  Speaker 3: before we reached them.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: They were abducted alive on the morning of October seventh. Yeah,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: it's pretty hard to hear. It's prompted protests right across Israel,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: including from the country's largest union. Now what they want
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: is a strike to pressure the government to make a

  Speaker 2: No One wants a tire fire. Now. Did you see
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: the story of the weekend. I'm sure you did about
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: the measly toast at Wellington Hospital. We'd love your views
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: on this this morning, nine two ninety two. So it's
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: new mums, you've just given birth. I don't know what
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: it's like obviously, what that feels like. You can imagine
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: just you know, the amount of screaming that goes on
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: that it must be hard anyway. Apparently what you feel
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: like is a piece of toast, So let them have
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: a piece of toast. But not so Wellington Hospital. They
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: pulled back on the service, if that's what you can
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: call it, and some people say it was cost saving.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: I'm not entirely sure at this point whether it was
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: cost saving Health New zealandce is it was about you know,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: dietary requirements and toast not being healthy enough. Honestly, come on,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: it's got to be cost cutting. I was raised on toast.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Please raise your hand if you were also raised on toast.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Were all raised on toast. If it's that bad for
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: us that you can't even get it to a mother
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: who's just given birth to a child, probably one of
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: the most strenuous physical experiences they will ever go through
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: in their life. Apparently you get a cold sandwich now instead,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: there you go in ten minutes after five news talks,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: hea'd be nine two nine two. What did you you
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: know when you were after you'd given what did you
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: feel like? You know, I presumably didn't feel like a
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: curry or a let's go, let's go get fish and chips,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: but what did you feel like? Mothers nine to number
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: to text and also whether you think this has just
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: been a bit measly Also this morning, jd Vance he
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: continuing to sort of tank in the polls over in
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: the years. By the way we spent it set on
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Friday that Harris was having her first interview was Seeing
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: in which I watched on Friday afternoon. Man, what a
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: waste of time. It was about eighteen minutes long. No,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: the questions weren't really challenging. There wasn't a lot of
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: follow up. And yes, Tim Walls did sit there like
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: a spare at a wedding, didn't say much. I mean,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: she handled the questions relatively well. But anyway, this morning
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: it's about JD. Vance because he continues to tank in
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: the polls. Have a listened to what he said. This
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: was in a podcast years ago, and they keep dragging
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: stuff up. This is what he said years ago about
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: going to women who to elite colleges and the promises
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: and what they think will happen to their lives. Have
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: a quick listen. And so you have people at your
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: law school, you have women who think that, truly the
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: liberationist path is to spend ninety hours a week working
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: in a cubicle at Mackenzie instead of starting a family
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: and having children, which is what they should be doing.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: You know, that's the course. Anyway, have a listen where
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: does this lead women emotionally? What they don't realize, and
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: I think some of them do eventually realize it, thank god,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: is that that is actually a path to misery, go
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: to work and be miserable women. Anyway, that's why he's
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: not doing too well. I mean, he does well for
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Trump supporters, he doesn't do well more generally interesting. We'll
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: have later an update on Trump. He's talking about voting
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: in favor of liberalizing cannabis laws in Florida, and he's
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: also giving out well It says the government will be
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: paying for IVF treatment. Harris says this is flip flopping.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Nine two nine two is the number to text twelve
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: after five News and views.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: You trust to start your day is Billy Edition with

• 6:13
  Speaker 2: people texting in fourteen after five, Ryan, I felt like
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: sleep after giving birth, not eating or Ryan, I loved
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: having toast. It wasn't straight after birth, but once I
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: felt like eating, it was the only thing I felt
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: like eating. This is after willing. The hospital is putting
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: the kaibosh on free toast for mums have just gone
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: through labor. Four kids, Ryan, four kids. The best four
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: pieces of toast I have ever had must be taken
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: with Milo. Quarter past five, Ryan Bridge rights lots to
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: get through here. Busy time for our red meat sector
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: at the moment. Export numbers for July we've just had
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: those out. They were a bit of a mixed bag.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: China down thirty seven percent to one hundred and fifty
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: three million. The United States was our biggest export market
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: in July, worth almost two hundred and fifty million. Actually
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: that now is four months running. Plus we've had a
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: few weather bombs affecting landing season, which is still underway
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: in some places, and also newborn livestock. Joining us this
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: morning is Dan Bolton, silver Fin Farm's chief executive.
