Speaker 1: The issues, the interviews and the inside. Ryan Bridge new
0:08
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty four on the early edition with Smith City,
0:12
Speaker 1: New Zealand's furniture vans and a playing store.
0:14
Speaker 2: News Talk sa'd be good morning, New Zealand. It is
0:17
Speaker 2: six half to five year old. News Talk said b
0:19
Speaker 2: coming up this morning. Right now, Donald Trump is speaking
0:21
Speaker 2: at a rally in North Carolina and Thomas Coglan is there.
0:24
Speaker 2: He's with us just before six donnod de Mayo on
0:26
Speaker 2: who's going to win the Melbourne Cup. Today we will
0:30
Speaker 2: look at the catch up classes supposedly going to fix
0:34
Speaker 2: our students' maths results. Will they Plus do you need
0:37
Speaker 2: a house to get ahead? In New Zealand? We've got
0:40
Speaker 2: the survey results for you too.
0:43
Speaker 1: The agenda.
0:44
Speaker 2: It is Tuesday, the fifth of November. Welcome to the show.
0:47
Speaker 2: Ten people have died in our volcanic eruption. This is
0:50
Speaker 2: in eastern Indonesia. They're watching in Australia the airspace closely
0:54
Speaker 2: to see if any flights might be affected. Rocks and
0:57
Speaker 2: lava hit a village full killing me is away from
1:00
Speaker 2: the crater. Indonesia's Disaster Release Agency says it's possible that
1:06
Speaker 2: flash flooding and cold lava flows in the days ahead
1:10
Speaker 2: are possible. A fifty eight day state of emergency has
1:12
Speaker 2: been declared in Spain. They just can't catch a break.
1:16
Speaker 2: Fifty flights have been diverted from Barcelona following a red
1:19
Speaker 2: alert where they're warning just days after severe flooding in Valencia.
1:22
Speaker 3: Red alert has been issued by the Meteorological Office and
1:28
Speaker 3: there is torrential rain right now. This has affected Barcelona
1:32
Speaker 3: Airport with flights being diverted. It's affecting rail travel with
1:36
Speaker 3: several rail lines down at the moment. Is also affecting roads.
1:41
Speaker 2: Here's what to watch today. The Aussies are expecting a
1:44
Speaker 2: Reserve Bank decision on the OCR It's likely to hold.
1:47
Speaker 2: Banks are predicting it won't be large to twenty twenty five.
1:50
Speaker 2: Currently they're at four point three five percent. Inflation is
1:52
Speaker 2: still a problem here. Tomorrow, our quarter three labor market
1:55
Speaker 2: data is out. You'll probably see another rise in unemployment
1:59
Speaker 2: from four point six per cent in quarter two to
2:01
Speaker 2: around the five percent mark for quarter three. That would mean,
2:04
Speaker 2: if you listen to the economists, probably a fifty basis
2:07
Speaker 2: point cut to the interest rate here on November twenty
2:09
Speaker 2: seven to get that seventy five basis point cut that
2:12
Speaker 2: everyone wants. You'd have to see employment head around five
2:16
Speaker 2: and a half percent. Also tomorrow, I'll be hosting The
2:19
Speaker 2: Herald's live election coverage from four pm. You can go
2:22
Speaker 2: to the Herald homepage. You'll see a TV screen live
2:25
Speaker 2: streaming at the top of the page and you can
2:27
Speaker 2: watch it. Then. We are not going We're running.
2:32
Speaker 4: Against something far bigger than Joe or Kama.
2:36
Speaker 5: They are indeed the enemy from within.
2:38
Speaker 2: You'll see analysis from Thomas cognan on the ground, Mitch McCann,
2:42
Speaker 2: ex trade negotiator, Charles Finny, political experts Trishus and Jose
2:45
Speaker 2: mcganney will be at the US ambassador's party, plus all
2:48
Speaker 2: the numbers in any action via our partner broadcasters out
2:51
Speaker 2: of the States. News Talk ZB of course has live
2:54
Speaker 2: coverage throughout the day too. Heather, We'll be on here
2:56
Speaker 2: as usual during drive tomorrow. Now TOIA, they have banned
3:01
Speaker 2: the importation of private petrol powered vehicles in part due
3:06
Speaker 2: to soaring petrol prices. You're only now allowed to buy evs.
3:11
Speaker 4: To avoid environmental pollution, a zulus for their country's economic benefits.
3:15
Speaker 4: The Electric Cause Policy is signed to me, it isntly
3:18
Speaker 4: what an electric cup and the continue me thoughts on
3:20
Speaker 4: electric CAUs have changed for the better.
3:24
Speaker 2: Only problem with that Ethiopia has serious issues providing consistent
3:28
Speaker 2: power supply to its capital city and spare ev parts
3:32
Speaker 2: are hard to get.
3:35
Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth
3:38
Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Swift City, New
3:42
Speaker 1: Zealand's furniture beds and applying store news talks it'd.
3:45
Speaker 2: Be in the United States this morning, the dollar is
3:48
Speaker 2: down point six of a percent, not a huge drop.
3:50
Speaker 2: It's the lowest level in two weeks, but it tells
3:53
Speaker 2: the story, and it tells the story of the strength
3:56
Speaker 2: of the dollar in the US. So Donald Trump, obvious,
4:00
Speaker 2: people think he well, people have thought he was sort
4:03
Speaker 2: of a chewing to get into the White House, not
4:05
Speaker 2: necessarily a chowin, but that it was more likely than
4:08
Speaker 2: not that he would get into the White House. And obviously,
4:11
Speaker 2: with his trade policies Trump trade as they call it,
4:14
Speaker 2: Republican policies would push up inflation in the United States
4:19
Speaker 2: and that would force the Federal Reserve to hike interest
4:22
Speaker 2: rates again, which have been higher returns on US assets,
4:26
Speaker 2: which would then make the dollar more attractive right now
4:28
Speaker 2: because the Poles have started to some Poles have started
4:31
Speaker 2: to turn a little bit in Harris's favor, with the
4:34
Speaker 2: Poles shifting slightly towards Harris. That strength in the news
4:38
Speaker 2: in the American dollar is coming off a bit. So
4:41
Speaker 2: it's down point six overnight last night. That's the news
4:44
Speaker 2: that's hiten just now. Also, what I find interesting about
4:48
Speaker 2: the whole US election thing is this polster herding issue.
