Speaker 2: on ZB this morning, just gone six after five. Welcome
0:22
Speaker 2: to your Wednesday morning. We're going to talk about gas
0:25
Speaker 2: prices this morning. Are these spot prices are skyrocketing? Apparently
0:30
Speaker 2: there is a gas crisis, did you know? And the
0:33
Speaker 2: government is looking at using emergency powers to keep the
0:36
Speaker 2: power on. We'll talk about that in just a few seconds.
0:40
Speaker 2: Also this morning, by your batch. Now, if you are
0:43
Speaker 2: ever thinking of buying a holiday home in Northland, I
0:46
Speaker 2: think now is the time. The government says it's going
0:48
Speaker 2: to accelerate a four lane highway up to Fugade, which
0:51
Speaker 2: would cut your journey time, you'd have to say by
0:53
Speaker 2: a significant margin. Also this morning, the case for interest
0:57
Speaker 2: rates to fall hard and fast, and the list at
1:00
Speaker 2: drugs that sharks are ingesting in Brazil. It's just gone
1:04
Speaker 2: seven after five.

Speaker 3: The agenda.
1:08
Speaker 2: Wednesday, the twenty fourth of July. The Secret Service Director
1:11
Speaker 2: Kimberly Cheetle has resigned after admitting the service fell short
1:15
Speaker 2: of its duty when a gunman attempted to kill former
1:18
Speaker 2: President Donald Trump. It comes just a day after Cheatle
1:21
Speaker 2: was ripped into by lawmakers at the House Oversight Committee.
1:24
Speaker 2: I don't think she should resign. I think she should
1:26
Speaker 2: have been fired. Ma'am, you're a the horror story.
1:30
Speaker 4: Would you like to use my five minutes to draft
1:32
Speaker 4: your resignation letter?
1:33
Speaker 5: Yes or no?
1:34
Speaker 1: If you want to be in charge, then answer the
1:37
Speaker 1: question or step aside.
1:39
Speaker 2: Wow, she was in charge when a president was shot,
1:43
Speaker 2: so you can kind of understand that. Joe Biden says
1:45
Speaker 2: he is going to appoint a new director soon. Biden,
1:49
Speaker 2: by the way, is going to speak for the first
1:51
Speaker 2: time on Thursday, our time about his decision to no
1:54
Speaker 2: longer seek reelection. His address to the nation will take
1:57
Speaker 2: place at the White House, where he is set to
1:59
Speaker 2: return today after recovering from COVID at his beach house
2:02
Speaker 2: in Delaware. Former Green MP Darling Tana has returned to
2:05
Speaker 2: Parliament as an independent following investigation into her involvement with
2:09
Speaker 2: her husband's business, which is accused of exploiting migrants. The
2:13
Speaker 2: Greens have pleaded for her to just bug her off,
2:15
Speaker 2: but Tana remains defined.
2:16
Speaker 6: I'm here now in doing the mahy for as long
2:19
Speaker 6: as this place follow.
2:21
Speaker 3: Out get ahead of the headlines, Ryan Bridge You for
2:26
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four on early edition with Smith City, New
2:29
Speaker 3: Zealand's Furniture Beds and a player store News Talk zid be.
2:33
Speaker 2: Everybody's doing the mhy, aren't they, and getting the treats.
2:36
Speaker 2: And it's the treats you need to you need to
2:38
Speaker 2: think about because why is she there? The answer lies
2:43
Speaker 2: in the liquidata's report which we found yesterday into her
2:45
Speaker 2: husband's business at bike shop. They are ird the taxman
2:49
Speaker 2: and creditors four hundred thousand dollars cash on hand from
2:53
Speaker 2: the liquidata's report one hundred and eighty eight dollars. So
2:57
Speaker 2: she's not there because she's a martyr for the people
3:01
Speaker 2: or any great public service need. This is about money,
3:03
Speaker 2: isn't it? Follow the money trail she's on about one
3:05
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy k year. When you've got your husband's
3:09
Speaker 2: businesses is basically up up the creek. What do you
3:13
Speaker 2: do while you sit in the library. Apparently she set
3:15
Speaker 2: up her an office in the library at Doment. You
3:19
Speaker 2: sit in the library and you get the salary, don't you.
3:21
Speaker 2: It's just gone nine after five Bridge. Also this morning,
3:25
Speaker 2: Genesis Energy, they're in a bit of a spot of
3:27
Speaker 2: bother over gas prices. So there's an interesting report from
3:31
Speaker 2: Business Desk. It says that government officials are talking about
3:35
Speaker 2: emergency powers to make sure that gas is supplied to
3:39
Speaker 2: critical users. This is quite major stuff. There's a bill
3:42
Speaker 2: that was passed in two thousand and eight that gives
3:44
Speaker 2: the government the power to make sure that critical users
3:47
Speaker 2: get the gas that they need. Forsythe Bar has downgraded
3:50
Speaker 2: its rating on Genesis Energy because of its uncertain gas outlook.
