- 0:40Speaker 2: And the whole Treaty Negotiations principles debate came to an
- 0:46Speaker 2: end yesterday, a messy end yesterday, So former Treaty Negotiations
- 0:50Speaker 2: Minister Chris Finnerson will join me just before six to
- 0:53Speaker 2: discuss what we learnt from it all. We'll have Vincent

- 1:02Speaker 2: you can have your say by giving us a text
- 1:04Speaker 2: anytime you like. The number is ninety two ninety two,
- 1:06Speaker 2: and there is a small charge that applies. It's eight
- 1:09Speaker 2: after five. The agenda Friday, the eleventh of April. We
- 1:15Speaker 2: start with the great tariff back down from Donald Trump.
- 1:18Speaker 2: As we heard yesterday on the show, Trump paused tariff
- 1:21Speaker 2: hikes for ninety days, but the universal ten percent levee
- 1:24Speaker 2: for all countries except China remains in place. Well, I
- 1:29Speaker 2: thought that people were jumping a little bit out of line.
- 1:33Speaker 3: They were getting yippy.
- 1:35Speaker 1: You know, they're getting a little bit yippy, a little
- 1:37Speaker 1: bit afraid.
- 1:38Speaker 3: Unlike these champions.
- 1:41Speaker 2: Somebody had to do it.
- 1:41Speaker 4: They had to stop because it was not sustainable.
- 1:44Speaker 2: Yippi. That's the word of the day. Yippie. Now, following
- 1:48Speaker 2: the move, the EU has put retaliatory tariffs on hold,
- 1:52Speaker 2: while the Trump administration says it's close to signing deals
- 1:54Speaker 2: with American's trading partners. US Treasury Secretary Scott Present says
- 1:59Speaker 2: they were acting to the markets and says, hey, this
- 2:02Speaker 2: is all part of the plan.
- 2:04Speaker 4: This was driven by the president's strategy. Then I had
- 2:08Speaker 4: a long talk on Sunday, and this was his strategy
- 2:12Speaker 4: all along.
- 2:13Speaker 5: And that you know, you might.
- 2:14Speaker 4: Even say that he go to China into a bad position.
- 2:20Speaker 4: They responded that they have shown themselves to the world
- 2:23Speaker 4: to be the bad actors.
- 2:25Speaker 2: Now there's been a development in the Idaho murders where
- 2:27Speaker 2: a judge is set to make decisions about what evidence
- 2:30Speaker 2: can and cannot be submitted at the upcoming death penalty
- 2:33Speaker 2: trial of Brian Coburger, who's accused of murdering four University
- 2:38Speaker 2: of Idaho students back in November twenty twenty two. So
- 2:41Speaker 2: Coburger faces four counts of first degree murders. This is
- 2:45Speaker 2: in the deaths of Madison Mogan, Katie Congarvli's, Zayana Canodle,
- 2:49Speaker 2: and Ethan Chapin. Now, this was at an off campus
- 2:52Speaker 2: home in Moscow, Idaho. Not guilty please have been entered
- 2:56Speaker 2: on his behalf. It was a marathon hearing and the
- 2:59Speaker 2: defense called on one of the only surviving room mates,
- 3:01Speaker 2: Dylan Mortensen, and he called him a unreliable eyewitness.
- 3:06Speaker 6: DM is uncertain about the lighting. The stairs to her
- 3:10Speaker 6: left were not lit, the kitchen may or may not
- 3:15Speaker 6: have been lit, and the twinkle lights in the living
- 3:18Speaker 6: room may have been lit. She described seeing the person
- 3:21Speaker 6: for quote only a second.
- 3:25Speaker 2: And finally, King Charles and Queen Camilla had been wrapping
- 3:27Speaker 2: up their visit to Italy. The two met the Pope
- 3:29Speaker 2: at the Vatican and celebrated their twentieth wedding anniversary at
- 3:32Speaker 2: a state banquet at the Presidential Palaces.
- 3:38Speaker 7: To President, to me on this small.
- 3:41Speaker 2: Romantic cabin, he's a funny man, and yesterday I complained
- 3:47Speaker 2: that I hadn't heard him speaking in Italian. Last night
- 3:49Speaker 2: on the TV, I saw the King speaking in Italian
- 3:52Speaker 2: and his Italian was marvelous. It's ten out of five.
- 3:57Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on Earl edition Andrew Dickens
- 4:01Speaker 1: and one roof make your Property Search Simple News Talk.
- 4:05Speaker 2: Sid be Highto. So the passion play that was the
- 4:07Speaker 2: Treaty Principal's Bill came to its predicted end yesterday not
- 4:11Speaker 2: with a whimper but a roar. There were impassion speeches.
- 4:15Speaker 2: There was singing, even though the speaker warned that that
- 4:17Speaker 2: was banned. He called for the cops. Willie Jackson got
- 4:20Speaker 2: predictably chucked out of the house for calling someone a
- 4:22Speaker 2: liar again. A national MP even got hot and bothered
- 4:26Speaker 2: on the day with Tama Puttaka, calling the whole thing
- 4:28Speaker 2: cremation day and a burial. The Prime Minister didn't attend
- 4:32Speaker 2: because he had important stuff to do. He had a
- 4:34Speaker 2: meeting with EWE and he had to do a speech
- 4:36Speaker 2: to the Wellington Chamber of Commerce. Chris Hipkins called the
- 4:39Speaker 2: Prime Minister a coward for not being there at the
- 4:41Speaker 2: end of a process that he allowed to happen in
- 4:43Speaker 2: the coalition agreement, and the architect of the bill, David Seymour,
- 4:47Speaker 2: said the idea is not dead. In fact, a referendum
- 4:50Speaker 2: is his new bottom line and coalition agreements going forward.
