0:49
Speaker 3: He's the bloke that's housing Trump's illegal immigrants. They've had
0:53
Speaker 3: a week chat and.
0:55
Speaker 4: We appreciate working with you. It's because you want to
0:58
Speaker 4: start grime and serve a we and it's very very effective.
1:03
Speaker 4: And I wanted to see a lot of the people
1:05
Speaker 4: of El Salvador and said they have one hell of
1:07
Speaker 4: a president. We're pretty eager to help.
1:10
Speaker 3: We know that you have.
1:14
Speaker 5: A crank problem, a terrorism problem that.
1:17
Speaker 6: You need help with, and we're small country than we can.
1:20
Speaker 3: Help them do it. Meanwhile, and this is a bit
1:23
Speaker 3: of a worry for the markets this morning. I'll just
1:25
Speaker 3: give you an update on them shortly. But Trump has
1:27
Speaker 3: come out and said what Lutnik said at the weekend.
1:30
Speaker 3: So the Chinese made smartphones and other electronics being exempt
1:34
Speaker 3: from tariffs, he's now saying they are simply moving into
1:37
Speaker 3: a different levy bucket. European stock markets bounced on Monday
1:41
Speaker 3: morning after the official announcement that some electronic products would
1:44
Speaker 3: escape levies up to one hundred and forty five percent
1:47
Speaker 3: in China. China has called on Trump to completely cancel
1:50
Speaker 3: the tariff regime and return to quote the right path
1:53
Speaker 3: of mutual respect.
1:55
Speaker 4: We want to make our chips and so we conductors
1:58
Speaker 4: and other things in our country. And I will tell
2:00
Speaker 4: you another one is pharmaceutic those drugs and pharma suit
2:04
Speaker 4: of bos. We want to make our drugs in this country,
2:07
Speaker 4: and by placing a tariff on the companies that are
2:11
Speaker 4: not in this country, they're going to move into our
2:13
Speaker 4: country and we're going to have our drugs made in
2:15
Speaker 4: the United States.
2:17
Speaker 3: And an all female crew including pop star Katie Perry,
2:20
Speaker 3: have landed back on Earth after traveling to space on
2:22
Speaker 3: Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin rocket. Flight lasted eleven minutes reached
2:27
Speaker 3: a height of about one hundred kilometers above Earth. They
2:30
Speaker 3: were only up there for three minutes. Katie Perry chose
2:33
Speaker 3: to sing.
2:35
Speaker 7: I've covered that song in the past, and obviously, like
2:40
Speaker 7: my higher self is always steering the ship, because I
2:42
Speaker 7: had no clue that one day I would decide to
2:45
Speaker 7: sing a little bit of that in space.
2:47
Speaker 2: But I think that it's not about me.
2:50
Speaker 8: It's not about singing my songs.
2:53
Speaker 7: It's about a collective energy in there. It's about us,
2:56
Speaker 7: It's about making space for future women.
3:00
Speaker 3: Oh God, Louis Armstrong, what a wonderful world. That's the
3:03
Speaker 3: song she sang in space.
3:07
Speaker 1: Get ahead of the Headlines on early edition with Ryan
3:11
Speaker 1: Bridge and one roof Make Your Property Search Simple News
3:15
Speaker 1: Talk z'd be.
3:16
Speaker 3: I'm even sure you can say they went well. Then
3:17
Speaker 3: technically they went to space. They went to the Carmen Line,
3:20
Speaker 3: which is the internationally recognized boundary of space, and floated
3:24
Speaker 3: weightlessly for three minutes. Would you say you've been to space?
3:29
Speaker 3: I guess you have. If you're weightless, you've been to space.
3:31
Speaker 3: Apparently when they were up there, one passenger could be
3:34
Speaker 3: heard saying, oh my goodness. Another one could be heard saying,
3:37
Speaker 3: I love you, Jeff Bezos. Presumably that would have been
3:40
Speaker 3: his fiance, because his fiance, Laurence Sanchez was up there
3:43
Speaker 3: with them. Anyway, good news this morning. Forty three applications
3:48
Speaker 3: in two weeks for the Golden Investment Scheme VISA not bad,
3:52
Speaker 3: not bad. That's basically really wealthy people wanting to move here,
3:56
Speaker 3: which is good. The last one, this was the one
3:59
Speaker 3: the Labor government reduced. They had one hundred applications in
4:02
Speaker 3: two and a half years. So to get forty three
4:04
Speaker 3: applications in a couple of weeks, you'd have to say,
4:06
Speaker 3: is pretty good. You have to put to get this
4:10
Speaker 3: five million dollars down and spend a week here every
4:15
Speaker 3: year for the first three years, and then basically you've
4:17
Speaker 3: got your residency and you must invest that money directly
4:20
Speaker 3: into New Zealand companies. This is good because people with
4:24
Speaker 3: money generally spend it, and generally this is good for everybody.
4:27
Speaker 3: Some immigrant immigration agents already reckon, we could get five
4:31
Speaker 3: or six hundred applications annually. But the foreign buyer band
4:35
Speaker 3: they reckon is becoming a problem. And this is where Winston.
