Speaker 1: The issues, the interviews and the inside Ryan Bridge on
0:06
Speaker 1: early edition with one roof make your property search simple,
0:11
Speaker 1: US dogs, that'd be.
0:13
Speaker 2: Good morning, Welcome to your Monday, Judith Collins live on
0:16
Speaker 2: those new choppers. Any of our soldiers going to get
0:19
Speaker 2: a pay rise out of this, We'll ask. We'll also
0:21
Speaker 2: love to Australia to figure out exactly why Elbow won
0:25
Speaker 2: and increased his majority over there. Gavin Gray and the
0:28
Speaker 2: UK su Moranian terrorists are suspected of targeting a specific site.
0:33
Speaker 2: We'll ask him which one? Plus Andrew Allison here was sport,
0:37
Speaker 2: the Warriors, great Liam laws and goods. But then what
0:39
Speaker 2: happened to his points? Super Rugby? So much to talk about,
0:43
Speaker 2: Good morning.
0:46
Speaker 1: The agenda.
0:47
Speaker 2: It is Monday, the fifth of May. The Hut, he's
0:49
Speaker 2: still not under control. Clearly they've hit inside Israel and
0:53
Speaker 2: airport and Tel Aviv Netanyah. He's going to hit them
0:55
Speaker 2: right back.
0:57
Speaker 3: Israel.
0:58
Speaker 4: Also, the US and the UK have carried out a
1:01
Speaker 4: number of strikes on Houthi targets in Yaman to try
1:06
Speaker 4: to not only stop these attacks from the hoof thats
1:08
Speaker 4: on Israel, but also to stop attacks that the Houthis
1:12
Speaker 4: have carried out on commercial ships in the red.
1:15
Speaker 2: Seat to the US. Is he gonna was he joking?
1:19
Speaker 2: Does he want to be a dictator? This is Trump
1:22
Speaker 2: and a potential third term. He's just said this on NBC.
1:25
Speaker 5: This is not something I'm looking to do.
1:27
Speaker 2: But I think we're gonna have four years, and I
1:29
Speaker 2: think four years is plenty of time to do something
1:31
Speaker 2: really spectacular. We're across the Tasman on the election shortly,
1:34
Speaker 2: but doesn't losing his seat up to twenty four years
1:37
Speaker 2: is a bit embarrassing. Now.
1:38
Speaker 6: We didn't do well enough during this campaign. That much
1:41
Speaker 6: is obvious tonight and I accept full responsibility for that.
1:45
Speaker 2: Finally, Cabana Beach, Brazil, somebody was going to bomb and
1:50
Speaker 2: Lady Gaga concert. The cop stopped at Constant when he
1:52
Speaker 2: had two million turned up.
1:54
Speaker 7: They arrested two people and it was a plot orchestrated
1:57
Speaker 7: by group writing hate speech and the radicalization of teenagers,
2:01
Speaker 7: which includes self harm and violent content in a form
2:05
Speaker 7: of social belonging. That was the whole point of this group,
2:08
Speaker 7: according to Civil Please.
2:10
Speaker 2: That's your agenda for Monday morning, eight after five on.
2:14
Speaker 1: Your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early Edition with Ryan
2:19
Speaker 1: Bridge and one roof. Make your property search simple if
2:23
Speaker 1: you talk, said.
2:23
Speaker 2: Be Steve says, good morning, Ryan. I think people don't
2:26
Speaker 2: like men with shaved bald heads e g. Dussn't and Luxon, Well,
2:30
Speaker 2: Luxon did win an election. Remember that Dussin obviously hasn't
2:35
Speaker 2: and quite spectacularly failed doing so. But what's worse than
2:40
Speaker 2: what else do you mean to do? If your head
2:42
Speaker 2: is balding, but shave it. You know what's worse than
2:45
Speaker 2: a bald man with a shaved head is a bald
2:48
Speaker 2: man with a patchy head. I would have thought. Anyway,
2:52
Speaker 2: Good morning to you. Great to have your company so
2:54
Speaker 2: much to talk about today around the world, but also
2:56
Speaker 2: here we'll talk about those c Sprite helicopters. First, watch
2:59
Speaker 2: that pre conference yesterday with Judith Collins. Look, there's some
3:02
Speaker 2: good stuff in there. You've got nine hundred and fifty
3:04
Speaker 2: seven million over four years in your estate, your personnel,
3:08
Speaker 2: that is good. The missions. They're going to sale more,
3:11
Speaker 2: they're going to fly more, they're going to train more,
3:13
Speaker 2: they're going to operate more. They're going to get better housing,
3:16
Speaker 2: they're going to get better kit. You're going to get
3:19
Speaker 2: more money in your pocket. You're going to go further,
3:22
Speaker 2: for longer, and more often on missions. If you're a soldier,
3:25
Speaker 2: if you work in the defense force, that is awesome.
3:27
Speaker 2: That's great news. It's exactly what you want to be doing,
3:30
Speaker 2: not sitting out the back of some MiQ facility. There's
3:34
Speaker 2: no economic prosperity without security, is the government's line. I
3:39
Speaker 2: wonder how how people feel, whether there's enough impetus around that,
3:44
Speaker 2: whether people agree with that enough to be spending the
3:47
Speaker 2: kind of money that we're about to be spending. No
3:49
Speaker 2: doubt we've got to spend it, but I wonder whether
3:51
Speaker 2: people are on board with it at this point. So
3:54
Speaker 2: we'll get some new helicopters, But are they at risk
3:58
Speaker 2: the government? Are they at risk of making announcements about announcements.