3:55
Speaker 2: Demand is our exceeding supply as sorry, is exceeding supply,
4:00
Speaker 2: and there's no solution insight. That's according to forsythe Bar
4:03
Speaker 2: spot gas prices are at record levels. They're trading above
4:06
Speaker 2: thirty eight dollars thirty eight dollars gigajuels. That's four hundred
4:10
Speaker 2: percent more than a year ago, four hundred percent. And
4:14
Speaker 2: let's not forget that Genesis announced in May, remember we
4:17
Speaker 2: spoke about this last week, that it's burning through half
4:20
Speaker 2: a million tons of imported coal right now this winter,
4:25
Speaker 2: and when this winter is over, they will order three
4:28
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty thousand more tons of coal from overseas
4:32
Speaker 2: just to keep the lights on. Great news, Let's burn
4:35
Speaker 2: the coal, let's demonize the gas. Excellent, just go on.
4:38
Speaker 2: Ten minutes after five. Coming up next, we're going to
4:40
Speaker 2: talk about that secret service agent boss a little bit more.
4:44
Speaker 2: Also later in the show, the New Zealand Collective of
4:47
Speaker 2: Abused in State Care Charitable Trust. This report is out today.
4:51
Speaker 2: Apparently it's three thousand pages long and fourteen kilograms. That
4:54
Speaker 2: will be a big talking point today, so we'll keep
4:56
Speaker 2: you up to date with that right now. It is
4:58
Speaker 2: eleven after five.
5:02
Speaker 3: News and Views You Trust has done. Your day is
5:05
Speaker 3: early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's furniture,
5:09
Speaker 3: beds and a playing store.
5:10
Speaker 2: News Talk said be thirteen after five on news Talk
5:13
Speaker 2: said b there is a case being made for interest
5:16
Speaker 2: rates to fall hard and fast. We'll talk about that
5:18
Speaker 2: in a second. That's from the Economist Ed mc knight
5:20
Speaker 2: and the Herald. Right now, though, we could be missing
5:23
Speaker 2: out on two hundred and fifty million dollars a year
5:26
Speaker 2: due to payWave and online credit card fees. That's according
5:29
Speaker 2: to the ComCom the Commerce Commission, who say that there
5:31
Speaker 2: needs to be more regulation to stop retailers unnecessarily overcharging
5:36
Speaker 2: their customers. They are consulting on the changes that they
5:39
Speaker 2: want to make. They've also set a goal to see
5:42
Speaker 2: SURD charges for contact lists or online payments fall between
5:46
Speaker 2: one and a half and two percent. Caroen Young is
5:48
Speaker 2: from retail end Z and she's with me this morning. Carolyn,
5:51
Speaker 2: good morning. What do you think of what do you
5:54
Speaker 2: think is a reasonable fee to charge?
5:57
Speaker 5: Look, I think it's an early days to recare what
6:00
Speaker 5: would be a reasonable fee to charge with what we
6:02
Speaker 5: do now is as pretty complicated system, and there's a
6:05
Speaker 5: lot of players with their hands in the till while
6:08
Speaker 5: we're working through the process and when we want it
6:11
Speaker 5: to be much more simpler, more straightforward, easy for retailers
6:15
Speaker 5: and consumers to follow, something that's open and transparent so
6:19
Speaker 5: that everyone understands how it looks and what's reasonable to pay.
6:24
Speaker 2: So do the shop owners get charged? Do they all
6:27
Speaker 2: get charged a different amount from that merchant service fee
6:31
Speaker 2: that they pay or is that a uniform fee across everyone?
6:36
Speaker 5: There are lots of differencies within the payment gateways that
6:41
Speaker 5: you pay, depending on the type of card, the banks
6:45
Speaker 5: you're with, the terminal provider, the card transaction that goes through.
6:51
Speaker 5: You know, there's lots of different ways in which that
6:53
Speaker 5: comes through, and what we're one of the one of
6:56
Speaker 5: the things we're looking for is to make sure that
6:58
Speaker 5: it's all streamlined so that everybody's bank statement clearly states
7:02
Speaker 5: what their total SEE is at the end of each month.
7:07
Speaker 2: Are we getting ripped off? Is the ComCom right?
7:12
Speaker 5: There's probably an element of the fees that could certainly
7:16
Speaker 5: be trims, that's for sure, and that sits with the
7:23
Speaker 5: financial services system within that space, and that's passed on
7:27
Speaker 5: to retailers and often passed on to consenters.
7:30
Speaker 2: So you're saying it's not the retailers are who are
7:33
Speaker 2: adding a bit of fat in there. It's the visas
7:37
Speaker 2: and the master cards.
