Speaker 2: and Toned and Colum, good morning, morning, right, tell us
19:19
Speaker 2: about this otago U need to study basically says, where
19:22
Speaker 2: you are what you eat. Yeah, that's it's correct.
19:25
Speaker 8: The look.
19:26
Speaker 11: The results of the study are a world first. It
19:29
Speaker 11: shows a connection between glowing skin and a healthy diet.
19:32
Speaker 11: They've uncovered researchers that is, have uncovered a rich vitamin
19:36
Speaker 11: CEA diet has more skin benefits than your skin products
19:40
Speaker 11: off the shelf. So participants here they ate two key
19:43
Speaker 11: we fruit a day for eight weeks, revealing that delivering
19:46
Speaker 11: vitamin C to the skin from within boosts collagen production
19:50
Speaker 11: more effectively than your creams. Also improves skin thickness, strength,
19:54
Speaker 11: and overall revitalization. The lead authors pre Professor Marguerite's visus.
19:58
Speaker 11: She says, skins extremely responsive to diet. So the more
20:03
Speaker 11: vitamin C that we eat are the more that's reflected
20:05
Speaker 11: in our skin.
20:06
Speaker 2: Two key we free today and we'll all look younger. Great.
20:09
Speaker 11: Apparently capsure comes in broccoli also good as well.
20:12
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, just writting that down and we'll tell
20:15
Speaker 2: Hosking as well. How's your weather?
20:18
Speaker 11: The odd shower for toded and today, but clearing late
20:20
Speaker 11: afternoon the high fifteen.
20:22
Speaker 2: Nice one, thank you clear in christ Church morning, clear,
20:24
Speaker 2: good morning. Our police have set up a special operation.
20:28
Speaker 2: Well this is timely after the dairy incident in Spike
20:31
Speaker 2: and Youth crime. Yeah, that dairy incident is terrible, as
20:34
Speaker 2: you say.
20:35
Speaker 12: The man who owns the or Power dairy and that
20:37
Speaker 12: fourteen year old arrested. As you said there, they are
20:39
Speaker 12: looking for further offenders in relation to that particular crime.
20:43
Speaker 12: But this comes in amongst a couple of weeks of
20:46
Speaker 12: a spike in crime around christ Church. Police say they
20:49
Speaker 12: really want to keep the momentum in knuckling down on
20:52
Speaker 12: this youth offending, specifically in the wider christ Church area,
20:55
Speaker 12: because we have faced this peak. Assistant Commissioner Tousha Penny
20:59
Speaker 12: says the operation they've launched will help to support specialist
21:03
Speaker 12: youth officers while also working alongside ordering a tamody key.
21:07
Speaker 12: But it is broader than an interagency issue. She says
21:11
Speaker 12: they need to work with communities and FARNO to make
21:14
Speaker 12: long term change, especially as they head into a potentially
21:18
Speaker 12: high volume crime period.
21:19
Speaker 7: Moving towards summer.
21:22
Speaker 2: How's your weather.
21:23
Speaker 12: Clouding over this morning? There is a few spots of
21:25
Speaker 12: rain about southeasterly strengthening for a time and a maximum
21:29
Speaker 12: of fifteen degrees.
21:30
Speaker 2: I think clear. Thank you, maxim Wellington, Hey Max, good morning. Now.
21:33
Speaker 2: I saw this story yesterday. Ratepayer money wasted badly managed
21:37
Speaker 2: contracts and actually they are not sure how much.
21:40
Speaker 13: Yeah, this is the type of story that almost feels
21:42
Speaker 13: like it was written by AI because it's so predictable.
21:46
Speaker 13: What we do know is this a Deloitte probe of
21:48
Speaker 13: the City Council's finances has discovered poor oversight of council
21:52
Speaker 13: contracts could be costing ratepayers tens of millions of dollars
21:56
Speaker 13: poor bookkeeping. Ultimately, it's of course, on to the last week.
22:00
Speaker 13: Last week's revelation that the Council's probably bloated my well
22:04
Speaker 13: over three hundred rolls as well. But I'll give you
22:07
Speaker 13: a figure that really boils the blood. Only twenty percent
22:10
Speaker 13: of contracts with external providers are even being tracked in
22:14
Speaker 13: the council's contract management system. The correct processes are just
22:18
Speaker 13: being skipped over. They're rolling over the contracts without any
22:21
Speaker 13: sort of oversight. And the report estimates we would save
22:25
Speaker 13: tens of millions of dollars if senior council staff just
22:28
Speaker 13: did their job. The newer chief executive concedes they're not
22:31
Speaker 13: doing best practice. The new mayor says, well, it's good
22:34
Speaker 13: we know now not just Wellington Water that's been ripping
22:37
Speaker 13: off ratepayers.
22:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you're just confirmation Wellington's totally crap the bed,
22:41
Speaker 2: haven't they?
22:42
Speaker 13: How's the weather exactly rainy for much of today with
22:45
Speaker 13: stronger southerly seventeen today's high.
22:47
Speaker 2: Nice one, thanks Max, Luke, says Ryan. There's nothing new
22:50
Speaker 2: in that world first study that we lid with KELLM. Yeah,
22:53
Speaker 2: I suppose this is not what you are what you
22:55
Speaker 2: eat basically neither good morning.
22:57
Speaker 7: Good morning. Well that's what everyone is talking about it
23:00
Speaker 7: here we fruit.
23:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, a couple of keepy fruit today you're got ten
23:03
Speaker 2: years younger.
23:03
Speaker 7: Teen years younger face fruit.
23:06
Speaker 2: But that's going to change. How much retinal scrub or
23:10
Speaker 2: not scrub, but moisturizer will cost you. How much apparently
23:14
Speaker 2: and I heard this from a reliable source yesterday, two
23:16
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty dollars for a little cart and a
23:19
Speaker 2: little punet of it get out of town. Yeah this
23:21
Speaker 2: mean to make you look younger and more vibrant or
23:23
Speaker 2: what even just stick a ke fruit down you godly?
23:26
Speaker 7: Well yes, and I mean people were just saying out
23:28
Speaker 7: there it's keep fruit.
23:29
Speaker 10: The gold.
23:29
Speaker 7: I see, I don't like the gold.
23:30
Speaker 2: I like the green, I don't like the real that's
23:32
Speaker 2: at which one grand gold to get a neck now
23:35
Speaker 2: the hot pink cycle way and people will know this
23:38
Speaker 2: in Auckland celebrating ten years today? Is anyone using it yet?
23:42
Speaker 7: Didn't you know it was called the light pas I
23:44
Speaker 7: didn't know. I said to the news or what was
23:47
Speaker 7: this that? They said, it's called the light path. They said,
23:49
Speaker 7: oh my goodness, and I said the same thing. Who's
23:51
Speaker 7: using it? And I was poo poo, shut down. They
23:54
Speaker 7: said there are lots of people using it.
23:55
Speaker 2: Oh whatever.
23:56
Speaker 7: The first couple of years when I was I was
23:58
Speaker 7: the only one down there on that pink path. But
24:00
Speaker 7: happy birthday because apparently over the last ten years, cumulative
24:06
Speaker 7: two million cycle trips over the light pass.
24:09
Speaker 2: Over ten years. Hang on, we're going to do the
24:12
Speaker 2: maths on that.
24:14
Speaker 7: Apparently the Auckland Council says just last year alone, a
24:16
Speaker 7: quarter of a million cycling trips were recording on that pathway.
24:20
Speaker 2: Okay, I think the problem with it is that doesn't
24:23
Speaker 2: go anywhere. It doesn't link on too the CBD. Yeah,
24:26
Speaker 2: it doesn't link up with anything at either end. I
24:29
Speaker 2: had run on it before a.
24:30
Speaker 7: Couple yes, well I think more people run and walk
24:33
Speaker 7: on it. Ye mind you now you're going to be
24:35
Speaker 7: inundated with all the cyclists messaging you, texting you go
24:38
Speaker 7: oh yeahay.
24:39
Speaker 2: Shut up. Yes, cycles aren't listening to the show, right, Wow?
24:46
Speaker 7: Wait do you start with this? We've got rain, heavy falls,
24:48
Speaker 7: thunderstorm's downpaurs hoil, possible gale force ones tonight. I kid
24:52
Speaker 7: you not like twenty five?
24:53
Speaker 2: All right, we'll take here never thank you. It is
24:56
Speaker 2: seventeen minutes away from sex news talks. It'd be we'll
24:58
Speaker 2: get to the UK would give it next news talks
25:01
Speaker 2: they be. It is fourteen minutes away from six bit
25:04
Speaker 2: of Arjibaji over. This is in the East China Sea
25:07
Speaker 2: over between Japan and China. You know that they've got
25:10
Speaker 2: a new prime minister there in Japan. Takaichi is her name.
