Speaker 2: trees in Calgary, and Trump telling reporters that previously excluding
1:46
Speaker 2: Putin from the group was a mistake.
1:49
Speaker 6: They threw Russia out, which I claimed was a very
1:52
Speaker 6: big mistake, even though it wasn't in politics, and I
1:54
Speaker 6: was very loud about it. It was a mistake in
1:56
Speaker 6: that you spend so much time talking about Russia. He's
2:00
Speaker 6: no longer at the table.
2:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, and well he's still not there now. A man

2:11
Speaker 2: and ended up crawling towards the offices.
2:14
Speaker 7: They were able to clause in and when we see
2:15
Speaker 7: he's crawling towards us, these were in response to the
2:18
Speaker 7: commands by the Swaite teams that were on seeing he
2:21
Speaker 7: was cooperative and cooperated with law enforcement and gave up
2:24
Speaker 7: peacefully at that time.
2:27
Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan
2:31
Speaker 1: Bridge and ex fol Insulation keeping Kiwi homes warm and
2:35
Speaker 1: dry this winter news talks, he'd be.
2:37
Speaker 2: Nine past five news talks. He'd been nine two nine
2:40
Speaker 2: two is the number of TIX would love to hear
2:41
Speaker 2: from you this morning. Nothing like a war in the
2:43
Speaker 2: Middle East to put things in perspective here at home.
2:47
Speaker 2: As families run from their apartment blocks or heighten their bunkers,
2:51
Speaker 2: TV stations get blown up so that nobody knows what's
2:54
Speaker 2: actually happening here. We're arguing about a pro rated sick day.
2:59
Speaker 2: Allounce h goodness, sex, How good have we got it?
3:04
Speaker 2: How good have we got it? In New Zealand PSA
3:07
Speaker 2: union hited by flur fit Simon's She's the one that
3:10
Speaker 2: managed to lose the safest seat of labors of all,
3:12
Speaker 2: a wrong attiede to Julia and genter. She puts out
3:15
Speaker 2: a press press release yesterday calling this very minor tweak
3:20
Speaker 2: a quote war on women, which it's neither. In fact,
3:26
Speaker 2: that is offensive to both wars and women. It's simple,
3:30
Speaker 2: if you work fewer hours, you get less sick leave.
3:32
Speaker 2: I really don't understand what the problem is with this.
3:35
Speaker 2: I genuinely don't get what all the fuss is about. Factors.
3:39
Speaker 2: They shouldn't even be a fuss. This is where Lucks
3:42
Speaker 2: and Cox things up. And yesterday I just thought, get
3:45
Speaker 2: your act together, mate. Yesterday he comes on with Mike.
3:49
Speaker 2: He mentions changes are coming on sick leave, but then
3:52
Speaker 2: couldn't remember what they were or when they were. And
3:56
Speaker 2: just for clarity, this minor tweak was actually publicly announced
3:59
Speaker 2: a year ago. He did the same thing with the
4:02
Speaker 2: ute tax on my show yesterday morning. Anyway, the sickly
4:06
Speaker 2: stuff literally old news, and yet here we are with
4:10
Speaker 2: a war on women underway. Oh the bloodshed, the missile
4:14
Speaker 2: of a zero point four reduction and pro rated sickly.
4:18
Speaker 2: What a catastrophe is something sexist if the outcome affects
4:25
Speaker 2: one group more than the other, because that's what people say.
4:27
Speaker 2: They say, if one group is affected or is put
4:33
Speaker 2: off by a policy or particular program more than another,
4:37
Speaker 2: then the policy itself must be sexist, which I think
4:41
Speaker 2: is nonsense. But if that's true, then as time we
4:44
Speaker 2: started calling all wars, and I mean real ones, wars
4:48
Speaker 2: on men because the people going behind the front lines
4:52
Speaker 2: with guns who end up getting shot and killed are
4:55
Speaker 2: more often than not certainly not women, are they? Bran
5:00
Speaker 2: nine two nine two the number of text would like
5:02
Speaker 2: your thoughts on that this morning. Also, we're going to
5:04
Speaker 2: get to this vaping situation. They're going to hide them
5:07
Speaker 2: behind if you go to your dairy, they're going to
5:09
Speaker 2: hide them behind either a curtain or a blacked out screen,
5:12
Speaker 2: so you won't be able to see the vapes and
5:14
Speaker 2: you won't be able to buy recyclable vapes. Does that
5:17
Speaker 2: going to stop you vaping if you're a vapor or
5:19
Speaker 2: stop your kid vaping if your kids vaping? Nine two
5:22
Speaker 2: nine two. Will look at that next.
5:25
Speaker 1: News and views you trust to start your day.
5:28
Speaker 8: It's earlier this ship with.
5:29
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge at x Foole Insulation keeping Kiey Holmes ward
5:34
Speaker 1: and dry this winter. News Talk said b.
5:36
Speaker 2: Y fourteen on news Talk said, b this guy in
5:38
Speaker 2: christ did you see this on the news last night?
