- 1:29Speaker 4: used to try to encourage and engage and force her
- 1:32Speaker 4: to involve herself in the so called freakot.
- 1:36Speaker 2: Right, we've got the Philippines midterm elections. Early results are in.
- 1:39Speaker 2: This is the race that's dominated by two dynasties, essentially
- 1:44Speaker 2: the Senate racist candidates backed by President Ferdinand Marcus Junior
- 1:48Speaker 2: against those supported by Vice President Sarah Deturte that's Rodrigo's daughter.
- 1:53Speaker 2: If Marcus is a Senate wins more seats, it increases
- 1:56Speaker 2: his chances of impeaching Dette for alleged misuse of state funds.
- 2:02Speaker 5: Everybody here and right across the country is voting for
- 2:04Speaker 5: those senators. They are the ones who get to vote
- 2:08Speaker 5: on the impeachment later this year, they will decide the
- 2:11Speaker 5: fate of the Vice president if she's impeached, she'll be
- 2:15Speaker 5: banned for running from running for president, banned from public office.
- 2:18Speaker 5: In a way, how political career will be over?
- 2:21Speaker 2: Eight after five, That was your agenda on.
- 2:23Speaker 1: Your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition with Ryan
- 2:28Speaker 1: Bridge and One Roof to make your property search simple.
- 2:32Speaker 2: You talk said they Now everybody knows we send a
- 2:35Speaker 2: lot of goods up to Asia and China in particular,
- 2:38Speaker 2: so this one is important for us. It is good
- 2:41Speaker 2: news this morning. A deal between the US and China
- 2:44Speaker 2: best and when I met with China and Geneva again,
- 2:48Speaker 2: it's not a free trade deal. It's a bit like
- 2:50Speaker 2: the UK, not a free trade deal, not even an
- 2:52Speaker 2: economic deal like with the UK. Really, it's more of
- 2:56Speaker 2: a ceasefire, a ninety day pause from Wednesday. So the
- 2:59Speaker 2: UI this is going to cut tariffs on China from
- 3:01Speaker 2: one hundred and forty five percent down to thirty percent.
- 3:04Speaker 2: China in turn will cut these from one hundred and
- 3:06Speaker 2: twenty five percent down to ten percent. I mean talk
- 3:10Speaker 2: about a back down of walk away. Scott Veson says,
- 3:12Speaker 2: both sides wanted this, but the question is which side
- 3:16Speaker 2: needed it more.
- 3:17Speaker 6: I have seen what's going on in the Chinese economy,
- 3:21Speaker 6: we can see what's going on with the shipments to
- 3:24Speaker 6: the US. And again if we are the deficit country,
- 3:29Speaker 6: historically the deficit country has a better negotiating position and.
- 3:34Speaker 2: The negotiations will have to continue. So over the next
- 3:37Speaker 2: ninety days though that, you know, the devil will be
- 3:39Speaker 2: in the detail. This is just a cease fire, it's
- 3:41Speaker 2: not a peace deal. So we'll find out over the
- 3:43Speaker 2: next couple of months what's happening with that. Markets obviously
- 3:46Speaker 2: like this, especially the tech stocks. They are up, the
- 3:48Speaker 2: NASDAC up three point three percent, the SMP, the Dow
- 3:51Speaker 2: two and a half percent of early trading, and a
- 3:54Speaker 2: lot of this was already priced in. You know, the
- 3:56Speaker 2: markets were expecting that he was doing you know, now
- 3:59Speaker 2: that he started to do deals, they realized the whole
- 4:01Speaker 2: thing was pretty much just a big, a big bluff
- 4:04Speaker 2: to get to get better deals out of the likes
- 4:08Speaker 2: of the UK, which he's got out of the likes
- 4:11Speaker 2: of China. So we'll see where they land. But yeah,
- 4:14Speaker 2: a lot of the are already priced in. Recovered losses
- 4:16Speaker 2: from liberation, Dame Gold, the old safe haven down but
- 4:20Speaker 2: still high. The mid April high was three and a
- 4:22Speaker 2: half thousand dollars now it's three two hundred and fifteen,
- 4:27Speaker 2: and of course the dollar, the US dollars shot up,
- 4:29Speaker 2: so it's it's you know, our dollars down, Yen's down,
- 4:33Speaker 2: all that stuff. News Talks wud be just gone eleven
- 4:35Speaker 2: minutes after five, coming up next the paorn issue on
- 4:38Speaker 2: the work computer and given MCS skimming.
- 4:42Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge on early edition with one room make your
- 4:46Speaker 1: Property search simple.
- 4:48Speaker 2: Used talk ZIDB thirteen after five. News Talks had been
- 4:51Speaker 2: the vitriol over because the Nicola Willis thing and the
- 4:54Speaker 2: C word in a stuff publication the other day over
- 4:58Speaker 2: the weekend. Well, now, now the Labor Party is sort
- 5:02Speaker 2: of involved in all of this, so this is after
- 5:04Speaker 2: the paparaity thing. They're obviously a big is shoess, obviously
- 5:07Speaker 2: got people rolled up. But you can't be going in
- 5:09Speaker 2: comparing Brooke van Velden to a Nazi, which is what
- 5:13Speaker 2: the Labor Party has done on their social media, completely inappropriate,
- 5:18Speaker 2: says Chris Heipkins. We can say that again. So this
- 5:21Speaker 2: was a particular branch of the Labor Party posted on
- 5:24Speaker 2: their page on Wednesday showing a fake image of Brooke
- 5:27Speaker 2: van Velden. I've obviously gone chucked at in AI a
- 5:31Speaker 2: photo of Brook van Velden wearing a military uniform next
- 5:35Speaker 2: to a Nazi banner. Fourteen after five, Brian, Well, we've
- 5:40Speaker 2: got more on this resignation of the Deputy Police Commissioner
- 5:43Speaker 2: Devin Mcskimming. Sources have told The Herald that he quit
- 5:46Speaker 2: after pawn was found on his work computer. This is
- 5:49Speaker 2: before basically he could be pushed. Lance Burdette is author
- 5:53Speaker 2: and former police officer with us this morning. Lance, good morning.
