- 0:42Speaker 1: The agenda.
- 0:43Speaker 2: It is Friday, the sixteenth of August. Almost one hundred
- 0:46Speaker 2: and forty of Australia's Liberal Party candidates have been left
- 0:49Speaker 2: off the New South Wales local election ballot after the
- 0:52Speaker 2: party missed the entry deadline.
- 0:54Speaker 3: If you don't think you've got enough resources, then you
- 0:57Speaker 3: put on more resources, including volunteers. And if still I
- 1:00Speaker 3: think you've got enough to run a centralized process, you
- 1:03Speaker 3: tell the candidates that they need to lodge their nominations themselves.
- 1:06Speaker 2: There was the party leader Mark Speakman to Man Speaking,
- 1:10Speaker 2: the party director says he has being more focused on
- 1:13Speaker 2: the federal election and has blamed the liberal state president
- 1:16Speaker 2: for the era. North Korea is set to reopen for
- 1:19Speaker 2: tourists after an almost five year pause due to the pandemic.
- 1:23Speaker 2: Two China based tour companies have announced the reopening, saying
- 1:26Speaker 2: the city of sammergyon Will on the border with China,
- 1:30Speaker 2: will be open from December. Their plans to majorly upgrade
- 1:34Speaker 2: the city for tourists, including rebuilding the airport and turning
- 1:38Speaker 2: a military ski base into a resort. Back here, the
- 1:43Speaker 2: Grocery Commissioner has laid out new expectations for supermarkets. Pier
- 1:48Speaker 2: van Heerden has written to foodstuffs in Woolworth's requesting they
- 1:51Speaker 2: review and amend their refund policies. He's also calling on
- 1:55Speaker 2: them to prominently promote house shoppers can refund items. Van
- 1:59Speaker 2: he says it'll motivate shoppers to come forward with pricing issues.
- 2:03Speaker 4: Lit to the twenty five billion dollar industry that's very
- 2:07Speaker 4: profitable and only a very small error rate on that
- 2:11Speaker 4: can lead to teams of millions of dollars out of
- 2:14Speaker 4: Kiwi's pockets every year.
- 2:17Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines. Ryan Bridge you for twenty
- 2:21Speaker 1: twenty four on early edition with Smith City, New Zealand
- 2:25Speaker 1: Furniture Beds and a player store news talk.
- 2:27Speaker 2: Zi'd be I'm just listening to that. Am I hearing
- 2:30Speaker 2: this right? He's basically saying he wants a sign at
- 2:34Speaker 2: the checkout telling you how to get a refund. This
- 2:37Speaker 2: is the this is the revolutionary response from our grocery commissioner.
- 2:42Speaker 2: And I tried to find out this morning how much
- 2:44Speaker 2: he's paid, because I thought, if you're coming up with
- 2:46Speaker 2: recommendations like that, how much are we paying? You must
- 2:49Speaker 2: be at least a couple of hundred thousand dollars, I
- 2:51Speaker 2: would think. Anyway, very hard to find that information. There
- 2:56Speaker 2: was an OAA that was done that was publicly released,
- 2:59Speaker 2: and it said that his salary would be set by
- 3:01Speaker 2: the Remuneration Authority. You go to the Remunerational Authority website,
- 3:05Speaker 2: they say check the Public Service Commission website. You go
- 3:07Speaker 2: to the Public Service Commission website. They give you a link,
- 3:11Speaker 2: what is it saying, page not found. So there you go,
- 3:15Speaker 2: no idea what he's paid, but everybody knows if you
- 3:19Speaker 2: want a refund or you've got an issue at the
- 3:22Speaker 2: grocery store, you go to the chief checkout lady who's
- 3:26Speaker 2: standing there. You know, they have that little booth in
- 3:29Speaker 2: the middle of the checkouts. She's always busy. She would
- 3:33Speaker 2: be looking down or he looking down at doing something,
- 3:36Speaker 2: you know, not really wanting to deal with you. But
- 3:38Speaker 2: everybody knows that's where you go if you want a refund.
- 3:40Speaker 2: Come on, it's not rocket science people. Nine after five.
- 3:54Speaker 2: This is developing news this morning. Five people have been
- 3:57Speaker 2: arrested in connection. There's a press conference happening right now.
- 4:01Speaker 2: Five people arrested over the death of Matthew Perry, the
- 4:04Speaker 2: Friends actor. He had ketymine in his system. Remember he
- 4:08Speaker 2: was found in the spa pool. He was taking the
- 4:10Speaker 2: illegal drug keddyming as part of supervised therapy. And get this,
- 4:16Speaker 2: They've arrested two doctors. Apparently he was he paying them
- 4:21Speaker 2: fifty five thousand dollars in cash. This is all being
- 4:25Speaker 2: alleged and right now happening in a press commerce. We'll
- 4:27Speaker 2: have the audio for you shortly fifty five thousand dollars
- 4:31Speaker 2: in cash and they were doctors and they were helping
- 4:35Speaker 2: to supply and medicate him with kettymine. Ten after five,
- 4:39Speaker 2: back with Jeffrey Miller in a.
- 4:40Speaker 1: Second News and Views you trust to start your day.
- 4:48Speaker 1: It's early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New
- 4:52Speaker 1: Zealand's Furniture Beds and a flying store News Talk, zai'd.
- 4:55Speaker 2: Be thirteen after five. Good morning to you. The us
- 4:58Speaker 2: I said promise this, yes today. The retail sales data
- 5:02Speaker 2: was out yesterday, so we had the CPI and that
- 5:06Speaker 2: was good. The Fed could cut rates and overnight we've
- 5:09Speaker 2: had It's the world's biggest economy. That's why we're paying attention.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Retail sales were up one percent last month, which is good,
- 5:16Speaker 2: and it's beating forecasts, which means the risk of recession
- 5:19Speaker 2: is down. Stocks are up. And it's also potentially good
- 5:23Speaker 2: for Kamala Harris because Trump is going to have an
- 5:27Speaker 2: even harder time attacking her on the economy when consumer
- 5:30Speaker 2: confidence is on the rise. I would have thought thirteen
- 5:33Speaker 2: minutes after five on news Talk, se'd.
