- 0:43Speaker 2: than a Kim Kardashian wedding.
- 0:46Speaker 4: Being a prime minister is a difficult job, perhaps even
- 0:50Speaker 4: more so at the moment. But you cannot be a
- 0:53Speaker 4: prime minister when the conditions are not mat.
- 0:57Speaker 2: So we'll wait and see what happens there. I'll tell

- 1:26Speaker 5: guides are speaking to someone just now as saying for
- 1:28Speaker 5: the past six years, this is happening increasingly becoming common,

- 2:12Speaker 1: If they don't start spending some of that fortune making
- 2:14Speaker 1: decent television, you're going to lose your business.
- 2:16Speaker 2: And it was decent television too, a brilliant piece of
- 2:19Speaker 2: British launch. Queen K. Miller has paid tributes, saying very
- 2:23Speaker 2: few writers get to be a legend in their own lifetime,

- 2:31Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and r V Supercenter explore r
- 2:35Speaker 1: v's accessories and servicing all in one news talks at
- 2:39Speaker 1: b got.
- 2:39Speaker 2: The OCA decision tomorrow eight after five, nineteen ninety two,
- 2:42Speaker 2: and the nzed I does this policy shadow board meeting
- 2:48Speaker 2: where they get a bunch of economists together. I'll give
- 2:50Speaker 2: you some names. Kelly Ecole from Westpact, you know him.
- 2:53Speaker 2: Jared Kerr from Kiwibank, Arthur Grimes, he's at University Victoria,
- 2:58Speaker 2: University Wellington, Doug Steele be inz. So they all get
- 3:02Speaker 2: together and they pretend they're the Reserve Back Monetary Policy Committee. Anyway,
- 3:06Speaker 2: the majority of them have said and predicted a twenty
- 3:09Speaker 2: five basis point cut tomorrow, inflation heading towards three percent. Yeah,
- 3:15Speaker 2: it's short term it's midterm. We'll get through it. We'll
- 3:17Speaker 2: get to two by next mid next year. But there's
- 3:21Speaker 2: still a risk. So don't go crazy, don't go double
- 3:24Speaker 2: where me, just go twenty five basis points at this point.
- 3:27Speaker 2: And by the way, yes, we went backwards in quarter too,
- 3:30Speaker 2: but we're growing again now. Anyway, that's the NZI Shadow committee.
- 3:35Speaker 2: Speaking of shadowy. What about the Greens in this press
- 3:39Speaker 2: conference yesterday were to do with Gaza? And this chick
- 3:42Speaker 2: who's this woman who was involved with the protest at
- 3:46Speaker 2: Winston Peter's house. Okay, this was last Thursday. She's there
- 3:51Speaker 2: waving her bann hoer and going on her TikTok and
- 3:53Speaker 2: her Instagram and I mean these people are basically nutjobs,
- 3:57Speaker 2: and going on her Instagram and going on social media
- 3:59Speaker 2: and saying, ah, here we are down here at Winston's house,
- 4:02Speaker 2: like his private house, personal house where his partner lives,
- 4:06Speaker 2: and then saying to her friend, shall I tell everyone
- 4:09Speaker 2: where it is and then says the address of our
- 4:13Speaker 2: foreign Minister's Fast forward a couple of days, she's up
- 4:18Speaker 2: there with Chloe looking all devastated and distraught for the
- 4:22Speaker 2: people of Gaza, up there at a press conference that's
- 4:25Speaker 2: been organized by the Green Party. Would love to know,
- 4:29Speaker 2: by the way, who's paying for the flights that averyone
- 4:31Speaker 2: to get here is at the Green Party leader's office,
- 4:34Speaker 2: in which case it is us that's paying for it. Anyway,
- 4:38Speaker 2: that's a sidebar. Here is this woman who has just
- 4:41Speaker 2: blurted out the Foreign Minister's address to all in sundry
- 4:46Speaker 2: fronting a press conference next to the co leader of
- 4:48Speaker 2: the Green Party, and then someone goes and throws a
- 4:53Speaker 2: something through a glass window at Winston Peter's house yesterday.
- 4:57Speaker 2: Now I don't know who did that, I have no idea,
- 4:59Speaker 2: but there was a note left, so we'll find out today,
- 5:02Speaker 2: no doubt what happens with the note. But you can't
- 5:05Speaker 2: stand there on the moral high ground and say those
- 5:08Speaker 2: people on the far right are just so filthy and
- 5:11Speaker 2: then endorse behavior like that? Can you? Eleven after five
- 5:14Speaker 2: News Talk.
- 5:15Speaker 1: SAB on your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition
- 5:20Speaker 1: with Ryan Bridge and are the Supercenter explore are these
- 5:24Speaker 1: accessories and servicing all than one?
- 5:27Speaker 2: News talks'd B five thirteen. Good morning, Paymark, and we're
- 5:30Speaker 2: wanting to know how many times we're swiping Worldline, which
- 5:33Speaker 2: is Paymark one of the Payment Processes says that consumer
- 5:36Speaker 2: spending was up for September one point one percent. This
- 5:40Speaker 2: is compared to September twenty four. But bad news is
- 5:45Speaker 2: when you look at places like Auckland and take into
- 5:47Speaker 2: account things like inflation, actually it was zero. Basically we
- 5:51Speaker 2: went nowhere in terms of spending. Wellington up zero point
- 5:54Speaker 2: one percent, christ which actually went backwards zero point five percent.
