0:08
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty four on the early edition with Smith City,
0:12
Speaker 1: New Zealand's furniture events and a player store New Storks.
0:15
Speaker 2: It'd be good morning, New Zealand. It is six half
0:17
Speaker 2: to five. Great to have your company. I hope you
0:19
Speaker 2: enjoyed your weekend and looking forward to a big week
0:21
Speaker 2: this week. Dan Bolton from silver Fern Farms is with us.
0:24
Speaker 2: He's been with us a few times now. We're talking
0:26
Speaker 2: the red meat sector, how they're going to fare the
0:29
Speaker 2: Labor Party conference at the weekend. Lots of promises made.
0:34
Speaker 2: Should they really have made any promises at all? Stuart
0:37
Speaker 2: Nash on the show just before four. K Oliver is
0:39
Speaker 2: in the UK for us this morning. And look, this
0:43
Speaker 2: is an old story but I only just found out
0:45
Speaker 2: about it through the international media. It's to do with
0:48
Speaker 2: one of our Christmas parades here in New Zealand. We'll
0:51
Speaker 2: get that shortly too.
0:54
Speaker 3: The agenda.
0:55
Speaker 2: It is Monday, the second of December. It's the worst
0:58
Speaker 2: fighting in years. This is in Syria. Alissade under attack.
1:02
Speaker 2: This is the second largest city of Aleppo, where opposition
1:05
Speaker 2: fighters have now taken control and the Syrian government troops
1:09
Speaker 2: are withdrawing.
1:10
Speaker 4: We enter Aleappo as liberators God willing to end the
1:14
Speaker 4: oppression of the people, advise all our brothers not to
1:17
Speaker 4: enter people's homes.
1:18
Speaker 2: It is essential that there are no violations. See Alissade's
1:21
Speaker 2: in trouble here because he's actually in hiding. By the way,
1:24
Speaker 2: no one knows where he is at the moment, somewhere
1:26
Speaker 2: in Damascus. But his problem is that his allies are
1:29
Speaker 2: quite busy. Russia fit busy with Ukraine at the moment.
1:32
Speaker 2: Iran bit busy with a few proxy wars, including Lebanon
1:35
Speaker 2: and Gaza.
1:36
Speaker 4: Right.
1:37
Speaker 2: Black Friday spending this is the United States, not US,
1:39
Speaker 2: but it was pretty muted apparently this year, up three
1:43
Speaker 2: point four percent in total though, which kind of was
1:45
Speaker 2: in line with what they were talking about. Spending wise
1:48
Speaker 2: on Friday out of the States, so MasterCards, he's spending
1:51
Speaker 2: it in person at stores was up just zero point
1:53
Speaker 2: seven year on year, but online spending up fourteen point
1:58
Speaker 2: six percent. Estimated eighteen billion New Zealand dollars was spent
2:03
Speaker 2: on Black Friday in the United States. Georgia still fighting
2:07
Speaker 2: over where to join the EU, and their recent election
2:09
Speaker 2: result was following a government decision to put negotiations to
2:12
Speaker 2: join the EU on hold. People don't think that the
2:16
Speaker 2: most recently elected president should actually be the president because
2:19
Speaker 2: the election was a farce. Anyway, She's not going anywhere.
2:22
Speaker 5: I am president because I've been elected by the people,
2:26
Speaker 5: and I'm president, and til the time when zinagare to
2:31
Speaker 5: the president that is legitimately elected by illegitimately elected parliament.
2:38
Speaker 2: Twelve people have died in widespread flooding impacting Malaysia and Thailand.
2:43
Speaker 2: More than one hundred and thirty thousand people have been displaced,
2:45
Speaker 2: and rescuers are still working to locate stranded residents. It'sis
2:50
Speaker 2: Goneline up to five.
2:51
Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth
2:54
Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Swift City, New
2:58
Speaker 1: Zealand's Furniture, Beds and Appliance News Talks.
3:01
Speaker 2: It'd be nine minutes after five. Great to have your company.
3:04
Speaker 2: We are going to talk about some of the promises
3:06
Speaker 2: that Labor made during the conference at the weekend, like
3:10
Speaker 2: the one we won't join ORCUS. Is it a smart
3:12
Speaker 2: thing to do or would you leave that as a
3:14
Speaker 2: bit of a bargaining chip up your sleeve when you're
3:17
Speaker 2: dealing with a Trump administration anyway, they have decided to
3:21
Speaker 2: rule that out. So we'll talk about that later, both
3:22
Speaker 2: with Stuart Nash and also just before the news at
3:25
Speaker 2: five point thirty today, kee We Women. This is a
3:29
Speaker 2: press release from Who's this from a women's group, Global
3:35
Speaker 2: Women have put out a press release ki we women
3:38
Speaker 2: effectively working for free from today. Gender pay gap now
3:41
Speaker 2: at eight point two percent for al to that is
3:44
Speaker 2: actually down the pay gap point four percent. So en momentus,
3:49
Speaker 2: you know, it's a it's a movement in the right direction.
