  Speaker 1: The agenda.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: It's Tuesday, the fourth of February. First to the Russian
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Ukraine War. UK President Takia Stamer has told us MPs
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: that Britain will play or will play a leading role
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: in securing peace. He says, if necessary, this could involve
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: boots on the ground and planes of the year. Meanwhile,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: French President Emmanuel Macran has suggested a partial one month
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: truce in Ukraine.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: It would be for a month, a truth that would
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: consist on a ceasefire on air sea and also with
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: regards to energetical installations, but the combats on the grounds
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: would potentially continue, and if this is respected, then we
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: would move to the second step of the plan, which
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: wouldn't pay of course, stopping all combats on the battlefield
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: and working on an agreeable keys deal.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Been driving into crowds again in Germany. One person has
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: been killed and several others injured after a car drove
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: into a crowd in the western city of Mannheim. Police
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: say a suspect has been arrested and people in the
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: city have been told to stay indoors. Police have not
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: specified whether the incident was deliberate or an accident, but
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: you know, Germany has experienced several of these attacks in
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: the past year.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: What we do know is that the car drove into
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: a crowd of people. We also know that Mannheim at
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: the moment is celebrating Carnival. Today in Germany is rosa
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: montag that needs sort of rose or pink Monday. It's
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: an important day in the carnival calendar. And there is
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: food stools in parts of Mannheim and fairground Rise.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: And finally to Los Angeles, and it was a historic
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: night at the Oscars yesterday. The night began with this
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: performance from Ariander Grande and Cynthia Rivo from the film Wicked.
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: There's no fight, we cannot will never bring us dumb.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Big song.
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: Eh.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: There were no slaps, there were no mix ups announcing
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: who's won which award, But it was the first time
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: an independent film won five awards. The romantic comedy An
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Order took home Best Actress for breakout star Mikey Madison,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: much to the shock of Demi Moore, and also a
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: record breaking four prizes for its director Sean Baker. And
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: here's a clip from Mikey Madison's acceptance speech.
• 3:38
  Speaker 7: This is a dream come true. I'm probably gonna wake
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: up tomorrow. I also just want to again recognize and
• 3:46
  Speaker 7: honor the sex worker community.
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: I will.
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: I will continue to support and be an ally all
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: of the incredible people, the women that I've had the
• 3:58
  Speaker 7: privilege of meeting from that community. Has been one of
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: the highlights of this incredible of this entire incredible experience.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: I'm sure she did wake up today. And finally, I'd
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: just like to apologize for the fact that I said
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: February when, of course it is now the fourth of March.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: But you know, this year is just going too quick.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: It's eleven after five.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Andrew Dickens and one roof Make
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Your Property Search Simple News Talk zid Bey.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I was shocked yesterday. There is no worse story than
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: the scandal around Wellington Water. Scathing reports released yesterday confirmed
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: that Wellington ratepayers have been ripped off for an unplanned
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: pipe maintenance, and they've been paying three times more than
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: other ratepayers in other cities. Wellington Water had few systems
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: in place to detect and prevent fraud. Chairban Nick Leggett
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: has apologized and offered to resign Meanwhile, the former CEO
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: has been vilified for a lack of oversight, and so
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: the public servants have rightfully got it in the neck.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: The structure of their system and the oversight has been
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: woefully negligent. But come on, at the root of the
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: matter are the people who had no qualms in ripping
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: off their fellow Wellington ratepayers. And talking about the contractors,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know how they live with themselves. They must
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: be known to their neighbors. Everyone now knows how they
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: make their money by fleecing the people of Wellington. We
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: now know where you got your batch. We now know
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: where you got your new ute that you're so proud of.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: And this is not the New Zealand way. We've always
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: prided ourselves in a relative lack of corruption in our
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: business community. But hello, and Wellington Water contractors have imagined
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: they're in the sopranos and they have merely roughted the
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: system for years and possibly laughed about it. Wellington Water
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: is being disestablished and their systems will be brought up
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: to speed for the new entity. But for the contractors
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: who have ripped their fellow citizens off, you should reconsider
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: your future and you should get out of business because
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: you are not to be trusted.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Dickens.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: We're going to talk to Anita Baker, the mayor of
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Poderua shortly on this in about ten minutes time. Hey,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: how about all these private spaceships landing on the Moon.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: You saw it on the telly last night on Sunday.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost ship touchdown and I've seen the
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: wonderful video of the view as it's skimmed across the
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: surface of the Moon. The Moon still looks like a
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: crater poked gravel pit, but it looked amazing on Thursday,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: and ai intuitive Lander will arrive. It'll be their second.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Their first landed back in February last year, but unfortunately
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: it toppled over it May. A Japanese company called ice
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Space is expected to land the air craft. So the
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: race is on, and that's a challenge to NASA and
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Elon Musk and their Artemis project. That project's very expensive,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: but it has the support of Donald Trump because he
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: wants to use it as a staging point to get
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: all the way to Mars. But all these competitors, these
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: private competitors getting to the Moon on the cheap is
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: giving the States the willy wobbles. The Chinese have talked
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: about a manned moon base by twenty thirty, and that's soon.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: And one US congressman is very worried about the Chinese,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: saying his greatest fear is that they will get to
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: the moon only to be greeted by a no trespassing
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: notice written in Amandarin.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens, it's by fourteen.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: So the government has given money into salmon farming. You
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: have to ask why and why couldn't the public set
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: to get in?
