0:15
Speaker 2: It'd be good morning at a six after five. Welcome
0:18
Speaker 2: to your Wednesday. How much time and money will we
0:21
Speaker 2: really save from these trade consenting changes? We'll ask that
0:25
Speaker 2: question just before six this morning, Truancy. The numbers are
0:28
Speaker 2: really really bad. Do we really need post shops? Do
0:32
Speaker 2: we really need mail boxes? We'll ask that question too,
0:36
Speaker 2: Plus Gavin Gray and the UK.
0:39
Speaker 3: The agenda.
0:40
Speaker 2: It is Wednesday, the thirtieth of October. Israel's parliament has
0:43
Speaker 2: officially passed two laws banning the United Nations Relief Agency
0:48
Speaker 2: from operating in Israel.
0:49
Speaker 4: They really play an irreplaceable role right now in Gaza.
0:51
Speaker 4: We're there on the front lines getting humanitarian assistants to
0:55
Speaker 4: the people they needed. There's nobody that can replace them
0:58
Speaker 4: right now in the middle of the crisis. So we
1:00
Speaker 4: continue to urge the government of Israel to pause the implementation.
1:07
Speaker 2: The new laws come into force in three months time,
1:09
Speaker 2: which is when everyone's worried about the food and the
1:12
Speaker 2: aid and etc. Getting through. Russia has taken control of
1:16
Speaker 2: the key city of Salvadov in southeastern Ukraine. It had
1:21
Speaker 2: been used as a staging area for Ukraine's forces trying
1:24
Speaker 2: to stop Russia from advancing further into the Danetsk region.
1:27
Speaker 2: Over in Australia, Elbows on the defense over his free
1:31
Speaker 2: flight upgrades.
1:33
Speaker 5: Well, let's be clear about this. So I've been completely
1:35
Speaker 5: transparent about this. All of my flights have been declared
1:40
Speaker 5: in an appropriate way, just as petered up and declared
1:44
Speaker 5: he's flights or some of his.
1:45
Speaker 2: Flights oppositionally to Peter, and Duston speaking of him, says
1:49
Speaker 2: Elbow should refer himself to a corruption inquiry over the upgrades.
1:54
Speaker 2: In the US, bank, JP Morgan Chase is taking some
1:57
Speaker 2: customers to court. Have been accused of taking advantage of
2:00
Speaker 2: system error that became known as the infinite money glitch
2:03
Speaker 2: on social media. Users would write a check to themselves,
2:07
Speaker 2: withdraw the money before the check was cleared, and Huila,
2:11
Speaker 2: they had the cash. The era was fixed after multiple
2:13
Speaker 2: videos explaining how to do it and get free money.
2:16
Speaker 2: We're posted online.
2:18
Speaker 3: News and views you trust to start your day. It's
2:21
Speaker 3: early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's
2:25
Speaker 3: furniture beds and a playing store.
2:27
Speaker 2: News Talk Z people are stupid, aren't they? Why would
2:29
Speaker 2: you post it online if you're breaking the law, if
2:32
Speaker 2: you're stealing essentially stealing money from a bank One News.
2:37
Speaker 2: I just heard Neva mention in the news at the
2:40
Speaker 2: top of the hour that one News and TV and
2:42
Speaker 2: Z that they are potentially looking at a subscriber a
2:46
Speaker 2: payment model for TV and Z plus. Would you pay
2:50
Speaker 2: money to access TVNZ plus their streaming service? I would
2:55
Speaker 2: pay something to get the news. Would I pay something
2:59
Speaker 2: to get New Zealan drama? Probably not. I just think
3:04
Speaker 2: others do it better. The Americans do it better. The
3:07
Speaker 2: British do it better, don't they? They just have bigger budgets,
3:10
Speaker 2: better productions. Do I need to hear it all done?
3:13
Speaker 2: And in a Keywi accent? Personally, it's not for me.
3:16
Speaker 2: I'd love to know what you think, though. Nine two
3:18
Speaker 2: nine two is the number to text this morning. It
3:20
Speaker 2: has just gone nine minutes after five. These numbers on
3:24
Speaker 2: truancy are truly shocking. Well are they shocking at this point?
3:29
Speaker 2: I mean, you know we've been hearing about this for
3:31
Speaker 2: a long time now. One in ten students, this is
3:34
Speaker 2: ten percent. We're chronically absent in term two of twenty
3:37
Speaker 2: twenty four. Now that rate has doubled. Chronically absent students
3:43
Speaker 2: doubled in secondary schools and nearly trebled in primary schools
3:48
Speaker 2: since twenty fifteen. That's not good. They are unlikely these
3:52
Speaker 2: students to achieve NCAA, to have high they will have
3:55
Speaker 2: higher rates of offending and they are more likely to
3:58
Speaker 2: be victims of crime as well. The cost, this is
4:01
Speaker 2: the interesting part. By the age of twenty they cost
4:05
Speaker 2: the government almost three times as much as students who
4:09
Speaker 2: do go to school regularly. So they are a burden
4:13
Speaker 2: for all of us. And this is why David Seymour
4:17
Speaker 2: is so up in arms about the absenteeism and the truancy, etc.