4:02
Speaker 2: This is actually not even an announcement about an announcement.
4:05
Speaker 2: It's an announcement about an announcement about an announcement because
4:10
Speaker 2: they haven't even got a business case through cabinet. All
4:13
Speaker 2: they're announcing is that they have put some money aside
4:15
Speaker 2: from five Sea Sprite helicopters. They haven't got a business
4:19
Speaker 2: case through cabinet yet. So you've got nothing ordered, you've
4:22
Speaker 2: got no contract signed, you haven't even got a request
4:25
Speaker 2: for a procurement process to kick off. Yet it'd be
4:29
Speaker 2: like telling your friends you go and buy a house
4:31
Speaker 2: and your wife actually hasn't agreed to it yet. You
4:33
Speaker 2: know it's pointless, isn't it. I don't know. They do
4:39
Speaker 2: run the rest. Remember that was the syndrome that befell
4:41
Speaker 2: the previous government. So just be careful due to Collins
4:44
Speaker 2: is on the program just before six this morning, so
4:47
Speaker 2: we'll talk to her about that. Some excellent news. This
4:50
Speaker 2: is to kick you off on a positive note for
4:52
Speaker 2: your Monday morning. This is fantastic because we know that
4:55
Speaker 2: our kids reading and writing and maths and everything has
4:58
Speaker 2: been a bit shye lately. Well, promising signs out of Northland.
5:03
Speaker 2: This was a story up from Friday. And remember the
5:05
Speaker 2: NZDA are the unions pushed back on structured literacy. This
5:10
Speaker 2: is where you make this the sound out the words.
5:13
Speaker 2: You sound out the sounds and then you make the words.
5:17
Speaker 2: Made sense when I went to school, but it all
5:18
Speaker 2: changed and it all went up the wazoo. Anyway, Early
5:21
Speaker 2: findings from Northland positive results for sounding out your words
5:27
Speaker 2: at least this is term one. The government's brought this in.
5:30
Speaker 2: Early findings from ero two things to watch for. Half
5:34
Speaker 2: of teachers report that structured literacy approaches have improved student
5:38
Speaker 2: engagement a lot. Three quarters of teachers say structured literacy
5:43
Speaker 2: approaches have improved literacy for most students. That is fantastic. Yes,
5:49
Speaker 2: it's early days, but it's fantastic news. And who would
5:53
Speaker 2: have thought because the unions didn't like it, they're going
5:58
Speaker 2: to have to now maybe they're wrong about charter schools too.
6:01
Speaker 2: Maybe they are. Twelve minutes after five news talks, there'd
6:04
Speaker 2: b will get to Ozzie next for the election.
6:07
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge on Illly edition, Where's one roof make your
6:10
Speaker 1: Property Search Simple?
6:12
Speaker 2: Youth Talk zebby interesting fourteen minutes after five news talks said,
6:16
Speaker 2: be Singaporeans. They have kept their incumbent too. This is
6:19
Speaker 2: the PAP Party governed them since nineteen fifty nine. If
6:22
Speaker 2: you've been to Singapore, you know it is a democracy.
6:25
Speaker 2: They do have free and fair elections, but there's derrymandering
6:29
Speaker 2: that goes on. The media is all controlled up the wazoos,
6:31
Speaker 2: so you wouldn't call it a strict democracy in the
6:34
Speaker 2: way that we know it. But anyway, they've kept their
6:36
Speaker 2: lot and romania while you know Australia and Canada running
6:40
Speaker 2: a mile from Trump, Romania running towards him. This is Simeon.
6:44
Speaker 2: He's the thirty eight year old says he's a natural
6:46
Speaker 2: ally of Trump. He liked Trump and like Vance, don't
6:50
Speaker 2: like support for Ukraine. He borders Ukraine anyway. He's having
6:53
Speaker 2: a second round of voting. Looks like he'll get through too.
6:56
Speaker 2: It is quarter past five, Rayan Bridge, so Elbow's done it.
7:00
Speaker 2: First Labor prime minister since Hawk to go back to
7:02
Speaker 2: back today.
7:04
Speaker 5: The Australian people have voted for Australian values, for fairness,
7:13
Speaker 5: aspiration and opportunity for all.
7:18
Speaker 2: And he gets a bigger majority, which means that you
7:21
Speaker 2: gave Paul we told you about on Friday was pretty
7:23
Speaker 2: much on the money. The trivia on the opposition benches grim.
7:27
Speaker 2: No federal opposition leader has lost their electric seat during
7:30
Speaker 2: an Australian election general election until Dutton lost his at
7:35
Speaker 2: the weekend. Leslie Yeomans, Australia correspondent, Good.
7:38
Speaker 8: Morning, Good morning Ryan.
7:40
Speaker 2: It's never one thing that loses you an election or
7:43
Speaker 2: wins it was it uncertainty about Trump was dust and
7:47
Speaker 2: crap on the campaign trail. I mean I don't get
7:49
Speaker 2: the sense that this was we love elbow. Was it? No?
7:55
Speaker 9: And you're right, there wasn't one thing. The Liberals were
8:00
Speaker 9: pretty crap on the campaign trail, putting it bluntly. Look,
8:05
Speaker 9: there's never ever really one thing that the whole electorate,
8:11
Speaker 9: the whole voting population votes for a reason.
8:16
Speaker 8: The Liberals just had a.
