  Speaker 2: Quigley's exit from the chair of the Reserve Bank really
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: says about our country's financial management. And crime stats are down,
• 0:41

  Speaker 2: are in China for a security summit, with Modi meeting
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: xijimping for the very first time in seven years. The

  Speaker 2: gathering comes as Trump slaps tariffs on India over Russian
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: oil and Putin could be facing fresh sanctions on Ukraine
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: from as.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: The last CARS Summit's shure, it's attempting to rule Russian
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: President Putin in a bid to break the de facto
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Sino Russian alliance against the US. While Trump recognizes that
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: punishing and ISO isolating Russia grow Moscow closer to Beijing,
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: he's not repeating that same mistake with India.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Yes, speaking about that mistake with India, the New York
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Times is reporting that the US wooed India for thirty
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: years and Trumps blind it up in just a few
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: months every summer with his tariffs as part of the
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: crackdown on Russia in the Ukraine and his loose use
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: of words. Now to the UK where they've locked in
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: their biggest They have a worship export deal nearly twenty
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: three billion New Zealand dollars worth of frigates and they're
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: sending them to Norway the country. The contract will support
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: four thousand jobs in Britain, two thousand at some shipyards
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: in Glasgow.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: It is a real commitment to British workers and to
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: our security, which will mean a combined fleet of British
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: Norwegian ships in the North Atlantic and the North Sea,
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: keeping us safe at home and secure aboard.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: And UK European correspondent garn Gray will have more on this.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Just after five forty five this morning, and Gritted Tomberg
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: has hopped on another boat heading for Gaza. It comes
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: as eighteen people were reported killed in attacks on Gaza today.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: This story is not at all about the mission that
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: we are about to embark.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: The story here is about Palestine.
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: The story here is how people are being deliberately deprived
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: of the very basic means to survive.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: And that takes us to night.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Head of the headlines on early edition with Adre Dickins
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: and one roof Love where you Live News talks at me.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: So the government is pushing a plan that will provide
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: two million houses, principally in Auckland, and it's ruffled everyone's feathers,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: particularly the good people of Mount Eden, who last week
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: had a very rowdy meeting. They're upset that consent rules
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: around transport hubs will be loosened, threatening what is known
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: as special characteristic housing zones. The one hundred year old
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: homes on quarder acre sections. They might be torn down
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: to build faceless boxing townhouses. That's their concern. Chris Bishop
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: is behind all of this, and I noticed over the
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: weekend he's been getting flack from the left but also
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: from the right, all over the social media and on
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: the right they believe that this will end out in
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: ghettos and it's part of some nefarious World Economic Forum
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: idea to group us all together to make us easier
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: to control. But it's actually ignoring the reality of what
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: happens to cities all over the world, whether it's Sydney's
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Surrey Hills or Putney in London or Brooklyn and New York.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: In every city houses were intensified. Now with time, they
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: too have become special characteristic housing zones and their own right,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: and they have thriving communities and high street shopping and
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: no mega supermarkets and loads of hospitality. New Zealand cities
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: are different, and New Zealand cities have spent a long
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: time wallowing in a model that made our worst problems worse.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Traffic congestion, a soulless, lonely suburban life, a mode of
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: living where if you don't have a car, you're banned
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: from participating in life. And ask the elderly, which is
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: why they choose intensive living in their golden years. That's
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: what they go to retirement villages. So this new plan,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: this trick will be to identify the houses that are
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: too special to redevelop, to keep the good people around,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: eat and carm and you need to protect them. But
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: you also need to find areas where a little bit
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: of intensification will make life better for everyone, including business,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: which is why Chris Buship wants more intensive housing around
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: transport hubs. And I'll leave the last word to Chris
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: on the social media over the weekend where he said, Yep,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: me and my so called cooker mates have a radical
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: view of having built a five point five billion dollar
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: new rail link in Auckland that doubles rail capacity, we
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: should maybe build some housing around the glorious new stations.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: And that makes sense to me as long as we
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: do it well. It's twelve after five Braves Andrew Dickens.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: In fact, by the way, the number of applications granted
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: for emergency housing nationally has plummeted, the government has been
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: tightening restrictions. Data to the end of the journe obtained
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: by The Herald under the OIA shows that even though
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: the number of applications have dropped significantly, the number being
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: declined continues to rise, and in fact, more applications are
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: being declined than granted an Auckland, which is great for
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: our country's finances, but not so great if you're homeless
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: right now. And speaking of grants, tertiary institutions are giving
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: out grants to students thirty four million dollars in hardship
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: funding since COVID. So what's that about and where's the
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: money going? We'll have that story for your next This
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: is News Talk ZB.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: News and Views you trust to start your day. It's
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: early EDITIONIP with Andrew Dickins and One Room Love Where
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: you Live Newstalks b Well.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: The time is now five fourteen. Tertiary institutions have dissed
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: out thirty four million dollars in hardship fundings since COVID.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: The peak was in twenty twenty one, where they gave
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: away nearly nine million dollars. They gave away just under
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: six million last year. So Aidan Donahue is Wellington's Victoria
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: University Students Association Engagement Vice President and is up early
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: for us good morning to aiden good morning. Why are
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: the students having to get the grants?
