1:56
Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on a early edition with
1:59
Speaker 1: Brian Bridge and r the Supercenter explore r VS accessories
2:04
Speaker 1: and servicing all in one news talks.
2:06
Speaker 2: That'd be nine two the number sexts me this morning,
2:09
Speaker 2: Big oc Arcle coming this week by the way, and
2:11
Speaker 2: hawksby obviously still they're still in charge. Even though we
2:14
Speaker 2: knew that Anna's coming. She's gone back to Sweden, should
2:16
Speaker 2: be packing all of her hiking gear into a suitcase
2:20
Speaker 2: and moving down here for December first, which is her
2:23
Speaker 2: first day, her first day with her feet under the desk.
2:26
Speaker 2: Now the markets have pretty much fifty to fifty on this.
2:28
Speaker 2: Everyone's kind of throwing their hands up in the air.
2:30
Speaker 2: Are they going to do a double whammy or are
2:32
Speaker 2: they going to do just a single twenty five basis
2:34
Speaker 2: point cut On Wednesday, we're at three percent now, inflation
2:38
Speaker 2: spiking again. But they should look through that couple of
2:41
Speaker 2: doves at that last meeting. You remember who decided that,
2:44
Speaker 2: hell with it, we're going for a double They were
2:46
Speaker 2: voted down. But are they still there in the room?
2:50
Speaker 2: Hawks By they reckon, it'll be a bit more cautious
2:52
Speaker 2: because he's on the way out, will kind of go
2:54
Speaker 2: with whatever the consensus is. Buckle has left his reply,
2:59
Speaker 2: and he was quite hawkish. His replacement may just go
3:03
Speaker 2: with the consensus too. So the question then becomes, what
3:05
Speaker 2: will the consensus be. Well, we don't know because we're
3:08
Speaker 2: not in the room, but the composition of the Monetary
3:10
Speaker 2: Policy Committee has certainly changed now the day before the
3:15
Speaker 2: quite influential NZI September quarter Business survey will be out.
3:19
Speaker 2: That comes out the day before, and you wouldn't expect
3:22
Speaker 2: them to make a decision based on that, but it
3:23
Speaker 2: will be important this one. So we'll make sure you're
3:26
Speaker 2: across that, you know, do we go it? Does it
3:29
Speaker 2: show that we're in an even bigger hole than we
3:32
Speaker 2: were in quarter two or that we haven't quite dug
3:34
Speaker 2: out of it? Or are there signs of life? Do
3:37
Speaker 2: we go single? Do we go double? Those will be
3:39
Speaker 2: the questions before Arna even gets to work. Coming up next,
3:43
Speaker 2: it is Crime on Bail, News Talk SEB, Views.
3:47
Speaker 1: And Views You Trust to start your day. It's early
3:51
Speaker 1: edition with Bryan Bridge and are the Supercenter explore? Are
3:55
Speaker 1: these accessories and servicing fall?
3:57
Speaker 3: In one?
3:58
Speaker 2: News Talks B five twelve. Couple of good little bits
4:00
Speaker 2: of news for your Monday morning. Two hundred and fifteen
4:03
Speaker 2: million dollars were taken out a kiwisaver and early withdrawls.
4:06
Speaker 2: This is for August now that's first home buys and
4:09
Speaker 2: for people who are struggling with hardship, which means that
4:12
Speaker 2: it is up seventeen percent then a year prior, but
4:15
Speaker 2: it is going up at a slower rate. In fact,
4:18
Speaker 2: hardship has now either fallen or been flat since its peak,
4:23
Speaker 2: which was in twenty twenty three, So that's a good thing.
4:26
Speaker 2: The other good thing to know this morning is oil
4:29
Speaker 2: APEC Plus have decided in their infinite wisdom to push
4:34
Speaker 2: out some more barrels in extra one hundred and thirty
4:36
Speaker 2: seven thousand barrels a day in November. This will match
4:39
Speaker 2: their increase for October. They are trying to regain some
4:42
Speaker 2: market share. The Americans have taken a bit from them.
4:45
Speaker 2: The Americans price down thirteen percent this year because of
4:49
Speaker 2: the increased production. They're worried about a glutch. And if
4:52
Speaker 2: you're worried about a glutch, that means good news for
4:54
Speaker 2: the price of oil. So that's all happening this month
4:56
Speaker 2: and next News.
4:57
Speaker 7: Talks their b Spray and Bridge.
5:00
Speaker 2: We've got new numbers out this morning on crime. While
5:03
Speaker 2: on bail, Ministry of Justice figures show convictions jumped by
5:06
Speaker 2: nearly twelve thousand between twenty fifteen and twenty twenty four.
5:10
Speaker 2: Homicides doubled from ten to twenty five over that time,
5:13
Speaker 2: with court backlogs taking up much of the blame. Steve Callen,
5:15
Speaker 2: criminal lawyer, with us this morning. Steve, Good morning, Good morning.
5:19
Speaker 2: So what is this telling us?
5:22
Speaker 8: Well, the figures are a little bit confusing, to be honest,
5:25
Speaker 8: There's been a ten year period. There's no doubt that
5:28
Speaker 8: there are increases occurring in crimes, but then everything else
5:33
Speaker 8: is going up as well. You'd want to be a
5:37
Speaker 8: praised of the demographics of society. Are we getting an
5:40
Speaker 8: increase in the proportion of youth? Are we getting an
5:43
Speaker 8: increase in the proportion of young people before the courts?
