0:11
Speaker 2: That'd be good morning.
0:12
Speaker 3: It is six after five year on News Talk said
0:14
Speaker 3: be coming up on the show this morning. A bit
0:16
Speaker 3: of an immigration theme to the program. This morning. We're
0:18
Speaker 3: trying to boost ours in New Zealand. We'll look at
0:20
Speaker 3: parent boosts before six protests in the US over the
0:24
Speaker 3: ice crackdown and the UK. Gavin Gray has the numbers.
0:27
Speaker 3: Wait till you hear how much there's still spending in
0:30
Speaker 3: Starmer's coppying some heat for this, how much there's still
0:33
Speaker 3: spending on asylum seeker hotels. Andrew Orlison has sport for
0:37
Speaker 3: us the Blues, what a win, the Warriors, Ryan Fox,
0:41
Speaker 3: the all whites and young drivers. You know, you get
0:44
Speaker 3: all the headlines about the boy races. Actually the stats
0:47
Speaker 3: paint a different picture of young drivers. We'll get to
0:50
Speaker 3: that shortly.
0:52
Speaker 1: The agenda.
0:53
Speaker 3: It is Monday, the ninth of June. To the illegal
0:55
Speaker 3: immigrant protests in the US. The National Guard about to
0:58
Speaker 3: hit the streets of La Trump says they'll there for
1:00
Speaker 3: sixty days.
1:01
Speaker 2: Overnight.
1:02
Speaker 4: California Governor Gavin Newsom called Trump's decision quote purposefully inflammatory
1:07
Speaker 4: and said it would quote only escalate tangents. A president
1:11
Speaker 4: posting a truth social at two fourteen am, praising the
1:14
Speaker 4: National Guard and christicizing Newsom is incompetent, even calling him
1:18
Speaker 4: new scum.
1:21
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, were you following the Musk Trump spatch divorce over
1:26
Speaker 3: the weekend? I was glued to it. Simme it down
1:28
Speaker 3: a bit yesterday after getting quite ugly on Friday and Saturday.
1:32
Speaker 5: These two very powerful men, they can really damage each other.
1:36
Speaker 5: I mean, mister Trump has threatened that he will cut
1:38
Speaker 5: the government contracts with Elotmusk's companies, and his allies have
1:44
Speaker 5: already called for Elon Musk, who is a naturalized citizen
1:47
Speaker 5: originally from South Africa, to be deported.
1:50
Speaker 3: In Colombia this presidential Canada and intensive care. After being
1:53
Speaker 3: shot at a campaign event in Bogata, Senator Migael lou
1:57
Speaker 3: Rabi Tube was addressing supporters in a park when he
2:00
Speaker 3: was shot three times police arresting a fifteen year old.
2:03
Speaker 6: The question now is how the different political factions react
2:08
Speaker 6: the effect that this assassination attempt to have on the
2:12
Speaker 6: presidential race and the tone with which the President and
2:16
Speaker 6: the ruling party take this further.
2:19
Speaker 3: That's your agenda for Monday morning, eight after five.
2:22
Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on an early edition with
2:26
Speaker 1: Ryan Branch and ex Fole Insulation Keeping Kiwi Holmes warm
2:30
Speaker 1: and dry. This winter News Talks.
2:32
Speaker 3: A'd be ooh, some fancy new music on the program
2:35
Speaker 3: this morning. That sounds nice, doesn't it. Just speaking of Bogata,
2:39
Speaker 3: I've actually been there before without then Prime Minister John Key,
2:43
Speaker 3: who was on a trade mission and we were following it.
2:47
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a very dangerous place Columbia, a very
2:49
Speaker 3: dangerous place. Not quite as dangerous now as it was then,
2:52
Speaker 3: but very dangerous place. And we were on the bus
2:55
Speaker 3: because they put the media in the back of the
2:57
Speaker 3: motorcade because he obviously had the police escored and everything,
3:00
Speaker 3: and there was smoke. All of a sudden, the motike
3:03
Speaker 3: came to a screeching holt and there was smoke at
3:05
Speaker 3: the front, and everybody thought, oh, my goodness, somebody's tried
3:09
Speaker 3: to attack the Prime minister. You know, there's something going anyway.
