Speaker 1: The issues, the interviews and the inside. Andrew Dickens on
0:06
Speaker 1: early edition with one roof make your property search simple
0:11
Speaker 1: used talks. It'd be.
0:14
Speaker 2: As goodboding to you and welcome to the program. You've
0:15
Speaker 2: made it to Thursday, and thank you so much for
0:17
Speaker 2: choosing us. Coming up in the next sixty minutes, the
0:20
Speaker 2: Royal New Zealand College of GPS reckons the primary healthcare
0:24
Speaker 2: is being financially neglected. We'll find out if it is
0:28
Speaker 2: or is this just another play for more budget. We'll
0:30
Speaker 2: talk about this in about five minutes time. West Pact
0:33
Speaker 2: reckons the regulations around banks and how much capital they
0:36
Speaker 2: carry are excessive and unnecessary. That story in ten and
0:39
Speaker 2: will it reduce your mortgage if it happens? And Liam
0:42
Speaker 2: Lawson in the eye of the global storm, what's the
0:45
Speaker 2: latest and can he survive it. Bob McMurray joins us
0:48
Speaker 2: just before six. We'll have correspondence from right around the world,
0:51
Speaker 2: including Mitch McCann from the States on the group chat Saga.
0:53
Speaker 2: We'll have correspondence from right around New Zealand and use
0:56
Speaker 2: as it breaks, and you can have your say too
0:58
Speaker 2: by giving us a text. Charge applies and the number
1:01
Speaker 2: is ninety two to ninety two. It's seven minutes after five.
1:06
Speaker 1: The agenda.
1:08
Speaker 2: It's Thursday, the twenty seventh of March. First to this
1:12
Speaker 2: whole group chat thing that's happening in the United States.
1:15
Speaker 2: The Atlantic magazine has now published the full exchange of
1:18
Speaker 2: messages between senior White House officials as the US conducted
1:22
Speaker 2: strikes in Yemen this month. The newly revealed messages show
1:26
Speaker 2: Defense Secretary Pete Higsyth sharing information about the raids, including
1:29
Speaker 2: exact timings of drone and missile attacks on the Hooties
1:33
Speaker 2: and updates on the target's hit. The Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg,
1:38
Speaker 2: who was added to the chat, initially didn't publish all
1:40
Speaker 2: of the messages to avoid revealing classified information, but because
1:45
Speaker 2: of the White House claims that he's lying, he decided
1:48
Speaker 2: to disclose the whole thing. National Security applies to Mike Watts,
1:51
Speaker 2: though is doubling down. He reckons that he adds that
1:56
Speaker 2: Goldberg claims there were no war plan. Shit.
2:01
Speaker 3: It's embarrassing. Yes, we're going to get to the bottom
2:03
Speaker 3: of it. We have. I just talked to Elon on
2:06
Speaker 3: the way here. We've got the best technical minds looking
2:09
Speaker 3: at how this happened. But I can tell you. I
2:11
Speaker 3: can tell you for one hundred percent. I don't know
2:14
Speaker 3: this guy. I know him by his horrible reputation, and
2:18
Speaker 3: he really is the bottom scum of journalists. And I
2:21
Speaker 3: know him in the sense that he hates the president.
2:24
Speaker 3: But I don't touch him. He went on my phone,
2:27
Speaker 3: So there we go.
2:28
Speaker 2: That's Mike quotes. Now. An update on the Russian Ukraine
2:31
Speaker 2: ceasefire deal. Russia says some Western sanctions must be lifted
2:37
Speaker 2: before it begins. The maritime sees fly within hours of
2:40
Speaker 2: the US announcing the two sides had agreed to holt
2:42
Speaker 2: strikes in the Black Sea and separate deals. The Kremlin
2:45
Speaker 2: said it would only take place once sanctions on a
2:48
Speaker 2: number of Russian banks were lifted.
2:51
Speaker 4: We will need clear guarantees, given the sad experience of
2:55
Speaker 4: agreements with Kiev. Guarantees can only be the result of
2:59
Speaker 4: an order from Washing to President Zelens Speaker and his
3:02
Speaker 4: team to do exactly this. It seems to me that
3:06
Speaker 4: our American partners have taken this signal.
3:10
Speaker 2: And now to South Korea, where at least twenty four
3:12
Speaker 2: people have been killed as multiple wildfires continue to ravage
3:16
Speaker 2: South Korea's Southeast Region authorities say twenty six people are injured,
3:20
Speaker 2: twelve are in critical condition. Most of the victims are
3:22
Speaker 2: in their sixties and seventies. That more than twenty three
3:25
Speaker 2: thousand people have been forced to flee their homes, and
3:28
Speaker 2: Acting President Han Dakthu says the unprecedented crisis is rewriting
3:33
Speaker 2: the record books for the worst wildfires in South Korea's history.
3:38
Speaker 5: A total of one hundred and twenty eight helicopters, eleven
3:41
Speaker 5: hundred military personnel, three thousand firefighters, eleven hundred fire fighting crews,
3:46
Speaker 5: and four and a half thousand public officials have been
3:48
Speaker 5: mobilized for fire fighting efforts. Helicopters from the US military
3:52
Speaker 5: stations in South Korea have been deployed to provide support.
3:55
Speaker 5: Every possible resource is being utilized to contain the wildfires.
4:00
Speaker 2: And finally, Prince Harry says he's in shock after quitting
4:04
Speaker 2: as a patron of Santa Ballei Now Center Bali is
4:07
Speaker 2: the British charity that he helped set up to help
4:10
Speaker 2: young people with HIV and AIDS and Lesoto and Botswana.
4:14
Speaker 2: He set up the charity in the name of his mum,
4:17
Speaker 2: Princess Diana, but he's gone and resigned from the charity.
