  Speaker 2: At a six half to five Nichola Willis and the
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: big Yes campaign, the supermarkets before six were in the
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: US with our correspondent. A hot tip for you this morning,
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: where to buy a rental property right now? And the
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: gender pay gap, the interesting new number. We'll talk about
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: that shortly.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: The agenda.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: It is Thursday to twenty eighth of August. Another school
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: shooting in the US, this time Minneapolis, a Catholic school.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Two kids are dead, seventeen injured.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: During the mass, a gunman approached on the outside, on
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: the side of the building and began firing a rifle
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: through the church windows towards the children sitting in the
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: pews at the mess.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: The shooter was armed.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: With a rifle, a shotgun, and a pistol. This was
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: a deliberate act of violence against innocent children.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: That guy's now dead.
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: These kids were literally praying they should be able to
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: go to school or church in peace without the fear
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: or risk of violence, and their parents should have the
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: same kind of assurance.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: The IDFC is evacuating Gaza City is inevitable. This is
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: as troops prepared for the takeover. We've been reporting on
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: this this week. Meanwhile, Trump said to chair a White
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: House meeting on Gaza's post war future.
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: But this afternoon there's a separate meeting here in Washington
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: between Secretary of State Marc Rubio and Israel's foreign minister.
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: But there's been a little indication of what any expected
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: outcomes of this are. Twice in the last several days,
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: Witkoff has said that the US beliefs they'll bring this
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: war to a close by the end of twenty twenty six,
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: and yesterday, during a cabinet meeting, Trump said he thinks
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: they could end in as little as two to three weeks.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: The South Koreans, like Luxin's phone band for kids in schools,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: are doing the same thing in their classrooms. Lawmakers educate
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: as they argue the smartphone US is affecting students' academic performance,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: takes away the time they could have spent guess what studying.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: And finally, SpaceX has pulled off a successful test flight
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: of its Starship rocket after a string of failures. The
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: world's biggest rocket launched from Texas for a sixty minute
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: flight down to.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Two Lace little of Harvard and Landyburn shut down.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Great okay. NASA plans to use it to send humans
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: to the Moon. First missions will be twenty twenty seven.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day early
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and one Roote Love Where you
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Live News Talks had been nine.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Two ninety two is the number to text this morning.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Beware the law of unintended consequences. We've seen a bit
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: too much of this lately, and I'm just not happy
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: about it. Governments do stuff thinking they will fix a problem,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: and then they end up maybe making things the same,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: or actually, in some cases, making them worse. Last week
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: we spoke about electricity, and I told you the Gen
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: tailors are giving their retail armored discount. This is what
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: is alleged Gen Taylor's. They give their retail armored discount. Right.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: This means the smaller players pay more, and the big
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: guys protect their patch and shut the little guys out.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: So government comes in and says, well, you must offer
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: the same price to the little guys that you're offering
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: to yourselves. Great. Sounds like a good solution, except, as
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: we told you this guy from Griffith University who studies
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: this stuff. He says, hang on a minute, the big
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: boys will just stop giving themselves the discounts and charge
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: the little guys exactly the same. So the end result
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: is actually higher prices for us the consumer if you're
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: with one of those big operators, the opposite of what
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: we wanted. Yesterday, I was reading this report were released
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: from the Imported Motor Vehicle Industry Association, which I did
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: not know existed, but now we know. They're ringing the
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: alarm bells about truckies. We've tightened up the emissions requirements
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: for heavy trucks that we bring into the country. You know,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: we don't want as much carbon in the air, et cetera,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: et ce. Doing the same thing with used and new imports. Right,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: idea is great, idea is nice, save the planet, but
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: you end up shrinking the pool of trucks that are
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: available to be sold here in New Zealand, and that
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: pushes the price up. They reckon that this change is
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: coming in November. They reckon it'll push the price up
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: for a heavy truck by thirty five to forty grand.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: And what a truckes do? They just hold on to
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: their higher emission trucks for longer because they can't afford
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: the new trucks more emissions. See the theme problem pops
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: up your grocery prices, power prices, climate change, you name it. Whatever.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Media gets hysterical, Yes, I know that's us, and then
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: government's buckle they need jerk. Then you're back to where
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: you started or worse. Ry and Bridge New Talks EB.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: It's eleven after five. Next we'll talk about this interesting
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: number on the pay gap. It's good news, but what
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: does it tell us about the causes of a pay gap?
