Speaker 1: The issues, the interviews and the insight. Ryan Bridge on
0:05
Speaker 1: early erdship with r the Supercenter, explore r V successories
0:09
Speaker 1: and servicing all in one news talks.
0:12
Speaker 2: That'd be good morning six after five on your Monday morning.
0:14
Speaker 2: Coming up before six, we'll speak to a GP about
0:16
Speaker 2: Labour's low interest loans Gavin Gray in the UK. For US,
0:19
Speaker 2: the F one is on in Kuta and the water
0:22
Speaker 2: bill for councils is in. It's big, it's massive, but
0:26
Speaker 2: is it bigger than three waters? That's the question this morning.
0:30
Speaker 2: The agenda Monday, the first of December. Pinch and a
0:33
Speaker 2: punch Israel netnya who's asking the president there for a pardon.
0:37
Speaker 2: This is for his corruption cases. Yes, there are a
0:39
Speaker 2: few of them. He's spent five years in court. Bribery, fraud,
0:43
Speaker 2: breach of trust, you name it. He denies all of them.
0:46
Speaker 3: For a lot of pressure now on the office of
0:49
Speaker 3: the President. And we have a statement from a President
0:51
Speaker 3: Hartzog's office in which they see that this partner request
0:55
Speaker 3: is extraordinary, it has significant implications and they're promising to
0:58
Speaker 3: consider it. The sponsor unsincerely.
1:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's extraordinary for a couple of reasons. I'll get
1:03
Speaker 2: to those in a second, let's go to Venezuela. Though
1:05
Speaker 2: they are very upset. Manduro is very upset. Trump says
1:09
Speaker 2: the airspace above Venezuela is basically closed, should be considered closed.
1:14
Speaker 2: The Foreign Ministry is calling it illegal and unjustified. The
1:18
Speaker 2: US has been sharpening its strategy in the recent region
1:20
Speaker 2: of late.
1:21
Speaker 4: There's clearly an attempt by the administration to project American
1:24
Speaker 4: power through the Western hemisphere. That's not new historically, but
1:27
Speaker 4: they're backing all of these populist right wing leaders for Brazil, Argentina.
1:33
Speaker 4: The present intervened in the election today in Honduras saying
1:38
Speaker 4: he was going to pardon the former president of Honduras
1:40
Speaker 4: who was guilty, fou and guilty in the US of
1:43
Speaker 4: drugs trafficking.
1:44
Speaker 2: And finally, this morning, Potato Heart Potato. The Wiggles are
1:52
Speaker 2: in hot water after two members appeared in a music
1:55
Speaker 2: video that alluded to drug use. The original Blue Wiggle
1:58
Speaker 2: Anthony Fielders his name and his nephew, Dominic, who apparently
2:01
Speaker 2: plays the Tree of Wisdom. They featured in Kellie Holliday's
2:06
Speaker 2: new track. The title of the song is Ecstasy. That
2:09
Speaker 2: Wiggles say they don't condone drug use and the video
2:12
Speaker 2: was made without their approval.
2:15
Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth
2:18
Speaker 1: analysis earlier edition with Ryan Bridge and are the Supercenter
2:22
Speaker 1: explore r VS, accessories and servicing all in one news talks.
2:26
Speaker 2: AV nine two nine two is the number to text
2:28
Speaker 2: vapings no longer call, which is good. We'll tell you
2:31
Speaker 2: more about the numbers than a second now, just very
2:34
Speaker 2: quickly on net Yahoo in Israel. So the reason that
2:39
Speaker 2: it's contentious is well, not just because you're asking for
2:42
Speaker 2: a pardon for corruption charges, but the fact that he's
2:45
Speaker 2: asking for a pardon before he's actually been convicted of anything,
2:50
Speaker 2: which is highly unusual. They have given presidential pardons in
2:55
Speaker 2: Israel before, but almost never have they granted one before
2:59
Speaker 2: a person has actually been convicted. Preemptive pardon and especially
3:05
Speaker 2: if a politician in a corruption case without them actually
3:08
Speaker 2: admitting guilt first, would be set a new precedent, but
3:13
Speaker 2: also would be very very controversial. By the way, all
3:16
Speaker 2: of these charges that they're talking about this is for
3:18
Speaker 2: political favors from wealthy people and in return you get
3:22
Speaker 2: nice media coverage. That's the allegation. Anyway. Now back to
3:25
Speaker 2: last week, because I just over the weekend was stewing
3:28
Speaker 2: a little bit about this. The Unions and Willow Jen
3:33
Speaker 2: prime Ice had her on the Herald on Friday on
3:36
Speaker 2: our show along with Erica Stamford and there yet last
3:41
Speaker 2: week was what you can only describe as a co
3:43
Speaker 2: ordinated attack on Erica Stamford and the numbers that they
3:48
Speaker 2: came out with for the maths trial that they did,
3:50
Speaker 2: which were fantastic. I mean, why would you not why
3:54
Speaker 2: would you look for a reason to be cynical about them?
3:58
Speaker 2: I mean, I look at my job to be a
4:00
Speaker 2: bit cynical about things, and I often am. But the
4:04
Speaker 2: closer you look, the better it gets with this story.
4:07
Speaker 2: But they weren't interested in that, so they went on
4:09
Speaker 2: and attacked her, and they continued it at the weekend.
