  Speaker 2: and it's now seven minutes after five.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: The agenda.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: It's Monday, the fourteenth of July, It's best deal day
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: for France. First though to the Middle East, and ten people,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: including six children, have been killed in an Israeli airstrike
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: while waiting to fill water containers in central Gaza. The
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Israeli military say there was a technical error with a
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: strike targeting an Islamic jihad terrorist that caused the munition
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: to fall dozens of meters from the target.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: The eyewitnesses there say that Israeli soldiers had fired on
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: the crowd. Now, the Israeli militaries say that they do
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: not fire at people deliberately, and the organization which is
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: US and Israeli back that now has taken over the
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: distribution of aid from the United Nations in Gaza has
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: actually accused the Yuan of using misleading information.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: So to the trade wars, and countries are rushing to
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: get trade deals done with the States before the August
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: first deadline. The EU and Mexico say they're disappointed with
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Trump's threat to impose thirty percent tariffs on their imports.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: We are not there yet.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: This is very important.
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: This is now the time for negotiations, but this also
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: shows we are prepared for all eventual scenarios.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: That's ursula from Europe. Trump is warning that he will
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: impose even higher import texes as if either of the
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: countries decided to retaliate. And over the weekend we got
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: the preliminary report findings into the Air India plane crash
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: which killed two hundred and sixty people. Turns out both
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: fuel control switches on the plane were cut off sickens
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: after take off they ran out of gas, but we
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: don't know how or why they were moved.
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: At this stage, the Indian authorities have said that there
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: isn't cause for concern in relation to the aircraft or
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: the engines, and I think that will be reassuring to
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: people who are flying.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: And the It's now nine minutes after five.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Andrew
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Dickins and Expole Insulation keeping Kiwi homes warm and dry
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: this winter news Talks at.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Be Well last week saw the debate over the Regulatory
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Standards Bill continue. They had submissions being heard. The bill
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: requires that new and existing legislation be assessed for consistency
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: with the principles of responsible regulation. It establishes a Regulatory
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Standards Board to independently consider the consistency of legislation with
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: those principles. It outlines what those principles are, even though
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: there's already guidelines for making law available to every politician
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: drafting a law and a committee to oversee it that
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: called the Legislation Design and Advisory Committee. Now they've already
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: had a look at Seymour's bill and they say, well,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: we've got misgivings about the capacity of this bill to
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: offer improvement and it might have significant unintended consequences. Anyway,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: this bill will set up a Ministry of Regulation to
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: act as a central agency to improve the quality of
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: our laws and our regulations. And of course Mary don't
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: like it because there are no treaty causes in it,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: and they think that treaty causes in other bills or
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: moves that are advantageous to Mali could be criticized by
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: this board. So they hate it, and in fact all
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: the left hate it. They're calling it a neoliberal takeover bid.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: The right love it because they could get a ministry
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: in a board that could rip left policy to bits.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: But you know what, I'm not sure I like it
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: because of this board, who are non elected appointed by
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: a government and who then could be part of electioneering
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: and criticism of ideas presented by parties. It feels a
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: little bit undemocratic, and it's an extraordinary amount of power
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: to be given to a board, isn't it. We all
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: want responsibly written legislation which doesn't include pie in the
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: sky imaginative costings, but having this super board and ministry
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: rolling around becoming part of the debate seems like giving
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: even more power to the bureaucrats. And in fact, I'm
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: surprised it's Ax's idea, what z B. So if you
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: opened up the paper this weekend, you would have seen
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: a letter from a whole lot of people asking for
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: immediate reform to our energy sector. They believe the energy
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: sect does not working. I agree, we're all good at
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: identifying problems. What we're not good at is coming up
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: with answers. So anyway, John Duffy from Consumer is one
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: of the signatories to this open letter, and so we're
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: going to be talking to him next here on News Talks.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Here B this his early edition.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: News and Views you Trust to start your day. It's
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: early edition with Andrew Dickins at ex Pole Insulation, keeping
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Kiwi Holmes warm and dry. This winter News Talk sat B.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: It is thirteen minutes out of five, two all. In
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: the third set, it's one set all. This is our
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: chorab versus Sinnami. More on this with Andrew Ordison in
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: a few moments. So I'm actually speaking about sport. I
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: watched that combined Australian New Zealand team paying the Lions.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: They got wallopped, and it's not really surprising. They went
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: together for very long seven days and a lot of
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: them had never played together anyway. During the commentary, they
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: kept on calling them the aun Z's, the au n Z's,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: and I thought, why aren't they calling them the ANZACs?