5:46
Speaker 8: Are there more gang members? We know that there are
5:49
Speaker 8: more drug abusers. It's a concerning statistic, but in the
5:53
Speaker 8: absence of more information, it's hard to derive any really
5:57
Speaker 8: concrete decisions from it.
6:00
Speaker 2: A bit more context, doesn't it, Steve.
6:01
Speaker 8: What are you saying, Well, certainly we're seeing that people
6:07
Speaker 8: are sometimes noncompliant with bail, and they certainly do go
6:11
Speaker 8: on to commit further offending. This release talks about fears
6:16
Speaker 8: that the offense is that people are on bail go
6:19
Speaker 8: and commit somehow pertain to existing victims. Well, I haven't
6:23
Speaker 8: seen any particular evidence of that. They do go on
6:26
Speaker 8: to commit more offenses, but that's just the nature of
6:29
Speaker 8: the beast. I'm afraid when they deal with criminal law.
6:32
Speaker 8: The period they're talking about spans, for example, the period
6:34
Speaker 8: when we had COVID, when we had ram raids. What
6:38
Speaker 8: we are seeing, I think, in my own view, is
6:40
Speaker 8: that there's been a bit of a decline in respect
6:43
Speaker 8: for law and order and institutions that seems to be worldwide.
6:47
Speaker 8: It's come through social media and it seems to be
6:50
Speaker 8: almost reflected in some of the people's attitudes towards bail
6:54
Speaker 8: were the less of a mind to take it seriously.
6:58
Speaker 8: But let's not forget over eighty percent of people who
7:02
Speaker 8: are on electronically monitored bail, for example, are compliant.
7:06
Speaker 2: If you get bail once and then stuff, you'll bail up,
7:09
Speaker 2: do you get bail again.
7:12
Speaker 8: It's not automatic. It needs a legitimate reason to explain
7:15
Speaker 8: why there were difficulties with bail, and then the courts
7:18
Speaker 8: would look at all the surrounding circumstances. It's not a
7:21
Speaker 8: total prohibition, but it's most certainly taken into account in
7:26
Speaker 8: later hearings. And yes, it will impact on your ability
7:29
Speaker 8: to get bailed that you've breached to bail in the past.
7:33
Speaker 8: And what's of even more important is that if people
7:36
Speaker 8: are on electronically monitored sentences and violate those, then there's
7:40
Speaker 8: a higher likelihood that they're not going to receive a
7:43
Speaker 8: similar sentence. Are in electronically monitored sentence when it comes
7:47
Speaker 8: to sentencing, so they'll face imprisonment.
7:49
Speaker 2: Well that makes sense to me, Steve, thanks for that,
7:52
Speaker 2: Steve Cullen. Criminal Royal time is sixteen after five news Talk,
7:56
Speaker 2: said b.
7:58
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge on early edition with r V Supercenter explore
8:03
Speaker 1: RV's accessories and servicing all in one news talks.
8:06
Speaker 2: That be it is eighteen minutes after five. So one
8:09
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty two thousand people become eligible today for
8:12
Speaker 2: free screening in their first year. This is Bowe's screening
8:16
Speaker 2: been lowered from sixty down to fifty eight years. This
8:19
Speaker 2: is for Northland, Auckland and South Auckland. The rest of
8:23
Speaker 2: the North Island is going to follow in March next year,
8:26
Speaker 2: and then everybody else after that. By twenty twenty seven
8:30
Speaker 2: it should be fifty eight everywhere. Now you might have
8:32
Speaker 2: heard in the news there's a big debate about some
8:35
Speaker 2: ethnic groups were allowed to have their screening done I
8:38
Speaker 2: think from the age of fifty much earlier than the
8:41
Speaker 2: rest of the general population. And people have said, well,
8:43
Speaker 2: and that's been taken away, so that's now going to
8:45
Speaker 2: be fifty eight for everyone, And people are saying, well,
8:48
Speaker 2: that's not fear. The Ministry of Health data shows that
8:53
Speaker 2: you will save more lives overall by making this change
8:58
Speaker 2: to fifty eight for everybody than you would by having
9:01
Speaker 2: bespoke tailored approaches by ethnicity. So what is the Ministry
9:07
Speaker 2: of Health's job? Is it to keep the biggest number
9:10
Speaker 2: of people healthy and happy as possible? And if so,
9:14
Speaker 2: then is that not right? The right call? Nineteen minutes
9:16
Speaker 2: after five, graham Bridge great in her old Grand Final
9:20
Speaker 2: over at the weekend. Let's talk about Steve Walsh. What
9:24
Speaker 2: a restaurant for rather what an amazing game he had?
9:28
Speaker 9: Look right, I'm a bit bleary eye this morning because
9:31
Speaker 9: I did stay up and watch it. It was just
9:33
Speaker 9: so compelling and Brisbane really earned that one. I mean
9:36
Speaker 9: twenty six twenty two, and I mean they talk about
9:38
Speaker 9: Reese lightning, don't they, And he was everywhere. It was
9:43
Speaker 9: the most I mean they talk about as one of
9:44
Speaker 9: the most influential Grand Final performances, and of course taking
9:47
Speaker 9: the Clive Churchill Medal. I mean, I don't know what's
9:50
Speaker 9: in the toilet water at Reese Walsh's place, but it
9:53
Speaker 9: is something special because on defense, on attack, he was
9:56
Speaker 9: setting up everything and he talked about them. You know,
9:59
Speaker 9: you want to hear in the balls there with the
10:00
Speaker 9: moneyball he'd delivered at one point there. It was he
10:04
Speaker 9: just set it all up in phenomenal performance from Brismon
10:07
Speaker 9: and Melbourne finishing the second again as a result of that.
