  Speaker 1: The issues, the interviews and the inside. Francesca Ruggin on
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: earlier show with One Route Love where You Live, News Talk,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: sa'd be good morning, Welcome.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: To early edition. I'm Francisca Rudkins filling in for Ryan
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: who's on Drive this week. I hope your week is
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: going well. Good to have you with us. You're most
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: welcome to contact me anytime this morning. You inflict me
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: a text on ninety two to ninety two my email
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: at Francesca at NEWSTALKZB dot co dot nz. On the
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: show today, the Augrand Council decision to press on with
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: housing zone changes, we look at whether a new portable
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: concussion device on the Rugby sideline actually works, and before
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: the end of the hour, we find out what economists
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: think of the new Reserve Bank governor.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: The agenda.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: It's Thursday, the twenty fifth of September, and starting in
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: the US, two people are dead after a suspected sniper
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: attack at a Texas immigration facility. The gunman is also
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: dead from a self inflicted gunshot wound. The motive is unknown,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: but it comes after a string of attacks on I
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: sight across the US.
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: This is the.
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: Second time I've had to stand in front of you
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: and talk about a shooter at one of my facilities.
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: And I think that the takeaway from all of this
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: is that the rhetoric has to stop. There are people
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: out there who are seeing what is being placed online
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: and they're coming and they're doing acts of violence against
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: ICE employees.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Zelensky's been addressing the U in General Assembly. He says
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Putin will keep driving the Ukraine war wider and deeper
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: unless he has stopped.
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: And as Russia's war against my country goes on, people
• 1:41
  Speaker 6: are still dying every week. Yet there is no ceasefire
• 1:46
  Speaker 6: because Russia refuses. Russia abducted thousands of Ukrainian children, and
• 1:52
  Speaker 6: we have brought some of them back, and I think,
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: I think everyone who's helped, but how long will it
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: take to bring all of them home?
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Meanwhile, Trump has shifted his position on the Russia Ukraine war,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: saying for the first time that Ukraine could win all
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: of its land back. Typhoon Regasa has slammed into southern China,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: forcing nearly two million evacuations at least seventeen a dead
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: in Taiwan after several flooding. Severe flooding earlier in the week.
• 2:22
  Speaker 7: The authorities have taken it extremely serious, calling it the
• 2:26
  Speaker 7: King of Storms. And as we went around meeting people,
• 2:29
  Speaker 7: most said, look, we're not afraid. We are ready because
• 2:32
  Speaker 7: we are used to dealing with these kinds of typhoons,
• 2:36
  Speaker 7: but this one certainly is the strongest.
• 2:38
  Speaker 8: Of the year.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Regasa was downgraded from a super to a severe typhoon,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: but it remains highly destructive with winds setting two hundred
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: and forty k's per hour. And that's the.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Agenda on your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: with Francesca Rudkin and one roof Love where you Live
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: News Talk.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Said me, so yesterday we spoke about the murder of
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: the Boardroom survey, and look, you can take the survey
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: with a grain of salt of your life if you're
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: but if you're a government that is all about growth
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: and economy, I'd think you'd have a quick glance at
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: the feedback from the country's biggest business leaders and take
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: it on board. It wasn't like they were completely off
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: the mark. And that's what I think Finance Minister Nikola
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Willis did. But apparently, as I learned on Newstalks e'dbs
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Drive last night, there was a bit of a fense
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: taken by those in business over comments the Finance Minister
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: made in response to the survey results. And it was
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: the bit when she said to Mike Cosking yesterday morning
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: that the survey was the opinion of one hundred and
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: fifty people and she serves five million people and needs
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: to consider a broader range of interests, including semes. I
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: think we might be getting a little bit over sensitive hair.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: I listened to that whole conversation and thought she was
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: very accepting of the survey results. She said, and I'm paraphrasing,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: she's interested in what people have to say. She always
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: studies her report card hard and strives to be better,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: and took responsibility for the economy and the fact we
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: haven't seen the recovery we all expect. I'm not sure
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: how else she's expected to respond. Prime Minister Christopher Luxon
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: also said he was focused on more than just the
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: people who responded to the survey and shrugged off concerns
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: about his leadership. But surely, somewhere after more average feedback nationally,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: MPAs are starting to worry about just how much longer
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: they can keep shrugging. Francisco Hey we're heading into a
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: weekend of rugby. The All Blacks are going to be
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: back with a vengeance against the Aussie side that will,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: no doubt believe the All Blacks have some vulnerabilities. Early
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: kickoff five oh five pm on Saturday, Eden Park. The
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: All Blacks team will be announced today at twelve to
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: fifteen pm and of course news talks will be will
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: be all across that and then the Black Ferns are
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: playing for bronze later that night at eleven thirty our time.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: So we've got a great weekend of rugby head But
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: for all that we love rugby, we want this game
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: to be as safe as possible and we can't keep
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: ignoring the lasting impact head knocks and concussions can have
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: on players. So is this new portable concussion device that
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: checks the concussion on the side lie sideline going to
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: be any use? Is it going to be a game
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: changer when it comes to protecting and looking after our
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: rugby and league players a little bit better? We are
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: going to find out shortly. But up next to Phil
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Goff on Auckland Council's housing decision, it is eleven past five.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: News and Views you trust to start your day. It's
