Speaker 1: u storgs.
0:15
Speaker 2: It'd be good morning, Welcome to your Monday. It has
0:18
Speaker 2: just gone six minutes after five. Lots to come. Our
0:21
Speaker 2: lead this morning a fifty seven percent reduction in kids
0:26
Speaker 2: and families living in motels. Wow, how are they doing this?
0:30
Speaker 2: That is our lead? Just before six. Gavin Gray out
0:33
Speaker 2: of the UK. Another right wing anti immigration party making
0:36
Speaker 2: a push in a key state in Germany. We'll look
0:38
Speaker 2: at that. Plus Andrew Alderson on the All Blacks over
0:43
Speaker 2: the weekend. What's wrong with our last twenty five percent?
0:47
Speaker 2: Our last quarter in these games? It is five after sorry,
0:50
Speaker 2: seven after five the agenda, and it is Monday, the
0:54
Speaker 2: twenty third of September. Expect debate this week on a
0:58
Speaker 2: four year parlamentary term is the coalition agreement between the
1:03
Speaker 2: governing parties has a commitment for a referendum on this issue.
1:08
Speaker 2: Will it happen at the next election. Hezbela has filed
1:11
Speaker 2: rockets deep into Northern Israel overnight, labeling this a new
1:15
Speaker 2: phase in the conflict.
1:17
Speaker 3: According to statements issued by Hesbila, they fired at least
1:20
Speaker 3: one hundred and fifteen rockets towards Israel, and some of
1:23
Speaker 3: those rockets have the longest range.
1:25
Speaker 4: That we've seen so far.
1:27
Speaker 2: It follows Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon which killed dozens of
1:30
Speaker 2: people and what the IDEF IS called a preemptive action
1:34
Speaker 2: against a planned Hesbela attack. Four people have died following
1:38
Speaker 2: a mass shooting in the US state of Alabama.
1:40
Speaker 5: We believe that multiple shooters fired on a large group
1:45
Speaker 5: of people who were outside in the open in the
1:47
Speaker 5: two thousand block of Magnolia Avenue South.
1:50
Speaker 2: They reckon it's not random, it was targeting one particular person,
1:53
Speaker 2: and others have died. According to a Lowy Institute report
1:57
Speaker 2: which ranks countries on their global power, New Zealand is
2:00
Speaker 2: one of only three countries which declined over the past year.
2:04
Speaker 2: We've dropped fourteen percent in overall powers its twenty eighteen.
2:07
Speaker 2: I'll have more on that shortly. Plus the German elections
2:10
Speaker 2: I mentioned earlier underway in one state could see them
2:15
Speaker 2: go a little step further to the right. Illegal immigration
2:18
Speaker 2: is pushing some of these German states further right, and
2:22
Speaker 2: we'll have more on that with Gavin Gray later on
2:24
Speaker 2: just gone eight after.
2:25
Speaker 6: Five Get ahead of the headlines.
2:28
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge you for twenty twenty four on early edition
2:32
Speaker 1: with Smith City, New Zealand Furniture Beds and a Planet
2:35
Speaker 1: Store news talk.
2:36
Speaker 2: Zai'd be I hope you've had a fantastic weekend. If
2:39
Speaker 2: you do have views on a four year parliamentary term,
2:41
Speaker 2: we are going to talk talk about it a little
2:43
Speaker 2: bit later on, but if you do have a view,
2:45
Speaker 2: nine two nine two is the number to text. What
2:48
Speaker 2: I wanted to start with this morning was one of
2:50
Speaker 2: my favorite things to do, and that is drink milk.
2:54
Speaker 2: I love drinking milk and I still drink Sorry, there's
2:57
Speaker 2: a silent l milk, is how you say it. I
3:02
Speaker 2: still drink probably half a liter a day, I would say.
3:05
Speaker 2: When I was a kid, I would drink definitely at
3:07
Speaker 2: least a liter of milk a day. And it's got
3:10
Speaker 2: the fat content, so it's always freezing cold in the fridge.
3:13
Speaker 2: Nothing like a glass of milk flavored milk, you know,
3:17
Speaker 2: go for it, chocolate, strawberry, all that kind of stuff.
3:20
Speaker 2: I actually used to do a milk run and jump
3:23
Speaker 2: off the back of the truck and deliver the milk,
3:25
Speaker 2: and you would get a free one liter chocolate milk
3:28
Speaker 2: or strawberry milk every time you did it. So I
3:30
Speaker 2: just mainveined the stuff. It was like breathing here. So
3:35
Speaker 2: that was my childhood. Apparently times are at changing and
3:40
Speaker 2: we are reducing our intake quite significantly. In fact, in
3:45
Speaker 2: some supermarkets they're selling more fizzy drink than milk. I know,
3:51
Speaker 2: not good, right. There's partially a demographic reason for this.
3:55
Speaker 2: We have a higher proportion of Asians living in New
3:57
Speaker 2: Zealand and they don't tend to drink as much milk.
4:00
Speaker 2: But millennials and older Gen zs are dropping. Now this
4:06
Speaker 2: is quite a concern for a number of reasons. One
4:08
Speaker 2: obviously it's you know, we're a dairy producing nation. It's
4:11
Speaker 2: good to have our own people drinking milk. But also
4:14
Speaker 2: bone density. So you know, your height you keep growing
4:18
Speaker 2: until you're sort of late teen years, but your bone
4:21
Speaker 2: density is still developing until you are twenty five years
4:25
Speaker 2: of age. So for these millennials and older Gen zs,
4:31
Speaker 2: they're all going to be falling over in retirement and
4:34
Speaker 2: breaking in half. So it's actually quite important your bone
4:38
Speaker 2: density continues to develop until you are twenty five years
4:41
Speaker 2: of age. So are you forcing your kids to drink milk?
