• 1:25
  Speaker 2: died and eighty have been injured in Japan's worst typhoon
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: in decades. Typhoon Shanshan has unleashed torrential rain and strong
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: winds in southwest regions. Five million people ordered to evacuate,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: two hundred thousand homes without power, and productions stopped at Toyota, Nissan,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: and Honda factories. To the Middle East, five more militants
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: have died in the West Bank is Israel's raid Injines
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: its second day there. Depending on who you ask, the
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: total of about seventeen people have died. Local paramedics say
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: they didn't see any of this coming.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: The army read of the refugee camp with a large
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: number of soldiers on foot.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: They read it from different sides.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: We were surprised.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Back home now, the Kancers Society is preparing for its
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: thirty fourth annual Daffodil Day. So do you give generously?
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: One in three Kiwis will get cancer in their lifetime.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: It's a very sad stat Wellington, Kansas Society Chief EXECI
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: of Daryl Carpenter is encouraging people to donate. That acknowledges
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: not everyone can.
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: That's okay, even just a smile and please carry on
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: the good work.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: Encourages our people.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition with
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds and
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: a playing store.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: News Talk said, Bee, you're just joining us the tie Hoddle.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: This is the team New Zealand's boat for the opening
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: day of the Challenger stage of the America's Cup. So
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: there's a crane. It lifts the boat into its little
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: cradle to go to bed at night and drops it.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Not a map from a great height by the sounds
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: of it, but drops it a little bit. And they're
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: trying to figure out what's wrong with the boat. That
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: why they only get one boat. That doesn't seem fair
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: to me. If you're playing tennis, you get as many
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: tennis rackets as you want. Why I only get one boat.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: I assume it's something to do with funding or fairness
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: or I don't know. If you better make one boat
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: and make it unsinkable. I guess that's the point. Somebody
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: else will know. Nine two ninety two is the number
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: to text. We're going to talk rugby in just a
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: few moments. But interesting couple of interesting things to start
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: the morning with China. So Jake Sullivan, who's the National
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Security advisor to Biden. He's spent the week. We mentioned
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: this earlier on spent the week in China. He's basically
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: the calm, the farm guy for the US at the moment. Obviously,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: the US election is coming, and he's saying, don't worry, mate,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: will be sweet. You know, nothing really will change now.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Shijinpang is quite worried about Trump getting into power, and
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: with good reason. And she and Biden met in California
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: in November last year, and they made a bunch of agreements.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Biden said, you know, we're not going to do a
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: cold war thing with China. That's great. We're not going
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: to you know, we're going to cooperate in a whole
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: bunch of areas. The big problem, though, of course, is
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: that Trump has promised a sixty percent across the board
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: tariff on Chinese goods coming into America, sixty percent plus
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: by the way ten percent for everybody else. So when
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: little old Jake Sullivan left the Great Hall of the
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: People in Beijing last night, you can just imagine the
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Chinese what they would have been thinking. Oh, that was
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: a nice cup of tea. But ultimately it's meaningless, isn't
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: it what we're talking about. It's meaningless because of this
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: pesky little thing in the West they call democracy, and
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: once that vote happens in November, things could all change,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Ryan Bridge. Eleven minutes after five. We'll keep you up
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: to speed what's happening in the West Bank. Also in
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: christ Church, christ Church the following Auckland's lead when it
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: comes to Booze. So nine pm and from December is
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: when you're going to be able to Is the cutoff time?
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: If you want to buy off license, you cannot do
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: it after nine pm? Is that really going to solve
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: our problems drinking problems? I don't think so. Eleven after five, Hey.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge, New for twenty twenty four on early edition
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: News talks.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: It'd be on our broken boat. This is from Tayaney
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: says Team carew has allowed two boats challenges only one,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: So there you go. Fourteen minutes after five if you're
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: just joining us, There's been some sort of issue where
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: the ty hoddle our boat over at the Challenger stage
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: of the America's Cup was being lifted into its cradle
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: to go to sleep at night and was dropped a
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: little bit on its head. Hopefully it'll be all right.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: They're looking into it. Fourteen minutes after five. Now the
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: hawks Bay Regional Council is facing flak over a Facebook
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: post which features photos of patched gang members inside council chambers.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Now the council uploaded the posts to Facebook. It included
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: the gang members celebrating the decision to retain the Maori wards.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Simon Brown, who's the local government minister, is really upset
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: at this. He said it was appalling. They are intimidating
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: and you're not allowed patches. It's against the law. So
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: what were they doing there? Honeywhite Armspi's the hawks Bay
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Regional Council chair and she joins me this morning, Mordena
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Mardina Ryan, thanks for being with me. Simon Brown is
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: not happy. What do you reckon?
