- 1:16Speaker 2: Adolescens the big winner at the Emmy's yesterday, taking home
- 1:19Speaker 2: for major awards. This is the British show. It's on Netflix.
- 1:22Speaker 2: It's the Young Boy who murders a schoolmate. It's all
- 1:24Speaker 2: filmed in a continuous take, which must be an absolute
- 1:27Speaker 2: nightmare for the directors. Star Owen Cooper becoming the youngest
- 1:31Speaker 2: male actor to ever win at an an Emmy at
- 1:34Speaker 2: age fifteen. Jami goes to Owen Cooper, Well.
- 1:41Speaker 5: It was just so surreal own. Honestly, when I started
- 1:44Speaker 5: these drama classes a couple of years back, I didn't
- 1:46Speaker 5: expect to be even in the United States, never mind here.
- 1:49Speaker 5: Well I was nothing about three years ago. I'm here
- 1:53Speaker 5: And also.
- 1:54Speaker 1: Views and Views you trust to start your day. It's
- 1:58Speaker 1: early edition with Brian and One Room Love, where you Live,
- 2:03Speaker 1: News talks.
- 2:03Speaker 2: That'd beat to have your company. Just gone eight minutes
- 2:05Speaker 2: after five nine to ninety two the number to text Halling.
- 2:08Speaker 2: Clark's put out a statement on Eden Park. Are we
- 2:11Speaker 2: surprised to hear she's a neighbor? Of course, I'll just
- 2:14Speaker 2: read you the first line A key point is that
- 2:16Speaker 2: Eden Park is not even close to maximizing the use
- 2:20Speaker 2: of its current under its current restrictions. So the agreement
- 2:24Speaker 2: that they've got in place at the moment, it's pretty restrictive.
- 2:27Speaker 2: You can only have twelve concerts a year, so six
- 2:30Speaker 2: artists and twelve concerts a year maximum. They've got a
- 2:34Speaker 2: curfew for weeknight events, all that kind of stuff. She
- 2:37Speaker 2: says that if they're not even maxing what they've got,
- 2:39Speaker 2: then why do you need to give them more? I
- 2:42Speaker 2: suppose it's because if you had fewer restrictions, you might
- 2:46Speaker 2: get different events and different artists attracted here that you
- 2:50Speaker 2: otherwise wouldn't get. People have been asking in the last
- 2:53Speaker 2: twenty well twelve hours, why is the government doing? Sounds
- 2:57Speaker 2: silly to just we're going to do consultation on this, Like,
- 3:00Speaker 2: you know, we've made up our minds pretty much. We
- 3:02Speaker 2: think we need to lift these restrictions or lift some
- 3:05Speaker 2: of them. Why are they doing consultation? Like, just get
- 3:08Speaker 2: on with it. People are sick of waiting around. You know,
- 3:11Speaker 2: you've been saying you're going to this is an announcement
- 3:13Speaker 2: about consultation that you hope to then become an announcement.
- 3:17Speaker 2: It's not even an announcement about an announcement. That would
- 3:20Speaker 2: be better would be, you know, just scratching them scraping
- 3:22Speaker 2: the barrel here. Anyway, I had a look last night
- 3:26Speaker 2: at the RMA. So the government passed an amendment to
- 3:28Speaker 2: the RMA this year, and this is a targeted tool,
- 3:33Speaker 2: so the government can overrule local regulations. They can walk
- 3:38Speaker 2: in like a czar and say this is happening. Come hello,
- 3:42Speaker 2: high water and Helen Clark. You can just put some
- 3:45Speaker 2: little air plugs in and get to sleep. Now, in
- 3:48Speaker 2: the legislation they have baked into this legislation the fact
- 3:51Speaker 2: that you need to do consultation. So a couple of things.
- 3:55Speaker 2: It's really targeted, and it's it's for if anything that
- 4:00Speaker 2: would promote economic growth or development capacity they call it,
- 4:04Speaker 2: or employment. Under those provisions, the government can step in.
- 4:09Speaker 2: So that's why. And in order to make that happen,
- 4:12Speaker 2: it says in the legislation you must consult, so that
- 4:16Speaker 2: is why they're doing the consultation.
- 4:17Speaker 5: Now.
- 4:17Speaker 2: The question then becomes, this is the same government that
- 4:20Speaker 2: pass the law, so they've forced themselves to do consultation.
- 4:25Speaker 2: So should they have done that? Why did they do that.
- 4:27Speaker 2: That's a question for the government today. I reckon anyway,
- 4:31Speaker 2: we'll talk about that just before six o'clock this morning.
- 4:34Speaker 2: Bad news for the services sector. Remember, services sector makes
- 4:37Speaker 2: up seventy percent of our economy, so it's important. The
- 4:40Speaker 2: PSI is going backwards again. Services sector August number is
- 4:45Speaker 2: forty seven point five. Remember, you've got to get above
- 4:47Speaker 2: fifty to be positive. We're down one point four points
- 4:50Speaker 2: on July. Been going wrong, way, been going south eighteen
- 4:53Speaker 2: months on the trot Now the average long term is
- 4:56Speaker 2: fifty two point nine. Why inflation, interest costs, weaker consumer confidence.
- 5:03Speaker 2: B n Z says, Yeah, there are good signs that
- 5:05Speaker 2: the economy might be turning in a corner. We might
- 5:07Speaker 2: be coming around, but the bounce back could take longer
- 5:11Speaker 2: than expected. You're on news Talk, said, be on your
- 5:14Speaker 2: Tuesday morning. We'll get to Gisbon on the slash next.
- 5:18Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth
- 5:21Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and one Root Love.