4:45
Speaker 2: Do they drink milk? Nine two is the number to text.
4:49
Speaker 2: There's Fonterra and Anchor who've done research and they say
4:52
Speaker 2: people have just forgotten how good it is. I don't
4:54
Speaker 2: know whether that's an issue, whether it's price. How much
4:57
Speaker 2: milk do you drink today? And what about your kids?
5:00
Speaker 2: Nine two ninety two the number to text just gone
5:02
Speaker 2: eleven minutes after five. Quite shocking to think that you'd
5:04
Speaker 2: be selling more cocaine sprite than you would milk. I
5:08
Speaker 2: would have thought, Tory Farno, where do you start? So
5:14
Speaker 2: this was with Nick Mills last week. This is about
5:17
Speaker 2: the car. And you might say, who cares about the car? Well,
5:20
Speaker 2: everyone cares about the car, aren't they. I was in
5:23
Speaker 2: blen Him at the weekend. People were and Blenham were
5:25
Speaker 2: asking about Tory Faro's car. Anyway, Here she is of
5:28
Speaker 2: Nick Mills.
5:29
Speaker 3: I've just sold my car recently to kind of help
5:32
Speaker 3: pay the bills.
5:33
Speaker 2: And then on Sunday Q and A she was asked,
5:36
Speaker 2: did you sell the car to pay the bills?
5:38
Speaker 1: No?
5:39
Speaker 3: I actually didn't it's a shame because it was taken
5:41
Speaker 3: out of context. There was an hour long interview. You
5:43
Speaker 3: get a bit relaxed. I mean the main reason actually
5:47
Speaker 3: was because it's a walkable city. I don't need a
5:49
Speaker 3: car living in the city center.
5:52
Speaker 2: So far, so confusing. And then there's a statement clarifying that.
5:56
Speaker 2: I don't even know where I don't even know what
5:57
Speaker 2: the statement says. I think it clarifies that. I mean,
6:01
Speaker 2: how do you get to that point anyway? Nineteen the
6:05
Speaker 2: number of text what do you think is going on there? Actually,
6:08
Speaker 2: I'll give you some numbers later on the show on
6:11
Speaker 2: who voted in the Wellington City Council elections and what
6:16
Speaker 2: that percentages of the overall voting population nineteen just gone
6:20
Speaker 2: twelve after five and bread Rich. Lots more to come
6:27
Speaker 2: here on news Talks thereb this morning, including lawyers. Why
6:30
Speaker 2: are they so depressed? Apparently more depressed than anywhere else
6:33
Speaker 2: in the world, And yes, it's to do with their profession,
6:36
Speaker 2: and more depressed than other professions as well. Twelve minutes
6:40
Speaker 2: after five, we will have some more cheering news for
6:43
Speaker 2: you too. Don't worry about that. I hope you're enjoying
6:45
Speaker 2: your Monday morning.
6:55
Speaker 6: News and views you trust to start your day. It's
6:58
Speaker 6: early edition with.
7:00
Speaker 1: Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds and a
7:03
Speaker 1: flying store.
7:04
Speaker 2: New Talk said, be we are drinking one point two
7:07
Speaker 2: million fewer glasses of milk every year. Dairy milk consumption
7:11
Speaker 2: has declined seventeen percent in this country over the last
7:15
Speaker 2: two decades. Why hi, Ryan, I'm forty two. I have
7:18
Speaker 2: drunk milk all my life, at least elater a day.
7:21
Speaker 2: See that's a good, hearty amount. Same here. It must
7:24
Speaker 2: be very very cold, but I love it, Ryan, new
7:27
Speaker 2: Jellan milk taste pretty average. Milk in Europe is so
7:31
Speaker 2: much better. Well, go back to Europe then, morning Ryan.
7:37
Speaker 2: Just had a glass of cold milk before I go
7:39
Speaker 2: and the milk and milk the cows. Great way to
7:41
Speaker 2: start the day, it says Roscoe. Good morning Ryan. We
7:44
Speaker 2: use milk powder only from the local Midaia, says Brandan.
7:49
Speaker 2: Basically a lot of people saying that they still drink milk,
7:52
Speaker 2: but it's their kids and grandkids who are drinking less milk,
7:56
Speaker 2: and that seems to be what the research is telling
7:58
Speaker 2: us as well. Millennials and older. Loads of feedback coming
8:02
Speaker 2: in on Tori fine, and we'll get to that in
8:03
Speaker 2: a second as well. Another says the price seven dollars
8:06
Speaker 2: a bottle, very hard to keep that up. Sixteen after
8:09
Speaker 2: five Ryan Bridge. New research this morning has revealed New
8:13
Speaker 2: Zealand lawyers and law students are the unhappiest professionals globally.
8:19
Speaker 2: A survey with nearly eight hundred lawyers and law students
8:22
Speaker 2: was conducted over three years and found compared to international
8:25
Speaker 2: lawyers and other professions, ours had worse mental health outcomes,
8:29
Speaker 2: with higher distress and lower overall well being. Julianne Kincaid
8:34
Speaker 2: Case is the Law Association vice president. She's with me
8:37
Speaker 2: this morning. Juliane, good morning, good morning, Why so depressed?