5:40
Speaker 2: Killed this woman. He was a gardener for her. She'd
5:44
Speaker 2: hide him as a gardener and he kills her with
5:47
Speaker 2: what they said on the news was an axe. I mean,
5:50
Speaker 2: horrific stuff, right, horrific stuff. Guy is in a psych
5:53
Speaker 2: ward as a site patient for most of his life.
5:56
Speaker 2: He's obviously completely nuts. He killed his brother and then
6:00
Speaker 2: we let him out on unsupervised day releases. I mean,
6:04
Speaker 2: what is wrong with people? And he even said he
6:07
Speaker 2: was emailing his cousin while he was being treated in
6:11
Speaker 2: a sight would emailing his cousin saying I'm a danger
6:14
Speaker 2: to people. They shouldn't let me near people because I'm dangerous.
6:18
Speaker 2: And there we go with it. I mean, this is
6:19
Speaker 2: why people when you hear the opposition crying foul about
6:23
Speaker 2: the three strikes, lord, well, no one's really going to care,
6:25
Speaker 2: are they when you see stories like that. And by
6:28
Speaker 2: the way, three strikes returns from today from this morning,
6:33
Speaker 2: it's just gone quarter past five. Read you're on news
6:37
Speaker 2: talk said be smoking, well, not smoking, but vaping. Disposable
6:41
Speaker 2: vapes are out from today. Advertising rules are being tight
6:44
Speaker 2: and it's all about and effort to cut the teenage
6:46
Speaker 2: vape rate of ten percent. Ben Yoden is Action for
6:50
Speaker 2: Smoke Free twenty twenty five directive with us this morning.
6:52
Speaker 2: Hey Ben, good morning. Good to have you on the show.
6:56
Speaker 2: So we're never actually going to see vapes. If we
6:59
Speaker 2: go into a deary from today, we're not actually going
7:01
Speaker 2: to see them anymore, are we.
7:04
Speaker 9: No, Well, the rules are changing to get rid of
7:06
Speaker 9: disposable vapes, as you say, but also to make them
7:10
Speaker 9: less visible retail, so particularly in the specialist fake retailers
7:16
Speaker 9: that as of today you're not supposed to be able
7:19
Speaker 9: to see them from outside the store or even on
7:22
Speaker 9: their websites as well, So trying to make them much
7:25
Speaker 9: less appealing from outside the shops.
7:28
Speaker 2: Does that actually work because we've put cigarettes behind a screen,
7:31
Speaker 2: remember when we did that. Does that actually stop demand
7:34
Speaker 2: or is it really just at the end of the
7:36
Speaker 2: day price that does that?
7:39
Speaker 10: Well.
7:39
Speaker 9: I think with cigarette it's been a combination of lots
7:41
Speaker 9: and lots of things, including price and putting out a
7:44
Speaker 9: display and making the packages play with vapes, we're looking
7:47
Speaker 9: at something slightly different because we do want them to
7:50
Speaker 9: be available for adults who smoke, and they're using them
7:53
Speaker 9: to stop smoking and have appeal compared to a cigarette.
7:57
Speaker 9: But what we don't want is for them to be
8:00
Speaker 9: marketed in a way or sold at a price point
8:02
Speaker 9: that is appealing to young people and people have never
8:05
Speaker 9: smoked as well. So it's about trying to get that
8:07
Speaker 9: balance right.
8:09
Speaker 2: Do we have it right? Because the thing is, with smoking,
8:11
Speaker 2: they put the price up every year, what is it,
8:14
Speaker 2: ten percent? I think they've paused it, but that's what
8:16
Speaker 2: made people stop smoking. I thought, oh my god, I
8:18
Speaker 2: literally can't afford their so I either have to steal
8:20
Speaker 2: them or not smoke anymore. Whereas with vapor and they're
8:23
Speaker 2: not moving the price right.
8:26
Speaker 9: Well, I think pricing has definitely had a massive impact
8:28
Speaker 9: with smoking, and actually we're probably the most expensive country
8:32
Speaker 9: in the world relative to income to buy cigarettes now,
8:36
Speaker 9: although the situation at the moment we still have smoking
8:40
Speaker 9: very concentrated in our kind of lower income populations and
8:44
Speaker 9: still much high rates for Maori and Pacific. So having
8:49
Speaker 9: more affordable, less harmful al turn it's accessible to people
8:52
Speaker 9: who are still smoking, I think is still really really important.
8:56
Speaker 9: But for young people, doing things like getting rid of
8:58
Speaker 9: the disposable vapes which are really cheap and accessible and
9:02
Speaker 9: still have been at kind of pocket when the price
9:05
Speaker 9: is really fibll ten dollars, and just leaving things that
9:08
Speaker 9: are still cheap in cigarettes, but not so cheap that
9:12
Speaker 9: they're very easy to buy. I think it's part of
9:15
Speaker 9: trying to get that balance that we haven't necessarily had
9:17
Speaker 9: right so far.
9:19
Speaker 2: All right, Ben, appreciate your time, Ben Yoden, the you
9:21
Speaker 2: didn't rather the Action for Smoke Free twenty twenty five director,
9:24
Speaker 2: It is seventeen ourf for five. Y're on News Talks.
9:26
Speaker 2: There'd be there's a new poll out this morning. How
9:29
Speaker 2: do we feel about China and America? Do we think
9:32
Speaker 2: they are our friends or do we think they are
9:34
Speaker 2: our foes? The results next.