3:51
Speaker 2: I suppose, isn't it. So At the moment, the calculated
3:55
Speaker 2: pay gap eight point two percent, the average Kiwi woman
3:58
Speaker 2: is paid for two hundred and forty point five working
4:02
Speaker 2: days for the equivalent two hundred and sixty two working
4:06
Speaker 2: days for men in twenty twenty four. And the moral
4:10
Speaker 2: of the story is work harder, ladies, all right, and
4:15
Speaker 2: probably stop talking. That's what's probably wasting all the you know,
4:20
Speaker 2: a little less yapping, a little less yapping will close
4:23
Speaker 2: the gap.
4:24
Speaker 3: How's that?
4:25
Speaker 2: It's eleven minutes after five news Talk, said Ryan Bridge.
4:35
Speaker 2: I can't wait till Leva comes in. Leava's coming in
4:38
Speaker 2: for news just after five thirty this morning. Adam Cooper
4:42
Speaker 2: is with us with sport coming up as well as
4:44
Speaker 2: Dan Bolton Silver Fern Farms. Your own news Talk said.
4:47
Speaker 3: Be get ahead of the headlines.
4:58
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge you for twenty two twenty four on early
5:01
Speaker 1: edition with Smith City, New Zealand, Fourniture Beds and a
5:04
Speaker 1: Planet Store News Talks.
5:06
Speaker 2: It'd be thirteen after five nine two nine two is
5:08
Speaker 2: the number to text. Here's a quick question for you.
5:11
Speaker 2: If you leave your house for a long weekend or
5:14
Speaker 2: to go away for a night even, do you turn
5:16
Speaker 2: every single plug in your house off. My partner insists
5:20
Speaker 2: that we do this every single time we go. Sometimes
5:23
Speaker 2: even if it's if we're going out for the evening
5:26
Speaker 2: and coming, you know, staying that night, every single plug
5:29
Speaker 2: has to go off. It's a little paranoid if you
5:32
Speaker 2: ask me. But they should have done it in this
5:35
Speaker 2: home in Greenheight and Auckland because they bought a teamur
5:38
Speaker 2: Did you see this in the news. They bought a
5:40
Speaker 2: TEAMU charger, which is that cheap knockoff website where you
5:45
Speaker 2: can buy things for a dollar. It was a flashing
5:48
Speaker 2: green charger. I put it in their house anyway, it
5:51
Speaker 2: exploded while they were out. The house caught fire, significant damage.
5:55
Speaker 2: The thing was just you know, up in flames. And
5:58
Speaker 2: apparently they put they put this green flashing cord next
6:03
Speaker 2: to a pillow in the bedroom to stop a rabbit
6:07
Speaker 2: from eating the cord. And it seems like this is
6:10
Speaker 2: the quote from Fens, it seems like the cord being
6:13
Speaker 2: so hot, just caught the bed on fire and it
6:15
Speaker 2: all went off. So there you go. I guess be
6:17
Speaker 2: careful where you buy your charges, where you put them,
6:21
Speaker 2: and maybe be a little more paranoid when you leave
6:23
Speaker 2: the house. It's fourteen after five, Bryan Bridge. We're going
6:27
Speaker 2: to Dan Bolton, our Silverfern Farms chief executive, for our
6:30
Speaker 2: real catch up. So we've had the dairy headline numbers
6:34
Speaker 2: doing quite well, but what about the red meat sector?
6:36
Speaker 2: What about the Trump's and Trump's tariffs and also our
6:41
Speaker 2: disputes with Canada. It's great to have Dan back on
6:45
Speaker 2: the program. Dam good morning, Good morning, Ryan, great to
6:48
Speaker 2: talk to you. Let's start with the whole Trump tariff thing.
6:52
Speaker 2: How you guys worried about that.
6:55
Speaker 6: I mean, clearly there's some big predicts and promises there
6:58
Speaker 6: around blanket tariffs, and they created some big headlines here
7:01
Speaker 6: in New Zealand and sort of made us sit up
7:03
Speaker 6: as a large export nation in the US market is
7:07
Speaker 6: a really important market for our sheep, beef and venicson
7:10
Speaker 6: farmers and that market's going extremely well for us. But
7:13
Speaker 6: when our viewers, there's still a lot of water to
7:15
Speaker 6: go under the bridge between now and the twentieth of
7:18
Speaker 6: January and where the New Zealand will actually be affected,
7:22
Speaker 6: you know, and whether those tariffs are going to be
7:23
Speaker 6: more targeted versus blanket, and we're sort of seeing, you know,
7:27
Speaker 6: they're definitely going to be focusing on nations that is
7:30
Speaker 6: a trade of balance with the US, and luckily New
7:33
Speaker 6: Zealand in the US is quite a balanced trade position.
7:36
Speaker 6: And I think for us, the US is very very
7:39
Speaker 6: short on beef at the moment, you know, and they're
7:41
Speaker 6: going to be relying heavily on us over the next
7:44
Speaker 6: few years. So, you know, I think for us, there's
7:46
Speaker 6: a lot of waters to go under the bridge. The
7:48
Speaker 6: chances of a blanket tariff is is probably less likely
7:53
Speaker 6: than we think, but we are watching it very closely
7:55
Speaker 6: and we're also seeing, you know, consumers in the US also,
7:59
Speaker 6: you know, a very up in arms around the impact
8:01
Speaker 6: of increasing food prices with those as well, so we're
8:05
Speaker 6: monitoring it. You know, a lot of water to go
8:07
Speaker 6: into the bridge, but you know, several farms. We're really
8:11
Speaker 6: good at sort of managing.
