Speaker 1: EARLIERITI with one roof love where you live News Talk, sa'd.
0:09
Speaker 2: Be good morning, Welcome to Wednesday.
0:12
Speaker 3: Is it time we stopped talking about Tom Phillips and
0:14
Speaker 3: the kids?
0:14
Speaker 2: Do we just leave them alone? Now?
0:16
Speaker 3: We'll go to our europe correspondent on the fact the
0:18
Speaker 3: French can't pass a budget, debt spiraling, the PMS gone,
0:21
Speaker 3: more kids here dropping out of school, But is that
0:24
Speaker 3: necessarily a bad thing? Casey Costello joins US Live on
0:28
Speaker 3: the latest organized crime report.
0:31
Speaker 4: The agenda.
0:32
Speaker 2: It is Thursday, oft tenth of September.
0:34
Speaker 3: Israel's fired missiles under Doha trying to hit Hamas negotiators Nittanya,
0:38
Speaker 3: who not sorry.
0:39
Speaker 5: At the beginning of the war, I promised that Israel
0:42
Speaker 5: would reach those who perpetrated this horror, and today Israel
0:48
Speaker 5: and I have kept that promise.
0:53
Speaker 3: Nittanya, who also gave Trump a heads up about the strike.
0:56
Speaker 6: I have very little doubt in my mind the President
0:59
Speaker 6: Trump approved this because it's very unlikely for Israel and
1:03
Speaker 6: an American ally to send over ten tighter jets and drones
1:06
Speaker 6: into an airspace where there's an American base without pre approval,
1:10
Speaker 6: but also more importantly because President Trump tweeted on Sunday
1:14
Speaker 6: that this is his last warning to Hamas and if
1:17
Speaker 6: they don't accept the opera on the table, bad things are.
1:20
Speaker 4: Going to happen.
1:21
Speaker 3: Turnipaul now where it's all kicking off over the social
1:23
Speaker 3: media ban and anti corruption protests Parliament. There has been
1:27
Speaker 3: set on fire, nineteen deads, the Prime minister and cabinet
1:30
Speaker 3: ministers putting on mass Earlier on.
1:33
Speaker 2: We could see violent classes between police and protesters, the police.
1:37
Speaker 6: Pushing back the crowd using tear gas, ridden backers and
1:41
Speaker 6: even bullets.
1:43
Speaker 3: In the US, lawmakers are hearing from witnesses claiming to
1:45
Speaker 3: have seen UFOs and before you think they're just nutty, wacky,
1:50
Speaker 3: you know, weird people, they include military veterans.
1:54
Speaker 7: The question is no longer whether these events are real,
1:57
Speaker 7: but whether we have the courage to face them. True
2:00
Speaker 7: leadership requires vision, a willingness to confront the unknown with
2:04
Speaker 7: transparency and resolve. These phenomenon challenge are deepest assumptions about
2:09
Speaker 7: reality consciousness, and are placed in the universe.
2:13
Speaker 3: NASA says there's still no credible evidence of extraterrestrial light.
2:19
Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition with
2:23
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and one roof Love where you Live news.
2:27
Speaker 2: Talks had been They didn't say no evidence, did they.
2:30
Speaker 2: They just said no credible evidence. Right.
2:33
Speaker 3: A lot to get through this morning quickly on the
2:35
Speaker 3: Doha strikes from trying to get the Hummas leaders, actually
2:38
Speaker 3: the guys who are there trying to negotiate a cease
2:41
Speaker 3: fire have now been hit. Although according to Reuters who
2:46
Speaker 3: reckon they've spoken to Hummas and the negotiators, they didn't
2:50
Speaker 3: actually get them, So Israeli's trying to get them in
2:53
Speaker 3: Doha didn't actually get a direct hit. The UK is
2:56
Speaker 3: condemning this, and they were trying to get one particular
3:00
Speaker 3: guy they're trying to kill, Khalil Alhayer. He's a big
3:03
Speaker 3: dog in Humas and the hierarchy there. He was the
3:06
Speaker 3: Guard's a chief. He's an exile in now in Doha
3:08
Speaker 3: trying to do the negotiations. He's their top negotiator, basically
3:11
Speaker 3: trying to get him, and looks like they haven't succeeded
3:13
Speaker 3: in that. Here in New Zealand, we're about to hear
3:15
Speaker 3: from Casey Costello. The last thing this country needs is
3:18
Speaker 3: another bloody minister of the Crown or another portfolio. But
3:22
Speaker 3: that is exactly what this organized crime report out this
3:24
Speaker 3: morning we get the monthly has suggested. Here's some data
3:28
Speaker 3: for you. Luxon's administration currently has a whopping eighty one
3:34
Speaker 3: portfolios Ireland, Norway, Singapore, Finland countries. We like to compare
3:42
Speaker 3: ourselves to similar populations fewer than twenty. We've got eighty
3:47
Speaker 3: one the UK, Canada, the US career much bigger than us,
3:52
Speaker 3: they've got fewer than thirty. Australia's population, as you know,
3:56
Speaker 3: five times bigger than ours. Even they have half the.
4:00
Speaker 2: Number of portfolios that we have.
4:03
Speaker 3: And I went right back to have a look to
4:05
Speaker 3: even back to nineteen twenty five in New Zealand. This
4:09
Speaker 3: is when Massey has died in office. He had a
4:12
Speaker 3: cabinet of ten and about thirty portfolios. And then incomes
4:18
Speaker 3: MMP and it's been creeping up and up successive governments.
4:21
Speaker 2: Oh, we need a minister for or we need a
4:23
Speaker 2: minister for the Salfa.