4:53
Speaker 2: Have listened to Alex Costellonis. He is a respected pole strategist.
4:57
Speaker 2: He campaigned for Bush and for rom but he set
5:00
Speaker 2: up a bipartisan comms firm. This is what he says
5:04
Speaker 2: about the fact that all the Poles seem to show
5:07
Speaker 2: kind of the same thing.
5:08
Speaker 6: We're all missing something because they're giving us the same
5:12
Speaker 6: poll over and over again. There isn't even statistical variation.
5:17
Speaker 6: You know, ninety five percent confidence level means that five
5:20
Speaker 6: percent of the time you're going to get a crappy poll.
5:22
Speaker 6: We hardly ever see that. It's like they're telling us
5:24
Speaker 6: we're watching a basketball game. Wherever he plays a jump ball,
5:28
Speaker 6: somebody is missing something.
5:30
Speaker 2: Now, did we see that in Iowa yesterday? This an
5:34
Speaker 2: outlier of a poll was that a rogue pole? Well,
5:36
Speaker 2: I guess we'll have to wait and see. Not long now. However,
5:39
Speaker 2: what is interesting is and what this will come down to,
5:42
Speaker 2: is how much these Republicans and Democrats can get their
5:46
Speaker 2: base out to vote versus where those independents are going.
5:51
Speaker 2: Who are they breaking for? Is it for Harris or
5:54
Speaker 2: is it for Trump? We'll ask Thomas Coglan about that.
5:56
Speaker 2: He's on the show just before six, which.
6:01
Speaker 3: Nothing of you and looking.
6:05
Speaker 2: Sounds like a good idea giving students who aren't performing
6:08
Speaker 2: in maths and extratuition. Is it going to work? We'll
6:11
Speaker 2: look at that. Next News Talk, zaid B. It is
6:13
Speaker 2: twelve after five.
6:16
Speaker 7: Gotta green, run into my body.
6:19
Speaker 2: Got a hord.
6:22
Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines, Ryan Bridge, you for twenty
6:25
Speaker 1: twenty four on early edition with Smith City, New Zealand's
6:29
Speaker 1: furniture beds and a playing store.
6:31
Speaker 2: News Talk sied B just gone fourteen after five year
6:34
Speaker 2: on news Talk said, be a text from one of
6:36
Speaker 2: our listeners this morning, Ryan, all the wailing from the
6:39
Speaker 2: wet left over when he attending the Melbourne Cup. At
6:42
Speaker 2: least he's not wandering across the stage at the World
6:45
Speaker 2: of Wearable Arts he's there doing other stuff too. He's
6:48
Speaker 2: meeting with the Australia has Australian counterparts, but also he's
6:51
Speaker 2: meeting with his Indian counterparts, his peers from the Indian
6:56
Speaker 2: government who were there as well. I'm probably all going
6:58
Speaker 2: to the Melbourne Cup and I met. But I mean
7:01
Speaker 2: that's part of the job, isn't it. A quarter past five,
7:05
Speaker 2: The government's playing catch up on student maths failures, trialing
7:08
Speaker 2: a targeted math program to help intermediate students. From term
7:12
Speaker 2: one next year two thousand, year seven and eight students
7:16
Speaker 2: will be part of an intensive program to get them
7:18
Speaker 2: up to speed with the required curriculum level. The kids
7:22
Speaker 2: will get thirty minutes extra online tuition for up to
7:25
Speaker 2: four times a week. Kyle Brewerton is the Remuerra Intermediate
7:29
Speaker 2: School principal. He's with us this morning, Kyl, Good morning,
7:32
Speaker 2: Good morning, Ryan, Thanks for being with me. Will this
7:34
Speaker 2: make a difference.
7:37
Speaker 8: Well, that's what we'll find out. That's while we're doing
7:40
Speaker 8: the trial. The approach has some merit. Using those online
7:44
Speaker 8: tools they're very efficient generally at finding out where potentially
7:47
Speaker 8: those gaps are. But having the human element as well
7:51
Speaker 8: connected with it, I think, you know, the combination of
7:53
Speaker 8: the two should certainly go some ways to help those
7:56
Speaker 8: kids who we've found to be lacking.
7:59
Speaker 2: How many of your kids are lacking?
8:02
Speaker 8: They're not many. We're pretty pretty lucky where we are,
8:05
Speaker 8: but certainly nationally we know that there's a substantial number
8:08
Speaker 8: of kids who definitely need some extra help at the moment.
8:11
Speaker 2: What does it what makes the difference for your kids?
8:14
Speaker 2: Is it the fact they're getting a reinforced at home.
8:19
Speaker 8: There's a host of different factors. We certainly, I mean
8:23
Speaker 8: in our own school, we know that the gains that
8:25
Speaker 8: they make when they're with us are pretty spectacular. We
8:29
Speaker 8: know we have some great programs, we have some great teachers.
8:32
Speaker 8: We also use some of those online tools. It's just
8:35
Speaker 8: a combination of things.
8:36
Speaker 5: Really.
8:36
Speaker 2: Is it a real teacher doing a lesson in this
8:40
Speaker 2: half hour online or is it like a multi choice
8:43
Speaker 2: of questions and stuff.
8:45
Speaker 8: Yes, again, it's a combination of the two.
