- 0:34Speaker 3: The President knows and believes that this is as good
- 0:37Speaker 3: of a plan as these sides are going to see.
- 0:40Speaker 2: And that's why it's twenty one points.
- 0:42Speaker 4: It's very detailed, it's comprehensive.
- 0:44Speaker 2: Ultimately, the President knows when you get to a good deal,
- 0:47Speaker 2: both sides are going to leave a little bit unhappy.
- 0:50Speaker 5: But we need this conflict to end.
- 0:52Speaker 2: Hamas says it still hasn't seen the proposal to Britain.
- 0:55Speaker 2: Now the Labour Party conference rolls into another day. Rachel
- 0:58Speaker 2: Reeves sounds like she's going to keep on cutting.
- 1:00Speaker 6: There are still.
- 1:00Speaker 5: People who peddle the idea that we could just abandon
- 1:03Speaker 5: economic responsibility, cast off any constraints on spending.
- 1:09Speaker 2: They're wrong, dangerously sorry.
- 1:11Speaker 7: Our first year in power was about fixing the foundations.
- 1:14Speaker 7: Our seconds must be about building a renewed economy for
- 1:18Speaker 7: a renewed Britain.
- 1:19Speaker 2: Staying in Europe. We spoke yesterday about Moldova. Well, the
- 1:22Speaker 2: pro EU party one Putent's lot loss, so they're still
- 1:26Speaker 2: keen on joining the EU. There here's the President, Maya Sandu.
- 1:30Speaker 8: We want to keep this country stable. We want to
- 1:34Speaker 8: keep this country part of the three worlds. And no
- 1:37Speaker 8: matter how difficult it is, and no matter how big
- 1:40Speaker 8: the pressure from our school is and will be, will
- 1:44Speaker 8: continue because we believe in this and you is a
- 1:46Speaker 8: fist project, because we believe in freedom and democracy.
- 1:51Speaker 1: News and Views you Trust. To start your day, It's
- 1:54Speaker 1: early edition with Bryan Bridge and one roof love where
- 1:58Speaker 1: you Live.
- 1:59Speaker 2: News Talk said it's gone d after five grades. To
- 2:01Speaker 2: have your company nine two nine two the number to text.
- 2:04Speaker 2: Two things to get off my chest this morning. One
- 2:05Speaker 2: is the priest I mean, honestly, just go back to church.
- 2:08Speaker 2: I'm sick of it. I'm absolutely sick of it, chaining
- 2:12Speaker 2: themselves to lamp posts to I mean, look, isn't religion
- 2:17Speaker 2: part of the problem in the Middle East to begin with?
- 2:21Speaker 2: Is that not the elephant in the room and the
- 2:22Speaker 2: electroc office for you? Honestly, I've just had enough of it.
- 2:27Speaker 2: Go back to church, and look, I've got nothing against religion.
- 2:29Speaker 2: I believe everyone should be free to believe in whatever
- 2:32Speaker 2: they want to believe in. But if I wanted, you know,
- 2:35Speaker 2: self righteous moral grandstanding from a vicar, I'd go to
- 2:38Speaker 2: church myself. Just annoying, go pray quietly in your congregations.
- 2:43Speaker 2: Luxon has written a letter to Chippy and he's then
- 2:47Speaker 2: released it. Well it looks like let release it to
- 2:50Speaker 2: the Herald, so they've got their hands on it, published
- 2:52Speaker 2: it this morning. The timing of the letter is important
- 2:56Speaker 2: because it's hipkins media around day to day, so he's
- 3:00Speaker 2: trying to, you know, get something in front of him
- 3:02Speaker 2: and shape the narrative. So good politics. I suppose they've
- 3:05Speaker 2: got the Frontier report coming out tomorrow. So what does
- 3:08Speaker 2: he want? He wants bipartisan support on gas support offshore
- 3:12Speaker 2: exploration for natural gas for at least ten years, mister Hipkins. Now,
- 3:17Speaker 2: Labour's position on this is pretty much no. They will
- 3:20Speaker 2: reinstate the band that they introduced along with New Zealand first,
- 3:25Speaker 2: and they have also not said yet whether they would
- 3:28Speaker 2: go even further than that and revoke permits that National issues.
- 3:34Speaker 2: So pretty much the opposite right. So the reason that
- 3:37Speaker 2: National's doing this is, you know, if nobody looks for
- 3:41Speaker 2: gas after they reversed the band, then they can blame Labor.
- 3:46Speaker 2: We've got an energy crunch returning next year. This year
- 3:50Speaker 2: saved by rain and that meth the next deal, but
- 3:52Speaker 2: next year they reckon things are back on. So is
- 3:56Speaker 2: this smart politics from luxe? And Labor basically has said
- 3:59Speaker 2: no when not doing it. In fact, apart from Palestine,
- 4:02Speaker 2: I saw they came out yesterday and said we will
- 4:05Speaker 2: recognize Palestine on day one. That is literally their only
- 4:08Speaker 2: policy at the moment. You know, a policy on a
- 4:11Speaker 2: war a million miles away. Is that going to get
- 4:14Speaker 2: you elected elected? I don't know. I don't think so anyway.
- 4:17Speaker 2: Just remember our emissions are zero point one seven percent
- 4:22Speaker 2: of global emissions, and we feed forty million people. The
- 4:27Speaker 2: problem I suppose with all of this is they're fighting
- 4:29Speaker 2: over who's more bipartisan, which is never a great thing.
- 4:34Speaker 2: Is that ten minutes after five the number of text
- 4:37Speaker 2: We'll look at these health numbers next with Rob Campbell, The.
- 4:40Speaker 1: News You Need this Morning and the in Depth Analysis
- 4:43Speaker 1: Early Edition with Ryan Bridge and One Route Love Where
- 4:47Speaker 1: You Lived, News Talks.
