- 0:30Speaker 2: day for them.
- 0:30Speaker 3: Indeed, the attacker has been shot dead by the police.
- 0:35Speaker 3: We believe we know their identity, look for safety reasons
- 0:38Speaker 3: at the scene. We're unable to confirm at this stage.
- 0:43Speaker 3: Three other members of the public are in serious condition.
- 0:47Speaker 3: We have also made two further arrests.
- 0:50Speaker 2: Get the usual comments from the King and Stara.
- 0:52Speaker 3: I'm already able to say that additional police assets are
- 0:55Speaker 3: being deployed to Saint God's across the country and we
- 0:58Speaker 3: will do everything our Jewish community say.
- 1:01Speaker 2: Now it's an update on the flotilla with your grettas
- 1:04Speaker 2: and your TikTok stars.
- 1:05Speaker 4: We've lost contact with all three of our New Zealanders,
- 1:09Speaker 4: Sam Yusuf and Dunner and yes they've been taken.
- 1:15Speaker 5: We don't know what's happening.
- 1:16Speaker 2: Finally, this morning, today is the day that trophoties have
- 1:27Speaker 2: been waiting for. Taylor Swift is dropping her twelfth studio album,
- 1:30Speaker 2: Life of the Showgirl. She created this album during the

- 1:35Speaker 2: inspired by her life as an entertainer.
- 1:39Speaker 1: The News You Need this Morning and the in depth
- 1:41Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and One Root Love
- 1:46Speaker 1: Where You Live news talks that'd be.
- 1:48Speaker 2: The flotilla people aren't endearing themselves to the world this morning.
- 1:51Speaker 2: They've come out with a statement. So guy gets out
- 1:54Speaker 2: of his car in Manchester outside of synagogue with a
- 1:57Speaker 2: suicide vest on. This is, according to low witnesses, suicide.
- 2:01Speaker 2: Vest On gets out of the runs someone over. This
- 2:04Speaker 2: is a guy who's a techie who's going to work
- 2:07Speaker 2: watching all this happen on his commute. Guy gets out
- 2:10Speaker 2: of the car, runs someone over and then he thinks, oh,
- 2:13Speaker 2: that must have been a mistake. No, then this man
- 2:16Speaker 2: proceeds to stab the guy on the ground that he's
- 2:18Speaker 2: just run over, and so he realizes this is something more.
- 2:21Speaker 2: This is a terror attack. This is in Manchester, outside
- 2:24Speaker 2: of synagogue. And then he gets up and, according to
- 2:29Speaker 2: this witness, goes in a robotic manner with a knife
- 2:33Speaker 2: from victim to victim. So that's just horrific, isn't it?
- 2:37Speaker 2: Absolutely horrific? And then the flotilla people who are out
- 2:41Speaker 2: there getting close to Israeli water, Israeli waters and getting
- 2:48Speaker 2: themselves on TikTok and getting themselves on Instagram. And there's
- 2:51Speaker 2: a few kiwis there and great protests, whatever you want
- 2:54Speaker 2: to do. They came out and said, can you believe
- 2:56Speaker 2: it on a day like this? Well, you know, Keirs
- 2:59Speaker 2: Starmer has condemned the synagogue attack, but why is he
- 3:03Speaker 2: not condemning the Israelis coming on board our boat and
- 3:07Speaker 2: intercepting Just shut up, honestly, just shut up. People are
- 3:11Speaker 2: being killed there and you're sailing around the world on
- 3:16Speaker 2: a sort of a celebrity tik tok attention seeking mission.
- 3:23Speaker 2: That's basically all I can see you're doing. Nine minutes
- 3:26Speaker 2: after five now you're on News Talk CB. So this
- 3:28Speaker 2: business with to Party Maldi, it was always going to
- 3:31Speaker 2: happen at some point, but something was going to give,
- 3:33Speaker 2: wasn't it. Well, a Kapa Kingi, who is the head
- 3:36Speaker 2: of toy Tatidity, which is the group that did the
- 3:39Speaker 2: protest and did the marches. He's basically called out to
- 3:43Speaker 2: Party Maldi. He's come out and said there's a bit
- 3:46Speaker 2: of a dictatorship going on within to Party Maldi and
- 3:49Speaker 2: it's not really our co Pappa, not really what we're into.
- 3:53Speaker 2: So he's doing a bit of a split. Chippy's got
- 3:55Speaker 2: a problem on his hands, of course, because well he's
- 3:58Speaker 2: got to work with these guys.
- 3:59Speaker 6: I think Party Marty have got some internal issues of
- 4:02Speaker 6: their own to work through. They look like they're quite
- 4:04Speaker 6: a long way away from being ready to play a
- 4:06Speaker 6: constructive role in any future government.
- 4:08Speaker 2: So it is comments are crucial. He says there is
- 4:11Speaker 2: a dictatorship going on, and he said that they have
- 4:15Speaker 2: ego driven views on the Malordi electorate seats. So couple
- 4:19Speaker 2: of things. One, this is potentially good for the Labor
- 4:24Speaker 2: Party in terms of getting back those Malori seats because
- 4:27Speaker 2: they are by no means of foregone conclusion to Party Mardi's.
- 4:31Speaker 2: And let's not forget that Edu Kapakingi comes with a
- 4:34Speaker 2: massive and quite organized vocal voting bloc, so that is
- 4:40Speaker 2: a potentially good thing. The bad thing though, of course,
- 4:42Speaker 2: is that you then have a very messy looking to
- 4:44Speaker 2: party Mary that you can't do and deal with, so
- 4:46Speaker 2: you can't get yourself into government. We'll talk to Liam
- 4:49Speaker 2: here about that after. It's just before six this morning,
- 4:51Speaker 2: eleven after five.
- 4:54Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day Early
- 4:56Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof where you Live
- 5:01Speaker 1: News Talks.