• 7:28
  Speaker 8: It's what how much?
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: It's about twelve million dollars. They reckon this will increase
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: exports by five hundred million. So if it's such a
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: good deal, where's the private money? Anyway? That's a good question,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: and I'll ask that of Gary Hooper, here is the
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: CEO of aquaculture in New Zealand. He's my guess. Next
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: here on NEWSTALKSB.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition Andrew Dickens
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: and one Roof Make Your Property Search Simple News Talk.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Zib it's sixteen past five. The government's betting our aquaculture
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: will go from strength to strength. That's putting on almost
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: twelve million dollars into salmon farming, mainly to expand it
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: to deep water and to prove that it all works.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: If it does, it's thought it could increase salmon exports
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: by five hundred million dollars. So Agriculture New Zealand CEO
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Gary Hooper has got up early for us. Good morning
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: to you.
• 8:16
  Speaker 9: Gary, Oh, good morning, Andrew, good morning.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: So tell me about deep water salmon farming and how
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: will this money help.
• 8:24
  Speaker 9: Well, I'm pleased. It was great news yesterday and of
• 8:27
  Speaker 9: course this is a good news water story in contrary
• 8:30
  Speaker 9: to what's happening in Wellington. It seems look a wonderful announcement.
• 8:35
  Speaker 9: Eleven point seven million CO invested in a program. It's
• 8:39
  Speaker 9: a five year program. The total program's twenty nine million
• 8:43
  Speaker 9: dollars in this with New Zealand King Salmon's Blue Endeavor
• 8:46
  Speaker 9: project in the top end just just off or seven
• 8:50
  Speaker 9: kilometers off the northern end of the Marlboro Sounds. And
• 8:54
  Speaker 9: it is a essentially proof of commercial pilot. And there's
• 8:58
  Speaker 9: three elements to it. Is the farming system, a new
• 9:03
  Speaker 9: freshwater hatchery using rast technology, recirculating aguaculture system technology, so
• 9:08
  Speaker 9: that's novel. And of course is the breeding components as
• 9:13
  Speaker 9: well to ensure we get the most resilient and productive
• 9:18
  Speaker 9: fish farms out there. The five hundred million dollar experts,
• 9:24
  Speaker 9: I think that's pretty conservative. When this system, when this
• 9:29
  Speaker 9: farm's up and running and there are others in the pipeline,
• 9:34
  Speaker 9: could be up to fifty or sixty thousand tons in total.
• 9:39
  Speaker 9: That would when it's all up and running, that would
• 9:41
  Speaker 9: be well in excess of a billion dollars. So I
• 9:45
  Speaker 9: think five hundred million by twenty thirty five that's probably conservative,
• 9:49
  Speaker 9: but also quite realistic.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Well, if you're saying twelve million from the government, thirty
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: million dollar investments, only a billion dollars coming in. If
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: it's such a good investment, hasn't the private sector been
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: getting stuck in?
• 10:03
  Speaker 9: So this is a pioneering activity and it's it's kind
• 10:09
  Speaker 9: of new anywhere. You know, the handful of countries that
• 10:13
  Speaker 9: are fortunate enough to be able to farm salmon because
• 10:15
  Speaker 9: of their you know, they have appropriate water conditions, et cetera.
• 10:18
  Speaker 9: Traditionally it's been in sheltered, enclosed waters. The move to
• 10:25
  Speaker 9: salmon farming, expansion of salmon farming, and New Zealand's not
• 10:28
  Speaker 9: the only country with ambitions, but likely future growth is
• 10:32
  Speaker 9: to be in the open water. Conditions are you know,
• 10:38
  Speaker 9: obviously more energized out there, and new systems need to
• 10:42
  Speaker 9: be developed to achieve that are not without Sorry, it
• 10:48
  Speaker 9: has its challenges, and look the reason the government is
• 10:52
  Speaker 9: getting behind it not only is that the export growth opportunity,
• 10:58
  Speaker 9: but the experience and the learnings, the you know, the
• 11:05
  Speaker 9: systems that will be developed can be passed on to
• 11:09
  Speaker 9: other entrants. And bear in mind one of the quite
• 11:16
  Speaker 9: unique situations that New Zealand has is any new aquaculture.