8:44
Speaker 4: It's study was really very surprising to me, and it
8:47
Speaker 4: is terrible to see it. I have had some preliminary thoughts.
8:52
Speaker 4: Obviously we haven't had that long.
8:54
Speaker 5: Was it just yet?
8:56
Speaker 4: I do wonder about the sample sizes, so I'll do
8:59
Speaker 4: it's over eight hundreds over three years, and there are
9:03
Speaker 4: over ten thousand lawyers in New Zealands, so it is
9:07
Speaker 4: a relatively small sample size. But clearly we all will
9:11
Speaker 4: need to read this and think carefully about the findings.
9:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, plus, you guys have paid a lot
9:17
Speaker 2: of money, aren't you. What's their mind.
9:19
Speaker 4: About, Well, that's a controversial topic. All sorts of different
9:24
Speaker 4: lawyers are. I'm a criminal lawyer and we work on
9:27
Speaker 4: legal aid right and a lot of lawyers who prove
9:29
Speaker 4: ono because the end of the day, being a lawyer
9:31
Speaker 4: is a very high stress job. We have a lot
9:33
Speaker 4: of pressure. We take our cases very seriously and people
9:38
Speaker 4: are in very difficult situations. Most people don't need a
9:41
Speaker 4: lawyer if their lives are going swimmingly. You need lawyers
9:45
Speaker 4: at times of high stress in your own life, whether
9:47
Speaker 4: that's a family situation, child trusty issues, criminal matters, or
9:52
Speaker 4: contractual and employmentcies. Most people need lawyers when they are
9:57
Speaker 4: in a pickle, and so we deal with very difficult
10:00
Speaker 4: and stressful situations. I think we also need to look
10:03
Speaker 4: at our workplaces as well though, about the pressure that
10:06
Speaker 4: we might put on people within our workplace. Most of
10:10
Speaker 4: the organizations in New Zealand do run support services for lawyers,
10:14
Speaker 4: and I would like to stress that for all lawyers
10:17
Speaker 4: if they are feeling stressed and feeling things are becoming overwhelming.
10:22
Speaker 4: There are lots of different organizations in ways that we
10:25
Speaker 4: can help them through friends programs and other support services
10:30
Speaker 4: that are available.
10:30
Speaker 2: I mean, you do they do generally the ones I
10:33
Speaker 2: know work very very long hours and so that you
10:36
Speaker 2: know that can't be great for a work life balance.
10:39
Speaker 2: But I suppose you kind of know you're getting into
10:41
Speaker 2: that too, n't you. With law, it's part of the job.
10:44
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it's vocational. So when I was studying, I
10:48
Speaker 4: was always told a simvocation. It's a lifestyle rather than
10:53
Speaker 4: you know, it's a way of life rather than just
10:55
Speaker 4: being a job. And it's the same for most professions
10:58
Speaker 4: and doctors and differ. We do have to make sacrifices
11:03
Speaker 4: for family. Neither of my children want to be lawyers.
11:06
Speaker 4: They say we have to work for too hard. They
11:08
Speaker 4: see how hard I work. But hopefully there are other
11:11
Speaker 4: people out there who can see the calling that there
11:14
Speaker 4: is under great rewards there also can be and doing.
11:18
Speaker 7: The work that we do.
11:19
Speaker 2: Thanks so much for your time this morning, Juliane Kincaid,
11:21
Speaker 2: the Case Law Association Vice President. Great to have you
11:24
Speaker 2: on the program. Nineteen minutes after five on News Talk,
11:27
Speaker 2: si'db so much feedback coming in on Milk and toy
11:33
Speaker 2: Fano will get to that shortly.
11:36
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge New for twenty twenty four on early edition
11:40
Speaker 1: with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture Bids and applying store
11:43
Speaker 1: news Talk.
11:44
Speaker 2: Sid by twenty one after five. Welcome to your Monday morning.
11:47
Speaker 2: Big debate going on in the Herald this morning. Riccardom
11:50
Speaker 2: in India's March of the Greens says poverty is a
11:53
Speaker 2: political choice. Our politicians choose to keep kids in poverty
11:57
Speaker 2: by not funding benefits enough. So here's the gist of it.
12:01
Speaker 2: There's a three billion dollar price tag. Apparently we could
12:04
Speaker 2: get rid of child poverty with three billion dollars and
12:06
Speaker 2: the government isn't going to spend it. Ricardo men Indis
12:09
Speaker 2: March says they should. Labor says they should. There's a
12:13
Speaker 2: target to get sick material hardship down to six percent
12:18
Speaker 2: by twenty twenty eight, and the Greens say this is
12:22
Speaker 2: a deliberate choice by the government not to feed the
12:24
Speaker 2: hungry kids. Basically, Nationals argument is you need to grow
12:29
Speaker 2: the economy because you can't just keep funding things, funding things,
12:33
Speaker 2: funding things without growing the pie first. Right, So that's
12:37
Speaker 2: the big debate that's happening at the moment. Is it
12:40
Speaker 2: increased benefits or grow the economy nine two nine two,
12:43
Speaker 2: the number twenty two after five Ryan Bridge Formula one
12:46
Speaker 2: on in Singapore overnight. Andrew Alison is here from ZIB's Sport.
12:49
Speaker 2: Good morning Greeting's Ryan, how are we doing?
12:52
Speaker 6: Well?