- 5:01Speaker 2: The'd be five point thirteen and get in touch with
- 5:03Speaker 2: me this morning nine two ninety two. Would love to
- 5:05Speaker 2: hear from you. Happy Friday, Westpac where you can celebrate this.
- 5:08Speaker 2: They are now market leading in their mortgage rates, so
- 5:12Speaker 2: they lead the overall market with an eighteen month four
- 5:14Speaker 2: point four nine percent rate, four point eight five three
- 5:17Speaker 2: year rate and four point nine to nine rate for
- 5:19Speaker 2: four and five years, all ahead of the competition. Still
- 5:23Speaker 2: don't know what's going to happen next week with the
- 5:25Speaker 2: ocr whether they'll go for one or whether they'll go
- 5:27Speaker 2: for a double whammy. In fact, the market is basically
- 5:31Speaker 2: it doesn't know. Fifty basis points is just as likely
- 5:34Speaker 2: as twenty five in its pricing. It is thirteen after
- 5:38Speaker 2: five Bryan Bridge. New rules for pig farmers sales will
- 5:41Speaker 2: now spend time and creates less time, I should say,
- 5:44Speaker 2: and creates a limit on mating stalls and an increased
- 5:47Speaker 2: space for growing pigs by thirteen percent. It'll make our
- 5:50Speaker 2: standards amongst the highest in the world. Farmers get a
- 5:53Speaker 2: ten year window to adjust to this. But what about
- 5:56Speaker 2: the cost and the practicality? Brink prices with me in
- 5:58Speaker 2: did pork CEO Brink? Good morning, Good morning Brent. Good
- 6:04Speaker 2: to have you on the show.
- 6:05Speaker 7: Morning Ryan.
- 6:06Speaker 2: How are you very well? Thank you? So what is
- 6:08Speaker 2: the do you have you worked out what this might
- 6:10Speaker 2: cost the industry, what the added cost might be.
- 6:14Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean it's going to be a lot. There's
- 6:16Speaker 7: a lot of physical changes need to happen on farm.
- 6:19Speaker 7: There'll be some farmers that are looking at especially the
- 6:22Speaker 7: space requirements and realizing they're going to have to rip
- 6:24Speaker 7: out a lot of buildings, maybe even build new ones.
- 6:28Speaker 7: But overall it's something that pig industry recognizes needs to happen.
- 6:33Speaker 7: The position the government's come to on welfare is, you know,
- 6:39Speaker 7: it's going to put us up there with the best
- 6:40Speaker 7: in the world. So the science is backing the positions
- 6:44Speaker 7: they've come to.
- 6:45Speaker 2: The hard is the cost, Yes, what is the science
- 6:49Speaker 2: telling you about the welfare of the animal.
- 6:53Speaker 7: Well, you know, far and creates provide piglet protection during
- 6:56Speaker 7: the most moderable days of the piglet's life. They're specifically
- 7:00Speaker 7: designed to reduce the main causes of pivot death, you know, starvation,
- 7:04Speaker 7: high percent there, all those horrible things being crushed by
- 7:06Speaker 7: the sour itself. And so whilst we have been using
- 7:10Speaker 7: them for up to four weeks after the sour gives birth,
- 7:15Speaker 7: the science shows that actually it's just that first four
- 7:18Speaker 7: days that it has the most effect, and after that
- 7:22Speaker 7: we're able to buggets take care of the piglet's needs
- 7:26Speaker 7: without the needs for the South to be so confined.
- 7:28Speaker 7: So most of the rest of the world, in fact,
- 7:32Speaker 7: countries come into that send pork to New Zealand and
- 7:36Speaker 7: I can listen, you know, USA, Canada, Spain, Australia, Netherlands,
- 7:40Speaker 7: Pole and Ireland, UK, China, Italy, Belgium, all of them
- 7:42Speaker 7: send pork products or pork to New Zealand, and all
- 7:46Speaker 7: of them have no restriction on the Usafarian creates or
- 7:48Speaker 7: any confinement at all. So we're up there with the
- 7:52Speaker 7: best of the world. But we've just got to figure
- 7:53Speaker 7: out the real issue of leveling the playing field against imports.
- 7:59Speaker 2: Yes, this is the problem, right because we import. I mean,
- 8:02Speaker 2: in terms of what you produce as an industry, how
- 8:05Speaker 2: much of it is it exported versus stays here?
- 8:08Speaker 7: Almost zero gets exported.
- 8:10Speaker 2: Right, So you're competing now with countries who've got much
- 8:13Speaker 2: lower standards. Therefore it's going to be cheaper. How do
- 8:15Speaker 2: you do? How do you compete? Yeah?
- 8:17Speaker 7: Sixty percent of what people eat here is imported. And
- 8:21Speaker 7: a lot of the countries that actually are I guess
- 8:25Speaker 7: close to or on some respects considered to have more
- 8:30Speaker 7: stringent standards in New Zealand, there's only about three of them. Sweden, Switzerland,
- 8:34Speaker 7: Norway are really good examples. They've got significant government subsidization.
- 8:40Speaker 7: Up to sixty percent of Norway's farm income on pig
- 8:44Speaker 7: farms is government funded. And New Zealand that's what we're
- 8:50Speaker 7: competing with you and they don't have imports coming in either, right.
- 8:55Speaker 2: So you do? What do you do? Then? Do we
- 8:58Speaker 2: have some kind of import standard that they need to
- 9:00Speaker 2: meet on animal welfare?
- 9:03Speaker 7: That would be ideal, though we've got trade considerations that
- 9:06Speaker 7: I'm sure the government's very worried about. I think if
- 9:10Speaker 7: consumers were able to make better choices if they were
- 9:13Speaker 7: able to see labeling and information about where their pork's
- 9:18Speaker 7: coming from a lot clearer in stores. That would really help.