9:36
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge on Early edition with x Pole Insulation, Keeping
9:41
Speaker 1: Kiwi Holmes warm and try this winter News Talks heavy.
9:44
Speaker 2: Good Morning Australia correspondent after the News at five point
9:47
Speaker 2: thirty and we'll get to the Middle East before six.
9:49
Speaker 2: Right now, Doctor Jillian McDonald, Director of Research and Engagement.
9:52
Speaker 2: This is Asian New Zealand Foundation. They've got a new
9:55
Speaker 2: survey out this morning, and it shows that our trust
9:58
Speaker 2: in China are slipping. Forty percent cent of us see
10:00
Speaker 2: China is a threat, and that is up from twenty
10:04
Speaker 2: eight percent in November last year. We're not exactly loving
10:07
Speaker 2: America either. By the way, I have hit print on
10:10
Speaker 2: something in the studio and I don't know how to
10:13
Speaker 2: stop it, and it's printing one word per page, So
10:18
Speaker 2: you're just gonna have to put up with that for
10:19
Speaker 2: a little bit. Sorry about that. Doctor Julia McDonald is
10:22
Speaker 2: with the Asian New Zealand Foundation and is with me
10:24
Speaker 2: this morning. Doctor Juli, Good morning, Good morning. Worry about
10:28
Speaker 2: the printing noise?
10:29
Speaker 4: My bad, No, no, I can't even hear it.
10:31
Speaker 2: Oh good, okay, I shouldn't have mentioned it. Of us,
10:35
Speaker 2: see China is a threat. That's up from twenty eight
10:37
Speaker 2: percent November last year. Is this because of the live
10:39
Speaker 2: firing drills? What do you put it down to?
10:42
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's exactly right. The events in the
10:45
Speaker 4: world around us always impact our survey results. And at
10:48
Speaker 4: the time of the Mini poll, which was the updated
10:51
Speaker 4: survey in March, there was the live fire military drills
10:54
Speaker 4: and China had also just signed the Comprehensive Strategic partnership
10:57
Speaker 4: with the Cook Islands, and I think there's event, combined
11:00
Speaker 4: with the events that were taking place in the US
11:02
Speaker 4: and Washington, DC at the time, really impacted New Zealand's.
11:06
Speaker 4: New Zealander's perceptions.
11:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, our perception not just of China but also the States.
11:10
Speaker 2: What do we think about them?
11:13
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I mean that was the time where we
11:15
Speaker 4: just had President Trump meeting with Zelenski in the Oval Office.
11:19
Speaker 4: We had tariffs being put on Canada, Mexico, a lot
11:22
Speaker 4: of unpredictability in the world, and so you see that
11:25
Speaker 4: reflected in these spikes and stepperceptions and the drop and
11:29
Speaker 4: prem perceptions especially these are each China and the United States.
11:32
Speaker 2: Interesting though, that we see China not as a friend necessarily,
11:37
Speaker 2: you know, more as we're more skeptical of them, of
11:41
Speaker 2: course than we are of America. But we also understand
11:44
Speaker 2: the importance of our economic relationship to the point where
11:48
Speaker 2: we're basically willing to suck it up, aren't we.
11:51
Speaker 4: Well, I think we appreciate the importance of that economic relationship.
11:55
Speaker 4: You're absolutely right, you know, a top of the list
11:58
Speaker 4: of the most important countries for New Zealand future as
12:00
Speaker 4: China by quite a significant margin. It's been top for
12:04
Speaker 4: many years now, and it is because we have such
12:07
Speaker 4: an important relationship with China. We understand the need to
12:09
Speaker 4: continue to engage China and it's just vital to our
12:13
Speaker 4: national interest to do so.
12:16
Speaker 2: I really appreciate your time this morning, Julia, thanks for
12:18
Speaker 2: coming on the program. That's doctor Julian McDonald from Asia
12:21
Speaker 2: New Zealand Foundation. The print is still going. Can you
12:23
Speaker 2: hear that? It's I don't know what's happened, but it's
12:26
Speaker 2: printing one sentence per page, and then it's skipping a page.
12:32
Speaker 2: So like this page says forty percent of US see
12:34
Speaker 2: China as a threat, up from twenty eight percent last year.
12:36
Speaker 2: Then there's a blank page, and then there's the next
12:39
Speaker 2: page it says but we're not exactly loving America either.
12:43
Speaker 2: So yeah, this is how much paper? Did you hear that? Anyway,
12:51
Speaker 2: it is twenty three minutes after five. I don't know
12:53
Speaker 2: what I've done, but I'll sort it out during the
12:55
Speaker 2: break for you, and when we come back, a look
12:57
Speaker 2: at some data, some economic data from the last couple
13:00
Speaker 2: of days. What it could mean for our quarter two
13:04
Speaker 2: because we'll get quarter one data out Thursday, of course,
13:06
Speaker 2: But what does it mean for quarter two, the one
13:08
Speaker 2: that we're actually currently in, and what could that mean
13:11
Speaker 2: for your mortgage interest rates, which is the thing we
13:13
Speaker 2: really care about. That's next the early.