- 5:25Speaker 2: Where you left News Talks, that'd be it's the same
- 5:28Speaker 2: minutes after five Starma in trouble, more trouble. He's had Rainer,
- 5:32Speaker 2: the sacking of his number two heat Well. She had
- 5:35Speaker 2: left basically because she didn't declare she should have paid
- 5:38Speaker 2: some duties on houses that she didn't decleaar properly. And
- 5:42Speaker 2: she's the Housing Minister anyway. And then there was Lord Mandelsson.
- 5:46Speaker 2: And now there's a scandal involving some old messages to
- 5:49Speaker 2: do with the staffer of his. It's all about a
- 5:52Speaker 2: game that they have called shag Mary Kill. I'll tell
- 5:54Speaker 2: you about that shortly. Right now, Gisbon Council's forestry rules
- 5:58Speaker 2: have company directors warning they could go bankrupt. The Environment
- 6:01Speaker 2: courts ordered Samnik Forest Management and Woodlet Investments the land
- 6:06Speaker 2: owner to clean up slash near Tolliger Bay. It's messy.
- 6:09Speaker 2: There's an appeal before the High Court and a scrap
- 6:11Speaker 2: over who should fit the bill. Julian conn Is, the
- 6:14Speaker 2: Eastland Wood Council chairman, with me this morning. Julian, Good morning,
- 6:18Speaker 2: good morning, a good thank you, Julian. Is it possible
- 6:21Speaker 2: to clean up all the slash and stop it leaving
- 6:25Speaker 2: the land.
- 6:27Speaker 6: In practical reasons, No, it's not. We live in a
- 6:31Speaker 6: woody environment.
- 6:32Speaker 2: In our region.
- 6:33Speaker 6: Of course, anybody who lives here will appreciate that. Whenever
- 6:37Speaker 6: it rains we have stilts coming out of our streams
- 6:40Speaker 6: and our rivers as a matter of course and always
- 6:43Speaker 6: have had, and that's how the Poverty Bay flats were created.
- 6:46Speaker 6: So from an operational point of view, the industry's views
- 6:51Speaker 6: that while we are managing movement of woody debris and
- 6:56Speaker 6: set them in out of our forests, the constraint that
- 7:00Speaker 6: the Council is currently imposing on our standard consent conditions
- 7:05Speaker 6: for harvesting and roading mean that they are wanting us
- 7:10Speaker 6: to stop one hundred percent of Sultan woody debris coming
- 7:14Speaker 6: out of their forest gates, which of course is totally
- 7:17Speaker 6: impractical and operationally impossible.
- 7:20Speaker 2: It would make operating the impossible.
- 7:24Speaker 6: Pretty much. Yep.
- 7:26Speaker 2: So what do you do?
- 7:28Speaker 6: Well, We're currently in negotiation have been for a couple
- 7:33Speaker 6: of years around trying to get some practicality and reality
- 7:39Speaker 6: around some of those standard consent conditions. We have been
- 7:43Speaker 6: talking to them for two years trying to get them
- 7:46Speaker 6: to understand that what the industry's trying to find is
- 7:50Speaker 6: an environmental and the social and an economic balance in
- 7:54Speaker 6: respect of what we do and in our organizations. But
- 7:59Speaker 6: we haven't made a lot of progress to dates.
- 8:01Speaker 2: To be honest, at the moment, this order from the
- 8:03Speaker 2: Environment Court requires the companies and directors to ensure woody
- 8:07Speaker 2: debris sediment would not enter water and land outside of
- 8:10Speaker 2: the forest boundary. Does that mean that you would be
- 8:12Speaker 2: operating in breach of that?
- 8:16Speaker 6: If you had a resource consense which stated that, then
- 8:22Speaker 6: yes you would be.
- 8:23Speaker 2: Are there companies now in breach of it?
- 8:29Speaker 6: There are companies which have resource consents which are set
- 8:34Speaker 6: under older rules and regulations and if they were to
- 8:41Speaker 6: emit woody debrand sediment outside their forests then they would
- 8:45Speaker 6: be in breach of it. Yes.
- 8:48Speaker 2: Interesting. Jillian, appreciate your time this morning. Thanks so much
- 8:51Speaker 2: for being with me. Jillian conn who's the Eastland would
- 8:53Speaker 2: Council chairman. Time is seventeen minutes after five on news
- 8:56Speaker 2: Talk said B We'll get to Todd McLay who's been
- 8:58Speaker 2: helping sign deals in Saudi Arabia overnight. He's with us live.
- 9:02Speaker 1: Next the first word on the News of the Day
- 9:05Speaker 1: early edition with Ryan Bridge and one roofe love where
- 9:10Speaker 1: you live, News.
- 9:11Speaker 2: Talk said B. Five nineteen on news Talk said be
- 9:13Speaker 2: farmer confidence going through the roof This is the new
- 9:16Speaker 2: Rabobanks survey and it is the second highest level in
- 9:20Speaker 2: a decade. Higher prices of course, rising demand for commodities.
- 9:23Speaker 2: Dairy farmers have the strongest investment intent, horticulturalists the weakest,
- 9:28Speaker 2: joining us as Todd maclay, the Trade Minister, good morning.
- 9:32Speaker 7: Ray, good morning.
- 9:32Speaker 2: Yeah, good news all round. Prices are good for now,
- 9:36Speaker 2: so things are looking up.
- 9:38Speaker 7: Yeah, there's good news. A lot of farmers have been
- 9:40Speaker 7: doing it a bit tough for a number of years,
- 9:42Speaker 7: so it's pleasing to see. But I think more importantly
- 9:45Speaker 7: it's very good for the New Zealand economy. We know,
- 9:47Speaker 7: when you know the primary sector is doing well and
- 9:49Speaker 7: prices are up, they start spending money and so we're
- 9:52Speaker 7: starting to see the green roots of growth coming from
- 9:55Speaker 7: rural New Zealand.