- 9:20Speaker 7: It would give people the choice and in the retailers
- 9:24Speaker 7: and those that use pork products in New Zealand making
- 9:29Speaker 7: the right choice and thinking about the standards the pork's
- 9:33Speaker 7: produced under and what they want to support with the
- 9:35Speaker 7: money they pay for it by choosing to buy New Zealand.
- 9:38Speaker 7: It's going to be very, very difficult, I think, to
- 9:41Speaker 7: convince the government to change import rules, but that is
- 9:46Speaker 7: the ideal.
- 9:46Speaker 2: They've got trade deals and stuff to worry about. As
- 9:48Speaker 2: you say, Brent, appreciate your time to brink Class sounding
- 9:51Speaker 2: pretty upbeat despite what the extra cost will mean for them.
- 9:53Speaker 2: Brink Class, the n Z pork chief executive with us
- 9:56Speaker 2: this morning. I guess the moral of the story is
- 9:57Speaker 2: if you care about animal welfare, and obviously we do
- 10:00Speaker 2: because this is a pro farming a government that's changing
- 10:03Speaker 2: this law, then you go and buy. When you go
- 10:06Speaker 2: to the supermarket to buy your pork, you go and
- 10:08Speaker 2: find something that is produced here. Eighteen after five News
- 10:12Speaker 2: Talk SEBB.
- 10:13Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan
- 10:17Speaker 1: Bridge and one roof Love where you Live News Talk seb.
- 10:21Speaker 2: But more on that terror attack over in Manchester shortly
- 10:24Speaker 2: just gone twenty after five. The AI boom, a lot
- 10:26Speaker 2: of people worrying all was it gonna be like an
- 10:29Speaker 2: Internet bubble? Is it going to burst at some point? Well,
- 10:31Speaker 2: there's a brit by the name of James Anderson. He
- 10:34Speaker 2: was an early backer in Tesla. He was an early
- 10:36Speaker 2: backer in Amazon ten Cen, which is Ali Barba, so
- 10:39Speaker 2: lots of good stuff that grew in value. Knows what
- 10:42Speaker 2: he's talking about, He said, Actually, I haven't been worried
- 10:45Speaker 2: about an AI bubble at all until recently. When you
- 10:49Speaker 2: know OpenAI, which does chat gpt, and its rival Anthropic,
- 10:54Speaker 2: they both increase their evaluations massively just in the last
- 10:58Speaker 2: few months. So Open Eye our Open Ai forgive Me
- 11:02Speaker 2: reportedly and talks about a share sale that would value
- 11:05Speaker 2: it at five hundred billion US dollars. That's up from
- 11:10Speaker 2: three hundred billion just in April, and up from one
- 11:14Speaker 2: hundred and fifty seven billion last October, so quite the
- 11:18Speaker 2: meteoric rise. Anthropic, on the other hand, has trebled its
- 11:21Speaker 2: valuation recently, going from sixty billion in March to one
- 11:24Speaker 2: hundred and seventy billion last month. He says the scale
- 11:27Speaker 2: of that jump and the pace bothers him. Twenty one
- 11:33Speaker 2: after five, we've got the final round of the Rugby
- 11:35Speaker 2: Championship this weekend. The All Blacks take on the Wallaby's
- 11:37Speaker 2: in Perth to sold out Opta Stadium. It's ten forty
- 11:40Speaker 2: five pm our time, Saturday night. Elliott Smith News Talks.
- 11:43Speaker 2: AB's voice of rugby is the Elliott. Good morning morning Ryan.
- 11:46Speaker 2: So what's a vibe like over there?
- 11:48Speaker 8: Yeah, it's been a big build up. Obviously the Wallaby's
- 11:50Speaker 8: gone with a little bit of confidence given the way
- 11:53Speaker 8: they were able to appreciate the All Blacks the last week.
- 11:56Speaker 8: It wasn't quite enough to win the Bledders Load Cup.
- 11:59Speaker 8: But since there is an opportunity to get first win
- 12:03Speaker 8: over the All Blacks since twenty twenty ten straight. The
- 12:06Speaker 8: All Blacks have one. But you know, the Warby's certainly
- 12:10Speaker 8: knocked off, not knocked off by the defeat last week
- 12:13Speaker 8: in Auckland and sensing there was a chance to cause
- 12:15Speaker 8: some kiwi pane this weekend.
- 12:17Speaker 2: We've got a few other injuries. Boden Barrett's out any
- 12:20Speaker 2: concerns there.
- 12:21Speaker 8: Yeah, I think you'd be up for two to three weeks. Well,
- 12:23Speaker 8: the sound of it should be okay. For Chicago. Damien
- 12:27Speaker 8: McKenzie comes in. He's been the understudy all year long
- 12:31Speaker 8: for Boden Barrett. Came off the bench instead the ship
- 12:33Speaker 8: for an hour last week, so not a huge drop necessarily,
- 12:39Speaker 8: but Boden Barrett's certainly the first choice and that All
- 12:42Speaker 8: Blacks set up. They lose Ethan de Groot as well
- 12:44Speaker 8: up front to Mighty Williams comes through. This is all
- 12:47Speaker 8: about finding that depth, of course, ahead of the twenty
- 12:49Speaker 8: twenty seven World Cup. Couple of other selections as well,
- 12:52Speaker 8: with Peter Luktai coming in at number eight, which is
- 12:55Speaker 8: a real surprise when that was named yesterday here in Australia,
- 13:00Speaker 8: and also Quinta Pie at center, so a couple of surprises.
- 13:04Speaker 8: Just as the All Blacks try to find a little
- 13:05Speaker 8: bit of depth. There's not many opportunities to build those
- 13:08Speaker 8: depths with such a congested test schedule and everyone being
- 13:12Speaker 8: so even around the world at the moment, so trying
- 13:14Speaker 8: to find those opportunities to learn a little bit more
- 13:16Speaker 8: about some of these players are few and far between,
- 13:19Speaker 8: but that's what Scott Robinson's done this week not quite
- 13:22Speaker 8: as conservative, maybe as we expected it to be.