8:18
Speaker 9: Really bad campaign and people didn't like Peter Dutton as
8:22
Speaker 9: a possible prime minister, and the fact that he lost
8:25
Speaker 9: his seat like John Howard did. John Howard lost his
8:28
Speaker 9: seat back in and was it keven O seven two
8:32
Speaker 9: thousand and seven, wasn't it? John Howard lost his seat.
8:36
Speaker 9: Tony Abbott lost his seat eventually, So now Dutton's lost
8:40
Speaker 9: his and he's lost it to a woman by the
8:43
Speaker 9: name of Ali France, and it was her third time
8:47
Speaker 9: going up against him in his seat Queensland Seed of Dixon.
8:51
Speaker 9: She was just just kept eating away at his small
8:56
Speaker 9: majority and got there in the end. And not just
9:01
Speaker 9: though every state went towards labor, and one of the
9:06
Speaker 9: comments on Saturday night was that Victoria is generally a
9:11
Speaker 9: very labor state. It's one of the most progressive states
9:15
Speaker 9: in the country, and Victoria was lagging behind because it
9:18
Speaker 9: wasn't as far ahead showing the swing to labor as
9:23
Speaker 9: everyone else. It was sort of like very very funny
9:26
Speaker 9: to watch, to be honest. But now in Victoria, even
9:30
Speaker 9: labor there has It's gone from no liberal MPs in
9:38
Speaker 9: city at all in any of the metropolitan areas. Same
9:41
Speaker 9: with South Australia. In Tasmania they had two liberal MPs
9:45
Speaker 9: down there. They lost both of those. So all of
9:48
Speaker 9: Tasmania is now labor except for one seat, and that's
9:51
Speaker 9: in Hobart where there is an independent who was a
9:54
Speaker 9: long standing independent in Hobart. Every state has gone red
9:59
Speaker 9: to labor and and it's it's been just a pretty
10:02
Speaker 9: amazing sort of thing. You know, when some of the
10:04
Speaker 9: polls were saying that there was a possibility of a
10:07
Speaker 9: labor minority government or even a liberal win or it
10:11
Speaker 9: just went hold my beer, not now we're going, We're
10:16
Speaker 9: going all the way.
10:18
Speaker 2: Great, great analysis of it. Leslie, really appreciate that. This morning,
10:21
Speaker 2: Leslie Oman's our Australia correspondent. I've got a few thoughts
10:24
Speaker 2: on this. I've getten to you before half pass next.
10:27
Speaker 2: Andrew Alison, with all of that beautiful sport from the weekend, the.
10:32
Speaker 1: News you need this morning and the in depth analysis
10:35
Speaker 1: early edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof make your
10:38
Speaker 1: Property search Simple News Talks.
10:41
Speaker 2: It'd be five twenty one, News Talk said be due
10:43
Speaker 2: to Collins here before six Andrew Alison was sport. Good morning,
10:46
Speaker 2: Greeting's right, I haven't seen you in a while.
10:48
Speaker 10: Yeah, I just had the autumnal break.
10:50
Speaker 2: Lovely nice way nice, thanks very much.
10:54
Speaker 1: Ron.
10:54
Speaker 2: Hey, Warrior is doing really well?
10:56
Speaker 10: Oh is there a team in world sport that takes
10:59
Speaker 10: you on a high and you know, troughs and peaks
11:02
Speaker 10: more than the Warriors. I watched that game, or at
11:03
Speaker 10: least the second half of it on the weekend and
11:06
Speaker 10: against the Cowboy is the four point win, but gee,
11:08
Speaker 10: what they're up twenty eight to twelve at halftime, I think,
11:12
Speaker 10: and yeah, cursing them one minute and cheering them the next,
11:15
Speaker 10: that really is.
11:17
Speaker 2: Quite the ride.
11:18
Speaker 10: And they got their end. Have moved now to well
11:20
Speaker 10: they would temporarily top of the table, but with the
11:23
Speaker 10: Bulldogs winning again, so they've moved out sixteen points. So
11:27
Speaker 10: the Warriors fourteenth and third on points differential.
11:30
Speaker 2: Fantastic. We'll keep that up, won't meet lawson named Lawson
11:33
Speaker 2: got some funny weekend for him too. But he will
11:35
Speaker 2: start fifteen Miami. He will of course the sprint race.
11:39
Speaker 10: The controversy there Fernando Alonso the turn eleven, turn twelve,
11:44
Speaker 10: I think Lawson was a head and twelve, but he
11:47
Speaker 10: needed to give a loonzo room. So he's penalized and
11:50
Speaker 10: lost his points in the sprint. But you will see
11:53
Speaker 10: what he can do in the longer version today. But yeah,
11:56
Speaker 10: it's a frustrating time it seems to be for Leam Lawson,
11:59
Speaker 10: just with race symbols and what they're doing. And I
12:03
Speaker 10: mean I think if he was just able to get
12:04
Speaker 10: some points that would really help his confidence and world
12:08
Speaker 10: team's confidence, I think leading into the rest of the sea.
12:10
Speaker 2: I see they were looking at taking swearing off the
12:13
Speaker 2: off the hot minks because it's causing a bit of
12:16
Speaker 2: a controversy. Surely there's a way of AI to to
12:19
Speaker 2: do this, to auto edit out. Yeah yeah, I mean
12:22
Speaker 2: who can argue with it.
12:23
Speaker 10: I mean, if one's swearing to it would be be
12:26
Speaker 10: philly billy chocole, wouldn't it.