8:12
Speaker 3: Sort of geopolitical and trade changes.
8:15
Speaker 6: You know, we export to over sexty country.
8:17
Speaker 2: Bit you got to be on top of this. You
8:21
Speaker 2: when you're when you're a really exported like us, how
8:24
Speaker 2: is how how are exports doing generally in the sector
8:27
Speaker 2: at the moment. How are exports doing? How are we presuing?
8:30
Speaker 6: Well, we've just come off our farmer roadshows and we've
8:32
Speaker 6: shared a lot of optimism as we move into twenty
8:35
Speaker 6: twenty five. You know, we're seeing some big global supply
8:38
Speaker 6: dynamics swimming back into our favor, which is going to
8:40
Speaker 6: be good for our farmers. And and then what we're
8:42
Speaker 6: also seeing on the back of climate change and some
8:45
Speaker 6: you know, other large producer nations, food security is becoming
8:48
Speaker 6: a real concern for some of our high value customers offshore.
8:51
Speaker 6: So that's another positive sign for Newland. And so you
8:54
Speaker 6: know we start to see that see both of those
8:56
Speaker 6: play out, and you know, already in the Q the
8:59
Speaker 6: last quarter of this year, we're seeing land pricing recover well,
9:02
Speaker 6: you know, backups over the eight dollar mark, and that's
9:04
Speaker 6: favorable and we're seeing that continue into into twenty twenty five.
9:09
Speaker 6: The UK is going to be short and we're seeing
9:11
Speaker 6: some good year on the year price this and on beef,
9:14
Speaker 6: you know, some record pricing out the farm gate at
9:17
Speaker 6: this point in time, particularly off the back of the
9:19
Speaker 6: US being very short, so and we're seeing that going
9:21
Speaker 6: to be continuing for some time as well. So lots
9:24
Speaker 6: of the tailwinds which our farmers desperately need. So we're
9:29
Speaker 6: looking forward to a pretty exciting twenty twenty five.
9:32
Speaker 2: This Canada's dispute that we've gotten, we've had Todd McLay
9:35
Speaker 2: over in Canada meeting with them to talk about it
9:37
Speaker 2: in the last couple of days. Anything to do with
9:39
Speaker 2: red meat or is this all a dairy thing?
9:42
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's all a dairy thing, So I think we're
9:44
Speaker 6: pretty safe there.
9:46
Speaker 2: Nice all right, Dan, thank you very much for being
9:47
Speaker 2: with us. Really appreciate it, Dan Bolton, silver Fin Farms,
9:50
Speaker 2: Chief Executive. You're on news Talk, said b It is
9:52
Speaker 2: eighteen after five numbered text nine to nine two on.
9:57
Speaker 1: Your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early Edition with Ryan
10:01
Speaker 1: Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds and a
10:05
Speaker 1: playing store.
10:05
Speaker 3: News Talk said, B.
10:07
Speaker 2: It is twenty after five year on news Talk said,
10:09
Speaker 2: B is this true that the Santa Parade and christ
10:13
Speaker 2: Church the christ Church Christmas Show parade is what it's called.
10:19
Speaker 2: Is it true that you can only go five kilometers
10:21
Speaker 2: an hour and have to wear a seat belt? I
10:23
Speaker 2: mean not that you should go faster, but that you
10:24
Speaker 2: have to wear a seat belt when you do that.
10:26
Speaker 2: Evan Santa and his elves, it's got a big ballot.
10:31
Speaker 2: He's got a lot of cushion if something were to happen,
10:34
Speaker 2: and he's got all of his you know, sacks filled
10:36
Speaker 2: with presents around him, which are like year bags. He
10:39
Speaker 2: doesn't need to go wear a seat belt going five
10:41
Speaker 2: kilometers an hour. I wouldn't have thought. Twenty one minutes
10:44
Speaker 2: after five Bridge bought with Adam coopan now the Black
10:47
Speaker 2: Cats of Boston, England at him.
10:49
Speaker 4: Yeah.
10:49
Speaker 7: Pretty disappointing, Ryan Morning, Yeah, not not a great sort
10:52
Speaker 7: of start to this, you know, much anticipated series. And
10:55
Speaker 7: I think what's probably most frustrating for from a New
10:58
Speaker 7: Zealand perspective on this one is is that the hosts
11:01
Speaker 7: there in christ Church since Thursday, certainly had their chances
11:04
Speaker 7: and had their opportunities to capitalize on a pretty evenly
11:08
Speaker 7: poised tests, you know, which it was for at least
11:10
Speaker 7: the first couple of days. And I think the real
11:13
Speaker 7: takeout from that was eight dropped catches in that first
11:16
Speaker 7: innings of England they managed to get four hundred and
11:19
Speaker 7: ninety nine, which you know, compared to New Zealand's three
11:22
Speaker 7: hundred and forty eight first innings. That's where the Test
11:24
Speaker 7: was won. And when there's eight dropped catches in the innings,
11:27
Speaker 7: it's more than just coincidence, it's more than just chance.
11:30
Speaker 2: So yeah, pretty disappointing.
