0:11
Speaker 3: Morning, Welcome to Thursday. It has just gone six minutes
0:13
Speaker 3: after five luxon and pieces on Iran. There's a bit
0:17
Speaker 3: of a battle going on this morning. We'll look at
0:19
Speaker 3: that Aussie inflation peaking, what does it mean for us?
0:21
Speaker 3: Mitch's in New York, the Kings in town, will look
0:23
Speaker 3: at Nang's and a trial for poot in mouth disease
0:26
Speaker 3: starting in New Zealand. The agenda this Thursday toute the
0:31
Speaker 3: vateful Pete Higgsith. He's taking questions under oath for the
0:34
Speaker 3: first time since the war began. How is this war going?
0:37
Speaker 3: Do you think we're winning.
0:38
Speaker 4: Militarily on the battlefield? It's been an astounding military success.
0:41
Speaker 3: But are we winning the war? Absolutely? Okay?
0:43
Speaker 5: So do you call Iran closing the straight of horror
0:46
Speaker 5: moves winning?
0:46
Speaker 4: Well, I would say the blockade that we hold that
0:49
Speaker 4: doesn't allow anything to come in or out of Iranian ports, okay.
0:52
Speaker 5: So always so we blockade, They blockaded us, and then
0:57
Speaker 5: we blockaded their blockade.
0:58
Speaker 3: That's like saying you're it price of the world's spiking
1:02
Speaker 3: of and I'll give you details in a second. This
1:04
Speaker 3: is what Higgs had told reporters earlier about the cost
1:06
Speaker 3: of the war.
1:07
Speaker 4: It takes money to kill bad guys. So we're going
1:10
Speaker 4: back to Congress and folks there to ensure that we're
1:13
Speaker 4: properly funded for what's been done, for what we may
1:16
Speaker 4: have to do in the future, ensure that our ammunition
1:20
Speaker 4: is everything's refilled, and not just refilled, but above and beyond.
1:24
Speaker 3: Killing bad guys. Very expensive, indeed, one point five trillion
1:27
Speaker 3: American dollars, that's two and a half trillion keiwe to
1:31
Speaker 3: the UK. There's a stabbing two Jewish men North London.
1:34
Speaker 3: It's a terrorist incident, they're saying. The victims at one
1:37
Speaker 3: of their seventies, one in their thirties, still trying to
1:39
Speaker 3: work out the nationality. The guy who did.
1:40
Speaker 6: It, the forty five year old man, has been arrested
1:44
Speaker 6: on suspicion of attempted murder and remains in custody following
1:47
Speaker 6: a check of at the local hospital. Yeah, as a
1:50
Speaker 6: history of serious violence and mental health issues, and that
1:54
Speaker 6: investigation continues. This is an attack on one community, an
1:58
Speaker 6: attack on one community.
2:00
Speaker 3: He's an attack on all London's communities. Back to America
2:03
Speaker 3: briefly but sort of UK related. It turns out the
2:06
Speaker 3: King's quite funny. This is a state dinner yesterday, King
2:09
Speaker 3: Charles May comments about the Middle East, Trump's readjustments to
2:13
Speaker 3: the White House, and a naked Winston Churchill.
2:16
Speaker 2: It is not.
2:16
Speaker 7: Hard to see how important the relationship remains. My mother's
2:21
Speaker 7: first Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill, understood this so well.
2:26
Speaker 7: But then he himself was half American. Indeed, such was
2:29
Speaker 7: the closeness that Sir Winston, while staying here in the
2:32
Speaker 7: wait House, emerged naked from the bathtub to discover the
2:37
Speaker 7: door opening as President Roosevelt came in for a chat.
2:43
Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with
2:47
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and Spark for Business Technology that Keeps Business
2:52
Speaker 1: Moving News Talk ZB.
2:53
Speaker 3: Nine after five US Talk zib so. The price of
2:55
Speaker 3: Brin Crews shot up overnight. It's now one hundred and
2:58
Speaker 3: nineteen dollars a barrel. This is getting up to where
3:01
Speaker 3: it's the highest it's been since the war began. It's
3:04
Speaker 3: getting up there, it's pushing it. And there's a report
3:06
Speaker 3: out saying our Trump is telling his aids, telling his
3:09
Speaker 3: staff go away and figure out a way to prolong this.
3:12
Speaker 3: We might need to keep this blockade going, keep the
3:15
Speaker 3: straight closed for a while longer yet, and that's freaking
3:18
Speaker 3: people out a little bit. At the same time, you've
3:20
Speaker 3: got them asking for huge sums of money from lawmakers
3:25
Speaker 3: in Capital Hell. And what's interesting about the when we've
3:28
Speaker 3: kind of spoken about this before, but the War Powers
3:30
Speaker 3: resolution that you need approval if you're going to have
3:34
Speaker 3: a prolonged war, if you're gonna have a long war,
3:36
Speaker 3: then you need approval from Congress. And he's probably not
3:41
Speaker 3: going to get it given that it's not popular even
3:44
Speaker 3: with his own mega supporters, right, especially with his own
3:47
Speaker 3: mega supporters. So you can basically, if you're president, you
3:50
Speaker 3: can go sixty days with a war and that's fine.
3:53
Speaker 3: Anything beyond that you need the approval of Congress, and
3:56
Speaker 3: for that you need a vote. And his expiry day
4:00
Speaker 3: for the current operation is the first of May. Time
4:03
Speaker 3: as a Tickin got a couple of days, So the
4:06
Speaker 3: Senate that's Republican majority probably would get that. The houses
4:09
Speaker 3: where he'll have problems slim majority, no guarantee if a
4:13
Speaker 3: couple of his own guys flip and decide not to
4:15
Speaker 3: support the war, which is not beyond the realms of
4:18
Speaker 3: possibility at all, then he's in trouble. So on the
4:21
Speaker 3: one hand, you've got this thing could kick on for ages.
4:24
Speaker 3: On the other hand, you've got his hands potentially tied
4:28
Speaker 3: by the House in the by what's happening in Capital Health.