12:28
Speaker 2: But it's stupid. If you want to get the netty
12:30
Speaker 2: gritty the inside, this is.
12:32
Speaker 10: What it is all you're doing absolutely And the thing
12:35
Speaker 10: is that when you're driving at three k's an hour
12:39
Speaker 10: and your life's on the line, Yeah, I could cursing
12:43
Speaker 10: here and.
12:44
Speaker 2: There is fire truck. No, not quite going to cut it?
12:49
Speaker 2: Cut it? Hey? Is that tong leading Mark Williams? This
12:51
Speaker 2: is the snooky in Sheffield.
12:53
Speaker 10: Oh, this is always one of the highlights of my year. Anyway,
12:56
Speaker 10: on the bays at the Crucible Theater. It's come to
13:00
Speaker 10: the climax this morning, Ryan. So we've got yeah Jintower
13:05
Speaker 10: up against Williams. Of course he's not looking to become the
13:08
Speaker 10: first Chinese winner of the event. And Williams he's already
13:12
Speaker 10: a three time champion, but he would be the oldest
13:14
Speaker 10: winner at fifty and there's an age gap of twenty
13:17
Speaker 10: two years there between the two of them. But the
13:20
Speaker 10: best in the competition so far. So we'll wait, you know,
13:23
Speaker 10: with great excitement to see what happens there.
13:25
Speaker 2: We will look forward to your.
13:27
Speaker 10: Starting again sixth the next phase of it. It goes
13:30
Speaker 10: over two days, but best of thirty five frames. Yes,
13:32
Speaker 10: so Jinta Al is up by seven frames to.
13:35
Speaker 2: What brilliant Great to see you again all lovely doing
13:38
Speaker 2: it all again. Next week Andrew I bought twenty four
13:42
Speaker 2: after five News Talks there B. What are all of
13:44
Speaker 2: these election results around the world mean for us here
13:47
Speaker 2: in New Zealand.
13:47
Speaker 1: That's next the early edition full the Show podcast on
13:51
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio powered by News Talks.
13:53
Speaker 2: It be news Talks B. It is twenty six minutes
13:57
Speaker 2: after five. No doubt Donald Trump's brand is dicey at
14:01
Speaker 2: best at home, but globally. In term one of Donald Trump,
14:05
Speaker 2: the world watched on with a mix of kind of
14:07
Speaker 2: amusement and feigned concern. Term two is very different. These
14:12
Speaker 2: results out of Canada and Australia at the weekend show,
14:14
Speaker 2: the brand is turned toxic. Like a beef Wellington at
14:17
Speaker 2: a family dinner party. We've all seen the host, the
14:21
Speaker 2: chef tucking in, but we're thinking, hmm, do we want
14:24
Speaker 2: to do the same. We can't get much closer in
14:27
Speaker 2: Styalin substance to Canada and Australia when it comes to democracy.
14:30
Speaker 2: Both chained to the Westminster system we inherited from other England,
14:33
Speaker 2: and both of our cousins have turned on their political
14:36
Speaker 2: oppositions as Trump up ends the global order to rub
14:40
Speaker 2: salt in the wornd. For both Polliev and Dutton. They
14:43
Speaker 2: lost their seats as well as their elections. We spoke
14:46
Speaker 2: about this on Friday, But what is the message here?
14:50
Speaker 2: Trump is toxic. Pollier's problem was one of style. He
14:53
Speaker 2: sounded and campaigned too much like Trump, the airport hangar
14:57
Speaker 2: with the branded plane behind him, the show on the
15:00
Speaker 2: nightly news. People didn't like that. Dutton's problem was more complicated. First,
15:04
Speaker 2: he ran a crap campaign, realizing a defense force plan
15:09
Speaker 2: so expensive against funding to three percent of GDP, I
15:12
Speaker 2: mean we can't take on Elbow's tax cuts and a
15:15
Speaker 2: cost of living crisis, and then only releasing that plan
15:18
Speaker 2: two weeks out from a campaign was done, But it
15:22
Speaker 2: was also about the word economists are spitting out like
15:25
Speaker 2: a bad stake at the moment, uncertainty. Don't ask Luxon,
15:30
Speaker 2: though he gave a bizarre response when asked about this yesterday.
15:33
Speaker 2: Have a listen.
15:34
Speaker 6: What you're seeing is in Singapore, Canada, Australia, the public
15:38
Speaker 6: voting for governments that have their eyes on the right
15:40
Speaker 6: things and the right things. For us is to make
15:42
Speaker 6: sure we don't take our eyes off the economic growth.
15:45
Speaker 6: That's why if we say growth, growth, growth, we keep
15:47
Speaker 6: talking economics and rebuilding the economy from day one.
15:50
Speaker 2: That's important. A weird thing to say. Basically, the Aussies
15:53
Speaker 2: in the Canadians simply picked the most economically credible parties
15:58
Speaker 2: in the face of uncertain times. What those parties he's
16:03
Speaker 2: endorsing are both from the left. That's the equivalent of
16:06
Speaker 2: kicking his sister parties, the Aussie Libs and the Canadian Conservatives,
16:10
Speaker 2: right in the shins when they're down. It made no sense.
16:13
Speaker 2: I think you wanted to avoid mentioning the Trump bump.
16:16
Speaker 2: Maybe what's actually happening here is not really about parties.
16:21
Speaker 2: In times of uncertainty, you don't change your horse. Mid
16:24
Speaker 2: Stream voters stick with what they know. When the world
16:28
Speaker 2: is in a spin, you don't know up from down.
