Speaker 1: New Zealand's furniture beds and a play at store us Dogs.
0:15
Speaker 2: It'd be good morning, Welcome to your Tuesday our lead
0:19
Speaker 2: interview before six this morning. Seventy percent of employers don't
0:23
Speaker 2: reckon that NCA level one is basically any good GP
0:28
Speaker 2: referrals for surgeries. If you've got one of those, we'll
0:31
Speaker 2: look out. We'll tell you more about why that's a worry.
0:33
Speaker 2: Plus the cop shop in Auckland City and why it
0:36
Speaker 2: won't solve all of our problems. Donnad Tomato out of
0:39
Speaker 2: Australia this morning.
0:40
Speaker 3: Too, the agenda.
0:44
Speaker 2: It is Tuesday, the twenty sixth of November, but great
0:46
Speaker 2: to have your company this morning. On Israel, the BBC
0:49
Speaker 2: reporting that a ceasefire breakthrough has been made not with
0:53
Speaker 2: Hamas but with his buller in Lebanon. Apparently Netanyahu's agreed
0:59
Speaker 2: in private to it.
1:00
Speaker 4: There are issues and the primary concern that we've understood
1:04
Speaker 4: from the Israeli said all along is that if this
1:06
Speaker 4: sixty day ceasefire, if that gets up and running, as well,
1:10
Speaker 4: wants the rate to straight back if Hasbula breaks. The
1:14
Speaker 4: terms of the ceasefire.
1:16
Speaker 2: Still needs to be signed off by the Israeli cabinet,
1:19
Speaker 2: which apparently is going to vote tomorrow. The deal broker
1:22
Speaker 2: by the United States. US researchers reckon that North Korea
1:28
Speaker 2: is cranking up production of short range ballistic missiles. Why
1:32
Speaker 2: would they be doing that while they're being used in
1:34
Speaker 2: the war in Ukraine by Russia allegedly, So, there's a
1:39
Speaker 2: factory and they've found satellite images assessing the construction work
1:43
Speaker 2: that's taking place at this facility in ham hung This
1:47
Speaker 2: is northeast of the capital Pyongyang. Both Moscow and Pyongyang
1:51
Speaker 2: deny that North Korea has provided weapons for Russia's war
1:54
Speaker 2: in Ukraine, but who believes them. Thousands of supporters calling
1:59
Speaker 2: for the recent run Khan have clashed with police as
2:02
Speaker 2: they make their way to Pakistan's capital as Lumbard.
2:05
Speaker 5: The security forces have been using stun grenade as well
2:08
Speaker 5: as tear gash to disperse the crowd. However, this is
2:13
Speaker 5: a very large group of protesters.
2:16
Speaker 2: He's been in jail, by the way, since last August
2:19
Speaker 2: on multiple convictions. Some of those, though, have already been overturned.
2:23
Speaker 2: Seventeen people are missing after a tourist boat sank in
2:26
Speaker 2: the Red Sea off the coast of Egypt. Twenty eight
2:29
Speaker 2: were rescued, with some people airlifted hospital. Egyptian authorities say
2:33
Speaker 2: there were warnings about rough seas before the thinking took place.
2:38
Speaker 3: News and Views you trust to start your day.
2:41
Speaker 1: It's early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New
2:45
Speaker 1: Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store.
2:47
Speaker 3: News Talk said the.
2:48
Speaker 2: Wall Street's gone a bit nuts this morning. Record highs
2:51
Speaker 2: reached twenty six out of the thirty large US companies
2:56
Speaker 2: on the dour up in first trading this morning about
2:59
Speaker 2: an hour. And the reason they reckon is because of
3:04
Speaker 2: Donald Trump's pick. There's billionaire hedge fund manager Scott Besson
3:08
Speaker 2: who is going to be the next US Treasury secretary.
3:11
Speaker 2: Apparently safe pair of hands. He's worked with the Democrats,
3:14
Speaker 2: he's worked with the Republicans before. And how will he
3:18
Speaker 2: moderate Trump's tariffs? How will he moderate his let's boot
3:22
Speaker 2: the migrants out of America, which it's expected. Both of
3:26
Speaker 2: those things will push up inflation, which is obviously not
3:28
Speaker 2: a good thing. So how will he moderate those things?
3:31
Speaker 2: Apparently the markets like him and trust him and think
3:34
Speaker 2: he's quite a pragmatic, safe pair of hands, quite a
3:37
Speaker 2: reasonable guy. So there you go. That's happening this morning.
3:40
Speaker 2: Also in Wellington. Got to just get sick of reading
3:43
Speaker 2: about Wellington at the moment. There's this stupid city to
3:47
Speaker 2: see bridge. Has anyone ever seen that? It's hideous anyway?
3:52
Speaker 2: So what do they do? They want to demolish it
3:54
Speaker 2: because there's something wrong with it, or it's not safe
3:56
Speaker 2: or whatever, So what do they do? Open it up
3:58
Speaker 2: for feedback? Honestly, who cares what people think about demolishing
4:03
Speaker 2: this hideous bridge that goes from the city to the sea.
4:06
Speaker 2: You probably know the one. I mean, it looks like
4:08
Speaker 2: I don't know, let's like someone's tried to build a
4:10
Speaker 2: playground on top of a bridge anyway, ugly. In late October,
4:15
Speaker 2: the Wellington City Council asked for feedback on its future plans.
