  Speaker 3: Hey, good morning to you. Welcome to your Tuesday. I'm
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: Andrew Dickens. Coming up over the next sixty minutes. There
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: are changes to the Health and Safety Act. What will
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: that mean for you and your business? Will have that
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: story for you in five Welcome. The airport has sharpened
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: its pencils on its charges to airlines, So what will
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: that mean for airfares? And does this mean the Comcom's working?
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: We'll have that story. In ten we'll discuss the curious
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: case of Benjamin Doyle and Winston Rackins. He has a
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: fairy deal? Is it a good one? We'll look about
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: just before six, we'll have correspondence from right around New Zealand.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: We'll have Donald Demayo out of Australia. We'll have news
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: as it breaks and you can have your say, Babe
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: sending me a text and the text number is ninety
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: two ninety two or small charge applies. Good morning, It's
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: step it up to five.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: The agenda.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Yes, good morning. It is the first of April. It
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: is April Fall's Day and I'm not intending to play
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: any jokes. But first I will go to France with
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: the leader of the far right National Party, Madeline la Pen,
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: has been sentenced to jail and bann from running in
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: the next presidential election in twenty twenty seven. She's been
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: found guilty for embezzling European funds to finance her party.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: La Penn left the courtroom before the Judge of finished
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: handing down details of the sentence, and she's already said
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: she'll appeal.
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: Given the fact that our courts are overloaded, the calendar
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: of the courts might well be between eighteen months and
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: two years, which gets us extremely close to our presidential election.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: And again the judgment is so harsh that it's doubtful
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: that indeed the next court, if she will, could wipe boult.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Now to the earthquake at me and Mar, where the
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: death toll has surpassed two thousand people four thousand people injured,
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: many still unaccounted for. That death toll will go up.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: The UN has made an urgent appeal for eight million
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: dollars as eight groups one of a worstling humanitarian crisis,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: with hospitals damaged and overwhelmed. Information out of me and
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Mah has been limited because of the junta, and the
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: death toll is expected to be much worse than's being reported.
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: It took three days to have that relatively small junkin numbers. Now,
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: the US Geological Survey said, if you look at the
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: size of the earthquake seven point seven magnitude this was,
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: and the areas that were affected, they said, perhaps a
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: death toll of something in the region of ten thousands
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: could be expected from something like this.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: And Russia. Russia says work is ongoing with the United
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: States on a Ukraine's cease file liberties fire deal after
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump said he was very angry and I quote
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: pissed off with Vladimir Putin. Trump's sharp change in tone
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: was in response to Putin suggesting an interim government in
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Ukraine under the support of the UN could replace Zelenski.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: So Donald threatens secondary tariffs on all oil coming out
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: of Australia if he thinks Moscow is to blame for
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: failing to reach a ceasefire. It's a psychological deadline. If
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: I think that down bigger, so long, I will not
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: be happy about it.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Do you think they are I don't know.
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: I don't think so.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: I think he wants to make a deal.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: As Donald Trump being interviewed at long range. It is
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: now ten after five.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio earlier edition with
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Andrew Dickens and one roof Make Your Property Search Simple,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: You Talk said be So.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Winston's great rail solution is now revealed, well some of
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: it anyway. It seems just like Kiwi Rail's I Rex,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: but cheaper. The boats are still big, bigger than we've
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: got right now, but smaller than the ones that were
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: ordered before. They are rail enabled, but the port side
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: infrastructure in the work there is a lot more reasonable
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: and that's always been the thing. The original boats were
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: actually a good deal, but the kicker always came port side.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Kiwi Rail was under the belief, in fact, this is
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: what they were told back in the day by the government,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: including Winston Peters, that this project had to be future proofed.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: This had to be a fifty to one hundred year thing.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: This was something that had to last, which is a
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: type of thinking that New Zealand doesn't too often. So
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: the ferrari in this whole deal was not the boats,
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: it was the ports. Now Winston says, Picton needs a
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: big revent that's going to cost but the earthquake Prome
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Wellington Port just needs a touch up. It's thought, by
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: the way, that the new fairies will have less capacity
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: in an ideal world. All of this is not ideal,
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: but it is, as Winston says, pragmatic.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: I know people involved with the original Irex deal on
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: the government side, and when this first happened, I talk
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: to them and they said that Kiwi Rail should not
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: come to their government expecting an open checkbook. They were
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: supporters of rail and all that sort of thing, but
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: you just can't come thinking you can just you know,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: fleece billions out of the government just like that. And
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: he was right. The original Irex deal had some good
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: parts to it and it is the one that we
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: should have aspired to. But as the government keeps telling us,
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: now is not the right time for aspirational long term planning.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: We just can't afford it. But if not now, when
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: will we do anything right first time? So this deal
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: looks like a saving short term, but the question will
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: always be for another generation will we end up paying more?
