  Speaker 3: tariff's come into effect tomorrow. Trudeau says Canada did not

  Speaker 3: ask for this.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: The President Trump wants to usher in a new golden
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: age for the United States. It's a better power is
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: to partner with Canada after punishment.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Meanwhile, Ontario, the state has responded with a punishment of
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: its own. Premier Doug Ford has announced the province will
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: no longer sell us booze. So Jack's off, No Jack

• 2:02
  Speaker 3: One person has died in Townsville's flooding emergency. Police have
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: announced a sixty three year old woman died while trying
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: to escape the floods. Six suburbs have been evacuated as
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: some areas received half of Townsville's annual rainfall in just
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: twenty four hours. Back home, the government's expanding the range
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: of sanctions included. It has beneficiary traffic light system and scheme.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Job Seekers will now have to perform three job search
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: activities every week for four weeks. They will also have
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: to attend employment related courses for at least five hours

  Speaker 3: the States, it's Grammy Day. The Grammy is expected to

  Speaker 3: be a somber affair this year. The annual Oscars of
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Music takes place in La today. That is Billie Eilish
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: and of course it's going to be somber in response
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: to the devastating La fires, So we're not going to
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: have parties and the ceremony will have a strong focus
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: on the fires and all those who lost their lives
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: and homes.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day Early
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: edition with Andrew Dickens and one roof Make Your Property
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Search Simple, News Talk Sippy.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: It's time after five, right, good morning to you. Outrage
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: of the Day is the photograph of the poor cop
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: and among the mob vest and hat, which was all
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: over social media. Now it's that the legacy media was
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: all over the papers yesterday. Now the police commissioner says
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: the photo is disappointing and below professional standards. The police
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: are investigating. The police are determining if further action is needed.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Now context is everything. This photo is a couple of
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: years old, taken before gang Regalia became contraband. I wonder
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: why it's news now. I wonder why someone started spreading
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: it on social media. Now what are they trying to say?
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: This cop appears to be in the police station. He
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: appears to be in an office. He's wearing his police shirt.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: He appears to be parading some conference sate Gang Reghavia
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: after a successful operation against the gangs. There is no
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: hint he's glorifying the gang. To me, actually it looks
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: like he's belittling the gangs. But now the cop is
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: in trouble because someone thought it was a good idea
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: to disperse this photo farm wise. Now, look, our cops
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: have worn the brunt of social media attacks because of
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: political virtue signaling for years now. A political battle that
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: said the previous government and the police were soft on crime.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Rebounded on the actual cops. It be little cops who
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: put their lives on the line every single day. But
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: some armchair warrior would sit there and say, oh, yes,
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: soft on crime drove them nuts. They were and now
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: they're in the firing line again. When that, I feel
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: probably the cops should be celebrated. Our cops have never
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: been soft on crime, nor are they now. They need
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: our support, not our opper probian They're doing the best
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: in a difficult environment and they don't need some moralizing
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: of armchair critics when the cop themselves celebrate small winds,
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: scats and to the talk back topic of the day,
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: I'm sure this will be done. Who on earth thinks
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: that banning phizzy drinks from a speedway meeting is going
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: to help the health of the nation in any material
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: way whatsoever. I yes, phizzy drinks rot young teeth, but
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: that's young teeth in the care of parents and families
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: and on decisions to regularly consume at home, not because
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: of a big night out celebrating a long week of work.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Let's go. Let's go family, Let's go to the speedway.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: You don't tell Liam Lawson not to drink champagne after
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: winning a race to you now, and our problem with
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: the sugary drinks is not their consumption, but they're inappropriate consumption.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: So for me, there's no problem with a coke at
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: the speedway, but there is a problem with coke for
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: breakfast or a coke every day. So it's coming up
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: thirteen minutes after five on our first interviews on the
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: Way with Matthew Haig who's a lawyer and he's part
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: of this COVID inquiry the Royal Commission. Phase two of
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: the COVID inquiry kicking in today and it's different and
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: we'll tell you how in a few moments. Time is
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: looking at big stuff like mandates and lockdowns. And it's
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: in a couple of minutes time here on News Talks
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: at B on.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Your Radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with Andrew
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Dickens and one roof make your Property Search Simple with
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Youth Talks it B.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Yes, the time is now five fifteen. Phase two of
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: the COVID inquiry is kicking in today. A submission portal
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: and awareness campaign is being launched today where the public
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: can submit feedback around key decisions the New Zealand government
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: made during the pandemic. And you know these decisions vaccine mandates, lockdowns,
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: extended lockdowns, rat tests and tracing. I'm sure you've got
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: an opinion. You can go to the portal. Matthew Haig
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: is a lawyer who defended a client who didn't want
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: the COVID JAB and he joins me, now, hello, Matthew.
