  Speaker 1: The agenda.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: It's Wednesday, the eleventh of December and Israel has launched
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: a ground incursion into Syria following the fall of the
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Assad regime. Benjamin Natanya, who says he ordered the IDF
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: to take control of the demilitarized un Bappa zone, which
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: was established fifty years ago.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: The only interest we have is the security of Israel
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: and its citizens. That's why we attacked weapons systems like,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: for example, remaining of chemical weapons or long range missiles
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: and rockets, in order that they will not fall in
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: the hands of extremists.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Socials or go And they're all watching closely. Three Russian
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Navy ships have been seen in satellite infantry anchodoff Syria's coast.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: They left one of their Syria based military locations. They've
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: anchored off there. They're waiting to see as we all are.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: California is burning. Evacuations are underway. This fire is eighty
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: seen one hundred acres wide, and it's burning of Malibu.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: We have a lot of resources coming in from all
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: around the state helping the firefighters, and our shriff's deputies
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: have gone door to door making sure everyone is evacuated.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: And the fire is so fast moving that officials say
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: it tripled in size in just one hour. Staying with America,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Luigi Manngiani the man arrested for the killing of United
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Healthcare chief executive Brian Thompson. He has now been charged
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: with his murder.
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: In this case, really came down of technology, was the
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: use of drones in Central Park, and really comes down
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: to the video canvas that we did. We used every
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: source of video that we could collect, hundreds and hundreds
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: and hundreds of hours from hundreds of sources.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: In fact, investigator has also said he was not on
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: a list of possible suspects until yesterday. It's a good
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: police work and apparently he was identified in the McDonald's
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: because he spent some time flirting with a waitress. Oh,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: the best laid plans can fall apart. And in a
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Nevada court has ruled the billionaire Rupert Murdoch cannot change
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: his trust to hand control over to his eldest son
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: his succession. As Neva said, it's believed the case was
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: launched after Murdoch worried about his children not agreeing on
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: how to run his media and by the way, he
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: would once he died. A lawyer for Rupert says he's
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: going to appeal. How old is Rupert Murdoch. Well, first
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: of all, it's Keith Rupert Murdoch. He uses his middle name,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: which I didn't know until just now. The man is
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: ninety three years old.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day early
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: edition with Andrew Dickens and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Beds and Appliant Store, You Talk, sid Bey.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: There were some funny old reactions to Kiwibank being allowed
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: to look for New Zealand money to broaden its capital
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: base yesterday. You may remember I interviewed a banking academic
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: yesterday morning and when I asked, is this good? She cackled.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: I asked her would it make a difference, and she
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: actually just snorted and laughed. All the players are too
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: big and for them, if a billion there's no sweat.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: This will not crack them open, she said. During the day,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: others pontificated, why bother at all? Again, the big guys
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: are just too big. But can we just tie hoe
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: on that surrender monkey talk just for a moment, because
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: all the big guys started out small. Every business started
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: out small. If someone tells you not to start because
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: you're small, well no one would ever be big at all.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: And Kiwi Bank is not exactly tiny. In December of
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, the bank's assets totaled about thirty five
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: billion dollars. They have nine percent of our banking. They
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: are here, they've been here for a while, they have
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: a loyal market and they certainly deserve a chance. And
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Kiwi Bank has had a rocky ride, probably because of ideology,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: because it was Jim Anderton's idea that heaving great socialists.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: He thought we should have a New Zealand bank, a
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Kiwi Bank perhaps, and so he made it so center
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: right governments have never really invested in the idea. But
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: if you're a bank, at the end of the day,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: you are judged not by politicians but by your depositors.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: And so far Kiwi Bank is doing okay, but only okay.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: The proposer on the table now limits the ownership for
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: New Zealand owned and operated investment bodies. Okay, So only
