Speaker 1: The issues, the interviews and the inside. Ryan Bridge on
0:05
Speaker 1: an earlier edition, Where's one roof Love where you live?
0:09
Speaker 1: News talks, they'd be.
0:10
Speaker 2: Good morning six after five short week, lets crack into it.
0:13
Speaker 2: Shaw were coming up before six, David Seymour on red
0:15
Speaker 2: tape and Diesel Gevin's in the UK for US Andrews.
0:18
Speaker 2: Here was Sport, New Zealand first trying to get into
0:21
Speaker 2: the West coast. We'll talk about that. Plus we have
0:24
Speaker 2: a real pole out of Australia and a bit of
0:26
Speaker 2: a straw pole that's still interesting out of America.
0:30
Speaker 1: The agenda Monday.
0:31
Speaker 2: The thirtieth of March. The Iranians say we're ready for you.
0:34
Speaker 2: This is Trump considers sending those I mean, they are
0:37
Speaker 2: converging in the Middle East, but will they actually do anything.
0:40
Speaker 2: This is the ground troops. The enemy openly sends messages
0:43
Speaker 2: of negotiation and secretly plans for a ground attack.
0:47
Speaker 3: Amen or waiting to set them on fire and punish
0:50
Speaker 3: their regional partners.
0:51
Speaker 2: Forever out there you go. There's a warning for you.
0:53
Speaker 2: The Democrats not on board with troops on the ground.
0:55
Speaker 4: I want to take a moment to make a direct
0:58
Speaker 4: call to President Trump and congrect Republicans saying we cannot
1:02
Speaker 4: have American troops on the ground in Iran. This is
1:05
Speaker 4: going to be such a risky operation, and for what purpose.
1:09
Speaker 4: I mean everything I see with pArg Island, it's just
1:11
Speaker 4: about adding leverage for diplomacy.
1:14
Speaker 2: Over the weekend, the Huthis entered the Group Chat promising
1:17
Speaker 2: more strikes against Israel.
1:20
Speaker 3: Armed forces carried out the second military operation, using a
1:24
Speaker 3: barrage of cruise missiles and drones targeting several vital and
1:27
Speaker 3: military sites of the Zionist enemy in southern occupied Palestine.
1:32
Speaker 2: Have you seen the queues at airports across America? Gridlock
1:36
Speaker 2: choking the country's airports. This is because of the partial
1:39
Speaker 2: government shutdown. More ICE agents on the way to try
1:42
Speaker 2: and fix things. But the White House, the borders are
1:45
Speaker 2: sees there's only one real solution.
1:47
Speaker 5: Congress opens up the government and funds to Department Homeland Security.
1:52
Speaker 5: That's what needs to happen. But yeah, I talked to
1:56
Speaker 5: Secretary of Mark Walliamum and Yester. There is a plan
1:59
Speaker 5: to get these agents PA hopefully by tomorrow Tuesday.
2:03
Speaker 2: Finally, this morning, Michael Jordan has given a rare interview.
2:06
Speaker 2: He's now the owner of the NASCAR team twenty three eleven.
2:09
Speaker 2: Racing still gets asked about be ball. There's no such thing,
2:11
Speaker 2: as you go you know, to me, not to me.
2:14
Speaker 2: It's only because I think we learn from other athletes.
2:17
Speaker 2: We progressed again to say that one is better than
2:19
Speaker 2: the other. It's not really.
2:21
Speaker 1: Ray get ahead of the headlines on early edition with
2:26
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and one roof Love where you live us
2:30
Speaker 1: Talk STB.
2:31
Speaker 2: News Talk said b it is eight minutes after five.
2:33
Speaker 2: Great to have your company. So a quick couple of
2:35
Speaker 2: holes for you this morning. One out of Australia. This
2:38
Speaker 2: is the Australian Financial Review Redbridge Group Accent Research poll
2:43
Speaker 2: and it says that well, I'll get to Albanize's popularity
2:46
Speaker 2: in a second, but it was taken last week, so
2:48
Speaker 2: Monday to Friday. This takes into account the war and everything.
2:52
Speaker 2: How do you feel who do you blame for the
2:55
Speaker 2: price of diesel petrol in Australia? Sixty one percent of
2:59
Speaker 2: the voters blame Trump and fourteen percent blamed the government.
3:03
Speaker 2: So people get it, at least on that side of
3:05
Speaker 2: the Tasman and the coalition down two to a new
3:09
Speaker 2: low plumbing new depths. Seventeen percent for the coalition and
3:13
Speaker 2: they've changed both the Nationals and the Liberals have changed
3:16
Speaker 2: their leaders in the last six weeks. Not working doesn't matter,
3:20
Speaker 2: don't care. They are plumbing new depths one nation up
3:24
Speaker 2: one on twenty nine percent, nipping at the heels of
3:27
Speaker 2: Labour on thirty two percent. That funny. They are holding steady.
3:31
Speaker 2: But Elbow's popularity is taking a hit. This is what
3:34
Speaker 2: I wanted to get to. So third consecutive month of
3:38
Speaker 2: falls in his popularity Net favorability minus seventeen now, which
3:42
Speaker 2: represents a decline of eighteen percentage points since December last year.
3:48
Speaker 2: Not great for him. Just on the price of oil.
3:50
Speaker 2: While we're here, it was having a look at the
3:52
Speaker 2: weekend because we do sort of daily weekly updates and
3:56
Speaker 2: they're becoming increasingly obsolete. But if you look at the
3:59
Speaker 2: month of March, which were nearly done, we nearly finished.
4:03
Speaker 2: We're chewed through March. We're on the cusp of chewing
4:06
Speaker 2: through March. So zoom out and look at the month.