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: News Talks MB.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Bridge and one roof Love Where you.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Live News Talks at B five thirteen. This is why
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: you don't feel richer. We had June labour market data
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: from stats in z out yesterday. So your median weekly
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: earnings from wages and salaries thirteen hundred and eighty dollars.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: That's your median weekly thirteen hundred and eighty dollars for
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: the quarter. Now, that is an increase of two point
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: eight percent on the same quarter in twenty twenty four.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: And then you look at the price of the inflation
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: increase two point seven percent in the year to June.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: So that's why you feel like you're going why we
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: all feel like we're going a bit sideways at the
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: moment five point thirteen.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: The difference between the salaries of men and women is
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: the lowest it's ever been. Stats Insed says the gender
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: pay gap fell from eight percent last year to just
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: five point two percent this year. Delwin Stewart is Mine
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: the Gap co founder with me on the line this morning, Dlwin,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: good morning, good morning. Why is this do you think?
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: Well, on the surface, that's a historical drop. It's the
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: biggest drop we've ever seen since it started to be recorded,
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: But we need to be cautious as that may just
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: reflect job losses amongst low paid women rather than true gains.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: So because of the state of the economy, that's what's
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: causing the drop.
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah, in a week labor market women, especially at those
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: in lower paid jobs, can be dispropertionately hurt. So if
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: they're leaving the market, that distorts the number. We've seen
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: that happen historically at other times of recession or tough
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: times where unemployment has spiked and it gives an artificial
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: improvement in number. But unless you look under the hood
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: and you understand what's really going on and all the factors,
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: then you can be misled by a headline number.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Do you think the number will go back up as
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: things improve?
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: It's a danger that it will.
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: Absolutely.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Is this because women do more part time work?
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: Yes, women do tend to opt because they're still carrying
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: the majority of the load of parenting, they tend to
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: opt for part time work more. And it's often those
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: roles that are cut. We saw that really strongly during COVID,
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: that are all of those part time roles just divanished.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: If the gap improves when things are tough, does it
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: not prove that it's not sexism that's actually causing it.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: It's the type of work. You know, part timers don't
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: progress as much done you paid as much.
• 7:36
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: So, there's been numerous studies that have looked at this
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: about what actually is affecting contributing to the pay gap,
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: and consistently they show that only about twenty percent of
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: the gap is about the type of work you do,
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: the education that you've had, the sector that you choose
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: part time full time. The rest of the eighty percent
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: is unattributable to those things, so we don't know. Well,
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: that's where we say, that's the kind of things come
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: into play, like sexism basically and racism, because this gap
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: is only giving you the averages and it's not telling
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: you what the gap is for Mariian Pacific woman and
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: traditionally it's significantly larger for Mariian Pacific women.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Darwin, has anyone compared part time men to part time
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: women to see how big that gap is?
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: I haven't. I'm not aware of it of that.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't they give us a pretty good sense of whether
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: that is what exactly the problem is.
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean we all look like to think that
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: there is one problem to and they will solve everything
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: the silver billet theory, but actually there's not one solution here.
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: There's some really good changes that have been happening in
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: the last five years. The Minded Gap campaign really changed
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: was understanding of the issue. The government will recently have
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: created a free pay gap tool that's freely available that
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: it helps people to address this and understand it in
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: their business. There are good things happening. It's just a
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: danger of looking at one number and thinking there's one
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: solution that isn't going to solve our problems do.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: I would appreciate your time this morning. Thanks for being
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: with me. Dylan Stuart mind the Gap co found a

• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Yet more proof now is the perfect time to buy
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: a house, particularly if you're a first home buyer. Figures
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: from Catality show house price income ratio back to pre
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: COVID levels. Mortgage repayments now make up around forty four
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: percent of the median household income. The peak was fifty seven,
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: the same that was back in twenty twenty two. On
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: vonn is the editor of One Roof and with us
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: this morning, Good morning.
• 10:07
  Speaker 8: Good morning, Ryan.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: You're saying, don't walk but run to the bank.