4:21
Speaker 2: So we're going to talk about that with someone who
4:24
Speaker 2: is whose job it is to go out and find
4:26
Speaker 2: these young people and get them back into school. We're
4:28
Speaker 2: going to do that right after the break. It's just
4:30
Speaker 2: gone ten minutes after five bread Rich. Lots more to
4:35
Speaker 2: talk about this morning, too, including weapons. You know, we've
4:38
Speaker 2: got a war in the Middle East, we've got a
4:40
Speaker 2: war in Europe, and the potential for conflict in the Pacific,
4:45
Speaker 2: and the Wall Street Journal has a very interesting piece
4:46
Speaker 2: out this morning on what that means for the United
4:49
Speaker 2: States stockpile of weapons should we need them, and we
4:54
Speaker 2: would be the ones that need them down here in
4:56
Speaker 2: the Pacific, wouldn't we. So we'll look at that in
4:58
Speaker 2: the next half an hour as well. You're on news Talk,
5:00
Speaker 2: there'd be Wednesday morning a s.
5:05
Speaker 3: A through the Wind, the news you need this morning
5:09
Speaker 3: and the in depth analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge
5:13
Speaker 3: and Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store.
5:16
Speaker 2: News Talk said, be welcome back thirteen after five year
5:19
Speaker 2: on news Talk said be Donald Trump's just given an
5:22
Speaker 2: address at Mara Lago, his fancy estate in Florida. Have
5:26
Speaker 2: a listened.
5:27
Speaker 6: In less than four years, Kamala Harris has obliterated our borders,
5:33
Speaker 6: obliterated We've never had a situation like this, decimated the
5:39
Speaker 6: middle class, and runaway inflation has caused problems the likes
5:44
Speaker 6: of which we never thought possible.
5:47
Speaker 2: What he's done has got up on stage some voters,
5:51
Speaker 2: probably Republicans you would imagine, but got them up on
5:53
Speaker 2: stage to tell everybody how badly they've been stung and
5:56
Speaker 2: hurt by Biden harris economic policy over the past four years.
6:02
Speaker 2: It is fourteen after five, Ryan Bridge. Chronic absence in
6:05
Speaker 2: our schools has doubled over the past decade. The Education
6:09
Speaker 2: Review Office says we're at crisis point as one in
6:12
Speaker 2: ten students missed thirty percent or more of Term two
6:15
Speaker 2: this year. It found the cost of tax payers as
6:18
Speaker 2: massive as I mentioned earlier. When a chronically absent student
6:21
Speaker 2: reaches age twenty five, on average, they will cost the
6:23
Speaker 2: government three times as much as someone who regularly attends school.
6:28
Speaker 2: Adam de Cork is the Tupurrangi Attendance Service practice lead.
6:33
Speaker 2: He joins us this morning.
6:34
Speaker 7: Good morning, Hey, good morning Ryan, Thanks for having.
6:37
Speaker 2: Me, Thanks for being with me. Adam, tell me what
6:39
Speaker 2: your job is. Do you go out and find students
6:41
Speaker 2: who are absent?
6:43
Speaker 7: Sure? So I co lead to GUANA Attendance Service with
6:46
Speaker 7: market A. Hanson James, and we have a team of
6:48
Speaker 7: seven point four staff that are responsible for two hundred
6:52
Speaker 7: and fifty schools across Canterbury and our job is to
6:56
Speaker 7: go out and not necessarily find We get allocated cases
7:01
Speaker 7: through a Ministry of Education website called ASA that's a database.
7:05
Speaker 7: But a lot of the times, as the report mentions,
7:07
Speaker 7: we cannot find those students and that is a huge
7:10
Speaker 7: amount of time that is lost with our staff. And
7:13
Speaker 7: so that's one of the issues that report highlights.
7:15
Speaker 2: So you got how can you not find them? Do
7:17
Speaker 2: they not have an address or is the address wrong?
7:21
Speaker 7: That is frequently the case, and is the report mentioned
7:25
Speaker 7: it takes a lot of collaboration with other agencies to
7:27
Speaker 7: find those students, and that for us is it's definitely
7:33
Speaker 7: not a waste of time because those kids need to
7:34
Speaker 7: support the most, but we just need systems that are
7:37
Speaker 7: a bit more efficient to make our job easier to
7:40
Speaker 7: do and to find those students faster.
7:41
Speaker 2: When you do find them, what are they doing?
7:45
Speaker 7: So if you look at what we're dealing with a
7:47
Speaker 7: cross cases, we're dealing with a lot of intergenerational trauma, addiction,
7:52
Speaker 7: mental health, and the effects of colonization, and so there
7:55
Speaker 7: is just a different mindset of what's important in regards
7:58
Speaker 7: to education and for requently in that space that's called
8:01
Speaker 7: the non enrolled students space, those kids just haven't been
8:05
Speaker 7: engaged with education for quite some time, and so our
8:08
Speaker 7: goal is to kind of get the family back on
8:10
Speaker 7: board and give them some options of education. And what
8:13
Speaker 7: that means for each family.
8:14
Speaker 2: Is very different. So are they you turn up when
8:17
Speaker 2: you do find them, they're at a house somewhere. Are
8:20
Speaker 2: they stoned or high or what? Are they just sitting around?
8:25
Speaker 2: Are they working?
8:28
Speaker 7: No, that's that's kind of that stereotypical view of what
8:31
Speaker 7: those folks are are in And that's not always the case.
8:33
Speaker 7: A lot of the times, like I mentioned before, we're
8:36
Speaker 7: dealing with families that it intergenerational trauma and there's a
8:39
Speaker 7: lot of things going on in their lives in the background,
8:42
Speaker 7: and education is just not a top priority. So you know,
8:45
Speaker 7: we always go in with benefit of the doubts and
8:47
Speaker 7: very rarely is it just a lazy family who doesn't
8:50
Speaker 7: want to go to school.
