Speaker 1: The issues, the interviews and the insight. Ryan Bridge on
0:06
Speaker 1: early edition with one roof make your Property search Simple,
0:11
Speaker 1: u S Talks.
0:11
Speaker 2: It'd be good morning, Welcome to you Monday. It is
0:13
Speaker 2: the twelfth of May. Six minutes after five. Great to
0:16
Speaker 2: have your company coming up on the program. Police Association
0:19
Speaker 2: on the Boy Races. If Judith Collins only crushed three cars,
0:24
Speaker 2: how many will Mitchell the Destroyer get? Do we think?
0:27
Speaker 2: We'll ask just before six this morning, Gavin Graham the
0:30
Speaker 2: UK the King is costing the taxpayer three times as
0:34
Speaker 2: much as the Queen did. We'll ask why under sixteen's
0:38
Speaker 2: in the social media band we look at that shortly
0:40
Speaker 2: and Andrew Alderson would sport the Warriors and their second
0:45
Speaker 2: half will be a point of discussion.
0:49
Speaker 1: The agenda.
0:52
Speaker 2: Monday, the twelfth of May, patients called for direct talks
0:55
Speaker 2: with Ukraine.
0:56
Speaker 3: James, do we want serious talks with Ukraine?
1:00
Speaker 4: Goal of such talks is to eliminate the root causes
1:02
Speaker 4: of the conflict, hunt to reach and enduring and long
1:05
Speaker 4: lasting peace for the historical long term.
1:09
Speaker 2: Do you mean that though? Putin? Do you? It comes
1:11
Speaker 2: after European leaders meet in Kiev, of course, at the
1:14
Speaker 2: weekend demanding a thirty day cease fire since.
1:16
Speaker 1: Monday, twelfth of May.
1:18
Speaker 5: A full and unconditional ceasefire must start or at least
1:23
Speaker 5: thirty days we together demanded from Russia.
1:26
Speaker 2: So there's calling a bluff and then there's double calling
1:28
Speaker 2: a bluff. And Trump's just tweeted about all of this.
1:30
Speaker 2: We'll get to that in a second. Ceasefire is elusive.
1:33
Speaker 2: This morning, more claims of violations with India and Pakistan.
1:37
Speaker 6: They have been repeated violations of the understanding arrived at
1:44
Speaker 6: earlier this evening, and we take very very serious notice
1:47
Speaker 6: of these violations.
1:49
Speaker 2: And we have heard the first Sunday mess from the
1:52
Speaker 2: Pope card By What is happening to me? May imedately
2:01
Speaker 2: come into a fact? Well? Yes, that would be nice,
2:04
Speaker 2: wouldn't it. Let's hope I suppose we can all pray.
2:06
Speaker 2: Eight minutes Half the Five News Talks MB.
2:08
Speaker 1: Whose and Views you trust. To start your day. It's
2:11
Speaker 1: Billy Edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof. Make Your
2:15
Speaker 1: Property Surge Simple?
2:16
Speaker 2: Can you talk ZMB Big week? This week? Quick look
2:19
Speaker 2: your heads around the world. We'll start with the Diddy
2:21
Speaker 2: trial that's happening this week. Everyone's going to be talking
2:24
Speaker 2: about the Diddy video. So his defense team, which sounds like,
2:28
Speaker 2: you know, crackpot defense team, absolute business, but they're desperate
2:32
Speaker 2: to keep this video out of the trial. They haven't
2:34
Speaker 2: been successful in doing that. It shows him assaulting his
2:38
Speaker 2: ex girlfriend and then dragging her in a hotel room.
2:41
Speaker 2: This was a video taken back in twenty sixteen. Anyway,
2:44
Speaker 2: defense said no, not relevant to a sex trafficking trial,
2:48
Speaker 2: and the judge said, yes it is. So that is
2:49
Speaker 2: kicking off this week Thursday. Could Thursday be the day
2:53
Speaker 2: that we get a face to face between Russia and
2:56
Speaker 2: Ukraine direct talks in Turkey about ending the war? Probably not?
3:02
Speaker 2: Probably not. And here's why, I mean, this looks much
3:05
Speaker 2: more like bluster from Putin because Europe gave him. They
3:09
Speaker 2: all stood up there in Kiev at the weekend, gave
3:11
Speaker 2: him an ultimatum. And he doesn't like ultimatums, Posin, does he.
3:15
Speaker 2: So Starmer was there, the whole crew was there, the
3:17
Speaker 2: whole gang in Kiev at the week and they said, basically,
3:20
Speaker 2: call a cease fire by Monday or guess what more sanctions.
3:26
Speaker 2: Putin gets his back up, of course, and says, okay, okay,
3:30
Speaker 2: let's talk face to face on Thursday, and no mention
3:33
Speaker 2: of a ceasefire, and now Zelenski says no meeting without
3:36
Speaker 2: a seat. I mean, you can see where this is going.
3:38
Speaker 2: You can see what's happening here. He's basically bought himself
3:40
Speaker 2: at least another few weeks before he gets hit with
3:42
Speaker 2: more sanctions. Anyway, in the meantime, I guess try and
3:47
Speaker 2: divide and conquer the unity of Europe. Also this week,
3:50
Speaker 2: so that may happen on Thursday, but probably won't happen
3:53
Speaker 2: on Thursday. Also this week, we've got inflation data out
3:55
Speaker 2: of the US. We'll all be watching that closely. Trump
3:58
Speaker 2: is off to the Middle East a week whistle stop
4:01
Speaker 2: with the golf States. Pope's inauguration day is coming up.
