- 0:11Speaker 2: It'd be good morning. It is six half to five
- 0:14Speaker 2: exciting times. We've got a trade mission landing in New
- 0:17Speaker 2: Delhi this week. Sticking points on that before six this morning,
- 0:21Speaker 2: so called political scandals coming out our ears this morning

- 0:31Speaker 2: the country as they always are, and bed farmers on
- 0:33Speaker 2: the new livestock numbers out Where have all the sheep gone?
- 0:37Speaker 2: We'll find out the agenda Tuesday, the sixth of May.
- 0:42Speaker 2: Good morning to you. Trump threatening movies with tariffs with
- 0:45Speaker 2: a post on truth social by do.
- 0:47Speaker 3: People argue that Hollywood is not doing badly and that
- 0:50Speaker 3: you may actually do more damage than good with something like.
- 0:54Speaker 2: This because it could push production cars.
- 0:57Speaker 3: And then that means fewer movies would be able to
- 1:00Speaker 3: get meat.
- 1:01Speaker 2: And move over, Mark Mitchell. Trump also reopening Alcatraz.
- 1:05Speaker 4: Donald Trump is at the first president to suggest potentially
- 1:08Speaker 4: opening it.
- 1:09Speaker 5: President Reagan considered it in nineteen eighty one, but as
- 1:12Speaker 5: I say, it's just massively impractical.
- 1:15Speaker 2: The Diddy jury selection kicks off, as this is sex
- 1:18Speaker 2: trafficking trial, potential jurors being asked if they have any
- 1:21Speaker 2: history of sexual assault or rather trauma and if they
- 1:24Speaker 2: could be impartial.
- 1:26Speaker 1: It moves much faster in federal court than it does
- 1:28Speaker 1: in stake court, so I can you can expect a
- 1:30Speaker 1: jury by the end.
- 1:31Speaker 2: Of the week. Finally, in the UK, V Day Street
- 1:35Speaker 2: parties are being held at Buckingham Palace in Downing Street
- 1:38Speaker 2: to mark eighty years since World War II ended in Europe.
- 1:41Speaker 2: The Royal family watching the red Arrows fly over the Palace.
- 1:45Speaker 5: The Red Arrows roar over the mau with their red,
- 1:48Speaker 5: white and blue smoke trails. The Royal family will now
- 1:51Speaker 5: spend the afternoon with veterans, remembering their comrades, reflecting on
- 1:56Speaker 5: that hard fought victory.
- 1:58Speaker 2: And that is your agenda. Eight after.
- 2:01Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan
- 2:05Speaker 1: Bridge and one roof Make your Property search Simple News
- 2:09Speaker 1: Talk said.
- 2:10Speaker 2: Be nine two the number to text. Grant says Trump
- 2:13Speaker 2: doing what he said he'd do. I don't think he
- 2:15Speaker 2: mentioned his tariffs on movies, did he. Anyway, He's cocked
- 2:20Speaker 2: and loaded the tariff gun again, this time American movies
- 2:25Speaker 2: made outside America. In his sights, you have the gift
- 2:29Speaker 2: of foresight.
- 2:30Speaker 6: Tell me what you have seen is not coming back, says,
- 2:37Speaker 6: have to hope they were hard.
- 2:41Speaker 1: There's nothing for your here, probably dolarised.
- 2:47Speaker 2: So the question is where the movie is like this,
- 2:49Speaker 2: the Lord of the Rings which have been made here,
- 2:52Speaker 2: would still be made here with a one hundred percent
- 2:54Speaker 2: tariff wept on the top of them. The answer is no.
- 2:58Speaker 2: Would this be bad for New Zealand? Yes, Canada, the UK,
- 3:02Speaker 2: the Aussies, hungry Italy, We're all in the same boat.
- 3:05Speaker 2: We're all packing our pants. In case he's actually serious
- 3:08Speaker 2: about this one, Houston, we have a problem. We get
- 3:11Speaker 2: around three and a half billion dollars mostly from foreign
- 3:14Speaker 2: films being made here. We do rather well out of this,
- 3:16Speaker 2: thank you very much. That's one percent of our GDP.
- 3:19Speaker 2: But think about all those iconic scenes, the tourism. You
- 3:23Speaker 2: can't put a price on this stuff. People love movies,
- 3:26Speaker 2: People love beautiful places, which is why people like shooting
- 3:30Speaker 2: movies in New Zealand. Right, Trump says, countries like ours
- 3:33Speaker 2: have been stealing their movie making capabilities. We've been destroying
- 3:38Speaker 2: Hollywood in the process. Think Miramar and Wellington right, and
- 3:42Speaker 2: you might think, oh, here he goes again with his nonsense.
- 3:45Speaker 2: But he's actually got a point because this free trade, loving, open, fair,
- 3:52Speaker 2: competitive little country has a not so secret secret subsidies you.
- 3:58Speaker 7: Whatever the truth, you can't handle the.
- 4:02Speaker 2: Truth and the truth. Our government pays hundreds of millions
- 4:06Speaker 2: of dollars each year in subsidies to foreign movie producers.
- 4:13Speaker 2: The idea is to do exactly what Trump said, We've done,
- 4:16Speaker 2: steal an industry from America. So while the tariffs on
- 4:19Speaker 2: sheep and beef and mostly everything else, our bonkers are
- 4:23Speaker 2: not based on any sound economic argument or reality. With films,
- 4:28Speaker 2: they are the end. Ryan Bridge on news Talks, he'd
- 4:33Speaker 2: be just gone eleven after five with lovely views on
- 4:35Speaker 2: that coming up next the North Island trying to steal
- 4:38Speaker 2: all the tourists.