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: New Zealand people can invest in Kiwibank and give them
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: the half million they need. So it's a partial privatization
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: with provisos. The bank will stay a Kiwibank. It's not
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: an asset sale. Of course, Remember the government promised those
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: wasn't aren't going to happen, So it's not really an
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: asset sale because the funds are going to stay in
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: the business, a business that's been in for twenty one years.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: So I think this is actually an elegant move and
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: well worth ago. Kiwi Bank has been hobbled for its
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: entire life by politics. It has been under capitalized, and
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: yet it still has the support of nearly ten percent
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: of Kiwis. It's so Kiwi.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: It's a little bank set up for sentimental reasons, that
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: is battle for its place and it's proudly coming fifth.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: There is no harm in giving the bank a bit
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: of a hand in what is an uneven playing field.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: And if it goes tits up, well then close it down.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: But for goodness sake, give it a fighting chance that
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: you can text me on ninety two ninety two. Hey,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: by the way, here it comes. It's becoming real. The
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: government is formulating the plan to stop delivering to some letterboxes.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: MB is floating an idea that five percent of mail
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: goes to a center and then you come and pick
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: up the mail yourself, which kind of defeats the whole
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: purpose of mail. Don't you think the Union is suggesting
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: they're planning to lay off seven hundred workers of Opponents
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: say ten percent of New Zealand does not have Internet access,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: which is a bad figure, but that means we need
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: the slow physical mail, the snail mail. So does this
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: concern you? The end of mail? And while we're on it,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: have you sent any Christmas cards? I haven't, are they
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: are dying breed, So giving your thoughts on the mail
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: and the Christmas cards. Ninety two ninety two is the
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: number to phone. And next we're looking into the dogs.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: It is the teen after five.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens and Smith City New Zealand's Furniture Beds and
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Applying Store Youth Talks.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Be It is sixteen after five. Racing Minister Winst and
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Peter's announced a ban on greyhound racing yesterday. With the
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: legislation passed under urgency. The racing dogs will not be
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: allowed to be euthanized. They will have to be rehomed.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: We're joined now by Anya Dale, who's from the SPCA,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: the Chief Scientific Officer.
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: Hello, Anya, Hello, good morning.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: You're big toughed.
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: We're absolutely delighted that Minister Peter's announced yesterday that the
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: racing industry will be banned in New Zealand by the
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: first of August twenty twenty six.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: It's amazing, the racing industry said, they were blindsided. But
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: have you been advocating for this for a while.
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: Yes, it has been advocating this for decades because the
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: sport is inherently dangerous and the injury and death rates
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: in greyhound racing just make it unsustainable. Just give you
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: an example. In the last financial year alone on track
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: there were nine hundred injuries and thirteen deaths. So it
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: is just the levels are just too high to make
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: it acceptable and greyhound racing has lost its social license.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: All right? Was it surprising coming from mister racing himself
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Winston Peters?
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: Well, no, we've been working with Minister Peters and the
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: Department of Internal Affairs on this for quite some time
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: and we know that Minister Peters is very concerned about
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: the welfare of greyhounds, so we are absolutely thrilled that
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: he made this very challenging but right decision.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Will you now be moving on to saving the horses.
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: Well, now we're going to work with the continue to
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: work with our Greyhound Rehome and coalition partners and the
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: Minister and the DIA in terms of working to rehome
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: all of the three thousand odd greyhounds in the industry,
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: because it's really important that all of these wonderful greyhounds
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: get put into loving family homes, which is exactly what
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: they deserve.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Indeed, are you avoided the question? But I don't mind.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about that rehoming because the dogs are not
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: allowed to be euthanized, so we have to find places.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Do you think there's going to be a struggle.
• 9:19
  Speaker 7: What is it done?
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: I think it's three thousand dogs, three.