3:12
Speaker 3: It turns out that they blew a tire, had to
3:15
Speaker 3: pull over and change it, or he changed cars. I
3:18
Speaker 3: think is what ended up happening nine minutes after five
3:20
Speaker 3: year on news Talks ad B. So, do you think
3:23
Speaker 3: parents are teaching their kids how to drive properly? That's
3:26
Speaker 3: my question for you this morning. Or do you think
3:29
Speaker 3: parents just put the L plates up because you see
3:31
Speaker 3: them all over town annoying on the road. Put the
3:34
Speaker 3: L plates up and then they're done with it. It's like
3:37
Speaker 3: a virtue signaling they're not actually teaching them. Because AA's
3:40
Speaker 3: got some stats out this morning that shows, by the way,
3:42
Speaker 3: young people and I'm talking fifteen to nineteen year olds here,
3:46
Speaker 3: are actually doing pretty well. The number who are offending
3:50
Speaker 3: on the roads breaking the laws down by forty one
3:53
Speaker 3: percent on ten years ago, drunk and drug driving down
3:58
Speaker 3: by fifty eight percent, and see belt offenses down by
4:01
Speaker 3: fifty two percent. Fewer of them are dying on the
4:03
Speaker 3: road as a result, which is good news. But here's
4:06
Speaker 3: the number I want to read to you. Half of
4:08
Speaker 3: drivers under twenty five had less than forty hours experience
4:12
Speaker 3: before sitting there restricted test. Seventeen percent said so about
4:15
Speaker 3: twenty percent said they'd done less than fifteen hours in
4:18
Speaker 3: the car with mum or dad. Now is that lazy
4:21
Speaker 3: or is that lazy or is it is that? Do
4:24
Speaker 3: you think? Because if you live in a city, you
4:26
Speaker 3: don't actually potentially drive as much as you might in
4:29
Speaker 3: the country. Nine two nine two the number to text.
4:33
Speaker 3: I had great fun being taught how to drive by
4:35
Speaker 3: my mum, not so much my dad. That was less
4:39
Speaker 3: That was less fun. Just got eleven after five year.
4:41
Speaker 3: On news Talk said B, We're going to get to
4:43
Speaker 3: Gavin Gray as sorry, get to Andrew Ordison on Sport.
4:46
Speaker 3: But first we will speak about those young driver numbers
4:50
Speaker 3: and just what the implications are for injuries and deaths
4:54
Speaker 3: on the road. That's next News.
4:56
Speaker 1: And views you trust to start your day. It's early
5:00
Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge at expol Insulation keeping Kiwi, Holmes,
5:04
Speaker 1: Ward and Drey this winter.
5:06
Speaker 3: News Talk said, be good morning, it is five point thirteen.
5:08
Speaker 3: On news Talk said B, We're going to talk just
5:10
Speaker 3: a twenty five past five this morning. I'll talk to
5:12
Speaker 3: you about the gas because we are now investors thanks
5:15
Speaker 3: to the budget to the tune of two hundred million dollars.
