  Speaker 2: Be welcome into your Tuesday. Thank you so much for
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: choosing us. Coming up over the next sixty minutes. In
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: a moment, the government announces that the patch ban is
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: shaking the tree. But how long will it remain effective?
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: We're talking to Chris Kle from the Police Association of
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: five minutes, Germany voted and now Germany is forming a government.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: But what will be the shape of the new Germany?
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Who will Fredrick Mattz choose and where is he going?
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Will go to Berlin shortly and Andrew Bailey quits, but
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: what does that really tell us about the depth of
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: the National Party talent pool. We'll have those stories, plus
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: correspondence from around New Zealand and around the world, and
• 0:50

  Speaker 2: email Dickens at News Talks he be co dot Nz.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: It's seven after five.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: The agenda and it's Tuesday.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: The twenty fifth of February and first to Germany, where
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: the Frederick Metz, the man said to lead the country,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: has addressed the press for the first time since the
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: stamp election. So Matz's relatively conservative CDUCSU alliance has won
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: twenty eight point six percent of the vote. He says
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: the number of seats received allows them to form a
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: coalition with only the Social Democrats, which he says is
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: the ideal in outcome. There's also, of course, the alternative
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: deutsch Land Party that's wanting to take them right wing.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: He's always said that the US's willingness to engage with
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Europe is dwindling, but he said now that he's got
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: the big job, he wants to maintain good translator transatlantic relations.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: It's clear that we in Europe need very rapidly to
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: become able to act. We need to be able to
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: organize our own defense. That has top priority over the
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: next few weeks.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Meanwhile, still in Europe and Ukraine, a senior Ukrainian official
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: says the US and Ukraine are close to agreeing a
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: minerals deal. The US wants access to Ukraine's minerals in
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: return for military aid, including the military aid they've already given,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: but Ukraine wants security guarantees in return. Meanwhile, a summit
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: with European leaders has been taking place in Kiev for
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: the third anniversary of the start of the war, which
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: was yesterday. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has been speaking to reporters.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: He says a complete prisoner of war exchange with Russia
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: could be the start of ending the war.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: This war is difficult to find just because of such
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: steps of Russia, their way of this war. How many
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: people they killed to kill them, and thousands in the
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: prison and stolen children. And that's why we'll.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Never forget it, and we can't forget it.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: What a cinematic voice. And finally, to the health of
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Pope Francis, who was in a critical condition with double pneumonia.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: The eighty eight year old has spent his tenth night
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: in intensive care at the Gamieri Hospital in Rome.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: We will got a little.
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: Bit more information from Vatican sources who actually said that
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: the Pope.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Was eating normally.
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: They said they suggested he was in good humor and
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: that he was not in pain, because there had been
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: a comment over the weekend talking about his suffering having increased,
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: and said, I think they wanted us to underline that
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: he is not in pain, and particularly I think to
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: underline that he is conscious. He is there, he is
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: being treated, although he is of course still in a
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: critical condition.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Andrew the ICC Champions Trophy, New Zealand playing Bangladesh. New
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Zealand needs just twenty five runs and fifty three balls
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: to win. Run rate of just what two point seven two? Oh,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: look they just scored another four. It's looking good for us.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: It is ten alf to five.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Edrew dickins all of the leadership, but with one roof
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: make your property search simple, youth dog zibby.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: So, with all eyes on President Trump's idiosyncratic diplomacy methods,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: there's been little attention to the fact that America has
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: very little choice when it comes to leadership. It was
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: a headline in the New York Times the other day
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: and it said we have no coherent message. Democrats struggle
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: to oppose Trump. So a reporter from the Times claims
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: to have interviewed fifty senior Democrats since the US election
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: and reported that all are bereft of direction and belief.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: They just know what to do and say when faced
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: with the Trump tornado. That's only a month old, but rare.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: The action comes as any surprise. Kamana Harris didn't know
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: what to say during the election except to yell even
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: more madly that Trump was mad and bad. Joe Biden
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: spent four years not really knowing how to beat Trump's glowing,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: radioactive aura. Some suggest he wasn't too sure of anything.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: In fact, Nancy Pelosi continued to run the Democrats right
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: into her eighties. There's been no accession plan for the Democrats,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: no bright, young voices, no philosophy. The Democrat's only policy
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: plank is that everything Trump stands for is crazy forgetting
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: that the things Trump stands for just got a mandate
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: well over fifty percent. And this is happening all over
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: the left wing world. Look what happened in Germany. It's
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: not unfair to say the left here in New Zealand
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: is also unsure of its place in the world other
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: than to diss many things that working class people believe in.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: That said, the Republicans are also unsure of themselves. They