13:15
Speaker 1: Edition full show podcast on Iartradio how ad By News Talks.
13:20
Speaker 2: Av News Talks b It is twenty five minutes after five.
13:23
Speaker 2: If growth is the game that we're in, then the
13:26
Speaker 2: Reserve Bank should keep cutting interest rates. The problem with
13:30
Speaker 2: growth is it's not the game they're in. They're in
13:33
Speaker 2: the business of taming inflation and that's about it. The
13:37
Speaker 2: government ditched the dual mandate. Remember this introduced by the
13:39
Speaker 2: last lot that saw Adrian Or and co. Also focus
13:43
Speaker 2: on keeping people in jobs. They called it max Maximum
13:46
Speaker 2: sustainable employment. That's now gone. And inflation is the aim
13:52
Speaker 2: of the game, and inflation is in the band. So
13:55
Speaker 2: the bank is going to take things slow. They're going
13:57
Speaker 2: to ease the next few cuts over a longer period
13:59
Speaker 2: of time, basically for fear that they'll overcook the whole
14:03
Speaker 2: thing again. They'll be thinking, of course, about Trump and
14:06
Speaker 2: his tariffs and the fear of price hikes, even though
14:08
Speaker 2: these haven't materialized even in the data out of the
14:11
Speaker 2: United States as yet. They'll be worried about the Middle East.
14:14
Speaker 2: They'll be worried about the price of oil as a
14:16
Speaker 2: result of the Middle East. It's an important cost, of course,
14:19
Speaker 2: and it's in everything, not just our cars, transport of goods, production,
14:25
Speaker 2: you name it. Directly and indirectly contributes up to thirty
14:29
Speaker 2: percent of our inflation when the price is high, like
14:32
Speaker 2: when somebody's dropping bombs in the Middle East. But that
14:35
Speaker 2: wouldn't be my main concern if I was setting monetary policy,
14:40
Speaker 2: not that anyone would let me. Sure, we'll get a
14:43
Speaker 2: solid growth number of around zero point seven percent for
14:46
Speaker 2: quarter one on Thursday. But there's been a couple of
14:48
Speaker 2: signs this week, just a few little ones, that things
14:51
Speaker 2: are a bit shaky for quarter two, the one we're
14:54
Speaker 2: in now this year. Yesterday it was May Day calls
14:57
Speaker 2: from the services sector going back goods for the month again,
15:01
Speaker 2: this time a bigger drop than last and again way
15:05
Speaker 2: out of whack with our trading partners. And our golden
15:08
Speaker 2: dairy run will continue, don't worry. I'm not saying that won't.
15:12
Speaker 2: But there are signs, early signs that production is going
15:15
Speaker 2: to be ramping up around the world, and of course
15:17
Speaker 2: that affects the price brings it down. Cutting rates sooner
15:21
Speaker 2: and faster would help avoid any surgical complications as we
15:26
Speaker 2: revive the economy which has been, let's face it, a
15:30
Speaker 2: very sick patient for a very long time. Ryan Bridge,
15:35
Speaker 2: twenty eight minutes after five, you're on news TALKSB. You'll
15:38
Speaker 2: be pleased to know the printer Glenn has come in.
15:40
Speaker 2: Thank you, Glenn kindly come in to stop the printer
15:43
Speaker 2: from printing. And there's a good I don't know, there's
15:47
Speaker 2: a good half a tree there, I think on the
15:48
Speaker 2: desk at the moment. I said, the Greens are releasing
15:51
Speaker 2: their physical policy today. So this isn't an ode to you, Chloe.
15:57
Speaker 2: That's how much paper i'd is waste it. Twenty eight
15:59
Speaker 2: minutes after five, So the Iran obviously it's still going
16:03
Speaker 2: run as well. Nothing's changed there but potentially waving the
16:07
Speaker 2: white flag. They are through Arab intermediaries are talking about
16:13
Speaker 2: potential ceasefire, wanting to get back to the table on
16:17
Speaker 2: the nuclear deal. They'll be worried about regime change, of course,
16:20
Speaker 2: won't they, Because lots of Iranians would actually celebrate the
16:23
Speaker 2: fact that their leaders downfall. Israel is knocking out State
16:28
Speaker 2: TV as well, you would have heard that in the
16:30
Speaker 2: agenda this morning. Started bombing State TV as they're alive
16:34
Speaker 2: on here, the studio falling to pieces behind the presenter.
16:39
Speaker 2: And once you start doing that, you knock out the
16:40
Speaker 2: propaganda arm. You start to get yourself in a bit
16:42
Speaker 2: of trouble. So they will be worried about that, which
16:44
Speaker 2: is why they are apparently through some Arab intermediaries talking
16:48
Speaker 2: to the US and talking to the Israelis about a
16:50
Speaker 2: potential ceasefire. We'll have the latest from the G seven
16:53
Speaker 2: over in Canada, our Australia correspondent, our reporters around the country,
16:57
Speaker 2: and we will get an update on Israel Iran before
17:01
Speaker 2: six o'clock. All Ahead News Talk said B.
17:18
Speaker 10: I thank you your far.