4:24
Speaker 3: Do we No, we don't. It's too many chefs in
4:27
Speaker 3: the kitchen. And the problem with this is that the
4:30
Speaker 3: government departments they have to answer to these ever ballooning
4:35
Speaker 3: myriad of eighty one ministerial portfolios and there's too much
4:38
Speaker 3: overlap and duplication across the whole system. So now they
4:42
Speaker 3: want a new minister.
4:44
Speaker 2: For organized crime. Isn't all organized crime? Still crime?
4:47
Speaker 3: Isn't that the cops? Wouldn't that be the Minister of Police?
4:51
Speaker 3: I would have thought so. Anyway. Casey Costello has released
4:54
Speaker 3: this report this morning, and we'll ask her that.
4:56
Speaker 1: Next Views and Views You Trust to start your day.
5:00
Speaker 1: It's early edition with Cryme Bridge and One Room Love
5:05
Speaker 1: Where you Live.
5:05
Speaker 3: News Talks had been five point thirteen on news talks,
5:08
Speaker 3: he'd be nine two nine two's the numbers to text.
5:10
Speaker 3: Shane Jones has sent a memo to his boss. He
5:13
Speaker 3: reckons we should consider renationalizing the Gen Taylor's. This is
5:17
Speaker 3: part of the shakeup he wants for the energy sector.
5:20
Speaker 3: Of course, we've got a gas shortage crisis. Gas sector
5:23
Speaker 3: is affecting our manufacturing industry. We have had mills shut
5:27
Speaker 3: up shop, We've had firm shut up shop blaming high
5:30
Speaker 3: power prices. So he reckons at least consider renationalizing.
5:35
Speaker 2: The Gen Taylor's. What do we think of that? Nine
5:37
Speaker 2: two nine two.
5:39
Speaker 4: Breach.
5:40
Speaker 3: Casey Costello, his colleague has got an Organized Crime task
5:44
Speaker 3: Force and the latest report reckons we need to create
5:47
Speaker 3: a new ministerial portfolio responsible for fighting it. The report
5:52
Speaker 3: was out this morning. Casey Costello, Customs Minister, Associate Police
5:55
Speaker 3: with US.
5:55
Speaker 2: Now we'll minister, good morning, Hello, minister, can you hear me?
6:01
Speaker 2: Good morning?
6:03
Speaker 8: Good morning?
6:04
Speaker 3: Ah there, we are good to have you on the program. Now,
6:06
Speaker 3: I've read, We've spoken about these before. I've read all
6:09
Speaker 3: these reports with great interest, and some of them been
6:11
Speaker 3: quite good. But this one seems nuts to me. Do
6:13
Speaker 3: we really need another ministerial portfolio?
6:17
Speaker 8: Well, I think what you're highlighting is the position of
6:20
Speaker 8: the understanding of what organized crime is. We're not talking
6:22
Speaker 8: about a new minister. We're talking about a minister responsible
6:25
Speaker 8: for bringing this cohasion. We've done it before. We've had
6:28
Speaker 8: the Border Executive Board was established during COVID, We've had
6:32
Speaker 8: the COVID earthquake at Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority, the Infrastructure Commission,
6:37
Speaker 8: the Center of Sexual Violence and Family Violence, where we
6:40
Speaker 8: put responsible ministers in charge. This is about cohesion and
6:44
Speaker 8: the challenge that we've got is that we have all
6:46
Speaker 8: of these agencies doing small about the small amounts of things.
6:50
Speaker 8: It's about ensuring that we understand why this is a
6:52
Speaker 8: priority because at the end of the day, as you've
6:54
Speaker 8: seen in the other reports, the cost is being paid
6:58
Speaker 8: by the most vulnerable community and the poorest communities are
7:02
Speaker 8: bearing the biggest brunt. And we need to ensure that
7:05
Speaker 8: all of the agencies that can impact, effect, reduced to
7:09
Speaker 8: ter disrupt organized crime have a cohesive response. And that's
7:13
Speaker 8: what this report is asking for, and it's what I
7:15
Speaker 8: asked the Ministerial Advisory Group to do is be bold,
7:19
Speaker 8: be innovative, think about the things that can make us
7:21
Speaker 8: most effective in this space, and that's what they're going for.
7:24
Speaker 3: So we wouldn't see a minister for organized crime specifically,
7:28
Speaker 3: we would just see a police minister who has an
7:30
Speaker 3: extra group working under them.
7:33
Speaker 8: Well, and this is the part is whether where this
7:35
Speaker 8: responsibility sits. Is that we have you know, we have
7:39
Speaker 8: leavers with an IOD, within the company's office, within customs,
7:43
Speaker 8: within immigration. All of these agencies have responsibilities to have
7:48
Speaker 8: an impact in this space, and how do we make
7:51
Speaker 8: sure that our response is connected in the cohesive as
7:55
Speaker 8: the criminals are. So that's what we're really asking for.
7:58
Speaker 3: So you will so when you RECOGNI into cabinet that
8:00
Speaker 3: we get that. You know, we should have a new portfolio.
8:04
Speaker 8: As you've seen in the report, they want to make
8:07
Speaker 8: the final report, which will be later this month, as
8:10
Speaker 8: to how do we bring all of these recommendations together
8:13
Speaker 8: to have the most impact. And I'll wait for that
8:15
Speaker 8: final report as to how does this work. This is
8:18
Speaker 8: just one of the aspects of all of the reports
8:19
Speaker 8: they put forward and we'll look at that. But I
8:22
Speaker 8: see there's in real merit.
8:23
Speaker 4: We've done it before.
8:24
Speaker 8: I mean we've in the eighties we set up the
8:26
Speaker 8: Serious Fraud Office to respond to a specific type of criminals.
8:29
Speaker 8: Ending we've done these things before. Let's look at what
8:32
Speaker 8: the best solution is.