4:33
Speaker 3: So interesting day to watch what's going on in the States.
4:37
Speaker 3: Jet to Mitch mccalmma the latest on that. Also, he's
4:39
Speaker 3: got numbers for US Trump's approval rating now at its
4:42
Speaker 3: lowest level it has ever been in the second term,
4:44
Speaker 3: down two points to thirty four percent. He started on
4:48
Speaker 3: forty seven percent, so that will be weighing on him too.
4:51
Speaker 3: You're on News Talk zv I will get to the
4:53
Speaker 3: Luxe and v Peters over Iran story as well. At
4:57
Speaker 3: five twenty five.
5:00
Speaker 1: Bridge on early edition with Spike for business Technology that
5:04
Speaker 1: keeps business moving, News Talk ZB.
5:06
Speaker 3: Five ten News Talks across the Tasman Inflation is spiking.
5:10
Speaker 3: This is their quarter one number that was released yesterday. However,
5:13
Speaker 3: if you look at the trimmed mean, which basically takes
5:17
Speaker 3: a regular stuff, takes out volatile stuff, takes out the
5:19
Speaker 3: price of fuel three point three percent. That actually hasn't changed.
5:23
Speaker 3: So does the RBA Next week their meeting, do they
5:27
Speaker 3: do another hike? Remember that would be their third in
5:29
Speaker 3: a row over in Australia. Your mortgage is getting more
5:32
Speaker 3: expensive as well as your diesel. That is a question
5:35
Speaker 3: for them. But what is a question for us is
5:37
Speaker 3: what does the observe bank here doo and how much
5:39
Speaker 3: does what is happening their effect? What is happening here?
5:42
Speaker 3: Remember next month is our meeting, So we'll get a
5:45
Speaker 3: decision from Bremen and depending on who you ask. A
5:48
Speaker 3: and Z says they'll go July. Kelly ear Cold, he's
5:51
Speaker 3: with us at ten to six this morning. He says
5:54
Speaker 3: they're probably more likely to go September. Brian Bridge, the
5:58
Speaker 3: government's running a trial to see how red we would
6:00
Speaker 3: be your foot and mouth dies these hit our shores.
6:03
Speaker 3: We pray it doesn't. An outbreak could cost the economy
6:06
Speaker 3: more than fifteen billion bucks a year. Andrew Hoggart is
6:09
Speaker 3: the bio Security Minister, joins us this morning. Minister, good morning,
6:12
Speaker 3: good morning. Ron tell us about the farm simulation that's
6:15
Speaker 3: happening in Taranaki on the thirteenth of May. What does
6:17
Speaker 3: that involve.
6:19
Speaker 2: So that involves people going to the farm and setting
6:23
Speaker 2: up as they would if there was a quarantine, and
6:25
Speaker 2: going through the testing and all the sort of stuff
6:29
Speaker 2: that have to do if they got to someone ring
6:32
Speaker 2: up and said, oh, I've got a suspicious case here.
6:34
Speaker 2: So that's what that sort of is involving. And I
6:37
Speaker 2: guess just testing the note or the response of the team,
6:42
Speaker 2: because you think you can write the stuff down on
6:45
Speaker 2: paper and say, oh, yes, this is what we'll do
6:47
Speaker 2: until you show up and practice find out that Google
6:51
Speaker 2: Map sends you off down someone else's race or something
6:53
Speaker 2: like that when you don't know the things that could
6:56
Speaker 2: go wrong. So the whole idea is what could go wrong?
6:59
Speaker 2: What can we learn? So if ever it does happen,
7:02
Speaker 2: like you said, Pratt, never does unless we've got the
7:04
Speaker 2: response the practice to do it right.
7:08
Speaker 3: Why are we doing this now?
7:11
Speaker 2: Well, good Christian, I would have many years ago. I
7:14
Speaker 2: would have thought this is something we would have done
7:15
Speaker 2: years and years and years ago. Basically, when I got in,
7:20
Speaker 2: I found out we actually didn't have an operational agreement
7:23
Speaker 2: with industry on readiness and response. So we've done that
7:27
Speaker 2: and now we're making sure that you know we are
7:30
Speaker 2: ready and they are doing these exercises, and that we
7:33
Speaker 2: do have the knowledge and that everyone is capable of responding.
7:37
Speaker 3: A couple of years ago the Indonesians had an outbreak,
7:40
Speaker 3: Does that make the risk of one here higher?
7:45
Speaker 2: Not really. You know, we went up to a higher
7:48
Speaker 2: state of readiness then, but you know we're already. You know,
7:52
Speaker 2: the world's a very small place these days, with air
7:54
Speaker 2: travel and all the connections we've got, So there's plenty
7:59
Speaker 2: of places in the world with foot and mouth that
8:01
Speaker 2: we do get traffic from. It's just about making sure
8:03
Speaker 2: that our border security has the appropriate response to travelers
8:08
Speaker 2: from those countries.
8:09
Speaker 3: Andrew, if there is an outbreak on farm, how big
8:13
Speaker 3: does the quarantine need to be and what do we
8:15
Speaker 3: stop exporting? What happens?
8:18
Speaker 2: So I believe stretching my memory here, but I think
8:21
Speaker 2: it's about sort of a twenty kilometer zone. I could
8:24
Speaker 2: be corrected on that, but basically that's sort of the
8:27
Speaker 2: quarantine area in terms of exports. You know, the likelihood
8:32
Speaker 2: would be that on that immediate day there would be
8:36
Speaker 2: a shutdown of the entire country. But if we look
8:38
Speaker 2: at the recent outbreak in Germany, you know they managed
8:42
Speaker 2: to contain it to that one farm, and they were
8:46
Speaker 2: able to start exporting from the rest of Germany pretty
8:49
Speaker 2: quickly because Germany was able to give confidence that it
8:53
Speaker 2: was contained. So, you know, the historical assumption here in
8:57
Speaker 2: New Zealand has been would shut the entire country down
8:59
Speaker 2: until gone on top of this. But you know, we're
9:02
Speaker 2: working with other countries to show them our systems that
9:06
Speaker 2: we could say, hey, see, Houth Island's good, you can
9:09
Speaker 2: keep going from there or this part of the coundre.