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Is there a problem with calling them an ANZACs? What
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: would you call this team? Because I think this team
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: is going to be a thing going forward. I'll talk
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: more about this with Andrew in a few moments time.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: You can text me ninety two ninety two small charge applies.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: What would you call this au n Z team? Now?
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Over the weekend, a group of well known organizations published
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: an open letter to the Prime Minister calling for the
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: immediate reform to our energy sector. They believe the current
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: system holds back productivity and isn't in the best interest
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: of New Zealanders and that's true, and some of the
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: signatories include the EMA, two degrees and Consumer New Zealand.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: So from Consumer we've got their chief executive, John Duffy,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: who's woken up early for us. Good morning to you, John,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Good morning. How's it going good? Why an open letter?
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: Well, we think the time is right. I mean there's
• 7:04
  Speaker 7: a lot of pressure coming from a lot of sectors
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: and we really wanted to demonstrate that quite a disparate
• 7:11
  Speaker 7: group of organizations with lots of different purposes can actually
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: get together and be quite aligned on an issue as
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: important as this. And we've got a number of things
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: that are happening in the sector, and one of the
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: key ones is that there's a brand new review of
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: how the sector's performing sitting on the Minister's desk. The
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: Cabinet and the Minister are considering their options right now,
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: and we really wanted to send a message to say, hey,
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: you've got this huge group of organizations here that's really
• 7:44
  Speaker 7: worried about the direction we're heading in. It's time to
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: make some good decisions that help both industry and consumers.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, is Simon Watt's doing a good enough job, as
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: you say, he's got this report on his desk. Is
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: into regulatory settings. It's not about dam's or dio thermalo
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: you think. And he's says the government will make an
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: announcement in due course. Is he sitting on his hands?
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: No, I don't think so. These are big, big decisions, right,
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: So we've tried to kind of convey the importance of
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: it in the letter. This is one of the key
• 8:17
  Speaker 7: inputs into our economy. If we can't fuel our industry
• 8:21
  Speaker 7: and we can't support the well being of our people
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: with affordable electricity, we're in real trouble as a nation.
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: So we don't necessarily want the minister to rush into
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: a knee jerk reaction. We need decisions to be well
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: thought through and measured. But I guess we would like
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: to see submergency in the decision making, and we anticipate
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: something coming in the coming months, so that is quick enough.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: So that is to ginger him up. Your letter very
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: accurately describes the problems. Of course, we're all about the
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: solutions here, So would you like to help the government
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: into coming up with a solution for the energy sector.
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: Look absolutely, and obviously, given the organization that I represent,
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: i'd encourage the government to be putting people at the
• 9:15
  Speaker 7: center of any decision making that it's doing, because at
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: the moment, consumers aren't really or electricity consumers, the people
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: of New Zealand, households aren't really that much of a factor.
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: And how our system operates. We think about sure security
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: is supply, that's important, keeping the lights on, but really
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: our focus is Unfortunately, the way the market built is
• 9:42
  Speaker 7: built is on making returns for shareholders. So, like many
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: industries across the economy, the way the market is geared,
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: businesses operate to produce shareholder return, which is really important because,
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: particularly in a capital intensive industry like electricity generation, you
• 10:01
  Speaker 7: need money coming in so that you can build things. Absolutely,
• 10:04
  Speaker 7: but when the return to shareholders is outweighing the service
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: that's been provided to customers and the return to shareholders
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: is being prioritized over even investing new generation, we know
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: we've got a problem.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Good stuff John Duffy. He is the chief executive of
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Consumer New Zealand. Other signatories include the Auclord and Business Chamber,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: headed by former National Party leader Simon Bridges, the major
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: electricity user groups and Employers and Manufacturers Association, and Let's
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: see some answers. But we've been talking about this for
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: a while. In fact, the text came through immediately that
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: said Christopher luxA must be sick of all these so
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: called open letters to him. First Helen Clark and Don
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Brash's stupid letter on how to handle China. Now this
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: lot oh derry me writes the texture. Well, if you
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: don't ask, nothing happens, I guess. Andrew Dlison on Sport
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: in a few moments time. It's a beautiful day in London.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Wimbledon is being played and it's very close between alcorav
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: and Sinner the Italian. So we'll talk about that. We'll
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: talking about the rugby. What would you call this au
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: n Z team. It is useful to b. This is
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: early edition and it's five nineteen.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Andrew dickens on early edition with ex bowl insulation, keeping
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Kiwi homes warm and try this winter news talk z B.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Andrew Ordison joins me to talk sport and behind him
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: is the Telly and there is Wimbledon and it's a
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: beautiful day and it's a close match. Yeah, this is
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: cracking stuff.