- 9:56Speaker 2: You've got this trade delegation underway at the moment signing
- 9:59Speaker 2: five new commercial or partnerships between Saudi's and New Zealand
- 10:03Speaker 2: companies worth one hundred million dollars. Can you tell us
- 10:06Speaker 2: what they're about?
- 10:08Speaker 7: Yeah, look, I'm up here with twenty two or twenty
- 10:11Speaker 7: three New Zealand companies. A range of companies who are
- 10:14Speaker 7: involved in sort of food production and export from some
- 10:17Speaker 7: of the honey companies, A couple of Marie Honey companies
- 10:20Speaker 7: actually you're up here doing pretty well, and then we've
- 10:22Speaker 7: got others who are making films and some on like that.
- 10:25Speaker 7: So this is just an opportunity for us to get
- 10:27Speaker 7: into Saudi, which is a big, big potential for New Zealand.
- 10:30Speaker 7: You remember we included a trade agreement with the GCC
- 10:33Speaker 7: including Saudi last year and so this was just a
- 10:36Speaker 7: chance for them to sign some deals with either partners
- 10:39Speaker 7: have already had that sort of take their trade further,
- 10:42Speaker 7: or new companies they're working with. I think that one
- 10:45Speaker 7: hundred million dollars of the five deal side of day
- 10:48Speaker 7: is only the start of the opportunity up here. It's
- 10:51Speaker 7: just it's an economy that's growing and we with the
- 10:55Speaker 7: private sector, government the privacy have been putting in a
- 10:57Speaker 7: lot of effort and I think it's starting to pay divid.
- 11:00Speaker 2: What do they want with WETA.
- 11:03Speaker 7: Well, so Weather have come up and signed a couple
- 11:05Speaker 7: of agreements with one of the Saudi princesses actually, and
- 11:10Speaker 7: so what that will be about is if you think
- 11:12Speaker 7: about down in New Zealand where it's done exhibitions in
- 11:15Speaker 7: New Zealand, there's a bit of filming and so on.
- 11:17Speaker 7: So as Saudi Arabia is investing heavily in their economy
- 11:21Speaker 7: to open up. They want culture and tourism to be
- 11:24Speaker 7: on show. And some of the suggestions WETA will pay
- 11:27Speaker 7: our ready big part in one telling the story and too,
- 11:30Speaker 7: how you know how to bring visitors in and show
- 11:32Speaker 7: them more than just sand dune's and dunes and nice pictures.
- 11:36Speaker 2: Going to start, I've got three really quick questions for you.
- 11:38Speaker 2: One on the Meathay target review. Have you got any
- 11:40Speaker 2: result to update farmers on this morning?
- 11:43Speaker 7: So working through that. There's a cabinet process we're working
- 11:46Speaker 7: through now, so I'm going to respect my colleagues, but
- 11:48Speaker 7: we're not too far away. I can give every farmer
- 11:51Speaker 7: and every New Zealand and assurance we will be sensible.
- 11:54Speaker 7: We have to meet our obligations and targets or obligations internationally,
- 11:58Speaker 7: but we're not going to close down farm and sends
- 12:00Speaker 7: job and production overseas along the way.
- 12:02Speaker 2: A lot of calls to sanction Israel. By my numbers
- 12:05Speaker 2: our trade their exports to New Zealand, we're only about
- 12:08Speaker 2: zero point three percent to them. Have you done any
- 12:11Speaker 2: work or got any advice on that?
- 12:14Speaker 7: No, I haven't. Out of the Minister our Foreign affairs
- 12:16Speaker 7: or we're talking a lot more about that quite soon.
- 12:18Speaker 2: In the government's position, there's monthly meetings with officials from
- 12:21Speaker 2: the US on updating. Yes, it's fifteen percent the tariff
- 12:25Speaker 2: right now, but we wanted some clarity going forward. Do
- 12:27Speaker 2: you have any for exporters this morning?
- 12:30Speaker 7: So we're still working at that. You know. The interesting
- 12:33Speaker 7: thing is I'm here and elsewhere around the world talking
- 12:36Speaker 7: to others, they too are faithing uncertainty. I think that
- 12:39Speaker 7: at the moment the evidence is suggesting that uncertainty is
- 12:42Speaker 7: causing greater harm than the tariff rate. We are working
- 12:46Speaker 7: through one of the things as if we go back
- 12:48Speaker 7: to a trade deficit EI, the US has a trade
- 12:51Speaker 7: surplus against US, how does that rate come down, and
- 12:54Speaker 7: how do we get at so it won't keep moving.
- 12:56Speaker 7: So look that we're putting every single effort in that
- 12:59Speaker 7: we can. Almost every other country in the world has
- 13:01Speaker 7: the same degree of uncertainty. The very good news, I suppose, though,
- 13:05Speaker 7: as our experts are nimbal and many of them are
- 13:07Speaker 7: choosing to look to other markets. You know, at the
- 13:09Speaker 7: time that we are facing high tariffs in the US,
- 13:13Speaker 7: we sold an extra billion dollars to the EU over
- 13:16Speaker 7: the last year, which is predominantly from the primary sector,
- 13:18Speaker 7: and so there are still lots of opportunities. But the
- 13:21Speaker 7: US for every trading nation, is a confused market at
- 13:24Speaker 7: the moment.
- 13:25Speaker 2: Appreciate your time even though the uncertainty rains. Minister Tod
- 13:29Speaker 2: McLay with US Live this morning. It's twenty three minutes
- 13:31Speaker 2: after five. Ran bridge to the Starma drama. So he's
- 13:36Speaker 2: got Trump visiting, got a few big things on his calendar.