- 4:49Speaker 2: AB five point thirteen on News Talk said, be if
- 4:51Speaker 2: I was going to chain myself to something today over
- 4:53Speaker 2: an issue, it's Dame Knowles and Netball New Zealand. I think,
- 4:56Speaker 2: get in there, Dame Knowles and do you know what
- 4:58Speaker 2: you should ask for? Apparently they're meeting today a big
- 5:00Speaker 2: showdown today, Netball New Zealand and Dame Knowles. She was
- 5:03Speaker 2: stood down for the Tiny Jamison series. Constellation Cup starts
- 5:07Speaker 2: in seventeen days and the camp starts in six days,
- 5:12Speaker 2: and I think they have absolutely no choice but to
- 5:15Speaker 2: back her. You know, you've got Netbulls stars, former stars
- 5:19Speaker 2: backing her, and you've got the biggest star in Grace
- 5:21Speaker 2: Wiki backing her. So I say, go in there, Dame
- 5:25Speaker 2: Knowles with the head held high, with the support of
- 5:27Speaker 2: the biggest star in the sport right now, and ask
- 5:31Speaker 2: for a pay rise get some better clauses in there too.
- 5:33Speaker 2: It is thirteen and after five. Ryan's got some numbers
- 5:36Speaker 2: that show the health system might be getting back on track.
- 5:38Speaker 2: Cancer treatment wait times are down more than eighty six
- 5:41Speaker 2: percent getting treatment within thirty one days. Eighty two percent
- 5:44Speaker 2: of kids fully immunized by age two. That's up six
- 5:47Speaker 2: percent on last year. ED patients seen within six hours.
- 5:51Speaker 2: That's up from seventy one to seventy four percent on
- 5:54Speaker 2: a year ago. Rob Campbell, former health ends he'd share
- 5:56Speaker 2: with me this morning, Rob, good morning, good morning, right,
- 5:59Speaker 2: something to sell break.
- 6:01Speaker 4: Yeah, it's almost as if we should get Dame Knowles
- 6:04Speaker 4: and to celebrate with us with some targets, isn't it.
- 6:06Speaker 4: Or maybe that's a bit tough these days. But really
- 6:09Speaker 4: I think the minister's staff have made a mistake here, Ryan,
- 6:11Speaker 4: I think they've issued the wrong press statement. I think
- 6:14Speaker 4: what the minister really wanted to say was that he
- 6:16Speaker 4: apologized to all the doctors and nurses who's been castigating
- 6:20Speaker 4: for the last couple of weeks for not putting patients first,
- 6:23Speaker 4: because we find that in fact been short staffed, been
- 6:26Speaker 4: short paid. They have in fact been putting patients first
- 6:29Speaker 4: and meeting his targets, so I'm sure he wants to
- 6:31Speaker 4: apologize and get their problems sorted out for them. In response.
- 6:34Speaker 2: How does that work though? How do you you say
- 6:37Speaker 2: they're short on pay, short on staff, they've got a
- 6:39Speaker 2: minister who's angry, and yet the system's improving. How do
- 6:42Speaker 2: you actually explain that.
- 6:45Speaker 4: I don't think it's hard to explain for anyone who's
- 6:48Speaker 4: worked in a large business over any time. So if
- 6:53Speaker 4: you set targets and the structural management that they are
- 6:56Speaker 4: to achieve those targets, typically they will be able to
- 6:59Speaker 4: produce some results. And these are good results. I'm not
- 7:03Speaker 4: gain saying that at all. These are good results. It's
- 7:05Speaker 4: an improvement. The issues are what have you not done
- 7:09Speaker 4: in order to achieve these specific results. It's one of
- 7:12Speaker 4: the dangers of targets that you do achieve the ones
- 7:15Speaker 4: you aim at, but you're not achieving other things within
- 7:17Speaker 4: the within the health system. Now, there will be some
- 7:20Speaker 4: things which are lapsing in order to achieve this. Now,
- 7:22Speaker 4: these are the targets set the minister set. Minister sets
- 7:25Speaker 4: so he'll be happy. They're not unreasonable targets in themselves,
- 7:29Speaker 4: but other things won't be happening, And the task for
- 7:31Speaker 4: our public health system is really not so much to
- 7:34Speaker 4: hit specific targets or to improve specific targets, but can
- 7:38Speaker 4: we rebuild our health system into something which across the
- 7:41Speaker 4: board is effective, efficient and resilient, And sometimes targets can
- 7:45Speaker 4: cut across that. I suspect we'll find in due course
- 7:48Speaker 4: through a ways. This is happening.
- 7:49Speaker 2: But take that.
- 7:51Speaker 4: Having said all of that, you can hit these sorts
- 7:53Speaker 4: of targets, will improve these sorts of targets. But this
- 7:56Speaker 4: is good news for the people who have got the
- 7:57Speaker 4: service more quickly or more effectively.
- 7:59Speaker 2: I'll say that good news, absolutely. Rob there's a text
- 8:02Speaker 2: coming from Roger Morning Roger. He says, Hi, run the
- 8:05Speaker 2: ED waiting time is rigged. The starting time begins from
- 8:08Speaker 2: when the patient is first seen by a clinician, not
- 8:11Speaker 2: the time that they arrived. I took my daughter to
- 8:13Speaker 2: Waikata ED and waited five hours to see a doctor.
- 8:17Speaker 2: After arriving, the ED wait time only recorded as an hour.
- 8:20Speaker 2: Is that true?
- 8:22Speaker 4: Those things certainly do happen, and it's one of the
- 8:24Speaker 4: problems with targets is that information is often structured to
- 8:28Speaker 4: meet the target. That's quite common problem. Not Chris, not
- 8:31Speaker 4: just in the Health Service, but in other organizations that
- 8:34Speaker 4: introduced these very specific sorts of targets. So there will
- 8:37Speaker 4: undoubtedly be an element of that happening, but I wouldn't
- 8:41Speaker 4: question that there has been some improvement in these specific
- 8:43Speaker 4: targets overall.