4:09
Speaker 2: Brent crewed up fifty one percent since the start of
4:12
Speaker 2: the month. That beats the previous monthly record of forty
4:16
Speaker 2: six percent that was set back in September of nineteen
4:20
Speaker 2: ninety that's when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait which led to
4:24
Speaker 2: the First Golf War. So we bet that already tick
4:27
Speaker 2: that off your list. We closed at one hundred and
4:30
Speaker 2: twelve dollars a barrel on Friday. That was up from
4:33
Speaker 2: seventy two before the war. Now, Trump, the problem for
4:39
Speaker 2: him is he can't talk the price down. So if
4:41
Speaker 2: you look at the graph of it through the month,
4:44
Speaker 2: you can see when he came out at the start
4:46
Speaker 2: of the month and said, oh, we've got negotiations underway.
4:48
Speaker 2: I think the price started to come down. Then it
4:52
Speaker 2: went back up, of course, and then he comes out
4:54
Speaker 2: and said I'm delaying. You know, he did the ultimatum.
4:56
Speaker 2: We spoke about that last week, and then he says
4:58
Speaker 2: I'm delaying. The ultimate price didn't move. So the markets
5:03
Speaker 2: have basically stopped listening to Trump, ran Bridge. Ten minutes
5:07
Speaker 2: after five. Will they listen to New Zealand first on
5:09
Speaker 2: the West Coast, that's the question. They've got a new
5:11
Speaker 2: mining policy. Will speak to their new candidate?
5:13
Speaker 1: Next on your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early Edition
5:19
Speaker 1: with Ryan Bridge and one Root Love where you Live
5:23
Speaker 1: News Talks'd.
5:24
Speaker 2: Been five thirteen The other pole I want to tell
5:26
Speaker 2: you about was one from the biggest conservative gathering in
5:29
Speaker 2: the United States over the weekend. They were in Great Barn,
5:31
Speaker 2: Texas Conservative Political Action Conference. It's called It's where all
5:35
Speaker 2: the really Christian voters go, and they are about sixteen
5:40
Speaker 2: hundred people in attendance, and there was a straw pole,
5:42
Speaker 2: who would you like to run the report? You know
5:45
Speaker 2: who's in charge after Trump leaves? Basically because obviously he
5:48
Speaker 2: can't run, assuming he doesn't become a despot, but can't
5:52
Speaker 2: run in twenty twenty eight, who do you want to run?
5:54
Speaker 2: Vance fifty three percent, Rubio thirty five percent, no one
5:59
Speaker 2: else got over two percent. Was a straw poll of
6:02
Speaker 2: sixteen hundred people, but quite telling. Bryan Bred fourteen after
6:06
Speaker 2: five New Zealand first making a play for the West Coast.
6:08
Speaker 2: Over the weekend, Winston Peters in Graymouth Campaign Policy announced
6:11
Speaker 2: return fifty percent of mining royalties to the region that
6:15
Speaker 2: they actually came from. On top of that, former Buller
6:19
Speaker 2: District mayor Jamie Klein will be the party's candidate for
6:22
Speaker 2: West Coast Tessmen. He's with me this morning, Jamie.
6:25
Speaker 6: Morning.
6:25
Speaker 2: Ryan, didn't you just get the boot from voters in
6:28
Speaker 2: the Meyeral race.
6:30
Speaker 7: Absolutely, very close democratic decision by the electorate here in Buller.
6:37
Speaker 7: But yeah, certainly a lot of good work to be
6:39
Speaker 7: has been done over the past six years in New Zealand. First,
6:42
Speaker 7: we're front and center throughout most of that.
6:46
Speaker 2: What's your play with the mining policy is it? Do
6:48
Speaker 2: you think that's going to be a vote winner there
6:50
Speaker 2: for the party vote? Oh?
6:53
Speaker 7: Absolutely. You know, one of the issues the West Coast
6:56
Speaker 7: has small population based, huge geographic area and most of
7:00
Speaker 7: New Zealand's massive infrastructure needs and ability to pay affordability.
7:04
Speaker 7: All of those things are affecting our region. So it's
7:08
Speaker 7: long high time that the minerals royalties scheme gets a
7:11
Speaker 7: bit of a shakeup. And to hear that there's an
7:14
Speaker 7: appetite in New Zealand. First is certainly campaigning on fifty
7:18
Speaker 7: percent of those royalties coming back to the regions where
7:20
Speaker 7: the minerals are coming from. As music to my ears.
7:24
Speaker 7: Alongside that, of course, is you know, we've got an
7:26
Speaker 7: industry that wants to ramp up and a lot of
7:28
Speaker 7: that requires several infrastructure to be to be put in
7:31
Speaker 7: ahead of time to facilitate building and accommodating all the
7:36
Speaker 7: wave of workforce that are coming and so an ability
7:39
Speaker 7: to do that, and makes sense to focus that on
7:41
Speaker 7: the areas where the growth is going to occur in
7:43
Speaker 7: the mineral sector New Zealand.
7:45
Speaker 2: Fir's got fewer votes in the Greens in the seat
7:46
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three. Who are you hoping that policies
7:50
Speaker 2: like this will take votes from? Is it labor? Because
7:54
Speaker 2: Nett's got about fourteen thousand, Labour got about ten thousand.
7:57
Speaker 2: You know, who are you going after? Whose vote are
7:59
Speaker 2: you trying to get a look?