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 6:33
  Speaker 7: So I'd just like to take us through sort of
• 6:37
  Speaker 7: the event that happened on Wednesday. So we're in council chambers.
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: We were obviously discussing an important matter around Mardi representations
• 6:48
  Speaker 7: through our two Marti constituencies. And look, that was a
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: very calm environment. Near the end, in the middle of deliberations,
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: we had mongol Old members come into the chambers. It
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: was it was quite packed as it was, and the
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: best thing in that situation ready to do was bring
• 7:11
  Speaker 7: the discussion to a conclusion and allow the chamber to
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: disperse because the item was over and it was a
• 7:18
  Speaker 7: unanimous vote to support and retain those Mali constituencies, which
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: gives us the opportunity to go to rest Gringdom and
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: give the community the opportunity now to explain the many
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: benefits of having Mary boys are on the table. So
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: that that's really what had happened on Facebook, So that
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: that was our staff and you know that was probably
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: not not a good move, and that they did come
• 7:54
  Speaker 7: down a couple of them afterwards. So that was the
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: discussion that.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: They had with our c Do you guys have security.
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: Not full time security.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: So we're there security that they're on the day, No.
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: Not that I was aware of. So when I looked
• 8:11
  Speaker 7: into whether we have a policy now, given this is
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: the first time it's happened in the Hawks Bay Regional Council,
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: we don't have a policy around beanning game pictures. But
• 8:24
  Speaker 7: we need to have one now of course because the
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: laws we.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Don't because presumably, I mean, I don't know what your
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: alcohol or drugs policy is, but it's against the law
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: smoke meta. You wouldn't let someone come in and smoke
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: methan in your chamber, do you know what I mean?
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: No, no, And it's against the law and the laws
• 8:41
  Speaker 7: enforced by police, and in this situation and council buildings
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: you'd have a policy. And those that provide public service
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: areas like a district and city councils have a really
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: strong robust policy around beanning game pictures. It's never happened
• 9:00
  Speaker 7: for us, so one, but we will have one now.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: In the future. Call you'd call one one one, I guess,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: would you, and say yeah, because we're.
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: Follow a policy that looked at, you know, asking those
• 9:15
  Speaker 7: members leave your jackets in the car not acceptable to
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: bring in the building.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Did they say anything while over there anyway?
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: No?
• 9:24
  Speaker 7: No, And look in the room. It was very peaceful
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: come in a celebratory one. There was no there was
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: no words from them, there was no intimidation, no one
• 9:42
  Speaker 7: felt no, no, and you know, just just to be
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: clear that they came through near the end of the item,
• 9:52
  Speaker 7: and so the best thing was was to carry on,
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: bring it to its conclusion, and then allow people to
• 9:58
  Speaker 7: leave once we exposures.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: Anyway, that's a situation.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Thank you right, thank you very much for your time
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: for explaining it to us. I really appreciate Hennaway Ormsby,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: who is the Hawks Bay Regional Council chair. It's just
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: gone eighteen minutes after five. I'm in two minds about
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: this one, because, on the one hand, don't you want,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: no matter who they are, don't you want people in society,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: especially those on the fringes of society, to be involved
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: in democracy. I mean, wouldn't you rather that among your
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: mob member was attending a no offense boring Hawks Bay
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Regional Council meeting, then I don't know, peddling misery on
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: the streets, then beating someone up, then robbing a house
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: or you know, stealing a car. Part of me goes, well,
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: isn't this what we want? Don't we want them to
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: be involved in the political process so that perhaps they
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: feel like they have some you know, agency over over
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: the place. Maybe it would change this situation. The other
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: side of me goes, they are absolute thugs who do things.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: And I was reading this morning. This is the chapter,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: the local chapter, Central Hawk's Bay Chapter. A laughing mongrel
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: mob prospect was jailed. This is just last year. Jailed
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: laughed as he stomped on the head of a defenseless man,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: yelling sig effing hail, and then goes to jail for murder.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: So I don't know, I don't know what the conclusion is.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Text the news you need this morning and the in
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: depth analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Swis City,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: New Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: News Talks Z'd be.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Twenty two minutes after five year on news Talks, there'd
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: be lots of debate on the text about this meeting
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Hawks Bay Regional Council. So they're halfway through a vote
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: on the Maori wards and Mongrel Mob members walk and patched.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Mungrel Mob members member it's illegal to have a patch on.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: They walk out and meeting continues. They bring it to
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: a close as soon as they can, and then someone
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: from the council puts it on Facebook. There's a big
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: hooh about that. Ryan. What is wrong with you? How
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: can the law be upheld while you're making such comments?