11:31
Speaker 7: This black Caps team at one point in the last
11:34
Speaker 7: of five six years, have been you know that the
11:37
Speaker 7: world leaders in fielding. It was one of those aspects
11:40
Speaker 7: of New Zealand's game that made them, you know, sit
11:43
Speaker 7: right at the top of the world cricket standings and
11:46
Speaker 7: be competitive. So pretty worrying to just to see how
11:49
Speaker 7: many catches were dropped by the black Caps there, and
11:52
Speaker 7: you know, England just just were able from that moment
11:54
Speaker 7: to guide through, didn't have to take too many risks
11:57
Speaker 7: and wrap up a very comprehensive eight wicket win over
12:00
Speaker 7: New Zealand. So two tests to go, so still winnable
12:02
Speaker 7: for New Zealand. Starts next test starts Wellington on Friday.
12:06
Speaker 7: All right, what's happening with the IF one in Qatar?
12:08
Speaker 2: Apparently Liam Lawson's been that we was up and then
12:10
Speaker 2: he was down and then was up again.
12:12
Speaker 7: Has it looking Yeah, he's sort of sort of holding
12:14
Speaker 7: that sort of seventeenth spot where he started on the grid.
12:16
Speaker 7: Been watching actually very closely what happened at the starting
12:19
Speaker 7: grid obviously, But a controversy yesterday and qualifying with Maxwist
12:22
Speaker 7: up and posting the fastest time but then getting a
12:26
Speaker 7: backup place behind George Russell for a bit of a
12:29
Speaker 7: confrontation they had there. But maxwist stuff and pretty much
12:32
Speaker 7: took the lead from the second turn of the race
12:36
Speaker 7: very early on. Took him about seven or eight seconds
12:39
Speaker 7: to get back in front. Looks like Lando Norris actually
12:41
Speaker 7: was going to have the lead from thirty He momentarily
12:44
Speaker 7: got there, but Maximist up and showing his class early.
12:47
Speaker 7: But you're right, all eyes on Liam Lawson here. You'd
12:50
Speaker 7: hope he will be able to make up some places
12:52
Speaker 7: and get a slightly better score.
12:53
Speaker 2: With just two races to go this season, certainly would Adam,
12:55
Speaker 2: thank you very much for your time this morning. Great
12:57
Speaker 2: to have you on the show. Was always twenty three
12:58
Speaker 2: after five, Adam Cooper's be sport coming up. Kay Oliver,
13:01
Speaker 2: our UK europe correspondent. Why while they're cracking this is
13:05
Speaker 2: the Labor Party over there cracking down on migration after
13:08
Speaker 2: it was around twenty thousand illegal immigrants across the channel
13:11
Speaker 2: since Labor took office. That was only in July. I
13:13
Speaker 2: remember twenty thousand since then, so we'll look at that.
13:16
Speaker 2: And then just before six o'clock Stuart Nash, the Form
13:19
Speaker 2: Labor Minister on their conference at the weekend.
13:22
Speaker 1: The Early Edition Full show podcast on iHeartRadio.
13:26
Speaker 3: How it by News.
13:26
Speaker 2: Talks, it'd be you're on news Talks. There'd be twenty
13:29
Speaker 2: five minutes after five. Politics is largely about trust. When
13:33
Speaker 2: you break it down to its most simple terms, it's
13:36
Speaker 2: about trust. If you see a bloke or a woman
13:39
Speaker 2: on the tally trying to get your vote, you try
13:41
Speaker 2: and work out what sort of person they are. Do
13:44
Speaker 2: they think like me? Are they smart? Are they thick?
13:47
Speaker 2: Can I trust that they'll make a good decision in
13:51
Speaker 2: an important time. It's a magic thing that takes a
13:54
Speaker 2: lifetime to earn, in a second to plunder. And so
13:56
Speaker 2: as the Labor Party faithful filed in for their annual conference,
14:00
Speaker 2: scaring up for another year and then probably another term
14:04
Speaker 2: and opposition, you'd have to stay on balance. Voters will
14:07
Speaker 2: be thinking about well, actually, voters won't be thinking about
14:09
Speaker 2: anything to do with politics right now because we're mid cycle.
14:12
Speaker 2: It's way too early. It's like threshing over a birth
14:16
Speaker 2: before you're even pregnant. You know, it's just way too
14:19
Speaker 2: in the future. But when they do, they will ask
14:22
Speaker 2: whether they can trust Chippy Like a sugar daddy Santa.
14:27
Speaker 2: He was doling out the cash quicker than you could
14:29
Speaker 2: rake it in at the weekend. A full priced new
14:31
Speaker 2: hospital Internedin. How much exactly will it cost? Well, we
14:35
Speaker 2: don't know, but we don't care. They're getting it, saying
14:39
Speaker 2: what goes with the rail enabled fairies. They're on their way.
14:42
Speaker 2: The price was in the billions for the landside parts
14:44
Speaker 2: of that doesn't matter. It's happening. How are you going
14:47
Speaker 2: to pay for all of that is the question when,
14:49
Speaker 2: as we learned last week, our growth outlooks have been downgraded.