- 5:35Speaker 1: Be Crayon Bridge.
- 5:37Speaker 2: Right now. Luxon is going well. Not right now, but
- 5:39Speaker 2: later today. Luxan is going to meet with Albanzi in Canberra.
- 5:43Speaker 2: The topics, the usual suspects ORCUS, the refugee deal, the
- 5:47Speaker 2: economy and the five oh ones. We've raised it, and
- 5:50Speaker 2: certainly at the last meeting, and we certainly have raised
- 5:53Speaker 2: it subsequences the change to the ministerial directive that's been
- 5:55Speaker 2: announced here domestically.
- 5:57Speaker 5: I will continue to advocate very strong for it.
- 5:59Speaker 2: Jeffrey Miller is an international geopolitical analysties with us this morning. Jeffrey,
- 6:02Speaker 2: good morning, Good morning Ryan. The Aussies have changed their
- 6:06Speaker 2: mind on the five oh one thing twice already. Do
- 6:09Speaker 2: you reckon Luxon can make it a third?
- 6:13Speaker 6: I don't think so.
- 6:14Speaker 7: I don't think he's going to make much headway with
- 6:16Speaker 7: Anthony Albanzi on this. The government over there has been
- 6:21Speaker 7: under a lot of pressure from the opposition to take
- 6:24Speaker 7: a more hardline stance, and they actually changed their immigration
- 6:27Speaker 7: minister a few weeks ago. So they've now got someone
- 6:30Speaker 7: who's from the right of the party, Tony Burke, who's
- 6:33Speaker 7: the minister over there. And I think he's going to
- 6:35Speaker 7: deport New Zealanders if and when he wants to. And
- 6:39Speaker 7: so I don't think Christoph Luxlin is really going to
- 6:41Speaker 7: make much progress there. And he hinted it that last
- 6:44Speaker 7: night when he spoke to the Lower Institute in Sydney
- 6:47Speaker 7: and the Q and A. He basically said that they
- 6:49Speaker 7: were going to agree to disagree on this issue, but
- 6:52Speaker 7: he would continue to voice New Zealand's displeasure. And I
- 6:55Speaker 7: think that's perhaps all he really can do, and he
- 6:57Speaker 7: can simply hope that while Australia might engage a lot
- 7:00Speaker 7: of tough talk on this issue, they might show a
- 7:03Speaker 7: bit of pragmatism towards New Zealand, given that Christopher Luxon
- 7:06Speaker 7: is really seeking to align himself with Australia quite strongly
- 7:10Speaker 7: on wider foreign policy issues.
- 7:11Speaker 2: Yeah, they've also got an election coming up, right, They're
- 7:14Speaker 2: hardly they're hardly going to bend over to us right
- 7:17Speaker 2: before they've got an election. As you say, just change
- 7:19Speaker 2: the immigration minister. That speech you mentioned at the Low Institute,
- 7:22Speaker 2: he said, this is Luxeon, this big first foreign affairs
- 7:26Speaker 2: outing that we are deliberately deepening our relationship with Five
- 7:30Speaker 2: Eyes partners. Is that a bad thing?
- 7:33Speaker 7: Well, look, it was a very hawkish speech that he
- 7:36Speaker 7: gave last night, and the Q and A it was
- 7:38Speaker 7: also very revealing. He said that he wanted New Zealand
- 7:41Speaker 7: to be a force multiplier for Australia and he called
- 7:44Speaker 7: the independent foreign policy approach that New Zenand has taken
- 7:46Speaker 7: for the last four decades almost he called that a nonsense.
- 7:50Speaker 7: So it was very very strong, he said. He was
- 7:53Speaker 7: very very aligned with Anthony Albanezi. And yes, I mean
- 7:57Speaker 7: it was very clear what the direction of travel is
- 7:59Speaker 7: going to be under Christopher Luxe and I think it
- 8:01Speaker 7: will be music to camp for his ears, music to
- 8:03Speaker 7: answer in the Albanese's ears. But it could put New
- 8:05Speaker 7: Zealand on a collision course with.
- 8:07Speaker 2: China, he said. New Zealand does sometimes perceive themselves as
- 8:12Speaker 2: buffered by splendid isolation, but there is no opting out
- 8:15Speaker 2: from today's strategic realities. The world is getting more difficult
- 8:19Speaker 2: and more complex, particularly so for those smaller states navigating
- 8:23Speaker 2: increasingly stormy seas. New Zealand two must be a participant
- 8:26Speaker 2: and a contributor, not an interested bystander. Does he have
- 8:29Speaker 2: a point?
- 8:32Speaker 7: Look, I think New Zealand should be more involved in
- 8:34Speaker 7: the world. But it's exactly how you do it is
- 8:36Speaker 7: the question. And Christopher Luxem's recipe seems to be to
- 8:40Speaker 7: be taking a much more hawkous stance, to be aligning
- 8:43Speaker 7: itself and to be aligning New Zealand very much with
- 8:47Speaker 7: Five Eyes partners. Like Australia, like the United States, and
- 8:50Speaker 7: that's the line was heard very consistently from Winston Peters,
- 8:53Speaker 7: the Foreign Minister, over the last nine months. But it
- 8:57Speaker 7: will represent quite a sea change for New Zealand's foreigner
- 9:00Speaker 7: to be moving away from the independent foreign policy towards
- 9:03Speaker 7: their becoming a de facto alliance member again in the
- 9:06Speaker 7: Western Alliance. He said that New Zealand's continuing to explore orcers.