5:18
Speaker 3: We are going to be joint partners and exploring for
5:21
Speaker 3: new gas fields in New Zealand. The question is whether
5:23
Speaker 3: that's actually a smart thing to do. There was a
5:25
Speaker 3: new research note out on Friday from fullsyth Bar that
5:28
Speaker 3: looked at energy in New Zealand and actually this year
5:32
Speaker 3: apparently we're not going to have an energy crunch like
5:34
Speaker 3: we had last year, but twenty twenty six will be
5:37
Speaker 3: back to energy crunch. Territory problem is takes you two
5:41
Speaker 3: to three years to develop a gas field once you
5:43
Speaker 3: find it, and no one's even looking right now, so
5:46
Speaker 3: is it the right thing to be doing. We'll look
5:48
Speaker 3: at that at five twenty five, just gone fourteen after
5:50
Speaker 3: Ryan Bridge you research from the AA Research Foundation this
5:53
Speaker 3: morning they reckon young drivers are committing around forty percent
5:56
Speaker 3: fewer traffic offenses than a decade ago. Offending rate for
6:00
Speaker 3: fifteen to nineteen year olds have fallen by forty one percent,
6:03
Speaker 3: drunk and drugged driving by fifty eight percent, and seat
6:06
Speaker 3: belt offenses by fifty two percent. Young driver fatalities are
6:11
Speaker 3: also down, but still above the obviously the average and
6:14
Speaker 3: above the older age groups here as well. Jeff Upson
6:16
Speaker 3: is a Rodney Local board member and road safety campaigner
6:19
Speaker 3: with me this morning. GA Jeff get a he done? Yeah, good,
6:22
Speaker 3: thank you. First of all, these numbers are good, I
6:25
Speaker 3: mean we see the headlines about the boy racers, but
6:28
Speaker 3: actually on the whole they're behaving better than they were
6:31
Speaker 3: than I was ten years ago.
6:33
Speaker 7: Well, I mean I think, you know, we can't lump
6:35
Speaker 7: in the boy racers and all young drivers. But yeah, no,
6:40
Speaker 7: you're right in this statistic of fifty eight percent reduction
6:43
Speaker 7: and drink driving and young people. I mean, that's an
6:45
Speaker 7: amazing statistic. But we do need to be careful how
6:48
Speaker 7: we review statistics because that could just be less drink
6:52
Speaker 7: driver testing. So so it's really important how we how
6:55
Speaker 7: we interpret the data. But if the statistic also show
7:00
Speaker 7: less crashes, then maybe that is a factual thing.
7:03
Speaker 3: Well, I mean the death the fatalities are coming down, right,
7:07
Speaker 3: Fatalities are down from twenty two point five per one
7:10
Speaker 3: hundred thousand to sixteen point six over that ten year period.
7:16
Speaker 7: Yeah, I wonder what else we're looking at, you know,
7:19
Speaker 7: some of the other things that have created that data.
7:21
Speaker 7: I mean, is it the tires are getting better on cars?
7:25
Speaker 7: I mean, have we got better driver education now? I
7:28
Speaker 7: think driver education for young people is probably the most
7:31
Speaker 7: important thing, and it's important that we learn how to
7:35
Speaker 7: drive when we were younger. You know, it's a lot
7:37
Speaker 7: more difficult to learn things, you know, for you and
7:40
Speaker 7: I now than when we were at school.
7:43
Speaker 3: An old dog new tricks. So one of the things
7:47
Speaker 3: that they've identified is they want this is AA. They
7:50
Speaker 3: want driver training to be well, the learner license period
7:54
Speaker 3: to go from six months to a year, and they
7:57
Speaker 3: reckon that, you know, the parents perhaps aren't spending enough
8:00
Speaker 3: time in the car with the kids. Something like seventeen
8:03
Speaker 3: percent of them are getting less than fifteen hours over
8:07
Speaker 3: that six month period of actual driving time.
8:11
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's not a lot of time at all. And
8:15
Speaker 7: the other thing is that if you're learning from your parents,
8:17
Speaker 7: I mean, that's that's great, but it's sometimes you pick
8:19
Speaker 7: up the bad habits. And sometimes it's really important to
8:22
Speaker 7: have a professional driver trainer at least for a small
8:25
Speaker 7: portion of your your education process. And there's a lot
8:29
Speaker 7: of professional driver training courses, you know, Greek Murphy sponsors
8:34
Speaker 7: one that's it's on the racetrack and you learn some
8:37
Speaker 7: particular special skills. Some of the most basic things are
8:41
Speaker 7: not being taught, you know. You know, for example, what
8:43
Speaker 7: a tire footprint is. We are going to it today,
8:45
Speaker 7: but maybe the listeners will google that later on and
8:48
Speaker 7: find out what that means.
8:49
Speaker 3: What, can you just tell me what it is because
8:51
Speaker 3: I actually don't know. Okay.