4:12
Speaker 2: This is the mass acceleration trial for year seven and
4:15
Speaker 2: eight students. These are kids who need extra support, so
4:18
Speaker 2: they give it to them and have given it to them,
4:21
Speaker 2: and they made a year or two years of progress
4:24
Speaker 2: in twelve weeks by focusing on basic stuff. Okay, and
4:29
Speaker 2: for those who weren't in the acceleration trial, for just
4:31
Speaker 2: regular kids actually just doing an hour a day of maths.
4:35
Speaker 2: They progressed a full year in just twelve weeks, and
4:39
Speaker 2: the unions came out and they said, now this is
4:42
Speaker 2: b Yes, this was rigged essentially, as was their claim,
4:47
Speaker 2: it was a setup. The kids were asked the same
4:50
Speaker 2: question at the start, and then they were asked the
4:52
Speaker 2: same question after twelve weeks, and therefore it was easy
4:57
Speaker 2: and it was all set up for them to do well. Well,
5:00
Speaker 2: Actually what happened was, yes, they were asked the same question.
5:04
Speaker 2: But if just think about that for a second. If
5:06
Speaker 2: you were asked a maths question on week one and
5:09
Speaker 2: then asked to do the same question on week twelve,
5:13
Speaker 2: would you necessarily remember no? If you're a year seven
5:17
Speaker 2: or eight student, would you necessarily remember no? But here's
5:20
Speaker 2: the proof in the pudding. After three months they were
5:25
Speaker 2: asked the same questions again. So the chances of you
5:29
Speaker 2: remembering all of these questions and all of these answers
5:32
Speaker 2: at week one, at week twelve, and then three months
5:34
Speaker 2: after that, which was like a safety check to make
5:37
Speaker 2: sure that the results were actually accurate, I think a
5:41
Speaker 2: slim to none. So for the unions and for the
5:45
Speaker 2: naysayers and the detractors, just sush, go away. Number the
5:49
Speaker 2: good eleven after five, News Talk said b we will
5:53
Speaker 2: get to f one also a potty or amea because
5:56
Speaker 2: the local water had done well. So national's got local
5:59
Speaker 2: water done well. Labor had three waters, which one is
6:03
Speaker 2: more expensive? Well, we'll find out next. News Talk SETB.
6:08
Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Brian
6:12
Speaker 1: Bridge and r V Supercenter explore r these accessories and
6:16
Speaker 1: servicing all in one.
6:18
Speaker 2: News TALKSTB by fourteen some success, it seems on vaping
6:21
Speaker 2: as well for young people. So this is ash a
6:24
Speaker 2: year ten snap shot. So fourteen and fifteen year old
6:27
Speaker 2: smoking and vaping habits. Their daily vape uses dropped from
6:31
Speaker 2: eight point seven percent to seven point one percent. Regular
6:36
Speaker 2: vaping was down to eleven point two percent. That's down
6:39
Speaker 2: from fourteen point one percent, so a pretty significant drop.
6:43
Speaker 2: You'd have to say cigarette smoking while they barely even
6:46
Speaker 2: touch it one point one percent and two point five
6:48
Speaker 2: percent respectively. It's fourteen minutes after five Bryan Bridge, we
6:52
Speaker 2: got new numbers on the cost of local water done well.
6:55
Speaker 2: The government says reforms will cost forty eight billion bucks
6:58
Speaker 2: over the next decade, with thirty and thirty just over
7:01
Speaker 2: thirty billion for waste and storm water. For comparison, Labour's
7:06
Speaker 2: three waters was estimated to cost one hundred and twenty
7:08
Speaker 2: to one hundred and eighty five billion dollars, but that
7:11
Speaker 2: was over thirty years. Anita Baker is the Polydoa mar
7:14
Speaker 2: and joins me this morning, Good morning, good morning. So
7:17
Speaker 2: there's no direct comparison there. It's not apples with apples,
7:20
Speaker 2: because you know one's over ten years, one's over thirty.
7:22
Speaker 2: But in your area, what how much is this going
7:26
Speaker 2: to cost you over the next ten years? Do you
7:28
Speaker 2: have a handle on that yet? And is it going
7:31
Speaker 2: to be more than you think it would have been
7:33
Speaker 2: under an alternative model.
7:35
Speaker 5: I think it's going to be the same on it
7:37
Speaker 5: either model. In the end overhead a better model previously.
7:41
Speaker 5: But as you said, it was ten years. But it's
7:43
Speaker 5: still thirty percent of council's debt moving over to the
7:46
Speaker 5: new water entity, Tucky. And in the long run, it
7:50
Speaker 5: is the rate payer paying because of the under investment
7:53
Speaker 5: we've had on water over the last sixty years.
7:58
Speaker 2: Does this mean so what purpose of a rates increase
8:01
Speaker 2: would you expect to attribute to water?
8:05
Speaker 5: Oh, that's a very good point. We haven't got it
8:07
Speaker 5: down to numbers like that. Because Takiwi will have to
8:11
Speaker 5: set what they're going to charge people, and the problem
8:15
Speaker 5: with that is water is a basic human right and
8:20
Speaker 5: what they need to charge is higher than what probably
8:23
Speaker 5: you can actually afford. At the moment. It's going to
8:26
Speaker 5: be an expensive part of our rate bill because we're
8:28
Speaker 5: not used to it. They've been paying less and we've
8:30
Speaker 5: been under investing.
8:32
Speaker 2: So it'll be a separate bill, totally separate bill.
8:36
Speaker 5: But your rate bill will come down by by thirty
8:38
Speaker 5: percent in the sense that saved thirty percents coming out,
8:42
Speaker 5: but the water bill will come up, so it'll be
8:44
Speaker 5: paying a lot more than you used to.