- 13:25Speaker 2: Very even Stevens. Assuming we beat the Wallabies in Perth
- 13:29Speaker 2: them were onto this Grand Slam tour. What do we
- 13:31Speaker 2: need to do there?
- 13:33Speaker 8: Well, I think that any inconsistency is the focus for
- 13:36Speaker 8: the All Blacks. If they went on Saturday night, that's
- 13:39Speaker 8: two in a row. First I've been able to do
- 13:41Speaker 8: that in the Rugby Championship, and then as you said,
- 13:43Speaker 8: you know they got Ireland, who are always tough, that's
- 13:47Speaker 8: in Chicago. England are really really tricky at home, Scotland
- 13:50Speaker 8: having never beaten the All Blacks in Edinburgh, but will
- 13:53Speaker 8: fancy their chances, and then Wales surround out the year.
- 13:56Speaker 8: The All Blacks need to win and keep winning and
- 13:58Speaker 8: building that momentum because there are so many questions around
- 14:01Speaker 8: this All Blacks team and until they start stringing wins together,
- 14:05Speaker 8: these questions are going to remain. So once we sit
- 14:08Speaker 8: back at the end of the year, over the summer
- 14:10Speaker 8: and can look back at the record for the year,
- 14:14Speaker 8: that's probably when we'll know how on track this All
- 14:16Speaker 8: Blacks team is ahead of twenty twenty seven.
- 14:18Speaker 2: He is hoping Elliott Smith, NEWSTALKSB Voice of Rugby and Perth.
- 14:21Speaker 2: It is twenty four after five News Talks FB the early.
- 14:25Speaker 1: Edition full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by.
- 14:28Speaker 2: NEWSTALKSB NEWSTALKSB twenty six minutes after five. At what point
- 14:34Speaker 2: do you say this local government election is a failure,
- 14:36Speaker 2: a flop, not worth the paper it's written on. I
- 14:39Speaker 2: think we can pretty much do that now. Even in Auckland,
- 14:42Speaker 2: our biggest city, the super city, with all the responsibility
- 14:45Speaker 2: after amalgamation, the turnout after two weeks nine percent last
- 14:50Speaker 2: time in total thirty five percent. That's not a mandate.
- 14:54Speaker 2: That's a vote of no confidence. And if you think
- 14:57Speaker 2: about it, it's not like Kerewies aren't engaged in democracy.
- 14:59Speaker 7: More.
- 15:00Speaker 2: We vote in the national elections that are very closer
- 15:02Speaker 2: to eighty percent. So then you ask yourself what's the
- 15:05Speaker 2: problem with local government? Two things. One, there's too many
- 15:07Speaker 2: of them. You've got to get rid of regional councils.
- 15:10Speaker 2: You can have the number of local ones. Surely turn
- 15:13Speaker 2: the system from a council mayor to a mayor council system.
- 15:18Speaker 2: More on that in a second. We've got something like
- 15:21Speaker 2: seventy eight local authorities for five million people. It's just nuts,
- 15:24Speaker 2: it's dumb. Once they get to the council table, of course,
- 15:27Speaker 2: the mayor becomes a cuck to whoever looney nutbar widow
- 15:32Speaker 2: was elected to the council and a few hundred votes
- 15:35Speaker 2: would have got them there. Of course doesn't take much,
- 15:37Speaker 2: and they've all got dreams of riding their bikes to work.
- 15:40Speaker 2: So here's the problem why people don't vote. They don't
- 15:44Speaker 2: vote because the powers too evenly shared. I think we
- 15:49Speaker 2: vote in a guy who's just told the rate paying
- 15:51Speaker 2: group we're about to to f off. Did you see
- 15:54Speaker 2: that yesterday? Wayne Brown, in an email to the Ratepayers
- 15:58Speaker 2: Alliance said just f off. And the problem with that
- 16:02Speaker 2: is we voted this guy in and even he struggles
- 16:04Speaker 2: to shake things up. So we need a better system.
- 16:08Speaker 2: Most councils should be put in the bin, and we
- 16:12Speaker 2: need a strong mayor system. This is where the mayor
- 16:16Speaker 2: has veto power over legislation. They appoint the department heads
- 16:21Speaker 2: and they control the budget. One man or women, one plan,
- 16:26Speaker 2: get it done. Until then, there's no point in voting
- 16:29Speaker 2: for this hodgepodge bunch of do nothing naval gazers sitting
- 16:32Speaker 2: around thinking about what's on the menu for the next
- 16:34Speaker 2: ratepayer funded lunch? Ryan Bridge twenty eight minutes after five
- 16:38Speaker 2: News Talks. He'd been talking about the banks earlier. You know,
- 16:42Speaker 2: we had the earthquake changes come through from the government
- 16:44Speaker 2: this week, which is great to see, but what does
- 16:47Speaker 2: that mean that the banks are going to lend on
- 16:49Speaker 2: these So you've had all of these buildings sitting empty
- 16:52Speaker 2: on a list, on a register saying no, they don't
- 16:54Speaker 2: go in there because if an earthquake comes, you'll be
- 16:56Speaker 2: crushed and killed. And now magically the government's is it's okay,
- 17:01Speaker 2: they're off the register. Are the banks going to be
- 17:03Speaker 2: flooding into offer lending. The answer at this stage is
- 17:07Speaker 2: basically they don't know. They're still reading into it. But
- 17:11Speaker 2: the thing is it doesn't necessarily mean a building that
- 17:16Speaker 2: was on the list but then taken off may still
- 17:19Speaker 2: be too risky for the banks to lend on, you
- 17:21Speaker 2: know what I mean, They have other criteria. We'll get
- 17:26Speaker 2: to the UK on this terror attack after news on
- 17:29Speaker 2: News Talk SETB.

