- 0:52Speaker 2: at seven after five.
- 0:54Speaker 1: The agenda.
- 0:55Speaker 2: So it's Monday, the twenty third of February and the
- 0:58Speaker 2: Secret Service at America says has been shot and killed
- 1:01Speaker 2: after entering the secure perimeter of Trump's Mona Lago residents.
- 1:05Speaker 2: Officers say the suspect was a white male carrying a
- 1:08Speaker 2: shotgun and a fuel can. When he was stopped at
- 1:11Speaker 2: one of the gates.
- 1:13Speaker 3: He was ordered to drop those two pieces of equipment
- 1:16Speaker 3: that he had with them, at which time he put
- 1:18Speaker 3: down the gas can raised the shotgun to a shooting position.
- 1:23Speaker 3: At that point in time, the deputy of the two
- 1:25Speaker 3: Secret Service agents fired their weapons and neutralized the threat.
- 1:30Speaker 3: He is deceased at the scene.
- 1:32Speaker 2: Meanwhile, as we all know, the tariff war continues, fifteen
- 1:35Speaker 2: percent global tariffs still to come. Donald Trump has lashed
- 1:38Speaker 2: out at the judges after that Supreme Court decision.
- 1:40Speaker 4: I'm ashamed of certain members of the court, Absolutely ashamed
- 1:45Speaker 4: for not having the courage to do what's right for
- 1:48Speaker 4: our country. They're just being fools and lapdogs for the
- 1:51Speaker 4: Rhinos and the radical left Democrats.
- 1:54Speaker 2: Now two f seen him. According to new emails released
- 1:57Speaker 2: by the US Department of Justice, Metropolitan Police officers were
- 2:00Speaker 2: instructed to provide security for a dinner party at Jeffrey
- 2:04Speaker 2: Epstein's New York home because it was attended by Andrew
- 2:08Speaker 2: Mountbatten Windsor.
- 2:09Speaker 5: The matt said, looking at what happened, they had not
- 2:12Speaker 5: at this stage identified any wrongdoing. But these emails certainly
- 2:16Speaker 5: appear to show once again the closeness between Andrew and
- 2:20Speaker 5: Epstein and the potential involvement of security staff.
- 2:24Speaker 2: Meanwhile, Andrew's in trouble as well. Apparently he might have
- 2:26Speaker 2: used RAF planes to go and see Jeffrey Epstein. Gavin
- 2:29Speaker 2: Gray will have more on this later in the show.
- 2:31Speaker 2: It is nine after.
- 2:32Speaker 1: Five on your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition
- 2:37Speaker 1: with Andrew Dickens and one roof Love where you Live
- 2:41Speaker 1: News talks had been.
- 2:43Speaker 2: So I'd like to congratulate the US Supreme Court and
- 2:46Speaker 2: their efforts in making America great again. Now that might
- 2:50Speaker 2: fly in the face of Donald Trump supporters around the
- 2:52Speaker 2: world who feel that the president's attempts to make America
- 2:54Speaker 2: great again and being stymied by that decision, but I
- 2:57Speaker 2: think it shows how many people have forgotten exactly what
- 3:00Speaker 2: America is and how it became great in the first place.
- 3:03Speaker 2: The most powerful instrument in the United States of America
- 3:06Speaker 2: is not the office of the President. It's not Donald Trump,
- 3:09Speaker 2: it's not the Senate, and it's not Congress. It is
- 3:12Speaker 2: the Constitution, the set of rules and laws and ideals
- 3:17Speaker 2: that have been developed over two hundred and fifty years
- 3:19Speaker 2: to be the nation's guiding light. And the president's first
- 3:23Speaker 2: job is to defend that Constitution, and by defending it,
- 3:26Speaker 2: defend the people of America. The primacy of the Constitution
- 3:31Speaker 2: was developed because of the experience of the young America
- 3:34Speaker 2: under the autocracy and will of one man, the King
- 3:37Speaker 2: of England, and America swore never again to be under
- 3:40Speaker 2: the yoke of one man, something that doesn't seem to
- 3:43Speaker 2: resonate with many Americans who now hanker for a strong
- 3:46Speaker 2: man like Trump or many other contemporary dictators. Now, none
- 3:50Speaker 2: of this is to say that Donald Trump can't do
- 3:52Speaker 2: what he wants to do, but he must do it
- 3:55Speaker 2: while respecting the Constitution, which is a thing he seems
- 3:58Speaker 2: to disrespect, and in doing so, he disrespects the very
- 4:02Speaker 2: heart and soul of America. Ryan Bridge Andrew Dickens. Actually
- 4:07Speaker 2: Ryan's just taking the day off. He's back again tomorrow,
- 4:10Speaker 2: so we'll talk more about these US tariffs. They're still
- 4:13Speaker 2: on there. They're still coming in at around about fifteen percent. Well,
- 4:16Speaker 2: that's what Trump wants to do. Can he do this?
- 4:18Speaker 2: We'll talk to a tax expert out of America on this. Next,
- 4:21Speaker 2: it's the early edition on News Talks at B It's
- 4:23Speaker 2: ten after five.
- 4:27Speaker 1: Views and Views you Trust to start your day. It's
- 4:30Speaker 1: early edition with Andrew Dickens and One Route Love where
- 4:34Speaker 1: you Live. News Talks at B.
- 4:36Speaker 2: It's thirteen minutes after five. So the tariff tantrum from
- 4:39Speaker 2: Trump over the weekend, after the US Supreme Court ruled
- 4:42Speaker 2: his existing tariffs are illegal, he said he'd replaced them
- 4:46Speaker 2: with a ten percent in port levy.
- 4:48Speaker 4: All of those tariffs remain, They all remain. We're still
- 4:51Speaker 4: getting them and we will after the decision. This is
- 4:55Speaker 4: nobody left to appeal to.