8:33
Speaker 3: Has any of the stuff that has been recommended thus
8:36
Speaker 3: far actually stopped any organized crime.
8:39
Speaker 8: We've seen a lot of cohesion coming through. We've we've
8:42
Speaker 8: had a really good stepping up of the involvement of
8:45
Speaker 8: ID We've done some innovative stuff around our response in
8:51
Speaker 8: the Pacific, We've customs and police continue to work effectively.
8:56
Speaker 8: We've seen a massive step change in the amount of
8:59
Speaker 8: meth and I mean we're recovering. We're starting to see
9:02
Speaker 8: that wastewater result tracking down We're definitely not there, but
9:05
Speaker 8: we are seeing some impacts in this space.
9:07
Speaker 2: All right, Are you with Shane renationalized the gen.
9:10
Speaker 8: Taylor's Yeah, I mean, of course, I'm with Shane. I
9:15
Speaker 8: think there's some real merits and what we can do.
9:17
Speaker 8: We need an affordable economy and we need energy is
9:20
Speaker 8: a huge part of us growing our economy.
9:22
Speaker 3: So you'd be in favor of renationalizing them.
9:26
Speaker 8: Well, you know, I think we need some better controls
9:28
Speaker 8: over it, and that's what that's what we're asking for,
9:31
Speaker 8: is we need to put New Zealanders first in this space.
9:34
Speaker 2: All right, Caseye, appreciate your time. Thanks so much for
9:36
Speaker 2: being with me.
9:36
Speaker 3: Casey Costello, the minister who's getting these organized crime reports.
9:40
Speaker 3: It's just gone eighteen minutes after five. Y're on news
9:42
Speaker 3: Talk said, big kids dropping out of school, biggest numbers
9:44
Speaker 3: since two thousand and seven? Is it a bad thing?
9:48
Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth
9:50
Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and one Root Love
9:55
Speaker 1: where you live news Talks, that'd be five on early edition.
9:58
Speaker 3: We'll get to the economic data really yesterday that is
10:01
Speaker 3: of some concern about quarter two. More concerned about quarter
10:03
Speaker 3: two A NOS attacks on Casey Costello, who was just
10:07
Speaker 3: on the show. Ryan read the number of portfolios and government.
10:10
Speaker 3: You are forgetting that here in New Zealand's is Alpha
10:12
Speaker 3: New Plymouth. Good morning, Elf, you're forgetting here in New Zealand.
10:15
Speaker 3: We might pro manage everything. We have layers of management
10:17
Speaker 3: and organizations because we don't actually trust anyone to do
10:21
Speaker 3: the job that they are paid for. Ryan, just another
10:24
Speaker 3: made up job, says Grant. Sounds nuts and Marxis sounds
10:27
Speaker 3: like a load of crap.
10:29
Speaker 2: Thanks Mark.
10:31
Speaker 3: Ryan Bridge concerned this morning that the governments change up
10:34
Speaker 3: for the school curriculum could drive more students to drop out.
10:37
Speaker 3: Early new data release to News Talk ZBS shows nearly
10:39
Speaker 3: fourteen hundred and fifteen year olds got exemptions to leave
10:42
Speaker 3: last year, the highest since two thousand and seven. But
10:46
Speaker 3: the good news is ninety percent of them continued study
10:48
Speaker 3: outside school and that was with largely with Tzapu Kinger
10:52
Speaker 3: teaching two thy fifteen year olds in some capacity last year. Bruce, Sorry, Mark,
10:57
Speaker 3: Bruce Miller is the CEO of Feno et Outdoors joined
11:00
Speaker 3: us this morning. Mark, Good morning, Good morning. Right, School's
11:03
Speaker 3: not for everyone if they are going elsewhere to study,
11:06
Speaker 3: your work is it a problem.
11:08
Speaker 4: No, not at all.
11:09
Speaker 9: I think we have to recognize that school isn't for everyone,
11:12
Speaker 9: but school also needs to be a place where all
11:15
Speaker 9: learners can thrive and where all learners can feel success.
11:19
Speaker 2: What's your issue?
11:20
Speaker 3: Because they're wanting to take outdoor read from the Senior
11:23
Speaker 3: School General subject list.
11:25
Speaker 2: Why is that a problem?
11:28
Speaker 4: That's a big problem for us?
11:30
Speaker 9: We as a specialists in outdoor education consistently demonstrate that
11:34
Speaker 9: outdoor ED allows all students to flourish in areas that
11:38
Speaker 9: are difficult to work on within classroom environments key employability
11:43
Speaker 9: skills such as teamwork, leadership, communication, resilience, and initiative. Is
11:49
Speaker 9: that opportunity is not available to all students, then there's
11:54
Speaker 9: a problem. There is a proposal that it will be
11:56
Speaker 9: offered for students on a vocational pathway, but that would
12:00
Speaker 9: mean it wouldn't be available for anyone going through to
12:03
Speaker 9: university on more of an academic pathway.
12:06
Speaker 3: So you can still take outdoor ED and go and
12:09
Speaker 3: get a job, but you can't take outdoor ed and
12:12
Speaker 3: go to UNI.
12:15
Speaker 4: As the proposal currently says.
12:16
Speaker 9: That is one of the risks. Yes, and yet we
12:19
Speaker 9: know that we need all of our students when they're
12:22
Speaker 9: leaving school to be as well rounded as it can,
12:26
Speaker 9: to have worked on their leadership, initiative, problem solving, their
12:30
Speaker 9: ability to manage risk and think critically under pressure. That's
12:34
Speaker 9: what outdoor ed does.
12:36
Speaker 3: It's interesting because I did outdoor it at school and
12:38
Speaker 3: then went to UNI, so I probably wouldn't have taken
12:41
Speaker 3: that course if the current rules take place.
