0:15
Speaker 2: It'd be just gone six half to five. Welcome to
0:18
Speaker 2: your Friday morning news Talks to b I've just had
0:21
Speaker 2: a photo from a soaking wet Mitch McCann, who's in
0:25
Speaker 2: Augustine in Florida for US tracking the Hurricane Milton as
0:30
Speaker 2: it makes landfall there. The short story doesn't sound as
0:33
Speaker 2: bad as perhaps some thought it might have been. Anyway,
0:36
Speaker 2: we're going to catch up with him later in the show.
0:38
Speaker 2: Also before six, Labour's finance spokesperson on the government's books,
0:42
Speaker 2: Who's going to win the America's Cup, a europe correspondent

Speaker 2: on North Korean troops seen on the front line in Ukraine,
0:50
Speaker 2: and why we're too fussy when it comes to buying
0:52
Speaker 2: a house in New Zealand.
0:55
Speaker 3: The agenda.
0:57
Speaker 2: It is finally the eleventh of October. The UN says
0:59
Speaker 2: Israel is repeatedly firing. It's firing on its own peacekeepers
1:04
Speaker 2: in southern Lebanon. Two UN peacekeepers have been injured in
1:07
Speaker 2: the past twenty four hours.
1:08
Speaker 4: These are high profile bases. They're designed like that. The
1:12
Speaker 4: United Nations peacekeepers drive around in white military vehicles. They
1:18
Speaker 4: wear blue hats. They're designed to be high visibility.
1:22
Speaker 2: US inflation data out and it's reached its lowest point
1:26
Speaker 2: in three years. Consumer prices up two point four percent
1:29
Speaker 2: September this year compared to last year. That's the smallest
1:33
Speaker 2: annual rise since the start of twenty twenty one. But
1:37
Speaker 2: there is more to the story, and it's not that good.
1:39
Speaker 2: I'll explain it soon. NATO's new chiefs weighing in on Ukraine,
1:44
Speaker 2: Mark Rutta. He's the former Dutch Prime Minister.
1:46
Speaker 5: It's crucial for Ukraine to fulfill and we have to
1:51
Speaker 5: afford that. Put in woodcutters where with and in Ukraine,
1:56
Speaker 5: because there's not only a problem for Ukraine, there's also
1:58
Speaker 5: a sweat to all of our.
2:00
Speaker 2: Rutter, of course, is an old mate of Luxin's. They
2:03
Speaker 2: both worked at UNI lever together. So that you go
2:06
Speaker 2: some intel. Tennis star Ruffae Nadell is retiring. He has
2:10
Speaker 2: released a video message. It is all in Spanish. We
2:13
Speaker 2: don't speak Spanish. Here is him talking about it in May.
2:16
Speaker 6: It's about the body was not able to play weeks
2:20
Speaker 6: in a row.
2:20
Speaker 3: Was not able to allow me to practice and enjoy
2:23
Speaker 3: the practices.
2:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, basically it's injuries that has got to him. Thirty
2:28
Speaker 2: eight years old, twenty two Grand Slam titles, and it
2:32
Speaker 2: sounds like it was Niggley injuries that just kept him
2:35
Speaker 2: playing from his best. It is eight minutes after.
2:37
Speaker 3: Five the first Word on the News of the Day
2:42
Speaker 3: Early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's
2:45
Speaker 3: Furniture Beds and a playing Store News Talk Zippy.
2:49
Speaker 2: I don't know where to start this morning. We'll begin
2:51
Speaker 2: with Auckland because there's lots of little things going on
2:54
Speaker 2: and I think they're all important Auckland. So Auckland Council
2:57
Speaker 2: had that dumb idea. This was a couple of months ago,
3:01
Speaker 2: a really dumb idea to actually the dumbest idea since
3:04
Speaker 2: they brought in the green food scrap bins. The idea
3:08
Speaker 2: was it was an authoritarian edict from on high to
3:13
Speaker 2: have your rubbish collected every two weeks instead of every week.
3:18
Speaker 2: They must have been high when they were planning this silly,
3:22
Speaker 2: silly idea. Anyway, it was in an effort to revive
3:25
Speaker 2: the plague and boost rodent numbers. That was two months ago.
3:29
Speaker 2: Now they have decided to ditch that and go with
3:31
Speaker 2: a trial. So just hold off on the vaccine for
3:33
Speaker 2: the plague, just for the minute. Hopefully we won't need it.
3:36
Speaker 2: In Wellington. You would have seen this in the news yesterday.
3:40
Speaker 2: They have decided to keep the airport shares and I
3:44
Speaker 2: would have thought and actually the mere Tory Farno voted
3:48
Speaker 2: to keep sell the shares, but most of the councilors
3:52
Speaker 2: voted to keep the shares, and including some right leaning councilors.
3:54
Speaker 2: And I was like, what are you doing. You guys
3:56
Speaker 2: have got pipes bursting. You need to save my This
4:00
Speaker 2: is a way to raise some revenue without heading rates.
4:03
Speaker 2: Why wouldn't you sell the shares anyway, went to a
4:06
Speaker 2: guy called Tony Randall. He's a smart guy. Had him
4:09
Speaker 2: on the show before. I don't know if I had
4:11
Speaker 2: him on this show anyways, a smart guy. He's the one.
4:13
Speaker 2: He used to be an it guy. He used to
4:15
Speaker 2: be a business analyst, worked in public and private sector.