17:23
Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth
17:25
Speaker 1: analysis earlier this year with Ryan Bridge and ex Pol
17:29
Speaker 1: insulation keeping Kili Holmes warm and dry this winter News
17:33
Speaker 1: Talk set B.
17:43
Speaker 2: Good morning, twenty four minutes away from the sexy News Talks. B.
17:46
Speaker 2: We'll get to the Middle East just before six o'clock
17:48
Speaker 2: this morning. Donald Demo out of Australia. Next albanize A
17:52
Speaker 2: getting a face to face sit down, handshake, gripp and
17:56
Speaker 2: grin pull and squeeze whatever you want to call it.
17:59
Speaker 2: Where Trump over the G seven summit in Canada, so
18:02
Speaker 2: we'll get the lowdown on exactly what he's going to
18:04
Speaker 2: get out of that. Ryan. This is on the pay equity.
18:08
Speaker 2: So you had pay equity and then now you got
18:10
Speaker 2: well at the same time. Actually that they even a
18:13
Speaker 2: year earlier that they then they announced pay equity, they
18:15
Speaker 2: announced these changes the pro ratering of sickly. Right, it's
18:19
Speaker 2: hard to imagine. This is from Harry. Good morning, Harry, Ryan.
18:21
Speaker 2: Hard to imagine that the smashing of pay equity and
18:26
Speaker 2: the changes to workers sick pay is anything but a
18:29
Speaker 2: war on women. I've seen it nurses, teachers, sales staff,
18:32
Speaker 2: bank staff, supermarket et cetera, all mostly women. I'm a
18:35
Speaker 2: man and I've seen it all. Harry. This is a war, Harry.
18:38
Speaker 2: It's not a war on women. If you make a
18:40
Speaker 2: change and it so happens to affect one group of
18:44
Speaker 2: people more than another, does that mean you're at war
18:46
Speaker 2: with that group of people. Does that mean you're targeting
18:49
Speaker 2: those people or does it mean you're trying to save
18:51
Speaker 2: employers money? Because the cost of sickly for a part
18:55
Speaker 2: time worker is completely unreasonable. I mean if you work
19:00
Speaker 2: lez then you won't need as much sickly Is that not?
19:04
Speaker 2: Is that not common sense? Am I going crazy here?
19:08
Speaker 2: Nine two nine two? It is twenty two to six.
19:11
Speaker 2: Bryan Bridge, Our reporters around the country. Calm, I nearly
19:17
Speaker 2: said a naughty word. Our reporters around the country. Carlum
19:21
Speaker 2: Proctor with us now, Calum, good morning, good morning, right
19:24
Speaker 2: good Davy on the show and the big step forward
19:26
Speaker 2: for Dunedin's new hospital. What's happening?
19:30
Speaker 11: A Crown manager has been appointed to oversee this project.
19:33
Speaker 11: Health Minister Simeon Brown making the announcement even Davies will
19:37
Speaker 11: lead the delivery of this impatient facility, which includes confirming
19:41
Speaker 11: the procurement approach and finalizing this construction contract. This is
19:45
Speaker 11: the one point eight billion dollar project here. He has
19:49
Speaker 11: more than thirty years of senior leadership experience. He was
19:51
Speaker 11: the chair of the christ Church Hospital Redevelopment Partnership Group
19:55
Speaker 11: for a decade. Simeon Brown says this step will help
19:57
Speaker 11: ensure the project remains on track and as a well
20:00
Speaker 11: class facility. Work on the building set to resume soon
20:03
Speaker 11: and be completed by twenty thirty one.
20:06
Speaker 2: How's your weather minus four at.
20:09
Speaker 11: The airport at the moment, such a frosty one, but
20:12
Speaker 11: a fine day had a high of eleven today.
20:14
Speaker 2: All right, stay warm, callum, thank you? Clearis in Christich
20:16
Speaker 2: Hey Claire morning, good to see hear from you. How's
20:19
Speaker 2: your weather? First of all, is it as chilly there
20:21
Speaker 2: as it is in Needin this morning?
20:23
Speaker 12: Cold here too, but it's looking like it's about minus
20:26
Speaker 12: two at the moment to getting up to eleven today.
20:29
Speaker 2: All right. And this story, man, it was hard to
20:32
Speaker 2: watch on the news last night, but the guy who
20:33
Speaker 2: killed this poor woman in her garden actually had killed before.
20:37
Speaker 9: Yeah.
20:38
Speaker 12: Eighty three year old Francis Phelps, who was known as Fay,
20:41
Speaker 12: was murdered in her a garden, as you say, at
20:43
Speaker 12: Mount Pleasant in October last year. The gardener, Elliott Cameron,
20:47
Speaker 12: was responsible for that. We've known that he was a
20:50
Speaker 12: mental health patient. He was voluntarily living at Hilmorton Hospital
20:53
Speaker 12: at the time, and he was sentenced last week to
20:56
Speaker 12: a minimum non parole period of ten years. But otherwise
20:59
Speaker 12: at life in prison today or as of last night,
21:02
Speaker 12: we can reveal it wasn't the first time he had killed.