- 4:39Speaker 1: News and views you trust to start your day is
- 4:42Speaker 1: early edition with Ryan Bridge and one Room, Make your
- 4:46Speaker 1: Property Search Simple news talks.
- 4:49Speaker 2: They'd be thirteen minutes after five news talks. They'd be
- 4:51Speaker 2: We'll get to the tourism in just the second Police
- 4:54Speaker 2: commission A former police commissioner should say, Mike Bosh, he's
- 4:57Speaker 2: got a new gig. Have you seen this? So he
- 4:59Speaker 2: was the one in char charge when we had the
- 5:00Speaker 2: christ Church terror attacks. You remember him from Facadi, White Island.
- 5:04Speaker 2: He's the one that slicks his hair back with too
- 5:06Speaker 2: much bill cream. Anyway, he's going to be top cop
- 5:09Speaker 2: at Victoria State Police. Over in Australia. It's it's thirteen
- 5:13Speaker 2: minutes after five now, Bryan. Two figures from stats ends
- 5:16Speaker 2: that our livestock numbers are falling twenty one percent drop
- 5:19Speaker 2: in sheep over the past decade. That's down to twenty
- 5:22Speaker 2: three point six million. Dairy cattle numbers dropped thirteen percent,
- 5:27Speaker 2: while beef cattle held steady. Toby Williams Meat and wheelchair
- 5:30Speaker 2: at fed Farmers with me this morning. Toby, Good morning
- 5:33Speaker 2: morning Ryan.
- 5:34Speaker 8: How are you pretty good? Thank you?
- 5:36Speaker 2: Now the reason really what this is about is there's
- 5:39Speaker 2: less grassland for the animals on to farm on right, yea.
- 5:43Speaker 8: It's all about land use change. And we've seen with
- 5:45Speaker 8: the forestry of sheep and beef and then dare you've
- 5:48Speaker 8: gone to horticulture and housing.
- 5:51Speaker 2: I saw that kiwi fruit was up thirty two percent
- 5:54Speaker 2: increase in land used for kiwi fruit. So we are
- 5:56Speaker 2: switching in some ways that that's a good thing.
- 6:01Speaker 8: It is, and people should be free to choose what
- 6:04Speaker 8: land you best suits the land have got, whether it's horticulture,
- 6:07Speaker 8: whether it's you know, dairy farming, or sheep and beef
- 6:10Speaker 8: or forestry for that matter. Our big concerns really lie
- 6:13Speaker 8: around the reduction and sheep numbers has been driven not
- 6:17Speaker 8: so much because forest is a better land use in
- 6:20Speaker 8: some cases it is, but as the carbon market that's
- 6:22Speaker 8: really driving that forward, because you get much more returned
- 6:25Speaker 8: from the carbon the eaty s tracket than you do
- 6:29Speaker 8: from she's beef.
- 6:30Speaker 2: Is there a number twenty three point six million sheep
- 6:33Speaker 2: in New Zealand right now in a twenty one percent
- 6:36Speaker 2: drop over the past decade. Is there a number below
- 6:39Speaker 2: which the industry starts to sort of cave in on itself.
- 6:43Speaker 8: Yeah, I think we're almost already there. We've seen the
- 6:45Speaker 8: challenges of alliance are having in terms of profitability and
- 6:49Speaker 8: be able to keep plants open and clothes's cell plant
- 6:53Speaker 8: and tomoru. So we're starting to see that really tipped
- 6:56Speaker 8: now as we need some capacity there in our processes
- 7:00Speaker 8: to be able to make sure that in droughts and
- 7:02Speaker 8: go that we can actually process and at peak times
- 7:03Speaker 8: we can process all the animals. How we still need
- 7:06Speaker 8: our plants to be efficient and you know, running at
- 7:10Speaker 8: a capacity and at those big plants now because are
- 7:13Speaker 8: really struggling to get the numbers of sheep through and
- 7:15Speaker 8: this winter is going to be a real tough one
- 7:17Speaker 8: for all of our processes. We're looking at being close
- 7:20Speaker 8: to a million lamps less to process this year than
- 7:22Speaker 8: what we had last year.
- 7:24Speaker 2: The hard thing is you can't It's very difficult to
- 7:27Speaker 2: unfart with forestry, isn't it.
- 7:30Speaker 8: Yeah, it is, And you know the government's made sort
- 7:32Speaker 8: of the right moves to try and put some limits
- 7:34Speaker 8: on it if there's announcements, but there's still loopholes there
- 7:37Speaker 8: that are enabling people to convert their better quality land
- 7:40Speaker 8: into pine trees. But ultimately what we need to ze
- 7:43Speaker 8: Ryan is a change to the ETU settings to better
- 7:47Speaker 8: balance our emissions as well as our production of food,
- 7:52Speaker 8: because we aren't seeing a demand for extra timber and
- 7:55Speaker 8: thirty years time, as much as the Green Party had
- 7:57Speaker 8: the announced gavdating and a build nice.
- 8:00Speaker 2: Sense, did you know what? Don't even talk about it, Toby,
- 8:03Speaker 2: because it's just such fanciful nonsense. Appreciate your time. Hey,
- 8:07Speaker 2: yes or no? Quick, yes or no from you, Toby.
- 8:09Speaker 2: And it's a hard one. Should we pull out of Paris?
- 8:13Speaker 8: Well that's a really hard one personally. Yeah, I think
- 8:16Speaker 8: you know we should be a yeah possibly all right, Yeah,
- 8:19Speaker 8: appreciate more information.
