- 0:11Speaker 1: News Talks.
- 0:11Speaker 2: He'd be good morning. It is six alfter five news talks.
- 0:14Speaker 2: It'd be Wednesday, the sixteenth of April. Great to have
- 0:16Speaker 2: your company coming up on the program. We'll look at
- 0:18Speaker 2: those crime stats. Just how reliable are they? The cost
- 0:21Speaker 2: of feeding your family has gone up again, The drones
- 0:25Speaker 2: of the ocean catching the cartels out, will take a
- 0:28Speaker 2: look at those. Plus we're in the UK. Are they
- 0:30Speaker 2: about to sign a free trade deal with Donald Trump?
- 0:34Speaker 2: All ahead.
- 0:37Speaker 1: The agenda.
- 0:41Speaker 2: It is Wednesday, the sixteenth of April. Trump's called for
- 0:44Speaker 2: Harvard University to lose a valuable tax break, just hours
- 0:47Speaker 2: after his administration announced it's freezing more than two billion
- 0:51Speaker 2: in federal funds for the university. The White House demanded
- 0:54Speaker 2: Harvard mate changes to hiring, admissions, and teaching practices, which
- 0:58Speaker 2: it says will fight antisemit on campus, but the demands
- 1:02Speaker 2: were rejected. Harvard's now accusing the administration of trying to
- 1:05Speaker 2: control it.
- 1:06Speaker 3: All of the institutions that are facing this extortion by
- 1:10Speaker 3: the Trump administration individually may not be powerful enough to resist,
- 1:15Speaker 3: but I think collectively they do have a tremendous amount
- 1:19Speaker 3: of resources.
- 1:20Speaker 2: Staying in the US. Vice President J d Vance says
- 1:23Speaker 2: there's a good chance they'll do a trade deal with
- 1:25Speaker 2: the UK. He says it's because it's much easier to
- 1:28Speaker 2: do one with them than it is European countries because
- 1:30Speaker 2: of the reciprocal relationship. The UK's cautious a.
- 1:34Speaker 4: Good trade deal with the US could bring huge benefits.
- 1:38Speaker 4: But of course we're slightly alarmed by what they've been
- 1:41Speaker 4: saying recently. Trump has not proved to be a reliable partner.
- 1:46Speaker 4: But let's see what it is on the table.
- 1:49Speaker 2: Finally, the Vatican has put Spanish architect Anthony Gaudi on
- 1:53Speaker 2: the path to sainthood and recognition of his heroic virtues.
- 1:57Speaker 2: Godie's most well known for a installation in Barcelona, has
- 2:03Speaker 2: been recognized as God's Architect for many years.
- 2:06Speaker 5: There's absolutely no doubt he was devout and that he
- 2:09Speaker 5: spent pretty well all his adult life working for the church,
- 2:13Speaker 5: working in different ways, but particularly for that extraordinary project,
- 2:18Speaker 5: the Guirlda Familiar, which is he was working on it
- 2:22Speaker 5: until literally the day he died.
- 2:25Speaker 2: And that is your agenda eight after five.
- 2:29Speaker 1: Get ahead, of the headlines on early edition with Ryan
- 2:33Speaker 1: Bridge and one roof Make Your Property Search Simple News
- 2:37Speaker 1: Talk said, be.
- 2:38Speaker 2: We'll talk to the veggi growers in just a few
- 2:40Speaker 2: seconds about the price of food. Actually, Vegi is one
- 2:42Speaker 2: of the few that is coming down. Your fruit and
- 2:44Speaker 2: vege one of the few that's coming down in the
- 2:47Speaker 2: last results we had out yesterday, So we'll talk to them.
- 2:50Speaker 2: The doctors are striking. Senior doctors are striking. Surprise, surprise.
- 2:55Speaker 2: We've been hearing grumblings from them for a while and
- 2:57Speaker 2: now haven't we over the past few weeks. Hospitals and
- 2:59Speaker 2: Nelson and Gisbon and other places. It's the usual staff,
- 3:03Speaker 2: not enough resources, not enough pay, not enough staff. Two
- 3:07Speaker 2: things about this one. The government obviously deciding they're going
- 3:10Speaker 2: to play hardball here. We had Simi and browncome out yesterday.
- 3:13Speaker 2: He's saying, we'll have to cancel more than four thousand procedures,
- 3:17Speaker 2: you know, thousands of MRIs and CT scans. Plus these
- 3:22Speaker 2: guys earn an average total pay of almost three hundred
- 3:26Speaker 2: and fifty thousand dollars. Wow. So in the battle for
- 3:29Speaker 2: public sympathy, he's obviously hoping that doctors lose on the
- 3:33Speaker 2: basis that kiwis don't like people being paid lots of
- 3:36Speaker 2: money and then complaining about it. Right, Sure, three hundred
- 3:39Speaker 2: and fifty thousand dollars sounds like a lot of money.
- 3:42Speaker 2: Sure it is more than most people earn its X
- 3:44Speaker 2: y z times the average wage. But none of that
- 3:48Speaker 2: really matters. The only number that really matters is what
- 3:52Speaker 2: they be paid elsewhere. This is not your back office staff,
- 3:56Speaker 2: This is not your orderlies. This is the guy or
- 4:00Speaker 2: the girl, the woman or the man who operates on you. Now.