- 9:11Speaker 7: It sounds like decisions are being put on hold pending
- 9:14Speaker 7: the outcome of the US elections in November, but it's
- 9:17Speaker 7: very much still in the mix where the New Zealand
- 9:20Speaker 7: joins Ucer's pillar too. We've been told that for for
- 9:23Speaker 7: quite some time, but I think it is coming, some
- 9:25Speaker 7: of these book decisions, and it really will be quite
- 9:28Speaker 7: a change to New Zealand's foreign policy positioning well.
- 9:31Speaker 2: And the way he's talking, I mean, you feel like
- 9:33Speaker 2: you're being bartered up for it, almost, don't you. Jeffrey,
- 9:36Speaker 2: Thank you very much for your time and your analysis
- 9:38Speaker 2: this morning. Jeffrey Miller, international geopolitical analyst luxon meeting with
- 9:43Speaker 2: Albanezi in Canberra today. He was in Sydney yesterday. Great
- 9:47Speaker 2: text from Mitch this is on the Grocery Commissioner saying
- 9:51Speaker 2: that supermarkets should have signs that tell you how to
- 9:54Speaker 2: get a refund. Don't we all know where to go? Hi, Ryan,
- 9:57Speaker 2: I've never had a problem with countdown for any issues,
- 10:00Speaker 2: a replacement and a refund with a smile. Don't get
- 10:03Speaker 2: me started on food stuffs. They just fob you off
- 10:06Speaker 2: like chop liver and say they will change the signage.
- 10:09Speaker 2: They could do with some education, Thanks Mitch. It is
- 10:12Speaker 2: eighteen after five.
- 10:14Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge you for twenty twenty four on early edition
- 10:18Speaker 1: with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store.
- 10:22Speaker 2: News Talk ZIB five twenty on news Talk zaid, be
- 10:25Speaker 2: great to have you listening this morning. Nine two nine two.
- 10:27Speaker 2: The number to text Kim dot com. It will almost
- 10:30Speaker 2: certainly be deported to the US. Goldsmith. This is Justice
- 10:34Speaker 2: Minister Paul Goldsmith has signed his extradition order. We've got
- 10:37Speaker 2: Bill Hodge on this just before six o'clock this morning.
- 10:40Speaker 2: For those who don't know Kim dot com, big German
- 10:42Speaker 2: guy black zip up hoodie. Can't miss him driving a
- 10:46Speaker 2: Bentley based down in Queenstown. Anyway. He's likely to be
- 10:51Speaker 2: extra dieted. But they've been saying that for years and years.
- 10:53Speaker 2: So Bill Hodge will tell us whether it's actually going
- 10:55Speaker 2: to happen. But I looked up so apparently could get
- 10:58Speaker 2: twenty years in jail if he's extradited and found guilty
- 11:02Speaker 2: after his trial in the US. Could get twenty years jail.
- 11:05Speaker 2: Guess how Oldkim dot Com is? Fifty? For some reason,
- 11:08Speaker 2: I thought he was younger than that. Doesn't have many wrinkles,
- 11:12Speaker 2: does he fifty? So fifty plus twenty equals seventy? So
- 11:17Speaker 2: your best years are behind you, aren't they? Twenty one
- 11:22Speaker 2: minutes after five, Ryan Bridge, Right, it's a big game
- 11:26Speaker 2: for the All Blacks tomorrow night as they face Argentina
- 11:28Speaker 2: at Eden Park, a week on from losing thirty eight
- 11:31Speaker 2: thirty to them in Wellington. Coach Scott Robinson has made
- 11:33Speaker 2: some major changes Elliott Smith's news talks. They'd be rugby
- 11:36Speaker 2: commentators with us. Elliott, good morning, Good.
- 11:38Speaker 8: Morning, Ryan.
- 11:40Speaker 2: Who's going to win?
- 11:41Speaker 9: Oh?
- 11:42Speaker 8: Look, I think the All Blacks need to bounce back
- 11:43Speaker 8: and they traditionally have again Sargentina and the two Times
- 11:47Speaker 8: have lost to them previously in twenty twenty and twenty
- 11:50Speaker 8: twenty two. They've come out and put a response out
- 11:53Speaker 8: the following week, won by thirty eight points in twenty
- 11:56Speaker 8: twenty and then by forty seven in twenty twenty two.
- 12:00Speaker 8: Necessarily mean it's going to happen tomorrow night, But you
- 12:02Speaker 8: would hope there was some form of response from the
- 12:05Speaker 8: All Blacks because last week they were ponderous at times
- 12:08Speaker 8: on attack. The defense wasn't up to scratch. So they
- 12:12Speaker 8: really need to improve tomorrow night and deliver some of
- 12:15Speaker 8: those things that have been talking about, both of the
- 12:17Speaker 8: coaching group and the players that have laid out a
- 12:20Speaker 8: platform for at the start of the season that we
- 12:21Speaker 8: probably just haven't seen to this point in timeline.
- 12:24Speaker 2: Yeah, losing is not something that Scott Roberts has done
- 12:29Speaker 2: a lot of in recent years. How's he doing? How's
- 12:31Speaker 2: he you know? I mean, I know it's only only
- 12:33Speaker 2: one game that he's lost, but you know, how's he fearing?
- 12:37Speaker 6: Well?
- 12:37Speaker 8: I think this week has been a bit of reality
- 12:39Speaker 8: check for him in terms of international rugby. Got through
- 12:41Speaker 8: the first three games of a campaign and they look
- 12:44Speaker 8: those two games against England were pretty tricky ones and
- 12:47Speaker 8: they managed to get out on the right side of
- 12:48Speaker 8: the ledger. It was thought maybe Argentina. Those games give
- 12:52Speaker 8: you a chance to build on your platform and start
- 12:55Speaker 8: to develop the game plan that they've been playing. But
- 12:57Speaker 8: actually it was a huge step back last week with
- 12:59Speaker 8: the four. It's not really clicking into gear ponderous stuff
- 13:02Speaker 8: from the back. So look, he's vowed this week that
- 13:05Speaker 8: he's you know, dug over under every rock and tried
- 13:09Speaker 8: to find answers this week to get the game plan going.