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: early edition with Francesca Rudkin and one roof love where
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: you live news talks. That'd be good morning.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: It is fourteen past five, right. Bigger, taller and newer
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: buildings are on the way for Auckland. After a seven
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: hour long meeting, the council voted to move ahead with
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: a plan which would see ten to fifteen story buildings
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: dotted around the city's rail stations. The motion one eighteen
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: to five over the current rules, which allows medium density
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: housing up to three stories anywhere in the wider city.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Phil Goff is the former mayor of Auckland, and he
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: joins me, now, thanks for your time, Phil, Good morning.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, good morning Francesca.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Do you think this was the right decision for the
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: council to mate?
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was definitely the better of the two alternatives.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: The plan change that a combination of both Labor and
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: National foisted on the council a couple of years back,
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: which was Plan Change seventy eight, said that almost anywhere
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: in Auckland, you'd be able to take a normal section,
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: divide it into three and put three story buildings on
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: each part. Each new section that you created, and you
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: can see some of those sort of developments around the
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: city already. The big problem with that was that that
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: applied even where there wasn't good public transport services. And
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: when you take the average sized section and you put
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: effectively three properties on it of three stories, you don't
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: leave much room for parking. People park on the roads
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: and you go into some areas and I immediately think
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: of flat Bush and when people are home from work,
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: you literally cannot drive down the street because it's parking
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: on both sides of the street. So PC seventy eight
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: was a dumb idea forced on the council by government.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: This gives Auckland a little more option and it says
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: that first of all, you can down zone flood prone
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: areas and that's common sense and that should have happened.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: And secondly, an area is where you've got transport to hubs.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: You know, for example the city rail link, and would
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: have been around the light rail had that been allowed
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: to go ahead. You can build high The higher you go,
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: the more green space you can create around the high
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: rise buildings. So rather than sausage flats everywhere, you can
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: create some real density and areas that have good transport
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: and other infrastructure and when you go higher, you can
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: also create a commensurate amount of green space, park playgrounds,
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: and those sort of things that make a city a
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: good place to live.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: So Phil, what about You know, we've got residents across
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: the city, including in places like Saint Mary's, in a
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: city they're worried about the character of the city. Are
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: they concerns valid or have they just bring them.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: These look to a degree that well, it's a little
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: bit of both, to tell you the truth, I think
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: you've got the opportunity to do overlays and to protect
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: areas that are of historic character and value. And frankly,
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm in favor of that. I don't want
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: to see a city that's blanned and that's lost all
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: of its history. And you've got some beautiful streets of
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: the old turn of the century, turn of the nineteenth century,
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: twenty century villas, and I'd like to see those preserved
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: to give some character to the city as well. So
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: there's a potential to do that. Where those areas have
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: already been degraded because you've got different types of housing
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: in them, then you're probably not going to have the
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: protection of those areas. And if people sell their villa.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: The developer can then move in if it's not an
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: overlay of protection and develop there. You know, Look, I
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: don't want to make light of it. I recall going
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: to Brisbane actually one time, and I've got a niece
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: living there. She's in a one story bungalow and right
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: next to her she has a six story building, you know,
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: and it's kind of it's that sort of transitional development
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: does make for difficult living for people that wanted to
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: live in a traditional way. So I think there are
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: areas that you should choose deliberately to protect. But you
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: cannot have nimbiism just because you're a wealthy person living
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: in a leafy suburb. If you're living in an area
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: where it doesn't have that degree of character, and you are,
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: you know, right next to a railway station or within
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: several hundred meters of it, but I think you've got
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: to expect to see that high rise development. You know,
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: when I ran in twenty sixteen, for me the first time,
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: I said we had to go up as a city
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: and out because there were so many planning restrictions, that
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: land was so hard to get that you were getting
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: rapid movement in prices if you've got plenty of land
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: to develop, then you can this one factor in helping
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: keep prices down and giving a fair go for the
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: first time buyer.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Phil God thanks so much for your time this morning.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Appreciate your thoughts. It is eighteen past five.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: analysis earlier this year with Francesca Rudkin and One Room
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Love Where You Live news talks, that'd be.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Twenty one past five, right. Could this be the end
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: of concussions as we know it? A new portable med
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: tech device from the company in Eurotech claims it has
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: the ability to diagnose concussions on the sideline in just
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: two minutes. Doctor Doug King is a sports injury research
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: specialist and he's with me now. Good morning, Doug, Thanks
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: for your.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: Time, Good morning.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Okay, do you think this is legit?
