• 1:26
  Speaker 4: Supposed to happen, right, This shouldn't have happened.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: And I don't know what happened.
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: I don't know who made what decision when and based
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: on what information.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: And honestly I don't know if any of us.
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: Will have renew this.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Okay, this sounds pretty useful so far. The Tongededo Chateau
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Hotel could be decommissioned. Locals aren't happy. This is because
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: DOC has decided not to open expressions of interest for
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: third party investors to take over the place. The Mayor's upset.
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: Everyone that's got a story about the Shadow in some
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: shape or form.
• 1:58
  Speaker 7: It's just a life.
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: People just don't want to pull things down when they
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: will have a future if we play it right.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Chip is having a great time in Liverpool At the
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: UK Labour Party conference. Chancellor Rachel Reeves was first up
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: to speak.
• 2:12
  Speaker 8: Let me say one thing straight up, there will be
• 2:14
  Speaker 8: no return to austerity.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Outside people not buying it Starma, wearing his flashy clothes
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: and cutting winter energy payments.
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: It does nothing. You doing nothing for us. It's just
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: taken everything's away from us. Definitely disappointed. Yeah, he just
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: doesn't considered what he's doing at all.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: And finally, in the agenda this morning in Denver, this
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: is in the United States, there is a plan to
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: give up to one thousand dollars per month to homeless people,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: not all of them.
• 2:48
  Speaker 9: The Denver City Council is saying they only want their
• 2:51
  Speaker 9: money to go to women and transgender and gender non
• 2:56
  Speaker 9: conforming homeless people.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: No, Matt.
• 3:00
  Speaker 10: Okay, what is.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day early
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's furniture
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: beds and a playing store news talks.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Be I don't really find that follow the logic. They
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: are about three times as many men homeless in this
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: particular area, apparently compared to women. Anyway, what do we
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: think of Nikola willis going hard on the working from
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: homers the civil servants. Nine two nine two is the
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: number to text. I see already the unions have come
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: out and the unions are saying this is a quote
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: from one of the unionists on the radio yesterday. The
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: issue here is it's not the working from home. They say,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: it's that the government doesn't care about Wellington and the economy.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: If they did, they wouldn't have cut thousands of hard
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: working public servants jobs. I think we're at six thousand
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: jobs and counting. It's a total distraction. Really, are you
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: kidding me? So if six thousand people go to work
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: don't produce anything, we just keep paying them because why communism?
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: You know? Anyway, I think it's a good thing. I
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: think it's about time they did this. I know people
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: who work in Wellington and they do work. They do
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: have Monday and Friday off, you know, they do do
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: some work. The other thing here is the family issue.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: You might have seen this in the press conference yesterday.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: They keep saying if you've got children, then you should
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: have some somehow you should be exempt, or you should
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: have special rules and regulations. How do we feel about that?
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Nine two nine two. I mean, what if you're a
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: single person with a dog, Not that I'm speaking of
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: anyone in particular, but why should you Why should you
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: not be afforded the same flexibility just because you don't
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: have children? Some people can't have children, for goodness sakes,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: How fair is that? Nine two nine two the n
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: I'm just text eleven minutes after five, just staying in
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: the States very quickly for a second, because the other
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: day I was driving my car and there's a spot
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: up by K Road in Central Auckland, which is quite
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: busy because they've put cycle lanes and bus lanes. Anyway,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: there are beggars always on this intersection. There's a petrol
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: station on the corner. You'll know the one I'm talking
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: about if you're familiar, and you'll have these all over
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: the country. Should you give money to the beggars? I
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: always look in my review mirror at people doing it
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: because I don't do it. I think it's dangerous to
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: do it. There. It's a busy arterial route. You know,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: they're walking in the middle of the road. Some of
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: them even whack your window, and I just think, don't
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: do it. It's dangerous and it's not helping them, is it.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Nine two ninety two. Would like to know what you
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: think about that. Anyway down the road from Denver, this
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: is in Colorado County. They have nearly eradicated their homeless problem.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Apparently putting messages out and notices up saying handouts don't help.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: There are seventy signs with the message at intersections across
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: the county. Apparently it's having some success. Twelve minutes after five.