- 5:57Speaker 2: This is the kind of stuff the the NPC at
- 6:01Speaker 2: the MBNZ will be watching closely. Fourteen after five, Ryan
- 6:04Speaker 2: Bridge else New Zealand's ordering thousands more vapes to help
- 6:07Speaker 2: smokers quit. They say the pilot programs that they've already
- 6:11Speaker 2: done have helped more than four thousand. Kiwis ditched the
- 6:14Speaker 2: Durries in just six months. Doctor Buzz Burrow is GP
- 6:17Speaker 2: ALTERIRA cheer. Good morning, Buzz, Oh, good morning, Ryan. Good
- 6:22Speaker 2: to have you on the show. Is this a good thing?
- 6:23Speaker 2: I mean, and we're better off vaping than we are smoking,
- 6:26Speaker 2: that's what we're told.
- 6:27Speaker 3: Well, it's a good question, and your opening line is
- 6:30Speaker 3: not incorrect. We are better off vaping than smoking. However,
- 6:34Speaker 3: we're better off not doing anything than vaping. And I
- 6:36Speaker 3: think that's where GPR is disappointed. We believe that the
- 6:41Speaker 3: government and two and whoever's in between them almost misleading
- 6:45Speaker 3: the public on the apparent success of this initiative. It's
- 6:50Speaker 3: not as successful as it looks. It's almost like saying, look,
- 6:53Speaker 3: it's better to drive a little bit drunk than very drunk.
- 6:56Speaker 3: It's a step in the right direction, but it's certainly
- 7:00Speaker 3: not as good as that making it out to be.
- 7:03Speaker 3: It's just give you some idea of how we believe
- 7:05Speaker 3: it's been a mislead. I work at a South Aukland
- 7:08Speaker 3: general practice and only last week I saw a teenager
- 7:11Speaker 3: pick up one of the two leaflets saying babe, and
- 7:15Speaker 3: he said, look, Mama, I told you they're safe, and
- 7:18Speaker 3: that's the message getting across. They're not safe, and we
- 7:22Speaker 3: wish there was there's just a little bit more honesty
- 7:24Speaker 3: behind the data.
- 7:26Speaker 2: So you're just saying it's a branding thing. Really by
- 7:29Speaker 2: making it telling people it's the least bad the hearing
- 7:33Speaker 2: it's healthy.
- 7:34Speaker 3: Yeah, perfectly worded. And moreover, we're replacing one addiction with
- 7:38Speaker 3: another addiction, which is not safe. If you think about
- 7:42Speaker 3: the science, it is very clever. Whoever invented the idea
- 7:45Speaker 3: of inhaling a substance. Got it right. If you're addicted
- 7:49Speaker 3: to something, you swallow it, your brain gets it hit
- 7:51Speaker 3: in about twenty minutes. If you intravenously inject it, your
- 7:54Speaker 3: brain gets it hit in about sixty seconds. But if
- 7:57Speaker 3: you inhale it, your brain gets that hit in fifteen
- 7:59Speaker 3: twenty seconds. That cycle, that addictive cycle, I wanted. I
- 8:03Speaker 3: got it. That was great. There's no faster way of
- 8:05Speaker 3: rewarding that than inhaling something. So someone is using inhaling
- 8:09Speaker 3: tobacco and getting a hit, if we're giving them a vape,
- 8:12Speaker 3: they're going to get the.
- 8:13Speaker 2: Same Because what do they do then? What are they damned?
- 8:15Speaker 2: If they do? Damed if they don't. Do they just
- 8:17Speaker 2: not order these things? Or do they need to say here,
- 8:19Speaker 2: you know, put up a skull and crossbone on it.
- 8:23Speaker 3: In In fact, well look it up. Until about eighteen
- 8:25Speaker 3: months ago, that's what we had, and the entire medical
- 8:28Speaker 3: profession was a gas at this current government reversed the
- 8:31Speaker 3: smoking legislation and that was really everybody thought a step
- 8:36Speaker 3: in the completely wrong duration, which to see why it's
- 8:38Speaker 3: fiscally driven, but that actually is unhelpful in the long term.
- 8:42Speaker 3: So yeah, I think the answer is I'll be honest.
- 8:45Speaker 3: The eighty percent of people are still vaping when they've
- 8:48Speaker 3: officially quit twelve months later. The UK did a study
- 8:53Speaker 3: and worked out that two thirds of people who said
- 8:55Speaker 3: they'd quit by it into vaping, two thirds were still
- 8:58Speaker 3: vaping five years after they've given up. And this stuff
- 9:01Speaker 3: is not saved. There are lung conditions, the cudy of
- 9:05Speaker 3: ascent conditions. This is not a safe alternative from.
- 9:08Speaker 2: One bad thing to another. Doctor Buzz Burrow with us
- 9:11Speaker 2: this morning. It is five seventeen. News Talks be coming up. Next,
- 9:14Speaker 2: I'll tell you about the airports and why are the
- 9:15Speaker 2: Comcom's not going to be looking into them and giving
- 9:18Speaker 2: them a good spanking.
- 9:22Speaker 1: Views and views you trust to start your day in
- 9:25Speaker 1: early edition with Ryan Bridge and r V super Center
- 9:29Speaker 1: explore r these accessories and servicing Fall and One News.
- 9:33Speaker 2: Talks b five nineteen. So the Financial Markets Authority goes
- 9:36Speaker 2: after IAG insurance. Why because they overcharge us to the
- 9:39Speaker 2: tune of thirty five million dollars for fear dealing breaches. Okay,
- 9:43Speaker 2: fair enough, very good, but they overcharged thirty five million dollars.