- 4:53Speaker 2: It all sounded pretty divisive, really, and so did the
- 4:58Speaker 2: marches on Parliament, so did the anti Malori vitriol all
- 5:01Speaker 2: over social media. And yet the funny thing always was
- 5:04Speaker 2: in this whole debate that David Seymour and the supporters
- 5:06Speaker 2: of the bill always said the bill was not divisive.
- 5:09Speaker 2: In fact, the bill can't be divisive when it's three
- 5:12Speaker 2: sentences talked about unity and one New Zealand. But right there,
- 5:17Speaker 2: right before our eyes, there was division. And the division
- 5:21Speaker 2: is between the people who support the way we enact
- 5:24Speaker 2: the Treaty in our day to day lives and the
- 5:26Speaker 2: people who don't you know it quacked like a duck,
- 5:29Speaker 2: so let's call it a duck. It was divisive and
- 5:32Speaker 2: you know what, after all the fire and headlines, nothing
- 5:36Speaker 2: has happened. And I'm going to call this the best
- 5:39Speaker 2: political stunt in a generation. David Seymour's been in the
- 5:43Speaker 2: headlines for months. Take a bow, mister Seymour. Andrew Diggens
- 5:48Speaker 2: now Health New Zealand data. So it's the number of
- 5:51Speaker 2: public funding colonoscopies have dropped more than seven percent. They've
- 5:55Speaker 2: got a made of mine. Who cause a colonoscopy? Riding
- 5:58Speaker 2: the black snake? Not pleasant, but they're very important anyway.
- 6:02Speaker 2: Health New Zealand then went on to say it's because
- 6:04Speaker 2: there was a temporary surge after the assignation of leftover
- 6:07Speaker 2: COVID funding, so we did more colonoscopies than usual in
- 6:12Speaker 2: the twenty twenty two year, which is not wholly untrue,
- 6:16Speaker 2: but it fails to recognize the bigger picture, and that
- 6:18Speaker 2: is the fact that our population is aging. All the
- 6:22Speaker 2: boomers are well over sixty, and you know, you get
- 6:25Speaker 2: over sixty, that's when things start falling apart. Boo Canser
- 6:29Speaker 2: New Zealand has come out and said that an aging
- 6:32Speaker 2: population has been increasing at a rate of six point
- 6:35Speaker 2: four percent over the past six years. So the COVID
- 6:38Speaker 2: year testing numbers that jumped up were not an outlier,
- 6:42Speaker 2: but rather a necessary correction to keep up with population.
- 6:45Speaker 2: In fact, they said yesterday we should probably be doing
- 6:48Speaker 2: eighty five hundred tests more than we actually do. Now,
- 6:52Speaker 2: look if I'm losing it with all these numbers, let's
- 6:55Speaker 2: put this in plain English. Bow cans in New Zealand
- 6:57Speaker 2: says we're not testing enough because funding has dried up.
- 7:03Speaker 2: Now here's a question for the government. Is that a
- 7:05Speaker 2: false economy. The earlier you detect a cancer or disease,
- 7:09Speaker 2: the easier it is to treat, the easier it is
- 7:12Speaker 2: to treat, the cheaper it is to treat. Far too
- 7:15Speaker 2: many people die of bow cancer in this country, and
- 7:18Speaker 2: there's been an extensive education campaign going back decades to
- 7:22Speaker 2: get people to look closely at their guts earlier in
- 7:25Speaker 2: their lives. So the reduction in klidoscopies and the reduction
- 7:29Speaker 2: of funding for them is a step backwards in the
- 7:33Speaker 2: nation's health and at the end of the day, it's
- 7:35Speaker 2: going to end out costing the taxpayer more Dickens. It's
- 7:40Speaker 2: five fourteen. I'm meant for Ryan Bridge. He is back
- 7:43Speaker 2: on Tuesday. Heathers back on Monday. So net safe has
- 7:47Speaker 2: gone and asked one thousand kids about what's on social
- 7:52Speaker 2: media and what gives them the yips because yippie is
- 7:55Speaker 2: the word of the day and that's about time and
- 7:58Speaker 2: what they said might surprise you. Sure certainly should supplies legislators.
- 8:03Speaker 2: So I'm going to talk to net safe about this
- 8:05Speaker 2: in just a few moments time. It's coming up five
- 8:07Speaker 2: to fifteen.
- 8:08Speaker 1: News and Views You Trust to start your day's early
- 8:11Speaker 1: edition with Andrew Dickens and one roof Make your Property
- 8:15Speaker 1: Search Simple? Can you've talk Sibby?
- 8:18Speaker 2: Well, it's seventeen minutes out to five. So new data
- 8:20Speaker 2: shows only one in three Kiwi pairents have rules around
- 8:23Speaker 2: their children's use of social media well the other two
- 8:27Speaker 2: out of three during while a report by Save the
- 8:30Speaker 2: Children and Netsafe shows over seventy five percent of Kiwi
- 8:33Speaker 2: kids what greater restrictions on harmful content. It comes as
- 8:37Speaker 2: TikTok presented new child safety features to Parliament on Wednesday.
- 8:41Speaker 2: So I'm joined now by netsafe's online safety Officer, Sean
- 8:45Speaker 2: Lyons and good morning Tea.
- 8:46Speaker 5: Sean, Good morning.
- 8:48Speaker 2: So you spoke to nearly one thousand kids around New
- 8:50Speaker 2: Zealand and you found out what they want and they
- 8:52Speaker 2: want less nasties. So why are the adults still faffing about?
- 8:57Speaker 5: Well, I mean, I think part of that Indy should
- 8:59Speaker 5: be listening to to those young users that are out
- 9:01Speaker 5: there eperiencing some of those challenges online. Those young people
- 9:05Speaker 5: had a real common sense approach to what it was
- 9:09Speaker 5: that they wanted. They understand and recognize that there's good
- 9:12Speaker 5: stuff that they see online, that they do online, but
- 9:15Speaker 5: also that there are steps that could be taken to
- 9:18Speaker 5: make them safer online. And you know, like I said,
- 9:20Speaker 5: I think it's a real common sense approach that they've
- 9:22Speaker 5: come up with.