4:20
Speaker 2: There was a conflict between trustees and the chair of
4:22
Speaker 2: the board. It's eleven up to five.
4:25
Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens on a early edition with one roof Make
4:29
Speaker 1: your Property Search Simple, youth dog Zivvy.
4:32
Speaker 2: Liam Lawson, Oh my god, has any New Zealand sporting
4:37
Speaker 2: star had a more tumultuous fortnight on the world stage.
4:41
Speaker 2: He got the drive, He became New Zealand's hero. He
4:44
Speaker 2: charmed the world, He got a GQ cover story. He raced,
4:47
Speaker 2: he crashed, he failed, He raced again, he failed again.
4:52
Speaker 2: Social media was brutal. All of Mexico hated him, All
4:55
Speaker 2: of Japan hated him. Australia not keen on him because
4:58
Speaker 2: he caused Ricciardo to be dropped. Old people hated him
5:01
Speaker 2: because of his blonde chippedness. Others hated him just because
5:04
Speaker 2: they've loved Ferrari or McLaren or Williams and now Red
5:08
Speaker 2: Bull have allegedly dropped him after just two races for
5:12
Speaker 2: failing to perform in a car that is a dog
5:15
Speaker 2: made for Max, but bad, unreliable and hard to drive.
5:19
Speaker 2: Even Max hates the car and his is way better.
5:23
Speaker 2: But now we wait to see whether Liam Lawson has
5:25
Speaker 2: been dropped completely. Will he race in Japan, we don't
5:28
Speaker 2: know that yet, or will he get the chance to
5:30
Speaker 2: show the world he's pretty good by racing in a
5:32
Speaker 2: car that's not too bad on of course he knows well.
5:35
Speaker 2: So now the pressure ramps up again and the whole
5:37
Speaker 2: world's talking about it, the pressures on Red Bull, on Liam,
5:41
Speaker 2: on Yuki Gee. I hope they're making a killer Drive
5:44
Speaker 2: to Survive episode out of this, because this is epic,
5:47
Speaker 2: this is a movie. It would be nice if they
5:49
Speaker 2: paid Liam appropriately for surviving and having to endure all
5:53
Speaker 2: this crap. And will he survive? That's a big question.
5:57
Speaker 2: Is Liam strong enough to survive this global attention and
6:01
Speaker 2: a team that seems to have lost its way so far?
6:04
Speaker 2: I think he seems quite well balanced, and I hope
6:07
Speaker 2: he sees that this is not the end of the
6:08
Speaker 2: road for hidden and driving cars very fastest to the thing.
6:11
Speaker 2: He does very well. But we're going to talk about
6:13
Speaker 2: this later with respected motorsport journalist Bob McMurray. Will join
6:17
Speaker 2: me just before six. It's thirteen after five.
6:19
Speaker 1: Andrew dickens it's the.
6:21
Speaker 2: Great Tauranga Coffee Crisis. That we were all talking about
6:24
Speaker 2: yesterday afternoon. The Teonga Council under Mahi Drysdale, has approved
6:29
Speaker 2: purchasing half a million dollars worth of coffee for staff,
6:34
Speaker 2: angering ratepayers who see it as a waste of money.
6:36
Speaker 2: And it is a lot of money, and it is
6:39
Speaker 2: a waste, or is it? I wonder if anyone really
6:42
Speaker 2: has done a quantitative study amongst all our employers and
6:46
Speaker 2: all our businesses on the cost of employees waltzing up
6:50
Speaker 2: the door for a coffee and spending time exchanging stories
6:53
Speaker 2: about the weekend instead of working. Now, by my back
6:57
Speaker 2: of the envelope, reckon, I reckon, the council has probably
7:02
Speaker 2: approved two hundred grand more than they should. This is
7:06
Speaker 2: the role's voice of coffee budgets. But the point is
7:09
Speaker 2: why I have so many of our workers ritualize a
7:11
Speaker 2: coffee experience to the detriment of productivity. What is wrong
7:16
Speaker 2: with a trip to the sink and a quick instant.
7:18
Speaker 2: I have an inciant right here, cost nothing, taste terrible.
7:23
Speaker 2: I love it, and I don't want to sound like
7:25
Speaker 2: a grinch, but we are in a tight spot with
7:27
Speaker 2: public funding, and every little saved is the ability to
7:30
Speaker 2: have more productive staff for more services. Isn't coffee is
7:33
Speaker 2: in coffee? Don't you think your own personal responsibility? So
7:37
Speaker 2: that any free coffee, even if it's instant, is a
7:41
Speaker 2: good coffee, particularly when it's brought by your employer. So
7:44
Speaker 2: I would say to all and sundry, don't be grateful
7:48
Speaker 2: and do not be wasteful and by the way, get
7:51
Speaker 2: back to work. Dickens, is this government neglecting your GP
7:56
Speaker 2: in terms of funding. This is a claim that's been
7:58
Speaker 2: made by the World New Zealand College of Gym Practitioners.
8:01
Speaker 2: So we'll talk to them in just a few moments time.
8:03
Speaker 2: It's news talk z It Big.
8:05
Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day early
8:08
Speaker 1: edition with Andrew Dickens and One Room. Make your property
8:11
Speaker 1: search symbol You talk.
8:14
Speaker 2: Sipy seventeen after five, Good morning to Taylor. Taylor sent
8:17
Speaker 2: me a text Andrew. I agree. He sees counselors earn
8:20
Speaker 2: a buttload more than most they can afford their own
8:23
Speaker 2: dam coffee. Not just the counselors though, remember Taylor, it's
8:26
Speaker 2: also all the staff who might not be quite earning
8:28
Speaker 2: the buttload. But yeah, isn't coffee your own personal responsibility?