4:38
Speaker 3: I mean, they've got a few things to talk about
4:40
Speaker 3: Winston and Luxeon, don't they, But this is where he
4:43
Speaker 3: needs to come in and basically get on board. Last
4:47
Speaker 3: time I asked Nikola Willis about this, she said, there
4:49
Speaker 3: are leader to leader talks between Winston and Luxon. There
4:54
Speaker 3: are talks going on about potentially bringing back moving the
5:00
Speaker 3: foreign buyer band, but taking the minimum from two million
5:03
Speaker 3: up to five million dollars. So you're talking your coastal
5:06
Speaker 3: mansions and your you know, your stone manors near Queenstown.
5:10
Speaker 3: So the sooner that cabinet gets on and agrees to that,
5:12
Speaker 3: the bet at Winston just needs to have a chat
5:14
Speaker 3: with his boss, basically, and he is the boss, by
5:18
Speaker 3: the way, despite what it might have sounded like yesterday,
5:20
Speaker 3: I don't know if you saw that press conference. I'll
5:22
Speaker 3: tell you more about that a little later on. Coming
5:24
Speaker 3: up next, we're going to talk to Grant Webster. He's
5:26
Speaker 3: the chief executive at Tourism Holdings. We've spoken to him before.
5:29
Speaker 3: Is now the right time to be spending thirteen and
5:32
Speaker 3: a half million dollars encouraging international visitors coming to New Zealand,
5:37
Speaker 3: particularly we're given the precarious state of the global economy.
5:42
Speaker 3: Are people looking to travel right now or are they
5:44
Speaker 3: hunkering down to eleven after five?
5:47
Speaker 2: That's next News and Views you trust to start your
5:50
Speaker 2: day is Billy Edition with Ryan Bridge and One Room
5:54
Speaker 2: Make your Property Search Simple? Can you's talk said?
5:58
Speaker 3: Be good morning, It is five fourteens have been all
6:00
Speaker 3: over the place this morning. This after the tech tariff
6:04
Speaker 3: back down. I guess you the back down to the
6:06
Speaker 3: back down, the reversal of the backdown. So the S
6:09
Speaker 3: and P five hundred was up and early trading was
6:11
Speaker 3: up one and a half a one point two percent.
6:13
Speaker 3: Nasdaq was up that was at one point three. Dal
6:17
Speaker 3: Jones was up point eight. Anyway, they've all come back
6:20
Speaker 3: after Trump confirmed what Lutnik said at the weekend, which
6:23
Speaker 3: is basically this is this reprieve is only going to
6:26
Speaker 3: be temporary, and those particular you know, the cell phones,
6:31
Speaker 3: the Apple iPhones, all these things are just going to
6:34
Speaker 3: be put into a different levy basket. So's it's all over.
6:38
Speaker 3: The show doesn't know if it's Arthur and Martha. About
6:40
Speaker 3: half an hour ago when I checked the SMP was
6:42
Speaker 3: point three, Nasdak was flat, so that was from a
6:46
Speaker 3: high of two to flat, and the dal Jones point
6:48
Speaker 3: one just gone quarter past five z B. Now the
6:53
Speaker 3: government's coughing up thirteen and a half million dollars for
6:56
Speaker 3: a new global marketing campaign to attract tourists to New Zealand.
6:59
Speaker 3: This comes at the number of international visitors dropped two
7:02
Speaker 3: percent in February compared with last year, though that was
7:05
Speaker 3: largely to do with the timing of the Chinese New Year.
7:08
Speaker 3: We're still only at eighty five percent of pre COVID overall.
7:12
Speaker 3: Chief Executive Tourism Holdings Grant Websters with me, Hi Grant.
7:16
Speaker 9: Good morning, welcome back to the morning.
7:18
Speaker 3: Thank you good to be here. So is now a
7:21
Speaker 3: good time to be spending coin on advertising for international
7:24
Speaker 3: tourism direcon.
7:27
Speaker 9: Yes, I do. Obviously I'm somewhat biased, but it's a
7:30
Speaker 9: very competitive market out there, and often in New Zealand
7:34
Speaker 9: we think people just come, you know, because we're a
7:36
Speaker 9: great country, which we are, but we're well less than
7:39
Speaker 9: one percent of world tourism, so you know, we have
7:42
Speaker 9: to compete.
7:43
Speaker 3: Did you see a boost from the campaign that they
7:46
Speaker 3: launched in Australia. You know that everyone must Go campaign
7:48
Speaker 3: that everyone made fun of. Did it work as you
7:51
Speaker 3: have you seen any evidence of it working.
7:54
Speaker 9: Look, there has been some commentary in the market that
7:57
Speaker 9: some people have it's a very difficult time year on
8:00
Speaker 9: year comparisons because East is obviously so late relative to
8:05
Speaker 9: last year. There's no major events in winter, so it's
8:08
Speaker 9: quite hard to get a direct comparison out of Australia
8:11
Speaker 9: for US at that time. It's not a big market
8:13
Speaker 9: for US. We turn domestic at that time, so not noticeable.
8:16
Speaker 9: But there has been some positive commentary in the industry.
8:19
Speaker 3: How is domestic going?
8:22
Speaker 9: Oh, look, it's okay, it's okay. It's not something to
8:26
Speaker 9: write home about. But we're not in the doldrums about it.
8:30
Speaker 9: It's okay.