8:01
Speaker 7: I mean, clearly Labor Party voters are going to be
8:06
Speaker 7: far more well served under in New Zealand First representation
8:10
Speaker 7: in this region. Labor have been missing an action in
8:13
Speaker 7: terms of its support for the workers and genuine support
8:16
Speaker 7: for its what was its traditional heart, which was the
8:19
Speaker 7: mining sector. New Zealand First are looking to turn that
8:22
Speaker 7: around and we've been on the ground this weekend meeting
8:25
Speaker 7: with hundreds of our community with rousing support for this policy.
8:30
Speaker 2: All right, appreciate your time, Jamie, Best of luck. Jamie
8:32
Speaker 2: Klein with us and his zem First candidate for West
8:34
Speaker 2: Coast Tasman, former Bullet District mayor. It is sixteen after
8:38
Speaker 2: five Bridge Joe more help was on the way for
8:41
Speaker 2: those who are worried about the Strait of hill Moves,
8:43
Speaker 2: and who isn't worried about the Straight of hill Moves frankly,
8:45
Speaker 2: But Britain is preparing to deploy a Royal Navy evacuation ship.
8:50
Speaker 2: So a couple of words to take note of here
8:52
Speaker 2: preparing to deploy a Royal Navy evacuationship. And you might think,
8:58
Speaker 2: what use is a navy evacuation ship in the Strait
9:01
Speaker 2: of hor Moves. Well, they are going to retro fit
9:05
Speaker 2: it with a fleet of mine hunting drones. So you
9:09
Speaker 2: have preparing to deploy and you have retro fitting. Just
9:14
Speaker 2: think about that. A month into the war, we're talking
9:16
Speaker 2: about retro fitting, and we're talking about maybe planning for
9:20
Speaker 2: still for the strait. And that's from the Brits only
9:24
Speaker 2: from the Brits thus far, so good luck everybody. Seventeen
9:27
Speaker 2: after five Andrew Head would sport next.
9:30
Speaker 1: Views and Views you Trust to start your day. It's
9:33
Speaker 1: early edition with Bryan Bridge and one Route Love where
9:38
Speaker 1: you Live News Talks.
9:39
Speaker 2: That'd be five nineteen. There's a story in the Herald
9:41
Speaker 2: this morning about the LNG terminal and the hub that
9:44
Speaker 2: the government wants to build, and not long ago that
9:47
Speaker 2: they announced this to much fanfare, and the price of LERG,
9:51
Speaker 2: obviously given what's happening in the Middle East, has gone
9:54
Speaker 2: up massively. In fact, Asian aller prices are up more
9:57
Speaker 2: than one hundred percent on pre war levels. The infrastructure
10:01
Speaker 2: is being hit there, so this problem is not going
10:03
Speaker 2: to go away quickly, the price problem because the infrastructure
10:06
Speaker 2: takes time to rebuild, and while that's being rebuilt, your
10:09
Speaker 2: supplies disrupted, the price remains high. So does an alien
10:12
Speaker 2: G facility make sense still? Well? Apparently this is According
10:17
Speaker 2: to Thomas Cogan at The Herald, they are considering reconsidering
10:22
Speaker 2: whether this is even a goer at all, and they
10:24
Speaker 2: will make a decision soon. Over the weekend we heard
10:27
Speaker 2: from Trump. This is sort of gives you an insight
10:31
Speaker 2: into his mind and his thinking when it comes to
10:33
Speaker 2: who he hangs out with.
10:35
Speaker 8: You don't have to wed a lifetime to find out
10:37
Speaker 8: if somebody a winner or a loser.
10:38
Speaker 2: You get a lot of losers, mostly loss Fortunately, it's
10:41
Speaker 2: a good thing to have a lot of losers.
10:43
Speaker 8: I always like to hang around with losers, actually because
10:46
Speaker 8: it makes me feel better.
10:49
Speaker 9: I hate guys that are very.
10:50
Speaker 1: Very successful and you have to listen to their success.
10:52
Speaker 8: So I like people that like to listen to my success.
10:57
Speaker 2: Ryan Bridge, Right, let's go to a winner. Andrew Ordison
11:00
Speaker 2: as INB support, Hey Andrew.
11:02
Speaker 10: Yeah good, I Ry oh boy, your senselessly with that? Yeah,
11:04
Speaker 10: he with all my success?
11:05
Speaker 2: Sorry. Did imagine being one of his friends though, and
11:09
Speaker 2: listening to that and going, oh, that mustn't mean I'm
11:11
Speaker 2: a loser, you.
11:11
Speaker 10: Know that guy ever becomes the United States President or
11:14
Speaker 10: something like that.
11:15
Speaker 2: God forbid Liam Lawson and the points again.
11:18
Speaker 10: He is, Yes, got ninth at the Japanese Grand Prixs
11:21
Speaker 10: a Zuka, benefiting from a safety car early and moving
11:25
Speaker 10: up from fourteenth to that night's spot. I think he
11:27
Speaker 10: can be pretty tough with that. He always got ten
11:30
Speaker 10: points down the championship his tenth overall. But the real
11:34
Speaker 10: story here is Kimmy Antonelli for Mercedes. I mean, I
11:37
Speaker 10: know what you were doing when you were nineteen, but
11:39
Speaker 10: you know, nineteen years old, you're leading the drivers Championship
11:43
Speaker 10: and back to back race wins for Antonelli. He just
11:46
Speaker 10: seems to star in the making here and seems pretty
11:49
Speaker 10: measured about it. From what I could see from the
11:50
Speaker 10: race last night, I think winning by almost fourteen seconds,
11:54
Speaker 10: So it's obviously a great car as well.
11:56
Speaker 2: Fantastic. What about the white fins bit stunned outstandably?