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: Look beginning the grants because they're obviously in need of
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: extra money, and most of that we're seeing is in
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: regards to MG costs and other sort of financial stresses
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: like that.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: So let's look at the money. Aut says it's average
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: amount of assistants last year four hundred and fifty bucks.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Canterby University provides up to eight hundred dollars through its
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: students Association. So how much are the students really relying
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: on these grants?
• 7:06
  Speaker 8: Many students.
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: I've really looked into these grants to really get bias,
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: specially when I don't expected costs occurred. But it's really
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: just tough. It can really be a wide variety of
• 7:19
  Speaker 7: things that need a touchhip grunts.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: For okay, So, and what impact is this lack of
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: money and the cost of living crisis having on students studying?
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: It's an immense impact. I mean, every hour that's worked
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: to make up that loss and money is an hour
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: that's not spent studying. And so for students it's a
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: really tough decision between working those extra hours or spending
• 7:44
  Speaker 7: that extra time on a better assignment or better you know,
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: engagement with the content of the course.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Things obviously got tough during COVID. Are things getting better now?
• 7:55
  Speaker 7: Unfortunately?
• 7:56
  Speaker 9: No.
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: I'm from our winter energy grants which posed in August.
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: We've seen that the number of submissions received from twenty
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: twenty three to twenty twenty five is about tripled, from
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: about two hundred and sixty five applications in twenty twenty
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: three to nine hundred and forty applications in twenty twenty five.
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: And yeah, just to put those rown perspective, every application
• 8:17
  Speaker 7: is limited to one per address, and so that's nine
• 8:21
  Speaker 7: hundred and forty households looking for extra support during these
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: times during winter.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, we wish them all the best of
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: luck and I thank you so much. Aden Donahue from
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: the Victoria University of Wellington Students Association, he's the Engagement
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Vice president. That's a mouthful to seventeen minutes after five
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: the Tamacke Makodo by election, by the way, is on us.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: It's this weekend so far interesting. You have to say,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: absolutely subterranean. And I wonder why, you know, with all
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: this debate about Malori representation at council and national level
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: running so hot, you'd think that Maori would value the
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: fact that they've got these Malordi seats, that they would
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: value representation and that they would flock to the polls
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: and exercise their democratic rights. But they aren't. And you
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: have to say, use it or lose it. Mary, Now
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: in the Formula one, if you've just woken up, Liam
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Lawson got a puncture him and Carlos Sign's crash. Carlos
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: got a penalty. Liam was slightly to blame. He was
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: running fifth at the time, which was looking good frustratingly
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: for him. Had you came in third and actually got
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: into the podium for the first time in ages for
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: racing balls anyway, that happened overnight. Also, the Black Ferns
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: played in the Rugby World Cup. So we'll update all
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: the sport with Andrew Ordison. That is next here on
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: News TALKSB.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens on earlier this show with one roof Love
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Where you Live, News Talks b.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: By twenty Talk Sport Andrew Ordison, Good morning to you,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Greetings Andrew, just saying that the Black Ferns beat Japan
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: over the weekend. Porscha got her fiftieth.
• 9:52
  Speaker 10: She did yeah overnight, so yeah, pusha woman. The highest
• 9:55
  Speaker 10: number of tries by New Zealander at test level. But
• 9:58
  Speaker 10: you feel like cruising to actually sixty two nineteen relatively
• 10:02
  Speaker 10: convincing it thirty eight five at halftime and they switched
• 10:05
  Speaker 10: over a number of players, so got I think all
• 10:07
  Speaker 10: the scare all thirty two members that squad have had
• 10:09
  Speaker 10: some game time in the first couple of games. So
• 10:12
  Speaker 10: they'll face Ireland out.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Of the side.
