0:43
Speaker 2: has appeared in court. Hearing lasted ten minutes. His special
0:47
Speaker 2: affect was so flat, his demeanor was relaxed.
0:52
Speaker 4: I honestly thought it look like somebody that just left

Speaker 4: the church picnic and was on his way home.
0:58
Speaker 2: At this stage. Ryan Wes Routh has only been charged
1:02
Speaker 2: with possession of a firearm by convicted felon and position
1:05
Speaker 2: of a firearm with an obstructed serial number, which he's
1:07
Speaker 2: accused of scratching off. Both are federal charges. You can
1:11
Speaker 2: definitely expect there'll be more of those too. Zero, nada, zilch.
1:15
Speaker 2: That's how much our economy is tipped to grow by
1:18
Speaker 2: in the year to March twenty twenty five. This is
1:20
Speaker 2: NZII quarterly consensus forecasts. We'll pick up to two point
1:24
Speaker 2: two percent growth by March twenty twenty six. We have
1:28
Speaker 2: inflation data out this Thursday here in New Zealand. By
1:31
Speaker 2: the way, October ninth is our next OCR review and
1:34
Speaker 2: we'll look at those numbers and more details shortly. Borders
1:37
Speaker 2: are going up in Europe again, well sort of. Germany
1:40
Speaker 2: has added new checks to the borders and a crackdown
1:43
Speaker 2: on migration.
1:44
Speaker 3: We do not check every vehicle or every person.
1:47
Speaker 5: Rather, the checks are targeted at vehicles suspected of carrying
1:51
Speaker 5: illegal migrants.
1:53
Speaker 2: The PSA says the zero wage increase put forward by
1:56
Speaker 2: the Defense Force is insulting. This is for non uniformed members.
2:01
Speaker 2: They're unhappy following the Defense Force's refusal to lift pay
2:04
Speaker 2: for civilian workers during bargaining for a new collective agreement.
2:08
Speaker 2: Is there sympathy for Wellington based office staff given the
2:11
Speaker 2: state of housing that our soldiers living in around in Wayoudu,
2:16
Speaker 2: Zimbabwe is going to cull two hundred elephants. That's that
2:25
Speaker 2: I should say, that's not the sound of them being culled.
2:30
Speaker 2: Who was worried listening at home? So two hundred elephants, yes,
2:33
Speaker 2: that sounds like a lot, but they've got eighty five thousand.
2:36
Speaker 2: That's double their capacity of forty five thousand. The Environment
2:39
Speaker 2: Minister says they've got more than they need and their
2:42
Speaker 2: forests can't accommodate them all. They're being used to feed
2:46
Speaker 2: humans left hungry by the worst drought in decades.
2:50
Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth
2:52
Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Swift City, New
2:56
Speaker 1: Zealand's furniture Beds and a playing store news Talk.
3:00
Speaker 2: When Theamibia is doing it too. They're all coloring elephants. Actually,
3:02
Speaker 2: in Namimbia they're colling hippos as well. Elephants and hippos
3:05
Speaker 2: seven hundred last month. And it's quite simple really. They
3:08
Speaker 2: are fighting competing for resources with these animals, and the
3:12
Speaker 2: animals can provide protein and people are hungry, and when
3:15
Speaker 2: people are hungry, they need to be fed, so they're
3:17
Speaker 2: culling them and you can imagine the animal rights groups,
3:21
Speaker 2: the activists, et cetera, all upset, but they're all sitting there,
3:25
Speaker 2: probably popping down to the cafe for a sandwich at lunch,
3:27
Speaker 2: not really starving, you know, so it's all very well
3:31
Speaker 2: for them to say. Apparently, what they're going to try
3:33
Speaker 2: and do is mobilize women from the villages to dry
3:37
Speaker 2: and pack the meat and then get it to the
3:40
Speaker 2: villages which most need protein. So it's not like they're
3:43
Speaker 2: culling them and then you know, discarding them or anything.
3:46
Speaker 2: It is going to feed hungry miles ten.
3:48
Speaker 3: After five, Bryan Bridge tell.
3:51
Speaker 2: You he'll be doing a little victory lap, a little
3:53
Speaker 2: I Told you So dance this morning, and that is
3:55
Speaker 2: Nikola Willis, the Finance minister. Remember she said there was
3:59
Speaker 2: a big debate about whether the tax cuts that the
4:01
Speaker 2: government's offering would add to inflation because you get more
4:04
Speaker 2: money in your back pocket, you go and spend it,
4:06
Speaker 2: as the theory, and then you'd continue to drive prices up.
