0:09
Speaker 2: News Talk sat'd be good.
0:10
Speaker 3: Morning, Welcome to Thursday. Shoes all go this morning. We've
0:13
Speaker 3: got a rate cut expected from the Fed in about
0:15
Speaker 3: an hour's time plus it's GDP day here. Youth crime
0:18
Speaker 3: is down, So where are all the positive media stories
0:21
Speaker 3: about that one? We're live to the US. Good news
0:24
Speaker 3: for Wellington and has a New Zealand's Hamilton christ Church
0:27
Speaker 3: announcement got anything to do potentially just throwing it out
0:31
Speaker 3: there with Jetstar's announcement on the same route nine days ago.
0:37
Speaker 1: The agenda.
0:40
Speaker 3: It is Thursday. I think that September Britain's done what
0:43
Speaker 3: it does best for Trump's big military inspection at Windsor Castle,
0:46
Speaker 3: pump ceremony, cloud wind and rain and throughout that Trump's
1:06
Speaker 3: before was blowing in the wind in London, the anti
1:09
Speaker 3: Trump mob out in force.
1:11
Speaker 4: This is very important moment for me, for the world
1:13
Speaker 4: that we recognize that this manager is not helping the
1:16
Speaker 4: future of our climate and our country and our children.
1:20
Speaker 3: The main suspect in the medal of McCann cases of
1:23
Speaker 3: the German guy, Christian Bruckner. He's been released from prison.
1:26
Speaker 3: They worried it was going to happen. When it's happened.
1:28
Speaker 3: He'd been serving seven years for raping a seventy two
1:31
Speaker 3: year old woman in Portugal, which is where Madeline disappeared.
1:34
Speaker 5: Prosecutors say they believe he is the chief suspect. They
1:38
Speaker 5: say they have evidence to link him to the death
1:42
Speaker 5: and disappearance of Madeline McCann, but they say those are
1:45
Speaker 5: not strong enough for them to issue an arrest warrant.
1:50
Speaker 3: Tyler Robinson the guy accused of killing Charlie Kirk. He's
1:52
Speaker 3: fronted in court and texts from his roommates slash partner
1:57
Speaker 3: claim he left a confession under the keyboard. Now this
2:00
Speaker 3: is the death penalty.
2:01
Speaker 6: I do not take this decision lately, and it is
2:04
Speaker 6: a decision I have made independently as County Attorney, based
2:10
Speaker 6: solely on the available evidence and circumstances and nature of
2:15
Speaker 6: the crime.
2:16
Speaker 2: Views and views you trust. To start your day, It's
2:20
Speaker 2: early edition with Bryan Bridge and one roof Love.
2:23
Speaker 1: Where you Live. News talks had been.
2:26
Speaker 3: Nine the numbers text has gone eight minutes after five
2:28
Speaker 3: grade to have your company on a Thursday morning, We'll
2:30
Speaker 3: talk to Mike Jones from the BNZ on that GDP
2:33
Speaker 3: number coming out at ten forty five this morning. We'll
2:35
Speaker 3: do that just before six. The Fed expected to cut,
2:38
Speaker 3: as we've been talking about for the last couple of weeks,
2:40
Speaker 3: a quarter of a percent. Today, focus, of course, will
2:43
Speaker 3: be on the commentary from Drome Power after that. You know,
2:46
Speaker 3: how many more cuts are you expecting? Jobs have been
2:49
Speaker 3: softening there, obviously, infatians still running outside the band their
2:54
Speaker 3: target band. So for you to cut even though you're
2:59
Speaker 3: technically not doing your job and controlling inflation, then you
3:02
Speaker 3: asked the question, well, is it the jobs that they're
3:05
Speaker 3: really worried about or is it the pressure from the
3:08
Speaker 3: White House that they are taking into consideration? Is it both?
3:11
Speaker 3: Who knows? But we'll see more today and hear from
3:14
Speaker 3: Jerome Powell also today. Well, overnight we have had the
3:18
Speaker 3: Bank of Canada cut twenty five basis points there. They
3:22
Speaker 3: went backwards last quarter and this is the trade war.
3:26
Speaker 3: Of course, unemployment is up there, so they have cut.
3:28
Speaker 3: Tomorrow we'll get the Bank of England. They are expected
3:31
Speaker 3: to hold steady at four percent. They lowered last time
3:35
Speaker 3: as we reported. Now you know yesterday you might have
3:38
Speaker 3: heard the he threw a bit of a wobbly to
3:40
Speaker 3: Donald Trump, that Ossie reporter from the ABC. This is
3:43
Speaker 3: before he left for the UK. Don't ask the guy
3:46
Speaker 3: how rich he is.
3:48
Speaker 1: Where are you from? I'm from here, sny a world.
3:50
Speaker 7: Gardon if you're heading right, rare?
3:55
Speaker 1: You are rare.
3:56
Speaker 3: You're very much y down and they're wont again along
3:59
Speaker 3: with the yeah, your leader, who's coming over? I've got
4:04
Speaker 3: a doll about you all because you ask how much
4:07
Speaker 3: you're worth, what your net worth is, how much richer
4:10
Speaker 3: you are after becoming president for the second time. For
4:13
Speaker 3: someone who loves talking about his net worth, jeez, only
4:15
Speaker 3: on his terms anyway. There was a CBS report from
4:18
Speaker 3: May that estimated that his net worth is up some
4:22
Speaker 3: five billion New Zealand dollars since taking office. This is
4:26
Speaker 3: all done to meme coins and crypto stuff, largely down
4:29
Speaker 3: to me coins and crypto stuff like that. Usually you
4:32
Speaker 3: cash in quite big once you leave office as well.