16:31
Speaker 2: Human nature, for the most part is to do nothing
16:34
Speaker 2: and hope it goes away. Why risk a new government
16:37
Speaker 2: of unknown quantity. Singapore arguably just done the same. The counterfaction,
16:42
Speaker 2: of course, is obviously America. But remember the American economy
16:46
Speaker 2: was actually growing for the past few years, consumer spending
16:49
Speaker 2: was strong, inflation had come down earlier than ours. So
16:52
Speaker 2: that's a different set of circumstances as to why they
16:55
Speaker 2: went for Trump. The best comparison for what's happened in
16:58
Speaker 2: Australia and Canada in the past week is twenty twenty
17:01
Speaker 2: New Zealand. A bunch of people really worried about a
17:04
Speaker 2: perceived global threat, rallying around the flagpole and rejecting a
17:08
Speaker 2: campaign that was neither well run nor nailing the public mood,
17:11
Speaker 2: which Judith Collins disastrous twenty twenty attempt didn't whether it
17:16
Speaker 2: was Trump worried reaction to him. For Luxeon to attribute
17:20
Speaker 2: the fiscal credentials of left wing parties abroad with their
17:25
Speaker 2: success was an unnecessary own goal.
17:30
Speaker 9: Bredge Breach.
17:30

17:52
Speaker 2: six News Talks THEB. We're going to get to Judith
17:54
Speaker 2: Collins on defense before six. Also Gavin Gray in the
17:57
Speaker 2: UK for US this morning, Ryan Interest analysis on the elections.
18:02
Speaker 2: That's the Canadian and Australian the weekend. Perhaps the difference
18:05
Speaker 2: between Canada, Australia and New Zealand is that the National
18:08
Speaker 2: Party here, isn't remotely trump pest. I think that's the truth,
18:12
Speaker 2: isn't it. We've got Winston for that, haven't we. And
18:15
Speaker 2: that was on full display at that announcement, which we'll
18:18
Speaker 2: talk to Due Toth Collins about later on in the show.
18:20
Speaker 2: That was on full display at the announcement at for
18:22
Speaker 2: Nolpai yesterday. Interesting story this morning about Buddha and his
18:26
Speaker 2: sacred jewels. So when he died, he was apparently buried
18:30
Speaker 2: with a whole bunch of dazzling a cache of dazzling jewels,
18:34
Speaker 2: and in the eighteen hundred someone dug them up. They
18:38
Speaker 2: have found their way into a private collection. Some brit
18:42
Speaker 2: owns them, and now they're going up for auction. Southby's
18:46
Speaker 2: Hong Kong is going to auction them. Now there is
18:49
Speaker 2: an ethical debate going on, you can imagine, because they're
18:52
Speaker 2: Buddha's jewels, and should you be seen should somebody be
18:55
Speaker 2: selling and profiting off Buddha's jewels? I wonder why Buddha
18:59
Speaker 2: had jewels in the first place. Aren't they meant to
19:00
Speaker 2: be sort of you know, not materialistic? Isn't that or
19:04
Speaker 2: letting go of material Maybe they should be sold because
19:08
Speaker 2: Finally you are releasing him of his material trappings. There
19:13
Speaker 2: you go. It is twenty three away from six Ryan

19:31
Speaker 11: was originally planned, to twenty now for the opening, with
19:34
Speaker 11: the option to expand it over time. Some have reacted
19:38
Speaker 11: naturally with concern about this proposal, but our mayor here,
19:41
Speaker 11: Jie's Radick, says, look, he's comfortable.
19:43
Speaker 2: With the plant as it stands.
19:44
Speaker 11: He says he's had word directly from the Health Minister
19:48
Speaker 11: that this new hospital project is on track and twenty
19:51
Speaker 11: beds is sufficient for our region's needs to begin with.
19:56
Speaker 11: And Radick also says it's important to remember the final
19:58
Speaker 11: fit out decisions will be made in five years time.
20:02
Speaker 11: He also says a tender is due out this week
20:04
Speaker 11: for a concrete or to finally start building the foundations.
20:08

Speaker 12: They are indeed, look twenty people too at the new
20:24
Speaker 12: Stadium Takaha yesterday after being drawn from a hat of
20:27
Speaker 12: more than sixteen hundred applicants. This was part of the
20:30
Speaker 12: open christ Church Festival railing. Palmer was one of them
20:34
Speaker 12: who was there to look around to the new stadium.
20:37
Speaker 12: She actually was brought to tears as I spoke to
20:39
Speaker 12: her during that tour. We were standing on the concourse
20:41
Speaker 12: looking out across the field of play at the time.
20:44
Speaker 12: She says, this really feels like a new era for
20:46
Speaker 12: christ Church and Cantabrian's. It feels like it's the icing
20:49
Speaker 12: on the cake of our rebuild. I also spoke with
20:52
Speaker 12: the guy Steve Moore. He's been our Crusaders season ticket
20:55
Speaker 12: holder since the day the temporary stadium opened. He said
20:59
Speaker 12: he couldn't believe he was one of the lucky ones
21:01
Speaker 12: and says he was completely blown away after several sleepless,
21:05
Speaker 12: sleepless nights from excitement.
21:07
Speaker 2: It's very exciting. I mean even I'm excited up here.
21:10
Speaker 2: I want to come to the opening, whatever the opening is,
21:12
Speaker 2: I want to be there. Clear you had to get
21:14
Speaker 2: me a tech out a cake. I'll see you there now.