- 4:57Speaker 2: Then, yesterday he upped the anti announcing a new fifteen
- 4:59Speaker 2: percent global baseline using a very rarely used trade law.
- 5:03Speaker 2: So to discuss this, I'm joined by Alex Durante.
- 5:05Speaker 6: Now.
- 5:05Speaker 2: Alex is a federal tax economist at the Tax Foundation
- 5:08Speaker 2: out of New Jersey and joins me. Now, Alex, good
- 5:10Speaker 2: morning to you, Alex, good morning to you. I'm having
- 5:20Speaker 2: a few difficulties getting in touch with Alex at this moment. Alex,
- 5:23Speaker 2: are you there. We'll try this one more time, Alex,
- 5:30Speaker 2: are you there mate?
- 5:34Speaker 7: All right?
- 5:35Speaker 2: So the global tariffs of fifteen percent means means that,
- 5:39Speaker 2: of course some countries are going to find themselves in
- 5:42Speaker 2: a worse position that they used to be in than before,
- 5:45Speaker 2: which is possibly unfortunate, and some people are saying, well,
- 5:48Speaker 2: the unfortunate thing about that was that some people jumped
- 5:51Speaker 2: in to renegotiate their tariffs thinking they got themselves at
- 5:53Speaker 2: a lower rate, but unfortunately they did not. Here in
- 5:57Speaker 2: New Zealand, we're on a fifteen percent, so it's it's
- 6:00Speaker 2: going to stay relatively the same. But the question actually
- 6:02Speaker 2: for everybody is just the amount of turmoil. And the
- 6:05Speaker 2: other big question is Donald Trump has come straight back
- 6:07Speaker 2: with the terrifi idea immediately. He's used a new law
- 6:11Speaker 2: to do this. The question will be will that new
- 6:14Speaker 2: law work? Alex Choranti, good morning to you. No, the
- 6:19Speaker 2: phone unit really is not working, which is going to
- 6:21Speaker 2: make for a very awkward or very awkward program all
- 6:25Speaker 2: night long. So we'll leave that story and move on. Now. Hey,
- 6:29Speaker 2: I've got a little bit of a public service announcement
- 6:31Speaker 2: for you about driveways and parking in Auckland. The authorities
- 6:38Speaker 2: have said that many people don't understand what a driveway is.
- 6:41Speaker 8: Now.
- 6:41Speaker 2: This was because a man popped home and he parked
- 6:43Speaker 2: on what he thought was his driveway. Problem was, it wasn't.
- 6:47Speaker 2: It was the bit of the driveway that covers the
- 6:48Speaker 2: public land, that bit over the footpath and the boom
- 6:51Speaker 2: that gets the car from the driveway to the road.
- 6:54Speaker 2: So this man got a seventy dollar ticket and he
- 6:57Speaker 2: complained about it, obviously and said, well, what's happening here.
- 7:00Speaker 2: The only driveway it appears that you can park on
- 7:03Speaker 2: is the bit inside your private land. And at warns
- 7:07Speaker 2: that even if you have two wheels sticking out, that's
- 7:09Speaker 2: still an offence because it gets in the way of pedestrians.
- 7:12Speaker 2: They're very concerned about people, of course, of wheelchairs as well,
- 7:15Speaker 2: So be warned that bit of your driveway that you
- 7:18Speaker 2: think is your driveway that you might park and when
- 7:21Speaker 2: you just want to pop home, very briefly, is not
- 7:23Speaker 2: actually your driveway. So if you do go and park
- 7:26Speaker 2: on that, you park on that under your own peril.
- 7:29Speaker 2: And I say this, it's an awkward story obviously, but
- 7:32Speaker 2: the rules are the same right across the country. You
- 7:34Speaker 2: cannot park on the bit of the driveway that goes
- 7:37Speaker 2: from your house to the public road because you don't
- 7:40Speaker 2: own that. The council owns that. But at the same time,
- 7:43Speaker 2: why do you mow it if you don't know it? Hey,
- 7:46Speaker 2: it is sixteen minutes out to five is Sews talks.
- 7:48Speaker 2: He'd be big weekend in sport, very big weekend. The
- 7:53Speaker 2: Crusaders got hammered by the Brumbies at home in one
- 7:58Speaker 2: of the very last games Polo Stadium, and of course
- 8:02Speaker 2: we've had the big Derby between ORCANDEFC and the Wellington
- 8:04Speaker 2: Phoenix which Aukard won five nil and then Chiefy Gean
- 8:08Speaker 2: Carlo Italiano promptly quit. So we'll talk all about this
- 8:11Speaker 2: and more next with Andrew Ordison here on News Talks
- 8:13Speaker 2: at B.
- 8:14Speaker 1: The News you Need this morning and the in depth
- 8:17Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Andrew Dickens and One Route Love
- 8:21Speaker 1: Where you Live. News Talks at B.
- 8:24Speaker 2: Andrew Ordison joins the Neck Moorning Here Andrew. Greeting crew
- 8:26Speaker 2: and the first word you said was a bit of
- 8:28Speaker 2: a shocker when we were talking about the Canterbury Crusaders
- 8:30Speaker 2: now lost two from two, go on to face the
- 8:32Speaker 2: Chiefs who are looking good but boy that that lost
- 8:35Speaker 2: to the Brumbies was massive.
- 8:37Speaker 7: Well, first time twenty six.
- 8:38Speaker 9: Years at home and yeah, just mercurial the Crusaders mean
- 8:42Speaker 9: obviously title defense, et cetera. But yeah, looking shapeless, a little
- 8:47Speaker 9: bit reagged at the moment, Yeah, a little bit rusty.