4:18
Speaker 2: He's the guy who when in Wellington they were trying
4:21
Speaker 2: to reduce these speed limits down to thirty kilometers an
4:23
Speaker 2: hour and they put a business case forward Now, this
4:27
Speaker 2: business case had gone through every different official at the council,
4:30
Speaker 2: it had been independently pair reviewed up the wazoo, and
4:34
Speaker 2: it got to his desk, and he's the only one
4:38
Speaker 2: who realized there was a two hundred and fifty million
4:41
Speaker 2: dollar hole in their numbers. They said, if you bring
4:47
Speaker 2: the speed limits down in basically all streets in Wellington,
4:51
Speaker 2: the cost benefit would be seven point seven. So for
4:53
Speaker 2: every dollar you spend, you get seven point seven back.
4:57
Speaker 2: Actually it was for every dollar you spend. Who's a
5:00
Speaker 2: dollar eighty Okay, so this guy knows what he's talking about. Anyway,
5:03
Speaker 2: I emailed him yesterday Leo did. Thank you Leo, just
5:06
Speaker 2: to find out what he thought about it. He said,
5:08
Speaker 2: today the majority changed the decision on the sale of
5:11
Speaker 2: the airport shares, and this is democracy and action. I
5:14
Speaker 2: am happy we will re establish the insurance debt headroom
5:18
Speaker 2: and that we will have to cut some of the
5:20
Speaker 2: major projects to do this. This city needs to make
5:24
Speaker 2: the hard decisions to focus only on essential services and
5:28
Speaker 2: projects so we can turn the corner on fixing the pipes,
5:33
Speaker 2: which is the biggest decision this council will have to make.
5:37
Speaker 2: So there you go. Those are the words of Tony Randall,
5:39
Speaker 2: who has written to our program this morning. It's basically
5:43
Speaker 2: what I think they've done. Did you want to sell
5:45
Speaker 2: the shares and then have that money floating around in
5:50
Speaker 2: the coffers for all those wackos on the other side
5:53
Speaker 2: of the council table to go and spend on even
5:56
Speaker 2: more ridiculous stuff. Or do you keep those shares, have
6:00
Speaker 2: a headroom for the insurance and kind of force them
6:03
Speaker 2: to cut budgets on dumb projects. I think that's the
6:06
Speaker 2: approach that they've taken. Correct me if I'm wrong. Nine
6:09
Speaker 2: to nine two the number to text. Twelve minutes after.
6:12
Speaker 3: Five, Ryan Bridge, some.
6:17
Speaker 7: Job.
6:20
Speaker 2: Yes, So four people have died in Hurricane Milton and
6:24
Speaker 2: it's still causing damage across Florida at the moment. We're
6:27
Speaker 2: going to go to Florida. Our report of Mitch McCanns.
6:30
Speaker 2: They're live next.
6:32
Speaker 7: Good Down, Begging Up with Jesus on your radio and
6:38
Speaker 7: online on iHeartRadio early edition with Ryan Bridge and spit City,
6:43
Speaker 7: New Zealand's Furniture Beds and applying store News Talk ZIB.
6:47
Speaker 2: Quarter past five on news Talk saidb so. North Korean
6:49
Speaker 2: military engineers have apparently been deployed to help Russia target Ukraine.
6:54
Speaker 2: This is with their ballistic missiles. The North Koreans have
6:57
Speaker 2: been operating in occupied areas of Ukraine. Some of them
7:01
Speaker 2: have already been killed. Now this information has come from
7:03
Speaker 2: Kiev in Ukraine, but also from Seoul, so is considered
7:07
Speaker 2: relatively reliable. You might be asking yourself what on earth
7:11
Speaker 2: North Koreans doing on the front lines in Ukraine. Well,
7:14
Speaker 2: the answer, of course is Putin and Kim Jong and
7:18
Speaker 2: our mates, and clearly he's supplying him with much needed expertise.
7:23
Speaker 2: Quarter past five, Ryan Bridge, It's taken a lot of
7:26
Speaker 2: expertise to evacuate some of those trapped by the floodwaters.
7:31
Speaker 2: We're going to. This is a hurricane Melton, forgive me.
7:36
Speaker 2: I was about to say, Helene. We're going to Saint
7:38
Speaker 2: Augustine now in Florida, where US correspondent Mitch McCann is
7:42
Speaker 2: standing by. Mitch, how is it there, Good morning, Ryan.
7:47
Speaker 8: It is wet, it is windy, and it is pretty
7:50
Speaker 8: cold here at the moment. I'm just looking out of
7:52
Speaker 8: the water where I am where the hurricane, the back
7:55
Speaker 8: end of the hurricane passer last night, and there's still
7:58
Speaker 8: you know, sort of surges with the top of the barriers.
8:01
Speaker 2: Here surface flooding.
8:02
Speaker 8: A number of the businesses have got their sandbags across
8:06
Speaker 8: their buildings. But really here in many parts of Florida,
8:10
Speaker 8: it wasn't as bad as perhaps it was forecast to
8:13
Speaker 8: b last night.
8:14
Speaker 2: How many I think the death toll was at four
8:16
Speaker 2: at the moment. Lots of people evacuated, our authorities saying
8:20
Speaker 2: the worst is over now.
8:23
Speaker 8: Well, the latest information that we have in the last
8:25
Speaker 8: couple of moments is that death toll is now six
8:29
Speaker 8: and the scale of the damage is really only becoming clear.
8:31
Speaker 8: So four people died in a retirement community in Saint
8:35
Speaker 8: Lucy County that was reportedly as a result of tornadoes
8:38
Speaker 8: that were around before the actual storm hit last night.