- 17:58Speaker 2: there's been a terror attack on a Jewish commit unity
- 18:00Speaker 2: in Manchester. The multi parties imploding this morning. We'll look
- 18:03Speaker 2: at that before top of the hour as well. We
- 18:05Speaker 2: were just discussing the earthquake, strengthening changes that have been
- 18:09Speaker 2: made or lack of changes that have been made, and
- 18:12Speaker 2: what that would mean for the banks. Ryan says this text.
- 18:15Speaker 2: I spoke to my insurance company yesterday. The government's changes
- 18:18Speaker 2: mean absolutely nothing. The building is still low quality. The
- 18:21Speaker 2: announcement does not actually change the engineering issues.
- 18:24Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 18:25Speaker 2: I think that we might increasingly find that's the case,
- 18:27Speaker 2: both for lending from banks and for insurance cover. These
- 18:31Speaker 2: changes will mean deadly squat twenty three away from six. Now,
- 18:37Speaker 2: let's go to our reporters around the country and we'll
- 18:38Speaker 2: start with Calm, Proxter and Needing. Colum the first anniversary
- 18:42Speaker 2: of the Dunedin floods today. Yeah, look, that's right.
- 18:45Speaker 4: State of emergency was put in place a year ago
- 18:48Speaker 4: after rainfall superseded averages for the month of October. In
- 18:51Speaker 4: just twelve hours alone, it caused widespread slips, flooding one
- 18:56Speaker 4: hundred and eighty mills. In fact, fell in two days,
- 18:59Speaker 4: dred scent Cident's had to evacuate their homes and the
- 19:02Speaker 4: civil Defense bunker was activated here.
- 19:05Speaker 2: So a year on, what's changed? Counselor and Meryl candidate here.
- 19:07Speaker 4: Sophie Barkers says the community we're upset then and that
- 19:11Speaker 4: is still echoing now. She says South to Needan has
- 19:13Speaker 4: become somewhat of a poster child for climate change. As
- 19:17Speaker 4: a result, Barker says they've put more than twenty nine
- 19:19Speaker 4: million dollars of flood alleviation plans in place for South
- 19:24Speaker 4: Donedan in future.
- 19:25Speaker 2: All Right, how's the weather today?
- 19:27Speaker 4: Cloud breaking to find spouse today, drizzle developing.
- 19:30Speaker 2: Tonight's the high today? Fourteen jeers Callum Courtney and christ
- 19:33Speaker 2: Jay Courtney.
- 19:34Speaker 10: Good morning, Ryan.
- 19:35Speaker 2: What's going on at the hot pools?
- 19:37Speaker 10: So New Brighton's teirpoona Taimiwana is hosting a starlight cinema
- 19:42Speaker 10: soak every Thursday, Saturday and Sunday this month and this
- 19:46Speaker 10: will start next week. It's an adult only event that
- 19:49Speaker 10: gives hot pool as a chance to relax in custom
- 19:51Speaker 10: made floating hammocks. Will movies play on the big screen
- 19:55Speaker 10: and they're kicking things off with Magic Mike. Manager Meren
- 19:58Speaker 10: Skipper says it's been on their Trea board since the
- 20:00Speaker 10: pool's opened in twenty twenty and it's looking like it'll
- 20:03Speaker 10: sell out.
- 20:04Speaker 2: Oh, it sounds quite cool. How's your weather?
- 20:06Speaker 10: Mostly cloudy, apatche drizzle before more rain late at night.
- 20:10Speaker 10: Northeasterlies are high of thirteen.
- 20:12Speaker 2: Thanks so much, mex and Wellington Morning Max, Good morning,
- 20:15Speaker 2: closer look at water loss in Wellington? What have you found?
- 20:19Speaker 11: Well, look, everyone has been patting themselves on the back
- 20:21Speaker 11: lately about how much better we're doing in terms of
- 20:24Speaker 11: those water leaks, bursting pipes, water usage, et cetera. We
- 20:28Speaker 11: should be fading any serious restrictions this summer. Touch would
- 20:32Speaker 11: at the post this morning has a story though, taking
- 20:34Speaker 11: a closer look at the numbers, Obviously there's been record
- 20:37Speaker 11: investment in the billions in Wellington. Wellington Water says thanks
- 20:42Speaker 11: to that money, we've saved four billion liters of drinking
- 20:45Speaker 11: water in the year to July, water that was previously
- 20:48Speaker 11: being lost. But ultimately, let's not get too excited because
- 20:51Speaker 11: daily in the capital we still lose about sixty five
- 20:54Speaker 11: to seventy million liters of water a day. I opened
- 20:58Speaker 11: up the calculator. Some quick, that's almost thirty Olympic swimming
- 21:01Speaker 11: pools worth of water that we're losing drinking water each
- 21:05Speaker 11: day in Wellington, water loss only improving from forty one
- 21:08Speaker 11: percent to thirty seven. We're still hemorrhaging water. It's not good.
- 21:13Speaker 11: The infrastructure still deteriorating, and Wellington we are still essentially
- 21:17Speaker 11: the worst in the country. We may be doing better,
- 21:19Speaker 11: but we're still the worst. And the message is everyone
- 21:22Speaker 11: should be thinking very carefully still about usage over the summer.
- 21:27Speaker 2: Good for you. How's your winner? Thank you? Some clouds,
- 21:31Speaker 2: some drizzle sixteen. It's funny, isn't it, because you're going
- 21:35Speaker 2: to have to conserve water, but so much of it's
- 21:37Speaker 2: being wasted. I don't know. It's it's infrastructure, isn't it.
- 21:40Speaker 2: Thank you Max. Neighbors in Auckland, Hey, Neva havevy Friday?
- 21:44Speaker 2: Now things better in Auckland.