- 8:50Speaker 2: Meanwhile the derby and I actually sat down and watched
- 8:52Speaker 2: ork and FC versus Wellington Phoenix again. It was a
- 8:55Speaker 2: lovely thing. Saturday, four o'clock in the afternoon, turn on
- 8:58Speaker 2: good time, expecting something and Jay some Paine can I say,
- 9:01Speaker 2: was on fire and he was doing some amazing stuff
- 9:03Speaker 2: when I know anyway, and then that shock and goal
- 9:07Speaker 2: owned goal by the goalie that was brutal, seventy three
- 9:10Speaker 2: meter kick and then he goes and heads it into
- 9:12Speaker 2: his own goal five mill and then gian Carlo Italiano
- 9:15Speaker 2: chief he quits, I.
- 9:16Speaker 9: Know, I know, and this is well, he's done what
- 9:19Speaker 9: I suppose some would considered the honorable thing is that
- 9:21Speaker 9: you lose five nil on the Thecael daiy what's that?
- 9:24Speaker 2: Six and six?
- 9:24Speaker 9: Now that they've lost to aucklandleaf C and it's just
- 9:28Speaker 9: been struggling in that regard. So hoping yourself with something
- 9:30Speaker 9: from the rest of the season. But she and Carlo
- 9:33Speaker 9: Taliano is gone. I mean that's that. That own goal
- 9:38Speaker 9: with the that was Oh that was awkward.
- 9:40Speaker 2: And he was shot for the rest of the game. Yeah,
- 9:42Speaker 2: he just lost it from that, Mamada. And I don't
- 9:44Speaker 2: blame him. He'd just been brought back after after having
- 9:47Speaker 2: some shockers earlier, so he must be going, mom, I'm
- 9:50Speaker 2: not sure this is the career for me. The brutal
- 9:53Speaker 2: nature of a professional sport.
- 9:54Speaker 7: Andrew.
- 9:55Speaker 2: Now we've got some golf happening with India Cohen, Ryan FOXX.
- 9:58Speaker 9: We have SOLIDI cost for this fifth in Thailand and
- 10:01Speaker 9: your tie for fifth, so credible finishy for her, but
- 10:04Speaker 9: also Ryan Fox coming into his event at the La
- 10:07Speaker 9: Country Club later this morning. He teas off at tweet
- 10:10Speaker 9: eight but currently in ninth spot. I think he's eight
- 10:13Speaker 9: under the car. But eleven strokes off the lead all.
- 10:15Speaker 2: Right, and the winter around the picture over and so
- 10:18Speaker 2: they were magnificent and they were beautiful.
- 10:20Speaker 9: Great watch, good times though for us, I thought to
- 10:22Speaker 9: watch into the evening et cetera. Probably too late into
- 10:25Speaker 9: the evening from my perspective, but I couldn't take my
- 10:29Speaker 9: eyes off at times It's a circus sect in moments,
- 10:31Speaker 9: isn't it.
- 10:31Speaker 7: But with all the various things, I just just.
- 10:34Speaker 9: Can't imagine even being able to do with a pair
- 10:36Speaker 9: of skis on in or snowboard. But just just magical
- 10:41Speaker 9: to watch at times. And they said it didn't seem
- 10:42Speaker 9: to have any disruptions to any great extent, And it
- 10:45Speaker 9: was except for.
- 10:46Speaker 2: The snuff bun, except for the snow. And how nice
- 10:49Speaker 2: that was disrupted by snow as opposed to the past's none.
- 10:53Speaker 2: In China, there was no snow. China was all artificial snow.
- 10:56Speaker 2: This is real snow falling out of a real It
- 10:58Speaker 2: was awesome.
- 10:59Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that.
- 11:00Speaker 2: I actually The New York Times has a little tool
- 11:03Speaker 2: where you can actually adjust the medal table according to
- 11:05Speaker 2: all sorts of things, like if you're a country under ten.
- 11:08Speaker 7: Have you done it per capita? For New Zealand, I
- 11:11Speaker 7: have done.
- 11:11Speaker 2: It per capita. We're not even in the top ten,
- 11:13Speaker 2: is that right? That's right because we only got we've
- 11:15Speaker 2: got two silvers and got a bronze and.
- 11:17Speaker 9: You've out of the gold in the It's it's tricky,
- 11:18Speaker 9: but that's a really it's still a tremendous performance and
- 11:21Speaker 9: we sort of take it for granted. Now they will
- 11:22Speaker 9: get middle a medal or meddles in Winter Games, whereas
- 11:26Speaker 9: and Alisa Coburger for so long was just the was
- 11:28Speaker 9: flying the flag. Did you see there was a Norwegian
- 11:31Speaker 9: fellow who does the cross country skiing, Clibo Clibo who
- 11:34Speaker 9: won six gold credible. He is so dominant just the
- 11:40Speaker 9: demands of cross country skiing as well as that's brutal.
- 11:43Speaker 9: So yeah, great work from him. I think it's got
- 11:46Speaker 9: the most overall as well. Leven or something in the
- 11:48Speaker 9: Winter Olympics history. So ever tried it a cross country skiing.
- 11:52Speaker 9: I've done a favorit of cross country ski but not
- 11:53Speaker 9: technically very good.
- 11:55Speaker 7: I've just done.
- 11:58Speaker 2: Okay, now I've actually tried it. It is most exhausting
- 12:00Speaker 2: thing you've ever done.
- 12:02Speaker 7: And mister Helen Clark used to do it.
- 12:04Speaker 2: One day, I went to the snow farm in Cardrona
- 12:07Speaker 2: to try cross country skiing. Who was there but Prime
- 12:10Speaker 2: Minister Helen Clark and she was scooting over the snow
- 12:13Speaker 2: like like she had a motor on.
- 12:15Speaker 7: Wow. Wow, that's the things you learned.
- 12:18Speaker 2: And Orderson, I thank you. It is now five twenty three.
- 12:20Speaker 7: It's nice.
- 12:22Speaker 1: The early edition Full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by Newstalk.
- 12:26Speaker 2: ZB News Talk ZIBB. It is now five twenty five.
