• 1:34

• 2:16
  Speaker 2: the number to text. But basically, Lando Norris and Oscar

  Speaker 2: cars after the race and the tiles were too bald basically,

• 2:40
  Speaker 2: his hand up and he said I'm sorry. He said

• 2:46
  Speaker 2: lap collision with Piastre that ruined his chance at the
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Grand Prix.
• 2:52
  Speaker 7: Is not through for Stafford leeds Hell, the last Oh
• 2:55
  Speaker 7: that was aggressive, wasn't that he just had enough space.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: To do that. Quite a bit of take to the
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: middle of the factory.
• 3:01
  Speaker 7: It was Lawson on ps real he was seeming at him.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, coming in a way too hot. Oh, I'm the
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: same for laws in that yeah. And for Lawson. Another
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: close call with a marshal for the second time in
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: the last three races, though this one wasn't quite scary.
• 3:16
  Speaker 8: That's just about have the same thing with the.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Senate.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: But you just chomped from Andrew Ordison will give us
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: all the details shortly. Now this key we save a
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: business and no surprise that National's doing this. In fact,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: I told you National was going to do this. But
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: it's not that big of a deal for you know,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: I just heard in the news there somebody was talking
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: about cost of living and how can businesses afforded, et cetera. Yes,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: it is going to be expense because it's covered not
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: just by you the employee, but also matched by the
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: employer up to six percent a piece. Now, none of
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: it kicks in. So even though you will vote for
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: it next year, and let's say say yeah, I want that,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I'll vote for National, National becomes the next government, they
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: have to negotiate with their coalition partners, and even if
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: at best they get what they want, it doesn't kick
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: in until twenty twenty nine. So your first half a
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: percent won't happen until about June twenty twenty nine, so
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: there's time to prepare, and you know, fingers crossed, I'm
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: praying I didn't go to church yesterday, but I'm praying
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: that we will be out of a cost of living
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: crisis by then. Surely. The other thing to note is
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: that the Australians, because of their super schemes, have about
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: four trillion dollars in retirement savings. Our key we saver
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: balances combined right now, despite our best efforts, one hundred
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: and thirty billion. So we're just miles away from each other.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Couple of other predictions to you this week Thursday. Sorry, yes, Wednesday.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Actually we're getting an OCR decision. We will get a cut.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Thursday is the deadline for this Ukraine Russia deal that
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Trump's put forward. That won't happen. So you'll get your
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: OCR cut, but you won't get you I'm sorry. Peace
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: in Ukraine.

• 5:39
  Speaker 1: accessories and servicing all in one news talks edb.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Go to any open homes on the weekend fourteen minutes
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: after five big jump in auction activity over the last week.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Interest dock Co dot Z monitors this is quite handy.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: So in the last week, five hundred and thirty residential
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: property options that's fifteenth to the twenty first of November.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: That's up from four hundred and thirty six previous week
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: four hundred and sixty six the week before that. Anything
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: over five hundred suggests that the market is in peak
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: selling mode. So we are in peak summer rush selling
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: mode at the moment. Two hundred of the five hundred
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: or thirty that we went up, two hundred and twenty
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: four sold under the hammer, so that's a sales rate
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: of about forty two percent compared to forty percent for
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: the week prior. Sixty one percent of those that sold
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: achieved they were either equal to or above their RV
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Ryan Bridge. The trucking industry wants tougher rules for unsafe vehicles.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: An Auckland driver was jailed for manslaughterer after his banned
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: truck with failed brakes killed a road worker. Billy Clemens
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: is with transporting en Z joins me this morning. Get
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: a Billy, I killed a Ryan. So this was a
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: pretty devastating case, wasn't it. So guy basically has a
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: dodgy truck and then breaks fail and it rolls and
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: hits a road worker.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely. Look, I'd just like to start by offering
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: my condolences to the final of Jonathan Walters, who was
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: the road worker year who was killed. This was a case.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: This death resulted after a truck's breaks failed. The operator
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: and driver of this truck, mister Ali, knew that the
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: vehicle had breaking issues and the vehicle that actually been
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: subject to to non operation orders prior to this event.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Despite this, mister Ali had actually gone ahead and obtained
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: new registration plates for this vehicle that he knew to
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: be unsafe, and went and made modifications so it could
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: complete further work. And the judge described this as grossly,
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: grossly reckless and it's had really tragic consequences for mister
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: Walters and his family.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: What do you want changed? What could fix that?