8:48
Speaker 5: Really.
8:48
Speaker 8: So the software atself, as I said, is pretty good
8:52
Speaker 8: at finding out where those gaps are and then giving
8:54
Speaker 8: some sort of tuition, some guidance, some examples, but then
8:59
Speaker 8: having also a teacher, or at least the trains teacher
9:02
Speaker 8: ade alongside them helping them to understand that makes sense
9:06
Speaker 8: of what it is that perhaps those gaps that they
9:09
Speaker 8: might have to explain some of those concepts because maths
9:13
Speaker 8: can be a little bit ambiguous at times, a little
9:16
Speaker 8: bit abstract. So the human element combined with those software,
9:20
Speaker 8: particularly the ones that do, as I say, find those gaps,
9:25
Speaker 8: it's a powerful combination.
9:26
Speaker 2: The testing that goes on. How often are you testing
9:30
Speaker 2: at the moment your intermediate students for maths?
9:35
Speaker 8: Yeah, so there's two parts, and I mean we tend
9:37
Speaker 8: to sort of focus on the assessment piece, but the
9:40
Speaker 8: testing is used largely to look at those big trends.
9:45
Speaker 8: So we'll do that twice a year to see how
9:47
Speaker 8: overall how our kids are tracking, how particular groups are
9:50
Speaker 8: tracking over the two years with us. But then we
9:53
Speaker 8: also as we move through the different parts of maths,
9:56
Speaker 8: we'll do some little assessments. We're also obviously watching and
10:00
Speaker 8: sitting alongside them the whole time, just seeing who's understanding
10:04
Speaker 8: and who's not, and what sort of extra support might
10:06
Speaker 8: be needed as we go.
10:07
Speaker 2: Do you do that more than other schools? Because the
10:10
Speaker 2: government's make from next year it'll be at least two
10:14
Speaker 2: assessments per year for math. Are others not doing that?
10:18
Speaker 8: Well, that's what we've been told, but I certainly can't
10:20
Speaker 8: speak for other schools, certainly the schools around me and
10:23
Speaker 8: people I talk to. It's a pretty standard approach because
10:27
Speaker 8: you know, you want to do it a couple of
10:28
Speaker 8: times a year just to see as I see those trends,
10:30
Speaker 8: that movement, that progress, and also make sure you're catching
10:34
Speaker 8: those ones who aren't keeping up.
10:37
Speaker 2: Thanks so much for your time, Kyle. Great to have
10:39
Speaker 2: you on the show. Kyl Bruce and the Auckland Primary Sorry,
10:42
Speaker 2: who is the Remuer Intermediate School Principal? It is eighteen
10:46
Speaker 2: after five. You're on News Talk, said B on.
10:49
Speaker 1: Your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with Ryan
10:54
Speaker 1: Bridge and SMIT City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and a
10:57
Speaker 1: Playing Store News Talk Zaid B.
10:59
Speaker 2: Simons numbers out as well. This is about the swing states.
11:02
Speaker 2: So for Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin for early voting, they
11:05
Speaker 2: don't break it down by party affiliation, but they do
11:08
Speaker 2: for others. In Arizona, for example, they can tell you
11:12
Speaker 2: that of the early votes that have been cast, the
11:14
Speaker 2: Democrats have got seven hundred and thirty six thousand odd
11:17
Speaker 2: Republicans nine hundred and twenty four odd thousand, so Republicans
11:21
Speaker 2: more Republicans getting out early. In Arizona, Nevada, the same thing,
11:26
Speaker 2: Republicans four hundred and seven thousand, the Dems three hundred
11:29
Speaker 2: and sixty four. North Carolina, it's neck and neck about
11:32
Speaker 2: one point four million each and interestingly unaffiliated. That's your independence.
11:37
Speaker 2: Who are they voting for? There's one point four million
11:40
Speaker 2: of them and votes still to be counted. In Pennsylvania
11:43
Speaker 2: obviously the king of the swings the early votes so far,
11:47
Speaker 2: the Dems are ahead there nine hundred and ninety thousand
11:50
Speaker 2: to the Republicans five hundred and eighty three. It is
11:53
Speaker 2: twenty two after five.
11:55
Speaker 1: Bryan Bridge.
11:56
Speaker 2: We've had some insight into home ownership, a new report
11:58
Speaker 2: from Kiwibank revealing eight five percent of us think that
12:01
Speaker 2: owning a home is important, and two out of three
12:04
Speaker 2: of us think it's essential to getting ahead. In New Zealand,
12:08
Speaker 2: two thirds of non homeowners feel lockdown of the market
12:11
Speaker 2: and almost half are open to exploring other ways to
12:14
Speaker 2: get onto it. Sam Stubbs is these simplicity founderies with
12:17
Speaker 2: us this morning. Sam, Good morning, Good morning, Ryan. Big
12:21
Speaker 2: issue here is obviously saving for a deposit cost a
12:24
Speaker 2: living crisis makes that very hard. How do you get
12:29
Speaker 2: over that barrier? I mean, do we just have to
12:31
Speaker 2: wait until wages go up again? Yeah?