- 13:38Speaker 2: Trump's coming for a state visit by the end of
- 13:40Speaker 2: the month. He'll have well at the end of the month,
- 13:42Speaker 2: he'll have his party conference, which already the pundits are
- 13:45Speaker 2: saying is going to be like a beauty contest for
- 13:47Speaker 2: a potential replacement for him, because he's in so much trouble.
- 13:51Speaker 2: His number two goes over the housing issues. You've got
- 13:54Speaker 2: Lord Mandelsson sacked over the Epstein emails and the emails
- 13:59Speaker 2: of just how close they were in relationship, basically best pals. Anyway,
- 14:03Speaker 2: he's been out defending himself.
- 14:05Speaker 3: I knew of his association with Epstein, but had I
- 14:11Speaker 3: known then what I know now, i'd never appointed him.
- 14:15Speaker 2: Here's the thing that we'll get him though. Later in
- 14:18Speaker 2: this interview, he talks about the fact that he knew
- 14:21Speaker 2: something was fishy because there were media requests in about
- 14:25Speaker 2: Mandelson and the emails before he went into the house
- 14:29Speaker 2: in PMQ's and defended him.
- 14:30Speaker 3: Well, I knew before PMQ's was that there had been
- 14:33Speaker 3: media inquiries. I didn't know the content of the Bloomberg emails,
- 14:38Speaker 3: and I knew that questions had been put to Peter
- 14:41Speaker 3: that he had not yet answered, and he hadn't answered
- 14:45Speaker 3: them by the time it got to PMQ's.
- 14:47Speaker 2: So would you go in and defend the guy stridently
- 14:50Speaker 2: that you knew there was something fishy going on with
- 14:52Speaker 2: That's very smart politics from Starma. Anyway, he's got three
- 14:55Speaker 2: and a half years left in office and it's much harder.
- 14:57Speaker 2: It's not like the Conservatives when we got your nineteen
- 14:59Speaker 2: twenty two committee. It's much harder in labor in the
- 15:02Speaker 2: UK to actually roll a sitting leader. Twenty five minutes
- 15:06Speaker 2: after five News TALKSB, We'll get to the Wines on
- 15:09Speaker 2: TikTok next the.
- 15:10Speaker 1: Early edition full the show podcast on iHeartRadio. How It
- 15:14Speaker 1: by NEWSTALKSB.
- 15:16Speaker 2: News TALKSB twenty seven after five I have had it
- 15:20Speaker 2: with people whinging about the state of this country and
- 15:23Speaker 2: people flying to Australia who then refuse to stop and
- 15:25Speaker 2: ask why we got here and how we get out
- 15:28Speaker 2: of it. Checking up a post on TikTok or waving
- 15:31Speaker 2: a banner at a protest ain't going to cut it. Productivity,
- 15:35Speaker 2: that's how much we get in for what we put
- 15:37Speaker 2: out is crap. It's been getting worsel flatlining for decades now.
- 15:40Speaker 2: Australia's is better over in Australia, wages of thirty percent higher.
- 15:44Speaker 2: We're smaller. We have to be smarter and that means
- 15:48Speaker 2: doing what the banner waivers of the world hate most.
- 15:51Speaker 2: Getting roadblocks, innovation killers, ie government out of the way.
- 15:56Speaker 2: Doing business needs to be as cheap and easy as possible.
- 15:59Speaker 2: Education it needs to be world class and focused on
- 16:02Speaker 2: the right stuff. Let smart people be smart people and
- 16:05Speaker 2: do what they do best. Invent, optimize, invest, grow, thrive.
- 16:10Speaker 2: We did this Postmoldom with agriculture subsidies and deregulate does
- 16:14Speaker 2: subsidies gone and deregulation and now we're the most productive
- 16:18Speaker 2: in the world at it. It's proof there are, of course,
- 16:20Speaker 2: those who reckon the solution to all of our problems.
- 16:22Speaker 2: Is to have a politician sign a piece of paper
- 16:25Speaker 2: and artificially increase the minimum wage or write a blank
- 16:29Speaker 2: check to teachers. As academic results heads south, the question
- 16:33Speaker 2: for them is who's going to pay for it? When
- 16:36Speaker 2: our best and brightest are leaving New Zealand and businesses
- 16:40Speaker 2: are closing, who can afford that? Show me a democracy
- 16:43Speaker 2: that got rich by increasing the size and influence of government,
- 16:47Speaker 2: and I'll give you a million bucks, and not one
- 16:49Speaker 2: of those Scandinavian ones which did it off the back
- 16:52Speaker 2: of massive mineral deposits which we're not allowed to touch. Remember,
- 16:56Speaker 2: we've fallen so far behind. We can't be managing a
- 17:00Speaker 2: one and a half or two percent GDP economy. This
- 17:04Speaker 2: country needs seven percent for at least three years. This
- 17:08Speaker 2: country needs a growth spurt. We've fallen too far behind.
- 17:13Speaker 2: Please don't be fooled by the false prophets waving their
- 17:15Speaker 2: banners and posting their nonsense. They've got no idea what
- 17:19Speaker 2: they're talking about. Ryan Bridge twenty nine, After five news talks,
- 17:22Speaker 2: heb I actually missed out the best bit of the
- 17:24Speaker 2: story about Starma. I'll tell you that after news. We're

- 18:03Speaker 2: even Parks showdown and we'll get to Donnad Demayo in
- 18:05Speaker 2: Australia as well. Hey, congratulations Jordie Beamish. What an awesome achievement.
- 18:09Speaker 2: He gets gold in the three thousand meters steeple chase.