9:11
Speaker 2: It's just contained to hear and if they've got confidence
9:13
Speaker 2: it's just contained to one part, then we can keep
9:16
Speaker 2: exporting from the rest of the country.
9:18
Speaker 3: Sounds like a good idea to be doing a simulation.
9:20
Speaker 3: Then Andrew Hoggard buy a security Min's the Good TV
9:23
Speaker 3: on the program seventeen after five Ryan Bridge excised farm Gate.
9:28
Speaker 3: This is thirteenth of May and Tartanaki. There's a field
9:31
Speaker 3: simulation happening. So if you do see a bunch of
9:33
Speaker 3: guys walking around with high visvest on and clipboards, don't
9:37
Speaker 3: be alarmed. It is just a practice and then there'll
9:40
Speaker 3: be a nationwide drill if you want to call it that.
9:43
Speaker 3: In July eighteen after five News Talks THEREB the Nang's next.
9:48
Speaker 1: The News You Need this Morning and the in Depth
9:51
Speaker 1: Analysis Early edition with Ryan Bridge and Spark for Business
9:55
Speaker 1: Technology that keeps Business moving News TALKSB You're.
9:58
Speaker 3: On News Talks The Bets twenty this Morning. Meta, which
10:01
Speaker 3: owns Facebook and Instagram. They are accused of breaking EU
10:05
Speaker 3: law and they've been charged now by regulators in the EU.
10:08
Speaker 3: This is them failing to prevent children under the age
10:11
Speaker 3: of thirteen from using their platforms. Does anyone surprised to
10:14
Speaker 3: hear that?
10:14
Speaker 8: No?
10:15
Speaker 3: What is the potential penalty? And you've start to add up.
10:19
Speaker 3: I mean you look at the number of jurisdiction, number
10:21
Speaker 3: of countries now where they are facing lawsuits or they
10:23
Speaker 3: are being charged by regulators, and the bill starts to
10:28
Speaker 3: tack over. Meta could be fined up to six percent
10:31
Speaker 3: of its global annual turnover if found guilty of this
10:34
Speaker 3: one charge in the EU. Rail Bridge government back home
10:39
Speaker 3: changing import rules to crack down on Nang's. You can
10:41
Speaker 3: still bring a nitrous oxide for whipping cream should you
10:44
Speaker 3: need it, but you will need sign off from the
10:46
Speaker 3: Director General of Health. Large canisters no clear use, well,
10:51
Speaker 3: they'll be treated as a psychoactive substance. Carolyn Young Retailings
10:55
Speaker 3: ed with me this morning. Carolyn. Good morning, Carolyn. And
11:00
Speaker 3: how will it work if you know you've got a
11:02
Speaker 3: caterer who wants to buy the stuff, do you need
11:04
Speaker 3: an approval every time you bring it in or do
11:05
Speaker 3: you just need one off?
11:08
Speaker 8: Look, I would imagine that some of that detail will
11:10
Speaker 8: come out shortly, but I would think that you would
11:13
Speaker 8: probably have to get approval every time you look to
11:15
Speaker 8: bring it in. And they have indicated that there is
11:18
Speaker 8: no clear use for the larger canisters, so it'll only
11:22
Speaker 8: be small canisters that people will be using. And to
11:25
Speaker 8: be honest, there's not a lot of there's not significant
11:27
Speaker 8: use of cannisters for whipping cream is used, but it's
11:31
Speaker 8: not a big seller as such, and so this will
11:35
Speaker 8: really make sure that it's clear for all retailers and
11:38
Speaker 8: consumers and it makes sure that our communities are going
11:42
Speaker 8: to be safer. So we really applaud the work that
11:45
Speaker 8: Minister Brown and Minister Mitchell have done to act on
11:48
Speaker 8: this quite quickly.
11:48
Speaker 3: So you reckon most of what we're bringing in is
11:50
Speaker 3: probably for people having a good time or a bad
11:53
Speaker 3: time and getting behind the behind the wheel of a
11:55
Speaker 3: car for sure.
11:57
Speaker 8: You know when you think about the one that they
12:00
Speaker 8: so the arrest that they made public a few like
12:03
Speaker 8: a month or two ago in Roasted where there was
12:06
Speaker 8: a retailer who had three hundred large canisters. I mean,
12:09
Speaker 8: you're just never going to sell that many too a
12:13
Speaker 8: caterer because they firstly, they're not going to buy They're
12:16
Speaker 8: not going to buy the gas from a convenience store.
12:20
Speaker 8: They're going to be buying it from a wholesaler. So
12:22
Speaker 8: really thinking about horses of courses and the Minister Mitchell's
12:26
Speaker 8: are really clear about the fact that there should be
12:28
Speaker 8: no need for any small stores to be selling this product.
12:32
Speaker 3: Carolyn, good to have you on the show this morning,
12:34
Speaker 3: as always, Carol and Young Retailing's chief executive on the Nangs.
12:37
Speaker 3: It is twenty three minutes after five.
12:39
Speaker 8: Ryan Bred.
12:40
Speaker 3: Ryan, we had to use foot and mouth protocol because
12:43
Speaker 3: we had no process. This is from Wayne Morning. Wayne.
12:46
Speaker 3: We had no process for m Bovis and this was
12:49
Speaker 3: a complete cock up. I know I was involved. We
12:51
Speaker 3: shut farms down and dealt with it. A sheer waste
12:55
Speaker 3: of money, it was, so I'm glad. I mean, there's
12:58
Speaker 3: a lot of farmers texting in this and saying, well,
13:00
Speaker 3: they're actually pleased that something is being done and surprised
13:03
Speaker 3: that nothing was done earlier. Some good news for you
13:06
Speaker 3: this morning. This is to do with our small businesses.