- 9:23Speaker 2: Yeah, the kids want to be safe online. So who
- 9:25Speaker 2: is responsible for these kids seeing harmful content online? Is
- 9:28Speaker 2: it the content providers? Or is it the government with
- 9:31Speaker 2: laws and regulations, or is it the parents?
- 9:35Speaker 5: Well, I mean who's responsible for them seeing it would
- 9:38Speaker 5: be the people that put harmful content online and those
- 9:41Speaker 5: that seek to harm individuals. And that's as much the
- 9:45Speaker 5: case for young people as it is for adults. And
- 9:47Speaker 5: in terms of whose responsibility is it to stop that
- 9:50Speaker 5: or deal with that situation. It's a joint responsibility and
- 9:53Speaker 5: it goes from the responsibility of parents to ensure that
- 9:58Speaker 5: they know what their young people they're doing and provide
- 10:01Speaker 5: support for it for young people directly if they need it.
- 10:04Speaker 5: But it's also about regulation, it's also about the platforms,
- 10:08Speaker 5: and it's also about education and the support that young
- 10:11Speaker 5: people get. But the main thing is it's really about
- 10:13Speaker 5: empowering young people to ensure that they know how to
- 10:17Speaker 5: look after themselves, how to how to deal with the
- 10:19Speaker 5: situation that they come across.
- 10:22Speaker 2: And that's very sensible and go the kids. But here's
- 10:25Speaker 2: the thing. The thing that got me is that two
- 10:26Speaker 2: out of three queuing parents have no rules around their
- 10:30Speaker 2: children's use of social media. So what would you like
- 10:32Speaker 2: to say to those parents.
- 10:36Speaker 5: Certainly when it's no rules at all, that that's something
- 10:40Speaker 5: that needs to be reviewed and reviewed regularly. I mean
- 10:42Speaker 5: that may well be because without rules, what they have
- 10:46Speaker 5: is other systems in place, or they have a degree
- 10:49Speaker 5: of confidence in their young people that they know what
- 10:52Speaker 5: to do. We could be talking about parents of fifteen
- 10:55Speaker 5: sixteen year olds who feel that their children are incredibly
- 10:59Speaker 5: well equipped with the challenges they experience, and if that's
- 11:02Speaker 5: the case, then so be it. Our real worry is
- 11:06Speaker 5: that that comes out of parents who don't really understand
- 11:09Speaker 5: or haven't really engaged with what it is that those
- 11:11Speaker 5: online spaces and places that they're young people are in
- 11:14Speaker 5: look like. And really what we would the challenge I
- 11:17Speaker 5: guess that we would give to parents in that situation is,
- 11:19Speaker 5: if that is the case, then this is the time
- 11:21Speaker 5: to step in, take a look yourself, talk to you
- 11:23Speaker 5: young people about what it is that they experience and
- 11:26Speaker 5: how they handle those challenges online. And if you still
- 11:29Speaker 5: feel that there's no need to put anything in place,
- 11:31Speaker 5: then that's that's an informed decision. I think the likelihood
- 11:35Speaker 5: is in that case that it's then time. What you
- 11:37Speaker 5: will find out is that it's time to institute something
- 11:40Speaker 5: around those young people, be that educating them, be that
- 11:43Speaker 5: making a plan, be that working out what it is
- 11:46Speaker 5: and isn't. It's stickle in your house that something will
- 11:47Speaker 5: probably need to step into that place.
- 11:50Speaker 2: Sean very good work. That is Sean Lyon's the net
- 11:53Speaker 2: Safetief Online safety officer. And you know what I find
- 11:56Speaker 2: amazing about this is a lot of the new parents
- 11:58Speaker 2: these days, the Internet's been around for a while. They've
- 12:00Speaker 2: grown up with the internet. As kids, they would have
- 12:03Speaker 2: seen the nasties on the internet, and now they are
- 12:05Speaker 2: parents themselves, and you would have thought more of them
- 12:08Speaker 2: would know what to do, but not to be Hello, Kathy.
- 12:12Speaker 2: Kathy says, my husband's having a colonoscopy in a couple
- 12:14Speaker 2: of weeks. We are fortunate to have Southern Cross costing
- 12:18Speaker 2: US eight hundred dollars. Our excess is one thousand dollars.
- 12:22Speaker 2: Wish your husband all the very best. And yes, that's
- 12:24Speaker 2: the sensible thing to do, Kathy. It is five twenty one.
- 12:26Speaker 2: We're off to Topaul next because they've got a big
- 12:29Speaker 2: race this weekend.
- 12:31Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens on affili edition with one roof Make your
- 12:34Speaker 1: Property Search Simple, Youth Talk Zivvy.
- 12:37Speaker 2: It's five twenty three. Text comes in and joint approach
- 12:40Speaker 2: sounds sensible when it comes to online safety, parents, platforms,
- 12:43Speaker 2: regulation and education. Good advice from net Safe. Thank you
- 12:46Speaker 2: for your text. I agree. So it's all on V
- 12:48Speaker 2: eight supercars back in Topaul this weekend and I've got
- 12:52Speaker 2: the mayor with me. David Treuevers. Hello David, Yeah.

- 13:05Speaker 2: now that's got to be good.
- 13:07Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 13:07Speaker 3: Absolutely. We had a taste of it last year, of course,
- 13:10Speaker 3: and this is the second year that we're doing it,
- 13:13Speaker 3: and yeah, it's just the town is absolutely buzzing and

- 13:25Speaker 3: and welcome all these Aussies into town and all the
- 13:29Speaker 3: people from around New Zealand. So looking forward to it.