4:20
Speaker 2: Why just demolish it if it needs to go, it
4:22
Speaker 2: needs to go anyway. The feedback has been very bad
4:25
Speaker 2: for them. Eighty were against either of the new options proposed,
4:30
Speaker 2: one of which was demolishing the bridge entirely. Seventeen said
4:33
Speaker 2: they supported building a new bridge with an accompanying pedestrian crossing. Sorry,
4:40
Speaker 2: you've got a bridge going across a busy road I
4:45
Speaker 2: might say a very busy road. That it's sort of
4:47
Speaker 2: an arterial route that gets you from your main road.
4:51
Speaker 2: You state Highway one, you go past the stadium for
4:55
Speaker 2: those in o Sky Stadium, you keep going around to
4:58
Speaker 2: the waterfront. That's the road we're talking about. Why would
5:02
Speaker 2: you build a pedestrian crossing as well as an overbridge
5:06
Speaker 2: for walking? Anyway? Good luck Wellington eleven after five Graham Bridge.
5:19
Speaker 2: Tell you who's not upset or angry this morning, and
5:22
Speaker 2: that is Christopher Luxon. He put up this press release
5:26
Speaker 2: yesterday and I just want to read you. Does this
5:27
Speaker 2: resonate with you? He says, I'm aspirational for New Zealanders
5:31
Speaker 2: and I'm energized about our ongoing fight to rebuild this nation.
5:36
Speaker 2: He sees in Phacians two point two percent. Well, you
5:39
Speaker 2: can't argue with that. Wages have grown faster than Infasian
5:41
Speaker 2: for four quarters. The family boost childcare has come through.
5:44
Speaker 2: Police foot patrols are up thirty percent, ram raids are
5:47
Speaker 2: down in sixty percent. Six hundred million dollars has been
5:50
Speaker 2: invested in farmac. If does that resonate with you. Do
5:53
Speaker 2: you feel good about where we're going as a country.
5:56
Speaker 2: He's put out a press release marking his first year
5:58
Speaker 2: in government. Nine two ninety two is the number to texts.
6:02
Speaker 2: Twelve after five News talks there be.
6:07
Speaker 6: Let's keep.
6:11
Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth
6:14
Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New
6:18
Speaker 1: Zealand's Furniture Beds and a flying Store.
6:20
Speaker 3: News Talks.
6:21
Speaker 2: It'd be good morning to you everyone. Fourteen after five.
6:24
Speaker 2: We're going to talk to Donna Demayo out of Australia
6:26
Speaker 2: just before six this morning because it's a big day
6:29
Speaker 2: for their social media ban. I'll tell you more about
6:32
Speaker 2: that shortly. Right now, though, gps are warning that patients
6:36
Speaker 2: who desperately need hospital treatment are increasingly not even making
6:40
Speaker 2: it onto waiting lists. A letter lead to the media
6:44
Speaker 2: from Parveston North Hospital's Orthopedic clinic to a GP earlier
6:48
Speaker 2: this year confirms referrals are being knocked back due to
6:51
Speaker 2: a lack of resources. What exactly does this mean? Luke
6:54
Speaker 2: Bradford is the Royal New Zealand College of GP's medical
6:57
Speaker 2: Directors with us this morning.
6:58
Speaker 7: Look, good morning morning, Ryan, how are you.
7:01
Speaker 2: I'm well, thank you. What exactly is the problem here?
7:05
Speaker 7: So there's always been a way of triaging patients according
7:10
Speaker 7: to need, but traditionally that level and what society would
7:15
Speaker 7: accept is that level of need would be justifiable that
7:20
Speaker 7: people would have conditions seen when they needed to be
7:23
Speaker 7: seen to manage their symptoms. What's happening is as demands
7:28
Speaker 7: go on the system and it's creaking, and we knowver
7:31
Speaker 7: health targets, have people been seen within four months and
7:34
Speaker 7: operated on quickly. One way of managing that is to
7:37
Speaker 7: not take patients onto lists in the first place.
7:40
Speaker 2: So patients who would ordinarily go on to a list
7:43
Speaker 2: and not being put onto a list. And this is
7:46
Speaker 2: a new thing after the targets have been introduced or
7:49
Speaker 2: has this always happened?
7:51
Speaker 7: So it's always happened the list. The acceptance level fluctuates,
7:57
Speaker 7: it goes up and down according to demandond but when
8:01
Speaker 7: the system is under pressure, often that threshold rises and
8:06
Speaker 7: so people have to have to be really really unwell
8:09
Speaker 7: or really disabled in order to be seen. What we're
8:11
Speaker 7: not having is confirmation, but it's occurring, but it seems
8:14
Speaker 7: anecdotally that that's likely.
8:17
Speaker 2: When you say they have to be how disabled do
8:19
Speaker 2: you have to be to need a knee replacement.
8:22
Speaker 8: Ah.
8:23
Speaker 7: I mean it can be really bad at the moment.
8:26
Speaker 7: I've had patients who are essentially in wheelchairs are still
8:30
Speaker 7: waiting nine to twelve months having to go onto opioid medicines,
8:36
Speaker 7: needing full time care. It can be quite severe.
8:39
Speaker 2: And these people you're talking about. If you're on opioids
8:43
Speaker 2: and you're in a wheelchair because you need a knee replacement,
8:46
Speaker 2: surely you're on the list.
8:48
Speaker 7: Yeah, you're on the list. Just the list is long.