4:05
Speaker 2: We've got elections in Romania where the Trump candidate is
4:08
Speaker 2: on track to win. Elections in Poland, we've got elections
4:12
Speaker 2: in Portugal. And here, of course, the government now firmly
4:16
Speaker 2: on its work agenda. Is this idea of an under
4:19
Speaker 2: sixteenth insta banned. The social media thing problem is if
4:24
Speaker 2: you ban this for kids, and this is where we
4:27
Speaker 2: should all really start paying attention. If you ban it
4:30
Speaker 2: for kids, won't we all have to prove our age?
4:34
Speaker 2: How else do you make it work? I mean, you
4:35
Speaker 2: can't just have a box that says yes I'm eighteen
4:38
Speaker 2: or yes I'm sixteen or whatever and believe that that's
4:40
Speaker 2: going to have any effect. This is the problem Australia
4:42
Speaker 2: is having. So do you have to Will we all
4:45
Speaker 2: have to take a photo of ourselves with our passports
4:49
Speaker 2: or our driver's licenses send that to Facebook or TikTok
4:55
Speaker 2: in China? Do you trust them? Are you going to
4:58
Speaker 2: have biometric the art are taken so you can log
5:01
Speaker 2: into your Facebook account so that under sixteen year olds can't. No,
5:07
Speaker 2: I didn't think you were either. Anyway, we'll look at
5:09
Speaker 2: this problem for a potential law change.
5:12
Speaker 1: Next, the news you Need this morning and the in
5:15
Speaker 1: depth analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and One Room
5:19
Speaker 1: Make your property search simple.
5:21
Speaker 2: News Talk said B five thirteen on news Talk said
5:24
Speaker 2: B We've got New Zealand cricket players fleeing. This is
5:27
Speaker 2: an India and Pakistan. Obviously, the problems that they've been
5:29
Speaker 2: having over the weekend, reports that they were going to
5:31
Speaker 2: be fleeing and getting the howl out of dodge. Basically,
5:35
Speaker 2: now that there has been a ceasefire, does any of
5:37
Speaker 2: that change. There are some violations happening, though they are
5:40
Speaker 2: smaller than what was happening a couple of days ago.
5:43
Speaker 2: Andrew Aldison will be with us to talk about all
5:45
Speaker 2: of this in about five to seven minutes Time.
5:48
Speaker 3: News Talk, said b Bryan Bridge.
5:51
Speaker 2: Now, the member's bill has become a government bill. This
5:54
Speaker 2: is the Business on Kids and Social Media. Catherine Weed's
5:58
Speaker 2: instaban bill stays in the but Luckson says that parents
6:02
Speaker 2: love this idea. So Erica Stanford has picked up the
6:05
Speaker 2: government work on the under sixteen social media restrictions. They're
6:09
Speaker 2: calling them not a ban, but potential restrictions. Now, Melinda
6:13
Speaker 2: McLain is a social media parenting expert from the new
6:16
Speaker 2: group Before sixteen. Who's with me this morning, Melinda, Good morning,
6:20
Speaker 2: Karida Ryan, Good to have you on the show. First
6:23
Speaker 2: of all, this group that's been set up, is this
6:25
Speaker 2: all a coincidence that it's been set up at this
6:28
Speaker 2: at the time that the government's doing all this stuff.
6:32
Speaker 7: No, not a coincidence. I think two things at play.
6:36
Speaker 7: One is that Before sixteen has actually been working on
6:39
Speaker 7: this issue in the background for months, nearly a year,
6:44
Speaker 7: and has been raising the issue across all members of
6:49
Speaker 7: parliament in all parties. But there's also a point that
6:53
Speaker 7: we're hitting as a society, I think where we've got
6:56
Speaker 7: this sort of tidal wave of awareness around some of
6:59
Speaker 7: the harm and the issues, so you know, we are
7:02
Speaker 7: really coming to I think a societal turning point which
7:04
Speaker 7: the government is aware of as well as as well
7:08
Speaker 7: as parents who are who are actually sort of waking
7:10
Speaker 7: up to the issues.
7:12
Speaker 2: Is the problems. The age verification thing is a big problem, right,
7:15
Speaker 2: This is what the Australians are having problems with. How
7:17
Speaker 2: do you verify a child's age without us all having
7:20
Speaker 2: to send in a photo of our passports?
7:23
Speaker 1: Right?
7:23
Speaker 7: I think this is a really big misconception that thing
7:26
Speaker 7: that this can't be done. So there's a couple of
7:29
Speaker 7: things I'd say. So the first is that age verification
7:32
Speaker 7: currently exists within big tech platforms, so they are using
7:36
Speaker 7: their own age verification systems with a lot of accuracy already.
7:41
Speaker 7: They just have never had an incentive to deploy this
7:43
Speaker 7: as something that they need to do to have a
7:46
Speaker 7: minimum age because there's no legislation to enforce it. And
7:50
Speaker 7: the other thing I'd say is that there's an entire
7:52
Speaker 7: age verification industry outside of the tech that are working
7:55
Speaker 7: on this as well, and it hasn't so much been
7:58
Speaker 7: a problem in Australia, said Australia is going through a
8:01
Speaker 7: process of prototyping different options and being pitched to by
8:05
Speaker 7: a bunch of different organizations and working out what the
8:08
Speaker 7: best solution is. So, how do you not that they
8:10
Speaker 7: can't do it?
8:10
Speaker 2: Can you explain how they do do it then?
8:12
Speaker 7: Without Yeah, so there's a couple of different ways, and
8:16
Speaker 7: what we think would be the best way would be
8:18
Speaker 7: a combination of what's called facial recognition, biometric scanning and
8:23
Speaker 7: then using an ID token to match those two things.