8:42
Speaker 8: A number of people had to be rescued there as well,
8:44
Speaker 8: and two people now we know have also died in
8:47
Speaker 8: the city of Saint Petersburg. In terms of rescues, which
8:50
Speaker 8: you've talked about in Tampa, one hundred and thirty five
8:53
Speaker 8: people had to be rescued from an assisted living facility
8:57
Speaker 8: where first responders arrived and they found people up to
8:59
Speaker 8: their waste and water. In terms of the infrastructure damage, Ryan,
9:03
Speaker 8: there's some extraordinary pictures we've seen this morning coming out
9:06
Speaker 8: of Saint Petersburg, a Major League Baseball stadium called Tropa
9:10
Speaker 8: Khana Field. The roof there was pretty much ripped off
9:13
Speaker 8: because of the hurricane. And just down the road in
9:16
Speaker 8: the same city, Saint Petersburg, a large crane was blown over,
9:20
Speaker 8: toppled into a nearby building and caused that building is
9:24
Speaker 8: pretty much destroyed now. So there are some big situations
9:28
Speaker 8: like that that have happened. But as I say, you know,
9:30
Speaker 8: as the afternoon goes on, people are going to go
9:32
Speaker 8: out and find more damage. So the entire scale isn't
9:35
Speaker 8: clear just yet.
9:37
Speaker 2: Merchet's obviously early days, but this stuff always eventually becomes political.
9:41
Speaker 2: The response to it, that is, how are they being judged?
9:44
Speaker 2: That is both Trump and Harris at the moment.
9:47
Speaker 8: Well, this has become really political. Even after a Hurricane
9:51
Speaker 8: Helen last week. Donald Trump was one of the first candidates,
9:53
Speaker 8: first politicians, I guess to arrive and talk to people
9:56
Speaker 8: on the scene. Then Kamala Harris has been there, Joe
9:59
Speaker 8: Biden's been there. There's been a bit of a dispute
10:01
Speaker 8: between the Governor of Florida, Ronda Santis and Kamala Harris
10:05
Speaker 8: because he reportedly refused to pick up her phone calls.
10:09
Speaker 8: But he said, why is she even calling me? She's
10:11
Speaker 8: never called before when there's been a hurricane. Donald Trump,
10:14
Speaker 8: on the other hand, has been accused of blaket misinformation,
10:17
Speaker 8: saying things like the money that was supposed to go
10:19
Speaker 8: to survivors or people in need is actually going to
10:22
Speaker 8: illegal immigrants, and people are believing these sort of things.
10:25
Speaker 8: Marjorie Taylor Green, who I know we've probably talked about before,
10:28
Speaker 8: is a Republican congresswoman who suggested on social media that
10:32
Speaker 8: these hurricanes might be engineered, they might be human caused hurricanes,
10:37
Speaker 8: which is obviously completely wrong. But you know, some people
10:41
Speaker 8: in some of these states do believe what their politicians
10:43
Speaker 8: tell them. So the White House has had to go
10:45
Speaker 8: on a sort of big campaign to combat misinformation.
10:48
Speaker 2: Goodness, May she's talking cloud seeding, isn't she. Mitch, thank
10:51
Speaker 2: you for that. Mitch McCann, our US correspondent with US
10:54
Speaker 2: Live from Saint Augustine and Florida. The good news as well,
10:57
Speaker 2: the sad news is four people six people now have
10:59
Speaker 2: lost their lives, but not as bad as feared. It
11:02
Speaker 2: is nineteen after five News TALKSB.
11:06
Speaker 3: News and Views you Trust to start your day. It's
11:09
Speaker 3: early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's
11:13
Speaker 3: Furniture Beds and a Flying Store. News Talks EDB.
11:16
Speaker 2: Friday morning, we had inflation data out from the US
11:19
Speaker 2: overnight the September year on year up two point four percent.
11:22
Speaker 2: They were expecting two point three percent. So inflation cooling. Yes,
11:26
Speaker 2: that is good, as quickly as expected. No, that's not
11:30
Speaker 2: so good. The Fed is doing a decision next month,
11:34
Speaker 2: and what we want is for them to cut cut, cut,
11:36
Speaker 2: much in the same way our Reserve Bank has here.
11:39
Speaker 2: Our core prices is the problem. This is prices excluding
11:42
Speaker 2: food and energy. They are above expectations. There's also some
11:46
Speaker 2: more data coming out tonight our time, so fingers crossed,
11:49
Speaker 2: we can just start hacking away at those rates. Twenty
11:52
Speaker 2: two after five Ryan Bridge. Sunday marks the start of
11:56
Speaker 2: a big week ahead of Emirates Team New Zealand as
11:59
Speaker 2: they face Any Britannia in the race to retain the
12:01
Speaker 2: America's Cup. Thirteen races first to seven. When's weather plays
12:05
Speaker 2: ball first should be Sunday morning, very early our time.
12:09
Speaker 2: Richard Gladwell is the Sale Sale World end Z editor.
12:14
Speaker 2: He's with us this morning. Good morning, Richard, Great, I'm
12:17
Speaker 2: very well, Thank you. Are you feeling confident?
12:22
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, I mean, I think the thing with the
12:26
Speaker 9: cup is it's it's always the defenders to lose, So
12:30
Speaker 9: the defender has already got to screw something up to
12:33
Speaker 9: lose it. But I think, you know, when you look
12:35
Speaker 9: back at it, they haven't had a lot of racing
12:38
Speaker 9: against anyos, but yeah, I mean a team Zell Rook sharp,
12:45
Speaker 9: and they should should be able to do with They've
12:48
Speaker 9: always had a design edge over the other guys, and
12:52
Speaker 9: it's just all part and parcel of you know, the
12:54
Speaker 9: advantage that the defender does have. People look at that
12:58
Speaker 9: racing and think it was already close in the Challenges series,
13:02
Speaker 9: but the point they forget is that Temy Films have
13:05
Speaker 9: another three months of development on top of those guys,
13:09
Speaker 9: so you know, you can certainly do a lot in there.