- 5:57Speaker 2: Are you shocked to hear that? Surprise to hear that?
- 6:00Speaker 3: I am very shocked. I don't know given that well,
- 6:03Speaker 3: but I know of him. He was a high flyer,
- 6:07Speaker 3: a person that was very determined out of nowhere. You know,
- 6:12Speaker 3: You've got to remember that it's not the accessing of
- 6:15Speaker 3: the pornography or having it, it's that it's on a
- 6:18Speaker 3: police computer. And it's common knowledge that you know, viruses
- 6:22Speaker 3: and malware into computers from all sorts of unethical sites
- 6:26Speaker 3: where its gambling, gaming or restricted websites, and to be
- 6:30Speaker 3: doing that on a police computer is beyond me.
- 6:34Speaker 2: Yeah, this is alleged at this stage obviously, but when confronted,
- 6:38Speaker 2: when confronted with what the herald is reporting is the
- 6:42Speaker 2: cause of this. He resigns. So then yeah, now the
- 6:46Speaker 2: criminal charge. The interesting thing for me is that you've got,
- 6:49Speaker 2: you know, allegedly poorn on a work computer, but then
- 6:52Speaker 2: you've got a separate criminal investigation going on, and yet
- 6:56Speaker 2: you know you keep your job during that.
- 7:00Speaker 3: Well, yeah, because they're obviously it's like any criminal investigation.
- 7:05Speaker 3: The idea is to get all the evidence there first,
- 7:08Speaker 3: and then you speak with the person what they call
- 7:11Speaker 3: him personal interest. I've never seen this before. I've never
- 7:17Speaker 3: It's none in my career and never happened in I
- 7:19Speaker 3: think my living memory where a senior police officer has
- 7:24Speaker 3: ever done anything like this and then having been removed
- 7:28Speaker 3: or they're resigned before the investigations. That's employment investigation. But
- 7:32Speaker 3: now with this criminal investigation, I've never heard of it,
- 7:37Speaker 3: and I find it quite astounding, to be honest, and
- 7:39Speaker 3: I'm wondering what's behind it all? And like everybody else,
- 7:43Speaker 3: do you figure out what it is?
- 7:44Speaker 2: Do you think this is casting a long shadow over
- 7:47Speaker 2: the police? Do you think that the minister or the
- 7:50Speaker 2: commissioner should be more upfront about actually what's I mean?
- 7:53Speaker 2: Obviously the criminal part, you can't talk about I get that,
- 7:55Speaker 2: but for the rest of it now, I mean he's
- 7:57Speaker 2: left the building. Who can't just say what happened.
- 8:01Speaker 3: Unlessed up. Both linked and so there we have to be.
- 8:05Speaker 3: But you know the thing about I know the Commissioner
- 8:09Speaker 3: and also know the minister. They both have strong moral
- 8:12Speaker 3: and ethical codes and you've seen this with the with
- 8:15Speaker 3: the latest saga around the swim tests. So they both
- 8:19Speaker 3: are ensuring that police officers and police officers have to
- 8:23Speaker 3: be beyond approach. The higher they go up, the more
- 8:27Speaker 3: the higher expectation of them. And you know, as I say,
- 8:30Speaker 3: to get to me in the second top job and
- 8:34Speaker 3: then to have this happen to a person as I've
- 8:37Speaker 3: never seen it before. I can't even think in overseas
- 8:39Speaker 3: jurisdictions where it's happened before. So yeah, they do have
- 8:42Speaker 3: to wait now for the rest of the investigation to
- 8:45Speaker 3: go through. He's no longer a police officer, and it
- 8:49Speaker 3: does tarnish the rest of the service. But know that
- 8:54Speaker 3: I used to investigate police officers. We are tougher on
- 8:58Speaker 3: our own.
- 9:00Speaker 2: Greshout your time. Thanks for that, lancebur author and form
- 9:02Speaker 2: police officer on Jevin mcsginning this morning, just gone. Seventeen
- 9:05Speaker 2: minutes after five. Wayne Brown has a new manifesto for Auckland,
- 9:09Speaker 2: but it affects well the whole country if he has
- 9:11Speaker 2: his way. Simon Bridges on that next the news.
- 9:14Speaker 1: You need this morning and the in depth analysis early
- 9:17Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and One Room make your Property
- 9:20Speaker 1: search simple, news talks.
- 9:22Speaker 2: It'd be good morning. It's nineteen minutes after five. We're
- 9:25Speaker 2: going to get to Donal Tomyow in Australia after the news.
- 9:27Speaker 2: Right now, Wayne Brown and Auckland has refreshed his magnificent
- 9:31Speaker 2: manifesto for Auckland. He says work with the government's been
- 9:35Speaker 2: mostly good, but he wants the bed tax. He's like
- 9:37Speaker 2: a broken record with the bed tax and the visa
- 9:41Speaker 2: waivers for China for Brazil. He reckons these can help
- 9:44Speaker 2: turbocharge growth Auckland and in turn save the entire country.