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Long term? The upshot is that we do have fairies
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: coming by twenty twenty nine, and that's when our current
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: fairies have end their life, So the timing is tight.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: The new fairies are file, they's likely to think than
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: the ones we already have. And you know that's about it.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: In this story, we're right back to where we were
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: thirty years ago.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Andrew Dickens of After Five.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: I've been watching the gangs and the drugs and a
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: few stories that are around over the last week, and
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: with our war on gangs and drugs, how concerning is
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: it that a drug kingpin who's behind bars has just
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: been given a life sentence. This high ranking gang member
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: was given the sentence last week after masterminding a two
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: hundred kilogram meth deal while in jail. While behind bars,
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: I thought the point of incarceration was to stop people
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: committed crimes. Meanwhile, this week, the vice president of the
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: Tribesmen is in court and we're hearing tales of his
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: alleged lavish lifestyle financed by his alleged sale of methamphetamine.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: The drug which we also heard in the last week
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: doubled in use last year, and that means it's obviously
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: doubled in profit, if not more. And all of these
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: stories all shows the power and the organization and the
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: brains of gangs when it comes to organized crime. And
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: it's yet another sign that patch bands are just pottering
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: around the edges of the gang problem. We've got to
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: go a lot deeper to cut out this cancer and
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: we have a very long and hard road to get
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: on top of gangs in this country.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Andrew Dickens forteen.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Minutes after five. Okay, so Brook van Velden's got stuck
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: into the health and safety rules. We also hear we're
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: going to get a road cone hotline yesterday. So what
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: does this mean for you? What changes will happen. We're
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: going to talk about this in a moment with a
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: guy who is the chairman of the New Zealand Institute
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: of Safety Management. It's forteen after five on Newstalk MB.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens al Aveli edition with one roof Make your
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Property Search Simple, Youth talg zibby.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Yes it is five sixteen. First textan says Andrew, what
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: about the green MP? Are you afraid? No, I'm not patience,
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: I'm going to talk about this at five twenty five.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Of course I'm not afraid. You noble keyboard, worry are you.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: I'm going to talk about this at five twenty five,
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: so that's when more audience is around to hear more
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: about it. So there you go. At sixteen after five.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Workplace health and safety is getting a bit of a facelift.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: The government's announced less tick box health than safety activities
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: and there's no longer a need to report minor events.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: So the New Zealand Institute of Safety Management chair Mike
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Cosmon is with me, Hello, Mike morning Andrew. So are
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: there any risks in this for our health and safety
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: in the workplace?
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 8:17
  Speaker 7: I think there are, But more importantly, I think there's
• 8:19
  Speaker 7: missed opportunities. So a number of the things that the
• 8:22
  Speaker 7: government has sort of painted as problems I think are
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: largely imaginary. So there's no requirement to report minor injuries
• 8:29
  Speaker 7: at the moment, there's no requirement to have signs up
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: saying hold the handrail or hot water on the hot
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: water tap. So I think it's created a bit of
• 8:37
  Speaker 7: a myth, and then it's congratulating itself for cracking that myth,
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: whereas it's not really addressing the things that are killing
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: and injuring workers all around the country. You know every day.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: So you seid they missed an opportunity? What are they
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: missed other than what would you sayest?
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Well, so the.
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: Key thing is that we've got industries that we know
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: are really have this. So this morning I'm going off
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: to visit some forestry workers. There's nothing in here that's
• 9:05
  Speaker 7: going to improve safety in the forestry industry or with
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: any of our other high risk sectors like agriculture and
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: construction and manufacturing. In fact, it's going to divert work
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: face attention away from those priorities to manning the Cones hotline.