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: Hey Dan, good morning, Ryan, how are you well.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Thanks for coming on the show. I really
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: appreciate it. Let's start with the weather because it's that
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: we've had a few snowstorms and I know there's predicted
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: to continue for the start of September. How they how
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: the farmers faring.
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's you know, we're what day two into the
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: new season off spring, so it's not going too bad. Obviously,
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: it's pretty volatile out there. There's a bit of a
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: bit of weather moving through the through the country. But
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: our farmers always a step into the new season with
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: a bit of optimism, an opportunity to reset. But you know,
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: they're also coming out of some pretty tough, tough conditions.
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: You know, some farmers up the East coast the store
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: recovering from the impacts of Gabrielle noticeably dealing with things
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: like lesser animal conditions which impacting productivity in North Knterbury.
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: You know, we can't forget they've been through some pretty
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: extreme dry conditions so and facing some northwest winds so
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: with the weather's playing a little bit of havoc. But
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: you know, our farm is a pretty resilient bunch as well.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: What are you thinking about the China issue, the slowing
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: down and you know the thirty seven percent down in
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: July through our red meat exports, what are your thoughts
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: on that?
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean those are big headline numbers and clearly
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: the China markets sub pretty subdued, but you know, we
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: can't forget. You know, China's been a pretty outstanding story
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: for New Zealand sheep and beef farmers and more recently Venison.
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: It was only in twenty twelve we sold very little
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: into the China market and ten years later it was
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: a four point two billion dollar market for US, So
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: you know, that's a big success story. And I was
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: just looking at those stats and the last twelve months
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: that's down to a three billion dollar market, so still
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: a really important market for US as our number two,
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: you know, and twenty five percent from beef volumes are
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: still heading there because it's still the highest paying market.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: You're going to do a campaign though, aren't you. Well,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure if it's you, but the industry to
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: try and push that grass fed message because the Aussies
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: in the South Americans aren't doing it like we do it, right.
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's right. I think we've we've got a
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: country of origin brands that we're working in partnership with
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: the Meat Industry Association is working in partnership with Beef
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: and their New Zealand and that's all about, you know,
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: celebrating and educating particularly the Chinese consumers around how we
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: farm their care in New Zealand, so we can differentiate
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: ourselves from South American beef and Australian beef. You know,
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: those coordinated approaches that countries such as Australia having in
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: China make them all different. So, you know, it's really
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: pleasing that Beef and Lama I've decided to work with
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: us as the marketers to really sell that really good
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: story so we can we can differentiate our product out
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: there and listed valley for New Zealand farmers and such
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: to an important market.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, fair enough too, So we shouldn't worry too much
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: about the slowdown in China. There are other markets that
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: are packing up the slack for us in the meantime.
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you civil fold farms. We export to sixty countries
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: around the world, you know, most countries are and having
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: that diversification is really important because you know we've seen
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: it for decades. Then the markets move and change and
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: we need optionality for our farmers. I think I think
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: another key point, just on China while we're there, Ryan,
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: is you know what excites me is the growing middle
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: class here. You know, forecasting it to grow from four
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: hundred million to eight hundred million people. You know, that
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: should make us stand up and take notice. So we've
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: got a short term challenge, but those consumers are going
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: to demand exactly what we want here. You know, they
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: care about health, they care about nutrition, and they cay
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: very deeply about the environments and these are all things
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: we can win on.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Dan, Thanks very much for your update this morning. Really
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: appreciate it. Dan Bolton These Silver Firm Farms Chief Executive

• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge new for twenty twenty four on early edition
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: with Smith City New Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: News talks, it'd be just gone twenty one after five
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: news talks. It'd be Interestingly, I see the real estate
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: agents yesterday out in force. We had some sunny weather
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: here in Auckland and they it looks like I think
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: they're buying new suits and anticipation the OCR has been cut. Well,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: it's actually only been two and a half weeks since
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Adrian All started hacking and already they're getting new suits.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: So we've got some fresh data this morning for you
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: on just how that market is. Ferm will get to
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: it in just a few seconds. Twenty two minutes after
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: five Andrew Ordison's here was sport.