13:11
Speaker 9: And I don't think this is going to be a
13:14
Speaker 9: speed contest. I don't think there's you know, it's a
13:17
Speaker 9: race that's going to be won by super Boat, but
13:20
Speaker 9: I think they will have just that little little edge.
13:23
Speaker 2: I was going to ask about speed. Should we be
13:25
Speaker 2: worried that they didn't race at the top end speeds
13:28
Speaker 2: and so far in Barcelona.
13:30
Speaker 9: Well, I think it's going to work against the British,
13:33
Speaker 9: to be honest, because most of their racing was in
13:36
Speaker 9: strong wines and the forecast for the weekend of Monday
13:42
Speaker 9: is pretty light winds, so there will certainly have a
13:44
Speaker 9: lighter end of the lighter end of the scale. So yeah,
13:48
Speaker 9: it helps us. I think you're just yeah, it's just
13:54
Speaker 9: I mean it's very hard to read, and I mean
13:55
Speaker 9: everyone gets super nervous about it and and all that
13:58
Speaker 9: sort of thing. Will these races are very tight. I
14:01
Speaker 9: mean the legs are only about three and a half
14:05
Speaker 9: minutes long. You know, it's all over very quickly, ore
14:10
Speaker 9: extending about to eight leagues to get to their target time,
14:15
Speaker 9: which is about twenty six minutes. But you know, you
14:20
Speaker 9: do see a lot go on there.
14:22
Speaker 2: Do you do you think do you think many people
14:24
Speaker 2: will watched Richard? I mean, obviously the timing is terrible
14:26
Speaker 2: for here in New Zealand, but.
14:29
Speaker 9: Well, I don't know, and I think it's that is
14:32
Speaker 9: really bad for New Zealand because you know, you hear
14:34
Speaker 9: people now, they won't get up and look at it,
14:37
Speaker 9: you know, midnight or one in the morning. And the
14:40
Speaker 9: other problem they've got over there, particularly when you like
14:43
Speaker 9: it's just I mean, I've been up working all night.
14:45
Speaker 9: But the women there, they started they tried having one
14:50
Speaker 9: race at twelve o'clock their time, which is one o'clock
14:53
Speaker 9: in the morning our time back got wiped out with
14:57
Speaker 9: these terrible cross seas that were so everyone was falling
15:01
Speaker 9: off foils, and they stayed around for another three hours
15:06
Speaker 9: after that then gave it away.
15:08
Speaker 2: See that's the thing, Richard. If you're getting up to
15:11
Speaker 2: watch and then you're waiting, waiting, waiting while everyone's falling over,
15:14
Speaker 2: you may not stay up too late. Richard, thank you
15:17
Speaker 2: very much for your time. Great to have you on
15:18
Speaker 2: the show. As always, Richard Gladwell's Sale World New Zealand editor.
15:22
Speaker 2: The America's Cup kicks off proper Sunday Morning, Our Time,
15:26
Speaker 2: the early edition.
15:27
Speaker 3: Full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News Talks.
15:31
Speaker 2: It be Friday Morning News Talk said, b If these
15:34
Speaker 2: new trade me numbers are to be believed, and I
15:37
Speaker 2: have no doubt about them, I have no reason not
15:39
Speaker 2: to believe them, then the biggest problem that we have
15:41
Speaker 2: with property and getting a foot on the ladder is
15:45
Speaker 2: not price. We're not too poor, we're too fussy. So
15:50
Speaker 2: trade me has surveyed its members as the market's showing
15:53
Speaker 2: green shoots, et cetera, et cetera. Forty four percent of
15:56
Speaker 2: buyers we're willing to compromise on the size of a section,
16:00
Speaker 2: only forty percent on the size of the property, only
16:02
Speaker 2: forty percent on the size of the garden, only thirty
16:06
Speaker 2: three percent on the condition of the property, and twenty
16:08
Speaker 2: eight percent on the location. So if you flip those numbers,
16:10
Speaker 2: around fifty five percent of people won't compromise on section size.
16:15
Speaker 2: I'll have the section size I like and nothing else.
16:18
Speaker 2: Sixty percent no compromise on the size of the property,
16:22
Speaker 2: sixty percent none on the garden, sixty seven percent it
16:26
Speaker 2: must be new or near new, thank you very much.
16:29
Speaker 2: And seventy two percent won't travel or leave their favorite suburb.
16:34
Speaker 2: I mean hard to please much. Hey, I bought a
16:37
Speaker 2: house with holes in the floor and the walls. There
16:41
Speaker 2: were plants growing from the ground up into my bathroom.
16:46
Speaker 2: The shower pulled. I had to use a bucket to
16:48
Speaker 2: empty the shower every morning. This carried on for two years.
16:52
Speaker 2: In fact, the shower was so small and the shower
16:54
Speaker 2: head was fixed, so I had to duck every time
16:56
Speaker 2: I got on the shower to have a shower and
17:00
Speaker 2: duck my head, and the shower head was fixed. It
17:03
Speaker 2: would only get me from my nipples down. Had very
17:06
Speaker 2: clean nipples, very filthy here. Anyway, The point of the
17:10
Speaker 2: story is I lived like that for two years. I
17:12
Speaker 2: fixed it up. On you go, Things are okay, but
17:15
Speaker 2: you have to compromise. Property is not a perfectionist game,
17:20
Speaker 2: is it. It's about compromise and it's about trade offs.