• 11:31
  Speaker 8: Is it to finish up and hopefully a better final
• 11:34
  Speaker 8: than the double bagel effort between innosim Over and in
• 11:37
  Speaker 8: Fiontic that we saw in the women's final, but this
• 11:40
  Speaker 8: one pretty tight. So six forward at alcare at the start,
• 11:43
  Speaker 8: six fod a sinner for the second set and it's
• 11:46
  Speaker 8: with serving the third Andrew.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Exactly right, stay on the microphone. I know you're turning around,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: but to look behind your back to look at it.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: I just love watching Wimbledon. At least we got it
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: up in the Endustry's right, that's right now Rugby the
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: all backs back to their beguarding best. Yeah, convincing display.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: Was that?
• 12:02
  Speaker 8: What forty three seventeen over France? Another? I guess well,
• 12:07
  Speaker 8: inexperienced French side and they'll put together what they would
• 12:10
  Speaker 8: consider their best outfit on tour for the third Test
• 12:12
  Speaker 8: in Hamilton.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Cracker.
• 12:15
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and you can never underestimate France still, especially after
• 12:18
  Speaker 8: what we saw in the first Test. I thought the
• 12:20
  Speaker 8: All black's a lot more convincing. We're starting with that.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: What would you call that ghost move? Yes, I thought
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: it was just avazing.
• 12:26
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you're right with Roy guard scoring a try, but
• 12:29
  Speaker 8: a brilliant piece of showmanship from Christian Leo Willie.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Did you catch South Africa? Did you catch South Africa,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: this is Italy. In the very first kicker, they kick
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: it off and they purposely go offside, so they get
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: a scrum because they knew their scrum was better than theirs,
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: and so they tried to push them over right from
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: the stat trick. A whole lot of tricky stuff in Rugbia.
• 12:48
  Speaker 8: Yeah, but it's quite good to see it, like seeing
• 12:50
  Speaker 8: a bit of innovation. And I just had a look
• 12:52
  Speaker 8: at few of those highlights from South Africa, Italy and
• 12:54
  Speaker 8: the South Africans or the spring box look mighty powerful
• 12:58
  Speaker 8: right across the park. Uh, I'm not quite sure what
• 13:02
  Speaker 8: was going on with that line?
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Did you see that?
• 13:04
  Speaker 8: Speaking minds gamely? The the line out that the string
• 13:07
  Speaker 8: box tried to they have metalfield. It was just that
• 13:10
  Speaker 8: was a bit out there, But I'll applaud the innovation
• 13:14
  Speaker 8: under the least.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: The Lions game against the au in Ze team, why
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: were they not calling them the ANZACs because you kept
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: on going a u in Zen and I mean, no,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not going with that name.
• 13:24
  Speaker 8: Is it is that sort of some political that you
• 13:27
  Speaker 8: want to associated with war or I don't know, I
• 13:29
  Speaker 8: don't know, but it's beyond that now, doesn't it.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I think it's a great idea. Yeah, absolutely,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: even though it was a one sided game.
• 13:36
  Speaker 8: And speaking of teams that look convincing Wall, he's going
• 13:39
  Speaker 8: to have their work cut out. I think it's gonna
• 13:41
  Speaker 8: set lines out by the boil accounts of what was
• 13:43
  Speaker 8: seen so far, they look pretty pretty polished under Eddie Ferrell.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Quick word about Sam Ruth, Who's who's the who's the
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: kid runner? Who's still informed?