14:52
Speaker 2: Nicolas is hinted at a when we find out finally,
14:56
Speaker 2: when we get the Hayfu numbers, that we'll probably be
14:59
Speaker 2: looking at it push the surplus even further out into
15:01
Speaker 2: the future, which makes you wonder whether it's ever even
15:05
Speaker 2: going to happen. Ever, no matter who's in government, it's
15:09
Speaker 2: that bad. So how do you spend all that money,
15:13
Speaker 2: commit to spending all that money, commit to reversing all
15:16
Speaker 2: the cuts that nationals made as well, and then still
15:18
Speaker 2: balance the books. It's like wizardry, and that's where trust
15:24
Speaker 2: comes into it. After sixty years, Labor lost the country's
15:28
Speaker 2: trust on many issues because, as many people have said,
15:32
Speaker 2: they couldn't deliver a pizza, or run a bath or
15:35
Speaker 2: pick your you know, pick your number of metaphors. They've
15:39
Speaker 2: been quiet on tax for now, but the remit did
15:42
Speaker 2: pass at the election. So the question is where the
15:45
Speaker 2: Labor should at this point be promising much in the
15:48
Speaker 2: way of anything to anyone when they've lost so much
15:51
Speaker 2: capital on delivery twenty eight after five, Ryan Bridge is
15:57
Speaker 2: the numbers to text. We'd love your feedback on that
15:58
Speaker 2: this morning, if you were watching any of the coverage
16:01
Speaker 2: over the weekend or maybe you're out enjoying yourself. Actually,
16:04
Speaker 2: I have to say a quick little shout out to
16:07
Speaker 2: all of the parents this morning who are tuning in
16:11
Speaker 2: to news talks, he'd be, and who are taking their
16:14
Speaker 2: kids to rowing and to swimming lessons. I was in
16:19
Speaker 2: Russell at the weekend up in Northland and bumped into
16:22
Speaker 2: a few of you. It was lovely to meet you,
16:24
Speaker 2: and apparently this is quite a big thing, and I
16:27
Speaker 2: think good on you because you're probably going to make
16:29
Speaker 2: your children into wonderful human beings by making these sacrifices.
16:33
Speaker 2: And if you are the child listening to this right
16:35
Speaker 2: now in the car, just thank mum or dad because
16:38
Speaker 2: it's very early in the morning to be awake and
16:41
Speaker 2: they obviously love you very much, so just say thank you.
16:45
Speaker 2: Twenty nine after five News Talks heed Be.
17:21
Speaker 1: News and Views you trust to start your day. It's
17:24
Speaker 1: early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's
17:28
Speaker 1: furniture bids at a client store.
17:30
Speaker 3: News Talk sid BE.
17:44
Speaker 2: Good Morning New Zealand, twenty four minutes away from the
17:47
Speaker 2: sixer on News Talk sid Be on Ryan Bridge. Welcome
17:49
Speaker 2: to your Monday morning. I hope you have a fantastic week.
17:52
Speaker 2: I know you haven't spent all week and thinking about
17:55
Speaker 2: Donald Trump and as tarriffs. But if you needed any
17:57
Speaker 2: evidence that it is for him just a huge negotiating tactic.
18:03
Speaker 2: He is overnight threatening one hundred percent tariffs on bricks countries,
18:08
Speaker 2: now bricks countries. It's a group of countries. They held
18:11
Speaker 2: their meeting in Russia a couple of months ago. You
18:15
Speaker 2: might remember that. It's it's Mexico, it's China, it's Russia,
18:18
Speaker 2: it's Ethiopia, emerging countries. Anyway, he's saying, if you guys
18:24
Speaker 2: create your own currency to counter mind, I'll whack you
18:28
Speaker 2: with one hundred percent tariff. Is that ever going to happen? No,
18:31
Speaker 2: but you know it's a bargaining tool. Which brings us
18:34
Speaker 2: to Chris Hipkins, the labor leader who has ruled out
18:38
Speaker 2: joining ORCUS and says in his press release, we are
18:41
Speaker 2: proud to stand apart in lead the world and being
18:43
Speaker 2: nuclear free. That is not going to change. Excuse me,
18:47
Speaker 2: it wouldn't change even if we joined ORCUST Pillar two.
18:51
Speaker 2: That is a military technology agreement. It's like the b
18:55
Speaker 2: version the booby prize to the main event, and even
19:00
Speaker 2: that Pelawana Orcas is about nuclear powered submarines, not like
19:04
Speaker 2: you know, you're not hosting like a nuclear facility. You're
19:07
Speaker 2: not Cuba during the Cold War. You know the number
19:13
Speaker 2: to text. We get to Stuart Nash on.
19:14
Speaker 3: That before six, Bryan Bridge.
19:16
Speaker 2: And we're going to our reporters around the country callen
19:18
Speaker 2: proctors into the need in this morning, callen, good morning
19:20
Speaker 2: to you. A promise there from the Labor Party to
19:24
Speaker 2: build the Dunedin hospital as promised.
19:28
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's got everyone's attention down here. This from the leader,
19:32
Speaker 8: Chris hip Cons yesterday making this pledge while speaking at
19:35
Speaker 8: Labour's annual conference in christ Church. Our Mayor Jules Raddick's
19:39
Speaker 8: been quick to respond. He says the opposition's pledge is reassuring.
19:43
Speaker 8: Jiles Raddick's hopeful that it will push the current government
19:47
Speaker 8: to get.
19:47
Speaker 2: On with the job.