12:33
Speaker 5: Look, it's super hard, isn't it. I Mean, an awful
12:36
Speaker 5: lot of people are now using kiwisaver as they're effectively
12:39
Speaker 5: their first home deposit vehicle, right and it's pretty well
12:42
Speaker 5: pretty well sorted for that because you put some money in,
12:45
Speaker 5: your employer put some money in, and you can't otherwise
12:48
Speaker 5: touch it really until then. So that's that's working out
12:52
Speaker 5: to be useful. But the problem is, as you say,
12:55
Speaker 5: even deposits are a very large sum of money, so
12:58
Speaker 5: it takes a long time to be saved that So yeah,
13:01
Speaker 5: I mean, you're absolutely right. Either wages have to go
13:04
Speaker 5: up or taxes have to go down, or effectively we
13:07
Speaker 5: have to spend less on living and save more via
13:09
Speaker 5: a Kiwi saver. It's probably going to be a combination
13:12
Speaker 5: of all those three things over the years, but it's
13:14
Speaker 5: absolutely tough. You're right. You know. The really interesting number
13:17
Speaker 5: for me, Ryan is that back in nineteen eighty about
13:21
Speaker 5: eighty two percent of New Zealand. New Zealand has owned
13:24
Speaker 5: their own home. Now it's about sixty two percent. So
13:28
Speaker 5: since nineteen eighty we've had about twenty percent of New
13:30
Speaker 5: Zealanders that basically had had to rent because they couldn't
13:33
Speaker 5: have to buy their home. So owning your own home
13:35
Speaker 5: is the Kiwi dream is just becoming harder.
13:38
Speaker 2: I thought the interesting thing here was sixty six percent
13:40
Speaker 2: of us say yes, you do need to own a
13:43
Speaker 2: home in New Zealand in order to get ahead, which means,
13:46
Speaker 2: I mean there's still a good chunk who don't think that,
13:48
Speaker 2: that believe you can get ahead through other means.
13:52
Speaker 5: Oh. Absolutely. You know, you've got the share market, you've
13:55
Speaker 5: got Kiwi Saver, you've got investing in your own business.
13:57
Speaker 5: There's a whole lot of other ways to make money.
14:00
Speaker 5: And of course, you know, if you look at countries
14:02
Speaker 5: like Germany, right, you know, more than fifty percent of
14:04
Speaker 5: the population rent, and they rent because they can rent
14:07
Speaker 5: very long term. I met a family in Berlin years
14:10
Speaker 5: ago who's I think up to their fifth generation of
14:13
Speaker 5: renting in the same home, and because they had rights
14:15
Speaker 5: as renters, they could live there as of right. You know,
14:18
Speaker 5: they basically couldn't be kicked out the apartment, couldn't be
14:21
Speaker 5: sold from underneath them. They thought renting was perfectly reasonable
14:24
Speaker 5: and they'd use the extra money to invest in other stuff.
14:28
Speaker 5: So it's certainly not the only option, and I think
14:30
Speaker 5: too of course, remember Ian is you've got a whole
14:32
Speaker 5: lot of younger people who are moving around a lot
14:34
Speaker 5: more right now. They don't necessarily buy into the dream
14:36
Speaker 5: of buying a home and living in the same city
14:39
Speaker 5: or town. You've got a whole lot of older people
14:41
Speaker 5: too who say, you know what, I'd rather actually sell
14:43
Speaker 5: the house, free up the money rent so I can
14:45
Speaker 5: spend it on other stuff that I want in my
14:50
Speaker 5: elder years, as long as I have housing security. So
14:53
Speaker 5: that's the issue. Once you provide people with security, they
14:57
Speaker 5: know they can stay there as long as they want.
15:00
Speaker 5: Find a whole lot of people saying I don't really
15:01
Speaker 5: mind whether I own own or rent. The other thing too,
15:05
Speaker 5: of course, is that we've lived in the last thirty
15:07
Speaker 5: years right in the world where house prices have kept
15:09
Speaker 5: on going up. So there's this is some and we've
15:12
Speaker 5: had we've had a tax system which is incentivized people
15:15
Speaker 5: to buy houses because those gains are tax free, whereas
15:19
Speaker 5: if you know, in theory, if you're stuck it in
15:21
Speaker 5: the share market as a trader, or here we save it,
15:23
Speaker 5: you pay taxes. Now is that going to carry on?
15:27
Speaker 5: You know? I mean houses have become so unaffordable, there
15:30
Speaker 5: has to be a point at which the house prices
15:32
Speaker 5: stop rising as fast as they have in the past,
15:35
Speaker 5: So maybe it won't be quite as good an investment
15:38
Speaker 5: as it used to be.
15:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you there, Sam, I just I mean,
15:41
Speaker 2: and you look at those reports from Treasury and the
15:43
Speaker 2: like that say, well and the Tax Working Group that
15:46
Speaker 2: adding a capital gains tax isn't necessarily going to bring
15:49
Speaker 2: those prices down. But I take your point. Sam. Thank
15:51
Speaker 2: you very much for coming on the show. Always appreciate it.

Speaker 2: Sam Stubbs, Simplicity Founder. It's twenty six after five News
15:57
Speaker 2: Talk said Big the early.
15:59
Speaker 1: Edition Fullso podcast on iHeartRadio, Power It by News.
16:03
Speaker 2: Talks v It is twenty eight after five year on
16:05
Speaker 2: News Talk Zaib. The youth Court is a good idea
16:08
Speaker 2: in theory because it tries to steer kids away from
16:11
Speaker 2: an adult prison and the life of crime. But when
16:14
Speaker 2: it fails, it fails spectacularly and we all paid the
16:18
Speaker 2: price for its leniency. Take the teenager at Dante Eden.
16:22
Speaker 2: For example, when he was sixteen, he bashed a seventy
16:24
Speaker 2: eight year old man nearly to death while the old
16:26
Speaker 2: guy slept in his bed. The judge gave him a
16:28
Speaker 2: warning and told him to keep out of trouble. If
16:31
Speaker 2: that's not lenient, I don't know what it is. Did
16:33
Speaker 2: he say, out of trouble? No stuff? Reports? Three months
16:36
Speaker 2: later he robbed a bloke in Wellington, stole from a
16:38
Speaker 2: petrol station and resisted arrest by the cops. Now he's eighteen,
16:42
Speaker 2: he'll be dealt with by the same judge, but in
16:44
Speaker 2: a district court, not a youth court. I'm all for
16:46
Speaker 2: second chances and the youth court in some cases, but
16:49
Speaker 2: surely if you beat nearly to death an old man
16:52
Speaker 2: in his bed in such a brutal fashion, there's nothing
16:55
Speaker 2: particularly youthful about your actions. You're not acting like a
16:58
Speaker 2: youth who's made a wee mistake and need to hand
17:00
Speaker 2: turning things around. You acted like a thug and more
17:03
Speaker 2: should be done to stop another crime from being committed.