- 4:04Speaker 2: I don't know about you, but if somebody's going to
- 4:07Speaker 2: cut me open and operate on me, I'd like them
- 4:09Speaker 2: to be well paid. And being well paid doesn't mean
- 4:13Speaker 2: a pay that most people would be comfortable with the
- 4:15Speaker 2: New Zealand. It means a pay that's competitive with Australia
- 4:19Speaker 2: at the very least, where specialists can turn up to
- 4:21Speaker 2: five hundred thousand dollars a year that's Australian. So hm,
- 4:27Speaker 2: I don't know who I'm with on that one, other
- 4:29Speaker 2: than to say, if I'm going to be cut open
- 4:31Speaker 2: by some by a surgeon, I'd like them to have
- 4:33Speaker 2: a lot of money in their back pocket. Ten alf
- 4:35Speaker 2: to five News talks, there'd b We've got the global
- 4:37Speaker 2: dairy trade numbers overnight. Interesting. We were wondering whether Trump's
- 4:42Speaker 2: Paris would have an impact on them, whether we'd see
- 4:44Speaker 2: a fall in demand. We haven't. I'll have those numbers
- 4:47Speaker 2: for you next on.
- 4:49Speaker 1: Your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early Edition with Ryan
- 4:54Speaker 1: Bridge and one roof Make your Property Search Simple.
- 4:58Speaker 2: You talk said, be good morning. It is five thirteen
- 5:01Speaker 2: So we had our first global dairy trade option overnight.
- 5:03Speaker 2: This is the first since Trump's tariff swin introduced, and
- 5:07Speaker 2: people were worried about weaker demand. Obviously, the tariff's heading
- 5:10Speaker 2: Asia quite hard. Asia a big market for us. In fact,
- 5:13Speaker 2: it is China is the biggest market for our whole
- 5:16Speaker 2: milk powder, which is about fourteen percent of our export
- 5:19Speaker 2: goods ten billion dollars, so a hefty number. And the
- 5:23Speaker 2: news is good this morning. It's up one point six percent.
- 5:27Speaker 2: Whole milk powder is actually up two point eight percent,
- 5:29Speaker 2: Skim milk powder is down two point three percent, mozzarella
- 5:33Speaker 2: up five point four, cheddar up one point eight and
- 5:36Speaker 2: butter up one point five. So hardly the massive fall
- 5:40Speaker 2: in demand that some people were expecting. So that's some
- 5:43Speaker 2: good news overnight from your Global Dairy Trade fourteen minutes
- 5:45Speaker 2: after five Ray and Bridge. Overall food prices have gone
- 5:49Speaker 2: up three and a half percent in the last year.
- 5:51Speaker 2: This is the year to March. We had the stats
- 5:53Speaker 2: and Z numbers out yesterday. Inflation on non alcoholic beverages
- 5:58Speaker 2: and grocery items are the key drivers barta and as
- 6:01Speaker 2: we've just seen, and chocolate being the worst offenders share
- 6:04Speaker 2: of vegetables and Z. John Murphy with me this morning. John,
- 6:06Speaker 2: Good morning all Ran. Good to have you on the show.
- 6:10Speaker 2: So interestingly, veggies actually were among the group coming down.
- 6:16Speaker 6: Yeah, I think we've certainly done our part and keeping
- 6:18Speaker 6: that inflation low, which is good for consumers. And yeah,
- 6:23Speaker 6: I would say that it actually shows that it's a
- 6:25Speaker 6: pretty tough time out there for vegetable growers at the moment,
- 6:29Speaker 6: so we do have to keep an eye on that
- 6:30Speaker 6: for sure.
- 6:31Speaker 2: What's tough at the moment.
- 6:34Speaker 6: Look, I think the key thing there is consenting, a
- 6:39Speaker 6: lack of consistent consenting around various regions in New Zealand,
- 6:43Speaker 6: and that's really the thing that could have an effect
- 6:46Speaker 6: the other way in these figures as we look to
- 6:48Speaker 6: the future. So we're working pretty hard to make sure
- 6:52Speaker 6: that fresh, healthy food is prioritized in the IRIMA reforms
- 6:57Speaker 6: that are going on at the moment. We think that's
- 6:59Speaker 6: really essential so that we don't see a spike the
- 7:02Speaker 6: other way in the future.
- 7:04Speaker 2: Okay, let's put that to a side for one second.
- 7:06Speaker 2: But will do you think we'll see these numbers keep
- 7:09Speaker 2: falling or will they stabilize? Here?
- 7:11Speaker 6: What happens for vegetables, They can't fall any further, To
- 7:15Speaker 6: be honest, I think we're at a point where we've
- 7:18Speaker 6: got really abundant supplies of fresh vegetables, and I would
- 7:21Speaker 6: say there's some really good buying it there at the moment.
- 7:24Speaker 6: So of course we're hoping people get out and for
- 7:27Speaker 6: their trolleys. But no, I don't see them coming down
- 7:30Speaker 6: any further for vegetables, that's for sure, and not going up. Look,
- 7:35Speaker 6: I think they could well go up, and particularly as
- 7:39Speaker 6: you see the likes of a cyclone that's approaching, where
- 7:43Speaker 6: we see big spikes, and when we saw Gabriel. It
- 7:47Speaker 6: seems like it's a distant past now, but we saw
- 7:52Speaker 6: fresh cut greens production go down by that fifteen percent
- 7:56Speaker 6: with that horrendous event. Now, fifteen percent doesn't sound a
- 7:59Speaker 6: lot us as we went up three hundred percent because
- 8:01Speaker 6: the market tipped. So we don't want to see that in.
- 8:04Speaker 2: The future, certainly don't know neither of us want to
- 8:06Speaker 2: see that now. The consenting issues the government made. If
- 8:09Speaker 2: you've announced a few changes to land use a couple
- 8:11Speaker 2: of weeks back and that affects you know, it will
- 8:14Speaker 2: affect your growers. What do they think about them? Are
- 8:17Speaker 2: Are they thinking they're a good idea or are they
- 8:19Speaker 2: thinking they're bad for business.
