Speaker 1: Dogs'd be.
0:16
Speaker 2: Good morning at a six after five. Welcome to your
0:18
Speaker 2: Wednesday morning. I'll lead interview this morning before six how
0:21
Speaker 2: much the abuse compo package could cost the taxpayer. Also
0:25
Speaker 2: this morning we're looking at should political parties get taxpayer
0:28
Speaker 2: cash for TV ads at election time? Guess who says
0:32
Speaker 2: yes and guess who says no. We're also looking at
0:36
Speaker 2: a Germany they're finally getting an election date. It looks
0:39
Speaker 2: like also house price profits, who's making them and how much.
0:46
Speaker 1: The agenda.
0:47
Speaker 2: It is Wednesday, the thirteenth of November. Thirty five people
0:50
Speaker 2: have died in China. Forty three have been injured. A
0:53
Speaker 2: guy was upset about his divorce settlement drove his car
0:56
Speaker 2: into a crowd at a sports center. Now senses are
1:01
Speaker 2: busy sweeping this from the internet, and this BBC reporter
1:05
Speaker 2: copped it at the scene.
1:06
Speaker 3: It has happened, unfortunately in China.
1:08
Speaker 1: Before there are these copycat mass attack and then we
1:12
Speaker 1: have this type of thing of the government trying to
1:15
Speaker 1: stop it from happening.
1:18
Speaker 4: Woman.
1:19
Speaker 2: It's on woman, and that was the end of his
1:26
Speaker 2: live cross speaking of coppying it cop this. The president
1:29
Speaker 2: of Azerbaijan, which is hosting the climate change conference we
1:32
Speaker 2: spoke about yesterday, raked everyone up by defending the oil
1:36
Speaker 2: and gas industry in front of all the environmentalists and
1:39
Speaker 2: the world leaders listening.
1:40
Speaker 3: Fake news media of the country which is number one
1:45
Speaker 3: oil and gas producer in the world and produces thirty
1:51
Speaker 3: times more Oiljan call us.
1:54
Speaker 2: That's with Steep. He said, it's God's gift to them.
1:57
Speaker 2: Why shouldn't they get it out of the ground there
1:59
Speaker 2: the twenty four biggest oil producer in the world. He's
2:01
Speaker 2: got a point, doesn't he. Why should the Aussies get
2:04
Speaker 2: to extract iron ore the Nordic States their minerals, and
2:08
Speaker 2: not Azerbaijan and the oil and gas if there's demand,
2:11
Speaker 2: Prepare for major congestion across our biggest city this morning.
2:19
Speaker 2: Two lanes of the Harbor Bridge will close. Public transport
2:23
Speaker 2: will be affected, a warning to delay travel. It's especially
2:26
Speaker 2: worrying for those who've got NCA exams. I'll tell you
2:29
Speaker 2: exactly what I think about this. Just before the news
2:31
Speaker 2: at five point thirty this morning. The race for the
2:34
Speaker 2: US House of Reps is still ongoing. It's still looking
2:37
Speaker 2: likely Republicans will take control. They've got two hundred and
2:40
Speaker 2: fourteen if the two hundred and eighteen majority needed, with
2:42
Speaker 2: Democrats slightly behind on two hundred and five seats. More
2:45
Speaker 2: than a dozen races still to be called, but the
2:49
Speaker 2: majority will be slim here and it could cause problems
2:53
Speaker 2: for Trump. More on that shortly.
2:56
Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day in
2:58
Speaker 1: early edition with Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's furniture
3:02
Speaker 1: beds and a playing store New Dog Zivvy.
3:06
Speaker 2: Core Logic's Pain and Gain report out this morning. Vendor
3:09
Speaker 2: is not exactly creaming. It not like the good old
3:11
Speaker 2: days during COVID when everyone was just making noodles of money.
3:15
Speaker 2: So this is the numbers comparing quarter three to quarter
3:17
Speaker 2: two on paper profit. Quarter three you had ninety point
3:22
Speaker 2: two percent of properties being sold for more than their
3:26
Speaker 2: original purchase price on on paper profit ninety point two percent.
3:30
Speaker 2: Quarter two it was ninety one point eight percent. So
3:33
Speaker 2: slightly fewer properties are making it on paper profit, and
3:37
Speaker 2: that means that actually most are making a profit, although
3:42
Speaker 2: it's at it's lowest percentage since twenty fifteen. And you
3:45
Speaker 2: must remember that though the prices have dropped in the
3:49
Speaker 2: past couple of years, as that we've come off the
3:51
Speaker 2: highs of post COVID. Most people own a home for
3:54
Speaker 2: eight to nine years and that means that they bought
3:57
Speaker 2: it pre COVID, which means the prices were lower then,
4:01
Speaker 2: which means the prices are still higher now. That's why
4:04
Speaker 2: such a large proportion is still making a profit. What
4:08
Speaker 2: you wouldn't want to have done is border house obviously
4:11
Speaker 2: at the peak of the market during COVID and then
4:13
Speaker 2: having to sell it now, although normally people are buying
4:15
Speaker 2: and selling into the same market anyway. So there you go.
4:18
Speaker 2: Those are the new numbers out this morning. Also this
4:20
Speaker 2: morning Wellington Airport Wellington Council faulty towers. What on Earth?