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah? I think there's three really important things to be
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: helpful here. So firstly, would be actually be a more
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: rigorous process to who's permitted to operate a road freight
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: transport business is in the first place, So in order
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: to operate a good transport business you need to hold
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: a TSL license. And we were actually transporting New Zealand
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: or at Select Committee last month making the point that
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: there's the barriers to entry to the industry are probably
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: too low. There needs to be a more rigorous assessment
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: before a person's in a situation where they have the
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: responsibility of running a company. Secondly, once people are operating,
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: we need to make sure that ZTA and police have
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: the necessary compliance tools that they need to get unsafe
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: drivers and vehicles off the road. And this can include
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: looking at the ability for MSTA and police to impound
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: heavy vehicles in more situations and more easily, but also
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: everything from cracking down on im peered driving, drug driving,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: just things that will provide the public confidence that the
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: road freight industries operating safely. We know the vast majority
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: of operators do.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: When you say finally, sorry, yeah, when you say too
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: easy to be able to get a license and to operate,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: how easy is it?
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah? The Transport service license can be applied for through ZTA,
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: it's not a particularly rigorous assessment. What we'd like to
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: do is that before you before you're issued that license,
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: there should be a demonstration that you have the necessary skills,
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: you have experience within operating within the industry and the
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: particular sector of roadstrate that you're operating in.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: So, Billy, do you just do some kind of online
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: fill in some online form get your license. Do you
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: have to sit with an instructor and do a test?
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: No, No, it's a theory. Yeah, it's a it's a
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: it's a theory test that gets passed rather than a
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: practical examination of your skills or business assessment.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Is that for a big big trucks too?
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. So what we think that that's correct.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: So I think what needs to happen is that there
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: needs to be an ass that actually looks at what's
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: the scale of the business that you intend to operate,
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: how many vehicles exactly the size and scale of the
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: vehicles that you're looking at operating. And also tsl's at
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: the moment don't have a fixed date of expiry, So
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: MZTA has the ability to withdraw a TSL license if
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: it hasn't been used to activated within the last two years,
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: but that doesn't happen sort of automatically as of right
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: so we know that Ministry of Transports had a thorough
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: review of the TSL program as sort of work it
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: wants to do on its books. Since I understand from
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: one so years ago, we think it would be a
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: great action for MOT and MZTA to take to get
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: this thorough review underway. I'm not sure that we've got
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: the right people operating road freight businesses.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Sounds like it needs to happen, but it sounds a
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: little bit like a weekbooks container license. Nineteen minutes half
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: to five. You're on News Talk CB Andrew's here with
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Sport next. Lots of texts on that too.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on earlier with Brian Bridge
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: and r the Supercenter explore r v's accessories and servicing
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: all in one News Talk sa'd be good.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Text here five twenty one from one of our listeners
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: this morning, Good morning. The TEARSL is simply the license
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: you need to carry freight on a truck. All drivers
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: and operators need to have completed the practical and theory
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: test related to the size of a vehicle they are
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: driving just like you would have to do with a car,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: which is interesting stuff. And lots of text about Liam
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Lawson too. Ryan loved the kid. But after that drive,
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Liam will be lucky to drive a taxi next year. Ryan,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: I feel sorry for Liam Lawson because every time his
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: car goes into the pit during the race, something goes
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: wrong with his car. And the last race that was
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: mentioned that the tires on his car weren't really suited
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: to the track as a bit due to the heat