4:35
Speaker 3: Obama he used to get hundreds of thousands of dollars
4:38
Speaker 3: rumor was almost half a million bucks back in the
4:41
Speaker 3: day on the speaking circuit. It might be more than
4:43
Speaker 3: that now. Biden, though not so much nobody's hiring him,
4:47
Speaker 3: apparently for speaking gigs not popular in democratic circles. There's
4:51
Speaker 3: his age. Of course, Karmela had a crack the other
4:54
Speaker 3: day in her book about his ego. And you do
4:57
Speaker 3: have to wonder, don't you, what sort of speech you'd
4:58
Speaker 3: give anyway?
5:00
Speaker 5: America is a nation that can be defined in a
5:02
Speaker 5: single word.
5:03
Speaker 1: O what would that be?
5:04
Speaker 8: I was a foot him assume the foothills of the
5:08
Speaker 8: Himalayas with Shijing pang.
5:10
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, that's good to know.
5:13
Speaker 3: Time now is eleven after five, Ryan Bred to willow
5:17
Speaker 3: Gen Prime. She's gonna well, I'm interested to see what
5:20
Speaker 3: willow Gen Prime has to say about the fact that
5:23
Speaker 3: youth crime According to Karen Shaw, who sees the latest stats,
5:26
Speaker 3: so youth crime is dropping in some regions, regions you
5:29
Speaker 3: would worry about quite significantly. So how will Labor respond
5:33
Speaker 3: to that.
5:34
Speaker 2: She's next the News you Need this morning and the
5:37
Speaker 2: in depth analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and one
5:41
Speaker 2: Root Love where you Live news talks.
5:44
Speaker 1: That'd be good news for you.
5:45
Speaker 3: Wellington will get to that shortly five fourteen. Right now,
5:47
Speaker 3: the government's panning itself on the back for the new
5:49
Speaker 3: youth crime data. Serious offending down fourteen percent in two years.
5:53
Speaker 3: Northland down forty percent, Tasman thirty six percent, Wellington twenty
5:58
Speaker 3: eight percent, in Auckland down fourteen percent. Ram raids almost nonexistent.
6:03
Speaker 3: Karen Shaw says kids no longer reckon, they're above the law.
6:06
Speaker 3: Willo Jene Primers, Labour's Children spokesperson, good morning, good morning,
6:12
Speaker 3: Good to have you on the show. Is this something
6:14
Speaker 3: to celebrate?
6:16
Speaker 10: Oh, it is definitely something to celebrate when we are
6:19
Speaker 10: seeing less young people offending. But what I thought was
6:23
Speaker 10: remarkable was that the government is claiming that this is
6:27
Speaker 10: all down to things that they have done.
6:31
Speaker 1: Is it not?
6:33
Speaker 10: No, it's not because if you look at what they
6:36
Speaker 10: are celebrating, they are basically saying that it is because
6:40
Speaker 10: of programs like their boot camps, which we know have
6:43
Speaker 10: been an abject failure with seven out of the nine
6:46
Speaker 10: young people reoffending. What they really need to let New
6:51
Speaker 10: Zealanders know is they have carried on programs that we
6:54
Speaker 10: started under labor, which was the circuit Breaker program. It
6:58
Speaker 10: had an over seventy five percent success rate. They have
7:01
Speaker 10: continued to fund that and they have expanded it. So
7:04
Speaker 10: what their pr doesn't say is actually it was things
7:07
Speaker 10: that Labor had introduced that is contributing to this reduction
7:11
Speaker 10: in youth offending.
7:12
Speaker 3: Does it matter where an idea came from. If I've
7:14
Speaker 3: continued funding it, that's not a success.
7:18
Speaker 10: Well, I just think it would help if they were
7:20
Speaker 10: more honest with New Zealanders and actually told them that
7:24
Speaker 10: this is something that Labor had started, that they could
7:26
Speaker 10: see the benefit, and that they had decided to continue
7:29
Speaker 10: and to expand. But instead they are claiming that this
7:32
Speaker 10: is a success because of things like their failed boot
7:35
Speaker 10: camp experiment, which like I said, had seven out of
7:38
Speaker 10: nine of the young people reoffend, and they are continuing
7:41
Speaker 10: to fund significantly millions of dollars and entrenching it into
7:45
Speaker 10: legislation when they know it doesn't what they does.
7:48
Speaker 3: Labor believe that in the idea of deterrent, that you know,
7:53
Speaker 3: the tough talk on crime, the penalties for serious recidivist offending,
8:00
Speaker 3: and the threat of a boot camp, that that actually
8:02
Speaker 3: can act as a deterrent to young people, that young
8:05
Speaker 3: people are smart enough to work out that this government
8:09
Speaker 3: won't let them take the mickey.
8:12
Speaker 10: I think we haven't seen any evidence that suggests that
8:15
Speaker 10: that actually is a significant contributor to it. What we
8:19
Speaker 10: know and what they are funding are programs like Circuit Breaker,
8:23
Speaker 10: which they have extended, which is an intensive wrap around
8:27
Speaker 10: interventions with young people as early as possible, and that
8:32
Speaker 10: is what is having the most success in over seventy
8:35
Speaker 10: five percent success rate. So I think that is what
8:38
Speaker 10: we need to understand is contributing to this reduction in crime.
8:43
Speaker 3: If you want them to take response to give you
8:46
Speaker 3: credit for the drop, will you take responsibility for the
8:49
Speaker 3: fact that went up so dramatically under your watch In
8:52
Speaker 3: the first place, it is clear.