8:32
Speaker 4: All right?
8:33
Speaker 2: New research from the Royal New Zealand College of GPS
8:36
Speaker 2: has come to the conclusion that primary healthcare is being
8:40
Speaker 2: financially neglected. Only five point four percent of this country's
8:43
Speaker 2: health budget goes to primary care and that stayed exactly
8:47
Speaker 2: the same since two thousand and nine. So I'm joined
8:50
Speaker 2: now by the President of the Royal College, Semant. The
8:52
Speaker 2: Merton doctor set meant that Merton, good morning to you.
8:55
Speaker 6: Sam, good morning here are you good?
8:58
Speaker 2: It's the same percentage, but of a bigger pie. So
9:00
Speaker 2: can you really say that primary care is being neglected?
9:05
Speaker 6: Although it might be of a bigger pie. The problem
9:08
Speaker 6: we have is that the complexity and volume of work
9:11
Speaker 6: that has gone on in primary care has expanded enormously
9:14
Speaker 6: over that time. So proportionally it may look like it's
9:19
Speaker 6: a stage static, but also functionally it's stage static as well,
9:22
Speaker 6: because there's way more work that we're doing.
9:25
Speaker 2: Okay, so you say it's underfunded. What are the consequences
9:28
Speaker 2: we're seeing from that underfunding?
9:31
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I think it's people know we are struggling
9:34
Speaker 6: to have GPS coming into the service. We're struggling to
9:37
Speaker 6: keep our books open because we don't have enough staff.
9:40
Speaker 6: We're struggling to retain our nursing team because there's better
9:45
Speaker 6: options overseas or in hospitals, and so we'd like to
9:49
Speaker 6: have an expanded service and do as much here in
9:51
Speaker 6: the community as you can, but it's hard when you're
9:54
Speaker 6: trying to I suppose reconfigure some that and you stretch
10:00
Speaker 6: at as as you can, but it doesn't go any
10:02
Speaker 6: further than what we can currently do.
10:04
Speaker 2: Are there other areas of the health sector that are
10:06
Speaker 2: benefiting from the underfunding of primary healthcare so they're getting
10:10
Speaker 2: a bigger size.
10:12
Speaker 6: Well, the thing is it's about where do you invest
10:16
Speaker 6: so that you make the whole system run more smoothly,
10:18
Speaker 6: And so as soon as you reduce what goes into
10:21
Speaker 6: primary care, then it costs more having people dealt with
10:25
Speaker 6: in hospitals. And if you're not seen earlier in their
10:28
Speaker 6: own their own gp and looked after and hit everything
10:32
Speaker 6: that they need doing, then they may get sicker, faster
10:35
Speaker 6: and end up in a hospital setting, which costs a
10:37
Speaker 6: whole lot more. So it becomes a vicious cycle of
10:40
Speaker 6: people going to hospitals costing lots of money. Then you
10:42
Speaker 6: can afford to invest in primary care where the most
10:45
Speaker 6: efficient invest care can be done to prevent people getting
10:49
Speaker 6: into hospitals.
10:50
Speaker 2: So what do you want? Do you want more money
10:52
Speaker 2: or do you want a more equitable redistribution of what
10:54
Speaker 2: there is?
10:56
Speaker 6: I think when you look globally at other countries, the
10:59
Speaker 6: distribution it goes into primary care is around the ten
11:03
Speaker 6: to fourteen percent, not five. So every country has increased
11:07
Speaker 6: its budget over time, and that we would like to
11:10
Speaker 6: see that the genuine investment in primary care is, you know,
11:15
Speaker 6: like not rather than five percent of the total, it's
11:17
Speaker 6: actually probably around ten percent of the total at least.
11:20
Speaker 2: Doctor Samantha Murton, I thank you so much for your
11:22
Speaker 2: time today. It is now five twenty and this is NEWSTALKSB.
11:25
Speaker 2: So Westpac reckons that they have to hold too much money,
11:27
Speaker 2: and because they have to hold too much money on
11:29
Speaker 2: the behest of the reserve bank, that means they have
11:32
Speaker 2: to pass that on to customers. That means when you
11:34
Speaker 2: borrow money from the bank, you have to pay too much.
11:36
Speaker 2: And they reckon it would be better if the capital
11:40
Speaker 2: requirements were reduced. So are they right? Are they wrong?
11:42
Speaker 2: We'll talk to someone, Bill Accoub in a few moments time.
11:45
Speaker 2: Here on NEWSTALKSB, where it's now five to twenty.
11:48
Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition Andrew Dickens
11:52
Speaker 1: and one Room Make your Property Search Simple news talg.
11:56
Speaker 2: Z B five twenty two. Already I'm Andrew dickins Z
12:00
Speaker 2: for Ryan Bridge. So Westpac calling for the Reserve Bank
12:04
Speaker 2: to relax capital requirements. Now, the move would make it
12:06
Speaker 2: easier for banks to give out loans. That's what Westpac thinks,
12:09
Speaker 2: and we'll put New Zealand on par with countries like
12:11
Speaker 2: the UK and Australia. And Chamom bier Lekub is the
12:14
Speaker 2: chief economist at Simplicity and joins me. Now, Hello Chamaville,
12:18
Speaker 2: good morning. So the bank reckons that reducing the capital
12:21
Speaker 2: of the bank must hold will reduce the costs of
12:24
Speaker 2: a four million dollar farm loan by twenty grand? Are
12:27
Speaker 2: they right?