4:10
Speaker 2: So why would you give a tax cut at a
4:12
Speaker 2: time like this, said labor etc. Will treasuries release the
4:15
Speaker 2: beef and they have said actually either neutral in terms
4:20
Speaker 2: of its effect on inflation or in the scenario that
4:24
Speaker 2: they have paid. Because it depends how much of the
4:26
Speaker 2: tax cut you go and spend, you might save some, right,
4:28
Speaker 2: so it doesn't add to inflation. They said. The verdict
4:31
Speaker 2: was basically it was either neutral or more likely it
4:35
Speaker 2: would actually reduce inflation because of how much they're cutting
4:38
Speaker 2: through government services. So she will be happy with that.
4:42
Speaker 2: Our finance minister and Bridge brig she's got eleven minutes
4:48
Speaker 2: after five, you're on newstalk said be hey, some I
4:51
Speaker 2: know you may not like hearing about Boeing, but I'm
4:54
Speaker 2: just endlessly fascinated by them. So more turbulence from them. Overnight.
4:59
Speaker 2: There's shares of down four percent. They're hiring freezers now
5:02
Speaker 2: kicking in. They are cutting back on orders, more orders.
5:05
Speaker 2: They've got this huge backlog of planes that they need
5:09
Speaker 2: to get through, and they build half of the planes
5:12
Speaker 2: that we fly in. You know, they've got a q
5:14
Speaker 2: longer than an X ray machine at Heathrow Airport in
5:18
Speaker 2: terms of planes. Anyway, because of the strikes, which are
5:23
Speaker 2: costing them five hundred million dollars a week, it's half
5:27
Speaker 2: a billion dollars a week. Because of the strikes, their
5:29
Speaker 2: credit rating is now at risk, so more bad news
5:32
Speaker 2: for Boeing, good news for farmers on the way. Eleven
5:35
Speaker 2: after five.
5:47
Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines, Ryan Bridge, You for twenty
5:50
Speaker 1: twenty four on early edition with Smith City, New Zealand's
5:54
Speaker 1: furniture beds and a player store.
5:56
Speaker 3: News Talk said B.
5:57
Speaker 2: Fourteen after five on news Talk said B. The latest
5:59
Speaker 2: theory Zed's quarterly ECON tracker. The last one this is
6:04
Speaker 2: for June, predicted a payer including dividends of eight dollars
6:06
Speaker 2: thirty four per kilogram of milk solids, a break even
6:10
Speaker 2: point of eight dollars oh seven. This now has been
6:13
Speaker 2: revised up to eight dollars eighty four and eight dollars
6:16
Speaker 2: oh nine. We're going to talk to fed farmers about
6:18
Speaker 2: that in just a few minutes. Just gone fourteen after five,
6:21
Speaker 2: Ryan Bridge. A new report in to the health of
6:24
Speaker 2: the children in this country is a particularly grim read
6:27
Speaker 2: out this morning. Cure Kids fourth State of Child Health
6:29
Speaker 2: Report has found that PACIFICA children are one hundred and
6:32
Speaker 2: fifteen times more likely and MALDI children forty six times
6:37
Speaker 2: more likely to be hospitalized with acute dramatic fever compared
6:41
Speaker 2: to their European counterparts. Hospitalization rates for respiratory conditions and
6:45
Speaker 2: children under one year have increased by forty four percent
6:49
Speaker 2: over the past two decades. Stuart Darzil is the Cure
6:52
Speaker 2: Kids Chair of Child Health Research and a University of
6:55
Speaker 2: Aukland professor. He's with us this morning. Good morning, Good morning, right,
6:59
Speaker 2: thanks for being with me. Can I first ask about
7:01
Speaker 2: this report? Why have you decided to group the children
7:06
Speaker 2: by race?
7:08
Speaker 6: I think it's important when we look at our statistics
7:13
Speaker 6: across the health system that we look at groups where
7:18
Speaker 6: we have not delivered good quality healthcare in the past too,
7:24
Speaker 6: and so that is grouping children by race and ethnicity
7:30
Speaker 6: is quite useful for that, but also grouping children according
7:34
Speaker 6: to their socioeconomic status as well. And that same disparity
7:40
Speaker 6: that you just talked about in terms of race, you
7:42
Speaker 6: see that same disparity across the report for a number
7:47
Speaker 6: of conditions for socioeconomic status as well.
7:50
Speaker 2: So what is driving these stats? Is it poverty or
7:55
Speaker 2: is it race?
7:58
Speaker 6: I think it is a common it's a combination of things.
8:02
Speaker 6: And if we look at what are the foundations that
8:05
Speaker 6: good health is built on. That's about adequate housing, that's
8:10
Speaker 6: about adequate nutrition, that's about freedom from poverty, and we
8:15
Speaker 6: haven't got those things sorted for all of our children,
8:19
Speaker 6: and as a country, we need to be concentrating on
8:23
Speaker 6: those big ticket items as well as the kind of
8:27
Speaker 6: individual diseases we talked about in the report. In terms
8:30
Speaker 6: of implementing specific health change as well, the.