8:51
Speaker 2: Very rarely that case, I totally understand that, But I'm
8:54
Speaker 2: just curious, what are they doing if not school?
8:58
Speaker 7: That's that's a great question. And a lot of the
9:00
Speaker 7: times nothing. A lot of the times it's very just
9:03
Speaker 7: based around playing video games and hanging out at home, right,
9:05
Speaker 7: And that's a real loss for that child because, as
9:08
Speaker 7: you mentioned before, a kid who's not at school by
9:11
Speaker 7: the time their twenty is costing three times the amount
9:13
Speaker 7: for the government as opposed to a kid who is
9:15
Speaker 7: going to school and so if you look at developmentally
9:18
Speaker 7: as well, that's just a massive loss for that child
9:20
Speaker 7: in the potential future.
9:21
Speaker 2: Oh, it's terrible, terrible for everybody involved, including all of us.
9:25
Speaker 2: What absolutely what is the you know, you said, there's
9:29
Speaker 2: something you can do to make your systems more efficient
9:31
Speaker 2: once you know at finding them. What's your success rate
9:34
Speaker 2: like at getting those kids, those chronic ones actually back
9:37
Speaker 2: into school.
9:39
Speaker 7: It varies widely across the country. Here in Canterbury, when
9:43
Speaker 7: we are able to make engagement with a school in
9:46
Speaker 7: a student in that non enrolled space, we do have
9:49
Speaker 7: a pretty high success rate. But the report also highlights
9:51
Speaker 7: that piece that a kid who engages with our service
9:55
Speaker 7: usually will go back to school those first couple of months,
9:57
Speaker 7: but over time we'll fall back off right and for us,
10:00
Speaker 7: us that's the huge loss is a lack of resources
10:03
Speaker 7: and funding. As I mentioned prior, we only have seven
10:06
Speaker 7: point four fte across two hundred and fifty schools and
10:09
Speaker 7: so we're massively underfunded and for us, a real simple
10:12
Speaker 7: fix would be to have more funding, and that's what
10:14
Speaker 7: the report recommends.
10:15
Speaker 2: It's quite embalance to the bottom of the cliff, though,
10:16
Speaker 2: isn't it, Because as you said, once once the disengagement
10:21
Speaker 2: has begun, it's very hard to get it back on track.
10:24
Speaker 2: I mean you almost need to have all of that
10:26
Speaker 2: funding going at five year olds, you know, because.
10:30
Speaker 7: That is absolutely that is part of our trias processes
10:34
Speaker 7: working with a younger age group. But you know, for us,
10:37
Speaker 7: if we did have more funding and we did have
10:39
Speaker 7: more case managers working on those cases, we could receive
10:42
Speaker 7: them more quickly. And the report highlights that as well,
10:45
Speaker 7: that cases are not seen to in a timely manner,
10:47
Speaker 7: and that's purely because of case load. We for example,
10:50
Speaker 7: have a wait list of hundreds and so if we
10:53
Speaker 7: had more staff we could definitely make that happen. But
10:55
Speaker 7: for us, it's a real loss and we definitely want
10:57
Speaker 7: to be there for those families that want our support.
11:01
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for your time this morning, Adam
11:03
Speaker 2: to Cork with us. He is the to put on
11:04
Speaker 2: your attendance service practice lead. As he said, they have
11:08
Speaker 2: a lot of trouble finding these chronically truant kids, but
11:11
Speaker 2: then also the success rate of keeping them in school
11:14
Speaker 2: long term is not great either. Nineteen after five nine
11:18
Speaker 2: two nine two is the numbers text. If you have
11:19
Speaker 2: a view on this, I can see many of you
11:21
Speaker 2: do already. We'll get to those next.
11:23
Speaker 3: The first word on the News of the Day Early
11:26
Speaker 3: edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's furniture
11:30
Speaker 3: beds and a play at store News Talk City.
11:32
Speaker 2: Good Morning New Zealand twenty one after five lots of
11:35
Speaker 2: you have views on truancy. Ryan is a recently retired
11:38
Speaker 2: teacher of fifty three years. Wow, that's an innings. I
11:41
Speaker 2: am horrified at the number of school aged children in
11:44
Speaker 2: North City Plaza and Pottydoa during the school day. Where
11:47
Speaker 2: are the truancy officers. Surely the parents of these children
11:51
Speaker 2: should be targeted to justify their children's absence from school.
11:54
Speaker 2: Mauls are a great place to start, says Murray in Portidoa. Murray,
11:58
Speaker 2: thanks for your message this morning. It's twenty two. After
12:01
Speaker 2: as rare as students in class, potentially mail boxes and
12:06
Speaker 2: post offices, The Ministry for Business, Innovation and Employment is
12:09
Speaker 2: proposing New Zealand post mail deliveries be cut to twice
12:13
Speaker 2: a week. This is in towns and cities, rural areas
12:16
Speaker 2: from five times weekly down to three and reducing the
12:19
Speaker 2: minimum number of postal shops from eight hundred and eighty
12:22
Speaker 2: to five hundred. It says people are sending eight hundred
12:25
Speaker 2: and thirteen million fewer male items than they were twenty
12:28
Speaker 2: years ago. Mariy Fitzpatrick is with Rural Women New Zealand.
12:31
Speaker 2: She's the chief executive. She's with us Live this morning.
12:34
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning Roe, Marie. Nice to have you
12:37
Speaker 2: on the show. You're obviously not on board with this.