21:05
Speaker 12: Our newsroom has been applying to the courts for the
21:08
Speaker 12: lifting of a fifty year old suppression order so we
21:11
Speaker 12: can report that Cameron in fact killed his brother, shooting
21:14
Speaker 12: him while he slept while they were both in their twenties.
21:16
Speaker 12: That was back in nineteen seventy five. He was found
21:19
Speaker 12: not guilty on insanity grounds. The daughter of his second victim,
21:24
Speaker 12: Karen Phelps, says her mother simply had no way of
21:27
Speaker 12: knowing the risk and someone with his history should never
21:30
Speaker 12: have been allowed to be unsupervised. She says, yes, he
21:32
Speaker 12: was an odd character, but nothing about him had indicated
21:35
Speaker 12: the violence that he might inflict on their mother. Phelps
21:39
Speaker 12: now wants Hilmoton Hospital to release the to realize rather
21:42
Speaker 12: the impact of their decisions around his care.
21:45
Speaker 2: Thanks so much for that, clear Maxis and Wellington This morning, Max,
21:48
Speaker 2: good morning, Good morning. Now this floating cafe for sale.
21:51
Speaker 2: This is at Orangel Bit next to the swimming pool.
21:54
Speaker 2: I've been there for one of my grandma's birthdays and man,
21:58
Speaker 2: was it nice. Nut.
22:01
Speaker 5: It does look like a bit of a tub from
22:02
Speaker 5: the outside, doesn't it, But good harbor views at least.
22:06
Speaker 2: Well no, because they've got the small portholes on the side.
22:08
Speaker 2: You can literally you canrently see anything. And it's one
22:11
Speaker 2: of those places with a cellard bar. You know that's
22:14
Speaker 2: never a good sign anyway. What's happening with it?
22:16
Speaker 5: Yeah, well it is for sale, perhaps not coincidentally. Yeah,
22:21
Speaker 5: sixty six year old restaurant and cafe two hundred and
22:24
Speaker 5: twenty thousand dollars. The catch is you're just paying for
22:26
Speaker 5: the venue if you want to buy it, rather than
22:28
Speaker 5: the boat itself. It's a as you say, decommissioned old
22:31
Speaker 5: tug boat. So submarine trust I suppose will be your landlord.
22:35
Speaker 5: In other news in the Capitol this morning, genuine I
22:38
Speaker 5: saw the abandoned Gordon Wilson Flats, probably by Shade, the
22:42
Speaker 5: city's ugliest building, This towering monstrosity up on the terrace.
22:47
Speaker 5: It's been the subject of a long, long running heritage battle.
22:50
Speaker 5: It's quake prone, abandoned. The good news is that the
22:53
Speaker 5: heritage protection is today to be stripped by the Housing Minister,
22:57
Speaker 5: which does finally clear the way for its demolition. A
23:00
Speaker 5: good story in the Post this morning, Frustrated owners Victoria
23:03
Speaker 5: University can now go ahead and build new accommodation for students.

23:14

Speaker 3: thirty nine businesses debuting. More than three thousand nominations came
23:56
Speaker 3: in from the public, which was up by sixty seven
23:58
Speaker 3: percent on last year. Now, some of these ones you'll
24:02
Speaker 3: probably know these places. Was Bar Magda's Charcoal Steak made
24:06
Speaker 3: the cut. That's near k Roade. Apparently Bari's Pizza Deluxe
24:09
Speaker 3: Pepperoni Pizza haven't been there Eden noodles, dumplings and spicy sawce.
24:14
Speaker 2: Yeah that's good and yes, and I.
24:17
Speaker 3: Used to go there Quittament. This is several years ago.
24:19
Speaker 3: This was because you know how the original shop there,
24:22
Speaker 3: there's only like four or five tables.
24:24
Speaker 9: Yes, and I got.
24:25
Speaker 3: This big bowl. I was with a friend, big bowl
24:27
Speaker 3: of dumplings. It was super, super spicy. I had a
24:30
Speaker 3: coughing fit. It was so embarrassing.
24:33
Speaker 2: Oh the Sish run pepper, yes, down my.
24:37
Speaker 3: Throat and I was trying to throw all these dumplings
24:38
Speaker 3: in at the same time. The staff had to come
24:41
Speaker 3: running around. They felt so sorry for me because I
24:43
Speaker 3: was coughing. I actually had to go outside. Thank goodness,
24:46
Speaker 3: are only four tables.
24:47
Speaker 2: People saw me and they I don't know how they've
24:49
Speaker 2: kept their prices at twelve dollars for twelve of them,
24:52
Speaker 2: but they still the price hasn't changed. And there's always
24:55
Speaker 2: a queue out the door.
24:56
Speaker 3: There was always a cue from eleven am.
24:59
Speaker 2: Yep, all right to needles, everybody house our weather.
25:01
Speaker 3: Neiva fine fine fifteen is a high, brilliant thank you.
25:04
Speaker 2: I like this text from Die. It says Ryan, if
25:06
Speaker 2: it's a war against women, it must be a war
25:10
Speaker 2: against men not to treat full time workers like part
25:13
Speaker 2: time workers. In other words, the current situation must be
25:16
Speaker 2: a war on men. Well that's a very good point.
25:18
Speaker 2: Die sixteen to six News Talks, said b Donna de
25:21
Speaker 2: Mayo out of Australia.