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: So all the talk is about reducing the cost of compliance,
• 9:24
  Speaker 7: but there's nothing in here which actually says how we're
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: going to improve worker safety, which is really at the
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: heart of what I believe we should be focusing on.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Okay, well, I have an example because but then Velden
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: gave this example in her press release yesterday, and you see,
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: for example, a small clothing shop would still need to
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: provide first aid, emergency plans and basic facilities such as
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: suitable lighting, but wouldn't have to need to do a
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: psychosocial ham policy. Was he correct? Is that a good example?
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: They don't have to do one anyway unless they are
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: particularly at risk. So if you were a corner dairy
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: or a jewelry that's been robbed three times, and your
• 10:01
  Speaker 7: staff are at risk of both physical and mental harm
• 10:05
  Speaker 7: because of something the other rises through work, then you
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: wouldn't just need a policy, but you'd actually need to
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: support your workers who might be afraid to come to
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: work and concerned about the risks. So no, I think
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: that again is a misnomer. There's very little that actually
• 10:21
  Speaker 7: is required to be written down in law, but often
• 10:24
  Speaker 7: people get this idea that they have to do it
• 10:27
  Speaker 7: because of this mythical threat from Work Safe or whatever.
• 10:31
  Speaker 7: So I think fundamentally the problem is that we lack current,
• 10:35
  Speaker 7: easy to access, up to date guidance that tells people
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: in simple terms what it is they do need to
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: do and what they don't need to do, and that's
• 10:43
  Speaker 7: been recognized for over ten years that there's a massive gap.
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: Work Safe themselves say that they've got hundreds of pieces
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: of guidance that are out of date and they don't
• 10:53
  Speaker 7: have the resources to fix them.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: Mike, I thank you so much for your expertise. Today
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: there's my Cosmin from the Institute of Safety Management. Certainly
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: though gets a good headline for the government. Five nineteen now,
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: the Commerce Commission sent a report out about the charges
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: at Aucland Airport and said that they've been overcharging. They
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: said there was nothing dodgy about it, but at the
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: same time certainly excessive and wouldn't you know it, the
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: airport worked on it over the weekend and suddenly the
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: charges have been reduced. We'll talk about this story next
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: here on News Talks AB.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: The News you Need this morning and the in Depth
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Analysis early edition with Andrew Dickens and one roof Make
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: your Property Search Simple News Talk said.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: B five twenty two, The Commerce Commission says Orcand Airport's
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: been overcharging airlines by one hundred and ninety million dollars
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: since twenty twenty three. So where did the airlines get
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: that money from your airfares? This year's price increase won't
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: be as big as initially planned. After the findings were released,
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: New Zealand Airport's Association Chief executive Billy Moore is with me.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Good morning to you, Billy, Good morning. So there's a
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: lot of money one hundred and ninety million dollars. How
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: did no one notice?
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 12:01
  Speaker 8: Look, this is part of the process, and I know
• 12:04
  Speaker 8: it sounds a bit boring, but it's true. So the
• 12:07
  Speaker 8: Commus Commission has come out with its judgment and aukind
• 12:10
  Speaker 8: the airport has responded immediately to lower its prices for
• 12:15
  Speaker 8: the rest of the period. And so what that means
• 12:17
  Speaker 8: is that there won't be overcharging for the period because
• 12:20
  Speaker 8: they'll be compensating for that one hundred and ninety million
• 12:24
  Speaker 8: for the rest of that pricing period, so it will
• 12:26
  Speaker 8: eat it out. It wasn't unexpected in terms of the
• 12:29
  Speaker 8: feedback from the Commission because of how long these processes take.
• 12:33
  Speaker 8: The Auckland the airport team had had to use a
• 12:38
  Speaker 8: previous version of what we call the Commerce Commission's input methodologies,
• 12:42
  Speaker 8: which helps them figure out what the right rate of
• 12:44
  Speaker 8: return for their own viases should be. That meant that
• 12:47
  Speaker 8: the Commission was bound to have some feedback on that.
• 12:50
  Speaker 8: They've given that feedback and the airport has made those adjustments.
• 12:53
  Speaker 8: So that's what the system is.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: Supposed to do exactly. But you know, the airport received
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: the final report from the ComCom on Friday. They worked
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: out for the weekend. They revised its costs downs just
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: like that on a Monday. So does that suggest they
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: already knew they were guilding the lily.