• 11:21
  Speaker 9: So any new aquaculture has a commercial mari commercial agriculture
• 11:27
  Speaker 9: settlement component. So in many ways e we are hardwired
• 11:30
  Speaker 9: into the opportunity and so that's kind of a unique
• 11:35
  Speaker 9: element too. And anything that we can help de risk
• 11:38
  Speaker 9: that and accelerate the development has to be a good thing.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Well, we love an increase in exports, don't we. Gary Hooper,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: who's from aquaculture in New Zealand, he's the CEO, thank
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: you so much for joining us. I am horrified, as
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: you already know, about what happened down in Wellington about
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: the water. So what's going to happen going forward? We're
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: going to talk to the plot of m mare in
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: just a moment. It's twenty past five.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens and One Roof to make your property search simple.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: You talk said be It is.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Five twenty two. So councils in Wellington are furious. I'm
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: furious with a new scathing report into Wellington Water, just
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: as we thought the agency couldn't get any worse. The
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: report found alleged theft, poor value for money from contractors,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: and major structural issues. In fact, it says the Lower
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: North Island rate payers have coughed up three times what
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: it should have cost to fix the pipes. So Anita
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Baker is the Polarua mayor and joins me now coccording
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: to you, Anita.
• 12:33
  Speaker 10: Good morning.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: How was this allowed to happen?
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: Not just bloody?
• 12:37
  Speaker 10: Is shocking the internal systems that Wellington Water with the
• 12:40
  Speaker 10: competitive tendering process a complete jackaup just just disgrace.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Let's remember that last year Wellington Water revealed a fifty
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: one million dollar budget error. Remember that, of course you do.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: It seems like the whole organization has been a clown show.
• 12:57
  Speaker 10: It certainly feels like that, and I have to think
• 13:00
  Speaker 10: the new ce pet Dockerty and netlegates are running this
• 13:03
  Speaker 10: report and finding out these processes. Once that new CEE
• 13:06
  Speaker 10: came into place, staff just came out of the woodwork
• 13:09
  Speaker 10: with the issues and we've been complaining about the pricing.
• 13:13
  Speaker 10: And this report is an absolute.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Eye open So staff knew about the issues.
• 13:18
  Speaker 10: Staff internally had problems and I think just didn't want
• 13:22
  Speaker 10: to come forward. You know, other people knew things. So
• 13:25
  Speaker 10: I think that organization has completely changed since pet Dockety
• 13:28
  Speaker 10: has taken over. We're certainly you know, the processes have
• 13:33
  Speaker 10: changed and they've got the even even though they didn't
• 13:37
  Speaker 10: have an IT system, For God's sake, how can do
• 13:39
  Speaker 10: you not have an IT system that pay roll and
• 13:42
  Speaker 10: everything else they were relying on contract.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Yes, perhaps they borrowed it because they didn't have enough
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: money to make their own.
• 13:49
  Speaker 10: Yes, it was never set up from the start. Wellington
• 13:51
  Speaker 10: Water was set up to fail from my point of
• 13:53
  Speaker 10: view all those years ago. Sure, and it has not
• 13:55
  Speaker 10: been done.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Should Nick le get step down his chair he's offered.
• 14:00
  Speaker 10: I personally don't think you should. We're a year out
• 14:02
  Speaker 10: from water reforms. Him and Pat are working exceptionally well together.
• 14:06
  Speaker 10: We're out for two new directors at the moment. Why
• 14:10
  Speaker 10: would you push someone who's just just revealed what we
• 14:14
  Speaker 10: wanted them to come out and tell us there was issues.
• 14:18
  Speaker 10: I just don't see why you chop the head off
• 14:19
  Speaker 10: something when they're working well as good as a team
• 14:22
  Speaker 10: and we need the processes in place to go forward
• 14:25
  Speaker 10: with water reforms. So personally, I can't see the point.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it, because it's not the problems, not
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: with the head, it's with what's happening at the base.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: So you pilot of a city, you're working with Hot City,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Upperhut City, Wellington City and Greater Wellington Regional Councils alongside
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: EWE Partners on a new model for water services delivery
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: and that new entity you're hoping to begin in July
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty six, is this under the local water done well?
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: And are you looking to pull your ability to borrow
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: more money so you can thanks the bloody pipes?