25:22
Speaker 1: Next international correspondence with ends in eye insurance peace of
25:26
Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business, New.
25:29
Speaker 2: Talks said is fourteen away from six. We'll get to
25:31
Speaker 2: some of your texts just before six o'clock. Also we'll
25:33
Speaker 2: have the latest on the Middle East. Then right now,
25:35
Speaker 2: Donna Demeyo, Australia correspondent, Good morning.
25:37
Speaker 13: Donna, good morning.
25:39
Speaker 2: Now the situation in Sydney, these guys sit down for lunch,
25:44
Speaker 2: three people get shot in broad daylight.
25:47
Speaker 13: Yes, mass gunman shot three people at a Sydney kebub shop.
25:51
Speaker 13: And the word brazen has been used a lot because yes,
25:55
Speaker 13: it was a daylight attack. It was the middle of
25:57
Speaker 13: the afternoon in southwest Sydney. And what are the three
26:00
Speaker 13: victims of this horrifying shooting in Auburn has had two
26:04
Speaker 13: previous attempts on his life, according to police. We've heard
26:07
Speaker 13: from the acting New South Wales Police Commissioner Peter Thurtle,
26:10
Speaker 13: and he says it's beyond comprehension that three people could
26:13
Speaker 13: be gunned down in Sydney in daylight. Eight shots were fired.
26:17
Speaker 13: Now the three people wounded, a twenty six year old man,
26:20
Speaker 13: another yet to be identified, and a fifty year old
26:23
Speaker 13: woman who is a shop employee. Now all of them
26:25
Speaker 13: are in hospital. The twenty six year old had reported
26:28
Speaker 13: to police on bail an hour earlier. So the acting
26:33
Speaker 13: Police Commissioner says it's outrageous that, as he put it,
26:37
Speaker 13: these people have taken their fight to the streets of Sydney.
26:40
Speaker 13: Now we know about a task force that was set
26:42
Speaker 13: up about six or seven months ago, and it's a
26:46
Speaker 13: task force for about one hundred and fifty detectives and
26:48
Speaker 13: they're going to investigate this latest shooting. But it was
26:52
Speaker 13: set up, as I mentioned, a few months ago, after
26:56
Speaker 13: nine shootings between warring criminal gains and as we heard
27:02
Speaker 13: from the acting Police Commissioner, as I said, it's not
27:05
Speaker 13: what we expect in this city, all right, And.
27:09
Speaker 2: What about Trump and Albanese's a meeting, I should say
27:13
Speaker 2: in Canada, the G seven, What are they going to
27:14
Speaker 2: talk about? What does Albanese want any minute?
27:17
Speaker 13: Now? Any minute? So I think it's going to be
27:20
Speaker 13: tomorrow morning, very very very early our time, and it
27:24
Speaker 13: is the first face to face meeting between Albanzi and
27:27
Speaker 13: Donald Trump. Now they have had three, as Albanese put it,
27:33
Speaker 13: constructive phone conversations in the past. These phone chats have happened,
27:38
Speaker 13: but the PM says that there are many issues the
27:41
Speaker 13: US president is dealing with at the moment, but he
27:43
Speaker 13: does expect to have a constructive engagement with Trump. Now
27:49
Speaker 13: we know that Albanesi has previously said that Trump's tariff
27:52
Speaker 13: regime is an act of economic self harm, so we
27:55
Speaker 13: can only imagine that of course, the proposed tariffs on's
28:00
Speaker 13: Ozzie Steele, they're going to come up, and he hopes
28:04
Speaker 13: to revisit those and also discuss the benefits of the
28:08
Speaker 13: ORCUST agreement, saying that of course he believes that all
28:11
Speaker 13: three nations, the US, Australia and the UK all benefit
28:15
Speaker 13: from ORCUST, so he's hoping to talk that up as well.
28:18
Speaker 13: So let's wait and see how it all pans out
28:21
Speaker 13: between the Prime Minister and Donald Trump.
28:24
Speaker 2: All right, Donald, appreciate your time this morning, Donald to
28:25
Speaker 2: Mayo our Australia, corresponding he's already met Carney, of course,
28:28
Speaker 2: over in Canada, they've had little gripp and grinnin and
28:31
Speaker 2: a smile for the cameras. By the way, it is
28:34
Speaker 2: what are we the seventeenth of June. And remember by
28:38
Speaker 2: July ninth Trump said he would have dozens of deals signed,
28:42
Speaker 2: dozens of trade deals signed, and he's basically got half
28:45
Speaker 2: of well, a narrow one with the UK, and he's
28:49
Speaker 2: got a truce with China and very little else to
28:51
Speaker 2: show for it. So is the G seven the place
28:54
Speaker 2: to get the business done? It's ten to six, Bryan Bridge.
28:57
Speaker 2: This is the sound of an Iranian state TV broadcaster
29:00
Speaker 2: interrupted by an Israeli missile live on the ear. Oh ye,
29:10
Speaker 2: you could see the debris falling and the screens crashing
29:12
Speaker 2: behind you. The bombardment both sides continuing overnight. Greg Calstrom
29:17
Speaker 2: is Middle East correspondent with US This morning, Greg, Good morning.