• 5:55
  Speaker 10: Ryan Bridge Lots more to come here on early edition,
• 6:03
  Speaker 10: including our Kiwi fruit growers who seem to be just.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: The cash cows of one and not to Eca in particular.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: We'll talk to them in the next half hour. Also,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: if you have a smart car, I'll tell you why
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: a ban from the White House might be affecting all
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: of us in the years to come.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: a flying Store Youth Talk.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Said be fourteen after five Tuesday morning. Good to have
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: your company. The Sydney Morning Herald has a poll out
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: to voters apparently turning on labor and turning on elbow.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: In the Big States New South Wales and Victoria. The
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: election over there member is duly September next year, but
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: he could call it any time between now and then.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: The trend has cut the government's primary vote to twenty
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: nine percent in New South Wales and just thirty percent
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: in Victoria. That is below the results that got at
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: the last election nationally. If you're interested, Dustn't and Elbow
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: are neck and neck and there are loads of undecided.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: It's about thirty percent undercided between the two of them.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: At the moment. Labor could still lead a minority government
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: there because you've got your independence and you've got your Greens,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: who obviously swing left. But this will put the woolies up.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Labor and Donnad de Mayo, our Australia correspondent, is with
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: us at quarter two Bridge. Get back to work. That's
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: the message from the government to civil servants and affairs
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: of productivity loss skiving off and CBD cafes and restaurants
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: going to the wall. Lots of your texts on this
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: first though, Alistair Boyce, Oh sorry, here's Nichola Willis.
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: Choosing not to come to your physical place of work
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: does have an impact on your team and your wider community.
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: If it's possible for you to work in the office.
• 7:49
  Speaker 7: You should.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Alistair Boyce is the back backbencher pub owner and he's
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: with us this morning. Good morning, Alistair, good day, Ryan.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: Good to hear from you. Again.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good to have you on the show. Tell me
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: will this make a difference.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: Oh? Absolutely, We've really been missing our key clients from
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: the public sector. But we're fully with Nikola Willis and
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: what she's saying, and we also agree with it. It's
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: about the outcomes of the public sector. It's not all
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: about getting Wellington moving again, because then some other real
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: vicious problems going on in the Wellington microeconomy. Absolutely apart
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: from the civil servants with the work from home saga.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: What do you think and we'll get to those in
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: a sect, But what do you think is been more
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: damaging the civil service cuts from national or the work
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: from home policy that's been lingering since COVID.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: Our work from home without a doubt.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: And what are the other issues you're talking about in Wellington?
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: Well these are more related to our dysfunctional city council
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: where they destroy our businesses. And as you know, most
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: small businesses do try and get locations on arterial routes
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: and busy put traffic streets. But what they've done with
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: all these streets has ripped them up, put in cycleways
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: and cut us off from our customers. And the next
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: one they're planning to do it all the way on
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: Courtney Place, which will cut out cars as well. The
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: other thing they've cut out is a huge amount of
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: car parks, and they've done roadworks on theorial routes and
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: forming Keys to Classic which will be going on for
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: some years. And they'd already done at a key and
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: that those roadworks talk about eight months. Multiple problem.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: How much have your rates gone up?
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's the other thing. The disposable income of Wellington
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: citizens and residents is now coming to an all time low.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: So most of us have endured over twenty percent increase
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: in rates this year. The long term plan is patently ridiculous.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: It's got over ten percent, over fifteen percent and increases
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: despite the Maya telling us that decreases an increases planned
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: for ten years is never going to be a decrease.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: And what this does kills the wider economy so that
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: they don't have the disposable income for the hospitality and
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: retail centers, and they don't come into town because they
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: have access and parking issues.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I won't ask you the question, Alistair, but
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: I would hate to think. I would hate to imagine
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: what the combination of all of these things is doing
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: to business the value of a business in Wellington right
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: now as well. Thank you very much for your time
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: this morning. Appreciate you burning up earlier with me Alistair
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Boyce backbench of pub owner. Lots of texts on this
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: will get to them shortly. Nineteen after five.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: News and Views you trust has done your day is
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's furniture,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: beds and a playing store. News Talk said be.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Twenty one after five. Paul says Ryan working from home
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: is a privilege, not a right, and a number of
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: young people think that it is a right and that
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: they are God's gift to the workforce. They need to
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: be put into line. A lot of support for Nicola
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: willis this morning. Carew We fruit exports from New Zealand
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: reached an all time high three point one billion dollars
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: for the year in in August this year. That's up
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: five hundred and twenty one million dollars or twenty percent.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Gold care We fruit made the biggest contribution exports, valued
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: at two point four billion, a twenty four percent increase.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Evan Hayward is the Motsueka Kiwi fruit and apple grower
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: he's with me live this morning. Good day Evan, morning Ryan,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: thanks for being with me. So what's going good for you?