8:50
Speaker 2: So if you could right, okay's is very long. But
8:53
Speaker 2: if you can walk, you may not be on the list.
8:58
Speaker 3: Ah.
9:00
Speaker 7: But I think that's it's not necessarily that black and white.
9:03
Speaker 7: But often people will get put on the lesson then
9:05
Speaker 7: week so long with they'll end up in a chair
9:07
Speaker 7: by the time they are operated.
9:08
Speaker 2: Okay, Luke, thank you for that. Luke Bradford, who's the
9:11
Speaker 2: Royal New Zealand College of GP's medical director. I mean
9:14
Speaker 2: it's not great, is it? Seventeen minutes after five? If
9:17
Speaker 2: you're run in a wheelchair on opioids and not on
9:20
Speaker 2: a waiting list, please text me because you should be
9:23
Speaker 2: for goodness sakes, nine two ninety two is the number
9:26
Speaker 2: or on News Talks in.
9:27
Speaker 1: Being the first word on the News of the day
9:31
Speaker 1: early edition with Ryan Bridge and sim City New Zealand's
9:34
Speaker 1: furniture beds and a player store.
9:36
Speaker 2: You Talks did twenty after five. We'll look at NCA
9:39
Speaker 2: level one just before six this morning. Lots of feedback.
9:42
Speaker 8: Ryan.
9:43
Speaker 2: It's not a doctor shortage. We've been talking about the
9:45
Speaker 2: wait list. Ryan, it's not a doctor shortage. This is
9:47
Speaker 2: from Steve. It's a surplus of fat lazy people. I mean,
9:53
Speaker 2: there'll probably be a bit of that, but you can't
9:55
Speaker 2: blame all knee and hip operation requirements on fat lazy
9:58
Speaker 2: people age, Steve, don't they? Morning Ryan. This is the
10:03
Speaker 2: problem with New Zealand. This is on the Wellington Sea
10:06
Speaker 2: to what is it called the Sea to Wharf Bridge
10:10
Speaker 2: City to See bridge, the ugly thing you drive under
10:13
Speaker 2: and they want to replace it and no one really
10:15
Speaker 2: knows why. And they want to replace it with not
10:17
Speaker 2: just another bridge, but a pedestrian crossing underneath it as well.
10:21
Speaker 2: Good morning Ryan. That's the problem with New Zealand. We
10:24
Speaker 2: cater to the minority. We have thousands of cars going
10:27
Speaker 2: under that bridge and someone suggests a pedestrian traffic light
10:30
Speaker 2: for one person. If if s rebuild the bridge and
10:34
Speaker 2: carry on, says Erica. It is twenty one after five.
10:37
Speaker 3: Now, Ryan Bridge.
10:39
Speaker 2: Ay, they're doing something right in Aukland, though, aren't they.
10:41
Speaker 2: Business is happy. The police are moving back into the CBD.
10:45
Speaker 2: There's going to be a new police station on Federal Street,
10:47
Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy meters from the old police station,
10:50
Speaker 2: which was closed a few years ago. Vivbck's with Heart
10:53
Speaker 2: of the City. Viv, good morning, you're happy.
10:55
Speaker 9: Good morning, very happy, Thank you.
10:58
Speaker 2: Great news. But what about the d How many police
11:01
Speaker 2: officers are going in here? How many extra on the beat?
11:04
Speaker 2: Do you know?
11:06
Speaker 9: Well, the goal at the moment is these fifty one,
11:09
Speaker 9: and I think we've got another eight to bring that
11:12
Speaker 9: up to fifty one. We are noticing the difference from that.
11:16
Speaker 9: But we have said all along that with the CRL
11:18
Speaker 9: coming on board, we are going to need more because
11:21
Speaker 9: at the moment we've got about a million people counted
11:23
Speaker 9: walking around in the core central to the area every week.
11:27
Speaker 9: But we've got people working, studying, visiting, you know, and
11:33
Speaker 9: that's for us to grow. So we are going to
11:36
Speaker 9: need more. But I think, you know, one step at
11:38
Speaker 9: a time. This is a key piece of the safety
11:41
Speaker 9: solution we've been after. It's a visibility presence right in
11:45
Speaker 9: the downtown area. And actually that location is good because
11:48
Speaker 9: that station is expected to be the busiest one in
11:51
Speaker 9: New Zealand. It's a central location to get up to
11:55
Speaker 9: K Road downtown.
11:56
Speaker 2: How many people will you get through that station?
11:59
Speaker 7: Do you know?
12:00
Speaker 10: Well?
12:01
Speaker 9: I think, I mean the plans originally we're talking about
12:04
Speaker 9: fifty four thousand an hour. That's when all those extra
12:08
Speaker 9: crossings and things that they're talking about are up and
12:12
Speaker 9: running and ranking optimally. So that'll take a little while,
12:14
Speaker 9: but that is going to be a really busy area.
12:16
Speaker 9: So you know, you probably weren't. I was a young
12:19
Speaker 9: person in New York in the eighties when the set
12:22
Speaker 9: when the underground was very very unsafe, only for being
12:25
Speaker 9: there with my parents.
12:26
Speaker 7: We've got to.
12:27
Speaker 9: Get this safe, and so having police in that location
12:30
Speaker 9: and having enough of them is going to be important
12:33
Speaker 9: to actually get the safety right right from the start.