- 13:11Speaker 8: But that starts with him at the top. And as
- 13:14Speaker 8: you said, he's made a few changes to the side
- 13:17Speaker 8: for this week, but he has to demand the All
- 13:18Speaker 8: Blacks be better. He said earlier on in the week
- 13:22Speaker 8: that you know whether he's doubt of the dumps and
- 13:24Speaker 8: the players will reflect that as well. So he's tried
- 13:26Speaker 8: to maintain somewhat of a positive attitude walls of trying
- 13:29Speaker 8: to find the answers as to what went wrong last
- 13:32Speaker 8: Saturday and then rebuild the team and get them into
- 13:35Speaker 8: action for tomorrow night and in a style that will
- 13:39Speaker 8: get them across the line and with.
- 13:40Speaker 2: The victory, is it going to rain? I only ask
- 13:43Speaker 2: because I'm going I.
- 13:45Speaker 8: Believe it is right. I look at the forecast and
- 13:47Speaker 8: it's a gests that it's going to rain all day
- 13:48Speaker 8: tomorrow in Auckland, which again we'll post some issues for
- 13:51Speaker 8: the All Blacks. Look, I expect a lot more kicking
- 13:54Speaker 8: from the All Blacks that need to be smarter with
- 13:55Speaker 8: that stuff than they were last week in Wellington. At
- 13:58Speaker 8: times they're kicking looked a lot quite aimless at times,
- 14:02Speaker 8: so they needs to be better. If that foot Argentina
- 14:04Speaker 8: under pressure, but I don't expect it to be a
- 14:06Speaker 8: free flowing game necessary for the All Blacks. And they're
- 14:09Speaker 8: going to have to be a lot tidier with ball
- 14:12Speaker 8: and hands than they were at sky Stadium. And the
- 14:15Speaker 8: conditions were quite still, unusually for Wellington, and the weather
- 14:18Speaker 8: was good. So yeah, that can rain jackets tomorrow evening,
- 14:21Speaker 8: Ryan and hopefully you remain dry.
- 14:24Speaker 2: Thanks Elliot Elliott Smith News Talks. There'd be rugby commentator thankfully.
- 14:27Speaker 2: A friend of mine has invited me to a sort
- 14:30Speaker 2: of a lounge area, so I think I'll be undercover.
- 14:33Speaker 2: But producer Leo, you're out in the rain, aren't you. Yeah? Yeah,
- 14:37Speaker 2: enjoy that. Hey, Kim dot com has tweeted. He says
- 14:41Speaker 2: in one tweet, this is all. This is the full tweet.
- 14:43Speaker 2: I'll read it for you I love New Zealand. I'm
- 14:46Speaker 2: not leaving with a kiss emoji. Second one links an
- 14:51Speaker 2: article about his extradition and he says, Oops, don't worry,
- 14:55Speaker 2: I have a plan. So there you go. Bill Hodg
- 14:57Speaker 2: on that just before six this morning, twenty five after
- 14:59Speaker 2: five the.
- 15:00Speaker 1: Early edition Full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by
- 15:04Speaker 1: News Talks at Me.
- 15:06Speaker 2: There's a reason politicians can't agree on much of anything.
- 15:10Speaker 2: Luxeon's in Australia at the moment. He's on an infrastructure
- 15:13Speaker 2: whistle stop tour. The question why are we so bad?
- 15:16Speaker 2: And they the Aussies, seemingly so much better at doing it.
- 15:20Speaker 2: There are many reasons, like public private partnerships user pays.
- 15:24Speaker 2: In New South Wales, they've used asset sales to fund
- 15:27Speaker 2: this stuff. But it's also crucially bipart as an agreement
- 15:31Speaker 2: on what to build. Luxon says that the NATS and
- 15:34Speaker 2: labor need consensus on what projects will get cash.
- 15:39Speaker 3: The challenge in New Zealander is you get a change
- 15:41Speaker 3: in political cycle or economic cycle and you get on off,
- 15:45Speaker 3: on off, on off, and nothing's happening.
- 15:47Speaker 2: So the construction industry they need to know the pipeline
- 15:50Speaker 2: of work that's in front of them, or it's not
- 15:53Speaker 2: going to be viable. You know, the roads of national significance.
- 15:55Speaker 2: They were on and then they're off, and they're on
- 15:57Speaker 2: and then they're off. And another example this week energy
- 16:01Speaker 2: resources altered on this show called for bipartis an agreement
- 16:05Speaker 2: on oil and gas exploration. Sorry it was actually last week.
- 16:08Speaker 2: I think you said that on Friday, you know, to
- 16:10Speaker 2: help business invest and plan to avoid an energy crisis.
- 16:14Speaker 2: But here's the thing, it's not going to happen in
- 16:16Speaker 2: either case, which sucks because it's us, the voters that
- 16:20Speaker 2: ultimately pay the price in electricity prices or traffic. The reason, well,
- 16:26Speaker 2: our political system is based on the Westminster model, which
- 16:29Speaker 2: is purposely adversarial. We encourage competition. We literally have an
- 16:35Speaker 2: opposition party to oppose the government. It's set up to
- 16:40Speaker 2: fail when it comes to agreement. So I won't behold
- 16:43Speaker 2: of my breath for our parliamentarians to suddenly start singing
- 16:47Speaker 2: from the same song sheet twenty eight after five grayan
- 16:50Speaker 2: Bridge lots more to convince a Macaviney out of the UK.
- 16:53Speaker 2: British supplied tanks US are being used by Ukraine and
- 16:59Speaker 2: their incursion into Russia. So we'll ask what the response
- 17:04Speaker 2: from the Brits is on that. Also, Taylor Swift has
- 17:07Speaker 2: arrived there for her concert, and just before six, Kim
- 17:10Speaker 2: dot Com potentially if he goes, if he's extradited, goes
- 17:15Speaker 2: to jail. Could be seventy And I mentioned earlier that
- 17:18Speaker 2: you get wrinkles when you're fifty. Jody's taken exception to that.