• 13:50
  Speaker 8: What gaz word about Sam Ruth? This is a babe
• 13:54
  Speaker 8: Ruth or what do you got to call it? Amazing
• 13:56
  Speaker 8: just display you know, sixteen years old. Now he's got
• 13:58
  Speaker 8: another record, the Nest fifteen hundred meter marketing for under
• 14:01
  Speaker 8: seventeen under eighteen. He's got Sam Ten's under twenty record
• 14:04
  Speaker 8: already in a society's sixteen years old. I think he's
• 14:07
  Speaker 8: going to go to the World Champs as well, just
• 14:08
  Speaker 8: as a as observer if you're like in Tokyo in September.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Well, I like the way that Sam Tanner is actually
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: mentoring him, because he must have look at him and go,
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: here comes this kid to take all my stuff. But
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: that's okay because you know he's.
• 14:23
  Speaker 8: Been magnanimous hasn't he been the whole episode in how
• 14:26
  Speaker 8: it's all unfolding because he can see someone who really
• 14:29
  Speaker 8: has the pott to transform a little distinct running even
• 14:33
  Speaker 8: further than the next generation.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: So good on him.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Good stuff, Andrew Alderson. I thank you. Five to twenty
• 14:37

  Speaker 1: at Me news.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Talks here bs Hereah sent me an email saying, what's
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: this about a plane crash in England? There is a
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: plane crash in South End South End Airport. A beachcraft
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: crashed about four o'clock this morning, soon after taking off
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: and big duck smoke and it is a very s incident.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Will keep you up to date with details as they
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: come to hand. So I find it a bit ironic
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: that the government and the electorate are once again keen
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: on getting rid of some of the layers of our
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: council bureaucracy. The irony is this, first we've got New Zealand, first,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Shane Jones publicly questioning the role of regional councils, wondering
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: whether there's going to be a compelling case for regional
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: government to continue to exist. Then the Prime Minister Christopher
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Leuxan told Mike Hosking that the government was looking at
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: local government reform, and on Friday, Matthew Houghton wrote a
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: piece about regional councils, reiterating a question Chris Bishop has
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: been asking, is there any point in having regional councils.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: So it's on the table, And of course the battle
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: against bureaucracy is alive and well around the world. Duplication
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: of services and excessive layers of governance means that savings
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: could be made easily and safely, and it's something we've
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: already discussed. So look, last term the government reformed district
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: health boards from twenty boards into a single entity Health
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: New Zealand or and that was just because that's gone now,
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: or is going because the new government has taken against it.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: They want to return to locally delivered healthcare because they
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: believe in regional decision making being the best way to go,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: So they aren't like that amalgamation. Meanwhile, reform of regional
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: councils looks awfully like the formation of all consupercity, a
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: reform that has heaps of the enemies because of its
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: devolution of power away from communities and as Houton says,
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: the reason we hate the super city are the cco's
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: council controlled organizations, which was supposed to replicate the state
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: owned enterprises. But the problem there is we can't because
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: there are no shares in CCOs, so they become the
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: worst of things, a mongol hybrid of council bureaucracies and
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: private monopolies. Anyway, it looks like we want to amalgamate
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: public bodies, but in the past, as I've pointed out,
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: we don't like it. We moan that our voices are
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: no longer heard and that the bureaucracies have become too
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: huge and out of control. So let's just centralize it.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: So what is it people zibby when it's a town.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: Over the course of the weekend went to a birthday
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: party as well. Town was very good. I have to
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: say town gets bad press. I'll tell you what was
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: good about it. In just a few moments time, we're
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: going to talk to Gavin Gray. Apparently in the UK
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: they're saying can we please have our rainback? And before
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: six we're talking to Axe Tertiary Education spokesperson doctor Palm
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Jique Palmer, who's got a new plan to double the
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: amount of international students coming to this country. So what
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: is that plan and would it work? All that's still
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: to come on early edition here on news Talk.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Zeb the news you Need this morning and the in
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: depth analysis earlier this year with Andrew Dickens and x
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Full Insulation, keeping Kiwi Holmes warm and dry this winter
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: News Talk Send.
• 17:54
  Speaker 9: Me we can last.