- 8:21Speaker 2: Ryan, Appreciate your time, Toby, Toby Williams meet and wolchair
- 8:24Speaker 2: fed farmers with us this morning, bright and early six
- 8:27Speaker 2: after sorry, sixteen minutes after five now news talks here'b.
- 8:30Speaker 2: I've always thought, you know, as a country, we produce, yes,
- 8:33Speaker 2: we have the higher methane emissions blah blah blah blah blah,
- 8:37Speaker 2: but we feed something like forty million people. We're a
- 8:40Speaker 2: country of five million that feeds forty million. Surely that's
- 8:43Speaker 2: going to count for something. We'll get to the tourism
- 8:45Speaker 2: seventeen after five next.
- 8:48Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge on early edition with one roof to make
- 8:52Speaker 1: your property search simple, Youth talk zibby.
- 8:55Speaker 2: Five nineteen, Good morning to you. We'll get to donn
- 8:57Speaker 2: and tomorrow. Out of Australia, Trump and Elbow have had
- 8:59Speaker 2: a call. Apparently Trump said he didn't have any idea
- 9:02Speaker 2: who Dutton was, which you can't know every leader already
- 9:06Speaker 2: or potential contender for a prime ministership around the world Canyon.
- 9:10Speaker 2: That's probably fair enough. So we'll talk to Donal tomorrow
- 9:12Speaker 2: out of Australia. And some great news that this free
- 9:15Speaker 2: trade deal negotiations talks are kicking off in Ernest and
- 9:19Speaker 2: New Dalhi. We've got a team heading that way. That's
- 9:21Speaker 2: just before six Bridge, a brand new alliance, a conglomerate
- 9:26Speaker 2: you could save fifteen tourism organizations. They're hoping to attract
- 9:30Speaker 2: more overseas visitors to the North Island of New Zealand.
- 9:33Speaker 2: So when you get all your foreigners coming in at
- 9:35Speaker 2: Auckland Airport, they want to steal them and keep them
- 9:38Speaker 2: in the North Island. Tannia Bird's head of destination at
- 9:40Speaker 2: North and inc with me this morning, Tanna, good morning,
- 9:43Speaker 2: good morning. You want to steal them all and keep
- 9:45Speaker 2: them for yourself?
- 9:48Speaker 9: Oh why not? We need more international visitors?
- 9:52Speaker 2: Why not? Yes? So where do they normally go? Because
- 9:55Speaker 2: it depends on who they are, right, but generally speaking,
- 9:58Speaker 2: they come into Auckland, go to Hobbiton, they go to
- 10:02Speaker 2: they jump on a plane down to Queenstown and then
- 10:04Speaker 2: they're out. Is that about fear?
- 10:07Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 10:07Speaker 7: You've probably answered the golden roots question. So where do
- 10:12Speaker 7: the majority of international visitors go. We do have them
- 10:15Speaker 7: dispersed throughout the country, but when it comes to a
- 10:17Speaker 7: region like ours, the only region north of Auckland, of
- 10:20Speaker 7: course they have to make a very intentional decision to
- 10:23Speaker 7: turn the other direction and add that into their trips.
- 10:25Speaker 7: So for us, we only get around twenty to thirty
- 10:29Speaker 7: percent of our visitation is international.
- 10:32Speaker 9: The rest is domestic. So hence the need to all
- 10:34Speaker 9: work together to.
- 10:36Speaker 7: Make sure that those international visitors are better dispersed throughout
- 10:39Speaker 7: the country, throughout the island, and also to make sure
- 10:43Speaker 7: that we get more because everyone needs a few more visitors.
- 10:46Speaker 2: I was having a beer at the Duke of Marlborough
- 10:48Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago, which I seem to do
- 10:50Speaker 2: a lot these days, and we're speaking to the owner.
- 10:53Speaker 2: He said, actually, he's had one of his best summers
- 10:55Speaker 2: ever because we've had a lot more American tourists and
- 10:58Speaker 2: Americans are more inclined to go up to Northland than say,
- 11:02Speaker 2: you're Chinese visitors.
- 11:05Speaker 9: Yes, yes, he's absolutely correct.
- 11:07Speaker 7: A bear the joke is always a good idea as well,
- 11:09Speaker 7: so we support that and this new collective of organizations
- 11:15Speaker 7: working together will target Australia, America and primarily China. Those
- 11:21Speaker 7: are the first three markets that will target. So yes,
- 11:24Speaker 7: the American visitors are really important visitors. They do come,
- 11:28Speaker 7: they do come to spend as well, and they do
- 11:30Speaker 7: come to see and do so they're.
- 11:31Speaker 9: A really good visitor, especially for Northland.
- 11:34Speaker 7: So this summer we have seen a little bit of
- 11:36Speaker 7: an uptick of international visitors. We're heading back towards you know,
- 11:40Speaker 7: pre twenty twenty numbers and seeing some strengths come through
- 11:44Speaker 7: from America. So that's really good news for us and
- 11:46Speaker 7: we're happy to keep growing that.
- 11:48Speaker 2: So what are you actually going to do to get
- 11:51Speaker 2: them to where you want them to go?
- 11:54Speaker 7: So the idea behind this new MoU that was signed yesterday,
- 11:59Speaker 7: the MoU who is between all North Island regional tourism
- 12:03Speaker 7: organizations so fifteen organizations and supported by Auckland Airport, Wellington
- 12:10Speaker 7: Airport and Hamilton Airport, so our international airports. The idea
- 12:14Speaker 7: is that we have more direct to consumer, more trade
- 12:18Speaker 7: activity happening offshore and in these markets to convince and
- 12:22Speaker 7: to change those booking patterns and to convince people that North.