12:00
Speaker 10: I mean Kadi Rayderkat with the six off the last
12:03
Speaker 10: ball on debut twenty years old, ends up with forty
12:06
Speaker 10: two on out of thirty two deliveries and gets to
12:09
Speaker 10: two sixty nine and chases down that whitefoan's target. But
12:13
Speaker 10: she's done this before, She did this on tea twenty
12:15
Speaker 10: debut as well. This is one day at the National
12:17
Speaker 10: Daboo last night. But yeah, so apparent it's the first
12:21
Speaker 10: time that's been done by hitting a six to win
12:24
Speaker 10: the match by a debutante.
12:25
Speaker 2: Wow. Cool.
12:26
Speaker 10: But to do it twice in different formats, so she's
12:28
Speaker 10: clearly someone who is able to, I guess, hold herself
12:32
Speaker 10: together in the clutch.
12:33
Speaker 2: One hundred percy, speaking of doing it twice, Tiger's at
12:36
Speaker 2: it again, yeah or more.
12:40
Speaker 10: Look, I thought this is such a sad or melancholic
12:44
Speaker 10: story here, right, I think with Woods, you know, you
12:46
Speaker 10: look at that margshot, you see the dead eyes. I know,
12:50
Speaker 10: this guy's had so much success, has brought so much
12:53
Speaker 10: joy to people with his golf game. But I just
12:56
Speaker 10: don't know if he's ever going to find happiness. He
12:57
Speaker 10: just looks such as looks defeated. It just you know,
13:02
Speaker 10: he keeps this is a repeat. He's a recidivist.
13:04
Speaker 2: How do you flip a car. He must have been
13:06
Speaker 2: going very fast. Yeah, it looked like a suburban street,
13:09
Speaker 2: not a massive one. He must flying.
13:12
Speaker 10: Yeah, So I just think it's quite Yeah, it just
13:15
Speaker 10: it doesn't fill me with joy.
13:16
Speaker 2: Put it that way.
13:17
Speaker 10: Now, after all, the Joy's brought others with his golf
13:19
Speaker 10: through the years, and you know, we were talking what
13:20
Speaker 10: this time last week was potentially going to come and
13:23
Speaker 10: play the Masters after playing his TGL events for Jupiter,
13:28
Speaker 10: his own you know, obviously setting up with Roy McElroy.
13:31
Speaker 10: But now he's just looking at how he's going to
13:33
Speaker 10: resurrect his life again.
13:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, very sad. Indeed, Andrew appreciate your time this morning.
13:37
Speaker 2: He's right, Andrew Ordison used to to big sport. It
13:40
Speaker 2: is twenty three minutes after five this school. You might
13:43
Speaker 2: have heard in the news about the school band. The
13:45
Speaker 2: phone banner should say in schools. So ERRO has come out,
13:49
Speaker 2: The Education Review Office has come out and said compliance
13:52
Speaker 2: is shoddy. About fifty percent compliance at schools. The most
13:57
Speaker 2: common cause of rule breaking is contact from parents and family. Now,
14:03
Speaker 2: if you're a parent out there listening this morning, you're
14:06
Speaker 2: the problem, aren't you. I mean everyone complains, Oh, my
14:09
Speaker 2: kids so addicted to their phone, they've got anxiety. Will
14:12
Speaker 2: stop messaging them while they're meant to be at school?
14:15
Speaker 2: What's wrong with you? When I was at school, my
14:18
Speaker 2: mum was in a terrible accident. This is a sort
14:21
Speaker 2: of a diversion, but a terrible accident on her bike.
14:23
Speaker 2: She was hit by a truck and I remember, I
14:26
Speaker 2: mean it probably was hours later that we got a
14:29
Speaker 2: note come through the main office that went to the
14:31
Speaker 2: secretary that came to this classroom. You know, it took
14:34
Speaker 2: a while to get there, but we got the message.
14:37
Speaker 2: She was okay. Took a while to recover, but you know,
14:40
Speaker 2: there are important things that happen for which your child
14:43
Speaker 2: will need to be informed, which the school is perfectly
14:45
Speaker 2: capable of doing. Do you need to be messaging your
14:49
Speaker 2: child constantly? You silly helicopter parents? Twenty five after five,
14:56
Speaker 2: Good morning, It's Monday.
14:57
Speaker 1: The early edition Full The Show podcast on a radio
15:01
Speaker 1: powered by Newstalks.
15:02
Speaker 2: IV NEWSSB twenty seven minutes after five. New Zealand First's
15:07
Speaker 2: mining policy hits all the right notes, but ultimately it's
15:10
Speaker 2: not really worth the paper it's written on. And I'll
15:12
Speaker 2: tell you why. On the whole kiwis I don't think
15:15
Speaker 2: mind a bit of mining on the whole, so long
15:17
Speaker 2: as there are good jobs to be had. It's in
15:19
Speaker 2: the right place. I preferably not in the middle of
15:22
Speaker 2: Milford Sound. Last year the government took in more than
15:25
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty million bucks in royalties alone from mining.