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: I think that the concept of legit the research backing
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: it isn't.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Okay. So this tech has been approved by the FDA
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: in America. If their stamp isn't good enough, why would.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: That be the FDA that says that it's not going
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: to hurt you? It doesn't say that it's been researched
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: and it doesn't say it's been validated.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: How easy is it for a human to detect concussion
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: on a sideline?
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: It's not.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: It's it's one of the most complex things you can
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: try and detect. People that have never had a concussion
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: don't even know they've actually suffering the symptoms.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: So what do we need tech to do? How would
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: this particularly how does this claim to work?
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: This is claiming to work that it uses a signal
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: that is sent through to the eyes and detect at
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: the back of the head what you do with an EEG.
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: The problem is that the research that was done out
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: of Waka University last year by a PhD student identify
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: that and I quote, no evidence was found to support
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: neurocheck's use in the assessment or management for concussion in
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: rugby athletes.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: Okay, so we really do just need to stick with
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: the the human plan at the moment.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, the science is there, the concept is
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: in there, it's just that we haven't got to that
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: point yet.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: So it could be realistic at some point in the future.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: Most definitely, But as it currently stands, no.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Okay, is there aside from what we're currently doing. If
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: this isn't the solution to solving a you know, this
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: increase in concussion injuries. We're seeing what else could be.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: Well, they're doing blood tests at the moment. We've just
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: commenced that through the hospital here in the Hut and
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: through aut University, and we're looking to see whether that
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: is viable. I mean, there's a lot of stuff going
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: on worldwide to look at how we can detect it
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: other than someone coming up and saying I think they
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: have a concussion. So the work is going on. We're
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: just not at the finish line yet to.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Say yes, this is it soniw Dennant Rugby says that
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: they'll proceed with caution using this tech. Should they not
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: at least give it a go or do you think
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: it's waste of time?
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: Well, if they're to receive a caution, then I would
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: be asking what research they've seen or what research they're
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: going to do, because I think too based on searching
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: through all the databases that I did last night, there
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: wasn't anything published talking specifically of this technology that is
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: specific to euro Check.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Thanks so much for your thoughts, Doug, appreciate that. Well,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: there we go. I thought that was going to be
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: a winner, but maybe not quite yet but hopefully sometimes
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: near in the future. Up next, my thoughts on the
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: direction of Auckland housing. It's twenty four past five.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: The early edition full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: by News.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: Talks at Me.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Okay, so it was a big day at Auckland Council
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: yesterday and I think a good day. The Policy and
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Planning Committee met for most of yes day to thrash
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: out the future of Auckland's housing, debating where and how
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Auckland is going to plan for more homes, and the
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Council voted eighteen to five to discard the PC seventy
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: eight and notify the PC one twenty or vote for
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: the PC one twenty, which basically means the three story
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: townhouse is seen increasingly all over Auckland. Suburbs are on
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: the way out, and the high rises and greater intensification
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: around key CRL stations and transport corridors are in. This is,
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: of course, highly contentious and where you lean in the
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: debate may depend on what neighborhood you live in. Residents
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: of wealthy inner city suburbs like Mount Eden, Parnell, Herne
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Bay and Green Bay will likely have reservations about more