- 9:48Speaker 2: The fine they were ordered to pay twenty million, so
- 9:51Speaker 2: they've actually made money out of this. How does that
- 9:53Speaker 2: make sense? Help me make that make sense? Sure, they
- 9:58Speaker 2: self reported the failures apparently, although they did it later
- 10:01Speaker 2: than they should have, they knew and sat on it
- 10:03Speaker 2: for a little while according to the evidence that was given,
- 10:07Speaker 2: and they are now doing everything they can to prevent
- 10:09Speaker 2: the issues from happening again. I G made north of
- 10:12Speaker 2: six hundred million dollar profit last year. This is seven
- 10:14Speaker 2: days worth of their trading twenty after five. Brian the
- 10:18Speaker 2: ComCom says it won't investigate sky high airport costs despite
- 10:22Speaker 2: pressure from airlines. Instead, it'll tighten rules next year to
- 10:25Speaker 2: better monitor big airport projects, and New Zealand, as you know,
- 10:28Speaker 2: has publicly had beef about this. They say fees of
- 10:31Speaker 2: more than doubled in two years in Auckland could cost
- 10:34Speaker 2: them half a billion bucks by twenty thirty two. Billy
- 10:37Speaker 2: Moore is New Zealand Airport's Association Chief executive. Billy, good morning,
- 10:41Speaker 2: good morning. So you're not off scot free here the airport.
- 10:45Speaker 2: So there is going to be a bit more monitoring,
- 10:46Speaker 2: a couple of changes made, but no investigation.
- 10:50Speaker 7: Yeah, that's right. It's not a it's a constructive outcome
- 10:54Speaker 7: to work on the information disclosure regime. But you know
- 10:57Speaker 7: it's it is all about balo from the system here
- 11:01Speaker 7: in New Zealand has made that claim, as you have said.
- 11:05Speaker 7: But while they say they might pay half a billion
- 11:08Speaker 7: dollars in fees, look in New Zealand, Auckland is their
- 11:11Speaker 7: biggest hubs. They're also are protected to make from that
- 11:14Speaker 7: six point five billion dollars by twenty thirty two. So
- 11:18Speaker 7: while it might be one of their biggest costs that
- 11:20Speaker 7: they're managing, it's also one of the places where they
- 11:23Speaker 7: make the most money.
- 11:24Speaker 2: Why are you charging so much? Is it just because
- 11:26Speaker 2: you're doing the upgrades and once that's done things were
- 11:28Speaker 2: back to normal or what.
- 11:31Speaker 7: Auckland Airport's fees are about where most international airport fees fits.
- 11:36Speaker 7: They're not particularly high. They've been up maybe a dollar
- 11:40Speaker 7: fifty a year over the past few years, and some
- 11:44Speaker 7: of it is about stabilizing fees after them being extremely
- 11:49Speaker 7: low for about at least a decade.
- 11:52Speaker 2: That's right, Why would they low for a decade?
- 11:56Speaker 7: Well, it's taken a long time for Auckland Airport to
- 11:59Speaker 7: get infrastructure build progressing and part of the reasons for
- 12:03Speaker 7: there has been resistance from the airlines over that time,
- 12:06Speaker 7: trying to delay the build and reduce it, which means
- 12:09Speaker 7: that the costs now will be a little bit steeper
- 12:12Speaker 7: than they otherwise would have been a progressiveing MyD earlier.
- 12:15Speaker 2: Appreciate your time, Billy Billy Moore, New Zealand Airports Association,
- 12:18Speaker 2: Chief Executive. Time is twenty two minutes after five. Quickly
- 12:23Speaker 2: update on the French situation for you. So this is Lecorno.
- 12:28Speaker 2: He's that what he's been for about a month, well
- 12:32Speaker 2: a couple of months, the Prime minister, but he's only
- 12:36Speaker 2: managed to cobble together a cabinet in the last twenty
- 12:39Speaker 2: four hours away he's already gone. So basically this makes
- 12:43Speaker 2: France ungovernable because they've now been through short distint for
- 12:49Speaker 2: a French Prime minister in modern history. For him, by
- 12:51Speaker 2: the way, you'll remember close ally of mccron. He's a
- 12:55Speaker 2: former Foreign minister. Fifth PM since Macron was re elected
- 12:58Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two, third since those Summer Olympic Games
- 13:01Speaker 2: snap election, remember when that all went down. They basically
- 13:04Speaker 2: bug it. They'll split a third to third to third.
- 13:06Speaker 2: You've got a third on the right, a third on
- 13:07Speaker 2: the left and a third in the middle, and they
- 13:09Speaker 2: can't agree on a budget. Can't agree on whether to
- 13:11Speaker 2: butter a croissant, these guys. And if you can't pass
- 13:15Speaker 2: a budget, which they need to because they got the
- 13:18Speaker 2: third highest debt in the EU, their debt to GDP
- 13:22Speaker 2: ratio is twice the supposed cap that the EU sets
- 13:26Speaker 2: of sixty percent. So Macron's got a couple of options.
- 13:30Speaker 2: I'll tell you what they are when we come back. Also,
- 13:33Speaker 2: just a note on not on councils per se, but
- 13:38Speaker 2: a new thing that's popped up to do with councils
- 13:41Speaker 2: that involves the rest of us.
- 13:42Speaker 1: That's next the early edition full show podcast on IR
- 13:46Speaker 1: Radio powered by Newstalks.