12:29
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a bit of right margin. So every time
12:31
Speaker 7: the capital recommend grows up, banks to have to borrow
12:34
Speaker 7: money more expensively, and so it kind of increases mortgage
12:38
Speaker 7: rates by a butt zero point one percent to point
12:41
Speaker 7: one five percent. It's not a huge amount, but it matters.
12:44
Speaker 2: Yes, nobody sneezes at twenty grand. So if if west
12:50
Speaker 2: Pac got its way and there was a reduction of capital.
12:52
Speaker 2: Would that make banks more vulnerable at these uncertain times?
12:56
Speaker 2: Because that's why it was put in in the first place.
12:58
Speaker 7: Absolutely. I think that's really the big trade of here
13:01
Speaker 7: is do we think our banks are unsafe? I think
13:04
Speaker 7: the other way of looking at it is our bank's
13:07
Speaker 7: not making enough money during the good and bad times.
13:10
Speaker 7: I think the answer is they're making great money in
13:13
Speaker 7: great times and in bad times. We just had a
13:15
Speaker 7: terrible recession and they're still made billions of dollars in profits.
13:19
Speaker 2: So would it help the economy recover faster?
13:23
Speaker 7: I don't think so. I don't think the bank capital
13:25
Speaker 7: is the reason why our banks are not lending enough money.
13:28
Speaker 7: There are two things going on. One that our mortgage
13:30
Speaker 7: rates are far too expensive. So on average, banks are
13:33
Speaker 7: charging over two percent over their cost of borrowing, so
13:36
Speaker 7: their mortgage rates are really high. So, for example, the
13:39
Speaker 7: cheapest mortgage rate we can get right now, it's five
13:40
Speaker 7: percent for two years. That's pretty high. You know, our
13:43
Speaker 7: kind of floating rate at the moment is four point
13:45
Speaker 7: ninety five percent, And so we are charging a lot
13:48
Speaker 7: less at simplicity for our floating mortgages. But our banks
13:50
Speaker 7: are still charging pretty big margins that's the first big issue,
13:54
Speaker 7: and the second is our banks are simply not lending
13:57
Speaker 7: much money to businesses and farms that long term prosperity
14:01
Speaker 7: New Zealand. And that's part to our regulations which helped
14:05
Speaker 7: batt lend more money to mortgages rather than to businesses
14:08
Speaker 7: and France.
14:09
Speaker 2: So Mabel, I thank you for your time today, Samabelele Coop.
14:12
Speaker 2: I'm Andrew Dickens. The other big thing other than the
14:14
Speaker 2: tyrung of coffee and boy you're texting about that that
14:17
Speaker 2: we talked about yesterday was Tamotha Paul. Tamotha Tamotha with
14:21
Speaker 2: an m Tamotha Paul. I'm going to talk about Tamotha
14:24
Speaker 2: Paul in a few moments time. It is now five
14:25
Speaker 2: to twenty five the.
14:26
Speaker 1: Early edition full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio how It
14:30
Speaker 1: by News Talks It Be.
14:33
Speaker 2: New Talks it B five twenty seven. Tamotha Paul a
14:38
Speaker 2: woman yesterday mocked for her views on police. Chris Hopkins
14:42
Speaker 2: said her views on beat police were unwise and then
14:45
Speaker 2: he went further and said they were stupid. The Prime
14:47
Speaker 2: Minister said she's in La La Land. Yesterday when I
14:50
Speaker 2: was talking about the the views, I commented that life
14:54
Speaker 2: must be really sweet on her planet. Pity it's not ours.
14:58
Speaker 2: But that didn't stop her doubling down yesterday on her
15:00
Speaker 2: views because they are not untrue in her world. She
15:06
Speaker 2: pointed out the brown people have quite a different perception
15:08
Speaker 2: of police than others. Look up profiling and its meaning.
15:11
Speaker 2: It happens here, we know this. She pointed out the
15:14
Speaker 2: terrible failure of the police in the case of the
15:16
Speaker 2: eleven year old confused with a twenty year old that
15:18
Speaker 2: we all got shocked at. This week, she highlighted the
15:21
Speaker 2: hassle of the homeless by the police and the reasons
15:24
Speaker 2: she didn't back down because, as she said, they are
15:27
Speaker 2: legitimate experiences amongst her constituents. And remember she's Agreen, but
15:32
Speaker 2: she has constituents. She's not a list MP. She won's
15:36
Speaker 2: Wellington Central Fair and Square. She's talked to people who
15:39
Speaker 2: have these problems. However, the complaints of one are not
15:44
Speaker 2: the complaints of one hundred. The vast overwhelming majority of
15:48
Speaker 2: New Zealanders feel better with more cops on the beat.
15:51
Speaker 2: So she is wrong, and she was wrong to take
15:54
Speaker 2: the experience of a few and then expanded into a
15:57
Speaker 2: broad statement of let's defund the police. However, I'm going
16:02
Speaker 2: to defend her right to point out the flaws as
16:05
Speaker 2: she sees it, because that is the true meaning of
16:08
Speaker 2: free speech. Andrew dickens oh Okay Tetong and their half
16:13
Speaker 2: million dollar coffee bill. Someone asks are they going to
16:16
Speaker 2: buy vapes for the staff as well? Because where I work,
16:18
Speaker 2: people take extra bakes all the time to vape. Andy writes,
16:22
Speaker 2: I've worked my entire life with fifteen minutes smokos and
16:25
Speaker 2: thirty minute lunch breaks, which is my time to use
16:27
Speaker 2: as I see fit. Is on demand coffee a thing
16:30
Speaker 2: now requiring an organization to provide anything other than instant
16:33
Speaker 2: coffee during the entire work date, That's the question I
16:36
Speaker 2: would have thought not. And Neil writes, good morning, Andrew.