29:22
Speaker 10: Hi, good morning to you.
29:23
Speaker 2: We're hearing we might be close to some sort of
29:26
Speaker 2: talks of the Iranians apparently waving a bit of a
29:28
Speaker 2: white flag through some Arab allies. What are you hearing, well.
29:34
Speaker 10: I'm not sure I would read it quite as a
29:36
Speaker 10: white flag. The Iranians are willing to talk about a
29:40
Speaker 10: mutual ceasefire where both sides would stop shooting. But I
29:44
Speaker 10: don't think either Israel or the United States are at
29:47
Speaker 10: a point where they're going to push for that. The
29:49
Speaker 10: Israelis have been planning this war for years. Obviously, they're
29:54
Speaker 10: not willing to stop after just a few days with
29:56
Speaker 10: money of their military goals on met, so they will
29:59
Speaker 10: want the press ahead. And the Americans are insisting that
30:03
Speaker 10: they're going to talk to the Iranians. They want to
30:05
Speaker 10: talk about a nuclear deal, something that will impose restrictions
30:09
Speaker 10: on Iran's nuclear program. As far as I can tell,
30:11
Speaker 10: Iran is not willing to make any concessions yet around
30:14
Speaker 10: its nuclear program. So I think we're actually still some
30:18
Speaker 10: ways away from any kind of serious negotiations starting.
30:21
Speaker 2: Are we any closer to this expanding into a more
30:25
Speaker 2: regional war or for bigger pliers, other pliers getting involved,
30:28
Speaker 2: or do you think this will stay contained?
30:33
Speaker 10: I think so long as the United States does not
30:35
Speaker 10: get involved, it will stay contained. I don't think Iran
30:39
Speaker 10: is going to, for example, strike at Arab states and
30:43
Speaker 10: the Gulf, or strike at American bases in the region
30:46
Speaker 10: right now, because it doesn't want to draw America into
30:49
Speaker 10: the war, but Israel has asked the US to join
30:53
Speaker 10: the fighting to help carry out air strikes on four
30:55
Speaker 10: dou which is this enrichment facility in Iran, dug into
30:59
Speaker 10: the side of a mountain. It's very far underground. It's
31:02
Speaker 10: hard for Israeli planes to reach it with their bombs.
31:05
Speaker 10: You need American bombers that can deliver much heavier bombs.
31:08
Speaker 10: So Israel has asked the United States to help with
31:11
Speaker 10: those strikes. I think if Donald Trump goes along with that,
31:14
Speaker 10: if there is an offensive American role in this war,
31:18
Speaker 10: at that point, you could see Iran try to widen
31:21
Speaker 10: the war, strike at regional targets and hope that countries
31:24
Speaker 10: in the region will put pressure on America and Israel
31:27
Speaker 10: to stop.
31:28
Speaker 2: Interesting analysis. Really appreciate your time, Greg, Greg Calstrom and
31:31
Speaker 2: Middle East correspondent with us this morning. It is seven
31:34
Speaker 2: minutes away from six year on News Talk said, be
31:36
Speaker 2: a micro say with us.
31:37
Speaker 8: Next the first word on the News of the Day
31:41
Speaker 8: early edition with Ryan Bridge and ex Fole Insulation keeping
31:45
Speaker 8: Kiwi Holmes warm and dry this winter, News Talk said, be.
31:49
Speaker 2: Loads of takes from women business owners this morning, five
31:53
Speaker 2: away from six Ryan, I'm a female hospitality business owner
31:56
Speaker 2: with fifteen staff. Six of them work two days a week.
32:00
Speaker 2: They are all students, both male and female. Should they
32:03
Speaker 2: really all get ten days sick leave? Or and do
32:06
Speaker 2: they really need it? It is not a war on women.
32:08
Speaker 2: For goodness, sakes five away from six Brian Bread Mike's here,
32:14
Speaker 2: Good morning Mike.
32:15
Speaker 14: That the whole thing yesterday was the funniest story. So
32:19
Speaker 14: it came out of my show. Yes, I listened because Paul,
32:22
Speaker 14: my tech guy, came round.
32:24
Speaker 2: Do you know what annoyed me about the story is
32:26
Speaker 2: the fact that Luxon dug an unnecessary hole for himself.
32:30
Speaker 2: This policy was announced a year ago. Yeah, not all
32:33
Speaker 2: of it.
32:34
Speaker 14: Though the pro rata thing wasn't the one to eighty thousand, No, the.
32:37
Speaker 2: Pro rata was it was four in twenty twenty four.
32:40
Speaker 14: Because one of the things we've learned about Luxon is
32:43
Speaker 14: that he can't hide himself visually. No, as soon as
32:47
Speaker 14: I told him the story and I said what are
32:48
Speaker 14: we doing about this?
32:49
Speaker 2: His face it goes flushed.
32:51
Speaker 14: It flushed, and he went fearful.
32:53
Speaker 2: But also he's not across He's not across the detail
32:57
Speaker 2: of things as I think a prime minister should.
32:59
Speaker 14: Be it's funny say that. I tend to agree in
33:02
Speaker 14: terms of it, and I've always seen him as I
33:04