• 10:11
  Speaker 8: Run to the bank. Well, I know where people should
• 10:14
  Speaker 8: run too, because look when you look at these figures
• 10:17
  Speaker 8: and it's positive, but I think for a lot of
• 10:20
  Speaker 8: people who are out in the market, they see things
• 10:23
  Speaker 8: like this and they just go, Wow, houses still cost
• 10:26
  Speaker 8: a lot, And I think, yeah, affordability is improved, but
• 10:31
  Speaker 8: I think it's more about houses are just less unaffordable.
• 10:35
  Speaker 8: But there are a lot of pockets out in the
• 10:38
  Speaker 8: market that first one buyers should be targeting. And I
• 10:42
  Speaker 8: think that's where kind of know that the focus should be,
• 10:45
  Speaker 8: that buyers should be still looking for where there's value,
• 10:50
  Speaker 8: and I think there is a lot of value there.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Where where are the pockets you're talking about?
• 10:55
  Speaker 8: Well, not a suburb that's on a lot of people's
• 10:59
  Speaker 8: radar for a lot of reasons, but o Tara Atara
• 11:04
  Speaker 8: is a suburb where right now kind of no houses
• 11:08
  Speaker 8: on full sections are probably the cheapest in Auckland. And
• 11:13
  Speaker 8: that's a fantastic kind of deal for kind of personal
• 11:16
  Speaker 8: buyers right now. Like back in the speak of a market,
• 11:22
  Speaker 8: Otara was a million dollar suburb. That's hard to imagine,
• 11:27
  Speaker 8: but the price frenzy that was going on then drove
• 11:31
  Speaker 8: prices up in that South Auckland suburb, which was really
• 11:37
  Speaker 8: a kind of an area where there was those social housing.
• 11:42
  Speaker 8: It wasn't kind of not a desirable suburb in Auckland,
• 11:46
  Speaker 8: but these prices rose to a million dollars and that's
• 11:48
  Speaker 8: because developers piled in thought they should buy flat sections
• 11:53
  Speaker 8: for reasonable prices bill townhouses make a fortune. That all
• 12:00
  Speaker 8: collapsed and now prices in Otara have come down round
• 12:05
  Speaker 8: about kin of twenty percent since the COVID peak, and
• 12:10
  Speaker 8: pretty decent houses X state houses are going there for
• 12:14
  Speaker 8: around about six hundred thousand dollars. That's that house in
• 12:18
  Speaker 8: Auckland for six hundred thousand dollars.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: And then what will I be worth in ten years?
• 12:24
  Speaker 8: Well, that's the thing that currently there's a restriction imposed
• 12:30
  Speaker 8: by water care, and that means that developers can't build
• 12:35
  Speaker 8: new stock and connect it to the wass for supply
• 12:40
  Speaker 8: sewerage supply. That means those houses are basically worthless developers.
• 12:46
  Speaker 8: But those wark care restrictions will left in a round
• 12:49
  Speaker 8: about ten years time, so no one should be kind
• 12:52
  Speaker 8: of piling into Atara for speculation. But it does mean
• 12:58
  Speaker 8: that that suburb once those what or care restrictions are lifted,
• 13:02
  Speaker 8: maybe I'm around about ten years, maybe fifteen years, there
• 13:05
  Speaker 8: will suddenly be wor a lot more than what they are.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Not really interesting stuff I'm calling the bank. Appreciate your time.
• 13:13
  Speaker 8: This on Parliament.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Own born, editor of one Roof on news Talk CREB.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: It's twenty three minutes after five. Brian, no professional development.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: I've never done this. Have you ever done professional development?
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: I've never had the opportunity to. I just don't think
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: we're in the type of industry that does it. Maybe
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: I need it, I don't know professional development. I've got
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: friends who what are you doing on on the way
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: and professional development this week? So I won't be in
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: the office And you get email bounce backs on PD?
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: What is that?