17:24
Speaker 2: Like any good negotiation, surely everything must be on the table.

Speaker 2: Good morning, it is twenty four away from six. You're
17:56
Speaker 2: on news Talk, said b Vincent Macavini. Are UK europe
17:58
Speaker 2: correspondents with us on the Dale announcing his retirement finally
18:03
Speaker 2: at thirty eight years old. We'll talk about that has
18:06
Speaker 2: reasons for it also our reporters around the country. In
18:09
Speaker 2: just a few seconds, this text from Jane Ryan. Solar
18:13
Speaker 2: storm hitting Earth right now. According to the National Oceanic
18:17
Speaker 2: and Atmospheric Administration estimates its severe possible issues for electrical
18:22
Speaker 2: grid as New Zealand is turning into the storm because
18:25
Speaker 2: we're going into daylight. Any information from trans Power, says Jane.
18:29
Speaker 2: Leo says no, but you get the cool skies, so
18:33
Speaker 2: there you go. Enjoy it, don't worry about it. Ryan,
18:36
Speaker 2: Given that Tory Farno voted to sell the airport shares,
18:40
Speaker 2: then obviously keeping them was the right decision. The council
18:44
Speaker 2: would have just blown any money received from the sale
18:47
Speaker 2: of the shares. Anyway, Mike, thanks for your feedback this morning.
18:50
Speaker 2: We're on earth as Tom Phillips. How has no one
18:54
Speaker 2: found Tom Phillips. I don't understand. It blows my mind. Yes,
19:00
Speaker 2: if you have bush, a big bush, and that is
19:04
Speaker 2: that thick, then yes it's going to be difficult. But
19:07
Speaker 2: surely after how many years? And do they not have
19:10
Speaker 2: thermal imaging from the helicopters? I don't know. Can you
19:13
Speaker 2: explain that to me? Nine two nine two is the
19:15
Speaker 2: number this morning? Great to have your company on a Friday.
19:20
Speaker 2: Calm proctors into needing calum a call to action from
19:23
Speaker 2: fed farmers. This a big stout, in fact, a land
19:26
Speaker 2: war with fish and game.
19:29
Speaker 10: That's right, the calling for farmers to boycott fish and game.
19:33
Speaker 10: It wants members to block anglers from their land by
19:37
Speaker 10: removing access signs, so you know that's you and me
19:40
Speaker 10: wanting to go for a fish and a river, replacing
19:43
Speaker 10: those signs with orange ribbons and saying keep out. It
19:45
Speaker 10: follows a court decision requiring many of Southends farmers to
19:49
Speaker 10: gain a resource consent just to lawfully operate. Federated Farmers
19:53
Speaker 10: South and says are fed up with fishing games, anti
19:56
Speaker 10: farming rhetoric. They say farmers have been allowing public access
19:59
Speaker 10: to their for many years without any goodwill in return
20:02
Speaker 10: fish and gaming, whilst say they're disappointed that the organizations
20:05
Speaker 10: using the issue to limit access for kiwis wanting to fish.
20:09
Speaker 2: Fair enough, it's their land, isn't it. How's the weather today?
20:12
Speaker 10: Callum find at partly cloudy, the odds shower later today
20:15
Speaker 10: for Daneeda and a high of eighteen.
20:17
Speaker 2: Thank you Andenjroy Claire Sherwoods and christ Church clear. A
20:20
Speaker 2: booming summer is on the cards for christ Church Airport.
20:24
Speaker 11: Yes, something a bit positive for a Friday.
20:26
Speaker 8: Ryan.
20:26
Speaker 11: This is from christ Church Airport, which is gearing up
20:29
Speaker 11: for a twenty five percent increase in seat capacity on
20:33
Speaker 11: the long haul international routes this summer. That's compared to
20:36
Speaker 11: last year, so a twenty five percent increase on last year.
20:39
Speaker 11: There are flights for Quantus and Jets. They're both adding
20:43
Speaker 11: more than one hundred and seventy five thousand seats to
20:45
Speaker 11: some Australian and domestic routes out of christ Church. Christ
20:49
Speaker 11: Church Airport's Chief executive, Justin Watson says this reflects a
20:52
Speaker 11: strong demand for christ Church is a key gateway to
20:55
Speaker 11: the South Island. He says the Garden City itself is
20:58
Speaker 11: increasingly becoming a destined on more and more people's lists.
21:02
Speaker 11: And fair enough.
21:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well you're a big APEI Cadeti're clear. How's
21:06
Speaker 2: your with her today?
21:08
Speaker 9: Fine?
21:08
Speaker 11: Aside from some petching high cloud nor the least easy
21:11
Speaker 11: this morning at a maximum of nineteen Thank you.
21:13
Speaker 2: Clear, We're going to mix Hole and Wellington. Max. You
21:16
Speaker 2: were absolutely positively unsure about what the hell's going on
21:20
Speaker 2: with the you. That's right.
21:22
Speaker 12: Watching it all play out in real time in our newsroom,
21:24
Speaker 12: it's still quite baffling how it all happened. It was
21:27
Speaker 12: agreed to sell shares in Wellington Airport, move them to
21:30
Speaker 12: this fund, this money to the fund to better prepare
21:33
Speaker 12: the city in the event of a disaster, to boost insurance,
21:36
Speaker 12: diversify funds. Then counselors started changing their minds. Some said
21:40
Speaker 12: they weren't given the whole picture by officials the city.