• 10:14
  Speaker 10: Well, who's going to top Pool? See in those quarter
• 10:17
  Speaker 10: final standings.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah that's good and yeah we will be in the
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: quarter final. It depended on France beating Brazil. They beat
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Brazil eighty four to five, and then this is quite
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: a discrepancy. I mean you think about England some more.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Ninety two to three.
• 10:30
  Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, I don't know that it's a great advertisement,
• 10:32
  Speaker 10: but there you go.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: I think England's looking very good. It's a bit of
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: a worry. Pretty strong speaking of rugby. Glorious scene south
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: and wins the Ramfully Shield for the first time since
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: twenty eleven. That's fantastic against against the Waycoat team pack
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: with all thatacks. I was surprised at that.
• 10:46
  Speaker 10: I thought that we're the play its role and Southland
• 10:49
  Speaker 10: took advantage and good on them.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Shows you how beautiful the Ramfay Shield is and how
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: good MPC is.
• 10:56
  Speaker 10: I love that. I love that when the shield works
• 10:59
  Speaker 10: its way around the country. I think they're up against
• 11:01
  Speaker 10: Canterbury for their first defense, so it may be moving
• 11:04
  Speaker 10: I think Canabary I think undefeated so far from their
• 11:06
  Speaker 10: five games, so yeah, it might be moving on again.
• 11:09
  Speaker 10: But nonetheless, you take this year when you can get it.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: And what was it Auckland have lost fave in a row.
• 11:13
  Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, it's not much success anywhere across the O night.
• 11:18
  Speaker 10: I think at the stage in the NPC.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Formula one, Liam got a punction from Carlos Simes. He
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: was sitting fifth at the time. But it must be
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: really frustrating for the end because Haja, his teammate, goes
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: and gets a podium for the first time in the
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: ages for so.
• 11:32
  Speaker 10: Glorious gods Hadjya this morning as a result of that.
• 11:35
  Speaker 10: So yeah, I think Lawson finishing up in twelfth in
• 11:37
  Speaker 10: the end, I think significantly two for the championship. Ledder
• 11:41
  Speaker 10: Norris with that smoke coming out of his vehicle and
• 11:45
  Speaker 10: getting no points compared to McLaren teammate Lando Norris. Sorry, yeah,
• 11:49
  Speaker 10: Oscar Pastri Pastre is one verstap in second, but that's significant,
• 11:56
  Speaker 10: thirty four points now ahead of Norris. So heading to
• 11:59
  Speaker 10: the back end of the Sea's.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Great and the Warriors. Now, look, I have watched that
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: replay of that final disallowed try and that was never
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: a knock on. I can't see any touch on that ball.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: But that's not the try telling Jason Ryles, Okay, yeah,
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: that's not much. It is that that's not the point.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: The Warriors shouldn't be at that situation up against the
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: fourteenth scene seeing the team that late in the game.
• 12:23
  Speaker 10: You're putting yourself in a vulnerable position, and I've got
• 12:27
  Speaker 10: to be if they're wanting ambitions of being a top fourteen,
• 12:30
  Speaker 10: which is now extremely slim heading into the last round,
• 12:33
  Speaker 10: you've got to take those opportunities or you've got to
• 12:35
  Speaker 10: put that sort of stuff beyond you in dominate in
• 12:38
  Speaker 10: those circumstances, so they haven't done that and what twenty
• 12:41
  Speaker 10: six twenty two in the end, but it's yea a
• 12:44
  Speaker 10: fascinating final week to see where they do end up.
• 12:46
  Speaker 10: You woudn't want to be playing Penrith, I would have thought.
• 12:49
  Speaker 10: But an interesting thing too. Apparently all four of those
• 12:54
  Speaker 10: games could be out of Sydney, so very few of
• 12:56
  Speaker 10: the last of the of the final series games or
• 12:59
  Speaker 10: the playoffs will be instantly by boil accounts.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Were interesting teams, so they'll hate that.