8:31
Speaker 3: What markets do you reckon we should be targeting because
8:33
Speaker 3: they're talking China, they're talking Australia in the US, India, Germany,
8:37
Speaker 3: South Korea, India less so, but as an emerging market
8:40
Speaker 3: in South Korea.
8:42
Speaker 9: I think that feels really good. Actually, the tourists in
8:46
Speaker 9: New Zealand's get the information on forward bookings, they get
8:49
Speaker 9: the information on who's got the most active considerers for
8:52
Speaker 9: New Zealand. So they're targeting where the fish are. So
8:55
Speaker 9: I think that's the right thing to do. They feel
8:57
Speaker 9: like the right markets.
8:58
Speaker 3: How worried are you, Grant about the slowdown, you know,
9:02
Speaker 3: the global general global slowdown that will inevitably come from
9:06
Speaker 3: these tariffs.
9:09
Speaker 9: Yeah. Look, I think the volatility and uncertainty is I know,
9:14
Speaker 9: those of words everybody's using, but no, look that it
9:17
Speaker 9: is concerning on a global basis. You know, people put
9:20
Speaker 9: their hands in their pockets very quickly. We know that.
9:23
Speaker 9: We certainly see and we've talked about this that Europeans
9:26
Speaker 9: going into the US because we've obviously got business up
9:29
Speaker 9: there that's really dropped off. Will that balance out with
9:33
Speaker 9: domestic in the US. I don't know. So yeah, we
9:36
Speaker 9: watch and wait and see. Definitely. In the past we've
9:41
Speaker 9: seen things recover quite quickly when there's been a bit
9:44
Speaker 9: of a pause. But we'll see. You have to see
9:46
Speaker 9: what happens this time.
9:47
Speaker 3: All right, Grant, Hey, take care, best of luck, Thanks
9:49
Speaker 3: for coming on the program. As always, Grant, we've chief
9:51
Speaker 3: Executive Terrorism Holdings. It's eighteen after five year on news
9:54
Speaker 3: talks therebs so Auckland Council has agreed to buy twelve
9:59
Speaker 3: hundred homes the ones that got hit by the floods,
10:01
Speaker 3: like the Auckland Anniversary floods got whacked. There's actually one
10:05
Speaker 3: down the road from my house and they are clearing
10:07
Speaker 3: the land at the moment on a lot of these places.
10:10
Speaker 3: What are they going to do with it? Next?
10:12
Speaker 1: We'll find out, Ryan Bridge on Nafili edition where one
10:17
Speaker 1: roof make your property search simple.
10:19
Speaker 9: Uth talg Zibby.
10:21
Speaker 3: It is twenty after five twenty news talk zaib are
10:24
Speaker 3: just too Russia for a second. So obviously they're back
10:26
Speaker 3: to well they never stopped, but absolutely hammering Ukraine, just
10:31
Speaker 3: lobbing everything they can at it, basically while they can.
10:34
Speaker 3: And Zelensky has said to Trump, come and visit, Please
10:37
Speaker 3: come and have a look at what they are doing.
10:40
Speaker 3: And at the same time as you've got that going on,
10:43
Speaker 3: you've got Russia planning for a spring offensive if they're
10:46
Speaker 3: not showing no signs of going anywhere or backing down.
10:49
Speaker 3: And at the same time that all that is happening,
10:52
Speaker 3: you've got this Reuter's report that says there are business leaders,
10:57
Speaker 3: business executives in the EU who are worry, reried, about
11:00
Speaker 3: gas supply, which is fair because they had the gas
11:03
Speaker 3: crisis twenty two to twenty three. Remember that prices shot
11:06
Speaker 3: up through the sky and the US plugged the gap.
11:12
Speaker 3: Now you've got Trump using energy as part of a
11:16
Speaker 3: bargaining as a bargaining chip in his tower of trade war.
11:21
Speaker 3: So these guys in Europe and their head officers are
11:23
Speaker 3: sitting around talking, well, do we start importing from Putin again?
11:29
Speaker 3: Do we start getting gas from gas prompt? So whatever
11:33
Speaker 3: outcome Trump was hoping for, surely that is not one
11:37
Speaker 3: that you want. Twenty one after five News Talk z'd
11:42
Speaker 3: be Augan Council's voted on the future of land destroyed
11:45
Speaker 3: by floods. By the end of this year, more than
11:47
Speaker 3: twelve hundred high risk homes will have been purchased at
11:50
Speaker 3: a cost of three hundred and fifty two million dollars,
11:53
Speaker 3: and a large amount of the land will be retained
11:56
Speaker 3: for flood resilience. Mace wards with Auckland Council's recovery off
12:00
Speaker 3: is with me now, Mace, Good.
12:01
Speaker 8: Morning, Good morning, Ryan.
12:03
Speaker 3: Quite a bit of land. Where is it all in
12:06
Speaker 3: clumps or is it individual properties randomly spread out? What
12:09
Speaker 3: are we talking?
12:11
Speaker 8: It's a mix, I guess. So there are some clusters
12:15
Speaker 8: of properties that are in clumps of areas that were
12:18
Speaker 8: really adversely affected during those twenty twenty three storms, and
12:21
Speaker 8: then then those areas spread across the region where either
12:25
Speaker 8: landslipe or flooding arequed.
12:27
Speaker 3: Where does the money come from? Because it's quite a chunk.