13:08
Speaker 3: Zero puts out these small business insights and they are
13:12
Speaker 3: interesting to follow. A trend of KEYWI small business sales
13:15
Speaker 3: were growing in March. In fact, they were up three
13:19
Speaker 3: point nine percent year on year for the March quarter,
13:21
Speaker 3: and that is the same as December of last year.
13:24
Speaker 3: And we've got more industries now going further ahead. We've
13:29
Speaker 3: got discretionary spending sectors going up, which is always a
13:32
Speaker 3: good sign. However, as always, this is sort of pre well.
13:36
Speaker 3: I suppose it touches a bit of war, doesn't it.
13:38
Speaker 3: Probably two weeks of the month of two weeks of
13:42
Speaker 3: the last month that quarter would have been war related
13:45
Speaker 3: price surges, So that would be affecting your discretionary spend
13:49
Speaker 3: as well, because the more money you're spending on petrol,
13:51
Speaker 3: the less you're spending on fun stuff. Right twenty four
13:54
Speaker 3: after five News Talk seb luxon Peters and Iran. Next
13:59
Speaker 3: the earlier.
14:00
Speaker 1: Full the Show podcast on IHARM Radio powered by Newstalks.
14:04
Speaker 3: At B five twenty six news talks ad B. This
14:07
Speaker 3: was always going to happen. The closer you get to
14:09
Speaker 3: an election, the more your friends become your enemies under MMP,
14:13
Speaker 3: your frenemies. Winston's office released OIA documents showing that Luson's
14:18
Speaker 3: people wanted to go further in supporting Trump's war in Iran.
14:23
Speaker 3: The Foreign Minister's office and m FAT, in their wisdom,
14:26
Speaker 3: cautioned against this. For most of us would probably understand
14:31
Speaker 3: to be good reasons.
14:32
Speaker 2: Right.
14:32
Speaker 3: This was straight after the war began. This is a
14:35
Speaker 3: story out in the Herald this morning, and so a
14:37
Speaker 3: spokesman for Winston Peters has said that Luckson's support for
14:41
Speaker 3: the war was imprudent and would have run counter to
14:44
Speaker 3: our national interests. They said experience matters in foreign policy. Now,
14:49
Speaker 3: after that statement was given last night, we had talks
14:53
Speaker 3: between the PM and the Foreign Minister at the Beehive.
14:55
Speaker 3: We're told bit of a crisis meeting. Luxon is heading back.
15:00
Speaker 3: He's saying that the emails mischaracterize his position. He's saying
15:04
Speaker 3: the release of the emails puts politics ahead of the
15:07
Speaker 3: national interest. So, as you can see, quite the mess.
15:11
Speaker 3: The problem here is for Luxon not for Peter's. In
15:14
Speaker 3: my view, Luxon is the one who has struggled to
15:17
Speaker 3: articulate himself on the war. Peter's is not. Luxon is
15:20
Speaker 3: the one who support whose support in the polls has
15:24
Speaker 3: been falling. Peter's is the opposite. Luxon is the one
15:27
Speaker 3: who's been there five minutes. Peter's is not. I reckon.
15:31
Speaker 3: If you were to poll Kiwis and ask who do
15:33
Speaker 3: you trust more on matters of foreign affairs in war,
15:37
Speaker 3: I imagine after forty years in Parliament and a few
15:39
Speaker 3: runs at the Foreign affairs job, Peters would probably come
15:42
Speaker 3: out on top. Try to put Peter's in his place
15:45
Speaker 3: is hard enough to do it the best of times.
15:48
Speaker 3: Trying to do it with one hand tied behind your back,
15:50
Speaker 3: the crowd sharing for your opponent on a stage of
15:54
Speaker 3: which you are unfamiliar with, probably not going to end well.
15:57
Speaker 3: Cry and Bridge twenty eight minutes after five. Now there's
16:00
Speaker 3: a report that just in the last couple of minutes
16:02
Speaker 3: of the text or parts of the text from the
16:05
Speaker 3: India Free Trade Agreement being published online. Now we're looking.
16:09
Speaker 3: I can't tell you exactly what it is at the moment,
16:11
Speaker 3: because it's literally just been handed to me, but we
16:13
Speaker 3: will look into that and come back to you as
16:14
Speaker 3: soon as we're able to confirm some stuff. What's happening
16:17
Speaker 3: in the UK is absolutely shocking. Well it should be,
16:21
Speaker 3: but it's not. We've got another terror incident. This one
16:25
Speaker 3: is in Golders Green. This is North London terrorist attack.
16:29
Speaker 3: Two Jewish men stabbed, one in his seventies, one in
16:32
Speaker 3: his thirties, and they're working to work out the nationality
16:36
Speaker 3: the background of the guy who did it. In the meantime,
16:39
Speaker 3: you've got Starma saying, well, yeah, another of those placating
16:42
Speaker 3: statements that actually mean nothing, But you cannot deny that
16:47
Speaker 3: there is a bit of a hotbed for anti Semitism
16:50
Speaker 3: in the UK at the moment, particularly in London, and
16:53
Speaker 3: the Israeli Foreign Ministry is absolutely fuming rightly so about this.
16:57
Speaker 3: Back to Heigseth for a second. He says it over
17:01
Speaker 3: in terms of how much the war will cost taxpayers,
17:03
Speaker 3: This was his line, what is.
17:05
Speaker 4: The cost of Iran having a nuclear weapon that they wheel.
17:07
Speaker 5: I'm just asking if you know the cost of the
17:09
Speaker 5: average American master you went to So for the American
17:12
Speaker 5: taxpayers out there, my constituents, some of the constituents you
17:15
Speaker 5: wanted to represent a Minnesota. I'm just wondering if they
17:17
Speaker 5: have an extra six hundred bucks lying around to p.
17:20
Speaker 2: For your war.
17:20
Speaker 3: Very expensive. Mitch McCann after News News Talks.
17:23
Speaker 6: F B.
17:33
Speaker 1: The first Word on the News of the Day early
17:36
Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and Spark for Business Technology that
17:41
Speaker 1: keeps business moving, News TALKSIB.