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: Good morning Andrew.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Just to remind us, well, why are we having a
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: second phase of this COVID inquiry.
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, the first phase was heavily criticized, and I
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: think rightly so for two reasons. One is who the
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: commissioners were. Some were people who had openly publicly advocated
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: for stronger lockdown measures, and so people perceived there to
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: be a degree of bias in what their decision would be.
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: And secondly, the terms of reference for the first phase
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: were so narrow, they were all future focused and they
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: didn't really cover the decisions of the government.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: So how is this phase different?
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: Different commissioners, different terms of reference. So this phase specifically
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: addresses the government decisions, especially the lockdowns in late twenty
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: twenty one and vaccine mandates.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Yes, in phase two has been there by the chair
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Grant Illingworth k C and not Professor Tony Blakeley. That
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: you've referred to this you know this will minimize the
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: criticism around bias, won't it.
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah? I think so, And I think people should be
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: optimistic that this phase of the inquiry will address and
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: scrutinize the decisions that affected so many people in New Zealand.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And why do you think they actually went for
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: Blakely in the first place, You know, because he was
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: recommending stuff. I know you have medical advice, medical knowledge,
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: and he could aid in that way. But surely for
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: these commissions you need someone who is just straight down
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: the law, a casey, a lawyer.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: I think people just want objective scrutiny. And in the
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: first case, Professor Blackley did openly advocate for stronger lockdown measures.
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: People didn't trust that they wanted someone who was objective.
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: I think there's still going to be an area of
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: mistrust because the end of the day, this is still
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: a function of the government, even though they are independent.
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: But I think people should be optimistic that this phase
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: will be better. And I really encourage anyone who has
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: a say, whether it's pro or anti measures taken by
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: government to have their say.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Okay, so what do you think people will be mostly
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: submitting about because they're the big ones, aren't they the
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: man that's lockdowns and the rat tests and the tracing.
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think there'll be people who have either been
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: affected by those things or have family or friends who
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: have been as well. We were lucky to ripre sent
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: a few dozen people who were and there were hundreds
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: of people that lost their jobs, including mems of the police,
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: Defense Force, fire and emergency. There are still people who
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: are going through the court system now we're waiting on
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: a Supreme Court decision about the end of their flockdown,
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: which is only recently presided.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Okay, and are you making any submissions? Are you part
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: of anybody making submissions to this phase two of the inquiry?
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I would like to. I'm thinking just carefully about
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: how I can best do that because the end of
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: the day, we work for our clients, and so I
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: just want to think carefully about how I can best
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: do that, probably in consultation with them.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: So what do you hope to get out of that phase?
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: If you're being involved watching, you know, what would you
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: like to see get out of it?