- 13:31Speaker 2: Okay, as you say, year two, So how did your
- 13:34Speaker 2: one go? What economic benefits did TOPO get?
- 13:38Speaker 3: We got a measure done. We think about twenty twenty
- 13:44Speaker 3: to twenty three mill into the district just a direct
- 13:47Speaker 3: spend on the weekend. So you know that's pretty good
- 13:50Speaker 3: for a small population. So and good spenders too. It
- 13:55Speaker 3: covers all fields. You know, you've got your mum and
- 13:57Speaker 3: dads with the picnic rug and couple of kids, and
- 14:00Speaker 3: then you've got ten thousand die hard motorsport fans you
- 14:03Speaker 3: know what they like. And then you've got the corporates
- 14:05Speaker 3: and they do the corporates really well. And Supercars is
- 14:09Speaker 3: a totally professional outfit.
- 14:11Speaker 2: You know what I really like. I really like the
- 14:12Speaker 2: racecourse that's right beside the racecourse it ends up being
- 14:16Speaker 2: a camping town and that looks like the best fun
- 14:18Speaker 2: on earth to be fair.
- 14:20Speaker 3: Absolutely got the gliding club as well. The end the
- 14:23Speaker 3: gliders stop for the weekend and they all pack up
- 14:25Speaker 3: in the air as well.
- 14:26Speaker 2: Great stuff. What are you looking forward to the most?
- 14:28Speaker 2: What events over the weekend are you're looking forward to
- 14:30Speaker 2: the most?

- 14:34Speaker 3: and then the Jason Richards Trophies up for grabs as well,
- 14:38Speaker 3: of course. And you know you've got twenty four of
- 14:40Speaker 3: the best best teams in Australasia, that's for sure, and
- 14:46Speaker 3: pretty fast these vehicles. And yeah, so I'm not a
- 14:51Speaker 3: absolutely expert on the job, but I know there's a
- 14:55Speaker 3: few favorites out there with the crowds of itself and
- 14:58Speaker 3: they really get behind the team, you know.
- 15:01Speaker 2: Good work, Topaul, Good work David Treuwavis, and thank you
- 15:04Speaker 2: for your time. This Morning News Talks AB the early.
- 15:07Speaker 1: Edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News Talks.
- 15:12Speaker 3: It be.
- 15:14Speaker 2: News Talks w B. I'm Andrew Dickinson for Ryan Bridge.
- 15:16Speaker 2: So last night on One News I heard the single
- 15:18Speaker 2: most logical, insane thing said on that bulletin in a
- 15:21Speaker 2: very long time. And it was said by Simon Upton,
- 15:24Speaker 2: the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment, a very smart man,
- 15:27Speaker 2: a Rhodes scholar, a former Minister for the Environment, for
- 15:29Speaker 2: national and this is what Simon Upton said.
- 15:33Speaker 8: We should in an orderly way take forestry out of
- 15:37Speaker 8: their mission's trading scheme.
- 15:38Speaker 2: Blow me over with a feather. I thought, why has
- 15:40Speaker 2: it taken so long for someone so smart to come
- 15:42Speaker 2: out and say this so publicly. We should, in an
- 15:45Speaker 2: orderly way take forestry out of the emissions trading scheme.
- 15:49Speaker 2: Forestry for climate change has been a Ponzi scheme. In fact,
- 15:52Speaker 2: last night the bulletin, the One News bulletin, the Reporter
- 15:54Speaker 2: called it a golden ticket. It's swamp productive land for
- 15:58Speaker 2: easy gain. It's caused rampant while growth through our wildlands.
- 16:01Speaker 2: In the essence, pines and exotic stuff like that, just
- 16:04Speaker 2: a big weed unless you're farming it for wood and paper.
- 16:07Speaker 2: And even then that market's turning a little bit sour.
- 16:09Speaker 2: Has it done anything to reduce emissions. No, the numbers
- 16:14Speaker 2: keept going up and up each year. We've had long
- 16:16Speaker 2: enough for proof it has not. It has provided excuses
- 16:19Speaker 2: for well meeting pop bands to travel the world in
- 16:22Speaker 2: private jets, planting useless forests in their wake and claiming
- 16:25Speaker 2: moral superiority. But then the one news bit went and
- 16:30Speaker 2: to completely miss the point. The headline was we should
- 16:33Speaker 2: plant natives instead of pine, which he kind of did say,
- 16:36Speaker 2: but only if we keep on going with the nutso
- 16:38Speaker 2: forest planting scheme. What Simon proposed was completely removing the
- 16:42Speaker 2: ability of carbon polluters to rely on planting trees to
- 16:46Speaker 2: meet their climate obligations. That's a direct quote. Here's another,
- 16:49Speaker 2: as Simon said, the world actually needs real reductions and
- 16:52Speaker 2: gross emissions, not an accounting triumph hallelujah. If you want
- 16:57Speaker 2: to cut your emissions, then cut your emissions, don't plant
- 17:00Speaker 2: a tree.
- 17:01Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens, so.
- 17:03Speaker 2: The supercars is all big, and of course we had
- 17:05Speaker 2: a breaking piece of news over the week, the Christian's
- 17:07Speaker 2: getting the supercars. A little bit more on that a
- 17:09Speaker 2: little bit later on, and later Christophinerson, former National Minister
- 17:13Speaker 2: for Treaty negotiations, on the whole treaty Principles Bill, This
- 17:16Speaker 2: thing which finally came to an end or did it yesterday?
- 17:20Speaker 1: This new Stalk Sibby, The News you Need this morning
- 17:34Speaker 1: and the in Depth Analysis Early edition with Andrew Dickens
- 17:37Speaker 1: and one roof Make Your Property Search Simple News Talk Sibby.