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: have no vision other than backing the extraordinary popularity of
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump. He is the rap they're willing to swallow.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: So you could say the States is a bit lost
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: and Trump seems to be the only one who knows
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: where he's going, and if no successor is found in
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: four years, I guess he may have an idea of
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: where to go next after that and that might be
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: something that the world could dread. Andrew Diggins Andrew Rugby
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: after the Blues capitulation at the hands of the Highland
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: as they're left with some shattered reputations and no more
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: so than Bowden Barrett so Chris Ratiue in The Herald
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: this Morning is arguing that Body's lack of presence, particularly
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: in the second half, suggests that maybe his time has passed.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: In the Black Jersey, he says that time is running
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: out for the thirty three year old and it's time
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: for the All Backs to future proof there squad by
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: bringing in new young talent. And look, I have to
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: feel for Body, Barrett. I'm sure you do as well.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: He's been shuffled from pillar to posts because of his
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: extraordinary talent in two positions, from firse five to fullback.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: He's been shuffled around. He's not been allowed to cement
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: his place in either as the abs accommodate other talents
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: like Richie Muanga and Damian Mackenzie. And the other side
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: effect of that shuffling is that people like Will Jordan
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: get shoe horned into other positions. He gets pushed out
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: of fullback, he ends up playing wing. He's played wing
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: as much as he's ever played fullback, and it has
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: been an all black thing of late. Body's brother, Jordan
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: has also been experimented with. He's shuffled between second five
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: and fullback, but now he's making second five of his own. Now,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: let's not beat a bu the bush. Bowden Barrett is
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: still a magnificent player, and I would play him this season,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: but a World Cup is always bearing down on us.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: He will be thirty six by the time it's here.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: And as the high than this game showed us, there
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: was a twenty one year old on that field called
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Finn Hurley who turned heads. And there is a new
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: generation coming Dickens. So it's thirteen minutes after five. The
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: patch band is in and the patch band has worked.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: People who have been arrested in three thousand charges have
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: been laid and so there was much crowing about this yesterday,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: but how much longer will it continue to work? We're
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: going to talk to Chris Cahill from the Police Association. Next,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: this is News Talk zeb.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day, early
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: edition with Andrew Dickens and One Room to make Your
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Property Surge and.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Civil You talks with me sixteen minutes after five. So
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: the gang patch ban appears to be going well. This
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: is according to police figures. It's only been what what
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: has it been every month since the band came into place,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: and since then police have laid just over three thousand charges.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: They've seized over seventy it was about seventy firearms, and
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: they've seized a total of seventy six patches. So Chris
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Carhill is the president of the Police Association. He's got
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: up early for us. Good morning, dear Chris, Good morning Andrew.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Ten thousand Patch gang members in this country, seventy six
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: patches confiscated. Did we only catch the stupid ones?
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: Well, no, it's actually that the gangs comply with the
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: law a lot better than probably anyone anticipated. Really. I
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: think they realized very quickly that if they wear their pats,
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: they're going to lose it permanently, and if they police
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: don't act immediately, because they might be safe. Too. Many
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: gang members et cetera. Police will turn up with a
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: search forum the next morning, and that's where they've been
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: getting the good results with all the firearms, et cetera.
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: So their compliance has been really good.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Do we underestimate the gang's intelligence and organization.
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: I think we have to be care for that. Just
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: because we're not seen in the public with their patches,
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: they're not still continuing to commit their crime. And that's
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: sort of a separate issue for police that they've got
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: to continue their large scale organized crime investigations. But from
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: a public perspective, you're not seeing these gang members patched
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: up in the street and that's a good thing.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good vibe. But we're here to fight crime.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Is this fighting crime enough?
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: Well, I think it's a different way of doing it.
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: I mean, I think it's important that you're feeling safe
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: is sometimes just as important as as being safe. And
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: when the public are out there, they're at the cafes
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: that are in the main street and they're not seeing
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: the groups of Patch members, that makes them feel safer.
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: But certainly police still have to keep up those operations.
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: In the fact they've laid three thousand charges for different
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: types of offenses says that they're still doing that.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Of course, I ended up behind a gang convoy the
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: other day on State Highway too, and no patches, that's
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: for sure. But there were a lot of white T
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: shirts that were a lot of black leather Jerkins who
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: was obviously the Harley Davidson's and they all seem to
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: have a bandanna and one or the other of their pockets.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: So they've just moved on to a different way of
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: signifying their presence, haven't they.