8:46
Speaker 2: How many of your residents do you think mon't be
8:48
Speaker 2: able to afford water?
8:50
Speaker 5: Well, I think they'll be able to afford it because
8:52
Speaker 5: the Takiway is going to have to make it affordable.
8:55
Speaker 5: Is a human right and we're under regulation economic regulation,
9:00
Speaker 5: so it'll be how quickly can they update all the
9:03
Speaker 5: pipes going forward. I think in this area harmonization is
9:08
Speaker 5: needed because in the Wellington region we're all putting over
9:10
Speaker 5: different amounts of debt and the water comes from one source,
9:14
Speaker 5: so I think that we should all pay the one amount,
9:16
Speaker 5: but that it is discussion with the board.
9:19
Speaker 2: So hang on, so to explain to me how this works,
9:22
Speaker 2: so pottydor, because you guys have always had problems with
9:24
Speaker 2: your pipe. So are you saying that if everyone is paying,
9:30
Speaker 2: if the entity charges everybody the same, then your residents
9:35
Speaker 2: will be worse off because they don't have as much money.
9:40
Speaker 5: Well it really we don't know that, and that's the problem.
9:43
Speaker 5: It could be because of the amount of debt everybody
9:46
Speaker 5: puts across. And that's why we all need to sit
9:48
Speaker 5: down and work this out, because you can't have one
9:50
Speaker 5: city paying a lot more than another one who's paying
9:54
Speaker 5: less because of under investments. So it is definitely a
9:58
Speaker 5: subject that is on the radar.
9:59
Speaker 2: At the moment right now. Appreciate your time this morning
10:01
Speaker 2: to need a baker. They put it into a mere
10:02
Speaker 2: time is eighteen after five Sport next.
10:05
Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition with
10:09
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and are the Supercenter explore are these accessories
10:14
Speaker 1: and servicing?
10:15
Speaker 6: Paul in One News Talk said b five twenty cit
10:17
Speaker 6: there's a ceasefire on in action in Gaza, but apparently
10:21
Speaker 6: not in the UK for the supporters, so dozens of
10:24
Speaker 6: protesters they have been arrested under the Terrorism Act.
10:28
Speaker 2: They've got pro Palestine demonstrations going lots of cities across
10:32
Speaker 2: England at the moment, but particularly last night and over
10:35
Speaker 2: the weekend. So we'll talk about that with Gavin Gray
10:38
Speaker 2: in the UK. Just quarter two six this morning, it's
10:41
Speaker 2: five twenty Ryan Bridge to Adam Cooper's Sport. Good morning, Adam,
10:45
Speaker 2: Hey run, So we've got if one on and cut on.
10:47
Speaker 2: What's going on?
10:48
Speaker 7: Yeah, obviously just underway lap ten of fifty seven, got
10:51
Speaker 7: a bit of a safety car at the moment, Nico
10:53
Speaker 7: Hultenberg sort of spinning out after a bit of contact,
10:56
Speaker 7: but obviously all eyes and this one in particular Ryan
10:59
Speaker 7: on Land. Though Norris a win over his main rivals
11:03
Speaker 7: of course, our teammate Oscar Piastri and Maxwist up and
11:06
Speaker 7: would secure him the twenty twenty five championship with a
11:09
Speaker 7: race to spare. He's not in the lead at the moment.
11:12
Speaker 7: He obviously started second on the grid and maxwist stuff.
11:14
Speaker 7: But even though he was third, he had the sort
11:16
Speaker 7: of the inside channel on the grid, sover Stappin was
11:18
Speaker 7: able to get ahead slightly be the second, being the
11:21
Speaker 7: second place at the moment as a result of the
11:23
Speaker 7: safety card. There's been a few pit stops and things,
11:25
Speaker 7: so Norris second, verst Up in third and Upholster to
11:29
Speaker 7: Piastree still in the lead, so that's probably most of interest.
11:32
Speaker 7: Liam Lawson there or thereabouts eleventh at the moment, obviously
11:35
Speaker 7: started twelfth on the grids. Obviously, the underlying sort of
11:39
Speaker 7: point of interest this weekend with Liam Lawson is that
11:42
Speaker 7: Red Bull seat for next year and what is happening.
11:45
Speaker 7: We've been told for a while now it's sort of
11:47
Speaker 7: going to be decided possibly after this race, so yeah,
11:50
Speaker 7: hopefully he can have the best possible tilt at any
11:53
Speaker 7: final decision as a result of what happens in Kassa
11:55
Speaker 7: this morning.
11:55
Speaker 2: Absolutely right, a bit slippery for Auckland FC and was
12:00
Speaker 2: a bad result too, Yeah, not great to go to.
12:02
Speaker 7: Those weather conditions in Auckland were absolutely treacherous, weren't they.
12:05
Speaker 7: Puddles and really huge pools of water on certain parts
12:09
Speaker 7: of Mount Smart Stadium yesterday. I'd sort of was watching
12:11
Speaker 7: that wondering would this be called off? Would they take
12:14
Speaker 7: a bit of a break while the rain carried on?