- 13:48Speaker 2: B five twenty five News Talks B. Just when you
- 13:51Speaker 2: thought local council couldn't get more absurd extravagant, they've dreamt
- 13:56Speaker 2: up a new way to not make decisions, to do
- 13:58Speaker 2: less with more citizens assemblies. Have you heard of these
- 14:02Speaker 2: crackpot idea the Romans once used. But Romans did lots
- 14:05Speaker 2: of weird stuff that we stopped doing, and this should
- 14:07Speaker 2: be one of them. They've got one on the boiler
- 14:09Speaker 2: and Huanganui. You might have heard of it in Napier
- 14:11Speaker 2: forty unelected locals have just finished sitting around talking about
- 14:15Speaker 2: where to put a new swimming pool and what that
- 14:17Speaker 2: pool might look like. Four weeks later, eight hundred dollars
- 14:21Speaker 2: per person, including refreshments and god knows what else one
- 14:25Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars in total from the rates take. It's
- 14:29Speaker 2: basically a catered chin wag between neighbors and they call
- 14:32Speaker 2: it an assembly. And guess what. They couldn't come up
- 14:35Speaker 2: with a consensus on where to put the pool. Despite
- 14:39Speaker 2: all the expertise, the opinions for Africa, the specialists, the lamingtons,
- 14:43Speaker 2: no location was decided. You cannot make the stuff up.
- 14:46Speaker 2: Why bother with a council, why bother with a mayor,
- 14:48Speaker 2: why bother with a government? Like Keffer's d day sets
- 14:52Speaker 2: and recycled period cups. These citizens assemblies are very much
- 14:55Speaker 2: in vogue with the radical left across Europe right now,
- 14:58Speaker 2: but they are also a massive waste of time and money.
- 15:01Speaker 2: And the more I read about stuff like this, the
- 15:03Speaker 2: more I think we'd be better off dispensing with democracy
- 15:06Speaker 2: and bringing in a dictator. The Napier mayor Kirsten Wise,
- 15:10Speaker 2: was quoted as saying the assembly's recommendations were an invaluable
- 15:15Speaker 2: starting point in the journey towards a new pool. Give
- 15:19Speaker 2: me strength, an invaluable starting point for a new swimming
- 15:24Speaker 2: pool as a hole in the ground. Bryan Bridge, twenty seven,
- 15:29Speaker 2: after five news talks, he'd been nine two nineties and
- 15:31Speaker 2: under text. Now Australia's signed this, and we've been hearing
- 15:34Speaker 2: about this for a little while. We've heard murmurs about
- 15:37Speaker 2: what might be involved. Now we've got the hard text
- 15:40Speaker 2: of the treaty between Papua New Guinea and Australia. An
- 15:44Speaker 2: armed attack on one nation listening China, listening Beijing, an
- 15:48Speaker 2: armed attack on one nation presents a threat to both
- 15:52Speaker 2: and action would be taken in that if that was
- 15:57Speaker 2: to be the case, similar to the wording of the
- 16:00Speaker 2: American Australian Defense Pack. So basically they are defense allies
- 16:05Speaker 2: at this point. And Australia will also get access to
- 16:08Speaker 2: Papua New Guinea's military facilities and its troops, and ten
- 16:13Speaker 2: thousand Papua New Guineans will serve in Australia's military. This
- 16:18Speaker 2: is what the p png PM had to say about,
- 16:21Speaker 2: you know, the China question.
- 16:23Speaker 10: We've been transparent, We have told him that Australia has
- 16:29Speaker 10: become my secretty partner of toys and they understand our
- 16:32Speaker 10: alliance this year.
- 16:34Speaker 2: So we will talk to Donna Demayo about that. She's
- 16:36Speaker 2: on our show afternows at five point thirty.
- 16:39Speaker 7: Rayan Bridge back to.
- 16:41Speaker 2: The French just for a second, Alcorno, So what do
- 16:44Speaker 2: you do because this is less than a month from
- 16:46Speaker 2: the job you know ours after a year point announces
- 16:49Speaker 2: his cabinet and it's gone another one by it's the dust.
- 16:53Speaker 2: What do you do, Macron? Because you've got a split
- 16:57Speaker 2: of your parliaments split a third or third or third.
- 17:00Speaker 2: He has three options either this is Macron. Either he
- 17:03Speaker 2: resigns and appoints another Prime minister and probably be in
- 17:06Speaker 2: the same position again in a week or two time.
- 17:09Speaker 2: You could dissolve parliament go back to the polls. However,
- 17:13Speaker 2: you would then end up in the same situation again
- 17:15Speaker 2: because they reckon they would just vote the same way.
- 17:18Speaker 2: So basically this morning, for not the first time in
- 17:24Speaker 2: a long time, France is completely ungovernable news Talk said
- 17:28Speaker 2: be Money Duma last.

- 18:13Speaker 2: been about this payment. So in total, Adrianaw's remuneration for
- 18:18Speaker 2: the July first, twenty twenty four to March thirty first,
- 18:21Speaker 2: twenty twenty five period is one point one eight two
- 18:24Speaker 2: million dollars. That includes four hundred and sixteen thousand restrained
- 18:28Speaker 2: trade payment That has irked a lot of people. But
- 18:31Speaker 2: did you know the staff expenses at the Reserve Bank
- 18:33Speaker 2: are up twenty four percent in the year to June.
- 18:36Speaker 2: This is according to their annual report, twenty four percent
- 18:39Speaker 2: six hundred and twenty five point one full time equivalent
- 18:42Speaker 2: positions versus six hundred and one in the prior year.
- 18:47Speaker 2: So what's going on here? I don't know, but I
- 18:49Speaker 2: can tell you. And this was the big debate between
- 18:52Speaker 2: Or and the government was how much do you actually spend?
