Speaker 2: Se'd be good morning, it is Wednesday. Great to have
0:12
Speaker 2: your company. Paul Goldsmith before six on the new crime
0:14
Speaker 2: stats out this morning and the Tom Phillips injunction will
0:17
Speaker 2: ask him about that too. Trump's touching down in the
0:20
Speaker 2: UK with their live aviation fees, they're getting a review
0:23
Speaker 2: will mean cheap of flights for US. And we've got
0:25
Speaker 2: your global dairy trade option numbers from overnight. All ahead.
0:30
Speaker 1: The agenda Wednesday.
0:31
Speaker 2: To seventeenth September. We've got a ground invasion Garza City
0:35
Speaker 2: this morning. Netanya, who says get out because we're coming in.
0:37
Speaker 2: The UN Commission of Inquiry says this is genocide.
0:40
Speaker 3: This has been the most ruthless, prolonged and the widespread
0:44
Speaker 3: attack against the Palestinian people since nineteen forty eight. Every
0:50
Speaker 3: day that passes, the killings and the starvation of the
0:54
Speaker 3: Palestinians continue.
0:57
Speaker 2: The King is my good friend. Trump is touching down
0:59
Speaker 2: for second state visit in the UK.
1:02
Speaker 1: It's the first time this has ever happened where somebody
1:04
Speaker 1: was honor's way, So it's a great honor, and this
1:07
Speaker 1: one's at Windsor.
1:08
Speaker 2: They've never used Windsor.
1:09
Speaker 4: Castle for this before, and they who fucking in palace?
1:12
Speaker 1: And I want to say once better than the other,
1:15
Speaker 1: but they say Windsor Castle is the alternate rate.
1:18
Speaker 2: Also a little more private, which is one of the reasons.
1:21
Speaker 2: Also he's meeting with the king tomorrow.
1:23
Speaker 5: There is a huge security operation here in Windsor. This
1:28
Speaker 5: town is on a state of high alert, which is
1:31
Speaker 5: typical for a state visit. But what's not as typical
1:34
Speaker 5: is the level of welcome that the president is going
1:37
Speaker 5: to be getting. We're hearing that it's going to be
1:40
Speaker 5: the largest military parade and welcome in living memories.
1:45
Speaker 2: Luigi Manngioni. This is the alleged insurance boss killer, and
1:49
Speaker 2: New York judge has thrown out terrorism charges against him,
1:52
Speaker 2: so it's still going to face these second degree murder charges.
1:55
Speaker 2: Ideological motives alone don't make a crime terrorism, apparently, this
2:00
Speaker 2: is according to New York law. Right, So Hollywood, we
2:05
Speaker 2: go now legend. Robert Redford has died at the age
2:08
Speaker 2: of eighty nine. You're very nearly perfect. It's a rotten
2:11
Speaker 2: thing to see.
2:12
Speaker 4: Well, we were married.
2:13
Speaker 3: I thought you slept with a tie.
2:14
Speaker 2: No, just for very formal sleeps.
2:16
Speaker 6: I think that the time has gone when the American
2:19
Speaker 6: people realize that we're in this together and that we
2:24
Speaker 6: sink or swim together.
2:27
Speaker 1: I'll jump first, Nope, and you jump first.
2:30
Speaker 2: Oh, I said, what's the matter with you?
2:32
Speaker 6: I can't swim?
2:34
Speaker 2: Yes, you'll remember, butch Cassidy. The Sundance had my favorite
2:37
Speaker 2: all the President's men, of course about Watergate and Truth
2:40
Speaker 2: which was a more recent one, and you were one
2:42
Speaker 2: about George W. Bush. If you haven't seen it, check
2:44
Speaker 2: it out nine after five views.
2:46
Speaker 1: And views you trust to start your day. It's early
2:50
Speaker 1: editionship with Bryan Bridge and one roof love where you
2:53
Speaker 1: live news talks that'd.
2:55
Speaker 2: Be nine two nine two great to have your company.
2:57
Speaker 2: Now the hospitals you would have heard in the news
2:59
Speaker 2: there are a number of tafato. Order has done a
3:01
Speaker 2: thing with Brad Olsen from in for metrics looking at
3:04
Speaker 2: how short are they of nurses on any given shift.
3:08
Speaker 2: And last what's interesting to me is they're saying five
3:11
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty seven nurses every shift last year. We're short,
3:14
Speaker 2: we need more nurses, we need higher pay. You can
3:17
Speaker 2: expect what you expect from a union, right, But if
3:20
Speaker 2: you look at their this is from their own press release.
3:23
Speaker 2: You look at the numbers. Five hundred and eighty seven
3:26
Speaker 2: nurses short in twenty twenty four for your average shift.
3:30
Speaker 2: That's right across the country, and on some shifts that
3:34
Speaker 2: increases to eight hundred and forty eight nurses. Now that's
3:36
Speaker 2: not good. I mean, talk to any nurse and they'll
3:39
Speaker 2: say they run off their feet. However, the shortage was
3:42
Speaker 2: actually worse under the previous government, so in twenty twenty
3:46
Speaker 2: three it averaged six hundred and eighty four per shift
3:50
Speaker 2: the maximum nine hundred and thirty seven. So is the
3:56
Speaker 2: fact that this current lot hired an extra three thousand
4:00
Speaker 2: this is last year not a good thing. I guess
4:03
Speaker 2: we will never stop needing more nurses, according to the
4:06
Speaker 2: n z N. Now the global dairy trade auction numbers
4:09
Speaker 2: from overnight actually better than what the derivative market was
4:12
Speaker 2: saying it might fall five percent. Well we're down point eight,
4:15
Speaker 2: so yes, it's another dip. Not as bad as the
4:17
Speaker 2: last one. Down point eight whole milk powder down point eight,
4:21
Speaker 2: skim milk point three. Butter could be back on your
4:24
Speaker 2: toast soon, Well probably not but that's down point eight
4:28
Speaker 2: so softening continues. Output is increasing, demand is not keeping pace,
4:32
Speaker 2: and the collections have it. Look at the collections for
4:35
Speaker 2: the season up almost nine percent on last year, which
4:37
Speaker 2: I guess is what happens when your prices go up
4:40
Speaker 2: and you want, you know, why not meet it. This
4:42
Speaker 2: auction and the last one aside, still they reckon that
4:46
Speaker 2: we will get one percent growth year on year. This
4:50
Speaker 2: is two the month and two point four percent for
4:54
Speaker 2: next month. So for dairy farmers this morning, trend is
4:56
Speaker 2: still looking good. More highs likely, more record high likely.