19:48
Speaker 8: Meanwhile, tomorrow Ryan twenty Southern Santas are preparing to visit
19:52
Speaker 8: Parliament Grounds to deliver Dunedin's Christmas wish list for its
19:55
Speaker 8: promised hospital.
19:57
Speaker 2: That's a good photo. What how's your weather?
20:00
Speaker 8: Most of the cloudy but fine breaks morning and afternoon.
20:02
Speaker 8: Easterly's high of eighteen today.
20:04
Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Clears and christ Church. Clear. The
20:07
Speaker 2: coronial in quest into the death of a Christ Church
20:09
Speaker 2: father during a charity boxing bout begins today.
20:13
Speaker 9: Yeah, Ryan, It's been six years since Caine Parson died.
20:17
Speaker 9: That was back in November twenty eighteen. He was knocked
20:19
Speaker 9: out during what was called the Fight for Christ Church event.
20:23
Speaker 9: This was an event all about raising money for a
20:25
Speaker 9: children's charity. The thirty seven year old was not wearing
20:29
Speaker 9: headgear at the time, which was only optional. The coroner
20:32
Speaker 9: will seek to establish the circumstances which led to Parson's
20:36
Speaker 9: death and also find ways to prevent similar tragedies from occurring.
20:40
Speaker 9: The inquest begins today. It's scheduled to run until Friday.
20:43
Speaker 2: All right, clear. How's your weather?
20:45
Speaker 9: Mainly fine to start the week. Some areas of low
20:47
Speaker 9: cloud this morning and evening, northeasterlies and a high of
20:49
Speaker 9: nineteen brilliant.
20:50
Speaker 2: Thank you Maxis and Wellington max Daughter. Doors scammers are
20:55
Speaker 2: an issue. What's going on here?
20:57
Speaker 4: Yeah?
20:57
Speaker 10: Police a warning about a couple of people going door
21:00
Speaker 10: to door in the hut posing as tree trimmers. They
21:03
Speaker 10: speak to whoever opens the front door. They distract them
21:07
Speaker 10: while they have accomplices scope out their properties, likely targeting older,
21:12
Speaker 10: more vulnerable people. One person posted on social media about
21:15
Speaker 10: the thieves trying to steal some pigs from their back garden.
21:19
Speaker 10: Police are investigating. The investigation is in its early stages,
21:22
Speaker 10: but there have been reports of this. Tour Tree Services
21:25
Speaker 10: is the name of the fake company, last seed in Appahad.
21:28
Speaker 10: Just be wary of anyone going door to door, I suppose.
21:31
Speaker 2: Right, So they're not I mean, they're not really scammed
21:33
Speaker 2: their thieves essentially, aren't they exactly?
21:35
Speaker 10: So yr scammers is probably a term used by police
21:38
Speaker 10: that's made it into our story, but the thieves would
21:40
Speaker 10: be a fairer description, that's right.
21:42
Speaker 2: All right. So just well you just don't ounce your
21:44
Speaker 2: door to anyone really well, I mean that's probably a
21:47
Speaker 2: bit much. Pigs.
21:49
Speaker 10: Pigs is an odd thing to try and steal from
21:50
Speaker 10: a garden as well. Yeah, not very inconspicuous. It's all
21:54
Speaker 10: going on there. How's the weather partly cloudy? Northerly's twenty
21:58
Speaker 10: to the high Central.
21:59
Speaker 2: Thank you Michael Siegel's in Auckland. Mike could have obtamed
22:02
Speaker 2: some exclusive new numbers on bus fair evasion in Auckland.
22:07
Speaker 11: Yes, transport officers caught twelve seven hundred fair evaders over
22:10
Speaker 11: the past six months, issuing infringements to four point eight
22:13
Speaker 11: percent of them and warnings to another two point four percent.
22:16
Speaker 11: At estimates, fear evasion makes up about three percent of
22:19
Speaker 11: all journeys now, which is roughly a million times in
22:21
Speaker 11: the past six months. So you probably have a higher
22:24
Speaker 11: chance of winning Lotto Division five, six or seven the
22:27
Speaker 11: naturally facing enforcement action if you don't pay your bus fare.
22:31
Speaker 11: At says most fear evason is by school students and teenagers,
22:34
Speaker 11: but it doesn't tolerate fair evation, and it's been using
22:38
Speaker 11: data to deploy transport offices where fair EVAs is worse,
22:41
Speaker 11: and the numbers suggest that's actually proven quite effective. And
22:45
Speaker 11: the routes for those with the highest rates of fair
22:47
Speaker 11: evation route thirty three, the Route eighteen, and the route thirteen.
22:51
Speaker 2: So how many times has this happened? A million instances
22:56
Speaker 2: over the past six months?
22:57
Speaker 11: Well, based on eight's figures, it's about three percent journeys,
23:00
Speaker 11: which would be about about that many good times maybe,
23:03
Speaker 11: and they are only chasing up what did you say,
23:05
Speaker 11: four point eight So of those that get caught, about
23:08
Speaker 11: four point eight percent end up facing enforcement action.
23:12
Speaker 2: So it's happening a lot, and then in.
23:14
Speaker 11: Less than five percent of those that get caught actually face.