7:39
Speaker 5: Well, there are times when some of the fees that
7:43
Speaker 5: are passed on to consumers are probably not as accurately
7:47
Speaker 5: reflected as they could be. And part of that, from
7:50
Speaker 5: the conversations we've had with people, is through lack of
7:54
Speaker 5: knowledge through a really complicated system. So we want system
7:58
Speaker 5: to be a lot more pall and straightforward so that
8:01
Speaker 5: everyone can follow it and that all of the players
8:05
Speaker 5: in that space. There's always bad actors that operate in
8:09
Speaker 5: spaces that they are providing good advice to businesses, you know,
8:13
Speaker 5: both retailers and hospitality businesses, and we're working alongside hospitality
8:19
Speaker 5: to jointly go out to our members and come back.
8:22
Speaker 5: We're pretty aligned on where we see things and we
8:25
Speaker 5: want to see improvements across the board.
8:27
Speaker 2: All right, Carolyn, thanks so much of your time. It's
8:28
Speaker 2: Carolyn Young from Retailing Z sixteen after five and not
8:33
Speaker 2: every day you get Retailing ZED saying basically, yes, some
8:35
Speaker 2: retailers probably are overcharging. Whether they know that overcharging or not. Well,
8:42
Speaker 2: I guess that's up to interpretation, isn't it? Interesting article
8:45
Speaker 2: from Ed McKnight, The Economist and the heralds Oh, sorry,
8:48
Speaker 2: I should say one roof dot co, dot and Z
8:49
Speaker 2: go and check it out. Fixed rates of five percent. Gosh,
8:52
Speaker 2: that got my heart of flutter ah. Yes, please like
8:57
Speaker 2: to go back to those days. And he's basically making
9:00
Speaker 2: the case for interest rates to fall hard and fast,
9:04
Speaker 2: as you know, inflation at three point three percent. Hopefully
9:07
Speaker 2: we're going to hit our target by Christmas of one
9:09
Speaker 2: to three percent. Wholesale interest rates are down. That is good.
9:13
Speaker 2: A and Z westpack A whole bunch of others slashing
9:16
Speaker 2: the one year rates. That is good, A and Z
9:18
Speaker 2: predicting a one year rate of five point seven percent
9:21
Speaker 2: by June twenty twenty five. That is good. But then
9:25
Speaker 2: you've got non tradable inflation being sticky, still sticky according
9:30
Speaker 2: to the Reserve Bank. And also the Aussies. Remember they
9:32
Speaker 2: cut their rates, inflation came back up and they had
9:37
Speaker 2: to put it back on again. And then you've got
9:39
Speaker 2: Adrian or who it's a bit like waiting for Santa
9:43
Speaker 2: to give you your presents at Christmas. I feel that
9:46
Speaker 2: that's the way I feel about Adrian all right now,
9:48
Speaker 2: because it's just you're just paying, you know, an arm
9:51
Speaker 2: and a leg to service your mortgage. He's probably gave
9:55
Speaker 2: us too many presents last Christmas, and he's probably going
9:58
Speaker 2: to be a little stingy for a while longer yet,
10:01
Speaker 2: because he doesn't want to be the guy who didn't
10:03
Speaker 2: properly put the fire out that he kind of started. Anyway,
10:08
Speaker 2: we'll look more into that later on the show. It's
10:10
Speaker 2: just gone eighteen after five, coming up next four lane
10:14
Speaker 2: expressway and you believe it from Auckland all the way
10:17
Speaker 2: to Fungaday.
10:17
Speaker 3: But when ryan Bridge New for twenty twenty four on
10:22
Speaker 3: early edition with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds and
10:26
Speaker 3: a playing store.
10:27
Speaker 2: News Talk Zidby, Good morning, Welcome to early edition twenty
10:30
Speaker 2: after five. The government is accelerating work on a four
10:33
Speaker 2: lane expressway from Auckland all the way up to fung Ada.
10:36
Speaker 2: There's already the Poohoy to Welsford, beautiful stretch of road
10:39
Speaker 2: that is in place now. It's been classed as a
10:42
Speaker 2: road of National Significance and is set to give better
10:45
Speaker 2: and safer access to Northland which is regularly cut off
10:49
Speaker 2: at the brim Dowbins. Not cut off. You can go around,
10:51
Speaker 2: but gosha AD's journey time, doesn't it. We're going to
10:54
Speaker 2: go to Darren Fisher, now the chief executive of North Chamber.
10:58
Speaker 2: Good morning Darren. You're obviously excited about this, but are
11:01
Speaker 2: you skeptical about the date because we haven't got one yet, right.
11:06
Speaker 7: Yeah, good morning, right, Yeah, obviously very excited here at
11:09
Speaker 7: Northend that you know, we've heard this, we've heard this
11:12
Speaker 7: before and getting getting a digger bucket in the ground
11:16
Speaker 7: is probably the second most important thing that's ever happened
11:19
Speaker 7: in North and i'd say.
11:21
Speaker 2: Can you tell me what have they told you privately
11:24
Speaker 2: as the government told you privately any dates.
11:28
Speaker 7: No, they haven't, and I think there's still some work
11:31
Speaker 7: to go on there as far as consents and obtaining
11:35
Speaker 7: land and business cases go. But you as a as
11:38
Speaker 7: a community, we're here to make sure we accelerate that
11:41
Speaker 7: as quickly as we can.