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Anyway, this happens, and I always a picture and I
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: think it's like they must go to some retreat and
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: do like a wellness you know, do breath work, and
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: there's some guy that comes out, like to Tony Robbins,
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: who comes out and tells them about his life story,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: and then they all feel great and they clap in
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: high five and go back to work and they're just
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: as crap as they were to begin with. Well, there's
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: an Errow report on teachers and professional professional development which
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: has dropped this morning, and they said half of teachers
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: reported after going to a PD session, half of teachers
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: report they are not completely clear about how to use
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: what they have learned. A third report little improvement, a
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: quarter report no improvement to student outcomes. So it just
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: reinforces everything I previously believed about professional development. Twenty four
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: after five The early.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio how It By News TALKSB.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: News TALKSB. Twenty six after five. All goods so far
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: from Nichola Willison's Supermarkets. I reckon she's got to the
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: nub of the problem, which is basically red tape. Governments
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: of all stripes, including her, have been quick to point
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: the finger at private enterprise for higher prices, and their
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: is truth in that, but most haven't looked in the
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: mirror like Willis did yesterday and admit it's them that
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: also has a problem. We all do. Really, everyone moans
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: about prices, but then moans about construction of anything new
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: not in my backyard. The whole NIMBI movement, consultation up,
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: the Wazoo committees, petitions, duncan web on a soapbox. That's democracy.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Like Churchill said, the lesser of two evils. It's taken
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: them two years to get here, but they could have
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: just listened to our interview with the former managing director
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: of Costco back in March. Of course, he told us
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: all of this then, and the other big problem real
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: estate prices for those wanting to build and develop and
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: shipping getting your goods here to the bottom of the
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: world on their time frames is another big one, especially
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: when you're operating at scale like a Costco. We spoke
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: about this last week. They will tinker around with the
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: fast track the consumer laws and then plaster their presses
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: with the threat of breaking up the duopoly divestment, forcing
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: your pack and saves you will worse to sell some
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: of their stores to a new entrant, to a third entrant,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: forcing your food stuffs to sell some distribution centers. Maybe,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: And what I said last week is still true now.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: ACT won't go for it, so it's a non starter.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Plus even the ComCom said it's risky as cost could
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: outweigh benefits. So Willis should stop with the threats. If
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: you own a supermarket right now and your livelihood is
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: being threatened, are you going to invest, are you going
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: to hire staff, are you going to plan an expansion?
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: The threat is purely political and could end up doing
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: the opposite of what Willis wants it to do, so
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: just put it in the bin already. Brian Bridge, Oney,
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: eight minutes after five, I want to play for you
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: a clip from Duncan Web actually because it goes to
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: the heart of what Nichola Willis was saying yesterday about
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: people get in the way of development. Ext you. We
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: haven't got time. I'll have to bring it to you
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: after the news, which we will do shortly, and then
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: get to our US correspondent. There's been a shooting. Another
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: school shooting at a school, this one in Minneapolis, a
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Catholic school. Two children have been killed. Our US correspondent
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: has the latest. And then we look at supermarkets before
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: six news Talks. EBB, you got the fattest car.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: It's a fast enough so we can fly.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: We still going to make a decision, leave nine and
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: live died this way.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Views and views you trust to start your day. It's
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: early dship with Bryan Bridge and one roof love where
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: you live news talks at b.
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: I wan.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: It is twenty four away from the six year. On
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: news Talks, we'll get to adding a will from labor
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: on the supermarket changes. What exactly would they do differently?
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: That's coming up before six a US correspondent with us
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: to Duncan Webb, who's christ Church MP and Labor MP.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: He did a little video which hasn't aged well given
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: what we're talking about this morning. And this was on
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: the site of a proposed Woolworth store in edgewhere in
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: christ Church, which remember Nichola Willis has come out and said,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: too many of us are holding up big no signs,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: and we need to hold up big yes signs. And
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: if we fast track development of supermarkets, we'll get more
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: of them. We might even get a third entrant. We
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: might even get cheaper prices. Here's what he said outside
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: the side of a proposed Woolworst sign.
• 18:41
  Speaker 9: Here I am it's a suburban neighborhood with a few
• 18:44
  Speaker 9: new houses and a whole lot of old ones as well.
• 18:47
  Speaker 9: And here we are.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: This is HbA Village.
• 18:49
  Speaker 9: You know my local shopping CENTI we've got the supermarket
• 18:52
  Speaker 9: where I get last minute groceries. You might have seen
• 18:54
  Speaker 9: me at Bailey's Bar for the quiz on a Monday
• 18:57
  Speaker 9: or Sunday night. Had a whole lot of other shops, Farmers,
• 19:00
  Speaker 9: gas station, you know, the fish and chips, the whole lot.