8:55
Speaker 10: From the data and the statistics that there was a
8:58
Speaker 10: spike of crime under labor and I think what we
9:02
Speaker 10: want credit for is that we were in fact trying
9:05
Speaker 10: to address that and doing something about it, and that
9:08
Speaker 10: the programs take it in place.
9:09
Speaker 1: Do you take accountability didn't happen?
9:11
Speaker 3: Do you take accountability time? Oh, I haven't heard it yet.
9:14
Speaker 3: Do you take accountability for the fact that it went
9:16
Speaker 3: up so dramatically under your watch?
9:19
Speaker 10: What we take accountability for is that we did something
9:22
Speaker 10: about it, and that that that what we introduced has
9:26
Speaker 10: been successful in this government has carried it on. I
9:28
Speaker 10: think they should give us more credits, but we didn't
9:33
Speaker 10: hear it yesterday in the House and we didn't see
9:35
Speaker 10: U thepr.
9:36
Speaker 3: Hey, how'd your meeting go with Ereka Stamford? Are you
9:38
Speaker 3: going to work together?
9:40
Speaker 10: So we had quite a long conversation about NCAA and
9:44
Speaker 10: the concerns that I'm hearing from the sector. It's really
9:46
Speaker 10: over to the minister now to respond to those significant
9:50
Speaker 10: concerns that are there with her proposal.
9:52
Speaker 3: Will O jeen Prime appreciate your time this morning. That's
9:54
Speaker 3: Labour's Children spokesperson wants a thank you very much. Labor
9:59
Speaker 3: eighteen hours to five news Talks. There'd be word of
10:01
Speaker 3: wearable art and Wellington next.
10:04
Speaker 2: The first word on the News of the Day early
10:07
Speaker 2: edition with Ryan Bridge and one roofe Love where you Live.
10:11
Speaker 3: News talks, there'd be five twenty on news Talks. There'd
10:14
Speaker 3: be We just had Willer joen Prime on from Labor
10:16
Speaker 3: and as you can imagine, we just about broke the
10:17
Speaker 3: text machine this morning. This is one example for you, Ryan.
10:22
Speaker 3: She took credit for the crime stats, but like Jippy,
10:25
Speaker 3: won't take the blame or responsibility for things like the
10:28
Speaker 3: state of the economy or the fact that the crime
10:30
Speaker 3: stats got worse in the first place the problem. And
10:33
Speaker 3: I think this is a really good point because we
10:35
Speaker 3: had the poll out the other day from R and
10:37
Speaker 3: Z that said people blame in terms of the economy,
10:39
Speaker 3: people blame national for its current condition and state more
10:45
Speaker 3: so than they do labor. That's a problem for the government.
10:47
Speaker 3: Twenty one after five, Ryan Bridge, Well, the Rebel Arts
10:51
Speaker 3: kicks off in Wellington today. You can expect everything from
10:53
Speaker 3: dog bowl dresses to road cone gowns. Plenty of road
10:56
Speaker 3: cones around to use. I suppose big crowds mean a
10:58
Speaker 3: big boost for the Capitol and boy do they need it.
11:00
Speaker 3: Meg Williams, as the World of Wearable Arts CEO, was
11:03
Speaker 3: me this morning, Meg, good morning, good morning. Good to
11:06
Speaker 3: have you on the show. What is the road cone down?
11:10
Speaker 7: Well, that was actually a supreme winner from last year,
11:13
Speaker 7: which was actually inspired by our designers visit to New
11:17
Speaker 7: Zealand a number of years ago after the Kai Carder earthquakes. Actually,
11:22
Speaker 7: and she was many of our designers come over for
11:25
Speaker 7: the show and then afterwards they take a trip around
11:28
Speaker 7: New Zealand and on that trip she was really inspired
11:32
Speaker 7: by the resilience of the country and how everyone had
11:36
Speaker 7: pulled together after that, and so that was actually the
11:39
Speaker 7: inspiration for that piece. It's a spectacular piece and yeah,
11:45
Speaker 7: and so it just so happened that it came into
11:48
Speaker 7: the competition last year.
11:50
Speaker 3: Meg.
11:50
Speaker 7: It's an example of the kind of invention and imagination
11:54
Speaker 7: that that designers put to put to the task for Wow.
11:57
Speaker 3: How many of you are you expecting today, Meg, Well,
12:02
Speaker 3: we open this week.
12:03
Speaker 7: We're pull on Friday, So we had our first dress
12:05
Speaker 7: rehearsal last night, and across the season we expect around
12:09
Speaker 7: sixty thousand, and many of those are from out of
12:11
Speaker 7: the region, so we have about seventy percent from outside
12:14
Speaker 7: of the Wellington region.
12:16
Speaker 3: And what we had road Cones you said was the
12:18
Speaker 3: supreme winner. What are we expecting this year?
12:22
Speaker 7: Yeah, Well, I can tell you a little bit about
12:24
Speaker 7: the show. The show is called Rise, and it's about
12:27
Speaker 7: a city illuminated with the creative spirit. And so there's
12:30
Speaker 7: a city scape in which we invite the audience into
12:33
Speaker 7: six different sections and so the wearable our designers designed
12:36
Speaker 7: for those sections. To give you a little taste of
12:38
Speaker 7: a couple of those, we have avant garde, which is
12:42
Speaker 7: kind of at the cature end. It's very beautiful and
12:46
Speaker 7: in the show that the theme is less and infused
12:50
Speaker 7: music and sultry, and we also try and make something
12:52
Speaker 7: fly in that section that we sho shouldn't make fly,
12:54
Speaker 7: which is a hallmark of what Wow does. We have
12:57
Speaker 7: a section called Neon which, as you can imagine, it's
13:01
Speaker 7: just a riot of color and our designers have really
13:03
Speaker 7: gone to town in that section. That's just huge fun.