12:45
Speaker 9: That is very much the risk, and it's something that
12:48
Speaker 9: we're concerned about because we see day in day out
12:51
Speaker 9: the benefits of all of our students getting out of
12:54
Speaker 9: the classroom feeling more connected to the natural environment, learning
12:58
Speaker 9: all those skills.
12:58
Speaker 4: That I just listed, but also so critical.
13:01
Speaker 9: To their confidence, self management, and their overall.
13:04
Speaker 2: Well be interesting, Mike, appreciate your time this morning.
13:07
Speaker 3: Thank you, Mark Bruce Miller, CEO of penwa Et Outdoors.
13:10
Speaker 3: Time is twenty three after five. You're on News Talk ZBB.
13:14
Speaker 3: Got a bunch of numbers from stats n Z yesterday
13:17
Speaker 3: which I want to run you through, and from Beef
13:19
Speaker 3: and Lamb as well.
13:20
Speaker 2: I also saw a movie on the weekend. Lots to
13:23
Speaker 2: chat about.
13:23
Speaker 1: The early edition full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered
13:27
Speaker 1: by Newstalks.
13:28
Speaker 3: VB News Talks VB it is five twenty five. Few
13:33
Speaker 3: signs that you know you're getting older. I watched a
13:35
Speaker 3: movie on Sunday with the group of friends. Here are
13:37
Speaker 3: twelve things I learned. One, I wasn't hungover on the couch.
13:41
Speaker 3: Uber eats and McDonald's from the sofa. That's a sign
13:44
Speaker 3: that you're getting older. Number two. I took the extraordinary
13:48
Speaker 3: measure of walking to the movies using perfectly capable legs,
13:51
Speaker 3: even though they are a bit stiff, bit sore from
13:53
Speaker 3: the gym.
13:54
Speaker 2: Three.
13:55
Speaker 3: This means you have visited the gym four times this
13:58
Speaker 3: week to ensure that you are will squeeze into that
14:01
Speaker 3: ever shrinking seat that they put you in at the movies.
14:04
Speaker 2: Four.
14:05
Speaker 3: You chat amongst yourselves quite loudly while the shorts are playing,
14:08
Speaker 3: because well, you just don't give a flying shit about
14:11
Speaker 3: that level of decorum any longer, do you. Nobody paid
14:14
Speaker 3: for the shorts. They paid for the film. The rest
14:16
Speaker 3: is marketing.
14:17
Speaker 2: Five.
14:18
Speaker 3: The short you do watch has Leonardo DiCaprio, heart Throb
14:21
Speaker 3: of youth, playing the cantankerous father figure, and a group
14:25
Speaker 3: of young actors the children, and you have no.
14:28
Speaker 2: Idea who they are. Five.
14:31
Speaker 3: You feel nostalgia that the movie is set in the
14:33
Speaker 3: early two thousands. Six, You feel the young actors replicating
14:37
Speaker 3: the style, the close, the heir bit lame, copying what
14:41
Speaker 3: we clearly did better.
14:43
Speaker 2: Eight.
14:43
Speaker 3: One of your friends has a moon boot on after
14:47
Speaker 3: a fall that he took while we were out walking
14:49
Speaker 3: over the weekend prior eight. At nine, you can't count.
14:55
Speaker 3: You love the movie Court Stealing with Austin Butler. You
14:57
Speaker 3: should go and see it if you haven't, not just
14:59
Speaker 3: because it's good and it's a simple, hearty action thriller,
15:02
Speaker 3: but because it's only an hour and a half long.
15:05
Speaker 3: Ten That means only one toilet break, because it's impossible
15:09
Speaker 3: to sit on six hundred and sixty miles of fizzy
15:12
Speaker 3: water without the feeling that your bladder might explode into
15:14
Speaker 3: a thousand pieces. Eleven The time frame is just enough
15:20
Speaker 3: before you need to rearrange because you've got back pains,
15:23
Speaker 3: always have sign you're getting older. Twelve are most importantly,
15:27
Speaker 3: you laugh, You're enthralled, you have a good time.
15:29
Speaker 2: You feel pretty.
15:30
Speaker 3: Content sitting there in the dark with your buddies, happy
15:33
Speaker 3: in the knowledge that any worries you had going in
15:36
Speaker 3: are a world away from the grungy Lower East side
15:38
Speaker 3: of Manhattan, where the film is set. It's the little
15:41
Speaker 3: things you notice that paint a picture of where your
15:43
Speaker 3: life is at, how old you are, and how you
15:46
Speaker 3: fit into the world of ever changing demographics. It's a
15:50
Speaker 3: reminder to enjoy the good moments in life and the
15:53
Speaker 3: people that make you happy, because one day we'll either
15:56
Speaker 3: have dementia or be dead. Here's to middle age, halfway
16:00
Speaker 3: dead and.
16:01
Speaker 2: Just fine with that.
16:02
Speaker 3: Bry and Bridge, It's twenty eight minutes after five nine
16:06
Speaker 3: two nine two is the number to text very quickly.
16:09
Speaker 3: We got a minute, all right. Beef and Lamb, So
16:12
Speaker 3: Beef and Lamb's new season. Outlookers out. Red meat prices
16:15
Speaker 3: are still at record highs and they are forecast to
16:17
Speaker 3: remain strong. There's tight supply that keep prices up despite
16:22
Speaker 3: the tariffs. The consumers are paying more for our beef
16:25
Speaker 3: and lamb in the US, so they're just swallowing them literally.