10:10
Speaker 7: But pretty hard to turn that down.
10:11
Speaker 9: I mean Melbourne were up twenty to twelve yes at
10:15
Speaker 9: halftime and Brisbane of getting scoreless in the second half
10:18
Speaker 9: and added on fourteen points I mean whilst making the
10:21
Speaker 9: try saving.
10:22
Speaker 2: Tackle effectively as well. Yeah, it was.
10:24
Speaker 7: It was quite phenomenal.
10:26
Speaker 9: And I mean they'd lost being Hunt to concussion as well,
10:29
Speaker 9: Skipper Adam Reynolds had limped off with the carpentery in
10:33
Speaker 9: the second half, so yeah, they had it all to
10:34
Speaker 9: play for.
10:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, and especially after all the stuff that's been going
10:38
Speaker 2: on in his personal life, his daughter and all that
10:41
Speaker 2: sort of stuff.
10:42
Speaker 9: So just that, I mean a lot of the time
10:44
Speaker 9: with sports people it's had ability to compartmentalize, and people
10:48
Speaker 9: in any professional image when things are going on and
10:51
Speaker 9: they're able to just put it to one side and
10:53
Speaker 9: still do their job in that fashion.
10:55
Speaker 7: So yeah, phenomenal to watch.
10:56
Speaker 2: How about that was? Yeah, that's right.
10:58
Speaker 9: So taking that with the new South Wales taking it
11:02
Speaker 9: out in terms of the what we call it the
11:05
Speaker 9: second tier. If you like so yes, I promised there
11:08
Speaker 9: for the Warriors at that at that second level.
11:10
Speaker 2: And the we did it.
11:13
Speaker 9: But MESSI yeah, this is relatively clinical in a way,
11:17
Speaker 9: and that they just did what they needed to do.
11:19
Speaker 9: I thought just from watching that game, just piecing it
11:22
Speaker 9: together in the wet there in Perth. I think the
11:26
Speaker 9: Rugby Championship probably finished the way it should have done,
11:28
Speaker 9: those so Africa winning it of course, with that narrow
11:30
Speaker 9: victory over Argentina twigging them, but I think probably looking
11:34
Speaker 9: ahead now, I'm looking forward to seeing the Abits with
11:37
Speaker 9: that potential to take a Grand Slam. That always adds
11:40
Speaker 9: another element to an end of year tour if you
11:42
Speaker 9: can beat all the home nations and that's all coming up,
11:46
Speaker 9: starting with the Ireland and the States.
11:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, fantastic looking forward to that.
11:50
Speaker 10: Now.
11:50
Speaker 2: Dame Knowles, this is just going getting ridiculous now, so
11:54
Speaker 2: she's out for the for the rest of the season now,
11:57
Speaker 2: Slation Cup lawyers are involved, and it looks like the
12:01
Speaker 2: only place left for it to go might be the
12:03
Speaker 2: employment relations or things.
12:05
Speaker 9: That's that's messy, that is, I mean, I think that
12:08
Speaker 9: was the one chance to resolve it, and now I
12:11
Speaker 9: just can't see that getting any healthier.
12:13
Speaker 7: Really, it seems quite quite bitter.
12:17
Speaker 2: What do you how do you read into that? Do
12:18
Speaker 2: you think that there must be a hardcore group of
12:21
Speaker 2: players who are just dead against her that are holding
12:23
Speaker 2: on There must be otherwise neckble New Zealand surely would.
12:26
Speaker 7: Just oh yeah, for sure.
12:27
Speaker 9: Otherwise you would have resolution and have compromise, and you
12:31
Speaker 9: would meet somewhere in the middle and there would be
12:34
Speaker 9: not necessarily a mere culple, but a resolution that you
12:37
Speaker 9: would I negotiate together about what had gone on and etc.
12:43
Speaker 7: But who's to know behind the scenes what's what's really
12:45
Speaker 7: gone on.
12:46
Speaker 9: It seems to be fairly complicated at the negotiation table there,
12:49
Speaker 9: and it's going to continue and go to another level
12:52
Speaker 9: by this out of it.
12:52
Speaker 7: But that is messy. Indeed.
12:55
Speaker 2: If one, you've got an upboat for us this morning, Oh.
12:57
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was well.
12:58
Speaker 9: Construction Championships been sided with McLaren taking it out, albeit
13:02
Speaker 9: some internal bickering between past three and Lando Norris in
13:06
Speaker 9: that regard. But George Russell has won the race for
13:08
Speaker 9: Mercedes extra STARp and second, Liam Lawson fifteenth. But yeah,
13:12
Speaker 9: terrific even on the constructors front. But that's only going
13:14
Speaker 9: to add to the interest now in the actual overall
13:17
Speaker 9: drivers championship between.
13:19
Speaker 7: Those two trying to take it out.
13:21
Speaker 9: I think it was some debate over over passing on
13:24
Speaker 9: a on a on the first lap, et cetera, as
13:27
Speaker 9: the someone sort of given back their advantage. Well, well Norris,
13:31
Speaker 9: Norris was third past three fourth, so I think it's
13:33
Speaker 9: only twenty two points between those two at the top
13:35
Speaker 9: of the standing.