8:27
Speaker 7: And these can be done with over ninety nine percent accuracy.
8:29
Speaker 7: That's what all the trials are saying.
8:31
Speaker 2: So you have so you have to give your biometric
8:34
Speaker 2: data to Facebook.
8:35
Speaker 7: No, in simple terms, you're not handing over your data.
8:39
Speaker 7: This is done externally by a third party and you
8:42
Speaker 7: don't hand over your data. So it just will basically
8:46
Speaker 7: verify an ID token. That doesn't mean you're handing over
8:49
Speaker 7: your data.
8:50
Speaker 2: So who can do they? How do they verify it? Then?
8:53
Speaker 2: I mean they must have to know that it's yours.
8:57
Speaker 7: Yeah, there will have to be a linking to this
8:59
Speaker 7: in the same way that we do this with things
9:01
Speaker 7: like real me accounts for bank accounts. It's just the
9:04
Speaker 7: issue with verification with something like real me is that
9:07
Speaker 7: that's not working on actually determining the difference between a
9:10
Speaker 7: fifteen and a sixteen year old. So that's the key,
9:12
Speaker 7: the key.
9:13
Speaker 2: What about because there are problems that, well, it could
9:16
Speaker 2: create problems for other people. Isn't this about parents knowing
9:19
Speaker 2: what their kids are doing? If you don't want your
9:21
Speaker 2: kid on social media, don't buy them a smartphone.
9:25
Speaker 7: I think that is something that would commonly be said
9:28
Speaker 7: by people who are not a parent of a thirteen
9:30
Speaker 7: or fourteen year old.
9:32
Speaker 2: That is me to be transparent, that is me.
9:37
Speaker 7: There we go this. You parents are not equipped to
9:40
Speaker 7: face up to what is happening with big tech. It
9:42
Speaker 7: is moving too fast. And we're not even talking about
9:46
Speaker 7: the issues of deep fakes of AI companions. You know,
9:50
Speaker 7: we are simply talking about the algorithmic feeding of content at.
9:53
Speaker 2: The moment, but the actually owning the phone in the
9:57
Speaker 2: first place. Explain to me why that is so so
10:00
Speaker 2: hard that a parent can't say to the kid n
10:02
Speaker 2: I mean, my mom said know to me about so
10:05
Speaker 2: many things. Growing up, I wasn't allowed a cell phone.
10:07
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, what's so hard about saying no till
10:10
Speaker 2: you're sixteenth?
10:11
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think the other thing that legislation will do,
10:15
Speaker 7: because it's a really it's a really good point, why
10:17
Speaker 7: not just say no? But but actually parents are no
10:20
Speaker 7: match for this. And if you're out on a limb
10:23
Speaker 7: with your kid, which at the moment, because the societal
10:25
Speaker 7: norms are so far the other way, those need to
10:28
Speaker 7: shift dramatically.
10:29
Speaker 2: So so parents and parents actually just need a harden
10:32
Speaker 2: up and tough enough.
10:35
Speaker 7: This is not a parenting issue, Ryan, This is and
10:38
Speaker 7: it is it is unfair to put this on to parents.
10:41
Speaker 7: They cannot, they cannot be a match for these big
10:45
Speaker 7: tech companies. And we while while we do need.
10:49
Speaker 2: But you can if you don't a phone, Okay, I mean,
10:51
Speaker 2: I mean it's simple. They big tech can't get you
10:54
Speaker 2: without a smartphone.
10:55
Speaker 7: They can get you, and they can get you through
10:57
Speaker 7: iPads and family computers and lat And what we're talking
11:01
Speaker 7: about is a really comprehensive overhaul of our online safety
11:05
Speaker 7: reforms for kids in New Zealand. We are shockingly behind,
11:08
Speaker 7: and so parents will have a role in this. But
11:10
Speaker 7: actually we need change at a system level and we
11:13
Speaker 7: need the government as a first step to set in
11:16
Speaker 7: place some legislation. And Eric Stanford is an excellent person
11:20
Speaker 7: to be leading YAOD.
11:21
Speaker 2: She's the best person you could have on the job.
11:23
Speaker 2: I reckon, Melinda Hey, interesting stuff where you look forward
11:26
Speaker 2: to having more debates like this and I'm sure in
11:29
Speaker 2: the days and weeks and months ahead. Melnda McLain with
11:31
Speaker 2: a social media parenting expert from the group. Before sixteen
11:35
Speaker 2: it's five to twenty news talks, said be Andrew Orlison.
11:37
Speaker 1: Next the first word on the News of the Day
11:41
Speaker 1: early edition with Ryan Bridge and one Room to make
11:44
Speaker 1: your Property Surge and symbol news talks the five.
11:48
Speaker 2: Twenty two Police Association. Just before six Andrew Orison here
11:51
Speaker 2: was support Andrew. Good morning Greeting's Ryan. Now the great
11:54
Speaker 2: weekend to sport and the worries. I mean, they won,
11:57
Speaker 2: but the second half wasn't that great.
11:59
Speaker 4: Edit's scrappy for the Warriors. But that's the thing you've
12:01
Speaker 4: got to hold on and that's what they've done. And
12:03
Speaker 4: now in clear second on the table, sixteen points two
12:07
Speaker 4: behind the Bulldogs and still clear the likes of the
12:09
Speaker 4: storm etc. See the storm, trouncing Benji Marshall's Tigers sixty
12:15
Speaker 4: four and il So eleven unanswered tries, their Marshall answering
12:20
Speaker 4: some questions about their die performance. But for the Warriors,
12:24
Speaker 4: I mean, and Luke mccuffin that what was a bit
12:26
Speaker 4: ten minutes to go?