• 13:04
  Speaker 10: That's their game, but they don't get the Grand Final regardless.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: You're a fisherman. No really, okay, fishing license has gone Saturday.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: I'll talk about that a bit later because that's sport
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: in a stretch and a bizarre way. Indeed, indeed, thank
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: you Andrew His edit five twenty four.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: The early edition Full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: News Talks it B.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: News Talks B It is five twenty six am ENTR
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Dickens in for Ryan Bridge, who's on holiday. So we
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: had the resignation of the chair of the Reserve Bank
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: on Friday, which shows you just how badly our economy
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: has been run for the last six years. In my opinion.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: So Neil quickly marched off into the sunset. At five
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: forty nine pm on a Friday, that's just late enough
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: for the news to miss the TV six pm bulletin.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: That's an old PR trick in it, leaving the shock
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: value to dissipate over the weekend before the start of
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: play today. But there we go, and it's evidence to
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: me that successive governments National and Labor and the Reserve
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Bank have failed to respect each other or realize that
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: even though they're independent, their actions combine and affect all
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: of us. So back in the COVID years, the Reserve
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Bank reacted and made money essentially free, but the Labor
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: government wanted to be seen to be doing something, so
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: they started overspending. We all know this. They started throwing
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: borrowed money away. And the result of all this free
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: money and all this government spending was a superheated economy
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: that obviously crashed spectacularly and spectacularly quickly. So the Reserve
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Bank then reacted again and made the money expensive again
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: to attack the overheating, put the interest rates up. But
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: the new government, this time National, again wanted to be
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: seen to be doing something, so they started canceling government expenditure,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: and that ended out throwing us into an even deeper
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: economic funk than anyone had expected, including the Reserve Bank. Now,
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: in both scenarios, the governments didn't seem to realize what
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: was happening at the reserve bank of our economy, and
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: the Reserve Bank was too proud to take into account
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: the stupidity of governments. They were working against each other.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: They're supposed to be independent, but that's all supposed to
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: be pulling together to help us. All government, i think,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: needs to heed the advice that they give to local councils.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Just stick to your knitting. Your job is to do
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: the basics. Fund health and education and the police, and
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: build us stuff to help us do business, like roads
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: and rail and ferries. But you don't have to worry
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: about the price of butter or the number of supermarkets.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: The market will do that, the Reserve Bank will do that.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: And remember, governments, you need to keep the borrowing as
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: low as reasonable. Let the Reserve Bank worry about inflation
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: and the big financial stuff. But that hasn't happened the
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: last two terms, and that is what should happen. That's
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: how successful governments respect the independence of the Reserve Bank.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: And that's how the last two amateur governments did not
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: us talk said be five twenty eight. The tech number
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: is ninety two twenty two. Here's something for you to
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: text about or constarting a bit of an experiment about
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: fortnightly rubbish collections. Could you cope with that? Is that
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: a good thing? Of course? That means that the cost
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: of collecting the rubbish has halved, yeah, because there's not
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: so many collections. But at the same time we could
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: end out with overflowing bins and you know, could you
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: cope with fortnightly rubbish collection? Is this something you need
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: and you want or is this something that's going to
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: turn our whole place into a cornmark? Send me a
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: text ninety two ninety two or talk more about that
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: a little bit later on. And the big news is
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: fishing licenses go on sale today first day of spring,
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: so a few details about that. And later on we've
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: got an update from the government on its crime reduction target,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: so we'll talk to Ruth Money, the Chief Victim's advisor
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: to government about this. It's down twenty nine thousand. Then
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: when this government came into power, still one hundred and
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: fifty six thousand crimes in a year. That's four hundred
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: and fifty a day. Are you feeling safe for ninety two?
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Ninety two is the number of the phone. This is
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Early Edition. I'm Andrew Dickens and this is News Talk.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Hib the news you need this morning and the in
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: depth analysis Early Edition with Andrew Dickens and One Route
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Love where you Live, News Talks at Bone start. That's
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: the way.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: When this is Olivia Deans and I've fallen in love
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: with her boy. She's from England over the last couple
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: of months. She's got a new album coming out in
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: weeks and I found out the other days she actually
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: came to the Laneway Festival last summer and I didn't
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: know that. And if I knew that, I would have
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: gone to the Laneway Festival just to see this woman.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: She's great. Anyway, there we go, I Madrew Dickens, and
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: I mean for Ryan who's having holiday, because you do.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: I can look at the weather. It is the first
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: day of spring and it is wild and windy, and
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: there's been problems at airports, but there we go. Today's
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: looking a little bit calmer than yesterday. And because it's
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: the first day of Spring first or September, it's the
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: day that the fishing licenses go on sale. They're on
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: sale for the fishing season that starts on October the first,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: So if you're heading out to catch trout or salmon,
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: you need a license, no exceptions or there's trouble. You
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: can buy them online or in store from fishing game
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: end Zet or any approved agent. You can go down
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: to your local outdoor store. It's about one hundred to
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty dollars for a year. You can
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: get a day license for twenty to twenty five bucks
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: a day. The digital license is absolutely fine. You just
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: get a PDF you put it on your phone, but
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: if you do that you have to have a photo
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: ID with you to prove that you've got the license.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Family options are available if you have no license, no fishing.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Fishing without the right license is treated the same as
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: having none at all, so get it right. Land access
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: not included, so your license doesn't give you permission to
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: cross private land. Got to ask first, And if you're
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: in the Topol region, different rules. That area is managed
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: by dock so you need a separate permit. And once
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: you've done all of that there's absolutely no guarantee that
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: the fish will be biting. So good luck to you,
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: happy fishing, and here comes summer, Ryan Bridge. It's twenty
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: two to success. Go right around the country and to
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: the need in first and not target Kellen proct Good
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: morning to you, morning Andrew. We've got fines for environmental
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: breaches and they're rising.