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: high rise apartments in their neighborhoods, citing a loss of character,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: loss of light, and an increasing demand on infrastructure. The
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: new plan does retain seventy three percent of all the
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: special character areas established under the twenty sixteen Auckland Unitary Plans,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: so that isn't too bad. The new plan is also
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: about allowing the Council to down zone in some areas,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: and the twenty third twenty twenty three flooding taught us
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: that it's well past time we stopped further housing development
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: in areas we know are prone to flooding and coastal erosion.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: This is a no brainer. Also cheaper to build where
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: goods supporting infrastructure already exists, rather than it is to
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: create new housing areas where infrastructure has to be developed
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: from scratch. In particular, given the cost of the CRL,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: it makes sense to have as many people living near
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: it and benefiting from it as possible, or, as the
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Mayor said, there's no point in spending six billion on
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: something if there's nobody on the damn thing. Even though
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: the council meeting voted in favor eighteen five, it doesn't
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: mean there wasn't plenty of discussion around the council table.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Deputy Mayor Desley Simpson asked for conditions around high towers
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: and I think this was a sensible thing to do.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: She suggested tall apartments need to be set back and
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: have communal areas and facilities. The Mayor supported the amendment,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: saying there needs to be parking and commercial activity on
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: the lower levels, and so that was incorporated into the
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: main motion. I mean car parking is essential, right. Councilor
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Christine Fletcher, though, didn't have quite the same luck with
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: her amendment when she asked for greater consultation and for
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: the plan change to be publicly notified. At present, public
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: consultation will begin on November third clothes on December nineteen.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: It is quick Fletcher's amendment would have drad consultation out
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: until the middle of next year. To be honest, yesterday
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: I thought the Council would take the safe option and
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: extend consultation, but after much debate about what Minister Chris
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Bishop would think about all this, I think there was
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: a bit of mind reading going on. This amendment was
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: voted down fifteen to eight. So while debate was generally
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: a bit dry, the day did come with some interesting rhetoric.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Councilor Morris Williams thought both options were unacceptable, saying it's
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: a choice between a firing squad and a lethal injection.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Rather surprisingly, he voted for the plan. I'm not sure
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: which option he considered this to be.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Franchiers good, So to.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Be honest with you, Good on the council for getting
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: on with it. Let's make Auckland a more livable modern city,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: a lot less ugly townhouses all crammed into our suburbs
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: and exchange for some modern rises. Let's go and hey,
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: look if you don't like it. Public consultation will begin
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: on November third and close on November nineteenth. Keep that
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: in mind, you're an early edition will be back shortly.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: I don't play.
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: Don't your mom back the Sacco.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day Early
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: edition with Frank Yesca, Rudjim and one roof love Where
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: you live?
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: News Talk said, B what is a phil?
• 17:36
  Speaker 9: Rid abitsama at you? What is a phil like?
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: I can tell you anything.
• 17:43
  Speaker 10: All the secrets, accum and change it.
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: All the damas am make me dangerous?
• 17:49
  Speaker 11: You good?
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: This is early edition on Newswork VP. I'm Francisco, bud
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Ken filling and for Ryan who was on Drive today,
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: thanks for being with us. Now, Jimmy Kimmel is back
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: on air. He chose his words carefully, as you'd expect
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: in his first monologue back, saying his comments about Charlie
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Kirk's death had been ill timed or unclear or maybe both.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: Have a listen.
• 18:09
  Speaker 11: I'm not sure who had a weirder forty eight hours,
• 18:12
  Speaker 11: me or the CEO of TYL and all. But I
• 18:16
  Speaker 11: do want to make something clear because it's important to
• 18:18
  Speaker 11: me as a human, and that is you understand that
• 18:21
  Speaker 11: it was never my intention to make light of the
• 18:24
  Speaker 11: murder of a young man.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: I don't I don't think there's anything funny about it.