16:40
Speaker 2: The lazy council staff should take a flask from home
16:43
Speaker 2: or take a hike. All right, there's new harsher sentencing
16:49
Speaker 2: laws that are out. I'll talk about this a little
16:51
Speaker 2: bit more later on, but we need them because my
16:54
Speaker 2: family was a victim of crime yesterday, Big crime, shock
16:58
Speaker 2: and crime, brazen crime as well. Tell you that story
17:01
Speaker 2: right after the news, which is next here on You
17:03
Speaker 2: still tip.
17:12
Speaker 8: Anyway you.
17:33
Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with
17:38
Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens and one roof Make Your Property Search Simple,
17:42
Speaker 1: Youth Talk, sid B.
17:45
Speaker 9: Stub By making me so sad, Baby change bad.
17:56
Speaker 2: Welcome by you. It's Thursday up and heavn keep going
18:01
Speaker 2: stuff to do. I'm Andrew Dickinson for Yon Bridge. Got
18:04
Speaker 2: a couple more weeks to go on the show. Then
18:06
Speaker 2: header's back and winds back anyway. The Sentencing Reform Amendment
18:11
Speaker 2: Bill passed third reading in Parliament yesterday afternoon. So this
18:14
Speaker 2: CAP's the discount that judges can apply to sentencing at
18:17
Speaker 2: forty that's one new measure. Repeat discounts for showing remorse
18:21
Speaker 2: will also be prevented. And all of this is in
18:23
Speaker 2: response to you, the people who have complained that the
18:26
Speaker 2: legal system has been handing out wet tickets for sentences
18:28
Speaker 2: and criminals are not bearing the full consequences of their actions.
18:32
Speaker 2: I thought it was telling yes so that Labor reserved
18:35
Speaker 2: judgment on the law, which suggests they also realize this
18:39
Speaker 2: is a popular move. They would not commit to repeal,
18:42
Speaker 2: but let's see what happens. Are they ever getting near
18:45
Speaker 2: the Treasury benches ever?
18:46
Speaker 7: Again?
18:47
Speaker 2: Now, the real rub about all of this is where
18:48
Speaker 2: the corrections hans, the budget and the facilities to deal
18:51
Speaker 2: with a larger incarcerated population. And I guess we'll find
18:54
Speaker 2: that out in April, won't we. But if the government
18:57
Speaker 2: is prepared to put our money where their mouth is,
18:59
Speaker 2: then it will see the signal and the signals, rules
19:02
Speaker 2: of rules and consequences at consequences and think twice before
19:05
Speaker 2: profiting from crime and its misery. And speaking of which,
19:10
Speaker 2: I had a crime in the family yesterday. My partner
19:13
Speaker 2: had her e scooter stolen. She was at a big
19:16
Speaker 2: legal meeting. She's a lawyer, She's a big legal meeting.
19:18
Speaker 2: She scooted down and was outside of downtown hotel. The
19:22
Speaker 2: scooter was locked up with a titanium lock in a
19:25
Speaker 2: bike rack. It was outside the hotel's doors. There were
19:29
Speaker 2: porters and concierges there continuously. It was in a high
19:33
Speaker 2: traffic zone. People are going past all the time. But
19:35
Speaker 2: that did not stop a rat bag donning a high
19:38
Speaker 2: viz vest, grabbing his axle grinder and then sawing her
19:42
Speaker 2: scooter loose and taking off with it. Obviously, she's shocked
19:46
Speaker 2: and angry, not just at the theft, but the fact
19:50
Speaker 2: that so many passerbys stood back and let it happen,
19:55
Speaker 2: and we assumed they assumed it was some sort of
19:57
Speaker 2: council worker or something removing an abandoned scooter. And it's
20:02
Speaker 2: a warning because despite more cops on the beat, despite
20:06
Speaker 2: more private security patrolling the area, despite the harshest sentences
20:09
Speaker 2: I just talked about, New Zealand, criminals are doing it.
20:13
Speaker 2: New Zealand criminals are more efficient and are more clever
20:16
Speaker 2: and more brazen than ever. And the fight against crime
20:20
Speaker 2: is obviously never ending. And hey, we all have a
20:24
Speaker 2: part to plan it. Dicas twenty one to six. Let's
20:27
Speaker 2: go around the country. Callenproctor Joints us from Otarget. Hello morning, Andrew.
20:31
Speaker 2: So we've got wastewater going into the Shotover So what's
20:34
Speaker 2: the reaction to Queens Sound's plans. Well, it hasn't been good.
20:38
Speaker 10: The Central Otago District Councils are concerned about these plans
20:42
Speaker 10: to discharge treated wastewater into the Shotover River. Look, the
20:47
Speaker 10: Queenstown Lakes District Councils made this announcement saying they're using
20:50
Speaker 10: emergency powers to send twelve thousand cubic meters of wastewater
20:55
Speaker 10: into the river daily. They say it will have no
20:58
Speaker 10: impact on river users as it's the equivalent of just
21:01
Speaker 10: two percent of the river's flow. The central Otago Miya
21:04
Speaker 10: tama Ali says the discharge quality should be regularly monitored
21:08
Speaker 10: and she says it would get everyone comfort that the
21:11
Speaker 10: treated wastewater poses no risk.
21:13
Speaker 2: This is what happens when you boom without the infrastructure.
21:16
Speaker 2: How's your weather got rain? This morning?
21:19
Speaker 10: Should clear this afternoon, southerly's developing and fifteen the High.
21:22
Speaker 2: Claire Sherwood joins us from Grastias talacleaar.
21:24
Speaker 5: Good morning.
21:25
Speaker 2: So there's a new study done by Canterbury University into
21:28
Speaker 2: sports science.