21:16
Speaker 12: The weather mainly fine today, bit frosty to start though
21:19
Speaker 12: northeasterly is developing and a higher fifteen.
21:22
Speaker 2: Max toll in Wellington. Good morning Max, Good morning Palmerston
21:26
Speaker 2: North looking at sugary drinks bands. Yeah, this is.
21:29
Speaker 3: A proposal to go before the Palmerston North City Council
21:32
Speaker 3: on Wednesday, looking at banning sugary drinks at the council
21:36
Speaker 3: on venues. The mayor there though at Grant Smith he's
21:40
Speaker 3: told Aarons that he believes this is an overreach. He's
21:42
Speaker 3: warning alcohol could be next. It makes the city unattractive,
21:46
Speaker 3: I was about to say more unattractive. Public submissions generally
21:50
Speaker 3: against this as well. It's part of the Council's proposed
21:53
Speaker 3: health promotion policy, which also includes being smoke free vaatee
21:57
Speaker 3: free outdoors as well. Energy drink flavored milk cordial also
22:02
Speaker 3: included in this proposed ban. I'd imagine tap water might
22:06
Speaker 3: be the only item on the menu at Arena Manawatu.
22:08
Speaker 2: If this goes through. Honestly, just stories like this make
22:13
Speaker 2: my blood boiled. Just ban everything, That's why I picked it. Yeah,
22:17
Speaker 2: it's Monday morning. You're most prone to a heart attack
22:19
Speaker 2: on a Monday morning. Don't do this to me. What's next?
22:22
Speaker 2: Thing about? You know? Stop ban breathing, moving, you know,
22:25
Speaker 2: because you breathe that cabin dark. So I don't know what.
22:27
Speaker 2: Just bear it to the environment. So everyone, when you
22:29
Speaker 2: go to a stadium in Palmerston, North, no breathing, no moving,
22:33
Speaker 2: no drinking, no toilet weather.
22:37
Speaker 3: Yeah fine, Northerly's fourteen the High Central, thank you.
22:42
Speaker 13: It'll be no talking next.
22:43
Speaker 2: No talking That would kill me. No, there would be
22:49
Speaker 2: no Neva without a constant stream of consciousness. Hey, this
22:55
Speaker 2: is a really sad stream of this is everyone will
22:57
Speaker 2: know about this around the country. But the American pH
23:00
Speaker 2: student who was killed a couple of weeks ago in
23:02
Speaker 2: meadow Bank at that bus stop. Yeah, and there's a
23:05
Speaker 2: sort of a memorial happening.
23:07
Speaker 13: Yes, and that's happening today. So the meadow Bank community
23:10
Speaker 13: will be gathering today. Now look about fifty people, including
23:14
Speaker 13: Kyle Warrel's mother. They held a silent auction. This happened
23:17
Speaker 13: yesterday to raise money. So today what they're doing is
23:21
Speaker 13: that they're gathering at Saint John's Bush and they're going
23:23
Speaker 13: to plant a Bahutah cowa try which is lovely in
23:26
Speaker 13: honor of Kyle Warrel. And as we know, we've got
23:28
Speaker 13: a sixteen year old male he's being charged with murder
23:31
Speaker 13: aggravated robbery. Also a thirty two year old woman has
23:34
Speaker 13: been charged with being an accessory after the fact of murder,
23:36
Speaker 13: So that.
23:37
Speaker 2: Will case closely. How's the weather today.
23:41
Speaker 13: Morning cloud? Then find today's high eighteen call and Chris Mornings.
23:44
Speaker 2: Yay, excellent. If everyone's talking about dust and being baled
23:48
Speaker 2: and that's a problem, do you think bald been a
23:51
Speaker 2: bald man?
23:51
Speaker 13: I don't have a problem with this. I mean I'm
23:53
Speaker 13: not seeing a bald man, so that's what.
23:56
Speaker 2: Did do you have a problem with?
23:58
Speaker 13: No, No, I'm just saying, you know how some people
24:00
Speaker 13: were kind of you know, men and women are kind
24:02
Speaker 13: of attracted to bald people.
24:03
Speaker 2: So some people actually like it.
24:05
Speaker 14: Did they like it?
24:06
Speaker 7: Oh?
24:07
Speaker 2: I don't know that.
24:08
Speaker 13: Yeah, that's what I've heard right out there in the
24:10
Speaker 13: news room from one or two people.
24:12
Speaker 2: Do you know I went to buy a shaver at
24:14
Speaker 2: the weekend. Well I did buy a new shaver, right
24:17
Speaker 2: because the old one was cutting me. But can you
24:19
Speaker 2: tell me?
24:20
Speaker 13: I can actually now.
24:21
Speaker 2: I've made a massive error.
24:23
Speaker 13: You've taken quite a bit off your bed.
24:25
Speaker 2: It's nearly all gone. Yes, So the number you know
24:28
Speaker 2: you got your one, two, three, four. The numbers are
24:30
Speaker 2: different for different brands. Oh, I went with the same number.
24:35
Speaker 2: So what was your number? Number two?
24:37
Speaker 13: Number two?
24:38
Speaker 2: And it's come up like a number one. There's barely anything.
24:40
Speaker 2: Let that's right?
24:41
Speaker 13: Actually now that I'm really focusing on your face because
24:44
Speaker 13: I usually don't focus on your face when I come in.
24:46
Speaker 13: But yeah, oh I need to take a photo.