12:53
Speaker 8: There's a couple of subplots going on here. We've got
12:55
Speaker 8: Lando Norris who's won the race and is eating into
12:57
Speaker 8: Existafin's lead in the overall championships, still for Starving's finished
13:03
Speaker 8: second under the floodlights at Marina Bay, but also all
13:07
Speaker 8: signs at least afterwards from Daniel Ricardo pointing to the
13:10
Speaker 8: fact that it may have been his last race for
13:13
Speaker 8: the Racing Balls team and that could indicate that Liam
13:16
Speaker 8: Lawson will get the nod this week to get a
13:19
Speaker 8: Formula One contract full time. So that's really what's going on.
13:23
Speaker 8: That just there's a few interviews. Asked Riccardo effectively in
13:26
Speaker 8: his interview, saying I've saved my time in the cockpit
13:29
Speaker 8: and but you know, indicating that an exit is imminent.
13:36
Speaker 2: An exit by his choice.
13:38
Speaker 8: Do you think, well, but it's been negotiated, I would say, yeah,
13:43
Speaker 8: So there you go.
13:44
Speaker 2: What do you get paid for a seat like that? Plenty?
13:50
Speaker 2: What is what it was going on in boggling numbers.
13:53
Speaker 8: But then again, it's it's death defying, is it every
13:55
Speaker 8: time you take out onto a course.
13:56
Speaker 2: Well, that's true. Onto the circuit, it's a dangerous game
13:59
Speaker 2: to it is like running for president. I thought that's
14:03
Speaker 2: a dangerous game at the moment. Well, I heard an
14:05
Speaker 2: interview the other day with Trump where he's saying, you know,
14:07
Speaker 2: rally drivers, you know there's a zero point two percent
14:10
Speaker 2: chance of a death a president is six percent. Yeah,
14:14
Speaker 2: it's dangerous anyway, I shouldn't make line of it. But
14:17
Speaker 2: Jeeper is here. Just throw a few numbers in there. Yeah, Hey,
14:20
Speaker 2: the black Caps versus Income, Yes.
14:22
Speaker 8: That could be well, could be a bit of a
14:23
Speaker 8: thriller this afternoon, probably from four thirty if the rain
14:26
Speaker 8: stays away.
14:27
Speaker 2: In Gaul. Have been on and off every now and again.
14:29
Speaker 8: The black Caps against the Shrunkins, but two hundred and
14:32
Speaker 8: seven for eight, they need another what's at sixty eight
14:36
Speaker 8: runs to seventy five to win. They've never won in
14:38
Speaker 8: Gaul in four previous attempts. Ratta Vinda ninety one not out.
14:43
Speaker 8: He's with ajs Pttel at the moment, at the crease,
14:45
Speaker 8: will I rock to come but spin starting to take
14:49
Speaker 8: hold on as it always does in gaul And yeah
14:53
Speaker 8: they will. Yeah, it'll be a struggle to get those
14:55
Speaker 8: sixty eight runs, I suspect, but they're still on the hunt.
14:58
Speaker 2: Speaking of the day to play, speaking of struggling, what's
15:00
Speaker 2: going on in our last quarter for the All Blacks.
15:03
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's a struggle too, isn't it. They're high and
15:04
Speaker 8: they've got the ballins. This would be fair done, well done,
15:08
Speaker 8: but it is becoming a theme, isn't it. And I'm
15:11
Speaker 8: just they've clearly tried to address this in previous weeks.
15:14
Speaker 2: It's just not working.
15:16
Speaker 8: So that's going to be well one of the more
15:18
Speaker 8: intriguing factors come this week in Wellington.
15:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, certainly. Well he quick up that in lydia Co
15:24
Speaker 2: and Ohio.
15:25
Speaker 8: Lydia Co another outstanding performance. She's currently second behind you know,
15:30
Speaker 8: Titikun of Thailand a couple of strokes back at the moment,
15:33
Speaker 8: but there are only eight holes into their final round,
15:36
Speaker 8: so we know what Coe's temperament's like and she could
15:39
Speaker 8: well have another victory to her name.
15:42
Speaker 2: Ryan, fantastic, Andrew, Thank you very much, Lovely. Do you
15:45
Speaker 2: drink much milk? Andrew plenty.
15:47
Speaker 8: Yeah, yep, good to keep those bones strong.
15:50
Speaker 2: Exactly Andrew Allison's sport with us. The numbers are out
15:53
Speaker 2: and apparently there's a huge drop in the number of
15:56
Speaker 2: US drinking milk, one point two million fewer glasses a year.
16:01
Speaker 6: Ryan.
16:01
Speaker 2: There is a massive milk alternative milk movement. So many
16:04
Speaker 2: people I talk to now say they have heard that
16:07
Speaker 2: milk is bad for you, And people use Facebook to
16:10
Speaker 2: make their decisions and so they're all on I don't know,
16:12
Speaker 2: soy or Almans or something like that. Twenty six after five,
16:17
Speaker 2: the early.
16:17
Speaker 1: Edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio how It By News
16:21
Speaker 1: talks evy yes.
16:24
Speaker 2: To a four year term. Please, our politicians are too
16:26
Speaker 2: short sighted. Think about infrastructure, think about productivity, think about
16:31
Speaker 2: immigration settings. Basically, take your pick at any long term
16:35
Speaker 2: problem in this country. We need longer terms. Yes, it
16:39
Speaker 2: will suck if it's not your party that you like
16:42
Speaker 2: in at the time that it's introduced, but it needs
16:45
Speaker 2: to happen for the better of the country, doesn't it.