- 18:12Speaker 2: This is in Tokyo. You would have heard it in
- 18:13Speaker 2: sport there with Andrew World Athletic Championships. He was up
- 18:17Speaker 2: against well and kept running in first place throughout. Basically
- 18:20Speaker 2: the whole thing was Alba Kali. This is the Moroccan
- 18:23Speaker 2: He's won the gold at the Olympics twice, so kind
- 18:27Speaker 2: of knows what he's doing. So Beamish is in second
- 18:31Speaker 2: place and then just in the last few strides he
- 18:34Speaker 2: manages to edge ahead of him and wins the race
- 18:38Speaker 2: by zero point zero seven seconds. So congratulations, what drama,
- 18:45Speaker 2: what a race and a brilliant result for New Zealand.
- 18:48Speaker 2: It's probably more.
- 18:50Speaker 8: Like the last decade of what's gone into it as
- 18:53Speaker 8: opposed to the last few months. But it's going to
- 18:56Speaker 8: take a while.
- 18:57Speaker 2: On a second, yeah, bread a lot of work. Good
- 19:00Speaker 2: on them. It is twenty three minutes away from six now.
- 19:03Speaker 2: Calum Proctor is indonedan for us this morning, Culum, good
- 19:06Speaker 2: morning morning.
- 19:07Speaker 6: Right.
- 19:08Speaker 2: This livestock control movement plan in central Otago, what's it
- 19:13Speaker 2: going to do?
- 19:14Speaker 6: Well?
- 19:15Speaker 9: This is going to help protect stock and Otago from
- 19:18Speaker 9: a disease spread by possums bovine TB. These restrictions will
- 19:23Speaker 9: try preventing infected possums from spreading this around the region,
- 19:27Speaker 9: and it'll ensure all cattle and deer here Ryan over
- 19:30Speaker 9: three months are tested against the bacterial disease within sixty
- 19:33Speaker 9: days of being moved. Osprey says TV's historically been a
- 19:38Speaker 9: huge issue in Otago particularly, but they are close to
- 19:42Speaker 9: eradicating it, which is remarkable. They say, at its peak
- 19:45Speaker 9: there were seventeen hundred affected herds and so the fact
- 19:48Speaker 9: the fact that they're down to just sixteen nationally is
- 19:51Speaker 9: a phenomenal achievement.
- 19:53Speaker 2: It certainly is. How's the weather.
- 19:55Speaker 9: It's mainly fine, gusty southwester first up today, turns north
- 19:58Speaker 9: easterly the high sixteenth.
- 20:00Speaker 2: Thank you. Clears in Christ.
- 20:01Speaker 6: Hey Claire, good morning.
- 20:02Speaker 2: So we've got the White Beatas Camp movement for the
- 20:05Speaker 2: White Beatas Camp at the North Canterbury River.
- 20:08Speaker 10: Yeah, they've been moved on from the Wymarcarretti River.
- 20:10Speaker 9: Ryan.
- 20:10Speaker 10: This is after the district Council acted on its by
- 20:13Speaker 10: law to remove the camping setups. This was because, of course,
- 20:17Speaker 10: the community had concerns, asking both council and police to
- 20:20Speaker 10: step in. Photos of the riverbank were sent into our
- 20:23Speaker 10: news room. There were campers, vans, as well as tents
- 20:27Speaker 10: and sort of makeshift wooden shelters where they appeared to
- 20:30Speaker 10: be staying overnight. Now, as part of Council's education before
- 20:34Speaker 10: enforcement approach, Wymarcarretti District Council staff visited the site and
- 20:38Speaker 10: asked those there to move on. The Mayor, Dan Gordon
- 20:41Speaker 10: says they did so peacefully, but the council will involve
- 20:44Speaker 10: police if they have to. He says, they'll continue to
- 20:47Speaker 10: work with those who have been causing these issues. They
- 20:49Speaker 10: do hope the matter will resolve itself permanently or at
- 20:52Speaker 10: least until the end of this season. In late October,
- 20:55Speaker 10: house the weather fine aside from a bit of cloud
- 20:58Speaker 10: about early today, westerly coming northeasterlies a high of fifteen.
- 21:02Speaker 2: Thanks clear mix and wellington morning mechs morning. Prior convictions
- 21:06Speaker 2: for the Lifer's Lodge accused of being revealed.
- 21:10Speaker 11: Yeah, it's about time we checked in on this trial.
- 21:12Speaker 11: The man who lit this fatal Loafer's Lodge fire in
- 21:15Speaker 11: Newtown a couple of years ago, fifty years old, identity suppressed,
- 21:18Speaker 11: pursuing an insanity defense rather than flat out denying he
- 21:23Speaker 11: was the one who lit the fire though that killed five.
- 21:25Speaker 11: He is pursuing insanity. Fifty prior offenses for this man
- 21:29Speaker 11: serious violence after a period of drinking, he had fractured
- 21:32Speaker 11: someone's skull and spent six years in prison. Attempt at arson,
- 21:36Speaker 11: He tried to burn down a butcher's shop, common assault, fraud.
- 21:40Speaker 11: The defense's case is that he didn't know what he
- 21:42Speaker 11: was doing, hence insanity clearly, though there are wider questions
- 21:46Speaker 11: via this trial of whether a large emergency housing hostel
- 21:50Speaker 11: was the best and only place for him to be staying.
- 21:53Speaker 11: It is a five week trial. There are still a
- 21:54Speaker 11: couple of weeks to go yet.
- 21:56Speaker 2: All right, and here's the weather.
- 21:58Speaker 11: Should be fine today with Norwesterly's getting.
- 21:59Speaker 2: Up nice one, Max, thank you, Neva's and Auckland Morning Neva,
- 22:03Speaker 2: good morning, Auckland's Secondary School Cultural Competition change on the way.
- 22:07Speaker 12: Yes, that is right, and look next to his Polyfest.
- 22:10Speaker 12: It's now going to be held across two different venues
- 22:12Speaker 12: on two separate dates. So the first event will be
- 22:15Speaker 12: held at the Monaco Sports Bowl. This is from March eighteen.