- 17:22Speaker 2: Good morning, Ryan, you don't get wrinkles as soon as
- 17:24Speaker 2: you hit fifty. I'm nearly fifty two and I still
- 17:26Speaker 2: feel young, Jody. There's a difference between feeling young and
- 17:30Speaker 2: looking young. Look I can't see you, so I can't judge.
- 17:36Speaker 2: Twenty on after five, The.
- 17:40Speaker 1: News you Need this Morning and the in depth analysis
- 17:43Speaker 1: Early Edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's
- 17:47Speaker 1: Furniture Beds and a flying store.
- 17:49Speaker 2: News Talk said, be.
- 17:55Speaker 10: Out me, good morning, Welcome to your Friday edition of
- 18:06Speaker 10: Early Edition.
- 18:06Speaker 2: Great to have your company. It is twenty four minutes
- 18:09Speaker 2: away from six o'clock. We're going to get to the
- 18:11Speaker 2: Kim dot Com story. Just before six, also over to
- 18:14Speaker 2: the UK with Vincent mcavinie interested in the British supplying
- 18:19Speaker 2: tanks that have been used to get the Ukrainians into Russia.
- 18:22Speaker 2: What do they think about that? Right now, the big
- 18:27Speaker 2: story of the week here in New Zealand was the
- 18:29Speaker 2: meth lollies. It made headlines around the world, and you've
- 18:32Speaker 2: got to feel for the volunteers largely who are giving
- 18:35Speaker 2: these parcels out, but just really rough back of the
- 18:39Speaker 2: envelope maths. So they set up to up to four
- 18:42Speaker 2: hundred families that received the packs, and the packs of
- 18:46Speaker 2: lollies I had to look like they've got about thirty
- 18:49Speaker 2: dollies in each, So you do some little mass and
- 18:52Speaker 2: at the worst case scenario, that's eight thousand lollies. That's
- 18:56Speaker 2: two point four million doses of meth past each lolly
- 19:01Speaker 2: based on twenty nineteen street prices would be worth fifteen
- 19:04Speaker 2: hundred dollars. No wonder that someone was trying to sell
- 19:08Speaker 2: one on trade me on Facebook marketplace. I think it was.
- 19:12Speaker 2: I don't know whether that was someone taking the mickey
- 19:15Speaker 2: or whether it was a serious thing. But there you go,
- 19:19Speaker 2: very very sad, and thankfully no one has died, is
- 19:22Speaker 2: all you can say. Twenty two away from six Brech,
- 19:25Speaker 2: I'm we're going to callen propor in Dunedin as we
- 19:27Speaker 2: checking with our reporters around the country column. The Dunedin
- 19:31Speaker 2: mayor is drumming up the idea of a music festival there. Yeah,
- 19:35Speaker 2: morning Ryan.
- 19:35Speaker 11: This comes in the wake of the death of The
- 19:37Speaker 11: Chills frontman Martin Phillips, whose funeral was in Dunedan.
- 19:41Speaker 2: Here last Friday, our met Jills.
- 19:43Speaker 11: Raddick's now suggesting the idea of a Dunedin Sound type festival,
- 19:48Speaker 11: and he's raised this during a discussion about festivals and
- 19:51Speaker 11: events at the City Council this week. Raddick wants an
- 19:54Speaker 11: event where local bands and artists come together to celebrate
- 19:56Speaker 11: the music of the Chills and other D'nedan bands that
- 20:00Speaker 11: emerged in the seventies and eighties nine as the Dnevan Sound.
- 20:03Speaker 11: He says it's an idea he's had for a while
- 20:05Speaker 11: now and he hopes to make it a reality in
- 20:07Speaker 11: the next year.
- 20:07Speaker 2: I think it's a brilliant idea. How's it with them?
- 20:10Speaker 11: Most of the cloudy We've got shews that are clear
- 20:13Speaker 11: by this evening, sol west breezes and eleven today.
- 20:15Speaker 2: Thanks Colem Claire Sherwoods and christ Church is the live
- 20:19Speaker 2: golf to a coming your way clear.
- 20:21Speaker 12: Could be Ryan, and things are moving fast with us
- 20:23Speaker 12: as well. We're told this could happen as early as
- 20:26Speaker 12: the new year, and that's according to those here in
- 20:29Speaker 12: our newsroom. It is a very high profile tournament. This
- 20:32Speaker 12: is the one that launched in twenty twenty one and
- 20:34Speaker 12: has made huge signings with big multimillion dollar deals, attracting
- 20:38Speaker 12: the likes of Brooks Kepka, Dustin Johnson, even Phil Mickelson,
- 20:42Speaker 12: among others. It would be held if it comes here
- 20:45Speaker 12: at the christ Church Golf Club, which is New Zealand's
- 20:47Speaker 12: second oldest, But as you may have heard in the
- 20:49Speaker 12: news there, the general manager, Mike Hadley's confirmed that yes,
- 20:53Speaker 12: live golf officials have visited the course, but as yet
- 20:55Speaker 12: there's been no follow up. Key we Golfing legends to
- 20:58Speaker 12: Bob Charles, though, was one who's emerging as an early
- 21:01Speaker 12: opponent to the idea. He's told our newsroom he doesn't
- 21:04Speaker 12: endorse it. In fact, he wouldn't walk across the road
- 21:07Speaker 12: to watch it house. The weather, they're clear, apparently cloudy
- 21:11Speaker 12: with some isolated morning showers. Light when's northeast breezes later today,
- 21:15Speaker 12: the high at thirteenth.
- 21:16Speaker 2: Enjoy your Friday morning. Clear, Max Holes and Wellington Max.