12:41
Speaker 8: That's a fair assessment. We're pretty still at the depth
12:44
Speaker 8: of these cuts and it's really disappointing that New Zealand
12:48
Speaker 8: Posts abandoning its quality of service and putting commercial violuity
12:51
Speaker 8: ahead at the needs of rural New Zealanders.
12:53
Speaker 2: What is so crucial for rural kiwis that you need
12:57
Speaker 2: five times a week instead of three.
13:00
Speaker 8: Well, if it starters, there's an assumption that we do
13:03
Speaker 8: everything online, and for you and I who cite, that's
13:06
Speaker 8: probably true. But in rural communities, not everybody has access
13:10
Speaker 8: to reliable, steady internet, or that internet can be extortionately
13:14
Speaker 8: expensive if you have to result the satellite or other.
13:17
Speaker 9: Things like that.
13:18
Speaker 8: So for some more vulnerable rural communities that really really
13:22
Speaker 8: has a significant impact. Dropping from five days to two.
13:25
Speaker 8: New Zealand Posts recently dropped from six days to five
13:28
Speaker 8: in rural communities and that has already had a profound
13:30
Speaker 8: impact on those communities.
13:32
Speaker 2: What impact has it had? What does it meant to people?
13:36
Speaker 8: Well starters, people get more than just their post. I
13:39
Speaker 8: think this consultation document focuses on male specifically and excludes
13:46
Speaker 8: career parcels and things like that that New Zealand Post
13:49
Speaker 8: delivers through its Career Post network. If you live rurally,
13:52
Speaker 8: that happens in the same van, so it's not like
13:55
Speaker 8: the Post is delivering my mail here in Wellington and
13:58
Speaker 8: then I get my career packages every day, regardless if
14:01
Speaker 8: your career packages contain your insulin or important medication or
14:04
Speaker 8: important medication for your animals. If you're on a farm,
14:08
Speaker 8: for example, having that cut to three days a week
14:11
Speaker 8: can be really significant.
14:13
Speaker 2: Wouldn't you just order more earlier?
14:17
Speaker 8: Probably if you was looking about five days to sit
14:21
Speaker 8: six days to five, but you know five days down
14:24
Speaker 8: to three, and you know the detail, and that's not
14:27
Speaker 8: necessarily proposing to be alternative days. It could be consecutive
14:32
Speaker 8: days and then nothing for a week.
14:33
Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, I have sympathy for you because and for
14:37
Speaker 2: rural people, because my family, some of my family lives,
14:40
Speaker 2: really and they chew my ear off about this. But
14:44
Speaker 2: I just think if it's going to be that as
14:46
Speaker 2: expensive as they say it is to maintain these services,
14:48
Speaker 2: and it's kind of a no brainer, I don't know,
14:51
Speaker 2: well it is.
14:52
Speaker 8: And this is a state owned enterprise, so the State
14:55
Speaker 8: Owned Enterprises Act, so this proposal is consulting on the
14:58
Speaker 8: deed of understanding. But the state owned Enterprises that has
15:01
Speaker 8: a number of principles. One is that they need to
15:03
Speaker 8: be commercially viable, correct, But there are other parts of
15:06
Speaker 8: those principles which are ensure that these date don't enterprises
15:10
Speaker 8: exhibit a sense of social responsibility and have a regard
15:13
Speaker 8: to the interests of the community in which it's creating.
15:16
Speaker 8: And we just want the government to consider the needs
15:19
Speaker 8: of rural communities as well as the commercial viability of
15:23
Speaker 8: this organization and we think there's a way to balance
15:25
Speaker 8: that better than this proprisal does.
15:27
Speaker 2: Marie, thank you very much for your call. I can
15:29
Speaker 2: see we're getting lots of feedback on this. Funne already.
15:31
Speaker 2: Maury Fitzpatrick the Royal Women, Sorry, Rural Women, New Zealand
15:35
Speaker 2: Chief Executive twenty six after five News Talks VB the early.
15:39
Speaker 3: Edition full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News.
15:43
Speaker 2: Talks AB, News TALKSBB. It is twenty eight minutes after five.
15:47
Speaker 2: Would you happily return to a level for lockdown tomorrow?
15:50
Speaker 2: Would you happily keep your kids home from school and
15:53
Speaker 2: wear a mask if the government told you? I wouldn't
15:56
Speaker 2: be leaving to repeat our COVID experiment quickly, and neither
15:59
Speaker 2: would most Australians. It turns out, the year long COVID
16:02
Speaker 2: inquiry released yesterday found that, unsurprisingly quote, many of the
16:06
Speaker 2: measures taken during COVID nineteen are unlikely to be accepted
16:10
Speaker 2: by the population. Again, just thirty percent of ossies thought
16:13
Speaker 2: the government did the right thing at the height of
16:15
Speaker 2: the pandemic. And I expect that our COVID inquiries will
16:20
Speaker 2: produce similar survey results. If we're given the chance to answer,
16:23
Speaker 2: we lock people down with no end in sight. On
16:25
Speaker 2: the advice of experts. Yes, they offered valid health advice,
16:29
Speaker 2: but that advice was too often taken as gospel and
16:32
Speaker 2: swallowed hootline and sinker to hell with the havoc. It
16:36
Speaker 2: wreacked on it on most of us, who sort of
16:39
Speaker 2: blindly and obediently carried out their wishes. Think inflation, asset
16:43
Speaker 2: price booms, wealth gaps, social isolation, social disunity, student under achievement.
16:49
Speaker 2: We're talking about absenteasm this morning, youth anxiety, trust in
16:54
Speaker 2: the media, trust in vaccines, I mean, you name it.