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: To a degree though, I think if you talk to
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: the public and police have that saying it feels safe
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: and not seeing the big patches where they use them
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: to intimidate, it is making a difference. I think the
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: long term will will it actually reduce gang numbers? I
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: think that's something that's going to take a while to understand.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, exactly. My final question is how long will this
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: remain effective? Because we only got seventy six out of
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: ten thousand and so, as I said at the beginning,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: they were the stupid ones. The smart ones are going
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: to get away from the patch, and as we saw
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: on the telly there, so people are going to say
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: there was a gang member there who say, well, you're
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: going to see a whole lot more facial tattoos. So
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: the question is how long will the gang patch rules
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: remain effective in shaking the tree to find the other crimes?
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: Well, that is you know, time will be the one
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: that clearly tells that, I think, But you know the
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: fact there's been three thousand charges, so it says it's
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: been pretty effective at the moment and keeping the setting
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: that control over the gangs. Everything will adapt and police
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: will have to adapt as well. But I still think
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: I'd rather see streets without those gang patches on them
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: than what we had oh prior to that. Oh.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, don't get me wrong. I'm behind the gang patch.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: It has been great. It has given a better vibe
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: around the place. I thank you for your comments, Chris
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Carhill for the Police Association president, your reactions. Love the
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: gang page rules. They now look just like regular writers
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: on the road and it must look less appealing to
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: new recruits. Thank you for your texts. And Paulin writes
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: the new gang uniform is white T shirts. At least
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: they look clean. It is five twenty. Germany is facing
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: a new future. Frederick Matz has the whip hand and
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: forming a coalition. He used to or he represents the
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: party that used to be with Angular Merkle, but he's
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: been sounding a little bit more right wing and a
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: little bit more conservative over this election. Now how he
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: gets to form a coalition, but with who we'll find
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: out in a few moments time as we cross to Berlin.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: It is five twenty.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition Andrew Dickens
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: and One Route to make your property search simple. News talks.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: It'd be if you've just got up. New Zealand is
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: playing Bangladesh and the ICC Champions Trophy and New Zealand
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: needs thirteen runs now in thirty eight balls. And if
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: you've just woken up, you won't know the news that
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Ration Revender got himself a fantastics entry one hundred and
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: twelve The Boys on Fire. It is now five twenty two.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: It has been a momentous twenty four hours in German
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: politics following the snap federal elections. The Conservative Alliance is
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: once again the driving force, winning twenty eight point six
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: percent of the vote and Philaderri Kametz is set to
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: be the new chancellor. But the question is who are
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: they going to form a coalition with Thorston Benner is
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: the co founder and director of the Global Public Policy Institute.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: He's in Berlin and joins us out. Good morning to you, Thorston.
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: Good morning, Andrew, thanks for having me.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: How has it been You're in Germany. What are the
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: people saying?
• 13:04
  Speaker 7: Well, it depends on what the people's predilections are. Those
• 13:08
  Speaker 7: who love extreme right wing forces there over the moon.
• 13:13
  Speaker 7: Because every fifth German, more than twenty percent voted for
• 13:17
  Speaker 7: a far right party, the so called alternative for Germany.
• 13:23
  Speaker 7: There's the rest of the population, the eighty percent, they're
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: probably less happy about this. I have lots of friends
• 13:30
  Speaker 7: with a migrant background who are thinking about maybe leaving Germany.
• 13:34
  Speaker 7: If the AfD that established itself as the dominant force
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: in German politics in this election in all of Germany's
• 13:41
  Speaker 7: East will kind of be let let into power. So
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: it's a sober It's a sober day for German politics.
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: We've had this experiment one hundred years ago didn't go
• 13:55
  Speaker 7: so well, so most of the population still is not
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: in for a real right.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Well, Frederick Mahtz has to form the coalition, and he
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: has actually already said he'd like to make a coalition
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: with the Social Democrats, Now, the problem there is the
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Social Democrats had a terrible election, got their worst result
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: and as you mentioned, the ad F, the Alternative for
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: deutsch Land party, the right wing party, had a great election.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: So is Metz going to go with the Social Democrats
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: or will he?