13:06
Speaker 7: And the music soundtrack is this nineties inspired club hits
13:10
Speaker 7: of some real banger, isn't that. And then we've finished
13:12
Speaker 7: with Miss Climn Legends, which is ready for designs inspired
13:17
Speaker 7: by the mythic and the finale is really a beautiful
13:22
Speaker 7: operatic moment with an incredible vocal performance. So that's just
13:26
Speaker 7: a taste of about half of what they wanted to
13:29
Speaker 7: just can expect it well this.
13:30
Speaker 3: Year brilliant and sixty thousand people heading to Wellington got
13:33
Speaker 3: to be a good thing. Meig, thank you very much
13:34
Speaker 3: for your time this morning, and best luck with this
13:36
Speaker 3: year's World of Wearable Art. Meg Williams as the chief executive.
13:39
Speaker 3: It's twenty four after five and Bridge from the good
13:43
Speaker 3: news for Hamilton christ Church too, i suppose, but probably
13:46
Speaker 3: more so Hamilton. From the eighteenth of September you'll get
13:48
Speaker 3: select services between the two cities with a jet that
13:52
Speaker 3: coming back first time in twenty five years that a
13:55
Speaker 3: domestic jet services back to Hamilton one hundred and seventy
13:58
Speaker 3: one seat Airbus A. This will be alongside the turboprop
14:02
Speaker 3: services thank you in New Zealand. This is approximately twenty
14:05
Speaker 3: five thousand extra seats a year on the route. And
14:08
Speaker 3: I just wonder has it got anything possibly, just wondering
14:12
Speaker 3: anything to do with Jetstar's announcement of daily flights on
14:16
Speaker 3: the same route just nine ten days ago. Now they
14:20
Speaker 3: start the Jetstar ones in December. Who really cares? What
14:24
Speaker 3: the reason is? Its competition and its frequency, and that's
14:27
Speaker 3: got to be a good thing for the regions. News
14:29
Speaker 3: Talk SEBB the early edition.
14:31
Speaker 2: Full show podcast on iHeartRadio Power by NEWSTALKSB.
14:37
Speaker 3: Five twenty six on News TALKSB. Did you see the
14:40
Speaker 3: cops put out a handy warning for us all yesterday
14:42
Speaker 3: hide tel escape or is it hide escape? Tell yes
14:46
Speaker 3: the latter. The spooks their spires and Wellington reckon that
14:49
Speaker 3: extremist violence is a realistic possibility in this country. Now
14:54
Speaker 3: they've been saying this for some time, but yesterday you
14:56
Speaker 3: would have seen a news alert about this new campaign
14:59
Speaker 3: from police what to do during an armed attack in
15:02
Speaker 3: a crowded place. Now you could think, well, maybe they're
15:05
Speaker 3: just being prepared, and that's good. Good to be prepared,
15:08
Speaker 3: better to know than not. But is there a little
15:10
Speaker 3: part of you that also thinks do they know something
15:12
Speaker 3: specific you know? Or are they following so many suspected
15:17
Speaker 3: terrorists or potential terrorists that they've maxed capacity and feel
15:21
Speaker 3: like it's time to inform the last line of defense
15:24
Speaker 3: or self defense US. It's one of those things. I
15:27
Speaker 3: was thinking about it last night after watching the news,
15:30
Speaker 3: and you wonder whether maybe I'm just being a bit paranoid,
15:34
Speaker 3: or is this so plain and obvious that everyone else
15:36
Speaker 3: assumes the same thing. You had Luigi Mangioni over in
15:39
Speaker 3: the US. This is the young guy who hated insurance
15:42
Speaker 3: companies and assassinated a CEO in cold blood. Allegedly, you
15:45
Speaker 3: had Tyler Robinson over in the US. Again, he was
15:48
Speaker 3: in there. Another young guy strong views allegedly took his
15:53
Speaker 3: granddad's gun to university to shoot and kill a guest
15:56
Speaker 3: speaker They reckon hear. The risk remains low, but the
16:00
Speaker 3: threat is growing. The most likely scenario would involve a
16:05
Speaker 3: loan actor radicalized online through dangerous ideology and grievances, and
16:12
Speaker 3: the cops said explicitly, this is you know, this is
16:16
Speaker 3: something that is just one click away. It's not hard
16:18
Speaker 3: to find. It's not like it's on some far flung
16:21
Speaker 3: corner of the Internet. Now, given all of this, just
16:25
Speaker 3: think carefully about the stuff that is said on social media,
16:29
Speaker 3: about grievances and about extreme language, and the need to
16:33
Speaker 3: do something about it. A recent survey of business leaders
16:37
Speaker 3: here found more were worried about extremism than interest rates.
16:41
Speaker 3: And I think most reasonable kiwis if they're not, they
16:46
Speaker 3: should be as worried about it too. The CoP's advice
16:50
Speaker 3: this week is an update on some similar stuff that
16:52
Speaker 3: they released after the mosque shootings. And you just hope,
16:56
Speaker 3: like hell that we can figure out as a society,
16:59
Speaker 3: figure out a way to talk and reason with one
17:02
Speaker 3: another before something happens as bad or worse than that.