• 19:02
  Speaker 9: And as you can see it's a it's a busy environment,
• 19:05
  Speaker 9: little shopping center. So I think that the past track
• 19:08
  Speaker 9: process is a bad idea because communities like this deserve
• 19:12
  Speaker 9: to have us say about what goes in their backyard.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: So is here a Nimby and a Nimby backer nine
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: to nine two lots of text on PD professional development too.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: We'll get to those shortly. Twenty two to six reporters
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: around the country. Collums in Dunedan Collum, Good morning, morning, right,
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: A big discussion about the future of woolah.
• 19:34
  Speaker 10: This is happening around at Otaga and Southend at the
• 19:36
  Speaker 10: moment with the Federated Farmers Meet and Wool Chair Richard Dawkins.
• 19:40
  Speaker 10: He's discussing its future at workshops around the region. He's
• 19:45
  Speaker 10: a meeting with industry leaders to comprehend what's next and
• 19:49
  Speaker 10: try and engage farmers in the future of strong wool.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: A lot.
• 19:52
  Speaker 10: This comes as the wool sector has fallen from as
• 19:54
  Speaker 10: much as sixty five percent of sheep income in the
• 19:56
  Speaker 10: eighties to just one or two percent today. Despite that,
• 20:00
  Speaker 10: though New Zealand still produces ten percent of the world's
• 20:03
  Speaker 10: strong wool, Dawkins says new investment and innovations, creating opportunities.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Farmers need to get behind the change makers.
• 20:10
  Speaker 10: He says, there's reason to hope that our strong wool
• 20:13
  Speaker 10: industry has turned a corner. He's in Balcluther and Middlemarch today.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: All right, good to know. How's your weather.

  Speaker 12: Yes News Talk ZBS learned MZTA is planning to resurface
• 21:31
  Speaker 12: several kilometers of the road north of Potadua. That's likely
• 21:34
  Speaker 12: meaning lane closures during the day and full closures at
• 21:36
  Speaker 12: night while work is carried out from October till March.
• 21:39
  Speaker 12: It comes just three and a half years after the
• 21:41
  Speaker 12: one point twenty five billion dollar highway belatedly opened and
• 21:45
  Speaker 12: relates to a legal battle with one of the road's

  Speaker 12: builders over unfinished work and quality issues.

  Speaker 2: Yeah, there have been problems having there, but damn it's

• 21:57
  Speaker 12: The high fourteen degrees brilliant.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Thank you and Neva is an all time for us
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: this morning. Twenty away from six here on news talks,
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: there'd been neva good morning to good Morning. Have you
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: ever done professional development? A professional development course?
• 22:10
  Speaker 13: No, would be too sure.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: I just assume there are none for radio. I've never had.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: I've never been sent on one, but you do hear
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: of lots of people doing it. And there's this story
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: out this morning on teachers who are doing professional development.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: You would have read this, yes, and actually it doesn't
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: do much well.
• 22:28
  Speaker 13: Do you think we should get you know, like, it
• 22:30
  Speaker 13: would be nice to do a course or a refresher.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: I reckon too, because it's basically just a day off work.
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: Isn't it wouldn't it be?
• 22:37
  Speaker 13: But what would they teach us how to enunciate eight?
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: You probably and not swear off the radio, which you
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: are obviously far better at than I am. But it
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: is true, but no, but.
• 22:47
  Speaker 13: You are so good at other things like what taking off?
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: The turning up comedy? Hey, what's going on? There's a
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: bit of a celebration for OFT.
• 22:59
  Speaker 13: I didn't know about this and I saw it in
• 23:00
  Speaker 13: the news. I thought, wow, look, celebrating half a century
• 23:03
  Speaker 13: of relations between New Zealand and the Association of Southeast
• 23:06
  Speaker 13: Asian Nations. This is SCN forum meeting in Auckland today.
• 23:10
  Speaker 13: So this is marking fifty years and it's aiming to
• 23:13
  Speaker 13: increase two way trade obviously to fifty billion dollars. So
• 23:17
  Speaker 13: the forum here in Auckland is going to hear from
• 23:19
  Speaker 13: obviously the Trade Investment Minister. There'll be diplomatic and business
• 23:23
  Speaker 13: leaders here as well, and lots of those big discussions
• 23:27
  Speaker 13: overcoming trade barriers, working with the digital economy, trying to
• 23:30
  Speaker 13: be upfront and you.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: Know, brilliant. And with that, how's our weather, baby?