- 12:26Speaker 9: Island is the place to come.
- 12:27Speaker 7: So it's really about investing ourselves in activity offshore.
- 12:32Speaker 9: We'll go along with Tourism.
- 12:33Speaker 7: New Zealand's events as well, and Tourism New Zealand do
- 12:37Speaker 7: support this collective initiative. So it's about North Island coming
- 12:41Speaker 7: together and going together to market and.
- 12:44Speaker 9: It will just be a stronger proposition with us all
- 12:46Speaker 9: there together.
- 12:47Speaker 2: Interesting, Tanya, appreciate your time this morning, Tanya. Burt Northland
- 12:51Speaker 2: and head of Destination, but part of this group from
- 12:54Speaker 2: the North Island trying to get desperate to get the
- 12:57Speaker 2: tourists to stay here. Nice if they also went to
- 13:01Speaker 2: the South Island, but if they can stay longer in
- 13:03Speaker 2: the North and that's obviously the goal for them. Twenty
- 13:05Speaker 2: three minutes after five, News Talk said, b if you
- 13:06Speaker 2: heard about all these political scandals in the last twenty
- 13:10Speaker 2: four hours, I'll tell you about the next See.
- 13:12Speaker 1: Early edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio Power by News Talks.
- 13:17Speaker 2: AV five twenty five Good Morning News Talk said, be
- 13:21Speaker 2: on the news last night it was nothing but scandal, scandal, scandal.
- 13:27Speaker 2: I don't think I've seen political misconduct of this magnitude
- 13:30Speaker 2: since Watergate, the Woodwood and Burnstein's of our time busy
- 13:34Speaker 2: digging through documents, uncovering truth, protecting democracy from corruption from
- 13:40Speaker 2: evil Ericus Stanford, Ministry of Education and obvious crook. First
- 13:46Speaker 2: in the firing line, her crime printing off work emails
- 13:49Speaker 2: at home disgraceful, Absolutely disgraceful. A two part report from
- 13:54Speaker 2: One News letting the bulletin over consecutive nights, details how
- 13:57Speaker 2: this menace flagrant in her disregard for best practice, printed
- 14:03Speaker 2: papers from her home computer after emailing them to her
- 14:06Speaker 2: own private email address. Why I hear you ask such
- 14:10Speaker 2: an egregious act, Well, it turns out, and this is
- 14:14Speaker 2: where the story gets really interesting. Parliamentary I hadn't hooked
- 14:18Speaker 2: up a printer in her office or her home, so
- 14:21Speaker 2: instead of ignoring her immense workload, switching off the computer
- 14:24Speaker 2: and going to the pub like any decent politician, she
- 14:27Speaker 2: emailed them to herself, printed them off, and worked late
- 14:31Speaker 2: into the night. Outrageous are the documents other emails exclusively uncovered,
- 14:38Speaker 2: the existence of which made possible because the minister flagged
- 14:41Speaker 2: them with officials for inclusion in future OAA requests like
- 14:44Speaker 2: the one we're now looking at. So brazen and flatting
- 14:48Speaker 2: the rules, she thought she'd never get caught shameless, just shameless.
- 14:54Speaker 2: One reporter noted Stanford was quote safe for now. It's
- 14:58Speaker 2: at least on par with them. The heg Seth signal
- 15:01Speaker 2: chat scandal Kitty Allen drunk driving then crashing a ministerial
- 15:05Speaker 2: car before resisting arrest pails into comparison. But how much
- 15:11Speaker 2: worse can this scandal get for Stanford? We must wait
- 15:14Speaker 2: for part two this evening, of course. The next minister
- 15:17Speaker 2: in the firing line was Matt Doocey mental health and
- 15:20Speaker 2: this story is crazy. He should be locked up like
- 15:24Speaker 2: crooked Hillary. His crime worse than lying. The newsreader told
- 15:28Speaker 2: us the accusation was wait for it, massaging the message.
- 15:34Speaker 2: Massaging the message. It's a new charge, but thought to
- 15:37Speaker 2: be very, very, very serious. Some pages detailing a workforce
- 15:41Speaker 2: shortage were removed from a glossy ministerial booklet that went
- 15:45Speaker 2: out to the public. There was one small problem with
- 15:48Speaker 2: this future Pulleit Serprize winner. The problem, as cameras beared
- 15:53Speaker 2: down as his crimes were read aloud, was Doocey had
- 15:57Speaker 2: no idea. What the reporter was talking about was old
- 16:00Speaker 2: mate Lester Levy. It was Levy's fingerprints over this one
- 16:04Speaker 2: not Deucey's. But he's already on the way out, So
- 16:07Speaker 2: where's the fun in getting him on camera shackling him
- 16:09Speaker 2: to the pillory for a flogging? So it was Doocey
- 16:12Speaker 2: in the dock last night. The best part about this
- 16:15Speaker 2: expose it came with its very own deep throat yes
- 16:20Speaker 2: and insider whose secret cash of draft documents blew the
- 16:25Speaker 2: story wide open. That person ingrid Leary from the Labor
- 16:29Speaker 2: party case closed. It's a knockout, it's a slam dunk.
- 16:35Speaker 2: Both ministers must be sacked immediately. I welcome this kind
- 16:39Speaker 2: of examination because people have got to know whether or
- 16:42Speaker 2: not they're President's a crook.
- 16:44Speaker 9: Well, I'm not a crook.