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: Like you said, the gold key fruit is going well
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: on the back of a couple of good years now
• 11:45
  Speaker 7: and volumes and quality have been outstanding.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: So we do in China is where we send our
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: gold buy and large. Isn't it.
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: All over the world?
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Ryan?
• 11:55
  Speaker 7: By your China's probably the biggest market and also won
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: of the highest markets.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: What's the deal with red? What are you doing there?
• 12:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we've got three hectares of red in the ground.
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: We'll have our first commercial crop next year. So it's
• 12:12
  Speaker 7: early days, but the market is definitely keen on the
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: red flesh q through variety. So it's early days, but
• 12:20
  Speaker 7: demands there and we just need to learn how to
• 12:23
  Speaker 7: grow this properly. And yeah, I think there's a good,
• 12:26
  Speaker 7: good potential in future for a red flesh variety in
• 12:29
  Speaker 7: the market.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: I haven't tried it. Does it taste any different? What
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: does it taste like?
• 12:33
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's got some some tropical flavors and it is
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: quite different from you know, the green and red, green
• 12:39
  Speaker 7: and gold that most people are used to.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Is that a higher value the red?
• 12:44
  Speaker 7: Yes? It is, but bear in mind the volumes are
• 12:49
  Speaker 7: very small, so there's probably some scarcity value built into
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: that price at the moment.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: How hard is it to grow? I guess you're finding out.
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: Yes we are, but early indications that is a little
• 13:02
  Speaker 7: bit more difficult to grow in both the green and
• 13:05
  Speaker 7: the gold. This particular variety ruby read is a little
• 13:09
  Speaker 7: bit smaller and it can blemish quite quite easily from
• 13:14
  Speaker 7: one damage and one thing and another. So yeah, it's
• 13:17
  Speaker 7: got some agronomical issues there, agronomy issues there that Gruys
• 13:23
  Speaker 7: will need to learn and get better at.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to trying it. Evan. Great to have
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: some good news from our heavy fruit industry. Really appreciate

• 16:16
  Speaker 2: before time, Ryan, the four day weekend needs to end.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: They're on the public purse for goodness sakes. It's lots
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: of debate actually about whether parents, people who've got children
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: should be given more flexibility than those who don't. And
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: I just made the point, you know what about a
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: single person who's got a dog for example, should they
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: not be given flexibility? Ryan, I agree with you. I've
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: got no kids and a dog. I'm completely on board
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: with more flexibility for people of my milk. Another says
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: it's because it's simple, because children are more important to
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: society than animals, which you can't argue with, really can you.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: It's not like the dogs are one day going to work,
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: pay taxes and fund our superannuation? Are they? Twenty nine
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: after five News Talk sid B.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: Take Maha don't backing?
• 17:23
  Speaker 10: Love me too, MYO.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: This time?
• 17:29
  Speaker 10: West?
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: Is you right?
• 17:32
  Speaker 11: There?
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Are alone?