• 13:08
  Speaker 9: Well.
• 13:09
  Speaker 8: The draft report have been released in July last year
• 13:12
  Speaker 8: already kind of indicating the Commerce Commission's direction of travel,
• 13:17
  Speaker 8: so that gave a bit of an indication quite well
• 13:20
  Speaker 8: in advance. Then there was a cross submission process. Again
• 13:24
  Speaker 8: it sounds a bit boring, but that means that everyone,
• 13:27
  Speaker 8: including the airlines and the airports, provide more feedback to
• 13:30
  Speaker 8: the Commission to make sure that they're coming out with
• 13:33
  Speaker 8: the right call so that they were ready to respond.
• 13:36
  Speaker 8: But it's not unexpected that.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: They would be okay. But you know, the perception therefore
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: is that the airport's trying to get away with as
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: much as it can.
• 13:46
  Speaker 8: Look I disagree when you might expect. Look, fundamentally, we'd
• 13:52
  Speaker 8: have to build infrastructure in this country, and there's two
• 13:55
  Speaker 8: things that we need to get there done which the
• 13:57
  Speaker 8: airport has been focusing on. The few is a stable
• 14:01
  Speaker 8: regulation for investors to see that the system is stable
• 14:04
  Speaker 8: and working. And second is I fear rate of return.
• 14:07
  Speaker 8: Otherwise the airport can't raise the funds for this essential infrastructure.
• 14:11
  Speaker 8: So part of this process is about working with the
• 14:14
  Speaker 8: Commission and providing all the information on the table transparently
• 14:18
  Speaker 8: so that we can get to that what is that
• 14:20
  Speaker 8: right rate of return for a long running investment like
• 14:23
  Speaker 8: an airport.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: So you would say you would say that even though
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: they overcharge U by one hundred and ninety million dollars
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: in twenty twenty three, this is proof that the regulatory
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: system is actually working acceptably.
• 14:33
  Speaker 8: That's right, because the Commission's come out with this a
• 14:35
  Speaker 8: judgment and the airport has adjusted. That's how the system's
• 14:38
  Speaker 8: supposed to work. Yes, they went too high, but they
• 14:42
  Speaker 8: have made the adjustment and that will all smooth out.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: For early Superior Billy, I thank you so much for
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: you for your time today. News Storks be I mean,
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: you know you want them to get it right. You
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: want it to be absolutely transparent, and you don't need
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: to have a report and then wait six months for
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: them to change, do you. Five to twenty five new

• 15:10
  Speaker 3: It is our five twenty seven. I'm Andrew Dickens. The
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: Ferrari surrounding Benjamin Doyle. The Green MP is something that's
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: been swelling around social media over the weekend as a
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: story that Annie O'Brien uncovered weeks ago. When St. Peter's
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: has now brought it to the attention of the country,
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: it's something we have to talk about. When Simpeter's immediately
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: said it was the fault of the media for not
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: exposing this earlier. No, this story is about Benjamin Doyle
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: and the Greens. Now. Doyle is a gay Green MP
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: who uses the pronouns of they and them. Before he
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: was an MP, he posted using gay terminology that referred
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: to sexual activity. It's vulgar language. But by the time
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: he was an MP, he had deleted those posts, knowing
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: that it could be used against him, sorry or them,
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: pardon against them, But nothing on the websdays, and someone
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: has saved them as ammunition, ammunition that Winston Peters has
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: now fired in public now. I don't know when Benjamin
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Doyle decided that he wanted to embark on a life
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: in public governance and in the public eye, but his
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: casual use of social media back then is something he
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: should have known about. It will be the same for
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: any hetero politician. We don't need to know anything about
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: your sexual life when you're in public office. That sort
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: of stuff is low lying fruit that politicians like Winston
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Peters sees on the fact that it's resulted in hate
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: speech on Doyle as bad. But was Doyle so naive
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: that he they never thought about this before he they
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: came to the attention of the antiwoke world. Goodness me,
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: it is a slutary lesson to all on public life.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: Benjamin Doyle has plenty to hide. It's a lesson to
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: the Green Party that they're mentoring of their candidates, their
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: choosing of their candidates, and their vetting of the candidates
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: leaves a lot to be desired. And then yesterday's defense
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: of Doyle's language alienates a lot of people or who
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: may otherwise vote for them. I mean, Benjamin's obviously got
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: to go, doesn't he. And this is also a reminder
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: to everybody that Winston Peters will say anything if he
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: thinks there's enough votes in it to get him over
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: the five percent threshold. Ye really. Now I'm going to
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: talk about the April first because it is April the first.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: There's a lot about April the first that are not
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: the Fool's Day, going to talk about rope cones.