12:35
Speaker 2: Your hope that would be because you said there's about
12:37
Speaker 2: eight more offices coming on the beat from this this shop,
12:42
Speaker 2: so you'd be hoping to actually increase that even further
12:45
Speaker 2: once the station.
12:46
Speaker 9: Over time, and we've raised that with police because we're
12:49
Speaker 9: basically getting a sub terranean operation going there, and it's
12:52
Speaker 9: important it starts off on the right footing. But at
12:55
Speaker 9: the end of the day, having that location, I think
12:57
Speaker 9: is a great start. It will be, and the new
13:02
Speaker 9: Coniston has seen himself. There will be an ongoing focus
13:05
Speaker 9: in central sefty safety and they're talking about other areas
13:08
Speaker 9: as well. But you know, from our perspective, we want
13:11
Speaker 9: to be a vibrant, safe, twenty four to seven international
13:14
Speaker 9: city and you need enough for this to create that safety.
13:19
Speaker 2: Thanks so much for your views this morning. Always appreciated.
13:21
Speaker 2: Vibeck with Heart of the City of the Chief Executive.
13:23
Speaker 2: They're twenty three minutes after five. My question and I'll
13:27
Speaker 2: answer my own question next, hopefully you can help me,
13:30
Speaker 2: is where do all the crazies go once you kick
13:34
Speaker 2: them out of the CBD the early.
13:36
Speaker 1: Edition full the show podcast on iHeartRadio, how It By
13:40
Speaker 1: News Talks, AB News Talk ZAIDB.
13:43
Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong, a new police station in Central
13:46
Speaker 2: Auckland is good news as we're recent stats showing crime
13:50
Speaker 2: in the city is way down. But where are all
13:53
Speaker 2: the wackos and the nut jobs going to go next?
13:56
Speaker 2: That's my question. You know the ones I'm talking about.
13:58
Speaker 2: They strut around holding their pants up with one hand,
14:02
Speaker 2: a menacing look in their eye, shouting and ranting and
14:05
Speaker 2: raving and lunging at people. They're pissing in the middle
14:09
Speaker 2: of the street during the day, or fighting each other.
14:12
Speaker 2: Once the city is secured, where did these people go next?
14:16
Speaker 2: Parnell Ponsonby on a bus to Westfield New Market. If
14:20
Speaker 2: the idea is to make a city feel safe for people,
14:23
Speaker 2: then more cops will help do that. What they won't
14:26
Speaker 2: do is make these intimidating people disappear altogether like some houdiniact.
14:32
Speaker 2: One of the biggest problems we have with the lack
14:33
Speaker 2: of community drug and alcohol rehab centers in this country,
14:37
Speaker 2: affordable or free ones, and our correction system doesn't correct people.
14:43
Speaker 2: Last year, it's spent we learnt this this week four
14:46
Speaker 2: hundred million dollars of our money on rehab programs. Guess
14:50
Speaker 2: how much they reduced reoffending by guests less than two
14:53
Speaker 2: percent on most programs. So yes, we should celebrate the
14:58
Speaker 2: fact that we're getting more cops, drops gang patch bands,
15:01
Speaker 2: and supposedly harshest sentences for violence, because the last lot
15:05
Speaker 2: went a bit soft on that. But we shouldn't kid
15:08
Speaker 2: ourselves that it will magically solve all of our problems,
15:12
Speaker 2: all those of the whack jobs on.
15:14
Speaker 3: Queen Street, cry and Bridge.
15:17
Speaker 2: Twenty seven minutes after five. Great to have your company
15:19
Speaker 2: this morning. Lots of feedback coming in, Ryan. I took
15:22
Speaker 2: my sixteen year old daughter to Waikato Hospital in August
15:25
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three to see an NT doctor. Was told
15:28
Speaker 2: she had a hole in her air drum which would
15:31
Speaker 2: require surgery to fix. Due to staff shortages, she couldn't
15:35
Speaker 2: be put on a waiting list. His words, we were
15:38
Speaker 2: referred back to our GP, even though she struggles to
15:42
Speaker 2: hear in school and constantly gets air infections. Regards Roger, Roger,
15:46
Speaker 2: that is terrible and this is exactly the problem that
15:49
Speaker 2: we had our interview after five twenty this morning. It's
15:53
Speaker 2: exactly the problem. You get referred to as specialist. They're
15:57
Speaker 2: too busy, the surgeon's too busy.
15:59
Speaker 8: Whatever.
16:00
Speaker 2: You get kicked back to your GP, and they're like,
16:02
Speaker 2: well I've already referred you, so here we are at
16:05
Speaker 2: square one again anyway. Twenty eight minutes after five. Lots
16:09
Speaker 2: of feedback on n c A as well. We're going
16:11
Speaker 2: to talk about why our employers in particular don't have
16:15
Speaker 2: much of the way much in the way of trust
16:18
Speaker 2: in the NCAA Level one that is coming your way
16:21
Speaker 2: just before six your own news Talks.

Speaker 7: Got too far.