5:00
Speaker 2: Brad Olsen on this next news talk setb the.
5:04
Speaker 1: News you need this morning and the in depth analysis
5:07
Speaker 1: early edition with Ryan Bridge and one Roote Love where
5:11
Speaker 1: you Live News talks at.
5:13
Speaker 2: Beaks a bit. It's five thirteen This business with the injunction.
5:16
Speaker 2: I am of the mind that even just because everyone
5:19
Speaker 2: might be out there on social media going hell for
5:22
Speaker 2: leather and talking about things that they should and that
5:24
Speaker 2: doesn't mean you change the law to say, yeah, that's okay,
5:27
Speaker 2: horses bolted, let's just lead. It isn't that the time
5:29
Speaker 2: where you double down and you say, right, well, we're
5:32
Speaker 2: going to double the penalties We're going to enforce this
5:34
Speaker 2: a bit more. We're going to have our own guys
5:37
Speaker 2: looking through and seeing who's actually posting this stuff rather
5:40
Speaker 2: than just giving in. You know, I think it's kind
5:43
Speaker 2: of a weak position, to be honest with you. Injunctions
5:47
Speaker 2: this is speaking generally are generally designed forward looking to
5:52
Speaker 2: try and protect certain parties who need protecting, innocent parties
5:57
Speaker 2: who need protecting. So do you just because you know
6:00
Speaker 2: the tap is running hot, do you just let the
6:03
Speaker 2: flood gates open? I don't think so. We'll talk to
6:05
Speaker 2: Paul Goldsmith about that. Before six fourteen, after five ram
6:09
Speaker 2: for food price is up five percent in the year
6:11
Speaker 2: to August. The dairy main driver mel cup sixteen percent,
6:15
Speaker 2: cheese up twenty six percent, butter up thirty two percent, meat, poultry,
6:18
Speaker 2: fish all up eight point one percent. Brad Olson in
6:20
Speaker 2: for Metrics with us this morning. Brad, Good morning to you.
6:23
Speaker 2: Good morning. Hey. Did you see the global dairy trade
6:26
Speaker 2: auction numbers overnight?
6:27
Speaker 7: Your thoughts I did a little bit down, I think,
6:30
Speaker 7: probably highlighting that. Look, we're still seeing our foster globe
6:34
Speaker 7: a bit of trying to find where things are going
6:37
Speaker 7: to level out in terms of both supply and demand.
6:39
Speaker 7: But I think also again on one hand, encouraging for
6:43
Speaker 7: households in the sense that you haven't seen in the
6:46
Speaker 7: food price data but is basically been flat the last
6:50
Speaker 7: three months. But at the same time, if you're starting
6:52
Speaker 7: to see the GDP come down, it does just makes
6:55
Speaker 7: you a bit nervous about those very high commodity prices
6:58
Speaker 7: that we're getting at the moment. If the GDT continues
7:01
Speaker 7: to fall, then yes, you might have ever so slightly
7:03
Speaker 7: cheaper butter prices, but the primary sector might not be
7:06
Speaker 7: earning quite as much either.
7:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they are expected to I mean either whole
7:10
Speaker 2: they should actually get to new record highs according to
7:14
Speaker 2: some economists.
7:16
Speaker 7: The yeah, well, I mean we're certainly hopeful of those
7:19
Speaker 7: better times to come. But again, I mean, you see
7:21
Speaker 7: that coming through in the food price data released yesterday,
7:24
Speaker 7: which does highlight that from a household perspective, you're still
7:28
Speaker 7: seeing some pretty big costs. Interestingly, though, again we're still
7:31
Speaker 7: seeing that those cost pressures are coming through in a
7:34
Speaker 7: more contained fashion. So you know, go back a couple
7:37
Speaker 7: of years when inflation was running rampant, and you really
7:39
Speaker 7: still quite a broad based level of inflation just about
7:42
Speaker 7: everything was increasing in price at a fairly rapid pace. Nowadays,
7:46
Speaker 7: it's not everything, it's just that it's quite a few
7:49
Speaker 7: of the high frequency items that you notice a whole
7:51
Speaker 7: lot more. It's the fact that you know, minces increased significantly,
7:55
Speaker 7: steak all of your dairy. But we've also seen in
7:59
Speaker 7: the latest food numbers just a few bits of easing.
8:02
Speaker 7: The likes of olive oil prices, which we're very high
8:05
Speaker 7: a couple of years back, are now starting to come down.
8:07
Speaker 7: The likes of coffee prices also easing, ever so slightly,
8:11
Speaker 7: still elevated, still expensive, but continuing to sort of shift
8:15
Speaker 7: in the right direction, you'd.
8:16
Speaker 2: Say, outside bred outside of food, we are seeing rents
8:19
Speaker 2: come down though, right, So does that sort of I mean,
8:21
Speaker 2: I see ASP's come out and said they probably are
8:23
Speaker 2: picking two point nine percent for September, which is below
8:27
Speaker 2: forecast of the RBNZ. So is there actually a silver
8:30
Speaker 2: lining to all this?