17:05
Speaker 2: This guy was seen running from the old man's house
17:07
Speaker 2: with a crowbar, for goodness sakes, so the judge in
17:11
Speaker 2: these new charges has given him home detention for the
17:15
Speaker 2: second round offending. So you can beat an old man,
17:18
Speaker 2: mug another, rip off a gas station and fight with
17:21
Speaker 2: the cops and never see the inside of a cell.
17:25
Speaker 2: Keeping him out of jail might be better for him
17:28
Speaker 2: in the long term, we're told, but is it better
17:30
Speaker 2: for us the public walking down the street or god forbid,
17:34
Speaker 2: sleeping in our own beds? At night?
17:41
Speaker 1: News and Views you trust to start your day, It's
17:44
Speaker 1: early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's
17:47
Speaker 1: furniture Beds and a flying store.
17:49
Speaker 2: News Talk saidy, good morning, New Zealand. It is twenty
17:59
Speaker 2: four to six. Welcome to your Tuesday, I for you're
18:01
Speaker 2: just joining us. Dono demayo out of Australia in just
18:04
Speaker 2: a few moments time. Melbourne cup on today obviously the
18:06
Speaker 2: umpire that dressed up as though Sama bin Laden. Thomas
18:10
Speaker 2: Coglin is in North Carolina, the swing state for us.
18:12
Speaker 2: This morning, we'll get all the latest on the campaign
18:15
Speaker 2: China watching that campaign too, and then analysts watching China
18:19
Speaker 2: watching the American campaign, and we're expecting big things. They
18:24
Speaker 2: were expecting a bazooka stimulus announcement out of China. This
18:28
Speaker 2: is because they anticipated that Beijing was moving its announcement
18:33
Speaker 2: about a stimulus till after the election, waiting to see
18:35
Speaker 2: who got in and how big the stimulus might need
18:37
Speaker 2: to be because obviously they've got an economic downturn, which
18:40
Speaker 2: affects all of us because we trade so much with them.
18:43
Speaker 2: Sarah was saying, oh, licking their lips, going well, then
18:45
Speaker 2: waiting till the election's over, and then they're going to
18:47
Speaker 2: announce the stimulus. And if Trump gets and it's going
18:49
Speaker 2: to be a giant stimulus. Apparently it's a one moment.
18:52
Speaker 2: They just moved the announcement because of DeLay's scheduling delays
18:57
Speaker 2: with some legislative meetings that are going on. So that's boring.
19:02
Speaker 2: It has just gone twenty three minutes away from six
19:04
Speaker 2: year on news talks here'd be legendary music producer Quincy
19:09
Speaker 2: Jones has passed away at the age of ninety one.
19:12
Speaker 2: Have listened to how he talks about the job he loved.
19:15
Speaker 1: I like to think about the studio as a place
19:17
Speaker 1: that's real sacred, you know, where magical things happen. Hopefully, No,
19:21
Speaker 1: that's what great breakfasts are supposed to be about.
19:23
Speaker 2: And they did. Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, you name it.
19:27
Speaker 2: He produced the thriller album. He took fly Me to
19:29
Speaker 2: the Moon from a waltz to a swing, which is
19:33
Speaker 2: obviously instrumental in making it successful. Ninety one years old
19:36
Speaker 2: died peacefully at home, Ryan Bridge. It's time to go
19:40
Speaker 2: to our reporters around the country and we start in
19:43

Speaker 2: will get to Cullum in just a second. Colum's going
19:55
Speaker 2: to talk to us about the save our Southern Hospital campaign.

20:02
Speaker 2: me there? Good morning, I've got you just find so
20:04
Speaker 2: how far north are we going with this campaign?

20:14

Speaker 9: and a member of the New Zealand Nurses organization. This
20:31
Speaker 9: protest ambulance has already driven around the South gaining support
20:34
Speaker 9: for the protest. Me Jill's Radick says, there's been a
20:37
Speaker 9: lot of interest even from people outside of the Southern
20:39
Speaker 9: region who care about this government's decision. How's your weather, cloudy,
20:44
Speaker 9: chance of an afternoon or evening shower southerly is developing
20:47
Speaker 9: and seventeen today, no.
20:48
Speaker 2: One, thank you, Clise Sherewards and Christy, it's this morning clear.
20:50
Speaker 2: The Garden City is cementing its position as the events
20:53
Speaker 2: capital of New Zealand. Now is that just propaganda from you?
20:57
Speaker 2: No way, Ryan, you.
20:58
Speaker 10: Bet And it's nice to have a positive store glory

Speaker 10: for once. We've got more than one hundred thousand people
21:03
Speaker 10: expected in christ Church this month across one hundred and
21:06
Speaker 10: fifty three events. That's at a range of different venues.
21:09
Speaker 10: It's certainly a different story from those early post quake days.
21:14
Speaker 10: We've got around forty three thousand people to set foot
21:16
Speaker 10: at Wolfbrook Arena in November. That's seven events, ranging from
21:20
Speaker 10: the Crowded House Tour to Hosier Of course. Venus Auto
21:23
Speaker 10: Tahi Chief executive Caroline Harvey Tear is very excited about it.
21:27
Speaker 10: She says they're going to see a strong demand for
21:29
Speaker 10: events in the city for a long time from now.
21:32
Speaker 10: She says, it's a great platform for what's to come,
21:34
Speaker 10: and we've got plenty of new infrastructure.