13:36
Speaker 2: So all to drive for brilliants will see that. We'll
13:39
Speaker 2: hear ready to come there you go absolutely. It is
13:42
Speaker 2: twenty three minutes away from five. You're on News Talk
13:44
Speaker 2: CIVB and coming up next. Something that caught my eye,
13:47
Speaker 2: the working that really irked me. It's about protests.
13:50
Speaker 1: Next the Early Edition Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered
13:55
Speaker 1: by News.
13:56
Speaker 2: Talks B Monday morning on News Talks Abit's twenty six
14:00
Speaker 2: minutes after five. Freedom is a thing I think we
14:03
Speaker 2: can all love about living in this country and living
14:05
Speaker 2: in a country like ours. It's democratic and it's pretty liberal.
14:08
Speaker 2: We fight, we protest, we argue, we debate, but unlike
14:12
Speaker 2: most of the rest of the world, we don't get physical.
14:16
Speaker 2: You know, we don't go out and kill each other
14:17
Speaker 2: in the name of our beliefs, we express ourselves and
14:20
Speaker 2: then we try and find a solution. Look around the
14:23
Speaker 2: world section of the newspaper this morning, from the Middle
14:25
Speaker 2: East to Africa, to Europe, to Georgia to parts of America,
14:29
Speaker 2: even your seat places falling apart of the seams, or
14:32
Speaker 2: freedom being crushed into a one thousand tiny pieces. We
14:35
Speaker 2: have in this country, for the most part, standards about
14:39
Speaker 2: how we do things. We have boundaries and that I
14:43
Speaker 2: think was crossed at the weekend protest is taking it
14:47
Speaker 2: too far as they did live streaming from outside the
14:51
Speaker 2: personal home of a member of Parliament, a cabinet minister,
14:56
Speaker 2: their own personal home, where their partner lives, where their children,
15:00
Speaker 2: i'm sure, visit grandchildren, where family friends stop buy for
15:04
Speaker 2: a cup of tea. It's their sanctuary. Everyone who's got
15:07
Speaker 2: a home knows what that feels like. You know, they're
15:10
Speaker 2: family photos on the walls, they've got junk mail in
15:12
Speaker 2: the door. It's someone's home. And some genius thought it
15:16
Speaker 2: would be a great idea to get a mob outside
15:19
Speaker 2: a senior minister's home at the weekend, at nighttime and
15:22
Speaker 2: start yelling. It is not a good idea. It has
15:26
Speaker 2: never been a good idea and it never will be
15:29
Speaker 2: they published his address. You might think you appear harmless
15:34
Speaker 2: with your flags and your balaklavas and you're yelling with
15:37
Speaker 2: your masks on your faces, but not all people outside
15:40
Speaker 2: of politics share this view. You can look scary, intimidating
15:44
Speaker 2: and threatening. So please please carry on protesting. We're all
15:49
Speaker 2: free to do so, but perhaps next time stop and
15:52
Speaker 2: think about how your actions might be affecting people around you,
15:58
Speaker 2: people who aren't in politic or making decisions. And I
16:02
Speaker 2: think actually today you should take a good hard look
16:05
Speaker 2: in the mirror, get a pen in a paper and
16:09
Speaker 2: write a letter to that minister to say sorry. Bryan Bridge,
16:13
Speaker 2: twenty eight minutes after five newsbooks said, but everyone know
16:16
Speaker 2: a guy called Bad Bunny. He's apparently performing at the
16:19
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. I'll play you a bit of music of
16:21
Speaker 2: his in just a second, But this is what he's
16:23
Speaker 2: had to say on SNL Live. He was hosting it
16:26
Speaker 2: at the weekend because Christy Gnome, who's the Homeland Security Secretary.
16:30
Speaker 2: She says, ICE will be there looking for any illegal immigrants.
16:35
Speaker 6: You might not know these, but I'm doing the Super
16:40
Speaker 6: Bowl half done show.
16:46
Speaker 2: And I'm very happy.
16:48
Speaker 6: I'm very happy, and I think everyone is happy about it,
16:54
Speaker 6: even even Fox News that Bunny's.
17:00
Speaker 2: Favorite musician and he should be the next president. Now
17:05
Speaker 2: bad Bunny is thirty one years old and he's a
17:07
Speaker 2: Puerto Rican. As Donald Trump would say, this is a
17:10
Speaker 2: little bit of what he sounds like. For those unfamiliar
17:13
Speaker 2: have listened to his music, No Alec.
17:23
Speaker 5: Jarvis, Alec Dums, Alex Alex.
17:26
Speaker 2: So it's going to be one of those if you're
17:28
Speaker 2: a super Bowl fan this year. Twenty nine minutes after
17:30
Speaker 2: five your Own News Talks The Bet, We'll get to
17:32
Speaker 2: our reporters around the country, Gavin Gray in the UK
17:35
Speaker 2: and young people on the benefits changes coming for you.
17:39
Speaker 2: News Talks Beat.
17:42
Speaker 11: You Set My Heart from the theto.
17:49
Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth
17:51
Speaker 1: analysis Early edition with Ryan Bridge and r V Supercenter
17:56
Speaker 1: explore r v's accessories and servicing all.
17:59
Speaker 12: In one used She's always changing out of work.