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Ryan? Bridge? You for twenty twenty four on early edition
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture bits at a playing store.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: News Talk sid.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: BE, Good Morning New Zealand. It is twenty four minutes
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: away from Sex Year. On news Talk sid be still
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: the cam donnad Tomayo out of Australia. Are Australia correspondent
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: and I'll update you on the smart cars. Australia is
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: watching a potential ban from America on parts imported from China.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Why you should care, I'll tell you. Plus we're going
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: to speak to a criminal defense lawyer just before six.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: This whole Polkinghorn case not guilty, Yes, now goes to
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: a coroner. If coroner decides not suicide, then what We'll
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: ask that question very quickly for you as well. The
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: guy accused of trying to hit Trump at the golf course,
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: he's left a note this was an assassination attempt on
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump, but I failed you. It reads. I tried
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: It's up to you now to finish the job. I
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: will offer one hundred and fifty thousand dollars to whomever
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: can complete the job here. He's obviously not in a
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: position to pay that as even from behind bars. Also,
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: this morning interesting out of Japan. So the Japanese fighter
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: jets have fired warning flares at a Russian military reconnaissance plane.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: It's violated its airspace. This happens from time to time.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: The Russians will come in like a fly hanging around
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: a window and will just jump and buzz into the
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: airspace and buzz out again, and usually Japan does absolutely
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: nothing about it. It is significant that they have fired
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: flares in this instance. It's happened forty eight times before.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: They have never taken that action. Of course Russia and
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: China cozing up in the region and just stretching their
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: legs over the Sea of Japan. Lots of detexts on Wellington.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: It is twenty two to six rich and we're going
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: to our reporters around the country, Calum Proctors. First, you've
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: got the albatrosses. Albatross is coming to Dunedin.
• 19:40
  Speaker 12: Yet the first the Northern Royal albatross of the season
• 19:43
  Speaker 12: has returned Ryan and it always sparks much excitement here
• 19:46
  Speaker 12: around this time of the year. It's been spotted flying
• 19:48
  Speaker 12: around the Peninsular Headland, so that marks the start of
• 19:52
  Speaker 12: the albatross breeding season. So this particular bird hatched in
• 19:56
  Speaker 12: nineteen ninety four, it's currently thirty years old, and she
• 20:00
  Speaker 12: successfully raised many chicks in her lifetime and so she's back.
• 20:05
  Speaker 12: That means the traditional bell ringing in Doneda will take
• 20:08
  Speaker 12: place today. That's at one o'clock. The Royal Albatross Center says.
• 20:12
  Speaker 12: People from all over the world in fact join in
• 20:14
  Speaker 12: every year, chiming bells and waving flags.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: It's cool, doesn't scare the birds away, obviously has the
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: weather for the bell ringing?
• 20:21
  Speaker 12: Callum not the greatest Shewers possibly heavy through the day.
• 20:25
  Speaker 12: We've got a strong wind watch with westerly gails. Thirteen
• 20:28
  Speaker 12: is the high today?
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: All right, thank you Claires and christ Church. Hey clear,
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: you've got young gaming minds at the forefront of your
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: story this morning.
• 20:37
  Speaker 13: Yes, I know this seems on, but we start with
• 20:38
  Speaker 13: Auckland here where Auckland University of Technology researchers are looking
• 20:43
  Speaker 13: into this first pilot's study of the benefits and arms
• 20:47
  Speaker 13: of e sports in high school students. The video game
• 20:50
  Speaker 13: competitions have taken off globally. They're looking at christ Church
• 20:54
  Speaker 13: students specifically for this, which is why I'm claiming it
• 20:56
  Speaker 13: for this morning's cross.
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: To you Ryan.
• 20:58
  Speaker 13: But Associate Professor Maria Bellringer says they want to find
• 21:02
  Speaker 13: out why people participate in esports, what benefits they might
• 21:05
  Speaker 13: be getting from them, and also, of course, whether it
• 21:08
  Speaker 13: is causing any harm.
• 21:09
  Speaker 14: She says one of.
• 21:10
  Speaker 13: The concerns is that esports could lead to gaming disorders
• 21:14
  Speaker 13: or gambling later in life.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Oh all right, how's your weather?
• 21:19
  Speaker 13: Early high cloud then mainly find northwesterlies turning southwest. High
• 21:23
  Speaker 13: of eighteen.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Thank you Max Tols and Wellington this morning. Max, how
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: are people reacting to the mayor sort of just you know,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: being all over the place lately.
• 21:33
  Speaker 8: Yeah, she sold the car to pay the bills. No
• 21:35
  Speaker 8: she didn't, Oh she did sort of. The airport shares
• 21:38
  Speaker 8: sale is not going to pass, or wait it is.