17:48
Speaker 3: Sexier on News Talks, it B, New Zealand being Australia,
17:51
Speaker 3: on inflation, Kelly Ychold with US before six and a
17:53
Speaker 3: quarter to Mitch McCann's state side price to bring crude
17:56
Speaker 3: this is for a barrel to be delivered into just
17:59
Speaker 3: keeps climbing overnight. We're up seven point three percent now
18:02
Speaker 3: too close to one hundred and twenty US dollars a barrel.
18:07
Speaker 3: This is Trump comes out and said, well it's through
18:09
Speaker 3: CNN and Fox also now reporting that he's gone to
18:13
Speaker 3: his officials and said, hey, we might need to do
18:16
Speaker 3: this blockade for months. And the market's sourgitery about that.
18:19
Speaker 3: As you can well imagine, this is a text from Nathan.
18:22
Speaker 3: Good morning, Nathan. So are we calling any stabbing a
18:26
Speaker 3: terrorist attack? Now? Were they just stabbed and happened to
18:29
Speaker 3: be Jewish or were they stabbed because they were Jewish?
18:32
Speaker 3: This is a good question. This is about what's happened
18:34
Speaker 3: in North London. Two people have been stabbed and police
18:37
Speaker 3: have said they're treating it as a terrorist incident. And
18:40
Speaker 3: the reason that they first answer to your first question, yes,
18:43
Speaker 3: a stabbing can be a terror attack. Doesn't matter whether
18:46
Speaker 3: you've shot them. It's a political act of violence. And
18:50
Speaker 3: if they treated it as a terrorist attack, it normally
18:52
Speaker 3: means that somebody was running at them yelling I don't
18:55
Speaker 3: know an isis you know, sympathizer or carrying a flag
18:58
Speaker 3: or something like that. There's reason that they call it
19:01
Speaker 3: a terrorist incident. If anything. In the past, governments, politicians
19:07
Speaker 3: and police have shied away from calling it a terrorist
19:10
Speaker 3: incident because they don't want to overegg the thing. So
19:13
Speaker 3: the fact that they've done that so early indicates is
19:15
Speaker 3: probably good reason to do so. Twenty two away from six,
19:19
Speaker 3: that's going to have reporters Colm into Need and morning.
19:21
Speaker 2: Colum, Morning Ryan.
19:23
Speaker 3: You got some pests and Otaga and residents are worried
19:25
Speaker 3: about them.
19:27
Speaker 9: Look they are, so the Ottaga Regional Council says it's
19:31
Speaker 9: time that they review their pest management planned, and they're
19:34
Speaker 9: asking the public which pests concern them the most and
19:38
Speaker 9: why and where they are. So so far rabbits, feral
19:42
Speaker 9: cats and coniffers are taking the lead. Also on the
19:45
Speaker 9: list at the moment possums, rats and feral pigs. We've
19:49
Speaker 9: got a lot of pests here in Otago, Ryan. The
19:51
Speaker 9: plan will set rules and targets for controlling or eliminating
19:55
Speaker 9: these pets pest species across the region and the survey
19:59
Speaker 9: from the regional open until the end of May.
20:01
Speaker 3: I saw that new Regional Council office. I got some
20:04
Speaker 3: saw the photos of it day a pretty flash coming. Well,
20:07
Speaker 3: you would hope it was.
20:08
Speaker 9: You would hope it was for fifty six million.
20:12
Speaker 3: How's your weather? Pretty good?
20:14
Speaker 9: It's the start of a long stretch of fine, settled
20:17
Speaker 9: weather here in the South. Find today like Wind's fifteenth.
20:19
Speaker 9: Same with Wellington. I wait till we get to Max.
20:21
Speaker 9: I'll ask him about the art. The art and the
20:23
Speaker 9: Wellington City Council office, my goodness, and the cost clears
20:27
Speaker 9: and christ Church morning, Claire.
20:28
Speaker 10: Good morning.
20:28
Speaker 11: I need to compete with us somehow every time.
20:33
Speaker 3: Hey, what's going on with schools in christ Church?
20:35
Speaker 11: Yeah, this is pretty sad. Actually, this is a survey
20:37
Speaker 11: done at Christchurch Girls High School, one of our main
20:40
Speaker 11: girls schools here in the city. It was commissioned in
20:43
Speaker 11: twenty twenty one and effectively was talking to the girls
20:46
Speaker 11: around sexual harassment and what that experienced in their lives,
20:49
Speaker 11: from you know, text messages right through to much worse.
20:53
Speaker 11: It did show that sixty percent of Christchurch Girls High
20:56
Speaker 11: School students had said they had been sexually harassed at
20:59
Speaker 11: some point, forty two percent said the harassment had occurred
21:02
Speaker 11: two to five times, and more than twenty of the
21:05
Speaker 11: girls had actually already experienced rape. Now the school has
21:09
Speaker 11: since developed a brand new course that it rolls out
21:11
Speaker 11: for its year eleven students. It specifically looks at consent
21:15
Speaker 11: sexual healths and of course how to deal with relationships
21:19
Speaker 11: and what a healthy relationship looks like. Now principle of girls,
21:22
Speaker 11: Hi Helen Armstrong says this has helped them to develop
21:25
Speaker 11: understanding and learn to think critically about relationships and sexuality.
21:29
Speaker 11: So as a real.
21:30
Speaker 3: Positive, how's your weather.
21:32
Speaker 11: Clouds should clear today to a fine day, northeasterly is
21:35
Speaker 11: developing and the high will.
21:36
Speaker 12: Be fifteen nice one.
21:37
Speaker 3: Thank you, Max and willing to morning.
21:38
Speaker 13: Max, Good morning.
21:40
Speaker 3: Did you see that story about one hundred and thirty
21:42
Speaker 3: thousand dollars of sculptures and art and bespoke art in
21:45
Speaker 3: the council office.
21:46
Speaker 13: Yeah, to be honest, I didn't react violently to it.