- 8:22Speaker 6: Look, there's no doubt that there needs to be a reset,
- 8:24Speaker 6: so it's good that we're looking at it. But when
- 8:26Speaker 6: it comes to highly productive land, having good soils, great water,
- 8:30Speaker 6: great people, great, but we need consent to actually use
- 8:34Speaker 6: the land for what we're doing and that part of
- 8:36Speaker 6: the equation hasn't been solved yet. So particularly in areas
- 8:40Speaker 6: like Dafena and Pukakoe, those areas are in a major
- 8:44Speaker 6: threat if they disappear from the national food febric that
- 8:48Speaker 6: we've got. If we don't have that supply, then that
- 8:52Speaker 6: will affect the number of vegetable growers who are in business,
- 8:55Speaker 6: and that would not be good for these figures going forward.
- 8:58Speaker 2: Good point, John, Thank you for that. John Murthy fat
- 9:00Speaker 2: share of vegetables and zed with us this morning talking
- 9:02Speaker 2: about the price of well what you put in your mouth.
- 9:04Speaker 2: Seventeen minutes after five, News Talks hedb these two unmanned
- 9:08Speaker 2: boats that will be floating out there in the ocean
- 9:11Speaker 2: trying to stop the cartels from sending cocaine and other
- 9:14Speaker 2: drugs to this country. We'll look at those next.
- 9:16Speaker 1: Because news and Views you trust to start your day
- 9:19Speaker 1: is the early edition with Ryan Bridge and one Room,
- 9:22Speaker 1: Make Your Property Search Simple.
- 9:25Speaker 2: News Talks v nineteen after five. John checks in the
- 9:28Speaker 2: program Ryan simeon Brown's doctor's salary figures are deliberately inflated
- 9:32Speaker 2: to negatively sway public opinion. The actual band is one
- 9:36Speaker 2: hundred and eighty five thousand to two hundred and sixty
- 9:38Speaker 2: eight thousand. Not sure where he gets three hundred and
- 9:40Speaker 2: fifty k from John. He says total remuneration, so I'm
- 9:44Speaker 2: assuming he is also referring there to overtime and all
- 9:47Speaker 2: sorts of different things. Just gone five twenty here on
- 9:50Speaker 2: News Talk sead B, two brand new unmanned surface vessels
- 9:54Speaker 2: were launched in Devenport yesterday. They called Tahi and Ruher,
- 9:58Speaker 2: and they're going to be used to intercept Class A
- 10:00Speaker 2: drugs before they get into the country. For an idea
- 10:02Speaker 2: of how big of a problem this is getting, the
- 10:04Speaker 2: Ministerial Working Group report showed customs seized fifty five kilograms
- 10:08Speaker 2: worth of methan fetterming ten years ago. Now ninety kilograms
- 10:12Speaker 2: get stopped every week. Charrell Kenney is with the customs
- 10:16Speaker 2: brokers in Fratesford's Federation. She's with me this morning. Charrell,
- 10:20Speaker 2: good morning. I am good to have you on the program.
- 10:24Speaker 2: So what do you know about these vessels?
- 10:26Speaker 7: Oh, aren't they fabulous? Book drones of the ocean? I
- 10:31Speaker 7: think they've been called. But there are you know, an
- 10:34Speaker 7: investment in sustainable safe technology to try and help combat
- 10:39Speaker 7: these illicit drugs that keep coming across the border.
- 10:43Speaker 2: Because there's a lot of it coming in, right and
- 10:45Speaker 2: they've already managed to find some on the bottom on
- 10:48Speaker 2: the house of some ships.
- 10:50Speaker 7: Absolutely, So these new vessels will be able to monitor
- 10:54Speaker 7: them safely offshore, you know, sort of be at the
- 10:58Speaker 7: forefront before it she gets to the border. So it's
- 11:02Speaker 7: a welcomed announcement yesterday.
- 11:04Speaker 2: Are they hard to drive?
- 11:06Speaker 7: Well, they're remote controlled, I believe, so you know they're
- 11:11Speaker 7: safe to operate for personnel going into potentially dangerous situations
- 11:17Speaker 7: and they can be sustainable, if sure, for days on ends.
- 11:22Speaker 7: So it's a really welcomed addition to the fleet for
- 11:26Speaker 7: Customs and the Defense Force.
- 11:29Speaker 2: Do you know what happens to them once they I mean,
- 11:31Speaker 2: because obviously somebody is going to be on land controlling them.
- 11:35Speaker 2: Does that mean that they would just be out there
- 11:36Speaker 2: potentially twenty four seven? Would there be someone on land
- 11:39Speaker 2: keeping on them the whole time?
- 11:41Speaker 7: I definitely think it's twenty four to seven surveillance. Yeah,
- 11:44Speaker 7: and with the two vessels they can sort of, you know,
- 11:47Speaker 7: monitor different parts of the coast, whereas potentially the Defense
- 11:52Speaker 7: Force the New Zealand Customs can't get to those places
- 11:55Speaker 7: all the time. So it's a real asset protecting New Zealand.
- 12:00Speaker 2: Call technology surely. Thank you at Cherrelle Sorry, thank you
- 12:02Speaker 2: so much for your time. Cherrell Kennedy, Chief executive at
- 12:05Speaker 2: Customs Brokers and Frank Ford's Federation in New Zealand. Twenty
- 12:07Speaker 2: two minutes after five, You're on NEWSTALKSB.
- 12:10Speaker 1: The Early Edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by.
- 12:14Speaker 2: NEWSTALKSB News Talks HEB. It is twenty four minutes after five.
- 12:20Speaker 2: So we have senior doctors going on strike. We're in
- 12:23Speaker 2: the midst of a global trade war, not that Winston
- 12:26Speaker 2: will let us call it that anymore. We have inflation
- 12:28Speaker 2: potentially picking up again. We have a lot going on
- 12:31Speaker 2: in this country, not to mention around the world. Right
- 12:34Speaker 2: But there. I was sitting down to watch the news
- 12:37Speaker 2: last night and the second lead story was about whether
- 12:41Speaker 2: women or people could get pregnant. Fact is, nobody in
- 12:45Speaker 2: the story said it was solely women who get pregnant.