11:43
Speaker 2: N CTA did resilience work on the brindurwins. Do you
11:47
Speaker 2: think there was? It's resilient.
11:50
Speaker 7: Well, I think the events of the weekend show us
11:52
Speaker 7: that it's not. No, I think someone's relatively lucky that
11:57
Speaker 7: they weren't killed in that extra slip that happened on
11:59
Speaker 7: the weekend. And it's still very fragile, and you know
12:03
Speaker 7: we're still susceptible to being cut off. So no, in
12:07
Speaker 7: the Papara Oakley Road, which is one of the diversion
12:09
Speaker 7: roads you mentioned, that was also not up to scratch either.
12:13
Speaker 7: So you know, there's a lot of work to do
12:15
Speaker 7: to make sure that not only Northend but all of
12:17
Speaker 7: New Zealand benefits from this four.
12:18
Speaker 2: Lane highlight because in the meantime, because let's be honest,
12:20
Speaker 2: it's going to take at least a decade you would
12:24
Speaker 2: say before anything, actually before we can actually drive on
12:26
Speaker 2: this thing. So in the meantime we're going to have
12:28
Speaker 2: this brindeau and open closed, open clothes, open clothes.
12:32
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's what I would expect to see.
12:34
Speaker 6: Rhyme.
12:34
Speaker 7: I think that's a fair assessment. Absolutely.
12:37
Speaker 2: Do you have any idea of the economic benefit to
12:39
Speaker 2: the region if they were to fall laneo Fang a day.
12:41
Speaker 2: Has anyone put a number on it?
12:43
Speaker 8: Yeah?
12:44
Speaker 7: The Northern Corporate Group, you know, very nicely put a
12:48
Speaker 7: business case together that shows significant growth for the region.
12:51
Speaker 7: But I think it's it's a great opportunity for our
12:56
Speaker 7: population to grow. And I think people take this current
13:00
Speaker 7: business case and they say, oh, it's only two hundred
13:01
Speaker 7: thousand people and it's a holiday highway. Well, you know,
13:04
Speaker 7: that couldn't be further from the truth. North and it's
13:06
Speaker 7: a very strategic asset for all of New Zealand, and
13:09
Speaker 7: I think our population will grow significantly on the back
13:11
Speaker 7: of having a good connection to Auckland and that's our
13:14
Speaker 7: biggest economic zone of New Zealand, being Auckland and where
13:17
Speaker 7: it's neighbor so everyone can benefit from this road too.
13:20
Speaker 2: Right, Darren, thank you very much for your time. Darren Fisher,
13:22
Speaker 2: the North Chamber Chief Executive with us this morning. Hope
13:26
Speaker 2: you know fingers crossed that that road gets built as
13:29
Speaker 2: soon as it possibly can. It's just gone twenty three
13:31
Speaker 2: after five year old News Talk said, be coming up
13:33
Speaker 2: next to the shambles that is Health New Zealand.
13:37
Speaker 3: Separating the fact from the section ad Spurling edition with
13:42
Speaker 3: Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and applied store.
13:45
Speaker 2: News Talk ZB twenty five after five news Talk said,
13:48
Speaker 2: be the press conference yesterday for Health New Zealand. Boy
13:51
Speaker 2: oh boy, what a doozy. So they've appointed Lester Levy
13:54
Speaker 2: as the commissioner. The CEO, Margie Arper was there alongside him.
13:59
Speaker 2: She's been in the job two years. That's how long
14:02
Speaker 2: the organization's been set up for. And they're over spending
14:05
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty million dollars a month. We know
14:07
Speaker 2: that that can be nothing more than mismanagement. If you
14:10
Speaker 2: take Levy's word for it, he says they don't need
14:13
Speaker 2: more money, They basically just don't know how to spend
14:16
Speaker 2: efficiently within the organization as it stands. So I mean
14:20
Speaker 2: that's mismanagement, short and simple. Start to finish and the
14:23
Speaker 2: whole thing for me was a farce. They said, we
14:26
Speaker 2: need to push into the regions. That's where the decision
14:28
Speaker 2: making is made. What isn't it that what we said
14:32
Speaker 2: we didn't need. We needed more centralization, we needed a
14:35
Speaker 2: national service. And now we're going out to the regions again,
14:38
Speaker 2: apparently hiring four regionals. Oars. Why did we spend all
14:42
Speaker 2: this money to set this organization up? It's so frustrating
14:45
Speaker 2: to listen to. They also said, we're never going to
14:48
Speaker 2: achieve the proper transition from the DHBs to this new
14:52
Speaker 2: organization in two years. Are you serious? Imagine a private
14:57
Speaker 2: business changing its operating model and two in saying oh,
15:01
Speaker 2: the change hasn't worked, but it's still early days. It
15:03
Speaker 2: just wouldn't happen. And then there was this Levy who
15:06
Speaker 2: sits on a whole bunch of boards and knows what
15:09
Speaker 2: he's talking about. Casually said that their spending controls and
15:13
Speaker 2: checks and balances are not up to scratch.