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: Thousand approximately, that's correct. And what has been done is
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: it's great that they now no longer be able to
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: be killed. It's set by a veterinarian and on legitimate
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: health and welfare reasons, so that is fantastic. And we
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: have reformed a rehoming coalition over two years ago and
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: have a strategy and an operational plan and the costings
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: right down to the individual dog, and a very multi
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: pronged approach in terms of how we're going to rehome
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: all of these dogs. So we are absolutely certain that
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: after learning for all our counterparts and other countries where
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: greyhound racing has also been shut down. We've learned all
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: of the good things to do, not not to do,
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: and how to actually achieve this outcome, so we are
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: sure that we can work with the industry to achieve
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: this outcome.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Thank you for your time today, and I wish you
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: are the best of black and rehousing those dogs. I
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: know a dog. I know a greyhounds. My brother had one.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Will God rest it soul, funny little dog, big dog,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: actually very tall dog, a little bit edgy. It's fair
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: to say. There's a quote in the paper today from
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Dawn Glover, who owns rescue greyhounds. She says the dogs
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: are fifty percent elegant, fifty percent weird, and one hundred
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: percent lazy. And she likened them to the supermodels and
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: the cats of the dog world. Sounds like, if you
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: want one, you can get one. It is nineteen after five.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Simon Watts reckons that we're going to hit our mission
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: reduction target six years earlier than expected. How well, I'll
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: tell you why and whether he's right. Right after the
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: break here on New Stalks, Erebeg News and.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Views you trust has done your day. It's early edition
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: with Andrew Dickens and Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: and applying store youth talks.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: It'd be Texas are correcting me, saying say, euthanaize, not euthanized,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: and I'm afraid text is you're wrong too. Both words
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: are correct. Euthanasia is a noun and euthanized as a verb,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: so you euthanize something that when you're ah, why we're
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: all wrong? Both are right. Five twenty two, the government
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: reckons New Zealand could hit its net zero emissions goal
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: of twenty fifty six years earlier than expected, which will
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: be a surprise to some minister of a climate change
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Simon Watt says we could reach net zero as soon
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: as twenty forty four with his new emissions reduction plan,
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: which is released this morning. It has eight policy steps
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: to curb emissions. So I'll run you through, introducing agricultural
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: emissions pricing by twenty thirty, recognizing carbon capture as part
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: of the ETS, increasing the amount of gas captured by landfills,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: putting in ten thousand charging units for and more. So
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: I'm joined now by Victoria University Climate Change adjunct professor,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: a man with a long Business Guard again, Doctor Adrian
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Macy Hallo. Adrian, you're warning you've had a look at
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: the plan and work for Simon.
• 12:15
  Speaker 7: It's well, of course he looked a lot at twenty
• 12:19
  Speaker 7: fifty and twenty fifty's you know, that's sort of ten
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: governments ahead of us. But I think just what struck
• 12:26
  Speaker 7: me is two things actually. One, this plan has got
• 12:30
  Speaker 7: a very strong focus on the economy, on the health
• 12:33
  Speaker 7: of the economy, and a lot of the initiatives are
• 12:36
  Speaker 7: really integrated between economy and climate. And secondly, is that focus,
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: particularly the focus as you've had mentioned on the twenty
• 12:44
  Speaker 7: fifty goal, that's the really important one. And I think
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: what they're doing is they're giving a message to the
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: different sectors business, forestry, agriculture, We're not going to send
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: you to the wall. You've got to be see you
• 13:00
  Speaker 7: as being prosperous as part of the journey. But also
• 13:05
  Speaker 7: there's these sexral initiatives they look to me, they're all
• 13:10
  Speaker 7: seem to be quite sensible. The CCS one which you mentioned,
• 13:13
  Speaker 7: that's carbon capture and storage. A number of us think
• 13:16
  Speaker 7: that's going to play a big role if countries are
• 13:19
  Speaker 7: going to meet these net zero targets, so recognizing that
• 13:23
  Speaker 7: is useful. The EV's one rolling out charging stations.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: It does appear to be tingering around on the edges
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: on issues that we haven't really talked about. Everyone just
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: talks about, you know, get it an EV or whatever,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: let this get some more windmills. He's talking about improving
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: organic waste management and landfill gas capture because all these
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: little things do amount to something quite big.