17:06
Speaker 3: Ryan Bredg on News Talk said, b twenty nine minutes
17:10
Speaker 3: after five, we'll get to the US and the GDP
17:14
Speaker 3: number out today. It'll go backwards, but quarter three should
17:17
Speaker 3: come back all ahead. On News Talks, Heed be early edition.

17:45
Speaker 3: Good morning, Welcome to your Thursday's twenty four minutes away
17:48
Speaker 3: from six before six, we'll talk about the GEDDPS GDP
17:51
Speaker 3: day today. Nothing to celebrate, of course, Thank you Donald Trump,
17:54
Speaker 3: Thank you Tarris. We will speak to Mike Smith from
17:56
Speaker 3: Banzaid about that before six o'clock this morning. And we'll
17:59
Speaker 3: also to the US where the federal reserve is about
18:02
Speaker 3: to cut by a court were expected to cut by
18:04
Speaker 3: a quarter of a percent. Do you recognize this song?
18:12
Speaker 3: Nine nineties reference for you our cartoon animated series called
18:16
Speaker 3: Where in the World Is Carmen San Diego? And the
18:19
Speaker 3: reason I'm playing this for you? It was a woman
18:21
Speaker 3: who wore she was a thief and wore a really
18:23
Speaker 3: wide brimmed red hat. You may remember this, I certainly do.
18:28
Speaker 3: Great show. She was sort of like a Robin Hood.
18:31
Speaker 3: She was a thief, but then she gave back that
18:32
Speaker 3: kind of thing. Anyway, The series was started because they
18:36
Speaker 3: did a survey of American kids realized none of them
18:40
Speaker 3: had any idea about geography. They couldn't point to the
18:44
Speaker 3: Soviet Union as it was back then, all the Pacific
18:46
Speaker 3: Ocean on a map, so they thought, let's create a cartoon. Anyway,
18:50
Speaker 3: So she wears the wide brimmed hat. That's basically what
18:53
Speaker 3: Malania Trump's wearing in the UK for the state visit today.
18:56
Speaker 3: It's purple because Donald Trump's tires purple. It were a
19:00
Speaker 3: similar one to because everyone likes talking about what Milania
19:02
Speaker 3: is going to wear. She wore it's much like the
19:05
Speaker 3: one she wore to the inauguration, which was navy and white.
19:09
Speaker 3: So she's got a hat slash come umbrella. And you
19:12
Speaker 3: can't kiss her on the cheek because all the royals
19:14
Speaker 3: are their cates. They're trying to kiss her on the cheek.
19:16
Speaker 3: You cannot get a looking otherwise you get a poke
19:19
Speaker 3: in the eye. And that's I don't know that on purpose.
19:21
Speaker 3: The other thing is they reckon because when she slightly
19:24
Speaker 3: tilts her head, you can't see any of her face,
19:27
Speaker 3: and the Vogue magazine, you know, they were all across
19:30
Speaker 3: that they reckon. It's because she wants to be unseen
19:34
Speaker 3: so that all the focus goes on Donald Trump, the
19:37
Speaker 3: more important one in the room. Apparently twenty two minutes
19:41
Speaker 3: away from six there's some trivia for you, Ryan Shadowy
19:46
Speaker 3: reporters around the country. Color procter into need in this morning.
19:48
Speaker 3: Color good morning, morning, right, final day for public to
19:52
Speaker 3: have their say on Wanaka Airport. Yeah, that's right.
19:55
Speaker 11: This has been the second round of community engagement for
19:59
Speaker 11: the airport. It was launched with the public encourage to
20:02
Speaker 11: share their views in an online survey. It covers five
20:05
Speaker 11: possible future scenarios about the airport's long term role, ranging
20:08
Speaker 11: from closing it down altogether to developing it into a
20:11
Speaker 11: domestic or international airport. One of the local councilors is
20:16
Speaker 11: Lyell Cox from the Wannaka Upper Kluth Award. She says
20:19
Speaker 11: it's been great to see how enthusiastic the community has
20:22
Speaker 11: been with feedback. She says it's important to everyone in
20:25
Speaker 11: the airport and so the consulting process so far has
20:27
Speaker 11: meant that feedback has been clearly captured.
20:30
Speaker 3: All right, how's your weather.
20:32
Speaker 11: We've got showers here from late morning, strong southwest change
20:35
Speaker 11: today the high fourteenth.
20:36
Speaker 3: Nice one. Thank you. Claire in christ Church morning, Claire,
20:39
Speaker 3: good morning. Got a night trade emergency there.
20:42
Speaker 11: Yeah.
20:42
Speaker 12: This was a heated debate at the Regional Council yesterday
20:45
Speaker 12: Ryan nine councilors voted for and seven were against declaring
20:50
Speaker 12: this night trate emergency. It's after some groundwater testing found
20:54
Speaker 12: increasing levels of night trade in the majority of monitored
20:57
Speaker 12: sites here. Of course, night trade and drinking has the
21:01
Speaker 12: potential for the likes of blue baby syndrome. There's also
21:04
Speaker 12: quite a lot of growing evidence around its potential link
21:07
Speaker 12: to bowel cancer. So this whole idea and the motion
21:10
Speaker 12: was put forward by Regional Council of Vicki Southworth, who
21:13
Speaker 12: says that council's work has simply not been enough. She
21:15
Speaker 12: says it's not complicated, there simply needs to be less.
21:18
Speaker 12: Cows E Can chair Craig Pauling supports the decision, saying
21:23
Speaker 12: he hopes it sends a clear message that enough is enough.
21:26
Speaker 12: But interestingly and unsurprisingly, the likes of Federated Farmers are concerned.
21:30
Speaker 12: They say it's alarmist, it's disappointing, and they've even gone
21:34
Speaker 12: as far as labeling it a political stunt.