12:27
Speaker 6: Was it?
12:27
Speaker 4: With the drop goal field goal and you be able
12:30
Speaker 4: to secure one point win.
12:32
Speaker 2: I'll take it. They will take that. I liked what
12:34
Speaker 2: Andrew Webster said at the weekend about learning while we're winning. Yeah,
12:38
Speaker 2: we've got to, you know, because yes, they're having some success,
12:41
Speaker 2: but they're quite a young squad, aren't they. You need
12:42
Speaker 2: to grow them kind of at the same time.
12:44
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, there's always a lot to like about
12:46
Speaker 4: what Andrew Webster says. I think he's just a bit
12:48
Speaker 4: of a sage, isn't he. I think, and rising through
12:51
Speaker 4: the coaching ranks, and the Warrior is lucky to have him,
12:55
Speaker 4: and yeah, so's let's put them in good stead.
12:57
Speaker 2: Now, what's happening with our cricket is that this is
12:59
Speaker 2: Indian Pakistan, which sort of the weekend that some of
13:01
Speaker 2: them are going to flee and then we've had a
13:03
Speaker 2: six fire. But there's violations what's going to happen.
13:05
Speaker 4: Yes, so watching brief at the moments are still uncertainty
13:07
Speaker 4: around that treat Bolt, Russian Revender and Devin Comay apparently
13:12
Speaker 4: heading home Mitchell Center, and Bevin Jacobs still left there.
13:16
Speaker 4: There's been a few air strikes, also an indication the
13:19
Speaker 4: Tilament will resume later this week, so it's all up
13:21
Speaker 4: in the air or not, as the case may be.
13:25
Speaker 4: For the Indian Premier League. Also the consideration of the
13:28
Speaker 4: Pakistan Super League, which due to run until May eighteenth,
13:31
Speaker 4: so another week or so or just about six days
13:33
Speaker 4: to go on that. That's been postponed indefinitely. So there's
13:36
Speaker 4: still about I think eight or nine New Zealanders involved,
13:39
Speaker 4: their likes that came with him, so I think in
13:41
Speaker 4: a non playing capacity. But yeah, I'm still some concern
13:45
Speaker 4: there for those those players in the Pakistan Super League
13:48
Speaker 4: as well.
13:48
Speaker 2: All right, keep an eye on that. And Ryan Fox,
13:50
Speaker 2: how's he doing.
13:51
Speaker 4: He's even par through two holes today, so still I
13:55
Speaker 4: think four strokes off the lead there, Ryan Fox. I
14:00
Speaker 4: guess the key to this tournament. There's two PGA tournaments
14:03
Speaker 4: going on simultaneously in the United States, and the winners
14:07
Speaker 4: of each of them will get a place at the
14:09
Speaker 4: PGA Championship next week. So Fox has to do that
14:11
Speaker 4: if he wants to qualify for that major. And yes,
14:15
Speaker 4: he's still well on the hunts so so far, so
14:17
Speaker 4: I've got to We had.
14:18
Speaker 3: That incredibly mercurial.
14:20
Speaker 4: Round yesterday with nine birdies and six bogies across in
14:25
Speaker 4: just the three pars from his round, but was able
14:29
Speaker 4: to stay in touch. The other one to watch, of
14:31
Speaker 4: course of the your co as well, she or Dame
14:33
Speaker 4: didier Co. She is in the thirteenth at the moment,
14:36
Speaker 4: so just sort a few strokes back I think off
14:38
Speaker 4: the lead then in New Jersey.
14:40
Speaker 2: Lots to watch. Andrew appreciate it, goode across. We're right,
14:43
Speaker 2: thank you very much, Andrew Alison the sport for us
14:45
Speaker 2: this morning twenty five minutes after five. I'll give you
14:47
Speaker 2: my thoughts on not just the social media stuff, but
14:51
Speaker 2: the car crushing, the fleeing drivers, all of that stuff too.
14:56
Speaker 1: Next the early edition for all the show podcast I
15:00
Speaker 1: AM Radio powered by Newstalks.
15:02
Speaker 2: IV twenty seven after five NEWSTALKSB. So we're cracking down
15:07
Speaker 2: on the kids. We're going to crush the cars, We're
15:09
Speaker 2: going to crush the smartphones, which all sounds nice and lovely,
15:13
Speaker 2: but it'll come down to enforcement. For all the time
15:16
Speaker 2: Judith Colins spent in the scrap metal yards for photo ops,
15:20
Speaker 2: it's not quite the crusher that those photo ops made
15:23
Speaker 2: her out to be. She wasn't. And the five years
15:26
Speaker 2: after they passed the law, guess how many cars they crushed? Three?
15:30
Speaker 2: But that was a three strike solution. Mark Mitchell, the
15:33
Speaker 2: destroyer is moving us to a first strike program. So
15:37
Speaker 2: you're gone in sixty second street race. You've just won
15:40
Speaker 2: away of those from the destruction of your car or
15:43
Speaker 2: potentially your car ending up on the turner's auction website.
15:47
Speaker 2: If you've tried to get some sleep in an area
15:49
Speaker 2: where this convoy or one like at some sabaru at
15:52
Speaker 2: three am in the morning and there are dozens of them,
15:56
Speaker 2: very annoying, very you know, distracting, can'ts I can see
16:00
Speaker 2: why they're doing this, so why not double down on
16:02
Speaker 2: the crush of thing. But it's about enforcement, isn't it.