- 8:45Speaker 2: Appreciate your time, Rob, Rob Campbell, former Health ends in
- 8:48Speaker 2: chair with us this morning seventeen after five News Talk
- 8:50Speaker 2: said be up next? Is it too late now to
- 8:52Speaker 2: say sorry for the Reserve Bank?
- 8:55Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day early
- 8:58Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof love where you Live?
- 9:02Speaker 2: News Talk sa'd be it is five nineteen. Lots of
- 9:05Speaker 2: support for comments on the priest this morning. I mean
- 9:07Speaker 2: nothing against priests, but just when you're ramming it down
- 9:11Speaker 2: our throats day in, day out and blocking parliamentary offices,
- 9:14Speaker 2: it's just becomes annoying, frankly. Lots of feedback on health
- 9:18Speaker 2: targets as well. This one coming in this morning from
- 9:21Speaker 2: doesn't say the name. I'd actually love it if you
- 9:24Speaker 2: wouldn't mind putting your names at the end. It just
- 9:27Speaker 2: helps me get a picture of who you are. I'm
- 9:29Speaker 2: still waiting on my hip X ray results as this
- 9:32Speaker 2: text three months later from green Lane Hospital. Doctor hasn't
- 9:35Speaker 2: heard either. Can I suggest I think green Lane is
- 9:38Speaker 2: a private hospital anyway? But can I suggest that you
- 9:40Speaker 2: go with Southern Cross Health Society because they've released their results.
- 9:44Speaker 2: Their payouts are record three point eight million claims they
- 9:47Speaker 2: reckon in the last year. That's up sixteen percent. Two
- 9:50Speaker 2: five hundred and ninety nine new knees across New Zealand
- 9:54Speaker 2: and four hundred and ninety new hips. The knees are
- 9:58Speaker 2: the most expensive, paying out eighty million colonoscopies, eighty million
- 10:02Speaker 2: hip replacements, seventy two in hysterectomies fifty two. It is
- 10:05Speaker 2: twenty half to five Bryan. The Reserve Banks taking a
- 10:08Speaker 2: hard look at itself. Findings aren't exactly shocking, are they.
- 10:11Speaker 2: Its own reports says it didn't hike interest rates fast
- 10:14Speaker 2: enough to tackle COVID inflation. Interest rates fell to just
- 10:16Speaker 2: zero point two five percent in twenty twenty one. They
- 10:20Speaker 2: rocketed up to five point five and twenty twenty three.
- 10:23Speaker 2: This is as inflation hit seven point three percent. Doctor
- 10:26Speaker 2: Eric Crampton, chief economist at the New Zealand Initiative, Eric,
- 10:29Speaker 2: good morning, Good morning.
- 10:31Speaker 9: Have they hit the nail on the head well, they've
- 10:34Speaker 9: identified some of the problems. They noted some of them
- 10:38Speaker 9: were a little bit surprising, but I guess we should
- 10:40Speaker 9: have realized what was going on. They noted that some
- 10:43Speaker 9: of the monetary policy models that couldn't deal well with
- 10:46Speaker 9: supply shocks, and we had dealt with a supply shock
- 10:49Speaker 9: in COVID. They're ended sim model, which is the core
- 10:53Speaker 9: backbone that they used for forecasting what's going on in
- 10:55Speaker 9: the world. It wasn't able to handle the kind of
- 10:58Speaker 9: supply shock that has large cross country interactions. So they're
- 11:03Speaker 9: trying to beef that up. They're trying to beef up
- 11:05Speaker 9: a lot more real time data to get a better
- 11:08Speaker 9: handle on what's going on. I guess one of the
- 11:10Speaker 9: disappointing bits is that they're saying in hindsight on some
- 11:13Speaker 9: of this. It wasn't just hindsight. There are plenty of
- 11:16Speaker 9: people saying at the time that the reserve bank was
- 11:19Speaker 9: printing too much money, that it would have strong inflationary consequence,
- 11:24Speaker 9: and that it was fundamentally wrong response to a large
- 11:28Speaker 9: negative supply shock. So what I mean by that reserve
- 11:32Speaker 9: banks are used to dealing with things like the GFC
- 11:36Speaker 9: from the two thousands or other financial crises where the
- 11:40Speaker 9: shock is coming out of the financial side of the economy,
- 11:43Speaker 9: it's not coming out of the real side of the economy,
- 11:46Speaker 9: and they'll often deal with that by printing money, reducing
- 11:50Speaker 9: interest rates to boost aggregate demand, to get people standing
- 11:53Speaker 9: of it more again, and things then sort of ride
- 11:56Speaker 9: themselves out. That doesn't really work when the underlying productive
- 12:02Speaker 9: capacity of the economy, both here and elsewhere, has substantially
- 12:06Speaker 9: shifted inward. That it just every combination that you'd have
- 12:10Speaker 9: just won't be as productive as it used to be
- 12:12Speaker 9: because covid is keeping everybody at home. Factories couldn't run, cold,
- 12:16Speaker 9: stores weren't running well. Nothing was really working well. And
- 12:20Speaker 9: if you pump money into that environment, you just have
- 12:23Speaker 9: more money chasing the same number of goods, and that
- 12:27Speaker 9: ramps prices up. They should have realized this a lot faster.
- 12:31Speaker 9: We'd been putting up notes on this from our shop
- 12:33Speaker 9: around June twenty twenty. I think I had a blog
- 12:35Speaker 9: post on it in April. Bryce will consented seeing it,
- 12:39Speaker 9: but also folks like Grant Spencer and Arthur Grimes had
- 12:42Speaker 9: been talking about the asset price run up that you're
- 12:44Speaker 9: going to see from the monetary policy we've had so
- 12:48Speaker 9: great that now four or five years later they're fixing
- 12:53Speaker 9: some of this, But it's it would have been better
- 12:57Speaker 9: if if they had identified it earlier.