18:05
Speaker 2: Good morning, it is coming up two twenty four minutes
18:07
Speaker 2: away from six year old News Talks. They'd be will
18:09
Speaker 2: get to our UK europe correspondent shortly. Lots of protests
18:12
Speaker 2: in London over the weekend and lots of arrests as
18:15
Speaker 2: a result, and also the young people here, the teenagers
18:18
Speaker 2: on the dole getting a bit of a kick up
18:19
Speaker 2: the jaxi by the government. I love this stash between
18:23
Speaker 2: China and the UK over their embassies. Everyone likes to
18:26
Speaker 2: have a flash new embassy these days, and they both
18:29
Speaker 2: want one in each other's respective countries. So China to
18:33
Speaker 2: get its Mega ministry built, which, by the way, I
18:36
Speaker 2: had to look at how much they'd spent on the
18:38
Speaker 2: land alone. The Chinese had spent two hundred and fifty
18:41
Speaker 2: five million pounds for the land alone. It's two hundred
18:45
Speaker 2: and fifteen thousand square feet of land. They can't start
18:50
Speaker 2: construction on their mega embassy yet for planning reasons. As
18:55
Speaker 2: you can imagine, it's England. So what they're doing to
18:58
Speaker 2: try and put the pressure on is turning the taps
19:00
Speaker 2: off at the British embassy in Beijing. So these guys,
19:04
Speaker 2: these British diplomats, are sitting there in apparently freezing cold
19:07
Speaker 2: buildings with no running water some of them, and are
19:10
Speaker 2: even having to use a squash court as temporary officers.
19:15
Speaker 2: So there you go, twenty three minutes away from six
19:18
Speaker 2: Grayan bridge reporters around the country. Colum and Dunedin this morning, Colum,
19:21
Speaker 2: Good morning morning. Right, are you guys lagging behind on voting?
19:26
Speaker 10: Yes?
19:27
Speaker 2: Correct? As of Friday night.
19:28
Speaker 4: In fact, just fifteen point two percent of eligible voters
19:32
Speaker 4: here in Dunedin had cast a ballot. So that's the
19:36
Speaker 4: lowest rate nationwide fifteen point two percent, matched only by
19:39
Speaker 4: Bay of Plenty Regional Council. And it's a sharp drop
19:42
Speaker 4: from what was the final voting numbers from twenty twenty two.
19:45
Speaker 4: Heresn Eden recorded the third highest turnout of any of
19:48
Speaker 4: the metropolitan centers at more than forty eight percent, so.
19:51
Speaker 2: A long way to go to match that.
19:53
Speaker 4: Queenstown Ryan's also trailing behind in the voting the turnout
19:57
Speaker 4: they're sitting at fifteen point three percent so far. Local
20:00
Speaker 4: Government New Zealand NOOS says overall national voting numbers are
20:04
Speaker 4: tracking above the last elections.
20:06
Speaker 2: Right, but still lower than fifty percent by the end
20:09
Speaker 2: of it. How's your where there?
20:12
Speaker 4: Colum starts off fine today late afternoon evening rain northwest
20:17
Speaker 4: is today the high eighteen cheers.
20:18
Speaker 2: Thank you Claire in christ Church. Take Claire, You've got
20:21
Speaker 2: some homelessness news for us this morning.
20:23
Speaker 13: I do indeeds. Look, this is a story of about
20:26
Speaker 13: ten or so people who have been living in some
20:28
Speaker 13: tents and campus and even sheds on the grounds of
20:31
Speaker 13: Avonside Holy Trinity Church car park that's be forced to
20:35
Speaker 13: leave over the weekend following several complaints dating back to
20:38
Speaker 13: last year. Many of the residents, though, have still got
20:40
Speaker 13: nowhere to go and have ended up camping in the
20:43
Speaker 13: city's red zone. Community advocates and council candidate Hailey goo
20:47
Speaker 13: Letter says an abatement order isn't going to solve homelessness,
20:51
Speaker 13: but rather shifts the problem elsewhere. She says pushing people
20:54
Speaker 13: into the red zone is simply not a good outcome.
20:56
Speaker 13: There's a lack of support and infrastructure there. There's also
20:59
Speaker 13: safety issues. She believes there's scope for some transitional housing
21:03
Speaker 13: to be put into the red zone, which could be
21:06
Speaker 13: a longer term solution.
21:08
Speaker 2: All right, how's your weather?
21:10
Speaker 13: Mainly finds and cloud increasing the south afternoon strong south
21:13
Speaker 13: of easterlies, then northeasteries. The high will be sixteen.
21:16
Speaker 2: Thank you? Clear? Hey Max?
21:18
Speaker 10: Good morning?
21:19
Speaker 2: What's the Paeder Jackson up to now?
21:21
Speaker 3: Yeah?
21:22
Speaker 14: Story over the weekend. S Peter Jackson, who of course
21:24
Speaker 14: owns a good deal of property and land on the
21:26
Speaker 14: Mirrormar Peninsula, forcing the closure of the iconic well perhaps
21:30
Speaker 14: Chocolate Fish Cafe operating in Shelley Bay for fifteen years.