16:07
Speaker 2: And that's the same with the phones. The phones, the
16:11
Speaker 2: tiktop problem far bigger than the car one because it
16:14
Speaker 2: affects well most kids, about ninety percent of kids when
16:18
Speaker 2: they get to high school have a smartphone. So this
16:21
Speaker 2: is interesting because we moved beyond a members bill now
16:24
Speaker 2: to a government bill, so a social media ban of
16:27
Speaker 2: some sort is officially on the agenda. The problem with
16:31
Speaker 2: enforcement here is obvious. How do you know when there
16:35
Speaker 2: are so many workarounds, how do you make sure they're
16:38
Speaker 2: not going on social media? And the enforces will not
16:41
Speaker 2: be the police, It will be the parents. And here
16:44
Speaker 2: is the problem with that. Most parents spend time on
16:47
Speaker 2: social media, spend more time on social media than their kids.
16:51
Speaker 2: Nearly half of KIWI teams say that their parent is
16:54
Speaker 2: at least sometimes distracted by their phone when they're talking
16:59
Speaker 2: to them. What sort of an example is being set here?
17:03
Speaker 2: Is it like telling you not to smoke while you're
17:05
Speaker 2: puffing away on a pack of Winning Blues on the couch.
17:09
Speaker 2: Enforcement of whatever rules we pass to manage the impulses
17:13
Speaker 2: of our teenagers will ultimately be determined by how successful
17:18
Speaker 2: those measures are in being enforced met such a five
17:24
Speaker 2: Years Talks Lots of.
17:25
Speaker 1: Tech Get Ahead of the Headlines on early edition with
17:30
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and one roof Make Your Property Search Simple,
17:34
Speaker 1: News Talk ZB.
17:43
Speaker 2: Good Morning twenty four away from six News Talks said
17:46
Speaker 2: b it is Monday morning, the trials of May and
17:49
Speaker 2: the car crushing. Will talk to Police Association President Chris
17:53
Speaker 2: Carhill about that before six and we'll be live to
17:55
Speaker 2: the UK for the latest on the Ukraine putin talks
17:58
Speaker 2: that may or may not happen through they're under sixteen
18:02
Speaker 2: social media band situation. I don't actually personally, I don't
18:07
Speaker 2: care if this happens or not. It's not something that
18:10
Speaker 2: directly affects me or bothers me much. But we spoke
18:13
Speaker 2: to Before sixteen, the new group that's been set up
18:16
Speaker 2: to push for this earlier in the program. But just
18:19
Speaker 2: if you're a parent and you're worried about your child
18:23
Speaker 2: on social media, and some parents are so worried about
18:27
Speaker 2: their children on social media that they you know, they're
18:30
Speaker 2: being bullied at school, they're letting them stay home from school,
18:33
Speaker 2: and things are that bad. You know, if it is
18:35
Speaker 2: that bad, why would you buy your kid a phone?
18:39
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean it's like giving them buying them
18:42
Speaker 2: a gun, you know, or giving them drugs. I mean,
18:44
Speaker 2: if it's that bad, why are you buying them a fine?
18:48
Speaker 2: And if you want this to be from you know,
18:50
Speaker 2: sixteen and under, just buy them one when they're seventeen. Look,
18:55
Speaker 2: as I said to our guest earlier, I'm not a parent,
18:57
Speaker 2: so I don't know. Maybe it, but can't you say no?
19:02
Speaker 2: Can you just say no? And if you can't tell me,
19:04
Speaker 2: why not, Ryan, I've got thirteen and eleven year olds
19:08
Speaker 2: that they don't have phones. Anthea says this is a
19:10
Speaker 2: parenting problem. Another says, my daughter says no to her
19:15
Speaker 2: fourteen year old about social media and she accepts it.
19:18
Speaker 2: What's the problem. Luke says social media is terrible. I
19:21
Speaker 2: think we should ban ban it. I'm all for the
19:23
Speaker 2: draconian laws. Twenty two away from six, Ryan Bridge, Callum
19:28
Speaker 2: Proctor and Donedin for us this morning, Calm, good morning.
19:31
Speaker 2: Fire at a Dunedin homeless shelter is sparking a conversation
19:35
Speaker 2: about government investment. Yea morning, Ryan.
19:38
Speaker 8: This big blaze ripped through multiple tents at the Kensington
19:41
Speaker 8: Oval last Friday. One person was injured there. Lucky really
19:45
Speaker 8: that it wasn't a lot worse than that. And that's
19:47
Speaker 8: led to our Mayor Jills Raddick calling on the government
19:50
Speaker 8: to provide more funding for suitable facilities here to help
19:53
Speaker 8: this community. He has previously proposed using a vacant holiday
19:58
Speaker 8: park site, but that hasn't been some ordered by agencies.
20:01
Speaker 8: A local labor MP Ingrid Leary agrees with our mayor.
20:05
Speaker 8: She says Duneda just doesn't have the services of the
20:07
Speaker 8: cities getting and the Ministry of Social Developments approved only
20:11
Speaker 8: eighteen grants for short stays and emergency accommodation in the
20:14
Speaker 8: last six months, down from one hundred and forty seven
20:16
Speaker 8: a year ago.
20:17
Speaker 2: All Right, how's your weather, Callum.
20:19
Speaker 8: Fine today, high cloud for Danita, northerleies and seventeen.
20:22
Speaker 2: Nice one clears and christ Wh's clear? Good morning, Good morning.
20:25
Speaker 2: Now what's happening with the weather and Bank's Peninsula?
20:28
Speaker 9: Well, yeah, the state of emergency remains in place for
20:31
Speaker 9: Banks Peninsula.
20:31
Speaker 2: Ryan, hard to believe.
20:32
Speaker 9: We have had a couple of pretty good days here,
20:35
Speaker 9: but twelve days ago we had that record rainfall in Canterbury.