- 21:19Speaker 2: Before we get to your yarn. You're a golfer, what
- 21:22Speaker 2: do you think of the golf to.
- 21:25Speaker 6: Look?
- 21:26Speaker 5: I mean purists will always favor the PGA tour. But
- 21:29Speaker 5: if a tour would have come to christ Church and
- 21:31Speaker 5: you've got John Raham coming, Bryce and Deschambeau some of
- 21:35Speaker 5: the big names, Sergio, I say, Phil Micholson, it'd be
- 21:38Speaker 5: hard to turn down.
- 21:38Speaker 2: I'd be probably flying down for it. You're not a
- 21:41Speaker 2: purist then, obviously, Max completely tell us about the TOPAPA chargers.
- 21:46Speaker 2: No more free entry for some.
- 21:49Speaker 5: Yeah, interesting one not for international visitors. At Tipapa. From
- 21:54Speaker 5: mid September, the museum introducing quite a hefty fee for
- 21:58Speaker 5: non residents. Tourists will have to shell out thirty five
- 22:01Speaker 5: dollars a ticket just to get into Tibaba. It is
- 22:04Speaker 5: judi rising costs there. What's interesting though, there's no real
- 22:08Speaker 5: way of policing.
- 22:08Speaker 2: It to see.
- 22:09Speaker 5: Courtney Johnson says it'll be a high trust model with
- 22:12Speaker 5: visitors having to self identify their nationality of their visitor
- 22:16Speaker 5: status feels a little scamy. Johnston says most international visitors
- 22:21Speaker 5: currently don't realize it's free and often asked where they
- 22:24Speaker 5: can buy a ticket.
- 22:26Speaker 2: That sounds like it's set up to fail. What are
- 22:28Speaker 2: they going to do like an accent test. Well, I'm kowei,
- 22:33Speaker 2: I'm not German. Oh left me in. Good luck with that.
- 22:38Speaker 2: Thirty five dollars is quite steep too, although the earthquake
- 22:41Speaker 2: House is good to visit. Max, thank you, you're you're
- 22:43Speaker 2: with it today?
- 22:44Speaker 5: Sorry and well you're mostly cloudy northerlyas fourteen the High Central.
- 22:48Speaker 2: Brilliant, Thank you, Windy, Petris and Aukland, good morning, good
- 22:51Speaker 2: to see you. What are these? Oh? When can I
- 22:53Speaker 2: buy alcohol? That's the most important question. It's Friday.
- 22:56Speaker 13: Well, because you're getting up so early, I think this
- 22:58Speaker 13: will probably be okay for you because at nine o'clock
- 23:00Speaker 13: it could be in place. A liquor ban tougher laws
- 23:04Speaker 13: alcohol laws for Aucklanders, including banning sales and supermarkets and
- 23:08Speaker 13: liquor stores after nine pm. These could be in place
- 23:11Speaker 13: by December. The council designed the local Alcohol Policy, aiming
- 23:15Speaker 13: to reduce alcohol harm, and will come up to council
- 23:18Speaker 13: vote in the end of the month. Policy would also
- 23:20Speaker 13: see a two year ban on new bottle stores in
- 23:22Speaker 13: the city and twenty three other areas. Sports clubs and
- 23:26Speaker 13: RSAs would also have to stop selling after one am,
- 23:29Speaker 13: while bars and other on licenses would have to stop
- 23:31Speaker 13: at four am, and the CBD and three am everywhere else.
- 23:35Speaker 2: That doesn't sound too bad, doesn't And if you need more,
- 23:38Speaker 2: you just buy more earlier.
- 23:41Speaker 13: You think ahead.
- 23:42Speaker 14: We all need to think of head plan.
- 23:44Speaker 13: How's the weather today, Well, it's a mostly cloudy day,
- 23:47Speaker 13: which I always think must mean some fine spells, with
- 23:49Speaker 13: a few showers around northwesterlies a high of seventeen degrees.
- 23:53Speaker 2: We'll be looking for those fine spells. Thank you. Wendy
- 23:56Speaker 2: Pittrey with us this morning. It is eighteen away from six.
- 24:00Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with
- 24:04Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and
- 24:07Speaker 1: a playing Store, News Talk zid Be.
- 24:10Speaker 2: It's called it to Sex. It's Friday morning. Great to
- 24:11Speaker 2: have your company. We're going a Vincent mcavinie in the
- 24:13Speaker 2: UK in just a few seconds, but very quickly. Matthew Perry,
- 24:17Speaker 2: the Friends actor who died He had ketamine in his system.
- 24:21Speaker 2: He was found dead in his spa pool while five people.
- 24:26Speaker 2: An update on the case. Five people have been arrested
- 24:29Speaker 2: in relation to this death, including two doctors. Apparently he
- 24:33Speaker 2: was being supplied with doses of ketamine and authorities of
- 24:38Speaker 2: how to press conference in the last few minutes.
- 24:42Speaker 15: Defendant Placentia was a medical doctor. He worked with another
- 24:47Speaker 15: medical doctor, defendant Mark Chavez, to obtain kedemine. He then
- 24:53Speaker 15: worked with mister Perry's live in assistant, Defendant Kenneth Iwamasa,
- 25:00Speaker 15: distribute that ketamine to mister Perry.
- 25:03Speaker 1: International correspondence with insign Eye Insurance Peace of Mind for
- 25:07Speaker 1: New Zealand Business.
- 25:10Speaker 2: Vinton Mechavin is with US say U Can and Europe
- 25:12Speaker 2: Correspondent Vincent. The British supplied tanks are being used by
- 25:16Speaker 2: Ukraine to get into Russia.
- 25:19Speaker 9: Good morning, Yeah, that's right, This Ukrainian bold mission into
- 25:24Speaker 9: Russia seizing much territory in the neighboring regions. So far,
- 25:29Speaker 9: it's being discovered that Challenger two tanks provided by the
- 25:33Speaker 9: British government by the British military are being used as
- 25:36Speaker 9: part of that incursion, and that's been confirmed by military sources.