8:32
Speaker 7: Well, I think it's just so mixed, depending on exactly
8:34
Speaker 7: who you are and what you're buying. Yes, we've seen
8:36
Speaker 7: that that rental pressure has really eased back. That's generally
8:41
Speaker 7: a lot more concentrated in our urban centers. Auckland and
8:44
Speaker 7: Wellington in particular, So if you're renting in the regions,
8:47
Speaker 7: you're probably still not seeing all that much of a
8:49
Speaker 7: better sort of position there. But the one that worries me,
8:52
Speaker 7: I think the most. We spend a lot of time
8:54
Speaker 7: talking about rent and about food, but it's the energy
8:57
Speaker 7: prices that really get me. The fact that electricity and
9:00
Speaker 7: gas are up something like eleven and fourteen percent year
9:02
Speaker 7: on year respectively. Those are some pretty big gifty increases
9:06
Speaker 7: coming through for what a fairly vital costs. You can't
9:09
Speaker 7: choose not to have electricity or gas. You need to
9:11
Speaker 7: be able to sort of heat your home and cook dinner,
9:14
Speaker 7: So all of those sort of pressures show that look,
9:16
Speaker 7: it's mixed out there. But even then getting towards the
9:19
Speaker 7: top of the target band, yes, the Reserve Bank's still
9:21
Speaker 7: got more scope to cut things, but realistically that's still
9:25
Speaker 7: an uncomfortable level of inflation for everyone to be having
9:29
Speaker 7: to handle.
9:30
Speaker 2: Appreciate your time. Brad brad Elson, Infametric's chief economist. My
9:34
Speaker 2: mum used to say, don't put the heater on, just
9:35
Speaker 2: wear another jersey, put a jumper on. Ryan, Not that
9:39
Speaker 2: I'm saying that's what everyone should be doing at home
9:40
Speaker 2: this morning. It's but chilly. The interesting thing about this
9:44
Speaker 2: review of the Aviation Action Plan the government released yesterday.
9:47
Speaker 2: One of the things they're looking at is the cap
9:49
Speaker 2: on student loans, which apparently is the big barrier if
9:53
Speaker 2: you're a young person who wants to be a pilot.
9:55
Speaker 2: You cannot borrow all you need to borrow to in
9:59
Speaker 2: order to get get a pilot's license to cover your
10:02
Speaker 2: tuition fees. Why not we' look at that next.
10:06
Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day early
10:08
Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and One Route Love where you live.
10:13
Speaker 2: News Talk said, be it has just gone twenty after
10:15
Speaker 2: five on News Talk said be Aviation New Zealand fee
10:19
Speaker 2: Sorry Airways New Zealand fees. Getting a look under the hood.
10:22
Speaker 2: This is part of the reason, part of the reason
10:24
Speaker 2: why we pay more to fly around the country. The
10:26
Speaker 2: Associate Transport Minister, James Mega says, reviewing a bunch is
10:30
Speaker 2: reviewing a bunch of stuff. He's released the Aviation Action Plan.
10:34
Speaker 2: Billy Moore is the Airport's Association CEO with me this morning, Billy,
10:37
Speaker 2: good morning, good morning. What did you make of the plan?
10:41
Speaker 8: Well, we're really happy to see this plan come out
10:45
Speaker 8: it's hard to believe, but there's never really been a
10:48
Speaker 8: government aviation plan or strategy before, so this is the
10:52
Speaker 8: first time that something like this has come out where
10:55
Speaker 8: government and industry have come together, set some objective and
11:01
Speaker 8: we'll get some government if it's mobilized around the aviation sector.
11:06
Speaker 8: Most of the if it in government policy is very
11:08
Speaker 8: much in land transport, so we're really keen to make
11:11
Speaker 8: the most of this opportunity.
11:12
Speaker 2: How is it that we've had basically an outdated student
11:16
Speaker 2: loan cap for people who want to be pilots, you know,
11:18
Speaker 2: the loan doesn't cover the tuition fees.
11:22
Speaker 8: Well, it's been a big issue and something the industry
11:25
Speaker 8: has been talking with government about for a long time.
11:29
Speaker 8: We haven't got so far in this plan in terms
11:32
Speaker 8: of getting a commitment to listing the loan cap, but
11:35
Speaker 8: there is a commitment from Ministry of Education to work
11:37
Speaker 8: on the overall policy settings on pilot training. It is
11:41
Speaker 8: going to be essential to sort something out there. Pilot's
11:45
Speaker 8: going to be in huge demand globally as we get
11:49
Speaker 8: more innovations in the aviation sector, including vertical take off aircraft.
11:54
Speaker 8: We already have a shortage, so we've got to get
11:57
Speaker 8: a move on in that space. So at least we've
11:59
Speaker 8: got a commitment to a program.
12:00
Speaker 2: Now I see a Harkia is getting an upgrade. It's
12:03
Speaker 2: going to be the alternate for wide body aircraft. What
12:06
Speaker 2: happens with Auckland, Like if you're flying into Auckland and
12:08
Speaker 2: Auckland Airport's out of action, where do you go to
12:10
Speaker 2: in a big plane?
12:12
Speaker 8: Look, it's different for different airlines, but the key thing
12:16
Speaker 8: is that airlines need the certainty that they've got options
12:22
Speaker 8: for alternate lending. So it's really normal for them to
12:25
Speaker 8: have an alternate nominated. But a HAKIA is a really
12:28
Speaker 8: important one and we haven't had twee for seven options
12:34
Speaker 8: for a HAKIA to be available to the airlines and
12:36
Speaker 8: situations where there's safe or weather or other issues. So
12:41
Speaker 8: it helps a lot. Otherwise they need to carry more
12:45
Speaker 8: fuel to go further south, say the Christian Yees.