20:39
Speaker 9: That's when the city Council noted this one hundred meter
20:42
Speaker 9: crack opening up on Kadoha's Lighthouse Road. We've had an
20:45
Speaker 9: update from Controller Brent Smith who says the land still
20:48
Speaker 9: remains very saturated, particularly after more heavy rain on Friday,
20:53
Speaker 9: and they are watching for further slips. He says they're
20:55
Speaker 9: receiving some updates from monitoring equipment on site, but they'll
20:58
Speaker 9: need forty eight hours hours of data in order to
21:01
Speaker 9: lift any state of emergency. Is is that data will
21:04
Speaker 9: show whether the slip is moving and then enable counsel
21:07
Speaker 9: to make some informed decisions for the residents who remain evacuated.
21:11
Speaker 9: There's also some plans in place should the situation further escalate.
21:14
Speaker 2: Well, let's hope they can get back home soon. How's
21:16
Speaker 2: your weather generally today?
21:17
Speaker 9: Clear for Canterbury today fine, aside from a bit of
21:20
Speaker 9: long cloud early northeasterlies this afternoon and a high of sixteen.
21:24
Speaker 2: Mexis and Wellington max Happy Monday, Yes you too. Now
21:28
Speaker 2: what's happening with the power outages.
21:31
Speaker 10: Lingering anger in Wellington? The gale force winds and heavy
21:34
Speaker 10: rain of a couple of weeks ago, at one point
21:37
Speaker 10: causing about twelve hundred homes to lose power. The morning
21:40
Speaker 10: after there was still one thousand. Almost a week later
21:42
Speaker 10: there was still one hundred and fifty or so. What
21:44
Speaker 10: it seemed to do is show how vulnerable our network
21:47
Speaker 10: may be. Wellington Electricity says there were a few secondary
21:51
Speaker 10: faults as well a handful of homes that were kept
21:53
Speaker 10: in the dark beyond those six days. Former councilor Sue
21:57
Speaker 10: Kegley has reminded the Post that Welling Electricity is not
22:01
Speaker 10: locally owned. In fact, it has Hong Kong owners a
22:04
Speaker 10: listed address in the Bahamas. It was sold to the
22:06
Speaker 10: public in the nineties. She fought against that and she's
22:09
Speaker 10: now told the Post there's been little evidence of investment
22:12
Speaker 10: and a real worry when our power is run by
22:14
Speaker 10: someone on another side of the planet.
22:16
Speaker 2: I remember when that has the weather today, Matt.
22:19
Speaker 10: We fine, sorry, yeah fine, Northerlys High of sixteenth Central, brilliant.
22:24
Speaker 2: Thank you. It's nineteen minutes away from six and neighbors
22:27
Speaker 2: here with me in Auckland. Good morning, good morning. How
22:30
Speaker 2: was your weekend?
22:30
Speaker 3: It was good, lovely and quiet.
22:32
Speaker 11: Yes, very good.
22:33
Speaker 2: Now let's talk about this measles case. We now know
22:36
Speaker 2: where the first well the case that's been identified in
22:39
Speaker 2: Auckland has come from.
22:41
Speaker 11: Yes, that's right, crew member full of three sixty firies.
22:44
Speaker 11: Now the case is linked to overseas travel. But I
22:47
Speaker 11: can tell you that the patient was not infectious while
22:50
Speaker 11: flying home to Auckland from Asia. So what we do
22:53
Speaker 11: know the locations the case visited while infectious. Now they
22:57
Speaker 11: include Woolwards, Calston. This was last Seturday and multiple follows.
23:02
Speaker 11: Three sixty Faiy sailings, which was last Monday, Monday, the
23:05
Speaker 11: fifth of May. And you know these some of these,
23:10
Speaker 11: you know fairy sailings. They were Auckland to half Moon
23:13
Speaker 11: Bay return late afternoon early evening. Also the Auckland to
23:17
Speaker 11: Devenport Fairy times from seven pm to ten pm on
23:21
Speaker 11: the Monday. So if you are concerned or worried, you
23:24
Speaker 11: know the symptoms of measles, you know, fever, running, no
23:26
Speaker 11: sore eyes, rash, of course, contact health line immediately.
23:31
Speaker 2: All right, good advice. Yes, how's our weather today? Neva
23:33
Speaker 2: fine chance.
23:34
Speaker 11: Of a morning shower.
23:35
Speaker 2: Today's high nineteen brilliant, Have a great morning. It is
23:38
Speaker 2: eighteen minutes away from six news talk said be somebody
23:41
Speaker 2: has said here the about the car crushing that's coming.
23:45
Speaker 2: Wouldn't hurt to crush a few Falcons. Apparently they are
23:49
Speaker 2: the budget skid car of choice now because they're cheaper.
23:52
Speaker 2: It'll help mitigate the emissions too, says Andy. We'll talk
23:56
Speaker 2: to the Police Association about that just before six and
23:58
Speaker 2: we'll get to the UKNY.
24:00
Speaker 1: International Correspondence with insign Eye Insurance Peace of Mind for
24:04
Speaker 1: New Zealand business at christ.
24:06
Speaker 2: Carhill Police Affigation standing by a quarter to six. Now
24:09
Speaker 2: we'll go to our UK europe correspondent Gavin Gray given
24:12
Speaker 2: good morning either now good to have you know, tell
24:15
Speaker 2: us what because Trump is tweeting now about the Ukraine
24:18
Speaker 2: potential talks happening on Thursday. But this all kicked off
24:21
Speaker 2: because of the European leaders in Kiev at the weekend.
