  Speaker 2: need to like look beneath the surface.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: It out.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: We had a twenty two percent increase in domestic investment.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: That is off the chance when we strip out inventories
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: and the negative effects of the surgeon mports because of
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: the terroriiffs, you had three percent growth. So we really
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: like where we're at now. He's sort of right. I'll
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: get to that later on. Ukraine ready to sign that
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: long awaited minerals deal with the United States. The Minister
• 1:41

  Speaker 2: escalating tensions following the terrorist attack can kashmm Here's CNN's
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Sophia Cipher.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: What we're anticipating is as the information that minister has
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: said without really sharing much evidence, that there is going
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: to be a strake, Pakistan has been on alert. At
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: the same time, India has also suspended the Indus Water Treaty,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: which had been around since the nineteen sixties, and Pakistan's
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: defenseman is still when this happened last week, came out
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: and said that this would be considered an.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: Act of war.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: And you know this chick. People love to hate Katy Perry.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know why people hate Katy Perry, but everyone
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: hates Katy Perry is the trendy thing to do at
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: the moment. Anyway, she has come out and said this
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: is about the backlash to her trip to space. She's
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: come out finally online and said she admitted feeling battered
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: and bruised by the reaction, saying the online world had.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Of course, she tried to be human and the online
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: world has brought her down. That's what the line world does,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: isn't it. That's your agenda?
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Nine after five, Ryan Bridge on affili edition with one
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: roof make your property search simple us dog zibby.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Now, this business about teaching financial literacy in school's easiest.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Yes from me. This year should have happened a long
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: time ago, but better late than ever, so I'm happy
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: with this. Last night I went on TikTok and if
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: you haven't done that before, it's the medical equivalent of
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: smoking an ounce worth of cannabis. It's brain rot it's
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: terrible for you anyway. So many of the stories were
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: young people complaining that they were poor, complaining that they
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: were broke, but also a lot of animosity, a lot
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: of hating on those with more means than them, you know,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: ripping into rich prick bankers and finance people because they
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: wear suits and therefore they must be evil. Some were
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: literally crying on the phone in the car about just
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: how unjust the world is. Now. This is a problem
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: because envy gets you nowhere in life, and envy won't
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: get you a new job, it won't balance your budget,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: it won't help you save, or once you get to
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: a certain point, won't help you invest. It's clear that
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: a lot of this is kids simply never having been
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: taught basic financial literacy. How interest works, how mortgages work,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: the fact that by the time you pay your house off,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: you've actually basically pay for it twice. How business works,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: how you can set up a business if you hate
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: your job and you've got a great idea saving the pennies,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: take care of the pounds. All of those things. Knowledge
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: is power, and with a bit of hope and a
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: bit of ambition, a bit of hard work and perseverance.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: I genuinely believe that anybody can achieve pretty much anything.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: It will be harder for some people than it will
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: be for others. But I genuinely believe that this country's
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: wealthiest man dropped down university lived off a packet of
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: noodles a day to build his business basically from the
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: ground up. Yes, there are trumps and there are silver
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: spooners out there, but actually these days there's more new
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: money than old. We should all want to live in
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: a society where financial freedom, and that will be different
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: for different people, whether that is just having a small
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: retirement fund, whether it's owning a home, whether it's being
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: a billionaire. We should all want to live in a
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: society where those things are possible, and that all starts
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: with knowledge, and knowledge you get by education. So I say,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: bring on the teaching bread. Bread's just gone eleven minutes
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: after five news talks. There'd big and also working. I mean,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: how many young people are working these days? And you
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: know I had to start a forced labors child labor. Actually,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: when mum got us on a paper round at nine,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: she did come around with us, and I mean, this
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: is the thing I have the benefit of a parent
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: who was very strict about true anything, but very strict
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: about you have to work for your own money, and
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: you do the paper round and then if you're lucky,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: you got promoted to doing the evening post, which pay more,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: and then the milk runt, you know, and so many,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: so many young key wes do this, but not as
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: much anymore, which is a shame. Nine two nine two
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: the numbers text it is twelve after five. Reaction to this.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Next the first word on the News of the Day
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: early edition with Brian Bridge and one Room Make your
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Property search Sivil News talks.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: That you're to the union on the strike today in
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: just a second, fourteen minutes after five. But the big
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: story this morning is what's happening in the US. Their