12:48
Speaker 2: So because basically if you're coming into Auckland, Auckland's out
12:50
Speaker 2: of action, there's nowhere you'd have to go, what to
12:54
Speaker 2: the South Island potentially.
12:56
Speaker 8: Sometimes to Wellington, but Wellington isn't always to be suitable,
13:00
Speaker 8: although it will be soon when they've got their runway
13:04
Speaker 8: upgrades completed. So it's about having more options just gives
13:08
Speaker 8: airlines greater certainty and we.
13:10
Speaker 2: Could at least get to a Hark ye but is
13:12
Speaker 2: that weird because it is the biggest airport, it's where
13:15
Speaker 2: most people fly into and the closest you can get
13:18
Speaker 2: is like a five hour drive.
13:21
Speaker 8: Yeah, look, Hamilton might be an option at some stage
13:24
Speaker 8: as well. The more options and good infrastructure that we have,
13:28
Speaker 8: the better. Really on this plan will also focus on
13:31
Speaker 8: the future infrastructure requires requirements we need in the system,
13:35
Speaker 8: including airspace and having a hakier on that list and
13:39
Speaker 8: the ability for that to be available for longer hours
13:45
Speaker 8: for airlines. It's going to be an important first step.
13:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, Billy, appreciate your time this morning. Thank you, Billy Moore,
13:49
Speaker 2: New Zealand Airport's Association Chief Executive. Because the other thing
13:53
Speaker 2: is you could go to Hamilton potentially, depending on the
13:56
Speaker 2: size of your plane, go to Hamilton, but then you
13:57
Speaker 2: need the border staff there. So then they have because
14:00
Speaker 2: I had a friend who was sitting on a plane
14:01
Speaker 2: on the tarmac and they were there, they were in
14:04
Speaker 2: New Zealand. But then you have to get the border
14:07
Speaker 2: staff out of bed or whatever and then get them
14:10
Speaker 2: in a car down to Hamilton before you can get
14:12
Speaker 2: yourself off the plane because you need to be processed
14:14
Speaker 2: through customs. Twenty four minutes after five, News TALKSVB will
14:18
Speaker 2: look at the lay of the land in the world
14:20
Speaker 2: of politics.
14:21
Speaker 1: Next the early edition Full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio
14:26
Speaker 1: powered by NEWSTALKSB.
14:29
Speaker 2: News Talks FB five twenty six This morning, Like it
14:32
Speaker 2: or not, next year's big dance and politics will ultimately
14:35
Speaker 2: be decided by the few, not the many. Most MMP
14:38
Speaker 2: elections have been the minnows hold the keys to the kingdom.
14:41
Speaker 2: Be it Winston with what will it be as best
14:43
Speaker 2: result ever potentially or to Party Malori with the overhand.
14:47
Speaker 2: Getting the Left in twenty twenty six won't be a
14:50
Speaker 2: twenty twenty landslide. The difference this time is how extreme
14:55
Speaker 2: some of those smaller parties, or more to the point,
14:57
Speaker 2: some of their MPs have become. Think Takuta on Indians,
15:01
Speaker 2: think Simon Court on Palestine. It's not just rhetoric though,
15:04
Speaker 2: but policy too. A separate Maldi parliament, renationalizing power companies,
15:10
Speaker 2: says Uncle Shane, you name it, they'll go there. The
15:12
Speaker 2: temptation for the behemoths, the broad churches, the big lots.
15:17
Speaker 2: Is to emulate what's getting traction, to dip your toe
15:20
Speaker 2: in the pool of radical ideas, to be establishment without
15:25
Speaker 2: looking or sounding like it. Trump and the Mega Movement
15:28
Speaker 2: are the best example of doing this. In the UK,
15:32
Speaker 2: parties that have been around since Moses was a linebacker
15:35
Speaker 2: are being absolutely whipped in the polls by newer upstarts
15:39
Speaker 2: with one thing on their pledged cards radical change. The
15:43
Speaker 2: Conservatives have been around for two hundred years, reform UK six.
15:48
Speaker 2: The big issues, of course do differ our cost of
15:51
Speaker 2: living malaise as their immigration, So the temptation must be
15:54
Speaker 2: to embrace a bit of that radical spirit, and Labour
15:58
Speaker 2: might just do that. Yet we just don't know what
16:00
Speaker 2: they're cooking up behind the scenes. My prediction, though, establishment
16:04
Speaker 2: parties will do what establishment parties do, stick to the script,
16:09
Speaker 2: copy paste the policies, hug the center like a koala
16:13
Speaker 2: to a tree, and I hope their buddies grab enough
16:14
Speaker 2: from the fraying edges to get them across the line.
16:17
Speaker 2: Their bet is that crises come and go, but established
16:21
Speaker 2: parties don't, even though the Brits and the Americans show
16:26
Speaker 2: us they can and do. Brian twenty eight after five
16:31
Speaker 2: News Talks, they b we'll get to speaking of MAGA
16:34
Speaker 2: and speaking of Trump, We'll get to the UK with
16:37
Speaker 2: Gavin Gray. Shortly. Trump's touching down for his second state
16:40
Speaker 2: visit there, and Lisa Cook, She's going to be at
16:45
Speaker 2: this meeting. The Fed's making big fed rate cup meeting
16:48
Speaker 2: coming tonight. We'll have that number for you tomorrow morning.
16:50
Speaker 2: By the way, inflation is running outside their target there.
16:54
Speaker 2: But will Trump's political pressure mean that they actually cut anyway.