24:24
Speaker 2: What's the latest here, Yeah, that's right.
24:27
Speaker 5: So European leaders meeting in Kiev on Saturday. That was
24:32
Speaker 5: Germany's Frederick meets and Poland's Donald Tusk, Francis Emmanual Macron,
24:36
Speaker 5: the UK Secure Starmer others were on a virtual platform
24:42
Speaker 5: and they said, look, really, we think there's one thing
24:44
Speaker 5: to push Russia on, and this is a thirty day
24:47
Speaker 5: ceasefire proposal beginning on Monday, and the threat hanging over
24:51
Speaker 5: Russia was to face new and massive sanctions. Well, Russia
24:54
Speaker 5: came back first of all with the government spokespstas saying
24:57
Speaker 5: we won't be pressured into anything. And now pres and
25:00
Speaker 5: putin in a late night news conference, very unusual for
25:03
Speaker 5: him didn't give a clear response. Instead, he said, right,
25:06
Speaker 5: I want now direct talks with Ukraine in Turkey next Thursday,
25:09
Speaker 5: we gather the French. The Turkish President Richardtia Birdawan says
25:14
Speaker 5: he's okay to host. He's going to do that, and
25:16
Speaker 5: we now think US Secretary State Marco Ruby is off
25:19
Speaker 5: to Turkey. The question is, of course, what will happen
25:23
Speaker 5: on Monday, in other words, in just a few hours
25:26
Speaker 5: time European time, because will that cease fire kick in
25:30
Speaker 5: or will things just continue as normal which will leave
25:33
Speaker 5: the plans of the European leaders rather in tatus.
25:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's that a calling a bluff and then a
25:38
Speaker 2: double calling of a bluff. Right, Yeah, anyway, we hope
25:42
Speaker 2: there's a meeting on Thursday. Tell us the Royal household
25:45
Speaker 2: the cost to the text by the British text, by
25:47
Speaker 2: his trible But it's all about Buckingham Palace basically, isn't it.
25:51
Speaker 5: Yeah, troubled in real terms in the last twelve to
25:54
Speaker 5: thirteen years. You're right, Buckingham Palace is the big black
25:57
Speaker 5: hole because there's a ten year program to modernize facilities
26:01
Speaker 5: in the palace, including cabling. You wouldn't believe how ancient
26:04
Speaker 5: the plumbing, the wiring and the new lifts going in
26:08
Speaker 5: as well, and it's roughly going to cost eight hundred
26:12
Speaker 5: million New Zealand dollars to do it over several years now.
26:16
Speaker 5: Of course, that is being done with government money, with
26:20
Speaker 5: taxpayer money. The Sovereign Grant, which provides taxpayer support for
26:24
Speaker 5: the monarchy, was introduced thirteen years ago at sixty five
26:28
Speaker 5: million New Zealand dollars a year, and it's risen now
26:31
Speaker 5: to just under the two hundred and eighty million New
26:36
Speaker 5: Zealand dollars a year, so once inflation's taken into account,
26:39
Speaker 5: it's roughly threefold. But most of that appears to be
26:42
Speaker 5: going into Buckingham Palace. Now some dispute these figures. They
26:45
Speaker 5: don't like the way it's been calculated. Republic, which doesn't
26:48
Speaker 5: want the monarchy around, says all those figures do not
26:52
Speaker 5: include the figures of security, and that is a massive
26:55
Speaker 5: fee as well that should be added. In opinion polls,
26:58
Speaker 5: those suggest monarchy remains still very popular. Ryan Back in February,
27:02
Speaker 5: fifty five percent viewed the monarchy positively, compared with thirty
27:05
Speaker 5: six who saw it negatively. However, when it comes to
27:08
Speaker 5: the money. The figures rather swap around, with fifty six
27:11
Speaker 5: percent opposing twenty nine percent degreeing And it seems people
27:15
Speaker 5: over the age of sixty five think the rows are
27:18
Speaker 5: good value for money, but much much fewer less than
27:21
Speaker 5: half of the twenty five to forty nine year olds
27:24
Speaker 5: think that's the case.
27:25
Speaker 2: Interesting Stuffkevin, appreciate your time, Gavin gray Are UK europe correspondent. Interestingly,
27:29
Speaker 2: that costs still lower than presidential head of state systems.
27:34
Speaker 2: Just gone twelve minutes, sorry, eleven minutes away from.
27:37
Speaker 1: Six Bryan Bridge.
27:38
Speaker 2: So Mike Mitchell's promising to basically outcrush the crusher on
27:42
Speaker 2: boy races. If you're caught racing once and convicted, your
27:45
Speaker 2: car can be crushed or sold rather than the current
27:48
Speaker 2: three strikes law. Police Association president Chris Carrho with me
27:51
Speaker 2: this morning. Chris, good morning, Good morning, Ryan. Lots to
27:54
Speaker 2: talk to you about this morning. So the first of all,
27:56
Speaker 2: Crusher actually only crushed three cars. How many do you
27:59
Speaker 2: think police might get with these new powers.
28:02
Speaker 12: Well, the one conviction rather than having to have three
28:05
Speaker 12: convictions under the current law, should make a difference. Look,
28:09
Speaker 12: we've got to do something. These things are out of control.
28:11
Speaker 6: Them.
28:11
Speaker 12: They're not just anti social boy racing. These things have
28:14
Speaker 12: got to the point where the deliberately antagonizing police when
28:18
Speaker 12: they turn up, they're getting bottled, they're getting their cars rammed,
28:22
Speaker 12: and the public has had a guts of it when
28:23
Speaker 12: it's in their neighborhood. So I think it's where the try.