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: Robust findings. You know that this is not going to
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: be an inquiry that results in compensation or the restoration
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: of people's jobs. What we want is scrutiny on the
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: people who made those decisions, the former Prime Minister, Chris
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: Sippins and others. I think, more than anything don't want
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: that kind of thing to happen again. In public health
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: measures can be justified, but they need to be balanced
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: against individual rights of freedom and the economic cost of
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: extended lockdowns and mandates on people who really, realistically have
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: no additional risk than you would face in the supermarket
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: in the community.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Do you know the address of the submission portal because
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: Yes, it'll be in the media release. So it's an
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: online portal, so people can easily find that just by
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: googling the Phase two COVID inquiry, and that it should
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: be fairly easy for people to make it submission electronically,
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: and there is an option of requesting to make it
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: in person.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Great souf, Matthew, thank you for waking up early. Thank
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: you for your time, Matthew Haig Lawyer. And here it
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: goes here, it goes here, it goes the big questions,
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: and isn't it good that we've got illingworth a case
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: instead of someone who was a medical official, a professional
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: who was advising pro vaccine. You've got to be right
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: in the midll, don't you? It is nineteen minutes out
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: to five, big weekend of sport football or good FC wow,

• 11:30
  Speaker 3: I did and I tempressive showing this well. I'll tell
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: you why they are magnificent in defense. They're very physical.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: The refs are allowing physical play. They're a great watch
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: all the time. You know, and when you do a
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: big tackle. People go why and if you've got a
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: hei every every two minutes, you're a happy punter, you know.
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they're pretty compelling.
• 11:47
  Speaker 7: And what a start to this this tenure of these
• 11:51
  Speaker 7: or this season campaign life.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: That's what that's what happens when you get a pro
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: in charge. Speaking about a pro, Chris Wood gets a
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: hat trick.
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: I know, just another remarkable display from Chris Wood to
• 12:04
  Speaker 7: seven NL victory and yeah, seventeen goals this season.
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: Just yeah, a frontier, just pioneering from New Zealand football.
• 12:13
  Speaker 7: What Chris Wood's been able to put together there, seventeen
• 12:15
  Speaker 7: goals for the season and sitting behind for Mohammed Salah
• 12:20
  Speaker 7: Sala and Early Harland and just continues to go from
• 12:25
  Speaker 7: strength to stry. I mean, I guess from a team
• 12:26
  Speaker 7: perspective too, Nottingham Forest. I mean we talk about Wood
• 12:29
  Speaker 7: is individual. They haven't played in Europe since nineteen ninety
• 12:32
  Speaker 7: six and they've got a buffer there.
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: They're well on the way.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: I remember Brian cuff Yeah, Brian Cuffe was the manager.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: Can I just say how things have changed? We just
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: talked about football right at the start, and that's how
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: big football has suddenly become in New Zealand. It's been
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: growing for a long time. But I think that's great however.
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: It is, and I think it's a growing trend. I
• 12:55
  Speaker 7: think it's going to continue.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: My boy was at the game and I phoned him
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: up because one of him come around. We're going to
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: do dinner. We did dinner last night and I said
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: I wanted to talk to him about what he wanted
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: for dinner, and he said he actually takes the back
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: saying I can't phone you it's too loud. And that's
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: a good thing. Do we get all, lydia Co? How's
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: Lydia going now?
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: Lydia Co struggling at the start.
• 13:14
  Speaker 7: She's dropped two shots today so far through three holes,
• 13:17
  Speaker 7: so she's not under overall five strokes off the lead
• 13:20
  Speaker 7: at the sort of the chief, just trying to defend
• 13:22
  Speaker 7: your title in Florida. Not looking good so far. But
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: Lydia Coe, we all know can come back into it.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: And you're relentlessly optimistic, aren't you. She is allowed to
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: lose every now and then. And if you're getting getting
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: rid of career, if you're getting ready for the super Bowl,
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: which is in a week's time, for the big kiss
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: between Travis and that thing of woman. Did you see

  Speaker 3: after the semi final win. But it broke the internet.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: The biggest quarterback and the biggest America's sweetheart.
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: This is a lot about our society, it doesn't it.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: But NFL is coming to Australia.
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's remarkable news, isn't it.