- 18:55Speaker 2: I can tell you that I had a look this
- 18:57Speaker 2: morning at Risbank. This is sweden Central Bank. We're about
- 19:01Speaker 2: to get our new Swede commander. They have five hundred
- 19:06Speaker 2: and ninety employees, so they have fewer employees at the
- 19:10Speaker 2: Swedish Central Bank than we have at ours in New Zealand.
- 19:15Speaker 2: There GDP five hundred and ninety billion US dollars a
- 19:19Speaker 2: year ours two hundred and sixty, so they have fewer
- 19:22Speaker 2: employees at their central bank and twice the output as
- 19:27Speaker 2: an economy. So hopefully this Swede will come in and
- 19:29Speaker 2: do the opposite of Swedish. Rounding us down twenty two
- 19:33Speaker 2: away from six Ryan Bridge, our reporters come into need
- 19:36Speaker 2: and color good morning morning, right Otago Polytech is pausing
- 19:41Speaker 2: its charity house initiative. What's that? Yeah, but the sign
- 19:45Speaker 2: of the times?
- 19:46Speaker 11: This one this was set up almost two decades ago,
- 19:48Speaker 11: a house built by trade students here and it's sold
- 19:52Speaker 11: at auction to the general public. So far, more than
- 19:54Speaker 11: one point seven million dollars in profit from the sale
- 19:57Speaker 11: of the charity house has been donated to local charities
- 20:01Speaker 11: through the project. But sadly the politics says the rising
- 20:04Speaker 11: costs of materials has now made this initiative financially unsustainable.
- 20:09Speaker 11: It's not even breaking even on the builds, so it's
- 20:11Speaker 11: off and out, it says. The trades teams will explore
- 20:14Speaker 11: other opportunities for students to help the community. All right,
- 20:16Speaker 11: how's your weare the callum mainly fine charts for a
- 20:19Speaker 11: shower this afternoon, westerly strong for a time and fourteen today.
- 20:23Speaker 2: Thank you Claire and christ Church morning, Claire, good morning.
- 20:26Speaker 2: What's going on this? Christ Church Maldi Immersion School getting
- 20:28Speaker 2: a new home?
- 20:29Speaker 12: Yeah, this is after a sixteen year battle with the
- 20:31Speaker 12: Ministry of Education. The school is called Tefano Tahi. It's
- 20:36Speaker 12: built on a site at Lyttleton Street that was a
- 20:38Speaker 12: former landfill. Teachers have reported leaky and maldi classrooms. The
- 20:43Speaker 12: school ranked low on the rebuild list after the earthquakes,
- 20:46Speaker 12: though a twenty twenty agreement to rebuild it was later scrapped.
- 20:50Speaker 12: The Kodako Pappa will now be shifting to the site
- 20:53Speaker 12: of the old Seven Oaks School in Harswille. The Ministry
- 20:56Speaker 12: says it's safer and more suitable there and who supports
- 21:00Speaker 12: the educational and cultural needs of the schools. A timeline
- 21:03Speaker 12: though for the move is yet to be confirmed.
- 21:05Speaker 2: All right, how's you Webb?
- 21:06Speaker 12: Mainly fine, There is a few showers about today. Southwesterly
- 21:09Speaker 12: is turning north easterly and the high will be fifteen.
- 21:12Speaker 2: Maxim Wellington Hamax, Good morning. Now you've got the Candala
- 21:15Speaker 2: murderer to appeal.
- 21:17Speaker 4: Yeah, this is Julia Delooney, the Candala daughter who was
- 21:21Speaker 4: convicted earlier this year of fatally bludgeoning her elderly mother,
- 21:25Speaker 4: Helen Gregory, at the latter's suburban home.
- 21:28Speaker 2: Deluoney had money.
- 21:29Speaker 4: Issues that had lost a lot of it investing in crypto.
- 21:31Speaker 4: Possibly was stealing from Gregory as well, we learned in
- 21:34Speaker 4: the trial, possibly wanted more money. The Post report She's
- 21:37Speaker 4: now lodged an appeal against her conviction and sentence. She's
- 21:41Speaker 4: hiring high profile lawyer Kerry Cook. Cook, you might recall,
- 21:45Speaker 4: has represented Scott Watson. She represented the gang member accused
- 21:49Speaker 4: of murdering Mellory Manning in christ Church. We had a
- 21:51Speaker 4: four week trial this year, dozens of witnesses, a fifty
- 21:54Speaker 4: four year old Deloney unsuccessfully arguing that someone else had
- 21:58Speaker 4: shown up at the house in this ninety minute window
- 22:01Speaker 4: when she wasn't there between her visiting mistaken identity, she argued,
- 22:06Speaker 4: the only thing working in her favor, but perhaps was
- 22:08Speaker 4: a lack of clear motive. Money was what the crown,
- 22:11Speaker 4: I argued clearly a refusal to accept her fate being
- 22:15Speaker 4: life imprisonment with a minimum eighteen years.
- 22:17Speaker 2: All right, Max, how's your weather?
- 22:19Speaker 4: She'll be fine this morning and then wet this afternoon,
- 22:22Speaker 4: strong winds sixteen the hay I didn't thank you.
- 22:24Speaker 2: Need it was an Aukland ne a, good morning, Good morning.
- 22:26Speaker 2: So we've got a lot of back and forth over
- 22:29Speaker 2: Garza and et cetera. But someone's thrown something into a
- 22:32Speaker 2: window at Winston Paiter's personal home.