- 12:49Speaker 2: Casey Costello herself says non binary and trans people can
- 12:53Speaker 2: get pregnant too, which is true. They may have been
- 12:55Speaker 2: born female, but they identify as something else. Now, the
- 12:59Speaker 2: question is where mass communications issued by Health New Zealand
- 13:04Speaker 2: should speak of pregnant women. To make things clear, here's
- 13:09Speaker 2: the thing about it. The story I watched included exactly
- 13:12Speaker 2: zero of these people who are apparently so offended by
- 13:16Speaker 2: the term pregnant women. The Midwives Union preferred women, the
- 13:21Speaker 2: government preferred women. Even Chris Hipkins, when asked yesterday, said
- 13:24Speaker 2: basically women was fine for mass communications. So where's the
- 13:27Speaker 2: problem here. If somebody identifies as a different gender, then
- 13:32Speaker 2: you personalize the message. You tailor the message to their needs.
- 13:36Speaker 2: The reason these things rile people up so much is
- 13:39Speaker 2: because it reinforces this idea that we've got a bunch
- 13:42Speaker 2: of social scientists and bureaucrats with the genders running around
- 13:47Speaker 2: Wellington wasting time and tax payer money coming up with
- 13:50Speaker 2: this stuff. People, including I'm sure non binary people, would
- 13:55Speaker 2: prefer a hospital system that has enough beds and surgery
- 13:59Speaker 2: slots to cater for them. Surely that has to be
- 14:03Speaker 2: the priority number one when it comes to health. Dwenty
- 14:07Speaker 2: six minutes after five News Talk said, big God Boeing
- 14:10Speaker 2: just cannot catch a break, can they? So we know
- 14:12Speaker 2: that hell of a time lately. They've had the workers striking,
- 14:15Speaker 2: they've had that huge pay bump, they had to settle
- 14:18Speaker 2: with the union, they've had the engine issues. Now overnight
- 14:23Speaker 2: China is going after them American company, obviously Boeing. So
- 14:27Speaker 2: with the trade war, China telling its airlines don't order
- 14:31Speaker 2: any new aircraft from the Americans, so their shares have
- 14:35Speaker 2: taken a bit of a dip. Trump has also said
- 14:38Speaker 2: that they're not only are they not buying new aircraft,
- 14:42Speaker 2: they are also going to walk away from an existing
- 14:44Speaker 2: deal and won't take possession of fully committed aircraft that
- 14:49Speaker 2: they'd sign a contract for. But like us with the fairies,
- 14:52Speaker 2: so bad news for Boeing. Overnight there's share price down
- 14:55Speaker 2: about one percent last time I checked twenty seven minutes
- 14:58Speaker 2: after five. This weather system, and I know you get
- 15:02Speaker 2: you probably roll your eyes every time you see these
- 15:04Speaker 2: headlines now because there's such that they're beaten to within
- 15:06Speaker 2: an inch of their lives. But I do have to
- 15:09Speaker 2: tell you that there is a tropical cyclone heading towards
- 15:13Speaker 2: New Zealand. It's been upgraded to a tropical cyclone overnight.
- 15:16Speaker 2: This is the FIGI met Service. It's done it. The
- 15:19Speaker 2: center was expected to remain west of Cape Danger, so
- 15:22Speaker 2: won't actually come over the top of New Zealand, but
- 15:24Speaker 2: I'll get close enough to see some winds one hundred
- 15:28Speaker 2: kilometers in our heavy rainfall. That kind of stuff coming today,
- 15:31Speaker 2: but Thursday looking worse. So tie your trampoline down and
- 15:35Speaker 2: that's the message, and get your supplies ready. Auckland, Northland
- 15:38Speaker 2: Corimandal Bay of plenty Rota Do or Kaima Range. Why
- 15:41Speaker 2: kata Wa, toml Buller, You're expected to be hit. It
- 15:44Speaker 2: should be downgraded. This is the thing. It should be
- 15:47Speaker 2: downgraded from a tropical cyclone by the time it actually
- 15:51Speaker 2: gets close to us. So I mean it still matters,
- 15:54Speaker 2: but it won't quite be a tropical cyclone by the
- 15:56Speaker 2: time it gets here. Now, inflation, we are looking ahead today.
- 16:00Speaker 2: The inflation number will be out Thursday morning. And it's
- 16:04Speaker 2: very difficult Genie to get back in the bottle, isn't
- 16:06Speaker 2: it very stubborn little thing? The number four quarter one
- 16:10Speaker 2: out Thursday, expected to increase for the first time in
- 16:13Speaker 2: three years. Food price is expected to be aut one
- 16:16Speaker 2: point seven percent. This is according to the economists, of course,
- 16:20Speaker 2: so the number because you think, oh, inflation going up,
- 16:23Speaker 2: that sounds scary. The number could be two point three
- 16:26Speaker 2: percent instead of two point two. Is that the end
- 16:29Speaker 2: of the world?
- 16:29Speaker 3: No?
- 16:29Speaker 2: Is it still within the Reserve banks band? Yes? Would
- 16:32Speaker 2: it influence a decision by them to bring the ocr down?
- 16:36Speaker 5: No?
- 16:37Speaker 2: So not worth getting your nick. It's quite twisted. Yet
- 16:41Speaker 2: we'll have to wait and see what happens on Thursday
- 16:43Speaker 2: twenty eight minutes after five. Now you're on News Talk s'b.
- 16:46Speaker 2: We're going to get to Gavin Gray after News find
- 16:49Speaker 2: out how close the Brits are to a trade deal
- 16:52Speaker 2: with Trump.