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: Good morning greetings. Right now, it's always good to get
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: a new suit, isn't it? Promising times with the OCA
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: the interest rates dropping so that you go get yourself
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: a bargain while pass is alone, get something bespoke.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Hey talk about tea New Zealand that how's the boat doing?
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: And when is the real should I say real racing
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: going to start?
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: Well that's next month, right, Team New Zealand have basically
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: got this rule as part of the America's Cup. You know,
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: every defender can create their own rules so they can
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: be part of the Challenger series, and they're doing well
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: as part of it, even though the boat was dropped
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: by the crane last week. So they've had another couple
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: of wins this morning. One was against a Linge which
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: was a bit of a well, you know, a hollow victor.
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: I suppose a Lingy didn't actually make the start line
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: because they had a problem with their main sale. So
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: they did, but they went on the course and just
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: had a bit of a flutter. And then new Team
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: is has beaten American Magic by twenty nine seconds a
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: bit more merit to that result, so they do have
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: the speed so far.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: All right, So it sounds like there's a few boat
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: issues going.
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: On, is there?
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Wow?
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: There always is, I mean, yeah, it's just yeah, and
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: I think that the main soil apparently there's something to
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: do with the bolt attaching it to the actual main
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: boom and mast, etc. Right, So yeah, just a glitch
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: there for them, but disappointing on the list. When you
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: think about the money that's invested, you don't want to
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: be in a situation where're not getting to the start line,
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: especially with the louver time. There's another round robin that
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: starts again tomorrow and then they'll move on to the
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: semi round robin.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: So when do I start hearing next month?
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: Ok, yeah, that's that's that's that's that's all you need
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: to know, all right, that's the best business time off
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: the of the of.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: The coast of Barcelona, Ryan the fine Italian GP.
• 13:21
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: Now there's speaking of exciting action. Charlotte Clare of Ferrari
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: at the home track and mons of there effectively or
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: the big Italian of course, fan base for Ferrari has
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: come home. I mean he won his home Grand Prix
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: at Monaco. He lives there, as Charlotte Claire has brewt
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: up there, but he's also been able to do it
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: at Monza. So a terrific result for Ferrari, but even
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: moreso for McLaren potentially with Piastre getting second and Norris third,
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: because that means that they are closing the gap again
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: in the constructor standing, so just eight points now between
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: them and for McLaren and red Ball at the top
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: of those stands, Ferrari also coming into it. So I
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: think with eight races to go, a terrific Formula one
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: end of the season, denuemont awaits us really great?
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: All right, Yeah, three medals in the new Paralympics for
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: US so far. That's good. Yep, that's great.
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: So just to add to Anna Taylor's silver, just over
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: like Daniel Hison with the turner meters in the T
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: thirty six, she's picked up the silver and the Cole
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: Murray the bronze in the cycling of the three thousand
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: meter individual pursuit the C five category. So another couple
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: of great efforts there, to Anthony Zealands tell it at
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: the Power.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Games, brilliant Andrew, thank you very much for that. We
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: haven't even talked about the All Blacks, but yeah, there
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: would be pleadable to come on that.
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: I suppose, you know, the try et cetera, non try
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: and after Cape they've traveled to Cape Town overnight, the
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: All Blacks. Nothing in Scott Robinson's in box as.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Yet on the on the try Andrew, thank you, Andrew.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Allison was sport just gone twenty five minutes after five o'clock.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: And some of these messages are quite funny from women
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: who've given birth in our hospitals. Also, why none of
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: this really matters? I know, we've been talking about the
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: toast issue and you know, penny pinching here and the
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: air when we come back, why actually it's all a
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: bit futile.

