  Speaker 3: Morning to you and thank you for joining us and
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: listening to the program coming up in the next hour.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Local water done well is going to cost nine billion
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: dollars more than estimated, so we're going to ask where
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: it's bought out and is it still better than three waters.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: We'll have that story in five. There's a warning we
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: might be making a bit too much milk that story
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: in ten. With the United States cracking down on tourists
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: social media, is it worth even thinking about going there?
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: And now the primary principles are complaining about their pay deal,
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: so what do they want? That story? Just before six,
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: we'll go to the UK and Europe with Vincent McAvennie.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: We'll have correspondence fro right around New Zealand and news
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: as it breaks and you can have your say on
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: the text. There is a small charge and the number
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: is ninety two ninety two and it's seven after.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Five the agenda.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: It's Friday, the Traith December. US forces have seized an
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela. Attorney General Pam Bondi,
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: who leads the US Department of Justice, said the vessel
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: was transporting sanctioned oil from Venezuela to where it a'm.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: This appears to have been a special operations group that
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: landed by helicopter on the deck. Once they're on the deck,
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: they would go up to the bridge to take control.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: The crews have been trained not to resist, so this
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: although the troops were armed, this rarely involves any violence.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: So that's a bit of a sharp escalation in the
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: increasingly tense relationship between the two countries, Venezuela and the
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: United States of America. And speaking of Venezuela, the opposition
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: leader Maria Coarina Machado, the one who won the Nobel
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: Peace Prize, she's been hiding for months. Well, she arrived
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: in Oslo to pick up a prize, and she told
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: the BBC she knows exactly the risks of turning up
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: to Oslo, but went anyway, appearing in the dead of
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: the night waving from a hotel balcony. And it's the
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: first time she's been seen in public since January.
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: I know exactly the risks I'm taken, and what upset
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: for the Venessulana people from the beginning is I'm going
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: to be in the place where I am more useful
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: for our costs. And until very short time ago, the
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: place where I thought I had to be was Venezuela.
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: The place where I believe I have to be today
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: on behalf of our cast is Oslo.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: And by the way, while she was there, she approved
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: of the US action against the oil tanker. And finally,
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: are you m into? Lest they say, there we go?
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Remember that as the thing so on from the Hunger Games,
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutchinson and look said to return
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: to the Hunger Games for next year's prequel. They haven't
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: been together. They haven't teamed up since Mocking Jpart two,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: but US magazines are reporting Lawrence is Becca's catonus Hutcheson
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: is back as Peter. The new Hunger Games film is
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: called Sunrise on the Reaping, and can I just say
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: I never expected much from the Hunger Games films franchise,
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: but I loved all of them and I'm looking forward
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: to the new one. It is now nine nine outter five.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: News and Views. You Trust to start your day. It's
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: earlier This ship with Andrew Dickins and r V Supercenter
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: explore r VS excess or reasonts servicing fall in one
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: news talks, that'd.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Be we all got some fudge in the post yesterday.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: The Taxpayers Union yesterday launched a brand of fudge called
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Nichola's Fudge to call out what they say as the
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: government's growing habit of sugar coating fiscal truths. It's a
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: new campaign calling for more austerity from Nikola Willis by
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: the Taxpayers Union. They say that Nikola is cutting spending.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Oh no, sorry, they say Nikola Willis is saying she
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: cuts spending and trimming the fat and bringing fiscal discipline
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: back to the government. But when you look closely, it's
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: less responsible budgeting and more creative fudging. And I guess
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: they have a point when spending keeps gone going up
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: and so does how borrowing, even while the government does
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: cut jobs and services and infrastructure investment. So the easy
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: argument is to say, if the cuts haven't worked, just
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: cut more. And I think at the heart of the
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: argument that's exactly what the Taxpayers Union are saying. But
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: economies are not really that simple. I'd argue that this
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: government is not guilty of cutting too little, but cutting
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: possibly the wrong stuff. And if you want a good
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: example of that, ask anyone in the construction industry how
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: the government's cuts have hollowed them out, and then look
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: at the impact of that on the wider economy and
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: the ability for us to build our way out of
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: the whole.