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: economy for the first quarter has contracted. It's gone backwards
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: point three percent. Now a couple of reasons for this.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Two reasons. Actually consumer spending slowed, those still up. Government spending,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: you know, Elon Muster has been slashing and burning. That's
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: come back as well. But the big problem was the
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: trade war. Everybody rushed out and you know, they said
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: this would happen. Everybody rushed out to get ahead of
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: the tariffs. So you import your iron ore, you import
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: your car parts, you import your machinery, whatever you can
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: get your hands on, just get it into the country
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: ahead of the tariffs. So they did that, and your
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: imports go through the roof, and then your net exports,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: which is what you're sending out versus what you're bringing in.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: They wipe five percent off your headline GDP number. That's massive,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: five percent off the headline number. Biggest surgeon imports since
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: nineteen forty seven in the United States. Now, this thing
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: is temporary. This is what I wanted to get to.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: This is temporary right overall. This is actually a pretty
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: solid number considering where America is. Mitch McCann is with
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: us out of the States after the news at half
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: past Ryan Bridge after five now, so financial literacy will
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: be taught two years one to ten in New Zealand
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: from next year. This is income, it's spending, it's saving,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: its interest, tax, insurance, you name it. Money Me CEO
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Neil Edmund is with me this morning to discuss Neil,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: good morning.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Ryan, how are you very well?
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Thank you? What's the level of financial literacy at the moment,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Like you know, how much do they know about money.
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: Well, I know some there's various programs available in schools
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: for quite a while now, but unfortunately, it just hasn't
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: been very clear in the curriculum exactly where personal finance
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: is to be taught or how, and so it's just
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: really heartening to see that the Ministry of Education is
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: coming out and saying that they've been getting a lot
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: clearer about what is to be taught and where. So
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: I think it's a really good thing.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they're doing it's going to be compulsory. There's
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: going to be resources going to all schools. What do
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: you think this will do for the kids and for
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: future generations of kids.
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: I think it's going to have a massive impact because
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: financial education and financial literacy is something that every single
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: person relies on as they go through life. They learn
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: how to manage their money and make the best use
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: of it, and up until now it hasn't been really
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: clearly promoted. I guess they're better good word to use
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: in schools, and so now that it is going to
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: be going forward, they're just going to be the position
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: to make a lot better financial decisions. They're not going
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: to have to do the trial and error that we
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: all had to do we were growing up into adults.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: You provide resources to seven hundred and fifty schools. What
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: are the kids, what are they most surprised to learn about,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: or what do they like learning about?
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: I think the feedback that we get from the kids
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: is they like pretty much all of it because they
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: realize that it's going to be things that they can
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: use in their own lives going forward. It's not abstract
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: things like economics or difficult things to get their heads around,
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: like trigonometry. It's actually real life stuff that they know
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: that they're going to use, and so we find that
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: the kids are actually genuinely enthusiastic about learning it, which
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: is great.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Do you who's most keen to learn about it? Do
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: you find kids who already have money or kids who don't.
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: I think it's a combination of both. The kids that
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: do have money, it's really important that they learn what
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: to do with it so that they can use it effectively,
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: so that they can they end up being generally being
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: the economic main economic contributors to driving the economy for it,
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: and certainly the kids that don't have it, it's important
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: that they know it because it's a way of helping
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: them get out of their current situation into a better one.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Neil, appreciate your trying This morning, Money me Ceo Neil Edmund.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: It is nineteen after five news talks. There'd be coming
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: up next. That's the strike. It's already underway. Four thousand
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: procedures and surgeries will be canceled. We'll ask why.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Bridge and one roof Make your Property Search Simple news talks.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: There'd be five twenty one news talks. There'd be lots
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: of feedback on the kids learning literacy and school of
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: financial literacy and schools. We'll get to that in just
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: a second. Right now, five thousand senior doctors striking. They're
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: about five hours into the strike. Now it ends at
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: midnight tonight. Four thousand surgeries and procedures that could have
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: happened today won't happen today. Doctor Katie ben is the
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: President Association of Salaried A Medical Specialists with me this morning, Katie,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, Thank you for being with me. Now,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: can you run us through I thought we would start
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: with just an example. Can you run us through what
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: your average day looks like? How long you're weak is
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: how long you're working, how bad the problem is.