21:36
Speaker 2: On the way as well.
21:37
Speaker 10: Of course the new stadium Takaha not far off.
21:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking forward to that opening. How's your weather clear?
21:42
Speaker 10: Scattered rain about this morning, will ease though to one
21:45
Speaker 10: or two showers north of east turning southerly and the

Speaker 10: high as eighteen.
21:49
Speaker 2: Thank you, Max Tolsan Wellington. The fate of these two
21:51
Speaker 2: cats in that vet fire? Max? What do we know?
21:54
Speaker 11: Yeah, so there was a fire in Kilberni at the
21:58
Speaker 11: two story cave That's clinic early Sunday morning. Two cats
22:03
Speaker 11: have been found, two are missing. Four apparently seemed to
22:06
Speaker 11: escape at the time of the fire. All the other
22:09
Speaker 11: animals were able to be rescued, but these four cats
22:12
Speaker 11: ran away, it seems. Owner Nick Cooper says he still
22:16
Speaker 11: doesn't know exactly if one or two may have died
22:19
Speaker 11: in the fire, but they are looking for the two
22:21
Speaker 11: that are missing. Some humane cat traps have been set
22:23
Speaker 11: up around the clinic to catch them. What's new is
22:27
Speaker 11: we may know the cause of the fire, and it's
22:29
Speaker 11: quite sad. A tenant above their building. Had seemed to
22:32
Speaker 11: be smoking on their deck through their cigarette but over
22:36
Speaker 11: the railing and into some foliage.
22:37
Speaker 2: And that's it.
22:38
Speaker 11: That's the end of the vets.
22:39
Speaker 2: Gosh, wow, what do you do? I guess it. How's
22:44
Speaker 2: your wither? Hopefully raining?
22:46
Speaker 11: Well it is overcast with periods of rain around midday,
22:50
Speaker 11: strong northerly seventeen in the city.
22:52
Speaker 2: Thank you Neivas and Augland this morning and Neva, good morning.
22:55
Speaker 12: Good morning. Let's go on and oh well tell you.
22:59
Speaker 12: They going to have their say fung on what public
23:02
Speaker 12: transport options that they would like to coincide with this
23:06
Speaker 12: new highway. So we know that the pen Link it's
23:09
Speaker 12: going to be seven kilometers highway is due in late
23:11
Speaker 12: twenty twenty six and it's going to apparently create a
23:14
Speaker 12: quicker route between the peninsula and into the central city.
23:17
Speaker 12: So Auckland Transports consulting on three options. One that would
23:21
Speaker 12: see the current bus and ferries services run more often,
23:24
Speaker 12: there's what they're saying. The other two options and see
23:26
Speaker 12: additional services created. But what eight is going to do.
23:29
Speaker 12: For now, They're going to hold five drop in sessions.
23:31
Speaker 12: This is over the month of November this month, and
23:34
Speaker 12: then'll give people a chance to, you know, talk to
23:36
Speaker 12: the project team one on one and give their views.
23:39
Speaker 2: Did they say which mode of transport will give the
23:42
Speaker 2: quicker route?
23:43
Speaker 7: No, they didn't.
23:44
Speaker 2: Because I'm assuming they'd be like one of those bus
23:47
Speaker 2: lanes that you know happen.
23:48
Speaker 12: Ye, I think, because wouldn't be one of the fairies.
23:51
Speaker 12: What it's going to be a busy week. You're going
23:55
Speaker 12: to be busy lot. We've got Guy Fawkes tonight we
23:58
Speaker 12: do Melbourne Cut the UI selection and you are going
24:02
Speaker 12: to be doing the Hero.
24:04
Speaker 2: Herald coverage tomorrow at four pm. Yes, which would be good.
24:07
Speaker 2: People can tune in on the Herald website lovely.
24:10
Speaker 12: But you're right, well you have a pillow and blanket
24:12
Speaker 12: because then you're going to be on your show on
24:14
Speaker 12: early edition the next morning.
24:15
Speaker 2: It depends how late we go with that Herald live coverage.
24:19
Speaker 2: I don't know at this point with it.
24:21
Speaker 12: I think you might go late because it's going to
24:22
Speaker 12: be so close.
24:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll be close and things. It may take days,
24:25
Speaker 2: it may take weeks till we find out a result.
24:28
Speaker 2: So the live stream could go on a very long time.
24:30
Speaker 12: Because Tuesday morning we're coming in an hour earlier because
24:33
Speaker 12: we're going to be doing live bulletins for four aears.
24:36
Speaker 12: I'll be here. I might be here before you, or
24:39
Speaker 12: if I am and you're sleeping under your disk, I
24:40
Speaker 12: can wake you up.
24:42
Speaker 2: I can wake you up at three. How's the weather today?
24:44
Speaker 12: Partly clouding?
24:44
Speaker 2: Nineteen it's the high brilliant neither thank you seventeen to
24:47
Speaker 2: six News Talk ZB We're live to North Carolina in
24:49
Speaker 2: just a few moments. Plus Donald May out.
24:52
Speaker 1: Of Australia International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace
24:57
Speaker 1: of mind for New Zealand business.
25:00
Speaker 2: Fourteen to sex News Talk said, be Dona Jamayo is
25:03
Speaker 2: our Australia correspondent, Dona the Melbourne Cup? Who should we well?
25:07
Speaker 2: Who do we want in our sweepsteak at the office here?
25:09
Speaker 13: Oh?
25:10
Speaker 7: Oh, such a good question. I did my research. There's
25:13
Speaker 7: three New Zealand horses. One of them has my lucky
25:16
Speaker 7: number twenty four. So there's trusting you. There's positivity and
25:20
Speaker 7: sharp and smart if you want to back a New
25:22
Speaker 7: Zealand horse. But as you know, do you know how
25:26
Speaker 7: much the prize money is for if you win the
25:27
Speaker 7: Melbourne Cup?