- 21:46Speaker 12: No, Well look what have you got? Well look, let's
- 21:50Speaker 12: talk about dogs and dog owners. So Auckland councils dished
- 21:53Speaker 12: out more than six thousand fines to dog owners who've repeatedly,
- 21:57Speaker 12: as we know, ignored warnings to register your pets. So
- 22:01Speaker 12: it's an increase of about seven point five percent. This
- 22:03Speaker 12: is on last year's five and a half thousand. So
- 22:05Speaker 12: the council says, despite countless changes and chances to meet requirements,
- 22:10Speaker 12: more than twenty nine thousand dogs remain unregistered in the city.
- 22:14Speaker 2: That's a lot, as matters a lot. So and do
- 22:17Speaker 2: they find them? I've always wondered about this. Do they
- 22:20Speaker 2: find them only if they come across them unregistered in
- 22:22Speaker 2: a park? Or do you get sent a letter saying
- 22:25Speaker 2: your hair is a fine because you didn't register it?
- 22:27Speaker 8: You know what I mean?
- 22:28Speaker 12: Yeah, exactly.
- 22:29Speaker 2: I know somebody who doesn't register their dogs. Oh, I
- 22:32Speaker 2: know it's not me, and and he's registered, and he's registered,
- 22:35Speaker 2: she's got her little color tag and everything. But I
- 22:38Speaker 2: know a guy who doesn't do it because he says
- 22:40Speaker 2: it's two hundred bucks. I was going to ask you
- 22:42Speaker 2: how much it is two hundred or more than two
- 22:44Speaker 2: hundred dollars every time you do it? And it's like,
- 22:46Speaker 2: what is that actually getting me? It's paying for the
- 22:48Speaker 2: pound for owners who are terrible with their dogs, not responsible.
- 22:52Speaker 12: Well, do you know what I'm going to say to
- 22:53Speaker 12: that If you can't pay it, don't have a flip
- 22:56Speaker 12: and pet dog.
- 22:57Speaker 2: I don't have one good advice. No, it's it's true.
- 23:01Speaker 2: It's true, it's good advice.
- 23:02Speaker 1: That's right.
- 23:03Speaker 2: Got to do it properly.
- 23:04Speaker 12: Niva has great advice. Scatted rain becoming widespread, heavier by
- 23:07Speaker 12: the afternoon as thunderstorms possible tonight. Wow a high of twenty.
- 23:13Speaker 2: Happy Friday, Neva nineteen away from six News Talk c B.
- 23:17Speaker 2: We'll get to our UK correspondent Vincent mcavinie next on
- 23:21Speaker 2: this Manchester synagogue terror attack. Also will speak to Liam
- 23:24Speaker 2: here on the Mardi party before top of the Art.
- 23:27Speaker 2: Paul says, good morning. It's sixteen minutes away from six.
- 23:30Speaker 2: Paul says, Ryan labors still have three major problems. One
- 23:33Speaker 2: no policies, Two the Greens are as bad and mad
- 23:35Speaker 2: as to party Maldi, and three Chippies denying responsibility for
- 23:38Speaker 2: all and everything. We'll talk to Liam here about that.
- 23:41Speaker 2: He's on the show in just a few seconds.
- 23:43Speaker 1: International correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance, Peace of mind
- 23:47Speaker 1: for New Zealand business.
- 23:49Speaker 2: First of this terror attack at a synagogue in Manchester,
- 23:52Speaker 2: joining US Vincent mcaviny are UK europe correspondent Vincent. What's
- 23:55Speaker 2: the latest here?
- 23:57Speaker 13: Well, we are trying to unpick what happened. We under
- 24:00Speaker 13: stand at about nine thirty one this morning, the police
- 24:03Speaker 13: received a call that a man had crashed into a
- 24:05Speaker 13: crowd outside a synagogue which was busy because it's Yom Kapor,
- 24:09Speaker 13: a very holy festival day, and had got out the
- 24:13Speaker 13: car and then proceeded to start stabbing people. Now, when
- 24:15Speaker 13: police arrived and they were there within about five minutes,
- 24:19Speaker 13: they had managed to barricade the worshipers, barricade themselves inside
- 24:24Speaker 13: the synagogue. The man couldn't access it. Police warned him
- 24:27Speaker 13: to stop and ultimately they had to shoot him. He
- 24:30Speaker 13: then seemed to be trying to trigger a device which
- 24:33Speaker 13: was on his body, and police had to then shoot
- 24:36Speaker 13: him again to kill him. So we understand he managed
- 24:38Speaker 13: to kill two people outside. Four people were injured by him.
- 24:42Speaker 13: Three are said to be in a critical condition in hospital.
- 24:46Speaker 13: It's been declared a terrorist incident, and Prime Minister to
- 24:49Speaker 13: kiss Arma rushed back from a meeting in Denmark to
- 24:51Speaker 13: cherry security Cabinet meeting just now. We understand that there
- 24:55Speaker 13: will be increased security at Jewish schools at Jewish synagogue,
- 25:00Speaker 13: backed up by the police in the coming days after
- 25:03Speaker 13: what has been a really horrible incident, but many members
- 25:06Speaker 13: of the UK Jewish community say they've expected something like
- 25:09Speaker 13: this for some time, because they say there's been rising
- 25:12Speaker 13: anti semitism in this country ever since the October seventh attack.
- 25:16Speaker 2: I was going to say that while the keirstamus is
- 25:18Speaker 2: this is a shock and shocking, those Jewish communities say, actually,
- 25:22Speaker 2: we are not surprised. Has there been any response on
- 25:25Speaker 2: that line, particularly in light of the pro Palestine or
- 25:29Speaker 2: what some believe Prohamas approaches that have been going on.