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: We did a whiper around of the council yesterday, critic
• 21:45
  Speaker 8: mayoral rival Ray Jung calling Torri Fino's TV interview terrible
• 21:50
  Speaker 8: and what she's saying lately is doubtful. Nicolae Young was
• 21:55
  Speaker 8: on the receiving end of ref raff criticism of her
• 21:58
  Speaker 8: and a few other critics on the council. She says
• 22:00
  Speaker 8: she might get the riff raff a phrase printed on
• 22:02
  Speaker 8: a T shirt as a badge of honor. Diane Calvert
• 22:05
  Speaker 8: says the mayor can't seem to get her story straight,
• 22:08
  Speaker 8: pure flip flopping, and there are clear alarm bells ringing
• 22:11
  Speaker 8: around her. Tim Brown, who's sided with Tory on selling
• 22:15
  Speaker 8: the airport shares, says the mayor has been confusing lately.
• 22:18
  Speaker 8: Other typical supporters on the council staying very quiet lately,
• 22:22
  Speaker 8: probably worth pointing out. Even the Spinoff, which has perhaps
• 22:25
  Speaker 8: been the Mayor's staunchest defender, publishing a critical column yesterday
• 22:29
  Speaker 8: strongly questioning her political acumen.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Wow, that is saying something, isn't it next? How's you
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: with it today? That's right?
• 22:39
  Speaker 8: Mostly cloudy, some strong northwesterlyes eighteen the high central?
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: Nice one, thank you. I actually think we should kick
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Wellington while they're down neither you go on, you know,
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: because while they're down on the ground, down and out,
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: take the capital off them. Why do they deserve it?
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: I mean they clearly can't run themselves, couldn't run a bark.
• 22:56
  Speaker 11: I should go down there and be mayor you'd be great.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: I don't want to. There's a hellhole. Oh yeah, the
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: wind as well.
• 23:02
  Speaker 13: Yeah, kick them on they're down.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: You can on the dow, move the capitol. Don't bring
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: it here because we can't even you know, we can't
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: even sort out a new mall by an airport.
• 23:11
  Speaker 11: That's we've got our own problems. Look at our pipes,
• 23:13
  Speaker 11: their pipes. Oh, don't get me started.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Hey what are we looking at today? Scooters?
• 23:17
  Speaker 11: How about that for Auckland Council. So hopefully, fingers crossed,
• 23:21
  Speaker 11: it's not going to end up like the last one.
• 23:23
  Speaker 11: So current provider Line QI owned Flamingo. They've secured the
• 23:27
  Speaker 11: contracts for Auckland. This is out of a pool of
• 23:29
  Speaker 11: seven applicants. So obviously after a former provider Beams contract
• 23:34
  Speaker 11: was terminated, terminated because of you know, all the allegations
• 23:37
  Speaker 11: that they deployed too many scooters, which they did, and
• 23:40
  Speaker 11: so move and Chetty, he is the council Manager of
• 23:44
  Speaker 11: Licensing and Environmental Health. He says, look, they've learnt from
• 23:47
  Speaker 11: the ordeal and they've got the data and the auditing systems.
• 23:50
  Speaker 11: They've been strengthened so this doesn't happen again. But I
• 23:54
  Speaker 11: just didn't realize either too, because when the news came
• 23:56
  Speaker 11: out yesterday that the council's not providing e bikes they've
• 23:59
  Speaker 11: dumped I didn't even realize they did the e bikes
• 24:02
  Speaker 11: but low demand obviously. Okay, well have you be just
• 24:05
  Speaker 11: sticking with the scoots?
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: That's all right? I mean people love the scooters, don't they. Yep, Hey,
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: unless you're walking on the footpath and then you don't
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: enjoy them. How's the weather today?
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: Now?