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: Anyway.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Look, the Union is chaired by Ruth Richardson, who famously
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: gave us the Mother of All budgets back in nineteen
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: ninety one, a budget that cut spending and introduced user pays.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Is a big, old hard budget which did fix some
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: of our economic problems, but it was unpopular and that
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: unpopularity coupled with rising unemployment, nearly costs National the nineteen
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: ninety three election. It also sparked with the first part
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: of the post system, and look at that we ended
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: up choosing MMP. The Mother of All budgets hurt poor
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: and vulnerable people so much it earned Ruth's economic strategy
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: the nickname Ruth thin Nasia, which I guess says at
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: all and people forget that poor and vulnerable peoples have
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: votes too. Now, this battle between Nichola and Ruth is
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: ideological between Ruth's view that you have to burn the
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: village to save the village and Nichola's view that if
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: you burn a little bit of the village, what's left
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: will growing value and one year out from an election,
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: I think that's harmful. It's dividing the right and that
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: plays into the hands of the left. And I actually
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: quite like what David Seymour said yesterday when he was
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: asked about it. He said, it's like my sister's arguing
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: with my auntie and that never makes for a good
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Christmas z me. By the way, I hate their ai ad.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: It's not authentic, it's not real. I know it's just
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: like the dancing Cossacks for twenty twenty five, but I
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: still I just.
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: Don't like it.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Now, Local Water done well as the National Party plan
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: to fix our water infrastructure, and they always said Sarmon
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: always said this is going to be a lot cheaper
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: than the big centralized three Waters plan. Well, the all
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: the costings have come back. Apparently it's going to cost
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: nine billion dollars more than we thought. So what's gone on,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: what's blown out? And is it still better than three Waters?
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: We'll find out next here on News Talks.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: AB the news you Need this morning and the in
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: depth analysis earlier edition with Andrew Dickens and our the
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Supercenter explore our these accessories and servicing fall in one
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: News Talks at b.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: It's a quarter after five. So local Water done Well
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: is going to cost nine billion dollars more than previously estimated.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: The total investment will come to forty seven point nine
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: billion dollars. The local government Minister Simon Watt says this
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: just shows that water projects have been underfunded. They can't
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: wait any longer. We have to spend the money. So
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: the Water New Zealand Chief executive Officer is Gillian Blythe
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: and she joins me this morning. Good morning to you, Gillian,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: good morning. Why is it blown out?
• 7:03
  Speaker 8: Why is it blown out? Because over the last two
• 7:07
  Speaker 8: to three decades across the country, councils have been trying
• 7:12
  Speaker 8: to juggle their many demands on their on their budgets
• 7:15
  Speaker 8: and investment and water infrastructure has not kept pace with
• 7:19
  Speaker 8: what was required. So they haven't been as muss renewals
• 7:23
  Speaker 8: of the pets and they haven't been as much required
• 7:26
  Speaker 8: in terms of looking out of the treatment plan.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: So it's brue. So it's brutal evidence that we have
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: had decades of under investment in water infrastructure and eventually
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: you have to pay the bill.
• 7:35
  Speaker 8: You're absolutely right that what what the challenge that was
• 7:39
  Speaker 8: provided to councils through this, through this reform process was
• 7:44
  Speaker 8: to submit a water service delivery plan that would show
• 7:48
  Speaker 8: that they were financially sustainable, that they were going to
• 7:51
  Speaker 8: meet regulatory compliance, that they would be able to deliver
• 7:55
  Speaker 8: on the housing growth and the urban developments that were
• 7:57
  Speaker 8: required in their neighborhoods. And so that's what's seen across
• 8:03
  Speaker 8: you know, detailed you know financials for for a ten
• 8:07
  Speaker 8: year period, and then it's some extra information for the
• 8:10
  Speaker 8: next thirty that is seen from all councils providing what
• 8:14
  Speaker 8: they need to spend on the neurals, what they need
• 8:16
  Speaker 8: to spend off glowth and what we need to across
• 8:19
  Speaker 8: drinking water, wastewater and stormwater.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: Have you seen the plan and does it look good?
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: And will we notice a difference so all of.