21:49
Speaker 13: The only thing I reacted violently to was the word bespoke,
21:53
Speaker 13: which just makes me completely cringe. It's one of these
21:55
Speaker 13: awful corporate trendy words that has become completely fashionable. You
22:01
Speaker 13: see it everywhere, but doesn't really mean a whole lot bespoke.
22:04
Speaker 3: I suppose you're right, because in a way, all art
22:07
Speaker 3: has bespoke, isn't it?
22:09
Speaker 13: Well exactly, it means nothing. It's just a corporate word
22:12
Speaker 13: like wellness. It doesn't really mean anything.
22:14
Speaker 3: Next, they could have gone to the warehouse and bought
22:17
Speaker 3: art that is off the shelf, you know, like a print.
22:20
Speaker 13: To be honest, that would probably be a story too
22:22
Speaker 13: if there was a painting of Live Live Laugh or
22:25
Speaker 13: something up on.
22:26
Speaker 3: The wall Live Laugh, Wellington, exactly right. What's going on
22:31
Speaker 3: there with the Ministry of Education?
22:34
Speaker 13: Yeah, interesting story in the post Mount Cook Primary School
22:36
Speaker 13: not very happy because the Ministry is stepping in to
22:39
Speaker 13: shrink its school zone to try to funnel families and
22:42
Speaker 13: kids to other undercapacity schools in the area. Parents have
22:47
Speaker 13: just held a meeting about it. They're not happy. They
22:50
Speaker 13: are happy at Mount Cook. Don't want to have to move,
22:52
Speaker 13: but it is over capacity. It's rolled three hundred and thirteen,
22:56
Speaker 13: well over its two hundred and fifty seven limits a
22:58
Speaker 13: couple of classrooms around renovation as well, so it is
23:02
Speaker 13: under pressure, but they don't want to move. The Ministry
23:05
Speaker 13: is reducing its zone to force families to move to
23:10
Speaker 13: other nearby schools. Grandparenting as well as something that allows
23:14
Speaker 13: younger siblings to enroll at the same school is also
23:16
Speaker 13: in question. But surely you can't force parents to send
23:19
Speaker 13: their kids to two different schools. The area is fast growing,
23:23
Speaker 13: obviously are other parts of Wellington aren't doing so hot,
23:25
Speaker 13: but Mount Cook is at least in this zone. The Ministry,
23:29
Speaker 13: with the power at the moment.
23:30
Speaker 3: May require a more bespoke solution.
23:32
Speaker 13: How's your weather, Yeah, mostly fine, cooler, Southerley's fifteen nice
23:37
Speaker 13: neighbors in Auckland.
23:37
Speaker 7: Hey Nava, good morning.
23:39
Speaker 3: Thirty percent of libraries and Auckland might cut their hours.
23:41
Speaker 14: Yes, now this is under the annual plan, so the
23:44
Speaker 14: proposals they vary from cutting two hours a week to
23:48
Speaker 14: closing on Sundays. Now this would apply to Devenport, Takapuna, Henderson, Messy,
23:53
Speaker 14: Mangai or Tahuhu or Tuta Papa, Toy Toy, Papacuda and
23:58
Speaker 14: the White Matar areas. So the Auckland Council says that
24:01
Speaker 14: the local boards have got more funding, but many they
24:04
Speaker 14: face these cost increases. So look they're all considering rather
24:08
Speaker 14: different options. So the final decision will be up to
24:10
Speaker 14: each local board.
24:12
Speaker 3: Good to note neither, how's our weather fine? For most?
24:14
Speaker 14: We've just got a bit of morning fog, chance of
24:17
Speaker 14: a shower, but that will happen mainly in the evening.
24:19
Speaker 14: Twenty is the high here.
24:20
Speaker 3: In Auckland, eighteen minutes away from six news talks here
24:23
Speaker 3: Big Bran. I never understanding why people get so up
24:26
Speaker 3: in arms, neckers and a twist about libraries closing. But
24:29
Speaker 3: there was a story out of fun at a couple
24:31
Speaker 3: of weeks back and the library was going to close
24:33
Speaker 3: on a Sunday and people were outraged. It's like, do
24:36
Speaker 3: you need to get books out every day? When are
24:38
Speaker 3: you going to read them? Just get the book out
24:40
Speaker 3: on a Saturday and read it on a Sunday. You know,
24:42
Speaker 3: you don't need a library open every day. It's successive.
24:45
Speaker 3: It's like bespoke art at Wellington Council. Live to the US.
24:50
Speaker 1: Next International Correspondence with ends and Eye Insurance, Peace of
24:54
Speaker 1: Mind for New Zealand Business A fourteen to.
24:57
Speaker 3: Two The Beer. We'll get to tell your cold on
24:58
Speaker 3: inflation in a second fe Mitch mccannon state side, Mitch,
25:01
Speaker 3: good morning.
25:02
Speaker 12: Good morning, Ryan.
25:03
Speaker 3: How are you very well? And you've got King Charles
25:05
Speaker 3: in your neck of the woods, Yes, we do, lucky ass.
25:08
Speaker 12: He is in New York today and in the last
25:09
Speaker 12: couple of hours King Charles and Queen Camilla have been
25:13
Speaker 12: down at the nine to eleven Memorial in Lower Manhattan.
25:15
Speaker 12: They've been laying some flowers down there. They've then headed
25:19
Speaker 12: up to Harlem to check out a non nonprofit community garden,
25:23
Speaker 12: and then this afternoon they're heading to the New York
25:25
Speaker 12: Public Library. This is kind of interesting. The Winnie the
25:29
Speaker 12: Pooh dolls that Aa Milne was inspired to write Winnie
25:32
Speaker 12: the Pooh from. They're going to be looking at those
25:35
Speaker 12: and talking about Winnie the Pooh. So a busy day
25:37
Speaker 12: for King Charles here in New.
25:38
Speaker 3: York sounds like it too. Now. Price of oil is
25:41
Speaker 3: now almost up to war highs or one hundred and
25:45
Speaker 3: twenty US dollars a barrel for delivery in June, and
25:48
Speaker 3: the polls are showing more bad news for Trump.