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: Well, what he's done, I think is they've focused, yes,
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: sector bi sector on things that are quite they look
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: quite practical. The other thing they've done, which is not
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: quite so obvious, they've scrapped literally dozens and dozens of
• 13:55
  Speaker 7: projects that were underway in the different government departments which
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: look to be or from my view anyway, rather less
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: focused on this practical stuff. So I think in that
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: sense it's useful. There are a few questions marks. For example,
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: it looks if they're going to be very cautious about
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: changing the free allocation scheme. There's been the big industries
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: who can get some free allocation of units under the ETS,
• 14:18
  Speaker 7: more polluting ones, and they're certainly not saying, well, we're
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: going to scrape all those. So there's a few question
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: marks for sure good stuff.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Doctor Adrian Matick joins me from Victoria University. So there
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: we go. It looks like someone once might have done it.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: It is our five twenty five. It is News TALKSB
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: the early edition.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Talks AB News Talks ABB Wednesday. Halfway there, You're almost there,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: almost made it. Hey, This job of being a politician,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: of being a leader is always harder than you expect.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: We learned today that Mark Mitchell will not be introducing
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: legislation against boy races this year, even though all year
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: he said he would. In June, when it was all
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: going off in Levin, he was promising law to enable
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: the cops to seize the vehicles and to keep them
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: and to return to the good old days of crushing collins.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Let's crush those cars. But it's never happened, because it
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: is and I quote Mark Complex, no kidding. But look,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: if he's got some time on his hands to come
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: up with some rules and laws about this sort of thing,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: can I suggest he look at hitting the problem of
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: South Orcan's dirt bike hooligans, who made some headlines over
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: the weekend. South Orcan's Dirt bike rabble is a classic
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: gang technique and it needs to be stopped. What happens
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: is the gangs give out dirt bikes to the kids
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: and they've been doing this for ages. And these dirt
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: bikes are cheap and their mobile and their nippy, and
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: by the way, they're very handy for hit and run crime.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: They get young prospects into the bike culture that then
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: carries on into the adult gangs and they put the
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: kids on Harley's and Indians, but the dirt bikes is
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: where they start. And the dirt bikes are swarming and
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: they distract the police while the more hardened gang crims
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: carry on with business not wearing the patches because they're
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: not stupid. These kid gangs, in a way are even
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: more intimidatory and dangerous than the gang's proper. If you've
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: ever seen a swarm of dirt bikes in South Auckland,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: it's absolutely freakiously scary and horrific. And their kids and
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: they're all over the place and they're driving the wrong
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: way up the motorway and they swarm on the on
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: the streets, on mass and they indulge in street crime
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: rather than drugs or the fighting and scrapping. Rather than
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: just passing away some envelopes full of myth, they are
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: far more visible to the people on the street. You
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: are someone in South Auckland, and yet do you hear
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: anything about the South Auckland dirt bikes other than every
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: now and then when they burst into the headline. So, Mark,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: since you haven't got the boy racist stuff done yet,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: how about the dirt bike stuff. It's time for a
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: good crackdown and a good dose of crushing of these bikes.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: And it's time for a politician to start talking about
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: the growing threat. It's time for a politician to start
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: doing something about it.
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: Andrew Dicks.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: So I asked about in zim posts possibly reducing the
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: amount of mail it delivers. Nobody seems to be worried.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Nobody seems to be concerned. We seem to have moved on.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: I asked about Christmas cards. Shirley says she sent out
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: fifty this year. Cost one hundred and fifteen bucks in stamps.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Had to cut my list down. It's getting too expensive.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: She's thirty seven years old. Christmas cards are my favorite tradition.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Keep doing it, my love. News talks have been.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens on early edition with Smith City, New Zealand's
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: furniture beds and applying store youth talks. It be.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: As good morning, welcome back to the program. But a
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: cold play for you. By the way, if you've got
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: some time in your hands today, look up coldplay and
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Dick van Dyke. Stick that into YouTube and look at
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: the seven minute video that's been done by Spike Jones.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: It's magnificent. It'll make you cry. Dick Van Dyke ninety
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: nine years old. What a hero. Chris Martin, what a hero.
• 18:11
  Speaker 8: So there we go.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Now Text three, Andrew, where are you on Ducksun's racing?
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: My textas says, ducks on racing is slower the greyhounds,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: to be sure, but it's just as exciting and there's
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: less high speed crashes and it's better for the dogs.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Thank you for your sense of human and that's good.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: By the way, our terrorist threat level remains at low.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: That's good news, but don't sleep peacefully because low still
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: means a terrorist attack is still a realistic possibility. The
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: watchdogs stress that we live in a deteriorating global security environment.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: No kidding, Sherlock. I've noticed Meanwhile, who knows what may
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: happen in Syria. Look at what Israel's doing, Look what
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: russ is doing. There's a vacuum there. We don't know
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: who will fill it. What we do know is that
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Asad is an exile, still alive, and his wife finally
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: losing her privilege. Her name is Asthma Assad's. Asthma was
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: originally called Emma, and she was British born, and she
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: was British educated, and she was bright, and she was bubbly,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: and she went to Marylebone School for Gelds and she
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: could have been a success in so many fields. But
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: she met this boy at university and then sold her
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: soul to the devil for some pretty clothes and a
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: life of opulence. She married Asad. Clive James, the late
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: Great Ossie intellect and poet, once wrote a poem about
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: her and used the image of her unwrapping her silks
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: and cash beer while Syrians dangled with cracking wrists, screaming screams.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: She never heard. It was a good little poem. As
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Assad butchered her people, she said absolutely nothing. So frankly,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of people think she can just
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: go rotten hell twenty two to six. Callum Proctor morning,
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Welcome to the program and tell me about your stadiums well.