• 19:59
  Speaker 11: They are the Gum Moments amended these regulations, increasing fines
• 20:02
  Speaker 11: anywhere from one hundred to nine hundred percent. This followed
• 20:06
  Speaker 11: complaints that infringement fees were too low to be a
• 20:09
  Speaker 11: deterrent against non compliance. So in the twenty twenty four
• 20:13
  Speaker 11: to twenty five financial year, the Ottaga Original Council issued
• 20:16
  Speaker 11: sixty two environmental infringements. The OSCCS regulations had not been
• 20:21
  Speaker 11: amended since nineteen ninety nine. They say the fines hadn't
• 20:24
  Speaker 11: kept pace with inflation over time, and now they more
• 20:27
  Speaker 11: effectively distinguished between individuals and companies.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Loads of snow on the weekend in central Otago. How's
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: your weather today, Well, it's windy today.
• 20:36
  Speaker 11: We've got a strong wind warning, gusts of westerly gusts
• 20:39
  Speaker 11: of one hundred CA's Fordneed and today's showers developing possibly
• 20:42
  Speaker 11: heavy the high fourteen.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: Com I thank you Chris Sure we're good morning to you.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Good morning, you've got a christ Church in Duran's athlete
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: who's running six hundred and seventeen kilometers this week. Why
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: this is for.
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: Every life lost to suicide last year. Andrew Morgan Bartram
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: is covering one hundred kilometers a day for the next
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: six days. He'll finish with seventeen kilometers on Sunday. He's
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: doing this via lapse around Hagley Park and it's all
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: to raise money for mental health charity I Am Hope.
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: Bartram says he has been training for a year for this,
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: often doing marathons after work in preparation. He says six
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: hundred and seventeen people dying by suicide is simply too high,
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: especially for New Zealand, and he wants to put a
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: spotlight on that. He is encouraging everyone to come down
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: to Hagley Park this week to join him.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Lovely park, but going round, round and round. Has got
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: to play on the blane. But it's a good, good court.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: How's the weather for the run?
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: Frosty to start today, but should be a bit nicer
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: for him later on. Some strong northwesterlies developing. The high
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: will be seventeen.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Max Toll joins us for Wellington, Hellimax, good morning. You
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: read the news very well last week. I heard you you.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: I thank you very much. Great.
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Now we've had a massive police cracked down in Manuwatu
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: over the weekend.
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah. I we're seeing this more and more major police
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: operations stopping hundreds and hundreds of motorists that checkpoints across
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: the region over the weekend. In Palmerston, north fielding cops
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: were actually called in from Funganui, Tadanaki, Wellington, Hawks Bay
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: just to help with this. Dozens of infringements, some arrests,
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: some cars impounded a couple of months ago. We saw
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: the same thing in White and Mata a month ago
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: in Hamilton and Rota and we'll see where they go
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: next later this month. How's your whare there over car
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: strong northwesterlyas fifteen the high central and.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: I thank you. In Neiva Rich a man who joins
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: you from Walkland. Hello, Neva, My good.
• 22:29
  Speaker 12: Morning, Andrew. Sorry I didn't turn my mic on.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: What apro I've only been here forty years?
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: What the hell?
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: So we've got a car pack on the waterfront. There
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: is also an at installation.
• 22:39
  Speaker 12: Correct, this is quite unusual but very funny actually. So
• 22:43
  Speaker 12: it's a one hundred and ten meter long port building.
• 22:46
  Speaker 12: You're right on the waterfront now it's going to be
• 22:48
  Speaker 12: lit from top to bottom. This is starting at dusk today.