8:34
Speaker 2: Government has issued a director saying that we need to
8:36
Speaker 2: focus on need rather than race. What particular needs does
8:42
Speaker 2: this report say that we should focus on?
8:45
Speaker 6: So I think the report is quite clear in terms
8:49
Speaker 6: of where the need be, where the need lies. So
8:53
Speaker 6: the report looked at five key health conditions respiratory disease,
8:59
Speaker 6: can infection, rheumatic heart disease, dental disease, and mental health.
9:04
Speaker 6: And you alluded to the change that we've seen over
9:07
Speaker 6: the last two decades. You know, in our infants, the
9:11
Speaker 6: rates of respiratory disease have increased by forty four percent
9:16
Speaker 6: over the last two decades. If we look at dental
9:19
Speaker 6: health and mental health disorders, the rates of these have
9:23
Speaker 6: increased by twice what they were two decades ago. We've
9:28
Speaker 6: reduced some things like skin infection and rheumatic heart disease,
9:33
Speaker 6: but for skin infections our rates are still twice what
9:37
Speaker 6: they should actually be. And for grammatic heart disease. We're
9:41
Speaker 6: seeing one sixtieth what we should be seeing is one
9:44
Speaker 6: sixtieth of what we are actually seeing. So the priority
9:48
Speaker 6: is these areas of need and that's what we should
9:51
Speaker 6: be focusing on. And there are individual communities within that
9:54
Speaker 6: that we should be focusing on. But ideally, if we
9:57
Speaker 6: just focus on these five conditions and we get it right,
10:01
Speaker 6: we're going to get help right for all of New
10:03
Speaker 6: Zeasand's children.
10:04
Speaker 2: Would you agree then with the government that it is
10:07
Speaker 2: more helpful to focus on housing, to focus on family income,
10:16
Speaker 2: focus on poverty, rather than divvying everything up by race.
10:22
Speaker 6: Look, I think, honestly, you've got to look at both strategies.
10:26
Speaker 6: I think you've got to look at a lens to
10:28
Speaker 6: say which children are we failing And if we see
10:33
Speaker 6: that we are failing on the basis of race, we
10:37
Speaker 6: then need to have strategies and we need to question
10:40
Speaker 6: ourselves why are we failing on race? Now, the answers
10:46
Speaker 6: to that may not be specifically race targeted policies, but
10:52
Speaker 6: what we need is we need policy. We need to
10:56
Speaker 6: be very clear about where we are failing, and then
10:58
Speaker 6: we can look at ways to im.
11:00
Speaker 2: All right, Stuart thank you very much for your time
11:02
Speaker 2: this morning. Stuart Darzil Cure Kid's Tear of Child Health
11:04
Speaker 2: Research and University of Auckland professor this near port out
11:07
Speaker 2: this morning. It does make four particularly grim reading on
11:10
Speaker 2: the state of our children's health. Nineteen minutes after five
11:13
Speaker 2: news talks he'd been.
11:15
Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition with
11:19
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and
11:23
Speaker 1: a Flying Store.
11:24
Speaker 3: News talk said be.
11:25
Speaker 2: Twenty one minutes after five, the guy accused Well, actually,
11:28
Speaker 2: at this stage he's only facing gun charges because he
11:32
Speaker 2: is a convicted felon already hasn't faced any charges of
11:35
Speaker 2: attempt assassination yet anything like that. However, they've just been
11:38
Speaker 2: told in court in West Palm Beach, Florida that he
11:41
Speaker 2: was hiding in the bushes at Trump's golf course for
11:43
Speaker 2: twelve hours because yesterday, remember we learned that it was
11:47
Speaker 2: an unscheduled stop for the former president. So this guy
11:51
Speaker 2: was in the bush allegedly for twelve hours before take it,
11:55
Speaker 2: well before the Secret Service took shots at him. Twenty
11:58
Speaker 2: two after five. Darien Z's quarterly ECON tracker is out.
12:03
Speaker 2: The last one predicted a payout including dividends eight dollars
12:06
Speaker 2: thirty four, a break even point of eight dollars zero
12:08
Speaker 2: seven per kg of milk solids. Now the payout is
12:11
Speaker 2: up eight dollars eighty four predicted break even eight dollars
12:14
Speaker 2: oh nine. Joining us Mark story darien Z, Head of Economics, Mark,
12:18
Speaker 2: good morning, Good morning, Roy, Thank you for being with me.
12:21
Speaker 2: What's pushing this? What's driving this?
12:25
Speaker 7: Yeah, two things are driving that revised those revised forecasts.