25:28
Speaker 2: I don't. What is that?
25:29
Speaker 7: It's nearly five million dollars, So that's that's not that's
25:34
Speaker 7: a pretty penny, right. It's going to be run for
25:37
Speaker 7: the one hundred and sixty fourth time this year. There
25:40
Speaker 7: are four women trying to join Michelle Payne, who nine
25:44
Speaker 7: years ago became the first female jockey to ever win
25:46
Speaker 7: the Melbourne Cup. So we have Jamie Carr, we have
25:50
Speaker 7: Rachel King, Wenona Costa and Holly Doyle. So you could
25:52
Speaker 7: possibly want to back a female jockey for a change,
25:57
Speaker 7: a quirky reason to you know, find a back there
26:01
Speaker 7: or someone tore back there. And then we've got a
26:04
Speaker 7: little bit of celebrity at the track today. We have
26:07
Speaker 7: Liz Hurley coming to Flemington to check out the races.
26:10
Speaker 7: We also have Nicky Hilton and Sir Bob Geldoff is
26:15
Speaker 7: a late addition.
26:16
Speaker 2: And they couldn't get Paris Hilton. They just stuck with
26:19
Speaker 2: Nicky instead of the B team, isn't it. But I
26:23
Speaker 2: tell you what, Liz Hurley always looks great, doesn't she.
26:26
Speaker 7: Oh look, everyone's going to be looking at what everyone's wearing,
26:28
Speaker 7: but particularly Liz Hurley. I do agree. And the person
26:32
Speaker 7: that's singing the national anthem, I thought this was a
26:33
Speaker 7: lovely touch. The granddaughter of Sir Donald Bradman will be
26:37
Speaker 7: singing the Australian National anthem at Flemington just before the
26:40
Speaker 7: big race, which I thought was a lovely touch.
26:42
Speaker 2: Hey very quickly. The leading football umpire that's been forced
26:47
Speaker 2: to apologize for wearing a controversial fancy dress costume. What
26:50
Speaker 2: was the costume? Oh gosh?
26:52
Speaker 7: The theme for this end of season gathering was characters
26:57
Speaker 7: from the two thousands? How many people could he chosen from?
27:01
Speaker 7: What does he do? He dressed up as a sam
27:04
Speaker 7: I've bin laden? Oh my goodness me. The costume has
27:07
Speaker 7: been deemed inappropriate, offensive and in portaste and the afl
27:11
Speaker 7: umpire has been forced to well. He has apologized. He
27:15
Speaker 7: says it was an error of judgment and never intended
27:18
Speaker 7: to offend. He has been subsequently suspended for a short period.
27:22
Speaker 2: When will they learn? Thank you so much for that?
27:24
Speaker 2: Donna Donald to Moore Australia corresponded twelve away from six Bridge. Right,
27:30
Speaker 2: it's election day tomorrow. Everyone is excited? Well is everyone excited?
27:34
Speaker 2: I suppose people are highly anticipating the result of the election.
27:38
Speaker 2: That's a fair way to put it. Thomas Cognan is
27:40
Speaker 2: the New Zealand Herald, deputy political editor. He is in Pennsylvania,
27:43
Speaker 2: Pennsylvania as the king of the swings, So what's his
27:47
Speaker 2: pick for what is going to happen. We'll go to
27:48
Speaker 2: IM Live now. Hey Thomas, Hey Lauren Ryan, good to
27:52
Speaker 2: have you on the show. What are you feeling? What's
27:54
Speaker 2: the vibe?
27:56
Speaker 13: The vibe changes wherever I go. I've been asking myself
28:00
Speaker 13: question since I got here. I was in North Carolina
28:02
Speaker 13: a couple of days ago and it was feeling very
28:05
Speaker 13: kind of trumpy. I'm in downtown Philadelphia at the moment,
28:08
Speaker 13: that's that's always going to be pretty hars so, and
28:10
Speaker 13: it does feel like that. And then I was in
28:12
Speaker 13: the suburbs of Philadelphia a couple of days before that,
28:14
Speaker 13: and that was feeling a.
28:15
Speaker 5: Bit of a mix.
28:16
Speaker 13: And all the poles are saying it's incredibly close, and
28:19
Speaker 13: it honestly feels that way here. It feels like there
28:22
Speaker 13: is no convincing lead right as side.
28:25
Speaker 2: What about this idea of polster herding? Is there any
28:28
Speaker 2: truth in this idea where the posters are all waiting
28:31
Speaker 2: their outcomes to be roughly the same, because it does
28:33
Speaker 2: seem odd that every pole pretty much, I mean, you
28:36
Speaker 2: have that Iowa won the outliner the other day. But
28:37
Speaker 2: every pole pretty much has the neck and neck. Shouldn't
28:40
Speaker 2: we have more rows?
28:42
Speaker 13: So you mentioned that Iowa way, Yeah, yeah, you mentioned that.
28:46
Speaker 13: I think they are Trump by three points. And it's
28:49
Speaker 13: a new like, it's a very it's not just any poles.
28:53
Speaker 13: That's one that's been very young. The money for presidents
28:58
Speaker 13: there is got it wrong. The last three elections, two
29:04
Speaker 13: presidential elections and then the last mini elections are quite wrong.
29:07
Speaker 13: They have been looking at the methodologies to improve them,
29:12
Speaker 13: and in doing so there is a convincing em to
29:15
Speaker 13: be made that they might be overdating Donald Trump's argument
29:18
Speaker 13: on chances. We won't know the answers of that until
29:22
Speaker 13: the results are counted, but that actually does seem like
29:26
Speaker 13: a very kind of potential potential out kind of what's
29:30
Speaker 13: going on here, just because it is really quite weird
29:32
Speaker 13: that all these poles are clustering, and they had hundreds
29:35
Speaker 13: of poles over here, Ryan, not like every day.