- 16:46Speaker 2: I've earned everything I've got, Ryan Bridge, minutes after five
- 16:50Speaker 2: year new Storks V. Great to have your company. After news,
- 16:54Speaker 2: we'll get to our reporters right around the country and
- 16:56Speaker 2: Donna de Mayo is across the Tasman.

- 17:58Speaker 2: We will talk to Donald Demor out of Australia. Now
- 18:01Speaker 2: all Af Schultz outgoing Chancellor of Germany. He's from the
- 18:05Speaker 2: Social Democrat. He's one of the lefties, basically lefty leaving office.
- 18:09Speaker 2: Now going back to the sixteenth century Chancellor's pecker song, well,
- 18:14Speaker 2: three songs actually that they would like to leave office
- 18:16Speaker 2: to a farewell ceremony is held. One of the songs
- 18:20Speaker 2: he's decided to go with, bizarrely and inexplicably to the
- 18:25Speaker 2: German population is Aretha Franklin's respect all of it, where
- 18:37Speaker 2: no one really knows why. That's the other thing. And
- 18:40Speaker 2: he was there for such a short period of time,
- 18:42Speaker 2: especially following Angelo and Merthle, so I mean clearly that
- 18:46Speaker 2: he didn't have a lot of respect from the German people,
- 18:48Speaker 2: did he? Because Meers is on his way in twenty
- 18:50Speaker 2: three away from six brand just get two reporters around
- 18:55Speaker 2: the country, columns in duned and certain rescue teams continuing

- 19:05Speaker 12: out in the miight at peak area and have failed
- 19:07Speaker 12: to return home on Sunday nights. A few other details
- 19:12Speaker 12: are available other than that, but search of its began
- 19:14Speaker 12: yesterday morning, including the use of a helicopter, and there
- 19:18Speaker 12: has been no updates since then. Whether in Milford Sound
- 19:21Speaker 12: overnight was relatively mild, temperatures getting down to seven there
- 19:25Speaker 12: are showers forecast in the area later today.
- 19:28Speaker 2: And what about Dunedin's weather generally generally good today fine
- 19:32Speaker 2: light wins and sixteen for us brilliant Colm, thank you
- 19:34Speaker 2: Closchew and christ your clear good morning.
- 19:36Speaker 4: Good morning.
- 19:37Speaker 2: Now classical music. I didn't realize they played this at your.
- 19:39Speaker 13: Bus stop at the bus interchange in the city, Ryan,
- 19:43Speaker 13: that's right. This trial of classical music playing through that
- 19:46Speaker 13: interchange began in February and to the council have now
- 19:50Speaker 13: decided they'll extend that through until the end of the year.
- 19:53Speaker 2: The idea is.
- 19:53Speaker 13: They play these symphonies and some operas as well, and
- 19:57Speaker 13: it's to discourage people, particularly young people and antisocial people
- 20:02Speaker 13: from lingering outside the building in the city.
- 20:05Speaker 1: So it seems to work.
- 20:06Speaker 13: Facilities Operation Manager Brendan Cowe says, although it's too early
- 20:10Speaker 13: to specifically identify a trend, the feedback does indicate that
- 20:14Speaker 13: it is reducing the anti social behavior. So this is
- 20:17Speaker 13: one of several initiatives and for now it will continue interesting.
- 20:21Speaker 2: The art is the Tonic clear House.
- 20:23Speaker 13: Your weather mainly found a bit of frost about early today.
- 20:26Speaker 13: Northeasternly is developing later and a higher fifteen.
- 20:29Speaker 2: Excellent max is and Wellington Max good morning, Good morning.
- 20:32Speaker 2: Now Victoria law students told to put their laptops away
- 20:36Speaker 2: for exams.
- 20:38Speaker 14: Yeah, a good story in the post this morning. Victoria
- 20:40Speaker 14: University essentially conceding here they haven't yet figured out an
- 20:45Speaker 14: answer to protect against AIAI cheats, chat, GPT etc. Too
- 20:50Speaker 14: great risk apparently with law students using laptops in exams,
- 20:54Speaker 14: So three hundred level students having to go back to
- 20:57Speaker 14: handwritten papers a lot of who I'm not happy about this.
- 21:02Speaker 14: They haven't written an exam for one thing in five
- 21:04Speaker 14: six seven years since high school. An Auckland law lecturer
- 21:09Speaker 14: has weighed in. He advocates laptops at Auckland University's law school.
- 21:13Speaker 14: He says, pretty much because the whole course is done
- 21:15Speaker 14: on my laptop. It only seems fair to run exams
- 21:18Speaker 14: that way, not the way Victoria sees it.
- 21:21Speaker 2: Interesting. How do they make sure that no one's cheating?
- 21:24Speaker 14: Just well, I mean that's the point. In terms of
- 21:28Speaker 14: using laptops, they can't. They say there's no safeguard against
- 21:32Speaker 14: AI tools basically right. Oh yeah, you'd think take them off,
- 21:37Speaker 14: whereas you can just keep an eye on someone with
- 21:38Speaker 14: a pen and paper.
- 21:40Speaker 2: Yeah, no, exactly, old school Max.
- 21:42Speaker 14: How's your weathery? Cloudy periods, a little bit of drizzle
- 21:45Speaker 14: this athurnoon sixteen, the high Central.
- 21:47Speaker 2: You have a great day, Neavas and Auckland the a
- 21:49Speaker 2: good morning.
- 21:49Speaker 15: Greetings.
- 21:50Speaker 2: Now a new recycling initiative underweight turning old bumpers into fencing.