- 9:48Speaker 2: Simon Bridges the Auckland Business Chamber of CEO of me
- 9:51Speaker 2: this morning, Simon, good morning, Aye morning, Ryan.
- 9:53Speaker 7: Yes, what a magnificent manifesto. Indeed, I just wanted to
- 9:57Speaker 7: say that escause I like the yeah, I like the
- 9:59Speaker 7: way I rolled off the.
- 10:00Speaker 2: We'll get you into a second. But this China us
- 10:02Speaker 2: well it's not a deal, but at least it's a pause.
- 10:05Speaker 2: Has got to be a good thing for us, right.
- 10:07Speaker 7: Ah yeah, good news indeed, hallelujah. I mean, well, as
- 10:10Speaker 7: you say, none of us are naive, but I think
- 10:14Speaker 7: those two you know, country is really the biggest superpowers.
- 10:18Speaker 7: You get argue into you as well, but in the world,
- 10:21Speaker 7: we need things to be sort of predictable, certain and
- 10:25Speaker 7: you know, at a level as much as it can
- 10:27Speaker 7: be harmonious for the world of global economy.
- 10:30Speaker 2: And so yeah, good news.
- 10:31Speaker 7: We'll see how it all goes. But good news so far.
- 10:33Speaker 2: Now, Wayne Brown and the he wants the visas, the
- 10:37Speaker 2: visa waivers, and you've spoken about this before for China
- 10:40Speaker 2: and for Brazil. And I'm assuming the reason that the
- 10:43Speaker 2: government's not moving on the stuff is because they're worried
- 10:45Speaker 2: about overstayers.
- 10:47Speaker 7: Well, if they are, it seems a strange concern to me.
- 10:50Speaker 7: I mean, you know, I think that Wayne Brown is right.
- 10:56Speaker 7: My point be this, I don't see a single public
- 10:59Speaker 7: policy reason not to do this. Now, you could argue
- 11:02Speaker 7: with some other Southeast Asian countries, overstaying I think probably
- 11:06Speaker 7: would be in other countries a really significant issue that
- 11:09Speaker 7: they're frankly poor, less developed countries. It's not the China today.
- 11:14Speaker 7: You know, you go to those cities and they're more advanced,
- 11:18Speaker 7: more developed than New Zealand. And you know what we
- 11:22Speaker 7: would see is I think a real sugar hit the
- 11:23Speaker 7: economy if you had some kind of reciprocal visa right,
- 11:26Speaker 7: that is, you know, no visa for a period of time.
- 11:29Speaker 7: If the government was really worried about that issue. You're
- 11:31Speaker 7: mentioning there are things they could do, right What they
- 11:33Speaker 7: could actually do is say, you know what, it's only
- 11:35Speaker 7: got to be for those who fail at the front
- 11:38Speaker 7: of the plane.
- 11:39Speaker 2: That would still be a sugar hit.
- 11:40Speaker 7: And right now, I think I've said before on zre'd
- 11:43Speaker 7: be beggars, can't be choosers. So I cannot see a
- 11:46Speaker 7: reason not to do it. I'm totally with Wayne Brown
- 11:50Speaker 7: on this, and I just say that, you know, even
- 11:52Speaker 7: some of your colleagues when you're there saying how amazing
- 11:55Speaker 7: Erica Stanford is, she hasn't moved on this as she should.
- 11:59Speaker 2: Yep, know fair enough to I happen to agree with you,
- 12:02Speaker 2: what about the bad tax because he's harping on about this,
- 12:05Speaker 2: but it's not going to happen because I well, it
- 12:07Speaker 2: probably needs a rebrand. They should take the word tax
- 12:09Speaker 2: out of it, for ste exactly. You know, that's the problem.
- 12:13Speaker 7: I think that's the issue. Look, I'm not saying this
- 12:15Speaker 7: is sort of weazelways, right. I'm agnostic whether it's actually
- 12:19Speaker 7: a quote bad tax, right, But I think the issue
- 12:23Speaker 7: that Wayne's talking about is right for Auckland, and therefore,
- 12:26Speaker 7: you know, I think for New.
- 12:27Speaker 2: Zealand the government does need to do something.
- 12:30Speaker 7: I mean going me give you my sort of maybe
- 12:32Speaker 7: slightly self serving perspective, but I was Minister of Economic
- 12:35Speaker 7: Development in the last days of the Key slash English government.
- 12:39Speaker 7: We get a steady pipeline of major events for the
- 12:42Speaker 7: likes of Auckland that there's just no pipeline again. That's
- 12:47Speaker 7: in the end, that's a fun thing, right, So.
- 12:49Speaker 2: We need something again it but politically to get it
- 12:52Speaker 2: across the line? Is there any way you can just
- 12:54Speaker 2: charge foreigners the bad tax?
- 12:56Speaker 7: You know?
- 12:57Speaker 2: Like that. That's the problem for the central government, isn't
- 12:59Speaker 2: it They I don't want to introduce another tax that's
- 13:01Speaker 2: going to hurt Key with you. So we're coming from
- 13:02Speaker 2: christ it's for a concert at Eden Park.
- 13:06Speaker 7: My simple point would be, look, okay, so you don't
- 13:09Speaker 7: like my senses, and I'm not close to the internal
- 13:13Speaker 7: politics within the coalition on this. My sense is your
- 13:16Speaker 7: first point was the right one, which is in the
- 13:18Speaker 7: end I think they said no new Texas. This says
- 13:22Speaker 7: texts and so that's the sort of issue. Well, look,
- 13:24Speaker 7: the question is not text it's funding, right if they
- 13:26Speaker 7: want to do it through some other mechanism. But in
- 13:28Speaker 7: the end, both central and local government are failing Auckland
- 13:32Speaker 7: when it comes to major events and activations that you
- 13:35Speaker 7: need for tourists, that you need for people coming in,
- 13:37Speaker 7: but you also just need if you want a dynamic,
- 13:39Speaker 7: exciting city that our kids want to stay in and
- 13:42Speaker 7: work in, right rather than bugger off to Sydney in London.