21:29
Speaker 11: Yes, and this is an area that's overlooked when it
21:31
Speaker 11: comes to sports science research. So the Canterbury Uni team
21:36
Speaker 11: are looking into how hormones can affect elite female athletes performance.
21:40
Speaker 11: They're measuring things like physiological metrics with the saliva samples
21:44
Speaker 11: of Mata two rugby players. So the research is aiming
21:47
Speaker 11: to better understand how the menstrual cycle and things like
21:50
Speaker 11: contraceptives will affect training, recovery and overall well being. The
21:55
Speaker 11: study lead, Rebecca at Well, says female athletes have been
21:59
Speaker 11: trained like small men for so long, so hopes this
22:02
Speaker 11: research might bring some answers, particularly for women. She says
22:06
Speaker 11: the study will help to explain what could be happening
22:08
Speaker 11: inside athletes bodies so they know it's not all in
22:11
Speaker 11: their head.
22:12
Speaker 7: Yes.
22:13
Speaker 2: How's your weather in christ Church?
22:15
Speaker 11: Cloudy today, A bit of rain expected from mid afternoons
22:17
Speaker 11: south of east, developing two and the highest twenty one.
22:20
Speaker 2: Max told joins us from Wellington. HELLI, Max, good morning.
22:23
Speaker 2: So after the Miramah night of horror, what's happened next?
22:26
Speaker 12: Yeah, So, just to give a background to those who
22:29
Speaker 12: aren't familiar with this. Last week, early one morning, a
22:32
Speaker 12: man broke into a home, was discovered by the occupants.
22:35
Speaker 12: There was a scuffle and the man fled. A short
22:38
Speaker 12: time later, about twenty minutes with police trying to track
22:41
Speaker 12: this guy down, sixty three year old Abdul Nabi Zada
22:44
Speaker 12: was returning from a night shift, parked up and was
22:47
Speaker 12: found critically injured by his car. He would die in
22:50
Speaker 12: hospital the next day. This is a nice part of
22:53
Speaker 12: the peninsula, Mirramah, as you say, not too far from
22:55
Speaker 12: Park Road productions, Double Vision Brewery. Community meetings been planned.
23:01
Speaker 12: Police last night announced that they had arrested a twenty
23:04
Speaker 12: eight year old man who will appear in court today
23:06
Speaker 12: charged with aggravated burglary and aggravated injury. Police can't say
23:11
Speaker 12: yet definitively whether the two are linked, but you've got
23:15
Speaker 12: Nabi Zada's family cursing their luck that this father and
23:17
Speaker 12: husband just seemed to be in the wrong place at
23:19
Speaker 12: the wrong time as this intruder was making his getaway.
23:22
Speaker 2: More answers to come, good health, how's you were that?
23:26
Speaker 12: Mostly fine today? Northerly's twenty the High Central.
23:29
Speaker 2: Neva Rittamano joins me from Walkanhella and even good morning.
23:32
Speaker 2: What's happening with a second South Auckland hospital.
23:34
Speaker 9: Yes, well, Health Minister same and Brown now he attended
23:37
Speaker 9: the Hero's Project Aucland luncheon that had happened yesterday and
23:40
Speaker 9: he's revealed it's something that the government's exploring. So he
23:44
Speaker 9: says they're going to start detailed planning with Health New
23:47
Speaker 9: Zealand and take steps to secure land. This is four
23:50
Speaker 9: potentially a seek in South Auckland Hospital, public health doctors.
23:54
Speaker 9: So Colin took you Thongas's Middle More Hospitals bursting it
23:57
Speaker 9: the seams with patients and look, the population is growing,
24:00
Speaker 9: it's aging. And he says, look, this looks to be
24:03
Speaker 9: sensible and a welcome development that would better meet the
24:05
Speaker 9: needs of people there in South Auckland.
24:08
Speaker 2: And how's Orkin's weather?
24:09
Speaker 9: Aucan's weather fine apart from some evening cloud twenty three
24:12
Speaker 9: is a high. But Andrew, I've just got to make
24:13
Speaker 9: a quick comment about I'm outraged for your wife because
24:17
Speaker 9: about listening to your story or whose story about the
24:19
Speaker 9: theft of the scooter E scooter.
24:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, everything's done right. The security is there, people are there,
24:25
Speaker 2: but this guy high vers just goes and people just
24:27
Speaker 2: go oh yeah.
24:28
Speaker 9: And I agree with you, they're becoming more brazen. But
24:30
Speaker 9: how many Is this her third or fourth scooter?
24:33
Speaker 12: About that?
24:33
Speaker 9: Yes, she's had three or four stolen. Is she going
24:36
Speaker 9: to get another one?
24:37
Speaker 3: Well?
24:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, because he's good on her, he's good.
24:39
Speaker 7: Well.
24:39
Speaker 2: Look, I've had a text that says, I cannot believe
24:42
Speaker 2: you are hooked up with someone who uses an e scooter,
24:47
Speaker 2: And can I just say, Helen takes a fairy as
24:50
Speaker 2: she has the scooter on the ferry. She's scooters all
24:52
Speaker 2: around town on the ferry on the scooter. Yes, and
24:55
Speaker 2: we have saved a fortune and we got rid of
24:57
Speaker 2: a second car. Go Helen tell it.
25:00
Speaker 5: Keep the faith.
25:00
Speaker 2: I think she's getting another maybe for Christmas. Is sixteen
25:04
Speaker 2: to six, all right, Mitch McCann from the United States
25:06
Speaker 2: in a few moments time, as the group chat saga continues,
25:10
Speaker 2: and also what Russia wants if you need a ceasefire?