16:47
Speaker 2: The government's looking at this because it is in the
16:50
Speaker 2: coalition agreements with both AT and New Zealand. First, no
16:54
Speaker 2: strict timings in those coalition agreements but on Friday, Luxon
16:59
Speaker 2: was talking to a Bloomberg Q and A and seemed
17:03
Speaker 2: to indicate that we might have a referendum on this
17:07
Speaker 2: at the next election. It's a no brainer. We have
17:10
Speaker 2: big problems and short terms in this country. The big
17:13
Speaker 2: question is who will get the first one? Will it
17:16
Speaker 2: be you know that lot? Will it be your lot?
17:19
Speaker 2: Those are the big questions and also will it be
17:21
Speaker 2: a binding referendum, which is what New Zealand First is
17:26
Speaker 2: obviously pushing for. Nine nine two is the number to text,
17:29
Speaker 2: I say, just do it, get it done. Twenty nine
17:32
Speaker 2: after five News Talk said b.
17:43
Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth
17:46
Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Swiss City, New

Speaker 1: Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store.
17:52
Speaker 6: News Talk zib.
18:00
Speaker 2: Your morning, it is twenty four minutes away from six.
18:02
Speaker 2: News Talk said, be welcome to your Monday morning. Will
18:05
Speaker 2: your child be learning from multiple universities in the future
18:08
Speaker 2: and you report on that, We'll tell you about it
18:10
Speaker 2: in the next half hour. Also, why are we sliding
18:13
Speaker 2: down power rankings? Should we really care? In Germany, Gavin
18:17
Speaker 2: Gray has the latest on another far right push to
18:20
Speaker 2: take over a state there and how can you reduce
18:24
Speaker 2: in the space of a couple of months our kids
18:27
Speaker 2: and families in motel rooms by fifty seven percent? We
18:31
Speaker 2: look at that just before six right now though, Toriy Farno,
18:35
Speaker 2: So this was take one on her car business.
18:39
Speaker 3: I've just sold my car recently to kind of help
18:42
Speaker 3: pay the bills.
18:42
Speaker 2: And this was take two on the car business.
18:46
Speaker 3: No, I actually did into It's a shame because it
18:48
Speaker 3: was taken out of context. It was an hour long interview.
18:51
Speaker 3: You get a bit relaxed. I mean the main reason
18:54
Speaker 3: actually was because it's a walkable city. I don't need
18:57
Speaker 3: a car living in the city center.
18:59
Speaker 2: Take three on the issue clarified that actually she did.
19:03
Speaker 2: So Take three was back to take one. She did
19:06
Speaker 2: sell it because she was poor. Basically all had to
19:08
Speaker 2: pay groceries. Right, people are asking and this is one
19:12
Speaker 2: of the texts come in. What does this say about
19:14
Speaker 2: Wellington voters? Well, I got the numbers this morning, so
19:18
Speaker 2: it's obviously the STV system in Wellington. Torrifano won thirty
19:21
Speaker 2: four million, four hundred, so thirty four thousand, four hundred
19:26
Speaker 2: votes and the election Foster got sixteen thousand. An Eagle
19:29
Speaker 2: who was the former Labour MP fourteen thousand. How many
19:33
Speaker 2: Wellingtonians turned out to vote at the twenty twenty two election.
19:38
Speaker 2: Before I give you that number, I'll tell you in general,
19:42
Speaker 2: for city council elections in nineteen eighty nine, about fifty
19:46
Speaker 2: two percent of us turned out. In two thousand and
19:48
Speaker 2: seven it was down to forty one percent of us
19:51
Speaker 2: turning out to vote in Wellington. In twenty twenty two,
19:56
Speaker 2: just forty five percent of Wellingtonian's tur doubt to vote
20:01
Speaker 2: for their mayor Cranbridge. So I mean you get what
20:04
Speaker 2: you get. I suppose, don't you. Let's go to our
20:06
Speaker 2: reporters around the country. Culum Proctor is in Dnedan. Culum
20:09
Speaker 2: moves to better bus security measures in Dneeda and Otago
20:13
Speaker 2: Morning Ryany. This is the Otaga Original Council.
20:15
Speaker 9: They've made a request for tenders to establish longer term
20:19
Speaker 9: security arrangements for the Dunedan bus hub predominantly and other services.
20:25
Speaker 9: Improving safety around our hub has been a focus since
20:29
Speaker 9: the sixteen year old boy was murdered at the Great
20:31
Speaker 9: King Street site back in May. The regional council says
20:34
Speaker 9: the contract tenders based on the outcomes of a review
20:37
Speaker 9: of services trialed in twenty twenty two. They say it's
20:40
Speaker 9: part of a wider approach to improve actual and perceptions
20:43
Speaker 9: of safety for passengers traveling on their bus network.
20:46
Speaker 2: All right, how's your with it today?
20:48
Speaker 9: Cullum occasional reign at first clearing by midday seventeen, the

20:53
Speaker 2: Thank you. Jamie Cunningham with christ Church Jamie, good morning.
20:57
Speaker 2: What is going on with all the deer Romans?
21:00
Speaker 10: Yeah, morning, Ryan. At least three of the animals were
21:03
Speaker 10: spotted and Halesell yesterday afternoon, dashing across roads and scaling
21:07
Speaker 10: fences and into private backyards. Police received multiple reports of
21:12
Speaker 10: deer in the area and one even hit a car
21:14
Speaker 10: on Halsell Road this morning. There's a reminder for the
21:17
Speaker 10: public to stay away from water likely to be wild deer.