8:53
Speaker 7: Yeah, so you look at the tire and you think
8:56
Speaker 7: it's a massive, big tire, but the tire footprint is
8:59
Speaker 7: the teeny tiny little part of that tire that's actually
9:01
Speaker 7: touching the road, and quite often that's about the size
9:04
Speaker 7: of your hand. So you know, you think you're driving
9:06
Speaker 7: one hundred or one hundred and ten kilometers along a
9:08
Speaker 7: wet road, but you've only got such a teeny tiny
9:11
Speaker 7: little bit of rubber actually keeping you going in a
9:14
Speaker 7: straight line.
9:15
Speaker 3: Yeah right, okay, but like Fred Finstone putting his foot down,
9:19
Speaker 3: it's not much. There's not much tread. Okay. So so
9:23
Speaker 3: you kind of agree with AA. You think there should
9:25
Speaker 3: be a more focus on training. Who taught you how
9:27
Speaker 3: to drive jet?
9:29
Speaker 7: It was a mix I learned from watching watching Dad drive.
9:33
Speaker 7: I also had a lot of experience off road, you know,
9:35
Speaker 7: on on farms, driving on gravel roads, and driving dirt bikes.
9:39
Speaker 7: So so I think I was quite lucky in that respect.
9:42
Speaker 7: But I did have some professional driver training and I
9:45
Speaker 7: did a team some driver training courses. There was a
9:49
Speaker 7: the company's gone bus now, but it was called pro
9:51
Speaker 7: drive and that was like a full day event, some
9:55
Speaker 7: in the classroom, some behind the wheel in some of
9:59
Speaker 7: the things that I doing that was invaluable. You just
10:04
Speaker 7: can't learn it without actually doing something like that.
10:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did the same thing, Jeff, Thank you very
10:08
Speaker 3: much for that. Jeff Upson, a Rodney local board member
10:10
Speaker 3: road safety campaign. Nine two ninety two is the number
10:13
Speaker 3: to text who bought you how to drive? I can remember, Yeah,
10:17
Speaker 3: I remember distinctly, just having fits of laughter. I just
10:21
Speaker 3: thought it. I think I was nervous and I would
10:23
Speaker 3: just laugh when I was being taught how to drive,
10:25
Speaker 3: which didn't give much confidence to my parents who were
10:28
Speaker 3: trying to teach me. Eighteen after five News Talks here
10:31
Speaker 3: B will get to Andrew Allison was.
10:32
Speaker 1: Sport next Ryan Bridge on earlier edition with ex Pol
10:37
Speaker 1: insulation keeping Kiwi Holmes warm and try this winter News
10:41
Speaker 1: talks 'B.
10:42
Speaker 3: Five twenty one News Talks, HEB will look at the
10:44
Speaker 3: parent boost immigration issue. Just before six, Andrew Allison here
10:47
Speaker 3: was sport this morning. Lots to watch this morning, love it.
10:50
Speaker 3: So we've got Ryan Fox. He's teeing off quarters to six,
10:53
Speaker 3: quarter to six.
10:54
Speaker 8: Yes, he was leading over nights, but just at least
10:59
Speaker 8: last support Shane, he had taken one stroke.
11:01
Speaker 2: He was five under through four holes.
11:02
Speaker 8: Today Fox now in a share of second, But of
11:05
Speaker 8: course he can change that once he once he teas
11:07
Speaker 8: off himself and change the momentum there.
11:10
Speaker 2: But Fox, like Gause, the key things. Remember, he's seventy
11:13
Speaker 2: five in the wild of the moment he gets into
11:15
Speaker 2: the top.
11:15
Speaker 8: Sixty, he will contest, or can contest the US Open
11:19
Speaker 8: this week at Pennsylvania.
11:22
Speaker 2: It's going to require like it's going to require a.
11:24
Speaker 8: Top five finish. So that's really the key other outright
11:27
Speaker 8: winning it, which would be ideal from Fox's perspective. Jesus,
11:31
Speaker 8: he's been playing so well right and adaptable too in
11:34
Speaker 8: that I saw that shot with his right leg shoeless.
11:38
Speaker 9: In the water.