- 21:54Speaker 15: It's it so look the Motor Trade Association's Plastic to
- 21:58Speaker 15: Echo program will see vehicle waste collected from participating collision
- 22:03Speaker 15: repairers then repurpose. This is by way recycling business which
- 22:08Speaker 15: is called future post so MTA sector manager, that's Larry Fallowfield.
- 22:14Speaker 15: He says they've got five collection cages already in use.
- 22:17Speaker 15: They've got twenty four more coming this week because they're
- 22:20Speaker 15: obviously going to be massive. Forty Auckland businesses are expected
- 22:24Speaker 15: to take part and the scheme stretching down hopefully to
- 22:27Speaker 15: the South Island by next year.
- 22:29Speaker 2: So bumpers like car bumpers.
- 22:31Speaker 15: Yeah, car bumpers and another plastic waste. So they'll be
- 22:35Speaker 15: you know, like collected from these specially designed cages and
- 22:40Speaker 15: then they're going to be repurposed as fence products.
- 22:42Speaker 2: That's cool, It's very cool. I noticed actually on my
- 22:45Speaker 2: car yesterday that the front trying to describe a car,
- 22:50Speaker 2: it's not it's not the bumper. I'm terrible. Let's go
- 22:54Speaker 2: around further to the wheel, the front right wheel above
- 22:57Speaker 2: above that.
- 22:58Speaker 15: Hey, we need to talk to Mike. We do, Mike, Okay,
- 23:00Speaker 15: I'm picturing it, yestre.
- 23:02Speaker 2: Above the wheel, that's right wheel. There's a there's a
- 23:05Speaker 2: big scrape on there. What And I got my car
- 23:08Speaker 2: cleaned a couple of days ago, so it's happened within
- 23:10Speaker 2: the last couple of days. Really, Yeah. And what I
- 23:13Speaker 2: want to know is whether, because of the angle of it,
- 23:16Speaker 2: it looks like something I've done, right. I just want
- 23:19Speaker 2: someone to come and tell me whether that's me or
- 23:22Speaker 2: whether that's someone else who's parked next.
- 23:24Speaker 15: Isn't it is it? Is it a big scrape?
- 23:26Speaker 2: Or is it not really? I spat on it and
- 23:30Speaker 2: made it worse and sort of scrubbed it up.
- 23:32Speaker 15: You know what, though, you should double check to make
- 23:35Speaker 15: sure that it wasn't someone at the INSI and me
- 23:39Speaker 15: inside the basement in the garage, and it was. It
- 23:41Speaker 15: wasn't someone like Mike Oskin who parked next to you.
- 23:44Speaker 2: Jenny, Genny was Jenny. She is terrible whether hell, I.
- 23:50Speaker 4: Just thought too.
- 23:51Speaker 15: She's getting she's having an operation done on her eyes as.
- 23:54Speaker 6: Well this week.
- 23:56Speaker 2: True story.
- 23:57Speaker 6: There you go, there we go.
- 23:58Speaker 2: Well, I'll just send it the bell, go on, do it.
- 24:01Speaker 15: Fine, light wins nineteen's high today, she's.
- 24:05Speaker 2: Going life seventeen away from six News talks. They'd be
- 24:12Speaker 2: we'll get to Donald tomorrow.
- 24:13Speaker 1: Next international correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of
- 24:18Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business quarter.
- 24:20Speaker 2: To six on news talks. They'd be, we'll get to
- 24:22Speaker 2: Indian New Zealand Business Council will cheer in just a
- 24:25Speaker 2: second that FTA talks kicking off this week in New Delhi.
- 24:28Speaker 2: Right now, Donald tomorrow out of Australia, Donna, good morning,
- 24:31Speaker 2: good morning to you. Now Elbow's got a real spring.
- 24:34Speaker 2: This step obviously back in Canberra and had a chat
- 24:37Speaker 2: with Trump. How'd that go?
- 24:39Speaker 11: Yes, he's confirmed he had a warm and positive convers
- 24:42Speaker 11: with the US president. Now we know about the weekend's
- 24:45Speaker 11: crushing election win for labor and he's had congratulatory calls
- 24:49Speaker 11: from Quam by the way, and he had this chat
- 24:55Speaker 11: with Trump, and he said they talked about UCAS, and
- 24:58Speaker 11: they talked about tariffs, and he said, will continue to
- 25:01Speaker 11: engage with each other and perhaps even engage each other
- 25:05Speaker 11: with each other on a face to face basis at
- 25:07Speaker 11: some time in the future. Now we're thinking that's probably
- 25:09Speaker 11: going to be at the G seven in Canada in June.
- 25:12Speaker 11: So Albo said it was a very warm chat and
- 25:14Speaker 11: he thanked him for reaching out in such a positive way.
- 25:16Speaker 11: What we did think was very interesting was earlier Trump
- 25:20Speaker 11: had praised his relationship with Albanize. He had a chat
- 25:22Speaker 11: with the Sydney Morning Herald and he said, I don't
- 25:26Speaker 11: know anything about the election other than the man that won,
- 25:29Speaker 11: and that he's very good. But he also and I quote,
- 25:33Speaker 11: I have no idea who the other person is that
- 25:36Speaker 11: ran against him. Everyone was wildly amusing, and that is
- 25:41Speaker 11: Peter Dutton, who sadly as we know lost his Brisbane
- 25:45Speaker 11: seat of Dixon sadly for him, of course, after that
- 25:48Speaker 11: stunning election win and he was defeated by a woman
- 25:51Speaker 11: called Ali France, the first person in Australi in history
- 25:54Speaker 11: to ouston opposition leader from their own seat.