16:28
Speaker 3: And despite lower export volumes, earnings are up and expected
16:33
Speaker 3: to rise by one point four billion to ten and
16:35
Speaker 3: a half billion. This is for the twenty four to
16:37
Speaker 3: twenty five season, so that is good. Export returns for
16:40
Speaker 3: the coming season will hold steady. Sheep meat the Aussies
16:44
Speaker 3: are exporting less, which will keep prices up beef. The
16:48
Speaker 3: Brazilians their supply is tight and the demand from the
16:53
Speaker 3: US is strong enough to swallow and absorb both the
16:57
Speaker 3: Kiwi and Ossie supply. So basically the outlook is for
17:01
Speaker 3: more of the same, which means more good news. News
17:04
Speaker 3: talks there B coming up. After news, we will get
17:07
Speaker 3: to our reporters around the country. We'll get to Gavin
17:10
Speaker 3: Gray are Europe UK correspondent on France.
17:14
Speaker 2: The mess that is the budget and dit situation.
17:17
Speaker 3: Plus is it time to stop talking about Tom Phillips?
17:24
Speaker 10: Hues the first word on the News of the Day
17:32
Speaker 10: early edition with Ryan Bridge and One Route Love where
17:37
Speaker 10: you Live News Talks B.
17:47
Speaker 3: Good morning, it is twenty four minutes away from six
17:49
Speaker 3: yer on news Talks.
17:50
Speaker 2: THEREB coming up.
17:51
Speaker 3: Should we leave the Tom Phillips and the kid's story alone?
17:53
Speaker 3: Now we'll head to our europe correspondent France. Choose through
17:57
Speaker 3: another prime minister? There all the details, Avan Gray, Ryan, Yes,
18:02
Speaker 3: it is time stop talking about Tom Phillips, says this text.
18:05
Speaker 3: Let the police do their inquiry and peace. The children
18:07
Speaker 3: need the privacy. We don't need updates constantly. I'm ready
18:11
Speaker 3: to move on, says this text. Well, we will look
18:13
Speaker 3: at that and talk about it just before six o'clock,
18:15
Speaker 3: I mean ironically still talking about it, but talking about
18:18
Speaker 3: not talking about it. Right Next Thursday is GDP day
18:22
Speaker 3: for quarter two. How bad was the stall? That's the question.
18:26
Speaker 3: So in the March quarter we were up point eight
18:28
Speaker 3: percent and we got some big pieces of the puzzle.
18:31
Speaker 3: Yesterday stats NZ had its manufacturing and its wholesale trade
18:34
Speaker 3: data out. Not good news unfortunately, Manufacturing down two point
18:38
Speaker 3: nine percent. That was after they were up two point
18:40
Speaker 3: four for March. Value down one billion for that quarter.
18:45
Speaker 3: Wholesale trade down point one versus a point three point
18:49
Speaker 3: four increase for March. Manufacturing is a bit of a
18:53
Speaker 3: shocker that number. Wholesale trade doesn't sound that bad, but
18:56
Speaker 3: it was expected to be positive. Construction more bad news.
19:00
Speaker 3: There no surprises. So where does this leave us? B
19:04
Speaker 3: and Z has now dropped its forecast for quarter two
19:08
Speaker 3: from zero point two percent to half a percent drop. Okay,
19:13
Speaker 3: that is not good. Hapkins will be salivating about this.
19:16
Speaker 3: The government, of course, will be pulling out all the
19:18
Speaker 3: stops to spin it whichever way they can. Here's the
19:21
Speaker 3: good news though, that this data is looking backwards, right,
19:24
Speaker 3: So the period that we're talking about ended two and
19:27
Speaker 3: a half months ago. And B and Z also says
19:30
Speaker 3: that because of the swings, and although it's technical, it's
19:33
Speaker 3: swings that means there's a good chance of a higher
19:37
Speaker 3: bounce back for quarter three, which is the one we're
19:39
Speaker 3: currently in. So for the current quarter they have revised
19:43
Speaker 3: their forecasts up. They estimate that will go from what
19:46
Speaker 3: they were expecting to be a half a percent bump
19:49
Speaker 3: to a point seven percent bump. So you take away
19:54
Speaker 3: you giveth to quarter three, what you taketh from quarter
19:58
Speaker 3: two twenty two minutes away from six bred to our
20:03
Speaker 3: reporters around the country, now, Jamie Cunningham for Dunedin, Jamie,
20:07
Speaker 3: good morning, good to have you on the program.
20:10
Speaker 11: Good morning.
20:10
Speaker 3: Right, Dunedin's biggest stadium has no AXE booked for next year.
20:15
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's right. Forsyth Bar Stadium has zero events booked
20:19
Speaker 11: past November, and of course more competition lies ahead with
20:22
Speaker 11: christ Church is one new Zealand stadium opening in April. Now,
20:26
Speaker 11: in the past it's hosted Alton John, ed Sheeran, The
20:29
Speaker 11: Red Hot Chili Peppers and Fleetwood Mac Now ed Sharon
20:32
Speaker 11: has snubbed Dunedin for christ Church in his January tour
20:36
Speaker 11: and Dunedin. Benu's chief executive Paul Dawn admits it's a
20:39
Speaker 11: gray period at the moment, but he sees me working
20:42
Speaker 11: closely with promoters and things are in the pipeline now.
20:46
Speaker 11: Dawn see's most recent events have revolved around rugby, so
20:49
Speaker 11: there's a focus on attracting other events as well.
20:53
Speaker 2: All right, how's the weather, Jamie.
20:55
Speaker 11: Cloud increasing with showers developing this morning and strong westerlies
21:00
Speaker 11: this afternoon and high of eleven.
21:02
Speaker 3: Nice one, thank you clear, christ Church clear, good morning,
21:05
Speaker 3: good morning. So you've got noise limits on the agenda.
21:09
Speaker 12: Yeah, absolutely so public feedbank has been gathered on this one.