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Shame on you. The point I was making is isn't
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: it a good thing? Wouldn't it be a good thing
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: if mongrel Mob members, instead of selling drugs or stealing cars,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: attended regional council meetings? You know, I wouldn't society just
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: be a bit better for that? As I said, the horrible, horrific, nasty,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: evil things that they do you cannot stomach. Ryan. Had
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: they had the vote before or after the Mongrel Mold
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: members arrived, it could have been a bit confronting if
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: you thought you had to vote a particular way because
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: they were standing there. I think that's the point same
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: and Brown was making. If you had ever been intimidated,
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: stood over, beaten up by a Mongrel Mob member and
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: you were in that council chamber and you were voting,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: would you potentially have been swayed by their presence? It's
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: a question while worth asking. Twenty three minutes.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: After five Ryan Bridge ow.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Boys and Black are about to enter the Lions Den,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Alice Park and Johannesburg. The teams have been named. Captain
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Scott Barrett is back as lock after a finger injury,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: and Sam Kin will be returning to the starting fifteen
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: for the first time since that Rugby World Cup last year.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: So can the All Blacks do it? Or will South
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Africa beat them on home turf? I should say Kevin
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: part is a former Springbok and rugby commentator. He's with
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: me this morning, get a Kevin good Morning. So big
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: game this weekend. I would just feel scared for them
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: walking into that Lion's Den.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: Oh look, it is a really confrontational, hostile sort of place.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: But that's the same reason they also played the game.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: And it's not as if we're not prepared. The reason
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: you bring a guy like Sam Kine back, you know,
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: someone with so much experience and that he's done that
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: multiple times and we're success.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: So that experience will be key.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: You think, oh, one hundred percent. I mean, the one
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: thing is and people may not have sort of highlighted it,
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: but this is a sort of an undercooked Springbok team,
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: which you never get an undercooked team. But you know
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: two locks who aren't really locked. They're sort of number
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: six and seven on their pecking order over there, still
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: fantastic players you know played last week. But I mean
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: one World Player of the year is the blindside loose forward.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: So if there's an opportunity to sort of attack their
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: line out and that now would be the time.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Are you saying they might be a bit vulnerable?
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: I haven't found many. Yeah, I wouldn't go with many
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: vulnerable Springbok teams, but that there are certain opportunities to
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: try and come through. And I mean with the guideline
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: Scott Barrett, we should be sort of pumping there, going yeah,
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: but he's in the same position that they are at
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: the stage a little bit weak. The only thing to
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: counter that is they've just is the best back from
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: injury and I mean, you know, your best player in
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: the world able to come off the bench and probably
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: you know, go like an absolute bowing for about thirty minutes.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: Is that scares the heck out of anyone?
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: A bad time for us to be watching here, But
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: it'll be a great game. Looking forward to it and
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: thank you. What's your score pick? By the way, have
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: you got one? Or who's winning? And what's Yeah?