16:39

18:10
Speaker 2: of knowledge and skills. Seventy percent, So what the hell's
18:14
Speaker 2: it's there there for? We'll ask that question just before
18:17
Speaker 2: six this morning. Some Starma Karma over in the UK. Overnight,
18:21
Speaker 2: he was apparently a bit bamboos a lot on ITV
18:25
Speaker 2: breakfast interview in which he was presented with a petition
18:29
Speaker 2: topping two million signatures to hold another election that's just
18:35
Speaker 2: had one, and he said, no, oh, look, it's just
18:38
Speaker 2: because we had a bad budget and we put taxes up,
18:40
Speaker 2: et cetera. Rachel Reeves, by the way, who they're calling
18:44
Speaker 2: the new Thatcher, she's having a bit of trouble too
18:48
Speaker 2: explaining her tax hikes and that the magnitude of them overnight.
18:53
Speaker 2: In fact, she's on ITV, she's on Sky News right
18:55
Speaker 2: now doing just that at some event. And what's happened
18:59
Speaker 2: overnight is that businesses have scaled back, quite dramatically, scaled
19:03
Speaker 2: back their hiring intentions because they've been hit with these
19:06
Speaker 2: new taxes. Here in New Zealand, speaking of Labor Party
19:09
Speaker 2: and taxes, the Labor Party conference is taking place in
19:13
Speaker 2: christ Church this weekend and the members there are going
19:17
Speaker 2: to vote on whether they will include a capital gains
19:20
Speaker 2: tax and or a wealth tax in policy plans for
19:25
Speaker 2: the party for the twenty twenty six election. It doesn't
19:28
Speaker 2: guarantee that they will make it into the manifesto. That's
19:30
Speaker 2: not how it works, but it at least means that
19:33
Speaker 2: it's in contention. And what they're also doing quite intentionally
19:37
Speaker 2: is saying it's either a capital gains tax, a wealth
19:39
Speaker 2: tax or nothing else, because those are vote losers, you know,
19:43
Speaker 2: when you start talking about land taxes, inheritance taxes, etc.
19:47
Speaker 2: So that's what's happening this weekend twenty two away from
19:50
Speaker 2: six Bread Rich We're going to our reporters now in Dunedin.
19:55
Speaker 2: We've got news with Blake, Benny Blake. A partnership between
19:58
Speaker 2: Otago Museum and and the Pacific community continues there.
20:03
Speaker 3: That's right.
20:03
Speaker 12: The Museum's outreach program heads to the Cook Islands today
20:07
Speaker 12: to support the Science Expo on Munaya Island. The event
20:10
Speaker 12: was originally conceived by the team in twenty seventeen and
20:13
Speaker 12: has brought interactive science experiences to the Pacific nation since.
20:18
Speaker 12: Science Engagement Director Craig Grant says the once small project
20:21
Speaker 12: has now evolved into a major event, with the Cook
20:24
Speaker 12: Islands Prime Minister calling it for it to become bi annual.
20:28
Speaker 12: This year's expo features space technologies and their role in
20:31
Speaker 12: addressing issues like climate.
20:33
Speaker 2: Change, all very good. How's your weather, Blake.
20:35
Speaker 12: Lord, cloud clearing this morning, then occasional rain from the afternoon,

20:49
Speaker 13: of the World Buskers Festival. Ryan and a whole lot
20:52
Speaker 13: of excitement down here for it. It is a really
20:53
Speaker 13: great event that everyone seems to get behind down here.
20:56
Speaker 13: There are seventeen acts that are going to be a
20:59
Speaker 13: part of this ten days festival from late January. There'll
21:02
Speaker 13: be more than two hundred planned performances. Timidoo born Sam Wills,
21:06
Speaker 13: He's known as tape Face. Heill headline one of the
21:10
Speaker 13: ticketed shows. This says return to the city after about
21:13
Speaker 13: nine years Overseas Co director of the festival Drew James
21:17
Speaker 13: says there's been a particular focus this year on getting
21:19
Speaker 13: as many Canterbury acts involved as possible. He says christ
21:23
Speaker 13: Church is the center of circus in New Zealand and
21:26
Speaker 13: they've been looking at how to increase the profiles of
21:28
Speaker 13: artists here.
21:30
Speaker 2: What does tape Face do?
21:32
Speaker 13: Tape his face, tapes his face and performs. Yeah, there
21:35
Speaker 13: you go.
21:35
Speaker 2: Well, what does he perform?
21:38
Speaker 13: I guess you'd call it mime. He is actually quite good.
21:41
Speaker 13: I know it's surprising, doesn't sound a little good. But
21:44
Speaker 13: you can go to the ticketed event Ryan.
21:45
Speaker 2: I'll get you some tickets, Okay, I'll come all the
21:48
Speaker 2: way down for tapeface.
21:51
Speaker 13: Clear, cloudy period's a bit of morning drizzle, easterly's fresh
21:55
Speaker 13: later today high of twenty brilliant.
21:57
Speaker 2: Thank you Max Toles and Wellington Max. Crucial council meeting
22:00
Speaker 2: today on budget cuts. Yeah, in about four hours.
22:04
Speaker 14: Councilors watched on by the narrow covered from Covid to
22:07
Speaker 14: Crown Observer are going to go line by line through
22:10
Speaker 14: the long term plan. All of these smaller community projects, redevelopments, prepares,
22:14
Speaker 14: swimming pools, skate parks, even cycle lanes could lose their funding.
22:19
Speaker 14: Hundreds of millions of dollars to find. With the airport's
22:22
Speaker 14: shares sale canceled. That ongoing effort to reduce car parks
22:26
Speaker 14: in Wellington make it more difficult to drive around the
22:29
Speaker 14: city easier to bike is likely to be a focus.