- 13:45Speaker 2: If you want excitement in Auckland, you just read Wayne
- 13:48Speaker 2: Brown's manifesto. Simon, thank you for that. Simon Bridges, Auckland
- 13:51Speaker 2: Chamber of CEO with us this morning. Twenty four minutes
- 13:53Speaker 2: alfter five, News Talk said be the early edition.
- 13:56Speaker 1: Full the show podcast on Ihart Radio. How if they News.
- 14:00Speaker 2: Talks AB News TALKSB twenty six minutes after five, if
- 14:05Speaker 2: what they're saying about Flick Electric shutting up shop is true,
- 14:08Speaker 2: and I've got no reason to doubt it. Then, sadly
- 14:11Speaker 2: it should come as no surprise to us. This is
- 14:13Speaker 2: a business desk report. Flickers owned by z So far
- 14:18Speaker 2: they're not saying anything, but it's one of the smaller
- 14:20Speaker 2: retailers they help keep the bigger gen Taylors hon us
- 14:23Speaker 2: the forty thousand customers does Flick have well had potentially,
- 14:28Speaker 2: but the cracks started showing ages ago, like winter twenty
- 14:33Speaker 2: twenty one, they closed their books to new customers. The
- 14:37Speaker 2: great wholesale price crunch hit them hard and last year
- 14:41Speaker 2: again wholesale prices shot up above retail and you can't
- 14:44Speaker 2: run a business like that. We were warned then about
- 14:48Speaker 2: what is happening now. It means the little guys basically
- 14:51Speaker 2: can't hold on. The problem for them is hedging. This
- 14:54Speaker 2: is their big problem. They can't afford the cost of
- 14:58Speaker 2: hedging during a crunch for new customers, and that means
- 15:02Speaker 2: least choice for us, and we know what that typically
- 15:04Speaker 2: does to prices. And unlike Air New Zealand and the
- 15:07Speaker 2: regional airfares debate in the past week, there is in
- 15:12Speaker 2: this situation a quick fix for the problem. At least
- 15:15Speaker 2: a partial one. And guess what. The government announced such
- 15:20Speaker 2: a fix too much fanfare. In February. They said that
- 15:23Speaker 2: the big Gen tailors would no longer be allowed to
- 15:25Speaker 2: offer sweetheart deals to their own lot. Transparency about these
- 15:30Speaker 2: deals would be forced upon them. We had the Minister
- 15:32Speaker 2: on at the time. Now, the Generator part has been
- 15:37Speaker 2: favoring the Taylor part, but not the other smaller players,
- 15:42Speaker 2: so they were going to do something about it. The
- 15:44Speaker 2: odds are basically stacked against Flick and the little guys
- 15:48Speaker 2: and out Flix the lights. So we've known about this
- 15:51Speaker 2: unfairness since at least twenty twenty one for Flick, and
- 15:56Speaker 2: we've had belatedly an announcement that something might change, but
- 15:59Speaker 2: years later, no real change, and another retailer bites the
- 16:03Speaker 2: dust forty thousand customers off to you guessed at Meridian
- 16:07Speaker 2: one of the big Gen tailor's losing Flick, if true,
- 16:10Speaker 2: is another sign that winter is coming, and I can't
- 16:14Speaker 2: see anybody in much of a hurry to do much
- 16:16Speaker 2: of anything about it.
- 16:19Speaker 1: Bryan Bridge Ay.
- 16:20Speaker 2: Minutes after five, y're on news Talk, sa'd be We're
- 16:22Speaker 2: going to talk about the Maths situation. This is coming
- 16:26Speaker 2: up to six o'clock, We're going to talk to a
- 16:28Speaker 2: principle out of upper Heart because to me, what happened
- 16:32Speaker 2: yesterday with Erica Stanford and the one hundred million dollars,
- 16:34Speaker 2: which is twenty five million a year over four years,
- 16:37Speaker 2: to me, looked like not politics, but want a minister
- 16:42Speaker 2: who's wanting genuine change, not something that will yield results
- 16:48Speaker 2: for her at the next election, but something that will
- 16:51Speaker 2: yield results in maybe ten years. You're talking about primary
- 16:55Speaker 2: school kids, first two years of primary school in particular,
- 16:59Speaker 2: so what's not to love about that? Really, we'll talk
- 17:02Speaker 2: to a principal who doesn't have a lot of love.
- 17:05Speaker 2: After the news and just before six here on News

- 17:53Speaker 2: your company. We'll get to Erica Stamford and new Math
- 17:56Speaker 2: changes just before six also a child Keay company in
- 17:59Speaker 2: Australia and really really hot and deep water will tell
- 18:03Speaker 2: you why with Donald Mayo. She's with us just in
- 18:06Speaker 2: a few minutes time now twenty four minutes away from
- 18:09Speaker 2: in the UK. Keir Starmer is crowing this morning, but
- 18:13Speaker 2: considering himself a bit of a borders are I think
- 18:15Speaker 2: we can make that analogy. He's cracking down on legal
- 18:19Speaker 2: immigration with a wait for it, wait for it, with
- 18:22Speaker 2: a white paper.
- 18:24Speaker 10: Today we publish a white paper on immigration, a strategy
- 18:29Speaker 10: absolutely central to my plan for change that will finally
- 18:35Speaker 10: take back control of our borders.