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: So Melbourne looks like they've got three games least, they're
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: a little locked in starting from twenty twenty six and
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: they have the sole right to it apparently. So it's
• 14:13
  Speaker 7: not going to go to Sydney or Perth at the
• 14:15

  Speaker 3: a good old debate and I like it. The question
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: is how and you go to a barbecue, you go anywhere,

  Speaker 3: What should we do? We're going to have to do
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: something because what we've been doing over the last thirty
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: years hasn't worked. We've got three points of view over
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: the weekend. So first of all, Friday it was the
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: turn of Matthew Houghton and the Herald. He had a
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: piece called New Zealand needs this strategic approach to building wealth,
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: like Singapore's Temasek. Now, Temasek owns and manages assets that
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: are held directly by the Singapore government. They operate a
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: major bank and an insurance company, Singapore Airlines, the country's
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: main port, the Marina Bay, Sandstel, hotel, a load of
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: other things, biggest company in Singapore. It's a good idea
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: and we have actually been investigating it for decades. Even
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: Grant Robinson was interested in having a New Zealand agency
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: like Temasek here, but nothing's ever happened. So it has
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: cross party appeal. Why hasn't it happened? No one knows us.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: The politicians all talk, no action, Honestly, twenty or thirty
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: years have been talking about this. Nothing's happened anyway. Then
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: on Sunday it was the turn of Don Brash at
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: Michael Riddell, who in a shared piece said our problem
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: was low productivity. Good Lord, If I had a dollar
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: for every time someone said our problem is low productivity,
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: I'd be a very rich man. People say this all
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: the time, every single politician says that, but nobody has
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: an answer to it. They just go, what we did
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: is better productivity. Well, how do we do that? I
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: don't know, but I know we need better productivity. So
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: in their piece, Brash and Midell the only profit solution
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: that they offered in the piece was to lower company
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: tax rates to attract overseas and local investment. And they
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: sat there and claimed that we have one of the
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: highest company tax rates in the world, which is balderdash.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: We set it around twenty eight percent. Australia is at
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: thirty percent, the states in the UK are around twenty
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: six percent. Were actually slightly above medium. And no disrespect
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: to Dom Brash, you had terms as a Reserve bank
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: governor and a leader of a couple of political parties,
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: and plenty of opportunities to lift productivity, but you failed too.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: And the third piece was from Sam Stubbs, who said,
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: if we're selling public assets, let's sell them to New
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Zealanders like super funds. Well stays in New Zealand instead
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: of being exported. And I agreed with this. Stop staying productivity,
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: start saying wealth creations, start creating some wealth keeping in
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: New Zealand, find out how to make or supply stuff
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: that the world wants, and then keep the profits and
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: the workers in New Zealand. Then we start generating wealth.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: Then we recycle it to make more wealth. And that
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: is Denmark's trick. You know, you know that Denmark operates
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: the second largest container ship operation in the world. And
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: the reason why to import capital rather than to export it.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: Andrew Dickens, we got the latest news in just a
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: few moments time, and then we're around New Zealand and
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: off to Gavin Gray where Tony Blair has been calling
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: Keir Starmer names.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens on a filly edition with one roof make
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: your Property search simple, Uth talk Zippy.