• 18:09
  Speaker 10: That's a great song, Lomas, name of the artist, lomase
• 18:17
  Speaker 10: Oh Olivia Dean oh right, came up on my Spotify
• 18:21
  Speaker 10: over the weekend.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Fantastic song. But there we go right. Actually, I had
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: a big weekend driving around listening to Olivia Dean on
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: my stereo. I went to Simon Wilson's seventieth birthday party,
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: the Herald journalist and former editor of Metro. You have
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: never been in a room so full of old fashioned
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: lefties and journalists, Hanks. This room was full of people
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: trying to save the world's problems and reminiscing about great
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: interviews that they'd done in the past. It was all
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: good fun. Happy birthday, Simon. I also went to the
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Masters of Modern Art exhibition on loan from the Toledo
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Art Gallery. It's full of Picasso's and renoirs and Metisa's.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: It's fantastic. It is so popular you have to book
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: in a session. It's well worth it. And I went
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: on a Saturday, so I wandered through the Aukland CBD,
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: you know, the hellhole of New Zealand, had a lunch
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: in a funky bower noodle shop. It was braised beef.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: It was delicious, and I have to say town was
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: actually full of people, all doing a wander around this
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: new pedestrian city. And despite what you hear, Aucklands CBD
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: is actually getting better and better. Five midtown buildings have
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: just been bought by a developer and they plan to
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: spruce them up. That and the new railway station by
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: the Civic is the final piece of the puzzle to
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: fix up Queen Street because midtown is sill, a bit
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: of a wreck. And then I watched them right Ben.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: I watched the all Backs get back to form and
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: this new temporary team of Ossie's and Kiwi's called au
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: n Z. I wish they could have a better name.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: They got Hammond forty eight bill and that's not surprising.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: They're only together for a week and the lions are
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: starting to harm. But I reckon the team was a
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: great idea and maybe maybe this au n Z team
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: should be touring the Northern Hemisphere every four years like
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: the Lions to the Southern Hemisphere. It'd be as big
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: as a Lions tour. I'd like to go on it,
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: travel all around Blightey watching the au n Z. It
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: could in fact be better than the the than the Lions. Meanwhile,
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: I've got a text from Dennis about the aun Z.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: He says they should have warm up games against Maldi
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: and PACIFICA and Australian Indigenous teams or Super Rugby sides
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: during the next Lions tour to New Zealand and twenty
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: twenty nine so that they get better prepared. It's a
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: good concept. Well resurrected God thrash because of not enough preparation.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: And then on the name, because I said, why can't
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: we call them ANZACs? They are not soldiers and apparently
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: you can't call them ANZACs according to Dennis unless the
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Return Services Association or the RSL in Australia says it's okay.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: So you can't just give away the name ANZAC just
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: like that. So we have to stick with a u
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: n Z, which is just a dull name. I'm sure
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: you've got a better idea Text it to me. Ninety
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: two ninety two, twenty one to six news talk zid
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: be around the country. We go Callum Proctor in Otago Halla,
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Callum morning. So we had the sad tale of a
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: young young lad who died hunting on Stuart Island. At
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: his funeral today.
• 21:03
  Speaker 11: Yeah, this is Job Davies Andrew who is from Tapanui.
• 21:06
  Speaker 11: He died after being shot while hunting two weekends ago
• 21:10
  Speaker 11: in Stuart Island. His body was found by a search
• 21:12
  Speaker 11: and rescue team responding to a personal locator beacon and
• 21:16
  Speaker 11: that incident has been referred to the coroner. Look, Jock
• 21:19
  Speaker 11: Davis is being remembered as a loved son and little
• 21:21
  Speaker 11: brother and a mate to many. And he went along
• 21:23
  Speaker 11: and well publicized battle with leukemia as a youngster. And
• 21:27
  Speaker 11: during that health battle he and his family became very
• 21:29
  Speaker 11: much involved with the Child Cancer Foundation, where his death
• 21:32
  Speaker 11: has been deeply felt. His funeral is this afternoon in Tapanui.
• 21:37
  Speaker 11: Jock Davies was just twenty.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: One and I thank you. How's the weather for that?
• 21:41
  Speaker 9: Look?
• 21:42
  Speaker 7: Chance for a.
• 21:42
  Speaker 11: Shower about in the south today, clearing to find this
• 21:44
  Speaker 11: afternoon and Eden's high thirteen.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: I thank you very much to Christy as we go, Emily,
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: and so good morning to you morning. So there's a
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: new exhibition about cemeteries.