21:12
Speaker 12: Ryan and the Cisians are now going to be made
21:14
Speaker 12: on this proposal to increase See Central City's noise restrictions
21:18
Speaker 12: from sixty to sixty five Yes of our LAEQ. That's
21:23
Speaker 12: a measure of continuous sound. Council's senior Engagement advisor Hannah
21:28
Speaker 12: Valentine says that eighty seven percent of Public Feedbank submitters
21:32
Speaker 12: have supported the Council's proposed to increase. She says they
21:36
Speaker 12: believe that would support nighttime economy, increase vibrancy, nightlife, the
21:41
Speaker 12: arts and culture scene, and would be perfectly supported.
21:44
Speaker 8: On the slip side, there are.
21:45
Speaker 12: Some concerns that the noise limit could impact the equality
21:48
Speaker 12: of life's health and comfort of residents who should be prioritized.
21:53
Speaker 12: Counselors will be discussing it at today's council meeting.
21:55
Speaker 2: All right, how's your weather fline?
21:58
Speaker 12: It first for the rain a bit later, could be
22:00
Speaker 12: heavy and sundry, with hail being clearing by night. Northeasterly
22:04
Speaker 12: is about strong southway from this afternoon and a high
22:07
Speaker 12: at six steam.
22:07
Speaker 3: All right, Tiger Brolly, Thanks Clear Mix and Wellington Max.
22:10
Speaker 3: Good morning, Good morning, still going on about the city
22:13
Speaker 3: to see bridge.
22:15
Speaker 13: Well, people are still talking about it, and we are
22:17
Speaker 13: reflective of demand, so yes we are. We're still trying
22:20
Speaker 13: to get to answers about this thing. For those not
22:23
Speaker 13: familiar the large timber and concrete crossing and artwork over
22:27
Speaker 13: the harbor, we do know it is scheduled to be demolished,
22:30
Speaker 13: much to the chagrin of many here at Wellington. But
22:33
Speaker 13: when exactly and why the rush? With a local election
22:36
Speaker 13: coming in a few weeks and a majority of candidates
22:39
Speaker 13: seemingly calling for the work to be put on pause.
22:42
Speaker 13: We now understand demolition very likely won't begin proper until
22:46
Speaker 13: that election. It's still going to be a few weeks.
22:49
Speaker 13: Despite fences going up cordering it off. This week, protests
22:52
Speaker 13: have been taking place at the site instead. We understand
22:56
Speaker 13: there's artwork attached to the bridge that needs to be
22:59
Speaker 13: removed first, and with the artist's permission as well. And
23:03
Speaker 13: I do believe that message why rush may may be
23:05
Speaker 13: starting to get through at the council and if the
23:08
Speaker 13: next mayor or whomever feels strongly enough about looking at
23:11
Speaker 13: better alternatives for saving this thing, I do think there
23:14
Speaker 13: is scope for it still to be saved.
23:16
Speaker 2: Okay, how's your weather?
23:18
Speaker 13: Early rain, then mostly overcast, very strong northwesterlies fourteen the
23:22
Speaker 13: high in the Central City.
23:24
Speaker 2: I heard that text yesterday.
23:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, somebody takes in set because normally, how would you
23:28
Speaker 3: say it normally?
23:29
Speaker 13: Well, because we're you know, it's a large region. There
23:32
Speaker 13: are different highs and different parts central would refer to
23:35
Speaker 13: Central City. That's my probably anal retentive thing that I do.
23:39
Speaker 2: Right, Because are you British? British?
23:42
Speaker 13: Did you say yeah, perhaps a little British.
23:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, because I think that's what they were getting at.
23:47
Speaker 3: I was saying, is it a British thing that you
23:49
Speaker 3: end it with Central, you know, High fifteen Central.
23:51
Speaker 13: Or is it possibly possibly that's ingrained in me. I
23:54
Speaker 13: would like to point out though that I may sound British,
23:57
Speaker 13: but I've lived in this country for over twenty years.
23:59
Speaker 13: I'm going to be the into about that.
24:00
Speaker 3: Right, settled down, precious Max and Wellington, Thanks Max, Neivas
24:06
Speaker 3: and Oak and I love there.
24:09
Speaker 2: Today I'm going to call him British. Well, I'm going
24:11
Speaker 2: to call them British Max.
24:12
Speaker 3: Now, right, guess opposed to the West Aukland Licensing Trust monopoly,
24:19
Speaker 3: that's right.
24:19
Speaker 14: Hoping for a takeover in this year's election though, so
24:22
Speaker 14: as we know, you know west Aukland residency of voting
24:25
Speaker 14: for representatives to guide the policy. This is on the
24:27
Speaker 14: trust that local elections. Now, the West Aalkland Licensing Trust
24:31
Speaker 14: Action Group, they've come out they want a referendum on
24:34
Speaker 14: ending the monopoly. They want more bars obviously out West,
24:38
Speaker 14: reducing the number of Poky's next male candidate. He says, Look,
24:41
Speaker 14: the group's hoping it can improve on the previous results
24:44
Speaker 14: which saw I think they had two candidates elected to
24:46
Speaker 14: the portage and wantuckety boards. So yeah, the papers arrived
24:50
Speaker 14: yesterday local bid the voting papers. Did you get yours?
24:52
Speaker 2: I did?
24:53
Speaker 11: Yes.
24:53
Speaker 14: I love looking at that brochure, you know when you
24:55
Speaker 14: see the reading, the bios and all of that, because
24:58
Speaker 14: you know, if you don't know everyone and you've got
24:59
Speaker 14: a tick se I think in the photos. Photos are important.
25:02
Speaker 2: Yeah they are. They give you a bit of a
25:04
Speaker 2: sense of that's.