- 25:39Speaker 8: Now.
- 25:40Speaker 9: The rules that Britain had placed on Ukraine was that
- 25:43Speaker 9: all but a certain kind of long range mission missile
- 25:47Speaker 9: could be used against Russia and fired into Russia if needed.
- 25:52Speaker 9: There were no restrictions really put on the use of
- 25:54Speaker 9: these tanks. Although it has been such a bold move,
- 25:57Speaker 9: you wonder whether or not they ever contemplated that you
- 26:00Speaker 9: might reverse invade Russia in this maneuver. And there's much
- 26:04Speaker 9: sort of skepticism about what's going on, some military sources
- 26:08Speaker 9: saying that, you know, potentially the Russian army is slow,
- 26:11Speaker 9: but when it does move, it can come in with
- 26:13Speaker 9: huge force, and whether this actually will weaken Ukraine if
- 26:16Speaker 9: it has been too bold and move, or some saying
- 26:18Speaker 9: that actually, if the endgame now is to ender negotiations,
- 26:21Speaker 9: it helps Ukraine to be in control of some Russian
- 26:24Speaker 9: territory with some Russian captives prisoners of war that they
- 26:27Speaker 9: can then bring to the bargaining table.
- 26:29Speaker 2: Is there a moral dilimma here at all? You know,
- 26:32Speaker 2: the WIST has been arguing that you shouldn't invade sovereign
- 26:35Speaker 2: nations and then they're supplying tanks to do just that.
- 26:37Speaker 2: Is has the British government responding are they okay with
- 26:42Speaker 2: the tanks being used to go into Russia?
- 26:45Speaker 9: The European response has been pretty much you do you,
- 26:48Speaker 9: I mean, it's very much. You know, you were the
- 26:51Speaker 9: subject of an invasion and you were within your rights
- 26:54Speaker 9: to do this. Back there hasn't been any real criticism.
- 26:56Speaker 9: I think there's been not glee, but I think it's
- 27:00Speaker 9: I mean, it's taken Europe by surprise, but I think
- 27:02Speaker 9: they are pleased to see Vladimir Putin very much on
- 27:04Speaker 9: the backbook. This is the largest invasion of Russia since
- 27:07Speaker 9: the Second World War and it highlights the folly and
- 27:10Speaker 9: I think that's the way it is being portrayed, the
- 27:12Speaker 9: absolute folly that Vladimir Putin has had, the embarrassment that
- 27:14Speaker 9: their armed forces have had. You know, it was meant
- 27:17Speaker 9: to be a few days special operation. Here we are
- 27:19Speaker 9: two and a half years later and Russia is now
- 27:22Speaker 9: the one being invaded.
- 27:23Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, it's pants down embarrassing for Putin, no doubt
- 27:26Speaker 2: about it. Thank you so much for that, Vincent mcavinie.
- 27:29Speaker 2: With us out of the UK, we didn't quite get
- 27:31Speaker 2: to Taylor Swift, but the Wembley Stadium event is going
- 27:35Speaker 2: ahead and Taylor Swift has landed. The swiftly has landed
- 27:40Speaker 2: in London. It is twelve away from six. Ryan bridge
- 27:44Speaker 2: Chin dot Com is back in the news and it
- 27:46Speaker 2: looks like this time he may be on his way
- 27:49Speaker 2: to the United States extradited Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith has
- 27:53Speaker 2: signed the order for him to leave. Does that mean
- 27:57Speaker 2: he'll actually go? Dot Com made his fortune from file
- 28:00Speaker 2: sharing website mega upload, which was often used to share
- 28:03Speaker 2: pirated movies and movies and music. He moved to New
- 28:07Speaker 2: Zealand and twenty ten and was pursued by the US government.
- 28:10Speaker 2: Bill Hodge's former Auckland University law professor Bill good Morning.
- 28:14Speaker 6: Good morning to you.
- 28:16Speaker 2: Is this actually going to happen? Because we've been told
- 28:19Speaker 2: for twelve years now that it is.
- 28:22Speaker 6: There has always been until now, another appeal. He's gone
- 28:26Speaker 6: through the District Court, he's gone through the High Court,
- 28:29Speaker 6: he's gone through the Court of Appeal, he's gone through
- 28:31Speaker 6: the Supreme Court. He can't go to the Privy Council.
- 28:34Speaker 6: That's one option he doesn't have. But yes, there is
- 28:38Speaker 6: one more step. I'll call it an ultimate step, but
- 28:42Speaker 6: it's not an appeal. You use the word appeal to
- 28:45Speaker 6: go from one court to the higher court. But this
- 28:47Speaker 6: has been an executive decision. This is a decision of
- 28:51Speaker 6: the minister, final ticking of the box. And when you
- 28:55Speaker 6: challenge an appeal, a challenge a decision of an executive
- 29:01Speaker 6: the minister. That's called a review. So he will be
- 29:05Speaker 6: going to the High Court for judicial review of the
- 29:09Speaker 6: minister's decision. And it has to be not outrageously irrational
- 29:14Speaker 6: and unreasonable. And the Minister is going to be looking
- 29:17Speaker 6: at the terms in the statute, and well the court
- 29:21Speaker 6: will be looking at his looking at it. They'll be
- 29:23Speaker 6: looking over his shoulder. And is dot Com going to
- 29:27Speaker 6: be subject to the death penalty over there? No? Is
- 29:30Speaker 6: he going to be tortured over there?
- 29:32Speaker 1: No?
- 29:33Speaker 6: Is he being persecuted because of his religion, because of
- 29:36Speaker 6: his nationality, because of his gender.
- 29:39Speaker 1: No.