12:31
Speaker 8: That is a chunk, and just for those twelve hundred properties,
12:34
Speaker 8: it's over one point two billion dollars between the Crown
12:39
Speaker 8: and the council funding. So it's a significant investment in
12:44
Speaker 8: future resilience for Auckland and ensuring people are removed from
12:47
Speaker 8: that intolerable risk to life that was so critical during
12:50
Speaker 8: that time. So the money comes from the Crown and ratepayers,
12:54
Speaker 8: so it's fifty to fifty funding split.
12:57
Speaker 3: The thirty percent I've seen that you estimate twenty percent
13:00
Speaker 3: of the land could actually be developed, so you could
13:03
Speaker 3: end up with housing on some of this land.
13:08
Speaker 8: That's correct. I mean, this really matters, So it will
13:11
Speaker 8: take time, but our current current modeling shows that with
13:15
Speaker 8: some further investment in flood resilience for example, so this
13:19
Speaker 8: is the making space for water program in a different
13:23
Speaker 8: development form than the homes that were there in a
13:27
Speaker 8: brown field sense. You know, we think there is around
13:30
Speaker 8: thirty percent that could be redeveloped for safe residential use.
13:35
Speaker 3: What happens to the rest of it? Does it just
13:36
Speaker 3: sit there? And you know as a flood zone.
13:42
Speaker 8: There's a number of options. So yes, some of it
13:45
Speaker 8: will be used for the Blue Green Network and making
13:48
Speaker 8: space for water, so it will be actually daylighting streams
13:53
Speaker 8: to make more space for water, and that those areas
13:57
Speaker 8: will be immenity for use by people when it's not flooding.
14:03
Speaker 8: So think about long linear parks downstream sides where there's
14:09
Speaker 8: walking paths and the like, but when it floods, that
14:13
Speaker 8: space is there and people will be will be safe.
14:16
Speaker 8: And other other locations, it's possible in those sporadic locations
14:22
Speaker 8: to potentially neighbors to buy that land for a non
14:26
Speaker 8: residential use, increase the size of their garden.
14:29
Speaker 3: That time, backyard, appreciate that. Thanks for your time this morning,
14:34
Speaker 3: Masward from Augand Council's Recovery office. It is twenty four
14:37
Speaker 3: minutes after five News Talks. There be will talk Luxon
14:40
Speaker 3: and Winston next the.
14:41
Speaker 1: Early edition full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News.
14:46
Speaker 3: Talks b News Talks there be it is five twenty six.
14:50
Speaker 3: Luxon's stucky, poor old Luckson, stuck between a rock and
14:53
Speaker 3: a hard place, really isn't and it's only going to
14:55
Speaker 3: get worse as we head into next year. Just when
14:58
Speaker 3: he's done dealing with David's on the Treaty Bill he
15:01
Speaker 3: never wanted to go with, but agreed to to get
15:03
Speaker 3: into government. That was shut down on Thursday, and now
15:06
Speaker 3: the fire kicks off. He's having to hose that down too.
15:09
Speaker 3: He's been hosing it down since last Friday. Now that's
15:13
Speaker 3: Winston and his big noting about how to deal with Trump. Right.
15:17
Speaker 3: The phone calls that Luxeon hastily arranged to avoid being
15:21
Speaker 3: in the House for the death of the Treaty Principal's
15:24
Speaker 3: Bill are the same phone calls that have now started
15:27
Speaker 3: this tussle with Winston. He just can't win either way.
15:31
Speaker 3: There's coalition land mines to step on. Here's the thing.
15:35
Speaker 3: Winston first made these comments last Thursday. He said Luxon
15:40
Speaker 3: should have called him or whatever the words were, so
15:42
Speaker 3: he should have just picked up the phone, called them
15:45
Speaker 3: straight away, squared it off, have it out, whatever, move on. Instead,
15:50
Speaker 3: you're trying to announce a tourism boost at SkyCity on Monday,
15:55
Speaker 3: and it's still dragging out. Some journalists in the press
15:58
Speaker 3: conference yesterday even asked Luxeon where the head apologized to
16:02
Speaker 3: Winston Peters. For goodness sakes, what an outrageous question. For
16:07
Speaker 3: the record, Luxeon gave a speech basically saying he supports
16:10
Speaker 3: free trade, big deal. We all do. Then he calls
16:12
Speaker 3: a couple of world leaders he's met and tells them
16:14
Speaker 3: he likes free trade, big deal. Guess what, that's fine
16:18
Speaker 3: because he's the Prime Minister. That's actually his job. He
16:22
Speaker 3: is the boss. Winston's just feeling a bit left out
16:26
Speaker 3: over and tong or obviously, so he's running his mouth off.
16:30
Speaker 3: What does Luxon do. Does he just have a private
16:33
Speaker 3: call and hope that Winston calms down, or does he
16:36
Speaker 3: take a harder line in public with Winston call him out,
16:40
Speaker 3: tell us he's only the Foreign Minister, not the Prime
16:43
Speaker 3: Minister and he should stay in his lane. Whatever the strategy,
16:47
Speaker 3: he needs to figure it out quick smart. As I
16:49
Speaker 3: wrote about it the weekend, Winston's only just getting started.
16:53
Speaker 3: There's an election to fight next year and he'll be
16:56
Speaker 3: unshackled from the deputy PM rains next month. Then it's
17:00
Speaker 3: all on for young and old and luxon this week
17:04
Speaker 3: has been warned.