- 18:38Speaker 2: Now, why is he doing this. It's the Farage effect
- 18:40Speaker 2: in full swing. Of course, we'll get to that in
- 18:41Speaker 2: just a second. But here's what he has said. He'll
- 18:44Speaker 2: cut legal immigration by one hundred thousand by twenty twenty nine.
- 18:49Speaker 2: Currently there's about eight hundred thousand net per anum, so
- 18:51Speaker 2: it is significant. He's going to scrap a visa that
- 18:54Speaker 2: boris brought in. This is the opposite of what we're doing.
- 18:57Speaker 2: Scrap a visa that boris brought in, so you can't
- 19:01Speaker 2: hire doctors and nurses, care workers, from overseas anymore. The
- 19:06Speaker 2: jobs must go to a brit first employers and this
- 19:10Speaker 2: will be interesting for any key we wanted to go
- 19:12Speaker 2: on an OE. Employers will have to pay more to
- 19:15Speaker 2: hire foreign staff. And he says, this is not about
- 19:19Speaker 2: Nigel Farras, but of course it's about Feras. The reformers
- 19:21Speaker 2: cleaned up from the local elections there obviously you know
- 19:25Speaker 2: immigration is what drives their support. And here's the latest
- 19:28Speaker 2: IPSOS poll out in the last twenty four hours from
- 19:31Speaker 2: the UK More Brits now think that Reform is the
- 19:35Speaker 2: main opposition party, not the Conservatives. Imagine that happening to
- 19:39Speaker 2: the National Party. Here people saying I know actors, you
- 19:42Speaker 2: know act as the government, not National and who has
- 19:47Speaker 2: a good plan for changing Britain. Here are the results.
- 19:50Speaker 2: Reform thirty seven percent, Labor thirty two percent, Conservatives twenty
- 19:55Speaker 2: four percent. So you can see why Labor and Starmer
- 19:59Speaker 2: are throwing white papers on immigration faster than you can blink.
- 20:04Speaker 2: And that is of course the issue that's driving reforms search.
- 20:07Speaker 2: So yeah, also Starma's disapproval numbers are nearing Liz trust territory.
- 20:12Speaker 2: I think the Bristles are just unhappy generally, aren't they
- 20:15Speaker 2: twenty one away from six reporters around the country. Collen
- 20:19Speaker 2: Proctor and Dunedan Cullen. Good morning. This missing English tramper
- 20:24Speaker 2: in Milford's sound. What's happening with the search?
- 20:27Speaker 11: Well, look, police have advised pausing the search for now.
- 20:30Speaker 11: This is for twenty five year old Eli Sweeting, who
- 20:33Speaker 11: failed to return from a day trip to Mita Peak
- 20:37Speaker 11: a Sunday week ago.
- 20:38Speaker 2: So that's nine days now.
- 20:39Speaker 11: They have carried out extensive searches of the area and
- 20:44Speaker 11: what is dangerous and challenging terrain.
- 20:46Speaker 2: Over that time.
- 20:48Speaker 11: Two helicopters have also been used with thermal imagery and
- 20:51Speaker 11: a drone look. They say no pausing the search is
- 20:55Speaker 11: difficult news for the family, but they will remain in
- 20:57Speaker 11: frequent contact with them. Impus family has traveled here now
- 21:01Speaker 11: to assist with the search and they describe him as
- 21:03Speaker 11: a passionate adventurer and an experienced climber.
- 21:07Speaker 2: And how's your weather today, callum?
- 21:09Speaker 11: Some showers later this morning, but clearing to find this
- 21:11Speaker 11: afternoon south westeries and seventeen today.
- 21:14Speaker 2: Nice one, Thank you clears than the christ Church clear
- 21:16Speaker 2: good morning, good morning now the Christ Church Cathedral they'll
- 21:19Speaker 2: be lining up to visit.
- 21:21Speaker 12: Well apparently all that's certainly the hope of the Restoration Trust.
- 21:25Speaker 12: The historic landmark, of course, has been severely damaged in
- 21:28Speaker 12: our CBD since the twenty eleven earthquakes. We know that
- 21:31Speaker 12: repairs began five years ago, but they have been put
- 21:34Speaker 12: on hold indefinitely because of a lack of money. They've
- 21:37Speaker 12: now been opening it to the public sort of overtime.
- 21:40Speaker 12: It started last year with the first opening to the
- 21:43Speaker 12: public as part of a festival. Now the Reinstatement Trust
- 21:46Speaker 12: is keen to do it again and as often as
- 21:48Speaker 12: possible to keep it front of mind. There'll be the
- 21:51Speaker 12: opportunity for fifty people to pay to have a look
- 21:53Speaker 12: behind the gates on a tour each month. Projects director
- 21:57Speaker 12: Caroline Grant says it's one way to make the most
- 22:00Speaker 12: of the space while restoration remains on hold.
- 22:03Speaker 2: All right, and weather but a foggy.
- 22:06Speaker 12: To start today, partly Glady later could see a shower
- 22:09Speaker 12: this evening north of westerlies and a high of nineteen.
- 22:12Speaker 2: All right, Max Toles and Wellington. The body count on
- 22:14Speaker 2: the restaurant closures keeps going up and up. Max, Good morning, Yeah,
- 22:17Speaker 2: good morning, Ekemburgers. Did you ever eat there? No, I
- 22:20Speaker 2: hadn't heard of that one.
- 22:21Speaker 9: Oh interesting, that's the former well now former permanent sort
- 22:25Speaker 9: of caravan set up. It has been a bit of
- 22:29Speaker 9: an institution in the capital for well over a decade.