• 14:53
  Speaker 10: You're not wrong because we've got lots of pipes that
• 14:55
  Speaker 10: need faxing, So yes we are, and water done well
• 14:58
  Speaker 10: is the only way to SEXU and I think this
• 15:00
  Speaker 10: proves us.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Oh Anita, I thank you so much. I'm so sorry
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: and I thank you so much for your time today.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: It is shocking, absolutely shocking. It's five twenty six. I'll
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: tell what else was shocking. We get doctors coming into
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: this country and they want to work, but they can't
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: because they can't get training. But finally we've done something
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: about that. We'll talk about that next the Early.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Edition Full Show podcast on Ironheart Radio powered by NEWSTALKSB.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: News Talks B. It is now five twenty seven. So
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: here's a question for you. How did we manage to
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: bring in so many people to this country and get
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: fail to have enough doctors when we get there. This
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: is the question we've all asked every surge of immigration
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: we've ever had. There's been many surges of immigration.
• 15:43
  Speaker 8: I'm one.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: I came out in nineteen sixty five with my English
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: father and my Kiwi mum. There's been many more waves.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: We've had millions of people arrive in this country. Have
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: we had thousands of doctors arrive and start practicing as well?
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: No, we have not.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Every time we've opened the door, there seems to have
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: been attitude that will take the immigrants, labor, will take
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: their money. We'll take all the advantages, but ignore the
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: consequences of a bigger population. So Simeon Brown's announcement of
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: a faster a tract to qualifying overseas doctors who come
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: here is welcome and about time, because our immigration booms
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: have distorted our society. It swamped our motorways, it puts
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: strain on housing and infrastructure, and it crushed our service sector,
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: including doctors. Yet all the money and all the labor
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: made people think we had a rock star economy, but
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: that was artificial. If the economy is a rock star,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: how come you can't see a doctor. If you can't
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: see a doctor, is it really rocking? So congratulations to Simeon,
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: and congratulations to the government for putting some money in
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: because we need them. And finally we seem to be
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: realizing that if we bring in more people, we need
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: to look at the whole picture. Dickens, all right, I
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: might talk about Ukraine. Finally, it seems like everyone's going
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: to get what they want in the Ukraine Seas fire deal.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: So that's to come. This a big old cyclone heading Australia,
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: So Donald Demayo is on the way. We'll go right
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: around the country as well, and we'll talk to dr
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Angus Chambers about these changes to the doctors before six o'clock.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: This is Early Edition. I'm Andrew Dickens in for Ryan Bridge.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Thank you for choosing us.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: News and Views you trust to start your day. It's
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Early Edition with Andrew Dickens and one Ruth Make your
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: property search simple. You've talked, Sibby said together.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: That's a little size to what happened yesterday at the Oscars.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: It was a tribute to Bond. That's the Adel song
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: being performed by the British singer Ray. That is a
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: sky fall. It was a wonderful tribute to Bond. However
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: a little bit of sweet really, you have to say,
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: because Bond has been brought by Amazon and its future
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: is uncertain. So there were some people going, yeah, yeah,
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: this is nice. But at the same time, what is
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: going to happen to James Bond in the future. But
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: that's a great question. It is twenty three to six
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: now some Texan on Wellington Jack reckins. The police should
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: be called it and people held to account in Wellington.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Roy says, if you talk to any competent plumbing company,
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: they knew that there was a huge walk going on
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: in Wellington. Well why didn't they blow the whistle. I
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: have to say now on my comments about the doctors
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: and immigration and the rock star economy, we've got a
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: text here that says rock star economy only ever a
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: pathetic media expression and never close to reality. The media
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: in general should be ashamed. Well, I know exactly who
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: said rockstar economy and it was a guy called Paul Bloxham.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: And I know this because I've spoken to him about it,
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: and he is the senior economist at HSBC in Sydney
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: and an expert on New Zealand. And he was the
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: one who said rockstar economy. And you know what the
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: media did, Shame on us. We reported it.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens twenty three to six.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Le's go around the country. Calum bruct good morning to
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: you morning, Andrew. So there was a murder at Lake
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Harware and now a man is in court.
• 19:27
  Speaker 11: That's right, charged with murdering his wife at this property.
• 19:30
  Speaker 11: He will reappear in court today, a case which has
• 19:34
  Speaker 11: a lot of attention here. Andrew's sixty year old Karen
• 19:36
  Speaker 11: White was found dead at her home almost a year
• 19:38
  Speaker 11: ago to the day. Police launched a homicide investigation. Eight
• 19:42
  Speaker 11: months later, last November, her husband's sixty one year old
• 19:46
  Speaker 11: Robert White lost name suppression at a court appearance last month.