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: Our forage day is eleven hours. You arrive at work,
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: you see the patient's booked for the morning. You have
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: to wait for a bit to find out if there's
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: a bed for them to go into, So you don't
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: know if you're actually going to start your theater list
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: on time because you don't know if the hospital can
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: take the patients after their operations. Theater lists usually start
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: close to time. You're then working non stops through the day.
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: There's not enough staff to give anyone a lunch break
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: or a key break, or in fact even a bathroom break.
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: So often I'm in theater or taking patients recovery or
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: getting on with the next case non stop for somewhere
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: about ten or eleven hours. Invariably because you didn't start
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: on time because you were waiting for the bed situation,
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: you run late. So I tend to finish work. I
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: should finish work about six if I tend to finish
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: working more like seven on most nights, and then I
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: come home. If I am on call, then I will
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: stay working and be available on my phone for any
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: emergencies throughout the night until eight o'clock the following morning,
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: So that's actually a twelve a ten hour day followed
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: by a fourteen hour on call overnight shift. Invariably you
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: are in and working for most of it.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: How many on call standard day? How many on call
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: are you doing on call every night?
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: Not every night? The frequency of on calls depends on
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: the size of the department you're in. So I will
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: be on call at least every four weekends.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: And how many days per week are you working? These
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: ten or liven Nowadays.
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: If I'm working a weekend, I'm working twelve.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Days on the drop, and then how many do get
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: off after that?
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: It depends. If you work the weekend in the middle
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: of the week's alday Monday to Friday, then I'll work
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: the weekend. Then I'll do Monday to Friday, and then
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: I'll get the weekend off, and then I'll be back
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: at work on Monday.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: And there's no toilet breaks, and there's no lunch breaks
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: or toilet breaks. If you're lucky, I mean, obviously you
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: have to do it what.
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: You tend to be honest, you tend not to drink
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: that much because you know you're not going to get
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: to the bathroom anyway, what do you get paid?
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Can I ask you?
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: I you are welcome to ask me. I am on
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: the AFMs mecha, which is a freely available document for
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: anyone to read. I've been a doctor for sixteen years
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: in this country, a senior medical officer, and I'm not
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: yet on the top step. So we have fifteen steps.
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: I am currently on step thirteen. So it's I'm trying
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: to work out if you're afternoon anything like that. Very rough.
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: I it's approximately two hundred and thirty thousand a year.
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: I'm checking my salary scale. Here we go, steps sen
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: I'm lying it's two hundred and fifty thousand.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Okay, do you know what I'm going to come I'm
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: going to come back up because we've just run out
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: of time. But I want to talk to some more Kate,
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: because there's a there's a good reason you're going on
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: strike today. I think you've outlined some of it. That's
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: doctor Kate Ben, president of the Association of Salary Medical Specialists,
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: on strike today. Twenty five minutes after five. We will
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: come back to her. You're on News Talks.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Heb the Early Edition film show podcast on iHeartRadio. Now
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: It by news.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Talks it me. You're on news Talks B twenty siven
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: minutes after five. Doctor Katie Ben, who's the president of
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: the Association of Salary Medical Specialists with me this morning,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: returning from before the break. They're on strike today. If
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: you're going to the hospital, you may have a problem.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Four thousand surgeries and procedures won't happen today that should
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: have happened, you will have been let know, doctor Katie,
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: thanks for staying with me over the break. Now you've
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: just outlined your what your workday looks like and what
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: you will pay is is this payoffer? The clincher here
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: is the fact that you're not getting a higher increase.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: What's making you strike.
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: What's making us strike is that we don't have enough
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: doctors on the roster. And in order to get more
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: doctors on the roster, we need to recruit more doctors
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: into New Zealand and we need to keep the ones
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: that we train here staying here. To do that, we
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: need to be competitive with salary in terms and conditions.
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: Because our closest neighbor is Australia, they're starting senior specialist
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: doctors will start on a higher salary than our finishing
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: senior specialist doctors.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: What would you get over there? Head? Do you know
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: how much or how much more might you get?
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: I looked into it. I would get one hundred thousand
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: more Australian dollars after tax per year for working approximately
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: sixty percent of the hours I work now support from
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: junior doctors.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Can I just be honest with you? Why don't you
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: do it?
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: I've settled in. I have family in Nelson who are
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: in school. I have friends, networks, communities, I have long
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: life here and also I feel I'm not Kiwi by birth.