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: on it. It is five twenty two, Ryan Bridge, here
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: was support what happened.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: Greetings, Ryan, I can just feel I mean, I think
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: appropriately enough. I think it was Denny Hoole, New Zealand's
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: only for me to one, whether in the past or
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: cheap winner, who said that every time we went on
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: the track later in his currently you could feel like
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: fifty thousand lawn I was coming out to mow down
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: the tall poppy and get that feeling about laws and
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: here maybe we're doing this and he's still achieving an
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: exceptional level. But yeah, a difficulty there in Las Vegas,
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: especially starting from sixth I mean it's just that that, Yeah,
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: it's pretty pretty ruthless as we've seen overnight, and I've
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: even printed this out here because I'm just not sure
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: about what a skid block is and I'm not enough
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: of a petrol head. But Oscar Piastre Land of Norris Course,
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: Landon Dorris leading the championship for McLaren and Pastree is
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: in the second they've been disqualified and that means that
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: makes us STARp and now in line is just twenty
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: four points back off the lead Pastry and we're starting
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: together on three sixty six points Norris on three hundred
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: and ninety and given it it's twenty five points for
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: a win, there's two races left in the season. It
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: is wide open for me.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: One championship. Well that's exciting, isn't it It is.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: I think we're going to be, you know, thrill by
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: what's going to be taking places next to so races
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: in Abu Dhabi is the final race and then cutter
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: as well.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Nine millimeters thickness, that's the if anything below that and
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: you're out.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: Basically that's why you start with ten apparently ten milimeters
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: on your rears good block and there's a variation across
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: a race of one millimeter and then if it goes
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: beyond that. I think they were one point h seven
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: one point one two. That means that that you're.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Out, because that means you can go faster. I think
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: the older you are, the faster you are.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: And what I understand in my reading this morning's aerodynamics.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Like women's sh shaving their legs. Yep, okay, we.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: Add that those skin suits or something you know, got yeah,
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: that's just yeah. I mean, I'm not technically mind enough
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: about it, but that's apparently what what happens. But the
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: context of it is that the World Championships are there
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: for the taking for still three drivers.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Now the all Blacks and Whales.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: I remember the haze of the fireworks under a roof
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: still that I was like, oh no, anyway, it's been
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: a bit of a haze has space over the season
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: by all black standards. What ten wins, three losses. Just
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: hearing Jason Ryan this morning talking about, yeah, they brought
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: through some talent. I think nineteen players said they've added
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: over the last two seasons. I guess exceptional ones being
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: Fabian holland Peter Luckeye from this year, Wallace, the Titi
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: sell of the mixed, but I mean disciplinary problems yellow cards,
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: et cetera. He's given quite a frank and candid analysis
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: of where they're at. But yeah, well I guess a
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: convincing went over over Wales, but the grand slam eluding
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: them with England very quickly.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: We heard a comical ashes we did.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: I mean it was just extraordinary went by in the
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: bed of an island.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Really, I mean, just to be.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: Over in two days, and I think there's been what
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: twenty six tests have been on that in the history
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: of test crick that's about one percent of all tests
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: finished inside two days. Just given the whole that has
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: been built up around the seases. I mean, it's such
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: a cavalier approach from England with the bat and then
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: Travis Head just delivering. And I just the upshot of
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: this too from a commercial point of view. They've lost
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: two days exactly, at least days three and four apparently
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: about three million dollars worth of revenue.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: And my pre upset Ryan, I can imagine my friend's
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: on a flight from London now miss it that will
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: that that eous bringing work mates over from the UK and.