21:34
Speaker 14: Owners John and Penny had devastated, but Sir Peter wants
21:37
Speaker 14: to develop that land into something else. The site is
21:40
Speaker 14: the old submarine barracks, the officers mess building that certainly
21:43
Speaker 14: needs a lot of work done before it can be
21:45
Speaker 14: turned into anything else. And perhaps this might be where
21:48
Speaker 14: Wellington's White Well this movie museum may be based. There's
21:52
Speaker 14: a consent for a museum of some sorts new housing,
21:56
Speaker 14: perhaps to soften the blow. The director also announcing plans
21:58
Speaker 14: to build a specialist veterinary hospital in Merrima in the
22:02
Speaker 14: last few days. Certainly looks impressive.
22:04
Speaker 2: This that hospital.
22:05
Speaker 14: We know Sir Peter loves animals, even the extinct ones
22:08
Speaker 14: like them one.
22:09
Speaker 2: So presumably there'll be a cafe somewhere at this new
22:12
Speaker 2: complex right there, So you.
22:13
Speaker 14: Would have to think yeah, But it certainly sounds like
22:16
Speaker 14: the owners this is it for good for them.
22:18
Speaker 2: Okay, how's your weather?
22:21
Speaker 14: Some early drezzil clearing to find this morning, strong winds
22:23
Speaker 14: sixteen the high central Draymax.
22:25
Speaker 2: Thank you, I've written Evers in Auckland. Hey, Neva, good morning, jeez.
22:28
Speaker 2: It's a pretty rough out in the city. Apparently it is.
22:31
Speaker 12: So we've been having a debate about this in the newsroom.
22:34
Speaker 12: So what we're talking about here is that a survey's
22:35
Speaker 12: found ninety one percent of respondents feel Auckland City center
22:40
Speaker 12: rough sleepers, begging, affecting the business. So part of the
22:43
Speaker 12: city surveyed one hundred and two business owners. This is
22:46
Speaker 12: in and around Queen Street. More than seventy percent not
22:50
Speaker 12: satisfied with the standard of Queen Streets cleanliness. They've highlighted
22:54
Speaker 12: concerns about the drug dealing and also people defecating in
22:58
Speaker 12: the street there. What the hell is going on? So
23:01
Speaker 12: viv Beck is the chief executive, obviously these issues are urgent,
23:05
Speaker 12: especially too, you know the city rail link opening next year,
23:08
Speaker 12: We've got the convention Center. My thing was as well,
23:11
Speaker 12: This is what we were talking about in the newsroom,
23:13
Speaker 12: is that I haven't been down Queen Street for years,
23:16
Speaker 12: you know, like I go around the outskirts, you know,
23:19
Speaker 12: Commercial Bay Viaduct. But this is the issue, you know,
23:23
Speaker 12: avoid it like the play do you avoid it?
23:24
Speaker 2: Like the play friend of mine was telling me she
23:26
Speaker 2: studies like architecture, and there's a course that they do
23:30
Speaker 2: on sort of homelessness prevention. So they design seats. For example,
23:34
Speaker 2: they wouldn't design a seat that that was you could
23:37
Speaker 2: could lie on because of homeless They also designed things
23:41
Speaker 2: like putting sprinklers in the roof so that at night
23:44
Speaker 2: time they put the sprinklers on so you wouldn't have
23:46
Speaker 2: homeless people congregating, making them light enough. This is a
23:49
Speaker 2: pound of stuff that they're looking at doing now. Of
23:52
Speaker 2: course that all just moves it down the road, doesn't it.
23:54
Speaker 12: Yeah, well that design it.
23:55
Speaker 2: Mustn't solve the problem. But there you go.
23:57
Speaker 10: They're upset.
23:57
Speaker 2: They're upset. Sound weather today.
24:00
Speaker 12: Clearing in the afternoon, eighteen is a high maybe a
24:02
Speaker 12: good day to walk down Queen Street.
24:04
Speaker 2: That's not neither, thank you, eighteen minutes away from six
24:07

Speaker 2: switch today. Pray and Bridge Rich lots of texts coming
25:13
Speaker 2: in on Auckland CBD. Ryan just listening to the talk
25:17
Speaker 2: and reading an article on safety around the city. This
25:19
Speaker 2: is from heart of the city. Had to go to
25:21
Speaker 2: Auckland Hospital on Friday for a scam. It's exactly the
25:25
Speaker 2: same around the park. This is around Grafton on the
25:28
Speaker 2: roads leading up to the hospital. I know what you're
25:30
Speaker 2: talking about. We were harassed by beggars for money on
25:33
Speaker 2: the walk from the car park, along the way even
25:37
Speaker 2: around the entry to the hospital. And if you ignore
25:40
Speaker 2: them they say things like if you beat, beat beep,
25:44
Speaker 2: I won't repeat. Do they have no shame praying on
25:47
Speaker 2: the sick. It's just appalling. Just need to be banned.
25:50
Speaker 2: It's ruining the city says Craig. We'll talk about that shortly.
25:54
Speaker 2: It's now fourteen away from.
25:56
Speaker 1: Six international correspondence with ends and insurance, peace of mind
26:01
Speaker 1: for New Zealand business.
26:04
Speaker 2: Kevin Gray with us give another week in another huge protest,
26:07
Speaker 2: another fewerists.
26:09
Speaker 15: Indeed, right. So these are again almost five hundred people
26:13
Speaker 15: now who have been arrested in London for supporting Palestine Action.
26:18
Speaker 15: It is a prescribed terrorist group and supporting a terrorist
26:21
Speaker 15: group like this can make you end up in prison.