12:29
Speaker 7: The first is the improvements in the forecast milk power
12:34
Speaker 7: price and proticted from FRONTIRA and announcements in August, so
12:38
Speaker 7: the revenue side's going up. And the second is the
12:42
Speaker 7: reserve banks forecast of interest rate costs adjustments and banks
12:46
Speaker 7: beginning to respond to that. So those two, those two
12:49
Speaker 7: factors are in combination are driving and improved outlook for
12:53
Speaker 7: our dairy farmers this season.
12:54
Speaker 2: How much is that worth to your average farmer? The
12:58
Speaker 2: reduction and interest rates.
13:01
Speaker 7: Well, if we're looking at it, it obviously it depends
13:04
Speaker 7: a lot for farm to farm. But if we're looking
13:08
Speaker 7: at you know, I guess it's coming into well, we're
13:14
Speaker 7: looking at rates of you know, an extra half percent
13:20
Speaker 7: more than a half percent in the remainder of this season.
13:22
Speaker 7: We've done some analysis which has looked at what the
13:24
Speaker 7: difference would be between you know, fast rates coming in
13:27
Speaker 7: the December this year, if we were dropping down to
13:29
Speaker 7: seven and a half percent from from eight point five
13:35
Speaker 7: at present, and we're looking in the low tens of thousands.
13:39
Speaker 7: But the more that flows into the season after that, yeah,
13:44
Speaker 7: obviously or makes a healthy difference.
13:46
Speaker 2: So that it's quite significant then, isn't it that? How
13:50
Speaker 2: are you feeling? How farmersphiling? It must be it must
13:52
Speaker 2: be a positive step. I guess a positive outlook.
13:57
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's definitely always cautious positive. It's early in the
14:01
Speaker 7: season yet, so everyone's relying on forecasts of revenue and
14:05
Speaker 7: forecasts of expenses at the same time. But it's it's
14:10
Speaker 7: looking positive compared to previous seasons. Anything, any payout pies
14:14
Speaker 7: with an eight in front of it tends to be good.
14:16
Speaker 7: And if it starts getting up towards the nine, then
14:18
Speaker 7: farmers are generally sitting in a fairly positive situation. Expenses
14:23
Speaker 7: are still high and they are staying quite stubbornly high,
14:26
Speaker 7: so things like wages, fertilizer, feed, et cetera. Having come
14:33
Speaker 7: down and perhaps as much as we would rights. In fact,
14:35
Speaker 7: in this forecast where predicting that they've gone up. That's reflecting,
14:39
Speaker 7: you know, there's inflation staying in the system and those
14:41
Speaker 7: prices are quite sticky. But overall farmers are getting in
14:46
Speaker 7: a better position and hopefully can start paying down some
14:49
Speaker 7: of their debt this season.
14:51
Speaker 2: Good good. I am pleased to hear it. And when
14:53
Speaker 2: I'm looking at an n ZE forecast saying for a
14:56
Speaker 2: zero percent growth as its country through to March next year,
15:00
Speaker 2: I'm pleased to hear a little a spot of good news. Mark,
15:03
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. Mark story, Darien's ed head of
15:05
Speaker 2: economics with us this morning, someone says, Mark says, its
15:09
Speaker 2: snowing in christ Church. Thanks Mark, give us your year
15:13
Speaker 2: of snow reports. This morning, nine nine two on the
15:16
Speaker 2: text twenty five after five.
15:17
Speaker 1: The early edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by
15:22
Speaker 1: News Talks at Me.
15:23
Speaker 2: Chris Luxen has something to smile about this morning. Two
15:26
Speaker 2: sets of data to cheer about, you could say. The
15:28
Speaker 2: first is the pole. He seems to be, at least
15:32
Speaker 2: from what I've seen, shaking off that slightly cringe ceo
15:35
Speaker 2: Monica that people had been labeling him as cementing himself
15:39
Speaker 2: as a man with a plan in charge across most
15:42
Speaker 2: of the issues and not allowing himself to become distracted
15:44
Speaker 2: by the inevitable noise that comes with running the ninth floor.
15:48
Speaker 2: So this latest Taxpayer's Union Carrier poll, the NATS are
15:51
Speaker 2: up one point four to thirty nine percent. That's an
15:54
Speaker 2: extra seat for them, no change for act in New
15:56
Speaker 2: Zealand first grabbing an extra seat that is safe across
15:59
Speaker 2: the line. The preferred PM numbers are interesting. Chippy's gone
16:03
Speaker 2: off a cliff. The trend is down and that's this
16:06
Speaker 2: result in particular as a shocker. He's down six point
16:09
Speaker 2: one points to twelve point six percent. Luxen thirty two
16:14
Speaker 2: point seven percent, so Chippy is now almost within margin
16:18
Speaker 2: of era, with not luxin but Chloe on seven point
16:22
Speaker 2: two percent. The other number is the NZII quarterly consensus
16:26
Speaker 2: start we've been talking about not so great for us,
16:29
Speaker 2: at least in the short term, a big fat zero
16:31
Speaker 2: GDP growth in the year to March, which is depressing
16:34
Speaker 2: because we've had almost two years of recession or close
16:37
Speaker 2: to it now and people just want to see the
16:39
Speaker 2: country firing again. We want to see it spark and
16:43
Speaker 2: that's where luxin will be happy to see this projection
16:46
Speaker 2: two point two percent, that is growth expected in the
16:49
Speaker 2: year to March twenty twenty six. And we know what
16:52
Speaker 2: else is happening in twenty twenty six right an election,
16:56
Speaker 2: it's humble two point two percent. It's not run away,
16:58
Speaker 2: but after these past few years, it's like electoral fairy dust.