4:27
Speaker 2: I saw this headline and I thought they can't be
4:30
Speaker 2: for real, They can't be serious. Wellington Airport sale still possible,
4:34
Speaker 2: according according to the council's chest financial officer, Wellington City
4:39
Speaker 2: Council's Chief Financial Officer Andrea Reeves. This is from Aharon
4:42
Speaker 2: Zed says it's important to note that both the sale
4:45
Speaker 2: and partial sale of Wellington Airport are still on the table.
4:51
Speaker 2: Council's new Crown Observer, Lindsay McKenzie, starts work on Wednesday. God,
4:55
Speaker 2: he's got his work cut out from isn't there eleven
4:56
Speaker 2: after five Brian brid I don't know. Good luck Wellington. Hey,
5:04
Speaker 2: we'll talk about the traffic in Auckland a little later on.
5:07
Speaker 2: That's just before the news at five point thirty. Also Germany,
5:10
Speaker 2: we've been following this in the last couple of days.
5:12
Speaker 2: We finally have a date for their snap election. Do
5:15
Speaker 2: you call it a snap election if it's in late February?
5:19
Speaker 2: Doesn't sound that snappy, does it. It's only November anyway.
5:23
Speaker 2: This is because ol F Schultz fired as minister. He
5:25
Speaker 2: was in a three way coalition. That meant the coalition
5:28
Speaker 2: collapsed because that minister was from another party. He's basically
5:32
Speaker 2: it was over a big budget hole. So he's basically
5:35
Speaker 2: in the Schiser because his poll numbers aren't that great.
5:39
Speaker 2: But he wants to run again and his party supports
5:41
Speaker 2: him to run again, so that'll be happening, they say.
5:44
Speaker 2: In February twelve minutes after five, we debate the taxpayer
5:49
Speaker 2: funding of election ads.
5:50
Speaker 1: Next on your radio, and online on iHeartRadio earlier it
5:59
Speaker 1: Isahay with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's furniture
6:03
Speaker 1: beds and a playing store news talks.
6:05
Speaker 2: That'd be fourteen after five. So Justin Welby, who's the
6:08
Speaker 2: Archbishop of Canterbury, has resigned overnight. If you're just joining
6:12
Speaker 2: us this morning, Justin Welby's resigned, you would have heard
6:14
Speaker 2: this in the news. The last couple of days has
6:16
Speaker 2: been pressure mounting. There was a Christian summer camp decades ago.
6:19
Speaker 2: There was a volunteer that abused some young people and
6:23
Speaker 2: Justin Welby as head. Basically the Church of England failed
6:28
Speaker 2: to properly investigate it, and as did his predecessors. The
6:32
Speaker 2: bigger problem for the church now is actually their attendance.
6:35
Speaker 2: Attendance at the Church of England that the Anglicans is
6:38
Speaker 2: down a fifth in Britain alone since twenty nineteen. Their
6:43
Speaker 2: followers in America and Africa have been upset because there's
6:45
Speaker 2: a round between the progressive side of the church and
6:48
Speaker 2: the more conservative side. You know, do you allow women clerics?
6:51
Speaker 2: That kind of thing? Hard to run a conservative church
6:54
Speaker 2: in the modern age. I would have thought anyway that
6:56
Speaker 2: you go the Archbishop of Canterbury has resigned overnight. It's
6:59
Speaker 2: called a past five spray and bridge. The row brewing
7:05
Speaker 2: this morning over taxpayer funding for political party campaign ads
7:09
Speaker 2: like this gem from twenty seventeen. We can do.
7:12
Speaker 5: Better, better healthcare, better schools, better.
7:17
Speaker 2: Transport, cleaner rivers and homes for all. I am ready,
7:23
Speaker 2: We're all ready. Let's do this. The ACT Party is
7:27
Speaker 2: calling for an end to the broadcast allocation for election campaigns.
7:31
Speaker 2: Acting P Todd Stevenson suggested to the Justice Select Committee
7:36
Speaker 2: that this be scrapped. Labor and the Greens oppose it.
7:40
Speaker 2: Todd is with us this morning.
7:41
Speaker 4: Good morning, good morning, fine, thanks for having me on.
7:44
Speaker 2: No worries. So this is what four million dollars every
7:46
Speaker 2: three years? Is it a waste of money?
7:49
Speaker 4: Absolutely right, Look it's a total rought. I mean, the
7:52
Speaker 4: taxpayer does not need to be forking out, you know,
7:55
Speaker 4: just over four million dollars every year for political parties
7:57
Speaker 4: to pay for their TV and radio ads.
8:00
Speaker 2: So is it a principal thing for you? You don't
8:02
Speaker 2: think that this is the type of thing we should
8:05
Speaker 2: be forking out for as taxpayers.
8:07
Speaker 6: Yeah?
8:08
Speaker 4: Absolutely, Well it's two things. Ryan. It's definitely a principal thing,
8:11
Speaker 4: it should never have been put in place. It was
8:13
Speaker 4: put in place for the first MMP election. But the
8:16
Speaker 4: other thing is technology has moved on, and so political
8:19
Speaker 4: parties are able to spend as much money as they
8:21
Speaker 4: want on say digital advertising, so the Internet actually are
8:25
Speaker 4: streaming services, et cetera. But you're only allowed to pay
8:29
Speaker 4: the money that the taxpayer gives you on TV and
8:33
Speaker 4: radio broadcasts. And so it's really too it's principled, we
8:36
Speaker 4: just shouldn't be doing it. But secondly it's also just
8:39
Speaker 4: hasn't moved with the times.