21:20
Speaker 10: Local n Zir Deer Farming Association chair Lorna hum says
21:24
Speaker 10: it's assumed these deer are wild as there is no
21:27
Speaker 10: evidence of ear tags. She says there's been a known
21:30
Speaker 10: wild deer population in the Porthills for some time and
21:33
Speaker 10: the public are reminded that it's illegal to hunt there.
21:36
Speaker 10: We don't know if the deer are still on the
21:38
Speaker 10: run this morning, but the SPCA has been approached for comment.
21:41
Speaker 2: Sorry, Jamie, did you say the deer hit the car
21:44
Speaker 2: or the car hit the deer.
21:47
Speaker 10: Well, I don't know if we can say either of
21:49
Speaker 10: those yet. There is damage to the car at this point.
21:52
Speaker 2: Though, raging deer. How's the weather today, Well, it's.
21:56
Speaker 10: Partly cloudy with a morning shower or two this morning,
21:58
Speaker 10: then becoming fine nor e's turning south west lees this
22:02
Speaker 10: afternoon and high as seventeen.
22:04
Speaker 2: Right, Thanks so much for that, Maxis and Wellington. Max
22:06
Speaker 2: the promise of a second Mount victunnel looks like it's
22:09
Speaker 2: being walked back.
22:11
Speaker 5: Yeah.
22:11
Speaker 11: A national A specifically infrastructure spokesperson Chris Bishop were very clear,
22:16
Speaker 11: Well spokesperson at the time were very clear pre election
22:19
Speaker 11: that they would start work on a second Mount Victoria
22:22
Speaker 11: tunnel before the end of their first term in power.
22:25
Speaker 11: They put out a press release very specifically to the case.
22:29
Speaker 11: We had the PM in the office last week Nick
22:31
Speaker 11: Mills asked him about this prospect and whether this increasingly
22:35
Speaker 11: favored concept of a long tunnel four kilometers I believe
22:38
Speaker 11: under the city might delay those plans. Reading between the lines,
22:41
Speaker 11: it did seem like it would. We went to Simeon
22:44
Speaker 11: Brown for clarification over the weekend. Transport Minister. He also
22:48
Speaker 11: seems to be walking back that first term vow, saying
22:52
Speaker 11: he's not going to rush the project. An announcement regarding
22:55
Speaker 11: new time frames will come in the coming months. He
22:58
Speaker 11: says it is still something Willington needs. The government obviously
23:02
Speaker 11: still wants to do it, but priorities in power change
23:05
Speaker 11: matters labor calling it a broken promise.
23:10
Speaker 2: I just hate them all. I mean that anyone who's stuck,
23:13
Speaker 2: who's been stuck in traffic going through the Mount Victunnel
23:15
Speaker 2: knows you're just one lane. You're begging for a deer
23:19
Speaker 2: to run out and hit you. Really something to happen
23:22
Speaker 2: and thank you. How to wear the max.
23:24
Speaker 11: Mainly find today's strong Northwesterly's fifteenth Central.
23:27
Speaker 2: Excellent Neva's and Auckland, Hey, Neva, good morning, Auckland. Motorists
23:30
Speaker 2: encountered appalling traffic out to the EUA.
23:33
Speaker 12: Yes, did you get caught up in that yesterday?
23:35
Speaker 10: No?
23:35
Speaker 2: I actually came from the airport to the city. It
23:37
Speaker 2: was fine, right, Oh was.
23:38
Speaker 12: That must have been in the morning though this afternoon afternoon?
23:42
Speaker 12: Oh okay, well you were very very lucky because what's
23:45
Speaker 12: happened is that this new outlet mall which is in
23:49
Speaker 12: Mangoty now, that opened on Thursday. But as you could imagine,
23:52
Speaker 12: the weekend and particularly yesterday or it was lovely day
23:56
Speaker 12: in Auckland, so all these shoppers were flocking to their
24:00
Speaker 12: area as well l airs because it's right needs to
24:02
Speaker 12: you know, to the Auckland Airport. So you know, it
24:05
Speaker 12: was just like bedlam out there. And apparently they had
24:08
Speaker 12: traffic management plans in place, but a lot of frustrated
24:14
Speaker 12: motorists here in Auckland. They took to social media. They're like,
24:18
Speaker 12: oh my gosh, complaining about the city planning, which you know,
24:22
Speaker 12: I mean they've.
24:22
Speaker 13: Got a point.
24:23
Speaker 12: Do they have a point?
24:24
Speaker 5: Yes?
24:25
Speaker 12: And I was just thinking to myself because I'm going
24:27
Speaker 12: out to the Eporks, so I've got to pick up
24:29
Speaker 12: a friend from domestic next Sunday about their peak time
24:32
Speaker 12: because it was right about midday and the next weekend
24:35
Speaker 12: it's daylight saving, so that's Sunday.
24:38
Speaker 2: So you don't want to be you don't want to
24:41
Speaker 2: be stuck in traffic and dealing with daylight saving and
24:43
Speaker 2: then getting up at half past sparispa.
24:45
Speaker 12: Exactly and I've got to drop this friend off seven
24:47
Speaker 12: hours later on Sunday night because she's going international, and
24:51
Speaker 12: I thought would I'd be a horrible friend because I thought, oh,
24:53
Speaker 12: maybe she just telled it.
24:54
Speaker 2: Uber it's called a bus put her on month. Honestly,
24:58
Speaker 2: that's not rude. I agree, that's not great.