• 20:00
  Speaker 9: Daneedon Venues yesterday much to celebrate with yesterday's announcement the
• 20:04

• 20:11
  Speaker 9: exclusive will take place nine months out from the opening
• 20:14
  Speaker 9: of christ Church's newcovered stadium to Kaha Stadium. But so
• 20:18
  Speaker 9: that new competition on the scene isn't bothering our new
• 20:21
  Speaker 9: Daneedan Venues Chief executive Paul Dawn. He says that they
• 20:24
  Speaker 9: have to focus on themselves for now and work to
• 20:27
  Speaker 9: make the test as good as possible at Forsyth Bars
• 20:29
  Speaker 9: Stadium so weensid Rugby have a reason to choose them
• 20:32
  Speaker 9: again in the future.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: It's a great venue. I've been to a game there.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: I went there during the Lions tour and we won.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: The Highland has won anyway. How's your weather?

  Speaker 10: Environment Canterbury is voting on a proposal to increase bus
• 20:57
  Speaker 10: fears today, which includes the possibility of three dollar adult fears.
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: Now.
• 21:01
  Speaker 10: This follows mzta's request for a revenue increase, which lead
• 21:05
  Speaker 10: to concerns about arise from two dollar fares to eight dollars.
• 21:09
  Speaker 10: Counselor Joe Davies says they don't believe the agency or
• 21:12
  Speaker 10: the government's time frame expectations are realistic, but are opened
• 21:16
  Speaker 10: to discussing increasing revenue. He says fears need to be
• 21:20
  Speaker 10: lifted a little to indicate willingness to the government and
• 21:23
  Speaker 10: while it's not ideal, now is the time for the conversation.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. How's hell weather?
• 21:28
  Speaker 10: It's fine again here with high cloud increasing this afternoon,
• 21:31

  Speaker 2: told joins us Hello, Max, good morning. We all know
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: that Wellington suffering with public servants being laid off left,
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: right and center. But now some public servants have been
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: told by their boss how to retire and move to Australia.
• 21:47
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's right, a good story by Azariah Howld in
• 21:50
  Speaker 8: our newsroom. The job cuts still happening in the public
• 21:52
  Speaker 8: sector that's not finished. It won't be next year either.
• 21:55
  Speaker 8: This is about the Environmental Science and Research Agency, probably
• 22:00
  Speaker 8: more commonly known as ESR, which is cutting about forty rolls,
• 22:03
  Speaker 8: which represents about seven per cent of its workforce. It's
• 22:07
  Speaker 8: we have seen its final decisions document and in its
• 22:11
  Speaker 8: officials Yeah, provide advice to staff on what their next
• 22:15
  Speaker 8: steps may be, including perhaps oddly moving to Australia. There's
• 22:19
  Speaker 8: an offer to review CVS cover letters, help departing stuff,
• 22:23
  Speaker 8: prepare for other interviews, advice on optimizing their LinkedIn profiles,
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: and also advice on retirement, semi retirement or otherwise. And
• 22:31
  Speaker 8: in typically a bureaucratic language, it's not called retirement but
• 22:35
  Speaker 8: transitioning to your next work life balance adventure. People are
• 22:40
  Speaker 8: still finding out if they're safe or not now and
• 22:43
  Speaker 8: in the run up to Christmas.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: And the interim CEO that's Sir Eshley Bloomfield, isn't it exactly?
• 22:48
  Speaker 8: He wouldn't be interviewed for this story.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: No kidding. He sounds embarrassed. What's your weather like?
• 22:54
  Speaker 8: Should be fine? Fresh Northerlys nineteen The High Central and why.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: Can We go? Nei A written man Keeppie weinsda. Yes,

• 23:06
  Speaker 2: because why that's called business. This is called business. We
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: keep the wheels turning. Speaking of wheels turning, more problems
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: in retail Sephora this time.
• 23:16
  Speaker 11: Yes, now, Sophora's losses have climbed at twenty five million dollars.