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: I do I unfortunately think we might win at Cape Town,
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: but I think this one could be about six points
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: to the box.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: All right, Kevin part thank you very much for your trying.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Form a Springbok and Rugby commentator. Just gone twenty six
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: minutes after five.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: The early edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio power by News.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: Talks at me.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: I've got an amazing wonder drug to tell you about
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: New Zealand and it saved me in the last couple
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: of weeks. People are talking about it from top of
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: the country to the bottom. And it's not ozempic. No,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: I'm not taking ozembic, though I wouldn't mind trying it.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of people are curious anyway. David
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Seymour made this drug a priority. Yes, I'm talking about
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: pseudoepha dream. I felt sick. I took it, the symptoms disappeared.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: I had a wedding recently. People said they wouldn't have
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: come without it. What must it be doing for our
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: productivity as well? Fewer sick days. I spoke to a
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: friend of mine who's a mum. She's got young kids,
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: and you send your kid to day care, they get
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: all the bugs under the sun. They bring the germs home.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: The kids are gross and they pass it on to
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: mum and dad. Mum and dad go down like flies,
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: They take time off work, et cetera, et cetera, and
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: then bam, pop the miracle drug. Pseudo mums and pseudo dads.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: So they are absolutely over the moon about this. It's
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: the drug we never well, we forgot we needed, isn't it.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: I said to my friend, what about the methadics, because
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: that's the argument. You know, the methadics will get it
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: and then they'll cook it up, and you know it
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: could be stolen. It's the precursor to PA. And she said,
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: I don't care. She said, I don't care. They'll find
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: it anyway, and I just need to get through my
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: work wig and get the kids to school. So thank
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: you David Seymour for pseudo effortring and thank you to
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Big Farmer, really really underrated Big Farmer. A lot of
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: people give it a hard time. It's like it's like
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: big Oil, you know, just sometimes they do good things.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: So cheers to Pfizer or whoever it is. It makes up.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day Early

  Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City New Zealand's furniture

• 17:38
  Speaker 3: News Talk Zippy, good morning.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: It is twenty four minutes away from six year on
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: News Talk, said b Vincent mcavinnie. Out of the UK
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: in just a few moments. They're doing what we are
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: now not doing on smoking. The new government they're planning
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: to go ahead with a ban on tobacco sales for
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: those born after January two thousand and nine, So basically,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: anyone who's nine eighteen yet sorry, can't smoke cigarettes. We'll
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: ask how that's going down over in the UK shortly. Also,
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: we're going to talk about toll roads and how much
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: you really want to pay for them. All of that
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: straight ahead, plus lots of your feedback coming in, and
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: we will get to this story the woman who is
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: facing potentially facing charges after she did what to a
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: child that was crying on a plane. That's coming shortly,
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Ray and Bridge. It's gone at twenty three minutes away
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: from six. We're going to head to our reporters now
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: who are right around the country. Are we going to
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: our reporters right around the country, Yes, we are. We're
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: going to Colum Proctor first into nedin color positive Environmental
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: news for the Otago region. Your morning, Ryan.
• 19:02
  Speaker 8: The Regional Council's announced that it's funded nine environmental linked
• 19:05
  Speaker 8: projects here, with more than thirty three thousand dollars provided
• 19:10
  Speaker 8: to these projects. In fact, no projects would decline funding
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: from the fifty thousand dollars annual funding support pool. The
• 19:18
  Speaker 8: Regional Council says, there are amazing people doing great work
• 19:21
  Speaker 8: and it's important the largely community led projects are assisted.
• 19:25
  Speaker 8: Recipients included Tirunaka or To Colimited and the Otago Youth
• 19:29
  Speaker 8: Adventure Trust.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: How's your weather today? Come?
• 19:33
  Speaker 8: Mainly fine, chance of a shower, westerlies and sixteen today.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Great, thank you. Claire Sheubert is in christ Church clear
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: a belief the impact of a major gang crackdown in
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: christ Church may not actually hamper the drug market for
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: that long. Yeah, not for that long, Ryan.