8:40
Speaker 2: How much of the taxpayer funding did that use last election?
8:44
Speaker 4: Yep, we got just over three hundred and fifty thousand
8:47
Speaker 4: dollars Ryan, And again we took that because it's only
8:53
Speaker 4: on TV and radio.
8:54
Speaker 2: But you said it was a principal thing.
8:58
Speaker 4: Yes, but again we would be restricted, so we can't
9:01
Speaker 4: spend their own money, which ACTS always wanted to do, Ryan,
9:04
Speaker 4: So before it was actually introduced before the first MMP
9:06
Speaker 4: election to stop ACT spending its own money on TV
9:09
Speaker 4: and radio. And so if we didn't use our allocation,
9:13
Speaker 4: there's no way we could be on Yeah, but the
9:15
Speaker 4: running ads or TV TV stations.
9:18
Speaker 2: But surely for a party about smaller government, lower taxes,
9:21
Speaker 2: cutting wasteful spending, you'd take the hit for what you
9:24
Speaker 2: call your principles.
9:26
Speaker 4: Well, we don't think that would be fair because if
9:29
Speaker 4: we couldn't actually get over any right, Well.
9:30
Speaker 7: Let's talk about fairness then, is it is it fear
9:34
Speaker 7: that a party like the Labor Party who doesn't get
9:36
Speaker 7: as much in fact, only got as much as many
9:38
Speaker 7: donations in terms of valuers act? Is it fear that
9:41
Speaker 7: a party like that wouldn't have the same opportunities you
9:45
Speaker 7: guys would to to you know, buy broadcast allocations because
9:50
Speaker 7: they don't get as much donations.
9:52
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, that would be fair. I mean that's the
9:54
Speaker 4: whole point of a political party. You put out a
9:57
Speaker 4: set of policies, a set of ideas, and you ask
9:59
Speaker 4: people to support them in One of the ways they
10:01
Speaker 4: do that is make donations. It's entirely, it's entirely the
10:04
Speaker 4: way the political process goes in as parton yet.
10:07
Speaker 2: I know it is, But is it fair? Is it
10:09
Speaker 2: fair if you have a small number of wealthy donors
10:12
Speaker 2: to one particular party versus a large number of perhaps
10:16
Speaker 2: lower income donors to another. I mean it's it's David
10:19
Speaker 2: and Goliath, isn't it.
10:20
Speaker 4: Well, I think that's different parties will have different types
10:23
Speaker 4: of supporters. I mean, I know for a fact, ACT
10:26
Speaker 4: got lots of small donations from lots of people.
10:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you've also got a million dollars. You also
10:31
Speaker 2: got a million dollars in one day and fifty and
10:34
Speaker 2: one hundred thousand dollars allocations from billionaires and stuff.
10:38
Speaker 1: Well.
10:39
Speaker 4: Absolutely, but that's all all disclosed, is all properly done,
10:42
Speaker 4: And I think that shows the level of support some
10:44
Speaker 4: of the policies that that's cooked up. I mean that's
10:46
Speaker 4: I think that's entirely the point. Right parties have to
10:49
Speaker 4: go out and they have to get supporters who support
10:51
Speaker 4: their visions for New Zealand parties. I agree with you that
10:54
Speaker 4: they want to put place.
10:55
Speaker 2: I agree with that, but surely you want to fear fight.
10:58
Speaker 4: Well, this is actually making sure it is a sea fight.
11:00
Speaker 4: I mean last election, Labour got one point two million
11:04
Speaker 4: dollars to spend on TV and radio. So we want
11:08
Speaker 4: to we want to level the playing field in this area.
11:10
Speaker 4: And so well, lot parties raise money, they can spend
11:12
Speaker 4: it on what they what they want, including TV and radio.
11:15
Speaker 2: If they choose to. All Right, Todd, look forward to
11:17
Speaker 2: having this debate with Labor and the Greens if they'll
11:20
Speaker 2: come on with me. Thanks so much for your time.
11:21
Speaker 2: I appreciate it. Todd Stevenson, the Act Party MP says,
11:24
Speaker 2: let's get rid of the taxpayer funded wrought. That is
11:28
Speaker 2: the broadcast allocation. What do you reckon? Nine two? Nine
11:31
Speaker 2: two is the number to text?
11:33
Speaker 1: News and views you trust to start your day is
11:36
Speaker 1: Early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's
11:39
Speaker 1: furniture beds and a playing store.
11:41
Speaker 2: News talks, Hi'd be twenty two after five year on
11:44
Speaker 2: news talks, heai'd be Lots happening around the world overnight.
11:47
Speaker 2: Environmentalists are sad and upsets. This has nothing to do
11:50
Speaker 2: with cop by the Way, which is happening in Azerbaijan.
11:52
Speaker 2: This is in Holland. So tears outside of Dutch court.
11:56
Speaker 2: Why Well, the court had ruled in favor of environmentalists
12:00
Speaker 2: who were trying to get Shell to cut its carbon
12:04
Speaker 2: emissions by forty five percent. And can imagine for a
12:07
Speaker 2: company like Shell that's not exactly great for the bottom line?