- 12:31Speaker 2: I'm Andrew Dickinson for Ryan just for a day. He's
- 12:33Speaker 2: back tomorrow now. If you ask me whether I were
- 12:37Speaker 2: back Defense Force professionals over politicians on defense protocols and
- 12:42Speaker 2: the way they train their people, I backed the Defense
- 12:45Speaker 2: Force professionals every single time. You may have heard over
- 12:48Speaker 2: the weekend that act in New Zealand. First, that's Winston
- 12:50Speaker 2: and David have asked questions of the Defense Minister Judith
- 12:53Speaker 2: Collins on the amount of Malori culture, law and language
- 12:58Speaker 2: which is part of the Defense Force preparation for combat.
- 13:01Speaker 7: They don't like it.
- 13:01Speaker 2: They say this too much. Now, this is not a
- 13:03Speaker 2: new complaint. There's always been a few people who have
- 13:05Speaker 2: had questions about all the karakir and all the harker
- 13:08Speaker 2: comes up from time to time, and some see this
- 13:10Speaker 2: as against the old God, King and country ideal. But
- 13:13Speaker 2: the Defense Force has always used mari takanger to build cohesiveness.
- 13:18Speaker 2: They use the hakka to bring the forces together. It's
- 13:21Speaker 2: a war dards after all, and they're in the business
- 13:23Speaker 2: of war. They use karakia and Popy and other teakanger
- 13:26Speaker 2: marii a lot, because a lot of Maori serve in
- 13:29Speaker 2: the Defense Forces proportionately more than any other segment of
- 13:31Speaker 2: the population. It's part of the Defense Forces organizational identity
- 13:36Speaker 2: because the culture is unique to New Zealand and therefore
- 13:39Speaker 2: beneficial and bonding the team. And when you serve in
- 13:42Speaker 2: a multinational military overseas, this differentiates us from all the
- 13:46Speaker 2: other grunts who have the guns. We're New Zealand soldiers
- 13:49Speaker 2: and we're a little bit different. The question is whether
- 13:52Speaker 2: all this multicultural woke stuff detracts from making us fighting fit. Well,
- 13:57Speaker 2: I'd like to see David Seymour say that to a
- 13:59Speaker 2: Maria say yes, officer. They will say they're fighting fit.
- 14:03Speaker 2: And look, we've had race based military before the Maori
- 14:07Speaker 2: Battalion and they made us proud and the world took notice.
- 14:10Speaker 2: The military has always embraced Maori culture because they see
- 14:14Speaker 2: it as a strength and not a weakness. And it's
- 14:17Speaker 2: only performative politicians in their shiny suits in election year
- 14:21Speaker 2: that sees Maori culture in the Defense Force as a
- 14:24Speaker 2: problem and a possible vote winner. And I mean ask
- 14:27Speaker 2: any of the one hundred and fifty thousand people who
- 14:29Speaker 2: went to the Edinburgh Military tattoo over the weekend. As
- 14:31Speaker 2: they will tell you that Mali stuff is well liked
- 14:34Speaker 2: and is respected, and looking at my social media feed,
- 14:38Speaker 2: I can tell you that a lot of people, former
- 14:40Speaker 2: Defense force people are a little bit angry at this one,
- 14:43Speaker 2: said the five twenty seven. The other big story, of
- 14:47Speaker 2: course is that Paul Goldsmith is to introduce legislation enabling
- 14:50Speaker 2: police to move on the homeless, the beggars and the
- 14:52Speaker 2: rough sleepers on our city streets. Basically it makes an
- 14:55Speaker 2: offense to be down on your luck. Well, we're going
- 15:00Speaker 2: to talk to Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith about this just
- 15:03Speaker 2: before six o'clock today. The left, of course are saying
- 15:07Speaker 2: it now makes it an offense to be homeless in itself.
- 15:12Speaker 2: A lot of people are saying, well, this is not empathetic.
- 15:15Speaker 2: But at the same time, all the people who run
- 15:16Speaker 2: businesses in our CBDs, not just in Auckland. There's a
- 15:19Speaker 2: homeless problem in Marsington, there's a homeless problem in Parmerson North,
- 15:23Speaker 2: they are welcoming this whole new move. So will it
- 15:27Speaker 2: work or is it just you know, performative there's that
- 15:31Speaker 2: word again. Are they just doing something because they feel
- 15:34Speaker 2: they need to be seen to be doing something. We'll
- 15:37Speaker 2: talk to Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith about this very shortly,
- 15:40Speaker 2: just before six o'clock today. By the way, there's a
- 15:43Speaker 2: two thousand dollars fight if you don't move on. These
- 15:45Speaker 2: guys are homeless, they don't have two grand and if
- 15:47Speaker 2: they can't pay that, there's a possibility of three months
- 15:50Speaker 2: in prison. But in prison they will actually get a
- 15:53Speaker 2: bed and a feed and they will feel secure. So
- 15:57Speaker 2: you know, is this really a problem. Very briefly sad news.
- 16:01Speaker 2: Over the weekend, McSteamy passed away the actor Eric Dane.
- 16:04Speaker 2: He was only fifty three years old.
- 16:06Speaker 6: Do you ever go out with coworkers?
- 16:08Speaker 2: I make it a rule not too And I am
- 16:12Speaker 2: so glad that I don't work here.
- 16:14Speaker 10: Are you hitting on there in the hospital?
- 16:17Speaker 6: Would that be wrong?
- 16:19Speaker 2: So McSteamy was in Gray's anatomy. He was the doctor
- 16:23Speaker 2: who just looked great. And he died at only fifty
- 16:26Speaker 2: three and his name was Eric Dane and his girlfriend
- 16:29Speaker 2: Janelle took to Instagram to share a collection of photographs
- 16:31Speaker 2: on their time together. Because of course he's broken hearted.
- 16:35Speaker 7: He died.
- 16:36Speaker 2: He had a ten month battle with a form of
- 16:38Speaker 2: scrhosis which took him away at only fifty three years old.