• 17:51
  Speaker 8: No hold them they are cut down, down, down down.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: Obviously this is Beyonce. You she's been nominated for far
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: too many awards in today's Grammys. Sorry, I just thought
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: this was a cold hearted cash grab, and she'd anyway,
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: that's just me. This is a fun song. The Grammys
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: are today. We all have coverages. The day goes on
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: to text correspondents Andrew, you were incorrect about the business
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: tax because you're forgetting GST. No, I'm not actually a study.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: I look from an international tax organization. Actually factored in
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: all the sales taxes around the world and every other things.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: Of course, overseas you also have federal taxes and state taxes,
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: and you know local taxes rates. They have more layers
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: of tax there's all sorts of sort of taxes that
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: people are having to pay, and they factored this in.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: Don't worry. New Zealand is not a high it's not
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: the highest. It's not what Don Brash said. It's probably
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: pretty much middle. Someone writes football what an awful word.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: It's like calling Mercedes car or champagne drink. Soccer has
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: lost its identity and it's sad. Sorry you're wrong there too.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: I'm afraid. Coming from a football fan family, we've been
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: football fans for four generations. It was always football soccer
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: is an American aberration, an invention to differentiate it from
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: their American football, which they play mostly with their hand.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: Go figure that and someone writes how pathetic that z
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: be cannot in a sports commentary give credit to the
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: amazing Wellington Blaze for its six Big Bash win in
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: eight years, but you talk about AUCKLANDFC. Oh, you're obviously
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: at Auckland Team Murray from pilot. I'm sorry. Wellington Blaze
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: is amazing, six Big Bash win in eight years. I
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: hope that makes you happy, so to come in the
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: program today, we're talking about the tariffs. The tariff war
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: has started between the United States, Canada and Mexico. It's
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: a biggie a model gauging the economic impact of Trump's
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: tariff plan. This was done by Ernst Young. Suggests it
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: would reduce US growth by one point five percentage points
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: this year. Because it's the US to play the tariffs,
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: it's going to through Canada and Mexico into recession and
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: asherins stag fation. So there's a lot of risks in this.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: We're going to be talking about this with an expert
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: in geopolitical stuff just before six o'clock today. It is
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: twenty one to six.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Andrew dickens.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: His name is Jeffrey Miller. We're around the country right now,
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: to need didn't we go first? And Callum Proctor joins us. Hello,
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: Callum morning Andrew. It's a meteorite hunt in South End.
• 20:25
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's underway. Unfortunately though a cloudy night on Friday nights,
• 20:30
  Speaker 8: posing an issue for those trying to pinpoint its exact location.
• 20:34
  Speaker 8: This meteorite became a fireball and raced above Queenstown around
• 20:38
  Speaker 8: eleven o'clock on Friday night before burning out over Northern
• 20:42
  Speaker 8: South and many across the region. So they saw it
• 20:45
  Speaker 8: and heard the sonic boom. In fact, some in Australia
• 20:47
  Speaker 8: claim to have seen it as well. A fireballs are
• 20:50
  Speaker 8: so there was too much cloud cover to get specifics
• 20:52
  Speaker 8: on the location. There's just a slight chance they might
• 20:55
  Speaker 8: locate it. If they do, it would be New Zealand's
• 20:58
  Speaker 8: eleventh documented meteorite.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: Fireball altera Roll. What a great name. So how is
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: the weather today for the great meteor right hunt?
• 21:06
  Speaker 8: You're good fine today toleed in high twenty five, very
• 21:10
  Speaker 8: good to.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: Canary, We go. Claire Sherwood joins us. Now Helliclaire Hello,
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: and new charter school opens today.
• 21:16
  Speaker 9: Yes, Marstery Schools, New Zealand Adapaky opens at Hillsborough this morning.
• 21:20
  Speaker 9: This is one of three charter schools to open across
• 21:22
  Speaker 9: the country today. Actually, the role here at the Christ

  Speaker 9: Church School will start at sixty primary school age children.
• 21:28
  Speaker 9: There's another forty on the waitlist as well, all of
• 21:31
  Speaker 9: them children who struggle in mainstream schooling classrooms. Principal Rose
• 21:36
  Speaker 9: mcinernie says other schools are excited about this opportunity for students.
• 21:40
  Speaker 9: She says allowing them to come to their school for
• 21:42
  Speaker 9: a few years will help them before they return to
• 21:45
  Speaker 9: mainstream schooling. Everyone hopes anyway. Mcinernie says they do do
• 21:49
  Speaker 9: a few things differently at Marstery Schools, including some longer
• 21:52
  Speaker 9: school days. There'll also be a higher teacher and teaching
• 21:55
  Speaker 9: assistant to student ratio.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: Great stuff. How's your weather hearing this morning?