• 21:53
  Speaker 12: There is Grave Insights, Plotting Lives and christ Church Cemeteries,
• 21:57
  Speaker 12: opens at Tudonga Library today. Acting Libraries and Information Rosie
• 22:01
  Speaker 12: Levi says it will appeal to if anyone who was
• 22:04
  Speaker 12: meandered through the city's heritage cemeteries and wondered about the
• 22:08
  Speaker 12: people buried there. A grandmother, a grandson buried side by side,
• 22:12
  Speaker 12: a soldier buried at sea, and one of the first
• 22:14
  Speaker 12: bell ringers of Christ Church Cathedral are among the stories
• 22:18
  Speaker 12: that have been uncovered. It runs until September fourteenth.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: I love it. How's the weather.
• 22:23
  Speaker 12: Party, Cloudy with a chance of shower before dawn, clearing
• 22:26
  Speaker 12: to find by the afternoon, strong northeasterly is easing with
• 22:29
  Speaker 12: a high of sixteen degrees.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, positively tropical and I think you Max told joins
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: me from Wellington, compording to your Max, good morning. You
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: guys are a bit grumpy about missing out on Lord.
• 22:39
  Speaker 13: Yeah, that's exactly right. Becoming a bit of a theme
• 22:42
  Speaker 13: in the Capitol. In fact, we had Lewis Capaldi skip
• 22:44
  Speaker 13: Wellington as well to play Auckland and christ Church Lord,
• 22:48
  Speaker 13: as you say, now announced she's doing the same. Might
• 22:50
  Speaker 13: be a few reasons for it, perhaps the sky Stadium
• 22:53
  Speaker 13: not being as an attractive venue too big. What's most
• 22:56
  Speaker 13: likely though, is we just don't have that ideal mid
• 22:58
  Speaker 13: size venue like Spa or Wolfbrook in that ten to
• 23:02
  Speaker 13: fifteen thousand capacity range, and so fans have been bemoaning
• 23:07
  Speaker 13: Lord's absence on social media, promoters complaining again of that
• 23:12
  Speaker 13: lack of an appropriate venue. TSB holds five to six thousand.
• 23:15
  Speaker 13: For instance, a homegrown festival gone as well, christ Church
• 23:19
  Speaker 13: opening a new stadium as well may hurt us a
• 23:21
  Speaker 13: little bit in the long run. That's of course going
• 23:24
  Speaker 13: to be a world class venue. That may leave us
• 23:26
  Speaker 13: competing a bit more with Dunedin for say All Blacks
• 23:28
  Speaker 13: Tests for instance. Thank god we sold out Saturday and
• 23:32
  Speaker 13: it was a great atmosphere in Wellington over the weekend.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you needed ten thousand in do all,
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: but good luck getting the money for that. How's your river?
• 23:41
  Speaker 13: It wild drizzley today, occasional showers fourteen the high Central.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: And Neiva Ritchenman who now joins US from Walk Andhell
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: and Neva. Good morning, and water Care is upgrading the
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: wastewater network.
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: That's right, it's one point four kilometers of Newmarket's wastewater network.
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: Now this is part of a twelve million dollar annual
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: renewals program. Now the cruise, I've been investigating the new
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: Market section since April. The work is expected to be
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: finished by the end of August. The good news it
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: can all be done while the pipes remain in service.
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: And so once this work is finished, there should be
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: fewer overflows into the environment and it's going to improve
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: network resilience.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: And I thank your house Awkin's weather.
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: Well, this fog this morning is going to clear then
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: scattered showers. Today's high in Auckland sixteen.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Yes, this is now seventeen to six. Andrew, New Zealand
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: and Australia should be one country anyway. That's Steve's thought
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: on the rugby team. Come on, that would be unfair
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: in the rugby world. Blair says, please stop banging on
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: about ANZAC because the AC stands for the Army Corps. Absolutely,
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: I understand that and as he says, that has nothing
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: to do with the money making professional rugby team. Thank
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: you Blair. That's a very good point. So my point
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: was what's a better name than AU and Z? So
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: come on, you guys and bright turn on your brains.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: It's Monday morning. I've got one text that says oz
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Kiwi would be a better name? Would the Australasians be
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: a better name? What's your call? Au n Z ain't
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: good enough? It is sixteen to six. We're off to
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: the UK with Gavin Gray in a few moments time.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: They want some rain please? Can you believe it? This
• 25:13

• 26:29
  Speaker 2: So at Wimbledon, Sinner has taken out the third set
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: and he now leads to one over Alcoreth and Gavin
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Gray joints us from the UK. You're not at Wimbledon today? Ah?