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: I'm going to talk.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: About Marie La Penn. I'm going to talk to Donna Tamayo.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: A whole heap more to come in the next half hour.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: This is Early Edition. I'm Andrew Dickens News Talks.
• 17:32
  Speaker 9: It be.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day. Early
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Edition with Andrew Dickens and One Room, Make Your Property
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Search and Simple.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: You talk sippy, don't you?
• 17:55
  Speaker 10: America wants your favorite told American.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Service.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: Very deal? Is it a good one? What do we
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: know about it? We're going to talk about this sis
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: before six you can text me. Ninety two ninety two
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: Clive has written in saying that Benjamin Doyle must go
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: under the woke tyranny. Many have lost their positions for
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: past statements going back to school years, and this is true.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: How many people have we seen where the past comes
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: back to bite them? This is a past coming back
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: to bite Benjamin and Clive says we don't need Chloe
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: and her perverts and government that yes, they've defended the
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: entire thing. Someone says, what a take? Did you just
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: accuse Winston of running this? No, I said Winston brought
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: it up in public, and that's a good thing, of
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: course it is. It is a discussion thing, and that's
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: the way it should work. Now, welcome to April the First.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: I've long abandoned any desire to play a prank on
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: the radio. God I hate April Falls pranks on the radio,
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: mainly because of the climate of fake news that is
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: around these days. You don't need any more bes in
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: your life, so I'm not doing that. Reading the this morning,
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: I was going, there must be an April Fools pranking
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: here somewhere, but I couldn't tell whether the story was
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: a prank or just part of the crazy world we
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: live in these days. Yesterday I heard Donald Trump refusing
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: to deny that he will find some way around getting
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: a third term in office, and I thought, well, that
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: must be an April Fool's joke, But no, it was
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: a day early. What I can tell you about April
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: First is this today, when the tax cuts finally click in.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: I hesitate to call them tax cuts because it's really
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: a moving of the threshold, so it's more of an
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: inflation adjustment. Whatever you will pay less tax from today.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: I'll be interested to hear if you notice any difference,
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: I feel free to email me to consider New Storks
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: b or Text Week ninety two ninety two will look
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: at this over the week. You're going to need those
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: tax cuts, by the way, because plenty goes up in
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: price today. Power prices go up ten dollars a month
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: today on average for New Zealand households. I hope that
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: tax cuts big enough. The minimum wage is going up today,
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: impacting all the medium businesses the most, and of course
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: the benefits are going up between two to three percent today.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: Happy April Fools Day to you, Andrew Dickas let's go
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: around the country. Callen Proctor joins u's good morning Callum
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: morning Andrew. So Dunedin has an iconic fashion event. To
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: me about it?
• 20:21
  Speaker 10: Yeah, it's ID Fashion Week starting today. That's no April Falls.
• 20:26
  Speaker 10: Contains a week full of activities, exhibitions, pop up shops,
• 20:31
  Speaker 10: designer events and of course the two big runway shows
• 20:33
  Speaker 10: at the railway station Friday and Saturday. This is expected
• 20:37
  Speaker 10: to boost the local economy. The twenty twenty three event
• 20:40
  Speaker 10: broad in just over ten million dollars. It's every two
• 20:43
  Speaker 10: years now. Organizers say the event brings a large number
• 20:46
  Speaker 10: of visitors to town and retailers believe it's busier than Christmas.
• 20:49
  Speaker 10: They say many established designers will be on show, as
• 20:52
  Speaker 10: well as polytech graduates and also some high school students.
• 20:56
  Speaker 10: Designs will feature for the first time.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the railway station event is awesome. If anyone wants
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: to mighten me anytime, I'd love to come down. How's
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: the weather for ddedan.