- 22:18Speaker 12: This will feature you know, like the Cook Islands you Wear,
- 22:21Speaker 12: some more Tonga diversity stages, and then the Maldi stage
- 22:26Speaker 12: will perform from March twenty two days later. This is
- 22:29Speaker 12: at the dew Drop Event Center in Monaco, and that's
- 22:32Speaker 12: going to provide the better alignment with events like matter Tiny,
- 22:35Speaker 12: So it kind of makes sense. And so all of
- 22:38Speaker 12: this is happening to you know, just help relieve that
- 22:40Speaker 12: pressure on the sports Bowl and allow for gross because
- 22:43Speaker 12: it has just grown so much over the years.
- 22:46Speaker 2: It's massive. Yeah, oh that's very good news. Maybe they
- 22:48Speaker 2: can have it at Eden Park once they change all
- 22:50Speaker 2: the rules.
- 22:51Speaker 12: That would be great.
- 22:52Speaker 2: What do you think about that? Just open it up?
- 22:55Speaker 2: Who cares? Let them go?
- 22:57Speaker 12: Well, this is going to be good too, because you know,
- 22:59Speaker 12: like with the Sunday night. You know how at Eden
- 23:02Speaker 12: Park you can't. You know, they're not having anything like
- 23:04Speaker 12: that on Sunday nights here You're not allowed to. But
- 23:06Speaker 12: you know, like this is going to be quite good. Really, yeah, yeah,
- 23:10Speaker 12: they have to do.
- 23:11Speaker 2: Something unless you live next door, and then you might
- 23:13Speaker 2: not be too heavy.
- 23:14Speaker 12: I'm about four blocks away, five blocks away, I mean,
- 23:19Speaker 12: and you must not in that street.
- 23:21Speaker 2: You must hear the raw.
- 23:22Speaker 12: But I do hear the raw, and I don't mind
- 23:24Speaker 12: the raw because you know, and.
- 23:26Speaker 2: You have odd hours. So if anyone would be upset,
- 23:29Speaker 2: oh it would be me. I mean Helen Clark seeming retired.
- 23:32Speaker 12: Well you see that's the thing, though, isn't it.
- 23:34Speaker 8: Is it the the oldies, the oldiest.
- 23:37Speaker 12: Mind you, I'm an oldie too, but.
- 23:39Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, neither.
- 23:40Speaker 2: How's that weather?
- 23:41Speaker 12: Cloudy showers? I have eighteen Everyone's going to text you now,
- 23:45Speaker 12: go ah, you're.
- 23:46Speaker 2: Not that old. You're not that old. It is thanks
- 23:49Speaker 2: neither eighteen minutes away from sex very quickly. This is
- 23:52Speaker 2: Keir Starmer. I set o't update you. So he's had
- 23:54Speaker 2: all of those problems aforementioned, but also overnight with a
- 23:58Speaker 2: fresh scandal. Paulden. This is his director of strategy at
- 24:02Speaker 2: Number ten. Now he's been revealed by the Mail to
- 24:06Speaker 2: have made some explicit comments about Diane Abbott in a
- 24:10Speaker 2: message to private email back in twenty seventeen. Dian Abbott
- 24:15Speaker 2: is the veteran MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington.
- 24:18Speaker 2: It's always stoked something, isn't it over in the UK? Anyway?
- 24:21Speaker 2: The Mail understands that mister Ovenden had exchanged emails with
- 24:25Speaker 2: a former colleague in twenty seventeen in which he retold
- 24:27Speaker 2: a story about a game of quote Shag Mary Kill
- 24:30Speaker 2: involving Miss Abbot that he had overheard. He then graphically
- 24:34Speaker 2: recounted the conversation in which two women described as performing
- 24:37Speaker 2: sex acts on Miss Abbot, who's seventy one years old.
- 24:41Speaker 2: So this is another headache for Starmer anyway. He's now resigned,
- 24:45Speaker 2: saying he's becoming quote a distraction. Seventeen to six, We're
- 24:50Speaker 2: alive in Australia. Next on Newstalk.
- 24:52Speaker 1: SEBB International Correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance, Peace of
- 24:57Speaker 1: Mind for New Zealand Business.
- 25:00Speaker 2: Simon Chicks, Ryan Jordi Beamish, He's the man. I got
- 25:03Speaker 2: very emotional watching him win overnight yet it's pretty cool
- 25:06Speaker 2: to see it is six for sorry, fourteen minutes away
- 25:08Speaker 2: from six. Now let's go to donnad Australia correspondent Donna.
- 25:11Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning to you. We've got a big fine.
- 25:14Speaker 2: This is for A in Z. It's set well, it
- 25:17Speaker 2: sounds big, but they are big business, aren't they. What's
- 25:19Speaker 2: it four?
- 25:21Speaker 13: Well, it's a record fine, in fact, two hundred and
- 25:23Speaker 13: forty million dollars for widespread misconduct one of the big
- 25:28Speaker 13: four banks, A and Z. As you mentioned, there were
- 25:30Speaker 13: four investigations brought by the financial regulator ASEK, the Australian
- 25:34Speaker 13: Securities and Investments Commission. Now the A and Z bank
- 25:38Speaker 13: failed to respond to hundreds of customer hardship notices, made
- 25:43Speaker 13: misleading statements about its savings interest rates, and did not
- 25:47Speaker 13: refund fees to thousands of dead customers, also admitting to
- 25:52Speaker 13: engaging in unconscionable conduct when raising money for the federal
- 25:56Speaker 13: government to finance spending in areas such as health and welfare.
- 26:00Speaker 13: And this happened over many, many years. We've heard from
- 26:03Speaker 13: the asset chair Joe Longo, who said that time and
- 26:06Speaker 13: time again A and ZED betrayed the trust of Australians.