• 26:38
  Speaker 9: No, I couldn't talk to you if I were, could.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: I No, you couldn't. That's sweet. So there's a group
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: called Palestine Action that's been designated a prescribed terrorist group
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: and they've been protesting about that.
• 26:49
  Speaker 9: Yeah, they will start I think to worry about this
• 26:52
  Speaker 9: in the corridors of Power and the Downing Street because
• 26:56
  Speaker 9: this weekend more than seventy people have been arrested support
• 27:00
  Speaker 9: at the Palestine Action, which the government only recently said,
• 27:04
  Speaker 9: actually we're going to describe this now as a terrorist group,
• 27:07
  Speaker 9: which means it comes under anti terrorism legislation and it
• 27:10
  Speaker 9: is an offense to support it or indeed publicize support
• 27:14
  Speaker 9: for it. As a result, now this weekend we've seen
• 27:18
  Speaker 9: arrests in London, but also in Manchester and also in Cardiff.
• 27:23
  Speaker 9: In total seventy people now looking at the pictures and
• 27:26
  Speaker 9: those who were attending and those who were simply holding
• 27:29
  Speaker 9: up a placard saying I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action,
• 27:34
  Speaker 9: that's all it says. They were mostly sort of elderly,
• 27:39
  Speaker 9: very peaceful, just holding a placard, not even chanting or
• 27:42
  Speaker 9: saying very much, and yet they're being arrested. Add the
• 27:45
  Speaker 9: seventy arrested today onto the forty two arrested last week,
• 27:50
  Speaker 9: and this could become a real worry for the government
• 27:52
  Speaker 9: as this demonstration picks up place. This all incidentally happened
• 27:57
  Speaker 9: when Palestine Action damaged two Royal Air Force aircraft in
• 28:03
  Speaker 9: our base, Arif base they broke into, causing roughly fifteen
• 28:07
  Speaker 9: million New Zealand dollars worth of damage. But exactly how
• 28:10
  Speaker 9: many more people do they want to arrest for holding
• 28:12
  Speaker 9: up a black up.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Meanwhile Brits are saying can we have our rainbeck please?
• 28:17
  Speaker 9: Yeah. I've been another warm day today, So there was
• 28:21
  Speaker 9: a forecast of thirty four yesterday. I think we got
• 28:24
  Speaker 9: to about thirty two today. We're down to thirty one.
• 28:27
  Speaker 9: Tomorrow will be cooler still, but that over thirty Celsius
• 28:31
  Speaker 9: has meant that we are in a heat wave. And Andrew,
• 28:34
  Speaker 9: this is our third one of the year and it
• 28:36
  Speaker 9: is that fact which is more amazing, because of course
• 28:39
  Speaker 9: we are only still coming up to mid July. We've
• 28:42
  Speaker 9: got at least the rest of July, August to possibly
• 28:45
  Speaker 9: the start of September when there could be potentially more
• 28:47
  Speaker 9: heat waves. But of more concern, it is now said
• 28:51
  Speaker 9: that seven million people are under a host pipe ban
• 28:54
  Speaker 9: and potential water restrictions in Yorkshire in the northeast, Kent
• 28:58
  Speaker 9: in the southeast, and Sussex on the south coast. So
• 29:01
  Speaker 9: activities like watering gardens, washing cars, filling up paddling pools,
• 29:05
  Speaker 9: those are all banned you could face a fine. And
• 29:08
  Speaker 9: also Southeast Water saying drinking water demand has reached record
• 29:12
  Speaker 9: levels since May. They are desperate for rain, some suggesting
• 29:16
  Speaker 9: we could see these drought impositions, these host pipe bands
• 29:19
  Speaker 9: and so forth in place right through until the winter.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: Kevin Gray from the UK, I thank you for your time,
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: and meanwhile, Sinner seems to be taking control by bit.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: Remember Alcoreth has won five Grand Slam finals that he's
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: been in a row, so this might be the turning tide.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: It is now five point fifty zid. Well, we've got
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: a new plan from the government to double the amount
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: of international students contributing to our economy to seven point
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: two billion dollars by twenty thirty four. So this plan
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: includes extending in study work rights to students from November
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: and could enroll an extra twenty one three hundred students
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: by twenty twenty seven. Dr Panji Pama is ex Education
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: spokesperson and joins me this morning, come on into your
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: palms eat, Good morning Andrew. So how does the plan work?