25:00
Speaker 12: Hope you're not listening. Never Budley, Cloudy isolated shower is
25:03
Speaker 12: clearing to find this morning. Seventeen is the high.
25:06
Speaker 2: Thank you, and seventeen is a number of minutes away
25:08
Speaker 2: from six o'clock news talk ZB. Because I know you
25:12
Speaker 2: just can't get enough of me, I want to tell
25:13
Speaker 2: you about an exciting new project that's just being launched.
25:17
Speaker 2: I'm hosting a weekly podcast called Bridge Talks Business with Melford.
25:21
Speaker 2: Each episode, I'll be getting together with a number of
25:23
Speaker 2: Milford's team and leading analysts, fund managers, and financial experts
25:27
Speaker 2: for a look at the week's biggest business stories. It's
25:31
Speaker 2: the time of financial turbulence at the moment with the
25:34
Speaker 2: global economy and transition. Inflation looks to be declining in
25:37
Speaker 2: many countries, but volatility remains. So why is this happening,
25:41
Speaker 2: what can be done about it? And where are we
25:43
Speaker 2: all heading? We'll look at the data, will work out
25:46
Speaker 2: what we can learn from market history and ask the
25:49
Speaker 2: hard questions. This will be your go to for expert
25:52
Speaker 2: insights on the market's business and the economy, both here
25:55
Speaker 2: and overseas. Join me for Bridge Talks Business with Melford.

26:07
Speaker 1: International correspondence with Insit Eye Insurance, Peace of mind for
26:11
Speaker 1: New Zealand business.
26:13
Speaker 2: Third thing to say, Kevin Gray, are you can? You're
26:15
Speaker 2: a correspondent with us? Is with us? This morning? Another
26:19
Speaker 2: success for the far right in Germany? How are we
26:21
Speaker 2: looking in that state election?
26:26
Speaker 7: Real sight of relief for the German leader, the Chancellor
26:29
Speaker 7: all Our Scholtz because according to exit polls they came
26:32
Speaker 7: out just in the last forty five minutes or so.
26:35
Speaker 7: It looks like the Chancellor's party has held off a
26:38
Speaker 7: very very strong campaign by the Alternative for Germany, the
26:42
Speaker 7: far right party, the AfD. It looks like the Chancellor's
26:47
Speaker 7: Social Democrats have scored thirty one percent and the Alternative
26:51
Speaker 7: for Germany thirty percent. I have to say, this would
26:55
Speaker 7: have been a loss in the chancellor all of Schultz's
26:57
Speaker 7: own backyard just outside Berlin. And if he lost this
27:00
Speaker 7: election then I think that possibly would have really dented
27:04
Speaker 7: his future, possibly beyond any attempt to get it back,
27:08
Speaker 7: and could have seen him have to step down. So
27:11
Speaker 7: a lot of people waiting. I know these are only
27:14
Speaker 7: exit polls, but they tend to be pretty accurate in Germany,
27:17
Speaker 7: and it looks like the march of the AfD, which
27:20
Speaker 7: has done so well with recent election successes, has been
27:23
Speaker 7: held off by this result, which we're expecting to be
27:27
Speaker 7: formalized in the next few hours.
27:29
Speaker 2: To the UK and Sakis Starmer. We were covering this
27:32
Speaker 2: last week, all the freebies from the donors, you know,
27:35
Speaker 2: the sixty six thousand pounds over the last year for
27:38
Speaker 2: accommodation and clothes and even those priced glasses. He's trying
27:42
Speaker 2: to put a line under this.
27:44
Speaker 7: Yeah, he has been. And today is the opening of
27:47
Speaker 7: the Labor Party conference, so the party of Government secure.
27:50
Speaker 7: Starmer's party had an annual gathering where they decide what
27:54
Speaker 7: the policies are going to try and do and talk
27:56
Speaker 7: through over the next year or so. And you know,
28:00
Speaker 7: in this honeymoon period. Normally it's a big triumphant thing.
28:03
Speaker 7: But I'm afraid the news this week has been really
28:05
Speaker 7: bad for the Prime Minister. We d drip about gossip
28:08
Speaker 7: and scandal within Downing Street and he's only been of
28:11
Speaker 7: course in Paris since early July, so we're now getting
28:16
Speaker 7: a sense of perhaps where things are going. They are
28:19
Speaker 7: definitely trying to draw a line under all the freebies.
28:22
Speaker 7: But now the Deputy Prime Minister has been accused of
28:26
Speaker 7: acting improperly by accepting a stay in a New York
28:30
Speaker 7: apartment owned by a donor to her political party. The
28:34
Speaker 7: Deputy Prime Minister says she's done nothing wrong, broken no
28:37
Speaker 7: parliamentary rules. But again it is this drip drip drip
28:42
Speaker 7: of information coming through and indeed outlandish claims. Really of hypocrisy,
28:46
Speaker 7: because the Labor Party have been accusing other parties of
28:50
Speaker 7: accepting freebies and perhaps allowing it to sway their policy
28:54
Speaker 7: decisions over the past few years, when now, of course
28:57
Speaker 7: they are able to have a go back at Labor
28:59
Speaker 7: and say you are no different. So the Prime Minister
29:02
Speaker 7: now saying he won't accept any free clothes from anyone,
29:07
Speaker 7: but all those free tickets to Taylor Swift Conference, the
29:11
Speaker 7: Arsenal Football Club Day. I think will continue.
29:14
Speaker 2: Goodness, everyone likes it and it doesn't matter what part
29:17
Speaker 2: are you're from. Everybody likes a nice coat, don't they.