• 24:13
  Speaker 11: We putly cloudy, a few early morning showers, evening showers.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Eighteen is the high brilliant thank you, loads of feedback
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: on Wellington Ryan fifteen hundred dollars for two nights accommodation
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: this weekend Wellington Daylight, Robbery, Wearable Arts and Rugby will
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: think twice about going in the future. And another says
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Ryan Wellington is dying. We had calls to be in
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Wellington recently, had to park so far away from the
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: event venue. The road cones ripped up, the fenced off roads,
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: the broken buildings. But it was the stench, the squalor
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: and the mess, the buildings in disrepair, struggling to find
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: something open for dinner before the show. Wellington is in
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: demise akin to San Francisco, says suit. All right, you've
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: been warned.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, Peace of mind
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: for New Zealand Business fourteen.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: Away secure on News Talk ZV and we're going to
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Donna de Mayo, our Australia correspondent in just a few seconds.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: We'll be talking Pulkinghorn and what next. Right now, though,
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Donna's with us. Donna, Australia's two big supermarkets are being
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: sued by the competition watchdog There what for.
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: Yes, legal action has been taken against two major supermarkets,
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: Woolies and cold It's alleged there was some illusory discounting
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: on some common products, actually hundreds of them in fact,
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: So it's the allegation is the supermarkets briefly increased prices
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: on hundreds of products before placing them on discount or
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: on promotion. So it's been alleged to the shoppers have
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: been misled on items, you know, from chucky biscuits to
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: instant coffee, yogurt right through to tissues and throat lozenges
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: and pet food and the list goes on. So the
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: Australian Competition and Consumer Commission says the regulator will seek
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: significant penalties. It's taken these supermarkets to the Federal Court
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: in separate cases. I might add, now the major retailer
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: is allegedly profited from the sale of tens of millions
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: of these products that, as I mentioned, were discounted but
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: allegedly sold under consumer law breaches. And it looks like
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: that the atriple C will also seek to impose community
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: service orders, hopefully on woollies and coals. And what that
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: means is that these supermarkets will have to fund a
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: registered charity to deliver meals to Australians in need efforts
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: if the Atribra C is successful in its legal action.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Tell us about these Indigenous Northern Territory police officers. They've
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: lodged a complaint about racial discrimination.
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: Yes, I've gone straight to the Human Rights Commission, and
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: the complaint has been lodged against the Northern Territory government
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: and the Police Commissioner on behalf of these three serving
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: Aboriginal police. Now, they launched the complaint alleging racial discrimination
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: over twenty years, alligation of racial qualification and derision and
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: also an unequal system of pay and promotion. So the
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: lawyer actually says that the Aboriginal community police officers have
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: been subject to this racism since their position was actually created,
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: and it's not a historical complaint by any means, but
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: still very much of to day. And the commissioner says
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: he can't comment on specifics of the case, but the
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: fourth is invested in cultural reforms, so let's see what
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: happens there, all right.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: Donna, thanks very much for that. Donn and de Mayo
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: are Australia correspondent. Twelve minutes away from Sex. Ryan Bridge
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: not guilty. Pulkinghorn walked free from court yesterday quittitive murdering
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: his wife Pauline Hannah. Finally, a verdict. Roderick Mulgan is
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: a criminal defense lawyer. He's with US Live this morning. Roderick,
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: good morning, Good morning. Were you surprised at that verdict?
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: Not?
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Why not?
• 27:55
  Speaker 9: I think many people saw that coming. The thing about
• 27:58
  Speaker 9: criminal justice, as we all know, is doubt. So if
• 28:03
  Speaker 9: the doubt, you've going to have an acquittal. And even
• 28:06
  Speaker 9: though many people were suspicious, did he really do it?
• 28:09
  Speaker 9: It's just not enough.
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: It is a high bar.
• 28:12
  Speaker 9: It is difficult to convict people on circumstantial evidence. And
• 28:17
  Speaker 9: as judges are saying the juries all the time, even
• 28:20
  Speaker 9: if you think it's likely somebody did that, that's not enough.
• 28:25
  Speaker 9: You've got to be sure, and you just can't be
• 28:27
  Speaker 9: sure of that evidence.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Most of the jury clearly didn't think it was suicide,
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: because they said as much in their question to the judge.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: What happens now with the coroner? What if the coroner
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: rules that it's not suicide.