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: This is so anticipated the series and for it to
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: finished in that fashion, I mean entertaining as it was,
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: but I'm not sure that it was the greatest versement
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: for the longest form of the game.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: There game, It wasn't twenty six after five Thank you
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Andrew Ortison was sport. You're on news TALKSB the early.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Edition full the show podcast on iHeartRadio Power by News
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Talks B.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Five Eight's a lot of strikes on at the moment
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: in the unions. Well, they change like wounded bulls for
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: their services, don't they Some of them up to fifty
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: bucks a fortnight for the privilege, and they claim that
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: they're in it for the workers. Of course they do.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: They care about them, they want to pay the conditions,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: they want them to be better. They've worked their way
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: up the union ranks to help those at the bottom, etc. Etc.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: But then once they get a bit of a profile,
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: they jump ship and where do they go? The Labor Party.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: They're good mates and Craig Rennie he fits the bill
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: for this. He flits between the CETU and Grant Robertson's office,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: and he's been now selected to run in Wellington. Bas
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: flurfits Simons, who tried but failed to get elected for Labor.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: She's surely going to try and weasel her way back
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: and onto the list somewhere. Michael Wood he wants back in.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Can't get enough of it. You see, Unions are simply
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: not the premier league for these guys, are they. They're
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: the equivalent of the bench for the labor Caucus. It's
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: the place you go to keep your profile up while
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: you wait for another turn. It's sucking from the public
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: tit and there's nothing particularly wrong with this. But if
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: you're a low wage worker who believes these people are
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: your champions and are in it for you, for negotiating
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: hard with your employees, for doing the muhi, and then
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: you realize actually they've just been using this as a
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: bit of a flight path to feather their nest at
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: the beehive. Wouldn't you be a bit pissed off with that?
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: I would be. Not all union members are lefties after all,
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Sure many of them are, but most just want a
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: fair deal and a decent spokesperson, not a bunch of
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: political wannabes doing dress ups waiting for their time in
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: the National spotlight news talks. He'd be.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: We're in the UK on your radio and online on
• 17:29

• 17:38
  Speaker 2: News Talks at B twenty four away from Sexier on
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: News Talks VB for your Monday morning. Great to have
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: your company. We'll look at these key WESAB changes before six. Also,
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: the deal with Ukraine and Russia organized by Trump not
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: going to happen on Thursday, I don't think, and Trump
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: is now lashing Ukraine again. Zelenski's out tweeting we'll have
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: more on that with Gavin Gray out of the UK.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: The key we say a thing. Total remuneration packages are
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: apparently going to become a problem because what employeers will
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: do is say, oh, yeah, we could give you that
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: you know, top rate of six percent. You pay six percent,
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: we add six percent, there's your twelve percent, or we
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: could give you that money up front now and you go, well,
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: of course, I have the money in my pocket right now.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: And so that actually disincentivizes you from saving for your
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: retirement because who wants to wait until they're sixty five?
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: You know, this is the thought process of a young person.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: So is it going to do what it says it'll do.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about that before six. Brian Bradley, our reporters
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: around the country. Callum Procter and Dnedan Callum, good morning,
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: morning riots. You've got some smarter tech for Dunedin Hospital.
• 18:45
  Speaker 9: Here, for the new outpatient building which will open into
• 18:48
  Speaker 9: Needa next year, a digital health design lab's been set up.
• 18:52
  Speaker 9: It's just a cross from this new build. It's this
• 18:54
  Speaker 9: is this lab. It's trialing equipment such as a new
• 18:57
  Speaker 9: digital booking system, digital signage for directions around the new
• 19:02
  Speaker 9: building and journey boards as well with real time updates
• 19:05
  Speaker 9: on appointments and patient flow. Health New Zealand says it
• 19:08
  Speaker 9: will improve accuracy, bring faster access to information and also
• 19:12
  Speaker 9: reduce staff workload. The new hospital has a digital program director.
• 19:16
  Speaker 9: He's Philed Baskerville. He says this system will make communication
• 19:19
  Speaker 9: faster and clearer.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Right across the hospital. All right, how's your weather?