12:17
Speaker 7: But they didn't, And yeah, Auckland f C, I'd say
12:20
Speaker 7: that probably slightly concerned after well, by their standards, not
12:25
Speaker 7: a great couple of weeks, obviously, a draw last week,
12:28
Speaker 7: a loss yesterday to Newcastle two to one. This is
12:31
Speaker 7: a team that's, you know, since their inception just over
12:33
Speaker 7: a year ago, has been very used to winning and
12:35
Speaker 7: setting very high standards. And Steve Corker was that their
12:38
Speaker 7: coach wasn't even happy after last week's draw. I can't
12:41
Speaker 7: imagine what his response to his team has been like
12:43
Speaker 7: as a result of their defeat yesterday. Sets up something
12:46
Speaker 7: pretty interesting, Ryan, because as you'll know, the Phoenix who
12:49
Speaker 7: have struggles against Auckland f C and the Kiwi derby's
12:52
Speaker 7: through that the Fords RBS so far well. The Phoenix
12:54
Speaker 7: actually had a win over the weekend, so they've got
12:57
Speaker 7: a bit of confidence behind them. And Auckland FC, i'd
12:59
Speaker 7: say we feeling a little bit under pressure ahead of
13:01
Speaker 7: the derby in Auckland this Saturday, so ready looking forward
13:05
Speaker 7: to that given those results over the weekend.
13:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, hopefully the weather improves. I said it was a
13:08
Speaker 2: bit slippery, but as I looked out the window yesterday
13:10
Speaker 2: I thought, man, then it's bucketing down. I think it's
13:13
Speaker 2: flooded rather than look crazy. It was. Hey, Alice Robinson,
13:17
Speaker 2: this is a great story. Well it continues to be
13:20
Speaker 2: a great story.
13:21
Speaker 7: Yeah, twenty three years old, and you know she's been
13:23
Speaker 7: a prospect in the world of skiing for for some
13:25
Speaker 7: time and you know a lot of people have been
13:27
Speaker 7: following her progress. But you know, she's just delivering some
13:30
Speaker 7: some amazing results. The latest yesterday the Giant Slatom event
13:34
Speaker 7: in Colorado. It was her fifth World Cup victory to
13:38
Speaker 7: start her season. So you know, she's just showing that
13:41
Speaker 7: her skill set, her class is still there up with
13:44
Speaker 7: the world's best.
13:45
Speaker 2: So you know, she's someone.
13:46
Speaker 7: Who's had some up to ups and downs through her career,
13:48
Speaker 7: but she's she stayed strong and obviously took out a
13:51
Speaker 7: pretty convincing when yesterday when you look at some of
13:54
Speaker 7: her results stacked with the other field. So yeah, great
13:56
Speaker 7: result for Alice Robinson. You know, awesome to see that
13:59
Speaker 7: the New Zealand is sort of continuing to produce top
14:02
Speaker 7: quality skiers around the world.
14:04
Speaker 2: Good on you, Adam Adam Cooper for Sport News Talks.
14:07
Speaker 2: Ab It is twenty four minutes half to five the early.
14:10
Speaker 1: Edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio, how It by News.
14:13
Speaker 8: Talks a B.
14:16
Speaker 2: Five twenty six News Talks AB Congratulations, we've made it
14:19
Speaker 2: to summer. We've made it to the end of the year.
14:21
Speaker 2: Were almost there, almost there. It is the first of
14:23
Speaker 2: December and the housing market is once again in the
14:26
Speaker 2: driver's seat for the economy, but not heading in the
14:29
Speaker 2: direction that we're used to, is it. Yes, the recovery
14:32
Speaker 2: is underway, but the brutal truth of twenty twenty five
14:36
Speaker 2: I think was summed up rather well by Sir Bill
14:38
Speaker 2: English in an interview about the current state of play. Basically,
14:42
Speaker 2: this protracted downturn, which for anyone living outside Queenstown or
14:46
Speaker 2: living on a dairy farm has felt about as drawn
14:48
Speaker 2: out and depressing as a COVID lockdown, has been made
14:52
Speaker 2: worse by the housing market, not better. It's not firing
14:56
Speaker 2: back into life like it usually would at this stage
14:58
Speaker 2: of the cycle. The health effect hasn't kicked in, the
15:01
Speaker 2: recoveries taking longer. In the long run, English argues, this
15:06
Speaker 2: is a good thing because supply has been coming on,
15:09
Speaker 2: Planning laws are being changed. You know, we've got intensification
15:12
Speaker 2: coming for the big cities. This should keep prices low
15:16
Speaker 2: or in some cases see them fall. Does that make
15:19
Speaker 2: it any easier to stomach. No, is he right? Probably?
15:23
Speaker 2: If it's happening, this structural shift is going to create
15:27
Speaker 2: headaches for anyone relying on property and a boom in
15:30
Speaker 2: property in order to get rich. Like hmm, I don't
15:34
Speaker 2: know who's relying on property, who's relying on capital gains
15:39
Speaker 2: for money for revenue? Well, hipkins and labor. Of course
15:43
Speaker 2: they were out at the weekend making it rain with cash,
15:47
Speaker 2: this time on GP clinics who apparently can't get bank
15:50
Speaker 2: loans to start practices which are effectively licenses to print money,
15:54
Speaker 2: like the free GP visits for billionaires and the rest
15:57
Speaker 2: of us. The policy relies on revenue from a capital
16:00
Speaker 2: gains tax. What if those gains don't happen, or they
16:04
Speaker 2: don't happen to the extent that they assume that they will.
16:07
Speaker 2: What if the gains look more of the sort that
16:10
Speaker 2: we've seen over the last few years, ie nothing or
16:12
Speaker 2: losses than what? What's that old saying about your mouth
16:17
Speaker 2: writing checks that your ass can't cash. I think that
16:21
Speaker 2: comes into play here. Without those Golden year capital gains increases,
16:26
Speaker 2: it won't just be the economy feeling their loss, but
16:29
Speaker 2: politicians with big spending agendas. Also, twenty eight minutes after
16:34
Speaker 2: five news talks, they'd be now Trump and the Venezuela situation.