• 22:00
  Speaker 9: It will become fine. Easterly is developing a bit later

  Speaker 9: and a high of twenty four.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: And I thank you and we go to Wellington. Max Toll,
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: good morning. We missed you on Friday Friday?
• 22:09
  Speaker 10: Yes, where was I on Friday? I can't think.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: We're not They of interested anyway, you have a special
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: birthing center. What's the story about that today?
• 22:20
  Speaker 10: Yeah, the new Health Minister is asking for an urgent
• 22:23
  Speaker 10: briefing after a special care unit for sick babies that
• 22:28
  Speaker 10: was meant for Lower Hut was effectively quietly shelved. Health
• 22:32
  Speaker 10: New Zealand had announced back in twenty twenty two under
• 22:35
  Speaker 10: the previous government, of course, that it planned to repurpose
• 22:39
  Speaker 10: of the former our Kaivangi a birthing center in Lower
• 22:42
  Speaker 10: Hut into this into a new unit for sick babies
• 22:45
  Speaker 10: and young children that was supposed to have opened by
• 22:48
  Speaker 10: mid last year. A Labour's Hut based MP Ginny Anderson
• 22:52
  Speaker 10: has been asking questions for several months, parliamentary questions. She's
• 22:55
  Speaker 10: told our newsroom she now understands that it has been canceled,
• 23:00
  Speaker 10: which she says as a broken promise to the community.
• 23:02
  Speaker 10: Simeon Brown says he's looking into it getting updated, but
• 23:06
  Speaker 10: it doesn't look good for this designated special unit.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: Okay, and how's your weather.
• 23:11
  Speaker 10: She'll be fine today. Northerly's getting up to twenty two central.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Max and Neva Lettiman who was in Orkandalla.
• 23:17
  Speaker 11: Neva, good morning, you paid me a compliment, de sing
• 23:20
  Speaker 11: you couldn't see or hear me when I first walked
• 23:22
  Speaker 11: into the studio. Normally I'm like a bull in a
• 23:24
  Speaker 11: china shop. He every other host goes, oh my goodness,
• 23:27
  Speaker 11: you're so loud.
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well look at you. Well you've come back to
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: type now, haven't you. So we've got a couple of
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: custody officers who are attacked.
• 23:35
  Speaker 11: Yes, now, look, what's happened to you? Is that the
• 23:37
  Speaker 11: two officers they are now apparently recovering from facial injuries. Now,
• 23:41
  Speaker 11: an attack last week happened and this was at Auckland
• 23:44
  Speaker 11: District Court if you missed that. So the two they
• 23:46
  Speaker 11: were escorting a thirty one year old man. This is
• 23:48
  Speaker 11: from the courtroom back to custody. It happened around three
• 23:51
  Speaker 11: point fifteen pm on Tuesday afternoon. Now we do know
• 23:54
  Speaker 11: that one office is suffered a frenchiir jaw, the other
• 23:57
  Speaker 11: was knocked out and apparently other stuff. They had to
• 24:00
  Speaker 11: rush through several locked gates to restrain the man. So
• 24:03
  Speaker 11: police believe that this attack was unprovoked. A colleague of
• 24:07
  Speaker 11: the officers say, look, also, there's been growing agitation in
• 24:10
  Speaker 11: the sales due to overcrowding, and he says that you know,
• 24:13
  Speaker 11: lots of people there have been in custody since Friday,
• 24:15
  Speaker 11: the previous week, and this is due to delays over
• 24:18
  Speaker 11: the long weekend. And as you can imagine with the
• 24:20
  Speaker 11: white Tangye coming up this weekend, so those you know,
• 24:22
  Speaker 11: more public holidays and Raley this.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: Week as a wreck because the holiday is on Thursday,
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: and then people take the bridge. That's right, except me.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: I'm going to be doing Mike's breakfast show for him
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: because he's taking the bridge because he's already exhausted after
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: it's two much holiday anyway, and I'm going to.