11:39
Speaker 3: So he has to get to sixty.
11:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, inside the top sixty.
11:43
Speaker 3: Inside the top sixteen, you get to the US Open.
11:45
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah.
11:46
Speaker 8: So he's this is how he's doing it, though he
11:48
Speaker 8: wins event he top twenty finishes, et cetera.
11:51
Speaker 3: And happy pops, Yeah right, brilliant. And so we've had
11:53
Speaker 3: the tenant the French Open, Cocoa Golf wins.
11:56
Speaker 8: Yes, she's won of the women's and then the match
11:59
Speaker 8: against against the Reda Sablinka.
12:01
Speaker 2: And this morning Italian in front of me at the moment, but.
12:04
Speaker 3: I've got the wrong channel.
12:05
Speaker 8: Carlos al Karrath was on the verge of being able
12:10
Speaker 8: to get back into the fourth set. So it was
12:11
Speaker 8: two one to Yarnicks Cinner Sinner one the first two.
12:15
Speaker 8: Alcaath with a victory in the third set and he
12:18
Speaker 8: was down to break al Karrath.
12:19
Speaker 2: In the fourth.
12:20
Speaker 3: I'm trying to change the channels.
12:22
Speaker 8: And he was almost on the verge of breakboy, But
12:24
Speaker 8: hopefully we'll get that to you in a moment. But
12:27
Speaker 8: this is what we want to see from the men's
12:29
Speaker 8: French Tennis Open final.
12:31
Speaker 2: A thrilling duel there this.
12:33
Speaker 8: Morning as well between these two who are I guess
12:35
Speaker 8: the next wave of players, who have I guess taken
12:39
Speaker 8: over from the new three, the week four of the
12:42
Speaker 8: past generation and these two now taking it into the
12:46
Speaker 8: next level.
12:46
Speaker 3: Speaking of thrilling, what about the Blues and the Chiefs.
12:50
Speaker 3: That's one way to survive and the seasons are out.
12:53
Speaker 2: Yeah it watch. It was a great watch.
12:56
Speaker 8: Not twenty nineteen in the end, but the Blues defending
12:59
Speaker 8: chair is survived and the Chiefs.
13:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, thinking the Chiefs, surely this is there.
13:03
Speaker 8: Year again under Clayton McMillan as finally you as coach
13:06
Speaker 8: with the Chiefs, but not to be so far. But
13:09
Speaker 8: by virtue of being the best loser, they get the
13:14
Speaker 8: home semi final again this week, so they playing the
13:16
Speaker 8: Brumbies and well there'll be Saturday, but Blues Crusaders on Friday.
13:21
Speaker 2: It's a hell of a jill too.
13:22
Speaker 3: Yeah.
13:23
Speaker 8: Do you think, wow, she's pastform. We'd have to say
13:26
Speaker 8: the Crusaders that they've never been beaten in their playoff
13:28
Speaker 8: at home there. But Van Cotta he's got a real
13:33
Speaker 8: steely mindset to them. And the Blues coming finding some
13:36
Speaker 8: momentum at that crucial stage of the season.
13:38
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah. And the Warriors one.
13:41
Speaker 2: Too, hiding too.
13:43
Speaker 8: It's fantastic from the Warriors just showing their depth and
13:46
Speaker 8: Andrew Webster and even without Mitch Barnead et cetera.
13:49
Speaker 2: They've just got the right mindset.
13:51
Speaker 8: There's a terrific culture there at the moments and younger
13:54
Speaker 8: players coming through as well.
13:55
Speaker 2: It's it's good science.
13:56
Speaker 3: Not happening this morning.
13:57
Speaker 8: We'll look for your next up. So we love Monday morning,
14:00
Speaker 8: busy time. We'll get that Alcrassinara update to you very surely.