- 26:10Speaker 13: We have an apology from the A and Z chair
- 26:12Speaker 13: and he's also said that the bank has taken all
- 26:15Speaker 13: necessary action, even holding some top executives and relevant executives
- 26:21Speaker 13: accountable for what happened.
- 26:22Speaker 2: How do you refund fees to a dead customer? Complicated?
- 26:28Speaker 13: I don't know. I'm not good at ADM me neither.
- 26:32Speaker 2: But they should be. That's the point, because there were
- 26:34Speaker 2: you know, billions of dollars and they've got a big operation.
- 26:37Speaker 13: Right absolutely absolutely so, yes, that was a record fine
- 26:42Speaker 13: that was established and I suppose the bank has to
- 26:46Speaker 13: deal with it now. I think they can appeal.
- 26:48Speaker 2: I'm not sure, all right, Donna, thank you very much
- 26:51Speaker 2: for that. Dond to Mayo, Australia correspond It's fifteen away
- 26:53Speaker 2: from Sex Ryan Bridge. So Howie Clark heading back this morning.
- 26:57Speaker 2: As the government goes after eating Parks restricts, only six
- 27:01Speaker 2: artists are allowed to play a total of twelve shows
- 27:03Speaker 2: a year there, and only on certain days. You've got
- 27:06Speaker 2: a curfew on weeknights. These are two thousand. I didn't
- 27:09Speaker 2: realize this until yesterday. Two thousand. Max capacity for conferences there,
- 27:14Speaker 2: consultation on changes getting underway. Vivbek Heart of the City
- 27:17Speaker 2: CEO with us this morning. Viv Good morning, Good morning.
- 27:21Speaker 2: How ridiculous are these rules?
- 27:24Speaker 6: Well, what I can say is that this is.
- 27:26Speaker 8: All about driving economic growth and I think the idea
- 27:30Speaker 8: of actually testing this to enable more concerts wherever they
- 27:35Speaker 8: might be. But it's about the size and the scale.
- 27:38Speaker 8: You know, if we're going to benchmark ourselves with Brisbane,
- 27:40Speaker 8: they had forty five I think as I understand that
- 27:43Speaker 8: their Economic Development Agency supported more than forty five events,
- 27:49Speaker 8: I think it might have been twenty four that generated
- 27:51Speaker 8: two hundred million economic activity and brought two hundred thousand
- 27:55Speaker 8: people to the city. So you know, we're talking about
- 27:58Speaker 8: unlocking the ability to really utilize major events as a
- 28:03Speaker 8: big economic driver.
- 28:04Speaker 2: Do we have the same infrastructure and capacity though as Brisbane.
- 28:08Speaker 8: Has, Well, you know, Eden Park is clearly the largest
- 28:12Speaker 8: stadium in the country, and we've got others coming on
- 28:14Speaker 8: stream but not as big. So it's you know, we're
- 28:16Speaker 8: going to have to do something that fits for purpose here.
- 28:20Speaker 8: But I think the idea of having a look at
- 28:22Speaker 8: these rules to see what's possible is important. And you
- 28:26Speaker 8: know the fact is that these are the opportunities we've
- 28:29Speaker 8: been asking for we're looking for a long term, sustainable
- 28:33Speaker 8: pipeline of events with sustainable funding. Now that's not what's here.
- 28:37Speaker 8: We've got some immediate money which is terrific to drive things.
- 28:42Speaker 8: From our perspective, coming out of a decade of major
- 28:45Speaker 8: construction and disruption, this is the sort of thing that
- 28:49Speaker 8: can actually start to get things moving.
- 28:51Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you think they're going to do because
- 28:52Speaker 2: they've announced this one off money for the major events?
- 28:55Speaker 2: What do you think they're going to do because they're
- 28:56Speaker 2: talking or they want a pipeline that they need to
- 28:58Speaker 2: stuff going forward? Is that? Do you reckon that they're
- 29:02Speaker 2: going to I reckon the nets are going to go
- 29:03Speaker 2: to the election with a bid tax. What do you reckon?
- 29:06Speaker 8: Well, there's going to have to be something, and they've
- 29:08Speaker 8: pushed back. I understand it. They pushed back on it
- 29:10Speaker 8: because there was well, they're not going to do it
- 29:13Speaker 8: this term. There's quite a lot of support for it
- 29:16Speaker 8: to be national rather than regional. Obviously, there's a big
- 29:19Speaker 8: push here to g get something locally to get things moving.
- 29:24Speaker 8: But I think what we do need is to see
- 29:26Speaker 8: what's going to come beyond that. There has to be
- 29:28Speaker 8: something if we're going to be in this space, we're
- 29:31Speaker 8: going to have to have a sustainable funding model, so
- 29:33Speaker 8: this is really an interim step. I think it's been
- 29:36Speaker 8: really well received from our perspective. If you look at
- 29:38Speaker 8: something like a Pink, you know, we had a day
- 29:40Speaker 8: of six and a half million dollars of spend. You know,
- 29:43Speaker 8: those sort of concerts make a massive difference, and that's
- 29:46Speaker 8: really what we want to unlock here. And I think,
- 29:49Speaker 8: you know, having a lock at these rules to see
- 29:51Speaker 8: what is possible to really start to grow and make
- 29:53Speaker 8: sure we're in it for the long term. That's going
- 29:56Speaker 8: to be key because we have to have the artists
- 29:59Speaker 8: wanting to come here. It has to be something that's viable.
- 30:03Speaker 8: But there's certainly a big opportunity from an economic to speak.
- 30:06Speaker 2: Everyone talks about Pink. I mean it was a great concert,
- 30:08Speaker 2: Wasn't that. There's no doubting, no knowing that.