• 22:52
  Speaker 12: It's called the light Ship and it's on Key Street. Look,
• 22:54
  Speaker 12: it's a car park by day in an outdoor artwork
• 22:57
  Speaker 12: by night. So it's made up of nearly eight and
• 23:00
  Speaker 12: five hundred LEDs.
• 23:02
  Speaker 11: The lights.
• 23:03
  Speaker 12: It's a digital canvas and it's going to be for
• 23:05
  Speaker 12: free for anyone to view it. Yeah, it's quite cool.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Still blocks the view of the sea, which apparently is
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: quite pretty. There we are, but it's a car park,
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: which is a good thing.
• 23:16
  Speaker 12: Yes, it is exactly we need those.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: How's the weather Okay?
• 23:19
  Speaker 12: Partly cloudy, isolated showers, those strong southwesterlies easing this afternoon.
• 23:24
  Speaker 12: Seventeens a high but a lot better than that wild
• 23:27
  Speaker 12: weather yesterday.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: The airport was closing.
• 23:29
  Speaker 12: But I know were you out at the airport.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: No, I was driving. I was driving all the way
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: through the Waycatto and it was wild.
• 23:35
  Speaker 10: Oh yeah, crazy, how would have been shaking?
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Thank you Neva. Now speaking of Auckland. They're doing an
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: experiment to see a fortnight the rubbish collection might work,
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: and I thought it was interesting that the council has
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: chosen some of the poorest areas of the city to
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: run the trial. And of course they did because if
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: they ran this trial in remy Wear or ponsonby the
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: good people there, who if they were told they have
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: to store their rubbish for our fortnite, I think there
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: would be a revolution. So they're doing this in some
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: of the poor areas, and I wondered whether these overpaid
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: bureaucrats at the council have ever driven around the areas
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: that talking about on rubbish day, because already these places
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: are overflowing with rubbish with a one day a week collection,
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: so good look luck with that one. But there's some
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: places around the place that I am doing fortnitely. I
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: asked the question would you like a fortnightly rubbish collection?
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Text through saying that Hamilton has fortnightly rubbish collections, but
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: the rates are still going up. That'll be the water.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Another texta says if we still had the bigger bins,
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: two week collection might be acceptable. And Jenny is organized.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Jenny says my husband and I already do a fortnightly
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: rubbish collection voluntarily and sometimes we can stretch it to three.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: We recycle, we use the food scraps, bin and meat scraps.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: We freeze them and then put them out on collection day.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: And she says it's easy. It just takes some organization
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: and it will save the city some money. It is
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: seventeen to six. Gavin Gray out of the UK in
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: a few moments time, and news on our crime stats
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: came out over the course of the weekend and crime
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: is down or maybe crime is being prevented by cops
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: on the beat. We'll talk to Ruth Money about this
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: before six on early edition with new Stalks. Thereb some

• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Fifteen to six. Kevin Gray from the UK and morning
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: to you hither Andrew. So the UK has secured a
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: ten billion pound deal to supply the Norwegian Navy. So
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: what sort of kid are you giving them?
• 26:32
  Speaker 9: It's going to be type twenty six frigates. And this
• 26:34
  Speaker 9: has been what the British government's describing as the biggest
• 26:37
  Speaker 9: ever worship export deal by value, and it will support
• 26:42
  Speaker 9: likely four thousand British jobs well into the twenty thirties,
• 26:45
  Speaker 9: including some two thousand BAE Systems otherwise known as British
• 26:49
  Speaker 9: Aerospace based up in Glasgow, Scotland where the frigates are
• 26:53
  Speaker 9: going to be built, and the deal is expected to
• 26:55
  Speaker 9: support some four hundred British businesses as well, including crucially
• 26:59
  Speaker 9: probably a hundred and three in Scotland. Those are the
• 27:01
  Speaker 9: figures who's not going to be happy. While France, Germany
• 27:05
  Speaker 9: and the United States were also being considered, and indeed
• 27:08
  Speaker 9: somebody quite senior in the Norwegian Naval Academy said it's
• 27:11
  Speaker 9: a bad choice. The French and German frigates would have
• 27:14
  Speaker 9: been superior to the British. Well tough because the British
• 27:17
  Speaker 9: have won the deal on this one. Thirteen anti submarine
• 27:20
  Speaker 9: frigates are what are going to be eventually based their
• 27:24
  Speaker 9: eight British, five Norwegian and a big big deal of
• 27:26
  Speaker 9: twenty four billion New Zealand dollars.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: And thousands of jobs, two thousand alone in Glasgow. So
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: that's good and that's a vote winner. Hey, German investigators
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: Prime suspect and the disappearance of Medal MacCann is going
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: to be released from prison in a matter of weeks. Yes,
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: that's right.