17:02
Speaker 2: People don't generally vote on race relations, the politics of envy,
17:07
Speaker 2: climate change. They vote basically on how rich they feel
17:12
Speaker 2: and who might make them richer and lux and at
17:15
Speaker 2: least on these numbers would appear to have the upper
17:19
Speaker 2: hand on that front. Ryan Bridge twenty nine five. We've
17:23
Speaker 2: got Duncan Webb from Labor on the show just before
17:25
Speaker 2: six because despite what I've just said, they're not quite
17:29
Speaker 2: meeting their targets when it comes to law and order.
17:33
Speaker 3: News and views you trust.
17:34

17:55
Speaker 2: We're getting reports of snow in christ Church this morning.
17:58
Speaker 2: Our nine two is the number text. Let us know
18:00
Speaker 2: how it is at your place. I'm getting a little
18:02
Speaker 2: sick of these weather warnings for Auckland. Yesterday they said
18:06
Speaker 2: weather bomb coming, possible tornadoes. Today they're saying possible power outages. Honestly,
18:12
Speaker 2: it rained for five minutes yesterday. So underwhelming, so anti climatic.
18:17
Speaker 2: I know you shouldn't wish for bad weather, but sometimes
18:20
Speaker 2: when you're inside and you don't have to be out there,
18:22
Speaker 2: it's kind of nice to think about. Anyway, it was.
18:24
Speaker 2: It was a lame storm, That's what it was. Nine
18:27
Speaker 2: two the number to text. We're going to get to
18:29
Speaker 2: our reporters around the country in just a second. Donna
18:30

19:26
Speaker 8: But in response, Malligan's Valley Protection Society has been established
19:32
Speaker 8: and it's growing concerns around this proposal. The society is
19:35
Speaker 8: pushing back, saying it's worried that this project could get
19:38
Speaker 8: approved for fast track development. They say it could be
19:42
Speaker 8: given the green light with nobody having a say on it.
19:45
Speaker 2: All right, thanks so much for that, Callum Claire shereward

20:38
Speaker 2: All right, nice one, Thanks Claire. We're going to Wellington
20:40
Speaker 2: Max is with us. Max you have failed to give
20:43
Speaker 2: us your topic ahead of time, so I don't know.
20:46
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is you were speaking about.
20:48
Speaker 5: Well, have you been to a storier lately? The Cafe
20:52
Speaker 5: bar on Midland Park, Lampton.
20:54
Speaker 3: Key.
20:54
Speaker 2: No, Actually I went there with my mum maybe two
20:57
Speaker 2: years ago.
20:57
Speaker 3: What's going on?
20:58
Speaker 2: What was a story with a story?
21:00
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was right around the time they had a
21:02
Speaker 5: massive refurbishment, very swanky now new kitchen busy. Quite often

Speaker 5: the owners you group looking for they're going to open
21:12
Speaker 5: a second storya near Parliament, aiming for early next year
21:16
Speaker 5: in the new Bowen campus. They believe there's a market
21:19
Speaker 5: close to Parliament. Hucks Lease has done well around their
21:22
Speaker 5: other spots of closing. Worth pointing out though another of
21:26
Speaker 5: you Group's businesses, the Hudson, is closing at least temporarily
21:31
Speaker 5: with business down close to the old Central Library off
21:34
Speaker 5: Victoria Street. But a second a story coming early twenty
21:38
Speaker 5: twenty five.
21:38
Speaker 2: Interesting that there is some expansion. At least there is
21:41
Speaker 2: one bit of good news. Max. How's your winner?
21:44
Speaker 5: Yeah, not great either, periods of rain, strong, southerly's cold
21:49
Speaker 5: nine the high in the city.
21:50
Speaker 2: Thank you Max. We're going to Neva an Auckland. Good morning,
21:53
Speaker 2: good morning. We just had a text in from one
21:56
Speaker 2: of our lovely listeners. It's snowing at sea level in Waikuku.
21:59
Speaker 2: Be each North Canterbury.
22:01
Speaker 4: Stop it.
22:01
Speaker 2: Yeah.