• 19:23
  Speaker 9: Mostly fine nor easterly this afternoon fifteen the high cheers.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Callum, Hey clear, good morning. What's happening there? People getting
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: business is getting broken into?
• 19:32
  Speaker 10: Yeah, Well, there was a massive ninety minute crime spree
• 19:35
  Speaker 10: in christ Church yesterday morning. So multiple businesses across six
• 19:39
  Speaker 10: different suburbs were hit by what police say were a
• 19:42
  Speaker 10: group of youths This happened between the hours of four
• 19:44
  Speaker 10: and five thirty am. They were alluded to these burglaries
• 19:48
  Speaker 10: ranging from sort of the suburbs of Halls will Ricket
• 19:51
  Speaker 10: in Addington to the other side of town and Waltham too.
• 19:54
  Speaker 10: The alleged youth offenders used a number of stolen vehicles
• 19:57
  Speaker 10: to unlawfully gain entry to the premises, i e. They
• 20:00
  Speaker 10: ram rated them. It's believed that they took multiple items
• 20:04
  Speaker 10: from different locations and perhaps some insight into the age
• 20:07
  Speaker 10: of these offenders was that multiple food items were taken,
• 20:11
  Speaker 10: including potato chips and some brownies. Police do say that
• 20:14
  Speaker 10: the youths have fled in some more stolen vehicles they reckon.
• 20:18
  Speaker 10: They've also intentionally driven in a dangerous manner, which is
• 20:21
  Speaker 10: apparently because they know police will not pursue them due
• 20:24
  Speaker 10: to the risk. The inquiries into the burglaries are ongoing.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: Oh makes you mad, doesn't it. How's your weathering?
• 20:30
  Speaker 10: Cloudy with the odd shower clearing of it. Nater south
• 20:32
  Speaker 10: easterly is turning northeast and the high will be fourteen.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: All for some potato chips? Thanks clear himax morning, good weekend. Yeah,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: pretty quiet.
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: One of those in between weekends.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: Okay, what's going on with the bars giving away a
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: bar tab and they'll close your bar down?
• 20:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah, So this is a Dakota bar and courtney place
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: which runs a weekly pub quiz. One hundred and fifty
• 20:54
  Speaker 7: dollars worth of bar tabs up for grabs. I probably
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: shouldn't fully admit this, but used to go to the
• 20:59
  Speaker 7: pub quiz every week or two until a few months ago.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Apparently you can't do that.
• 21:02
  Speaker 7: You can't advertise bar tabs as a prize or promotions
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: that encourage excessive drinking or offer free alcohol. But don't
• 21:09
  Speaker 7: all pub quizzes do that? I'm not sure Anyway, The
• 21:13
  Speaker 7: owners had a number of run ins with a city council.
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: He says he's being targeted by an overly judicious committee
• 21:19
  Speaker 7: and chief licensing inspector who wants the cancelation outright of
• 21:23
  Speaker 7: the venue's license. The council says the bar's language appears
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: to offer free alcohol and promoting excessive consumption. So there's
• 21:31
  Speaker 7: one hundred and fifty dollars worth of bar tabs up
• 21:33
  Speaker 7: for grabs, probably on the side of the bar here.
• 21:35
  Speaker 7: The top prize is seventy five dollars. Let's say the
• 21:38
  Speaker 7: quiz team is made up of five players. That's basically
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: just a free drink each, which is hardly excessive. And
• 21:43
  Speaker 7: the city council, of course, does have history trying to
• 21:46
  Speaker 7: stop bars, clubs, etc. Operating full stop on Courtney Place.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Now they're doing anything they can to stop people from
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: going there. So it's not free alcohol because you have
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: to win something to get it right. Exactly stupid. How's
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: your them cloudy today?
• 22:01
  Speaker 7: With the odd shower seventeen?