12:09
Speaker 2: Is that? So anyway, they appealed. So the court has
12:12
Speaker 2: now ordered reversed its decision and said no, actually you
12:17
Speaker 2: don't have to cut your emissions by forty five percent,
12:19
Speaker 2: So they've overturned the original landmark case. So that's why
12:24
Speaker 2: the environmentalists are crying outside court because they wanted Shell
12:27
Speaker 2: to be able to And the problem here really is
12:31
Speaker 2: how can you single out one particular company for a
12:35
Speaker 2: global issue. And this was the point that Shell made
12:37
Speaker 2: in court, which the judge clearly agreed with. How can
12:40
Speaker 2: you say climate change and just you Fonterra in New
12:45
Speaker 2: Zealand must have your profits and just you Shell in
12:49
Speaker 2: Holland must have your profits. It doesn't It's not fair,
12:53
Speaker 2: is that you can't do it like that? Nineteen ninety
12:56
Speaker 2: two is the number to text. Lots of your feedback
12:58
Speaker 2: coming in On the issue of campaign donations, Sorry I
13:02
Speaker 2: should say broadcast allocation for political parties during the campaign.
13:06
Speaker 2: We'll get to that in a second. But have you
13:07
Speaker 2: listened to this Trump voter previously a voter for the Democrats,
13:11
Speaker 2: lifelong voter for the Democrats. Mother voted for the Dems,
13:15
Speaker 2: and now she's gone Trump. She owns a small business.
13:18
Speaker 2: Have a listen.
13:19
Speaker 8: Inflation is down by more than half, interest rates are falling,
13:23
Speaker 8: Mortgage rates are falling, wages are going up.
13:26
Speaker 2: Are you not feeling that?
13:28
Speaker 8: I don't feel it. No, I don't feel it. I
13:31
Speaker 8: don't feel it at all. Everybody I talked to it
13:34
Speaker 8: and nobody's wages went up. But we had four years
13:37
Speaker 8: of this, I mean four years gas was super high. Yes,
13:41
Speaker 8: it just went down now, but what the past four
13:43
Speaker 8: three and a half years it was up.
13:44
Speaker 2: It's interesting, isn't it, because the media has looked at
13:47
Speaker 2: the numbers and gone, well, you know, you look at
13:49
Speaker 2: that and you say things are improving. Then the headline
13:53
Speaker 2: numbers are coming down, but on the ground there's a
13:55
Speaker 2: leg people don't feel it. And I think the same
13:59
Speaker 2: thing is true in New right now. You know our
14:01
Speaker 2: numbers back in band we're told in terms of inflation,
14:04
Speaker 2: all those sorts of things. Are people feeling better off, wealthier?
14:08
Speaker 2: Are they running out and the spending? No, not really,
14:11
Speaker 2: although we did have a slight uptick in retail spending
14:14
Speaker 2: for October. Those numbers out this morning, up thirty nine
14:17
Speaker 2: million dollars. That's points six percent, largely driven by hospitality,
14:21
Speaker 2: which was up two percent, or twenty four million dollars.
14:24
Speaker 2: It is twenty four after five. You're on news Talks
14:26
Speaker 2: EB the early.
14:27
Speaker 1: Edition full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by NEWSTALKSB.
14:32
Speaker 2: You're on News Talks HEB. It is twenty six minutes
14:35
Speaker 2: after five. Commuter chaos. It's one of the prices we
14:39
Speaker 2: must pay for living in a democracy. I know this
14:42
Speaker 2: won't be popular with Aucklanders this morning, or others around
14:44
Speaker 2: the country where this hikoy is heading, but it's a
14:47
Speaker 2: cost we must be here. They're closing two lanes of
14:50
Speaker 2: the Harbor Bridge this morning, and if you've got kids
14:53
Speaker 2: getting to an NCA exam, then you will be fuming
14:57
Speaker 2: about this. But let's remember this is a one off protest.
15:01
Speaker 2: It's not like those dickheads from the Public Rail or
15:04
Speaker 2: whatever they were in Wellington, remember them. They repeatedly shut
15:07
Speaker 2: down the motorways. They did it time and time again.
15:10
Speaker 2: They repeatedly stopped the ambulances from getting to call out,
15:13
Speaker 2: the kidney patients from getting to dialysis. They deserved to
15:17
Speaker 2: be swept to the curb, and it seems like for
15:19
Speaker 2: the most part they have been, which is a good thing.
15:21
Speaker 2: This is a one off from a group of people
15:24
Speaker 2: who feel rightly or wrongly, that they're getting a hard
15:27
Speaker 2: time from this government. They feel they're not being heard
15:31
Speaker 2: in our democracy, and whether you agree with that or
15:33
Speaker 2: not is besides the point. The point is we live
15:36
Speaker 2: in a democracy and the right to protest is well.
15:40
Speaker 2: Are aright. It can be an annoying one, but the
15:43
Speaker 2: minute you say you can't do it, we all lose.
15:46
Speaker 2: If we learn anything through COVID, it's that this whole
15:49
Speaker 2: system is rather fragile. When people feel ostracized or maligned,
15:54
Speaker 2: we do better to listen rather than suppress and silence
16:00
Speaker 2: and dissent. Ran Bridge twenty eight after five year on
16:04
Speaker 2: news Talk said, b just for some specific information for you,
16:08
Speaker 2: the two lanes northbound lanes will be closed. We're not
16:11
Speaker 2: sure exactly what time that is happening this morning. The
16:14
Speaker 2: protesters will split into two groups once they cross the
16:17
Speaker 2: Harbor Bridge. One will go to Himato near Auckland Airport.