22:32
Speaker 14: There are hundreds of millions of dollars to wipe off
22:34
Speaker 14: the books. Inevitably, cycle lanes have to be looked down
22:37
Speaker 14: in terms of value for money. The Golden Mile is
22:40
Speaker 14: still supposed to be going ahead Lambton to Willis and
22:43
Speaker 14: Manors to Courtney Placed, turning that into one big route
22:46
Speaker 14: for just buses and pedestrians. Some councilors want it scrapped
22:50
Speaker 14: or at least scaled back, but with a mayoralty with
22:53
Speaker 14: a little to show for it, this is really all
22:55
Speaker 14: the mayor's got left to fight for, and I'm sure
22:57
Speaker 14: she and others at council will do so today.
23:00
Speaker 2: Do you know what would make that at meeting far
23:02
Speaker 2: more efficient? If you take a leaf out of tapefaces
23:04
Speaker 2: book and just take the councilor's house shut for a
23:09
Speaker 2: couple of hours. Problem with them? Yeah, Hey, how's the
23:13
Speaker 2: weather today?
23:15
Speaker 14: Partly cloudy in northerlyies. It is a circus at council
23:18
Speaker 14: the high twenty.
23:19
Speaker 2: One thank you. Oh look, I know I'm running out
23:22
Speaker 2: of time here, but is it true that that bridge
23:25
Speaker 2: that goes from the city to the sea, you know,
23:28
Speaker 2: the ugly hideous one that they that they want to
23:30
Speaker 2: put a new bridge in so people can walk across
23:33
Speaker 2: along with a pedestrian crossing underneath it.
23:37
Speaker 14: Well, we covered the city to see bridge needing repairs
23:41
Speaker 14: that are obviously extortionate and cost a few weeks ago.
23:45
Speaker 14: And of course when something like that happens, it drags
23:47
Speaker 14: the sort of heritage advocate type people out from the woodwork.
23:51
Speaker 14: And some people want it to stay as it is
23:54
Speaker 14: with repairs done again high cost. Others want a new
23:57
Speaker 14: as you say, new bridge, I think just scrapping it,
24:01
Speaker 14: just bowling it is probably the best option.
24:04
Speaker 2: Just have no way across well you can get across
24:07
Speaker 2: the road.
24:08
Speaker 14: I mean you know it's by the little harbor area
24:11
Speaker 14: where you can hire paddle boats down by the harbor.
24:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, all right, Max, thank you for that. Max,
24:17
Speaker 2: and Wellington and never in Auckland never good morning, good morning.
24:21
Speaker 2: Degrees in AI in demand.
24:23
Speaker 6: Yes, artificial intelligence.
24:25
Speaker 15: So look we know that multiple universities and now they
24:28
Speaker 15: now run you know, like Masters of Artificial Intelligence degrees
24:31
Speaker 15: with many other courses and related papers.
24:33
Speaker 6: This is at various levels also available.
24:36
Speaker 15: Aut has almost seven hundred students taking an AI related
24:40
Speaker 15: course this year now. That is up from three hundred
24:43
Speaker 15: and fifty five and twenty seventeen. Vice Chancellor Damon Slesa
24:47
Speaker 15: says they're also working to incorporate AI across the curriculum.
24:51
Speaker 15: He said, it's going to be used in places as
24:53
Speaker 15: diverse as health and business, and increasingly in places where
24:56
Speaker 15: you may not expect to see it.
24:58
Speaker 6: That sus isn't it er? We could be it will
25:00
Speaker 6: be replaced.
25:00
Speaker 2: But why but why would you study it? Doesn't AI
25:03
Speaker 2: do itself?
25:04
Speaker 7: Oh?
25:05
Speaker 15: Yeah, I just I don't know very much about it
25:07
Speaker 15: at all, mind you. I am a luddite. I was
25:09
Speaker 15: just thinking I should you are not?
25:11
Speaker 16: I am?
25:12
Speaker 6: I need to just learn more about it. Do you
25:14
Speaker 6: imagine that they could replace us with AI?
25:17
Speaker 2: What's the point in learning about it when it's supposed
25:19
Speaker 2: to know about itself? Do you know what I mean?
25:20
Speaker 2: It's yeah anywhere anyway? How's the weather?
25:23
Speaker 6: Cloudy? Chance of a shower? Brilliance by twenty one?
25:26
Speaker 2: Thank you Neva. It is sixteen or look at that.
25:28
Speaker 2: Away from Sex News.
25:29
Speaker 1: Talks here big international correspondence with ends in eye insurance
25:34
Speaker 1: Peace of mind for New Zealand Business fourteen.
25:36
Speaker 2: Away from Sex News Talk, said b Donna domatos Our,
25:38
Speaker 2: Australia correspondent Onna. The government social media ban caused through
25:43
Speaker 2: under sixteens coursing quite a stir today.
25:46
Speaker 17: Yes, Interestingly, a certain inquiry has begun into the government's
25:50
Speaker 17: proposed laws to ban children. This is under sixteens from
25:53
Speaker 17: social media, so we've seen there's been about fifteen thousand
25:58
Speaker 17: submissions to the inquiry and that is a lot we know. Recently,
26:02
Speaker 17: Elon Musk himself tweeted about the Labor Government's bill and
26:07
Speaker 17: as you can imagine, that would have reached millions and millions.
26:10
Speaker 16: Of X users.