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: They thank you. I'm sick to death of these Welser
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: bureaucrap people. Yes, like there are so many examples of
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: this now and the owly you can't have that. You
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: have to have labeling on this, you have to can't
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: sell that. And look what's happening to young people? They're
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: all depressed.
• 22:18
  Speaker 11: What about old people are depressed to you?
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because people used to go out and socialize, have
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: a drink at a bar and socialize and eye to
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: eye have a conversation. Right now they're at home on
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: their phones, just depressed and anxious and a ball in
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: the corner. You don't go into a.
• 22:34
  Speaker 11: Pub, quarse. I was just thinking Max would be quite
• 22:36
  Speaker 11: good in a pub.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Quarse it'd be great go to Dakota. Good morning, Neva.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: How are you hey. Great weather on the weekend.
• 22:44
  Speaker 11: Wasn't as beautiful.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: I've been doing work on the house out and about.
• 22:50
  Speaker 11: You look very tense.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you got a good ten.
• 22:54
  Speaker 11: As brown as me.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: That's saying something. Politics here in the City of Sales,
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: they're wanting real action on housing.
• 23:04
  Speaker 11: Yeah, this is going to upset you. This is this
• 23:05
  Speaker 11: We're just talking about this homeless issue again here in Auckland.
• 23:09
  Speaker 11: So there's been an open letter. So the Auckland politicians organizations, Yes,
• 23:13
  Speaker 11: you're quite right, they want re election, so they've penned
• 23:17
  Speaker 11: this open letter criticizing the government's proposed ban. This is
• 23:20
  Speaker 11: on the homeless people in the CBD here is pushing
• 23:23
  Speaker 11: for a return of emergency housing, funding for outreach services
• 23:26
  Speaker 11: public housing. So the person who's come out to talk
• 23:29
  Speaker 11: about this as Vanessa Cole, who is the Action Station
• 23:33
  Speaker 11: Housing campaigner. So, I mean, we've heard all of this before,
• 23:37
  Speaker 11: haven't we. She's saying this ban would force people into
• 23:40
  Speaker 11: other parts of the city, potentially further away from support.
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: What do you do?
• 23:44
  Speaker 10: What do you do?
• 23:46
  Speaker 11: She's saying, come on, come on, is this some real answer?
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: And also another open letter.
• 23:50
  Speaker 11: You know, funny you should say I was in the
• 23:52
  Speaker 11: newsroom before saying open letter. Everyone's doing an open letter.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: Give me a closed one and I'll be interested until
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: then is a block? How's our with us in more
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: of the good stuff?
• 24:04
  Speaker 11: Yes, fine, fine, five just a chance of a show.
• 24:07
  Speaker 11: But year heaps of good stuff.
• 24:09
  Speaker 12: Yere twenty one is a highs.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: By the end of the summer, I'll be Neva Brown
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: been away from Sexty's TALKSIB News Talks EB. It is
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: quarter to six.
• 24:19
  Speaker 8: Now.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: Marjorie Taylor Green, or as Trump calls her, Marjorie Traitor Green,
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: has quit. She's quit in Congress. This is the one
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: that the peroxide blonde mega hat wearing one you can't miss.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: So she came into the Mega movement because she was
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: anti establishment. She says, the problem is now MAGA has
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: become the establishment. So she'll go off and do something else,
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: presumably outside of it.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: International correspondence with ins andn Eye Insurance, Peace of mind
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: for New Zealand business.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: It's big meeting in Geneva, going on over the war
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: in Ukraine, joining us, Gavin Gray, Gavin Progress.
• 24:53
  Speaker 12: No, not really, not that we know of. At the moment.
• 24:56
  Speaker 12: So this is a meeting between security staff of being
• 25:00
  Speaker 12: called the G three or the E three Britain, France
• 25:03
  Speaker 12: and Germany, and then meeting currently the European Union, US
• 25:06
  Speaker 12: and Ukrainian officials for further discussions on Donald Trump's plans. Incidentally,
• 25:11
  Speaker 12: he said about his twenty eight point peace plan that
• 25:15
  Speaker 12: Ukraine leadership has expressed a zero gratitude towards him and
• 25:20
  Speaker 12: America thus far, and that kind of ops the ante.