- 16:43Speaker 2: So you know, very great tragedy, very great tragedy for
- 16:47Speaker 2: all the fans of Grey's anatomy. Gavin Gray, by the way,
- 16:50Speaker 2: on the way, we'll look at the UK, We'll look
- 16:52Speaker 2: at all the problems surrounding Andrew mount Batten Windsor. As
- 16:54Speaker 2: I mentioned, he's in trouble for possibly bringing in the
- 16:57Speaker 2: RAF to fly him to a meeting with Jeffrey Epstein. Meanwhile,
- 17:01Speaker 2: he also used the British police to secure Jeffrey Epstein
- 17:04Speaker 2: when he was in England, and they're starting to ask
- 17:07Speaker 2: questions there. The thing about Andrew mount Batten Windsor is
- 17:10Speaker 2: that the longer it goes on, the deeper he gets
- 17:13Speaker 2: into it. So Gavin Gray on the way, reporters from
- 17:16Speaker 2: Mind around in New Zealand. This is early edition. I'm
- 17:18Speaker 2: Andrew Dickens.
- 17:24Speaker 10: I'm perfect.
- 17:41Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day, Early
- 17:43Speaker 1: Edition with Andrew Dickens and one roof love where you
- 17:47Speaker 1: live news talks that'd be.
- 17:51Speaker 11: Tell me all the.
- 17:52Speaker 2: Ways you'll kid me on my headphone, Katri Oracle, good by,
- 17:59Speaker 2: Jim con to it Monday I'm Andrew Dickinson Forwayan who
- 18:02Speaker 2: he is about tomorrow? You can text me ninety two
- 18:05Speaker 2: ninety two small charge applies. A few people are saying
- 18:07Speaker 2: I didn't tell the full story about the Defense Force
- 18:09Speaker 2: and the Tea Hunger because they wanted to point out
- 18:12Speaker 2: that Judith Collins is not critical of the Tea Hunger,
- 18:15Speaker 2: and this is true. Wins Peters and David Seymour on
- 18:17Speaker 2: behalf of New Zealand Ferston Active had some concerns of
- 18:20Speaker 2: taking them to the Justice Minister, Sorry, the Defense Minister,
- 18:24Speaker 2: Judith Collins, and she said to the defense people, now
- 18:27Speaker 2: just tie home for a moment and we'll have a
- 18:28Speaker 2: talk about this because my coalition partners are not happy.
- 18:31Speaker 2: So that's true as well other people saying regarding Mary
- 18:34Speaker 2: Teacunger in the Defense Force, the issue is not about
- 18:37Speaker 2: the Teacunger itself. It's about the promotion being dependent and
- 18:40Speaker 2: mandatory on your ability to speak a bit of trio
- 18:43Speaker 2: and to perform some wyater, and my text believes that
- 18:46Speaker 2: many Keywis would consider that to be unfair. Isn't it
- 18:49Speaker 2: unfair to learn that skill and to have to learn
- 18:51Speaker 2: that skill to be part of the Defense force. You
- 18:53Speaker 2: can text me ninety two ninety two. Now time for
- 18:56Speaker 2: some good stuff to hear about John o'riddler I love.
- 19:00Speaker 2: He's the man who is swimming from North Cape to Wellington.
- 19:03Speaker 2: This will be the world record for longest unassistant stage swim.
- 19:08Speaker 2: John o has now completed over half the total distance.
- 19:12Speaker 2: He's been swimming for two hundred and fifty odd hours.
- 19:16Speaker 2: He has now swum seven hundred and seventy six kilometers.
- 19:19Speaker 2: Just imagine that, and he's got six hundred and eleven
- 19:24Speaker 2: kilometers to go. Looking at the satellite picture, he's just
- 19:27Speaker 2: past the tip of East Cape. He's gone around the
- 19:29Speaker 2: corner and he's coming down the other side. He's a
- 19:32Speaker 2: month into his world record attempt. He is open water
- 19:36Speaker 2: swimming down that East coast because he wants to raise
- 19:39Speaker 2: awareness for a healthy ocean and to make a call
- 19:42Speaker 2: for an end to bottom trawling, and of course to
- 19:44Speaker 2: do it because it's there to be done. If you
- 19:47Speaker 2: want to follow the swim, and I follow it almost
- 19:48Speaker 2: every day because I just think it's one of the
- 19:50Speaker 2: most astounding and amazing things for someone to be doing.
- 19:54Speaker 2: You can go to the website. It's Swim for the
- 19:57Speaker 2: Ocean the four is actually the new Marror swim Fortheocean
- 20:01Speaker 2: dot org and you can follow him. You can look
- 20:03Speaker 2: at him on the satellite. Well done, John O. Twenty
- 20:05Speaker 2: one to six, zad bee around the country. We go
- 20:09Speaker 2: into Otago. Callum Proctor, Good morning to you morning, Andrew.
- 20:13Speaker 2: So we've got a couple who have been sentenced because
- 20:15Speaker 2: they've been involved in a crayfish smuggling operation.
- 20:19Speaker 3: Here.
- 20:19Speaker 2: This is a cs of I E.
- 20:21Speaker 10: Layle Faravuanga and her husband Launce Della Cruz. They received
- 20:25Speaker 10: eight hundred and fifty live craze back in twenty twenty four.
- 20:29Speaker 10: They were flown to them from Dunedin. This theft began
- 20:32Speaker 10: at the Fieldland Lobster Company in Sawyer's Bay here, where
- 20:37Speaker 10: the assistant manager at the time, Nikola Never stole nearly
- 20:40Speaker 10: sixteen hundred crayfish worth over two hundred thousand dollars, supplying
- 20:44Speaker 10: faravow wang A's brother Paul and others. Open justices reporting
- 20:48Speaker 10: that Farvawanger and Dela Cruz continued buying the craze despite
- 20:51Speaker 10: knowing it was likely illegal. They've been sentenced to community
- 20:55Speaker 10: detention and find Paul Farvawanga has received two and a
- 20:58Speaker 10: half years in prison, never nearly three.