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: The plans, Well, let me just go. So you've got
• 8:30
  Speaker 8: sixty seven councils that have submitted. I think the last
• 8:34
  Speaker 8: time I went and looked at the website, there are
• 8:35
  Speaker 8: about fifty four plans that are on the website. We've
• 8:39
  Speaker 8: got more visibility now about the state of water infrastructure
• 8:44
  Speaker 8: than we've had probably ever. We will be able. I mean,
• 8:48
  Speaker 8: I've got people that are that are doing analysis of
• 8:50
  Speaker 8: the plans at the moment, which that you can you know,
• 8:53
  Speaker 8: you'll be able to say, you know, what's happening in
• 8:55
  Speaker 8: the lower set, what's happening in there, you know, the
• 8:58
  Speaker 8: shop of the North, et cetera, to be able to
• 9:01
  Speaker 8: look at what's going to be required.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Okay, so look, the basic model is actually similar to
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: three Waters, but it had a voluntary aspect of no
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: centralization and of course no co governance. And we were
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: always told that local water done well will be cheaper
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: than the big monster that was going to be three Waters.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Can you compare the two Is it still cheaper than
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: three Waters would have been, even though it has burned
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: out by nine billion dollars and the whole thing is
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: forty seven point nine billion, I think, you know, as always.
• 9:30
  Speaker 8: Is the case with this, you know, you would be
• 9:32
  Speaker 8: carefully comparing an apple with an apple. Some of the
• 9:35
  Speaker 8: figures that you saw under the labor proposals, where you know,
• 9:39
  Speaker 8: some of the big headline figures were sort of one
• 9:41
  Speaker 8: hundred and twenty one hundred and eighty billion, but that
• 9:43
  Speaker 8: was over thirty years.
• 9:44
  Speaker 7: This is over that.
• 9:46
  Speaker 8: The figures of forty seven point nine billion or forty
• 9:48
  Speaker 8: eight billion are over the first ten years. You know,
• 9:51
  Speaker 8: we're going to want the wants the you know, in
• 9:54
  Speaker 8: some cases the nineteen council controlled organizations sort have come together,
• 9:58
  Speaker 8: either a single soores or multi councils that have come together,
• 10:02
  Speaker 8: are rather than going to be looking at what it
• 10:03
  Speaker 8: means for those districts, as will the in house business units.
• 10:07
  Speaker 8: So we're going to discover what's actually required, and then
• 10:10
  Speaker 8: we've got to come together and see whether we can
• 10:13
  Speaker 8: continue to find more efficiencies and more ways of leveraging
• 10:17
  Speaker 8: the strength that exists across different councils provisions.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: At the moment, Yeah, when I saw some articles and
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: some news wild back comparing the ten year plan versus
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: the thirty year plan and the forty seven point nine
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: million if you expand that over three and they started
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: looking at the cost of it all, and they started saying, well,
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: it looks like local water done well is going to
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: cost even more than three waters. But is that because
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: the infrastructure is more expensive.
• 10:43
  Speaker 8: I think the more you know, look just in the
• 10:46
  Speaker 8: same way as you look at your own heart, you know,
• 10:47
  Speaker 8: the more you look at it, the more you realize
• 10:49
  Speaker 8: that you've got to spend a bit of money on
• 10:51
  Speaker 8: you know, painting that window or fixing that roop. What's
• 10:55
  Speaker 8: happened is that there has been a real focus on
• 10:59
  Speaker 8: ensuring registry compliants. We've got wastewater treatment plants across the country,
• 11:03
  Speaker 8: you know, many who are We've got frend and dirty
• 11:06
  Speaker 8: that are council owned, many of which are on expired
• 11:10
  Speaker 8: consents and leading upgrades. And so once you start looking
• 11:14
  Speaker 8: at those sorts of things, you've got to work out,
• 11:16
  Speaker 8: you know, right, you know, is there remodular solution, is
• 11:20
  Speaker 8: there technologies?
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: And all I get that, I get that it's only
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: going to get more and more expensive. And I thank
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: you so much for your time today. That is the
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Water New Zealand Chief Executive Jillian blythe my thanks to
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: the texture, has said, too many councils have really old
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: pipes that should have been replaced progressively over the years.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: You're exactly right.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Five twenty three, The first word on the News of
• 11:37

• 11:45
  Speaker 1: US talks that'd be.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: So over the past year. Thank god for the milk prices, right,
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: dairy prices well. A new report from rubber Banks says
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: maybe there's too much milk for the market. Global dairy
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: prices are under pressure after surging New Zealand production through
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: the back half of the year, and rubber Banks says
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: global dairy prices are set to weaken. Farmers have been
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: breaking records month after month. May through September. October hit
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: the third highest output ever. So joining us is doctor JACKEYL.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: And Rath, a professor at Lincoln University. Good on to you,
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: to Jack on good morning, So what's behind the increase
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: of production effect you've described? This report describes the global
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: increase as stunning.