16:38
Speaker 2: So what's interesting, Well, there's a couple of interesting things
16:40
Speaker 2: about it, like the fact that they are currently simulating
16:43
Speaker 2: attacks near the Venezuelan border to invade, which is quite dramatic.
16:48
Speaker 2: But one of the things that's interesting is because he
16:50
Speaker 2: has come out with this tweet or the truth social
16:53
Speaker 2: post saying, consider the airspace around Venezuela closed. They can't
16:59
Speaker 2: send no no American airline is going to fly there.
17:01
Speaker 2: But also they can't deport the illegal migrants that they
17:05
Speaker 2: have been two flights a week apparently, and they have
17:09
Speaker 2: had to stop because well, the air space should be
17:12
Speaker 2: considered close. And now you've got a pile of a
17:16
Speaker 2: growing line of migrants, illegal migrants who are not being
17:20
Speaker 2: deported back to Venezuela. We will talk to Gavin Gray
17:23
Speaker 2: out of the UK. I told you the story a
17:25
Speaker 2: couple of months ago about the nuns who had escaped
17:30
Speaker 2: their retirement home and gone back to the convent that
17:33
Speaker 2: they used to inhabit. There's a little update on the nuns,
17:38
Speaker 2: Nuns on the run. I think we called them. Gavin
17:40
Speaker 2: Gray with that and much more News Talks, the b.
17:46
Speaker 1: OH Views and Views you trust to start your day.
17:52
Speaker 1: It's earlier This ship with Ryan Bridge and r V
17:55
Speaker 1: Supercenter explore r v's accessories and servicing. Paul news Talk said.
18:01
Speaker 2: Me twenty four away from the Sex News Talks. Great
18:09
Speaker 2: to have your company. Now, I just want to make
18:10
Speaker 2: clear that we are obligated by law, by contract to
18:14
Speaker 2: play one Christmas song every show. If Mackenzie doesn't do it,
18:18
Speaker 2: she gets fired. So don't hate me. It's going to
18:22
Speaker 2: happen every day until Christmas. Okay, Now we're going to
18:26
Speaker 2: before six o'clock Heed to the UK. They have him
18:29
Speaker 2: big protests. They're still over Gaza, are lots of arrest.
18:32
Speaker 2: We'll talk to Gavin Gray about that. We'll also talk
18:34
Speaker 2: before six to gen Pro. This is GPS about Labor's policy. Well,
18:38
Speaker 2: I find interesting about Labor's policy announcements over the weekend.
18:42
Speaker 2: And they're a big conference in Auckland, big shiny fancy
18:45
Speaker 2: down on the viaduct. They won't do media interviews this morning,
18:49
Speaker 2: so they didn't come on with this show, won't come
18:53
Speaker 2: on with the Herald Show. What's up with that? Like
18:57
Speaker 2: we I think we tried for Verel, we tried for Hipkins,
18:59
Speaker 2: and we try for Barb. No, no, no, it's just
19:02
Speaker 2: a big no no. What because they had a busy
19:05
Speaker 2: weekend and they want to give them a rest. I mean,
19:07
Speaker 2: you've got you've got an election to win next year people,
19:10
Speaker 2: Or is it because the policy is so filled with
19:13
Speaker 2: holes that you could drive truck throughs trucks through that
19:16
Speaker 2: you don't want them to be interviewed by anybody? I
19:18
Speaker 2: don't know. Anyway, they Hapkins does this regular thing tomorrow,
19:22
Speaker 2: so they're saying that that's your opportunity. Anyway. I suppose
19:25
Speaker 2: that leaves it open for Luxeon to come through today
19:28
Speaker 2: and give his reaction, which he will later this morning
19:31
Speaker 2: on hosting. It's twenty two minutes away from six Ryan
19:34
Speaker 2: our reporters around the country Culum and to Eden Collum,
19:36
Speaker 2: Good morning, morning Riot. So the freedom camping rules, the
19:40
Speaker 2: new ones for Queenstown Lakes. What's the deal and who
19:43
Speaker 2: will they benefit? Yeah?
19:46
Speaker 9: Well, look they're kicking today Ryan, and the district council
19:49
Speaker 9: is going to be really clamping down on this so
19:52
Speaker 9: everyone will win. They now require freedom campers to use
19:56
Speaker 9: fifteen designated car park sites from today court. Camping in
20:00
Speaker 9: any other areas, you could face fines of at least
20:03
Speaker 9: four hundred dollars minimum. Campus must also use certified self
20:07
Speaker 9: contained motor vehicles and not stay more than two nights
20:11
Speaker 9: in those places in a thirty day period. The council says,
20:14
Speaker 9: the bilog is then better control. It ensures visitors respect
20:17
Speaker 9: both the community and the environment, and they will be
20:20
Speaker 9: actively monitoring these sites at ryan and also addressing any misconduct.
20:24
Speaker 2: All right, how's the weather.
20:26
Speaker 9: A few showers about in the south here today, southwester
20:28
Speaker 9: east and Eden's high fourteen.
20:30
Speaker 2: Cheers callum, thank you, Claire in christ chur, It's clear,
20:32
Speaker 2: good morning, good morning. Now you've got the mare quite
20:35
Speaker 2: hot under the collar. About the Red Zone land once
20:37
Speaker 2: it's used for housing asap.