25:15
Speaker 2: It's next here on news Talk zreb Oh and Boy
25:17
Speaker 2: McMurray on Liam Lawson.
25:19
Speaker 1: International Correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of mind
25:23
Speaker 1: for New Zealand business.
25:25
Speaker 2: That is third thing to sex. Goodbody to you, So
25:28
Speaker 2: we're off to America and mtch McCann, goodbody to you. Andrew,
25:31
Speaker 2: good morning, How are you good? So this group chat
25:34
Speaker 2: thing goes on, I think well, I watched the late
25:37
Speaker 2: night shows last night, and what everyone was amazed at
25:39
Speaker 2: is how the administration is doubling down that this did
25:41
Speaker 2: not happen, that this is a line that Jeffrey Goldberg
25:44
Speaker 2: is a discredited journalist. Do we have enough out there
25:47
Speaker 2: yet to say this really did happen.
25:50
Speaker 13: Well, there has been a change this morning. Well, well,
25:52
Speaker 13: the government firstly has acknowledged this is a real chat
25:56
Speaker 13: that happened over Signal. But the question the administration has,
26:00
Speaker 13: while it calls this a hoax, says that they don't
26:03
Speaker 13: know how Jeffrey Goldberg got into the chat, and he
26:06
Speaker 13: does something that allowed himself into the chat. Really kind
26:09
Speaker 13: of hard to believe sort of stuff. And for people
26:11
Speaker 13: that are just starting to follow this, this is the
26:13
Speaker 13: story where a prominent US journalist from the Atlantic was
26:17
Speaker 13: accidentally added to a group on this messaging app called
26:20
Speaker 13: Signal alongside some of Donald Trump's closest top cabinet officials. Now,
26:25
Speaker 13: they weren't discussing what they were going to have for dinner.
26:27
Speaker 13: They were discussing bombing Yemen, and the journalist were sitting
26:30
Speaker 13: there watching this whole thing unfold. The latest development Andrew
26:34
Speaker 13: this morning is that Jeffrey Goldberg has decided, because Donald
26:37
Speaker 13: Trump says it wasn't classified, to release the entire chat. Initially,
26:42
Speaker 13: he hadn't done that because he said some of the
26:44
Speaker 13: information might be classified, he shouldn't be doing it. But
26:47
Speaker 13: he has decided this morning to do that. And the
26:50
Speaker 13: Democrats say the contents of these messages that he's released
26:53
Speaker 13: today proved that it was classified information, and they're now
26:57
Speaker 13: calling on Pete Higsseth the Secretary of Defense to resign.
27:02
Speaker 2: Well, well that won't happen, Pete seems very bold. Now
27:06
Speaker 2: let's get to some real big stuff. Russia, Ukraine. Russia's
27:09
Speaker 2: made some demands before they're going to start any ceasefire
27:11
Speaker 2: in the Black Sea. Yeah, that's right.
27:13
Speaker 13: Both Russia and Ukraine have said that they're committed to
27:16
Speaker 13: a ceasefire in the Blank Sea, but it remains unclear
27:19
Speaker 13: if this is actually going to happen and how it
27:21
Speaker 13: could work in practice. This is because the Kremlin has said, yes,
27:24
Speaker 13: well we'll go along with the seasfire, but we have
27:26
Speaker 13: some things that we want before this actually happens. It
27:30
Speaker 13: says it's not going to agree to the ceasefire on
27:32
Speaker 13: the water unless it's agricultural bank, It's State Agriculture Bank
27:36
Speaker 13: and other banks involved in sort of trade and fertilizers
27:41
Speaker 13: and things are reconnected to the international payment system known
27:45
Speaker 13: as SWIFT, and there are a few other sanctions that
27:48
Speaker 13: it wants pulled back as well before it's going to
27:50
Speaker 13: agree to this. Now, Ukraine says this is madness because
27:53
Speaker 13: you just be giving Russia what it wants. But the
27:55
Speaker 13: Trump administration is going to consider this and they're going
27:58
Speaker 13: to come up with an answer in the next couple
28:00
Speaker 13: of days. But it is movement, but Russia here it
28:03
Speaker 13: seems really dictating the terms of how it's going to
28:05
Speaker 13: move on this.
28:06
Speaker 2: Mitch, thank you so much. It is now ten minutes
28:08
Speaker 2: to six.
28:09
Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens.
28:11
Speaker 2: People have texted about Liam Lawson saying why are you guys?
28:14
Speaker 2: This is just because he's a Kiwi that you guys
28:15
Speaker 2: are so obsessed about it. This is a massive global story.
28:18
Speaker 2: You would not believe the number of people who are
28:20
Speaker 2: commenting on this, whether it's social media or generally because
28:23
Speaker 2: F one is a huge sport and it just so
28:25
Speaker 2: happens that the Kiwi is at the center of it.
28:28
Speaker 2: So we've got reports that Liam Lawson will be cut
28:30
Speaker 2: from Red Bull's top team. There's been no official announcement
28:33
Speaker 2: I've checked so far. I'll check in a moment with Bob,
28:36
Speaker 2: but the Dutch newspaper did. Telegraph reported yesterday that poor
28:40
Speaker 2: old Lillam's being dropped by Red Bull will be replaced
28:43
Speaker 2: by Yuki Sonoda in Japan. His time in F one
28:46
Speaker 2: isn't expected to be completely finished. He could return to
28:48
Speaker 2: the Racing Bulls feeder team, which he drove for last
28:50
Speaker 2: season and that's a not too bad cut. So motorsport
28:53
Speaker 2: expert Bob McMurray joins me. Now, hello, Bob, good morning, Andrews.
28:57
Speaker 2: Have you had any more intel on this? Does this
28:59
Speaker 2: really happen? Because I've I don't think I've actually seen
29:01
Speaker 2: an official confirmation.