25:51
Speaker 12: Yeah, keeping in mind that the oil was around US
25:54
Speaker 12: was around seventy one dollars at the start of the conflict.
25:57
Speaker 12: It has risen astronomically and that continues. But Donald Trump
26:00
Speaker 12: is saying that he wants to continue this blockade in
26:03
Speaker 12: the strain of hor moves because he believes it's more
26:05
Speaker 12: effective than the bombing. He told Xios they are choking
26:09
Speaker 12: like a stuffed pig and it's going to be worse
26:11
Speaker 12: for them. They can't have a nuclear weapon. So Donald
26:13
Speaker 12: Trump is hoping by continuing this blockade, he's going to
26:16
Speaker 12: crush the Iranian economy and they're going to be forced
26:19
Speaker 12: to do a deal. Meanwhile, his approval rating Ryan is
26:23
Speaker 12: almost as low as it's ever been. It's around thirty
26:25
Speaker 12: four percent in the US six months out from the
26:28
Speaker 12: midim elections. Not good news for.
26:30
Speaker 3: Donald Trump, certainly not. Mitch McCann, our US correspondent Times
26:34
Speaker 3: thirteen minutes away from six this was Trump's attempt. I've
26:36
Speaker 3: played you a reality of the jokes that Charles had
26:38
Speaker 3: made at the dinner and State dinner last night. This
26:40
Speaker 3: was Trump.
26:41
Speaker 7: It is a particular person to be back in this
26:43
Speaker 7: wonderful building. I cannot help noticing the readjustments to the
26:49
Speaker 7: east wings to President following your visit to Windsor Castle
26:55
Speaker 7: last year. And I'm sorry to say that we British,
26:58
Speaker 7: of course made our own a small attempt at real
27:02
Speaker 7: estate redevelopment of the way to hosted eighteen fourteen.
27:05
Speaker 3: It was King Charles. I mean, there's a lot of
27:07
Speaker 3: laugh It would seem like it was a fun event.
27:08
Speaker 3: It seemed like they were both in good spirits and
27:10
Speaker 3: there was a bit of ribbing going on across the Atlantic.
27:13
Speaker 3: As twelve to six Bryan Bridge. Inflation spiking across the
27:17
Speaker 3: Tasman four point six percent for the year to March.
27:19
Speaker 3: That's up one point one percent, No surprises why market
27:22
Speaker 3: pricing now over there and eighty percent chants the RBA
27:26
Speaker 3: will hike twenty five basis points next week would be
27:30
Speaker 3: third on the trop for them. Kelly, your Cold westpatchef
27:32
Speaker 3: economist with us this morning. Kelly, good morning, good morning.
27:36
Speaker 3: We won't be as bad as they may.
27:39
Speaker 15: No, the starting points are really different between Zeoan and Australia.
27:43
Speaker 15: I mean, they've already got inflation in the mid fors.
27:46
Speaker 15: We are projecting that it might peak here at around
27:49
Speaker 15: that level based off where we are today, whereas the
27:53
Speaker 15: Australians are going well over five percent.
27:55
Speaker 3: What about the trimmed mean, you know when you strip
27:57
Speaker 3: out your one offs, volatile stuff that's basic unchanged there.
28:01
Speaker 3: What does that tell us?
28:03
Speaker 15: Well, I mean that's an interesting one as well, because
28:06
Speaker 15: always core inflation measures in Australia are tons higher than
28:09
Speaker 15: they are here. So Tremean for example, and their median
28:13
Speaker 15: inflation rate both around three and a half percent, and
28:16
Speaker 15: this is kind of even before the big pass through
28:19
Speaker 15: or the oil price shot comes through. In New Zealand,
28:22
Speaker 15: to saving graces, they're quite a bit lower, so two
28:24
Speaker 15: point three percent and one point six percent respectively in
28:28
Speaker 15: New Zealand. What that tells you is that inflation coming
28:32
Speaker 15: into this was much better controlled. It means that you've
28:37
Speaker 15: got those three rate hikes coming in Australia. In New Zealand,
28:41
Speaker 15: we've probably got some rate hikes coming to but the
28:43
Speaker 15: Reserve Bank's probably got a bit longer to think about
28:46
Speaker 15: way up the trade offs.
28:47
Speaker 3: Some of your colleagues are saying that July you were
28:51
Speaker 3: saying September. You sticking to September.
28:52
Speaker 15: Why, Well, it's a very difficult situation and we don't
28:57
Speaker 15: really know many of the facts. We don't really know
29:01
Speaker 15: exactly where inflation is going to peak, we don't know
29:03
Speaker 15: how long this war is going to last. It looks
29:06
Speaker 15: pretty bleak at the moment, I have to say, but
29:09
Speaker 15: we just there's too many things you don't know, and
29:12
Speaker 15: in particular for the Reserve Bank. If you listen to
29:14
Speaker 15: the governor's messaging, she says that she wants to see
29:17
Speaker 15: evidence of second round price increases, and that evidence is
29:21
Speaker 15: not available now. It might not even really be available
29:25
Speaker 15: until we get to September. When you see that second
29:28
Speaker 15: quarter CPI number, which is going to come out in
29:31
Speaker 15: late July.
29:32
Speaker 3: It's waiting to say. I mean that she has said
29:35
Speaker 3: very clearly that it's the second round that they will
29:37
Speaker 3: react to, not the first wave. So as you say,
29:39
Speaker 3: we haven't had it yet, what about the price of
29:41
Speaker 3: will going up overnight? We're now touching cloth one hundred
29:44
Speaker 3: and twenty bucks a barrel again, Yeah, well.