24:49
Speaker 2: It's breaking up, basically, Peter Dustin on my face, Neva,
24:55
Speaker 2: thank you, loving to see you. Happy Monday. Seventeen away
24:58
Speaker 2: from six.
25:00
Speaker 1: National Correspondence with ends Inn Eye Insurance, Peace of Mind
25:03
Speaker 1: for New Zealand Business.
25:06
Speaker 2: Fourteen away from Sex News Talk to here, be able
25:08
Speaker 2: get a due to Collins and a second Right now
25:09
Speaker 2: Gavin Gray in the UK for US givin Good Morning,
25:12
Speaker 2: Hither are now eight men arrested over a suspected TIRA
25:16
Speaker 2: plot involving a target, A specific target? Do we know
25:20
Speaker 2: what it was?
25:22
Speaker 14: No, we're not being told that. We do know that
25:24
Speaker 14: of the eight seven are Iranian nationals. Now, it's a
25:29
Speaker 14: combination of two different police operations going on around the UK,
25:33
Speaker 14: a gang of three, it said, being arrested in and
25:36
Speaker 14: around London, but also five others arrested at various locations
25:41
Speaker 14: around England. Part they're saying of a pre planned investigation
25:45
Speaker 14: into an alleged plot too, as you said, target a
25:49
Speaker 14: specific premises. Now, all five who were arrested around the
25:54
Speaker 14: country were arrested on suspicion appropriation of an act of
25:58
Speaker 14: terrorism in the second operation, and the three men aged
26:01
Speaker 14: between thirty nine and fifty five were arrested under the
26:04
Speaker 14: National Security Act at different addresses. What's interesting about this, Ryan,
26:08
Speaker 14: you might think, well, Iranian nationals in the UK. Well,
26:10
Speaker 14: that is a common thread to what's going on here,
26:13
Speaker 14: because just last year, the director general of mi I
26:16
Speaker 14: five said his organization and police have responded to twenty
26:20
Speaker 14: Iran backed plots presenting potentially lethal threats to British citizens
26:24
Speaker 14: in UK residents since January of twenty twenty two, So
26:27
Speaker 14: twenty plots over a period of just over two and
26:30
Speaker 14: a half years. When he said that, and that I
26:32
Speaker 14: think goes some way to show you just where mi
26:34
Speaker 14: I five is getting so busy.
26:36
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Now, what's the problem with your heating or potential
26:39
Speaker 2: problem with your heating.
26:41
Speaker 14: Yeah, So, in the nineteen eighties, meters were fitted to
26:45
Speaker 14: effectively switch between peak and off peak use of electricity,
26:52
Speaker 14: because of course off peak is cheaper. However, these so
26:55
Speaker 14: called RTS Radio Teleswitching system meters were replaced a bench
27:00
Speaker 14: by smart meters, although frankly many people don't trust those
27:03
Speaker 14: in their home either. Anyway, this old technology is going
27:07
Speaker 14: to be switched off on the thirtieth of June, but
27:09
Speaker 14: it's estimated by some in the industry that there are
27:11
Speaker 14: still four hundred and thirty thousand households using RTS meters
27:16
Speaker 14: for their heating and hot water, and only one thousand
27:19
Speaker 14: are being replaced each day. So by doing the maths,
27:22
Speaker 14: thinking this has to be done by the thirtieth of June,
27:24
Speaker 14: there's simply going to be nowhere near hitting the number
27:28
Speaker 14: of households that they need to do in order to
27:30
Speaker 14: get these people's monitors basically updated. And they're saying there
27:36
Speaker 14: is a very real risk that once this system is
27:38
Speaker 14: switched off, this long wave radio frequency system, then that
27:42
Speaker 14: could mean that people are left without hot water or heating.
27:45
Speaker 14: It is our summer, so that should be okay, but
27:48
Speaker 14: it's going to be pretty inconvenient for many people.
27:51
Speaker 2: All right, Gevin, good to have you on. Gevin Gray
27:53
Speaker 2: are UK correspondent for your Monday morning and living away from.
27:55
Speaker 1: Six Bryan Bridge, shoot of.
27:57
Speaker 2: Collins out on the time achert Phenopai. Yes, they are
28:00
Speaker 2: Sonorri they were a har here. I think I'll have
28:02
Speaker 2: to clarify with her when she comes on. She's here now.
28:05
Speaker 2: Money has been put aside for the Defense Force to
28:07
Speaker 2: go shopping for five new c Sprite helicopters. Two billion
28:11
Speaker 2: dollars set aside, plus a billion over four years on
28:13
Speaker 2: other stuff. Personnel will get better digs, they'll do longer
28:17
Speaker 2: deployments around the world, and they will do more of them.
28:20
Speaker 2: Minister's here, good morning.
28:22
Speaker 8: Oh, good morning Ryan. And that's a new pin, a
28:25
Speaker 8: new pie.
28:26
Speaker 2: It was now look great announcement. I'm sure it will
28:30
Speaker 2: be welcomed by those who by the troops. But is
28:34
Speaker 2: it is it an announcement about an announcement? I mean
28:37
Speaker 2: we haven't even got a case through cabinet yet. We've
28:39
Speaker 2: got no contracts sign we've got no procurement register, no funding.
28:43
Speaker 2: Really approved. Just set aside, what was it?
28:47
Speaker 8: Well, set aside. It's an announcement to say to people
28:50
Speaker 8: and those that we are looking to procure from, we've
28:56
Speaker 8: got the money and we're about to put out the
29:00
Speaker 8: tenders basically, and so yes, it's actually a very big announcement.