• 21:04
  Speaker 10: Cloudy today, some evening drizzle possible like winds and seventeen.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: And I thank you Chrishia. It joins me from Canterbury. Hello,
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: good morning. So we're saying farewell to a Canterbury tourism stalwart.
• 21:15
  Speaker 11: Yes, hand Mahs brings Simil Pools and Spa is saying
• 21:17
  Speaker 11: goodbye to its general manager of twenty five years, Graham Abbott.
• 21:21
  Speaker 11: It's funny you mention April first today, Andrew, because when
• 21:24
  Speaker 11: I spoke with Graham last week, the irony of the
• 21:27
  Speaker 11: timing of his final day was not lost on him.
• 21:29
  Speaker 11: But look, his impact there is far from a joke.
• 21:31
  Speaker 11: In his twenty five years, he's increased the annual visitor
• 21:34
  Speaker 11: numbers by eighty percent. Turn Over there at Hanmer's Pools
• 21:38
  Speaker 11: has grown from three million dollars to fourteen million. Abbot, though,
• 21:42
  Speaker 11: says what he's most proud of is quite cliche. He
• 21:45
  Speaker 11: says that's the team that he's built and the fact
• 21:47
  Speaker 11: that staff members arrived there and feel looked after and
• 21:49
  Speaker 11: a part of something really special. He's handing the reins
• 21:52
  Speaker 11: today to Canterbury born and bred Sarah Wiblam. She was
• 21:55
  Speaker 11: previously the general manager of the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: Okay, how's Wellington's with him? Christchurch is we're the Sorry,
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: I'm jumping ahead to myself to get hit.
• 22:07
  Speaker 11: Cloudy with occasional drizzle from this afternoon easterlies in the
• 22:10
  Speaker 11: highest nineteen.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: Okay, look my producer shouted christ Church and Meavick shouted
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: christ Church. I know, I'm sorry, Wellington, next toll, good morning,
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: good morning. Got a new contender in the mail race.
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Wellington Mornings with Nick Mills had an exclusive announcement
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: yesterday a new entry into the Meryll race. Not the
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: man himself, Contrary to speculation, this is Cafe Ice owner
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: Carl Tiefenbaker, who is running as an independent on a
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: platform of changing council culture, keeping rates down, stopping wasteful spending,
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: he's sort of senter center right, joining councilor Ray Shung
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: as a potentially viable opponent to Tori Fino. Still yet
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: to have a big name shake things up though Labor,
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: for instance, haven't been able to find anyone despite asking
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: one term of Justin Leicster. Mark Sainsbury has been rumored.
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: FitzSimons was rumored for a time. Tiefenbaker has been unsuccessfully
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: running for council a couple of times, although he did
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: get very close in a by election against a Green
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: candidate last year.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: Fantastic sayings So actually wrote a very good piece about
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: why he should go for the mayoral sea So that's wonderful.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: So how's Christians is weather today?
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: Wellington's mainly fine, southerly's a high of twenty central April four, neve.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: A ready man, A good morning, Good morning. The governments
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: announced the next two Chatter schools to open.
• 23:28
  Speaker 12: Yes here in Auckland, so Associate Education Minister David Seymour says,
• 23:32
  Speaker 12: Totada Park School and Twin Oaks Classical School. I think
• 23:35
  Speaker 12: this is in Royal Oak. They will join the seven
• 23:38
  Speaker 12: schools which have already opened. So Twin Oaks will cater
• 23:41
  Speaker 12: for year one to nine students. That's when it opens
• 23:44
  Speaker 12: in July, growing to year thirteen by twenty twenty seven.
• 23:48
  Speaker 12: Students will spend the first three days of the week
• 23:50
  Speaker 12: at school and then the last two days learning from home.