- 21:01Speaker 2: And how is Dinadian's weather.
- 21:03Speaker 10: It's fine to start with high cloud coming in few
- 21:06Speaker 10: spots rain later this evening the heights today twenty one
- 21:08Speaker 10: to Caterbory, we go.
- 21:09Speaker 2: Clost here were good morning to you, Good morning. What's
- 21:12Speaker 2: the date today? Today is the twenty third of February,
- 21:14Speaker 2: and already the Santa Parade and christ Church is in trouble.
- 21:18Speaker 12: Oh, it is, indeed, and it's in the headlines now.
- 21:20Speaker 12: The Santa Parade, for some context to hear in. Christ
- 21:23Speaker 12: Church was in some financial trouble a few years ago,
- 21:26Speaker 12: but for the past few years they've been able to
- 21:27Speaker 12: save tens of thousands of dollars a year. And the
- 21:30Speaker 12: way they do that is that they hold the Santa
- 21:32Speaker 12: Parade the week after the A and P Show.
- 21:35Speaker 3: Here.
- 21:36Speaker 12: What that means is they don't have to pay for
- 21:37Speaker 12: all of the marquees, etc. Because they simply stay up
- 21:41Speaker 12: following the A and P Show. This year, though it's
- 21:43Speaker 12: been confirmed that organizers are unable to do that. The
- 21:46Speaker 12: AMP show has cut ties. They're saying they don't want
- 21:49Speaker 12: to do this deal this year, which means the Christmas
- 21:52Speaker 12: Santa Parade is about fifty thousand dollars in shortfall. The
- 21:56Speaker 12: parade director, Jason Riguez says the biggest cost, as I mentioned,
- 21:59Speaker 12: will be the marquees, and he's just simply not sure
- 22:02Speaker 12: how they'll be able to cover that. He says an
- 22:05Speaker 12: entry fee is about ninety nine percent ruled out because
- 22:08Speaker 12: the event is based on affordability for families and they
- 22:11Speaker 12: just don't want to charge for it unless they really
- 22:13Speaker 12: have to. The parade has previously attracted up to forty
- 22:16Speaker 12: five thousand people. That's increasing about ten thousand on the
- 22:20Speaker 12: year prior.
- 22:21Speaker 2: All right, and how's Crashach's weather?
- 22:24Speaker 12: It should be mainly fine today apart from some early
- 22:26Speaker 12: morning and evening cloud northeasterlies and high.
- 22:29Speaker 2: Nineteen Max told joins us from Wellington. Gabordity you Max,
- 22:32Speaker 2: good morning. Tell me a story about the leaky hotel.
- 22:35Speaker 6: Yeah, this is a bit of a silly story in
- 22:37Speaker 6: the Herald. A group of six people came to Wellington
- 22:39Speaker 6: to watch You Be forty a couple of weeks ago.
- 22:42Speaker 6: Try to find accommodation quite late on found a place
- 22:44Speaker 6: called Wellington Hotel. The very generically named Wellington Hotel on
- 22:49Speaker 6: Manor Street. Cheap Central booked for about thirteen hundred dollars.
- 22:54Speaker 6: I imagine a few rooms for a couple of nights.
- 22:56Speaker 6: What they found were broken tiles, broken balcony, broken window,
- 22:59Speaker 6: leak in the room from the ceiling, broken doorlatch, ceiling damage.
- 23:04Speaker 6: The images look a little closer to a goolag than
- 23:07Speaker 6: a hotel room. A q a complaint to the Commerce Commission,
- 23:11Speaker 6: and they've obviously spoken to media as well. This group
- 23:13Speaker 6: what gives me little sympathy is that the place itself
- 23:16Speaker 6: is in what not so much that it's listed as
- 23:18Speaker 6: budget accommodation on its own website.
- 23:21Speaker 13: It is.
- 23:21Speaker 6: It's that one quick Google search or one quick search
- 23:24Speaker 6: on trip Advisor of booking dot com would show that
- 23:27Speaker 6: this place has one and two star ratings in abundance,
- 23:31Speaker 6: and reviews published online mostly say the same thing. So
- 23:33Speaker 6: if you book a night at one star accommodation, you're
- 23:36Speaker 6: probably going to get one star accommodation. But the Commerce
- 23:39Speaker 6: Commission is investigating.
- 23:41Speaker 2: Very good stuff now. I hope it's not raining for
- 23:44Speaker 2: the leaky hotel today.
- 23:46Speaker 6: No, they should be a right today mainly find Southerlya's
- 23:48Speaker 6: twenty all right?
- 23:50Speaker 2: Walk can we go? Nivea Retimano joints you.
- 23:51Speaker 7: Good morning, good morning.
- 23:53Speaker 2: So we've got a counselor swimming. Nationals plan to protect
- 23:56Speaker 2: the whole.
- 23:56Speaker 13: Goal, Yes we do now Nationals Conservation spokespuce and it's
- 24:00Speaker 13: Tama Pawtucker. He says it they would look to reinstate
- 24:03Speaker 13: the ban on all fishing in all of the twelve
- 24:06Speaker 13: high protected areas of Hoducky Gelf.
- 24:09Speaker 7: This is after.
- 24:09Speaker 13: Commercial fishing was allowed in two last year. He says,
- 24:13Speaker 13: I'd also reviewed the decision to allow bottom trawling in
- 24:16Speaker 13: some of the designated areas. But White Matara and golf
- 24:20Speaker 13: Ward councilor that's Mike Lee, he's come out. He said
- 24:22Speaker 13: Pawtucker should be doing that now. As the current Minister
- 24:25Speaker 13: of Conservation, he says, look, he needs to improve the
- 24:28Speaker 13: hducky Gelf because it's weakening. So yeah, watch the space
- 24:31Speaker 13: all right.
- 24:31Speaker 2: At how's Orkin's weather.