29:19
Speaker 2: Gavin and Gray are UK correspondent with us. Thank you
29:21
Speaker 2: very much for your time this morning. It's just gone
29:24
Speaker 2: on at ten.
29:24
Speaker 6: To six, Bryan Bridge.
29:26
Speaker 2: When you're on news talks, there'd be The number of
29:27
Speaker 2: families living in emergency housing has cut has been reduced
29:31
Speaker 2: by get this, fifty seven percent, nearly sixty percent. This
29:35
Speaker 2: is according to new numbers from MSD and Housing in
29:38
Speaker 2: the Urban Development Agency. In December last year there were
29:42
Speaker 2: just over three thousand families in motels, now just thirteen hundred.
29:48
Speaker 2: Phil Gilbert is with us. He's the Community Housing ALTI
29:51
Speaker 2: at our chief executive Phil. Good morning, Oh hi Paul.
29:54
Speaker 5: Hi, right, all good, it's early in the morning.
29:57
Speaker 6: Brother.
29:57
Speaker 2: They give me Paul, tell me, do you do you
30:00
Speaker 2: buy these numbers? I mean it seems incredible.
30:03
Speaker 5: Oh look, it's a big turnaround and in a short
30:05
Speaker 5: space of time, and yeah, we believe they are accurate.
30:10
Speaker 5: If you are looking at children getting children out of motels,
30:14
Speaker 5: we think that's a fantastic idea hugely supportive of it,
30:18
Speaker 5: and it seems to be tracking in the right direction.
30:20
Speaker 2: Fantastic. Do you know where the twenty percent of people
30:24
Speaker 2: that leave and we don't know where they're going? Do
30:26
Speaker 2: you know where they're going?
30:28
Speaker 6: Oh?
30:28
Speaker 5: Look, we've got a pretty good idea. We've got in
30:31
Speaker 5: the community sector at about twenty thousand houses across the country,
30:34
Speaker 5: so about thirty five thous in New Zealanders go to
30:36
Speaker 5: bed every night in one of our houses, so we're
30:38
Speaker 5: picking up quite a few of them. But there's a
30:42
Speaker 5: lot more people lost in the system who don't sell
30:46
Speaker 5: out a census data and who we're not picking up.
30:49
Speaker 5: So you can't take this measure as the only measure
30:53
Speaker 5: of homelessness to get an accurate picture of what's actually
30:55
Speaker 5: playing out in society at the moment.
30:57
Speaker 2: The government has a target of fifteen hundred new social homes.
31:02
Speaker 2: This is by twenty twenty seven, which will be delivered
31:05
Speaker 2: by community housing providers, presumably like the ones that you
31:08
Speaker 2: work with. Yep. Is that doable?
31:11
Speaker 5: Yeah, look, that's absolutely right. That is our target. The
31:15
Speaker 5: government's backing our sector and it's our job to deliver
31:18
Speaker 5: those Yeah, it is achievable. Look, we're with non solutions
31:20
Speaker 5: at the moment to find the billion dollars. That's a
31:23
Speaker 5: thousand million dollars we're going to need to find pay
31:25
Speaker 5: for those houses, and that's tracking very well. We've done
31:29
Speaker 5: those sorts of numbers historically over the last few years
31:32
Speaker 5: before and so we're pretty confident we can deliver on those.
31:36
Speaker 2: Yes we can, Paul, what's changed. It feels like just
31:39
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago, even a year ago, this
31:42
Speaker 2: was an entrenched problem. We had thousands of families stuck
31:46
Speaker 2: in these motils and no real prospect of them getting out,
31:51
Speaker 2: and now all of a sudden, it's like evaporating into
31:53
Speaker 2: thin air.
31:55
Speaker 5: Oh yeah. Look, I think we have a tendency sometimes
31:58
Speaker 5: to oversimplify, but I think in general, communities, society, community providers,
32:04
Speaker 5: the government coming or has been tremendously helpful with helping
32:07
Speaker 5: fix this problem. Most of the families that have been
32:10
Speaker 5: permanently housed have been housed by them. And your members
32:12
Speaker 5: need to your listeners, sorry, need to remember. KO has
32:16
Speaker 5: been building one in five houses in the whole country
32:18
Speaker 5: for the last few years, so they've been really cracking
32:20
Speaker 5: into getting new supply going. I think we've all decided
32:24
Speaker 5: that we don't think growing up in motels is a
32:26
Speaker 5: good place for kids. And when we focus on a
32:28
Speaker 5: goal like that in New Zealand, we can fix this stuff. Actually,
32:31
Speaker 5: we're a pretty small country and this is a man
32:34
Speaker 5: made problem in the housing crisis. We can actually undo
32:37
Speaker 5: it if we want to.
32:38
Speaker 2: Paul, thank you very much for your time and your analysis.
32:40
Speaker 2: Paul Gilbert, the Community Housing altt our chief executive. It
32:43
Speaker 2: is seven minutes away from Sex.
32:45
Speaker 6: Bryan Bridge, your kids are remember we were.
32:50
Speaker 2: Your kids off to UNI soon. Well, they may be
32:53
Speaker 2: able to pack and choose which universities they can study
32:57
Speaker 2: courses from. There's been a research paper done by Sir
33:00
Speaker 2: Peter Gluckman which is going to come out previewed in
33:03
Speaker 2: the Herald today and more students seventy percent of students
33:08
Speaker 2: now going to university closer to their home because of
33:10