17:06
Speaker 2: News Talk, said B.
17:07
Speaker 3: Five twenty nine on news Talk said B. Coming up,
17:10
Speaker 3: get to see Neva again. Been a long time I've
17:14
Speaker 3: missed that woman. Neva Ready, Marley will be here. We'll
17:16
Speaker 3: go to Donald Demayo in Australia and there's a new
17:19
Speaker 3: sex education guideline book come out for teachers. We'll talk
17:23
Speaker 3: to an Orca teacher about that. All ahead, News Talk
17:25
Speaker 3: said B.

18:07
Speaker 3: year on news Talks.

Speaker 10: There B.
18:08
Speaker 3: I'm Ryan Bridge. Great to be back with you this morning.
18:10
Speaker 3: I'm getting all of your lovely messages. Thank you. This
18:13
Speaker 3: one has a crack. This is from Gary, a bit
18:15
Speaker 3: of a crack at Winston because Winston's had He's had
18:18
Speaker 3: a bit of a crack at luckson morning. Ryan, welcome back.
18:22
Speaker 3: Remember Winston did not phone or discuss with the Prime
18:25
Speaker 3: Minister before he sacked our ambassador to London. Isn't this
18:29
Speaker 3: exactly the same thing that the Prime Minister has done
18:33
Speaker 3: probably less severe even all Luxeon did was give a speech.
18:37
Speaker 3: Now he's sacked one of our most high profile, high
18:39
Speaker 3: profile diplomats without even speaking to the boss. So yeah,
18:43
Speaker 3: Garrett good point. Well made twenty three minutes away.
18:46
Speaker 2: From six News Talk said be good to.
18:49
Speaker 3: Donald to my own Australia shortly right now. Callum Proctor
18:52
Speaker 3: is with us in Toneed and Cullen. Good morning, morning Ryan.
18:55
Speaker 3: A bit of excitement down there after the discovery of
18:58
Speaker 3: a threatened fish and you've got a rear penguin sighting
19:02
Speaker 3: to boot.
19:03
Speaker 11: Yeah, much excitement the fish. For a start, it's named
19:07
Speaker 11: after one of the most notorious book characters, The Gollumn
19:10
Speaker 11: galaxious fish has been found at several sites in the
19:13
Speaker 11: Waimatuku Stream. This is near in the Cargo, of course,
19:17
Speaker 11: named after Gollum from Lord of the Rings. This is
19:20
Speaker 11: due to its large eyes and preference for swampy habitat.
19:24
Speaker 11: So Doc says the fish are unique to South and
19:26
Speaker 11: so these findings reinforced the need to protect their homes.
19:30
Speaker 11: And penguin was spotted on Otago Peninsula yesterday, so the
19:34
Speaker 11: King Penguin's being cited less than ten times in New Zealand.
19:38
Speaker 3: Very cool. How's your weather.
19:40
Speaker 11: It's fine today, but cloud develops towards this evening the
19:43
Speaker 11: High thirteenth.
19:44
Speaker 3: Claire Schubert is in christge clear, good morning, good morning,
19:48
Speaker 3: welcome back, thank you, good to be back. Now your
19:50
Speaker 3: mayor has done a tour of the new stadium. Great
19:53
Speaker 3: it's nearing completion. But how do you get there?
19:55
Speaker 12: Well, that's the real question, Ryan. Look, construction of the
19:58
Speaker 12: new stadiums in its final year. Now the roof cladding
20:00
Speaker 12: is underway. The grass for the field is already been
20:04
Speaker 12: grown off site. This is a six hundred and eighty
20:06
Speaker 12: three million dollar project due to open a year from now.
20:09
Speaker 12: But the mayor yesterday admitted look public transports an issue
20:12
Speaker 12: for the city. He says he'd like to see a
20:14
Speaker 12: contingent of free buses running when a major event is
20:17
Speaker 12: on and that we need to look at the likes
20:19
Speaker 12: of Melbourne because they know how to move people around.
20:22
Speaker 13: For the Formula one, he.
20:23
Speaker 12: Says he doesn't know yet what the first event will be,
20:26
Speaker 12: with that decision lying in the hands of Venues Autotahi.
20:29
Speaker 3: It's pretty cool. I saw the footage of it yesterday.
20:32
Speaker 3: Very exciting for christ Church. How's your weather today?
20:35
Speaker 12: Som rain turning to showers. They will clear by this afternoon.
20:39
Speaker 12: Southwesterlies and a.
20:40
Speaker 2: High of twelve matt.
20:42
Speaker 3: Thank you, Claire. Max Toller is in Wellington, Max, good morning,
20:45
Speaker 3: Good morning. Now there's a sentiment for change, unsurprising in
20:49
Speaker 3: the capital. This is the mayoral race. I'm assuming yeah, correct.