16:58
Speaker 2: The question now is really one of trust. Will you
17:01
Speaker 2: trust the same experts and politicians giving the same advice
17:05
Speaker 2: and making the same decisions should another virus attack? It
17:09
Speaker 2: seems the Aussies have emphatically answered no, and I suspect
17:14
Speaker 2: most kiwis will do the same, Ryan Bridge, twenty nine
17:19
Speaker 2: Up to five Lots more to come, including the new
17:22
Speaker 2: rules the government's introducing. We're going to talk to a
17:25
Speaker 2: plumber about whether it will save you time and money
17:28
Speaker 2: on your next build.
17:31
Speaker 3: Get ahead of the headlines, Ryan Bridge, You for twenty
17:35
Speaker 3: twenty four on early edition with Smith City, New Zealand's
17:39

Speaker 2: around the country to check and plus Gavin Gray and
17:59
Speaker 2: the UK Greg Master, sorry, Greg Wallace is the master
18:02
Speaker 2: Plumber's chief executive. He will tell us whether we will
18:05
Speaker 2: save any money anytime on the government's proposed changes to consenting.
18:11
Speaker 2: Will it actually make things cheaper and easier for us
18:14
Speaker 2: if we're getting reno's done in the bathroom, etc. We'll
18:16
Speaker 2: ask them shortly, right now, loads of your feedback, so
18:19
Speaker 2: much feedback on COVID, so much feedback on TV and
18:22
Speaker 2: Z plus potentially charging for the service. But by far
18:26
Speaker 2: and away, the biggest issue for you this morning is
18:30
Speaker 2: the rural delivery and the prospect of in z Post
18:34
Speaker 2: cutting back on deliveries and also Post officers. Right, let's
18:39
Speaker 2: get to some of it now, Ryan, we live rually
18:41
Speaker 2: but only two kilometers out of town. Aramex have figured
18:45
Speaker 2: out that we are close enough to be included as
18:47
Speaker 2: urban when they deliver, so we always use them where possible,
18:50
Speaker 2: says Tony. Tony, that's lucky for you, Ryan. Three days
18:53
Speaker 2: a week is fine for Posts. I never understand why
18:56
Speaker 2: they make post his work on a Saturday. They only
18:59
Speaker 2: deliver bills and the crap that I don't want and
19:01
Speaker 2: it can wait till Monday. Ryan, I've been doing a
19:05
Speaker 2: rural delivery for sixty years. Wow. We had a teacher
19:10
Speaker 2: fifty three years deep. A couple of texts back. Now
19:13
Speaker 2: we've got a rural deliver A rural delivery sixty years
19:17
Speaker 2: in the job. It was three days a week when
19:19
Speaker 2: I started, says Steve. Hmm, so maybe we've just got
19:23
Speaker 2: gotten used to the increased frequency. Ryan. I like to
19:27
Speaker 2: send all of my grandkids' birthday cards, but by normal
19:31
Speaker 2: mail it takes weeks, so I have to send it
19:33
Speaker 2: by overnight careers so they get there in time. Yeah.
19:37
Speaker 2: Do you know what I do think though? When I
19:39
Speaker 2: see that text and thank you for the message. It's
19:41
Speaker 2: lovely to hear from you, But I do think if
19:43
Speaker 2: you can send a text message to me this morning
19:48
Speaker 2: from your rural address, do you really need mail five
19:51
Speaker 2: times a week? Twenty two to six, Brian Bridge, We're
19:56
Speaker 2: going to our reporters now. Calum is in Dunedan. Callum,
19:58
Speaker 2: good morning. A hot new ticket item is heading Dunedin streets.
20:04
Speaker 10: Your morning, Ryan. The city's edition of Monopoly officially launches
20:07
Speaker 10: this morning. Dunedin's Monopoly board includes iconic sites like the University,
20:12
Speaker 10: the world's steepest streets on their Baldwyn Street, also Castle
20:16
Speaker 10: Street and the Octagon. The two premiere Dark Blue properties
20:19
Speaker 10: have been assigned to larn At Castle and the Dannedan
20:22
Speaker 10: Railway Station. A winning Moves Monopoly manager Dale Hacketts told
20:25
Speaker 10: us they received hundreds of suggestions from locals with ideas
20:29
Speaker 10: of what places should feature on the Dunedin board, so
20:32
Speaker 10: he says, a lot of work's gone in to ensure
20:34
Speaker 10: that it truly honors Dunedin.
20:35
Speaker 2: There you go.
20:36
Speaker 10: How's your weather mainly fine, few spots of afternoon rain
20:40
Speaker 10: at eighteen today brilliant.
20:41
Speaker 2: Thank you Clears and chrishus this morning as she always
20:44
Speaker 2: is clear. Good morning to you.
20:45
Speaker 11: Good morning.
20:46
Speaker 2: A new studies highlighting the mental health burden of the
20:49
Speaker 2: Mosk attacks.
20:51
Speaker 11: Yeah, this study is just out this morning, Ryan, It's
20:53
Speaker 11: from Otago University researchers. They followed almost one hundred and
20:57
Speaker 11: ninety of the two hundred and fifty survivors as well
21:00
Speaker 11: as bereaved family members for the first three years following
21:04
Speaker 11: the March fifteen attack. Now they found that more than
21:06
Speaker 11: sixty percent of people had developed PTSD, anxiety, or major
21:10
Speaker 11: depressive disorders, and in some instance it's a combination of
21:13
Speaker 11: all three. Lead author doctor Rakaiah Suleiman Hills says a.