• 23:34
  Speaker 13: Professional development?
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Maybe do you think find apart.
• 23:37
  Speaker 13: From a chance of an afternoon shower rain tonight though,
• 23:39
  Speaker 13: but very warm? Eighteen eighteen is how high all that's
• 23:43
  Speaker 13: getting up there, isn't it?
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: It is thanks neither good to see yep, Ryan, My
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: wife is a teacher of thirty years. She lives for
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: the job and totally embraces PD. But she has been
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: thrown into a six month professional development course. What her
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: feedback so far is that the course is completely irrelevant
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: to teaching in New Zealand in the twenty twenties. It's
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: run by an outfit that actually has nothing to do
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: with teaching, and they're using American teaching techniques. So what
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: is the point in that Thanks for your text? Ryan,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: the speaker for professional development costs at least two hundred
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: dollars per day. You pay a reliever three hundred dollars
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: a day, plus you add into that your accommodation and
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: your travel costs. It would be better if they did
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: PD and the holidays because students wouldn't miss so much
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: time in the classroom. Love the show. This is signed
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: by someone who's their initials are PD. I'm not sure
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: if that's a joke. It is seventeen minutes away from six.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: We're in the US. Next, if you run a small business,
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: you know the pain of waiting to get paid. You
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: finish the job, you send the invoice, and then you
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: spend weeks chasing people up like some sort of debt collector.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: Zero's Tap to Pay, powered by Stripe, changes all of this.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: Your customer taps their card on your phone and bam,
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: you're paid on the spot. No fancy payment terminal need.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: As the Zero accounting app. Here's the really smart though.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Once the payment goes through, the invoice is automatically marked
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: as paid in zero. It's ready to be reconciled. That
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: means less admin for you for everyone, less marking around
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: with paperwork, more time running your actual business, which is
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: what you want to be doing. It's secure, it's instant,
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: It keeps your cash flow moving instead of grinding to
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: a holt every month. Accept payments on the spot as
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: soon as the jobs complete. No more awkward I'll get
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: that invoice to you conversations. For small businesses, this could
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: genuinely be a game changer. Less time chasing late payments,
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: more time focusing on what you do best. Supercharge your
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: business with zero tap to pay getting paid. Just got
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: a whole lot easier search, zero tap to pay.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: International correspondence with ends and eye insurance. Peace of mind
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: for New Zealand business supermarkets.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Next first, another school shooting in the US, this time
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Minneapolis at a Catholic school. Our reporter is Tony Waterman,
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: our US correspondent joining us, Tony, what's the life.
• 26:00
  Speaker 14: On this Well, just an absolutely horrific situation playing out
• 26:05
  Speaker 14: early this morning. The school was actually at mass it
• 26:09
  Speaker 14: was the first week of school. They were there celebrating
• 26:11
  Speaker 14: the start of a new school year, and according to officials,
• 26:14
  Speaker 14: a gunman came up to the side of that church
• 26:18
  Speaker 14: and shot through the windows directly at students. Two children
• 26:23
  Speaker 14: have now been confirmed dead, eight and ten years old,
• 26:27
  Speaker 14: killed essentially while sitting in the pew of a church praying.
• 26:31
  Speaker 14: Fourteen other children were injured. Officials say that two of
• 26:35
  Speaker 14: them are in critical condition right now, and also three
• 26:38
  Speaker 14: adults were injured. Officials say that the shooter acted alone
• 26:42
  Speaker 14: and then it seems as if he shot himself self
• 26:46
  Speaker 14: inflicted gun wound. They say he was in his early twenties,
• 26:49
  Speaker 14: that he does not have an extensive criminal history, but
• 26:52
  Speaker 14: he really showed up there fully prepared for this. Police
• 26:57
  Speaker 14: say that he showed up with a rifle and a
• 26:59
  Speaker 14: p hiss still and that he was firing all three
• 27:01
  Speaker 14: of the weapons that he had on hand.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: I know it's early, Tony, but any idea why or
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: whether it was a former student or anything like that.