• 18:34
  Speaker 11: I posted a message on Instagram of the daves killed,
• 18:37
  Speaker 11: sending love to his family and asking him for a compassion,
• 18:40
  Speaker 11: and I meant it.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: I still do, Kim.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: I'll also find back at Trump. He said Trump tried
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: to cancel him, but it only boosted his right.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: He said Trump tried to cancel him, but it only
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: boosted his writings, and he joked he might have to
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: release the Epstein files Epstein files to distract from it.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: So that kind of went as expected. Anyway. Katie Fisher
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: is with us shortly from the US. She is all
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: over this. A lot of jokes yesterday about the Swedish invasion,
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: first Ikea and now the governor of the Reserve Bank.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: But what do we know about the new governor and
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: the approach she might take. Cameron Baggray is with me
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: just before six, and thanks for your feedback this morning
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: on Nikola Willis and her reaction to the survey. If
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: that one hundred and fifty are criticizing them, but are
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: criticizing them both, you can be damn sure the five
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: million are. That's their prime audience, and none of which
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: will be feeling it in their pockets like the five million,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: fifty percent of which we get to vote next year.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Auckland's new song in the Ghetto. I don't know. I'm
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: going to be honest with you.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Phil Goff was saying there that you know, we're starting
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: to see townhouses popping up. I am seeing them everywhere,
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: and you know what, a lot of them are quite cheap,
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: and a lot of them a quite ugly, and they're
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: just cramming them in and everyone's parking on the road.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: So we are possibly already in the ghetto. Francesca. It's
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: a mistake of building accommodation without spaces for cars, even
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: when close to amenities. Too many clogged streets, especially for emergencies.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: You're absolutely right, which is if we build anything with
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: any height, it must have those car park spaces built underneath. Right,
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: That's just kind of got to be a no brainer.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: It is twenty one.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: To six, Francisco.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's head around the country now and joining me
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: from Dunedin. Callum Proctor and oh On Maru is in
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: the news quite a bit this week.
• 20:22
  Speaker 10: Callum yes again this morning for a new community transport
• 20:26
  Speaker 10: trial which is coming to the town and the region.
• 20:30
  Speaker 10: The original councils contributing twenty five thousand dollars towards the
• 20:33
  Speaker 10: six month trial of a not for profit transport service.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: This will provide.
• 20:38
  Speaker 10: Access for locals there to places where traditional public transport
• 20:42
  Speaker 10: is not feasible. It happens in other parts of New Zealand.
• 20:46
  Speaker 10: The council says Zamoru is the best place to trial
• 20:48
  Speaker 10: this in the South given the exceptional community support. There
• 20:51
  Speaker 10: details about who can use the service, the cost and
• 20:54
  Speaker 10: where it will go exactly are still to be worked through,
• 20:57
  Speaker 10: but this trial is expected to be launched in the
• 20:59
  Speaker 10: next few months.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: And the weather in terned and today Callum.
• 21:03
  Speaker 10: Some early rain eases to afternoon showers. We still ease
• 21:06
  Speaker 10: today's high fifteen.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much. Clais Surewood is in christ Church.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Claire, good morning. So we see some new
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: limits are being put in place to protect endangered Hector's dolphins.
• 21:17
  Speaker 12: Yes, this is specifically at Arcadoa Harbor, Francesca. The Department
• 21:20
  Speaker 12: of Conservation has set restrictions on six permitted operators to
• 21:25
  Speaker 12: reduce swimming and viewing trips in the harbor to twenty
• 21:29
  Speaker 12: per day over the summer period. Of course, we know
• 21:31
  Speaker 12: that there's research that reveals that vessels can disturb dolphin behavior.
• 21:36
  Speaker 12: DOC Operations manager Andy Thompson says Arcadola is flourishing with
• 21:40
  Speaker 12: hectors and this gives them time to rest, forage and
• 21:43
  Speaker 12: protect their young. He says it will also help with
• 21:46
  Speaker 12: the sustainability of the tourism industry, because if we don't
• 21:49
  Speaker 12: do this, the dolphins will continue to be pushed out
• 21:51
  Speaker 12: of the harbor and exposed to further risk.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Weather in christ Church today, Claire, mostly.
• 21:57
  Speaker 12: Cloudy, but we will have some showers about mid day,
• 21:59
  Speaker 12: could be a bit thundery with hail this afternoon, then
• 22:02
  Speaker 12: clear by evening nor the least changing south west and
• 22:05
  Speaker 12: a high of sixteen.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Thanks so much. Clear, have a good day. Mixed hold
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: is with us in Wellington, go and morning.
• 22:10
  Speaker 13: Megs good morning.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: So ACC workers are putting back on working from home.
• 22:15
  Speaker 13: Yes, story in the post this morning. ACC has just
• 22:17
  Speaker 13: had a culture review working from home, hybrid working etc.
• 22:21
  Speaker 13: It may not be working surprisingly, leading to less teamwork,
• 22:25
  Speaker 13: more hierarchy silos, fragmented departments, etc. Anyway, ACC wants to
• 22:30
  Speaker 13: tackle the problem. It says it sounds like some people
• 22:32
  Speaker 13: are working from home more days than not, one team
• 22:35
  Speaker 13: in fact coming in less than a day a week
• 22:37
  Speaker 13: on average. The union the PSA says, though this is
• 22:41
  Speaker 13: really putting the wind up stuff. People have been living,
• 22:43
  Speaker 13: planning their lives around working from home and apparently we've
• 22:46
  Speaker 13: gone quite comfortable. Yeah, I've gotten quite comfortable doing it.