- 13:00Speaker 2: It would have been avoid the absolutely eric So in
- 13:02Speaker 2: a nutshell, you know, I've admitted that they were too slow.
- 13:05Speaker 2: If they'd been quicker, would that height have been as steep?
- 13:09Speaker 2: Did the speed affect the destination and therefore would we
- 13:13Speaker 2: not be in as much shite as we are now.
- 13:18Speaker 9: I don't have the big macro forecasting models behind me
- 13:21Speaker 9: like they do. I would expect that had they realized
- 13:25Speaker 9: by mid to late twenty twenty that they were really
- 13:28Speaker 9: dealing with a large supply shock rather than a shock
- 13:31Speaker 9: from the demand side of the economy, they would have
- 13:34Speaker 9: engaged in less of the initial money pump printing, fewer
- 13:40Speaker 9: large scale acid purposes purchases, and less of a reduction
- 13:44Speaker 9: and interest rates, and they would have started to increase
- 13:47Speaker 9: those again more quickly. That should have avoided hitting the
- 13:52Speaker 9: peaks that we did hit because we wouldn't have hit
- 13:54Speaker 9: the same inflation outcomes that we hit. But the Reserve
- 13:57Speaker 9: Bank has had to be fighting these past couple of years.
- 14:01Speaker 9: Isn't just the inflation that got away from it, but
- 14:04Speaker 9: also the really high expectations about inflation that started getting
- 14:08Speaker 9: baked in. So if you look back a couple of
- 14:10Speaker 9: years ago, inflation expectations were running well north of the
- 14:17Speaker 9: target range that the Reserve Bank tries to hit. That's
- 14:20Speaker 9: what we call unanchored. So if everyone expects that the
- 14:23Speaker 9: Reserve Bank is going to do a good job and
- 14:25Speaker 9: keep inflation around two percent, it has a lot easier
- 14:28Speaker 9: time of doing that. When people start expecting more inflation,
- 14:32Speaker 9: they have a hell of a time getting it back
- 14:34Speaker 9: down and we're experiencing some of the consequences.
- 14:36Speaker 2: Yeah. Plus they also had the government spending, didn't they.
- 14:39Speaker 2: Doctor Eric Crampton The New Zealand Initiative. It is twenty
- 14:41Speaker 2: five after five News Talk CIB the early.
- 14:44Speaker 1: Edition, full show podcast on Ion Radio, how It By
- 14:48Speaker 1: News Talks AB.
- 14:50Speaker 2: News Talks inb five twenty seven. Hell's always been a
- 14:53Speaker 2: portfolio that MP's never really want a bar off. You
- 14:56Speaker 2: never when you got endless fights with the unions, You've
- 14:58Speaker 2: got people waiting for surgery, hard to keep up with technology,
- 15:01Speaker 2: and it's very personal. You know, if you don't get
- 15:04Speaker 2: the care that you need, it's literally life and death stuff.
- 15:07Speaker 2: So if these numbers Simeon Brown's putting out it to
- 15:09Speaker 2: be believed, and I've got no reason to doubt them,
- 15:11Speaker 2: then he should be congratulated. Cancer wait times, immunizations, elective surgeries,
- 15:16Speaker 2: ed numbers are heading in the right direction, but by
- 15:18Speaker 2: no means job finished, and some of the movements only
- 15:21Speaker 2: a few percent, and it's quarter on quarter comparisons. But
- 15:24Speaker 2: for a government the media would have you believe is
- 15:26Speaker 2: traditionally stingy and ineffective in health, at least we have
- 15:29Speaker 2: some measurable, measurable results to compare, and they're not terrible.
- 15:33Speaker 2: Labour will come out today and hate this. They say,
- 15:36Speaker 2: grandma's hip operation is being farmed out to the private sector.
- 15:39Speaker 2: And you know what Grandma will say, I don't care.
- 15:42Speaker 2: I've got a new hip. This is all short term stuff, though.
- 15:46Speaker 2: The bigger question is how we plan to pay for
- 15:49Speaker 2: this expensive system in twenty years time when the population
- 15:52Speaker 2: problem kicks in. Treasury Ransom numbers on this. They looked
- 15:56Speaker 2: at health spending on pensioners as a share of the
- 15:59Speaker 2: over all health budget nineteen fifty one twenty nine percent.
- 16:04Speaker 2: Today it's forty percent, and by twenty fifty one sixty
- 16:08Speaker 2: three percent, So two thirds of the health budget will
- 16:11Speaker 2: be spent on over sixty fives and fewer workers to
- 16:14Speaker 2: pay for it. The problem with a decent public health
- 16:17Speaker 2: system is that people live longer as a result. It's
- 16:19Speaker 2: a vicious cycle. Of course, nobody wants grandma to die,
- 16:23Speaker 2: but if Simeon Brown keeps this up, we'll be bankrupt
- 16:26Speaker 2: before she carts it. Bryan Bridge, twenty eight, a half
- 16:29Speaker 2: to five News Talks, he'd be sorry grandma. Now. Rory McElroy,
- 16:32Speaker 2: did you see the golf? It looked more like an
- 16:34Speaker 2: NRL game. Just things got a little bit feral anyway.
- 16:38Speaker 2: Rory McElroy said that his wife was hit by a
- 16:41Speaker 2: can of beer.
- 16:43Speaker 3: Golf teaches you very good life lessons.
- 16:46Speaker 2: It teaches you attiquette, It teaches you how to play
- 16:48Speaker 2: by the rules. It teaches you how to respect people.
- 16:51Speaker 2: And you know, sometimes this week we didn't see that
- 16:54Speaker 2: doesn't sound like the gentleman's game, does it when you've
- 16:56Speaker 2: got cops and police dogs lining the fairway? Hey, very quickly,
- 17:00Speaker 2: this is from Albanesi. He's over in London at the
- 17:02Speaker 2: moment and says no, no, no, no, I'm not going
- 17:05Speaker 2: to do anything on a republic.