20:40
Speaker 10: Yeah, we knew that this was on his mind, but
20:42
Speaker 10: given the fact that he's just started his second term,
20:45
Speaker 10: we thought we'd put it direct to him, and sure enough,
20:47
Speaker 10: he wants it into housing asap. The city Council has
20:51
Speaker 10: nineteen parcels of what they call edge housing land across
20:55
Speaker 10: ten hectares in the Red Zone. That's alongside twenty four
20:58
Speaker 10: hectares of trial housing areas. The Red Zone is around
21:02
Speaker 10: six hundred hectares in size all up. No decisions have
21:06
Speaker 10: been yesh on how or when they may be developed.
21:09
Speaker 10: Of course, some of them are totally out of zone
21:11
Speaker 10: post quake, but some are okay for land. Meyfield Major says,
21:15
Speaker 10: council's got to use this land before looking at any
21:18
Speaker 10: more land outside of christ Church. He says, if that works,
21:22
Speaker 10: then they can look for more. Further, Major is keen
21:25
Speaker 10: to give or lease the land to housing providers like
21:27
Speaker 10: the likes of the Autotahi Community Housing Trust.
21:31
Speaker 2: All right, how's you were the clear some cloudy.
21:33
Speaker 10: Periods if you show was developing this morning southwesterly is
21:36
Speaker 10: turning easterly and the high will be twenty one.
21:39
Speaker 2: Thank you and Maxim Millings and morning Max, good morning.
21:42
Speaker 2: Got a new measles case?
21:43
Speaker 11: There yeah, one new case in the capital. A handful
21:46
Speaker 11: of locations of interest. This is linked to an earlier case.
21:49
Speaker 11: Those locations New World Wakefield Street, the BP in Barrenpoor
21:53
Speaker 11: and New World Newtown. Clearly a loyal New World shopper.
21:56
Speaker 11: Twenty two known cases nationally now since October measles, but
22:01
Speaker 11: twenty one no longer infectious. This is clearly something that's
22:04
Speaker 11: still going, but of course get the vaccine, get your
22:06
Speaker 11: kids the vaccine. And the message is simple, do the
22:08
Speaker 11: right thing if you show any symptoms. How's you wear
22:11
Speaker 11: the max mostly find Today's Stronger Norwesterly's eighteen.
22:14
Speaker 2: The High, thank you and never in Auckland. Good morning
22:17
Speaker 2: there that morning. Now you've got an update from a
22:20
Speaker 2: youth homeless charity. Homelessness charity.
22:23
Speaker 12: Yes, now look this charity. It says, well, look the
22:26
Speaker 12: snapshot of youth homelessness. It's an SOS. Another SOS, shall
22:31
Speaker 12: we say to the government, so kickbacks. First State of
22:34
Speaker 12: the Street report that's come out and it shows that
22:36
Speaker 12: the organization supports more than one hundred and sixty people.
22:39
Speaker 12: This is in the first year of its initiative called
22:42
Speaker 12: the front Door. So it shows half of the people
22:44
Speaker 12: we're experiencing homelessness in Auckland Central and over sixty percent
22:49
Speaker 12: of them will rung A Tahi Maldi as well. So
22:51
Speaker 12: Aaron Hendry, he's the charity founder. He says, Look, the
22:54
Speaker 12: number of children is especially concerning for them, seventeen percent
22:59
Speaker 12: a tum and some of the extreme cases of them
23:02
Speaker 12: sleeping on the.
23:02
Speaker 13: Street or CouchSurfing.
23:04
Speaker 2: Okay, so yeah, all right. How's the weather showers can ring.
23:08
Speaker 2: It's going to be fine today over a lot of
23:11
Speaker 2: rain yesterday, neighbor, wasn't it? Yeah? Did you go to
23:15
Speaker 2: the Santa Parade? No, of course I did, out of
23:18
Speaker 2: the front row.
23:19
Speaker 12: No, but I did. I thought, oh, well, got those
23:21
Speaker 12: kids because they were dancing and no.
23:23
Speaker 2: They were having good time. But what a nightmare getting
23:26
Speaker 2: home after all that rain.
23:28
Speaker 14: I know.
23:29
Speaker 2: RG all right, thanks Neva, and it is eighteen minutes
23:34
Speaker 2: away from six on news Talk, so b we will
23:36
Speaker 2: get to the UK next. You've probably heard me harp
23:38
Speaker 2: on about this performance and results, something I'm always paying
23:42
Speaker 2: attention to, something we should all always pay attention to.
23:45
Speaker 2: The latest independent data from morning Star is worth noting
23:48
Speaker 2: worth the look. Milford's Kiwi Saber funds are number one
23:52
Speaker 2: for performance over the past ten years in the active, growth,
23:56
Speaker 2: balanced and conservative categories, not number two, not number three,
24:00
Speaker 2: number one that is proven long term consistency. You can
24:04
Speaker 2: look for yourself at Morningstar dot com dot au to
24:07
Speaker 2: have a look. Milford's also been recognized with a string
24:10
Speaker 2: of industry awards, including Canstar's Kiwisaver Provider of the Year,
24:14
Speaker 2: Outstanding Value and most satisfied customers. They've won the Consumer
24:19
Speaker 2: People's Choice Award eight years in a row. That is
24:23
Speaker 2: proven performance, for proven performance and happy customers, Milford's worth
24:27
Speaker 2: a look. Changing to Milford takes just a couple of
24:30
Speaker 2: minutes online. Past performance not a reliable indicator of future performance.
24:34
Speaker 2: Milford Funds Limited is the issuer of the Milford keewisab plan.

24:49
Speaker 1: for New Zealand Business.