• 22:50
  Speaker 13: And this is I think an issue a lot of
• 22:51
  Speaker 13: the public sector is facing that people may be becoming
• 22:54
  Speaker 13: a bit entitled when it comes to entitlements. Some never
• 22:58
  Speaker 13: want to return to the office ever, and we wonder
• 23:00
  Speaker 13: away Wellington's day and it's not just the odd Friday
• 23:03
  Speaker 13: ACC is having to come up with a new strategy.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Please tell me the weather is better today, Max.
• 23:09
  Speaker 13: Cloudy period, strong winds are typical Wellington Day fifteen. The
• 23:12
  Speaker 13: hay love it.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Thanks so much, Max and neither. Britty Manho was in
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: the Auckland studio.
• 23:16
  Speaker 8: Good morning, gre Meetings, Good morning. I'm glad we didn't
• 23:19
  Speaker 8: work from home, you know, because radio people, I mean,
• 23:21
  Speaker 8: we're essential. We have to come up, are essential exactly.
• 23:24
  Speaker 8: I would like I just would not like working from home.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: I need to be in an office. Yeah, but then
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: normally I only come in once or twice a week.
• 23:31
  Speaker 8: So even though they're testing the fire alarms for the
• 23:36
  Speaker 8: last two hours in the newsroom, I can bear with that,
• 23:39
  Speaker 8: you know, I can deal with that.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: That's all right. I don't know, it was starting to
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: grade a little on me, to be honest with your neighbor.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Police are calling on landlords to be vigilant. I just
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: like to say to the bosses, though they're working and
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: they're fine, and we all heard them and the lights
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: of flashing, and it's all good to go.
• 23:51
  Speaker 8: Well while you're in here back, just while it's still going,
• 23:55
  Speaker 8: Oh you're joking. No, no, it's still going and lucky
• 23:58
  Speaker 8: we can, you know, like remove ourselves and go and
• 24:01
  Speaker 8: hide in our studios. Oh, I shouldn't say hide work
• 24:03
  Speaker 8: in our studios. But the rest of the journos in
• 24:05
  Speaker 8: the newsroom are going, what's going on?
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: All right?
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Tell me about the police. They're calling on landlords to
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: be vigilant.
• 24:11
  Speaker 8: Yes, Now, what's happened is that there've been sweeping rates
• 24:14
  Speaker 8: in Auckland one hundred and twenty cannabis growhouses now over
• 24:18
  Speaker 8: a month, the officers they sees more than ten tons
• 24:20
  Speaker 8: of cannabis, estimated to be worth more than fifty eight
• 24:23
  Speaker 8: million dollars. They've arrested thirty people. So what the police
• 24:27
  Speaker 8: is saying is that they're saying that these growhouses they
• 24:29
  Speaker 8: were largely hidden in plain sight and average looking rental properties.
• 24:33
  Speaker 8: So what they're saying to the landlords, you know what, landlords,
• 24:36
  Speaker 8: you need to treat prospective tenants with caution, the red
• 24:40
  Speaker 8: flags if they want to pay weekly with cash or
• 24:42
  Speaker 8: offering to pay above market value to stop the landlord inspecting.
• 24:46
  Speaker 8: There you go, couple of red flags there. So that's
• 24:48
  Speaker 8: the police morning here in Auckland. Auckland with today isolated
• 24:51
  Speaker 8: Charles mainly around midday again early evening today's high seventeen franciscat.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Thank you very much, love for green now Polish thank you.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Feel free to hide out in here if that had
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: alarm starting to get it is sixteen to six.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: New Stalks International correspondence with Insigne Eye Insurance Peace of
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Mind for New Zealand business.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Katie Fisher is with us now from the UIs. Good morning, Katie,
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: good morning. What is the latest from the Yuen General Assembly.
• 25:21
  Speaker 14: Well, yeah, world leaders are continuing to take to the
• 25:24
  Speaker 14: floor to speak at this huge meeting of every global leader.