26:12
Speaker 17: So this report is due to be handed down this
26:14
Speaker 17: week now. Some say that the government is rushing these
26:17
Speaker 17: laws and it wants to pass these laws before parliament
26:20
Speaker 17: rises for the year.
26:20
Speaker 16: It's only a few days left of.
26:22
Speaker 17: Parliament for this week, but the inquiry has only been
26:27
Speaker 17: open for twenty four hours, and so people saying what
26:30
Speaker 17: are all these submissions? And in fact it's been noted
26:33
Speaker 17: that a lot of these submissions seem to be variants
26:37
Speaker 17: of a template report, if you know what I'm suggesting.
26:40
Speaker 16: That was the ABC reporting that.
26:43
Speaker 17: But others are saying that maybe Elon Musk is just
26:45
Speaker 17: trying to send a message directly or indirectly, as some
26:49
Speaker 17: might suggest to the Prime Minister Anthony Alberesi. So the
26:52
Speaker 17: bill itself will be referred to the Senate inquiry this week,
26:56
Speaker 17: submissions rap on Friday.
26:58
Speaker 16: And does the bill have coalition support? Absolutely.
27:02
Speaker 17: Both the Government and the Coalition are saying they are
27:04
Speaker 17: trying to protect the mental health and the safety of kids.
27:09
Speaker 16: By introducing this bill.
27:10
Speaker 17: In fact, Anthony Alberanezi says, the world is watching as
27:14
Speaker 17: Australia introduces this landmark ban. Others are saying that the
27:18
Speaker 17: bill could actually do more harm than good because some
27:22
Speaker 17: experts say that it actually exacerbates isolation for youngsters if
27:27
Speaker 17: they're not engaging with social media.
27:29
Speaker 2: That was the interesting part for me that the young
27:31
Speaker 2: people themselves are saying, actually, we don't know how we
27:35
Speaker 2: will communicate with each other without social media. It's like,
27:38
Speaker 2: well going with that's.
27:39
Speaker 16: How they've grown up.
27:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, this is true. Knock on their door. Thank
27:44
Speaker 2: you very much for that, Donna. Great to hear from
27:46
Speaker 2: uzialist donor Demo our Australia correspondent. It is twelve away from.
27:50
Speaker 3: Six Ryan Bridge Hero.
27:52
Speaker 2: The Education Review Office says INCA level one and listen
27:56
Speaker 2: up if you've got kids studying it this year or
27:58
Speaker 2: next year. Is not a fear or reliable assessment of students'
28:03
Speaker 2: knowledge or skills. A new report by the government agency
28:06
Speaker 2: also says less than three quarters of schools planned to
28:09
Speaker 2: offer Level one from next year. It comes a day
28:11
Speaker 2: after a new post COVID school achievement number that was
28:16
Speaker 2: at a near decade low. Patrick Gale is the only
28:19
Speaker 2: talk to a college principal with us this morning. Patrick
28:22
Speaker 2: Morden A good morning, Jill Erron.
28:24
Speaker 8: How are you?
28:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, really good? Thank you, thanks for coming on the show.
28:27
Speaker 2: You stopped offering in cil every one at started this year.
28:30
Speaker 2: Why did you do that?
28:33
Speaker 8: We had concerns in a number of areas. Firstly, pretty
28:37
Speaker 8: and most important was around the quad give support and
28:40
Speaker 8: implementation that took place during the process. We found that
28:45
Speaker 8: as a school, we were getting lots of information very
28:46
Speaker 8: very late, and the more we found out, the more
28:49
Speaker 8: concerns we had around whether it was going to be
28:51
Speaker 8: a valuable tool to support the progress of our students.
28:55
Speaker 8: So we decided to make the move away from Level
28:58
Speaker 8: one this year, and to be honest, haven't really looked
29:01
Speaker 8: back from that position.
29:02
Speaker 2: What are the results been like, I mean, obviously it's
29:04
Speaker 2: the early days, but how have you found it?
29:07
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean we've the main problem that exists in
29:10
Speaker 8: using education the moment is the lack of a coherent
29:12
Speaker 8: curriculum and without a map to guidance towards a destination,
29:17
Speaker 8: A lot of schools have been foundering in the dark.
29:20
Speaker 8: And therefore we've developed our own really strong, rigorous curriculum
29:24
Speaker 8: which has given our students, our teachers a pathway to
29:27
Speaker 8: enable quality assessments to occur at the end of it,
29:29
Speaker 8: rather than assessment driving what we teach, which in affecting
29:33
Speaker 8: what's been taking place the last a large number of
29:36
Speaker 8: years in using an education with the poor curriculum and
29:39
Speaker 8: overriding assessment that we've had in previous years.
29:43
Speaker 2: Speaking of assessments, this is students are twice as likely
29:46
Speaker 2: to give an excellence on an internal assessment compared to
29:50
Speaker 2: an exam. Why is that.
29:53
Speaker 8: I think teachers within the existing framework are able to
29:57
Speaker 8: target standards they may proceed to be easier they are
30:02
Speaker 8: with internal assessment. They're also able to offer more time,
30:05
Speaker 8: which might mean they don't enter students into all the externals,
30:08
Speaker 8: and that causes further problems because it means that students
30:12
Speaker 8: I'm actually taught the whole curriculum because you're targeting certain standards,
30:16
Speaker 8: and that means you're not preparing them as well at
30:17
Speaker 8: level two, three and tertiary education. If that's where students
30:21
Speaker 8: are going.