24:52
Speaker 2: Quarter to six on news talks in b ceasefire and Gaza,
24:56
Speaker 2: but not in the UK for their supporters, it seems.
24:58
Speaker 2: Gavin Gray, a UK europe correspondent with us Kevin, good morning,
25:01
Speaker 2: good evening.
25:02
Speaker 8: To you hither Ryan, Yes, more demonstrations in support of
25:07
Speaker 8: Gaza here, despite the campaign and the ceasefire that has
25:11
Speaker 8: already existed now for several weeks. A group called Defend
25:15
Speaker 8: our Juries organized demonstrations in ten different locations and major cities,
25:21
Speaker 8: among them London, Bristol, Manchester, Birmingham throughout England, with the
25:25
Speaker 8: organizers saying they're protesting against the government's complicity in genocide
25:29
Speaker 8: and against the ban on Palestine Action. Now, Palestine Action
25:32
Speaker 8: was a group that the government decided was categorized as
25:36
Speaker 8: a terrorist organization, and that meant that being a member
25:39
Speaker 8: of or showing support for can lead you spending some
25:43
Speaker 8: considerable time in jail. In Bristol, thirty one were arrested, Manchester,
25:48
Speaker 8: thirty four Birmingham, twenty five, ten in Norwich and more
25:52
Speaker 8: arrested in London two. All this, though, comes at a
25:55
Speaker 8: time when there's currently a court case going on over
25:59
Speaker 8: allegations six members of Palestine Action broke into an Israeli
26:05
Speaker 8: defense firm's UK site and started damaging property inside, and
26:10
Speaker 8: allegations that two police officers were attacked by a sledgehammer,
26:14
Speaker 8: one on her back, which left her unable to get
26:17
Speaker 8: dressed or go to work for several months afterwards.
26:20
Speaker 2: That's terrible. Now to more heavy news. The Austrian nuns.
26:24
Speaker 2: We've been taught the runaway nuns. We've been talking about
26:26
Speaker 2: them for a couple of months now, and there's a
26:28
Speaker 2: wee update.
26:29
Speaker 8: There is Indeed, yes, the runaway nuns, aren't they. Marv's
26:32
Speaker 8: eighty eight year old sister Bernadette, eighty six year old
26:35
Speaker 8: sister Regina, and eighty two year old sister Rita were
26:38
Speaker 8: kicked out of their convent nest Salzburg in Austria when
26:41
Speaker 8: the church said, look, it's no longer a safe building
26:44
Speaker 8: and we think you need to go to a home
26:46
Speaker 8: with assisted living. Well, the nuns went on the run.
26:49
Speaker 8: They left there and managed to get back to the convent,
26:51
Speaker 8: and with the help of their former pupils, because they've
26:54
Speaker 8: all been teachers, and indeed some locksmiths who volunteered, they
26:58
Speaker 8: managed to break back into the convent and said this
27:00
Speaker 8: is where we want to spend the rest of our lives.
27:03
Speaker 8: The church shot back with all yeah, but you might
27:05
Speaker 8: fall on the steep staircase, and the nuns said, we
27:07
Speaker 8: don't care. We'd be happier falling here than we would
27:10
Speaker 8: staying in some sort of a care home. Well, finally
27:13
Speaker 8: the church authorities have said okay, you can stay. However,
27:18
Speaker 8: they have said only if you stop posting on social media.
27:21
Speaker 8: And it's through social media that this group of three
27:24
Speaker 8: nuns have managed to attain such popularity and indeed such support.
27:29
Speaker 8: Rather interestingly, though, it must be said Ryan that in
27:32
Speaker 8: all this support that they are getting. There is as
27:35
Speaker 8: well that general feeling that the church perhaps shouldn't meddle
27:38
Speaker 8: with things that are quite happy as they.
27:41
Speaker 2: Are absolutely givin thank you, Gevin Groaning are UK europe correspondent.
27:45
Speaker 2: It is twelve to six Brian Bridge Labour's promising to
27:49
Speaker 2: offer low interest lines for doctors and nurse practitioners to
27:52
Speaker 2: sit up or buy into a gpre practice. This is
27:55
Speaker 2: from next year, providing there when the election. Of course,
27:58
Speaker 2: up to fifty lines a year focused on communities with
28:01
Speaker 2: no GPS or closed books. According to Hipkins.
28:04
Speaker 3: It'll give doctors and registered health professionals are helping hand
28:08
Speaker 3: and setting up new medical practices.
28:11
Speaker 2: Doctor Angus Chambers is chair of gen Pro joining me
28:14
Speaker 2: this morning, good morning, good morning. Is this a good
28:17
Speaker 2: Is this a necessary or needed policy?
28:21
Speaker 14: Well, we definitely think it's not the merit. I mean
28:24
Speaker 14: it's not going to change the world massively, but it
28:26
Speaker 14: certainly is going to help in some of the areas
28:28
Speaker 14: that we think are quite important.
28:30
Speaker 2: Is getting lending a big problem, Well, look yes it is.
28:37
Speaker 14: I mean there's two sides to it. The prices for
28:39
Speaker 14: general practice has had considerable upper pressure because of the
28:43
Speaker 14: entry of corporates into the market, and they've certainly pushed
28:45
Speaker 14: the price up. And then at the same time, the
28:48
Speaker 14: people who are generally buying practices not always, but they're
28:52
Speaker 14: in this position where they're starting their career. They may
28:55
Speaker 14: easily have mortgages, I'll often have student loans. They've got children,
29:00
Speaker 14: a difficult time to be borrowing considerable amounts of money.