15:29
Speaker 2: But there was a poll we spoke about this pole
15:32
Speaker 2: just a few weeks ago on the program. Half of
15:34
Speaker 2: voters don't think that we get a good enough deal,
15:38
Speaker 2: a fair enough return from those mining companies. So to
15:42
Speaker 2: fat pacify this problem, New Zealand First wants to give
15:44
Speaker 2: half the royalties back to the regions where the resources
15:47
Speaker 2: come from. It might get them blue collar votes on
15:51
Speaker 2: the coast, but it won't fix the big problem we have,
15:54
Speaker 2: which is investor confidence. If you're an international player with
15:58
Speaker 2: options and a world in front of you, the disruption,
16:01
Speaker 2: the civil disobedience, the political uncertainty on display here don't
16:06
Speaker 2: go unnoticed. It's all very well having these pro mining
16:10
Speaker 2: policies and fast tracks, but if they the threat of
16:13
Speaker 2: a Labor Greens government hangs over your permits, what are
16:17
Speaker 2: they really worth. Prospectors have just been given a reminder
16:21
Speaker 2: of this in New South Wales, a state that was
16:24
Speaker 2: built on coal. Despite it being one of the state's
16:27
Speaker 2: top exports twenty three billion in exports, twenty four thousand jobs,
16:32
Speaker 2: two point seven billion in royalties, the Labor government there
16:36
Speaker 2: is banning new mines. Sound familiar, much like the Labour
16:40
Speaker 2: Greens Just Transition for jobs in Tartanaki. Labor New South
16:45
Speaker 2: Wales has invented the Future Jobs and Investment Authority to
16:49
Speaker 2: magic up replacement roles for miners in the Hunter Central
16:52
Speaker 2: West Coast, Illawarra and Northwest. You'll remember how well that
16:56
Speaker 2: went for us here in New Zealand, the Just Transition.
17:00
Speaker 2: The irony of all of this is that the Workers'
17:02
Speaker 2: union doesn't like it. They've called out Labour's move and
17:09
Speaker 2: here that's led to them backing parties, probably like New
17:13
Speaker 2: Zealand first on the coast. Ultimately, it's all rearranging the
17:16
Speaker 2: deck chairs on the Titanic. Because to have jobs you
17:20
Speaker 2: need investment. To have investment, you need certainty, and to
17:23
Speaker 2: have certainty you need bipartisanship, which we don't have, Ryan Bridge.
17:29
Speaker 2: It is coming up twenty nine, well, coming up five
17:31
Speaker 2: point thirty. News is next and we're to the UK
17:34
Speaker 2: with Gavin news Talk said b.
17:43
Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth
17:45
Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof Love
17:50
Speaker 1: where you live News Talks at B.
17:58
Speaker 2: Twenty four away from six. It's day morning, Gavin Grays
18:01
Speaker 2: in the UK for us surely, and we'll get to
18:02
Speaker 2: David Semil before top of the hour as well on diesel,
18:05
Speaker 2: but we'll ask him about the L and G backdown.
18:07
Speaker 2: Sounds like the government's getting ready to do shover and
18:10
Speaker 2: reverse and do a U turn on LNG. We had
18:13
Speaker 2: some numbers out Friday, which I normally tell you these
18:15
Speaker 2: on Monday because well I'm left by the time they
18:18
Speaker 2: come out, but they are important. This is the consumer
18:20
Speaker 2: confidence numbers from am Z and basically it's doing what
18:23
Speaker 2: you thought it would do, which is hit our mojo,
18:26
Speaker 2: hit our confidence. It's down an Z. Roy Morgan consumer
18:29
Speaker 2: confidence fell from one hundred and February to ninety one
18:33
Speaker 2: point three in March remember, anything less than one hundred
18:35
Speaker 2: is going backwards. So we're down basically ten points. We're
18:39
Speaker 2: back to where we were at the end of last year.
18:43
Speaker 2: Our proportion of households thinking it's a good time to
18:46
Speaker 2: go and buy a major household item fell ten points
18:49
Speaker 2: now minus fourteen, back where that was in October. Thank
18:53
Speaker 2: you Trump. We're also happy about this having a look
18:56
Speaker 2: at those because if you think about that number, that's
18:58
Speaker 2: quite an important one. In fact, the leading retail indicator
19:02
Speaker 2: is that would you go buy a new couch? And
19:05
Speaker 2: we have only had one month out of the last
19:09
Speaker 2: four years, so one month out of forty eight months
19:12
Speaker 2: where we have thought it is a good time to
19:14
Speaker 2: go and buy a new couch, graham Bridge and it's not.
19:17
Speaker 2: Now Calum proctal with us from Duned and Morning Callum, right,
19:21
Speaker 2: what's happening with Warbirds over Wonka? With the US part
19:25
Speaker 2: pulling out?
19:27
Speaker 6: He will in fact, all modern military aircraft have pulled out.
19:30
Speaker 1: Ryan.
19:31
Speaker 6: This is such a huge disappointment for the show's organizers.
19:34
Speaker 6: With Warbirds set to go this Easter weekend, so that
19:38
Speaker 6: also includes the withdrawal of the F twenty two Raptors.
19:40
Speaker 6: They were such a big draw card, the auransf and
19:44
Speaker 6: visiting air forces from Australia, the US and Singapore have
19:46
Speaker 6: all pulled out. The New Zealand Defense Force confirming their
19:49
Speaker 6: withdrawals due to the rising cost of aviation fuel. Our
19:53
Speaker 6: general managers Ed Taylor. He says this is a setback,
19:55
Speaker 6: but they still determine to put on a stunning show.
19:58
Speaker 6: He says they have other Internet national and national displays
20:01
Speaker 6: and they're in the process of revising the program which
20:04
Speaker 6: will be released today. Both the Saturday and Sunday shows
20:07
Speaker 6: sell out. Tickets are still available for Friday.
20:10
Speaker 2: That's a real shame. How's the weather?
20:13
Speaker 6: But we here today shall z early low cloud, fog
20:15
Speaker 6: sou westerly is the high today? Twenty All right?
20:18
Speaker 2: Mate? Clear and christ Church morning?
20:19
Speaker 11: Clear, good morning.
20:21
Speaker 2: How is a Christchurch charity benefit benefiting from a crime spree?