• 27:09
  Speaker 14: Officials said they don't know if this is a former
• 27:11
  Speaker 14: student or a former employee at the school. They said
• 27:14
  Speaker 14: that he left behind a vehicle that they are searching
• 27:16
  Speaker 14: through trying to get any sort of information they can
• 27:19
  Speaker 14: about what a potential motive would be in this case.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: All right, Tony, appreciate that update. Tony Waterman, a US correspondent,
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: This morning. It is twelve to six. Rand Labour's on
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: the attack this morning over groceries. Consents to build new
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: supermarkets are going in the express lane. Thank you, Nichola Willis.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: This is from years to months predatory pricing laws will
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: They're getting a beef up and Willis is keeping a
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: sledgehammer in her back pocket. A threat to break up
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: the duopoly still a live option, adding the Williams's Labour's
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Commerce consumer Affairs spokespersing with me this morning, good.
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: Morning, good morning for having met.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Great to have you. So you guys fired off for
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: press release yesterday, saying Nikola Willis has been dithering for
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: two years, didn't you guys have six?
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: No, it has taken her a long time to actually
• 28:03
  Speaker 7: action any of the findings of the Commus commission study.
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: And let's take a look at what they recommended there.
• 28:08
  Speaker 7: They found how entrenched the problems with will wors some
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: food stuffs controlling around ninety percent in the market and
• 28:14
  Speaker 7: pulling more than a million dollars a day and excess
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: profits every year between twenty fifteen and twenty nineteen. Now
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: is not the time to land on regulatory solutions which
• 28:23
  Speaker 7: actually benefit the supermarket duopoly and won't increase real competition.
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: We need to see action to make sure that grocery
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: prices are coming down for New Zealanders who were promised
• 28:32
  Speaker 7: that by the National Party at the election.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: All right, fear so, let's just be clear about what
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: exactly you support and you don't the consents. Are you
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: on board with what she's saying?
• 28:40
  Speaker 7: The fast try a system makes sense and maintaining rules
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: changing in this circumstance is going to be a good thing.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: Predatory pricing beefing up. You're on board with that.
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: We need to see the detail of that. You could
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: do this regulatory reform in a way which actually benefited
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: the supermarket duopoly. I mean they've picked the option where
• 29:01
  Speaker 7: it will be illegal for dropping prices, so consumers aren't
• 29:05
  Speaker 7: going to see lower prices out of that one.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: You have said, this is tinkering, it's weak. What are
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: you saying exactly you would break up the DUOPOLYI divestment.
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: We're saying that of the regulatory options which are available
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: in Likeiluillis and over in the labor patty, we have
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: been working on a suite of those, this is the
• 29:23
  Speaker 7: one that she has chosen which will lead to more
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: profitable stores for the existing supermarket jopy. I don't know
• 29:29
  Speaker 7: how they ended up on at least competition in the
• 29:32
  Speaker 7: market and more profitable stores, but those are the choices
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: that they have made with the suite of options that
• 29:38
  Speaker 7: were made available to them.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: But you're not telling us what you would do differently,
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: What would you break up? Would you go for divestment?
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: Is that what LABOR is seriously looking at.
• 29:46
  Speaker 7: Labor was investigating its divestment options under the Commerce Commission's
• 29:50
  Speaker 7: study when we launched it into the grocery sector. That's
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: no secret. We thought about the change that it would
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: make in our money.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: But it's a list of problem you've spent six years
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: thinking nothing.
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: Okay, we launched a comments.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: Study into safety of thinking.
• 30:09
  Speaker 7: We unearthed a very cozy market there, made serious reform
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: under the Grocery Commissioner and brought in a grocery code
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: which is resulting in prosecutions. Now. Prices have come down,
• 30:19
  Speaker 7: particularly around the unfair pricing techniques that are going on
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: in store, things like fake specials, because of that work.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: All right, Adi, I appreciate your time this morning. Thanks
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: for being on the program. Adian and Williams's labors spokesperson
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: for Commerce and Consumer Affairs. Do you think, I mean,
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: it's sure it's a cozy market. Do you think anything's
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: going to change? Nine to six News Talks THEB The.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: News you Need this Morning and the in depth Analysis
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Early edition with Ryan Bridge and one Root Love Where
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: You Live.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: News Talks B seven to six On News Talks, there
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: be a lot of people are giving me flat. I
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: just sort of wrote off professional development. This is an
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: Aero report came out this morning on teachers saying half
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: of teachers got nothing, report that they are not completely
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: clear about how to use what they learned during professional development.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: A third say there was little improvement to their practice,
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: and a quarter say it doesn't lead to much improvement
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: and student out comes at all. So I just said
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: it's a waste of time. This person says, actually, they're
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: hugely valuable to our primary school and secondary school teachers.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: I'm an admin and I envy the courses our teachers
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: are Privy two chairs, Elizabeth. So there you go.