15:15
Speaker 3: Internal and management controls are much weaker than I would
15:18
Speaker 3: have expected. So we have spending problems all over the show.
15:23
Speaker 2: What an absolute cluster. I hate to be negative, I
15:26
Speaker 2: really do. I know it's early in the morning. I
15:28
Speaker 2: hate to be negative, but I just lost all the
15:31
Speaker 2: will to live yesterday. Just as simple we request from me,
15:35
Speaker 2: let's make sure that when we appoint boards and executives
15:38
Speaker 2: that they actually know what they're doing. They can read
15:40
Speaker 2: a spreadsheet. Good luck, Lester, I think you'll need it.
15:44
Speaker 2: Bryan Bridge, twenty seven after five. Anyway, let's move on
15:48
Speaker 2: to some good news. It's not actually it's terrible. Sunday
15:53
Speaker 2: was the hottest day in recorded history. Scene n's just
15:55
Speaker 2: put a story out. Leo has just handed me the story,
15:58
Speaker 2: our producer to preliminary data from a climate tracking agency
16:03
Speaker 2: monitoring temperatures. So since the mid nineteen hundreds, it's the
16:08
Speaker 2: second consecutive year average global temperatures have crashed through shocking
16:13
Speaker 2: climate records and will not be the last, as planet
16:16
Speaker 2: warming fossil fuel pollution drives temperatures to shocking new highs.
16:21
Speaker 2: Do you know what, I'm not shocked, and I don't
16:24
Speaker 2: really care. I just think, oh, better for some bathing
16:29
Speaker 2: in summer. You know, I just don't really care when
16:32
Speaker 2: I hear you hear so many stories like this now,
16:34
Speaker 2: I think it's almost like overkill, you know. I mean,
16:37
Speaker 2: obviously we have got to do something about it. Blah
16:39
Speaker 2: blah blah. I mean, here's the thing. I don't have children,
16:42
Speaker 2: so I actually have a reason not to care. I mean,
16:44
Speaker 2: I'm not leaving the planet in any state for anyone
16:47
Speaker 2: behind me. Am I you know, I'm just worried about,
16:51
Speaker 2: you know, my tan in the European summer, and it's
16:56

Speaker 2: Secret Service boss Kimberly Cheetle who has resigned, also a
17:06
Speaker 2: netball coach in a bit of hot water for using
17:08
Speaker 2: the word feral, and the drug that sharks are ingesting
17:13
Speaker 2: in Brazil. We'll get to all of that, plus the
17:15
Speaker 2: abuse in steak here inquiring the big report being released today.

17:53
Speaker 9: Did your trug brigs?
17:55
Speaker 6: Did you put through my dix fun?
18:04
Speaker 2: Good morning, twenty four minutes away from six year on
18:07
Speaker 2: News Talk, sa'd be I'm Rhyan Bridge, Great to have
18:09
Speaker 2: your company this morning as you wake up to what
18:12
Speaker 2: should be a pretty good day for most otherwise. The
18:15
Speaker 2: Secret Service Kimberly Cheatle, the boss has resigned. Talk about
18:20
Speaker 2: a bad day at the office. I mean, how did
18:22
Speaker 2: she hang on really for a couple of weeks since
18:25
Speaker 2: former President Trump the assassination attempt on his life. I mean,
18:29
Speaker 2: that's her job. She's the boss of the Secret Service.
18:32
Speaker 2: A bullet managed to hit a nominee for president. You
18:36
Speaker 2: have to resign, don't you.
18:38
Speaker 7: She was.
18:39
Speaker 2: It's a bad day at the office. What can you say?
18:41
Speaker 2: So she's gone, and Biden's going to appoint a new one. Sharks.
18:46
Speaker 2: You know, when you're swimming, what is worse than a
18:49
Speaker 2: shark in the water. A shark on cocaine. I would
18:53
Speaker 2: wager it's been found in sharks off the coast of
18:56
Speaker 2: Rio de Janeiro at alarming rates, high levels in their
19:00
Speaker 2: muscles and their liver one hundred times higher than in
19:03
Speaker 2: other animals. And I know what you're thinking, how do
19:07
Speaker 2: they snort it underwater? They don't. People. This is how
19:13
Speaker 2: it happens. The researchers reckon people use cocaine in Rio Degenio.
19:19
Speaker 2: They do their number ones and their number two's and
19:21
Speaker 2: the sewerage outflows hit the ocean and the sharks ingest
19:24
Speaker 2: it that way, there you go. Just nothing more frightening
19:27
Speaker 2: than shark on cocaine. I suppose if the shark was
19:31
Speaker 2: on marijuana and they got the munchies. You wouldn't want
19:34
Speaker 2: that either, would you. You probably don't want your sharks
19:37
Speaker 2: on anything. Actually, just gone twenty two minutes away from
19:40
Speaker 2: six Bread Rich Duneda now with Callum Proctor, the South
19:45
Speaker 2: Otago town that's celebrating after winning a six sixty concert. Yeah,

19:55
Speaker 10: as the winning town of six sixties one More Show contest,
19:59
Speaker 10: so sitement levels pretty high there.