21:17
Speaker 12: Huge figure was a surprise.
21:19
Speaker 9: She says.
21:20
Speaker 11: Three quarters of those people were also diagnosed, as I said,
21:23
Speaker 11: with a combination of multiple mental health issues. So this
21:26
Speaker 11: is the first time we've seen the evidence of the impact.
21:29
Speaker 2: I guess all right, how's your weather?
21:31
Speaker 11: Mostly cloudy with some rain clearing early this morning to
21:34
Speaker 11: find southwesterly's turning north easterly and a high.
21:37
Speaker 2: Of sixteen clear. Thank you, Max. You had a long
21:40
Speaker 2: week here, a long long weekend, but you're back now.
21:43
Speaker 2: What have you been looking into? The Virgin Mary? Max.
21:49
Speaker 2: We don't seem to have Max just yet. We'll get
21:51
Speaker 2: to Max in a second. Neva is an orphan with us. Neva,
21:53
Speaker 2: good morning.
21:54
Speaker 12: I was wasted with hanging on every word thinking.
21:57
Speaker 2: What the Virgin Mary. Hey, I've got a letter for
22:00
Speaker 2: us this morning, Yes, a Lissaday.
22:02
Speaker 12: Is it a fan letter or is it one of those.
22:05
Speaker 2: Well we could call it a bit of both. This
22:07
Speaker 2: is from water Care. Yesterday you mentioned the water and
22:11
Speaker 2: all kind. Remember they were saving seven million liters a
22:13
Speaker 2: day pipes and we were musing about.
22:18
Speaker 11: We were amused.
22:19
Speaker 2: They were amusing about whether whether having shorter showers would
22:24
Speaker 2: save as much water or not. Now, water Care wrote
22:26
Speaker 2: to me and they said I was listening to you
22:28
Speaker 2: and neither this morning. Apparently the average shower time in
22:31
Speaker 2: New Zealand is about eight minutes if one yeah, I
22:35
Speaker 2: know it's quicker. If one point seven million Aucklanders cut
22:38
Speaker 2: four minutes off their daily shower us saving forty eight
22:41
Speaker 2: liters each, together we would save eighty million liters per day. Wow,
22:46
Speaker 2: way more than the seven million they save from pipes.
22:49
Speaker 2: So anyway, there you go.
22:49
Speaker 4: So do you go?
22:50
Speaker 12: So that means mind you We've talked about this before
22:53
Speaker 12: where I think I have more showers a day than
22:55
Speaker 12: you because I have like three and you have two
22:58
Speaker 12: a day.
22:58
Speaker 2: You do look very clean. I've rowed up all standards.
23:02
Speaker 12: At four am, I think I'm the only person who
23:04
Speaker 12: has a shower here from the early team O Hosking.
23:07
Speaker 12: Does you know getting up at three am or in
23:11
Speaker 12: the morning. Yeah, you don't cher the morning.
23:13
Speaker 2: K Road they need actually a shower for K Road.
23:16
Speaker 2: We've lost Max by the way, so tell us about
23:18
Speaker 2: K Road.
23:19
Speaker 7: Yeah.
23:19
Speaker 12: So we've gone from showers to poos and wheeze on
23:21
Speaker 12: K road. Dung a happy road in Auckland. So businesses,
23:24
Speaker 12: I really feel for the businesses here. They're fed up
23:27
Speaker 12: with the lack of public toilets. This is on that
23:29
Speaker 12: iconic k Road street because some of them, you know,
23:32
Speaker 12: they after the weekends and that the business owners they've
23:35
Speaker 12: got to turn up, they turn up to their places
23:37
Speaker 12: in the morning and they've got to clean up the
23:38
Speaker 12: human waste outside their shopfronts every morning exactly. I know,
23:43
Speaker 12: I hope people aren't having their breakfast. So there used
23:45
Speaker 12: to be that public toilet just off Bereford Square, you know,
23:48
Speaker 12: but then that was removed because of the construction of
23:51
Speaker 12: the City Rail Link, So that's part of the problem.
23:54
Speaker 12: They didn't have public lose there. They've taken it away
23:56
Speaker 12: from the Corl Link and now you know, business owners
24:00
Speaker 12: had to do that and they go, we need they
24:01
Speaker 12: need a public toilet, they need something.
24:02
Speaker 2: It's pretty bad down there. Have you Have you been
24:05
Speaker 2: to Caro lately? Honestly that the people there's some people
24:08
Speaker 2: there that probably.
24:09
Speaker 12: Need a good wash, don't need like a twenty minute.
24:12
Speaker 2: Showers throwing it at you.
24:14
Speaker 12: To be honest, I'm going to say something quickly. We've
24:19
Speaker 12: just been having a little wee meeting in the newsroom
24:20
Speaker 12: and we thought we should do a week dress up
24:22
Speaker 12: because you know for Halloween tomorrow.
24:24
Speaker 2: Oh right, do you think that's a good idea?
24:26
Speaker 12: You're breaking treats.
24:27
Speaker 2: Good weather today in Auckland.
24:29
Speaker 12: A few showers becoming widespread this morning, possible possible thunderstorms Inhale.
24:33
Speaker 8: Can you believe it?
24:34
Speaker 2: This morning? Seventeen's a high, seventeen away from six. Thank you, Neva.
24:37
Speaker 3: You're on News talk s HEADB International correspondence with Ends
24:41
Speaker 3: and Eye Insurance, Peace of mind for New Zealand business.