29:03
Speaker 7: No.
29:04
Speaker 14: Since I got up earlier this morning, I looked at
29:06
Speaker 14: every single Red Bill outlet and there is nothing confirmed,
29:11
Speaker 14: no story saying this is going to happen or not
29:13
Speaker 14: going to happen at all. And apparently the only thing
29:15
Speaker 14: I've seen is that discussions are ongoing. So I don't know,
29:20
Speaker 14: but yeah, it doesn't look good with informed sources, especially
29:24
Speaker 14: the Dutch, saying that it's going to happen, it's got
29:26
Speaker 14: to believe that it may well do.
29:27
Speaker 2: Yes, this is a team that is associated with the
29:29
Speaker 2: Dutch and they often do leaks through Dutch media. Of
29:33
Speaker 2: course the whole world speculating. Here is this piece of
29:35
Speaker 2: speculation for you, And do you think that Red Bull
29:38
Speaker 2: actually suffered a Honda power play Because it's the Japanese
29:42
Speaker 2: Grand Prix, They're wanted the Japanese driver there, and of
29:44
Speaker 2: course they have a lot of money, and so they said, well,
29:46
Speaker 2: you know, let's try this out, and Red Bull's calling
29:48
Speaker 2: their bluff.
29:50
Speaker 14: Well, I think if Liam Lawson had been scoring points
29:53
Speaker 14: and he'd been doing very well, this would never have
29:55
Speaker 14: come up at all. But the meter of fact they've
29:58
Speaker 14: been thinking about it. Perhaps Red Bull, the Honda people
30:01
Speaker 14: backing Sonoda have got wind of it and said, okay,
30:04
Speaker 14: if you can put him in the car, will give
30:05
Speaker 14: you an extra ten or fifteen million or whatever it
30:07
Speaker 14: is to do that. So but the underlying problem, of
30:11
Speaker 14: course is that Lim has not, in their eyes, performed
30:14
Speaker 14: well enough to stay in the team, which is very
30:19
Speaker 14: short sighted. He's being made escapegoat, in my opinion, for
30:24
Speaker 14: the failings of the team themselves and the way they
30:27
Speaker 14: organized their young driver's program and the way they have
30:30
Speaker 14: not given him any time in the seat. And it's
30:32
Speaker 14: a fairly brutal decision from against him.
30:35
Speaker 2: Iperio has had ninety races, ninety, Ricciardo had what was
30:40
Speaker 2: it eighteen or something. Everyone's had a greater chance, Gazzi
30:42
Speaker 2: had a greater chance, but Liam just too. And there
30:44
Speaker 2: we go. But there we go, and that is the
30:47
Speaker 2: caliber of the Rebel team at the moment. Why doesn't
30:50
Speaker 2: Christin Horner fall on his sword because he's obviously made
30:52
Speaker 2: two crappy cars.
30:55
Speaker 14: Yep, well you could say that as AIG car. Actually, yes,
31:01
Speaker 14: you did. The crappy car actually suits Max with Stappan,
31:04
Speaker 14: So it's not that crappy in Max with Staffin's hands.
31:07
Speaker 14: It's just that it's a very very difficult car for
31:09
Speaker 14: any other driver to drive, and Liam cannot drive in
31:13
Speaker 14: the same manner that Max for Stappan does to make
31:16
Speaker 14: that car work, and that's the issue at point. The
31:18
Speaker 14: car is I wouldn't say designed around Max for Staffhen,
31:21
Speaker 14: but it very closely is, because clearly he's the one
31:24
Speaker 14: that is the points and everything else. So we're going
31:26
Speaker 14: to do what he wants to do with the car.
31:27
Speaker 14: So Liam sort of has to try and adapt, and
31:30
Speaker 14: unfortunately he can't adapt to a car with a loose
31:33
Speaker 14: rear end. Is the fray that happens?
31:37
Speaker 2: Amazing, amazing. Okay, we'll wait to see what, if anything
31:39
Speaker 2: concrete is going to happen from all of this, But
31:41
Speaker 2: here's the thing. This is not the end of Liam
31:43
Speaker 2: in any way, shape or form. He can still drive
31:45
Speaker 2: a car very fast. Apparently Audi and Williams have been
31:48
Speaker 2: sniffing around and wouldn't it be hilarious if he got
31:51
Speaker 2: into a racing bullcar and beat Yuki? And seven to
31:55
Speaker 2: six News.
31:56
Speaker 1: And Views You trust to start your day is the
31:59
Speaker 1: early edition with Andrew Dickens and one roof Make your
32:02
Speaker 1: Property search Simple. You've talked zimby.
32:06
Speaker 2: So on the Shotover wastewater spill that's causing all the
32:09
Speaker 2: jubati in Queenstown, Alan Wrights, why doesn't Queenstown put nets
32:13
Speaker 2: over the ponds to keep the ducks out and pump
32:15
Speaker 2: the water in land? Because remember this all started because
32:17
Speaker 2: ducks are landing on the ponds and flying in the
32:19
Speaker 2: way of the planes. And that's a fair enough point, Alan,
32:22
Speaker 2: But also you might want to ask the council, when
32:24
Speaker 2: they're consenting so much urban sprawl, why didn't they make
32:26
Speaker 2: sure that their infrastructure could cope? My Costking, Good morning.
32:30
Speaker 15: You do realize that Liam has beaten Yuki before? Oh yeah,
32:34
Speaker 15: and he will be beat Perez as well from a
32:37
Speaker 15: racing ball when Perez was in a red bull.
32:40
Speaker 2: Didn't Liam beat Yuki in New Zealand and the Toyota