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: That's the only that's the only option, basically because out
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: the Christian Democrats have ruled out solemnly forming any sort
• 14:31
  Speaker 7: of coalition or any sort of cohabitation with the far
• 14:34
  Speaker 7: right Alternative for Germany, so that only leaves him one option,
• 14:39
  Speaker 7: that is to go with the Social Democrats, which is
• 14:43
  Speaker 7: one of the better outcomes because it's only a two
• 14:46
  Speaker 7: party coalition that's necessary. So it was a nail bier
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: in the early morning hours yesterday because because it was
• 14:55
  Speaker 7: unclear whether some of the parties would make the five
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: percent threshold in the end, and two parties didn't make it,
• 15:02
  Speaker 7: so that allows the SPD and Fredrik Matz to form
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: a coalition. The SPD is not, you know, super happy
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: about it. They're licking their wounds. But I think given
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: you know, you need to look at what the security
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: situation Germany finds itself with a war at our doorstep,
• 15:20
  Speaker 7: where Donald Trump is pulling the rug from under our feet.
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: So we need a government that is able, that is
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: able to act. And I think in the end the
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: Social Democrats will not will kind of get over their
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: grief and join a coalition, but it may not be
• 15:39
  Speaker 7: an easy process getting there.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Okay, Thoston, I think you for your time. Thoston Ben
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: a co found a director of the Global Public Policy
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Institute in Berlin. And what will be interesting is once
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: they form their coalition where the policies go. Because Frederic
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Metz over the course of the election said that he
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: was going to crack down a little bit more on immigration.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: And remember his party was Angela Mercer's party had an
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: open immigration policy. So we'll wait to see. It is
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: five twenty six. News Talks A B.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: The early edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: News Talks it B, News.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Talks e B. It is five twenty eight. How many times,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: don't be honest with me. How many times, in the
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: middle of an intense argument with a stupid workmate have
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: you been tempted just to box their leather ears thumps
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: some sense into them. Obviously you don't. In fact, you
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: know that you can't even touch them. You can glower
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: and scowl and talk with a low, harsh intensity, but
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: no touchy touchy and no raised voices. Unfortunately, Andrew Bailey touchy,
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: touchied and raise his voice. But what is good about
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: this is that he knew it. Sometimes you have to
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: hold yourself to account, is what he said at his
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: press conference when he resigned. What a great line. Wouldn't
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: you love more people to hold themselves to account. Some
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: might say that he was just trying to get urgency
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: and getting things done, but that's not so. These are
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: uncivil times. We need to be civil. We need to
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: remember that basic courtesy and respect for others must exist.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: If the strength of your argument is so strong, you
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: will not need to shake some sense into anyone. And
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: I think the world would be better if we have
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: people who were not so inclined to call anyone they
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: disagree with Amron or to threaten them if they have
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: a different point of view. Now there are some we
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: know who who are making political capital out of the
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: gap between Friday's resignation and Monday's announcement. Personally, I think
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: that's petty. He just spent a week innd pulling himself
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: together to face the music, and when he faced the
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: music and told us that he was resigning. You can
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: see how close he was to tears. I think Andrew
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Bailey acted like a fool with his staff member, but
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: he acted in his resignation with honor. And the next
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: version of Andrew Bailey will be even better. He's got
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: a ton of experience. But this leaves a problem for
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: the National Party. They're running out of experienced talents.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens, so.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: I'm going to talk about that with Bridget Morton in
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: a few moments time, or just before six. In a
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: few moments time, I have a really cool job for you.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: And by really cool, I mean really cool.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: Too.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Yay on your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early Edition
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: with Andrew Dickens and one roof Make your Property Search
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Simple Youth Talk said be.
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: Q please.
• 18:19
  Speaker 8: Say hey, good morning to you.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Welcoming to your Tuesday morning. IM Andrew Dickens filling in
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: for Ryan Bridge. We'll be back with you on the
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Time Show this afternoon. It's a hot summer. It's a
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: hot late summer. Don't you think the number of temperatures
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: in the thirties right now quite incredible right up and
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: down the country. And if that late summer heat is
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: starting to get to you. How about moving to Antarctica.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Scott Base is looking for forty people to join the
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: twenty five to twenty six research program. Here's the kicker.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: You don't have to be a scientist. What they really
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: need is engineers and trades and cleaners and cooks and
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: mechanics and doctors because Scott Based is basically a small
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: town and so they need everybody. Twelve of the forty
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: will be needed to winter over. That would be quite
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: a hard experience, but interesting. So look, I'm in. If
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: you need a radio show Scott Base, I'll come down now.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: I'll do it because it'll be incredible, also challenging, But
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: aren't the most incredible experiences challenging the best experiences are.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Now Here's the thing. I work with a woman whose
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: dad has been going down for four months every year
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: for a decade. And his job he runs the pub.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: He runs the bar in Scott Base, the world's southernmost bar,
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: and has been so much fun that he's been prepared
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: to abandon his family each and every year. And he
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: comes back with great T shirts and they're proud of him.