- 17:00Speaker 8: That's well with the ordendary. Oh yeah, on the oude
- 17:08Speaker 8: of your name, staying drunk on your bye.
- 17:13Speaker 2: Names is up in the clouds.
- 17:15Speaker 5: Oh ChIL.
- 17:15Speaker 9: Let's know when we found.
- 17:20Speaker 1: You're going to be given.
- 17:32Speaker 8: My dad.
- 17:32Speaker 3: You know we.
- 17:37Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge on early edition with one ruth make your
- 17:40Speaker 1: property search simple used Talk zibby. Good morning.
- 17:52Speaker 2: It is twenty four minutes away from six year on
- 17:54Speaker 2: news Talk ZIBB. Coming up, we will look at the
- 17:56Speaker 2: violent crime stats before six o'clock. We'll get to Gavin
- 17:59Speaker 2: Bray and the UN as well. Some fears that Australia,
- 18:03Speaker 2: well Australia was fearing that Indonesia was going to give
- 18:07Speaker 2: up some of its airspace to the Russian So the
- 18:10Speaker 2: Indonesian Defense Minister is now rubbishing these reports that Russia
- 18:14Speaker 2: was seeking to base military aircraft in the country, says
- 18:18Speaker 2: it simply not true. This came from a defense and
- 18:21Speaker 2: security news website Janes. They said Moscow was filing an
- 18:25Speaker 2: official request with jacardiffor permission including several long range aircraft
- 18:31Speaker 2: to be based at one of their facilities. The Indonesians
- 18:34Speaker 2: come out and said that's nonsense. In France overnight, a
- 18:38Speaker 2: couple of prisons have been attacked, one with a military
- 18:41Speaker 2: grade weapon fired at the entrance of a prison in
- 18:44Speaker 2: the south of France because the defense, sorry, the Justice
- 18:48Speaker 2: minister over there having a bit of a crackdown on
- 18:51Speaker 2: the cartels, having a bit of a crackdown on drugs.
- 18:54Speaker 2: They don't like it. So what do they do? Go
- 18:56Speaker 2: on fire machine guns at the entrance to the prisons
- 19:00Speaker 2: three minutes away from six Bray and Bridge. It's going
- 19:03Speaker 2: to out reporters around the country. Calum Proctor and Dunedin first, Colum,
- 19:05Speaker 2: good morning, morning right, a bit of a crappy problem
- 19:09Speaker 2: for a Southland walking track.
- 19:10Speaker 10: Colum, Yeah, the Department of Conservation says dog feces on
- 19:14Speaker 10: the Fauvo Walkway have reached obscene levels and so doc's
- 19:20Speaker 10: warning that dogs may have to be excluded altogether from
- 19:23Speaker 10: this walkway if things don't improve.
- 19:26Speaker 11: This is a track that's part of the Adora Trail
- 19:29Speaker 11: and it's a huge draw card for locals and also tourists.
- 19:32Speaker 11: At this stage dogs are allowed on the track, but
- 19:35Speaker 11: as long as they're on a lead. But Doc says
- 19:37Speaker 11: the feces problem is out of control and getting worse.
- 19:40Speaker 11: So new signs will go up to remind dog walkers
- 19:43Speaker 11: of their obligation and they say the monitor although the
- 19:47Speaker 11: situation will be monitored further hope.
- 19:49Speaker 2: So now how's your where they come?
- 19:52Speaker 11: Mostly cloudy here today, easterlies and fifteen.
- 19:54Speaker 2: Nice one, thank you. And we've got Courtney winter and
- 19:57Speaker 2: christ Church this morning Courtney, good morning.
- 19:59Speaker 12: Good morning.
- 20:00Speaker 2: Now now tell us what's happening with the funding and Canterbury Museum.
- 20:03Speaker 12: Yeah so, christ Church City councilors are expected to reject
- 20:07Speaker 12: the museum's requests for twenty one million dollars to help
- 20:11Speaker 12: plug a redevelopment shortfall. The project is underway but has
- 20:16Speaker 12: ballooned from two hundred and five to two hundred and
- 20:19Speaker 12: forty seven million dollars. Director Anthony Wright made a formal
- 20:24Speaker 12: request for more money earlier this month. He's appealing for
- 20:27Speaker 12: fifty million dollars, evenly split between central and local government.
- 20:32Speaker 12: A report recommends counselors decline the extra funding and invites
- 20:37Speaker 12: the museum to submit a request ahead of the next
- 20:39Speaker 12: annual plan.
- 20:40Speaker 2: All right, how's your weather, Courtney, Yeah.
- 20:43Speaker 12: Mostly cloudy here too, is some possible judzyl northeasterlies are
- 20:46Speaker 12: high or fourteen brilliant.
- 20:47Speaker 2: Thank you very much. Max Toles and Wellington Max get
- 20:49Speaker 2: a good morning. Good morning. Now you've got a surprise
- 20:52Speaker 2: surprise of spatic council. What's this sober?
- 20:55Speaker 13: Yeah, dejaveau, isn't it? Meryll kandidd. Ray Chung is defending
- 20:59Speaker 13: skip having a council meeting to dine with donors and
- 21:02Speaker 13: his campaign launch effectively next door. Ray Chung left during
- 21:07Speaker 13: a Regulatory Processes committee meeting last week to go to
- 21:09Speaker 13: the Wellington Club. That's the oldest private club in the country.