- 29:39Speaker 6: Ultimately it comes down to this question for the minister,
- 29:44Speaker 6: are there compelling or extraordinary circumstances, including age and health
- 29:50Speaker 6: age or health, that would make it unjust or oppressive
- 29:55Speaker 6: to surrender Kim dot Com to the Americans? That is
- 29:58Speaker 6: the test that Goldsmith. Minister Goldsmith applied and a court
- 30:03Speaker 6: will look over his shoulder and say, was that a
- 30:07Speaker 6: reasonable decision?
- 30:08Speaker 2: So, in other words, Kim dot Com has one life lift,
- 30:11Speaker 2: but it's not looking good for him. How long could
- 30:14Speaker 2: that take? And you know, when could we actually see
- 30:17Speaker 2: him extradited?
- 30:19Speaker 6: As long as a piece of strength. I have been
- 30:21Speaker 6: surprised repeatedly about how long it took. Ideally, if it
- 30:27Speaker 6: was a typical judicial review, it could be done within
- 30:31Speaker 6: six months. I'm wondering if the court will expedite it.
- 30:36Speaker 6: I don't know. I'd like to be precise, but I
- 30:40Speaker 6: just can't. But can I say that this matter of
- 30:44Speaker 6: I don't know what a state of health is and
- 30:46Speaker 6: I don't know how they're going to look at his family.
- 30:49Speaker 6: But if I were him, I'd be saying, look, I've
- 30:52Speaker 6: got this enormous family. I've got four children by Mona,
- 30:55Speaker 6: I've got another new child with Elizabeth. You don't want
- 30:58Speaker 6: those children to be going on to the mercies of
- 31:01Speaker 6: the Department of Social Welfare be a burden on the
- 31:04Speaker 6: people of New Zealand. I have to stay here because
- 31:06Speaker 6: of my family. I think that would be the biggest
- 31:09Speaker 6: argument that he's put down not only roots, but he's
- 31:12Speaker 6: put down children here.
- 31:14Speaker 2: Bill, thank you so much for that analysis. Bill Hodge,
- 31:16Speaker 2: former Orcan University law professor, talking about Kim dot Com,
- 31:20Speaker 2: who Paul Goldsmith has signed his extraditional order to get
- 31:23Speaker 2: him to the United States to face trial over those
- 31:26Speaker 2: you Know file sharing website claims. Interesting because he's fifty
- 31:31Speaker 2: years old. Obviously we don't know what his hou's like.
- 31:34Speaker 2: But if he went there, the penalty could be twenty years,
- 31:38Speaker 2: so he could be looking at you jail till he
- 31:40Speaker 2: seventy that's if he even gets there. As we said,
- 31:42Speaker 2: one Life left.
- 31:44Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day early
- 31:47Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture
- 31:51Speaker 1: Beds and a player store news Talk Sipy.
- 31:54Speaker 2: Good news for those wanting a holiday. North Korea has
- 31:56Speaker 2: eased its lockdown. You thought to Cinda was bad. Kim
- 31:59Speaker 2: Jong On just eased a five year lockdown after COVID
- 32:03Speaker 2: to allow foreign tourists and they're expecting mainly Russians and Chinese.
- 32:08Speaker 2: But if you want to go visit North Korea, gates
- 32:10Speaker 2: are open. Mike, you even wanted to go visit.
- 32:13Speaker 16: I wanted to go to Paris, and then I went
- 32:17Speaker 16: to Paris and I didn't like it. So there's been
- 32:19Speaker 16: a lot of parts of the world where I've gone
- 32:20Speaker 16: to thinking it's probably going to be a bit crap,
- 32:22Speaker 16: and it turns out it was.
- 32:23Speaker 2: Would would we put Paris in North Korea? In the
- 32:26Speaker 2: same time, I'm.
- 32:27Speaker 16: Trying to contrast it for you as if I can't
- 32:29Speaker 16: get excited about Paris, then I'm probably not going to
- 32:31Speaker 16: get exact Yang.
- 32:33Speaker 2: I was going to go there. I was meant to
- 32:35Speaker 2: go there to do they do a marathon that they
- 32:37Speaker 2: allow foreigners to run in in kyong Yang? Yeah, and
- 32:41Speaker 2: you can go from Beijing, you go on the train.
- 32:44Speaker 2: But it never happened.
- 32:45Speaker 14: How long is the marathon on North Korea?
- 32:46Speaker 16: As long as you want, you don't marathon?
- 32:51Speaker 14: How many marathons have you done?
- 32:53Speaker 2: None?
- 32:53Speaker 14: So you've done none?
- 32:54Speaker 16: So you just thought your debut, your debut, your marathon
- 32:59Speaker 16: Korea in North Korea?
- 33:01Speaker 2: Did you were failure? That is not an option exactly.
- 33:04Speaker 2: I mean you.
- 33:05Speaker 14: Realize if you don't do a set time or shoot.
- 33:06Speaker 2: You exactly, that's why you will always finish.
- 33:12Speaker 14: So do you have a plan for a new marathon
- 33:14Speaker 14: now or if you.
- 33:14Speaker 2: Give a marathon career given up? I do a bit
- 33:16Speaker 2: of swimming. I'll do ocean swimming.
- 33:19Speaker 16: Did you want to swim in North Korea? Or that's
- 33:25Speaker 16: that's the weakest story I've ever heard. I'll tell you what.
- 33:27Speaker 16: I was going to do a marathon in North Korea
- 33:29Speaker 16: but it never happened, And how many of you don't. Well,
- 33:32Speaker 16: I've done none, so you've done the same number I've done,
- 33:35Speaker 16: which is none.
- 33:36Speaker 14: Why have I done because I'm not even a runner?
- 33:39Speaker 14: Are you actually a runner? Or did you just know
- 33:41Speaker 14: I did?
- 33:41Speaker 2: I did? I did a marathon? What's on the showdow
- 33:46Speaker 2: we got?
- 33:47Speaker 14: I don't know?
- 33:48Speaker 16: Ethan Blackheader, the All Black? Well, you know, try and