• 28:40
  Speaker 9: The coroner has a different standard of evidence. The coroner's
• 28:46
  Speaker 9: inquiry is balance of probabilities, what's more likely, So it's
• 28:52
  Speaker 9: not a criminal inquiry, so the coroner is free come
• 29:00
  Speaker 9: to a different conclusion if they think the evidence merits it.
• 29:06
  Speaker 9: So you can have the jury saying, will there's some
• 29:09
  Speaker 9: doubt about whether it was murder, and you have the
• 29:13
  Speaker 9: corner saying it's likely to be murdered. And those two
• 29:19
  Speaker 9: things can sit side by sides because they're answering the
• 29:22
  Speaker 9: question to two different levels.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: What would require? What would be required for a retrial?
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: More evidence, new evidence.
• 29:32
  Speaker 9: Were a trial as big and as complex and as
• 29:36
  Speaker 9: thorough as this, a new trial could only happen if
• 29:41
  Speaker 9: there was very, very substantial new evidence, and it just
• 29:46
  Speaker 9: doesn't exist because everything here is circumstantial.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Interesting, there was never.
• 29:53
  Speaker 9: An eyewitness, there was never a photograph, there was never
• 29:55
  Speaker 9: a fingerprint. So it's not going to.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Happen to your mind, polking Horn is a free man
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: for good. Yes, thanks so much for your time. Roderick
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: Mulgan just gone nine minutes away from six y're on
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: News Talk CB Ryan Bridge. Now, do you have a
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: smart car? I was trying to work out this morning
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: what exactly constitutes a smart car. It's a car that's
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Scott integrates with his smartphone, remote control, live traffic updates.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: It sounds like most new cars. So Australia is monitoring.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: Apparently today the White House is potentially going to ban
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: Chinese car software over security concerns. I worried about tracking
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: American drivers where are they going and potentially manipulating their
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: vehicles through the car's communication systems. Can you imagine driving
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: down the motorway and all of a sudden it's dodge
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: ems there's some guys sitting in Beijing remote controlling your car. Anyway,
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: That's apparently what they're worried about. So that's one to
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: watch for today. We imported about ten thousand evs from
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: China in twenty twenty three, so there might be a
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: few of them out there. It is eight minutes away
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: from six News Talk sedb, well, how are you go
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: as far.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Zealand's furniture beds and a flying store.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: News Talk said, be six minutes away from six News Talks,
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: said be So the Australians are watching the Americans who
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: are watching the Chinese. This is on smart cars, the
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: Chinese car software inside the vehicles. The Americans are worried
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: that they might use it one day to control the
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: cars as you're driving along. There might be someone in
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: Beijing controlling your car or to track where you are driving.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: This is US citizens and potentially government employees, SOID security
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: concerns there. Mike is here in the studio. He's with you.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: Next good morning, Good morning.
• 31:56
  Speaker 14: You can already do that, you realize. So my car
• 31:59
  Speaker 14: has gotten the count and so you can hack it,
• 32:03
  Speaker 14: well someone could, but you can tap into your account
• 32:05
  Speaker 14: and you get a whole lot of stuff downloaded into
• 32:08
  Speaker 14: your car. So do you have a car? So every
• 32:09
  Speaker 14: now and again you'll get an update on your car
• 32:11
  Speaker 14: and your cargo. Your car is ready for an update.
• 32:13
  Speaker 14: Do you want to update? And you hit boom and
• 32:15
  Speaker 14: then it downloads a whole bunch of whatever it is.
• 32:17
  Speaker 14: So if the Chinese implanted this and this where it
• 32:19
  Speaker 14: all comes from, the American's paranoid of course, because they'll
• 32:22
  Speaker 14: GPSU and all that sort of stuff.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: Yea.
• 32:24
  Speaker 14: A guy called fairly runs Forward. He was in China
• 32:26
  Speaker 14: the other day and they got a couple of cars
• 32:29
  Speaker 14: shipped to America and they had them stripped down to
• 32:32
  Speaker 14: see how they build it. And they don't know how
• 32:34
  Speaker 14: they can build a car to compete with the Chinese,
• 32:37
  Speaker 14: right because of the scale.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: I guess the question because it has to be it's
• 32:40