16:22
Speaker 2: The other will go to Bastian Points. So you can
16:24
Speaker 2: expect delays probably across the whole network. As I say,
16:28
Speaker 2: the exact time of this, we are unsure at this point.
16:33
Speaker 2: Lots of feedback from you on the Allo cation broadcast
16:36
Speaker 2: allocation of political parties. The ACT Party wants to scrap it,
16:41
Speaker 2: we had them on earlier. Ryan, this is interesting one, right,
16:45
Speaker 2: it's amazing listening to that twenty seventeen Labor Party ad
16:48
Speaker 2: from de Sinda Adern. She should be convicted for false advertising.
16:52
Speaker 2: Hard to argue with that, Ryan, I am an act guy.
16:57
Speaker 2: How many of us get tax payer funding to help
17:00
Speaker 2: us get a job? That's true. An other here says, though,
17:05
Speaker 2: it's not fair if you're a party that has rich
17:08
Speaker 2: people backing you that you would have such a huge
17:11
Speaker 2: advantage if it was all done on donations. So there
17:13
Speaker 2: are a couple of different descenting views on this one.
17:17
Speaker 2: It is twenty nine after five News Talk ZIBB.
17:36
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge new for twenty twenty four on early edition
17:40
Speaker 1: with Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Bits and a playing
17:43
Speaker 1: Store News TALKSIBB.
17:52
Speaker 2: Good Morning New Zealand. It is twenty three minutes away
17:54
Speaker 2: from six year on News Talk sib Major disruption expected
17:58
Speaker 2: across Auckland City this morning. More on that in just
18:00
Speaker 2: a second. Gavin Gray out of the UK. The Archbishop
18:03
Speaker 2: of Canterbury has quit. Also, Sue Gray meant, you know
18:07
Speaker 2: the one who did that reporting to Boris Johnson and
18:09
Speaker 2: his partying she was given this I wouldn't say plumb job,
18:13
Speaker 2: but she was given a booby prize job after being
18:15
Speaker 2: sacked by Starma. And now that's not going ahead. He'll
18:18
Speaker 2: tell us why. Also, we'll look at that abuse in
18:22
Speaker 2: state care, apology and potential compensation. How much might it
18:25
Speaker 2: cost us? Back to the Hikoy for a second. I
18:28
Speaker 2: just made the point earlier that sorry, we're living in
18:31
Speaker 2: democracy and the price you pay for living in a
18:33
Speaker 2: democracy is disruption and protest. It's just parf of the course.
18:38
Speaker 2: And a number of you have emailed in Ryan if
18:40
Speaker 2: these Heikoy idiots, this is from lindsay, if these Heikoy
18:43
Speaker 2: idiots have their way, we won't live in a democracy.
18:45
Speaker 2: And that is a fair point because some of them
18:48
Speaker 2: are calling for, you know, a separate parliament, calling for
18:51
Speaker 2: a separate justice system, that kind of thing, and I
18:54
Speaker 2: think that would be a terrible idea. I don't think
18:56
Speaker 2: that works. I think, you know, I agree, one person,
18:59
Speaker 2: one vote is the best and fear as system. But
19:01
Speaker 2: it doesn't mean that you should ignore a minority group's cause,
19:07
Speaker 2: because what happens when you do that is you just
19:10
Speaker 2: tend to make them more radical, even more radical than
19:12
Speaker 2: they already are, So I think there is a case
19:15
Speaker 2: for listening in a situation like this. Twenty three to.
19:17
Speaker 1: Six, Bryan Bridge, We're.
19:21
Speaker 2: Going to our reporters around the country and we're starting
19:23
Speaker 2: in Need this morning with Calum Calum, a virtual reality
19:27
Speaker 2: solution for anxiety disorder. What's this about.
19:32
Speaker 5: Well, this is a solution which has proven itself to
19:35
Speaker 5: be a viable option for those battling social anxiety disorder
19:39
Speaker 5: and it's a new Zealand solution as well. Out of
19:41
Speaker 5: Otaga University. This clinical trial has found that the app
19:45
Speaker 5: Overcome significantly reduces SAD symptoms via its ability to create
19:51
Speaker 5: real world social situations alongside teams from Cannaba University. The
19:56
Speaker 5: results showed symptoms were reduced by an average of thirty
19:58
Speaker 5: five point three percent by fifty percent by week eighteen.
20:02
Speaker 5: The founders say it brings accessible and effective treatment to
20:06
Speaker 5: smartphone users.
20:07
Speaker 2: All Right, how's your weather, Collum.
20:09
Speaker 5: Another fine day, nor Eastly is developing and eighteen the
20:12
Speaker 5: high thank.
20:13
Speaker 2: You Clears and christ Church Clear a bit of hope
20:15
Speaker 2: for christ Church's stretch stretched GPS.
20:20
Speaker 9: Well, that's right, Ryan, this is a new initiative that's
20:23
Speaker 9: been trialed down here. It's led by the Primary Care
20:26
Speaker 9: Task for Swaikaha Canterbury and what they've done is they've
20:30
Speaker 9: tried to bring in medical students where they have brought
20:32
Speaker 9: in medical students into part time roles in order to
20:34
Speaker 9: reduce the administrative workload on six different general practices around
20:39
Speaker 9: the region. Now they've looked over the results and the
20:42
Speaker 9: chair Kim Burgess, says, look, it's been a win win
20:45
Speaker 9: for both parties. It's given some students and paid experience,
20:48
Speaker 9: while gps end up having more time to themselves and
20:51
Speaker 9: to see more patients. She says, Look, this is not
20:53
Speaker 9: the magic bullet, but it is a drop in the ocean,
20:55
Speaker 9: and little drops all add up and help. She does
20:58
Speaker 9: say that they're going to make it bit more sustainable
21:01
Speaker 9: than hope to expand this initiative next year.