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: I'm Kee we buy adoption and citizenship after being here
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: some years, I feel a sense of loyalty to the
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: country that housed me.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: He do that loyalty being tested at the moment. The
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: doctor strike will last. That was a fascinating insight, wasn't it.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: The day in the life of a senior doctor will
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: last until midnight Tonight News Talks B We'll get to
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: our reporters next little.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early Edition with
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and one Roof, Make your Property Search, Simple
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: News Talk ZIB.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Give Mourning. It is twenty four minutes away from six
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: welcome to your Thursday. Great to have your company. The
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: US economy is going backwards quoter one GDP data route.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: We'll get to Mitch McCann state side and Whinston Peter's
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: on the ferries before top of the lots of your
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: feedback on our doctor. We'll get to that a.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Little later on too, Bryan Bridge.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Right now, Mark Mitchell, he's got a bit on his
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: plate at the moment. He'll be happy with the score
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: he got from Audrey Young in her ranking of ministers
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: for midterm. But I reckon he is holding on to
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: a ticking time bomb. This is the case of the
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: beautiful young Colombian woman woman in christ Church living next
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: door to a monster. She didn't know he'd been let
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: out of prison ten weeks before he raped her and
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: stabbed her to death. He was on parole, by the way.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: And here's the problem. Corrections knew he was quote a
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: high high high risk. Any young attractive woman near him
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: would be a target. Poor Juliana Bonella head Eda. That
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: was the woman she lived next door. She didn't know
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: about his past, and Corrections somehow didn't know she'd moved
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: in next door to this animal. Now, since we spoke
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: about this the other day. A couple of things have happened,
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: a couple of updates for you, And this is where
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Mitchell comes in. This guy was on parole right, which
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: means he's been let out of prison early. Could still
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: be in prison, but you're not because we've let you out.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Now you wonder how many other high risk offenders like
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: this guy are released from prison early? And is this,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: you know, a good idea? Well? A senior correction staff
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: for this week says they're regularly being let out early
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: and let into the community, not just people like this guy,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: but people with quote even higher risk Here's what I reckon.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: This case and a long list of parole botch ups
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: before it are all the evidence you need that we
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: can't trust the system once these guys make it outside.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: The government should immediately pause the release of high risk,
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: violent thugs into our communities. Everyone loves to talk about
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: safety first. Well, here's a bloody good place to start.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: This ticking time bomb is in Mark Mitchell's lap, twenty
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: two minutes away from six News Talk to B. We'll
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: get to our reporters around the country now. Colum Procter
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: and Dnedin first Culum. Good morning to you, Hi, Ryan,
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Doc making some changes to a Feudland tract. What's this about?
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: This is the.
• 20:40
  Speaker 7: Lake Marion Track and a new viewing platforms being built
• 20:43
  Speaker 7: there where a young girl died in January twenty twenty four.
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: This was ten year old Tigue and Change. She was
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: on holiday from Australia when she slipped into the Marion
• 20:53
  Speaker 7: Creek from this platform and was instantly swept out of
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: sight in what is a very fast flowing creek there. Sadly,
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: Dosa's planning for the upgrade was underway before her death.
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: They say barriers there now will protect people while this
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: new platform is built, and the Lake Marion Track has
• 21:10
  Speaker 7: closed until May thirtieth. Access to the Falls track will
• 21:13
  Speaker 7: be limited during the construction of this new platform.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Okay, weather the odd.
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: Lightsholler from this afternoon mostly cloudy. Hi, have only ten today.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Clears and christ it's clear good morning. Feeding ka could
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: soon be illegal in the Selwyn district.
• 21:27
  Speaker 8: Well, that's right, Ryan. The district council, the Salwyn District
• 21:30
  Speaker 8: Council that is, has been investigating the possibility of a
• 21:33
  Speaker 8: bye law around feeding of kia for about two years now.