20:25
Speaker 12: Yeah, this is a curious story. And we've got ovens,
20:28
Speaker 12: cooktops at lighting and a few other new fixtures that
20:32
Speaker 12: were stolen in a pattern of late night burglaries from
20:34
Speaker 12: residential construction sites in the areas of range Order and
20:38
Speaker 12: Rolliston last year. Now a forty two year old man's
20:40
Speaker 12: been sentenced to nine and a half months home detention
20:43
Speaker 12: in the christ Church District Court for that offending. What's
20:46
Speaker 12: a little unusual, though, is the judge ordering that all
20:49
Speaker 12: recovered property with no known owner be donated to a charity,
20:53
Speaker 12: namely Habitat for Humanity Now. Area Prevention Manager Senior Sergeant
20:58
Speaker 12: Rachel Walker says she's really to see that the fifty
21:01
Speaker 12: two appliances and fittings will directly benefit people in need.
21:05
Speaker 2: All right, how's you with her?
21:06
Speaker 12: Mostly clandly. There is a few showers about today, northeasteries
21:09
Speaker 12: turning southerly as well, and high of seventeen.
21:11
Speaker 2: All right, thank you Max and Wellington Morning Max, Good
21:14
Speaker 2: morning Tamatha Paul supporting criminals again.
21:16
Speaker 8: Yeah, exactly, continuing her virulent anti police stance. What the
21:21
Speaker 8: Wellington Central MP effectively defending her decision to write a
21:24
Speaker 8: letter of support for a serial tagger, a thirty seven
21:28
Speaker 8: year old who for years has been defacing Wellington's buildings,
21:32
Speaker 8: not just here but also in Auckland, Melbourne, Sydney. Carl
21:35
Speaker 8: Truell was dw in courts he DM Tamatha Paul on
21:39
Speaker 8: social media asking her to write him a letter of support,
21:42
Speaker 8: which she did, noting his pursuit of sobriety and community work.
21:47
Speaker 8: The judge basically threw it away. He was sentenced to
21:50
Speaker 8: eighteen months intensive supervision and more community work one hundred
21:54
Speaker 8: more hours. In fact, an odd decision by Paul. She
21:57
Speaker 8: says she wasn't trying to get him off the hook,
22:00
Speaker 8: rather standing up for his good side. A twenty twenty
22:03
Speaker 8: two documentary shows this guy vandalizing buildings and shoplifting, with
22:08
Speaker 8: him saying he has no plans to stop his illegal behavior.
22:11
Speaker 8: The council at the time in twenty twenty two, of
22:14
Speaker 8: which Paul was, of course a counselor, called it nauseating
22:17
Speaker 8: and estimated his tagging had cost a Wellington alone over
22:20
Speaker 8: a million bucks.
22:22
Speaker 2: For those who don't know, I read this story with interest.
22:24
Speaker 1: It's pork.
22:25
Speaker 2: If you've ever seen the word pork written over a
22:28
Speaker 2: building in Wellington or Auckland's, that's the guy.
22:31
Speaker 8: Yeah, very I left that part out because I didn't
22:34
Speaker 8: want to promote his work.
22:36
Speaker 2: Oh well, I've gone and done it is anyone, and
22:39
Speaker 2: I'm going to go out and buy one now. Pork
22:42
Speaker 2: sails are through the roof. How's you wear that?
22:46
Speaker 8: Mostly cloudy with some drizzle nor the least twenty.
22:50
Speaker 2: Mechs making bold editorial decisions. Is thank you mex good morning?
22:55
Speaker 2: Never good morning? Or can councilor one's answers on Oh,
23:00
Speaker 2: this party in Mount.
23:01
Speaker 13: Albert, Yes, the party that went about of control. Six
23:05
Speaker 13: young people. They were injured. This party in Mount or
23:07
Speaker 13: Mount Albert, I should say happened on Friday nights, so
23:11
Speaker 13: we know that one person required surgery. This is after
23:14
Speaker 13: reports of this party of machete's assaults, are car being
23:18
Speaker 13: driven into party goers. Police there on the case. They
23:21
Speaker 13: said that you know, investigations are ongoing. But local councilor
23:25
Speaker 13: Christine Fletcher, see she's heard of similar issues. This is
23:28
Speaker 13: at the same property in the past. Now we do
23:30
Speaker 13: know that locals are saying that this property is listed
23:32
Speaker 13: on you know, short term rental sites, and Christine Fletcher
23:36
Speaker 13: is saying, you know, the council's going to get a
23:38
Speaker 13: volved investigate this so it doesn't happen again.
23:40
Speaker 2: One hundred percent. Actually it must happen everywhere. Nine two
23:44
Speaker 2: ninety two text me if you've had a party next
23:46
Speaker 2: door in airbnb. Can't just be Mount Albert. No, that's right,
23:50
Speaker 2: very bad. How's that weather?
23:51
Speaker 1: Cloudy?
23:51
Speaker 13: Few showers? It is Muggie twenty three is the high.
23:54
Speaker 13: It is currently twenty right now here in Auckland.
23:57
Speaker 2: Good never, thank you, eighteen away from six where we're
24:00
Speaker 2: Gavin in the UK. Next. If you're a small business owner,
24:03
Speaker 2: you will know how annoying tax time is. It's not
24:06
Speaker 2: just annoying, it can be overwhelming for some people. And
24:09
Speaker 2: if you're feeling a bit in the dark at the moment,
24:11
Speaker 2: it is quite comforting to know that there's actually no
24:14
Speaker 2: such thing as a silly question when it comes to
24:17
Speaker 2: your business finances. Questions like are my bills and receipts
24:20
Speaker 2: even organized? Or how do I handle payroll and stay
24:23
Speaker 2: compliant at the same time, These are real worries that
24:26
Speaker 2: people have. That's where zero comes in. Their platform makes
24:30
Speaker 2: it very simple, automated bank feeds, straightforward bill capture, everything
24:35
Speaker 2: sorted and stored neatly and ready when you need it.