- 17:06Speaker 3: I have no intention of holding any referendums on those issues.
- 17:12Speaker 3: I think they will put to the Australian people, and
- 17:16Speaker 3: the Australian people made a decision.
- 17:19Speaker 2: A bit of a love in with the king too.
- 17:21Speaker 2: We'll check in with Donad de Mayo, our Australia correspondence.
- 17:24Speaker 2: She's with us after news and the earthquake building standards
- 17:28Speaker 2: before six News Talks at.
- 17:29Speaker 1: B get ahead of the headlines on early edition with
- 17:37Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and one Root Love Where you live News Talks.
- 17:41Speaker 2: At B is that you just pretty far away from
- 17:47Speaker 2: the six zero News Talks said, be great to have
- 17:49Speaker 2: your company this morning. We're in Australia with Donnad Demayo. Next,
- 17:52Speaker 2: then we'll talk quake buildings before top of the hour.
- 17:55Speaker 2: It'sn't it funny that you overreck, you know, something bad happens,
- 17:58Speaker 2: government overregulates and then you have thousands of buildings sitting
- 18:03Speaker 2: empty and idle. You know, you can't go to the
- 18:05Speaker 2: theater and why puck because of these regulations. And then
- 18:10Speaker 2: at the stroke of a pen they will open them
- 18:12Speaker 2: back up again and everyone can go back to life
- 18:14Speaker 2: as normal. Fascinating development with video game industry. This morning,
- 18:19Speaker 2: Electronic Arts. This is a company that you probably haven't
- 18:21Speaker 2: heard of, but they have just secured the largest private
- 18:25Speaker 2: equity backed by out in history. So your stockholders will
- 18:29Speaker 2: get two hundred and ten bucks a share. That's a
- 18:31Speaker 2: twenty five percent premium on the share price that close
- 18:34Speaker 2: on Thursday last week. They publish the SIMS if you
- 18:38Speaker 2: know that game, and also FIFA, which is the video
- 18:41Speaker 2: game I think they now call it FC. And this
- 18:43Speaker 2: is all being pushed by the Saudis. The Saudis are
- 18:47Speaker 2: very much into the video game industry. They're into a
- 18:49Speaker 2: lot of industries at the moment, but video games in particular.
- 18:52Speaker 2: They've got a minority staken Nintendo. They've also taken over
- 18:56Speaker 2: the company that does Pokemon Go and now they have
- 19:00Speaker 2: just along with a bunch of others, done this fifty
- 19:03Speaker 2: five billion dollar deal. Along with Silverlap who you'll know
- 19:07Speaker 2: to buy Electronic Arts, which is just a massive number
- 19:11Speaker 2: you can't even get your head around. Twenty three away
- 19:12Speaker 2: from six Bread are reporters around the country. Calum Procter
- 19:16Speaker 2: and need and Callum, good morning morning, right, so you've
- 19:19Speaker 2: got an update men with prostate cancer. In the last
- 19:22Speaker 2: South Ireland. They are benefiting from extra specialists. Yeah, they are.
- 19:27Speaker 10: This is a rare good news story about our health system.
- 19:30Speaker 10: The Health Minister saying that New Zealand's first advanced practitioner
- 19:34Speaker 10: radiation therapist specializing in prostate cancer is transforming care here
- 19:39Speaker 10: in the South. The practitioner runs review clinics, six week
- 19:42Speaker 10: post treatment follow ups and assessments to prepare patients before
- 19:46Speaker 10: they see a specialist. Simeon Brown says in August alone,
- 19:50Speaker 10: around sixty men here received faster treatment, personalized support and
- 19:54Speaker 10: improved outcomes. He says there are plans to extend this
- 19:57Speaker 10: role to a wider range of urological conditions.
- 20:00Speaker 11: Right.
- 20:00Speaker 2: How's your weather got a strong win? Watch for a
- 20:03Speaker 2: tiger today?
- 20:04Speaker 10: Gusty and strong Northwesters, but a sale has change. This
- 20:07Speaker 10: evening brings snow to three hundred meters. That's tonight's today's
- 20:10Speaker 10: high seventeen.
- 20:11Speaker 2: Cheers Courtney, christ ch Hey, Courtney, good morning, Ryan. You
- 20:15Speaker 2: got boy races and Banks Peninsula?
- 20:17Speaker 12: Yes so, Littleton Harbord residents are feed up with reckless
- 20:21Speaker 12: drivers making roads unsafe and disturbing sleep. So they're launching
- 20:25Speaker 12: a task force, a fundraising campaign and hiring a portable
- 20:28Speaker 12: speed camera to tackle it. Local councilor Tyrone Fields says
- 20:32Speaker 12: the harbor is an amphitheater for the countless loud and
- 20:36Speaker 12: high speed boy racers. He says he wants an adequate
- 20:40Speaker 12: police and legal response so that this doesn't enable anti
- 20:44Speaker 12: road use. Fields says he's encouraging the community to request
- 20:48Speaker 12: funding which they haven't yet, to counsel and try engaging
- 20:52Speaker 12: with police.
- 20:53Speaker 2: Council yep, right, well that's good and hopefully they catch
- 20:58Speaker 2: the boy racers. Courtney, how's your weather?
- 21:01Speaker 12: Cloudy periods with some showers, northeasterlies turning strong. North westerlies
- 21:05Speaker 12: are high of seventeen.
- 21:07Speaker 2: Thank you, Courtney, Max and Wellington Heymax, good morning. You
- 21:10Speaker 2: got a home invasion that's left a victim traumatized.
- 21:13Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 21:13Speaker 5: Wadstown Sunday police were called to a suburban street just
- 21:17Speaker 5: the other side of State Highway One behind Thornton reports
- 21:20Speaker 5: of a man trying to break into a car, then
- 21:23Speaker 5: far more frighteningly, trying to enter someone's home with a
- 21:26Speaker 5: large knife. It appeared a bladed weapon that's described terrifyingly.