• 31:24
  Speaker 15: Just stop what racking people up in the teaching profession
• 31:29
  Speaker 15: and let them get on with their job. Just because
• 31:31
  Speaker 15: you've not turned out to be that good doesn't mean
• 31:33
  Speaker 15: that others don't want to try and improve.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: If I wasn't that good, would I be sitting next
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: to Mike Hosking? That's my question? Very professional development?
• 31:43
  Speaker 15: Of course, not, of course not.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: I don't think they have it in radio.
• 31:46
  Speaker 15: No, they don't. And that's the problem with radio, isn't it.
• 31:48
  Speaker 15: I could give you some names too, but do.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: You know what my professional development is? Probably just being
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: in your presence?
• 31:54
  Speaker 7: Mind?
• 31:54
  Speaker 15: I reckon, there's a bit of osmosis going on. I
• 31:57
  Speaker 15: think I'm rubbing off Hope. Did you watch yesterday?
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: I did?
• 32:01
  Speaker 15: Right, So here's here's your first problem. Why was no
• 32:03
  Speaker 15: one in the room from the media asking something like
• 32:07
  Speaker 15: everything you've just said you've said before, So why aren't
• 32:12
  Speaker 15: you doing anything? Or why did you need an RFI
• 32:15
  Speaker 15: when you knew what the problem was? And how many
• 32:17
  Speaker 15: people do you want to ask the same question to
• 32:19
  Speaker 15: to do nothing to before you actually do something or
• 32:22
  Speaker 15: words to that effect.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but she said it as early as March about
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: the fast track for supermarkets, and.
• 32:29
  Speaker 15: How embarrassing is it that all the and little don't
• 32:32
  Speaker 15: even want to take part, thus confirming what people like
• 32:35
  Speaker 15: me have said all along is sadly rightly or wrongly,
• 32:38
  Speaker 15: the market's too small, tiny little country, bottom of the world,
• 32:40
  Speaker 15: five million people plus.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: You talked to Costco. Was the managing director of Costco
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: when they came to New Zealand said it was exactly that.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: It was your consents and your resource consents, but also
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: the price of land and shipping frequency.
• 32:53
  Speaker 15: We've finally agreed. I think universally that the PaperWorks a problem,
• 32:57
  Speaker 15: the red tapes of problem. So sort it out, do something.
• 33:00
  Speaker 15: So she didn't even announce yesterday she's doing anything. She's
• 33:03
  Speaker 15: going to do something. The worst part of it was
• 33:06
  Speaker 15: the business of the company that's doing the research into
• 33:09
  Speaker 15: breaking up the market, which she won't do, by the way,
• 33:12
  Speaker 15: but the company that's looking into breaking up the market
• 33:15
  Speaker 15: is the same company that did the same work for labor,
• 33:19
  Speaker 15: So there's already a report. She's paying them twice to
• 33:21
  Speaker 15: do the same thing. Then they said when's the report.
• 33:25
  Speaker 15: She goes, I don't have a date on that. So
• 33:26
  Speaker 15: she doesn't have a date on it. She hasn't done it.
• 33:28
  Speaker 15: So what she actually done.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: And the big kick out of all of this is
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: that act will never go for it. So this government
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: will never do anything more than what they have said today.
• 33:37
  Speaker 15: Everyone should ask is when you're run into Nicola next
• 33:40
  Speaker 15: time at the supermarket? Is is anything in your trolley cheaper?
• 33:43
  Speaker 15: Because of her presence in this debate and the answer
• 33:46
  Speaker 15: is no. What a waste of time.
• 33:49