24:38
Speaker 2: And they've got something called x hacks, which are basically
24:41
Speaker 2: short videos and they quickly teach you how to streamline
24:44
Speaker 2: your bank reconciliations or collaborate better with your accountant online.
24:48
Speaker 2: Who doesn't like a bit of that. So if you
24:50
Speaker 2: want to take control of your tax season and do
24:53
Speaker 2: it with confidence. Do it with clarity instead of stress
24:56
Speaker 2: and confusion. Head to zero dot com forward slash x
25:00
Speaker 2: hacks hub that's zero with an X your business supercharged
25:05
Speaker 2: with zero rich talks. BI Rubio over the weekend was
25:09
Speaker 2: talking about weeks not months for the.
25:11
Speaker 9: War as a Department of War since thesily outline, we
25:14
Speaker 9: are on or had a schedule in that operation and
25:17
Speaker 9: we expected concluded of the appropriate time here a matter
25:20
Speaker 9: of weeks and months, and the progress is on very well.
25:23
Speaker 9: Obviously we have some lords and do we have to
25:25
Speaker 9: tinge the job here. We are finishing that job.
25:28
Speaker 2: Yes, But the Iranians still have a hell of a
25:30
Speaker 2: lot of missiles stockpiled. And this is according to a
25:33
Speaker 2: Reuters report. They've hit bah Rain overnight, They've hit q
25:35
Speaker 2: eight overnight US soldiers, a dozen of them injured in
25:39
Speaker 2: a Saudi year base at the weekend. According to this
25:41
Speaker 2: Reuters report, about a third of Tehran's missiles have been destroyed,
25:46
Speaker 2: a third are currently damaged or buried underground, and the
25:51
Speaker 2: other third presumably is sitting there ready to go.
25:53
Speaker 1: It is fourteen to six international correspondence with ends in
25:57
Speaker 1: eye insurance, peace of mind, but in business.
26:02
Speaker 2: Devin gray Are, UK Europe correspondent Gavin good Morning, twenty
26:05
Speaker 2: two migrants have died off the Greek coast.
26:09
Speaker 14: Ryan a really horrid story. This The group had spent
26:13
Speaker 14: six days in a dinghy bound for Europe without really
26:16
Speaker 14: any food or water. The weather worsened and many on
26:20
Speaker 14: the boat died. Yeah we know of twenty two. There
26:22
Speaker 14: were twenty six survivors, including a woman and a child.
26:25
Speaker 14: Very unusually, lots of these boats take off from North
26:29
Speaker 14: Africa trying to reach southern Europe. In this instance, of
26:32
Speaker 14: those who survived, the nationalities included Bangladeshi as well as
26:40
Speaker 14: there were just a couple of people from North Africa,
26:42
Speaker 14: so it's quite unusual that there should have been so
26:45
Speaker 14: many Bangladeshis on board. But it shows the world wide
26:48
Speaker 14: draw for using this route. Now, the problem is we're
26:51
Speaker 14: still in our spring winter weather here. This route is
26:55
Speaker 14: normally done during summer months where it's karma. Not the
26:58
Speaker 14: case this time. And two men from South to Sudan
27:01
Speaker 14: aged nineteen and twenty two, have been arrested on suspicion
27:05
Speaker 14: of people trafficking. They are under investigation for illegal entry
27:09
Speaker 14: into the country and negligent homicide with Greek Coast Guard
27:12
Speaker 14: in charge of the operation.
27:14
Speaker 2: What about the EU biometric border chicks that were due
27:17
Speaker 2: to start at Dover in the euro Tunnel, what's happening
27:20
Speaker 2: with him?
27:21
Speaker 14: Yes, well, biometric techs are due to be fully implemented
27:25
Speaker 14: at all airports in the European Union from the tenth
27:29
Speaker 14: of April, so a couple of weeks away, and it
27:31
Speaker 14: does mean that everyone going to Europe from the UK
27:34
Speaker 14: or from outside the EU is going to need this
27:37
Speaker 14: special form the EES as it's called the Entry Exit system,
27:41
Speaker 14: requiring you to undergo full biometric tests. Now the problem
27:45
Speaker 14: is that they've had to put it back because of
27:48
Speaker 14: the technology issues, and now it looks like it's going
27:51
Speaker 14: to be put back at the port of Dover. Dover
27:54
Speaker 14: is a massive port in the southeast of England. It
27:56
Speaker 14: is one of the shortest sea journeys to get into
27:59
Speaker 14: the continent of US Europe, very very popular. We are
28:02
Speaker 14: starting a course to see the easter rise and then
28:04
Speaker 14: a steep rise in traffic with families going across in cars,
28:08
Speaker 14: and the idea that it's still not working because of
28:10
Speaker 14: technical issues will be of huge concern to the EU
28:13
Speaker 14: and a lot of hassleized. Dare say to British travelers
28:16
Speaker 14: as well. British passengers, would you to start having their
28:19
Speaker 14: photo and fingerprints taken from that date the tenth of
28:24
Speaker 14: April to be allowed to enter France. You can imagine
28:27
Speaker 14: a coach load of people, everyone needing fingerprints taken, everyone
28:30
Speaker 14: needing photos taken out. There are going to be pre
28:34
Speaker 14: entry checks that you can do of course online. But nevertheless,
28:38
Speaker 14: this is a massive undertaking and it's still not working.
28:40
Speaker 2: Devin, Thank you. Gevin Gray are UK europe correspondent, a
28:43
Speaker 2: living away.