14:04
Speaker 3: Yes, you'll have it in six to seven minutes. I
14:06
Speaker 3: think absolutely, Thanks Andrew, good to see it. Others was
14:09
Speaker 3: for twenty four minutes after five, you're on News Talk
14:11
Speaker 3: Seed B. Coming up next, we'll look at the two
14:14
Speaker 3: hundred million dollars in the budget for we will be
14:17
Speaker 3: basically co investors or we will be going into business
14:21
Speaker 3: with gas explorers trying to find and extractors trying to
14:25
Speaker 3: find gas fields in New Zealand. Is that a smart
14:28
Speaker 3: and wise investment. We'll look into that next twenty four
14:30
Speaker 3: after five News Talk set B.
14:32
Speaker 1: The early edition Full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered
14:36
Speaker 1: by News Talks AB News.
14:39
Speaker 3: Talks HEB five twenty six. She was a chilly weekend,
14:42
Speaker 3: wasn't she? Even in Auckland it was five degrees. We
14:44
Speaker 3: had the heat pump cranking the entire weekend. I spoke
14:48
Speaker 3: to a friend of Marlborough last night who had the
14:49
Speaker 3: fire going all week and they actually had a proper frost.
14:53
Speaker 3: It's right now you start thinking, though, isn't it? How
14:55
Speaker 3: much is all this going to cost?
14:57
Speaker 7: Me?
14:57
Speaker 3: And the answer because I checked this morning the power
14:59
Speaker 3: bill the answer was for May two hundred and fifty
15:02
Speaker 3: dollars for a house of two people one dog. Already
15:06
Speaker 3: we've spent seventy dollars for June, which what are we
15:09
Speaker 3: the ninth of June at the moment. This is one
15:12
Speaker 3: of the few bills that I actually pay in our household,
15:14
Speaker 3: so it's one of the few that I really notice.
15:16
Speaker 3: It's not going through the roof tracking roughly the same
15:19
Speaker 3: as last year. And disclaimer for those of you thinking
15:22
Speaker 3: this is an outrageous amount, our place is old and cold,
15:26
Speaker 3: pretty poorly ventilated, and basically you need either airconn in
15:30
Speaker 3: the summer on all the time or heat in the winter.
15:32
Speaker 3: There is good news on the energy front though for
15:35
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, not that it directly affects us all
15:38
Speaker 3: more than big industrial users, but by virtue of that
15:42
Speaker 3: US all full syth Bar released an energy note on Friday.
15:45
Speaker 3: They reckon we'll avoid another big energy crunch this winter,
15:49
Speaker 3: but we will return to one in twenty twenty six.
15:53
Speaker 3: So no blackouts for twenty twenty five, which is good.
15:55
Speaker 3: The reason we've avoided this is because the electricity producers
15:58
Speaker 3: did a deal with Methodex and we've had rain so
16:01
Speaker 3: the hydrolanks have been given a top up. To avoid
16:03
Speaker 3: future black arts, we'll need to cut industrial demand, which
16:07
Speaker 3: is not great for business, and burn more coal. And
16:10
Speaker 3: that brings us to gas, a shortage of which caused
16:14
Speaker 3: last year's energy price crunch. For Soyth, bar reckons, the
16:17
Speaker 3: government's push for gas is actually unlikely to solve our problems.
16:22
Speaker 3: It takes two to three years to get a gas
16:24
Speaker 3: field up and running. First, you have to find it
16:27
Speaker 3: right now, nobody's even looking. No gas fields are being explored.
16:31
Speaker 3: By the time you get gas out of the government's
16:35
Speaker 3: two hundred million dollar budget buy in, the energy shortages
16:39
Speaker 3: will likely have passed. It's one thing to let the
16:43
Speaker 3: producers go it alone and risk their investment in capital.
16:46
Speaker 3: It's another to put our money on the line to
16:48
Speaker 3: develop these fields. There's a genuine question about whether this
16:52
Speaker 3: is smart investment in our future or if taxpayer money
16:56
Speaker 3: is being wasted here A bit like the heat escaping
17:01
Speaker 3: from my old house. Ryan Bridge, US talks B twenty
17:04
Speaker 3: nine minutes after five some great techs on how you
17:08
Speaker 3: who taught you how to drive? And how well you
17:10
Speaker 3: were taught how to drive? One from a rural girl.