• 23:19
  Speaker 11: This is since incorporating year about six years ago. Business
• 23:23
  Speaker 11: Desk is reporting that Sephora in Z has reported a
• 23:26
  Speaker 11: three point nine million dollar net loss after text. This
• 23:29
  Speaker 11: is for the past calendar year. Now, this deficit is
• 23:32
  Speaker 11: sixty three percent less than its ten point six million
• 23:35
  Speaker 11: dollar loss the year before. Now you'll remember, do you
• 23:38
  Speaker 11: remember this, Andrew? That in June Sephora in ZED announced
• 23:41
  Speaker 11: the closure of its Queen Street store, and that had
• 23:44
  Speaker 11: opened with lots of fanfare back in July twenty nineteen.
• 23:47
  Speaker 11: It still has two stores, one a new market and
• 23:50
  Speaker 11: the other one in Sylvia Park.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: It's very good, but it's a hard market.
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Beauty Masmetics Mecca is there first.
• 23:57
  Speaker 11: That's pretty popular too.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Absolutely absolutely. How's that weather cloud?
• 24:01
  Speaker 11: Increasing? Few showers developing this evening twenty four is the
• 24:04
  Speaker 11: high today in auclud.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Gavin Gray from the UK after the break, and we're
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: going to talk about Syria and what the UK's doing.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Did you know that between twenty eleven and twenty twenty one,
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: thirty thousand Syrians granted asylum in the UK, So there's
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: a big part of the population there and a lot
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: of them want to go home. So there are issues
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: and we'll talk about this next. It is definitely time
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: to upgrade the couch, It is definitely time to sort
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: out the appliances, and this is the best time to
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: do it. At Smith's Cities, who have been doing it
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: for over one hundred years. There's still one hundred percent
• 24:31

• 24:58
  Speaker 2: There are amazing discounts and if you find a bitter
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: deal someplace else, of course they'll match it. So why
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: waste time when smith City is right there and it
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: gets better. You can also earn air points dollars while
• 25:09

  Speaker 2: next holiday. It's all the win win. Smith City eighteen

• 25:21
  Speaker 1: In international correspondence with ins and Eye Insurance Feace of
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Mind for New Zealand business.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: Devin Gray from the UK joins us hell A Gavin
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: either Andrew. Awful lot of Syrians, awful lot of Syrians
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: in the UK. So where is the UK standing on
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: the Syrian issue right now?
• 25:39
  Speaker 12: Well, they have decided to pause decisions on further Syrian
• 25:43
  Speaker 12: asylum claims after basher alisade was overthrown. The government's saying
• 25:48
  Speaker 12: the situation is moving fast. Some people are returning to
• 25:51
  Speaker 12: Syria following recent developments, But there's another theory. With so
• 25:54
  Speaker 12: many refugees out of Syria. Some may actually think no,
• 25:59
  Speaker 12: actually that I'm gonna you don't try and make the
• 26:01
  Speaker 12: journey anyway, So there's almost fear, as it were, of
• 26:03
  Speaker 12: a second wave. Between twenty eleven and twenty twenty one,
• 26:06
  Speaker 12: more than thirty thousand Syrians were granted asylum in the UK.
• 26:10
  Speaker 12: There was a big program to allow them in. However,
• 26:13
  Speaker 12: more than nine thousand Syrians have also been picked up
• 26:16
  Speaker 12: on the coast, entering the country illegally, having crossed the
• 26:20
  Speaker 12: channel in small boats. Indeed, Syrians accounted for the fifth
• 26:23
  Speaker 12: largest number of silent claims in the year ending of
• 26:26
  Speaker 12: September this year, and almost all those who requested asylum
• 26:30
  Speaker 12: have been given the right to stay. So the big
• 26:32
  Speaker 12: question is now, with this pausing, what will happen after that?
• 26:36
  Speaker 12: And will some of those some thirty forty thousand still
• 26:40
  Speaker 12: estimated to be in the UK, will they stay or
• 26:42
  Speaker 12: will they actually decide to go back to Syria.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: And so that explains why you see just incredible pictures
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: out a Trafagar Square of celebrations after what happened. But yes,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: the big question for the world what will happen next? Meanwhile,
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: speaking of migrants, what's happening in Germany.