- 22:35Speaker 8: Yes, that's right, is Auckland House. So police they were
- 22:38Speaker 8: called to the address yesterday. Now the offender left the
- 22:42Speaker 8: scene wasn't able to be located, but in a social
- 22:46Speaker 8: media post Winston said, look, it's truly gut liss. He's
- 22:49Speaker 8: quite right. Glass apparently was shedded all over his dog
- 22:53Speaker 8: and there was a sign left on the front door.
- 22:55Speaker 8: Don't know what the sign said, but anyway, yeah I know.
- 22:59Speaker 8: But Christoph Luxen and obviously labor leader Chris Hipkins have
- 23:02Speaker 8: both come out that condemned the attack. And of course
- 23:05Speaker 8: this follows those protests outside Peter's home that was in
- 23:08Speaker 8: support of those on board the gars of flotilla. So
- 23:11Speaker 8: he had protests. You know, I was over the weekend
- 23:14Speaker 8: and then this incident happened.
- 23:15Speaker 2: But yeah, we had Chloe condemning any of this year.
- 23:18Speaker 2: That's the question, isn't it.
- 23:20Speaker 1: That's the question.
- 23:21Speaker 2: Yes, Normally I don't talk about It's like fight club.
- 23:23Speaker 2: I don't talk about what's on my other show this
- 23:25Speaker 2: morning while I'm on this show. But that we're starting
- 23:27Speaker 2: with Winston Peters and Chloe will follow him at seven
- 23:30Speaker 2: o'clock this morning.
- 23:31Speaker 8: Oh that'll be good.
- 23:32Speaker 2: That's on here all now. But yeah, very interesting to
- 23:34Speaker 2: see what happens, because there was also the woman who
- 23:37Speaker 2: was outside Winston's house who they then put in their
- 23:40Speaker 2: press conference yesterday outside his house telling of runners a
- 23:42Speaker 2: dress in this day and age. That's just stupid.
- 23:47Speaker 8: It is stupid, isn't it quite right?
- 23:48Speaker 2: How's our weather?
- 23:49Speaker 8: Okay, we've got morning rain, could be heavy, otherwise isolated
- 23:53Speaker 8: showers later today and that will clear this evening. Still,
- 23:57Speaker 8: those strong winds though eighteen is a high here and
- 23:59Speaker 8: all clipt.
- 23:59Speaker 2: Brilliant thank you very much for that. It is Tuesday morning.
- 24:02Speaker 2: You're on news Talks B eighteen to six. If you
- 24:05Speaker 2: run a small business, and I know many of you do,
- 24:07Speaker 2: you know how annoying it is waiting to get paid.
- 24:09Speaker 2: You finish the job, you send the invoice, and then
- 24:11Speaker 2: you spend weeks chasing up people like some sort of
- 24:13Speaker 2: debt collective. Will Zero's tapped pay power by Stripe changes
- 24:16Speaker 2: all of this. Your customer taps their card on your phone. Boom,
- 24:20Speaker 2: You're paid on the spot. No fancy payment terminal needed,
- 24:24Speaker 2: just the Zero accounting app. And here's the really smart bit.
- 24:27Speaker 2: Once the payment goes through, the invoices automatically marks paid
- 24:30Speaker 2: and zero ready to be reconciled. That's less admin less
- 24:33Speaker 2: mucking around with the paperwork, more time running your actual business,
- 24:37Speaker 2: which is what you love doing. It's secure, it's instant,
- 24:39Speaker 2: keeps your cash flow moving instead of grinding to a
- 24:42Speaker 2: holt every month. Accept payments on the spot as soon
- 24:45Speaker 2: as the job's complete. No more awkward conversations about getting
- 24:48Speaker 2: that invoice to you later on. For small businesses, this
- 24:51Speaker 2: could genuinely be a game changer. Less time chasing late payments,
- 24:55Speaker 2: more time focusing on what you do best. Supercharge your
- 24:59Speaker 2: business with zero tap to pay getting paid. Just got
- 25:01Speaker 2: a whole lot easier search, zero tap.
- 25:04Speaker 1: To pay, International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace
- 25:09Speaker 1: of mind for New Zealand business.
- 25:11Speaker 2: We'll get to David Seymour's truancy campaign and a second
- 25:14Speaker 2: person into my own Australia on a good morning, Good
- 25:16Speaker 2: morning to you. Tell us about this defense treaty with PMNG.
- 25:20Speaker 6: Well, it is a landmark mutual defense pact and it
- 25:24Speaker 6: could see troops deployed to PNG if it is attacked.
- 25:27Speaker 6: And we know that Anthony Albinezi, our Prime Minister, and
- 25:30Speaker 6: his Papua New Guinean counterpart, James Murrupi linked this landmark
- 25:35Speaker 6: packed in Canberra and they say that well, we heard
- 25:39Speaker 6: from both of them, of course. He said that it
- 25:43Speaker 6: was committing Australia to securing and shaping our future together.
- 25:47Speaker 6: The treaty elevates the relationship between the two nations to
- 25:50Speaker 6: the status of an alliance and it's the first such
- 25:54Speaker 6: agreement in more than seventy years and as we know,
- 25:57Speaker 6: only the third in Australia's history. The PM says it's
- 26:01Speaker 6: a great honor that our nearest neighbor is our newest
- 26:03Speaker 6: ally and of course mister Mrapi also echoed that sentiment. Interestingly,
- 26:09Speaker 6: there were a few extra words from the PM. Both
- 26:11Speaker 6: the nations have also agreed not to undertake any activities
- 26:14Speaker 6: or enter into any agreements that would compromise the implementation
- 26:19Speaker 6: of this treaty. Do you think that's a thinly veiled
- 26:21Speaker 6: nod too, referencing maybe China?
- 26:23Speaker 1: I'm not sure.