• 19:50
  Speaker 11: He's pleaded not guilty to the murder charge and reappears
• 19:53
  Speaker 11: in the Cargoles High Court today.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: All right, how's your weather?
• 19:57
  Speaker 11: Early showers clear, but then return this afternoon some maybe
• 20:00
  Speaker 11: heavy the heights of Day eighteen.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Claire Sherwood joins us in Christier Tella Claire.
• 20:05
  Speaker 8: Hello, Claire, good morning.
• 20:07
  Speaker 12: Can you hear me?
• 20:08
  Speaker 9: I can?
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Indeed? Gee, I wish I was in Christich. Actually I
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: saw on the telly the building the squash court at
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: the Isaac Royal for the Squash Championships New Zealand Squash Championships.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: It looks awesome.
• 20:17
  Speaker 13: It does look awesome. Andrew, look, this is really special
• 20:20
  Speaker 13: for the city. We've got, of course, that iconic Isaac
• 20:22
  Speaker 13: Theatre Royal and it's hosting the New Zealand Squash Open
• 20:25
  Speaker 13: for the next six days. So that glass court has
• 20:28
  Speaker 13: been fitted out on the stage of the theater for
• 20:31
  Speaker 13: this inaugural event. The theatre's chief executive, Greg Ward has
• 20:35
  Speaker 13: told us they're still focused on performing arts, but also
• 20:38
  Speaker 13: on reaching a broader audience, and this is one of
• 20:40
  Speaker 13: the ways to do that. He says this is the
• 20:42
  Speaker 13: sort of event that will open the door to many
• 20:44
  Speaker 13: people who may not have been to the theatre before,
• 20:47
  Speaker 13: or not seen it in this light anyway. He says
• 20:50
  Speaker 13: there is the potential for more sporting events like this
• 20:52
  Speaker 13: to take place in the future.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Yes, a nice seats at a really good snack bar
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: and a great place to watch sports squash and I
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: understand the final session almost sold out. So there we go.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: How's your weather, Well, it's.
• 21:02
  Speaker 13: Pretty miserable here today. Rain will clear to occasional showers
• 21:06
  Speaker 13: a bit later. South westerlies as we make our way
• 21:08
  Speaker 13: to sixteen.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Next toll joins us from Willington.
• 21:11
  Speaker 8: Hellm X, Good morning.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Got a new rainbow crossing?
• 21:14
  Speaker 14: Yeah, so a Wellington's Pride Festival begins this week. We
• 21:18
  Speaker 14: have been and still are a very gay friendly city.
• 21:22
  Speaker 14: There's a rainbow crossing on Cuba Street, of course. And
• 21:24
  Speaker 14: now what's just appeared is a smaller but still very
• 21:28
  Speaker 14: noticeable crossing in the suburb of Brempoor and it's actually
• 21:32
  Speaker 14: in the colors of the trans flag. We assume the
• 21:34
  Speaker 14: council had installed it. So went to them. At first
• 21:36
  Speaker 14: they said, well, firstly it wasn't them. Instead a piece
• 21:40
  Speaker 14: of a gorilla art, so they will have to remove
• 21:43
  Speaker 14: it in line with their graffiti policy, which is fair enough.
• 21:46
  Speaker 14: Then a spokesperson told us in a follow up email,
• 21:49
  Speaker 14: hang on hold a tick on that one. Someone was
• 21:53
  Speaker 14: clearly deliberating or weighing in. We waited a few hours
• 21:56
  Speaker 14: and then it was confirmed, Yes, this crossing will be removed.
• 22:00
  Speaker 14: We don't yet know who painted it, and it puts
• 22:02
  Speaker 14: the council in a tricky spot because obviously it doesn't
• 22:04
  Speaker 14: want to be seen as bigoted by removing a transcolored
• 22:08
  Speaker 14: rainbow crossing. But at the same time, last year, when
• 22:11
  Speaker 14: pro Palestine graffiti appeared, there was a push by the
• 22:14
  Speaker 14: mayor and others to keep it around the city as
• 22:17
  Speaker 14: a form of art, despite that being against the council's policy.
• 22:21
  Speaker 14: So we'll see if there's any pushback here.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: How's your weather?
• 22:24
  Speaker 14: It should be terrible today. Shawer's turning to rain, possibly
• 22:28
  Speaker 14: thundery this afternoon with strong southerly's.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Never read amano from Walkinhello meetings. So you've got details
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: about a cold case murder, yes, this.