29:46
Speaker 15: It looks pretty bad, doesn't it. I mean, the scenarios
29:49
Speaker 15: have been running worth it's all going to be finishing
29:51
Speaker 15: in a month or two look pretty unrealistic right now,
29:54
Speaker 15: especially given the talk from the President overnight. I mean
29:58
Speaker 15: they seem to be happy to settle in for a
30:00
Speaker 15: long haul here, so that means we're all going to
30:03
Speaker 15: have to redo a forecasts. I mean not only about
30:06
Speaker 15: were oil peaks, but how long it stays up there
30:08
Speaker 15: as well. I think it's probably reasonable to be planning
30:11
Speaker 15: on the basis of at least another three months of
30:13
Speaker 15: this and perhaps even having another closer look at the
30:17
Speaker 15: loclihood of it goes until the end of the year.
30:21
Speaker 3: Kellyeah Cold, Westpac good to have you on the show
30:24
Speaker 3: nine to six Get ahead.
30:26
Speaker 1: Of the headlines on early edition with Ryan Bridge and
30:30
Speaker 1: Spark for Business Technology that Keeps Business Moving US talks 'bus.
30:35
Speaker 3: Talks the B seven minutes away from six. So there
30:37
Speaker 3: you have it from Kelly ea Cold. They're going to
30:39
Speaker 3: have to redo their forecast given what Trumps said overnight,
30:42
Speaker 3: given they look like they're happy to settle in and
30:44
Speaker 3: let the straight thing continue for longer than we thought
30:46
Speaker 3: it might. Redo the forecasts price of oil is up.
30:49
Speaker 3: I mean again, this could all reverse itself within the
30:52
Speaker 3: space of a week, because that's the world we're living
30:55
Speaker 3: in right now. But this is another reason why I
30:58
Speaker 3: think even the hint of lux and wanting to more
31:02
Speaker 3: overtly support the war, it's not really a popular thing
31:05
Speaker 3: to say, is it. People don't really like it. People
31:07
Speaker 3: don't really like paying higher prices for their petrol and
31:09
Speaker 3: probably their grocery soon too. Ryan Bridge sixty six and
31:13
Speaker 3: MIC's in the studio. Good morning ratings. Ryan, what's on
31:16
Speaker 3: the show today?
31:17
Speaker 10: Well, what do you want to cover off the inflation?
31:21
Speaker 10: The Australians were into that four point six percent. It's
31:24
Speaker 10: a very good lesson. It's a very good lesson. If
31:26
Speaker 10: you want to spray money about the place that you
31:28
Speaker 10: don't have, which they have been in Australia and continue today,
31:31
Speaker 10: it will because what you've got to do is ours
31:33
Speaker 10: will probably they say, what's the latest forecast? Four and
31:36
Speaker 10: a half maybe, but by the middle of the year.
31:39
Speaker 10: So by the middle of the year, what will theirs be?
31:41
Speaker 10: And there will be well in excess of five maybe
31:43
Speaker 10: six percent. So there's a lesson that depends on Because
31:46
Speaker 10: I think about the poll the other night. You see
31:48
Speaker 10: it on the news and they ask people, would you
31:50
Speaker 10: want some free stuff if it meant the government got
31:53
Speaker 10: less tax and ran a bigger deficit, and people said
31:56
Speaker 10: it was like high sixties. People said, oh, yes, I'd
31:59
Speaker 10: love some free stuff. So you know you're dealing with that.
32:01
Speaker 10: So someone like Albenizy probably looks at that and goes,
32:04
Speaker 10: it's popular, why not, what do I care? Somebody like
32:06
Speaker 10: Willis goes, well, you know it's not very responsible to
32:09
Speaker 10: run in a country like that.
32:10
Speaker 3: So she's not. You just kind of spent the last
32:14
Speaker 3: few years arguing in exactly you're a bit locked in
32:17
Speaker 3: the corner.
32:18
Speaker 10: Anyway, she's on this morning. We'll talk to her about that.
32:21
Speaker 10: And obviously are they over rigging it? Your mates at
32:23
Speaker 10: the Herald this morning? A crisis meeting like some Petere
32:26
Speaker 10: Christis meeting.
32:27
Speaker 3: Throw the crisis out of the story for a look,
32:30
Speaker 3: And it was a meeting that happened. But I just
32:32
Speaker 3: think that the basics of it, you've got a prime
32:34
Speaker 3: minister who would struggled to articulate himself on the wall
32:37
Speaker 3: and then and then comes out and says in an email, well,
32:42
Speaker 3: let's go harder and support the US. I mean, I
32:44
Speaker 3: don't think people love that.
32:45
Speaker 10: No, But the devioust thing is Peters says this morning
32:49
Speaker 10: he made a mistake, so he may have culpered to
32:51
Speaker 10: the prime Insterm and staid I made a mistake. Did
32:53
Speaker 10: he make a mistake or did he just say he
32:55
Speaker 10: made a mistake, while at the same time going.
32:58
Speaker 3: He didn't say he made a mistake. Luxon said Peters
33:01
Speaker 3: made a mistake. That was Is that how you read it?
33:04
Speaker 3: I didn't read it that way. That's how I read it.
33:06
Speaker 10: I read it that Luckson. Luckson's office said Peter's admitted
33:10
Speaker 10: he made him misstated.
33:12
Speaker 3: That is Luckson's office saying it.
33:14
Speaker 10: They're not gonna lie. They're not gonna lie.
33:18
Speaker 3: They clearly they have different interpretations of a lot of things.
33:21
Speaker 10: My point being, does does Peters take a small hit
33:23
Speaker 10: on this and go, yeah, I made a mistake? What's
33:25
Speaker 10: never mind? Knowing full well that's out there now.
33:28
Speaker 3: I actually think it doesn't matter who takes the hit
33:30
Speaker 3: where I think Luson is the less credible actor in
33:34
Speaker 3: this scenario.
33:35
Speaker 10: With does this last until the election or is it
33:38
Speaker 10: sort of building.
33:41
Speaker 3: Building anyway? Nikola Willis will have.
33:43
Speaker 10: Something to say on that I'm sure this morning.
33:45
Speaker 3: Jim Wingbourne, By the way, who doesn't love she's she
33:50
Speaker 3: knows she's not.
33:51
Speaker 10: And there's the revelation Ryan, she's in the studio.