- 26:24Speaker 2: Possibly, Hey, very quickly, who's appealing against the sentence for
- 26:29Speaker 2: the mushroom killer? M okay?
- 26:32Speaker 6: Prosecutors have today, oh sorry, yesterday lodged an appeal against
- 26:36Speaker 6: Aaron Patterson's sentence. Now we know she was sentenced to
- 26:38Speaker 6: life in prison with a non parole period of thirty
- 26:41Speaker 6: three years for killing three relatives with beef wellington laced
- 26:45Speaker 6: with death cap mushrooms, and there was the attempted murder
- 26:48Speaker 6: charge for a fourth and she was also found guilty there.
- 26:50Speaker 6: So last week Pattison's legal team announced it would appeal
- 26:54Speaker 6: her conviction. Now the grounds for that appeal have not
- 26:57Speaker 6: been outlined as yet, But then we heard from prosecutors
- 27:00Speaker 6: and they've lodged their appeal. It's been filed on the
- 27:03Speaker 6: basis that the sentence is considered manifestly inadequate by the prosecutor.
- 27:08Speaker 6: Prosecutors now we know that she was spared the harshest penalty,
- 27:10Speaker 6: which is life sentence, no parole. But as it stands,
- 27:14Speaker 6: she could be freed by twenty fifty six, when she'll
- 27:17Speaker 6: be eighty two years old.
- 27:18Speaker 2: And I thank you done to my are Australia correspondent,
- 27:21Speaker 2: twelve minutes away from six Bryan Bridge, your on News
- 27:24Speaker 2: Talk said, be David Seymour's school attendance cracked down continues.
- 27:27Speaker 2: So he's scrapped the old contracts that they were operating
- 27:30Speaker 2: under and set tougher attendance targets one hundred and twenty
- 27:33Speaker 2: three million dollars extra over four years. Eighty three new
- 27:36Speaker 2: deals one hundred and seventy schools that get extra help
- 27:38Speaker 2: the chronic absentees. Three percent of funding will go to
- 27:42Speaker 2: basics like uniforms, devices, transport for kids who can't afford them.
- 27:46Speaker 2: Kathy Charmers is Green Meadows Intermediate Principle lead principle of
- 27:50Speaker 2: the Monday How Attendance Service with me now, Kathy, good morning,
- 27:53Speaker 2: good morning, So what's happened with your contract under this.
- 27:58Speaker 9: Yes, so we've won a contract for Alphaston Tucknay catchment,
- 28:04Speaker 9: so we only applied for that part of Manuoa. So
- 28:09Speaker 9: that's the area that we'll be served. Yeah, so it's
- 28:13Speaker 9: a it's a good contract.
- 28:14Speaker 2: These are the way that he's designed it, doing things
- 28:18Speaker 2: like instead of getting money based on how many students
- 28:20Speaker 2: you've got, but based on how many students you've got absent.
- 28:23Speaker 2: Are these smart things? Will these make a difference?
- 28:26Speaker 9: I believe they will. I think that's a much fairer
- 28:29Speaker 9: way of distributing the resourcing. Our number of attendant services
- 28:35Speaker 9: that we will be able to get in our areas doubled.
- 28:39Speaker 9: Having said that, we also have taken on the non
- 28:41Speaker 9: enrolled contract as well, so that you know the number
- 28:46Speaker 9: of cases will be increasing as well and be a
- 28:49Speaker 9: little bit more complex.
- 28:50Speaker 2: We know that by twenty thirty the goal is eighty
- 28:52Speaker 2: percent of students attending school more than ninety percent of
- 28:55Speaker 2: the time. What's your area at the moment? What are
- 28:58Speaker 2: where are you at? And do you think you can
- 28:59Speaker 2: get there?
- 29:02Speaker 9: My school at the moments floats around sixty percent. I'd
- 29:07Speaker 9: like to think that we could get there, but it's
- 29:10Speaker 9: a pretty it's a pretty aspirational target to reach two aspects.
- 29:16Speaker 9: For that four days off in the winter turn when
- 29:19Speaker 9: it's you know, there's a lot of illness going around
- 29:22Speaker 9: in our area. That's a tricky one to meet the
- 29:26Speaker 9: ninety percent target. But also the chronic absences in our
- 29:30Speaker 9: area are usually at the root of them are really
- 29:35Speaker 9: really complex situations, and that's going to to be honest.
- 29:40Speaker 9: I think that also needs wrap around from other services,
- 29:44Speaker 9: not just the attendancy of this to make.
- 29:46Speaker 2: That target, because those I didn't realize this three percent
- 29:50Speaker 2: of a school's allocation can be spent on stuff like
- 29:53Speaker 2: uniforms or transport. You know that if there are if
- 29:56Speaker 2: there are economic reasons of kids not attending school, we
- 29:59Speaker 2: can actually fix that.
- 30:02Speaker 9: You can fix it short term, but you're not going
- 30:05Speaker 9: to be able to continue that funding long term. So
- 30:09Speaker 9: that would be where you would have to have another
- 30:11Speaker 9: avenue or hope that the parents would you know, it's
- 30:15Speaker 9: a kick start, I mean, certainly, I think that's a
- 30:19Speaker 9: really excellent part of the contract that we've got the
- 30:21Speaker 9: flexibility to do that, but there will be.
- 30:26Speaker 4: You know, there's.
- 30:26Speaker 9: Downsides to that as well, because what happens once that
- 30:30Speaker 9: funding for that child stops we can't continue to pay
- 30:34Speaker 9: that parents for the rest of their full time. So
- 30:37Speaker 9: one hopes that they get back to school and back
- 30:39Speaker 9: into a pattern of attendance, is what the hope is.