- 24:32Speaker 13: Cloud chants of a shower clearing to fine.
- 24:34Speaker 3: No.
- 24:35Speaker 13: Twenty three is the high here.
- 24:36Speaker 2: And all class and I thank Inniva it is now seventeen.
- 24:38Speaker 2: Minister six on John O Riddler, the man swimming to
- 24:41Speaker 2: Wellington from North Cape, Nathan says, what a good man
- 24:43Speaker 2: John O is. But isn't it a little ironic that
- 24:46Speaker 2: he may have to cut his swim short due to
- 24:48Speaker 2: the pollution in Wellington? Very good point, Nathan. We might
- 24:52Speaker 2: need to look into that if if Wellington's water is
- 24:55Speaker 2: closed for months, possibly a year, as they say, how
- 24:59Speaker 2: will John O. Riddler swim in to the haver? It
- 25:05Speaker 2: is sixteen to six We're off to the UK and
- 25:06Speaker 2: a few members time with Devin Grays News Talk to you.
- 25:09Speaker 1: B International correspondence with insign Eye Insurance Peace of Mind
- 25:14Speaker 1: for New Zealand business?
- 25:17Speaker 2: Is this got in the UK with Gavin? Greg wanted
- 25:19Speaker 2: to Gevin either Andrew all Right, well, Andrew mount betten
- 25:22Speaker 2: windsor and Epstein. I mean the swamp just gets deeper.
- 25:27Speaker 14: Yes, lots in the weekend newspapers, as I'm sure you
- 25:30Speaker 14: can imagine here. I suppose a couple of the main
- 25:32Speaker 14: angles are that the Metropolitan Police, the police in London
- 25:37Speaker 14: who basically provide royal protection duty and security for Roles,
- 25:42Speaker 14: are accused of well effectively doing security for a dinner
- 25:46Speaker 14: party that Epstein was holding at which Prince Andrew was present. Now,
- 25:50Speaker 14: of course, normally, you know, members of the royal family,
- 25:54Speaker 14: senior politicians are given protection in the royal case, it's
- 25:58Speaker 14: obviously Royal Protection squad officers and that is supposed to
- 26:02Speaker 14: be for them. The idea that they might have been
- 26:05Speaker 14: put up in the Epstein House in New York, which
- 26:08Speaker 14: these emails, the latest out of the US Department of
- 26:12Speaker 14: Justice seemed to show given one room each, one on
- 26:15Speaker 14: the fourth floor, one on the fifth floor, four staying
- 26:18Speaker 14: given the code to the door. All suggests that maybe
- 26:22Speaker 14: they were actually doing more than looking after Andrew Prince
- 26:26Speaker 14: Andrew at the time, maybe they were actually doing security
- 26:29Speaker 14: for the dinner party. The police overall say they are
- 26:31Speaker 14: investigating this. The other big allegation over the weekend is
- 26:35Speaker 14: that Prince Sir Charles as was there now King Charles
- 26:39Speaker 14: was warned by a whistleblower that Andrew was basically dealing
- 26:44Speaker 14: with the wrong people and making friends in business circles
- 26:47Speaker 14: that were not conducive to Britain's good and therefore now
- 26:51Speaker 14: you know very much the focus on King Charles to
- 26:53Speaker 14: say what he knew and when.
- 26:55Speaker 2: Exactly, and he's been they're looking to remove him from
- 26:58Speaker 2: the succession line. There's problems with, of course, whether we
- 27:00Speaker 2: use the ariif to fly to meet with Jeffrey Epstein.
- 27:03Speaker 2: I mean, the swamp just gets deeper and deeper. Now
- 27:05Speaker 2: tell me about the bloke who hector hotel in Spain.
- 27:10Speaker 14: Well, this is of course completely wrongdoing, so I absolutely
- 27:14Speaker 14: condemn it, but I have to say I do kind
- 27:16Speaker 14: of admire somebody that's been very clever. So this twenty
- 27:19Speaker 14: year old man has been arrested on a suspicion of
- 27:22Speaker 14: hacking a hotel booking website and rooms that should have
- 27:26Speaker 14: been reserved for something like one thousand, eight hundred New
- 27:30Speaker 14: Zealand dollars aer night, he managed to book for one
- 27:34Speaker 14: euro cent, so, in other words, like a tiny, tiny.
- 27:37Speaker 2: Portion of money.
- 27:39Speaker 14: He was detained while staying at a hotel in Madrid,
- 27:41Speaker 14: in Spain, where he was accused of racking up charges
- 27:44Speaker 14: of more than forty five thousand New Zealand dollars during
- 27:47Speaker 14: several stays. But the problem was each night he was
- 27:50Speaker 14: only paying just like one penny one cent. Police say
- 27:54Speaker 14: the alleged crime involved altering the payment validation system and
- 27:57Speaker 14: was the first of its kind to be detected, with
- 27:59Speaker 14: ks expected to go to court sometimes.
- 28:01Speaker 2: So thank you, Gavin Gray. Out of the UK, another
- 28:03Speaker 2: big story out of the UK is about Sophie Downing.
- 28:05Speaker 2: Sophie Downing had a gift card and she thought, I'll
- 28:08Speaker 2: go buy a coffee from my shop. This is a
- 28:11Speaker 2: Nottingham So she used the ten pound gift card to
- 28:13Speaker 2: buy the coffee, and then she saw the receipt and
- 28:17Speaker 2: found that she had a remaining balance of more than
- 28:19Speaker 2: sixty three quadrillion pounds. Apparently the coffee shop said it
- 28:25Speaker 2: was an administrative eraror you think, and the gift card
- 28:29Speaker 2: number was used as being money, which is why she
- 28:32Speaker 2: now had sixty three quadrillion pounds. Unfortunately she never got
- 28:36Speaker 2: the chance.
- 28:37Speaker 6: To use it.
- 28:37Speaker 2: It is ten to six.