• 23:54
  Speaker 12: Totada Park will open in Tumbe one next year, beginning
• 23:57
  Speaker 12: with years one to four before expanding up to year
• 23:59
  Speaker 12: six in twenty twenty seven. Housalkands weather okay with partly
• 24:02
  Speaker 12: cloudy conditions still warmed twenty five is are high here.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: In Auckland seventeen to six. So there's going to be
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: a rod cone hotline. We talked about this earlier. Now,
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: my neighbor hates road cones. He's one of those guys
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: I hate the road cones. But he's redoing his driveway
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: and work has stopped and apparently he can't decide on
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: the surface so nothing's happening. So to stop anyone trampling
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: all over the site, he's put up five traffic cones.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: And I said, Steve Irony, mate, he didn't laugh. Traffic
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: cones are not the devil. They save lives and prevent
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: injury to road workers. The issue is when road cones
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: are preventing is not when roade cones are preventing workers
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: from harm. But when there are no workers there, often
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: for days, that's when we start hating the road cones
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: because the workers aren't there. It's about the workers, not
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: the cones. But the road cone industry has exploded, and
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: the road coness will argue rightly that they are just
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: complying with the health and safety laws. But as we
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: heard earlier today, a lot of people imagine the health
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: and safety laws and go too far. So I find
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: the fat warre again road cones a little bit childish
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: on the surface. But you know, we know that people
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: get triggered just at the side of one, and I
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: choose to think of them as a beacon that something
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: is getting better, and it's amazing when they're gone, how
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: quickly we take the new improved infrastructure for granted and
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: enjoy the benefit. So it's not the rod cone and
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: it's the worker that's not there that's the problem. That
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: is sixteen to six. Donald Demayo from Australia is next.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: It's News Talk.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Zeb International correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance. Peace of
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: mind for New Zealand business.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: After Australia, we go Dona Tomayo, Good morning to you.
• 25:32
  Speaker 13: Good morning, So.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: ALBINIZI has been responding about that Chinese research ship which
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: is traveling in new waters.
• 25:38
  Speaker 13: Yes, well, Australian agencies now monitoring this high tech Chinese
• 25:43
  Speaker 13: research ship which actually also operates a deep sea submersible vessel.
• 25:49
  Speaker 13: Now where is it now? It's making its way through
• 25:51
  Speaker 13: southern Australian waters. So tracking websites and agencies as I mentioned,
• 25:57
  Speaker 13: have tracked the ship passing the Victorian coastline recently.
• 26:00
  Speaker 8: Now it did just.
• 26:01
  Speaker 13: Complete joint surveys with New Zealand, as we know. The
• 26:04
  Speaker 13: Prime Minister was asked about the ship while he was
• 26:06
  Speaker 13: visiting Perth and his response was he'd prefer the ship
• 26:10
  Speaker 13: wasn't in Australian waters, but suggests that China isn't breaking
• 26:14
  Speaker 13: any international laws. And he also says that, as he
• 26:18
  Speaker 13: put it, we live in circumstances where just as Australia
• 26:21
  Speaker 13: has vessels in the South China Sea and vessels in
• 26:24
  Speaker 13: the Taiwan Strait, this vessel is here. He also says
• 26:28
  Speaker 13: he will make sure that we represent Australian interests as
• 26:31
  Speaker 13: he said it, and has every confidence and he repeated
• 26:35
  Speaker 13: that every confidence in our defense force and security agencies.
• 26:39
  Speaker 13: Now this comes just a few weeks after China's navy
• 26:42
  Speaker 13: conducted an unprecedented circumnavigation of much of Australia.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: If it's the fine art of brickmanship. Now you have
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: a growing diabetes epidemic.
• 26:53
  Speaker 13: Yes, well, how many Australian adults have diabetes? New data
• 26:56
  Speaker 13: has been released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics Health
• 26:59
  Speaker 13: Measures Survey, and I think this is quite a army.
• 27:03
  Speaker 13: One in fifteen Australians have diabetes. Now, that is an
• 27:07
  Speaker 13: increase of about one point five percent compared to a
• 27:11
  Speaker 13: decade ago, so that makes it to oh more than well,
• 27:14
  Speaker 13: I think it is about one point three million Aussies
• 27:17
  Speaker 13: have diabetes. Men more likely to have diabetes and women.