- 30:43Speaker 2: Kathy Chamers a charmer's forgiven me. Very great to have
- 30:46Speaker 2: you on the program. That's Green Meadows intermediate principle and
- 30:48Speaker 2: lead principle of the Monyado Attendance Service. It is eight
- 30:51Speaker 2: minutes away from six News Talk set big the news.
- 30:55Speaker 1: You need this morning and the in depth analysis earlier
- 30:58Speaker 1: edition with Ryan bred Are the supersetor explore? Are these
- 31:03Speaker 1: accessories and servicing all in one news talks?
- 31:05Speaker 2: They'd be fix to six News Talks. They'd be great
- 31:07Speaker 2: to have your company. The Hero's got an interesting one today.
- 31:09Speaker 2: It's about an old, beautiful building on the corner in
- 31:14Speaker 2: Mount Eden, and it's a debate about how high the
- 31:17Speaker 2: hedge can be because the locals who live in there,
- 31:20Speaker 2: the people who own the apartments, want privacy, so they
- 31:23Speaker 2: want a high hedge. But the people who walk past
- 31:25Speaker 2: want to see more of the beautiful building, so they
- 31:28Speaker 2: are now going to the dispute trophy you trying to
- 31:30Speaker 2: sort this out. Mike's in the studio, Good morning, Mike.
- 31:32Speaker 13: It's the Body Corporate and that story, that story just
- 31:36Speaker 13: reminds me of everything that's wrong with this country. It's
- 31:39Speaker 13: bored people who've got nothing better to do.
- 31:42Speaker 2: It don't if you don't own the building, you don't know,
- 31:45Speaker 2: you don't have a right none, look, no, no, no,
- 31:47Speaker 2: it's no.
- 31:48Speaker 13: The story is about the corporate, the Body Corporate. So
- 31:50Speaker 13: the Body Corporate when they got consent, has the line
- 31:54Speaker 13: at zero point eight, so it it can't be any
- 31:56Speaker 13: more than eighty centimeters. So they're arguing, well, according to
- 31:59Speaker 13: the conceit, we've got to keep it at point eight.
- 32:01Speaker 13: She wants it, the owner of the ground floor apartment
- 32:03Speaker 13: wants it for privacy. Others want it slashed down. So
- 32:07Speaker 13: it's Mechaylia too. It's a nice it's a nice hedge,
- 32:09Speaker 13: the old mechaalea hedge.
- 32:10Speaker 2: It's a nice hedge. It's a nice building.
- 32:12Speaker 13: Having been in apartments and body corporates, I can tell you.
- 32:15Speaker 2: I mean nightmare, shoot me now. But it's like, you know,
- 32:18Speaker 2: just in suburbs around Auckland, where they say the council
- 32:20Speaker 2: says you can't have a high fence because it just
- 32:24Speaker 2: doesn't just a street look pretty and it's like, well,
- 32:26Speaker 2: maybe if there wasn't so much crime, I wouldn't need
- 32:28Speaker 2: a high fence.
- 32:28Speaker 13: Well, you go to a lot of towns round New Zealand,
- 32:30Speaker 13: fencing is not as fencing is an urban thing and
- 32:34Speaker 13: your walls are an urban thing. You know, there's an
- 32:36Speaker 13: industry in walls and security gates and cameras and all
- 32:38Speaker 13: that sort of stuff. You go to a lot of
- 32:39Speaker 13: provincial New Zealand you can still do like in the
- 32:42Speaker 13: house I grew up, your lorn ends at the footpath
- 32:45Speaker 13: and people can just wander and wouldn't that be a
- 32:47Speaker 13: nice way to live?
- 32:48Speaker 2: But it's not. Who probably wants a big wall around
- 32:50Speaker 2: his head and he.
- 32:52Speaker 13: Has he hasn't got one, and that's that's his problem.
- 32:54Speaker 13: He's got an unfortunate house. It's a pretty house, but
- 32:57Speaker 13: it's an unfortunate house because it's because it's an old
- 32:59Speaker 13: house and in the suburbans and it's right literally.
- 33:02Speaker 2: On the street, and you can't get big fences because
- 33:05Speaker 2: it's a character area exactly. They won't let you.
- 33:08Speaker 13: And so this is one of these things. We'll talk
- 33:10Speaker 13: to Grahame Michelor about it this morning. There's one of
- 33:12Speaker 13: those things where you can't do much about the law
- 33:14Speaker 13: unless you do a king hit type thing. You know
- 33:15Speaker 13: how they've done king hits. It's a separate charge or crime,
- 33:20Speaker 13: so it's actually hit, but they've delineated that aggravating and
- 33:24Speaker 13: I just because I mean that the damage you're doing
- 33:26Speaker 13: to a person's privacy and property vastly outweighs the crime
- 33:30Speaker 13: itself per se total. So therefore the police are going
- 33:33Speaker 13: to be going, well, look, I'm wasting the time because
- 33:34Speaker 13: this will never end up in court. So maybe you
- 33:36Speaker 13: need to look at something specific, which is, you know,
- 33:38Speaker 13: if you single out a public official and damage their property,
- 33:41Speaker 13: you get from stuck in jail for twenty seven years
- 33:45Speaker 13: and get tased.
- 33:46Speaker 2: And I'd be all behind that the whole time. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 33:50Speaker 2: every year tase it exactly. Don't know when it's going
- 33:53Speaker 2: to come er, so I see surprise tasering have a
- 33:56Speaker 2: great day of run Stamo.