  Speaker 2: Newstalks at Me, just gone twenty seven after five. As
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: we squabble over toast for new mums in hospitals and
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: funding for street dance performers in Auckland. As we pinch
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: our pennies, pinch our pennies, as we pinch our pennies.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: We are penny pinching a lot lately, aren't we. We're
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: bickering about all sorts of things. You know, should nurses
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: be getting the free toast in the smokoe room if
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: they're doing a night shift. The insignificance of all of
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: these debates is being laid there. This morning. There's an
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: article in the Heel which is quite good. It's a
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: bit of a truth bomb from the Treasury boss. So
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: this is what she has said. She's leaving the job.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: By the way, the data is not really new, but
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: the way that she is speaking so openly and frankly
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: is quite new. Her name is Carolie McLeish. You probably
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: don't know her name. She doesn't do many interviews. She
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: doesn't want to be in the press. She's Australian, she's apolitical.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: She's five year term coming to an end. She's actually
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: going back to Australia to be the Attorney general over there.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Forgive me the order to general over there. So what
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: if she said, Well, she said, the chickens are coming
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: home to roost after COVID. We have a structural deficit
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: and it is so bad that the penny pinching or
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: the pinching pennies, whatever you want to call it, is
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: just not going to cut it. Here's a quote from her,
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: significant concerns about underlying fiscal sustainability of our operating model. Now,
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: our netcore crown debt is at forty three percent of GDP. Yes,
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: that is still within a prudent level, but it is
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: well up on this sub twenty percent of pre COVID.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: This is the problem. And so what do we need?
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: She says, capital gains tax more comprehensive than the one
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: we've got, and a change to the pension age. Boy,
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: did we screw the pooch during COVID, right, And everyone said,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: I don't worry, We're going to spend all this money
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: so we don't have a recession. But we've still had recessions,
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: so it doesn't really matter how much penny pinching though,
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: we still need the penny pincher.

• 17:43
  Speaker 2: In the grieb Marko, Welcome to your Monday twenty four
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: minutes away from six. Donald Trump is supporting the legalization
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: of cannabis in Florida. The headline slightly misleading. It makes
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: you think if Trump becomes president, we will be legal
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: every where. Not quite the case. All he's saying is
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: that in his home state of Florida, it's going to
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: be on the ballot to legalize cannabis, and he is
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: going to vote in favor, which puts them at odds,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: by the way, with a whole bunch of apartment In fact,
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: most Republicans. You have to say, he says, if it's
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: gonna happen anyway, which the Poles say it will, you
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: may as well get it right. So he's saying, as
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: an individual voter in the state of Florida on the ballot.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: He will support its interesting he's also going ahead this
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: is on the national level with making IVF treatment free
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: as well. So is this a liberal Trump we are
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: looking at as he faces Kamala Harris in the race
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: for the White House come November. Also, very quickly, I
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: promised you some numbers on housing. After two and a
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: half weeks ago, Adrian all started cutting rates. An increase
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: in the number of searchers on one roof dot CO
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: dot nzedg by inquiries jumped forty nine percent on the
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: same period last year brought up sixty four percent now
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: some thirty four percent, bay OF plenty twenty five percent,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: twenty three to six. Ryan Bridge mcgoing thro oe reporters
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: around the country, Jamie Cunningham's and Duneed and Jamie some
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: good news potentially for tourism providers there.
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: Yes, international flights could be back on the cards, the
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: odt's reporting. An announcement video appeared on the airport's official
• 19:22
  Speaker 7: YouTube channel last week but was quickly deleted. Flights between
• 19:26
  Speaker 7: Dunedin and Australia stopped in twenty twenty. Otago University Tourism
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: professor Susan Hoji McKenzie says there's a focus on flights
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: to Queensland, which could be a positive starting point. She
• 19:37
  Speaker 7: says it would allow Australians and other visitors to explore
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: Otago while also getting darned and residents over the ditch.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you get straight to the warm summary. Vibes of
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Queensland would be lovely, wouldn't it. How's speaking of how's
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: your weather today, Jamie.