• 12:23
  Speaker 9: It's been building up for a while, and it's because
• 12:26
  Speaker 9: milk is a very good product and people want to
• 12:28
  Speaker 9: consume it, and it's good for so many different things,
• 12:31
  Speaker 9: and people sometimes forget the calcium various vitiments, so it's
• 12:35
  Speaker 9: wanted an increase in people around the world. It means
• 12:40
  Speaker 9: that they're looking for high quality protein, so milk's about
• 12:44
  Speaker 9: the best thing you can do. And for the protein,
• 12:47
  Speaker 9: the amino acids, in particular the ones we need, it's
• 12:50
  Speaker 9: about the most environmentally it is the most environmentally sensible
• 12:56
  Speaker 9: food you can consume.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: So go for at milk, yeah, exactly. So as the
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: price and is of course the farmers say, oh, well,
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: let's pump out some more milk, but then that depresses
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: the prices.
• 13:05
  Speaker 10: Well, this is a.
• 13:06
  Speaker 9: Global thing, not just New Zealand, and certainly we have
• 13:11
  Speaker 9: been responding to signals about producing more milk, but their
• 13:15
  Speaker 9: world and other countries can do it more quickly than
• 13:17
  Speaker 9: we can because they aren't on seasonal production in the
• 13:20
  Speaker 9: same way that we are matching the grass curve. They
• 13:24
  Speaker 9: they eat supplements. So our milk is in demand because
• 13:27
  Speaker 9: it's glass feed.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: But this is not great use for farmers. Well, I
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: mean no, I had to put it into some sort
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: of context because at the moment it's brilliant for farmers.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: So this is less brilliant.
• 13:37
  Speaker 9: Now it's come off the peak at the moment, and
• 13:41
  Speaker 9: we'll see what happens next to you. But always farmers
• 13:44
  Speaker 9: have an eye on the cost of production. So at
• 13:47
  Speaker 9: the moment and for a while across the sector, So
• 13:50
  Speaker 9: I'm talking dry stop as well. People have wanted consumers
• 13:54
  Speaker 9: have been prepared to pay more for our product than
• 13:58
  Speaker 9: the cost of producing it. So we keep an eye
• 14:01
  Speaker 9: on the cost of production, and it's the margins. We
• 14:04
  Speaker 9: should always be looking at the difference for doing cost
• 14:06
  Speaker 9: of production and what people are prepared to pay, and
• 14:08
  Speaker 9: that stuff like trying to sell a house. When people
• 14:11
  Speaker 9: want our product, we feel good about it, but then
• 14:14
  Speaker 9: the jawy spreads in other countries start producing it.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: To course, we know it swings and round about absolutely.

  Speaker 3: what are they thinking? There's more details of their social

• 14:55
  Speaker 3: love America and it's people, but if I have to
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: jump through all those hoops, my first reaction is to
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: forget it. The Land of the Free is no longer
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: the land of the free speech. Say the wrong thing
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: on social media, they may cancel you. This is worse
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: than anything under Biden and Obama. It's cancel culture writ large.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: And the irony is so dumb because if you really
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: are an enemy of the States, you've already canceled all
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: your social media. This is going to cancel the tourists
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: and not the terrorists instead. I'll probably get canceled because
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: I've said this. Here's the other bonkers thing that I
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: heard yesterday out of Trump's America. Marca Rubio halted the
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: State Department's official use of the typeface Calibri. He called
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: the whole font wasteful and ordered the return of Times
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: New Roman. He called it as part of a push
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: to stamp out diversity. Now, I thought, how does that work? Well, Apparently,
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: back in twenty twenty three, Anthony Blincoln ordered the typeface
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: changed to Calibri to improve accessibility for readers with disabilities.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: If you've got low vision or dyslexia and people who
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: use screen readers, it's easier to read, and that is
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: in fact true. It was invented for people with low vision.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: And the way it's Microsoft Officer's default font, and apparently
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: it works. But apparently it's also woke. So America's going
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: back to Times New Roman. And the left says, of
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: course they're going back to Times New Roman. Meg is
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: obsessed with all things Roman. Now, this would all just
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: be a bit funny. You know, I just change the font.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: If it wasn't actually so expensive, you'd think you just
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: have to ask everyone changing default font, Off we go.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: But no, Apparently teams are going to have to check
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: every little unit. And apparently that's one hundred and forty
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: five thousand dollars an agency, and there's a lot of
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: agencies in American bureaucracy. And here's the thing. Times New
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Roman takes more ink, and then when you calculate the
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: sheer volume of wordage being printed out of the American state,
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: the cost actually mounts into many millions. The right off
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: and complain about the cost of crazy left wing ideology,
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: seemingly blessfully unaware that their jest is ideologically crazy, said
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: be by the way I write with Calibri. I wrote
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: this editorium with Calibri. It looks more like twenty twenty
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: five than Times New Roman, which looks like the font
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: my great grandfather knew.