16:58
Speaker 2: They've also had some soft job numbers, so they're worried
17:01
Speaker 2: about that. But guess who's going to be at the meeting.
17:04
Speaker 2: Lisa Cook. So Trump's you know, emergency request to remove
17:09
Speaker 2: her from this meeting hasn't worked. A federal appeals court
17:13
Speaker 2: overnight rejected the plea from the White House, so Lisa
17:18
Speaker 2: Cook will be there. I wonder which which way she
17:21
Speaker 2: will vote on this. One News Talks.
17:23
Speaker 1: Edb get ahead of the headlines on early edition with
17:34
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and one roof Love Where you Live News
17:37
Speaker 1: talks edby.
17:43
Speaker 2: Going it is twenty four away from six on your
17:45
Speaker 2: Wednesday morning. Great to have your company. Trump is touching
17:48
Speaker 2: down in the UK for his second state visit. He's
17:51
Speaker 2: very excited. The Brits will go to Gavin Gray shortly.
17:54
Speaker 2: Also this morning, the Justice Minister on the new crime
17:57
Speaker 2: not crime, but incarceration. You're more likely now than ever
18:02
Speaker 2: before to go to jail if you commit crimes. That's
18:06
Speaker 2: before six o'clock. Graham texts the program. Ryan watching Hipkins
18:10
Speaker 2: on the news last night on TV one saying that
18:13
Speaker 2: departsy Maldi are too radical to align with Labor. I
18:17
Speaker 2: don't believe them. Yeah, well, no one believes that. I mean,
18:20
Speaker 2: that's ridiculous. If it's the difference between getting into power
18:23
Speaker 2: and not getting into power, then you get into power,
18:25
Speaker 2: don't you. That's what politicians do. Luke says Ryan. I
18:29
Speaker 2: don't believe I'll be voting for the John Timmerheading Retirement
18:32
Speaker 2: Trust anytime soon. The thing is, I had Tipkins on
18:36
Speaker 2: my Herald Now show, this live streaming show in the
18:38
Speaker 2: mornings yesterday and asked them all about this, and he
18:41
Speaker 2: said his comments were in their current form, the way
18:47
Speaker 2: that these comments are being portrayed or the way that
18:50
Speaker 2: they were posted on social media, from taker to Fares,
18:54
Speaker 2: I won't there's no room for that in any government
18:57
Speaker 2: I lead. Now that doesn't mean anything. Literally doesn't mean anything.
19:01
Speaker 2: It means you could fall at the altar and say
19:05
Speaker 2: that you're sorry and it's all fine. Or it just
19:08
Speaker 2: means that you won't put him anywhere near cabinet, which
19:11
Speaker 2: was probably never going to happen anyway. So I'm with you, Graham.
19:15
Speaker 2: I don't necessarily believe that it means March twenty two,
19:17
Speaker 2: Away from six gray Bridge reporters around the country This
19:21
Speaker 2: morning Cullum Proctor in Duned and Culm, Good morning morning Ryan.
19:24
Speaker 2: This bird flu contamination farm we spoke about a we
19:27
Speaker 2: whiled back back in business, eggs on the shelves yep. Correct.
19:30
Speaker 9: Remember this was so the Mainland Poultry managed Hillgrove property
19:34
Speaker 9: back in December last year, two hundred thousand chickens cold.
19:38
Speaker 2: Due to the bird flu virus.
19:40
Speaker 9: But nine months on the back in business and new
19:43
Speaker 9: eggs have now been laid and repopulation eforts are in
19:46
Speaker 9: full swing there. The chief executive is John McKay. He's
19:50
Speaker 9: told us, look, it's been a tough long road to
19:52
Speaker 9: get to where they are now back up and running,
19:54
Speaker 9: but he's proud of how resilient they've been. He says,
19:57
Speaker 9: after having an empty farm having eggs out of sheds
19:59
Speaker 9: is light at the end of the tunnel and the
20:02
Speaker 9: whole experience has been a good learning one for the
20:04
Speaker 9: whole industry and how to improve biosecurity for the future.
20:08
Speaker 2: Right and your weather, callum.
20:10
Speaker 9: We've got some heavy rain on the way this morning,
20:12
Speaker 9: clearing this afternoon, those strong northerlies the high nineteen today.
20:16
Speaker 2: Thank you clears and christ Church clear, good morning, good morning.
20:19
Speaker 2: Forget about food prices, what about the Crusaders.
20:21
Speaker 10: Yeah, well, the Crusaders rugby franchise is sticking by this
20:25
Speaker 10: decision to lift to their prices for members for next season.
20:29
Speaker 10: Fans are able to secure their memberships from today. The passes,
20:33
Speaker 10: of course, will include some games at the new stadium,
20:36
Speaker 10: but not all. There are some concerns though about the
20:38
Speaker 10: price increases. For example, a family of four is now
20:42
Speaker 10: going to cost two and a half times more than
20:45
Speaker 10: what they've been paying so far. We spoke with the
20:48
Speaker 10: CEO of the Crusaders, though, Colin Mansbridge. He says, look,
20:51
Speaker 10: moving venues was always going to cost more because they're
20:54
Speaker 10: simply incomparable. He does warn there'll be more increases too
20:57
Speaker 10: beyond twenty twenty seven. He says, to be fair, though,
21:00
Speaker 10: you will be able to almost touch the players from
21:02
Speaker 10: the best seats, and he says these two venues are
21:05
Speaker 10: like comparing a Ford Cortina two eight ferrari.
21:10
Speaker 2: How's the weather cloud increasing?
21:12
Speaker 10: A few spots of rain about. We're under a strong
21:14
Speaker 10: wind warning two for northwesterlyes gusting ninety kilometers per hour
21:18
Speaker 10: the high twenty two.