29:04
Speaker 8: And then the other thing is the extra almost billion
29:07
Speaker 8: dollars over the next four years for operational reasons. So
29:12
Speaker 8: it's a big announcement. We're very excited about it. And
29:16
Speaker 8: our defense force person that I've got to say, are
29:19
Speaker 8: absolutely Cockahoo faverage.
29:20
Speaker 2: I can imagine the billion dollars is big. We'll get
29:22
Speaker 2: to that in a second. But why does it need
29:25
Speaker 2: so that the seas right, helicopter's right, you come out.
29:27
Speaker 2: You see we've got two billion bucks. We want them,
29:29
Speaker 2: we want five of them. Why do you then need
29:32
Speaker 2: to go away? Do they have to go away into
29:34
Speaker 2: a business case to cabinet? Is that a waste of time?
29:37
Speaker 2: Given you've said that you know the the financials and
29:41
Speaker 2: the number.
29:43
Speaker 8: It's just the normal processes and government and the reason
29:45
Speaker 8: there's and I you know, I think it's really important
29:49
Speaker 8: to understand this is big bucks, it's tax money, and
29:53
Speaker 8: we always do this. So we always go into a
29:56
Speaker 8: business case as to why, and then we come up
29:59
Speaker 8: with the options for procurement. But the reason for that is,
30:03
Speaker 8: I mean, we're not announcing this without knowing we're going
30:05
Speaker 8: to do it, But you do need to be able
30:07
Speaker 8: to put the work in to say, nobody wants to
30:09
Speaker 8: have another purchase back in early two thousands of another
30:15
Speaker 8: one hundred and something labs. Nobody wants to have that
30:18
Speaker 8: sort of thing happening, and we haven't. We've had really
30:20
Speaker 8: good procurement in the last decade or so, so we
30:23
Speaker 8: need to make sure we continue down that pathway.
30:26
Speaker 2: This extra billion you're giving, do you expect our soldiers,
30:29
Speaker 2: our front line, we'll get a pay rise out of this.
30:33
Speaker 8: Oh I'm not going to talk about that because that's
30:36
Speaker 8: the Chief of Defense Forces.
30:37
Speaker 2: But what it means, well.
30:41
Speaker 8: My expectation is that we've had some quite big pay
30:45
Speaker 8: rises last year around remuneration. So when people say, oh,
30:49
Speaker 8: there's been no that's not true. But actually every time
30:52
Speaker 8: our people go on deployment, they get a benefit from that,
30:56
Speaker 8: so they get extra money from that too. So they
30:59
Speaker 8: want to be up deployment and I want to be
31:00
Speaker 8: sitting at home fighting over remote control. They want to
31:03
Speaker 8: be out there representing their country. But it does mean
31:08
Speaker 8: is that they'll have better places to live in that
31:10
Speaker 8: there'll be better investment in their work they're training, but
31:15
Speaker 8: also more staff. That's also part of it. So you know,
31:20
Speaker 8: it's quite a substantial thing. And frankly, after thirty five
31:25
Speaker 8: years with a couple of years where that it wasn't true,
31:28
Speaker 8: thirty five years of underspending, cutting and just basically raping
31:32
Speaker 8: and pillaging of our defense force assets, this is a
31:35
Speaker 8: huge turnaround.
31:36
Speaker 2: More missions, longer missions, further missions. Great. They will love this,
31:41
Speaker 2: and I know it's on an operational issue for them
31:43
Speaker 2: to decide. But do you expect we will see more patrols,
31:46
Speaker 2: more involvement in drills in the South China Sea, more
31:50
Speaker 2: like you know, the Valiant Shield exercise of the US,
31:53
Speaker 2: more of that stuff.
31:55
Speaker 8: I think you're going to see more of a lot
31:57
Speaker 8: more So. Our people have been in Bahrain, they've been
32:02
Speaker 8: doing things around the Red Sea, They've been everywhere, and
32:06
Speaker 8: they're sitting around the Indian Ocean. They're working with the
32:11
Speaker 8: Indian Navy as well on interdictions around massive drug classicking,
32:17
Speaker 8: heroine and those sorts of things. So you know, you're
32:19
Speaker 8: just going to see more of them. But also the
32:21
Speaker 8: big thing for them is that's what they join for.
32:25
Speaker 8: And I think you know too, is that some of
32:27
Speaker 8: this we've got critical estate managed maintenance of twenty six million,
32:33
Speaker 8: one hundred and four million of over four years. I mean,
32:35
Speaker 8: that's enormous, but the reason is because nothing's been done
32:39
Speaker 8: for a very long time.
32:40
Speaker 2: Winston says we need to get two percent faster. Do
32:43
Speaker 2: you agree with them?
32:44
Speaker 8: Yeah, I know, Well we've said that if we can,
32:47
Speaker 8: we will, and we've also said two is that the.
32:53
Speaker 2: If you want at Winston once, who's the whole up,
32:56
Speaker 2: the whole.
32:57
Speaker 8: Upper we need to we need to actually have the
32:59
Speaker 8: economy growing so we can do that. But the other
33:02
Speaker 8: thing is every two years we'll check in. We're called
33:05
Speaker 8: them that this is a floor, not a ceiling, and
33:07
Speaker 8: if we can get faster, we will. But you can't
33:10
Speaker 8: do it without the personnel and that's part of what
33:12