- 21:13Speaker 13: The mayor joined this year, by the way, but this
- 21:15Speaker 13: was for the launch of a Ray's campaign group Independent
- 21:18Speaker 13: together and effectively his mayoral tilt as well. Chung says
- 21:23Speaker 13: he typically has good attendance at council and notified the
- 21:26Speaker 13: committee he had another appointment. Tory Farno says a vital
- 21:29Speaker 13: council work should trump fancy lunches. She sent us quite
- 21:33Speaker 13: a critical statement. We called Chung yesterday afternoon and he
- 21:37Speaker 13: said the mayor was full of s word. You can
- 21:39Speaker 13: imagine she offered misses meetings herself, he points out, and
- 21:43Speaker 13: he was only across the road. Can we please get
- 21:45Speaker 13: October out of the way now?
- 21:47Speaker 2: Yeah. Well that's interesting because she I mean, how many
- 21:50Speaker 2: times does she had COVID too? That's the other thing.
- 21:53Speaker 13: I think we're about about half a dozen.
- 21:55Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Next, how's the winner?
- 21:57Speaker 13: Mostly cloudy today, so easterly seventeenth central.
- 22:00Speaker 2: Think you have a good one. Neighbor's an Auckland good morning,
- 22:02Speaker 2: Good morning. Now speed enforcement called for. This is around
- 22:06Speaker 2: Auckland University.
- 22:07Speaker 14: Yes it is. Now a petition's being launched. You'll remember
- 22:10Speaker 14: that five people that were injured in a crash last month.
- 22:13Speaker 14: This was on Simon Street, so we know that a
- 22:16Speaker 14: twenty year old is facing various drug and driving charges
- 22:20Speaker 14: due in court tomorrow. But also Lewis Creed, he's the
- 22:23Speaker 14: managing editor of Auckland University Crack and magazine, and he says, look,
- 22:27Speaker 14: that road there on Simon Street is thirty K zone,
- 22:30Speaker 14: but a lot of people don't realize it.
- 22:31Speaker 5: You know.
- 22:32Speaker 14: He said that he's heard people say is it forty
- 22:34Speaker 14: k or is it fifty k? So you know he's
- 22:37Speaker 14: saying it is thirty k. So they are just really
- 22:41Speaker 14: enforcing that speed limit of thirty k to slow down
- 22:44Speaker 14: around that area.
- 22:46Speaker 2: Okay, thirty ks is so slow that way you might
- 22:49Speaker 2: as well get out and walk.
- 22:50Speaker 14: Well, sometimes I drive down there, you know, and I'm
- 22:52Speaker 14: looking around. I said, oh, that's right, I've got to
- 22:54Speaker 14: slow down, you know, you do do.
- 22:57Speaker 2: And the problem is, because there's so much traffic in
- 22:59Speaker 2: the city. As soon as you can go a little
- 23:00Speaker 2: bit faster, you immediately want to because you've you know,
- 23:03Speaker 2: you've just been stuck moving nowhere for half an hour.
- 23:06Speaker 8: That's right.
- 23:06Speaker 2: So I sort the traffic out and people might follow
- 23:08Speaker 2: your rolls. House of Weather, never.
- 23:11Speaker 14: Betting down the headges. It is because as you'd well
- 23:13Speaker 14: and truly know all that wet wood stuff's coming through.
- 23:17Speaker 14: We've got the rain and the strong easterlies rising to
- 23:20Speaker 14: gale tonight twenty one is the high.
- 23:22Speaker 2: Tie down your tramps exactly.
- 23:25Speaker 9: Have you got a trampoline?
- 23:26Speaker 2: No, I haven't got a trampoline. Good kids to have
- 23:28Speaker 2: a trampoline, don't you. Dangerous things trampolines not just when
- 23:32Speaker 2: they hit you if they're flying in a tornado, but
- 23:34Speaker 2: dangerous to jump on. Yeah, it's just terrible injuries.
- 23:38Speaker 14: Even as a child, I never like the trampoline.
- 23:40Speaker 2: No, not to crack the egg. Did you play Crack
- 23:42Speaker 2: the Egg?
- 23:42Speaker 5: Yes?
- 23:44Speaker 2: Fun? Thank you? Neva it is eighteen away from six year.

- 23:57Speaker 2: the cost of living the way it is, how much
- 24:00Speaker 2: do I actually need? Have I got enough? How long
- 24:03Speaker 2: will what I have last? These can be some confronting
- 24:06Speaker 2: questions for people, but you're not alone. Everyone thinks about this.

- 24:47Speaker 2: Fourteen to six on your talks there'd big Gavin gray
- 24:49Speaker 2: Are UK correspondent, Gavin good Morning either right now, there
- 24:52Speaker 2: is optimism, a little glimmer of hope that there might
- 24:55Speaker 2: be some sort of deal done, trade deal done between
- 24:58Speaker 2: yourselves and the America.
- 25:01Speaker 9: Yeah, let's just stress that word little glimmer of hope.
- 25:04Speaker 9: And that is because it came as part of a
- 25:06Speaker 9: wide ranging interview on a website called Unheard with JD Vance,
- 25:11Speaker 9: the US Vice President, and he said that a wide
- 25:15Speaker 9: ranging interview there was a good chance, for the words
- 25:18Speaker 9: he used, a trade deal could be reached with the UK.
- 25:21Speaker 9: Of course, this all comes as the dust continues to
- 25:25Speaker 9: settle and some fallout from America's global trade war or
- 25:29Speaker 9: trade tariff shake up anyway, and it looks like the
- 25:34Speaker 9: sort of ten percent baseline tariff which has now been
- 25:37Speaker 9: imposed on virtually everyone except China. And of course that
- 25:40Speaker 9: was where the UK was before the reassessment. So the
- 25:44Speaker 9: UK now hoping, wondering is this trade deal that's been
- 25:48Speaker 9: taking so long to actually negotiate since breakfast? Are we
- 25:52Speaker 9: finally there?
- 25:53Speaker 5: Well?