• 17:09
  Speaker 7: But there we go.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: Take three on water infrastructure of councils. Stop spending money
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: on things like climate change, speed bubs, culture in the
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: cycle lanes, and any spending on anything beyond councils basics
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: that it will be easy to meet water upgrade costs.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: I think you might want to have a look at
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: your council budget and see just exactly how much they
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: do spend on water and roads and everything, and then
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: compared with what they spend on cycle lanes and culture,
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: and you'll realize that they spend very little on that.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: It's a bigger problem than that easy answer. Hey, on
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: the way, Vincent Macavenni out of the UK, we'll go
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: run around the country and before sex the primary school
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: principles are not happy with there.
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: They just pay deal on.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: Tell you why good.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Andrew
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Dickens and are the Supercenter explore are these excess its
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: results servicing all in one news talk.
• 18:02
  Speaker 8: Said be.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: That's not Michael. Is it Michael Jackson? There's not Michael Jackson.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: That's another kid. It is, My goodness me, he's even
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: higher than I thought. They forget Santa Claus is coming
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: to town.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: That's true.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: What's also true, as the second Test continues in Wellington,
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: it's a kracket. The basis is definitely our best ground,
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: followed by Hagley Obal. What's also true is Awk and
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: the f C play the Central Coast Mariness tonight at
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: nine thirty five pm. In Australia, the Phoenix play the
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: Jets Sunday at three and Wellington and the Breakers play
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: the Melbourne Phoenix tomorrow at ten pm and Australia. Now,
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: The New York Times has published their call on the
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: best comedy of twenty twenty five, and they reckon the
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: best special is by a guy called Roy Woods Junior,
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: and it's on Hulu. And I've never heard of Roy
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: Wood Junior, so I've had a look into it. He
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: used to be on The Daily Show a couple of
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: years ago, and this special that he's done, which apparently
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: is enormously funny, is a State of the Nation's special,
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: and in it he laments the decline of phone calls,
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: and I am so with that man. People keep texting
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: me and I keep phoning them back, and they go,
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: why are you phoning back, you old man? I said, Actually,
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: I get a lot more information through and I get
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: I find out executly what you mean a lot better
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: when I give you when I talk to you. We're humans,
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: we talk. So I'm right with Roywood. There he complains
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: about the rise of self checkout. Ah, this man's a genius.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: Here he talks about the brittle state of middle age friendship.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: He sees alarming evidence of fray connections everywhere, even customer
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: service at a gun range. As he says, about customer
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: service at a gun range, how are you going to
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: be rude to somebody who's just showed up to practice murder?
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: But cha, his name is Roy Wood Junior, and the
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: specialists out on Hulu. Find out wherever you can find
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: it is twenty two to six, said, be around the
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: country we go. Callum Proctor joins us from Otago Halla,
• 19:55

• 19:58
  Speaker 3: the nationwide technical institutes, at technical institutes are coming back

• 20:28
  Speaker 11: The mere. Tom Campbell says Graduation Lane shows the Institute
• 20:32
  Speaker 11: is back where it belongs, locally, lead and delivering local
• 20:35
  Speaker 11: benefits and shaping local futures. He says today's celebration honors
• 20:39
  Speaker 11: those students and the autonomy that south Enders fought.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: To get back.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: Good stuff. How's your weather for the weekend?
• 20:46
  Speaker 11: Well, for today, a few showers about dannedan mainly fine
• 20:50
  Speaker 11: eighteen the heighth.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: Lovely self and I thank you? Do you crazy as
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: we go? Emily answer good morning to you?
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: Good morning.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: And Canterbury gets some new helicopters.