- 25:34Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean in terms of the reaction sort of officially,
- 25:36Speaker 13: you know, every sort of faith group in the UK
- 25:38Speaker 13: has responded condemning the attack. Politicians from across the spectrum
- 25:43Speaker 13: also condemning it. Members of the Jewish community have said that,
- 25:47Speaker 13: you know that they have felt under threat for the
- 25:49Speaker 13: last two years that they've seen this creeping up. You know,
- 25:53Speaker 13: I'm not sure it worked the same in New Zealand,
- 25:55Speaker 13: but we have something called the Community Safety Trust here,
- 25:57Speaker 13: which means that all sort of Jewish schools and synagogues
- 26:00Speaker 13: have their own twenty four hour security operation themselves, and
- 26:05Speaker 13: they say that they've needed to sort of up that
- 26:07Speaker 13: to make sure that's been effective to stop any kind
- 26:10Speaker 13: of attacks being taken out, but that they've warned police
- 26:13Speaker 13: that the levels of violence so sort of hate that
- 26:15Speaker 13: they felt what they were seeing in marches that meant
- 26:19Speaker 13: that something like this was inevitable to them, and sadly
- 26:22Speaker 13: it's happened. So the police know the identity of the attacker,
- 26:25Speaker 13: they've not yet released it. We understand two other people
- 26:28Speaker 13: have been arrested at a separate location, but unclear yet
- 26:31Speaker 13: what the connection is there, but we'll find out in
- 26:35Speaker 13: the coming days.
- 26:35Speaker 2: All right, we'll do, Thanks so much. Vincent Mecavini, a
- 26:37Speaker 2: UK europe correspondent. Time is ditching and it's away from
- 26:40Speaker 2: six Ryan Bridge. More drama for the party, Maori Iru Kapakini.
- 26:44Speaker 2: This is the guy who led that big protuse, big
- 26:46Speaker 2: hikhoy over the treaty bill. He's cap ties with the party,
- 26:50Speaker 2: saying it's run like a dictatorship. Talks about it being
- 26:53Speaker 2: ego driven. Chris Hippins of course not rolling out working
- 26:56Speaker 2: with them next year, but sees they're a long way
- 26:58Speaker 2: from government. Needs to sort their oct doubt. Liam here
- 27:00Speaker 2: as political commentator with me this morning. Liam, Good morning
- 27:03Speaker 2: and good morning here, right, So is this good in
- 27:06Speaker 2: some ways potentially good for Labor on the MALDI seats
- 27:10Speaker 2: and but also bad in terms of forming a government.
- 27:13Speaker 9: No, I think it's only bad. I don't think that
- 27:16Speaker 9: these type of internal ructions really weaken the minor parties
- 27:21Speaker 9: in the way that they weaken major parties in terms
- 27:24Speaker 9: of how they go with the voters. You know, we've
- 27:27Speaker 9: seen in the past. You know, the Greens have had
- 27:30Speaker 9: a terrible couple of years, right, and the Greens have
- 27:32Speaker 9: had some internal ructions in the past. But because of
- 27:36Speaker 9: the dynamics of how the works of their voters and
- 27:40Speaker 9: how their voters they energize and motivated by different things,
- 27:43Speaker 9: is they don't seem to go down in the polls
- 27:46Speaker 9: or perform any worse. As long as they basically hold together,
- 27:50Speaker 9: they can have quite a lot of internal discord and
- 27:54Speaker 9: still retain their voter base. So I think it's only
- 27:58Speaker 9: bad for Labor given that Labor. There hasn't been a
- 28:02Speaker 9: single polls as a general election showing Labor able to
- 28:05Speaker 9: form a government at TPM. And the fact of the
- 28:08Speaker 9: matter is that while TPM might not be materially damaged
- 28:14Speaker 9: by this, Labor will be because Labor will have the
- 28:16Speaker 9: association and it's Labor voters, he will be repelled by
- 28:19Speaker 9: it's not TPM voters.
- 28:21Speaker 2: Which is why you're here to be saying this.
- 28:23Speaker 6: I think to party Marty have got some internal issues
- 28:25Speaker 6: of their own to work through. They look like they're
- 28:27Speaker 6: quite a long way away from being ready to play
- 28:29Speaker 6: a constructive role in any future government.
- 28:31Speaker 2: Is that basically like a kickoup the JACKSI he's they've
- 28:34Speaker 2: still got time to turn their party around and be
- 28:36Speaker 2: a credible partner for them.
- 28:39Speaker 9: Well, it's not really within't his control. I don't think,
- 28:45Speaker 9: you know, talking about being if he's ruling them out
- 28:49Speaker 9: with not if he's saying that they're a long way
- 28:51Speaker 9: off of being a constructive party in government with him,
- 28:55Speaker 9: But he's essentially saying that he was to be in government, right, So, like,
- 28:59Speaker 9: you know, perhaps it's a it's probably the strongest sort
- 29:02Speaker 9: of statement that Labor leaders even made about TVM in
- 29:06Speaker 9: recent years, which just goes to show how reliant they
- 29:08Speaker 9: are on TVM. It's pretty weak objectively, but ultimately, if
- 29:14Speaker 9: that's the strongest kind of distancing you're going to get, well,
- 29:18Speaker 9: you know, that's actually pretty weak.
- 29:19Speaker 2: What about the Marty seats themselves, do you think we
- 29:22Speaker 2: could see support moving to because obviously the tide's been
- 29:25Speaker 2: turning against labor. Could we see as a result of
- 29:29Speaker 2: this break of the movement some more support for labor
- 29:33Speaker 2: in the Marty seats.
- 29:35Speaker 9: No, I don't think so, because all of us is,
- 29:38Speaker 9: all of us is inside baseball, right. It's it's not
- 29:41Speaker 9: the type of thing that in those seats is going
- 29:44Speaker 9: to make the difference. You've still got all the energy
- 29:48Speaker 9: on the on the TPMs sort of side, and I
- 29:53Speaker 9: think the best analogy is to the Scottish National Party,
- 29:56Speaker 9: which has sort of wiped out labor in Scotland and
- 30:00Speaker 9: which hasn't really been slung down in that regard by
- 30:02Speaker 9: its own difficulties, internal breakdowns in arguments and sectionalism fun
- 30:09Speaker 9: time design. The more dominant thing is that actually TPM
- 30:14Speaker 9: is a more dynamic, more populist movement, and then the
- 30:19Speaker 9: Mauldi uturates, which are a low turnout lecturates. It's actually
- 30:23Speaker 9: that type of energy that matters a lot more. And
- 30:25Speaker 9: I think that the by election, the reason by ection
- 30:28Speaker 9: is really the sin of things to come.