• 26:56
  Speaker 12: Well, I believe it or not, Facilitating people smiling is
• 27:00
  Speaker 12: not technically illegal in Germany currently if that country that
• 27:05
  Speaker 12: their third country is outside the EU, and of course,
• 27:08
  Speaker 12: following Brexit that means the UK. So it is thought
• 27:12
  Speaker 12: that actually Germany has inadvertently become a central hub to
• 27:15
  Speaker 12: the people smuggling networks, using Germany as sort of warehousing
• 27:19
  Speaker 12: for boats and then getting the boats to the French
• 27:23
  Speaker 12: shores northern France in order to get across to the UK.
• 27:26
  Speaker 12: But Germany has finally agreed to tighten its law to
• 27:29
  Speaker 12: make it much easier to prosecute those helping to smuggle
• 27:32
  Speaker 12: migrants to the UK. A new plan has green agreed
• 27:35
  Speaker 12: by the two countries. In the past. Our new Prime
• 27:38
  Speaker 12: Minister as of July Sekirstarmers said that many of the
• 27:41
  Speaker 12: previous plans by the previous governments simply weren't workable. He
• 27:45
  Speaker 12: said he was going to go after the people smugglers,
• 27:47
  Speaker 12: try to get cooperation from the rest in Europe and
• 27:50
  Speaker 12: perhaps this is a sign that this may help. However,
• 27:53
  Speaker 12: once you cut off one tentacle of these networks have
• 27:55
  Speaker 12: seemed that at least another one or two seem to grow.
• 27:58
  Speaker 12: So I'm not quite sure to fake this will out,
• 28:01
  Speaker 12: but so far Andrew more than thirty three thousand across
• 28:04
  Speaker 12: the English Channel by small boats into the UK illegally.
• 28:07
  Speaker 12: That's considerably higher than the twenty nine thousand from all
• 28:10
  Speaker 12: of last year.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Good stuff. Gavin Gray from the UK. And it is
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: now eleven minutes after six. So this is news talk set.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: B Andrew Diggins Countries.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: How have you caught up with this? Country? Singer Randy
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: Travis has a new song out which is incredible because
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: he lost the ability to sing in twenty thirteen after
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: in the fatal stroke. He can't sing, and yet he's
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: got a brand new single out. How he recreated his
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: voice using AI. Now this is a good thing because
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: his voice is his voice and if the single sells,
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: he'll get the money. So he may have had a stroke,
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: he may not be able to sing. However, he's smart
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: enough to figure out how to use the technology so
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: that they can keep a business. So the other day,
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: this is two days ago. In fact, it was at
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: the end of last week the first ever global study
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: measuring the economic impact of AI and the music and
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: audio visual sectors came out and it calculated that general
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: of AI will enrich tech companies while substantially jeopardizing the
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: income of human creators over the next five years. Because
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: here's the thing. Why pay a human when a computer
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: can do it for free? So byonn from Abber, great songwriter,
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: has been talking about this. He's the chairman of a
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: group looking after the rights of artists, and he says
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: the problem is that AI learns to write and perform
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: songs by listening to streaming services, So it's stealing the
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: artist's intellectual property. So instead of having to go through
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: all the hard times, feel the blues, walk the roads,
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: learn the chords and all that sort of thing, the
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: computer just listens to Spotify and goes, oh, that's how
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: Beyond from Abber managed to write all those great songs.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: I know how to write great songs. There's the computer.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: I'll write a great song. And not only that, what
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: voice do I like? I'll choose that as well. Let's
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: just do it and they pay nothing now. Beyond from
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: Abber also in the report singled out Australia and New
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Zealand as the only countries actively taking steps to control
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: the rape of creativity. Yes, I said that the rape
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: of creativity by AI and the tech company, So go us.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: But you know, have you ever stopped and wondered whether
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: AI might be out of control? It isn't, because we're
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: in control. We make these decisions. We've decided to invent AI.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: We've created AI, we use AI. We can choose to
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: use it. We can choose in which way to use it.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: And I think the world is suddenly waking up to
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: the fact that some people don't choose the right way
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: to use it, and some people might actually use it
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: in a bad way, and that mister Cameron and his
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: film terminator wasn't awfully far away from the truth. Because
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: when the AI starts deciding what's the worst thing for
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: the planet, they may decide it's us go by or
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: from Abbott and think about it. And it is eight
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: minutes to six.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Andrew Dickens and spit City New

• 31:03
  Speaker 2: It'd be I don't like to throw people under the bus,
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: But we were supposed to be talking to a fella
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: from the maritime industry about the fairies today, but the
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: maritime industry. Fella was not awakened, did not answer his phone,
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: which surprises me because I always thought the people in
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: the maritime industry always woke at dawn to check out
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: the weather conditions, to find out the prevailing wind, to
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: find out what's happening. But no, not in this case.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: This guy obviously has become soft an office bound and
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: let me down. But not here, the duperc Allen is here.