- 21:30Speaker 5: It seems the owners were home at the time police arrived.
- 21:33Speaker 5: The man did get into the house, retreated to a
- 21:35Speaker 5: room inside and refused to leave the aos. The Armed
- 21:38Speaker 5: Offender Squad had to be called in, pepper sprayed dogs,
- 21:41Speaker 5: a taser. Eventually a single shot was fired at this
- 21:45Speaker 5: guy by an officer. It hit him in the shoulder.
- 21:47Speaker 5: He's not too badly hurt. He is in custody. We
- 21:50Speaker 5: went to the street yesterday spoke to people living there,
- 21:52Speaker 5: very very frightening, typically quiet area. But what's shocking is
- 21:55Speaker 5: this happened not at midnight Sunday, but midday, in the
- 21:59Speaker 5: middle of the day. This happen when this guy tried
- 22:00Speaker 5: to break into a person's house. He's now due in
- 22:03Speaker 5: court next week. Officers are investigating speaking to locals. Jeez,
- 22:07Speaker 5: how's your weather fine? With stronger wind?
- 22:10Speaker 2: Fourteen? Today's Hi Hie one, Thanks Max, Good morning, Neva,
- 22:13Speaker 2: Good morning. What's going on at the hospital in Woku.
- 22:15Speaker 7: Well, i'll tell you residents of Woku now they want
- 22:19Speaker 7: clarity on the future of the local hospital. This is
- 22:22Speaker 7: Franklin Memorial Hospital because it's still closed after a year.
- 22:26Speaker 7: This is due to urgent repairs on Sunday. You remember
- 22:29Speaker 7: this that sime and Brown health minister. He announced a
- 22:32Speaker 7: one hundred million dollar investment for upgrades on twenty one hospitals,
- 22:36Speaker 7: but Franklin Memorial Hospital was left off the list. Health
- 22:39Speaker 7: New Zealand saying, look, the future use of the building
- 22:42Speaker 7: is still under active consideration. But Gary Holmes, he's a
- 22:46Speaker 7: Franklin local board member, he says, look, they want to
- 22:48Speaker 7: make sure that you know, the rural health facilities aren't overlooked.
- 22:52Speaker 7: So apparently this hospital was effectively bought and owned by
- 22:55Speaker 7: the Woku community many many years ago.
- 22:57Speaker 2: So okay, all right, how's our weather today?
- 22:59Speaker 7: Ended early morning isolated shower as a high of seventeen
- 23:02Speaker 7: today here in Auckland.
- 23:03Speaker 2: Brilliant, Thank you, good to see you. It was always
- 23:05Speaker 2: nineteen minutes away from six. On news talk zb I
- 23:08Speaker 2: saw also the saying an Auckland Perimeter or you know
- 23:11Speaker 2: where the prison is, Parry as they call it. There
- 23:14Speaker 2: they are fast tracking the upgrade or expansion of the
- 23:19Speaker 2: prison and the locals aren't happy. Now, if you live
- 23:22Speaker 2: in PERIMETERMO this morning, you can feel free to text
- 23:24Speaker 2: me on nine two nine two. But if there's a
- 23:27Speaker 2: prison there already, what's a few extra inmates, you know?
- 23:31Speaker 2: Is that is the problem that they're going to build
- 23:33Speaker 2: it higher and wider. But if it's just that there
- 23:37Speaker 2: are going to be more inmates in a prison in
- 23:39Speaker 2: its existing footprint, what's the problem. I mean, I don't
- 23:44Speaker 2: want them in my backyard. But you've already got them,
- 23:47Speaker 2: so you know what I mean. Eighteen to six News
- 23:49Speaker 2: TALKSB Live to Australia next card to six News Talks HEB.
- 23:53Speaker 2: Don't worry if you didn't buy EOS Sports shares before
- 23:56Speaker 2: the Saudis stepped in and you've got a twenty five
- 23:58Speaker 2: percent premium on your share price, hopefully you've got some
- 24:01Speaker 2: money in gold. The gold rush continues. Gold price is
- 24:04Speaker 2: hitting a fresh record high. This continues. I think they're
- 24:08Speaker 2: up now forty five percent this year. Futures up one
- 24:12Speaker 2: percent overnight to three eight hundred and fifty five announced.
- 24:15Speaker 2: This is US. That is a new all time high
- 24:19Speaker 2: for gold investors, obviously, but worried about the weakening dollar
- 24:22Speaker 2: in the US and the potential just potential at this
- 24:25Speaker 2: point for a government shutdown, which is due to happen tomorrow.
- 24:29Speaker 1: International correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance. Peace of mind
- 24:33Speaker 1: for New Zealand business donor.
- 24:35Speaker 2: Demo in Australia for us this morning. Done a good morning,
- 24:38Speaker 2: good morning to you. Good to have you. Now PM's
- 24:41Speaker 2: done a bit of a switcheroo on becoming a republic.
- 24:44Speaker 6: Yes, well, Anthony Eberinezi has previously been quite well an advocate,
- 24:50Speaker 6: let's say, for Australia to become a republic. Now it
- 24:53Speaker 6: does look like he shifted his stance. He's no longer
- 24:56Speaker 6: pushing for as you can imagine, constitutional change, as say.
- 25:01Speaker 6: The PM did meet with the King at the weekend
- 25:05Speaker 6: and he's confirmed, and that's how we know that he
- 25:09Speaker 6: feels differently now that he did not discuss plans to
- 25:12Speaker 6: make Australia a republic with the King when they met
- 25:14Speaker 6: at Balmoral, and that was just at the weekend, as
- 25:19Speaker 6: I said, And he said that he's ruled out holding
- 25:23Speaker 6: an Australian republic referendum while he is Prime Minister. In fact,
- 25:27Speaker 6: he said he only wanted to ever hold one referendum
- 25:30Speaker 6: and that was the one he did in twenty twenty three,
- 25:33Speaker 6: the one that didn't get up in fact, the Indigenous
- 25:35Speaker 6: Voice to Parliament referendum. So he says he's just concentrating
- 25:39Speaker 6: now on a cost of living and making a real
- 25:42Speaker 6: difference to people's life.