21:43
Speaker 12: The Chief executive meanwhile, stepped down. Labour got heavily involved,
21:47
Speaker 12: pushing not to sell. Top national figures urged the sale
21:50
Speaker 12: to go ahead. Clearly there was some strong lobbying going
21:53
Speaker 12: on under the water's surface, and not to strain a metaphor,
21:56
Speaker 12: but that water has been getting choppier and choppier. Yesterday
21:59
Speaker 12: a vote to stop the sale, throwing the long term
22:02
Speaker 12: plan into jeopardy. The potential for the Crown to get
22:04
Speaker 12: involved rises again. Dirty politics, chaos, disunity, failure, the most
22:09
Speaker 12: painful and unpleasant chapter in decades, all terms thrown around
22:13
Speaker 12: at council yesterday. Tadanaki Fannui pointing out an absence of
22:17
Speaker 12: leadership in the city, but ultimately another major body blow
22:21
Speaker 12: for a mayor whose only real success in her tenure
22:24
Speaker 12: in terms of what was promised, will be its most
22:27
Speaker 12: divisive to spend on cycling and cycle ways you.
22:31
Speaker 2: Could have written a book for us just then, Max,
22:34
Speaker 2: thank you hawsh your weather.
22:35
Speaker 12: Today, pay me to and I will fine after a
22:38
Speaker 12: cheley start fourteen, Thank you very much.
22:40
Speaker 2: Neva is a thinking So this is like a trilogy,
22:44
Speaker 2: you know, Lord of the Rings. It lasted about as long,
22:47
Speaker 2: Max over duo. Neither the Fortnightly Rubbish Collection, which I
22:53
Speaker 2: thought was just begging for the plague to return and
22:57
Speaker 2: for rodents to explode. And they're actually going to do
23:01
Speaker 2: a mere culper and say no, that's right.
23:03
Speaker 13: Well look this is interesting, isn't it. It's that good
23:06
Speaker 13: old chestnut of you know, weekly fortnightly. What are we doing?
23:10
Speaker 13: So now the Council yesterday voted for a trial, a
23:16
Speaker 13: trial for fortnightly Rubbish Collection, and so this trial is
23:20
Speaker 13: going to happen in three areas of between three and
23:24
Speaker 13: four thousand households. So this is before the Council considers
23:28
Speaker 13: whether it should be rolled out, you know, to the
23:30
Speaker 13: entire region. So it's not known where or when the
23:34
Speaker 13: trial will take place. But yeah, you know, so it's
23:38
Speaker 13: it's quite it's a big talking point here. We've got
23:41
Speaker 13: Daniel Newman, who's you know, a critic of the idea,
23:44
Speaker 13: and he was one of the four councilors yesterday voted
23:47
Speaker 13: against it. Yeah, but I was just saying to to
23:51
Speaker 13: you know, like produce a Leo. I said, what do
23:52
Speaker 13: you do you know with your if you have a
23:55
Speaker 13: lot and you know, like many members of your family
23:57
Speaker 13: and that, I mean, you can get those bigger bins.
23:59
Speaker 2: You can, you pay more, you pay more, and then.
24:01
Speaker 13: You know that you get some of those people waiting
24:03
Speaker 13: under the cover of darkness, you know, to put their
24:05
Speaker 13: little rubbish and add the rubbish. Yeah, everybody know to
24:09
Speaker 13: do that.
24:09
Speaker 2: Leo doesn't strike me as somebody who would create a
24:11
Speaker 2: huge amount of waste. No, you know what I mean.
24:14
Speaker 2: Just yeah, he said, it's everybody else at his home.
24:17
Speaker 2: It's not him. He just I don't imagine him sort
24:20
Speaker 2: of eating a lot and like, you know, having lots
24:22
Speaker 2: of rubbish. And I don't know.
24:24
Speaker 13: Oh, actually, funny as you say that, because I looked
24:26
Speaker 13: at him and I was thinking the same I thought,
24:27
Speaker 13: look at him, he probably only just has you know,
24:29
Speaker 13: like one piece of bread head.
24:31
Speaker 2: Probably have like a plastic shopping bag a week.
24:33
Speaker 6: Compared to me, What.
24:35
Speaker 13: About you, Yeah, I'd say you've got a bit.
24:37
Speaker 2: Of a lot of lot of rubbish. I do hey.
24:39
Speaker 2: Weather today partly.
24:41
Speaker 13: Cloudy condition, showers becoming widespread this afternoon. Auckland's high seventeen brilliant.
24:45
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. We're live to our correspondent in
24:47
Speaker 2: the UK. Next also Labour's finance spokesperson on the government's books.
24:51
Speaker 2: Just before Sex News Talks.
24:53
Speaker 3: B get ahead of the headlines, Ryan Bridge you for
24:59
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four on early edition with Smith City, New
25:02
Speaker 3: Zealand's furniture beds and a Planet store News Talk zi'd.
25:06
Speaker 2: Be news of interest. Donald Trump is pledging to end
25:09
Speaker 2: double taxation of Americans. You know, they had that weird
25:11
Speaker 2: rule where if you're an American citizen living in another
25:14
Speaker 2: country and you earn money there, you can be taxed
25:17
Speaker 2: by both jurisdictions. It's unusual. Most countries don't have that,
25:21
Speaker 2: or they have a double tax agreement. The US policy
25:23
Speaker 2: dates back to the eighteen sixties when they wanted to
25:27
Speaker 2: finance the Civil War. So Trump is saying, and here's
25:30
Speaker 2: why he's saying it, I will get rid of double taxation.