• 19:52
  Speaker 7: Well, it's getting up there today with fine with high
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: cloud this afternoon, but strong norwesterlies and a high of
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: twenty one.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Excellent. Thank you have a nice day, Claire. Shewards with
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: us from christ Church. Clear christ Church mum slamming a
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: lack of enforcement over child support. Yes, good morning Ryan.
• 20:08
  Speaker 8: Figures released to news Talks he'd be under the Official
• 20:11
  Speaker 8: Information Act reveal that of the ninety one thousand New
• 20:14
  Speaker 8: Zealand is expected to pay child support, seventy two percent
• 20:18
  Speaker 8: or more than sixty six thousand, are in default now.
• 20:22
  Speaker 8: Of them, thirty six people or zero point zero five percent,
• 20:25
  Speaker 8: have been referred for court action. The IIDs confirmed they
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: don't actually have a policy for court referrals for child
• 20:31
  Speaker 8: support areas which a family lawyer has labeled as inexcusable.
• 20:35
  Speaker 8: I've spoken with a mother who herself is owed thousands
• 20:38
  Speaker 8: of dollars. She asks not to be named, but has
• 20:41
  Speaker 8: labeled those numbers shameful. She says, if some receiving parents
• 20:45
  Speaker 8: are in a position where they're forced back to unsafe
• 20:47
  Speaker 8: situations because they simply financially cannot cope, the governments they're
• 20:51
  Speaker 8: not doing anything about it. She says, that's a kin
• 20:54
  Speaker 8: to state sanctioned abuse.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Wow, I mean that's a pretty big call. But you
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: can understand with a feeling of it. Right, how's your
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: weather clear?
• 21:02
  Speaker 8: It's nice here in christ Church two fine variable high
• 21:05
  Speaker 8: cloud northerly is becoming fresh and a maximum of twenty
• 21:08
  Speaker 8: one nice one.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Max's and Wellington Homes eight bucks for a coffee?
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: Would I pay it?
• 21:14
  Speaker 9: Yes?
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Probably?
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Well you probably already have to be fair at
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: some point. But yeah, look, a lot of us, I think,
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: at some point have complained about the rising cost of
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: buying a coffee. How much you pay for your flat white.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: We and Wellington have a reputation, I suppose, of being
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: something akin to coffee snobs. The director of a flight
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: coffee in Wellington, which supplies a number of Establishments has
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: published something of an ophead a blog post arguing that
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: we should be paying more and we're actually getting quite
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: a good deal at the moment with the cost of coffee.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: He says, operational costs have risen so much we should
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: be paying about eight bucks for just a takeaway flat white,
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: particularly here in the Capitol, where venues have been weighing
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: up rising prices, cutting our even closing altogether. He says
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: the situation is somewhat reminiscence of the two thousand and
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: eight GFC, but he does can see that actually raising
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: the price to eight bucks would turn customers off even more,
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: hence the predicament.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a vicious circle. I mean, look at the
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: labor costs you increase of the minimum wage. I am
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: still dumbfounded. When you get a coffee that's, you know,
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: sort of under five dollars, How on earth do you
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: make it work. How's your weather today, Max? Yeah?
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: Mostly fine. Today's some strong northwesterlyes fifteen central.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Hew.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Do you know what happened with that plane caught on five?
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: No rationale? Yeah, So, I'm sure the investigations will be
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: taking place and we'll have the latest when we find.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Out all right, thanks? Next never read of matter is
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: an Auckland.
• 22:40
  Speaker 9: Hey, neither hello or just doing that number crunching on
• 22:43
  Speaker 9: the coffee?
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you pay? Well?
• 22:45
  Speaker 9: Well, you see the thing is, I can't drink coffee
• 22:47
  Speaker 9: after nine in the morning because you know, so I
• 22:51
  Speaker 9: will have a little weeness spree. So so I have
• 22:53
  Speaker 9: three little pods in the morning, a quarter to four
• 22:55
  Speaker 9: at home, three pods, three pods one after the other?