- 25:54Speaker 9: Government sources are saying making good progress it's understood this
- 25:57Speaker 9: deal would focus on more than just lowering the tower,
- 26:00Speaker 9: but also cover elements of trade in both goods and services.
- 26:04Speaker 9: And of course very interesting to note that the trade
- 26:06Speaker 9: imbalance between imports and exports from the UK going in
- 26:10Speaker 9: to the US very very similar. So in other words,
- 26:14Speaker 9: that is a good starting point and one minister's hope
- 26:16Speaker 9: we'll play into their hands.
- 26:18Speaker 2: And there are some good news on the front of
- 26:20Speaker 2: the British steel They are worried about the blast furnaces.
- 26:24Speaker 9: Yeah, I think this is going to be a huge
- 26:26Speaker 9: side of relief for ministers today because a consignment of
- 26:30Speaker 9: coking coal and iron ore have arrived from the US
- 26:34Speaker 9: the docks and are now being transported to British Steels
- 26:38Speaker 9: site in the East of England. The reason this is
- 26:41Speaker 9: so crucial is it means the blast furnaces can continue
- 26:44Speaker 9: to operate. It means that the UK can continue to
- 26:48Speaker 9: produce its own as it were, virgin steel steel made
- 26:52Speaker 9: from the raw ingredients rather than recycled metal steel, so
- 26:57Speaker 9: a much higher grade. And many have been saying we
- 26:59Speaker 9: have to continue to produce in this in the UK
- 27:02Speaker 9: run because we need it for our infrastructure and if
- 27:06Speaker 9: the pandemic orders. One thing, it's you need to be
- 27:08Speaker 9: able to make things yourself rather rely on others. And
- 27:12Speaker 9: of course the tariff as tariff introductions have continued to
- 27:15Speaker 9: stress that. Rather interestingly, now a separate shipment containing more
- 27:20Speaker 9: coking coal and iron ore is over or coming over
- 27:24Speaker 9: from Australia. It had been the subject of a legal
- 27:27Speaker 9: dispute between British Steel and its owners as Xingyi, the
- 27:31Speaker 9: Chinese owners. That has now been resolved, the British government
- 27:35Speaker 9: stepping in and effectively but all but in name, nationalizing
- 27:40Speaker 9: British Steel.
- 27:41Speaker 2: All right, Gevin, appreciate your time this morning. Devin Gray
- 27:43Speaker 2: are UK correspondent A living away from six right right
- 27:46Speaker 2: and Bridge Rich right. The government's very happy patting itself
- 27:49Speaker 2: on the back, although they did hasten to add that
- 27:52Speaker 2: these numbers are volatile. We won't get official numbers through
- 27:54Speaker 2: until June. But in terms of victims of crime, this
- 27:58Speaker 2: is the crime and victim of survey. They reckon. There
- 28:00Speaker 2: have been one hundred and fifty seven thousand victims of
- 28:03Speaker 2: crime in the year to February. The target was one
- 28:06Speaker 2: hundred and sixty five by twenty twenty nine. So on
- 28:09Speaker 2: these numbers targets twenty five thousand fewer by twenty twenty nine,
- 28:13Speaker 2: they're already at twenty eight thousand fewer. Does this stack up?
- 28:17Speaker 2: Dairy and Business Owners Group chairperson Manische Tucker is with
- 28:21Speaker 2: us this morning, Manish, good morning.
- 28:23Speaker 15: Good morning.
- 28:24Speaker 2: Good to have you on the I'm good, thank you.
- 28:26Speaker 2: Does this sound right to you? Minish?
- 28:29Speaker 15: Yes?
- 28:30Speaker 2: What are you saying?
- 28:34Speaker 8: Yes?
- 28:35Speaker 15: So, first of all, on behalf of the dairy and
- 28:40Speaker 15: honors across the country. I want to sincerely congregulate the
- 28:44Speaker 15: coalition governments for taking miniful staff to tackle the violence times.
- 28:52Speaker 2: So you think these numbers make sense? You're seeing less
- 28:55Speaker 2: violent crime in your in your.
- 28:57Speaker 15: Shops, yeah, number of financiers declient yeah. So according to
- 29:03Speaker 15: police data for the year ending thirty first January twenty
- 29:08Speaker 15: twenty five, retail assaults declined by two percent and the
- 29:13Speaker 15: first state seems a little bit modest number, but still
- 29:19Speaker 15: it is sixty eight Pewer crimes excellent.
- 29:23Speaker 2: What do you think is making the difference? Manish?
- 29:26Speaker 15: Yeah, it is making a lot different miss Yeah. Governments
- 29:30Speaker 15: still need to do more. We are still behind. Were
- 29:34Speaker 15: forty eight percent compared to nineteen twenty nineteen and twenty.
- 29:40Speaker 2: Well, it's a good thing. It's going in the right direction. Manisha,
- 29:42Speaker 2: appreciate your time this morning. Manishadaka, who is with the
- 29:46Speaker 2: dairy and business owners group, the Chapists, and they've just
- 29:49Speaker 2: gone nine minutes away.
- 29:50Speaker 1: From six Ryan Bridge.
- 29:51Speaker 2: Should you say this report yesterday on the chance of
- 29:54Speaker 2: a volcanic eruption in Auckland. There's been a couple of
- 29:57Speaker 2: these stories in the last few weeks and you just think,
- 29:59Speaker 2: what what do I do with this information? So yesterday's
- 30:02Speaker 2: story a ten percent chance of Auckland suffering a volcanic
- 30:06Speaker 2: eruption in the next fifty years could cost as much
- 30:10Speaker 2: as sixty five billion dollars in building damage. Ten percent
- 30:13Speaker 2: chance in the next fifty years. This is from a
- 30:17Speaker 2: discussion document. The Minister Mark Mitchells asked for a document
- 30:20Speaker 2: because he's making some changes. We had one last week
- 30:23Speaker 2: was it last week or the week before, and it
- 30:25Speaker 2: said there was a thirty to fifty percent chance of
- 30:28Speaker 2: Mount Tartanaki exploding inside the next fifty years. What do
- 30:32Speaker 2: you do with this information? Do you stay inside and
- 30:35Speaker 2: close the windows? I don't know. I suppose they need
- 30:38Speaker 2: to do these things for the you know, if they're
- 30:39Speaker 2: going to change the legislation around emergency management. Maybe they
- 30:43Speaker 2: need to, but honestly, you'd have more chances of being
- 30:46Speaker 2: struck by lightning. I would have thought eight to six
- 30:49Speaker 2: News talk, said, b will get to Mike next, the news.