• 22:36
  Speaker 12: Cold case, So police hoping the public can shed some
• 22:39
  Speaker 12: light on this cold case murder of a man described
• 22:42
  Speaker 12: as a typical WESTI Now it's Brett Fraser. He died
• 22:45
  Speaker 12: at the hands of intruders at a property in West
• 22:47
  Speaker 12: Hawkin's Colston. This happened in twenty fourteen. Now police are
• 22:51
  Speaker 12: now offering a one hundred thousand dollars reward for any
• 22:53
  Speaker 12: information leading to the capture of the fifty one year
• 22:56
  Speaker 12: old's killers. His former partner, that's Michelle Manson. Now she's
• 23:00
  Speaker 12: told TV one's Cold Case this was extra hard really
• 23:03
  Speaker 12: because he seemed to be more motivated to break out
• 23:05
  Speaker 12: of his bad habits. And she says it was just
• 23:08
  Speaker 12: said that he died just as he was looking to
• 23:09
  Speaker 12: get his life back together. So if you've got any
• 23:12
  Speaker 12: information from this cold case back in twenty fourteen, contact
• 23:14
  Speaker 12: the police.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: How's the weather cloudy?
• 23:16
  Speaker 12: Isolated, Charles aroal midday, becoming frequently heavy for a time
• 23:19
  Speaker 12: in the evening, not as.
• 23:20
  Speaker 8: Cold as the South Island. Twenty four is the high
• 23:22
  Speaker 8: today in Auckland's.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: And I thank you. It is now eighteen minutes to six.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: I'm just watching Sekia Stana. He's talking to the British
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Parliament right now. He says that Britain will leave from
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: the front in the Ukraine. He's also gone out and
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: to say the minerals deal would never have provided enough
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: security for Ukraine, which is why Britain and Europe has
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: to stand up. You know what, whether it's by luck
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: or design, everyone seems to be getting what they want
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: in this Ceasfare deal. As Zelenski has said yesterday, he
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: will sign the minerals deal because he finally got some
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: security guarantees. But he got those guarantees from Europe. Now, Europe,
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: they were kicked into action by Trump and Vance's bullying
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: of Zelenski. Maybe that was America's plan, Maybe it wasn't.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: I don't care. It worked, Europe stepped up. Now America
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: gets its minerals but loses well respect.
• 24:06
  Speaker 8: But there we go.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: And while I understand America's view on a commercialized DMZ
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: bringing peace to Ukraine, the idea would never have held water.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: That's what Kirstarma just said, because it takes time to
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: launch the mining and even once it starts, there's no
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: telling it'll be whether it'll be economic, whether the companies
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: will be there, whether they will prevent Russia from invading.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: That's why Zelenski needed something more concrete, just to feel safe,
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: and presumably Putin will get some Ukrainian land, but Ukraine
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: won't keep its twenty fourteen borders. And anyway, Putin's going
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: to sit there and platter his next Foray, and there
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: will be another Foray. Ukraine was the home of a
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: ARUs people who form the Russian nation, and he wants
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: it back. It's in his heart, it's in his soul,
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: it's his grad mission. Even if Ukraine has moved on,
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: Putin wants it back. So this is a war that
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: will echo on into the future. God bless all of
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: those who find themselves in the middle of it. We'll
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: talk more overseas stuff with Donald Demayev from Australia.
• 25:00
  Speaker 9: Next.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: It's coming up sixteen to.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Six International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: And we now crossed to Australia. Donna to my all.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: The time, by the way, is fourteen to six. Hello Donna.
• 25:16
  Speaker 9: Hello.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: So we've got a prominent ex football player who's joined
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: a class action against the AFL, the National Football League.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: This alleged that he's alleging racial abuse.
• 25:27
  Speaker 15: Yes, well, we already knew that the AFL was facing
• 25:31
  Speaker 15: legal action, but now we know that this prominent former
• 25:33
  Speaker 15: player has joined the class action. Lawyers have confirmed that
• 25:37
  Speaker 15: its former since killed a star and I'm calling him
• 25:41
  Speaker 15: a true, true superstar of the footy world. Nicki Winmar.
• 25:45
  Speaker 15: Now he's joined the action, and this is very significant.
• 25:48
  Speaker 15: The AFL is being sued by indigenous players, including Phil
• 25:51
  Speaker 15: and James Cracker. Now this it's alleged they suffered injury,
• 25:55
  Speaker 15: loss and damage after the organization failed to protect them
• 25:59
  Speaker 15: from racial abuse. Now Windma is now fifty nine years old,
• 26:03
  Speaker 15: but it was about three decades ago. I think it
• 26:05
  Speaker 15: was nineteen ninety three. In fact, he was at the
• 26:07
  Speaker 15: center of an iconic moment and it's still discussed to
• 26:10
  Speaker 15: this day. And he was on the field and he
• 26:13
  Speaker 15: lifted his footage jumper and he pointed to his skin
• 26:17
  Speaker 15: while he was being racially abused by opposition team fans.