- 28:40Speaker 1: News talk z' b well.
- 28:41Speaker 2: The big anouncedent over the weekend is that the government's
- 28:43Speaker 2: moving to give police new powers to move on beggars
- 28:46Speaker 2: and rough sleepers from town centers. So under this proposed law,
- 28:50Speaker 2: which still has to be passed, officers could order people
- 28:53Speaker 2: to leave specific areas. If you fail to comply, you
- 28:56Speaker 2: could end out in jail for three months or maybe
- 28:58Speaker 2: even a two thousand dollars five. Paul Goldsmith is a
- 29:01Speaker 2: Justice minister and joins you now good one is you Paul?
- 29:04Speaker 8: Good morning?
- 29:06Speaker 7: Good will this work?
- 29:08Speaker 6: Well?
- 29:09Speaker 2: We believe it will.
- 29:10Speaker 8: The issue is, of course, which is obvious to everybody
- 29:14Speaker 8: that has been visiting the center of Auckland and many
- 29:18Speaker 8: of our main streets around the country, is that there's
- 29:20Speaker 8: been a big increase over the last few years and
- 29:23Speaker 8: anti social behavior and a sort of sense of intimidation.
- 29:26Speaker 8: People don't feel comfortable and safe in our CBDs, and
- 29:31Speaker 8: we need to change that. We need to reclaim our
- 29:33Speaker 8: in our street so it's a welcoming place for people
- 29:36Speaker 8: who live there and work there and for visitors, and
- 29:40Speaker 8: so we want to send a clearent message.
- 29:43Speaker 2: So this means that if you're homeless or down your luck,
- 29:45Speaker 2: you're in fact you've got you're causing an offense.
- 29:49Speaker 6: Well, no, you're causing.
- 29:50Speaker 8: An offense if you don't follow a move on order
- 29:55Speaker 8: for the police. And so at the moment there's a
- 30:00Speaker 8: app in the law which which means that the police
- 30:02Speaker 8: aren't aren't able to deal with sort of low level
- 30:06Speaker 8: of behavior or antisocial behavior that collectively adds up to
- 30:12Speaker 8: an intimidating atmosphere.
- 30:15Speaker 7: In the streets.
- 30:16Speaker 8: And so that's that's the gap we're trying to fill.
- 30:19Speaker 2: So when they moved on, whether they go because I
- 30:21Speaker 2: just go somewhere else and cause the same problem, just
- 30:24Speaker 2: different location.
- 30:25Speaker 8: Well, no, I mean where they go is they go
- 30:29Speaker 8: a reasonable distance which maybe which will depend where you are,
- 30:33Speaker 8: of course, if you're talking about the main street of
- 30:35Speaker 8: fung Array or an apil or might be different from
- 30:38Speaker 8: Auckland Council, or it may be a kilometer up the road.
- 30:41Speaker 8: And then of course if you up there up the
- 30:44Speaker 8: road do the same behaviors, well then you can be
- 30:47Speaker 8: moved on again until the message is learned. And so
- 30:51Speaker 8: it's not that the law applies everywhere in the country,
- 30:55Speaker 8: and it's about saying, well, look, actually you know we
- 30:59Speaker 8: have we're a country that cares very much about the
- 31:03Speaker 8: needs of individuals. We have a very strong welfare system.
- 31:06Speaker 8: We invest hundreds of million dollars and lots of programs
- 31:09Speaker 8: around housing, around addictions, and we're here to help you
- 31:13Speaker 8: if you if you want had help. But if you don't,
- 31:16Speaker 8: and you think that you have a right to occupy
- 31:21Speaker 8: Queen Street for example, and live there, well actually no
- 31:23Speaker 8: you don't, because the rest of the community want to
- 31:26Speaker 8: have access to those facilities. In a way, that doesn't
- 31:29Speaker 8: mean that our center of our cities are a place
- 31:32Speaker 8: where people feel like there's a disorder in the lack
- 31:36Speaker 8: of sort of social cohesion.
- 31:38Speaker 2: All right, Paul Gosworth as the Justice Minister, how do
- 31:40Speaker 2: you feel about that? He contests in ninety two ninety two.
- 31:42Speaker 2: It's the big issue of the day, of course, dominated
- 31:44Speaker 2: to back all night long, and looking at the texts
- 31:47Speaker 2: from all night long, a lot of people saying it's
- 31:49Speaker 2: not overly empathetic. I see that we've got a homeless
- 31:55Speaker 2: guy in my suburban. He's a lovely bloke and he's
- 31:57Speaker 2: down on his luck and he just can't get it right,
- 32:00Speaker 2: and people care for him. They give him a paper.
- 32:02Speaker 2: He's well read, he's a good conversation. The problem is
- 32:04Speaker 2: he sleeps on a park bench outside the hospital shop.
- 32:07Speaker 2: If the police come along every time and just move
- 32:09Speaker 2: them on, I would find that the local residents would
- 32:11Speaker 2: actually be be somewhat upset. So it's all going to
- 32:15Speaker 2: have to be in the judicious use of this law
- 32:17Speaker 2: by the police. So that's more in their court and
- 32:19Speaker 2: we'll see how it develops. Remember it's just a proposed
- 32:22Speaker 2: law for now. It is our six to six.
- 32:25Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on a early edition with
- 32:29Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens and one roof love where you live News talk.
- 32:33Speaker 2: Sa'd be John says that with every second word being
- 32:35Speaker 2: om and mister Goldsmith was not at all convincing. He
- 32:38Speaker 2: is an an hour person and we should maybe do
- 32:40Speaker 2: account of him, maybe have a little ticker that goes
- 32:42Speaker 2: t dick every time he ams and oars. It's the
- 32:44Speaker 2: thing I guess. John said. He also didn't actually say
- 32:47Speaker 2: where the homeless could actually go. Yes, we know we've
- 32:49Speaker 2: heard these conversations all night long. Now Mike Hosking joins,