21:36
Speaker 3: How's your weather?
21:38
Speaker 12: Mainly find some scattered channels developing a bit later, could
21:40
Speaker 12: be some thunderstorms as well. Westerly is turning strong southerly and.
21:44
Speaker 3: Nineteen she is Claire Max and Mellington. Morning Max, good morning.
21:48
Speaker 3: You've got a judge ordering police to give back a
21:51
Speaker 3: mongral mob patch. Yeah, amungle.
21:53
Speaker 13: My member stopped on his motorbike by police at three
21:55
Speaker 13: am at a traffic stop in Lower Hut had his
21:58
Speaker 13: patch seized which he was wearing. The District Court has
22:01
Speaker 13: now ruled the police handed back. This is the second
22:05
Speaker 13: time I believe a court has done this in the
22:07
Speaker 13: past few weeks. Judge Bruce Davidson says it's display involved
22:10
Speaker 13: no public disorder, threads or violence. All the patch did
22:13
Speaker 13: was get this guy stopped by police and everyone is
22:15
Speaker 13: subject to the same property rights. What it does suggest, though,
22:19
Speaker 13: is perhaps a bit of disconnect in terms of how
22:21
Speaker 13: to enforce the patch ban. But there is more to
22:24
Speaker 13: the story. What was noted was this guy was uncooperative,
22:27
Speaker 13: verbally aggressive to police, refused to breath test, hardly a cherub.
22:32
Speaker 13: He didn't have a motorcycle license either. What he did
22:35
Speaker 13: do was promising court he won't wear it in public again.
22:38
Speaker 13: But we'll see about that.
22:40
Speaker 3: Okay. He sounds like a reliable sort. Yes, that's the next.
22:45
Speaker 13: Mainly fine, other than some showers and those gale winds
22:48
Speaker 13: should be easing fairly promptly sixteen.
22:50
Speaker 3: Nice one, Thank you neither an Auckland. Nice to see
22:53
Speaker 3: you neither after you weren't here yesterday. You were missed,
22:57
Speaker 3: Were you?
22:59
Speaker 14: I wasn't willing to And just when I heard Mex
23:01
Speaker 14: saying about those wild ones, I was caught up in that.
23:04
Speaker 14: I was wheeling my suitcase across the road, you know,
23:06
Speaker 14: and CBD. I was staying at Ridges and I was
23:08
Speaker 14: wheeling my suitcase. I thought, oh, I'll be fine, I'll
23:11
Speaker 14: be fine. Nearly got blown off through the intersection.
23:14
Speaker 3: Ah, now you were missed. Yesterday was bloody, windy, and
23:18
Speaker 3: you can crush these two lots of winter. Yes, you
23:20
Speaker 3: have the pets, the shelter for pets who have been
23:23
Speaker 3: caught up in family violence. They're putting a bit of
23:26
Speaker 3: an urgent call out.
23:27
Speaker 13: Yes.
23:28
Speaker 14: Now, look what's happening is that they need a blanket
23:30
Speaker 14: weight list. Now this is due to surging demand, so
23:34
Speaker 14: Pet Refuge it's introduced weightless for every type of pet. Now,
23:37
Speaker 14: this is the first time in four years that they've
23:39
Speaker 14: had to do. You know, the weightlists the service provides shelter.
23:43
Speaker 14: This is were up to four months while victims find
23:45
Speaker 14: new housing. Julie Chapman, she's a founder. She says, what
23:48
Speaker 14: they know of people on the waitlist, you know they're
23:51
Speaker 14: staying in you know, like these unsafe environments to protect
23:54
Speaker 14: the pets. So she says getting the ten pets off
23:58
Speaker 14: the weightlist as soon as possible was cruse. They just
24:00
Speaker 14: don't need the funds, so that's why they've got this.
24:02
Speaker 14: They're asking for more donations. Yeah, I probably should have
24:06
Speaker 14: said that first. So yeah, you know, if you've got
24:08
Speaker 14: extra money, you think we's never going with the story.
24:11
Speaker 3: Well, I sort of thought, do you know, for the
24:13
Speaker 3: first glance at first blush, I thought that there was
24:16
Speaker 3: a witless for blankets they needed blankets donated. Well, but
24:21
Speaker 3: but it's a blanket wait list, not a weightless for blanket.
24:25
Speaker 3: Gotcha neither. How's how's our weather? Okay, well we've got.
24:29
Speaker 14: Showers turning to rain late morning afternoon eighteen is a high.
24:33
Speaker 14: That's you know, spring spring, isn't it nice and warm?
24:36
Speaker 3: Neva? Thank you? It is seventeen minutes away from six
24:39
Speaker 3: year on news talks.
24:39
Speaker 2: Be we'll get to the US next international correspondence with
24:43
Speaker 2: ends and eye insurance.
24:45
Speaker 1: Peace of mind for New Zealand business. According to Sex,
24:47
Speaker 1: We'll get.
24:48
Speaker 3: To GDP next. The Royals are out and force for
24:50
Speaker 3: Trump's first day of the state visit at Windsor Castle.
24:53
Speaker 3: That says, you got protests in London. Tony Waterman as
24:56
Speaker 3: our US correspondent, good morning, good morning.
25:00
Speaker 1: Yeah.
25:00
Speaker 3: So he loves a bit of the pomp and ceremonies,
25:03
Speaker 3: getting lots.
25:03
Speaker 1: Of it over in the UK.