• 22:59
  Speaker 9: Pretty strong profs.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: Are they doubles or singles or them?
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 23:03
  Speaker 9: There will there it's a triple.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: But is that sex or is that three? Chief you're
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: thinking and you want.
• 23:11
  Speaker 9: To support, you know, the locals and the places. The
• 23:14
  Speaker 9: eight dollars though, imagine if it was eight dollars and
• 23:17
  Speaker 9: you're thinking, well, that's forty bucks a week. It's a
• 23:20
  Speaker 9: little bit, isn't it.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: It's getting up there, It certainly is. Hey, how's you there?
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Weather looking today in Auckland.
• 23:25
  Speaker 9: Never, well, there's fog this morning, so yeah, you've better

• 23:35
  Speaker 9: Isn't it getting warmer?
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: It certainly?

  Speaker 2: Certainly is very foggy out there this morning. Take care
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: on the roads too, Neva. Thank you eighteen away from Sex,

• 24:04
  Speaker 2: at the moment, as you will all know, with the
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: global economy and transition. Inflation looks to be declining in
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: most developed countries, but volatility remains. So why is it happening,
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: what can be done about it? And where are things heading.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: We'll look at the data, will work out what we

• 24:51
  Speaker 2: Fourteen to six. Now Gavin Gray's a UK and Europe correspondent, Gavin,
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: what's happening with the elections in Germany.
• 24:57
  Speaker 10: Well, it's certainly going to be pretty exciting. According to
• 25:01
  Speaker 10: projections now, it looks like the far right Alternative for
• 25:06
  Speaker 10: Deutschland is set to win nearly a third of the vote,
• 25:09
  Speaker 10: coming up to thirty one percent of the vote in
• 25:12
  Speaker 10: a projection for the Public broadcast for Ard. That is
• 25:16
  Speaker 10: six points ahead of the Conservative CDU party And if
• 25:20
  Speaker 10: you look at the three governing parties in the coalition,
• 25:23
  Speaker 10: they are well behind those two parties and if confirmed,
• 25:27
  Speaker 10: it would give the far right its first vote win
• 25:29
  Speaker 10: in a state parliament since World War II and the Nazis. However,
• 25:34
  Speaker 10: it's unlikely to be able to form a government in
• 25:36
  Speaker 10: the state of Thuringia because other parties are refusing to
• 25:40
  Speaker 10: have anything to do with the Alternative for Deutschland. Five
• 25:43
  Speaker 10: million Germans are ELIGI vote in the two state elections.
• 25:47
  Speaker 10: The Alternative for Deutschland is also close behind the Conservative
• 25:51
  Speaker 10: CDU in the election for the state parliament in Saxony.
• 25:55
  Speaker 10: There we're getting a slightly improved rating for the CDU
• 26:00
  Speaker 10: and the alternative for Deutschman again polling at thirty point
• 26:03
  Speaker 10: four percent, and the other three governing parties well down
• 26:07
  Speaker 10: on that as well. Why well, we've had the knifing
• 26:10
  Speaker 10: has reported a couple of weeks back, or a week
• 26:13
  Speaker 10: or so back now, and that was by a Syrian
• 26:16
  Speaker 10: asylum seeker. And I think basically immigration has played a
• 26:20
  Speaker 10: huge part in these two elections. And there's another election
• 26:23
  Speaker 10: coming up in a couple of weeks in the state
• 26:26
  Speaker 10: of Brandenburg.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: All Right, given the keywi skipper of the Basian, the
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: yacht that sank in near Sicily, The crew members are talking.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: What are they saying?