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: But they've told US that they're expected to provide an
• 21:40
  Speaker 8: update and some more clarity on that possibility within the
• 21:42
  Speaker 8: next six months. It says feeding kia is not good
• 21:45
  Speaker 8: for their health and can also encourage scavenging, which means
• 21:49
  Speaker 8: they come closer to humans and then of course have
• 21:51
  Speaker 8: a high risk of being hit by cars. If deemed suitable,
• 21:55
  Speaker 8: this by law would allow the Council to have the
• 21:57
  Speaker 8: legal authority to stop humans from feeding the birds. Questions
• 22:02
  Speaker 8: obviously in relation to how that may be policed. But
• 22:05
  Speaker 8: kia are of course listed as threatened internationally endangered with
• 22:09
  Speaker 8: a population of fewer than five thousand. How's you wear
• 22:12
  Speaker 8: the clear an orange heavy rain warning in place for
• 22:15
  Speaker 8: US until six to night met Services. We should expect
• 22:17
  Speaker 8: at least another one hundred millimeters of rain, moderate chance
• 22:21
  Speaker 8: of that upgrading to a red warning. Windy as well,
• 22:23
  Speaker 8: with southerly's the high only eleven.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Take care Max Wellington. How's your storm?
• 22:28
  Speaker 9: Yeah, strongest southerly's in the region for more than a decade.
• 22:32
  Speaker 9: Apparently not just today but tomorrow as well. That's the forecast.
• 22:35
  Speaker 9: Southerly southwesterlies up to one hundred and thirty k gusts
• 22:40
  Speaker 9: in twenty thirteen they had one hundred and forty so
• 22:42
  Speaker 9: strong biting winds, heavy rain as well, peaking at only
• 22:45
  Speaker 9: twelve thirteen ish degrees both today and tomorrow. Inter Runanda
• 22:49
  Speaker 9: crossings are already canceled until Friday are due to large swells.
• 22:53
  Speaker 9: There may be further disruption beyond that as well. We'll
• 22:56
  Speaker 9: be checking on trees, power lines, fences, roofs. This morning.
• 23:00
  Speaker 9: A couple of incoming flights canceled so far. We'll be
• 23:03
  Speaker 9: monitoring the Wellington Airport bulletin board. Bad elsewhere as well,
• 23:07
  Speaker 9: warnings in Bay of Plenty, Canterbury, k Colder, Marlborough, some
• 23:10
  Speaker 9: flooding around Canterbury and on the West coast, so not
• 23:13
  Speaker 9: just us and I guess now I don't need to
• 23:15
  Speaker 9: do the weather right.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: That's a great point. We're short on time, so I'm
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: pleased Max have a wonderful day. We'll try to set
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: a wonderful day. Neva's and Auckland Neva, good morning, greetings.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Now you're the sign.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: I know the people you're signed. I had to bring
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: this back because even though I started talking about it
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: a couple of days ago, we've hit a few inquiries.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: So what's happened, what's the decision. So I can tell
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: you that a replica of this popular fifteen meter blue
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: sign and pammua that's going to be placed at a
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: different location.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: A replica. What's wrong with the original?
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: Well, apparently it's not looking flesh at all. It's like, yeah,
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: I only couldn't fix it up. They couldn't. So the
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: local board did want parts of the original sign to
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: be incorporated, but you know, it wasn't viable due to
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: its condition. So I think it's really yeah, but craddy, craddy.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, so they'll get it. They'll get it one that
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: looks like the old one, and it's put in a
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: different place, at.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: A different location. But they won't reveal that location yet,
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: So there you go.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: It'd be funny if it wasn't pamure.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: So well, okay, betting down the heaches. As Max said,
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: we're getting that weather as well. We've got a shower,
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: strong winds. Twenty is the high you're.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: In Auckland, brilliant, never thank you. It is eighteen minutes
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: away from six year On news talk hereb the world's
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: largest economy is going backwards quarter one GDP data rat mark. No,
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: sorry mate, Mitch, goodness me Mitch is here from the
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: United States.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Next international correspondence with ends and eye insurance, feace of
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: It is quarter to seven. You're on a quarter to six. Rather,
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: you're on news talk seed be able to get to
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Mitch mccannon state side, Mitch, good morning, Good morning, Ryan.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: How are you. I'm very well, Thank you extually a
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: loud of breath, just just ran back to the completely
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: honest with you. But speaking of out of breath. So's
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: the American economy for quarter one? Yeah, that's right.
• 25:08
  Speaker 10: The US economy for the first three months of twenty
• 25:11
  Speaker 10: twenty five has essentially gone backwards. It's contracted at a
• 25:15
  Speaker 10: figure of zero point three or negative zero point three percent.