26:25
Speaker 15: The reason this has been different this weekend and garnered
26:28
Speaker 15: headlines is because so many senior politicians and indeed police
26:32
Speaker 15: officers had said please do not protest this weekend in
26:36
Speaker 15: support of Palestine. Because of the sensitivity around the UK
26:41
Speaker 15: following the attack on the synagogue, in Manchester at the
26:44
Speaker 15: end of last week, in which two were killed and
26:48
Speaker 15: the assailant, of course, was gone down by police as
26:51
Speaker 15: the man attempted to crash into with a car and
26:55
Speaker 15: then stab those attending a synagogue on the most holy
26:58
Speaker 15: day in the Jewish calendar. However, the protesters took no notice.
27:02
Speaker 15: They were out in force. More than a thousand of
27:04
Speaker 15: them sat silently and around the center of London. The
27:09
Speaker 15: police have arrested four hundred and ninety two. I think
27:12
Speaker 15: that figure is going to rise, and many police saying, look,
27:15
Speaker 15: we just can't do everything. We cannot give the synagogues
27:18
Speaker 15: more security and also have to constantly arrest all these
27:23
Speaker 15: people in London. So it looks like the government's changing
27:26
Speaker 15: legislation to allow officers to take into account the cumulative
27:30
Speaker 15: effect of protest after protest after protests, and may even
27:35
Speaker 15: be able to order those protests to say no, you
27:37
Speaker 15: can't come to London, You've got to go elsewhere to
27:39
Speaker 15: make your voice hurt.
27:40
Speaker 2: In terms of the Tierra Tech itself, are we likely
27:43
Speaker 2: to see any protests against the Muslim Are you saying
27:46
Speaker 2: against the Muslim community there?
27:48
Speaker 3: Well?
27:48
Speaker 15: There was as well another protest which is a counter
27:52
Speaker 15: protest to the one that I've just talked about, So
27:55
Speaker 15: there is that aspect of it. In the meantime, three
27:57
Speaker 15: remain in hospital following that attack. We now know of
28:01
Speaker 15: the identities of the two that died, and indeed the
28:04
Speaker 15: assailant himself and police counter terrorism Police granted warrants giving
28:10
Speaker 15: extra time to question four people arrested on suspicion of
28:13
Speaker 15: preparing terrorist ACKs following that attack on Thursday.
28:17
Speaker 2: All right, Kevin Gray are UK europe correspondent, appreciate your time.
28:20
Speaker 2: Eleven minutes away from six Ryan, Government's tracking down on
28:23
Speaker 2: youth beneficiaries. It's brought forth changes that mean from next
28:27
Speaker 2: November eighteen to nineteen year olds won't get the dole
28:30
Speaker 2: if their parents earn more than sixty five thousand dollars.
28:34
Speaker 2: There's also a new one thousand dollar bonus if they
28:37
Speaker 2: stay off the benefit for a year through the Community
28:40
Speaker 2: Job Service. Fellow Riley, former welfare expert at Welfare Advisory
28:43
Speaker 2: Expert Group member, joins me. Now, Hi, Phil, morning, Ryan.
28:47
Speaker 2: Why do you think they've brought it forward.
28:50
Speaker 10: Or probably to demonstrate to the electorate coming into a
28:53
Speaker 10: title election that they're under control on this. I suspect
28:56
Speaker 10: also the budgetary situation is driving them of it, and
29:01
Speaker 10: I think they want to demonstrate action, so fair enough,
29:03
Speaker 10: that's politics.
29:04
Speaker 2: Bo does it work.
29:07
Speaker 10: I think the carrot and stick approach is a good idea,
29:09
Speaker 10: and certainly I think the public will support the idea
29:12
Speaker 10: that if you're sitting with your parents and they're earning
29:14
Speaker 10: some money, you shouldn't be you shouldn't be taking money
29:16
Speaker 10: from the state. You should primarily focus on that parental support.
29:21
Speaker 10: And I think that's probably sensible and hopefully it will
29:24
Speaker 10: lead to more young people getting a job. The carrot
29:27
Speaker 10: at the end of it, the thousand bucks are for
29:29
Speaker 10: a year that was announced yesterday. Once again, I think
29:32
Speaker 10: in principle that's a good idea, although I suspect the
29:34
Speaker 10: scheme design may not actually be quite as helpful as
29:37
Speaker 10: it otherwise might be. The international evidence around this is
29:40
Speaker 10: that if you've been in a job for about six months,
29:42
Speaker 10: you tend to be sticky in that job. That's the
29:44
Speaker 10: international evidence. So you probably would have structured a payment
29:47
Speaker 10: if I was the minister at about six months rather
29:50
Speaker 10: than twelve, because just put yourself in the feet of
29:53
Speaker 10: that young person, A year is a long time that
29:55
Speaker 10: the young person's life. Well, though clearly a thousand bucks
29:57
Speaker 10: is are fair, but a money for a young person
29:59
Speaker 10: as well. The question is whether it will actually work that,
30:02
Speaker 10: whether the year is just too long so that quite
30:05
Speaker 10: big character play out. Maybe six months would have been better,
30:07
Speaker 10: But you know that's just a scheme design issue, and
30:09
Speaker 10: we'll see how it practically works out.
30:11
Speaker 2: Currently, fifteen thy eighteen to nineteen year olds on the
30:14
Speaker 2: doll do we know how many of them have parents
30:17
Speaker 2: earning less than sixty five thousand dollars a year. I
30:19
Speaker 2: guess it's the question.