20:01

Speaker 10: Fans had to vote to decide the winning venue that
20:04
Speaker 10: would host the last concert of the band's grassroots small
20:07
Speaker 10: town tour, and after some pretty vigorous campaigning, Bellcluther's come

20:27
Speaker 2: That's called They're good guys. And the weather today come
20:31
Speaker 2: mainly fine, high cloud westerlies and seventeen the high today,
20:35
Speaker 2: thank you. Claire Sherwood is in christ Church for us
20:38
Speaker 2: this morning. It's d Day for the environment Canterbridge here,
20:41
Speaker 2: that's right.
20:42
Speaker 4: Ryan Counselors are expected to meet today to discuss Peter
20:46
Speaker 4: Scott's future in the organization following an investigation and a
20:50
Speaker 4: formal warning into unconsented farm irrigation. Of course, he revealed
20:54
Speaker 4: that during an interview right here on News Talk SeeDB
20:57
Speaker 4: councilor John sunk Now says he backs Scott and he's
21:00
Speaker 4: been intimately involved in conversations with the government around issues
21:04
Speaker 4: including public transport and resilience. He says the council needs
21:08
Speaker 4: Scott's leadership and knowledge to continue those discussions for the
21:11
Speaker 4: betterment of Canterbury, and if he's no longer there, someone
21:14
Speaker 4: else will have to start again.
21:17
Speaker 2: Clear weather today.
21:18
Speaker 4: Nice here in christ Church, fine with light, wins are
21:21
Speaker 4: higher fifteen with two overnight.
21:23
Speaker 2: Beautiful, thank you, and we're going to max Tole and Wellington.
21:26
Speaker 2: Now you've got an update on rates rises. Max.
21:29
Speaker 11: Yes, some unexpected swings for some this week, higher than
21:33
Speaker 11: expected rates rises, lower than expected for some as well.
21:36
Speaker 11: To be fair, the city Council's rate rise was voted
21:39
Speaker 11: on as eighteen point five percent, the regional council nineteen
21:42
Speaker 11: point eight percent. The overall figure is a combination of both,
21:47
Speaker 11: but for some in the city it's going to equate
21:50
Speaker 11: to more than twenty one percent. That's because there are
21:52
Speaker 11: different ratings districts around the region getting their valuations at
21:55
Speaker 11: different times. The cities was done at a round market
21:58
Speaker 11: peak podlydof for instance, skinning a lower rates rise than
22:01
Speaker 11: expected probably do are done near the market bottom, so
22:04
Speaker 11: swings in roundabouts, says the City Council. The shoe could
22:06
Speaker 11: be on the other foot in a few years regardless,
22:09
Speaker 11: tough times for many.
22:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, you would be pretty upset with that, wouldn't you. Max,
22:14
Speaker 2: than we're there for today in the capitol.
22:16
Speaker 11: Mainly fine thirteen the high Central brilliant.
22:18

22:42
Speaker 12: you know, the overhead lines are in apparently you know
22:45
Speaker 12: it's only taken what how many twenty years or so? No,
22:48
Speaker 12: so now it's moving into this testing and commissioning phase.
22:51
Speaker 12: I was having a bit of a chuckle with your
22:53
Speaker 12: producer Leo because as I was walking through, he was like, oh, yeah,

23:08
Speaker 12: getting a group together in the newsroom to ride to
23:10
Speaker 12: go to the subway.
23:11
Speaker 13: We're going to pretend we're in New York.

Speaker 2: It's open. Well, do you know what. I've actually been
23:14
Speaker 2: down there for a story. I did a couple I
23:17
Speaker 2: don't know, a year ago or so. The testing phase
23:20
Speaker 2: is actually going to take a long time, they said,
23:22
Speaker 2: because they haven't used this type of equipment in New
23:25
Speaker 2: Zealand before. So the testing phase I think could take
23:28
Speaker 2: at least six months to a year.
23:29
Speaker 13: Are you Are you trying to boost my bubble a
23:31
Speaker 13: little bit?

25:19
Speaker 2: Fourteen to six News talk to b Gevin Gray is
25:21
Speaker 2: ow UK and Europe correspondence. A radical preacher has been
25:25
Speaker 2: found guilty under UK terra laws.