- 17:51Speaker 2: That's Katy Perry had a birthday sign for a birthday
- 17:55Speaker 2: boy were impeded, so obviously he's eighty today. Oh am me,
- 17:59Speaker 2: it's my today. People are asking how old are you.
- 18:03Speaker 2: I'm old enough. They really should book as session riding
- 18:06Speaker 2: the Black Snake, if you know what I mean. Thank
- 18:08Speaker 2: you for the birthday sign. Producer Kenzie, who, by the way,
- 18:11Speaker 2: has been driving me crazy all morning because shee's sitting
- 18:13Speaker 2: in the control booth eating hot crust buns with melted
- 18:18Speaker 2: butter all over them, and the smell of the spice
- 18:21Speaker 2: is all through the studio and I'm just so hungry,
- 18:24Speaker 2: but I don't eat while I'm on air, because unfortunate
- 18:27Speaker 2: things can happen when you're in the middle of a sentence. Now,
- 18:30Speaker 2: the news that christ Church is to get a supercars
- 18:33Speaker 2: race at Ruapoona was broken by One News earlier this week,
- 18:36Speaker 2: and by the way, this upset supercars because they did
- 18:39Speaker 2: embargo the news. We all kind of knew this was happening,
- 18:43Speaker 2: but they wanted to present the news on their terms.
- 18:46Speaker 2: They wanted all the attention on Topaul this week and
- 18:49Speaker 2: then after we have a big old party and a
- 18:51Speaker 2: good old time there we go. That was great. After
- 18:53Speaker 2: the flush of success of the weekend, they could then
- 18:55Speaker 2: come out and go, you know what, We're going to
- 18:57Speaker 2: do it twice in New Zealand, and we going to
- 18:59Speaker 2: do it in Chrazy at Ruapuna. But no one news
- 19:03Speaker 2: was shorter material, so they broke the story anyway. That
- 19:06Speaker 2: being so, it is fabulous good news and it makes
- 19:10Speaker 2: real sense. Getting the cars to Topol is a real
- 19:13Speaker 2: mission because they don't have a big airport there. They've
- 19:15Speaker 2: got to fly these things from Melbourne to here. They've
- 19:18Speaker 2: got to get them to the course. So Topul's a mission.
- 19:20Speaker 2: Central Ottaga was a mission christ Church, so so much easier.
- 19:24Speaker 2: They can fly the cars into the international airport and
- 19:27Speaker 2: they're ready to go just down the road. And the
- 19:30Speaker 2: reason christ Church got the NOD is because of their
- 19:33Speaker 2: council agency, christ Church end Z and they are on
- 19:37Speaker 2: fire right now. They've got a spiffing new stadium to market.
- 19:41Speaker 2: They're actively getting out there, actively selling the city. And
- 19:44Speaker 2: this in contrast to Auckland where the mayor there who
- 19:47Speaker 2: wants a limo and does video calls while driving. The
- 19:50Speaker 2: mayor there doesn't see the point of such a push
- 19:52Speaker 2: to get such events. You know what, if christ Church
- 19:55Speaker 2: keeps us up, they could end out being the events
- 19:58Speaker 2: capital of New Zealand. And I say, all power to them,
- 20:02Speaker 2: All power to them. I raise my finger a bit
- 20:06Speaker 2: too soon. We're around the country. Calm Proctor joins us
- 20:09Speaker 2: from Duneda and hello.
- 20:10Speaker 9: Calum, morning Andrew.
- 20:11Speaker 2: But we're here to talk about South and the landfill
- 20:14Speaker 2: at Bluff's Ocean Beach.
- 20:17Speaker 9: Yeah. The work to contain the contaminated contents of this
- 20:21Speaker 9: landfill as well and truly underway, nearly complete here at
- 20:24Speaker 9: Ocean Beach. It's been off limits to the public now
- 20:26Speaker 9: since twenty eighteen after contaminants, including asbestos, was found there.
- 20:31Speaker 9: Since then, an asbestos removal companies have been hard at
- 20:34Speaker 9: work clearing about one point two tons of material from
- 20:37Speaker 9: the beach. Doc says the next phase for them is
- 20:40Speaker 9: to prevent any future contamination of the site and restore
- 20:43Speaker 9: public access. So they say a waste will be sorted
- 20:47Speaker 9: and removed before a ninety meter wall made of six
- 20:50Speaker 9: and a half thousand tons of rocks will be built
- 20:52Speaker 9: to prevent further erosion at Ocean Beach.
- 20:55Speaker 2: Good stuff, how's your weather?
- 20:58Speaker 9: Pretty good? Fine today morning? Cloud nor West has developed
- 21:01Speaker 9: the high twenty one.
- 21:02Speaker 2: Claire. Sure what joins you from christ? You tell it?
- 21:03Speaker 10: Claire, Good morning, Happy birthday?
- 21:05Speaker 2: Thank you tell me. The story of Edgewear Pool.
- 21:08Speaker 10: Well Edgewear Pool, if you know, you know, it's one
- 21:10Speaker 10: of those situations. This is a project that has been
- 21:13Speaker 10: locally really significant for a long long time, since before
- 21:16Speaker 10: the quakes. In fact, basically this pool had been there
- 21:19Speaker 10: for a very long time. It got into a bad state.
- 21:22Speaker 10: It was then demolished in two thousand and seven. The community, though,
- 21:26Speaker 10: was up in arms about it because there's not another
- 21:28Speaker 10: one very close, so they've been pushing to try to
- 21:31Speaker 10: get a pool back into the area. They ended up
- 21:34Speaker 10: purchasing the land from council for a single dollar in
- 21:36Speaker 10: twenty sixteen. They then had a number of hoops to
- 21:39Speaker 10: jump through. They've now done that and been able to
- 21:42Speaker 10: get consent to begin work. The coll news is the
- 21:44Speaker 10: construction will begin from this coming Monday now fourth term
- 21:48Speaker 10: local councilor and our deputy mayor. Actually, Pauline Cotter says
- 21:52Speaker 10: this Edgewhere Pool is what launched her political career. She
- 21:55Speaker 10: says it feels almost unbelievable to see it finally getting
- 21:58Speaker 10: to the stage, given it's taken so long, but it
- 22:01Speaker 10: shows the power of communities not giving up. She says,
- 22:04Speaker 10: it's a project very dear to her heart and will
- 22:07Speaker 10: go down as one of the many highlights in her career.