20:52
Speaker 5: Our reporter Ethan Minara has got his hands on some
20:54
Speaker 5: polling done by Curia of one thousand Welling Tony in
20:58
Speaker 5: so a healthy sample size asking who they'd vote for
21:01
Speaker 5: for mayor. Unfortunately Andrew Little not included. It's all signs
21:05
Speaker 5: point to him running, but this done obviously he hasn't
21:08
Speaker 5: declared yet. Still pretty disastrous for the incumbent. Eighteen percent
21:12
Speaker 5: support for Torri Fano, to compare that thirty percent for
21:15
Speaker 5: current counselor Ray Chung. Carl Tiefenbaker. He's a local businessman
21:20
Speaker 5: who's run a few times before here and there. He's
21:22
Speaker 5: lost every time, but seems to be a viable competitor
21:25
Speaker 5: as well this time around. And you know, drawing on
21:29
Speaker 5: this theme, the business world not happy. We had a
21:31
Speaker 5: local tech boss come in on Wellington Mornings yesterday. He
21:35
Speaker 5: said he wouldn't set up business in the capital today
21:37
Speaker 5: if he had the chance. Again, we have the wrong imperatives.
21:40
Speaker 5: At a furniture store closing on Newtown this week, the
21:43
Speaker 5: act its owner blames the cycle lane on Adelaide Road.
21:46
Speaker 5: Nothing against cycle lanes or cyclists in general, but business
21:49
Speaker 5: permanently dropped thirty percent the day those car parks disappeared
21:53
Speaker 5: in that's May.
21:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think talent repellent was the word he used
21:56
Speaker 3: to describe it.
21:57
Speaker 5: That's exactly right.
21:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, Hey, how's your with him? X?
22:00
Speaker 5: Some early dresser claring to find fifteen the High Central.
22:04
Speaker 3: Thank you very much. And in Auckland, Happy day, good morning,
22:09
Speaker 3: you're back. Come back, baby, you're back home.
22:12
Speaker 13: Welcome home.
22:13
Speaker 3: It's good to be here. Good to see your smiling face.
22:17
Speaker 13: Oh, thank you, mister T. I was running around the
22:19
Speaker 13: newsroom while you know, Mex was talking, and I lost
22:22
Speaker 13: my breath because I was too busy going high fiving.
22:24
Speaker 13: Nobody could see me except for you.
22:27
Speaker 3: Lovely to see your need.
22:28
Speaker 13: How hell is that alarm?
22:29
Speaker 8: Oh?
22:30
Speaker 3: It was brutal this morning. Yeah, I forgot what I
22:33
Speaker 3: remember it. As soon as I wake up, I went, oh,
22:35
Speaker 3: that's right. As soon as you get in here.
22:38
Speaker 13: You're happy, that's right, since you get in and then
22:41
Speaker 13: you can go home and have a we net.
22:42
Speaker 3: Exactly Now, NEVA tell us about Auckland Airport all the
22:45
Speaker 3: drugs at their season.
22:46
Speaker 13: Yes, now it's good news for customs. So what's happened
22:48
Speaker 13: is that the customs officers have seen tens of millions
22:51
Speaker 13: of dollars worth of drugs. This is at Auckland Airport
22:54
Speaker 13: in the span of a week, so over the weekend.
22:56
Speaker 13: Don't think you'll remember. Fifty kilograms of met they've found
22:59
Speaker 13: in bags. This was on a flight from San fran
23:02
Speaker 13: and two kilograms were concealed in a suitcase as well.
23:05
Speaker 13: The last Tuesday officers also sees more than twenty three
23:07
Speaker 13: kilograms of meth, cocaine and unaccompanied bigs and they were
23:11
Speaker 13: from Honolulu. So customs very very happy about that. They
23:15
Speaker 13: say that the combined street value would have been about
23:17
Speaker 13: twenty nine million dollars.
23:19
Speaker 2: Woo victory.
23:21
Speaker 3: Indeed, how's the weather partley?
23:22
Speaker 13: Cloudy? Just the odd show and all the funger Puola
23:25
Speaker 13: still warm though twenty three is are high here in Auckland.
23:27
Speaker 3: It is very warm, isn't that still? And eighty percent
23:30
Speaker 3: humidity even last night, I noticed.
23:32
Speaker 13: Did you eighty percent humidity?
23:34
Speaker 3: I was considering putting the air con on for a minute. Yeah,
23:38
Speaker 3: which after the cold snap we had exactly. But isn't
23:41
Speaker 3: it neva good to see you? Neva ready? Mano in
23:43
Speaker 3: Auckland for US is eighteen minutes away from six. You're
23:46
Speaker 3: on News Talk sai'd be. The Liberal Party in Australia
23:49
Speaker 3: has released a quote hip hop disc track about Anthony
23:53
Speaker 3: Albanesi and labor. If it sounds cringe, it's because it
23:56
Speaker 3: is Dona Demeyo.
23:58
Speaker 1: Next International corresponds with ends and eye Insurance, Peace of
24:02
Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand Business.
24:04
Speaker 3: Good morning at this quarter to six on News Talk ZB.
24:07
Speaker 3: Just before we get to donnad Demayo, excuse me, just
24:10
Speaker 3: before we get to Donna Damayow, I want to play
24:12
Speaker 3: you a little clip of this disk track that the
24:14
Speaker 3: Liberal Party in Australia has decided would be a fantastic
24:17
Speaker 3: idea to win them an election, a disc track about labor.
24:20
Speaker 2: Have a listen, you need the way it is supposed
24:24
Speaker 2: to be. The money was spinding on groceries.
24:26
Speaker 3: I just want to.
24:26
Speaker 2: Bust some eggs and cheese one hundred bucks. You kid
24:29
Speaker 2: in me.