23:17
Speaker 2: Well, why would you stop, said when you don't have Yeah,
23:22
Speaker 2: when you're not getting caught. How's the weather today?
23:24
Speaker 11: Might mainly find apart from some areas of want to
23:26
Speaker 11: cloud the high twenty five to good numbers?
23:28
Speaker 2: Did they say they wanted to fix that or did
23:30
Speaker 2: they just yeh?
23:31
Speaker 11: So, I mean they've because they've got transport officers out there,
23:35
Speaker 11: you know, so they're trying to put them where where
23:38
Speaker 11: the problems were. So for example, Route thirty three, they
23:41
Speaker 11: managually bring down the numbers on that particular route quite
23:44
Speaker 11: significantly just by targeting them where they know it's worse.
23:47
Speaker 2: Interesting, all right, thank very much, Michael. Michael Suga with
23:50

25:07
Speaker 2: Nation, Just a moment right now, Kay Oliver, our UK
25:09
Speaker 2: Europe correspondent k Good morning to you, a defiant Mastershift
25:14
Speaker 2: judge going nowhere over.
25:15
Speaker 12: There well absolutely, good morning to you Ryan and just
25:20
Speaker 12: to say, it seems it's a case of out of
25:22
Speaker 12: the frying pan, straight into the fire for Greg Wallace.
25:25
Speaker 12: He has posted a defiant online video which basically, over
25:30
Speaker 12: these claims of inappropriate conduct, he is pointing a finger
25:35
Speaker 12: at middle class women of a certain age. Now, he's
25:40
Speaker 12: also said that he over nearly twenty years, has worked
25:43
Speaker 12: with perhaps four thousand contestants and this is a tiny
25:47
Speaker 12: minority of these women who are making these allegations of
25:52
Speaker 12: inappropriate language and misogyny. And it would be perhaps a
25:57
Speaker 12: question to be answered as to why at this stage,
26:00
Speaker 12: if we're talking about crisis management, he has gone out
26:04
Speaker 12: and put this online so that now millions of people
26:08
Speaker 12: can see this rather defiant backlash coming through. There are
26:12
Speaker 12: questions being asked right left and center about this one,
26:15
Speaker 12: including claims from another male former contestant that Master Chef
26:22
Speaker 12: has a very toxic atmosphere and that what is being
26:25
Speaker 12: said about Greg Wallace is really the tip of the iceberg.
26:29
Speaker 12: The BBC are launching investigations right left and center. But
26:33
Speaker 12: this seems to be a story that's going to run.
26:35
Speaker 2: And run at the moment here, Goodness may what about
26:38
Speaker 2: the crackdown on the promised crackdown on migration from labor.
26:43
Speaker 12: Well, we've been hearing about this promised crackdown since they
26:46
Speaker 12: came into office in July, and it seems that numbers
26:49
Speaker 12: today have revealed twenty thousand small boat crossings since July,
26:55
Speaker 12: with no sign of it really letting up. Ryan Now
26:58
Speaker 12: Labour's Pat Sadden speaking today. He's a government minister. He
27:03
Speaker 12: has promised that the government is determined to tackle this issue,
27:08
Speaker 12: but when christioned would really not give a target figure
27:13
Speaker 12: for the numbers, So there is no specific number that
27:17
Speaker 12: they're going to talk about. However, we do know that
27:20
Speaker 12: last week there were figures revealed by the Office of
27:24
Speaker 12: National Statistics that shows under the Tory watch, up until
27:28
Speaker 12: June twenty twenty three, nine hundred thousand people came into
27:32
Speaker 12: this country. And the feeling is that if these numbers
27:36
Speaker 12: continue to grow like this, by the year twenty forty six,
27:40
Speaker 12: we will have fifteen extra cities the size of Birmingham
27:46
Speaker 12: needed to accommodate all the people that are over here.
27:49
Speaker 12: So obviously this is still very much a political hot
27:52
Speaker 12: potato as we wait to see what action they will take.
27:56
Speaker 2: Certainly sounds like AKA, thank you very much for that
27:58
Speaker 2: k Oliver our UK, your correspondent to gone eleven away
28:01
Speaker 2: from six Bridge. So big Labor Party conference in christ
28:04
Speaker 2: which at the weekend. Rail Yes, you're getting your rail
28:07
Speaker 2: and able the ferries across the cook straight the need
28:09
Speaker 2: and you're getting your hospital. Everything that was promised. The
28:13
Speaker 2: cuts they will reverse them. So how do you get
28:16
Speaker 2: back to surpus? How do you balance the books?
28:18
Speaker 13: I'm absoluently confident we'll be able to put out a
28:20
Speaker 13: fiscal plan before the election as we always do. That
28:23
Speaker 13: shows that all of the commitments that we are making
28:25
Speaker 13: will be able to pay.
28:26
Speaker 2: For on tax. Yes they did discuss tax, but like
28:29
Speaker 2: fight club, you don't talk about what you're talking you
28:31
Speaker 2: don't talked about the.
28:32
Speaker 13: Remits process feeds into a policy process that will result
28:35
Speaker 13: on us producing policy before the election.
28:38
Speaker 2: So it did pass the tax remit. Joining us is
28:41
Speaker 2: former Labor Minister Stuart Nashda. Good morning, good morning, right,
28:44
Speaker 2: how are you?