25:05
Speaker 14: Right and if you don't know them. I always go
25:07
Speaker 14: by photos. Who's good looking, who's not? Who's young?
25:12
Speaker 2: All great? How did Wane Brown get in? Hey? How's
25:17
Speaker 2: that with them? Shall some heavy?
25:20
Speaker 7: Im?
25:20
Speaker 14: Possibly sundry?
25:21
Speaker 6: Hey?
25:22
Speaker 14: Hey fine break? So late morning. This is a nineteen
25:26
Speaker 14: is the high here in Auckland, in central Max Auckland Central.
25:29
Speaker 3: We are going to Europe, our Europe correspondence, Kevin Gray
25:32
Speaker 3: standing by next news talk set be. If you run
25:35
Speaker 3: a small business, you know the pain of waiting to
25:37
Speaker 3: get paid so annoying. You finish the job, you send
25:40
Speaker 3: the invoice, and then you spend weeks chasing people up
25:42
Speaker 3: like some sort of dick collector. Zero's Tap to Pay
25:46
Speaker 3: powered by Stripe changes all of this. Your customer taps
25:49
Speaker 3: the card on your phone. Boom, you paid on the spot.
25:52
Speaker 3: No fancy payment terminal needed, just the zero accounting app.
25:55
Speaker 3: Here's the really smart bit though. Once the payment goes
25:58
Speaker 3: through the invoices automatically marked is paid in zero, ready
26:01
Speaker 3: to be reconciled. Less admin less marking around with all
26:05
Speaker 3: the paperwork, more time running your actual business. You know
26:09
Speaker 3: what you should be doing. It's secure, it's instant, and
26:11
Speaker 3: it keeps your cash flow moving instead of grinding to
26:14
Speaker 3: a halt every month. Except payments on the spot. As
26:17
Speaker 3: soon as the job's complete. No more awkward I'll get
26:19
Speaker 3: that invoice to you conversations. The more businesses this could genuine.
26:24
Speaker 3: For most businesses, I should say this could be genuine
26:27
Speaker 3: game changer, especially the small ones. Less time chasing late payments,
26:31
Speaker 3: more time focusing on what you do best. Supercharge your
26:35
Speaker 3: business with zero tap to pay, getting paid disc got
26:38
Speaker 3: a whole lot easier search, zero tapped to.
26:41
Speaker 1: Pay, international correspondence with ends and eye insurance. Peace of
26:46
Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business.
26:49
Speaker 3: So Emmanuel Marcroon's got to pick a new Prime Minister
26:51
Speaker 3: after the last one got the boots. Gavin Gray is
26:54
Speaker 3: our europe UK correspondent with US this morning, Gavin, Who's
26:57
Speaker 3: he going to pick?
27:00
Speaker 15: There's a few of different characters that may might pick.
27:03
Speaker 15: But the question is how long is he going to
27:05
Speaker 15: take to do it? And that is because at the moment,
27:07
Speaker 15: of course, France has seen us pretty raddless and indeed
27:11
Speaker 15: we are expecting a decision later on in the week
27:15
Speaker 15: from those that are in the know about the financial
27:18
Speaker 15: position of France, which currently incidentally has a debt equivalent
27:22
Speaker 15: to roughly one hundred and fourteen percent of its economic
27:26
Speaker 15: output a year is three point three trillion euros in debts,
27:30
Speaker 15: so roughly six trillion New Zealand dollars and Fitch is
27:33
Speaker 15: due to make a decision the credit rating on Friday
27:36
Speaker 15: about how much they rate what is going on in France,
27:40
Speaker 15: and if they decide that their rating is demoted, that
27:43
Speaker 15: could make it more costly for France to borrow. So
27:45
Speaker 15: the clock is ticking, and more than that, Tomorrow, Wednesday,
27:49
Speaker 15: our time is.
27:52
Speaker 4: Going to do.
27:52
Speaker 15: A day of protests is really what it's called. They're
27:55
Speaker 15: calling this source block on two, which in English means
27:58
Speaker 15: let's block everything. Police are planning to put on eighty
28:02
Speaker 15: thousand extra officers. People are being told don't drive into
28:05
Speaker 15: Paris because we can't really guarantee what's going to be
28:07
Speaker 15: going on. People are saying this should effect right across France,
28:11
Speaker 15: all the different unions going into this, and I'm afraid
28:14
Speaker 15: France at the moment looks like it is listing from
28:16
Speaker 15: side to side with Emmanuel Macron needing to make that
28:20
Speaker 15: decision soon.
28:20
Speaker 3: And even does it matter who the new prime minister is,
28:23
Speaker 3: because you're still going to have this problem of the
28:25
Speaker 3: three groups that the blocks lift sent to end right,
28:28
Speaker 3: none with the majority and can't agree on anything.
28:32
Speaker 15: No, absolutely, And so that's why I think many people
28:35
Speaker 15: are saying Macron himself needs to resign, because he was
28:38
Speaker 15: the one that called the election to strengthen his hand
28:41
Speaker 15: after some disastrous elections in Europe, and it did the
28:44
Speaker 15: complete opposite. It weakened his hand. And now they've had
28:47
Speaker 15: in his second term very little decisions being made because
28:50
Speaker 15: they can't get anything through Parliament. So this is big
28:52
Speaker 15: for France. Plenty of people are saying, look, all we
28:55
Speaker 15: need to do is tax the rich more. That'll reduce
28:58
Speaker 15: our debt. But I think a lot of peoplere skeptical
29:01
Speaker 15: that there's going to be that amount of money that's
29:03
Speaker 15: going to sort that debt out. So there are some
29:06
Speaker 15: different candidates coming forward, but who can please the left,
29:09
Speaker 15: the right, in the middle, And the answer is probably no.