25:06
Speaker 4: Yeah, he certainly does. This is right up Donald Trump's
25:08
Speaker 4: ali He often has talked about how his first state
25:13
Speaker 4: visit to the UK was the highlight of his first
25:15
Speaker 4: term in office, and he's been given not just another
25:18
Speaker 4: state visit, but a state visit, you know, on steroids
25:22
Speaker 4: where they've really brought out the biggest, the best of
25:26
Speaker 4: everything for Donald Trump to kind of feed into this
25:29
Speaker 4: part of his personality and really try to highlight this
25:32
Speaker 4: special relationship between the UK and the US. There was
25:37
Speaker 4: a ceremony at Windsor Castle. There was a red Irol's
25:40
Speaker 4: fly past. Trump and the King and their respective wives
25:45
Speaker 4: were in the carriage full of gold. This is right
25:49
Speaker 4: up Trump's alley, and he's really, it seems as if,
25:52
Speaker 4: really enjoying everything that's taken place so far in the.
25:55
Speaker 3: US we've got you fed right, highly anticipated, and what
25:59
Speaker 3: must be how from now now?
26:01
Speaker 4: Now, Yeah, we're going to be hearing in just about
26:04
Speaker 4: thirteen minutes from now about whether or not the FED
26:07
Speaker 4: is going to make this twenty five basis point cut,
26:09
Speaker 4: the first cut that would happen so far this year.
26:13
Speaker 4: The FED is really struggling to balance it's two mandates,
26:16
Speaker 4: which is low inflation and full employment, because both of
26:20
Speaker 4: those things are going in opposite directions right now. But
26:23
Speaker 4: it seems as if they are going to cut the rate.
26:26
Speaker 4: I think what everybody's going to be looking at are
26:29
Speaker 4: the descents. Not normal for the FED to have descents,
26:32
Speaker 4: but we did see this on the last meeting. And
26:35
Speaker 4: now that Trump has, in the last you know, twenty
26:38
Speaker 4: four thirty six hours or so, put in one of
26:40
Speaker 4: his top economic advisors onto the Governor's board, we'll see
26:45
Speaker 4: if Steve Myron puts in a descent saying that the
26:48
Speaker 4: rate should have been cut much lower. But you know,
26:51
Speaker 4: there's a lot of questions about the Fed's independence right
26:53
Speaker 4: now as Trump tries to restack the Governor's Board that
26:57
Speaker 4: hopefully in his view, to be cutting interest rates at
27:01
Speaker 4: a much faster rate.
27:02
Speaker 3: And does that put pressure on them, and is it
27:04
Speaker 3: the softer jobs or the Trump pressure that does it?
27:06
Speaker 1: In the end?
27:07
Speaker 3: Tony Vorderman from our US correspondent this morning, Thanks for
27:10
Speaker 3: your time. It's just gone twelve to six. Ray and
27:12
Speaker 3: Bridge shitty back home. GDP day today. Quarter two numbers
27:15
Speaker 3: due out at ten forty five. Most bank economists expecting
27:18
Speaker 3: a point four drop, worse than the reserve reserve banks
27:21
Speaker 3: expected point three, but optimism remains for a quarter three
27:25
Speaker 3: bounce back. Mike Jones, b n Z Chief Economist, Morning, Mike, A,
27:29
Speaker 3: you're right, you're slightly more gloomy than the rest of
27:32
Speaker 3: the bank economists.
27:33
Speaker 9: Why a sliver more gloomy year half percent decline is
27:37
Speaker 9: what we're picking, not too far from the consensus, but
27:41
Speaker 9: you know, when we add up all the numbers, that's
27:44
Speaker 9: what we get. I think it's pretty clear that the
27:46
Speaker 9: economy fell into a bit of a pothole in the
27:49
Speaker 9: second quarter. That we'll just get out from this morning's
27:51
Speaker 9: numbers exactly how.
27:52
Speaker 3: Much, And obviously this is backwards looking. Do we expect
27:56
Speaker 3: quarter three will giveth back what quarter two taketh.
28:01
Speaker 9: Largely? Yeah, we think this is probably the low point
28:04
Speaker 9: we've actually just lifted our fooka for the third quarter.
28:07
Speaker 9: The could have announced at two point seven percent. We've
28:10
Speaker 9: got a few lumpy factors in Q two we think
28:12
Speaker 9: will come out and help us in the current quarter.
28:16
Speaker 9: Butible pictures stabilized a little bit. We've had more rate caps,
28:19
Speaker 9: so those things should help.
28:21
Speaker 1: Restore a bit of go forward.
28:23
Speaker 3: How are you worrying other services? Sect the manufacturing numbers
28:26
Speaker 3: that we've had, they.
28:29
Speaker 9: Not what we would have liked or perhaps expected. I mean,
28:33
Speaker 9: if you've sort of looked through the trend in those
28:36
Speaker 9: PMI and PSI numbers, it is still positive, but kind
28:40
Speaker 9: of barely. There's not a whole lot of momentum there,
28:43
Speaker 9: but it does seem like, generally speaking, a step back.
28:46
Speaker 9: The numbers are tilting in a positive direction, but looks
28:51
Speaker 9: like it's just going to take a little more time
28:53
Speaker 9: before we're kind of properly back up and been growing again.
28:57
Speaker 3: The interesting piece on interest dot co use today saying
29:00
Speaker 3: that the December and March bumps that we saw were
29:03
Speaker 3: more relief activity rather than the start of a real recovery.
29:07
Speaker 3: Do you agree with that or do you think that
29:09
Speaker 3: it was we were on the way and then it
29:11
Speaker 3: was Trump and trade hitting sentiment and affecting everything.