• 26:21
  Speaker 15: He was playing Collingwood at the time, so killed her
• 26:24
  Speaker 15: versus Collingwood. Now there's an unspecified number of Indigenous players
• 26:29
  Speaker 15: in the class action, and now we know that Nicki
• 26:31
  Speaker 15: Winmar has joined it. They've been given two months to
• 26:34
  Speaker 15: build the case.
• 26:35
  Speaker 8: And I will add that it was in.
• 26:37
  Speaker 15: Twenty twenty three that Collingwood. I'm going to say finally
• 26:41
  Speaker 15: apologized to Winma.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Okay, now you've got a tropical cyclone getting close to
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Queensland and it's called Alfred.
• 26:48
  Speaker 15: Yes, brace yourselves Queensland residents, because it's due to landfall
• 26:53
  Speaker 15: this week sometime on Thursday or Friday. Brisbane might even
• 26:57
  Speaker 15: feel the brunt of this tropical cyclone. And of course
• 27:00
  Speaker 15: there's the possibility of destructive wings and life threatening flash flooding.
• 27:05
  Speaker 15: Now it could be upgraded to a category to eighty minute,
• 27:09
  Speaker 15: and of course if it maintains that intensity as it
• 27:11
  Speaker 15: approaches the southeast Queensland coast, it could do quite a
• 27:16
  Speaker 15: lot of damage. In fact, we've heard from the Bureau
• 27:18
  Speaker 15: of Minteorology issuing a warning that there could be house damage,
• 27:22
  Speaker 15: significant damage to trees and signs and caravans. Of course,
• 27:26
  Speaker 15: there's the risk of power failure and the even fearing
• 27:29
  Speaker 15: that there could be some damage to crops. Wings gus
• 27:31
  Speaker 15: up to one hundred and sixty four kilometers per hour.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Okay, it's been a fairly calm somemer. You have to say, really,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: but here we go, here we go, Here we go.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Donna Demayo, I thank you said very much. It's eleven
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: to six. So the new Health Minister, Simeon Brown, has
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: begun making moves to try and save our deteriorating healthcare system.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: So yesterday he announced two hundred and eighty five million
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: dollars in performance based funding for GPS, a new twenty
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: four to seven digital service, and an additional one hundred
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: place for overseas trained doctors. So to talk us through
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: all of this, we've got Jempro chaired doctor Angus Chambers
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: with me. Hello, Angus, good morning. Is just what you
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: were having to get.
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: Look, it's a good start. We applaud the efforts to
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: address the what is basically crisis in general practice, but
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: I'm not quite sure if it's going to achieve what
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: they want want it to.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what's this performance based funding for GPS? How would
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: that increase primary care? Yeah?
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: Well, look it's talented as you know. Funding that will
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: decrease the wait time to see GPS. Government commissioned an
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: independent body to kind of serve a GP and report
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: back to us and it found there's basically a gap
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: about one hundred and thirty seven million dollars a year
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: and this is on data five years old.
• 28:49
  Speaker 9: It needed to.
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: Enable general practice deliver what it needs to. So this
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: is basically ninety five million dollars a year. Probably the
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: figure that was one hundred and thirty seven is close
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: to two hundred now, so it's maybe about half of
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: what's needed. And then the performance based funding is quite
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: concerning and general practices, iiron large independent businesses performing extremely well.
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: Now if you let's say, the one of the big
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: issues is the closed books. So if you put there's
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: a part of your performance, and practices open their books
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: to get more money, so there's no extra workforce, there
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: more patients going in, the wait time is going to
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: get longer. So it's not quite clear until we see
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: the detail of the performance at money, how it's going
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: to play out.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: It could possibly incentivize them just to slam their way
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: through clients quicker.
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: Well, I think private business does that anyway. That's that's
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: that's why general practice that's quite efficient because there's a
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: business imperative. But I don't think gps are actually lazy
• 29:51
  Speaker 6: and sort of sitting around having captive tea and champagne.
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: They're actually head down working really hard. And by the way,
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: when you when you when you spend your day seeing patients,
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: you've still got several outs at the end of the
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: day that you need to do the paperwork.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: So yeah, not not clear, Yeah exactly, But it's still
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: performance based funding, so they're going to be ranked whether
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: they like it or not. Now, look, we all know
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: doctors who have come here who can't work because we
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: didn't provide enough training opportunities. One hundred placements for overseas
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: trained doctors will come into place. How did we ever
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: allow that imbalance to happen while we had high immigration figures.