- 25:44Speaker 2: Sounds reasonable, doesn't it, especially since you've already kind of
- 25:47Speaker 2: been there, done that. What's the deal with this man
- 25:50Speaker 2: facing charges for a Nazi salote in Queensland?
- 25:54Speaker 6: Yes, well, this individual had previously been charged with giving
- 25:58Speaker 6: a Nazi salute at the al the Australian Football League
- 26:01Speaker 6: semi final at the Gabba in Brisbane. Well, he's been
- 26:05Speaker 6: charged with two new counts of publicly performing a Nazi salute.
- 26:09Speaker 6: He's a thirty nine year old person. He was arrested
- 26:13Speaker 6: by counter terrorism police yesterday.
- 26:15Speaker 8: Now.
- 26:15Speaker 6: One of the new charges allegedly happened in Brisbane Street.
- 26:18Speaker 6: That was just after he was released on bail on
- 26:22Speaker 6: the alleged incident at the footy, and the seven new
- 26:25Speaker 6: charge allegedly happened on a train. He says he's innocent.
- 26:29Speaker 6: He just calling himself an Australian patriot. He does have
- 26:32Speaker 6: a lifetime band. You can no longer go to the football.
- 26:35Speaker 6: But the chargers are well they could be well, he
- 26:39Speaker 6: could be facing up to five years in prison for
- 26:41Speaker 6: what he's been doing.
- 26:42Speaker 2: So charge for the first one, then gets out and
- 26:44Speaker 2: does it again on a train m h twice over
- 26:47Speaker 2: allegedly really doesn't care. Don appreciate that. Don On Demour,
- 26:51Speaker 2: Australia Correspondent. It's twelve to six, Ryan Bridge. The earthquake changes.
- 26:56Speaker 2: Thousands of buildings will no longer be classified as high
- 26:59Speaker 2: rest only three story plus concrete buildings. All those with
- 27:03Speaker 2: unreinforced masonry like brick walls will now require full upgrades.
- 27:08Speaker 2: Then he seal an Institute of Building Survey as President
- 27:10Speaker 2: Daryl august with me this morning, Daryl, good morning.
- 27:13Speaker 11: Good morning, Ryan.
- 27:14Speaker 2: How are you good? Good? Thank you. Thoughts on this.
- 27:17Speaker 11: Look at obviously a positive move for a lot of
- 27:20Speaker 11: owners in New Zealand that you know, crippled with the
- 27:26Speaker 11: fact that they're going to have to spend a lot
- 27:27Speaker 11: of money where we're going to have to spend a
- 27:28Speaker 11: lot of money on their buildings to upgrade them. However,
- 27:31Speaker 11: we do have some concerns around just making sure that
- 27:34Speaker 11: we don't go too far and making sure that you
- 27:37Speaker 11: know the right measures are in place. Still, the removal
- 27:40Speaker 11: of the need to look at other building elements such
- 27:46Speaker 11: as fire and accessibility does concern us somewhat, and I
- 27:50Speaker 11: think when I read through the media release it does
- 27:56Speaker 11: confuse me slightly where it says that owners won't need
- 27:59Speaker 11: to address those items, But then it also says that
- 28:01Speaker 11: the territorial authority will still need to check those items.
- 28:05Speaker 11: So the two don't really match at the moment, But
- 28:09Speaker 11: obviously the devil's in the detail. When we see more,
- 28:11Speaker 11: we'll be able to tell what the consequences are of
- 28:15Speaker 11: those changes.
- 28:17Speaker 2: So you're saying it's not necessarily the earthquake stuff, but
- 28:20Speaker 2: it's what fire escapes and wheelchair ramps and stuff.
- 28:25Speaker 11: Well, look, accessibility is obviously a concern for people who
- 28:29Speaker 11: require accessibility means to enter a building, but in terms
- 28:33Speaker 11: of fire, that's a pretty critical safety item within a building,
- 28:36Speaker 11: fire performance alarms and passifire requirements. So generally with a
- 28:45Speaker 11: seismic upgrade to a building, there would be other building
- 28:48Speaker 11: elements that do require remediation as well, and that's quite common.
- 28:54Speaker 11: So what the government's looking to do here is remove
- 28:58Speaker 11: the need to upgrade those systems. I'm not sure exactly
- 29:04Speaker 11: how much detail there is at the moment on what
- 29:06Speaker 11: that all looks like, but a standard approach of a
- 29:10Speaker 11: mediation of assignment building or a building of sigemic issues
- 29:13Speaker 11: would be that you know, a fire engineer would be
- 29:15Speaker 11: involved to do it. Gap analysis report of the building
- 29:18Speaker 11: and be able to tell the owners how it complies
- 29:22Speaker 11: currently with the Building Code and what it may need
- 29:25Speaker 11: to do to comply with any other provisions of the
- 29:29Speaker 11: Building Code.
- 29:29Speaker 2: Now, all the changes that they have made on earthquakes,
- 29:33Speaker 2: where does that put us in terms of global rankings?
- 29:36Speaker 2: You know, how safe would the buildings be here and
- 29:40Speaker 2: relative to earthquake risk versus other places.
- 29:43Speaker 11: Look, I wouldn't be able to say. I don't work internationally,
- 29:48Speaker 11: so you know my expertise is in New Zealand. What
- 29:52Speaker 11: I would say is that I do have some concern
- 29:56Speaker 11: about the removal of seismic upgrade to buildings and low
- 30:00Speaker 11: risk areas. I suppose I did hear something on your
- 30:03Speaker 11: news bulletin earlier today where somebody was talking about if
- 30:08Speaker 11: you remove those requirements in low risk areas, what happens
- 30:13Speaker 11: if something happened similar to what happened in Australia a
- 30:15Speaker 11: few years ago in a low risk area where it
- 30:17Speaker 11: earthquake did it? And so when we look at Auckland,
- 30:22Speaker 11: and I'm not trying to scaremonger here, but if something
- 30:25Speaker 11: did happen in Auckland that could significantly cripple our country.