• 27:42
  Speaker 9: So we've talked about this guy so often, haven't we.
• 27:44
  Speaker 9: Andrew forty eight year old German national Christian Bruckner, the
• 27:48
  Speaker 9: main suspect, the only suspect in the Madeline McCann disappearance. However,
• 27:52
  Speaker 9: he has never ever faced any charges about that disappearance
• 27:56
  Speaker 9: and indeed says he had nothing to do with it.
• 27:59
  Speaker 9: He's currently in prison following a rape conviction of an
• 28:03
  Speaker 9: seventy two year old American tourist. He's forty eight years
• 28:07
  Speaker 9: old now, but he's come into the end of that
• 28:09
  Speaker 9: prison sentence. They can't hold him any longer. So it's
• 28:12
  Speaker 9: likely that by the seventeenth of September he will have
• 28:15
  Speaker 9: to be released. They're looking potentially at requesting the judges
• 28:18
  Speaker 9: say that he has to wear a tag. Plenty of
• 28:20
  Speaker 9: people fear he may skip the country and then go
• 28:23
  Speaker 9: who knows where. Of course, Madeline mccany, then three year old,
• 28:27
  Speaker 9: vanished from an apartment complex on the Algarve in Portugal
• 28:30
  Speaker 9: back in May two thousand and seven, and despite many
• 28:34
  Speaker 9: millions of New Zealand dollars spent trying to find her.
• 28:36
  Speaker 9: Despite the earth being dug up around prior deluge where
• 28:39
  Speaker 9: she went missing. I'm afraid there is still no further
• 28:43
  Speaker 9: evidence that she's either still alive or indeed where her
• 28:46
  Speaker 9: body might be.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Gavin great for the UK, I thank you. It is
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: ten to six ZID. So we've had an update from
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: the government on its crime reduction targets. One hundred and
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: fifty six thousand people with victims of violent crime in
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: the year to now. That is bad news, but it's
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: also good news because it's twenty nine, twenty nine thousand
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: fewer than when the coalition took office and surpassing their
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty nine goal of twenty thousand fewer. So I'm
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: joined now by Ruth Money, who's the Chief Victims Advisor
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: for the government. Commodity Ruth Good. Down twenty nine thousand,
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: but to one hundred and fifty six thousand is still
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: a lot. What's that four hundred and fifty people of
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: the victim of violent crime every day?
• 29:26
  Speaker 8: Yeah, far, far, far too many. But it is good
• 29:28
  Speaker 8: to see that those numbers are declining.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: So the question is how do we get the numbers
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: down more.
• 29:35
  Speaker 8: Well? I'm giving some pretty stern advice around the sexual
• 29:37
  Speaker 8: violence family violence space because that's obviously a huge area
• 29:42
  Speaker 8: of criminality within our community. It's also really good to
• 29:47
  Speaker 8: see that we've got those extra police walking around, which
• 29:50
  Speaker 8: are causes for deterrence. So that's what we need. So
• 29:53
  Speaker 8: everything is heading in the right direction. Fingers and toes crossed, though,
• 29:57
  Speaker 8: because it's still a pretty volatile kind of number to
• 30:00
  Speaker 8: look at. And also we've got some high pressure times
• 30:04
  Speaker 8: that we come through, for example, Christmas for example, it's
• 30:07
  Speaker 8: not a great time for crime and pressure in the community.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: So it's great that we've got cops on the beat
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: and I get there and that's decreasing crime on our
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: high streets just by their presence. That's great. But I
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: was reading it and I came to the we're talked
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: about sexual assaults, and it's sexual assaults are up by
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: three thousand and just the last three months of this
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: survey period. That's a worry. And now, is that because
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: we're getting better at reporting sexual assault or are we
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: getting worse at committing sexual assault?
• 30:37
  Speaker 8: I actually think it's a bit of both. And look,
• 30:40
  Speaker 8: that's just my experience speaking the crime of the New
• 30:44
  Speaker 8: Zealand Crime and Victims Survey actually measures and it's very unique.
• 30:48
  Speaker 8: It measures disclosed crime, so crime that's actually been reported,
• 30:51
  Speaker 8: but it also talks to people who, for whatever reason
• 30:55
  Speaker 8: didn't choose to go through the process and disclose it legally.