- 30:10Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 30:11Speaker 2: I appreciate your time this morning. Vivivebk Heart of the
- 30:13Speaker 2: city's CEO, on the potential changes to Eden Park and
- 30:18Speaker 2: its restrictions. Maybe Pink more Pink will get us out
- 30:21Speaker 2: of the stink. Hey nine to six News Talks. Heb
- 30:24Speaker 2: right next on.
- 30:26Speaker 1: Your radio and on Lane on iHeartRadio Early edition with
- 30:30Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and one roof Love, where You Live, News Talks, EDB.
- 30:35Speaker 2: News Talks, HEB. It is seven minutes away from six.
- 30:38Speaker 2: Interesting to see today whether those priests who have chained
- 30:40Speaker 2: themselves to Nicola Willis's electorate office they did it with
- 30:42Speaker 2: Simmy and Brown's yesterday, whether they are still there today.
- 30:45Speaker 2: And the Pope has come out and criticized in his
- 30:47Speaker 2: first official interview with media, criticized Elon Musk for being
- 30:51Speaker 2: too rich. Last time I checked, the Vatican was the
- 30:54Speaker 2: eighteenth wealthiest nation on Earth per capita. Of course, not
- 30:57Speaker 2: a big population, lots of tithing with a net of
- 31:00Speaker 2: wait for it, somewhere between estimates. Very obviously there's not
- 31:04Speaker 2: a lot of scrutiny going on here. Seventy to two
- 31:07Speaker 2: hundred and fifty billion dollars, it's six to six. Ryan Bridge,
- 31:11Speaker 2: Good morning, Mike morning.
- 31:13Speaker 14: Quick question for the priests who were chained up. Yes,
- 31:16Speaker 14: tell me when they talk about sanctions. Yes, tell me
- 31:19Speaker 14: how much we sell to Israel? What's the two way trade?
- 31:23Speaker 14: Well in New Zealand and Israel.
- 31:24Speaker 2: More significant what they sell to us, because that would
- 31:29Speaker 2: be the thing that damages the most. And this morning.
- 31:31Speaker 2: I had a look at was sixty billion is their
- 31:35Speaker 2: exports and one hundred and ninety million to New Zealand
- 31:39Speaker 2: zero point three percent.
- 31:41Speaker 14: Tiny. It's irrelevant, but I don't care pointless. By the way,
- 31:44Speaker 14: message from my wife for you. So I, according to her,
- 31:49Speaker 14: misled you yesterday Viza v the underneath of the car.
- 31:51Speaker 2: Ah.
- 31:52Speaker 14: Yeah, So this had happened to us, and I'd forgotten this.
- 31:55Speaker 14: One of our sons who had a Mercedes and he
- 31:58Speaker 14: had the same thing break and he was told he
- 32:01Speaker 14: took it along and they said, glew it back on.
- 32:05Speaker 14: So glew it back on because she said, and so
- 32:08Speaker 14: she said, I shouldn't be giving you advice that involves
- 32:11Speaker 14: you spending a lot of money. And so at six
- 32:14Speaker 14: hundred dollars, she didn't want you spending the six hundred dollars.
- 32:17Speaker 14: She wanted you. She wanted you to glue it back on.
- 32:20Speaker 14: And I said, well, look at it. Surely would depend
- 32:22Speaker 14: on how you know broken up it was? Oh, is
- 32:25Speaker 14: it completely? That's what I said, because ours was just cracked.
- 32:30Speaker 2: No, mine screwed.
- 32:32Speaker 14: And I thought for six hundred dollars, obviously this was
- 32:34Speaker 14: on our walk yesterday, I said, for six hundred dollars.
- 32:37Speaker 14: I said, Ryan's a beginner these days, he's on the
- 32:39Speaker 14: good money, and six hundred dollars for a protector, you know,
- 32:41Speaker 14: for us. And also she said I shouldn't have laughed
- 32:44Speaker 14: at your station wagon.
- 32:45Speaker 2: Yes, my actually my husband mentioned that. Yeah, and it's
- 32:48Speaker 2: wrong with the station wagon.
- 32:50Speaker 14: Well, everything's wrong with the station wagon once since the
- 32:52Speaker 14: invention of the suv, the station wagons no longer necessary
- 32:56Speaker 14: before the suv.
- 32:57Speaker 2: Fair enough, Can I tell you what happened? What yesterday?
- 33:01Speaker 2: I went to the mechanic, Yes, and I had to
- 33:03Speaker 2: go in because we've got the wheels aligned. Yes. And
- 33:06Speaker 2: he said, so you made a decision about the plastic
- 33:09Speaker 2: covering and I said, yeah, I have. I'm not getting it.
- 33:12Speaker 14: So you're now driving, You're now driving without protection. Yes,
- 33:16Speaker 14: And so when a rock goes up under smacks you,
- 33:19Speaker 14: some the oils all over the road on me, it's
- 33:21Speaker 14: on your welfare.
- 33:22Speaker 2: And I'll use that massive salary you keep talking about
- 33:25Speaker 2: to fix it again.
- 33:26Speaker 14: Did you do your alignment while you hit the road cone?
- 33:29Speaker 14: Is that all connected with the same The alignment is
- 33:32Speaker 14: because you know how I park on the street because
- 33:33Speaker 14: I'm poor. Oh you you smack into the foot path.
- 33:36Speaker 2: No, I parked slightly because it's a narrow street, so
- 33:38Speaker 2: I have park on the two wheels on the footpaths
- 33:41Speaker 2: slightly good, which everyone does because otherwise sort of life
- 33:44Speaker 2: are you living? Clearly not a hosting one on the street?
- 33:50Speaker 2: Half like up? Thank you? Kate?
- 33:54Speaker 14: Do you do you have a colburn out the back