21:03
Speaker 2: All right, and the weather today.
21:06
Speaker 9: Low cloud and a bit of drizzle possible today, then
21:09
Speaker 9: find some cloud returns by evening northeasterlies and the high
21:12
Speaker 9: here is eighteen as well.
21:13
Speaker 2: Will you amongst those off you know, wasted and vomiting
21:17
Speaker 2: in the gutter.
21:18
Speaker 9: After the country, find any evidence of me wasted or
21:21
Speaker 9: vomiting after cut day?
21:22
Speaker 2: Ryan, Thank you, Wow, how far back do we have
21:25
Speaker 2: to go? That's the question Max's and Wellington, Hey, Max,
21:29
Speaker 2: good morning? Is the airport for sale? Not for sale?
21:32
Speaker 2: What's the go here? Oh?
21:34
Speaker 10: Well at Wellington's Crown Observer arrives at the City Council
21:38
Speaker 10: today and with Lindsay McKenzie comes quite a steep bill
21:43
Speaker 10: one thousand bucks a day to cover his paycheck. Interesting
21:46
Speaker 10: interview in this very newsroom yesterday with Tory Fano, the mayor.
21:50
Speaker 10: Her position is, she says it felt like government intervention
21:54
Speaker 10: in her council always seemed inevitable. She wouldn't have done
21:57
Speaker 10: anything different to avoid this outcome, and she believes she
22:01
Speaker 10: does still have control of her counsel and it can
22:03
Speaker 10: work effectively together. The threshold for a Crown Observer, she believes,
22:07
Speaker 10: was never met. But clearly something is wrong. Lindsay McKenzie's
22:11
Speaker 10: first day is today. He'll be monitoring progress, redesigning that
22:14
Speaker 10: long term plan and with it decisions about the city's future.
22:17
Speaker 10: And it's a budget essentially, and those decisions will be
22:21
Speaker 10: accelerated now with a fresh pair of eyes looking over
22:24
Speaker 10: the shoulders of counselors.
22:25
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, and I see the sea fire, the Council
22:28
Speaker 2: has said that, you know, it's not off the table
22:30
Speaker 2: that the airport chears might actually be sold in the future.
22:33
Speaker 2: So there's a lot of water around the bridge. How's
22:36
Speaker 2: your weather at mex and the Kettle.
22:38
Speaker 10: Yeah, it should be fine today with light winds. You
22:41
Speaker 10: can hear how I feel about that. The high twenty one.
22:44
Speaker 2: Brilliant, Thank you, and you just need It's like you
22:47
Speaker 2: have a real estate agent and they put the full
22:48
Speaker 2: celle sign up and then they have to take it down,
22:50
Speaker 2: and then they have put it up again, and then
22:51
Speaker 2: they take it down again. Let's go to Neva and Auckland. Actually, Neva,
22:55
Speaker 2: we don't need you.
22:56
Speaker 11: You have to be talking about why why.
22:58
Speaker 2: Because we've got Grahame. Grahame has toicked morning Rain just
23:01
Speaker 2: a heads up for your listeners heading in now from
23:03
Speaker 2: Audioway and the motorway is already backing up in advance
23:06
Speaker 2: of this morning. Oh wow, you've got an update for
23:10
Speaker 2: us too.
23:10
Speaker 11: Well, Graham probably knows more than me, as you say,
23:13
Speaker 11: what what am I doing here? What's my function? But
23:16
Speaker 11: we do know and obviously for our listeners that it's
23:20
Speaker 11: they're starting or they're gathering now. As you say, at
23:23
Speaker 11: the media. This is at the Kamaka Mediah Northcote. They're
23:26
Speaker 11: leaving there around about seven. They're going to be crossing
23:29
Speaker 11: that bridge in multiple lots because obviously on that Auckland
23:33
Speaker 11: Harbor Bridge you can only have two hundred and fifty
23:35
Speaker 11: so that's why per per wave, so they're coming over
23:38
Speaker 11: on multiple waves. Now that's happening at about nine to
23:42
Speaker 11: thirty this morning. They've got the two northbound lanes of
23:45
Speaker 11: the bridge will be closed. The Stafford Road off ramp,
23:48
Speaker 11: Currant Street on ramp, Shelley Beach Road southbound north ramp.
23:52
Speaker 11: That's all going to be shut. And as you say,
23:54
Speaker 11: you know, then they're going to break off once they
23:56
Speaker 11: come across that bridge. Then they're going to be in
23:58
Speaker 11: the buses. I think one lot will be and then
24:03
Speaker 11: there'll be Ihumato and also best point right, that's yes, but.
24:07
Speaker 2: So and I guess people are getting in early now,
24:09
Speaker 2: aren't they trying to get a cart before it all?
24:11
Speaker 11: And even as I was coming in this morning at four,
24:13
Speaker 11: I noticed the traffic was pretty busy and they had
24:15
Speaker 11: all the eight trucks in anticipation for what's going to happen. Yeah,
24:20
Speaker 11: and back to me, now, I was just thinking, because
24:23
Speaker 11: I've got two furniture deliveries arriving at my place.