• 19:47
  Speaker 9: That's the belief of Canterbury University sociologist Jared Gilbert. This
• 19:52
  Speaker 9: of course comes after yesterday's massive news that millions of
• 19:55
  Speaker 9: dollars worth of illicit drugs had seen twenty one Common
• 19:58
  Speaker 9: Chero members arrested. That included the entire patched christ Church
• 20:02
  Speaker 9: chapter of that gang. It was a big undertaking it
• 20:05
  Speaker 9: came to a head with seventy search warrants after eight
• 20:08
  Speaker 9: months of policing work. Police believe it will make a
• 20:11
  Speaker 9: significant dent in our drug trade, with intelligence suggesting this
• 20:15
  Speaker 9: particular group is responsible for the majority of Class A
• 20:18
  Speaker 9: drugs coming into the area. But according to Jared Gilbert,
• 20:21
  Speaker 9: while the significant bus does threaten the common chero's existence,
• 20:25
  Speaker 9: the demand for drugs will remain. He says others will
• 20:28
  Speaker 9: simply step in and fill that void, So it may
• 20:30
  Speaker 9: have a very very short term impact on the drug scene.
• 20:34
  Speaker 9: How So, weather today a nice Friday here mainly find
• 20:37
  Speaker 9: variable high cloud, northwesterlies and seventeen have a.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Nice one, Claire, thank you, Max Toles and Wellington. Max.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: You're going to the park this weekend, Well a.
• 20:46
  Speaker 10: Few more people will be able to because I'm sure
• 20:49
  Speaker 10: you'll recall Frank Kitts Park and the car park underneath
• 20:52
  Speaker 10: it on the waterfront. It would use to host a
• 20:54
  Speaker 10: market every weekend. The car park had to close four
• 20:57
  Speaker 10: years ago due to it being a quake risk, is
• 21:00
  Speaker 10: now reopening four years on despite no work being done
• 21:04
  Speaker 10: on it. The difference being the government's updated earthquake strengthening guidelines.
• 21:09
  Speaker 10: Bit of a shame, not just because the car park
• 21:10
  Speaker 10: was always a popular site for people driving into the city,
• 21:14
  Speaker 10: particularly heading to that waterfront area, but also the markets,
• 21:18
  Speaker 10: and also because it generated more than two hundred and
• 21:20
  Speaker 10: fifty thousand dollars a year, which means the city's missed
• 21:23
  Speaker 10: out on a million bucks that could have made for
• 21:25
  Speaker 10: doing nothing.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: What's your weather like today? Mix partly cloudly with a
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: few showers.
• 21:30
  Speaker 10: High of fourteenth Central.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: Thank you Neiva's and Auckland. Hey, Neva, good morning. How's
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: our weather today in Auckland?
• 21:36
  Speaker 11: Our weather, Oh my gosh, happy Friday because it's mainly
• 21:39
  Speaker 11: fine all day, just a little bit of high cloud
• 21:41
  Speaker 11: increasing this evening and it's a high of eighteen.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Very springy, springy airs. Did you see the see the
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: lightning and hear the thunder last night?
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: Boy?
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Did it? I did not.
• 21:51
  Speaker 11: I fell asleep. Look, I think I'm still just getting
• 21:54
  Speaker 11: over COVID And I fell asleep at four thirty pm
• 21:57
  Speaker 11: and I woke up at midnight. Oh wow, came inpring
• 22:01
  Speaker 11: and my sa I missed the whole thing. And I
• 22:02
  Speaker 11: said to Genny, Hey, I'm just talking about the weather.
• 22:04
  Speaker 11: Did did did that eventuate?
• 22:06
  Speaker 12: The rain?
• 22:07
  Speaker 11: Did you not see it and hear it. Oh I
• 22:08
  Speaker 11: missed that one.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: It was frightening. It was well, I mean it's funny,
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: but you do jump, don't you when it's that loud?
• 22:14
  Speaker 11: And did it go on for hours?
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: A couple maybe an hour? Oh yeah, that was a
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: good show. Great show. Neither the standoff between academics and
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: bosses at the uni.
• 22:24
  Speaker 11: Yeah, look, professors at Auckland Union, now the stage. This
• 22:27
  Speaker 11: is an emergency vote to try to block a controversial
• 22:30
  Speaker 11: course shake up. Now the flare up began. I think
• 22:32
  Speaker 11: you might remember this earlier this month with faculty heads.