22:02
Speaker 4: Well they were saying, now we're just talking about that
22:04
Speaker 4: in the newsroom, saying that some of the temperatures to
22:07
Speaker 4: do minus three. Christch was a minus four. It's like wow,
22:12
Speaker 4: So we shouldn't complain really here in Auckland. But I've missed.
22:15
Speaker 4: I heard you talking about, you know, like the heavy.
22:18
Speaker 2: Rain of the storm look out betting down the hatches.
22:20
Speaker 3: I missed that.
22:21
Speaker 2: I fell asleep. I would have lasted about two seconds.
22:25
Speaker 4: I was just thinking everyone else out there though they said,
22:27
Speaker 4: oh man, how did you go? Those saying oh, really
22:30
Speaker 4: bigger than Ben.
22:31
Speaker 2: Hurt, that'd be Jenny at composting.
22:35
Speaker 4: Actually I thought a booklar could go into my place
22:38
Speaker 4: and I'd be sound asleep to take everything and I'd
22:41
Speaker 4: be still. I'd still miss everything.
22:43
Speaker 2: Hey, what's this? What's happening with a pool closing?
22:45
Speaker 3: Yeah?
22:45
Speaker 4: Now look this is the Auckland Council release it's long
22:48
Speaker 4: waited report. This is into the Olympic Pools and Fitness
22:51
Speaker 4: center in new Market. You've probably been there, you go there.
22:54
Speaker 2: The one that okay, well.
22:55
Speaker 4: Yeah, well look it's released this report just two months
22:58
Speaker 4: before the least expires. Now it's identified there's several structural
23:02
Speaker 4: issues with the buildings, which estimates it could cost about
23:05
Speaker 4: five million dollars to address. So the report offers four
23:09
Speaker 4: options for going forward. And because of this earthquake prone
23:13
Speaker 4: and now it's saying that the White Mantar Local board
23:16
Speaker 4: is going to vote on it today, so it could
23:18
Speaker 4: close for a year. So what it's recommending an extension
23:22
Speaker 4: of the Olympic Pool's lease until twenty twenty six and
23:25
Speaker 4: the year closure of the facility afterwards for construction.
23:29
Speaker 2: Oh goodness man, So.
23:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, what I mean Olympic Pool. You know the director,
23:32
Speaker 4: he's not very happy about it. He's saying, look, we
23:34
Speaker 4: put forward, you know, some of the things that keep
23:37
Speaker 4: it open, and we can get some of the construction
23:39
Speaker 4: work done. So it's going back and forward.
23:40
Speaker 2: Because if the ground was going to open up and
23:43
Speaker 2: swallow you in, you know, during an earthquake, you wouldn't
23:45
Speaker 2: want to be in a pool, would you, because you
23:47
Speaker 2: just get flushed down like a toilet. Do you know
23:50
Speaker 2: what I mean? Exactly if you're swimming in a pool
23:52
Speaker 2: and there's a huge crack and the ground opens up.
23:55
Speaker 2: I mean, at least if you were on land, you
23:57
Speaker 2: can grab onto something.
23:57
Speaker 4: Oh that's right, I'll grab on to you. You pushed
24:00
Speaker 4: me down there, going see you later.
24:02
Speaker 2: How's the weather in contru.
24:03
Speaker 4: Gavy rain, thunderstorms inhil possible batten down the hatches southwesterly
24:08
Speaker 4: is gale from afternoon, gusting ninety kilometers per hour. Thirteen
24:11
Speaker 4: is the high.
24:11
Speaker 2: Thanks never seventeen to six News Talks, he'd.
24:14
Speaker 1: Been international correspondence with ends and eye insurance. Peace of
24:18
Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business if.
24:20
Speaker 2: You're just joining us. The man accused of potentially harming
24:25
Speaker 2: or planning to harm the US president, former President Donald Trump,
24:29
Speaker 2: has appeared in West Palm Beach in the court there
24:32
Speaker 2: and was apparently hiding out in the bushes at his
24:35
Speaker 2: golf club for twelve hours before Secret Service agents shot
24:39
Speaker 2: at him and he drove away. He is facing two
24:43
Speaker 2: chargers which are basically just low level gun charges and
24:47
Speaker 2: the reason for that is the more serious charges are
24:50
Speaker 2: expected to come later. These are the ones they could
24:53
Speaker 2: basically pin them on. Right now, just gone fourteen away.
24:55
Speaker 3: From six Bryan Bridge.
24:57
Speaker 2: I'm we're going to Donald Tomo, our Australia correspondent. Done
25:00
Speaker 2: very cold over your way.