• 25:23
  Speaker 12: Having said that not everything in this twenty eight point
• 25:26
  Speaker 12: plan was written in stone and that there weren't anything
• 25:30
  Speaker 12: that could have been debated. Now suggesting that Ukraine has
• 25:34
  Speaker 12: not been coming forward in its gratitude, I'm afraid further
• 25:38
  Speaker 12: muddies the water. And what the Europeans are doing is
• 25:41
  Speaker 12: constantly playing catch up to what's been presented to them.
• 25:44
  Speaker 12: Are they going to be able to have us say
• 25:46
  Speaker 12: on things, Well, they might be able to tweak one
• 25:48
  Speaker 12: or two things. I think by and large, the deal
• 25:50
  Speaker 12: that Trump has outlined is the deal that is on offer.
• 25:54
  Speaker 12: It's whether that a lot of Mezzelenski and Ukraine takes
• 25:57
  Speaker 12: it or not, but certainly Europe trying to flex its mass.
• 26:00
  Speaker 12: I think trying to give guarantees over the future security
• 26:03
  Speaker 12: of Ukraine in whatever shape that country may take. That
• 26:06
  Speaker 12: they certainly look to be very much on the back
• 26:08
  Speaker 12: foot of rather behind the curve when it comes to
• 26:11
  Speaker 12: this piece deal.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: All right, we won't hold out of breath for a
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: deal by Thursday. Now what Starma got to do with this?
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, the US Congress wanted Andrew mount betten Windsor
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: as we now call him, to appear before Congress. He
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: didn't reply in that upstate and now Stamer is involved.
• 26:28
  Speaker 12: Yes, so this is all that the US Congress wanted
• 26:31
  Speaker 12: to speak to him about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
• 26:34
  Speaker 12: They're investigating everyone Jeffrey Epstein knew, and they're trying to
• 26:39
  Speaker 12: get a bigger handle therefore of who might have been
• 26:41
  Speaker 12: involved in the various scandals that were circulated around the
• 26:46
  Speaker 12: late disgraced financier and sexual abuser Jeffrey Epstein. So, of
• 26:50
  Speaker 12: course Prince Andrew was given a deadline. He has not
• 26:53
  Speaker 12: responded to that at all, and plenty in the US
• 26:56
  Speaker 12: Congress thinking that is rude. But on a recent trips
• 27:00
  Speaker 12: a kirs Starmer, the British Prime Minister was asked about
• 27:03
  Speaker 12: this idea about people and the Congress. Inquiring to Epstein
• 27:09
  Speaker 12: and he said, well, you know, as a rule of thumb,
• 27:11
  Speaker 12: basically anyone with information should come forward. Then, when asked
• 27:15
  Speaker 12: principally what about the former Prince Andrew or Andrew mount
• 27:19
  Speaker 12: Batan Windsor, he said, well, I can't comment on this
• 27:22
  Speaker 12: particular case, but then added a general principle I've heard
• 27:25
  Speaker 12: for a very long time is that anybody who's got
• 27:27
  Speaker 12: relevant information and relating to these kinds of cases should
• 27:30
  Speaker 12: give that evidence to those that need it, thereby implying, well, actually,
• 27:35
  Speaker 12: Prince Andrew does have something to answer or Andrew mount
• 27:38
  Speaker 12: Batan Windsor, so he's really been caught up rather unwisely
• 27:43
  Speaker 12: in a row between politics, the US Congress, British politics,
• 27:47
  Speaker 12: and also the royal family, and those three do not
• 27:49
  Speaker 12: tend to mix terribly.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Well, Gevin, thank you. Devin Gray are UK europe correspondent
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: to Living to.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Six Bryan Bridge.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Nationals dropped ats first election promise it once to lift
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: the fault? Can we save a rate to twelve percent
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: by twenty thirty two to match the Aussies, Employer contributions
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: were jumped to six percent, increasing by half a percent
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: each year, but not until twenty twenty nine. Claire Matthews
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: is Associate Professor, Mass University Business School. Claire good morning,
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Ryan, good thing.