17:14
Speaker 3: We'll get to that after this and s Kevin Gray
17:17
Speaker 3: in the UK News Talks.
17:18
Speaker 10: Ed B.
17:28
Speaker 8: Waiting for the.
17:33
Speaker 1: News you need this morning and the in depth analysis
17:36
Speaker 1: early edition with Ryan Bridge and ex Bowl Insulation keeping
17:41
Speaker 1: Kiwi homes warm and dry this Winter News Talks B.
17:52
Speaker 3: Good morning, Welcome to your Monday at Chili start twenty
17:55
Speaker 3: four away from six o'clock. Coming up the fourth six,
17:58
Speaker 3: we'll get to the Act party on the parents boost
18:00
Speaker 3: visa and Gavin Gray's in the UK for US Starma
18:02
Speaker 3: having a bit of trouble over there over immigration himself.
18:06
Speaker 3: Some texts before we get to our reporters around the country. Ryan,
18:09
Speaker 3: this is on gas, the fact that we are going
18:12
Speaker 3: soon going to be partners with some gas explorers and
18:16
Speaker 3: extractors to try and find it and get it out. Ryan.
18:20
Speaker 3: Have you ever heard of that old saying you have
18:22
Speaker 3: to start sometime or you don't start. As far as
18:25
Speaker 3: the gas is concerned, let's get into it, says Bruce. Bruce. Yeah.
18:29
Speaker 3: The question is whether we actually in the long term
18:31
Speaker 3: need it, because it'll take two to three years to
18:34
Speaker 3: find the gas. Currently, no one's even looking for gas,
18:37
Speaker 3: So is it worth us putting two hundred million dollars
18:41
Speaker 3: on the line. I think that's the question. Ryan, very
18:44
Speaker 3: well and good to talk about the gas and I
18:45
Speaker 3: appreciate you doing so. However, it would have been good
18:48
Speaker 3: to hear from someone in government on this is Brian, Brian,
18:50
Speaker 3: I do actually intend to ask the Prime Minister about
18:52
Speaker 3: that later this morning over on the Herald. And this
18:55
Speaker 3: is a great one on who taught you how to drive?
18:58
Speaker 3: And how well can you drive? And how well were
19:00
Speaker 3: you taught how to drive? We've had some new numbers
19:03
Speaker 3: out in young people this morning. Ryan. We were brought
19:06
Speaker 3: up on a farm, so we knew from a very
19:07
Speaker 3: young age how to drive. I now live in Auckland
19:10
Speaker 3: and compared to my husband there is a lot he
19:12
Speaker 3: doesn't know. I am one of five and the baby girl.
19:16
Speaker 3: But I know how to check my oil, water, tire
19:19
Speaker 3: pressure and also how to change a tire. My husband
19:22
Speaker 3: can only do the tire pressure. Twenty two to six
19:27
Speaker 3: Brian bred cadding for divorce. If you keep that up, Kelly.
19:30
Speaker 3: Now we'll get to our reporters around the country Cullum
19:33
Speaker 3: and Dunedin first this morning. Callum, good morning morning. Right now,
19:37
Speaker 3: the cause to revive the Southerner passenger train this morning. Yeah.
19:42
Speaker 9: Look, there's been a petition launched to revive the Southerner
19:45
Speaker 9: and more than two thousand people already have signed this
19:48
Speaker 9: seeking the restoration of the service between christ Church and
19:52
Speaker 9: in the Cargo Vias and Needans on the main trunk line.
19:55
Speaker 9: The service shut down in two thousand and two, but
19:58
Speaker 9: it's proposed that a refer service would stop off at
20:01
Speaker 9: multiple key towns along the way like ashburd and Timaru, Omaru,
20:05
Speaker 9: Belkluther and Gore to save our trained Southern Groups says
20:08
Speaker 9: there are seven hundred and fifty thousand people living along
20:11
Speaker 9: this route. They are currently starved off reasonable public transport links.
20:15
Speaker 9: This petition is to be presented at Parliament in July.
20:19
Speaker 3: And how's your weather?