- 22:10Speaker 2: How's christ Churcher's weather?
- 22:12Speaker 10: A little cloudy this morning, northwesterly strengthening this afternoon and
- 22:15Speaker 10: a high of twenty.
- 22:16Speaker 2: One Max Toll from Wellington. Good morning to you, Max,
- 22:18Speaker 2: Good morning. So we've got a clothing brand in Wellington
- 22:21Speaker 2: that's shutting.
- 22:22Speaker 7: Yeah. So this is a Nissa which for about eight
- 22:26Speaker 7: years has really been held up as a success story
- 22:28Speaker 7: of the capital. It's an ethical underwear and activewear brand.
- 22:33Speaker 7: It only hires female workers predominantly from refugee and migrant backgrounds.
- 22:37Speaker 7: The materials are sustainable, organic hand sown, et cetera. But
- 22:42Speaker 7: the owner says what so many are that foot traffic
- 22:45Speaker 7: is just not the same anymore in central Wellington they're
- 22:47Speaker 7: based on Willis Street. The city much more quieter, people
- 22:50Speaker 7: working from home, cost of living, job cuts, et cetera,
- 22:53Speaker 7: et cetera. It's final day of trading tomorrow. It seems
- 22:56Speaker 7: no unsafe in the capital, all right?
- 22:59Speaker 2: And how was the weather?
- 23:01Speaker 7: Some early cloud clearing to find northerly's getting up to
- 23:04Speaker 7: eighteen central?
- 23:05Speaker 2: Two? Or can we go? And even tomato? Good money
- 23:07Speaker 2: to Youay you're not on hot No, no, it's not
- 23:11Speaker 2: your fault.
- 23:11Speaker 11: There we go right, A happy birthday very much? Can
- 23:15Speaker 11: I how old are you?
- 23:16Speaker 6: Okay?
- 23:16Speaker 11: Can I guess?
- 23:17Speaker 2: Cut me open and cut the rings? Sixty?
- 23:21Speaker 7: Yes?
- 23:22Speaker 2: I am now okay. We've got a school in orcan
- 23:25Speaker 2: who spent four million bucks on a farm?
- 23:27Speaker 12: Yes?
- 23:28Speaker 11: Now? Saint Kentigan plans to open, or use, rather the
- 23:31Speaker 11: four hundred and thirteen hectaret Wilson Bay Farm as it's
- 23:34Speaker 11: third campus. This is alongside Remuerra and Pokodona grounds, so
- 23:39Speaker 11: it's aiming to have all students above year four traveling
- 23:42Speaker 11: out to the farm each year. This will happen from
- 23:44Speaker 11: around about twenty twenty seven onwards. The board says it's
- 23:48Speaker 11: going to remain a working farm. Students are going to
- 23:51Speaker 11: they'll be able to undertake scientific studies or prepare for
- 23:54Speaker 11: agricultural careers. And they'll enjoy water sports out there too.
- 23:58Speaker 11: And what's also called is at the school's looking it
- 24:00Speaker 11: fearing the students directly. This is from the shoreline of
- 24:02Speaker 11: its college and Pokadanga.
- 24:04Speaker 2: Wow.
- 24:05Speaker 11: Yes, they would have been great back in our day
- 24:08Speaker 11: if we were able to do that.
- 24:09Speaker 2: Now are into Campa Dare, which is in the Hunus
- 24:12Speaker 2: Orcanders will know Camper Dare. And it was just a
- 24:15Speaker 2: little park and we went around. We made walking six
- 24:18Speaker 2: out of supplejack of that sort of stuff. How's Orchan's weather?
- 24:20Speaker 4: Well?
- 24:21Speaker 11: Partly cloudy today, isolated Charles clearing in the afternoon. Twenty
- 24:24Speaker 11: one is the high today.
- 24:25Speaker 2: And I think you for your time today now of
- 24:27Speaker 2: course on the whole get rid of the forest because
- 24:30Speaker 2: they're ineffective for climate emissions and that whole mission trading
- 24:35Speaker 2: scheme thing that I talked about your textas coming in
- 24:38Speaker 2: brilliant Andrew, thanks you get it. The land of the
- 24:41Speaker 2: long Green Pine, ruining rural New Zealand for International Pallugas.
- 24:44Speaker 2: Thank you. Sarah John has an idea that maybe grass
- 24:47Speaker 2: should be promoted as the only paying carbon sequestera in
- 24:50Speaker 2: the ETS if you're not up with the story. As
- 24:53Speaker 2: Simon Upton said something quite brilliant on the news last night, Kensey,
- 24:56Speaker 2: have you got Simon? Could you play Simon again? I
- 24:58Speaker 2: can't hear this enough here he.
- 24:59Speaker 8: Is should in an orderly way take forestry out of
- 25:03Speaker 8: the mission's training scheme.
- 25:05Speaker 2: Tomorrow now, Vincent McAvennie with us in a few moments time,
- 25:09Speaker 2: and we'll talk about King Charles and Queen Camilla's very
- 25:11Speaker 2: romantic twentieth wedding anniversary dinner in Italy, and later chrisphiner
- 25:15Speaker 2: Lissen on the Treaty Principles Bill which is dead in
- 25:18Speaker 2: the water, and what we've learned from the whole exercise.