25:02
Speaker 10: Oh you wouldn't believe it, but Australians just love talking
25:05
Speaker 10: about the weather and we have had record load temperatures
25:08
Speaker 10: across Southeast Australia. This icy blast has struck several states
25:13
Speaker 10: in fact, and these freezing temperatures have pretty much caught
25:17
Speaker 10: us unawares in the capital, for instance, in Canberra minus
25:21
Speaker 10: six point nine degrees, Inland, New South Wales below zero
25:25
Speaker 10: across many areas, and in a South Australia town the
25:28
Speaker 10: coldest September in sixty two years. As I mentioned New
25:32
Speaker 10: South Wales, you know areas minus eight, minus six in
25:36
Speaker 10: Bathist minus four degrees. Victoria regional areas had minus four
25:41
Speaker 10: point five and minus four in the Mali region in
25:45
Speaker 10: the heart of Victoria the coldest in twenty nine years.
25:49
Speaker 10: So the way the Bureau says, oh, this system has
25:51
Speaker 10: come almost from Antarctica and these temperatures about five to
25:56
Speaker 10: eight degrees below average. Frankly, it's all take It's all
26:00
Speaker 10: been a bit of a shock, to be honest. But
26:03
Speaker 10: the weather forecast for today it's going to be a
26:05
Speaker 10: frosty morning, but thankfully by tomorrow it should start warming up.
26:09
Speaker 2: I was going to say, is this really news, but
26:12
Speaker 2: it's cold and Australia. Yes there is news. Let's go
26:15
Speaker 2: to trot warm tropical Queensland. There's a famous island that's
26:20
Speaker 2: been sold.
26:21
Speaker 10: So this Queensland island inspired scenes in Chronicles of Narnia.
26:25
Speaker 10: A film that came out I think around twenty ten.
26:29
Speaker 4: It's just solid.
26:30
Speaker 10: At auction, there were about two hundred and eighty seven inquiries.
26:33
Speaker 10: Now sadly I wasn't one of them. But this this
26:36
Speaker 10: place is called Little Green Island. It's owned by a
26:39
Speaker 10: film producer and actor called Douglas Gresham. Happens to be
26:42
Speaker 10: the stepson of Narnia's author C. S.
26:44
Speaker 3: Lewis.
26:45
Speaker 10: It's just south of the Whitsunday Islands on the Great
26:47
Speaker 10: Barrier Reef, a beautiful, beautiful part of the world. Well
26:50
Speaker 10: Gresham happens to live in Malta, but he bought this
26:53
Speaker 10: sixty three acre private island for two point four to
26:56
Speaker 10: five million about fifteen years ago. And what's their well,
26:59
Speaker 10: tropical forest, lagoon, pristine beaches, one house and a caretaker's
27:03
Speaker 10: cottage in a pool. And the family said that they
27:07
Speaker 10: relay to the agent that this island had inspired these
27:10
Speaker 10: scenes in this film The Chronicles of Narnia. The agent
27:13
Speaker 10: said it was unspoilt and secluded and it was quite beautiful.
27:17
Speaker 10: But they're very very thankful locals are anyway, that the
27:21
Speaker 10: buyer came from Mackay in Queensland, so it didn't go
27:24
Speaker 10: to an international buyer. As I mentioned that many, many
27:26
Speaker 10: people wanted to get their hands on this beautiful, beautiful
27:29
Speaker 10: part of the world.
27:30
Speaker 2: It sounds like it, Donna, thank you very much for that.
27:32
Speaker 2: Don and our Australia correspondent eleven minutes away from.
27:35
Speaker 3: Six crain Bridge.
27:37
Speaker 2: So the government's plans target is to have twenty thousand
27:40
Speaker 2: fewer victims of violent crime by twenty thirty, but the
27:43
Speaker 2: latest figures show that victimizations are going up. Luxelon's blaming
27:47
Speaker 2: the previous lot and.
27:48
Speaker 10: It's also further proof that the previous soft on crime
27:51
Speaker 10: approach has emboldened defenders and created a crime wave that
27:55
Speaker 10: will take a much tougher approach to stop.
27:58
Speaker 2: Duncan web Is, Labour's Justice person is with us this morning,
28:01
Speaker 2: dunk and good morning.
28:02
Speaker 11: Good morning. When that line's not going to work forever,
28:04
Speaker 11: is that he's he's had a pretty much a year
28:07
Speaker 11: now in things getting worse.
28:09
Speaker 2: But you guys use that line for six years.
28:14
Speaker 11: No, well they had nine years in so they've got
28:16
Speaker 11: more to an answer for. But look, the fact of
28:18
Speaker 11: the matter is that the tough on crime it sounds
28:21
Speaker 11: good and everyone wants a safe community and we should
28:26
Speaker 11: be tough on violent criminals. People who are violent criminals
28:29
Speaker 11: should be sentenced properly. But there's nothing new in this
28:33
Speaker 11: sentencing change that we're seeing now.
28:36
Speaker 2: Well, they're wanting to limit the discounts to forty percent.