29:17
Speaker 9: Yeah, look, there's possibly a bit of that. I think
29:20
Speaker 9: there was some genuine growth happening. It's a two steps forward,
29:26
Speaker 9: one step back sort of growth pattern. I think the
29:30
Speaker 9: growth outlooks just relatively fragile. It's stopped start because we
29:35
Speaker 9: don't have blowing in our favor some of those things
29:38
Speaker 9: that often help us in a recovery, things like rising
29:41
Speaker 9: house prices and booming migration, extra government spending, that sort
29:45
Speaker 9: of stuff. So without that stuff, I think we're going
29:48
Speaker 9: to stay in this sort of choppy still a recovery,
29:50
Speaker 9: but a choppy back and forth, stop start sort of environment.
29:54
Speaker 3: Mike, the most important question on everyone's lips, especially Christopher Luxon's,
29:58
Speaker 3: when does your average household actually start to feel like
30:02
Speaker 3: things are getting a bit like we're getting ahead.
30:06
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean that's the big question I think for
30:09
Speaker 9: us when we look at the outlook, it's going to take.
30:13
Speaker 9: We think until probably that the final quarter of this year,
30:16
Speaker 9: for example, so Q four before GDP is back up
30:20
Speaker 9: to that high watermark of the start of last year,
30:24
Speaker 9: and at that time we're going to start to see,
30:26
Speaker 9: we think the unemployment rate start to turn down it's
30:30
Speaker 9: going to take some time, but that's when we might
30:32
Speaker 9: think the labor market will start to turn. I think
30:34
Speaker 9: that's probably when households will start to feel a little
30:38
Speaker 9: more confident and better about the economy. But there's no
30:42
Speaker 9: doubt it's going to be probably well into next year
30:47
Speaker 9: before it actually kind of feels properly, properly like in
30:50
Speaker 9: a recovery.
30:50
Speaker 3: All right, might we live in hope? Thanks mate, and
30:53
Speaker 3: Mike Jones bean Z twop economist with us this morning.
30:55
Speaker 3: It is nine to six News Talk ZB.
31:00
Speaker 2: Radio and online on iheard radio early edition with Ryan
31:04
Speaker 2: Bridge and one roof Love where you Live news talks had.
31:08
Speaker 3: Been it is six to six news Talks, there'd be
31:11
Speaker 3: the Hero's got an interesting piece today. This is on
31:13
Speaker 3: the foreign tourist tax and the amount that you pay
31:17
Speaker 3: when you come into New Zealand went up. They put
31:19
Speaker 3: it up from thirty five bucks to one hundred bucks.
31:23
Speaker 3: This is last year. And the idea was, at least
31:25
Speaker 3: they made it sound like the idea was that you
31:27
Speaker 3: would fund tourism hospitality. You know, you'd maybe get a
31:30
Speaker 3: toilet so your freedom campers weren't doing their business in
31:33
Speaker 3: the bushes and you'd fix some dock tracks. The budget
31:36
Speaker 3: documents show they have expected revenue of one hundred and
31:39
Speaker 3: ninety to two hundred twenty nine million, depending on how
31:41
Speaker 3: many tourists you have come in here, and one hundred
31:43
Speaker 3: to one hundred and forty million of that guess where
31:45
Speaker 3: it's going into the government's coffers. Through a bit of
31:49
Speaker 3: a switcher route. You substitute the cash from the foreign
31:52
Speaker 3: tourists for Crown funding. Gives them a bit of extra
31:55
Speaker 3: money to play with, a bit of fiscal headroom. Local
31:58
Speaker 3: government New Zealand not happy with that. Foreign bird, not
32:00
Speaker 3: happy with that. The World of Wildlife fun.
32:02
Speaker 1: Do we care?
32:03
Speaker 3: Not happy with that. The tourism lobby a little more understanding.
32:06
Speaker 3: They just want an incremental increase to the overall funding.
32:09
Speaker 3: So there you go. Is that what you expected or
32:12
Speaker 3: is that actually because the politicians what you expected? Five
32:14
Speaker 3: to six Brian Bridge, Mike's with us now morning, Mike Morning.
32:19
Speaker 8: We'll have old tamar on with that money question. I
32:22
Speaker 8: can't I don't know the answer, my miny question around
32:24
Speaker 8: it in forward budgeting, whether or not they didn't know
32:26
Speaker 8: what they were going to get and therefore they've got
32:28
Speaker 8: more than they thought therefore they'll give what they thought
32:30
Speaker 8: they were going to get to, and then when they
32:32
Speaker 8: get more, they can give more. What when they get more,
32:35
Speaker 8: they'll get when they get When they get more, they
32:37
Speaker 8: give more. So I say, I'll I'll give you ten bucks.
32:39
Speaker 8: I think I'm getting ten bucks. Whoops, I've got twenty. Yes,
32:42
Speaker 8: so now I've got twenty, I'll give you twenty. So
32:44
Speaker 8: I don't know that they're not going to go down
32:45
Speaker 8: that track, or they might just be keeping the money.
32:47
Speaker 3: We'll look at that. What else have I got for
32:49
Speaker 3: you this morning? The youth offending?
32:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, good news.
32:52
Speaker 3: Well, of course it's good news.
32:53
Speaker 8: It's it's it's don't play your journalist.
32:56
Speaker 6: Is that good news?
32:58
Speaker 3: Well? Even Willow Jene Prime said it good news, but
33:00
Speaker 3: she insisted that she get a thank you because it's
33:03
Speaker 3: her programs that did it good on her. She had
33:05
Speaker 3: a meeting about that. Yet, no I asked her about