• 25:31
  Speaker 14: Notably today we've heard from President Volodimir Lensky of Ukraine,
• 25:36
  Speaker 14: who was speaking after yesterday Donald Trump, US President appeared
• 25:40
  Speaker 14: to suggest he kind of u turned on the war
• 25:43
  Speaker 14: in Ukraine, suggesting that Ukraine could now reclaim all of
• 25:47
  Speaker 14: the land that Russia have annexed from it. So that's
• 25:51
  Speaker 14: a different kind of mood music from the White House,
• 25:54
  Speaker 14: and so everyone was watching Volosimiir Zlensky to see how
• 25:57
  Speaker 14: he would kind of respond, and he basically implored the
• 26:04
  Speaker 14: international community to keep supporting Ukraine by providing more weapons.
• 26:09
  Speaker 14: Essentially saying that he cannot push back Russia without them,
• 26:14
  Speaker 14: and explaining to everybody that he to quote him, we're
• 26:19
  Speaker 14: now living through the most destructive arms race in human history,
• 26:23
  Speaker 14: suggesting that you know, the use of drones and so
• 26:25
  Speaker 14: on is going to only mean as they get technologically
• 26:29
  Speaker 14: more advanced, it will only mean that terrorists or adversarial
• 26:35
  Speaker 14: states will be able to even perhaps use a nuclear
• 26:38
  Speaker 14: device on a drone. So it was one message of police,
• 26:41
  Speaker 14: help us more and the other be warned. Warfare is
• 26:45
  Speaker 14: only going to get more dangerous.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: When does the General Assembly rip up, Katie?
• 26:50
  Speaker 14: The end of this week? So the high level meetings
• 26:54
  Speaker 14: will be over by the end of this week. Yeah,
• 26:56
  Speaker 14: and see week in New York.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Yes, it is just quickly. What's the reaction being Tojimmy
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: kimmelsfoth to show Beck.
• 27:02
  Speaker 14: Well, really interesting obviously a lot of people tuning in
• 27:05
  Speaker 14: to see what he would say, and they got a
• 27:08
  Speaker 14: bit of everything. Really. He was defiant and joky, but
• 27:11
  Speaker 14: also somber, almost crying at one point, his voice certainly
• 27:16
  Speaker 14: breaking as he kind of you know, said that he
• 27:19
  Speaker 14: have no intention of ever making light of the murder
• 27:23
  Speaker 14: of a young man, and also paying tribute to Erica Kirk,
• 27:27
  Speaker 14: Charlie Kirk's widow, and saying that her message of forgiveness
• 27:31
  Speaker 14: should be the one that is taken from all of
• 27:33
  Speaker 14: this and nothing else. But he also had defiant words
• 27:37
  Speaker 14: for Donald Trump and said that a government threaten to
• 27:41
  Speaker 14: silence a comedian that a president does not like is
• 27:44
  Speaker 14: quite simply anti American. So yeah, a bit of everything
• 27:49
  Speaker 14: in that opening monologue from him. But I'm sure relieved
• 27:53
  Speaker 14: to be back on the airwaves.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Katie Fishure, thank you so much. It is ten to six.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Friend here is good.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: So, after scanning three hundred candidates, the Reserve Bank has
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: finally set on a New York governor. Doctor Anna Breman Bremen,
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: who has been deputy governor of Sweden's Rex Bank since
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, will step into the role from December. She's
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: the first woman to be named as governor in the
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: bank's ninety one year history.
• 28:18
  Speaker 15: Have listened to this, their serve Bank should and it
• 28:25
  Speaker 15: will remain a source of strength and stability for the
• 28:31
  Speaker 15: New Zealand economy. And together with the board and with staff,
• 28:37
  Speaker 15: we will achieve this by focusing on our core mandate.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: Cameron Bakery, independent economist, is with me. Now, thanks for
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: your time this morning, Cameron, Good morning.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: O, good border.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: Right, what do we know about her?
• 28:51
  Speaker 16: Oh, she's got a pretty extensive CV, she's got central
• 28:53
  Speaker 16: bank experience, she's worked diversitis, she takes pretty all the
• 28:58
  Speaker 16: boxes that you want of a credible central bank governs. So, yeah,
• 29:02
  Speaker 16: it's going on.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Do you think this is the kind of job that
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: people want?
• 29:07
  Speaker 16: Well, if the media reports are correct, there are an
• 29:11
  Speaker 16: awful lot of cvs that were thrown in a few
• 29:15
  Speaker 16: pretty high credibly candidates in Uzilla had a crack at
• 29:19
  Speaker 16: the job as well and best person one.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: What do you think her interest in taking the job
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: in New Zealanders Yes, if you.