• 24:37
  Speaker 11: Be here because I'm on minus ten and your leave days,
• 24:41
  Speaker 11: so I'm going to be annoying you.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: But a Thursday white tangy day, that's good. Thursday white
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: tangy Day just gets in the wave of all sorts
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: of productivity and kids at school and all sorts cool.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: How's hawks were there?
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 24:51
  Speaker 11: Partly cloudy, a few morning showers, but get this hot
• 24:54
  Speaker 11: and humid in Auckland was hot in humid yesterday? Twenty
• 24:57
  Speaker 11: seven is the high here?
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: Can it is? Seventeen minutes to six. We're talking tariffs
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: before sex with Jeffrey Miller. Here's another one. National Foreign
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: Trade Council President Jake Colvin says Trump's move threatens to
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: raise the cost of everything from avocados to automobiles across
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: basically the whole world, and urge the US, Canada, and
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: Mexico to find a quick solution to avoid escalation. Can
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: I tell you about automobile parts? Canada makes some, Mexico
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: makes some, and then of course America builds the cars.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: But then sometimes when they're halfway through building the cars,
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: to send the cars to Canada or to Mexico to
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: do a little bit more and then back again. Can
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: you imagine how much tariff's is going to go on
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: that vehicle by the time you finally get to market.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: I wonder if Americans realize this. But we'll talk about
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: the implications with Jeffrey Miller just before six here on
• 25:46

  Speaker 1: International correspondence with Enzi Eye Insurance Peace of Mind for
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: New Zealand business to the UK.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: We Go in The big news is that Sterling Mosses
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: race car has sold for the highest ever amount it
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: has ever been paid for a Grand Prix car. It
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: is a Here we Go. It's a silver W one
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: nine six Arstroum Liniar Avagen, one of only four complete examples.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: Sterling Moss used to race in the whole thing, and
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: it's sold for fifty one point one to five euros
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: million euros should they say fifty one point one five
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: million euros?
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: That's one hundred million. That's one hundred and two million
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: dollars for one race car. And the amazing thing is
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: Sterling Moss still alive. I've checked them. He's he's ninety
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: years old today at this moment. The costest car you
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: ever sold, by the way, if you're interested, was a
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: nineteen fifty five Mercedes three hundred sl Uhlenhut coupe that
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: change hands for wait for this, one hundred and thirty
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: five million euros in May of twenty twenty two. That's
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: two hundred and seventy million bucks for a car. And
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: the most expensive Grand Prix before this sold at auction
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: was a Fangio Mercedes W one nine six from nineteen
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: fifty four nine point six million US, which is what
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: fifty of a million dollars, and that was back in
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: twenty thirteen. So many expensive cars, that's for sure. It's
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: eleven to six. So, as promised, President Donald Trump has
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: slapped tariffs on goods coming from Canada, Mexico and China
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: twenty five percent on imports from Canada and Mexico, China's
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: getting ten percent. All three countries plan a counter attack.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: Canada has already done that, albeit reluctantly. And so to
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: talk about this, I am joined by geopolitical analyst Jeffrey Miller.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: Hello Jeffrey, Good morning, Andrew.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: It's all on it's trade wars.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: It is indeed, this is the beginning of a new
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: trade war, and it's just not going to be good
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: for a country like New Zealand. There's an old African
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: proverb that says, when the elephants fight, the grass gets trampled.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: I think that's applicable yet very good.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: We'll talk about that more in a moment. But it's
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: going to affect America as well. There's an analysis by
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: Ernest Young that suggests it will reduce UK growth growth
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: should I say, by one point five percentage points this year,
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: which you don't want. Canada and Mexico will be thrown
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: into recession and there will be stagflation in all three countries.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: Do you think Americans and Donald Trump truly understand the
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: economic consequences.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: No, I think we're in uncharted territory here. I don't
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: think we've been here really since the Great Depression. In
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: many ways, there are similar action taken back in nineteen
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: thirty ironically, and it does have his does seem familiar
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: in a sense from that time because the tariffs that
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump placed on during his first term we're lower