25:35
Speaker 2: And he's doing that to the four point four million U.
25:37
Speaker 2: S citizens who live abroad. Two point eight million of
25:41
Speaker 2: them are eighteen plus and you know what that means.
25:43
Speaker 3: They can vote international correspondence with ends and eye insurance,
25:48
Speaker 3: peace of mind for New Zealand business.
25:50
Speaker 2: Princess Cage just being spotted in public. Vincent mcavanie is
25:53
Speaker 2: our UK europe correspondent. Vincent. What's happening here? What's she doing.
25:58
Speaker 9: Well?
25:58
Speaker 14: Last month, of course we've got the news that the
26:01
Speaker 14: Princess of Wales had completed her chemotherapy treatment in that
26:06
Speaker 14: video she released with her family, and she's now made
26:09
Speaker 14: her first a public engagement since that news. She accompanied
26:15
Speaker 14: William unexpectedly to an event in Southport in the north
26:20
Speaker 14: west of England today to hold a private meeting with
26:23
Speaker 14: the families of the Bereave children killed in that knife
26:28
Speaker 14: attack at the Taylor Swift dance class back in July.
26:32
Speaker 14: This was, to say, her first public engagement. It was
26:34
Speaker 14: a private meeting, but she said that she wanted to
26:38
Speaker 14: show her support, empathy and compassion with the local community.
26:42
Speaker 14: That's the statement through Royal sources that's come out. The
26:45
Speaker 14: couple spoke to some emergency responders as well, who helped
26:48
Speaker 14: out at the scene on that horrible day where that
26:52
Speaker 14: knife man entered into that and they've also been speaking
26:55
Speaker 14: to the families, we believe some of the survivors as
26:57
Speaker 14: well of the other children that were at that class.
27:00
Speaker 2: All right. Also, we're hearing that Rafa Nadal has announced
27:04
Speaker 2: his retirement from professional tennis.
27:08
Speaker 14: Yeah, two bits of tennis news. Rafa Nadal one of
27:10
Speaker 14: the biggest players of the last two decades in the
27:12
Speaker 14: men's game. He is retiring with that twenty two Grand
27:18
Speaker 14: Slam victory record, meaning he is currently going to be
27:22
Speaker 14: the second most decorated player in the men's game, just
27:25
Speaker 14: behind long time rival in Novak Djokovic, who is continuing
27:28
Speaker 14: to play. But he's had a stellar career known as
27:31
Speaker 14: course as the King of Clay. He won the French
27:33
Speaker 14: Open singles title a record fourteen times, winning one hundred
27:37
Speaker 14: and twelve of his one hundred and sixteen major matches
27:40
Speaker 14: at Roland Garross and some other tennis news. Wimbledon is
27:43
Speaker 14: going to finally get rid of its line judges. It's
27:46
Speaker 14: going to have electronic line calling from next year's tournament.
27:51
Speaker 14: That's to bring it in line with the sort of
27:52
Speaker 14: new international standard that's in place with the Australian Open
27:56
Speaker 14: and the US Open.
27:57
Speaker 2: So a big change there.
27:58
Speaker 14: You won't have John McEnroe getting into big fights with
28:00
Speaker 14: lone judges anymore in South London.
28:04
Speaker 2: Well that was half the fun, wasn't it. Thanks so
28:06
Speaker 2: much for that. That's since at Macavviny, a UK europe
28:08
Speaker 2: correspondent just gone eleven minutes away.
28:10
Speaker 3: From six Bryan Bridge.
28:12
Speaker 2: Government's books have sunk further into the red in the
28:14
Speaker 2: year to June, partly thanks to high personnel costs at
28:17
Speaker 2: Health New Zealand and soaring acc claims. Treasury revealed the
28:20
Speaker 2: deficit on the Crown books deepened by three point four billion.
28:23
Speaker 2: It was also one point eight billion worse than Treasury
28:26
Speaker 2: forecast that was only back in May, the total twelve
28:29
Speaker 2: point nine billion. Barbara Edmonds as Labour's finance spokesperson, she's
28:33
Speaker 2: with me this morning. Good morning, Good morning, Ryan. Good
28:37
Speaker 2: to have you on the show. Is this a bad result?
28:41
Speaker 15: Yeah, it's a really grim read of the government accounts
28:44
Speaker 15: at anyone has the actual look at them. This is
28:47
Speaker 15: the largest annual deficit since the pandemic in twenty twenty
28:51
Speaker 15: and if you go back to the GFC, what's a
28:54
Speaker 15: nominal term as the economy, So it's not a great read.
28:58
Speaker 15: The fact that they've had to be revived. I think
29:00
Speaker 15: a bit really shows that the economic management is very dubious.
29:05
Speaker 2: Okay, are you talking about Grant Robertson's So.
29:10
Speaker 15: No, this is nicol Willison. So this is the largest
29:12
Speaker 15: and your beffit since COVID.
29:15
Speaker 2: And then if you look at the GUS, but the
29:18
Speaker 2: numbers tell us Grant Robertson added five point six billion
29:21
Speaker 2: from budget twenty three, Nikola Willis chok off one point
29:25
Speaker 2: one billion since her mini budget.
29:27
Speaker 15: Also what you see is that the majority of this
29:31
Speaker 15: is during the government's time. And if you've read on
29:34
Speaker 15: page ten of the Fiscal Accounts, as you noted before,
29:38
Speaker 15: part of the spending of it is because of the
29:41
Speaker 15: higher cost of borrowing during obviously high inflation.
29:43
Speaker 2: And who did a borro.