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: And now.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Applications closed on March the sixteenth. You can go to
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: the Antarctica New Zealand website and apparently it's a cool job.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Dickens Callum proc Joe speaking of cool is in Dunedan.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Hello Callum lorn and Andrew. Weight lists at Otago Kidney's Yes,
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: we got the most of New Zealand when it comes
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: to weightlist.
• 20:07
  Speaker 9: There's new stats out that show almost two thirds of
• 20:10
  Speaker 9: Otago Early Childhood education providers have a weight list. This
• 20:16
  Speaker 9: new data from the Ministry of Education shows one hundred
• 20:18
  Speaker 9: and ninety four thousand kids attended licensed centers across New
• 20:21
  Speaker 9: Zealand last year. That was a two percent rise on
• 20:24
  Speaker 9: twenty twenty three. The number of services dropped though one percent.
• 20:28
  Speaker 9: Forty four percent had a weight list, with Otago having
• 20:32
  Speaker 9: the highest percentage of providers with those weightlists for children
• 20:35
  Speaker 9: age two, three and four. The Ministry says lo these
• 20:38
  Speaker 9: weightlists are not unusual because many parents choose to join
• 20:41
  Speaker 9: more than one when considering ECE options.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Now, how is your weather today?
• 20:47
  Speaker 7: Morning?
• 20:47
  Speaker 9: Rain eases, showers today clearing by this evening though to
• 20:50
  Speaker 9: find the high today twenty and.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: I thank you Claise here we're joined us fro christiod
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Hella Claire. Good morning, So tell me all about this
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: new cancer treatment for blood cancer.
• 20:59
  Speaker 10: Yeah, my Church Hospital and Auckland City Hospital actually are
• 21:03
  Speaker 10: going to be the base of these two new clinical trials.
• 21:06
  Speaker 10: It's a Mallaghan Institute at phase two trial for Carte
• 21:09
  Speaker 10: cell therapy for blood cancers. Now, this is therapy that
• 21:13
  Speaker 10: reprograms a patient's immune cells to recognize and eliminate any
• 21:17
  Speaker 10: cancerous cells. The clinical director, Robert Weinecove, says a recent
• 21:21
  Speaker 10: trial for patients with relapsed lymphoma was a success. So
• 21:25
  Speaker 10: he says just over half of patients had a complete
• 21:28
  Speaker 10: response after they had exhausted all other treatment options.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: How's your weather?
• 21:34
  Speaker 10: A bit of plad about today, increasing to some rain
• 21:37
  Speaker 10: from about mid day, northwesterlyies turning southerly and a maximum
• 21:41
  Speaker 10: of twenty.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Five And I thank you Max Tell from Wellington, good
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: morning to here.
• 21:44
  Speaker 11: Good morning.
• 21:45
  Speaker 12: Got another bar going bust exactly? This is winebar and
• 21:49
  Speaker 12: restaurant Plank on Custom House Key, which shuts up shop
• 21:53
  Speaker 12: now next month. It had only been open a couple
• 21:55
  Speaker 12: of years in a great location. It looked great, classy, sleek,
• 21:59
  Speaker 12: good reviews, but the operator tells us it's basically all
• 22:03
  Speaker 12: down to the CBD being a bit of a virtual
• 22:05
  Speaker 12: ghost town, low foot traffic. He says it's the toughest
• 22:09
  Speaker 12: he's seen since the two thousand and eight GFC job
• 22:13
  Speaker 12: cuts in the public sector, of course, but at the
• 22:14
  Speaker 12: same time people being urged to stop sitting on the
• 22:17
  Speaker 12: couch and actually come into work. So difficult to see
• 22:20
  Speaker 12: if and when things will pick up. Fewer people going
• 22:22
  Speaker 12: out as well and spending money.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: Very good house.
• 22:25
  Speaker 12: Your weather should be mostly fine. Today's some stronger winds northerlies.
• 22:30
  Speaker 12: Twenty one the high central and.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: Never writtenman who joins him from Aukland. Hell On Greetings.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: So the newest Peck and Save in New Zealand in
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Auckland is ready to go. Is this the one that's
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: the biggest ever?