28:45
Speaker 4: Yeah?
28:45
Speaker 2: Really good? Thank you? Good to have you on the show.
28:48
Speaker 2: What did you think yesterday the call around Orcus which
28:52
Speaker 2: I would have thought you would want to leave it
28:53
Speaker 2: up your sleeve as a bargaining chip, wouldn't you rather
28:56
Speaker 2: than rule it out, You'll leave it.
28:58
Speaker 4: You're willedly out at the moment. You know has always
29:00
Speaker 4: been very much about for an independent foreign policy. You
29:05
Speaker 4: wouldn't take it after the US and UK at the moment,
29:07
Speaker 4: would you really? I just think you'd know, you'd rule
29:11
Speaker 4: it out and see what happens.
29:12
Speaker 2: What about the tax, I mean, it's obviously the remit
29:14
Speaker 2: has passed, but there's a lot of water to go
29:16
Speaker 2: under the bridge. What's your pack of how they will
29:19
Speaker 2: how they will offer this tax increase will be to
29:24
Speaker 2: capital gains or whatever.
29:25
Speaker 4: Yeah, as far as I'm aware, there are probably two
29:28
Speaker 4: people in the country who don't believe we need a
29:30
Speaker 4: kepital gains tax. One of them is Nichola Willison. The
29:32
Speaker 4: other one is Chris Luxon. I think everyone else, every
29:35
Speaker 4: sensible economists, the business around tabor talk about it. Now
29:37
Speaker 4: your major agencies are saying we need a capital gains tax.
29:41
Speaker 4: You know, we tax labor, we don't tax capital. Just
29:44
Speaker 4: doesn't seem right. So you know, when the reporter and
29:47
Speaker 4: the stand up asked, how are you going to balance
29:49
Speaker 4: the budget or how are you going to meet all
29:51
Speaker 4: your physical obligations? Well, it will probably be through some
29:54
Speaker 4: form of capital taxation, which is necessary and everyone agrees
29:58
Speaker 4: it is.
29:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, but so that's interest. So you don't think they
30:01
Speaker 2: will offset it, because this was the thing that Bill
30:03
Speaker 2: English did so well right with the GST. You off
30:06
Speaker 2: city say well, we are going to increase taxes here
30:08
Speaker 2: or introduces tax here, but we will cut taxes here,
30:11
Speaker 2: which means it's physically neutral, which doesn't address the wider
30:15
Speaker 2: issue that labor has, which is how do you afford
30:17
Speaker 2: all the stuff you promise?
30:19
Speaker 4: Look, I think there'll be a measure a bit of
30:21
Speaker 4: both have any sort of capital gain tax, and I
30:24
Speaker 4: don't think there'll be a wealth tax that's just nothing.
30:26
Speaker 4: But any form of capital gain tax will will be
30:29
Speaker 4: offset in either taxes and labor or tax for business,
30:33
Speaker 4: for example, through accelerate depreciation, which is something we do
30:35
Speaker 4: the hell of a lot of work on. Or what
30:38
Speaker 4: you do do is you use a little bit of
30:39
Speaker 4: it to pay off debt, because theres a lot of
30:41
Speaker 4: debt around at the moment. I find Nikola that makes
30:44
Speaker 4: me smile when she talks about labor spending. She has
30:47
Speaker 4: spent more in last year's budget than labor spent in
30:50
Speaker 4: any of its six budgets. When we were in government,
30:53
Speaker 4: so she's lost all her credibility. So it makes it
30:56
Speaker 4: easier to introduce something like this because, as mentioned, Nicholas
30:59
Speaker 4: just lost her credibility when it comes to fiscal and
31:01
Speaker 4: economic methods.
31:02
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, yeah, you could argue the books to
31:04
Speaker 2: deteriorating and that's out of her control, et cetera. Blah
31:07
Speaker 2: blah blah. Look, but you guys said the same.
31:09
Speaker 4: The fourteen billion dollar text cast.
31:13
Speaker 2: Anyway, Hey, just before you go, will be the leader
31:16
Speaker 2: at the next election? You reckon.
31:18
Speaker 4: I have absolutely no doubt if he wants to be
31:19
Speaker 4: the leader, and I'm assuming he does because he's sort
31:22
Speaker 4: of he's engaged, his passed. Look, the main goal of
31:25
Speaker 4: a conference one year out, one year after an election,
31:28
Speaker 4: two year out from an election, is to send the
31:31
Speaker 4: faithful way believe in that the party can win the
31:33
Speaker 4: next election. So it's got to be upbeat, it's got
31:36
Speaker 4: to be it's got to be positive. And I think
31:40
Speaker 4: this this was You know, you've got a prime minister
31:43
Speaker 4: who is the most unpopular prime minister one year out
31:47
Speaker 4: from an election that you've ever had, and I think
31:49
Speaker 4: Labors a Lady's doing quite well. I think the supporters
31:55
Speaker 4: will have walked away going yeah, we could do it.
31:57
Speaker 4: You can't mind the lady. It's not about pat coalition parties.
32:02
Speaker 4: The laborsos will have walked away, Bacon beat National. That's
32:05
Speaker 4: the main goal. Out of the ellect, out of the Campik,
32:07
Speaker 4: out of the Sorry conference.