• 29:26
  Speaker 16: Have yes, she was repeated for your tipity head well
• 29:31
  Speaker 16: next day down and management at the risk bank. You know, so,
• 29:35
  Speaker 16: I think most people work for those of the jobs.
• 29:37
  Speaker 16: Ultimately you wanted the top job. They had a central bank.
• 29:40
  Speaker 16: Obviously New Zealand's a way way away from where she
• 29:42
  Speaker 16: sort of was. But yeah, the reserve banks had a
• 29:46
  Speaker 16: pretty esteemed institution. Obviously they've got knocked around in the
• 29:49
  Speaker 16: past of the six months in regard to what's going on,
• 29:51
  Speaker 16: but if you go back, they have a look at
• 29:53
  Speaker 16: the rezive Bank over the past of the thirty to
• 29:55
  Speaker 16: thirty five years. In that era we've had low inflation.
• 29:59
  Speaker 16: So I've been highly credible they've done a very good
• 30:01
  Speaker 16: job overall.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: Cameron, how big a mess does she have to clean
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: up here? What should be her priorities?
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: Miss?
• 30:09
  Speaker 16: I think is the wrong for a word, if you
• 30:10
  Speaker 16: look at obviously at the epicenter of the central bank,
• 30:14
  Speaker 16: they sort of got three board functions price stability, we
• 30:18
  Speaker 16: don't like high inflation, we're like low inflation. We've learned
• 30:22
  Speaker 16: that lesson very sevidly over the past sort of a
• 30:25
  Speaker 16: few years. And she's come out and obviously fired a
• 30:29
  Speaker 16: couple of shots in regard that they're going to be
• 30:30
  Speaker 16: focused on inflation and the center of any central bank
• 30:34
  Speaker 16: is your credibility. So she's been straight out of the
• 30:36
  Speaker 16: blocks in regard to say needs are what the focus
• 30:39
  Speaker 16: is going to be. She'll be focused on prudential supervision
• 30:43
  Speaker 16: and of course oversight of the pavement system. Now are
• 30:46
  Speaker 16: we going to see any groundbreaking changes in regard to
• 30:49
  Speaker 16: the operation of the Reserve Bank.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: I think the answer is known.
• 30:51
  Speaker 16: You know, the Reserve Bank, there's more than the governor.
• 30:54
  Speaker 16: The governor does not decide where interest rates are. All
• 30:57
  Speaker 16: the OCO is going to be, it's decided by it
• 30:59
  Speaker 16: commits a very transparent process where I think we're going
• 31:03
  Speaker 16: to see some change. The Reserve Bank is perhaps within culture,
• 31:07
  Speaker 16: so what's the space going forward?
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: Okay, you don't happen to know how while Sweden is
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: doing economically, I mean, what does this tell us anything
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: about the way she might approach things here?
• 31:19
  Speaker 16: Well, central bank, sweetest central bank had incredibly lower interest
• 31:24
  Speaker 16: rates and they were quite pleased to get back into
• 31:28
  Speaker 16: positive regist rate territory. But once again, she's going to
• 31:31
  Speaker 16: be laser focus on the key priorities because the eb
• 31:35
  Speaker 16: center of any central bank is credibility, and that's credibility
• 31:39
  Speaker 16: of the framework. That's credibility, and the governor. It's credibility
• 31:44
  Speaker 16: in the governance. And when you lose a governor and
• 31:46
  Speaker 16: you lose a cheer within six months, you're going to
• 31:49
  Speaker 16: take a bit of a reputational hat. So the Reserve
• 31:52
  Speaker 16: Bank needs to address some of those reputational aspects. And
• 31:55
  Speaker 16: I think it'll be not too fan of the the
• 31:58
  Speaker 16: term because the government gets on trying a back I
• 32:00
  Speaker 16: think it's going to be getting back to good old
• 32:02
  Speaker 16: fashioned basis.
• 32:03

  Speaker 2: do it? The Guardian see that it is a bit average,
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: a bit of a mess, and he gave it through
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: out of five stars, but I think.
• 33:08
  Speaker 9: No time for reviewers.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: It's fun. It's gone back to being a bit silly
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: and a bit absurd and a bit fun.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: So if you.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: Serious, I thought the.
• 33:16
  Speaker 9: Last season, I like the main guy. He's good, and
• 33:20
  Speaker 9: we started the morning show and that's just absurd, so bad.