25:27
Speaker 8: Gevin, Yeah, that's right, Ran. Now, the name and jam
25:31
Speaker 8: Chowdry might not be well known to many people, but
25:35
Speaker 8: it is well known in the UK, and that is
25:38
Speaker 8: because he's a man who's continually gone very close, sailing
25:42
Speaker 8: to the wind, very close when it comes to supporting
25:45
Speaker 8: Islamic state and supporting Islamic terrorism. At least that's what
25:49
Speaker 8: his opponents say. Today, he's been found guilty of directing
25:54
Speaker 8: a group banned under UK terror laws and also encouraging
25:58
Speaker 8: support for it online. The group is called al Mahahadji
26:02
Speaker 8: Ruhn and it's said to be something that he founded
26:06
Speaker 8: and now he faces life in prison for that. The
26:09
Speaker 8: group is effectively someone that has been linked to all
26:13
Speaker 8: sorts of different action here in the UK. Three attackers
26:17
Speaker 8: that killed eight people at London Bridge in twenty seventeen
26:20
Speaker 8: were led by a former member of the group. The
26:22
Speaker 8: murder of five people at Westminster Bridge earlier that year
26:25
Speaker 8: was by a man who'd spent years associating with the group,
26:28
Speaker 8: and another member killed two people at London's Fishmongers Hall
26:32
Speaker 8: back in twenty nineteen. So the police say this group
26:35
Speaker 8: has a clear linked terrorist attacks, and they believe as
26:38
Speaker 8: well and have now proven it in a court of law.
26:40
Speaker 8: And Jim Chowdry has a clear link and is a
26:43
Speaker 8: member of.
26:44
Speaker 2: It, all right, Kevin the very quickly. The Hungary has
26:48
Speaker 2: kind of got itself on a spot of bothered with
26:49
Speaker 2: the European Union.
26:51
Speaker 8: Yeah, shrugging it off though so of course, the European
26:54
Speaker 8: Union presidency is on a rotation among the members of
26:59
Speaker 8: the EU. It's Hungary's turn, and Hungary has really led
27:02
Speaker 8: the way in completely disagreeing with EU policy when it
27:05
Speaker 8: comes to Ukraine and Russia. The Prime Minister Victor Auban
27:09
Speaker 8: is currently holding that EU presidency and yet on an
27:13
Speaker 8: unofficial meeting when to meet President Putin, and also has
27:16
Speaker 8: in the past said that the EU kind of provoked
27:19
Speaker 8: the war in Ukraine. Anyway, he's now been wrapped on
27:22
Speaker 8: the knuckles, but it's a very small rap. He was
27:26
Speaker 8: due to host the EU Foreign and Defense ministers in
27:29
Speaker 8: formal meetings which take place every six month. It was
27:32
Speaker 8: going to take place in Hungary. It's now not and
27:35
Speaker 8: Hungry won't be holding the chair post either that's going
27:39
Speaker 8: to be given to another country. It all sounds very
27:41
Speaker 8: small beer and indeed Hungry's described the move as completely childish,
27:45
Speaker 8: but it certainly shows just how fed up the EU
27:49
Speaker 8: is with the Hungarian presidency so far.
27:52
Speaker 2: Kevin, thank you for that. Kevin Gray, UK europe correspondent
27:55
Speaker 2: with us this morning. It is eleven to six, Ryan Bridge,
27:59
Speaker 2: Big day today. Royal Commission report into abuse in state
28:02
Speaker 2: care is set to be released after a five year inquiry.
28:05
Speaker 2: The Prime Minister says he's read about half of the
28:08
Speaker 2: three thousand page report and it is due to given
28:10
Speaker 2: apology to victims in November. Carl Tody is an abuse
28:14
Speaker 2: and state care survivor also the founder of the Collective
28:18
Speaker 2: of Abused in State Care Charitable Trust, and he's with
28:20
Speaker 2: us this morning. Carl, good morning, Thank you for being
28:23
Speaker 2: with me. What are you expecting today? Have you have
28:26
Speaker 2: you had a look at the report yet? Have they've
28:27
Speaker 2: given you a copy?
28:30
Speaker 6: No, they haven't ever managed to have a look at
28:34
Speaker 6: before report. But I was privy to the final recommendations
28:39
Speaker 6: prior to the report being released. But first of all,
28:41
Speaker 6: I just want to just acknowledge all my brothers and
28:44
Speaker 6: sisters that have passed, you know, I liking it to
28:48
Speaker 6: the antics where a lot of our a lot of
28:50
Speaker 6: the soldiers were I've never forgotten. Where's a lot of
28:54
Speaker 6: our soldiers always have been forgotten? And I just want
28:58
Speaker 6: to just pay homage to them, first and foremost. And
29:00
Speaker 6: I also want to pay to a big shout out
29:03
Speaker 6: to all the brothers and sisters that are making their
29:04
Speaker 6: way down here to Wontington to attend the final report.
29:10
Speaker 2: What are you hoping will come of the report? Because
29:13
Speaker 2: it's not about compensation that the Royal Commission, it's about recommendations.
29:18
Speaker 2: What do you what's what's the one thing you hope
29:21
Speaker 2: changes or happens.