28:43
Speaker 1: From six Ryan Bridge.
28:45
Speaker 2: Everd seymoor Beckheim looking for rid tape to caps to
28:48
Speaker 2: get more mileage out of our fuel stocks. His regulation
28:51
Speaker 2: ministry wants businesses in the public to dobbin any regulations
28:54
Speaker 2: that might get in the way of our fuel response.
28:57
Speaker 2: He's with me this morning. Good morning, minister, good morning.
29:01
Speaker 2: Good to have you on the show. It sounds like
29:03
Speaker 2: we've been primed. Just reading the papers this morning and
29:06
Speaker 2: listening to it, it sounds like we've been primed for
29:08
Speaker 2: a bit of a U turn on the LNG situation.
29:10
Speaker 2: What do you reckon.
29:14
Speaker 15: That I'm aware of. It's a policy that was designed
29:17
Speaker 15: to address a very simple problem. That is that we
29:21
Speaker 15: always hear the electricity companies make massive profits but don't
29:26
Speaker 15: invest in enough generation options. This policy effectively forces them
29:31
Speaker 15: to invest in one. And given the price we pay
29:35
Speaker 15: as always the lowest available source of energy at any
29:40
Speaker 15: given time, having an additional option in the form of
29:46
Speaker 15: LNG actually means that when it's dry and the dams
29:51
Speaker 15: aren't full, and it's nighttime and the soul is not shining,
29:54
Speaker 15: and maybe the wind's not blowing the turbines, we have
29:57
Speaker 15: another option to keep the price down. I would have thought,
30:01
Speaker 15: if you can get the energy companies forced into investing,
30:04
Speaker 15: if you can get prices down, that's got to be
30:07
Speaker 15: a win win, because if the current circumstance tells us anything,
30:11
Speaker 15: we need optionality, as many options as possible. I would
30:14
Speaker 15: have preferred we didn't ban oil and guess exploration, but
30:18
Speaker 15: unfortunately that was labor and first green government.
30:23
Speaker 2: But if we deliver, Yeah, But if the price of
30:26
Speaker 2: LERG is going to be higher for longer, then does
30:28
Speaker 2: building a terminal make sense right now? You know?
30:32
Speaker 15: Well, if if you look at the price over the
30:35
Speaker 15: long term, there are times when housing LNG will be better.
30:40
Speaker 15: If it so those dry winters and cold still nights
30:44
Speaker 15: where it makes a difference. Now, it would be easy
30:47
Speaker 15: to take the lesson that because energy prices are high
30:51
Speaker 15: right now, we should make all our decisions around that.
30:53
Speaker 15: I think the lesson that it's better to take is
30:57
Speaker 15: that the world is uncertain and the more options you have,
31:02
Speaker 15: the lower you prices likely to be.
31:04
Speaker 2: All right, what are you asking people to provide you with?
31:07
Speaker 2: This is the red tape regulation for fuel in New Zealand.
31:11
Speaker 2: What exactly are you asking people for here?
31:15
Speaker 15: Yeah, So the red Tape tipline's been running for about
31:17
Speaker 15: a year. It's had a couple of thousand people come
31:19
Speaker 15: in with really specific ideas. It's led to making it
31:23
Speaker 15: easier to get probate out of a will, making it
31:26
Speaker 15: easier to build a garden shed or bake cakes to
31:29
Speaker 15: sell in your home. There's lots of things that have
31:31
Speaker 15: come through the Red Tape tip line that we've actually changed,
31:34
Speaker 15: and now we're just making the point there may be
31:36
Speaker 15: examples of red tape and stupid rules that stop you
31:40
Speaker 15: from being able to be energy efficient. So someone, for example,
31:44
Speaker 15: we've already had a few dozen in the first few hours,
31:47
Speaker 15: but when we launched it, yesterday. But someone just said,
31:50
Speaker 15: look in New Zealand, you're allowed up to ten percent
31:55
Speaker 15: ethanol in petrol. In the US it's fifteen percent. Maybe
32:00
Speaker 15: if we relaxed our restriction on FNL content, we could
32:04
Speaker 15: get a bit more value out of our petrol.
32:06
Speaker 2: Now.
32:07
Speaker 15: You know, I'm not saying we sure.
32:09
Speaker 2: Shouldn't do that. You're looking over they'll look into Yep. Brilliant.
32:13
Speaker 15: You know we didn't think of it, but we can
32:16
Speaker 15: now do something about it.
32:17
Speaker 2: Brilliant. David, appreciate your time. David Seymour, Minister for Regulation.
32:20
Speaker 2: It is seven to six News Talks at.
32:22
Speaker 1: B the first Word on the News of the Day
32:26
Speaker 1: Early edition with Ryan Bridge and one Route Love Where
32:31
Speaker 1: you Live News Talks a'd.
32:32
Speaker 2: B five away from six. Mic is in with you next.
32:35
Speaker 2: Good morning, Mike, greetings to you Ryan Lovely. Short Easter
32:38
Speaker 2: week this week. Will you be eating fish on Friday? No?
32:41
Speaker 11: I don't like fish Friday or any other day. But
32:44
Speaker 11: I didn't even realize it was Easter. Yeah, we were
32:46
Speaker 11: talking over the weekend and days we beat me up
32:48
Speaker 11: in the country. Traffic, by the way, my my monitoring
32:52
Speaker 11: of traffic. Now, so we come back from the country
32:54
Speaker 11: each weekend last week in quiet, and I thought, oh,
32:57
Speaker 11: it could be could be the petrol, or it could
32:59
Speaker 11: be quite weekend every now and again last weekend as
33:02
Speaker 11: and yesterday quiet again. So one hundred cent.