- 22:31Speaker 9: The first place I ate at when I moved to
- 22:33Speaker 9: the capitol Bohemian, good vegetarian, vegan options. A lot of
- 22:37Speaker 9: people responding to the article with the mourning the loss
- 22:41Speaker 9: of Ekemburghers with stories of their own. Apparently the landlord
- 22:44Speaker 9: wouldn't renew the lease and the owners who only took
- 22:46Speaker 9: it up a few months ago don't believe it financially
- 22:50Speaker 9: worthwhile to set up elsewhere. Same story, No vibe in Wellington.
- 22:54Speaker 9: The other one a Vida Bar on Featherston Street. That's
- 22:58Speaker 9: the same owners as the Louver Belgian Beer Cafe the
- 23:01Speaker 9: Featherstone Bar. The same guy closed up the Whistling Sisters
- 23:05Speaker 9: last year. Again, not enough customers are pretty simple liquidators,
- 23:09Speaker 9: creditors all paid. That's fine for traffic just down the
- 23:13Speaker 9: city's still hurting apparently.
- 23:15Speaker 2: Yes, it's very sad to hear that. How's your weather today?
- 23:20Speaker 9: Should be fine this morning, a bit of cloud developing later.
- 23:22Speaker 9: The wind Up as well today sixteen the High Central.
- 23:25Speaker 2: All right, thank you, Max, ands are not Canava. Good morning.
- 23:29Speaker 2: I'm just thinking if we have another restaurant closed in Wellington,
- 23:32Speaker 2: we're going to have to hear stories about where. You know,
- 23:34Speaker 2: the every meal that Max has eaten there.
- 23:38Speaker 5: Yes, I started eating the teen years ago. When I
- 23:40Speaker 5: arrived at Wellington.
- 23:42Speaker 13: I said, I really feel for Wellington.
- 23:45Speaker 2: It's terrible. I think that one's on Cuba Street. If
- 23:48Speaker 2: it's the one I'm thinking of, it sounds a lot
- 23:50Speaker 2: of people go there.
- 23:51Speaker 13: Vegan food, yes, I mean I'm not vegan, but I
- 23:54Speaker 13: love Do you like vegan? Yes, yes I do.
- 23:57Speaker 2: Friend of mine, I've got two friends who are vegan
- 23:59Speaker 2: and quite serious about it, and I've tried it. We
- 24:02Speaker 2: had vegan food at their wedding and I went home
- 24:04Speaker 2: and ed McDonald's on the way.
- 24:06Speaker 13: Did you so grass, because as I say, they really
- 24:09Speaker 13: know their flavors as well.
- 24:11Speaker 2: You know, I thought it was all quite dry. I
- 24:13Speaker 2: don't know.
- 24:13Speaker 10: Oh right, or you won't be going there?
- 24:16Speaker 2: Then? Well it's closed, isn't it anyway. Auckland Writers Festival, yes,
- 24:21Speaker 2: now that is on.
- 24:22Speaker 13: It kicks off today. Book sales are set to skyrocket
- 24:25Speaker 13: this week. What we know is that obviously it showcases
- 24:28Speaker 13: the local writers once when around the world one hundred
- 24:31Speaker 13: and seventy events over the next week. So this festival
- 24:35Speaker 13: is the best attended of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere,
- 24:37Speaker 13: per Capita and Lindsey Finner, and she's the artistic director.
- 24:42Speaker 13: She says, at the book sales they were up fifty
- 24:44Speaker 13: percent last year on the one before. She reckons at
- 24:47Speaker 13: the festival the book buying in motion, because you know,
- 24:50Speaker 13: you wonder how book sales actually go.
- 24:52Speaker 14: You know, people.
- 24:54Speaker 13: Audio and kind there's so much available, but you know,
- 24:58Speaker 13: just that actual book for my I've got so many
- 25:00Speaker 13: books at home I still haven't even read. Actually, so
- 25:03Speaker 13: they reckon this Writer's Festival will be there, and of
- 25:06Speaker 13: course I've got really good writers there, the new writers
- 25:09Speaker 13: and falling back with some of the old, you know,
- 25:12Speaker 13: lovely writers that they've got. They've got suit Ian Rank
- 25:14Speaker 13: and remember him bestseller creative John Reebis.
- 25:17Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, I heard about I haven't read it, yeah,
- 25:20Speaker 2: like most things on my bookshelf, but I do the
- 25:23Speaker 2: audio books. Now, that's the thing it was.
- 25:26Speaker 13: We didn't get into that because people the newsroom, people
- 25:29Speaker 13: are talking about.
- 25:29Speaker 2: It's great, that's great. How your how's the weather cloudy?
- 25:32Speaker 13: Isolated chowers? Eighteen is the.
- 25:34Speaker 2: High brilliant, you have a great day. Neither it is
- 25:37Speaker 2: seventeen or we're late sixteen minutes away from six year
- 25:40Speaker 2: on news Talks, he'd be we're going to get to
- 25:41Speaker 2: Donald to Mayo on Australia.
- 25:42Speaker 1: Next International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of
- 25:47Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business sit.
- 25:49Speaker 2: Thing away from six on news talks with the Donald
- 25:52Speaker 2: Mayo is our Australia correspondent on a good morning, Good
- 25:54Speaker 2: morning to you. Now, what is going on with this
- 25:57Speaker 2: childcare center in Australia.
- 26:00Speaker 15: Well, as you know, childcare is a multi billion dollar enterprise.