• 20:57
  Speaker 12: That's right, a brand new wist Pack rescue helicopter taking
• 21:00
  Speaker 12: flight across Canterbury and the West Coast. It's the first
• 21:03
  Speaker 12: of three upgraded choppers. With a larger cabin, tail cameras
• 21:06
  Speaker 12: and weather radar to help crews avoid dangerous conditions. It's
• 21:10
  Speaker 12: part of a major fundraising campaign to transform the rescue
• 21:13
  Speaker 12: helicopter service. Critical Care Flight paramedic Scott Meres says it'll
• 21:17
  Speaker 12: give paramedics better access to patients and boost safety on
• 21:21
  Speaker 12: every mission. He says, the team is really enthusiastic about
• 21:24
  Speaker 12: these aircrafts and see it as a chance to improve
• 21:27
  Speaker 12: their work.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: Great enough, and how's your weather?
• 21:28
  Speaker 12: Occasional showers easing before dawn, then clearing to find in
• 21:31
  Speaker 12: the afternoon, southerly is easing in the evening and today's
• 21:34
  Speaker 12: high is also eighteen degrees.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: All right to Wellington we go, Max Tod, Good morning
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: to you. What a great test.
• 21:40
  Speaker 8: Good morning.
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it looks looks like we could be over by
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: Saturday lunchtime almost.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: Oh you're such an optimist. Hey, so speaking about being optimistic.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: The second supercity amalgamation talks to underway in the Wellington region.
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah, mehers in Wellington and why did APPA have met
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: now to talk amalgamation in terms of this region as well?
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: Upper Hut seems the only sticking point. They don't think
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: it would benefit them to throw their lot in with
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: the City, Lower Hut Podder and all the different wided
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: apper regional entities. But next year does look like when
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: things will kick up A not sure. That's when there'll
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: be engagement with the government, then consultation with the public.
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: That's the way it works. Regional councils are already on
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: the way out. A majority, not a large majority, but
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: a majority nonetheless does want amalgamation. In terms of the
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: public it feels inevitable, especially as water costs keep climbing.
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: The future of public transport, at least in this region
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: is still relatively unclear. We don't have trains most of
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: the time on the weekend because of all the maintenance
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: work that needs to be done. So this new Wellington
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: Mayoral Forum has been set up, chaired by Andrew Little.
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: It's met and it'll meet again early twenty twenty six.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: Orkin love to super City. I'm sure Wellington will II.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: How's your winner?
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, A little cloud this morning, but clearing by this afternoon.
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: Southerly's just sixteen the high and.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: I think you need a britty man who joins us
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: from Auckland for the last time this year.
• 23:01
  Speaker 13: Happy Friday, Happy Friday. I'm so happy.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the Christmas party is. The Christmas party is this afternoon.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: But you're not coming because you're out of the As
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: soon as you finish, you're gone.
• 23:11
  Speaker 13: No, no seven, I shall walk out that door. I'm
• 23:14
  Speaker 13: flying to New Plymouth actually this afternoon, just for the weekend.
• 23:17
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: Well, speaking about flying, we've got news about in New Zealand.
• 23:20
  Speaker 13: Yes, look, it's giving traveler's something new to look forward
• 23:23
  Speaker 13: to this summer.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Now, what is it.
• 23:24
  Speaker 13: It's unveiling its new Auckland International Airport. It's called the
• 23:28
  Speaker 13: Lookout Lounge. Now, this lounge is going to be open
• 23:30
  Speaker 13: daily during peak travel. This is from five am until
• 23:33
  Speaker 13: ten am and then again three thirty pm to nine
• 23:36
  Speaker 13: fifteen pm. Now this will be operating alongside the Koodoo
• 23:40
  Speaker 13: Lounge in the summer holiday season. So yeah, randoms can't
• 23:44
  Speaker 13: go with there obviously. Yeah, you can look out of
• 23:47
  Speaker 13: you see.
• 23:48
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I think so.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: I remember the old days is the basic terminal had
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: a lookout point and every time you went out there,
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: you just dancing, run up there and have a block
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: and you look at all the planes.
• 23:56
  Speaker 11: It was fun.
• 23:57
  Speaker 10: It was fun.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: And they got rid of them.
• 23:58
  Speaker 13: They're all right, Yeah, a lot of people used to
• 24:01
  Speaker 13: go there and have a wee see right, Not that you.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: Care about the weather in Auckland because you're going to
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: New Plymouth, but how's the weather in Auckland.
• 24:07
  Speaker 13: Well, for all those Christmas parties, our Christmas party today,
• 24:10
  Speaker 13: it's going to be fine, fine, fine. There's not a sign,
• 24:13
  Speaker 13: not a little bit of rain today, so that is
• 24:15
  Speaker 13: good news. Just a little bit of cloud morning and
• 24:18
  Speaker 13: evening cloud.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: I think we're going to need that.