29:39
Speaker 2: We have the well we pretty much have till bought
29:41
Speaker 2: mills and the Taxpayers Union doing us proud exactly. Hey,
29:46
Speaker 2: what about the Houses of Congress? So who's going to
29:49
Speaker 2: get the Senate? Who's going to get the because there
29:54
Speaker 2: was talk that Republicans will definitely keep the Senate. Do
29:56
Speaker 2: you think that'll happen?
30:00
Speaker 13: It looks like a toss up at the moment. So
30:02
Speaker 13: there are half a dozen races. I mean, in Pennsylvania
30:05
Speaker 13: at the moment, they've got quite a contenditive centate race.
30:08
Speaker 13: So it honestly, they could be they could be split.
30:13
Speaker 13: They could all go one way, they could all the
30:15
Speaker 13: other way. Again, I'm not sure. Again, it's too close
30:19
Speaker 13: to all.
30:20
Speaker 2: How much of this do you think will come down
30:22
Speaker 2: to the you know, the Democrats and the Republicans getting
30:26
Speaker 2: their base out versus those independents breaking one way or
30:31
Speaker 2: the other? Sorry, I see how much of this will
30:37
Speaker 2: come down to the Democrats and the Republicans getting their
30:40
Speaker 2: base out versus the independence breaking for Harris or Trump
30:44
Speaker 2: one way or the other.
30:48
Speaker 13: It actually it's I mean, it does seem like a
30:50
Speaker 13: bit of both. I think the Democrats are focusing on
30:55
Speaker 13: on on trying to do a bit of both. I'm
30:59
Speaker 13: definitely doing it that turnout game, but also trying to
31:02
Speaker 13: break independence that way. It seems like the Republicans are
31:05
Speaker 13: just simply focusing and the Republicans have always been quite
31:10
Speaker 13: skeptical of early voting, but this election they are very
31:13
Speaker 13: very keen to get early voting, to get early voting across,
31:17
Speaker 13: to encourage the voters to early vote, because they don't want,
31:21
Speaker 13: you know, if there's a massive blizzard tomorrow or a
31:23
Speaker 13: rain storm or something that keeps people away from the polls.
31:26
Speaker 13: They want to make sure that there as many of
31:27
Speaker 13: their voters of voters possible so that a free givent
31:29
Speaker 13: that that doesn't doesn't them their chances.
31:32
Speaker 2: Thomas, thank you very much. We'll let you get back
31:34
Speaker 2: to the campaign. Thomas Coglan, Herald, Deputy Political editor with
31:38
Speaker 2: US in Pennsylvania. It is eight minutes away from six
31:41
Speaker 2: News TALKSB.

32:11
Speaker 2: at the younger ones and it's even worse. Seven or
32:14
Speaker 2: eight hours per day.
32:16
Speaker 14: Yet again, Good morning, Ryan morning, Yet again, another reason
32:20
Speaker 14: why academics shouldn't be allowed to do studies because look
32:23
Speaker 14: at what the headline says. The headline says, we spend
32:26
Speaker 14: more time on social media than we do.
32:28
Speaker 2: Eating, eating, and eating social So there's your clickbait.
32:31
Speaker 14: But think about it. Certain activities in life take time,
32:35
Speaker 14: whereas eating doesn't have to. You have a sandwich at work,
32:38
Speaker 14: it's five minutes long. You don't, doesn't mean anything. You
32:41
Speaker 14: wouldn't want people eating all day.
32:43
Speaker 2: They'd be I.
32:44
Speaker 14: Spent five hours to day eating.
32:45
Speaker 2: They think you're mental. So you've been about to talk.
32:48
Speaker 14: Of course you're going to be scrolling. It depends, and
32:51
Speaker 14: surely it depends on what you're scrolling through.
32:53
Speaker 2: But I think this is the journalist doing this angle
32:56
Speaker 2: at the top. But the journal is seven hours a
33:00
Speaker 2: day for young people on a phone. I mean that's well,
33:03
Speaker 2: it depends. Well.
33:03
Speaker 14: I mean when you say a phone so little media,
33:06
Speaker 14: I reckon I would read six hours a.
33:08
Speaker 2: Day, yeah, but not social media, not social tok.
33:11
Speaker 14: No, no no. But it's all it's all tied up,
33:14
Speaker 14: isn't if you're reading and your learning. I mean, if
33:16
Speaker 14: you're just literally doom scrolling. I suppose you know you.
33:19
Speaker 2: Do learn on TikTok. It's not all bad. What's on
33:22
Speaker 2: the show today got Boris Johnson. Not bad, not bad.
33:26
Speaker 14: And there's a story this morning floating about these these
33:30
Speaker 14: military academies. Do you see the POSTCAB conference yesterday? He
33:33
Speaker 14: who likes to spoke pretty eloquently and almost emotionally, I
33:36
Speaker 14: thought about those and he's been to visit them and
33:38
Speaker 14: looked at some of the young people in there. Anyway,
33:40
Speaker 14: the story this morning is the Greens have got hold
33:42
Speaker 14: of some official information and stuff. They haven't passed the
33:46
Speaker 14: legislation yet as to how they're going to run them properly,
33:49
Speaker 14: so it's just a trick.
33:50
Speaker 2: Yeah.
33:50
Speaker 14: But what they're suggesting is that there's a there's a
33:53
Speaker 14: can you use force? Yeah question around it, and if
33:57
Speaker 14: you can use force, are you then going down the
33:59
Speaker 14: whole treating people badly in care? So we'll talk to
34:02
Speaker 14: the Prime minister about that.
34:03
Speaker 2: Brilliant Boris Johnson and the Prime Minister on with Mike.
34:06