• 31:32
  Speaker 13: No, But to be fair, to be fair, I did
• 31:35
  Speaker 13: walk into the studio while you're already talking.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: I know, so I was late as well. Are you
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: having a day of it?
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: Are?
• 31:40
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: There we are. It's all good. So what do you do?
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: You do you want to talk about your big secret
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: about tax and lefties and all that? Or are you
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: going to keep that for the audience for later?
• 31:52
  Speaker 13: Are you talking about Dibbingardi a packer?
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 31:55
  Speaker 13: Oh well no, I'm happy to talk about it. Dibbing
• 31:58
  Speaker 13: Ardi were packers had had an absolute stellar of a
• 32:01
  Speaker 13: day yesterday where she announced that we would be making
• 32:04
  Speaker 13: if we do you know how rich we're going to
• 32:05
  Speaker 13: be if we're bringing the capital gains tax.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: It's an extraordinary im mensely it means obviously.
• 32:09
  Speaker 13: Yeah, in about five years, we would bring in twenty billion, no,
• 32:13
  Speaker 13: two hundred billion dollars. Oh really into the country's coffers. Yeah,
• 32:17
  Speaker 13: which is a remarkable number because if you if you
• 32:19
  Speaker 13: consider it over five years, that's bought like forty million,
• 32:21
  Speaker 13: fifty million bucks billion sorry, every single year, the.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: Entire worth of New Zealand. In fact, more there's the
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: entire debt of New Zealand, both government and private. It's
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: a big number.
• 32:32
  Speaker 13: I mean, I think I heard Thomas Coglan from The
• 32:34
  Speaker 13: Herald saying yesterday that is in twenty twenty one. Remember
• 32:38
  Speaker 13: when we post COVID in twenty twenty one, we had
• 32:40
  Speaker 13: that big year of everybody buying houses. Everybody wanted to
• 32:43
  Speaker 13: beach house and stuff like that, so that was like
• 32:45
  Speaker 13: the biggest house selling year we ever had. I think
• 32:48
  Speaker 13: that the entire country bought about forty billion dollars worth
• 32:52
  Speaker 13: of housing stock in that year. So if we would
• 32:54
  Speaker 13: have to have for her numbers to be right, we'd
• 32:56
  Speaker 13: have to repeat that same year every single year, and
• 33:00
  Speaker 13: we would have to tax the house at one hundred percent.
• 33:03
  Speaker 13: So I'm feeling like Debbie's off with that.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: Well, have you ever heard about the radical Left ever
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: being in any way, shape or form economically literate.
• 33:11
  Speaker 13: Well, she's not helping the case. Labor must be pulling
• 33:14
  Speaker 13: their hair out. But between the Greens and.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: Their ideas and the left views taxes punishment. Yeah, they
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: don't view it as revenue to actually be collective and
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: for us to improve ourselves, to be investment in the country.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: They view it as punishment. It's all envy, and it's
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: all envy and punishment. It's just a different.
• 33:31
  Speaker 13: Perspective on money, on wealth, right, it's the collective versus
• 33:34
  Speaker 13: the individual. Like you make your money, you think it's yours.
• 33:37
  Speaker 13: You make your money, they think it's everybody's because we're
• 33:39
  Speaker 13: all in this.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: But also, I make some money. I don't mind paying
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: some money so that I've got a decent road that
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: doesn't have a pothole that I can drive off.
• 33:45
  Speaker 13: I'll sell you what I'm fascinated by.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: Though.
• 33:46
  Speaker 13: We're going to have a chat to the guys from
• 33:48
  Speaker 13: the greyhound industry this morning, because it sounds like that
• 33:51
  Speaker 13: decision that that came from Winston Peters yesterday. They had
• 33:54
  Speaker 13: about forty five minutes heads up that that was happening there.
• 33:56
  Speaker 13: It's remarkable.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: I talked to the SBCA. They say they've been advocating
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: for years.
• 34:00
  Speaker 13: Yeah, and then all of a sudden, there have been
• 34:01
  Speaker 13: quite a few announcements in the last week that have