28:26
Speaker 2: The firearms registry. So actors are basically doing agree to
28:29
Speaker 2: disagree over this review. This talk of only saving two
28:34
Speaker 2: lives a year if we have a firearms registry, does
28:38
Speaker 2: that sound worth the expense? I mean, is that? What
28:40
Speaker 2: is that what you are hearing?
28:43
Speaker 12: Well, it's a ridiculous measure. She asked for this review,
28:47
Speaker 12: and she doesn't like the results, and now she doesn't
28:49
Speaker 12: want to listen to it. I mean, two lives. To me,
28:52
Speaker 12: two lives is worth it. But that was one incident.
28:55
Speaker 12: She forgets that, actually the third life was the offender
28:57
Speaker 12: who took his own life. What about the two police
29:00
Speaker 12: officers that were shot at their incident, one suffering life
29:03
Speaker 12: change and injuries. These are just one and so then
29:06
Speaker 12: I can give you dozens where they're actually taking firearms
29:09
Speaker 12: off the street because they've been identified through the regis
29:13
Speaker 12: chairs being supplied by licensed firearms owners to criminals. She's
29:17
Speaker 12: just upset that the results have actually been outstanding. And
29:21
Speaker 12: why would you do a review after one year when
29:23
Speaker 12: it's a five year inmentation before this is up and running.
29:27
Speaker 12: It's just crazy that she doesn't like what she's hearing
29:29
Speaker 12: so she wants to stop it.
29:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, it does sound a bit creat not to be
29:32
Speaker 2: having a review, a review of a review which you
29:35
Speaker 2: initiated to Hey, the five hundred extra cops a year
29:40
Speaker 2: basically a few from what I can gather a few
29:42
Speaker 2: months later than promised. We did actually know this a
29:44
Speaker 2: little while ago. But big deal? Or do you think
29:46
Speaker 2: they are genuinely trying here?
29:49
Speaker 12: I like they're definitely trying. They're trying really hard. Look,
29:52
Speaker 12: we always said it's an arbitrary date that you give.
29:55
Speaker 12: It's going to be tough. But I think what you
29:58
Speaker 12: have to look is longer term, is this actually going
30:01
Speaker 12: to be a bigger problem? We know that a struggling
30:04
Speaker 12: to recruit, but we're also seeing attrition rise. I think
30:07
Speaker 12: you're going to see longer term some real concerns around
30:11
Speaker 12: whether police can get enough staff Auckland to south Is.
30:14
Speaker 12: You know they've got like ten percent vacancies for constavory
30:17
Speaker 12: staff right across Auckland at start become a real pressure point.
30:21
Speaker 12: It's a worldwide problem and I think we might be
30:23
Speaker 12: seeing it manifest itself in New Zealand.
30:25
Speaker 2: Now appreciate your time.
30:26
Speaker 12: Chris.
30:27
Speaker 2: Chris Carhill Police Association President with me this morning. It
30:30
Speaker 2: is nine to six News Talk sev B on.
30:33
Speaker 1: Your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with Ryan
30:38
Speaker 1: Bridge and one Roof to make your property search simple.
30:42
Speaker 2: News Talk SIB six the Sex on your Monday morning.
30:45
Speaker 2: Is anyone else worried about having to pay to die?
30:48
Speaker 2: Was that just me? Over the weekend I found this
30:50
Speaker 2: quite alarming from Hospice New Zealand. They've come out basically
30:53
Speaker 2: ringing the alarm bell. You know, do you will you
30:55
Speaker 2: have to go private? If you've got a terminal illness,
30:58
Speaker 2: you're in your dying days in pain? Do you go
31:02
Speaker 2: home and have a panadole? How are we going to
31:04
Speaker 2: do this without them getting the money that they need.
31:07
Speaker 2: That's the problem that we've got because demand is up.
31:10
Speaker 2: We're all living longer, which means there are more of
31:12
Speaker 2: us and we all eventually die. Hospice nurses are paid
31:17
Speaker 2: less than hospital nurses and Basically at the moment, Hospital
31:20
Speaker 2: New Zealand is topping up the coffers to pay them more,
31:23
Speaker 2: but that's putting them further into the red. There's no
31:26
Speaker 2: pay equity deal for now because that's just been sort
31:29
Speaker 2: of blown up. So what happens do you cut your services?
31:33
Speaker 2: Do you disappear? And if that happens, then where do
31:36
Speaker 2: we go to? Dine Ray and Bredge by the way
31:40
Speaker 2: from six now, Mike, good morning. On that happy note,
31:42
Speaker 2: I was going to.
31:42
Speaker 13: Say, as you'll show normally this chipperly that on a Monday.
31:46
Speaker 13: Have you seen what they're doing in Britain with the
31:48
Speaker 13: immigration speaking of rest homes, they're changing the immigration rules.
31:52
Speaker 13: You will no longer be allowed to import somebody into
31:56
Speaker 13: the country if they're going to work in rest homes.
31:58
Speaker 13: You imagine if we did that, if we did that
32:01
Speaker 13: in this country, no one.
32:02
Speaker 3: Would there be literally no one doing anything.
32:05
Speaker 2: Who's going to do it? Then?
32:06
Speaker 3: Well the only Brits on the doll. BRIT's on the doll.
32:10
Speaker 13: So you can't bring somebody in because they surmised that
32:13
Speaker 13: it's a weak visa link and.
32:15
Speaker 3: You end up on a benefit.
32:16
Speaker 13: So in other words, that somebody comes in from Pakistan
32:19
Speaker 13: and goes, oh yeah, work in the old people's home,
32:20
Speaker 13: and then three months later you quit and then you
32:22