• 30:59
  Speaker 8: So I think you'll see is that more people are
• 31:02
  Speaker 8: talking about sexual violence and therefore bear is a level
• 31:04
  Speaker 8: of comfort to talk about that it's happened, if not
• 31:08
  Speaker 8: hasn't been reported, So that will be increasing our numbers
• 31:13
  Speaker 8: in terms of I'm brave enough to report it, but
• 31:15
  Speaker 8: I'm also brave enough to talk about it and not
• 31:18
  Speaker 8: report It's there's a lot of nuance when it comes
• 31:22
  Speaker 8: to sexual violence.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: Well, there's always work to do. Crime, as we say,
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: never sleeps, and I thank you so much for all
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: your advocacy. That is worth money. By the way, a
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: final note, the government is ending permanent name suppression for
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: serious sexual offenders and I think we'd all say about
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: time it is seven to six.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day early
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: edition with Adre Dickins and one roof love where you
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Live News Talks.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: That'd be so the awkward experiment on the Fortnight the
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: rubbish collection Some Love It some don't what we've got
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: to text you. I think it's a brilliant idea. If
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: it will slow the increase of our rates, well that
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: all depends on your water. I guess someone says Fortnitely
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: Collections will suit some and not others. That's true enough,
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: and Molan is very upset that it will increase the
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: illegal dumping of household rubbish. I understand that Toyrong is
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: doing it. Hamilton's already doing a Fortnite collections. But people
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: are saying it's the size of the bin. My costing
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: joins Now, Fortnitely Rubbish Collection didn't kill this.
• 32:20
  Speaker 13: It's it's just less service, isn't it. Yeah, it boils
• 32:23
  Speaker 13: down to it and it is the size of the bin.
• 32:25
  Speaker 13: And that's why too many people then go and high
• 32:27
  Speaker 13: their own private rubbish collection service. Tell me what we
• 32:30
  Speaker 13: do in the country that works well. It's about to change,
• 32:32
  Speaker 13: but it has worked well. Is if you want more rubbish,
• 32:34
  Speaker 13: you buy more bags, so you've got by being just
• 32:37
  Speaker 13: put it out and if you want to put out
• 32:38
  Speaker 13: twenty seven, you put out twenty seven and no one
• 32:40
  Speaker 13: cares because you pay for it. And that's the word.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: But if people can't pay for it then they have.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: Did you see on the telly last night they took
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: the counches and they just dump it in their reserve.
• 32:47
  Speaker 8: That's what they do.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much. We've got James me this morning.
• 32:50
  Speaker 13: Who is I can't work out whether he's solved the No,
• 32:53
  Speaker 13: he hasn't solved the problem. So this is regionally alliance, right.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: He's the South Island guy.
• 32:57
  Speaker 13: He is the South Island guy, but he's also the
• 33:00
  Speaker 13: Minister Transport and he's been in charge of the regional
• 33:03
  Speaker 13: airline problem, which is they don't make money, there aren't
• 33:06
  Speaker 13: enough people, et cetera. So his answer this morning is
• 33:09
  Speaker 13: a loan scheme. He's got a technical answer in which
• 33:12
  Speaker 13: you can go on and it will manage your booking
• 33:16
  Speaker 13: in a way that you will be able to go
• 33:17
  Speaker 13: from anywhere in the country to anywhere in the country
• 33:20
  Speaker 13: semi seamlessly. I don't know how that solves the problem though.
• 33:23
  Speaker 13: If you're not making any money as nearline, well isn't
• 33:25
  Speaker 13: a bit.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Like the supermarkets.
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: It is what it is.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: If the market says we can only support two chains,
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: the market says we can only support two airlines, well
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: then that's said.
• 33:34
  Speaker 13: I'm saying I think that's I think that's what it
• 33:35
  Speaker 13: boils down to. But a loan scheme, if you're not
• 33:37
  Speaker 13: making enough money as an airline, borrowing more money doesn't
• 33:40
  Speaker 13: solve your problem, doesn't it. People aren't But if there
• 33:42
  Speaker 13: aren't enough people, there is enough money, whatever the case
• 33:44
  Speaker 13: may be. But anyway, we'll talk to them about that.
• 33:46
  Speaker 13: The Prime Minister's with us and Police Commissioner on what's seen.
• 33:51
  Speaker 13: Some pretty positive numbers of news.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: Still a lot of crime. We're in the right didn't