24:26
Speaker 2: You've got your sofa.
24:27
Speaker 11: My sofa's coming.
24:28
Speaker 2: Oh no, I.
24:28
Speaker 11: Don't know what time it's going to arrive.
24:30
Speaker 2: Though it probably won't.
24:33
Speaker 11: Won't You'll hear me screaming. You'll hear me screaming if
24:36
Speaker 11: it doesn't. Because also, and I'll just say this quickly,
24:38
Speaker 11: we've got cold play tonight. That sofa's going to be
24:41
Speaker 11: traffic this afternoon, and round that Mount Eaton area is
24:44
Speaker 11: going to be so today. What do you say? Should
24:47
Speaker 11: you just stay home?
24:48
Speaker 2: You need to play that song? Clicks to you singing it.
24:52
Speaker 2: How's the weather cloudy?
24:53
Speaker 11: Few showers? Hi, twenty two?
24:55
Speaker 2: All right, neither, thank you? Good luck with your sofa.
24:58
Speaker 2: It is seventeen away from six News Talks b All right,
25:02

Speaker 2: to upgrade the couch or get those appliances sorted. While
25:13
Speaker 2: Smith's City has you covered. They've been nailing it for
25:16

26:03
Speaker 2: So I think the sex Gavin Grays at UK Europe Correspondent,
26:06
Speaker 2: The Archbishop of Canterbury has fallen on his sword, Gevin.
26:11
Speaker 6: As after well a lot of criticism and also frankly
26:15
Speaker 6: some dwindling sport over the last twenty four forty eight hours.
26:19
Speaker 6: Justin Welby, had really faced huge pressure resign because it
26:22
Speaker 6: emerged last week following a very lengthy report that he
26:25
Speaker 6: didn't follow up really rigorously enough on reports that somebody
26:29
Speaker 6: who was quite senior within the Church of England or
26:33
Speaker 6: associated with it was a child abuser and had committed
26:37
Speaker 6: quote abhorrent abuse of more than one hundred boys and
26:40
Speaker 6: young men. John Smith was his name. It was a
26:42
Speaker 6: British barrister. He was abusing boys that he met at
26:45
Speaker 6: Christian summer camps in the nineteen seventies and nineteen eighties. Indeed,
26:50
Speaker 6: he is round believed to be the most prolific serial
26:53
Speaker 6: abuser associated with the Church of England. And basically there
26:57
Speaker 6: was a report out and it quite clearly showed that
27:00
Speaker 6: although Justin Welby had looked at that, he had assumed
27:04
Speaker 6: that when it was sent to the police for investigation
27:06
Speaker 6: that was kind of the end of the matter and
27:08
Speaker 6: the end of his responsibility. It wasn't. And now many
27:12
Speaker 6: people say he quite simply did nothing really about it,
27:16
Speaker 6: and lots of people believe he should have followed up
27:19
Speaker 6: that report with much much greater action, much more decisiveness,
27:23
Speaker 6: And today, as you say, he's fallen on its sword.
27:26
Speaker 2: Sue Gray, who did that report into Boris Johnson and
27:28
Speaker 2: his partying during COVID, then gets chief staff for Starma,
27:32
Speaker 2: then gets basically the boots and given this booby prize
27:36
Speaker 2: job of special invoid to nations and regions. We've got
27:39
Speaker 2: an update on her this morning.
27:42
Speaker 6: Yes, which lots of people I sense her enemies will enjoy,
27:46
Speaker 6: and the news is that she won't actually be taking
27:49
Speaker 6: up that new appointment. As you say, Sue Gray became
27:52
Speaker 6: a household name. She led the government's internal inquiry into
27:56
Speaker 6: the party Gate scandal that was, of course, Boris Jrenson
28:00
Speaker 6: and associates within the civil service enjoying drinks and parties
28:04
Speaker 6: when the rest of us were told that we should
28:06
Speaker 6: not be socializing anyway. Her inquiry pretty much put paid
28:10
Speaker 6: to his premiership and she left the senior civil service.
28:14
Speaker 6: It then became clear to become a senior advisor to
28:17
Speaker 6: the leader of the then opposition party that is now
28:20
Speaker 6: the party of government. She was initially appointed to the
28:23
Speaker 6: newly created role after departing Sekre Starmer's chiefs of staff
28:28
Speaker 6: last month. That was her original appointment chief of staff. Apparently,
28:31
Speaker 6: lots of headlines said that she was getting more money
28:34
Speaker 6: than lots of people, including the Prime Minister. She resigned
28:37
Speaker 6: from that saying she risked becoming a distraction. She was
28:40
Speaker 6: then given another job, which was effectively to look at
28:44
Speaker 6: the role of the regions and nations. She didn't attend
28:48
Speaker 6: the first meeting. We were told she was taking a break,
28:51
Speaker 6: and now we're being told she's not taking the job
28:53
Speaker 6: at all. As I said, run there will be lots
28:56
Speaker 6: of people with a big smile on their face tonight
28:58
Speaker 6: who think that she rather irresponsible for anyway brought down
29:02
Speaker 6: the than Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
29:04
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, I can just imagine the smiles on the
29:08
Speaker 2: faces of those conservatives. The big question, of course, is
29:11
Speaker 2: who is going to take this most important job of
29:13
Speaker 2: Special Envoy to Nations and regions. It sounds like the
29:17
Speaker 2: type of job you could get a garden nome to do.