- 26:04Speaker 15: Now there are accusations that one of Australia's biggest childcare companies,
- 26:08Speaker 15: Affinity Education, is treating children like numbers on a spreadsheet.
- 26:13Speaker 15: That these accusations that it's been quite greedy. Now it's
- 26:17Speaker 15: been hit with seventeen hundred regulatory breaches, that's more than
- 26:22Speaker 15: one per day between twenty twenty one and twenty twenty four. Now,
- 26:26Speaker 15: despite the breaches, they've been issued with just nine infringement
- 26:29Speaker 15: notices totally less than two thousand dollars in penalties, and
- 26:33Speaker 15: the ABC has exposed some pretty damning evidence of child
- 26:37Speaker 15: safety concerns. I'm just going to describe a video. It's
- 26:40Speaker 15: quite distressing, but there's a video of a baby crying
- 26:43Speaker 15: and a bouncer. A childcare worker slaps the child repeatedly
- 26:48Speaker 15: and a colleague has been recording the abuse and then
- 26:53Speaker 15: posted it on Snapchat. Now, as you can imagine that
- 26:56Speaker 15: this video has highlighted what people are saying, the on
- 27:00Speaker 15: going systemic issues relating to staffing and safety in these
- 27:04Speaker 15: childcare centers. And as you can imagine, people now asking
- 27:07Speaker 15: is the industry in crisis?
- 27:09Speaker 2: Did the colleague post it to shame that her colleague
- 27:12Speaker 2: or was it like, yeah, look at this, this is
- 27:14Speaker 2: what the child.
- 27:15Speaker 15: No, it was look at this that work, Yeah it was.
- 27:18Speaker 15: It was vile.
- 27:19Speaker 2: Yes, that's terrible. Donald. I appreciate your time this morning
- 27:22Speaker 2: as always. That Sara, Australia Correspondent onto my twelve minutes
- 27:25Speaker 2: away from Sex News talks hev Ryan Bridge. Here are
- 27:28Speaker 2: the numbers on maths from America stand for one hundred
- 27:31Speaker 2: million dollars over four years. That's twenty five million dollars
- 27:33Speaker 2: a year. This is going to come out in the budget.
- 27:35Speaker 2: Well it's a pre budget announcement. Really, every kid will
- 27:38Speaker 2: now get a new Math's ability check in the first
- 27:41Speaker 2: two years of their schooling life, one hundred and forty
- 27:43Speaker 2: three new Maths intervention teachers and forty million dollars for tutoring.
- 27:48Speaker 2: Robin Brown Upperhart Principles Association with me.
- 27:50Speaker 16: Robin, good morning, Good morning, How are you going.
- 27:53Speaker 2: I'm good, Thank you. This all sounds like it's got
- 27:55Speaker 2: to be a good thing.
- 27:58Speaker 16: It's always been in education, so absolutely, we're always we
- 28:04Speaker 16: value that. But unfortunately our problem doesn't sit in maths.
- 28:08Speaker 16: We are desperate for learning support. If we want to
- 28:13Speaker 16: improve achievement, we need to put every cent we have
- 28:16Speaker 16: into learning support rather than ring fencing it just for Maths.
- 28:22Speaker 16: We know that that's not going to make a huge difference.
- 28:25Speaker 16: At the moment. We have an adequate PLD or professional
- 28:28Speaker 16: development for teachers on a curriculum that they've only had
- 28:31Speaker 16: two terms to teach so far. It's not being implemented
- 28:34Speaker 16: with fability. We have no way of even assessing it yet.
- 28:41Speaker 16: For us in New Zealand, we need New Zealand based
- 28:44Speaker 16: resources led by New Zealand based educators for teachers?
- 28:48Speaker 2: What do we not have New Zealand based educators are
- 28:52Speaker 2: Are you saying you don't want us to bring in
- 28:54Speaker 2: teachers from overseas to fill these maths jobs?
- 28:57Speaker 16: Well, that's it. We're going to we walk one hundred
- 28:59Speaker 16: and forty three math jobs.
- 29:00Speaker 2: What's wrong? What's wrong with teachers and materials from overseas
- 29:04Speaker 2: for maths?
- 29:08Speaker 16: It's not designed for New Zealand. Children in New Zealand different.
- 29:11Speaker 2: What's different about a New Zealander learning to count than
- 29:14Speaker 2: an Australian or an American.
- 29:18Speaker 16: What's different is the way in which children learn. The
- 29:20Speaker 16: language that we're using for those children is not always English.
- 29:23Speaker 16: Are today our children need to be taught today, and
- 29:25Speaker 16: the resources are being translated, but they've.
- 29:28Speaker 2: Got separate resources. They've got separate resources that will be
- 29:31Speaker 2: translated for translation.
- 29:34Speaker 16: Doesn't mean that it's actually designed for the children.
- 29:36Speaker 2: But Robin, you're not going to sit here this morning
- 29:38Speaker 2: surely and protest more money going into maths resources on
- 29:43Speaker 2: the basis that there might be a translation of some tests.
- 29:47Speaker 16: I'm not protesting more money going into math resources. I'm
- 29:50Speaker 16: protesting money going into math resources when we have an
- 29:53Speaker 16: extraordinary large need for learning support. You needed to go
- 29:57Speaker 16: into learning support. We need additional support in classrooms for
- 30:01Speaker 16: teachers when we have children where behavior is an issue,
- 30:05Speaker 16: where diverse needs a neurodiversity in our schools. We've got
- 30:11Speaker 16: children that are going to be accessing additional Tier two
- 30:16Speaker 16: support for literacy, additional Tier to support for new mercy
- 30:21Speaker 16: when they actually need additional support for their learning needs.