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: Look, I don't know. We're pleased to see it happen.
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: It will make some difference. It's going to take a
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: bit of time. It's got a lot of work that
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: goes into getting those doctors to the place that they
• 30:36
  Speaker 6: need to be to deliver care to New Zealand's population.
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: You'd have to ask the workforce planners about that. There's
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: been abject failure in workforce planning in our system for
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: quite a long time. We've been warning for almost two
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: decades of the crunch of retiring gps and impoundered by
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: the fact that people are leaving the profession of some conditions.
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: So I think of as a question better addressed to
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: the workforce planners the answer so I don't know.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, but you know what people say. They go, well,
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: you've got an English doctor who decides to come to
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: New Zealand and make a new life. They come here
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: and then they're told they can't they can't actually do
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: any services for us for at least two years. They've
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: got to go through a training placement if they can
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: actually find a room there. And everyone says, well, hold on,
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: and English body is just the same as New Zealand bodies.
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that's where I think you might have
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: this wrong. The English doctors are able to come and
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: practice like that, although we would like this, obviously, bureaucracy
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: is so that these doctors are outside of jurisdictions that
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: are recognized by the Medical Council. So yeah, we're absolutely
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: propped by and popped up by English doctors who've got
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: a fantastic contribution by English doctors. So I got going.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: I admitted I got my metaphor wrong, but you know
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: what I mean. A body's a body, a doctor's a doctor.
• 31:48
  Speaker 8: But there we go.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Now we've got one hundred extraplacement for overseas training doctors
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: to go in and find out how to be a
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: New Zealand doctor and that is a good thing. Don't
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: they ever look a gift horse in the mouth. It
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: is seven to six.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Andrew dickens all Afili edition with one roof Make Your

• 32:08
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's now five to six. On the Wellington water scandal.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: Earlier today I talked about the contractors and the people
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: who fleeced the Wellington right players and I compared them
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: to the Sopranos with their war of public money. And
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: I've had a text from Roy saying Andrew, I wouldn't
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: call them the Sopranos. The Sopranos is a great show,
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: not a bunch of neglecting wreckers. They can't even fix
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: water fair point. What's horrified me most this morning was
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: hearing from Anita Baker, the part of Mayor, who said
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: that staff came forward to the inquiry because they knew
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: that there was already a problem. And Bruce has sent
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: me a text saying, anybody who's been part of pipes
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: in Wellington, any plumber, could have told you for years
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: that there was a huge walk going on and yet
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: nothing happened. So ierhaps see something will happen Mike Costkin, good,
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: wouldn't you.
• 32:52
  Speaker 8: Very good morning? Best thing? Yesterday? It was one of
• 32:55
  Speaker 8: those things I thought to myself, why haven't we done
• 32:57
  Speaker 8: this years ago?
• 32:58
  Speaker 16: So this health thing where you get more doctors and
• 33:00
  Speaker 16: nurses and things like that, all of that's fine. But
• 33:03
  Speaker 16: this idea that you can go online using the internet
• 33:08
  Speaker 16: and you can get yourself a script at eleven o'clock
• 33:10
  Speaker 16: at n I've always I've never understood why people get
• 33:14
  Speaker 16: so precious about that sort of thing. If you've been
• 33:16
  Speaker 16: on pills for twenty years or whatever the case may be,
• 33:18
  Speaker 16: it's just another script, you know what I mean.
• 33:19
  Speaker 8: So if you can get to a nurse or a
• 33:21
  Speaker 8: doctor at eleven o'clock or ten o'clock or seven fifteen
• 33:23
  Speaker 8: that night.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: My doctor has managed my health portal. And I've been
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: taking bood pressure of medication since i was twenty because
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: I've inherited it from a mum bless and I just
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: go on and just get a repeat on that, and
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: it turns up at the pharmacy the next day my doctor.
• 33:39
  Speaker 8: I'm went to the doctor the other day. First of all,
• 33:40
  Speaker 8: I have no problem getting to the doctor.
• 33:42
  Speaker 16: Second of all, the place I go to is hiring
• 33:45
  Speaker 16: doctors and has doctors and has their books open.
• 33:48
  Speaker 8: So if you ask me, there is no problem. So
• 33:52
  Speaker 8: is there a problem or not?
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: I think we're just to disorganize people some of us.
• 33:56
  Speaker 9: Is that what it is?
• 33:56
  Speaker 8: I don't know anyway, So we'll talk to bet.
• 33:58
  Speaker 16: If I knew the answers to your question, well, that
• 34:00
  Speaker 16: is I run the country. That's true, which I show
• 34:02