• 26:36
  Speaker 10: Yeah, they are They've been talking to local reporters. The
• 26:40
  Speaker 10: most recent interview has been given by Matthew Griffiths, and
• 26:44
  Speaker 10: he was a crew member of that yacht. You're a
• 26:47
  Speaker 10: member that seven people died, including sorry, seven people died,
• 26:52
  Speaker 10: including the British tech tycoon Mike Lynch, in that luxury
• 26:55
  Speaker 10: yacht sinking off the Sicilian port of Porticello back on
• 26:59
  Speaker 10: August the ninetheh Now what Matthew Griffiths, who was on
• 27:03
  Speaker 10: watch duty on the night of the disaster, says to
• 27:06
  Speaker 10: investigators is the crew members did everything they could to
• 27:09
  Speaker 10: save those on board. He said, and I quote, I
• 27:11
  Speaker 10: woke up the captain when the wind was twenty knots
• 27:13
  Speaker 10: that's roughly thirty seven kmph Ryan, and he gave the
• 27:17
  Speaker 10: orders to wake everyone else up. The ship then tilted
• 27:21
  Speaker 10: and we were thrown in the water. We managed to
• 27:23
  Speaker 10: get back up on and then tried to rescue those
• 27:26
  Speaker 10: we could. He said. We were walking on the walls
• 27:28
  Speaker 10: of the boat and basically we did try and save everyone,
• 27:31
  Speaker 10: and there were fifteen survivors. Now, the boat's captain, the Keiwe,
• 27:35
  Speaker 10: James Cupfield, and the ship engineer Tim Parker Eaton and
• 27:39
  Speaker 10: Matthew Griffiths, who's given this interview are all placed under
• 27:43
  Speaker 10: investigation by the Italian authorities for potential manslaughter and ship rate.
• 27:47
  Speaker 10: But and I must dress being investigated does not imply
• 27:51
  Speaker 10: guilt and does not meet formal charges will follow.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely given. Thank you for that. Givin Gray you
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: can you're correspondent. Just gone eleven minutes away from.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: Six o'clock, Bryan Bridge.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Doctor Caroly McLeish. She probably don't know her name, but
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: she is the Treasury boss. She's the outgoing Treasury boss
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: going back home to Australia after a five year term here,
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: and she says we have a structural deficit in New
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Zealand and things are so bad. She reckons we need
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: a capital gains tax, comprehensive capital gains tax to try
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: and fix it into the future, and we need to
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: change our pension age. Jeff nightingales with us this morning,
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: Independent tax advisor Jeff good morning.
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: Good morning Ryan.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: Does she have a point here?
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes she does. Unfortunately, it's very consistent with what
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: Treasury has been saying for Well, I bet you're part
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: of five or six years now. They publish every four
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: years a long term fiscal position and that's consistently showing
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: The last one they published was twenty twenty one, and
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: that's consistently showing that we're spending more than we're collecting
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: and that results in unsustainable levels of debt into the future.
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: So she's unfortunately, she's right.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: She's also linkedo A to COVID quite specifically as well,
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: isn't she When she talks about the structural deficits so
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: we're currently at forty three percent of GDP, well up
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: from the sub twenties before COVID.
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: That's right. So the COVID expenditure has bumped us, bumped
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: our debt levels up from sort of twenty forty to
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: sustainable dead But it's the outward looking track that be
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: worries and particular and healthcare. When we're all aging, our
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: population is aging, more of us will draw down on
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: national super it's a universal benefit, and the aging population
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: is going to need more healthcare. So the projections on
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: those two crown expenditures are pretty frightening over the next
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: sort of thirty years.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: Is this not somebody's text and why can't we just
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: keep cutting? Is this not something we can just cut
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: our way out of.
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: Well, we could.
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: Look, when you're dealing with public finances, there's only three believers.
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: There's more tax there's cutting expenditure, or this debt. The
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: debt leave is pretty unsustainable. We've been drawing on that.
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: This current government's doing a little bit of expenditure cutting,
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: but it's not really addressing that structural deficit. So that
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: really leaves us in the position of more taxes and
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: none of us like that.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Certainly not. Jeff, thank you for that. Independent tax advisor.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: Jeff Nightingale nine minutes away from six Rich, good morning.
• 30:26