29:24
Speaker 6: Well, First and foremost, I want I want the crimes
29:26
Speaker 6: to be acknowledged, the crimes that were committed against children
29:30
Speaker 6: and the genocide of children. And I and I and
29:33
Speaker 6: I call it for what it really is, genocide because
29:36
Speaker 6: the many that have just that were that were that
29:39
Speaker 6: were abused, and a lot of that it's not actually
29:41
Speaker 6: just been acknowledged and the perpetrators haven't been named or
29:46
Speaker 6: or brought to account to the public honor really, and
29:49
Speaker 6: it's that's the main thing, And importantly is the Crown
29:54
Speaker 6: to acknowledge the crimes that were committed against children.
29:58
Speaker 2: You want names, detail dates, you want organizations called out.
30:05
Speaker 6: Exactly while you know they're all trying a sidestep. The
30:13
Speaker 6: most important part is that acknowledgement or the crimes committed.
30:16
Speaker 6: It's easy to give an apology, but please acknowledge the
30:21
Speaker 6: crimes committed against.
30:22
Speaker 2: Judn wel thank you for your time. That report has
30:25
Speaker 2: been released today after as we've said, a five year
30:28
Speaker 2: long inquiry. The Royal Commission Report into Abuse in State
30:31
Speaker 2: Here is three thousand pages long, apparently weighs fourteen kilograms.
30:37
Speaker 2: The government making its way through it and due to
30:39
Speaker 2: apologize in November. That was Carl Tody, the survivor and
30:42
Speaker 2: founder of the New Zealand Collective of Abused in State
30:45
Speaker 2: Care Charitable Trust. It is nine minutes away from six
30:48
Speaker 2: on newstalk, said b the Netball. We will get to
30:51
Speaker 2: that comment by a netball coach in just a few moments. Also,
30:55
Speaker 2: we'll talk to Mike Costing ahead of his show. It
30:57
Speaker 2: is eight two six.
31:00
Speaker 3: The first word on the News of the Day Early
31:03
Speaker 3: edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's furniture
31:07
Speaker 3: beds and a playing store news talks.
31:10
Speaker 2: You might have seen this in the news Mary and
31:12
Speaker 2: Delaney Hoshick. She's the tactics coach. This is netball. A
31:16
Speaker 2: story yesterday she was in a bit of hot water
31:18
Speaker 2: or getting slammed for saying that the other team that
31:20
Speaker 2: they were playing, they were playing a bit feral was
31:23
Speaker 2: the word that she used. He listen, this is when
31:25
Speaker 2: she's rallying the troops at halftime. Have a listen.
31:31
Speaker 13: Take fee all of that.
31:33
Speaker 6: What's wrong with that?
31:34
Speaker 2: She's she's literally trying to rally the troops, you know,
31:36
Speaker 2: get them all excited and get some I mean, you
31:39
Speaker 2: don't want to say, go and elbow your opponents in
31:41
Speaker 2: the ribs. But it happens, doesn't It a netball a
31:44
Speaker 2: bit of argie bargie, but a bit of rough and tumble.
31:47
Speaker 2: That's just sport. I would have thought five minutes away
31:50
Speaker 2: from six o'clock on news Talk, sebb Ryan Bridge Mike
31:53
Speaker 2: Hosking is next. Good morning morning.
31:55
Speaker 14: I'm worried about the Olympics because I'm reading this morning
31:59
Speaker 14: that there's a group of people who work out who's
32:02
Speaker 14: going to be winning medals and how many medals are.
32:04
Speaker 14: First of all, there's been a rape in France overnight
32:07
Speaker 14: with an Australian. Two of the Channel nine people have
32:10
Speaker 14: been attacked. They're saying, if you're an athlete, don't go out,
32:15
Speaker 14: preferably don't go out beyond the village, and if you do,
32:18
Speaker 14: certainly don't wear a uniform because that immediately identifies you
32:21
Speaker 14: as some sort of athlete. So it's a cool start
32:23
Speaker 14: and that's where you get to the dirty river and
32:25
Speaker 14: all that sort of thing. Anyway, these people do this
32:27
Speaker 14: thing whereby they work out who's going to be winning
32:29
Speaker 14: medals and how many of them and stuff like that.
32:31
Speaker 2: They've got us winning fourteen. Is that good?
32:34
Speaker 14: No, because in Tokyo we won twenty, which was quite good.
32:38
Speaker 14: We're only going to win four gold apparently, I mean
32:42
Speaker 14: obviously who are these people? Well, they work it out
32:45
Speaker 14: from history and they look at the competition as to
32:48
Speaker 14: where people are at currently. But two of the four
32:52
Speaker 14: golds are the rugby and the seven. So the men
32:55
Speaker 14: and the women they pick to win gold. So that's
32:57
Speaker 14: two immediately, Lisa Carrington's going to win one. Yeah, so
33:01
Speaker 14: being done, Liz Krington wins another one in the car
33:03
Speaker 14: things the K two could be the K four doesn't matter. Anyway,
33:05
Speaker 14: fourteen medals is not many medals.
33:08
Speaker 9: Let's hope they're wrong. Well, you know, let's improve them wrong. Well,
33:11
Speaker 9: yeah you could, Yeah you could do that. Good on
33:13