21:19
Speaker 2: All right, thank you Max Is in Wellington, morning Max,
21:22
Speaker 2: Good morning at these priests gone back to the churches
21:25
Speaker 2: their congregations yet or what yeah?
21:27
Speaker 11: With the weather packing in last night in the capital.
21:30
Speaker 11: I certainly don't blame them. These were there were six
21:33
Speaker 11: Anglican and Catholic priests. I don't blame them not wanting
21:36
Speaker 11: to spend another night chained outside Nicola Willis's electorate office
21:39
Speaker 11: and they had been reduced to four before calling a night. Officially,
21:43
Speaker 11: they say they are happy their message was heard. Sanction Israel.
21:46
Speaker 11: That's what they've been calling for, even though they ultimately
21:49
Speaker 11: didn't get what they wanted, and that was a meeting
21:50
Speaker 11: with the minister. And a quote here from Nicola Willis,
21:54
Speaker 11: I will not be setting a precedent about the way
21:56
Speaker 11: to get a meeting with me is to don an
21:58
Speaker 11: adult nappy and chain yourself to a door. A little
22:02
Speaker 11: tougher response in Auckland though, by Simeon Brown, who got trespassed.
22:06
Speaker 11: Notices served on the five members of the clergy yesterday
22:09
Speaker 11: who tried the same stunt. They left pretty quickly when
22:12
Speaker 11: police arrived.
22:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, what did you think of it? I thought it
22:15
Speaker 2: was a little over the top from the like. I know,
22:19
Speaker 2: church numbers are down, so are they just sort of
22:21
Speaker 2: trying to take their message to the streets. I don't know.
22:25
Speaker 2: How's you wear the max?
22:26
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, you sort of resk getting people offside with
22:29
Speaker 11: the message. Cloud and showers very strong northwesterlies today getting
22:33
Speaker 11: up to fifteen.
22:33
Speaker 2: All right, thank you. Wendy's in Auckland with us this morning. Wendy,
22:37
Speaker 2: good morning, Great to see you you too. We've got
22:40
Speaker 2: an upgrade for our army barracks in South Auckland.
22:42
Speaker 7: We do.
22:43
Speaker 12: The government says there's a lot of work to do
22:45
Speaker 12: to address the decades of neglect in our defense force.
22:48
Speaker 12: News Talk z B has confirmed the barracks at Papacuta
22:51
Speaker 12: Military Base of being replaced after being vacated in May
22:54
Speaker 12: following the discovery of mold last year. Associate Defense Minister
22:58
Speaker 12: Chris Pinks says a defense data suffered from decades of
23:01
Speaker 12: under investment. He says some defense facilities have become outdated,
23:06
Speaker 12: leaky or moldy. Bank says the government has committed to
23:09
Speaker 12: this significant work that is needed to bring defense buildings
23:12
Speaker 12: to a modern standard.
23:14
Speaker 2: All right, house, our weather, Wendy, Well.
23:16
Speaker 12: It's looking a little bit better this afternoon. Cloudy periods
23:19
Speaker 12: with isolated showers in the morning and again those longer
23:21
Speaker 12: fine spells ofsavo northwesterlies. Heading for our eighteen degree high
23:25
Speaker 12: though it's pretty warm.
23:26
Speaker 2: It is very warm out there. It was slight sweat
23:29
Speaker 2: on the walk yesterday.
23:30
Speaker 12: Yes, I hear you same on a little run, a
23:32
Speaker 12: little bit sweaty.
23:33
Speaker 2: All right, very good, good to see Wendy. Thank you.
23:36
Speaker 2: Eighteen minutes away from six o'clock in Sweden. Because you
23:38
Speaker 2: know we've been talking about the phone bands, and we
23:40
Speaker 2: mentioned yesterday about France, well Sweden. From autumn twenty twenty six,
23:46
Speaker 2: all schools and all after school clubs have got to
23:49
Speaker 2: collect and hold the student's phones until the end of
23:52
Speaker 2: the day. And I was going to ask you for
23:54
Speaker 2: parents out there or for students who are listening on
23:58
Speaker 2: their way to roaming whatever it might be. Do you
24:00
Speaker 2: have to hand the phone in or is it just
24:02
Speaker 2: if you get caught with it then you get in trouble?
24:04
Speaker 2: Nineteen nine two. The number to text it is eighteen
24:07
Speaker 2: to six Paul Goldsmith, the Justice Minister. Before six next
24:11
Speaker 2: we're in the UK for Trump's big visit news talks.
24:14
Speaker 2: There'd be just gone quarter to six. Geez, loads of mum's,
24:17
Speaker 2: dads and kids off to Rowing this morning. I was
24:19
Speaker 2: just asking because Sweden is going to ban the phones
24:21
Speaker 2: like we have banned the phones in schools here. They're
24:23
Speaker 2: doing it from next year, and I just asked a question.
24:26
Speaker 2: Does the school take the phone off you when you
24:29
Speaker 2: arrive at school, put it in a box or something,
24:31
Speaker 2: or can you keep it on you all day? Ryan,
24:34
Speaker 2: Thanks for the shout out to Rowing this morning on
24:37
Speaker 2: my way to Saint Ken's where I cox. It's just
24:39
Speaker 2: if you get caught with it, otherwise it sits in
24:42
Speaker 2: my pocket all day. So there's your answer.
24:44
Speaker 1: Fourteen to six International correspondence with ends in Eye Insurance
24:48
Speaker 1: Peace of Mind for New Zealand Business.
24:51
Speaker 2: Second state visit for Donald Trump as he arrives in
24:54
Speaker 2: the UK very excited about this. How excited are the Brits?
24:57
Speaker 2: Scavin's with us this morning, Gavin, Good morning.