• 27:20
  Speaker 13: Adults living in the most disadvantaged areas are more likely
• 27:23
  Speaker 13: to have diabetes. And interestingly, I found that Diabetes Australia
• 27:28
  Speaker 13: Chief Executive Justin Kane says there's actually a stigma around
• 27:32
  Speaker 13: even speaking about it, so some people are very uncomfortable
• 27:35
  Speaker 13: about saying that they have diabetes. Hence they're not getting
• 27:39
  Speaker 13: the support and the treatment that they may need. So
• 27:42
  Speaker 13: she's saying we need to ditch the stigma and the
• 27:46
  Speaker 13: data also showed that there's a growing number of Aussies
• 27:49
  Speaker 13: with high cholesterol and also vitamin deficiencies.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: And I thank you Dinand Tomayow it is now eleven
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: to six. Okay, we got a little bit more out
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: of the government on the cook Straight firies to you,
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: but not whole heap. It's agreed to go forward with
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: Winston Peter's proposal, which will include road and rail decks
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: and capacity for fifteen hundred passengers. Some say though the
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: capacity we will be less than we currently have. He says.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: The plan has two new theories, crossing Cooks Straight by
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: Christmas twenty twenty nine, which is where our old ferries
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: basically run out of life, and it claims he claimed anyway,
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: that it will be ultimately cheaper than the last government's option.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: So I'm joined now by Rail and Maritime Transport Union
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: spokesperson Todd Volster.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: Hello Todd, good morning.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: We still don't know how much is this going to cost,
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: particularly particularly port side, So what's your pick?
• 28:38
  Speaker 9: Look, the good news is there well, idle, that's the
• 28:41
  Speaker 9: main thing. So you know, we can't get past that.
• 28:45
  Speaker 9: It was going towards the monster Advisory.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: Groups Yeah, that was my third question. My question is
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: how much is this going to cost in your extremansion.
• 28:56
  Speaker 9: Look, it's completely unknown. We don't know what the breakout
• 28:59
  Speaker 9: costs with HE and I is, whether they were able
• 29:03
  Speaker 9: to make a deal or whether there's a deal there
• 29:06
  Speaker 9: with with High and Die around the canceled ferries. So
• 29:12
  Speaker 9: that's completely unknown what it's going to cost. That'll come
• 29:14
  Speaker 9: out if.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: We don't know what a deal costs. If we don't
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: know what a deal costs, do we really have a deal?
• 29:21
  Speaker 9: Well, they're saying that it's commercially sensitive. They can't say
• 29:24
  Speaker 9: how much's going to cost because that would that would
• 29:26
  Speaker 9: alter the bidding arrangement. So you know, the main takeaway
• 29:31
  Speaker 9: is they're rail enabled and we weren't going to get
• 29:32
  Speaker 9: male enabled. But we can't go past how long this
• 29:36
  Speaker 9: has taken. I REX was very very drawn out and
• 29:41
  Speaker 9: then we've had sixteen months of limbo about what's going
• 29:45
  Speaker 9: to happen in the future. It's been very disturbing for
• 29:47
  Speaker 9: my members, my rail maritime transport members working out of
• 29:51
  Speaker 9: tempt in both Bonington and Pickton. So yeah, the sure
• 29:55
  Speaker 9: side thing is definitely a concern. They're saying that they'll
• 29:59
  Speaker 9: take the up a little bit, but it needs to
• 30:02
  Speaker 9: be more modest than what the Irax project was. But
• 30:04
  Speaker 9: how modest is it going to be?
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: Well exactly, they say a rebuild and picton because that's
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: really behind, but just a revamp of Wellington. But I
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: understood that Wellington the because there was making it earthquake proof.
• 30:17
  Speaker 9: Yeah, that was definitely a concern. It was also making
• 30:19
  Speaker 9: it one hundred year asset that it didn't need to be,
• 30:21
  Speaker 9: So you know, it's fair to say that there was
• 30:24
  Speaker 9: the infrastructure on land that blew things out. The deal
• 30:28
  Speaker 9: for the boats was an ex fond deal. The original deal.
• 30:32
  Speaker 9: People talked about Ferraris and Toyotas or something or Corollas,
• 30:36
  Speaker 9: but it was never The concern around the boat build itself.
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: Was still on the port side. It's all in the

  Speaker 3: port side, all the port side, so they reckon the

  Speaker 3: boats are here by twenty twenty nine. There's an awful
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: lot of construction work that would have to happen so
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: that they can dock. Do you think the whole thing
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: is achievable? And also the current boats end of life

• 32:33
  Speaker 3: know nothing about it?
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: No?
• 32:34
  Speaker 14: I mean I understand to the point where I mean
• 32:36