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: in nature. The tariff that he's promising now are about
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: three times the level. They're much broader based. There aren't
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: really the exceptions except for Canadian energy, which we'll get
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: a ten percent Tariffrutherland twenty five percent. But the tariffs
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: on China's pretty much on everything. Ten percent on all
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Chinese goods and twenty five percent or goods from coming
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: from Mexico. So it's a big play from Donald Trump,
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: and the markets don't like it. We're expecting tumbles in
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: the markets when they open on Monday, anywhere between half
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: and one percent. It could be more on the days
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: to come, and that might be the only thing that
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: possibly changes Donald Trump's mind.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: Justin Trudeau has laid out retaliatory tariffs and made it
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: very clear he's done so reluctantly. Mexico says they will follow.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: So apparently America has retaliatory tariffs already I regulated for
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: so if you do that, it happens as fighting tariff
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: with tariff's a good move.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: Well, he's fighting fire with fire and not backing down.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: I guess it's a game of brinksmanship here, and Justin
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Trudeau will be betting on some kind of resolution, a
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: deal being done. Of course, Donald Trump loves the deal,
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: and he'll be hoping for much the same thing, because
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: in the end, this is being used as a powerplay.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: It's being used that Donald Trump is putting these tariff
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: in place under emergency legislation dating back to nineteen seventy seven,
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: which is why he's got these reasons of sentinel and
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: illegal immigration as the reasons, because he needs a rationale
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: for doing this, and he's looking for concessions much in
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: the way that he got concessions from Columbia. Columbia had
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: to agree to take in those deportation flights, and he'll
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: be looking for similar kinds of concessions from Mexico and
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: Canada and getting the United States, as he would see it,
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: a better deal.
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: So, look, what kind of message is this sending to
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: the world. Canada is a close ally of America. Look
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: at justin Trudeau's speech, he evoked all the fighting on
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: the beaches and the wars and everything. You know, we
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: are a close friend, and yet they still have not
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: been spared. So does New Zealand need to be wary here?
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Indeed, look the lesson here is that no one is immune.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: If Donald Trump is willing to place tariffs on Canada,
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: he's also threatening to place tariffs on the EU, then
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: New Zealand. I don't think he's got any real protection.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: New Zealand isn't a formal US allies, a bit more
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: distance than the likes of Canada and Australia the UK,
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: so I don't think New Zealom would have any great immunity.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: New Zealand exports sixteen billion New Zealand dollars worth of
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: goods and services to the US every year, even while
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: there are restrictions on what we export, and New Zealand's
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: still the exports two and a half billion dollars worth
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: of beef and other meta exports to the US every
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: year despite the being restrictions on it. I mean just
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: that alone, the meatia exports that New Zealand sends to
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: the US every year, that alone is about the entirety
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: or even slightly more than what we export to the
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: golf region every year. And we just signed that new
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: free trade agreement. Always conclude a negastations on that the
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: end of last year.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: Take you into account that we need to be wary.
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: The question and should we speak out about what's actually
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: happening in the world right now? Would that be dangerous?
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: Well, that's a good question. Do you want to poke
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: your head up above the parapet and speak out? All
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: that just leads you to being clobbed. I think we're
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: going to be in Donald Trump's site anyway. As I say,
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: if Canada and the EU are then New Zealand can't
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: be far away because we've got even less protection less
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: to offer, we're much smaller. I think probably the answer
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: at the moment is to keep our heads down and
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: work the diplomatic channel. So I think Winston Peter's the
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Foreign Minister, Tom McLay the Trade minister, should be working
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: the phones with their counterparts and trying to get sency
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: to prevail here because in the end, everyone's going to
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: be the loser with a trade war.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: That's true. Thank you so much, Jeffrey Miller.