- 25:58Speaker 2: Now the mushroom murder trial, everyone's watch the course. So
- 26:00Speaker 2: we're going to hear from these strange husband and some
- 26:02Speaker 2: online friends.
- 26:04Speaker 11: Yes, so we know that Aaron Patterson is charged with
- 26:07Speaker 11: killing three people by serving them a meal containing poisonous mushroom.
- 26:12Speaker 11: Her defense lawyer says the deaths were a tragic accident,
- 26:15Speaker 11: but the ups and downs of Aaron and her estranged husband,
- 26:20Speaker 11: should say, have come under examination in court. It's the
- 26:24Speaker 11: second week of the trial and the court is also
- 26:28Speaker 11: heard from Facebook friends, this true crime group group that
- 26:32Speaker 11: said that she seemed to really like mushrooms, her friends
- 26:36Speaker 11: have said to the court, and that she shared pictures
- 26:38Speaker 11: of a food dehydrate this deadly lunch that she hosted
- 26:42Speaker 11: at her home way back in July twenty twenty three.
- 26:46Speaker 1: Also her.
- 26:49Speaker 11: That her husband was controlling, that she was in a
- 26:53Speaker 11: controlling marriage and worsip that's what she confided.
- 26:58Speaker 2: To leave it there, I think the line's a bit
- 27:01Speaker 2: bad on and tomorrow. Our Australia correspondent with us this morning.
- 27:04Speaker 2: That trial continues sixth day today it is twelve away
- 27:07Speaker 2: from six Brian Bridge. Good news for New Zealand trade, well,
- 27:11Speaker 2: potentially good news for New Zealand trade. We've got a
- 27:13Speaker 2: government delegation landing in New Delhi this week for the
- 27:16Speaker 2: first round of talks towards an FTA. They're a market
- 27:19Speaker 2: of one point four billion people. I don't need to
- 27:21Speaker 2: tell you that. Notoriously tough on ft as they are though.
- 27:25Speaker 2: Barrett's Charla is with us. He's India NZ Business Council chair.
- 27:29Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, How are you very well? Thank you? Now,
- 27:34Speaker 2: how are these talks going to work? Because there's a
- 27:36Speaker 2: framework which Australia used, which we're apparently going to piggyback
- 27:40Speaker 2: off the back off, Is that right?
- 27:42Speaker 16: I think, yeah, this is what It'll make it easier
- 27:45Speaker 16: also because in the framework of dealing with Australia or
- 27:48Speaker 16: Hia region, which makes easier for New Zealand to follow
- 27:51Speaker 16: or I think Indian would follow that if.
- 27:53Speaker 2: I'm not wrong. We want a better deal than the
- 27:56Speaker 2: Aussie though, don't.
- 27:57Speaker 16: We Yeah, we want a better deal than ASSI. The
- 27:59Speaker 16: simple as a right, what.
- 28:01Speaker 2: Are we going to do to get at what are
- 28:02Speaker 2: the big what are the big prizes we've got because
- 28:06Speaker 2: obviously we want dairy right which is which is well,
- 28:09Speaker 2: what are the big prizes that they want from us?
- 28:12Speaker 16: I didn't go in their wants detached in their once
- 28:15Speaker 16: primary industry including ki fruit and which I said, the
- 28:19Speaker 16: dairy provides a lot of support. Also it's in terms
- 28:22Speaker 16: of the infessional sealums and not and at at the
- 28:25Speaker 16: same time, yes, must looking for more of the people
- 28:29Speaker 16: to invest in India.
- 28:30Speaker 2: Also, what about because I saw the CEO of Sadima
- 28:33Speaker 2: Hotels the other day talking about visas you know visas
- 28:36Speaker 2: for Indian workers but now being processed in New Zealand
- 28:40Speaker 2: because of worries about scams and India slowing things down
- 28:43Speaker 2: making it harder. Would that be a little fruit we
- 28:47Speaker 2: could dangle.
- 28:48Speaker 16: I totally agree Ran. If you see when we went
- 28:51Speaker 16: to India we have immigration and education are CEOs or
- 28:56Speaker 16: a kind of high officials. It does. So we are
- 28:59Speaker 16: expecting ah, with this FDA, the people movement would become easier,
- 29:03Speaker 16: and that is what Indian government always wants. With any FDA,
- 29:06Speaker 16: they do and if you see if New Zealand also
- 29:11Speaker 16: they want resus to be seen line to make sure
- 29:13Speaker 16: that the numbers increase. Multifolds committed a much better deal.
- 29:18Speaker 2: Yeah, good stuff, Barrat Charl. I really appreciate your time
- 29:21Speaker 2: this morning, India New Zealand Business Council Chair. That delegation
- 29:24Speaker 2: from New Zealand off to New Delhi this week, which
- 29:28Speaker 2: has got to be a good thing. Nine minutes away
- 29:30Speaker 2: from Sexier on news Talks thereb and she just before
- 29:33Speaker 2: you get there. Despite all the Trump tariff, the greasy
- 29:37Speaker 2: wheels of free trade keep turning. So, despite the tariffs,
- 29:40Speaker 2: despite the talk about the movies this morning, look no
- 29:43Speaker 2: further than these numbers on our EU deal we signed
- 29:47Speaker 2: it a year ago. In that time, exports to the
- 29:50Speaker 2: EU from New Zealand up twenty eight percent. That's from
- 29:53Speaker 2: three point eight billion dollars to more than four point
- 29:56Speaker 2: eight billion dollars. This is good for our sheep farmers,
- 30:00Speaker 2: it is good for our Kiwi fruit growers, it's good
- 30:03Speaker 2: for all of us. News Talk Shad Bee.