- 30:52Speaker 1: You need this morning, and the in depth analysis early
- 30:55Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and one Room, make your Property search,
- 31:00Speaker 1: news talks.
- 31:01Speaker 2: It'd be news talks. He'd be good morning to you.
- 31:02Speaker 2: It's just gone six away from six, so there's some
- 31:05Speaker 2: heavy rain warnings. There's a storm coming. It's a tropical cyclone,
- 31:08Speaker 2: but it will apparently downgrade from a tropical cyclone by
- 31:11Speaker 2: the time it even gets close to us, and even
- 31:13Speaker 2: then it's not going to go over US, just close
- 31:15Speaker 2: to Cape danger winds and rain expected. Mike's here this morning.
- 31:18Speaker 16: Mike, I don't think you're taking that seriously enough. I
- 31:21Speaker 16: am saying everything to me, including the New Zealand Herald
- 31:25Speaker 16: and stuff in Radio New Zealand, have been building up
- 31:27Speaker 16: to this for three days now and now it started
- 31:29Speaker 16: on Monday, it built up yesterday and it's there. They
- 31:32Speaker 16: are in a frenzy as we speak.
- 31:34Speaker 2: Do you know why because it makes money, doesn't it?
- 31:37Speaker 2: I mean, do you think.
- 31:38Speaker 16: I'm assuming they've got metrics behind it that says every
- 31:41Speaker 16: time something's coming and somebody clicks.
- 31:42Speaker 2: Well, everyone is affected by the weather, so everybody clicks
- 31:45Speaker 2: on the story, and the more dramatic you make it sound,
- 31:47Speaker 2: the more clicks you get.
- 31:48Speaker 16: There's some I've done some analytics on it this morning.
- 31:51Speaker 16: There's a variance in reportage between wind speed of one hundred,
- 31:55Speaker 16: which is if you live in Wellington of course, nothing
- 31:57Speaker 16: more than a breezy day, if you're on the hill
- 31:59Speaker 16: in Kelbourne, up to one hundred and forty. We haven't
- 32:01Speaker 16: seen those, according to the met Service. We haven't seen
- 32:03Speaker 16: those sort of winds coming in from least for quite
- 32:05Speaker 16: a while.
- 32:05Speaker 2: Now. I did notice that. But are they talking wind
- 32:08Speaker 2: or are they talking gusts? These are very good questions
- 32:10Speaker 2: because wind is very different to gusts. You can have
- 32:13Speaker 2: gusts up to one hundred and forty we couldn't agree more,
- 32:15Speaker 2: which would be different to winds up to one hundred
- 32:17Speaker 2: and forty. But what about the fact.
- 32:18Speaker 16: That the wind hadn't come in from that angle for
- 32:21Speaker 16: a while. Well, that's what they were saying yesterday. I seriously,
- 32:25Speaker 16: I hadn't come in from this angle for a while.
- 32:27Speaker 16: So that meant that somehow a tree was going to
- 32:29Speaker 16: for I couldn't work it out. But it's the angle
- 32:31Speaker 16: of the wind along with the gusts slash sustained speed
- 32:34Speaker 16: either way.
- 32:35Speaker 2: Tie your trampolines down, well, that's well as.
- 32:38Speaker 16: Neva or you asked Neva, who's got a trampoline? How
- 32:40Speaker 16: many trampolines are there out there?
- 32:41Speaker 2: There's lots of trampolines around their leafy.
- 32:44Speaker 16: We had a beautiful, big trampoline in the country. And
- 32:47Speaker 16: what we got is we got a blow ground. And
- 32:49Speaker 16: you find these people in the country and you can
- 32:51Speaker 16: go around and say things like how are we going
- 32:54Speaker 16: to tie this down? And he would say something late,
- 32:56Speaker 16: leave it to me, mate, And so he brought around
- 32:59Speaker 16: these bees heavy metal hooks and with a massive mallet
- 33:03Speaker 16: and he smashed them into the ground. And we had
- 33:06Speaker 16: any number of these these weather alerts and events and
- 33:09Speaker 16: not didn't move once.
- 33:11Speaker 2: Well, absolutely fantastic. Needs hire a hobby, that's right.
- 33:14Speaker 16: And so when they say secure your trampoline, it can
- 33:17Speaker 16: be done and reasonably easily and for a very affordable price.
- 33:20Speaker 2: Well, we're doing too, because you don't want of those
- 33:22Speaker 2: flying into the neighbors do a grim moth.
- 33:24Speaker 16: And now as I speak to you about this, I
- 33:26Speaker 16: just I regret we have nothing on the program about
- 33:29Speaker 16: it this morning. It's not wall to wall coverage.
- 33:31Speaker 2: So it's say missed opportunity.
- 33:32Speaker 16: There's a missed opportunity. We're going to deal with crime, brilliant,
- 33:35Speaker 16: have a great show. Thank you, see tomorrow.
- 33:37Speaker 10: One Nay, maybe we dares get up a fufty she said,
- 33:43Speaker 10: this life forever, so here to get there, then let's
- 33:48Speaker 10: be OK.