• 22:35
  Speaker 11: They were told of a new proposal. This was to
• 22:37
  Speaker 11: review the university's offerings and had smaller post grad and
• 22:42
  Speaker 11: undergrad courses in scope. So of course this was met
• 22:44
  Speaker 11: with widespread alarm that you know, look after these courses
• 22:48
  Speaker 11: across multiple faculties under certain numbers of enrollments, that they
• 22:52
  Speaker 11: were suddenly on the chopping block, so not good. Raised
• 22:55
  Speaker 11: a bit of alarm. It's seen now as a clear
• 22:57
  Speaker 11: message to Vice Chancellor that's dawn freshwater, that the process
• 23:01
  Speaker 11: has gone off the rails. So we'll be keeping a
• 23:03
  Speaker 11: close eye on this one.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Sounds like we need to thank you very much, Neva.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Happy Friday, Happy Friday for good weekend. Nineteen minutes away
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: from six.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: This is News Talk ZEDB Breaking news.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: In breaking news, King y To Hatitia has died at
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: the age of sixty nine, just days after the eighteenth
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: anniversary of his coronation. The Office of the King Yetanga
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: has issued a statement saying he died peacefully yesterday afternoon
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: while recovering from heart surgery. It says he was surrounded
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: by his wife, Marco Ariki and their children. It says
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: the death of kingi to Haitia is a moment of
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: great sadness for the followers of the king Eetanga Martyrdom
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: and the entire nation. To Haitia is expected to lie
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: in state tuung A yay MARIAI for several days before
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: being taken into his final resting place at Topidi Mountain.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Just repeating that if you're just joining up, kingny To
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Haitia has died at the age of sixty nine.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: International correspondence with ins andn Eye Insurance.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: Peace of mind for New Zealand business.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Just on call.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: It just six vincent Mecavanese, UK and europe correspondents with US.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: We tried to do this here actually Vincent and our
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: new government has dropped it. But your new government is
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: plowing ahead with a bin on tobacco sales.
• 24:25
  Speaker 12: Yeah, that's right, and they're even making it tougher, so
• 24:28
  Speaker 12: from anyone born on the start of January two thousand
• 24:32
  Speaker 12: and nine effectively will never be able to buy tobacco.
• 24:36
  Speaker 12: So they're trying to create this smoke free generation and
• 24:39
  Speaker 12: have that as a legacy from the future. There's something
• 24:41
  Speaker 12: that Richie Soon wanted. It sort of went away because
• 24:44
  Speaker 12: he called the election, but now Kirs Darmer has signaled
• 24:47
  Speaker 12: he's very much bringing it back, and he's also going
• 24:50
  Speaker 12: to ban seventeen years after banning smoking indoors, they're going
• 24:53
  Speaker 12: to ban it in certain outdoor spaces as well, like
• 24:56
  Speaker 12: pub gardens, the sort of terraces of cafes and restaurants,
• 25:00
  Speaker 12: hospital grounds and sports grounds as well, to try and
• 25:03
  Speaker 12: really push it out of common public spaces.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Does it include vaping or is it just smoking cigarettes?
• 25:10
  Speaker 12: It is going to include vaping as well. Vaping is
• 25:12
  Speaker 12: banned indoors and they're sort of getting more worried now
• 25:14
  Speaker 12: about vaping. The UK had taken a slightly different approach
• 25:17
  Speaker 12: of softer approach on vaping, but their evidence is increasingly
• 25:20
  Speaker 12: showing that people instead of it being a way to
• 25:22
  Speaker 12: come off cigarettes, it's a way that young people are
• 25:24
  Speaker 12: starting to smoke and then moving onto cigarettes, or indeed
• 25:27
  Speaker 12: some of the vaping is causing even worse problems because
• 25:30
  Speaker 12: of these unregulated products.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Right, how's it going down? Is anyone up on arms
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: or angry needings?
• 25:35
  Speaker 12: Well, there's actually yeah, I've been doing the story today.
• 25:38
  Speaker 12: There are a couple of people, you know, smokers, who
• 25:39
  Speaker 12: I said, well, this isn't going to stop me smoking.
• 25:41
  Speaker 12: I'll just have to go further away. But we've actually
• 25:43
  Speaker 12: seen some polling today which shows that the vast majority
• 25:45
  Speaker 12: of the UK is actually on board with this. The
• 25:48
  Speaker 12: Prime Minister is pointing out the fact that it's eighty
• 25:50
  Speaker 12: thousand excess deaths a year from smoking and it costs
• 25:52
  Speaker 12: the NHS billions of pounds and taxpayers billions of pounds.