• 22:41
  Speaker 7: Yes?
• 22:41
  Speaker 13: Apparently so well or ever ever in the whole wide world.
• 22:44
  Speaker 13: No give it ever in New Zealand, just in our world. Well, yes,
• 22:47
  Speaker 13: in our world, and what they're doing too. So this
• 22:49
  Speaker 13: is Peck and Save Highland Park opening up on Pokodong Road,
• 22:52
  Speaker 13: Pokodunga Road this morning. So it's six thousand squeamy to supermarket.
• 22:57
  Speaker 13: It's the first to be built. And this is where
• 22:59
  Speaker 13: it's really cool, a dedicated drive through area for customers
• 23:02
  Speaker 13: collecting the online shopping orders. So yeah, first of it's
• 23:05
  Speaker 13: kind Wade Brown, he's the owner. He says they're going
• 23:08
  Speaker 13: to have around two hundred and twenty stuff on the
• 23:10
  Speaker 13: floor today, hoping to increase that to two fifty one
• 23:13
  Speaker 13: set online service is ready.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Easy peasy with that.
• 23:16
  Speaker 13: That'll be really good if you have that drive through
• 23:18
  Speaker 13: doors open at seven thirty this morning, so you can
• 23:21
  Speaker 13: imagine there'll be quite a few of those locals.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Such a big business model. Now, how's Awkin's weather?
• 23:26
  Speaker 13: Partly cloudy, isolated chowers mainly this afternoon, but still hot
• 23:30
  Speaker 13: and humid here in Auckland, which it has been over
• 23:32
  Speaker 13: the last few nights. Twenty six is the high here.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Would you like to go to Antarctica? Applications are open
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: closed March sixteenth. We can go to Antarctica. When a radio,
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: you know, I.
• 23:41
  Speaker 13: Saw that that would be quite cool. Someone was saying
• 23:44
  Speaker 13: that I just heard your name bendied around saying hey,
• 23:47
  Speaker 13: Andrew Dickens should go one way ticket.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: That was not me either, Oh sure it was okay.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Now I'd like to shoot the messenger, thank you very much.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: All right, Now, in other news. New Zealand has been
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: banging the dish in the ICALC Champions Trophy. They won
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: by five wickets. They had twenty three balls left. Russian

• 24:10
  Speaker 9: seals the deal for New Zealand. They are officially into
• 24:13
  Speaker 9: the semi finals of the Champions Trophy.

• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Young got zero, by the way, he got a dark.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: If he doesn't fire, someone else fires, ration has fired.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: We're looking good. It is seventeen minutes to six. We're
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: off to Australia with Don and Demayo and we'll talk
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: a little bit about Andrew Bailey's resignation, whether it took
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: too long. I don't think so, and whether National is
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: starting to run out of people with appropriate political experience
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: because they've got so many first time as. We'll talk
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: more about this with Bridget Morton before six. It is
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: seventeen to two.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: International correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance. Peace of mind
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: for New Zealand.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: With the time of fourteen to six. We welcome to
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: the program from Australia. Donna Tomorrow. Hello, Donna, Hey, Hey,
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Dylan good. So, the boss of the federal department responsible
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: for parliament House has been sacked. His names Rob Stephanick.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: What did he do and why was he sacked?
• 25:17
  Speaker 11: Well, he had lost the confidence and trust of the
• 25:20
  Speaker 11: politicians he reported to. And yes, you mentioned Rob Stephanick.
• 25:25
  Speaker 11: He was the Department of Parliamentary Services Secretary. Now he
• 25:28
  Speaker 11: did actually leave in December, but the nature whose departure
• 25:31
  Speaker 11: had been a secret for these months. You see, we've
• 25:33
  Speaker 11: now heard that it was a decision not taken lightly.
• 25:36
  Speaker 11: The details arose in a Senate estimates meeting yesterday. Now
• 25:41
  Speaker 11: he was a first appointed in twenty fifteen, so he
• 25:43
  Speaker 11: had the job for a little while. Now what exactly
• 25:46
  Speaker 11: does his department do. It's one of four, mind you,
• 25:49
  Speaker 11: that is responsible for the oversight of the Parliamentary Building
• 25:53
  Speaker 11: in Canberra. Last year we heard from ABC News it
• 25:56
  Speaker 11: was revealed that there was a reported toxic culture at
• 26:00
  Speaker 11: the department. Also last year, mister Stepnick faced questions about
• 26:04
  Speaker 11: his disclosure of a relationship with his former Deputy secretary,
• 26:08
  Speaker 11: Kate Saunders, who left the public service with a three
• 26:12
  Speaker 11: hundred and fifteen thousand dollars payment. And now we've just
• 26:16
  Speaker 11: got that little bit extra info on exactly what happened,
• 26:19
  Speaker 11: thanks to the Senate Estimates Committee.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Okay, then, now, gosh, there's a lot of fun in
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Parliament House, isn't it. Now We've already done this obviously,
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: but now find the Australia has a Queensland company planning
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: to shoot a rocket into orbit.