24:44
Speaker 2: You're on News Talks B. I'm Ryan Bridget. It's quarter
24:47
Speaker 2: to sex and we've got breaking news out of the UK.
24:49
Speaker 2: Gavin Gray is with us this morning. Gavin, an update
24:52
Speaker 2: on the teenager accused of murdering three young girls in Southport.
24:56
Speaker 2: What have you learned?
24:58
Speaker 13: Well, we now know that the detectives who were investigating
25:02
Speaker 13: those stabbings on the twenty ninth of July in northwest
25:04
Speaker 13: England also searched his property and there they are reporting
25:09
Speaker 13: that they discovered ricin, which is a type of chemical weapon,
25:14
Speaker 13: but also basically evidence documents that the person they're saying
25:20
Speaker 13: was committing to or preparing an act of terrorism. It
25:24
Speaker 13: was said that he had a military study of an
25:26
Speaker 13: al Qaeda training manual and was in possession of that.
25:31
Speaker 13: So the eighteen year old has now likely to appear
25:35
Speaker 13: in court tomorrow. This news is coming in that'll be
25:38
Speaker 13: in a London court. Counter Terrorism police have not declared
25:42
Speaker 13: the matter a terrorist incident. That's more a technicality than
25:45
Speaker 13: anything else. This discovery though quite a shock. You'll remember
25:49
Speaker 13: that Axel Rudo Bakana was scheduled to appear in court
25:53
Speaker 13: over the stabbings of the three young girls aged six,
25:57
Speaker 13: seven and nine who were at to Taylor swifteen dance class.
26:01
Speaker 2: It was a very very sad story. Indeed, this story
26:04
Speaker 2: is a quite incredible We know about the Russian spy
26:07
Speaker 2: Sergo Scripple and his daughter Julia who are poisoned with
26:10
Speaker 2: navachok in the UK, but we've just learned through an
26:12
Speaker 2: inquiry about another victim.
26:16
Speaker 13: Yeah. Now we do know somebody died of this having
26:20
Speaker 13: been exposed to novichok because it was stored in a
26:22
Speaker 13: perfume bottle and they picked up the perfum bottle thought
26:25
Speaker 13: it was an expensive gift and sadly they died. And
26:29
Speaker 13: we also know from earlier evidence in the inquiry Ran
26:33
Speaker 13: that there was enough navichok in that bottle to kill
26:35
Speaker 13: thousands of people were Now our materializes that a boy came
26:40
Speaker 13: into contact with Sergei Scrippel, the form of Russian spy,
26:44
Speaker 13: the target of the Novi Chok attack, on the day
26:47
Speaker 13: he and his daughter were poisoned and believed or not,
26:50
Speaker 13: the Boilo with two others were basically by the river
26:54
Speaker 13: in Salisbury, by a pond and were helping serge Scrippel
26:58
Speaker 13: feed the ducks. And they did exchange a bit of
27:01
Speaker 13: bread build a look of CCTV to feed the ducks.
27:04
Speaker 13: Now you might think, what big deal, but of course
27:05
Speaker 13: Novichok is Holly bison Us and this idea that you know,
27:10
Speaker 13: this boy was in contact with circa script Bell. The
27:14
Speaker 13: police did trace him as part of the investigation, and
27:17
Speaker 13: all the boy had was just he was mildly ill
27:20
Speaker 13: for a day or two after the encounter. I mean
27:22
Speaker 13: extraordinarily lucky, bearing in mind the effect that Novichok had
27:26
Speaker 13: on the others, and I'm afraid really does feed into
27:29
Speaker 13: what the Britons are saying here, which Russia is denying,
27:32
Speaker 13: which is effectively Russia callously tried to carry out the
27:35
Speaker 13: killing a one person book foot at risk many many
27:39
Speaker 13: thousands of others.
27:40
Speaker 2: Gevin, thank you for those updates this morning. Devin Gray,
27:42
Speaker 2: are you can Europe correspondent, It's twelve to six Brian Bridge.
27:47
Speaker 2: The government's planning to hand tradees the power to consend
27:50
Speaker 2: basic housing projects. Businesses with a proven track record, such
27:55
Speaker 2: as those building hundreds of near identical homes each year,
27:58
Speaker 2: will be able to exist extremely consent process. Plumbers and
28:02
Speaker 2: drain layers will also be able to certify their own
28:04
Speaker 2: low and general risk work without needing the Council concentraal
28:07
Speaker 2: inspection or anything like that, just like electricians and gas
28:10
Speaker 2: fitters who can already self certify at the moment. Greg
28:12
Speaker 2: Wallace is the Master Plumber's chief executive. He's with us
28:16
Speaker 2: live this morning. Greg, Good morning, welcome to the show.
28:19
Speaker 9: Good morning, Ryan, great to be on, Thanks for being
28:21
Speaker 9: with me.
28:22
Speaker 2: What types of jobs are we talking about here?
28:26
Speaker 9: Look, it's low risk. It's normally your DJ, your Jenny
28:29
Speaker 9: in or your single level new house build. Awesome minor
28:36
Speaker 9: renovations we're talking about, Ryan, were.
28:38
Speaker 2: Like, you get if you're putting new toilet, shower and etc.
28:42
Speaker 2: Does that need to be go through hoops at the moment?
28:46
Speaker 9: Well, if a pumber comes into your house, Ryan, and
28:48
Speaker 9: just moves the bathroom fixes around existing bathroom Schedule one.
28:53
Speaker 9: You need no consent for that, so you can move
28:56
Speaker 9: the toilet, shower base and all around in different positions
29:00
Speaker 9: the Schedule one the Building Act allows you to do that.