- 25:21Speaker 1: International correspondence with ins andn Eye Insurance, Peace of mind
- 25:25Speaker 1: for New Zealand business.
- 25:27Speaker 2: This is thirteen to six. Into Europe, we go into
- 25:29Speaker 2: mecaveny Joints, the Hallivanton.
- 25:32Speaker 12: Hi, good morning.
- 25:33Speaker 2: I've managed to not say the tea word all morning long.
- 25:36Speaker 2: It has been a place of relief. But let's talk
- 25:39Speaker 2: tariff's reaction in Europe.
- 25:41Speaker 12: Yeah, I think we've all been saying that word a
- 25:43Speaker 12: far too much over the past week. And there is
- 25:46Speaker 12: relief in Europe after the rate that the was going
- 25:49Speaker 12: to be applied to the block has fallen now down
- 25:51Speaker 12: to ten percent. They're holding off on reciprocal measures and focusing,
- 25:57Speaker 12: we understand, on trying to strike a deal in the
- 25:59Speaker 12: next ninety days to avoid any kind of increase in
- 26:04Speaker 12: those Once again, Ursla Vonderline saying she's confident that work
- 26:07Speaker 12: could be done. The UK, there's a bit of sore
- 26:10Speaker 12: feeling here because we've actually had a pretty good deal
- 26:13Speaker 12: compared to everyone else. We were on the ten percent
- 26:16Speaker 12: levy that others had not managed to get, so there
- 26:20Speaker 12: was seen as a little bit of benefit of everyone
- 26:21Speaker 12: else in Europe was going to get a higher rate.
- 26:24Speaker 12: We were going to be a little bit better. Some
- 26:26Speaker 12: saying it was potentially a little bit of a Brexit dividend,
- 26:28Speaker 12: something that we haven't seen much of in recent years.
- 26:31Speaker 12: So the feeling in Europe is that the stock markets
- 26:33Speaker 12: have gone up, there is now time to do something,
- 26:36Speaker 12: and trying to read the sort of behind the scenes
- 26:38Speaker 12: picture of what's going in the White House, people here
- 26:41Speaker 12: seem to feel confident that Donald Trump maybe has been
- 26:43Speaker 12: convinced out of his initial plan and that this was
- 26:46Speaker 12: really you know, if you go and engage with him
- 26:49Speaker 12: and negotiate, that is what he really wanted all along.
- 26:52Speaker 2: Yes, but the stock markets aren't really an accurate barometer
- 26:54Speaker 2: really of business. That's a bolsters as the numbers that
- 26:58Speaker 2: count the stockmakets based on motion.
- 27:00Speaker 7: So there we go.
- 27:01Speaker 2: Look, let's Friday. Let's talk about King Charles and quin
- 27:03Speaker 2: Carmella's very romantic dinner for the twentieth anniversary in Italy
- 27:07Speaker 2: and also the magnificent speech by the King in the
- 27:11Speaker 2: Italian Parliament. What a room that was.
- 27:15Speaker 12: Yeah, they've had a spectacular visit for four days to Italy.
- 27:19Speaker 12: We weren't sure if it was going to go ahead,
- 27:20Speaker 12: of course, with King Charles recently having a bit of
- 27:23Speaker 12: bother with his ongoing cancer treatment, having to cancel some
- 27:27Speaker 12: events about two weeks ago. But the event went ahead
- 27:30Speaker 12: and it was actually the twentieth anniversary of the couple
- 27:32Speaker 12: getting married in Windsor, and so they did a lot
- 27:36Speaker 12: of touring around the country. They had that state dinner
- 27:38Speaker 12: where Prince Charles joke that you know, it was a
- 27:41Speaker 12: romantic meal for two that had been put on just
- 27:43Speaker 12: with another one hundred and fifty people in attendance. They
- 27:47Speaker 12: visited the scenes of some wargraves and the particularly a
- 27:49Speaker 12: town where a lot of Canadian soldiers lost their lives,
- 27:53Speaker 12: something that Charles is going out of his way at
- 27:55Speaker 12: the moment to show support for Canada with the sort
- 27:58Speaker 12: of abuse that they're taking the United States on their sovereignty.
- 28:02Speaker 12: And they also visited a food market today they made
- 28:05Speaker 12: some pasta and they had their private meeting as well
- 28:08Speaker 12: with the Pope, which we didn't think was going to
- 28:09Speaker 12: happen given his ill health in recent months, but we
- 28:12Speaker 12: understand that happened behind closed doors and the couple received
- 28:15Speaker 12: a blessing from him and good.
- 28:17Speaker 2: The hit of the Church of England meeting. Of course,
- 28:19Speaker 2: to the head of the Catholic Church. I understand you've
- 28:21Speaker 2: been at their Prince Harry court case.
- 28:25Speaker 5: Yeah, that's right.
- 28:25Speaker 12: I spent two days in court in central London with
- 28:28Speaker 12: Prince Harry. He was at the Court of Appeal arguing
- 28:31Speaker 12: that the government had made a wrong calculation when it
- 28:34Speaker 12: comes to the security he and his family get when
- 28:36Speaker 12: they come to the UK. It's been moved to a
- 28:38Speaker 12: case by case basis, the government says, because they needed
- 28:41Speaker 12: that flexibility, because they didn't know what he was going
- 28:43Speaker 12: to do in terms of work and travel and everything else.
- 28:46Speaker 12: He's saying, though the thread against him is so high,
- 28:48Speaker 12: particularly because he did serve in the military. He fought
- 28:51Speaker 12: in Afghanistan and he was used as a sort of
- 28:53Speaker 12: recruitment tool by the military, putting a bigger target on him.