- 30:25Speaker 2: So what you're saying is basically, the kids are coming
- 30:27Speaker 2: in too frazzled to you know, they've either got neglect
- 30:32Speaker 2: issues or behavior issues. They're not even ready to learn.
- 30:37Speaker 2: That's step one. That's what you're saying. Yes, absolutely, all right,
- 30:41Speaker 2: I appreciate your time. Robin Brown, who's the Upper Heart
- 30:43Speaker 2: Principals Association with us this morning, eight minutes away from
- 30:46Speaker 2: six News Talks AB.
- 30:49Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early editions with Ryan
- 30:53Speaker 1: Bridge and one roof Make your Property Search Simple News
- 30:57Speaker 1: Talks ZB.
- 30:58Speaker 2: Speaks away from six News Talks ZB. Right, while that
- 31:00Speaker 2: interview is all that is wrong with education in one
- 31:03Speaker 2: phone call? What a mindset? That's Kevin. This is Robin Brown,
- 31:07Speaker 2: who was the Principals Association and Upper Heart not happy
- 31:10Speaker 2: with well, not not happy with Erika Stanfords announcement, but says, basically,
- 31:14Speaker 2: kids are just crazy. When they come into class, they're
- 31:17Speaker 2: not even ready to learn. So it doesn't matter how
- 31:19Speaker 2: much money you put into maths or literacy or whatever.
- 31:22Speaker 2: The kids aren't even capable of learning. Five cry and
- 31:25Speaker 2: Bridge morning, Mike, have you seen.
- 31:28Speaker 14: The electricity poll this morning? You were talking about Flick.
- 31:31Speaker 14: I think earlier I was talking about Flick, but I
- 31:33Speaker 14: haven't seen the electricity right. So the pole we've got
- 31:35Speaker 14: to poll out and Courier did it for Octopus, who
- 31:38Speaker 14: were one of your retails type people, and all the
- 31:40Speaker 14: ones who claimed that we need to break up Gen Taylors. Anyway,
- 31:43Speaker 14: vast majority of New Zealanders want the government to do
- 31:45Speaker 14: something about the price of power. My question is, what
- 31:47Speaker 14: is it you want the government to do.
- 31:49Speaker 2: Literally, well, there's one little thing they can do, the
- 31:52Speaker 2: one thing that they've said they would do, which is
- 31:55Speaker 2: take the power away from the gent tailors. They're giving
- 31:57Speaker 2: themselves sweetheart deals on hedging but not giving it to
- 32:00Speaker 2: the smaller players, thereby pushing the smaller players out of
- 32:03Speaker 2: the market.
- 32:03Speaker 14: And so by having no sweetheart deals, you would lower
- 32:07Speaker 14: you would argue the price of power.
- 32:09Speaker 2: For the smaller players, thereby keeping them in the market,
- 32:12Speaker 2: thereby lowering the price. That's the theory.
- 32:15Speaker 14: Next part of the survey says, and huge number, sixty
- 32:17Speaker 14: seven sixty eight percent of people say the profits of
- 32:19Speaker 14: the power companies are too high. Now tell me you
- 32:23Speaker 14: pick me right now, pick me a power company, anyone
- 32:27Speaker 14: you want?
- 32:27Speaker 2: Meridian? Yep?
- 32:28Speaker 14: How much profit do they make?
- 32:30Speaker 2: Exactly? I can't remember. No one can remember.
- 32:32Speaker 14: No one knows. And that's the stupidity of the poll
- 32:35Speaker 14: because you just assume that people may go.
- 32:38Speaker 2: Let's how you say, are people paid too much in government?
- 32:43Speaker 2: They need to be paid more? Do they really how
- 32:45Speaker 2: much more?
- 32:45Speaker 11: Oh?
- 32:46Speaker 14: I don't know who should decide? Oh, I'm not really
- 32:48Speaker 14: sure do you want the government to pay?
- 32:49Speaker 2: So basically, polls suck.
- 32:51Speaker 14: Poles are a complete and utter waste of time. We'll
- 32:56Speaker 14: talk about their business of the mass this morning. Do
- 32:58Speaker 14: you reckon the biggest in to education success in this
- 33:02Speaker 14: country is government announcements and all money and all resources,
- 33:05Speaker 14: all the attitude of the sort of people in the
- 33:07Speaker 14: education system. We don't We're just succeed.
- 33:09Speaker 2: We just had an example of that on the program. Now,
- 33:11Speaker 2: I think I think a bit of the latter. But
- 33:13Speaker 2: I do think they have a point when they say
- 33:15Speaker 2: that kids are coming in basically insane and incapable of learning.
- 33:20Speaker 2: They're fighting, they've got behavioral issues, they've got adhd up
- 33:23Speaker 2: the wazoo. Is that I don't think they're lying about that.
- 33:28Speaker 14: Well, I think they are to be frank well, having
- 33:30Speaker 14: had having had five kids.
- 33:32Speaker 2: Yeah, but your kids probably aren't, you know what I mean?
- 33:35Speaker 14: Well, no, because I went to all sorts of different
- 33:37Speaker 14: schools and it's not it's not as bad as they
- 33:39Speaker 14: make out.
- 33:39Speaker 1: You know.
- 33:39Speaker 14: There's mostly kids are good, Mostly kids want to do okay,
- 33:43Speaker 14: Mostly kids turn up. Mostly the world isn't ending, and
- 33:46Speaker 14: mostly the government can't do anything about your power bill.
- 33:49Speaker 2: And that's according to a poll of one exactly. Mike's
- 33:52Speaker 2: next Have a Great Day.