- 30:29Speaker 11: So I think building owners need to be cognizant of
- 30:35Speaker 11: the changes and if they feel that there are things
- 30:37Speaker 11: that need to be done to their building, there is
- 30:39Speaker 11: nothing stopping them doing work to their building if they
- 30:42Speaker 11: are concerned about it.
- 30:44Speaker 2: Darrell, appreciate your time. Darryl August, who's with the New
- 30:47Speaker 2: Zealand Institute of Building Survey as their president. It is
- 30:51Speaker 2: eight minutes away from six.
- 30:56Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio edition with Ryan
- 31:01Speaker 1: Bridge and one roof Love where you Live News.
- 31:05Speaker 2: Talks ed B six to six News Talks said be
- 31:07Speaker 2: Denmark's justiceman As has come out overnight and said the
- 31:10Speaker 2: hybrid attacks from Russia where they think it's from Russia,
- 31:12Speaker 2: you know, the drones and you've got the fighter jets
- 31:15Speaker 2: and the incursions into EU airspace, well, he said it's
- 31:19Speaker 2: comparing it to nine to eleven in the US, saying
- 31:22Speaker 2: it's going to become the new normal. And Denmark is
- 31:24Speaker 2: due to hold the EU Summit on Wednesday, which may
- 31:27Speaker 2: have something to do with it. That's being affected. Sweden
- 31:30Speaker 2: sending in some antidrone equipment to help them out anyway.
- 31:33Speaker 2: It is five to two and Mike, Ryan, Mike's in
- 31:37Speaker 2: the studio Morning, Mike morning, good to see you. What's
- 31:39Speaker 2: going on today?
- 31:40Speaker 13: Well, I mean a whole bunch of stuff. The stats
- 31:44Speaker 13: have you done the health stats this morning? I mean,
- 31:46Speaker 13: if something goes from seventy one point three percent to
- 31:49Speaker 13: seventy two point six, is that I mean, is that
- 31:51Speaker 13: a thing?
- 31:52Speaker 2: Statistically?
- 31:53Speaker 13: I mean statistically is that? I mean? How many people
- 31:55Speaker 13: did they put in the department yesterday to run through
- 31:57Speaker 13: those numbers to be able to put out a press release?
- 32:00Speaker 13: We go, Oh my god, that's incredible. I'm assuming someone
- 32:03Speaker 13: somewhere feels better about the health system.
- 32:05Speaker 2: Finally, even Rob Campbell did this morning.
- 32:07Speaker 13: Well, I mean it's I mean, you can't ague the
- 32:09Speaker 13: number is good, so that that part's encouraging. But this
- 32:11Speaker 13: Southern Cross thing this morning, Yes, three point eight million
- 32:16Speaker 13: claims last year. So do you know how many insurance
- 32:19Speaker 13: companies there are in this country? Twenty four So there's
- 32:22Speaker 13: actually eighty something number of insurers, but they've all coalesced around,
- 32:26Speaker 13: So there's twenty four insurance companies in this country. The
- 32:29Speaker 13: Southern Cross obviously the biggest, but three point Just think
- 32:32Speaker 13: about how many of this are there. There's a bit
- 32:34Speaker 13: of five points something virtually everyone each year makes a
- 32:38Speaker 13: medical claim of some description, and they're paying out well
- 32:41Speaker 13: in excess. It's heading towards two billion dollars. And there's
- 32:44Speaker 13: something not right about.
- 32:45Speaker 2: Two and a half thousand new knees. Two and a
- 32:47Speaker 2: half Well, I mean that.
- 32:50Speaker 13: I mean, if you want to go back to Simmon Brown,
- 32:51Speaker 13: who we got on the program, I mean, that's how
- 32:52Speaker 13: you do. It doesn't If you want to up the
- 32:54Speaker 13: number of things, what you do is go cataracts, because
- 32:57Speaker 13: all you do is you put money as nies a
- 32:59Speaker 13: big and hips are big, but cataracts are easy. So
- 33:02Speaker 13: you go, right, how do we increase the number of
- 33:04Speaker 13: operations or procedures?
- 33:05Speaker 2: Will do?
- 33:05Speaker 13: Let's set aside a few million dollars for some cataracts.
- 33:08Speaker 13: Bang and you suddenly your numbers are eaten into you.
- 33:10Speaker 2: Yeah. I think we had a text to this morning
- 33:12Speaker 2: saying with the ed wait times, they reckon that if
- 33:15Speaker 2: from the time you go into the time that you
- 33:18Speaker 2: are discharged, that should be ede wait time. But they
- 33:21Speaker 2: reckon they count it from when you see the specialist
- 33:24Speaker 2: or see the doctor, so it doesn't actually count the
- 33:26Speaker 2: time you wait.
- 33:27Speaker 13: The whole thing's manipulated. But do you feel I mean,
- 33:29Speaker 13: I had a family member this week. You had a procedure,
- 33:31Speaker 13: for example, just a very minor procedure. But the place,
- 33:34Speaker 13: it's like a factory in there. It's like there's hundreds
- 33:37Speaker 13: of people waiting, just being ping.
- 33:39Speaker 2: But there's so many older people who need it, so well,
- 33:42Speaker 2: clearly there is.
- 33:43Speaker 13: But I mean, what's the matter with where was last
- 33:44Speaker 13: time you had a medical procedure? Exactly?
- 33:47Speaker 2: Yeah, I couldn't tell you, but I'm young, and mats.
- 33:49Speaker 13: Well exactly look at you anyway, we look at all of.