• 25:56
  Speaker 12: Because some would say that the taxes on cigarettes are
• 25:59
  Speaker 12: high that helps fun the HS. But really it seems
• 26:01
  Speaker 12: the public mood has shifted on this. No one really
• 26:04
  Speaker 12: in the UK wants to receive smoking returning indoors, and
• 26:07
  Speaker 12: I think people see this as the next evolution of it.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: All right, interesting, thanks so much for that. Vincent mcaviny
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: with us from the UK. It's just gone thirteen away
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: from six shovement's shifting all light vehicles off fuel excise
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: and into the road user charges system the rucks from
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: as early as twenty twenty seven. There's a bunch of
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: other stuff going on too, like more toll roads coming
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: your way, new toll roads, I should add, so it's
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: not like they're going to toll existing ones. And also
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: council is going to get more power to up parking fines.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Jeff Upson is the Rodney local board member and road
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: safety campaigner. He's with US live this morning.
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: Good Jeff, morning, right, and how are you doing.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Good? Good, Good to have you on the show. What
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: do you reckon about the everyone it's an even playing
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: field with the rucks, I suppose, well, yeah.
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: I mean it's a fear system. So what it means
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: is that it doesn't matter how big your engine is,
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: you're now going to be paying per kilometer traveled. And
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: this is a system that we've had for for years,
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: for decades for all diesel vehicles, and obviously all the
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: battery powered cars have now moved to the system. As well,
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: where where they pay a rate per kilometer traveled on
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: the roads. And and so this way we will be
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: able to collect the money will still be collected for
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: road maintenance, you know, fixing potholes. Unfortunately, when labor gets
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: back in, it will be used for building speed bumps.
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: Again I'm not I'm not looking forward to that part
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: of it. But in the meantime it will be used
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: for road maintenance.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah. What about the if you're filling up a lawnmar
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: or a boat or something at the petrol station, would
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: that be cheaper then?
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: Well, absolutely yeah, Because at the moment, if you're filling
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: up your boat or your law mower or you know,
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: you you're whatever you're filling up, you're paying road tax
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: on that. And so, so what what it means is
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: that once this shift happens, it will be cheaper to
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: mow your lawns, It'll be cheaper to take the boat
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: out fishing, It'll be it'll be when cod bikes on
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: the farm. So so farming will then become a little
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: bit cheaper, which which will obviously help the food production costs.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: I suppose the worry would be people who can't afford
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: to pay them you know, I can't afford afford to
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: pay the road user charges.
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, this is something that's that I've been
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: talking about since March when when Simmon Brown originally announced
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: it in the Government policy Statement on Transport. And I
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: have heard from from certain people that it will be
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: quite difficult, you know, especially the lower socio economic areas.
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: It'll be quite difficult for people to manage manage their spending,
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: you know, because at the moment it's it's very simple.
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: You know, you fill up your car at the pump
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: and everything is included. Whereas this new system it does
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: mean that people will have to pay for the petrol
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: at the pump and then they have to pay for
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: their kilometers separately. I have heard there's a bit of
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: issue there, and I've heard that people are going to
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: try and steal from the government, you know, which already
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: happens with diesel vehicles, where people wind their speedos back
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: to try and get away without paying the road user
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: charges and things like that. But I think, I mean
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: that that is a reality that is going to happen.
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: But I think with modern technology now it's a lot
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: more difficult to wind your speedo back and also every
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: time a vehicle goes in for a warn of fitness,
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: they'll be checking the kilometers and if a vehicle isn't
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: arears is it already happens with diesel vehicles. If a
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: vehicle is in areas, the transport agency simply sends an
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: invoice for the different kilometer.
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: So wherever you're overdue, yeah.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: Kind of it comes out on the wash. Jeff, thank
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: you for that. Jeff Upson, Rodney Local Board member. Just
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: the guy that used to draw giant penises on the
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: road to identify where the potholes were so that they
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: would get fixed. He is now with the Rodney Local Board,
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: just gone nine away from.