25:13
Speaker 2: She's a bit of a hawk on China and has
25:16
Speaker 2: mates of comments about Taiwan. China doesn't like them. So
25:19
Speaker 2: it's all kind of kicking off there, not in a
25:22
Speaker 2: major way, just a bit of scrapping. You know, they
25:24
Speaker 2: are in my waters, No, you're in my waters, overlapping claims,
25:27
Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff. Bit of a flash point
25:29
Speaker 2: one to watch in the next couple of days. Two weeks.
25:33
Speaker 2: Also this morning I saw it the very interesting article
25:37
Speaker 2: from the Wall Street Journal this morning about you know
25:39
Speaker 2: how everyone says on we can green the economy and
25:43
Speaker 2: everything will be fine. Here is what this Wall Street
25:46
Speaker 2: Journal article talks about With Europe. European politicians pitched the
25:50
Speaker 2: continent's green transition to voters as a win win. Citizens
25:54
Speaker 2: would benefit from green jobs, cheap, abundant solar and wind energy,
25:57
Speaker 2: alongside of sharp reduction in carbon emissions. Two decades on,
26:01
Speaker 2: the promises largely proved costly for consumers and damaging for
26:06
Speaker 2: the economy. Well well, who would have thought and where
26:08
Speaker 2: have we heard this before? Europe has succeeded in slashing
26:11
Speaker 2: carbon emissions more than any other region, thirty percent from
26:14
Speaker 2: two thousand and five levels, compared with a seventeen percent
26:18
Speaker 2: drop for the US. But along the way, the rush
26:21
Speaker 2: to renewables has helped drive up electricity prices in much
26:24
Speaker 2: of the continent. Germany now has the highest domestic electricity
26:28
Speaker 2: prices in the developed world. The UK has the highest
26:32
Speaker 2: industrial electricity rates. That this is according to the International
26:36
Speaker 2: Energy Agency. Italy isn't far behind. Average electricity prices for
26:40
Speaker 2: heavy industries in the European Union remain roughly twice those
26:44
Speaker 2: in the US and fifty percent above China. Energy prices
26:49
Speaker 2: unsurprisingly quite volatile because renewables have increased. It is crippling
26:55
Speaker 2: industry and you cannot say that going green doesn't cost
26:58
Speaker 2: you a thing twelve to cent Bryan bred John News talks,
27:02
Speaker 2: there have been Police Commissioner Richard Chambers set out new
27:05
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six targets. This is to lift public trust
27:07
Speaker 2: in police. He wants eighty percent confidence in the force,
27:10
Speaker 2: eighty percent satisfaction and how they deal with the public,
27:13
Speaker 2: and a fifteen percent drop in public violence and retail crime. Steve,
27:16
Speaker 2: what is Police Association President with me this morning? Steve?
27:19
Speaker 2: Good morning, Ladena, Thanks for having me, But so a
27:22
Speaker 2: bit of a jump that's needed. Sixty nine percent currently
27:25
Speaker 2: trust and confidence in police? Can you do that? Do
27:27
Speaker 2: you Reckon?
27:29
Speaker 8: Oh? Look, we absolutely can. And it's good to have
27:32
Speaker 8: goals and set challenges. I mean, who wouldn't want to
27:36
Speaker 8: achieve eighty percent of New Zealanders having trust and confidence
27:40
Speaker 8: in the police. It's something that we all strive for.
27:43
Speaker 8: What we need to know is sort of the detail
27:45
Speaker 8: behind that, and our members want to know how are
27:48
Speaker 8: we going to get there? What's the details? That's what's
27:51
Speaker 8: lacking at the moment.
27:52
Speaker 2: Must be a bit frustrating for frontline, because it's actually
27:55
Speaker 2: top brasses that's been doing more damage than they have.
28:00
Speaker 8: Important to note that our members are doing it pretty
28:02
Speaker 8: tough out there at the moment. They're facing ridicule from
28:05
Speaker 8: the public as a result of what's happened out of
28:08
Speaker 8: the Mixican in case, and that's really tough on the membership.
28:11
Speaker 8: So you know, a focus has to be on them
28:14
Speaker 8: and building that trust, and focus on building the relationships
28:18
Speaker 8: between the executive and the constaborary employees if we're going
28:21
Speaker 8: to have any chance of heading these targets.
28:24
Speaker 2: What sort of ridicule are they getting.