• 25:18
  Speaker 10: Now that's the first contraction of the US economy since
• 25:22
  Speaker 10: twenty twenty two. So that's significant news today. And you know,
• 25:26
  Speaker 10: for the majority of those months, Donald Trump in fact
• 25:28
  Speaker 10: was the president, but he said on social media and
• 25:31
  Speaker 10: in person, this was Biden.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: This wasn't Trump.
• 25:33
  Speaker 10: He said he was against the way that Biden was
• 25:35
  Speaker 10: destroying the economy. And the decline in the GDP for
• 25:38
  Speaker 10: this first three months was driven almost entirely by increases
• 25:42
  Speaker 10: in imports and The reason for that is that many
• 25:46
  Speaker 10: American businesses have been importing products from overseas before these
• 25:50
  Speaker 10: tariffs took effect to try and save their businesses. This
• 25:53
  Speaker 10: is a big issue for many businesses and of course
• 25:55
  Speaker 10: many Americans.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Some arguments would be, well, this is temporary, they've pulled
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: for those imports. But actually the underlying number wasn't too bad. Yeah, well,
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: that's right.
• 26:07
  Speaker 10: Donald Trump has alluded to that in this cabinet meeting
• 26:10
  Speaker 10: which he broadcasts for almost forty minutes earlier today, and
• 26:12
  Speaker 10: he pointed out the fact that one of the figures,
• 26:15
  Speaker 10: one of the positive figures, was really high, and there
• 26:17
  Speaker 10: was private investment in the United States was up around
• 26:20
  Speaker 10: twenty two percent. And we've seen that from some of
• 26:22
  Speaker 10: these large companies like Oracle, you know, other blood companies,
• 26:26
  Speaker 10: tech companies like that that have decided to build billion
• 26:29
  Speaker 10: dollar businesses in the United States. So while the overall
• 26:32
  Speaker 10: figure was negative, Donald Trump says, there are a few
• 26:35
  Speaker 10: bright spots in there.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: Ukraine apparently ready to sign this mineral deal with the US.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Is the US going to sign it? Do we know?
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 26:42
  Speaker 10: Well, in that same cabinet meeting, the Treasury Secretary Scott
• 26:45
  Speaker 10: Besson said that yes, they are ready to sign it
• 26:48
  Speaker 10: as early as this afternoon. This is a deal that
• 26:50
  Speaker 10: would give the United States access to the rich minerals
• 26:53
  Speaker 10: in Ukraine for an exchange for continued aid for the
• 26:57
  Speaker 10: war against Russia. Although Donald Trump is said in the
• 27:00
  Speaker 10: week their war could be over in a matter of weeks,
• 27:03
  Speaker 10: although he has pointed out that he now thinks Vladimir
• 27:06
  Speaker 10: Putin could be stringing him along.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: All right, Mitch, we'll leave it there, thanks mate, Mitch.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: We can our US correspondent with ours stateside this morning
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: time is twelve minutes away from six News Talk Seed Beat.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: We're going to get to Winston Peters in just a
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: few moments because the Outher Teddy I mean sailings actually
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: generally aren't happening much in Wellington at the moment because
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: of the weather. But the Other Teddy won't be operating
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: for the next wee. While we got Winston Peters, we
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: do so inter island a fleet will go from three
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: to two. Key Rail set to retire one of its ferries.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: It's been a long haul of the other Teddy. Yes,
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: it's the same one that ran around and picked in
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: last year. If you were wondering the two new rail
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: fairies currently expected to arrive twenty twenty nine. Winston Peter's
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: the rail minister with me this morning, Minister, good morning,
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: good morning. So one hundred and twenty million dollars is
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: what it would have cost to upgrade a port to
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: keep this particular fury running for the next three years
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: as a stop gap? Is that right.
• 28:03
  Speaker 11: Now it would be an attempt to try and juggle
• 28:06
  Speaker 11: things around while you built a temporary arrangement to fill
• 28:10
  Speaker 11: things out in the meantime. And really that was a cost.
• 28:14
  Speaker 11: It didn't make any sense at all, and so the
• 28:18
  Speaker 11: decision has been made vi qu Rail to ensure that
• 28:22
  Speaker 11: we maintain a service not as good as a pass,
• 28:27
  Speaker 11: but something that will enable us to appare properly for
• 28:29
  Speaker 11: the future. With the kaitiarchy and.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: Kayah down to two vessels, what does that mean for crossings?