• 26:36
  Speaker 11: Oh yes, sir Gilmore Space Technologies has been working on
• 26:40
  Speaker 11: this fourteen years and we've just heard that the North
• 26:43
  Speaker 11: Queensland Company is just weeks away from sending Australia's first
• 26:48
  Speaker 11: orble to rocket into space. As you can imagine, there's
• 26:51
  Speaker 11: lots of excitement in the town of Bowen. They hope
• 26:53
  Speaker 11: it's going to boost tourism. So they finally got their
• 26:56
  Speaker 11: airspace approval just late last year. And it looks like
• 27:01
  Speaker 11: as Australia's first space rocket will actually is set to
• 27:08
  Speaker 11: launch maybe from March fifteen or or onwards. So it
• 27:13
  Speaker 11: could happen on March fifteen or anytime after that. But
• 27:16
  Speaker 11: could you believe it a forecast tropical cyclone could interfere
• 27:20
  Speaker 11: with the launch. We're hearing that Cyclone Alfred is on
• 27:23
  Speaker 11: its way, so hopefully it doesn't happen for them and
• 27:25
  Speaker 11: it doesn't delay it again. But it's going to be
• 27:27
  Speaker 11: an unmanned rocket and I know you're gonna love this.
• 27:30
  Speaker 11: There will be a jar of vegemite conto.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Of course, that's how the Australians colonize out of space
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: with vegimite. And I thank you so much that has
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: done in tomorrow. It is now eleven to six.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens all.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Right, well, obviously Andrew Bailey I gave up his ministerial
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: portfolios after an incident with the staffer. He announced it yesterday.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: He in fact resigned to the Prime Minister on Friday.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: He apparently put his hand on the staffa's upper arm
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: during what he called an animated discussion. But he's refusing
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: to go into any detail about that discussion. He says
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: he's apologized, but it's not the first time his conduct
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: has been questioned. Political commentator bridget To Morton is with
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: me now.
• 28:12
  Speaker 14: Hello, bridget good morning.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: So he slowly lost it in the public eye. Really,
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: he'd already done, he'd already had the Loser controversy. This
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: was the second one and he just realized that time
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: was running out.
• 28:24
  Speaker 14: Yeah. Absolutely. I think it's very clear that when you're
• 28:26
  Speaker 14: in an employer employee relationship like he was, that this
• 28:30
  Speaker 14: kind of behavior is inappropriate. He recognized that, the Prime
• 28:32
  Speaker 14: Minister recognized that he wasn't really any other way he
• 28:35
  Speaker 14: could go.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: He's gone to the back benches. He hasn't gone completely.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: Should he have gone completely? And if he has gone
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: to the back benches, is there any way he can
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: come back up?
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: Well?
• 28:44
  Speaker 14: I think you never say never when it comes to this,
• 28:46
  Speaker 14: but I think it's a difficult road. There's a lot
• 28:48
  Speaker 14: of talented people on that bench that are all waiting
• 28:51
  Speaker 14: to be a ministerial slot as well, So it's going
• 28:53
  Speaker 14: to be difficult for him to come back into the cabinet.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, should he run for MP again or do you
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: think the electorate might have might have moved against him?
• 29:03
  Speaker 11: So?
• 29:03
  Speaker 14: I mean, he's got a very popular electorate. He's always
• 29:06
  Speaker 14: had a really strong result there, which seems to indicate
• 29:09
  Speaker 14: at least that there is some you know, respect for
• 29:13
  Speaker 14: him within the electorate. I think the election is still
• 29:16
  Speaker 14: a little bit way off, but it would come down
• 29:17
  Speaker 14: to whether or not that's what he wants to do
• 29:19
  Speaker 14: with his.
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: Career going forward.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, now, look, you mentioned there's plenty of other backbenches
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: who want to step up into cabinet positions, but there
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: are other political editors have written that the problem with
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: the National Party, after being hollowed out by the Labor
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Party in the previous election, they've got an awful lot
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: of first terms. Even our Prime minister is a first termer.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: So here's the question, is National running out of experienced
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: politicians who have been in cabinet seats, who have been
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: in responsible positions.