29:03
Speaker 9: If you add one foot onto your bathroom at home,
29:07
Speaker 9: you then have to go through a consent and get
29:09
Speaker 9: about four inspections, which really does add to the cost
29:12
Speaker 9: and time for construction. So the whole concept about this
29:16
Speaker 9: is getting more productivity in the construction industry and lowering
29:21
Speaker 9: costs for consumers.
29:22
Speaker 2: So those types of renods would be included here if
29:25
Speaker 2: you were moving a bathroom or you were making a
29:27
Speaker 2: bathroom bigger look.
29:30
Speaker 9: Extensions, when you're adding an on seite to bathroom, we
29:33
Speaker 9: hope they will be included. Those are the details that
29:35
Speaker 9: the government still has to come through with their consultation,
29:39
Speaker 9: but we deem that as low risk, absolutely, And it's
29:43
Speaker 9: a bit like the granny flat, Ryan, where there's sixty
29:46
Speaker 9: square meters and obviously they have a bathroom in a
29:49
Speaker 9: kitchen and they're going to be non consented and non
29:51
Speaker 9: inspected as well.
29:53
Speaker 2: True, so it's kind of apples and apples there isn't it.
29:56
Speaker 2: How much time and or money do you think this
29:59
Speaker 2: could save us?
30:01
Speaker 9: Well, the significant delays in consenting and inspections, particularly when
30:05
Speaker 9: we had an eight year high of the construction sector.
30:09
Speaker 9: So we're talking. You know, consent from million dollar home
30:13
Speaker 9: can be anything north of ten thousand dollars. But it's
30:16
Speaker 9: really the productivity goings that we'll get. You can rate
30:20
Speaker 9: now in clean Sound between fifteen and twenty days for
30:23
Speaker 9: a pre line inspection and sometimes because there's four inspections,
30:28
Speaker 9: you're getting to high levels of productivity that you're waiting
30:32
Speaker 9: around for a process to happen of red tape that
30:36
Speaker 9: you've got to trust your trades people to be able
30:38
Speaker 9: to do it and then back them with good guarantees
30:40
Speaker 9: and insurance programs.
30:42
Speaker 2: How do we separate the good eggs from the bad eggs,
30:44
Speaker 2: the good trades from the bad ones.
30:46
Speaker 9: Yeah, so that's what their creditation program that the Prime
30:49
Speaker 9: Minister and Minister Ping talked about. You'll have to prove
30:52
Speaker 9: your quality. I mean what I would say is guestedting's
30:56
Speaker 9: been self certified for fourteen years now a lot with
31:00
Speaker 9: our friends the electricians, and we just don't have significant
31:04
Speaker 9: issues for that trade. A guest is ninety nine deceived,
31:09
Speaker 9: also a plumber and a dream rayer. So we're hoping
31:13
Speaker 9: that the quality that the guest for the industry has
31:16
Speaker 9: shown New Zealand consumers will flow through to plumbing into Greg.
31:20
Speaker 2: I'm really hopeful that this will speed up the renos
31:23
Speaker 2: I want to do in my house. So I'm very
31:25
Speaker 2: appreciative of you're coming on this morning. Appreciate it, Greg,
31:27
Speaker 2: Thank you, Thanks Ron. Greg Wallace, Master Plumbers, Chief Executive.
31:31
Speaker 2: These changes are as Greg mentioned, They've still got a
31:35
Speaker 2: lot of hoops to get through, but hopefully they will
31:37
Speaker 2: be coming into force next year sometime. It is just
31:40
Speaker 2: gone eight minutes away from six News Talks There be.
31:43
Speaker 3: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition with
31:48
Speaker 3: Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's furniture Beds and
31:51
Speaker 3: a playing store.
31:52
Speaker 2: News Talks said be six to six on News Talk
31:54
Speaker 2: said be China has a new richest person. Not the
31:58
Speaker 2: richest man anymore, it's the richest person. This is the
32:00
Speaker 2: co founder of TikTok. The parent company is Byte Dance.
32:04
Speaker 2: His name is Xiang Yiming and this is according to
32:07
Speaker 2: the Haran Research Institute Rich List. They bring it out
32:10
Speaker 2: every year, he's worth forty nine billion American dollars. That
32:16
Speaker 2: is forty three percent more than he was worth in
32:19
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, which just tells you how big TikTok
32:22
Speaker 2: has become. Interestingly, this is the eighteenth new number one
32:27
Speaker 2: that we've had in China in the last twenty six years.
32:29
Speaker 2: They've had eighteen new richest people in the space of
32:33
Speaker 2: twenty six years. In the United States, they've had just
32:36
Speaker 2: four Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk,
32:39
Speaker 2: which I guess shows you how quickly one how dynamic
32:43
Speaker 2: the economy is there but lots of new companies springing
32:46
Speaker 2: up and bouncing around in value five away from six
32:49
Speaker 2: and Mike is with your next Mike, good morning morning.
32:52
Speaker 2: It's a lot of money, isn't it?
32:53
Speaker 14: Well, it is, but doesn't show you how behind China
32:56
Speaker 14: is because isn't Bezos and Masking?
32:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, hundreds of billions?
33:00
Speaker 14: It's chump change.
33:02
Speaker 2: And what's this business?
33:04
Speaker 14: Jump change? What's the business of this? I didn't know
33:08
Speaker 14: it was going on. So you deliberately go on TikTok
33:11
Speaker 14: and you buy more stuff than you need to bring
33:14