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: How many few are, how much less freight? What's the
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: impact on our.
• 28:43
  Speaker 11: Well, it'll be supplemented by it'll be submitted the fair question.
• 28:46
  Speaker 11: It will be suppmented by added shipping around the coast
• 28:50
  Speaker 11: as well and a reformulated program. But they've assured both
• 28:56
  Speaker 11: us and the customers, their customers that it can be
• 29:00
  Speaker 11: done where confident it can be. The real issue here, though,
• 29:03
  Speaker 11: of course, was a serving enormous amount of money that
• 29:06
  Speaker 11: would have been lester than the old plans, which is,
• 29:09
  Speaker 11: you know, blown out from the very modest figure we
• 29:14
  Speaker 11: started with to almost on the treasury four billion dollars.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: I get that. But you're saying the one hundred and
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: twenty million dollars is what we would have to pay
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: in order to have three ferries operating for the next
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: three years. Is that what you're.
• 29:29
  Speaker 11: Saying, No, it's far more complicated than that. What has
• 29:34
  Speaker 11: happened a course, is that there's always going to be
• 29:36
  Speaker 11: at time when we had to deal with the particularly
• 29:40
  Speaker 11: the side of the of the shipping lane that's set
• 29:46
  Speaker 11: at the top of the South Island, that was always
• 29:48
  Speaker 11: going to beg the a major problem, and we've only
• 29:51
  Speaker 11: got two hundred meters of face to work and as
• 29:55
  Speaker 11: a consequence, trying to adjust to get the Chrea to
• 30:00
  Speaker 11: continue would have required that one hundred and twenty million
• 30:04
  Speaker 11: plus expenditure rather than to take this is that Kere
• 30:08
  Speaker 11: Rail has taken right.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: So it is fair to say that without one hundred
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: and twenty million dollars we wouldn't be able to have
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: arditating operating exactly right, okay.
• 30:19
  Speaker 11: And also and also we are trying to build something
• 30:23
  Speaker 11: for the next sixty years in terms of infrastructure, totally
• 30:26
  Speaker 11: get that's a critical point.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: But for the next three years or three and a
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: half years, are you saying there will be no impact
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: on our supply chains on our freight.
• 30:36
  Speaker 11: There will be an impact, but nothing that cannot be
• 30:39
  Speaker 11: handled that we've been assured by a q rail example,
• 30:42
  Speaker 11: seating on the fairy feet for passioners and carerail is completent,
• 30:45
  Speaker 11: can accommodate fate. It will make changes, for example, to
• 30:48
  Speaker 11: its rail fate and ferry federals to optimize the supply chain.
• 30:52
  Speaker 11: So fairy faith like grain isn't going to be transferred
• 30:55
  Speaker 11: into rail fairs. So if more likely we'll go mostly
• 30:59
  Speaker 11: go by a way of shit. But you can see
• 31:01
  Speaker 11: that the read asments that have to be made. But
• 31:04
  Speaker 11: in the end, no, we'll keep the supply line going
• 31:07
  Speaker 11: while preparing for a far better future.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: We are talking about nine hundred and twenty cars one
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: hundred and twenty rail cars per day that'll be taken
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: out of action. You're saying we are going to be
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: able to find a solution of work around for all
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: of that, so there's no disruption. It does sound ambitious, well.
• 31:29
  Speaker 11: Yes, ambitious it is, but this was always a huge
• 31:32
  Speaker 11: problem when it was first contemplated to cook straight because
• 31:35
  Speaker 11: of its nature. However, it is a decision that has
• 31:39
  Speaker 11: to be made and we've gone over the figures with
• 31:43
  Speaker 11: q Rail. We've gone over the calculation with Qrail after
• 31:46
  Speaker 11: the massive correction that we have made when I got
• 31:48
  Speaker 11: the job as minister last year in December. And we're
• 31:52
  Speaker 11: on our way now and look passion has traveling with
• 31:56
  Speaker 11: their cars might find the most popular da data settings.
• 32:00
  Speaker 11: Look up fast at especially busy title of the year,
• 32:03
  Speaker 11: but evening savings will be on off or they're going
• 32:06
  Speaker 11: to change the schedules to time. If you've the Clevis
• 32:09