- 30:30Speaker 2: They appreciate that analysis. Thank you, Liam. Here with us
- 30:33Speaker 2: Political commentator time is nine to six news talk set big.
- 30:37Speaker 1: Views and views you trust to start your day. It's
- 30:40Speaker 1: early edition with Brian Bridge and one roof Love where
- 30:44Speaker 1: you Live News Talks a B.
- 30:47Speaker 2: Seven minutes away from six on News Talks. Heb so
- 30:49Speaker 2: it's here starmus Is is shocked by this terror attack
- 30:53Speaker 2: in Manchester. But there's a lot of people saying we
- 30:54Speaker 2: shouldn't be shocked because we've had pro Palestine or some
- 30:57Speaker 2: say pro Hamas rallies up and down the street to
- 31:00Speaker 2: this country four years now. And here's British political journalist
- 31:04Speaker 2: Julia Hartley Brewer having a go Prime Minister.
- 31:07Speaker 5: I don't think you have done enough to keep our
- 31:08Speaker 5: Jewish community safe. I think when you happily allow these
- 31:11Speaker 5: pro Palestinian marchers on the streets, and yeah, the last
- 31:14Speaker 5: government did too. I think it was a point when
- 31:15Speaker 5: they were supportive of the Palestinian people and people in Gaza.
- 31:19Speaker 5: They're just pro Hammus March. There's a lot of people
- 31:21Speaker 5: who organize them are very very closely linked with Hamas
- 31:24Speaker 5: Terras who launched the attack on October seven.
- 31:26Speaker 2: So you can imagine what Faraj is going to say
- 31:28Speaker 2: about all this. He's a spected to talk shortly times.
- 31:31Speaker 2: Ryan Bridge six to two now and Mike's here morning. Mike,
- 31:34Speaker 2: greetings to you. Ryan, good to see you. How are
- 31:37Speaker 2: you complaining about the lights this morning?
- 31:39Speaker 1: See.
- 31:40Speaker 2: I don't want to bring.
- 31:41Speaker 14: Body with the technical details of putting this.
- 31:43Speaker 2: Program to a but you need to be able to see.
- 31:46Speaker 14: I raised with management a couple of weeks ago the
- 31:50Speaker 14: problem with the lights in the studio, which were about
- 31:52Speaker 14: one hundred and twelve years old and had a yellow
- 31:54Speaker 14: tinge to them, and I said, this is unacceptable, let's
- 31:57Speaker 14: do something about it, and they said, no problem. All
- 32:00Speaker 14: several days later, people have been up with hivers, vests
- 32:04Speaker 14: and ladders and things like that. And turns out Glenn
- 32:07Speaker 14: tells me no one's actually come to me officially from management.
- 32:10Speaker 14: Turns out Glenn tells me it costs thousands, thousands upon
- 32:12Speaker 14: thousands of dollars to rectify the situation. And part of
- 32:15Speaker 14: the problem the lights were too yellow is the problem.
- 32:17Speaker 14: They're old, they faded light. You know when late lights
- 32:20Speaker 14: get old. Yeah, they're virtually candles.
- 32:22Speaker 2: So you and the problem for you is that you
- 32:24Speaker 2: couldn't read the paper.
- 32:25Speaker 14: I don't know, it's just the light was inconsistent in
- 32:27Speaker 14: the studio. You had bright lights and dull lights. And
- 32:29Speaker 14: I like a good consistent light. I like to be
- 32:31Speaker 14: so I like to curate my surroundings. Okay, so none of.
- 32:35Speaker 2: Us are getting pay rises.
- 32:36Speaker 14: And they go out and so it was the drivers,
- 32:40Speaker 14: not the bulb. So they're out there buying parallel importing
- 32:42Speaker 14: cheap drivers from China, and so anyway, they do all
- 32:45Speaker 14: of this, and they and I say thank you very much. Anyway,
- 32:47Speaker 14: the next it's gone out again.
- 32:49Speaker 2: It's another one flickering light in the studio this morning,
- 32:52Speaker 2: another one.
- 32:52Speaker 14: So they're going to be back up with the Hiver's
- 32:54Speaker 14: vests in the latter.
- 32:55Speaker 2: Can I ask you a very quick question.
- 32:56Speaker 14: Yes, you're the wrong person to ask, because you've got
- 32:58Speaker 14: no taste in cars because you drive the station Wagon.
- 33:01Speaker 14: Does the name of a car do anything for you
- 33:04Speaker 14: as the purchaser of the vehicle if you were in
- 33:07Speaker 14: the market buy a car.
- 33:08Speaker 2: Do you mean like the Corolla part of it or the.
- 33:11Speaker 14: Audi part of it, the Weston Martin power, Yes and no.
- 33:16Speaker 14: Would you buy a dong thing?
- 33:17Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been looking at the Dong things this morning.
- 33:19Speaker 2: They basically look like Tesla's. What do you mean with
- 33:22Speaker 2: the actual name, would you yeah?
- 33:24Speaker 14: Yeah, what do you drive, I drive a dong thing.
- 33:26Speaker 14: I mean, would you say that, of course you wouldn't say.
- 33:28Speaker 2: That, well, you just maybe you'd say it's a DF
- 33:31Speaker 2: What about a Yang Wing? Well, the other ones. I'm
- 33:38Speaker 2: surprised how many new cars we had, the Zeka, the Pharisen,