29:44
Speaker 15: Majority of its teaches, the nursery.
29:46
Speaker 2: Space, who did the borrowing, who did the borough.
29:50
Speaker 15: Borough twelve point twelve billion for income sex cups whiles?
29:56
Speaker 2: But which minister did the borring before that in budget
29:59
Speaker 2: twenty three? See what I saying. So the numbers tell
30:01
Speaker 2: us that Grant added five point six billion from budget
30:04
Speaker 2: twenty three, Nicola Willis took off one point one billion
30:08
Speaker 2: since their mini budget. Do you disagree with that.
30:11
Speaker 15: But what I don't agree with is that borrowing for
30:15
Speaker 15: tax cuts has made this worse.
30:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't need to be.
30:18
Speaker 15: As bad as it did. That those were the choices
30:21
Speaker 15: that this government has made, okay, and the borrowing that
30:24
Speaker 15: right Robinson had done again and your gift aff not
30:28
Speaker 15: this is higher than it was in twenty twenty at
30:30
Speaker 15: the height of COVID.
30:31
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about because you said this is
30:33
Speaker 2: a bad result, right, it's too high? Should we be
30:37
Speaker 2: making more cuts to the public service?
30:40
Speaker 9: No?
30:41
Speaker 2: Okay?
30:41
Speaker 15: Should it even being is that?
30:43
Speaker 2: Should we be increased Should we be increasing additional funding
30:47
Speaker 2: for cost pressures for our frontline services and our government departments.
30:54
Speaker 15: Will you ask the people who are struggling to see
30:56
Speaker 15: their gp because their GP costs have gone up, they
30:59
Speaker 15: would that they would prefer that their text cuts have
31:02
Speaker 15: gone to help with that capitation funding That would say
31:06
Speaker 15: for their GPCs to the inflation has been pushed out
31:09
Speaker 15: to everybody that use a pay system. But that's what
31:12
Speaker 15: I mean by public service cut? How do you have
31:15
Speaker 15: gone too hard to fast?
31:16
Speaker 2: Too hard to fast? It's only been apparently three point
31:19
Speaker 2: three percent cut in the last six months two thousand jobs.
31:22
Speaker 2: It's still sixty four thousand working there. But how can
31:25
Speaker 2: you have how can you keep the public servants, increase
31:28
Speaker 2: the budgets in line with inflation, but also at the
31:32
Speaker 2: same time, so the deficit's too big.
31:35
Speaker 15: So Ryan, and that's the point. It's not just public
31:38
Speaker 15: servants as in account of the people. It is the
31:41
Speaker 15: cut through the funding that flows to the very the
31:45
Speaker 15: different agencies that gets distributed to people to help them
31:48
Speaker 15: during a cost of living crisis. Yeah, but how do
31:50
Speaker 15: you fund I mean by public services.
31:52
Speaker 2: You can't have your cake and eat it too. You
31:54
Speaker 2: can't say, well, keep all the public servants, we'll increase
31:56
Speaker 2: all the budgets, but we'll also reduce the deficit, can you.
32:01
Speaker 15: Well, that's because you don't need to borrow. Well, Labour
32:04
Speaker 15: could say that because you don't need to borrow for
32:05
Speaker 15: text cuts, the landlords become text cuts or for text
32:09
Speaker 15: cuts with the better companies be the choices.
32:12
Speaker 2: All right, Barbara, we have to leave it there. Thank
32:14
Speaker 2: you very much for your time. Labor's finance spokesperson, Barbara Edmunds.
32:17
Speaker 2: Seven Away from six, The News you Need.
32:20
Speaker 3: This Morning and the in Depth Analysis early edition with
32:23
Speaker 3: Ryan Bridge and Fifth City New Zealand's furniture beds and
32:27
Speaker 3: a playing store.
32:28
Speaker 2: News talks, it'd be five minutes away from six. We've
32:30
Speaker 2: just had Barbara Edmunds on Labour's finance spokesperson, Mike's here.
32:34
Speaker 2: She was saying, basically, people would prefer that they had
32:37
Speaker 2: cheaper hospital visits, et cetera, rather than the tax cut
32:40
Speaker 2: that they got to Yes, crap.
32:41
Speaker 6: Yeah, most people think it's crap.
32:43
Speaker 2: Do you think she's a leader? You like her? I
32:46
Speaker 2: like the cut of her jib I do, and I
32:48
Speaker 2: like the answers she gives. Whenever someone says do you
32:50
Speaker 2: want to be leader? Do you want to be the
32:51
Speaker 2: prime minister? She said, bro, I've got eight kids. Yeah.
32:55
Speaker 6: I believe her in that because the only reason I
32:57
Speaker 6: ask is that they're going to get around eventually, probably
33:00
Speaker 6: sooner rather than later, getting rid of Hipkins because he's
33:03
Speaker 6: such a disaster and so.
33:04
Speaker 2: But the question is who she'd be wise not to yes.
33:07
Speaker 6: And so, so she's already ruled out when she says that,
33:09
Speaker 6: I believe her. Mcinaalty's the other one who's ruled out
33:13
Speaker 6: in a kind of you believe them kind of way.
33:15
Speaker 2: You don't believe you think it's a bit susty. It's
33:18
Speaker 2: a poison chalice, isn't. I mean, they're not going to
33:19
Speaker 2: win the next election, so you're just pout of you.
33:22
Speaker 2: Well that's the problem.
33:23
Speaker 6: See, this is where it gets difficult because I don't
33:24
Speaker 6: think they're going to win the next election the way
33:26
Speaker 6: things tracking at the moment. So at that point they'll