- 28:57Speaker 12: He's saying that it should be at the level it
- 28:59Speaker 12: was when he was a working royal, that his decision
- 29:02Speaker 12: back in twenty twenty shouldn't affect that, and he's claiming
- 29:06Speaker 12: that it's one of the reasons that he's been staying
- 29:07Speaker 12: away from the UK. So a panel of judges are
- 29:10Speaker 12: reviewing that decision now and they'll report at some point
- 29:13Speaker 12: in the next few weeks.
- 29:15Speaker 2: Great stuff, Vincer Megaviny the time now ten Minister.
- 29:17Speaker 1: Six Andrew Diggins.
- 29:19Speaker 2: So the Treaty Principles Bill, did the Water National keep
- 29:21Speaker 2: their promise? They voted the bill down and at second
- 29:23Speaker 2: reading there's been hiccoy, there's been a hacker. There's been singing.
- 29:28Speaker 2: Yesterday a Parliamentary Privilege Committee hearing Minister for Maley Development
- 29:33Speaker 2: Tama Portaka called it cremation day with me is Chrisphinis
- 29:37Speaker 2: in former Minister for Treaty negotiations, inter National Government Hallo,
- 29:41Speaker 2: Chris Morning, Andrew. Your thoughts on the whole thing, Well,
- 29:46Speaker 2: I don't.
- 29:47Speaker 5: Think it's over. I think it's a foretaste of thought's
- 29:50Speaker 5: to come.
- 29:51Speaker 13: I think that we'll have an election campaign, presumably in
- 29:55Speaker 13: twenty twenty six, when David Assumare will raise the issue again.
- 30:01Speaker 2: He said it's very likely that a referendum is going
- 30:04Speaker 2: to be a bottom line in any coalition agreements going forward.
- 30:07Speaker 2: Is that a problem and as a referendum and excessively
- 30:11Speaker 2: simplistic way to deal with.
- 30:12Speaker 5: The issue, yes, it is.
- 30:14Speaker 13: It would be I think a prescription for disaster and division.
- 30:21Speaker 2: Okay, the word division has been used a lot, but
- 30:24Speaker 2: David said it wasn't about division, it was about unity.
- 30:27Speaker 2: Has this been divisive and has it been damaging?
- 30:30Speaker 5: Well?
- 30:30Speaker 13: I think that the problem really is that the principles
- 30:34Speaker 13: of the treaty are quite different from the principles that
- 30:39Speaker 13: he was advocating in his legislation. Many of the principles
- 30:45Speaker 13: he advocated could ideally go and look preamble to the
- 30:50Speaker 13: Constitution Act or something like that, but they don't reflect
- 30:54Speaker 13: that the principles of the treaty.
- 30:57Speaker 3: There are a.
- 30:57Speaker 13: Different set of principles, and I think that's what's irritated
- 31:02Speaker 13: a few people.
- 31:03Speaker 2: And new zim First has says it wants to modify
- 31:06Speaker 2: this sort of treaty principles that we have already inside
- 31:10Speaker 2: our legislation. Is that a better way of addressing the
- 31:12Speaker 2: concerns that people have about the priority of MARI issues
- 31:16Speaker 2: in public debate?
- 31:18Speaker 13: Well, I do think there's a lot of lazy legislating
- 31:21Speaker 13: that goes on. And I was telling someone yesterday I
- 31:26Speaker 13: recall the discussion I had with Peter Sharpe's former Minister
- 31:30Speaker 13: of MARI Development, when I was Minister for the Arts
- 31:33Speaker 13: and was reviewing the Historic Places legislation. He wanted a
- 31:37Speaker 13: more general treaty clause and I wanted a specific one
- 31:41Speaker 13: in order to give effect of the principles of the
- 31:43Speaker 13: treaty in this legislation, decision makers shall do a B
- 31:48Speaker 13: and six spell it out.
- 31:50Speaker 5: So I think there's.
- 31:51Speaker 13: Some legitimacy in the point that if you're going to
- 31:54Speaker 13: have a treaty clause, there could be better definition.
- 31:58Speaker 2: All right, Chris for this in I think thank you
- 32:00Speaker 2: for your time. This is news talks there. B Yes,
- 32:03Speaker 2: I've got a text with Roger David Seymour said he
- 32:05Speaker 2: will seriously consider making a referendum on the Treaty principle
- 32:07Speaker 2: as a condition for any coalition agreement with the National
- 32:10Speaker 2: at the next election. So as Christophinerson Ritney says, this
- 32:13Speaker 2: is not dead in the water, I said dead in
- 32:14Speaker 2: the water at the beginning, it's not. It's going to
- 32:16Speaker 2: keep on guy, and that's for sure. It is coming up.
- 32:18Speaker 2: Six minutes to six.

- 32:30Speaker 2: Right. Oh yeah, we've got topol this weekend. We're going
- 32:32Speaker 2: to have Rupuna officially announced later. Tom writes, remember a
- 32:36Speaker 2: long time ago Wellington had a racing car event called
- 32:38Speaker 2: the Mobile five hundred. Oh yes, Tom. In fact I
- 32:41Speaker 2: went on a hot lap round that course. It was
- 32:42Speaker 2: a magnificent course with Robbie Frankevich in his racing volvo
- 32:47Speaker 2: that they called the Flying Brick. It was a great course.
- 32:49Speaker 2: But anyway, there we go, mister Huskin, good morning.
- 32:51Speaker 14: Ten wrning. Was it really a good course? It was, well,
- 32:55Speaker 14: it was a made up course. It was a made
- 32:56Speaker 14: up with a lot of concrete blocks down at the
- 32:58Speaker 14: water front.
- 32:58Speaker 2: And then it went all the way around that water
- 33:00Speaker 2: front which is down a promenade and you actually, when
- 33:02Speaker 2: I was in the car, I thought, I'm going to die.
- 33:04Speaker 2: I'm going to go into the into the water. We're
- 33:06Speaker 2: going to hit all the walls.
- 33:07Speaker 7: That was excited.