• 24:19
  Speaker 13: Twenty three is the high slightly cooler than the earlier
• 24:23
  Speaker 13: temperatures of twenty eight during the week, and.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: I thank you now. A text through from someone about
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: America because we're about to go to Vincent macavenny to
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: talk UK, Europe and the Texas says, why have we
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: not been hearing the news the huge announcement from the
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: Fed Reserve because yesterday, of course we had a one
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: point two five percent rate cut. But actually the textas says,
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: what was more important is that they are announcing that
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: quantitative easing is restarting.
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: And you know what that is.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: That's money, money buying money, you know, it's what we did,
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: and they're going to commence bond buying, money printing, that's
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: what I meant to say. They're going to commence bond
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: buying again. And as the textas says, this forces liquidity
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: into markets and rises the shed It's dramatically and check
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: out the price of gold and silver this morning. And
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: most are totally unaware that this is happening now. And
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: that might be true about today, but they have been
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: signaling this for about a month now. And here Interesting
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: Times seventeen to six to UK and Europe.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Knicks International correspondence with ins and Eye Insurance, Peace of
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand Business four into six.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: Vincent mcavinny is out of the UK and Europe. Wanting
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: to you, Vincent.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Good morning.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: So big burgery Bristol Museum.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. More than six hundred artifacts of significant
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: cultural value have been stolen from the British Empire and
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: Commonwealth Connection collection. A group of four men were spotted
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: on CCTV raiding one of the museum's storage sites. And
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: it's the latest in objects going missing from European museums.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Of course, we had that Louver heist of the Duels
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: a few months ago, and the British Museum here at
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: London as well has had numerous items in recent years stolen,
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: some by members of staff. So call for increased protections
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: on these museum hordes to make sure they stay safe
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: for the public.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, while more, ADDI badie with the Eurovision Song
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: contest because Israel is competing.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. Last week we saw Spain, Ireland, Slovenia
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: and the Netherlands pull out after they attempted to get
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Israel kicked out of the competition. Israel will be staying in.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: They'll be competing. Those countries have all withdrawn their acts
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: and withdrawn their funding, and they've been joined today by Iceland,
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: which is normally quite a strong competitor in the competition.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: They've said that they will not join the seventieth anniversary
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: competition next May. So guys, there's room for New Zealand
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: if you want to send someone up.
• 26:45
  Speaker 8: Well.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: I actually have a problem with Australia competing in the
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: past as well. I mean, it's called Eurovision for a reason. Vincent,
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: and I thank you for your time today, Vincent Mecavinie
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: out of the UK. Meanwhile, the big news overnight is
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: that Ukraine delivered its response to the US drafted peace
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: proposal the war to with Russia. After a series of
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: consultations with Kiev. At a meeting of Moscow, the twenty
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: eight point plan was winnowed down to twenty points, meant
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: to make it more palatable to both parties. It's among
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: a set of three documents being negotiated, along with one
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: on security guarantees and another on economic recovery. And the
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: discussions are ongoing and it's unclear what changes, if any,
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: that Kiev made to the documents in its latest response,
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: But I mean it's progressing. More to come this weekend
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: with Donald Trump and Europe.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Maybe.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: Meanwhile, here's something chilling, chilling for you. Last night, NATO's
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: Secretary General Mark Rutte gave a stark warning in a
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: speech in Berlin. He said, we are Russia's next target.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: We have to be crystal clear about the threat. We
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: are Russia's next target. We are already in harm's way.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: Merry Christmas and let's pray for a happy new year.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: US talksz'd be eleven to six to glove from the
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: secondary teacher's pay deal has vatus pretty quickly because now
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: the primary principles back in the ring. They've rejected the
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: government's four point six pay rise, a four point six
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: percent pay rise, and they want what the secondary principles got,
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: and what they got was a fifteen thousand dollars curriculum change.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: A balance. Karl Vasov, the principal of robin Dale Primary School, Carlvaso,
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: joins me, right, now get they Carl, good?
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: And how are you today?
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: Good? Now, there's going to be some people out there
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: who get no pay rises at all and think, wow,
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: four point six was pretty good. So what was wrong
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: with it?
• 28:27
  Speaker 8: Yeah?