28:39
Speaker 2: What would be your number in terms of a discount
28:42
Speaker 2: if you're a criminal, you're going through the courts, how
28:45
Speaker 2: much is your maximum discount? Do you think?
28:48
Speaker 11: Well, I look at what judges do now, and when
28:51
Speaker 11: ever they give a discount, particularly particularly a large one,
28:55
Speaker 11: they want really good reasons. They want to show that
28:57
Speaker 11: it's going to be manifestly unjust if they if they imprison.
29:01
Speaker 3: Them for longer.
29:02
Speaker 11: And that's exactly the rule that they're putting in. So,
29:05
Speaker 11: I mean, the judges have discretion for a reason, and
29:08
Speaker 11: the reason is to take account of exceptional cases. A
29:11
Speaker 11: forty percent discount in real life is a very very
29:15
Speaker 11: large discount. Indeed, this isn't even a bright line maximum.
29:19
Speaker 11: It's forty percent unless it would be manifest now just
29:23
Speaker 11: to impose that sentence, in which case you can get
29:25
Speaker 11: a great discount. So it's not even a rule. So
29:28
Speaker 11: would you then what's there already? Well, it changes nothing,
29:32
Speaker 11: and it places more and more confusing rules in the
29:38
Speaker 11: for the opposing sentences, So probably not, you.
29:41
Speaker 2: Know, probably not, because are you going to support any
29:44
Speaker 2: of their changes? I mean when it comes to the
29:46
Speaker 2: gang laws, for example, is there anything in there that
29:50
Speaker 2: you say, yes, good idea, will support you on that.
29:54
Speaker 11: The gang laws are another one which are an absolute
29:57
Speaker 11: dog's breakfast. It's pretty much unf forceful. The Gang Insignia DAN,
30:02
Speaker 11: the dispersal orders thing, going to serve notices on gangs
30:06
Speaker 11: by email, the first time I've ever seen anything like that,
30:09
Speaker 11: and they haven't even got their email addresses. They have
30:10
Speaker 11: to go up and ask nicely for them. This is
30:13
Speaker 11: exactly what I mean. So government, how you see something
30:16
Speaker 11: the table? Yeah?
30:17
Speaker 2: Can you see though why we are here? Can you
30:20
Speaker 2: see why a government would come in and respond like this?
30:25
Speaker 2: Try everything they can literally throw in the kitchen table,
30:28
Speaker 2: at the kitchen sink at this because things have gotten
30:32
Speaker 2: so bad under.
30:33
Speaker 11: You guys, well they might as well throw the kitchen sink.
30:36
Speaker 11: Because as much evidence to that helping as is for
30:40
Speaker 11: things like boot camps, you know, and that's part of
30:42
Speaker 11: the point. We put in some programs that were making
30:44
Speaker 11: great progress. They were the circuit break of programs for
30:47
Speaker 11: young offenders. They took half of that and added a
30:51
Speaker 11: boot camp to it and said, look what we're doing
30:53
Speaker 11: now again, Yes, we see that we want safer communities,
30:58
Speaker 11: and over since OVID there's been an increase in crime,
31:02
Speaker 11: and that increase has continued. Yes, we agree we need
31:05
Speaker 11: to do things, but doing things like just putting a
31:09
Speaker 11: quick coat of paint over the Sentencing Act isn't doing anything.
31:12
Speaker 11: What we need is better interventions, better alcohol and treatment,
31:16
Speaker 11: better health interventions for petter mental health problems, and a
31:20
Speaker 11: better reaction system.
31:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that all sounds lovely. Hey, speaking of interventions,
31:26
Speaker 2: are you is anyone planning an intervention on Chippy down
31:29
Speaker 2: on twelve percent?
31:32
Speaker 11: I hadn't seen that number. The look, we think he's doing.
31:34
Speaker 3: A great jobs.
31:36
Speaker 2: So I'll tell you the number that have had The
31:38
Speaker 2: taxpayer Uni Caurier poll out has preferred PM down six
31:42
Speaker 2: point one points to twelve point six. Yeah.
31:47
Speaker 11: Well that's David Fower's pole and his polling methods are
31:50
Speaker 11: a bit dodgy. But whatever the number, we think he's
31:52
Speaker 11: doing a great job. He's out there, he's getting around
31:55
Speaker 11: the country, he's telling our story, and we think he's
31:58
Speaker 11: doing a great job.
31:59
Speaker 2: You're ok with them going over to the UK to
32:01
Speaker 2: the Labor Party conference? Is that is that the place
32:03
Speaker 2: to be to get crime down?
32:06
Speaker 11: Oh, the Labor Party conference is going to look at
32:08
Speaker 11: a party that won and got some new ideas and
32:11
Speaker 11: doing different things and we want to see how they
32:13
Speaker 11: did it. I think it's a really good all.
32:14