30:21
Speaker 10: Well, it'll just be probably affection a function of the
30:26
Speaker 10: population if you like. But bear in mind those people
30:28
Speaker 10: on sixty five grand or that lower end of the
30:32
Speaker 10: spectrum will often tend to be on government support themselves.
30:35
Speaker 10: They might be on a family benefit, they might be
30:37
Speaker 10: on some sort of hardship allowance already, so that there
30:40
Speaker 10: will be a complex interplayer that will let that lower
30:42
Speaker 10: end of how much government support both the parents will
30:45
Speaker 10: get or the sole parent potentially and the young person
30:49
Speaker 10: will get. So you know, that's all would be played out.
30:51
Speaker 2: I think we'll appreciate your time this one. We've got
30:53
Speaker 2: I rany form a Welfare Expert Advisor Group member time
30:56
Speaker 2: is nine to six new stalks.
30:58
Speaker 1: They'd be the word on the News of the day
31:01
Speaker 1: Early edition with Ryan Bridge and r V SuperStor explore
31:06
Speaker 1: r v's accessories and servicing all in one news Talks
31:09
Speaker 1: at be just.
31:10
Speaker 2: Gone six minutes away from six. Megan Markle made a
31:13
Speaker 2: surprise appearance at the Paris Fashion Week over the weekend.
31:16
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw this, wearing a white
31:18
Speaker 2: bed sheet that was wrapped several times around her and
31:22
Speaker 2: went to a Balenciaga show. There you go, Fantastic news
31:25
Speaker 2: net Yahoo. I think we mentioned him earlier in the show.
31:28
Speaker 2: But he says should be in the next day or two,
31:31
Speaker 2: not that the hostages will be released, but that he
31:34
Speaker 2: might be able to announce something to do with the hostages.
31:37
Speaker 2: Her Mass, for its part, will be disarmed in Gaza
31:42
Speaker 2: and they'll be demilitarized. This is according to Netanyahu and Trump. However,
31:47
Speaker 2: her Mass is so far agreed to the hostage thing,
31:50
Speaker 2: but they have made no mention of the disarmament, no
31:53
Speaker 2: mention of negotiations on the other points. So still clearly
31:57
Speaker 2: some water to go under the bridge there. Mike in
32:01
Speaker 2: the studio now for your Monday morning. Good morning, my
32:03
Speaker 2: greeting's Ryan. Been to the city, lady to the CBD.
32:05
Speaker 11: I don't go to the city. I've said that many
32:07
Speaker 11: many times. I go in every third Thursday to the
32:10
Speaker 11: edge of the city for a haircut. But it's not downtown.
32:12
Speaker 11: It's not a green, dark downtown. It's not mean dark downtown.
32:16
Speaker 2: I thought it had gotten a bit better. You know,
32:17
Speaker 2: we have told you that. Mitchell told us that has
32:21
Speaker 2: drops on the beat and sort of at five percent
32:23
Speaker 2: increase and profile that sort of thing, but clearly it
32:27
Speaker 2: hasn't done it.
32:27
Speaker 6: Well.
32:28
Speaker 11: No, you're talking about a mood though, And so if
32:30
Speaker 11: I go to you and go, how does it feel?
32:32
Speaker 11: So cops will give your stats.
32:33
Speaker 2: They'll say we.
32:34
Speaker 11: Gave you X number of arrests and there are why
32:36
Speaker 11: number of people sleeping rough But if you go to
32:39
Speaker 11: a local retailer and go does it feel good? Then
32:42
Speaker 11: that's a completely different vibe, isn't it. I mean they
32:44
Speaker 11: got a major turnaround.
32:45
Speaker 10: Hey.
32:45
Speaker 11: By the way, have you ever had employment troubles? Have
32:47
Speaker 11: you ever been in some sort of employment issue with
32:49
Speaker 11: your employers and they don't like you or you don't
32:52
Speaker 11: like them, or you're leaving or whatever.
32:54
Speaker 2: I've always thought if I wasn't wanted somewhere, I wouldn't
32:57
Speaker 2: want to be there.
32:58
Speaker 11: Very good attitude. So how many meetings? So I'm thinking
33:01
Speaker 11: about knowles, Oh yeah, how many meetings do you need
33:07
Speaker 11: to have? And for how long do those meetings need
33:10
Speaker 11: to go before somebody somewhere goes?
33:12
Speaker 2: You know what this is?
33:13
Speaker 11: Clearly isn't working a past or or well given to
33:17

33:19
Speaker 11: do exos it.
33:20
Speaker 2: Obviously there's a key small group of key players who
33:23
Speaker 2: are just not budget.
33:25
Speaker 11: So that's that's the point. What I'm saying is so
33:27
Speaker 11: you know what the problem is.
33:28
Speaker 2: So that's that.
33:29
Speaker 11: So as a leader, as a person who's running something,
33:31
Speaker 11: you know what the problem is. You know that there's
33:33
Speaker 11: your problem and there's your coach. So what are you
33:36
Speaker 11: going to do about it? You're going to be a
33:37
Speaker 11: leader or are you going to make a decision? Or
33:38
Speaker 11: you're going to have yet more meetings? And how many
33:40
Speaker 11: mores are you going to have? They're going to the er, now,
33:42
Speaker 11: aren't they? That's going to be useful, isn't it.

33:51
Speaker 2: law that you have to be you know. That's why

33:56
Speaker 8: You make it.
33:57
Speaker 2: Look either, what's the.
33:58