28:28
Speaker 8: Oh, look, there's taunts out there from the public. There's
28:32
Speaker 8: all sorts, really, but you know that is from a
28:36
Speaker 8: limited few of the public. But our members are seeing it,
28:39
Speaker 8: they are facing it. You know, we've got front facing front,
28:43
Speaker 8: counter staff, one O five staff. I can Stabburary out
28:46
Speaker 8: there on the beat. They're all suffering a bit of
28:48
Speaker 8: taunting and a bit of a bit of jib as
28:51
Speaker 8: a result of this.
28:51
Speaker 2: It sucks. There's always going to be a portion of
28:54
Speaker 2: society who will never trust police no matter what you do.
28:56
Speaker 8: Right there is that consider and you know, not everyone's
29:02
Speaker 8: happy with us and what we do. But ultimately it's
29:05
Speaker 8: about getting out there, you know, getting into those crimes,
29:09
Speaker 8: you know, stopping those burglaries. That's where we build the
29:12
Speaker 8: trust and confidence and that's where the vast majority of
29:14
Speaker 8: New Zealanders see policing, and that's where they build that
29:19
Speaker 8: trust and confidence from seeing what our members are doing
29:22
Speaker 8: out there every day.
29:23
Speaker 2: Part of the problem I think for police has been
29:26
Speaker 2: actually the justice system. So you guys have been holding
29:30
Speaker 2: up your endo, the bargain and then they go through
29:31
Speaker 2: the justice system and it's a wet bus ticket. Is
29:34
Speaker 2: that something that frontline offices actually find annoying?
29:40
Speaker 8: Look, it is tough. We are seeing more people heading
29:43
Speaker 8: to prison, more people heading to jail. We are seeing
29:47
Speaker 8: some sentences that are that are appropriate and good, but
29:53
Speaker 8: there's still some work to do there in the judicial system,
29:56
Speaker 8: just to make sure that you know, the effort that
29:57
Speaker 8: our members are putting in is reflecting sentences that are
30:00
Speaker 8: being handed out.
30:01
Speaker 2: Appreciate your time this morning, Steve Steve Watt, Police Association President,
30:05
Speaker 2: On those new targets that Chambers is set. It is

30:23
Speaker 2: The UK government, you know how they keep releasing prisoners
30:26
Speaker 2: over there and they shouldn't have released them. They're doing
30:29
Speaker 2: it accidentally. Well, they have admitted now twelve prisoners accidentally
30:33
Speaker 2: released just in the past three weeks. Two of them
30:36
Speaker 2: they still haven't managed to find. This is on top
30:38
Speaker 2: of the ninety one who were freed by a mistake
30:41
Speaker 2: between April and October and England and Wales. There's no
30:44
Speaker 2: one checking Ryan Bridge, not Mike is in the studio.
30:49
Speaker 2: Make good morning, greetings Ryan. Someone says the price of
30:52
Speaker 2: Kiwi fruit be cheaper to get a facelift. Did you
30:54
Speaker 2: see the story this morning about the a study out
30:57
Speaker 2: of the University of Otago. Because I know you're in
31:00
Speaker 2: your beauty regiment. If you eat vitamin see high does
31:04
Speaker 2: vitamin C, your skin will be far better off than
31:06
Speaker 2: if you put creams on your face. It's got an.
31:08
Speaker 14: Extremely good skin for a person my age and having
31:11
Speaker 14: been and no, no, no, don't look at it that way,
31:13
Speaker 14: because I've been checked by experts, people in the makeup department.
31:17
Speaker 14: When I was working in television. There was just a
31:19
Speaker 14: constant commentary of how lovely my skin was.
31:23
Speaker 2: For a person my age, it wasn't just makeup art.
31:26
Speaker 2: It's trying to play. Because I puffed you up before
31:27
Speaker 2: you go on there.
31:28
Speaker 14: I thought that. Initially, I thought, hang on, this is
31:30
Speaker 14: a stitch up here, this is how television works. But no,
31:32
Speaker 14: apparently it is, and it's got to it's the green
31:35
Speaker 14: because of course people don't like the green. They're like
31:38
Speaker 14: the gold because it sugar is very, very sweet. But
31:41
Speaker 14: the green is where the action is. And if you
31:43
Speaker 14: have a couple of greens per day, you can do
31:45
Speaker 14: no wrong.
31:45
Speaker 2: And do you put cream on at night? Of course
31:49
Speaker 2: I do.
31:50
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's got written on in it absolutely.
31:51
Speaker 2: Rettel's bloody expense. I found out yesterday from third that
31:55
Speaker 2: it's two hundred and fifty dollars just for a little.
31:57