25:00
Speaker 13: Yeah, very very tied security operation on this, of course, Ryan,
25:04
Speaker 13: along with the recent assassination of the Charlie Kirk and
25:08
Speaker 13: the attempted hit on Donald Trump in the presidential campaign,
25:11
Speaker 13: so vast quantities of security personnel, police and others on patrol.
25:17
Speaker 2: He's due in the.
25:18
Speaker 13: UK a little later today and then begins a very
25:22
Speaker 13: exciting series of events. Exciting that is because this is
25:26
Speaker 13: really unique, the only time that we've ever seen a
25:29
Speaker 13: second state visit for a world leader, and Donald Trump
25:34
Speaker 13: I think, suitably flattered, lots of pomp and ceremony, and
25:37
Speaker 13: not surprisingly, this government wants to cash in and make
25:40
Speaker 13: the most of it. And that is why that we're
25:41
Speaker 13: also hearing that Google's owner Alphabet is announcing an eleven
25:46
Speaker 13: billion New Zealand dollar investment in UK artificial intelligence. That's
25:51
Speaker 13: going to mean data center improvements, It's also going to
25:54
Speaker 13: mean funding an advanced scientific research center and effect. Yeah,
26:01
Speaker 13: the going to be several other announcements of big American
26:04
Speaker 13: investments in the UK in the coming days.
26:05
Speaker 2: What's the feeling like there from the Brits about him coming.
26:09
Speaker 2: Is it mostly agnostic that a lot of what we're
26:11
Speaker 2: seeing in the media here is very negative.
26:14
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think there's going to be a bit of negativity,
26:17
Speaker 13: and that's why they have really really worked out his
26:21
Speaker 13: itinerary and how close he's going to come to the public,
26:25
Speaker 13: and of course with the public will be protesters, and
26:28
Speaker 13: I think as well, there are so few opportunities for
26:31
Speaker 13: those protesters to get near him within earshot. That seems
26:35
Speaker 13: to be a bit of apathy about it all actually,
26:37
Speaker 13: that it's all going to be, you know, rather difficult
26:39
Speaker 13: for people to get their voices heard. That said, I
26:43
Speaker 13: think there are plenty of people as well who think,
26:45
Speaker 13: you know, this investment is so needed. Today we've had
26:48
Speaker 13: a bad set of economic figures, so potentially that's good
26:51
Speaker 13: news on that front. But yeah, this is all about
26:54
Speaker 13: trying to impress Donald Trump with pomp and ceremony, and
26:56
Speaker 13: certainly when he found out he was to get this
26:58
Speaker 13: unprecedented second state visit, he made a big thing about
27:02
Speaker 13: saying what an honor it was for America, and dare
27:05
Speaker 13: I said, what an honor for him?
27:07
Speaker 2: Kevin Gray are UK, you're a correspondent. Cheers Gavin it
27:09
Speaker 2: is twelve to six crime Bridge, do the crime, do
27:13
Speaker 2: the time. This is new Ministry of Justice figures out
27:15
Speaker 2: this morning. The year to June seven, four hundred people
27:19
Speaker 2: were sent to prison following a conviction. That is a
27:22
Speaker 2: fourteen percent jump on last year, a thirty five percent
27:25
Speaker 2: jump on twenty two to twenty three. Paul Goldsmith, the
27:28
Speaker 2: Justice minister. Minister, good morning, good morning, how are you good?
27:32
Speaker 2: Thank you? Is that as high as you would want it?
27:36
Speaker 14: Well, I mean, our focus is not on a prison number.
27:39
Speaker 14: Our focus is on reducing the number of victims of crime.
27:42
Speaker 14: And so what we're seeing that there has been a
27:44
Speaker 14: bit of a rebalancing going on.
27:46
Speaker 2: You know, the.
27:46
Speaker 14: Previous government was focused on reducing the prison population come
27:49
Speaker 14: what may, and unfortunately that sort of at the same
27:52
Speaker 14: time we had a big increase in crime, and particularly
27:55
Speaker 14: violent crime. And so our focus is on reducing the
27:57
Speaker 14: number of victims of crime and if that leads to
28:01
Speaker 14: a higher prison population in the short term, will show
28:04
Speaker 14: be it a long term of course, we want to
28:06
Speaker 14: have less crime, less people in prison.
28:09
Speaker 2: Are the rates making sense? In other words, that a
28:12
Speaker 2: fourteen percent increase in prison sentences following convictions are we
28:17
Speaker 2: seeing a consummate four in violent crime reporting.
28:23
Speaker 14: Well yeah, I mean, look, all these figures are complicated,
28:26
Speaker 14: these big lags. The figure that we focus on in
28:30
Speaker 14: terms of our target is the Crime and Victims survey,
28:33
Speaker 14: of course, of cause, a lot of people don't report
28:35
Speaker 14: crime to the police and that doesn't go through the
28:37
Speaker 14: whole core process, but they're still victims, and on that
28:40
Speaker 14: score we are seeing an improvement. We had one hundred
28:43
Speaker 14: and eighty five thousand New Zealanders being a victim of
28:45
Speaker 14: serious violent or sexual offending when we came to power.
28:49
Speaker 14: That numbers down to one hundred and fifty six thousand.
28:51
Speaker 14: Still one hundred and fifty six thousand too many, but
28:54
Speaker 14: it is a significant improvement. So we're making progress. There
28:58
Speaker 14: are a fewer victims of crime, but there's a hell
29:00
Speaker 14: of a lot more.
29:01
Speaker 2: Work to do. Maldi two times more likely to get
29:03
Speaker 2: a prison sentence than non Maldi, non Maldi more likely
29:07
Speaker 2: to get a monetary sentence. Why racist judges or types
29:10
Speaker 2: of crime?