29:03
Speaker 14: So yeah, those two things combined mean it's become more
29:06
Speaker 14: difficult to see those people enter into the general practice teams.
29:10
Speaker 2: Is that a problem? Like, is there something wrong with
29:12
Speaker 2: corporates owning GP practices?
29:16
Speaker 14: Well, I guess that there is some concerns about that,
29:19
Speaker 14: and if you look at the geopolies we have in
29:23
Speaker 14: supermarkets and other areas banks, you start to see that
29:27
Speaker 14: this consumer doesn't really benefit in that in the long term,
29:30
Speaker 14: and I think we are heading towards that. There's some
29:32
Speaker 14: pretty good evidence that there's an inexorable creep of corporates
29:37
Speaker 14: buying practices and less gps owning them. So I think, yes,
29:42
Speaker 14: that that is a problem. The other side of it
29:44
Speaker 14: is our operators due to a great service for their communities,
29:49
Speaker 14: and I think we see some better constitutive care. If
29:52
Speaker 14: you buy into a practice, you tend to stay there
29:53
Speaker 14: for a long time in other ways again, and that
29:56
Speaker 14: actually promotes that kind of relationship thing which is so
29:59
Speaker 14: vital for good outcomes and primary care.
30:02
Speaker 2: Does this you said the prices are the big problem,
30:05
Speaker 2: and the corporate's coming and pushing up the prices. This
30:07
Speaker 2: doesn't bring down the prices, does it? In fact of anything?
30:10
Speaker 2: Does this not encourage price inflation?
30:15
Speaker 14: Look, I think is there already?
30:16
Speaker 9: No?
30:17
Speaker 14: I think it just means that there's a bit that
30:18
Speaker 14: you're better able to these people will be better able
30:21
Speaker 14: to keep compete. So I don't think we'll see the
30:25
Speaker 14: prices go up, but I think it will make it
30:28
Speaker 14: easier for those gps and there's practitioners who want to
30:32
Speaker 14: buy to get into the market. We have certainly seen
30:36
Speaker 14: anecdotal evidence of people having to walk away because they
30:39
Speaker 14: can't compete. So yeah, we think that's helpful.
30:41
Speaker 2: All right, fair enough? Does it? What do you think
30:43
Speaker 2: they're going to do? Labor on the staffing issue, because
30:46
Speaker 2: that's the other big problem of course, isn't it is
30:47
Speaker 2: actually getting gps in the door to do the work
30:50
Speaker 2: we need them to do.
30:52
Speaker 14: Yeah, lookin we've got a long way to go. On that.
30:55
Speaker 14: I mean, I think this will also help a bit
30:57
Speaker 14: because getting people into practic ownership, you might call them
31:01
Speaker 14: slightly golden handcuffs. It gets people in there and retains them.
31:05
Speaker 14: But yeah, there's a long way to go on the staffing.
31:07
Speaker 14: So you know, we've had quite a few initiatives over
31:11
Speaker 14: the last couple of three years of more training places
31:14
Speaker 14: for general practitioners. You know, we're looking at the medical school,
31:19
Speaker 14: but you know that's going to be a long time
31:21
Speaker 14: before it produces adopters. So the staffing issue is still
31:25
Speaker 14: really problematic, and in the end, retaining our existing staff
31:30
Speaker 14: is one of the best strategies we've got to that
31:32
Speaker 14: and that unfortunately comes back to the funding issues that
31:34
Speaker 14: we've have been raised many times in the area.
31:38
Speaker 2: And Gus appreciate your time this morning. Thank you. Angus Chambers,
31:41
Speaker 2: who is chair of gen Pro. It's eight to six

Speaker 13: watching this this morning is it's a boring race, so
33:02
Speaker 13: it's not actually worth watching.
33:03
Speaker 2: Well, I'm glad we've admitted that.
33:04
Speaker 13: No, No, it's a boring race because of the track.
33:06
Speaker 13: And the track is such a spectacular track because it's
33:09
Speaker 13: built with oil money in the Middle East. They've made
33:11
Speaker 13: just a glorious track. But the problem is that there's
33:14
Speaker 13: two perfect there's no overtaking, and there's three corners that
33:18
Speaker 13: are so fast that they've limited and this is the
33:22
Speaker 13: only race that happens this year. They've limited the number
33:24
Speaker 13: of laps you can do on a set of tires
33:26
Speaker 13: to twenty five laps, because if you go any further
33:29
Speaker 13: than twenty five, probably won't stand behind the tire anymore.
33:32
Speaker 13: Because the pressure on the tire going around the corner
33:34
Speaker 13: is eleven twelve or thirteen or twelve thirteen forty whatever
33:37
Speaker 13: they are. You're going so fast around the corner the
33:40
Speaker 13: tires can't cope with it.
33:41
Speaker 2: After twenty five they would blow up, they'd explode, and
33:45
Speaker 2: your car would crash exactly.
33:46
Speaker 13: So the thing that makes it semi interesting is that
33:49
Speaker 13: you're forced to pit at least twice, so in pitting
33:53
Speaker 13: at least twice.
33:54
Speaker 2: What's interesting about someone pitting, well, because anything can happen,
33:58
Speaker 2: because then you've got to take off.
33:59
Speaker 13: You've got to go slow, you got to get you know, that's.
34:02
Speaker 2: About lame, Isn't that? The exciting bet is watching them
34:05
Speaker 2: stop and start again?
34:07
Speaker 13: Well yeah, I suppose all right, all run into each
34:09
Speaker 13: other a couple of running into each other. But anyway,
34:11
Speaker 13: so that's.