29:12
Speaker 3: One mission impossible. Gavin, Thank you, Gavin Gray Are UK
29:14
Speaker 3: europe correspondent. It's ten to six, Brian Bridge, the Muttercopa kids.
29:19
Speaker 3: They're now safe, they're in the hands of auditing, a tammodiki,
29:21
Speaker 3: but they'll now face a lengthy court and reintegration process
29:25
Speaker 3: could take years. So what do we do in the meantime?
29:27
Speaker 3: Jane cele Child Matters CEO with Me Live. Jane, good morning,
29:31
Speaker 3: Good morning Ryan. You reckon, it's time to leave this
29:33
Speaker 3: story alone.
29:35
Speaker 16: I absolutely do. I think it's understandable why this has
29:37
Speaker 16: been such a big story. But these children are not
29:40
Speaker 16: public property. We do not have to know everything about
29:43
Speaker 16: them and about their lives or we need to know
29:45
Speaker 16: is that there's safe and that the well And it's
29:47
Speaker 16: really a question of social responsibility.
29:50
Speaker 3: A lot of people on the text machine that'll fight
29:51
Speaker 3: up about this. This morning I mentioned we were going
29:53
Speaker 3: to talk Ryan. It's healthy to debate and ask questions
29:56
Speaker 3: for people to understand and find the truth.
29:58
Speaker 2: That is the tenor of the tech. So what do
30:00
Speaker 2: you reckon?
30:02
Speaker 4: No?
30:02
Speaker 16: I disagree. I think there's not an interest for these children.
30:05
Speaker 16: They have got a lengthy re integration into their new
30:08
Speaker 16: reality and time to build their new lives that will
30:12
Speaker 16: be years in the making, and so for then to
30:15
Speaker 16: be public property of for that to be part of
30:17
Speaker 16: a public story is not healthy for those children. And
30:19
Speaker 16: I don't think that we have a right to that
30:22
Speaker 16: in this age of reality TV. I think sometimes the
30:24
Speaker 16: boundaries get blurred, but we have to do what's in
30:26
Speaker 16: the best interest.
30:27
Speaker 2: Of these children.
30:28
Speaker 3: What's worse because people are talking about it and are
30:31
Speaker 3: going to talk about it and will be interested in it.
30:33
Speaker 3: Is it worse for the media to do that or
30:36
Speaker 3: for social media to fill the void?
30:39
Speaker 4: Well?
30:39
Speaker 16: I don't thinking stop social media, can you? I think
30:41
Speaker 16: responsible reporting around us, and I think we've sent some
30:44
Speaker 16: good reporting is very important. But again we don't need
30:48
Speaker 16: to know the details. It's not in the children's interests
30:51
Speaker 16: after what they've been through. I don't think it's much
30:53
Speaker 16: to us that we're given some space and some privacy
30:55
Speaker 16: from there on.
30:56
Speaker 2: All right.
30:56
Speaker 3: Jane Ceyl child Matter's CEO News talks their b it's
31:00
Speaker 3: eight to six.
31:01
Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on a billy edition with
31:05
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and one roof Love where you Live News talks,
31:09
Speaker 1: that'd be.
31:09
Speaker 2: Six to six news talks.
31:10
Speaker 3: There'd be high drama at Terminal four Heathrow Airports. People
31:14
Speaker 3: twenty one people fell ill and they were like, oh,
31:18
Speaker 3: is this a chemical weapon? Is there a gas leak?
31:20
Speaker 3: What is going on? Emergency services rushed to the scene
31:24
Speaker 3: and cops determine it was probably more likely than not
31:28
Speaker 3: a case of mass hysteria. It's a thing, apparently psychogenic illness,
31:33
Speaker 3: anxiety based psychogenic illness. This has happened before at a
31:37
Speaker 3: high school in New York where everybody started getting motor
31:39
Speaker 3: ticks and twitches. Wasn't them, it was just in their heads.
31:44
Speaker 3: Anxiety based cases. They went to a New Zealand researcher
31:46
Speaker 3: on this The Guardian this morning. Anxiety based cases were
31:49
Speaker 3: typically trippered by the sudden perception of a toxic agent.
31:52
Speaker 3: So basically, you smell something, you see other people convulsing,
31:56
Speaker 3: and you think you'll sick. Two five to six Bridge,
32:01
Speaker 3: Mike's in the studio this morning, Mike, good Morning's.
32:02
Speaker 17: Why when you go to the doctor and you go
32:04
Speaker 17: and they go, Yeah, everyone's got it. That's how it works,
32:07
Speaker 17: isn't it actually funny enough. We've got a thing on
32:09
Speaker 17: the you know, the digital thing they launched recently where
32:12
Speaker 17: you go to the doctor digitally if you can't get
32:13
Speaker 17: into your local doctor. Yeah, it's a it's a hit.
32:16
Speaker 2: I see that.
32:17
Speaker 17: So it's a nice line between. It's an interesting line
32:19
Speaker 17: I suppose between because doctor is a bit worried about it,
32:21
Speaker 17: because but I mean, if you look at go to
32:23
Speaker 17: the GP, most times you go to the GP, there's
32:25
Speaker 17: nothing profound. Is it's I'm a bit unwell.
32:28
Speaker 2: I've got I've got a head ache. Whatever.

32:33
Speaker 3: On a phone, on a phone, what's the GPS have
32:35
Speaker 3: always said this is bad for us because then all
32:38
Speaker 3: of your quick profitable cases will go to the phone
32:41
Speaker 3: and we'll be left with the really complex ones which
32:43
Speaker 3: take time, and we won't make as much money and
32:45
Speaker 3: we'll be put out of business exactly.
32:47

33:12
Speaker 17: kids leaving, but if you're leaving for something, which they are,