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: So what I would say is that the changes are good,
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: but universities need to do their part as well. So
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: marketing campaigns. These are two as are great, but universities
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: must focus on improving their international rankings because international rankings
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: are a key factor when students are deciding which university
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: to go to. So universities must ensure that their packages
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: are appealing and are internationally relevant. So that means no
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: compulsory treaty courses, no creep of ticanga into science, because
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: universities need to be careful that they are not becoming
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: inward looking. These things might be of interest to some
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: students in New Zealand, but when international students are coming here,
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: they are basically wanting to prepare themselves for a global career.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: And tell me about this in study work? Right, do
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: we not offer them the ability to work while they're studying,
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: to make money to get by?
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: So that is, but most of the money does come
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: from overseas. Any money that is coming from overseas is
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: great for us. So international students are unit positive, all right.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: So would international students come here with this plan? Because
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: I have to say, your party is quite often telling
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: the world that New Zealand's not a great place right
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: now in it's in poor shape. Why would they want
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: to come here?
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: I don't agree with that description there. Our education system
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: works really well, but as I have highlighted that universities
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: need to do their part as well. So we want
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: to ensure that universities are working hard to ensure that
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: their international rankings are improving and the packages that they're
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: offering are internationally relevant.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Very good stuff, doctor Palmzi Palma, who is ex Education spokesperson,
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: I thank you for your time. It is seven minutes
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: to six.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: It's the new Stalk b the first word on the
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: News of the Day early edition with Andrew Dickins and
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: expole insulation keeping Kighi Holmes warm and dry this winter
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: US talk said.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: Be all right. So I watched this au n Z
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: team against the Lions over the weekend and I thought,
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: what a great idea, and we should actually get together
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: an au n Z team every four years and they
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: should tour the Northern Hemisphere and be just like the Lions,
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: but in reverse, and that would be great. But I
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: also thought the name au n Z sucked big time,
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: and I said, why don't they call them the ANZACs,
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: But of course that says Army Corps and then you'd
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: have to get the approval of the RSA and the
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: RSL to use it, and they're not soldiers. And I
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: said to you guys, what's the names that we should
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: call them, Drew reckons, they should be called the Antipodeans.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: A lot of people saying Zilandier because it's the joining continent.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: Somebody says, Ozzie tier Row, difficult to say. Gold Blacks
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: is a good idea, But I think the best one
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: I've got at the moment would be calling them the diggers.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: But they're not soldiers.
• 32:50
  Speaker 14: But hang on a tech, why can't they be called
• 32:51
  Speaker 14: the ANZACs.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: Because that stands for Australia and New Zealand Army Corps
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: And these are rugby players.
• 32:57
  Speaker 14: You can't tell me seriously, they have to go to
• 32:59
  Speaker 14: the RSA.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because ANZAC is a holy unsacred name. Oh
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: that is oh well, yeah, I know, an is easy
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: suck sometimes.
• 33:10
  Speaker 14: You know what that is about, though, Andrew, That is
• 33:12
  Speaker 14: about us not wanting to offend someone, right, we're terrified.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: With the soldiers, a soldier who gave his life for
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: our countries.
• 33:17
  Speaker 14: Stop worrying about it. It's the obvious name. Just call
• 33:21
  Speaker 14: them the ANZACs.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: What about the Southern Stars? Oh no, because that is
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: lime somebody says, did you call them the lu Zayes
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: the lu z a yes, is what like losers? Ha ha? Yeah, okay,
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: what you do.
• 33:35
  Speaker 14: But we're going to actually speaking of ANZACs. We are
• 33:38
  Speaker 14: participating New Zealand over in Australia right now in this
• 33:40
  Speaker 14: joint military exercise with the US and a bunch of
• 33:43
  Speaker 14: other countries.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: About nineteen of US nineteen soldiers.
• 33:46
  Speaker 14: No, sure, No, we're sending seven hundred. Did you even
• 33:49
  Speaker 14: know we had seven hundred soldiers?
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, we do, but we don't pay them. Seven hundred soldiers,
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: one vessel and one drone. We're sending them over. We're
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: going to talk about that. That drone is going to
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: be really scary. Buy Sorry, we shouldn't be like this.