24:30
Speaker 5: It cost too much to live.
24:31
Speaker 2: The economy is looking a mess man, so we live
24:34
Speaker 2: in shape. The check labor God is still and self stressed.
24:36
Speaker 2: We need a fantasy, right stop people in the cow.
24:39
Speaker 11: I just want to put food on the table, so
24:41
Speaker 11: I'm willing to do it.
24:42
Speaker 3: I got please make it stop, Kenzy, thank you. Donadamaya
24:48
Speaker 3: is with us for reaction. Donna How Australia correspondent, Good morning,
24:52
Speaker 3: good morning to you. Are you cringing too? What is
24:56
Speaker 3: Australia doing laughing or cringing?
24:58
Speaker 1: Well?
24:59
Speaker 7: This was released on SoundCloud just after Peter Dutton's official
25:03
Speaker 7: campaign launch in Western Sydney. And I can tell you
25:06
Speaker 7: if you want some entertainment, go to the comments section
25:09
Speaker 7: on SoundCloud underneath that release of that song, and you
25:12
Speaker 7: will see the most extraordinary amount of comments and most
25:16
Speaker 7: of them are rather negative. I'm just gonna say that.
25:20
Speaker 7: So yes, the song has had about fourteen thousand streams
25:24
Speaker 7: so far. The Coalition says, you know, it's a serious
25:27
Speaker 7: message in a new format. The album cover of the
25:31
Speaker 7: song uses Anthony Albaniz's face photo shopped onto the iPhone
25:35
Speaker 7: shrug emoji that's been used to promote the song as
25:39
Speaker 7: they say as well. But we actually heard from Peter
25:42
Speaker 7: Dutton during a press conference yesterday. He hadn't even listened
25:45
Speaker 7: to it himself, which was extraordinary, But the Prime Minister
25:50
Speaker 7: was asked about it and he just said, you know what,
25:52
Speaker 7: there's lots of good Australian music around. He says the
25:55
Speaker 7: Coalition's tactics are beyond his comprehension, and the PMC well,
26:00
Speaker 7: how about voters just check out his spotify this because
26:03
Speaker 7: he's not planning on a disc track himself, and he said,
26:07
Speaker 7: I'll leave it to others to see why the Coalition
26:10
Speaker 7: consistently borrow cultures and ideas and policies from other places.
26:14
Speaker 7: So interesting words from the PM in regard to that,
26:18
Speaker 7: goodness man, interesting disc track.
26:20
Speaker 3: I heard this a video coming too, Like we've got
26:22
Speaker 3: the audio, the threatening to release the videos, so we'll
26:26
Speaker 3: look forward to that. Donna Hey tell us about this
26:28
Speaker 3: Aussie company being fined for greenwashing.
26:33
Speaker 7: Yes, on a much more serious note, we've heard from
26:37
Speaker 7: the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission that took Klawox Australia
26:40
Speaker 7: to the Federal Court over misleading claims made between June
26:44
Speaker 7: twenty twenty one and July twenty twenty three. This company
26:48
Speaker 7: is behind glad garbage bags. It's been fined eight point
26:52
Speaker 7: two five million dollars.
26:53
Speaker 2: What did it do?
26:54
Speaker 7: Falsely claimed that the products were made from recycled ocean plastics,
27:00
Speaker 7: but in fact these bags were actually made from recycled
27:04
Speaker 7: plastic that had been collected from communities in Indonesia. But
27:06
Speaker 7: these communities were up to fifty k's from the shoreline
27:10
Speaker 7: and Clorox was found to have sold about two point
27:12
Speaker 7: two million bags during this defending period and guess what,
27:15
Speaker 7: they were more expensive than its standard range. So in
27:20
Speaker 7: addition to the eight point twenty five million dollar fine,
27:23
Speaker 7: also an apology has been ordered and the company now
27:26
Speaker 7: says yes it does respect the outcome. Essentially, it was
27:30
Speaker 7: alleged that they were greenwashing and now they face that
27:34
Speaker 7: a massive fine.
27:35
Speaker 3: All right, Donna, thank you for the update. Great to
27:37
Speaker 3: have you on again, Dona Tomorrow, our Australia correspondent. It
27:40
Speaker 3: is twelve to six news Talk said be now a
27:44
Speaker 3: new six education curriculums being put out for consultation by
27:48
Speaker 3: the government. Children from year four will learn about consent,
27:52
Speaker 3: gender stereotypes and inclusion, while high school aged kids will
27:57
Speaker 3: learn about sexual violence and menstruals cycles and STIs. Carl
28:02
Speaker 3: Bruton's the president at Auckland Primary Principles Association with me
28:05
Speaker 3: this morning. Carl, Good morning, Good morning, Ryan. Good to
28:08
Speaker 3: have you on. So anything out of the ordinary in this.
28:12
Speaker 6: To be honest, I haven't had a look at the
28:13
Speaker 6: actual content of the of the proposed curriculum and detail,
28:18
Speaker 6: but based on what you're saying, that's largely why we're
28:20
Speaker 6: doing a consultation because where some of those things are
28:23
Speaker 6: pitched doesn't quite sit with what we would expect in
28:26
Speaker 6: terms of age and stage of our little people.
28:29
Speaker 3: What's inappropriate at what age do you think?