29:20
Speaker 2: To be honest with you, it's ten to six Bryan Bridge, right,
29:25
Speaker 2: Who is going to pay and how much will the
29:29
Speaker 2: bill be for any redress to those who have survived
29:33
Speaker 2: abuse in state care and faith based institutions. If you
29:36
Speaker 2: go back to and have a look at the Royal Commission,
29:40
Speaker 2: you'll see a couple of numbers banded about. There was
29:43
Speaker 2: a lawyer for survivors who said estimated the cost of
29:47
Speaker 2: abuse to a survivor over their lifetime at eight hundred
29:50
Speaker 2: and fifty thousand dollars on average, eight hundred and fifty
29:54
Speaker 2: thousand dollars per survivor on average over the course of
29:57
Speaker 2: their lifetime. That is a lot of money. And you've
29:59
Speaker 2: got two hundred thousand people who have been affected by
30:03
Speaker 2: this absolutely horrific abuse, you know, on a scale and
30:07
Speaker 2: a range up to an including torture, that is a
30:11
Speaker 2: very big bill potentially hundreds of millions or potentially into
30:15
Speaker 2: the billions of dollars. Who should pay for that? Should
30:18
Speaker 2: it be the taxpayer? Should it be the government, the state?
30:22
Speaker 2: Of course in some situations it should be. But what
30:24
Speaker 2: about the churches? Who's holding them responsible for their part
30:28
Speaker 2: in all of this?
30:29
Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth
30:32
Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Fifth City, New
30:36
Speaker 1: Zealand's Furniture Beds and a Playing Store.
30:38
Speaker 2: News Talks, sedb siven Away from six News Talks said,
30:41
Speaker 2: b So Trump, Yes, he has done very well. Yes,
30:43
Speaker 2: the Republicans have done very well, taking the White House,
30:46
Speaker 2: likely the House, but also the Senate, flipping the Senate,
30:50
Speaker 2: but that majority, and at the moment it's two hundred
30:52
Speaker 2: and fourteen seats for the Republicans and the House to
30:55
Speaker 2: the Democrats two hundred and five are sixteen seats still
30:59
Speaker 2: to be called. But it seems like a lot, But
31:02
Speaker 2: it's not actually a lot when you take into account
31:04
Speaker 2: that at least two of those will go to jobs
31:07
Speaker 2: in Trump's administration. You lose a couple to a scandal perhaps,
31:10
Speaker 2: and Trump is notorious for cracking the whip. You get
31:13
Speaker 2: fighting between them like you had last time, and suddenly
31:16
Speaker 2: you're looking at you know, Trump wanting to increase the
31:18
Speaker 2: debt ceiling or make cuts, and you've got in fighting
31:22
Speaker 2: and then potentially you have no longer have a majority.
31:25
Speaker 2: So it's well, it seems like a lot. It can
31:29
Speaker 2: be quite fragile that six minutes away from six now,
31:32
Speaker 2: and Mike ha said he's on the show next. Hey, Mike,
31:35
Speaker 2: good morning, Rideo morning Now. We've been debating a couple
31:37
Speaker 2: of things this morning. One is the broadcast allocation for
31:40
Speaker 2: political parties. Yes, ACT wants to do away with it. Yes,
31:44
Speaker 2: I don't think that that is necessarily fair.
31:46
Speaker 12: There's no right answer because We've been grappling with this
31:50
Speaker 12: for years, haven't we. So you open it up to
31:51
Speaker 12: the open, Marc, and go just go find whoever you want.
31:55
Speaker 12: An act or a national party will always win and
31:57
Speaker 12: win comfortably, which is not fair seemingly so equally though,
32:01
Speaker 12: if you flip it and go, well, look, the state
32:03
Speaker 12: gives everybody the same amount of money. I mean, at
32:05
Speaker 12: what cost and.
32:06
Speaker 2: How wendy four million dollars well, exactly.
32:10
Speaker 12: As four million dollars really the end of the world
32:12
Speaker 12: given the overall I.
32:13
Speaker 2: Mean, how many lunches, how many school lunch it.
32:15
Speaker 12: Is, but you can always say that, I mean how
32:17
Speaker 12: much you're paying for the abuse and care as you
32:20
Speaker 12: were just talking about, how many hundreds of millions. I
32:22
Speaker 12: will ask because the Prime Ministers on this morning at
32:25
Speaker 12: some point I don't know whether he will admit it,
32:27
Speaker 12: but at some point. First of all, you've got a
32:29
Speaker 12: can of worms. Right where's the end? There is no end.
32:33
Speaker 12: And this is my great concern because even out of yesterday,
32:35
Speaker 12: I have no doubt in my mind that yesterday was
32:39
Speaker 12: done with the best of intentions. Yeah, of course it was,
32:41
Speaker 12: well no, and not according to half the people were there.
32:43
Speaker 12: Apparently was a pr stunt. It was shallow, it was
32:46
Speaker 12: a waste, it was the whole thing.
32:47
Speaker 2: You would have got that no matter who was doing
32:49
Speaker 2: the apology.
32:50
Speaker 12: Right, is exactly what I'm saying. So you will get
32:52
Speaker 12: that when they say we will give you twelve thousand dollars,
32:54
Speaker 12: eighty thousand dollars, eight hundred thousand dollars, it will never
32:57
Speaker 12: be enough. It'll never make people happy. There is no win.
33:00
Speaker 12: So you've got this massive can of worms. But then
33:02