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: I think what it is sent through is that we've
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: been fighting for a long time to get recognition so
• 28:31
  Speaker 7: that we can attract, retain and support principles to do
• 28:36
  Speaker 7: the best job they can for their communities. And quite frankly,
• 28:40
  Speaker 7: we've just had enough of just being told or here
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: this will do, merry Christmas, go away, and so the
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: Principles have drawn a line in the sand the NCDO
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: Principles that I belong to, and just said that's just
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: not enough to acknowledge the work that we do every day.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: Okay, so have you got a percent I bet you won't,
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: But what sort a percentage would make you happy?
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: What we want is we just want acknowledgement that at
• 29:05
  Speaker 7: the moment, we're going through some huge changes and trying
• 29:08
  Speaker 7: to implement these changes in our communities at a pace
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: that keeps up.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: So, oh dear, have we dropped off? Carl Vaso? Are
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: you still with me or not?
• 29:19
  Speaker 7: I know our community is best and when you're changing
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: the curriculums at such a huge rate at a fast pace,
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: we've got to balance a whole lot of things in
• 29:27
  Speaker 7: our schools to ensure that it's.
• 29:28
  Speaker 14: It's effective, that it relates to our kids. Can I
• 29:32
  Speaker 14: get this at whatever rate the government has in their
• 29:36
  Speaker 14: heads about what we're worth inside our communities, we're worth
• 29:39
  Speaker 14: a lot, not just monetary, but you know, support wise, all.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: Right, you know, community, So what we're what we're what
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: we're talking about here, not necessarily is a four point
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: six percent pay rise, but you want and your your
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: union says, it's a crushing workload to change the curriculum.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: And the secondary school principle has got a fifteen thousand
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: dollars curriculum age allowance. So if you just got that,
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: would you walk away happy?
• 30:04
  Speaker 7: What I would go away from seeing if that was
• 30:07
  Speaker 7: on the table is that they've acknowledged the work that
• 30:09
  Speaker 7: we do as a principle in my community. You know,
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: I'm focused. I've got a low socio economic community, lots
• 30:16
  Speaker 7: of community people that struggle to make ends meet. So
• 30:20
  Speaker 7: for me to continually ask for more and more and more,
• 30:23
  Speaker 7: it's not a really good reflection sometimes. But what I
• 30:25
  Speaker 7: am focused on is that whoever comes after me is
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: equipped with and acknowledged with the right skills and you know,
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: re enumerated in a way that you know, acknowledges the
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: work that they do. So fifteen thousand dollars that the
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: secondary principles got, would you not think that that is
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: feared that the primary principles get it?
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: Well, look it's got a name and it's a curriculum
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: change allow and so what would that fifteen thousand dollars
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: be used for? And would it help you change the
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: curriculum or not? I mean, I think we're talking at
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: cross purposes here. You're wanting to be valued, Carl, I
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: value you. I'm just talking about I'm just talking about
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: the money that will stop you complaining.
• 31:04
  Speaker 7: Well, I don't think we're complaining, Andrew. I think what
• 31:06
  Speaker 7: it is is that it's an amount of money that
• 31:08
  Speaker 7: acknowledges that the change that principles are leading in their schools,
• 31:12
  Speaker 7: and so we've got a new curriculum just like the
• 31:16
  Speaker 7: secondary principles. They're implementing change to NCA. We're implementing change
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: to English, structured literacy programs in our school, structured numeracy
• 31:26
  Speaker 7: programs in our schools, trying to change the way in
• 31:29
  Speaker 7: which we teach these things. And we're leading schools, you know,
• 31:32
  Speaker 7: the same size as secondary schools. Secondaries are bigger, no doubt,
• 31:36
  Speaker 7: but they've got a larger staffing allowance that we don't
• 31:39
  Speaker 7: get sometimes when you look at the staffing and the
• 31:41
  Speaker 7: way schools are stuff, you're funded on the size of
• 31:44
  Speaker 7: the shoe size of your kids.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: All right, KL, thank you so much for your time.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: Canvasso is the principle of Rowandale Primary School. A fifteen
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: thousand dollars curriculum change allowance. Gosh, if I got it,
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: if I got a grant every time things changed in
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: my job, gee, I wouldn't be working anymore. And that's
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: a cheap shot, and I'm sorry, Carl, But at the
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: same time, this is what people are thinking. Four point
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: six percent sounds good. Fifteen grands to change the change
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: the curriculum. We'll see now It is now seven minutes to.