• 29:47
  Speaker 14: Well, I mean Scott Somethon who stepped into Andrew Bailey's
• 29:49
  Speaker 14: shoes here has you know, he's been around a long time,
• 29:52
  Speaker 14: He's a very experienced of lecture MP, has previously been
• 29:55
  Speaker 14: a minister in the former government. So I think that's
• 29:57
  Speaker 14: an indication that there is some of that talent on
• 29:59
  Speaker 14: the backbench. Also, as many of us know that being
• 30:02
  Speaker 14: in parliament itself is not necessarily the only experience you
• 30:05
  Speaker 14: want for somebody going into being a minister. Sometimes having
• 30:08
  Speaker 14: those connections into the business world or health or education
• 30:12
  Speaker 14: a great criteria as well.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: Meanwhile, people are calling Chris Hipkins a hypocrite.
• 30:16
  Speaker 15: Do you reckon he was in terms of calling that
• 30:20
  Speaker 15: this wasn't dealt with cleanly. Yeah, I think it's been
• 30:22
  Speaker 15: a bit of a hypocrite here. We've just got to
• 30:24
  Speaker 15: look at the Michael Woods scandal. You know, it took
• 30:27
  Speaker 15: like three weeks. He was given personal leave, you know,
• 30:29
  Speaker 15: who's given multiple warnings. It's just not true that Hapkins
• 30:33
  Speaker 15: would say that, you know, his ministers would have been gone
• 30:34
  Speaker 15: within a couple of hours.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: Yes, and therefore, did Christopher luxA make the wrong move
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: by allowing Bailey to have a weekend, you know, to
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: resign on Friday, have a weekend to pull himself together
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: and then announce it to the public. That's been criticized
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: as well. This has formed a hole that Chris Hickins
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: has gone for even for years hypocritical. So was that
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: a mistake by Christopher Luxon not to announce this all
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: on Friday?
• 30:58
  Speaker 14: I don't think so. I mean, is a weekkend. It's
• 31:00
  Speaker 14: the portfolios a commerce and consumer affairs. They're not something
• 31:04
  Speaker 14: in which he was going to be a major disaster
• 31:06
  Speaker 14: of the week. We're not talking about how or civil
• 31:08
  Speaker 14: defense for any of those kind of portfolios. Also, just
• 31:11
  Speaker 14: going to remember sometimes that politicians, a people too, and
• 31:14
  Speaker 14: being able to give his time to tell his family
• 31:17
  Speaker 14: and also the staff because remember all those staff in
• 31:21
  Speaker 14: his office have now actually lost their positions and have
• 31:23
  Speaker 14: to reapply or make decision about what they do next.
• 31:26
  Speaker 14: I think it's fears to actually endowed sort of that
• 31:28
  Speaker 14: to happen before the media starts, you know, having their
• 31:31
  Speaker 14: time to go through all of the questions.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I actually maybe I'm maybe I'm an outlier. I
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: actually thought it was handled pretty well and with decency
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: to all players. So there we go. It's done, and
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: it is now seven minutes to six. We've got to
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: text and Baily seems to me to be someone who
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: doesn't have common sense or what I will call now
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: maybe so, but I think he actually saw great when
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: he resigned. It is now seven minutes to six.
• 31:57

• 32:52

  Speaker 8: about this.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: It's like, who kids, I said, he.
• 33:27
  Speaker 8: Did it well and he resigned this hold, and I
• 33:31
  Speaker 8: would have sacked him in four minutes and you took
• 33:33
  Speaker 8: seven minutes. It's just like, honestly, we've surely we've got
• 33:36
  Speaker 8: vastly more important. I mean, the Chinese are here and

• 33:45
  Speaker 8: I just don't understand what's going on. I mean, probably
• 33:48
  Speaker 8: not the smartest thing. And ironically, on a day that
• 33:51
  Speaker 8: mister Clark turns up in court as an all black,
• 33:54
  Speaker 8: a professional, you know, what's a sack of all offense?

• 34:00
  Speaker 8: pleads guilty to you know, not being stopped by the police.
• 34:03
  Speaker 8: Is that a sackable offense? If holding somebody's arm is
• 34:07
  Speaker 8: a seckable offense? What about running you know.
• 34:09
  Speaker 6: What I mean.