• 28:18
  Speaker 8: Well, yes, and though yes, it's good to see key
• 28:22
  Speaker 8: We Saver rates rise, but to see it done in
• 28:25
  Speaker 8: this way is not necessarily the best way.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: What's wrong with this way?
• 28:31
  Speaker 8: It's a little bit piecemeal. We need to actually think
• 28:33
  Speaker 8: about can we save it in bigger terms and think
• 28:37
  Speaker 8: about actually, if we're going to make some changes, how
• 28:40
  Speaker 8: do we want it to log And yes, one of
• 28:42
  Speaker 8: those changes might be to their default rate, but that
• 28:45
  Speaker 8: should be part of a bigger picture, not a single change.
• 28:49
  Speaker 8: There are other changes that need to be made, which
• 28:52
  Speaker 8: came out in the Retirement Commissioner's Report on the Review
• 28:56
  Speaker 8: of Retirement Income last week or the week before. There's
• 29:00
  Speaker 8: things like total remuneration contributions for over sixty five year olds.
• 29:06
  Speaker 8: Those are just a couple of things, but it's looking
• 29:08
  Speaker 8: at it in a bigger way. And the other issue
• 29:10
  Speaker 8: is that if people think it's too high because you're
• 29:14
  Speaker 8: not compelled to be a member of Key We Save,
• 29:16
  Speaker 8: but they'll just say or to continue to contribute, they'll
• 29:20
  Speaker 8: just say I can't afford this, I'll put it off hold,
• 29:22
  Speaker 8: and therefore then they're not contributing anything, which is actually
• 29:25
  Speaker 8: a worse situation.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: It's basically choose your own adventure. You can choose to
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: be in it or not be in it, and you
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: can choose which rate you go with. So what the
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: total remuneration issue has been raised with me before, So
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: tell me how this works. An employer will say, yeah,
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: we could do the OT six percent rate and match
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: your six percent rate, or we could give you the
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: money now in hand.
• 29:47
  Speaker 8: Basically that's how it works. Yeah, so instead of putting
• 29:50
  Speaker 8: it into your KEI Savior, they say, we'll give it
• 29:52
  Speaker 8: to you, and then it's your responsibility to put it
• 29:54
  Speaker 8: into your KEII saver or put it somewhere else. But
• 29:57
  Speaker 8: you're not actually going to get it as an extra
• 30:00
  Speaker 8: your salary. It's put into your salary. There's fine for
• 30:03
  Speaker 8: some very high earning employees are your chief executives and
• 30:08
  Speaker 8: C suite people, but it's where it gets supplied to everybody,
• 30:13
  Speaker 8: and CEOs isn't like have a bit more power in
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: terms of their relationship with their employer. But some employers
• 30:22
  Speaker 8: do this to people who really have no power in
• 30:24
  Speaker 8: their relationship, and they've really got no choice but to
• 30:27
  Speaker 8: go along with it, even though it's not in their
• 30:29
  Speaker 8: best interest or what they want.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: Does it not have the same in terms of financial outlay?
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: Would it be no different for the employer whether they're
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: paying into a KIPI saver or giving them to them upfront.
• 30:41
  Speaker 8: Fundamentally it shouldn't cost any difference.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: So why would they do it?
• 30:46
  Speaker 8: Because it just makes it a lot easier. Instead of
• 30:47
  Speaker 8: having to worry about payments going here, there and everywhere,
• 30:50
  Speaker 8: they just have to worry about what amount to pay.