30:21
Speaker 2: On to the other problem I've heard of, Correct me
30:23
Speaker 2: if I'm wrong, But it's up to the department, each
30:26
Speaker 2: department in each school to decide how many credits their
30:29
Speaker 2: courses are worth.
30:31
Speaker 8: I think I would depend upon the school. As a school.
30:34
Speaker 8: We have a policy about how many credits we would
30:36
Speaker 8: expect students to have to sit at now in level
30:39
Speaker 8: two and level three, and we would also ensure that
30:42
Speaker 8: we are trying the more difficult standards or perceived difficult standards,
30:46
Speaker 8: because we believe that prepares our students the best for
30:49
Speaker 8: the following year. But again, different schools have different approaches
30:53
Speaker 8: towards that. I can't comment on what other schools are doing.
30:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, fair enough, Well, best of luck with your new
30:58
Speaker 2: system you've introduced for level one per appreciate your time
31:01
Speaker 2: this morning, Patrick Gale. That's set on a talk talk
31:03
Speaker 2: college principle with us. Some other quite horrifying numbers. Really,
31:07
Speaker 2: seventy percent of employers don't think it's a reliable measure
31:11
Speaker 2: of knowledge and skills. This is NCAA level one. Ninety
31:15
Speaker 2: percent of employers don't think it's a reliable measure of
31:20
Speaker 2: hard work and attitude.
31:23
Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition with
31:27
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and Smith City New Zealand's Furniture Beds and
31:31
Speaker 1: a playing Store, Youth Talk said, be.
31:33
Speaker 2: Six away from six News Talks said, be guess who's
31:35
Speaker 2: gone on holiday to Hawaii? Kamala Harris. I suppose she
31:38
Speaker 2: deserves a break after that campaign, doesn't she? Lots of
31:41
Speaker 2: feedback this morning, Ryan, I work in a decile one school.
31:47
Speaker 2: We have no funding next year. This is after our
31:50
Speaker 2: NCAA story, no funding next year for the teacher ades
31:54
Speaker 2: needed to make an average day work. Our classes have
31:57
Speaker 2: more than forty percent of the kids with learning disabilities
32:01
Speaker 2: and will be larger than it. How did everyone what's
32:04
Speaker 2: wrong with everyone? When did this happen? When did everyone
32:07
Speaker 2: have a learning disability? And where did they come from?
32:12
Speaker 2: I honestly don't know the answer that question. Five away
32:14
Speaker 2: from six to Mike's here, Good morning morning.
32:16
Speaker 10: We had Tim O'Connor on yesterday who's the grammar headmaster?
32:19
Speaker 10: And he was saying this is as regards NCA level one,
32:23
Speaker 10: so he was saying primary school doesn't prepare kids for
32:25
Speaker 10: high school, and of course it's well known that high
32:27
Speaker 10: schools don't prepare kids for university, so none of it works, no,
32:31
Speaker 10: And then while it's not working, then they're coming along
32:34
Speaker 10: in CA Level one and changing it yet again. All
32:37
Speaker 10: I've done since the introduction of n CEA has changed
32:40
Speaker 10: it continually. And then you get the story this morning
32:43
Speaker 10: that's floating about that, the change to the maths curriculum.
32:46
Speaker 10: The books, there's no.
32:48
Speaker 2: Books, but there are. The books are online. They don't
32:50
Speaker 2: have the physical books, but you can look at them
32:52
Speaker 2: online apparently, so there'll be no one without technically.
32:56
Speaker 10: See, you just wonder, is the problem that they're trying
32:59
Speaker 10: to fix it as in, like they know this problem,
33:01
Speaker 10: so we're trying our best to fix it, or do
33:02
Speaker 10: they just not had the slightest idea what's going on
33:05
Speaker 10: so they just keep turning it over around around.
33:07
Speaker 2: We go, well, I suppose it's probably both one and
33:09
Speaker 2: the same. But but why are kids why do kids
33:12
Speaker 2: have all these learning disabilities because we've decided they do,
33:16
Speaker 2: so you don't think they're because I mean I wonder,
33:19
Speaker 2: I mean, how do you suddenly go from like twelve
33:21
Speaker 2: percent of people with ADHD to like forty percent.
33:24
Speaker 10: That's that's applicable most things in life. Ryan, if you've
33:28
Speaker 10: got a problem, it's now embraced.
33:29
Speaker 2: If you stand.
33:30
Speaker 10: If you wake up one morning and go tell you
33:32
Speaker 10: what I've discovered. I've got a problem, that go absolutely
33:34
Speaker 10: you do. They'll they'll wrap they have some wrap around
33:36
Speaker 10: support for there's some pills for it, some pills and
33:39
Speaker 10: some hell anyway, Prime Minister this morning, very good.
33:42
Speaker 2: You know John Grisham, No, so.
33:45
Speaker 10: He's doing some very interesting work at the moment with
33:48
Speaker 10: people on death Throat.
33:49
Speaker 2: So yes, I knew about that. Will there you go.
33:53
Speaker 10: So he's on after eight.
33:54
Speaker 2: Very cool. It's not Baddy, not a bad show. All right,
33:56
Speaker 2: we'll look forward to it. Mike, it's next. Thanks for
33:59
Speaker 2: joining me this morning of who want to see Tomorrow?
34:08
Speaker 1: For more from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge, listen live