29:12
Speaker 14: Well, look, I think it's primarily the later. That if
29:16
Speaker 14: the vast majority of people who go to prison in
29:17
Speaker 14: New Zealand are there for serious violent or sexual offending, Yes,
29:23
Speaker 14: these stature are slight and increase in the number of
29:25
Speaker 14: people for drug offenses, but that's still a very small
29:27
Speaker 14: minority of people in prison. Most people going to prison
29:31
Speaker 14: in New Zealand have committed serious, violent or sexual offending.
29:34
Speaker 14: And you know, we make no apology. We need to
29:36
Speaker 14: have clear consequences for crime and our focuses on keeping
29:39
Speaker 14: the people of New Zealand safe.
29:41
Speaker 2: What's your take on the Tom Phillips in junction situation.
29:44
Speaker 2: Is your view that are because it's out there, just
29:46
Speaker 2: because it's on social media, we should let it run.
29:50
Speaker 14: No, it's not my view. My view is that the
29:53
Speaker 14: courts have imposed suppression orders and that's for the courts
29:57
Speaker 14: to decide, and I'm not going to interfere with that.
29:59
Speaker 14: In the new way shape, there is obviously a challenge
30:05
Speaker 14: in the sense that with the fact that people get
30:08
Speaker 14: their information all from all around the world and it's
30:10
Speaker 14: impossible to police the Internet and what people in Kazakhstan
30:14
Speaker 14: are saying on TikTok or whatever, then that's a challenge.
30:19
Speaker 14: And the only point I'd make is that nobody's presented
30:22
Speaker 14: me with an effective solution to that. But we're looking
30:25
Speaker 14: and if we could find one, we would, but in
30:27
Speaker 14: the meantime, the courts are doing the best they can.
30:29
Speaker 2: What's the punishment, because not just people in kazakhstance people here.
30:32
Speaker 2: What is the punishment?
30:35
Speaker 14: Well, I don't know the exact figure, but that there
30:38
Speaker 14: is certainly a potential finds for people who break suppression orders.
30:42
Speaker 14: Is a fine that's a matter for the courts to impose. Well,
30:46
Speaker 14: they may have more. I'm sorry, I just don't. I
30:48
Speaker 14: don't have the details in front of me. But the
30:51
Speaker 14: courts have the ability to enforce that. But that obviously
30:55
Speaker 14: is for them to and the police to make decisions
30:58
Speaker 14: around that.
30:59
Speaker 2: Do you think it's time to double down? I mean,
31:01
Speaker 2: whatever the punishment is, clearly it's not enough because people
31:05
Speaker 2: aren't scared enough, you know what I mean. And you're
31:07
Speaker 2: all about harsher penalties, so is this something you'll look at.
31:11
Speaker 14: Well, sorry, I'm not all about harsher penalties. I'm about
31:14
Speaker 14: consequences for crime. But I'm about reducing the number of
31:17
Speaker 14: victims of crime. That's our real focus. And you know, look,
31:20
Speaker 14: my primary focus is on trying to reduce the number
31:24
Speaker 14: of people who are victims of violent and sexual offending.
31:27
Speaker 14: And that's the number one priority. And there's still a
31:29
Speaker 14: huge amount of work to do there.
31:30
Speaker 2: All right, Okay, good to see Paul Goldsmith. Hoesday, Justice Minister.
31:33
Speaker 2: Time is eight to six. You're on you Tuesday. There's
31:36

Speaker 2: We're still going on about the make so you.
32:25
Speaker 4: Raised it, you started it. So first of all, my
32:28
Speaker 4: wife's now upset with you. What so she was a
32:30
Speaker 4: fan of yours yesterday, but she's upset with you now.
32:33
Speaker 4: She thought you'd take my advice about the putting the
32:35
Speaker 4: thing back on, and you just sort of dismissed it. Kate,
32:37
Speaker 4: I think a range of advice. Well, she didn't realize that.
32:41
Speaker 4: She thought you treated me with an element of respect
32:44
Speaker 4: and you'd put it on. More importantly than this, I
32:47
Speaker 4: was told that you are, and I'm disappointed in you
32:50
Speaker 4: for this, That you presented the story to me as
32:53
Speaker 4: though you just had it. The thing had fallen off
32:55
Speaker 4: the car. I've been told that it had been that
32:58
Speaker 4: way for a very long period of time, and you'd
33:00
Speaker 4: been driving around with it just dragging off the bottom
33:03
Speaker 4: of your car. And you're clearly one of those people,
33:05
Speaker 4: when presented with the problem, doesn't actually fix.
33:07
Speaker 2: It and just lets it go on. Here is I
33:09
Speaker 2: don't know where you get your information very good information.
33:12
Speaker 2: So what I thought was happening because I thought it
33:15
Speaker 2: was the shock exhorbers. Yes there was a sound, okay,
33:18
Speaker 2: but I never got down on my hands, and needed
33:21
Speaker 2: didn't look to see the problem. Don't look, don't see
33:24
Speaker 2: How many days.
33:24
Speaker 4: Did that drag on? For literally and figuratively weeks?
33:28
Speaker 2: Apparently so again, I was like, I gotta go. I've
33:29
Speaker 2: got to go and get my shop. Exhorbers done running
33:32
Speaker 2: around busy anyway, let's sort it all right.
33:36
Speaker 4: Hundreds of people saw you just dragging half your card
33:41
Speaker 4: except me, not a man who's into actually, so it's
33:44
Speaker 4: an interesting insight into your personality. So you're not interested
33:48
Speaker 4: in my advice, you're not interested problems.
33:51
Speaker 2: Now, you're not need to have any so sensitive I
33:53