- 30:06Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the day early
- 30:09Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and One Room to make your
- 30:12Speaker 1: property search simple.
- 30:14Speaker 2: News Talk Zibb seven away from six News talk s
- 30:17Speaker 2: head Bee. It's all kicking off in the Middle East again.
- 30:19Speaker 2: This is in Gaza, net and Yah who says this
- 30:22Speaker 2: time will be different. He says it will be intensive,
- 30:25Speaker 2: but it will be different. The reason is instead of
- 30:28Speaker 2: the soldiers, the Israeli soldiers going into Gaza, launching raids
- 30:33Speaker 2: and then retreating back to Israel, he says, the intention
- 30:36Speaker 2: is the opposite. Instead, we're just going to move the
- 30:39Speaker 2: entire populations of areas and go in there once they're gone,
- 30:44Speaker 2: and then come out totally. That'll make it safer. Mike
- 30:49Speaker 2: is here with us next. Mike, good morning. Well, what
- 30:51Speaker 2: happened with the River Era? Well, that's a good point.
- 30:54Speaker 4: Weren't they going to leave anyway? They'd want to leave
- 30:56Speaker 4: to go to other lovely places, and once they got
- 30:59Speaker 4: to the lovely place, then they were going to build
- 31:00Speaker 4: the River Era and then they were going to be
- 31:02Speaker 4: able to live there happily. Ever after, what happened to that?
- 31:04Speaker 2: Right, Well, I think that will exist in the same
- 31:06Speaker 2: world where Trump is pope.
- 31:08Speaker 4: It's a very good headline this morning. Trump needs to
- 31:11Speaker 4: deal in desperately because all of his promises, none of
- 31:14Speaker 4: them I'm just watching him talking about the movies. He's
- 31:16Speaker 4: correct to say, we'll be talking about the movie industry here,
- 31:20Speaker 4: because funnily enough, John Key's on the program this morning.
- 31:23Speaker 4: Do you remember John Key did the original deal, He
- 31:26Speaker 4: did the Lord of the Rings deal. And I always
- 31:28Speaker 4: remember Jackson and co. Turned up in government limousines to
- 31:31Speaker 4: Premier House in Wellington and that was the whole. And
- 31:34Speaker 4: I always had this back and forward with Stephen Joyce,
- 31:37Speaker 4: because you open up an industry and you go and
- 31:39Speaker 4: they go, oh, but look at Ireland, look at India.
- 31:41Speaker 4: You know we've got to compete. We've got to give
- 31:43Speaker 4: tatis protectionism. It's a protectionism, It's exactly what it is.
- 31:46Speaker 4: And I said, well, if you open up at twenty percent,
- 31:48Speaker 4: then when they go to twenty five percent, you matched
- 31:50Speaker 4: them at twenty eight. Where's the race to the bottom?
- 31:52Speaker 2: More disappoint Trump has a point that Hollywood has been
- 31:56Speaker 2: hollowed out, and I've gone to Mirrorma exactly right.
- 31:59Speaker 4: That's where that's the fascination with Trump because every now
- 32:04Speaker 4: and again, and this is an example, he's right. And
- 32:08Speaker 4: as for.
- 32:08Speaker 2: Alcatra, have you been to Elka? Now? I haven't. I
- 32:11Speaker 2: wish i'd been before the prisoners.
- 32:13Speaker 4: This is the thing I'm I'm I hate being a tourist.
- 32:16Speaker 4: I'm not a tourist. But there's two things in the
- 32:19Speaker 4: world I've been to that.
- 32:19Speaker 2: I thought, Now, do you get dressed up nicely? If
- 32:22Speaker 2: you are a tourist, would you go to Alcatraz looking nicely?
- 32:26Speaker 2: Of course?
- 32:27Speaker 17: Well, of course, Well what sort of questions that you
- 32:31Speaker 17: couldn't just say, I'm just trying to picture you as
- 32:33Speaker 17: a it's cold on the fairy so you need an
- 32:36Speaker 17: you need a nice cashmere scarp.
- 32:38Speaker 4: Anyway, there are two things I've seen as a tourist.
- 32:40Speaker 4: One that was worth going to. One was the Vatican
- 32:42Speaker 4: because that's that blows your mind. And the other one
- 32:44Speaker 4: was was Alcatraz. And I thought, alcatrav what a waste
- 32:48Speaker 4: of my time because you've got a cue.
- 32:49Speaker 2: Both prisons and their own right.
- 32:51Speaker 4: Yeah, but well in a funny way, but the Alcatraz
- 32:53Speaker 4: experience is absolutely fantastic. And no they don't. But it's
- 32:58Speaker 4: so sophisticated, knowlogically, it's like being there. It's incredible. It's
- 33:02Speaker 4: well worth doing, which is a shame because if he
- 33:04Speaker 4: turns it into a real prison again, that experience is
- 33:07Speaker 4: all over. It's gone. I'll never see it in my
- 33:09Speaker 4: day's main So when you I got around to working
- 33:11Speaker 4: in John Key, who's on the program.
- 33:13Speaker 2: Yeah, that's pretty good.
- 33:14Speaker 4: Erica Stamford's coming on directly after seven to resigned because
- 33:17Speaker 4: of the.
- 33:20Speaker 2: Tears. It's outrageous, all right, Mike's next. Have a great
- 33:23Speaker 2: day everyone, cinamonon.