28:32
Speaker 6: Well, if you flip it a little bit, the puvotal
28:36
Speaker 6: change is really the focus, particularly for those primary years,
28:39
Speaker 6: because we've seen particularly things like periods are happening earlier
28:42
Speaker 6: and earlier. We would see that that would be more
28:45
Speaker 6: beneficial to be talking about menstrual cycles in those younger
28:48
Speaker 6: years and just being quite upfront about that and including
28:52
Speaker 6: the boys in those conversations as well. So it just
28:54
Speaker 6: eliminates all the all the giggling and carrying on and
28:57
Speaker 6: just makes us.
28:57
Speaker 9: And normalizes it a lot more.
28:59
Speaker 6: At those early year is when you're starting to talk
29:01
Speaker 6: about things like consent and if you even were going
29:04
Speaker 6: to entertain things like sexual violence and might have you.
29:07
Speaker 6: That's certainly something for those older years. You wouldn't expect
29:09
Speaker 6: the year five student to be having those conversations.
29:11
Speaker 3: What about the big, the controversial elephant in the room
29:14
Speaker 3: that you know, kicks of the protests off and all
29:16
Speaker 3: that stuff, is the gender and the puberty blockers. Is
29:20
Speaker 3: that a primary school conversation?
29:23
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're right, it is the contentious one. We don't know,
29:28
Speaker 6: and that's that's the trouble. We are just teachers, right,
29:31
Speaker 6: we're educators. We're not really sure in terms of psychologically
29:35
Speaker 6: and the psychology behind things like gender identity where it
29:39
Speaker 6: does best fit and is it something that a school
29:41
Speaker 6: teacher should be trying to teach and grapple with. I mean,
29:44
Speaker 6: we certainly go down the road as being respectful and inclusive,
29:47
Speaker 6: and people are all prone and entitled to their opinions
29:50
Speaker 6: and views, and we should support anyone who thinks whatever
29:53
Speaker 6: they think, and you know, we just should be good
29:55
Speaker 6: to eat one another. We don't sort of get into
29:57
Speaker 6: the detail, but so it does beg the question is
30:00
Speaker 6: there something for schools to grapple with and that's why
30:02
Speaker 6: again this is this consultation should hopefully bring some clarity.
30:06
Speaker 3: Good point, Kyle, appreciate your time. Kyle Brillton, Orkrom Primary
30:08
Speaker 3: Principals Association President. It is nine minutes away from six
30:12
Speaker 3: News TALKSBB. Just by the bye, that particular issue isn't
30:16
Speaker 3: really it basically isn't addressed in these new guidelines, the
30:20
Speaker 3: puberty blockers and the gender identity and all that stuff.
30:23
Speaker 3: It's not really it's it mentions gender, It mentions gender
30:27
Speaker 3: being accepting of people, but it doesn't go into you know,
30:30
Speaker 3: am I this or am I that? And do I
30:33
Speaker 3: need drugs at all at any level from what I
30:36
Speaker 3: can see of school, primary or secondary. Nine minutes away
30:40
Speaker 3: from six you're on News Talk SBB. We'll get to
30:42
Speaker 3: the HOSK next.
30:44
Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day Early
30:47
Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and One Room to make Your
30:51
Speaker 1: Property Search Symbol News Talks B.
30:54
Speaker 3: Good morning, as six to six News TALKSB. We didn't
30:56
Speaker 3: have to look at the website of the group that
30:58
Speaker 3: TAMMITHA Paul, you know, with the Paul who wants to
31:00
Speaker 3: defund the police. She is putting out the feelers for
31:03
Speaker 3: donations to the group People Against the Prisons, and I
31:07
Speaker 3: went on their website this morning because you can follow
31:10
Speaker 3: the link from her social media. Anyway, I didn't donate,
31:13
Speaker 3: but I did have a read of the website. One
31:15
Speaker 3: of the things that they argue is unjust, it's dignified,
31:20
Speaker 3: and is a risk to the safety of our prisoners
31:24
Speaker 3: is the fact that the prison guards go round every
31:27
Speaker 3: night and check every two hours. They check on each
31:29
Speaker 3: prisoner and they shine a light shine to talk into
31:31
Speaker 3: their eyes. Now, they say this is impinging on the
31:35
Speaker 3: prisoner's dignity and their well being. The reason they do
31:40
Speaker 3: this is one obviously for security, but two to make
31:43
Speaker 3: sure that no one is harming themselves. So you can't
31:47
Speaker 3: He just can't win, can you. You just cannot win.
31:49
Speaker 3: It is five minutes away from six News Talk ZEBB
31:53
Speaker 3: and Mike is here this morning. Good morning, Mike, so
31:55

32:05
Speaker 10: they've had an update, and at this present point in time,
32:07

32:11
Speaker 10: happened was at about three twenty four, twenty five, they
32:15
Speaker 10: did whatever they were going.
32:16
Speaker 3: To do, thet's switchover, the switchover.
32:19
Speaker 10: But what I didn't realize until this is a developing story,
32:23
Speaker 10: is that it didn't all happen before twenty five. It's
32:26
Speaker 10: evolving as we rolling. It's a rolling thunder and they're
32:30
Speaker 10: scraping barnacles off the boat and so by six o'clock
32:33

33:08
Speaker 10: so so Eden is there this morning, but it's on