20:21
Speaker 2: Still cold?
20:22
Speaker 9: Rainies into the odd shower today, Southerly's dying out still
20:26
Speaker 9: single figures the heights today.
20:27
Speaker 3: Just night night all right, gets to get to clear
20:29
Speaker 3: and christ Church clear. Good morning to you, Good morning.
20:32
Speaker 3: Another step forward in the rebuild for the new cathedral.
20:37
Speaker 11: Yes, well this is the Catholic Cathedral Ryan, So the
20:40
Speaker 11: one that was on Barbados Street here in Christchurch, and
20:42
Speaker 11: that's where it will be rebuilt as well. The news
20:45
Speaker 11: today is that they've picked an architectural firm A Warren
20:48
Speaker 11: and Marni to design the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament
20:52
Speaker 11: and the surrounding precinct. This is the company that have
20:55
Speaker 11: worked on many of Christchurch's key buildings, including our christ
20:58
Speaker 11: Church town Hall, the tip Hi Convention Center and our
21:02
Speaker 11: new Big Justice Precinct. The diocese has been without a
21:05
Speaker 11: cathedral since the quakes. Bishop Michael Geeland says they really
21:09
Speaker 11: hope that the cathedral will regain status as one of
21:12
Speaker 11: the architectural treasures of the city. This is, of course,
21:15
Speaker 11: the first Catholic cathedral to be built in New Zealand
21:18
Speaker 11: in more than one hundred and twenty years.
21:21
Speaker 3: Goodness be I suppose they're not really in hot demand anymore,
21:24
Speaker 3: are they? So they probably yeah, rebuilding old ones, but
21:27
Speaker 3: not doing new ones. How's the weather?
21:28
Speaker 11: They're clear cold here too, some snow falling to seven
21:32
Speaker 11: hundred meters this morning and then becoming few and far
21:34
Speaker 11: between from this afternoon. Southwesterlies and a high of nine.
21:38
Speaker 3: Blessed you clear, thank you and Max's and Wellington Max
21:40
Speaker 3: good morning, Good morning businesses. They're paying more in commercial
21:44
Speaker 3: rates than anywhere else in the country.
21:47
Speaker 10: Yeah. So the average commercial rates spell in Wellington is
21:50
Speaker 10: almost forty nine thousand dollars. In Auckland it's twenty thousand,
21:54
Speaker 10: eighteen thousand in christis twenty five in Hamilton. These are
21:58
Speaker 10: figures that really do show home to a struggle it
22:00
Speaker 10: is to do business in the capital. Our local Chamber
22:03
Speaker 10: of Commerce calls it a stark difference, a real worry.
22:06
Speaker 10: Wellington businesses paying about forty eight percent of the city's
22:09
Speaker 10: rate burden. Leaseholders obviously getting the full effect of that
22:12
Speaker 10: as well. Businesses are closing. They've been closing for months.
22:15
Speaker 10: Most are saying the same thing, it's not worth it anymore.
22:18
Speaker 10: Rents are too high. In twenty twenty three, city council
22:21
Speaker 10: officials pointed this problem out. They recommended to councilors they
22:24
Speaker 10: bring down the commercial rates differential ad Council. That proposal
22:28
Speaker 10: was voted down. It's simple. The next voter is in October.
22:32
Speaker 3: All right, how's your with them? Max?
22:34
Speaker 10: Some showers this morning, SOUTHERLYA'ST ten the high Central brilliant.
22:38
Speaker 3: Thank you have a good day, Neiva's and orkanahay nava
22:40
Speaker 3: good morning. Or can property valuations going to be released?
22:43
Speaker 12: Yeh?
22:44
Speaker 13: This week finally. So obviously we know that these valuations
22:48
Speaker 13: are used to seat rates because they were originally seat
22:51
Speaker 13: for release. I think people remember this in May of
22:53
Speaker 13: last year. Then they were pushed back I think a
22:56
Speaker 13: couple of times, and that was for the value a
22:59
Speaker 13: General to carry out a set of reviews. So we
23:02
Speaker 13: know that these property valuations will be released finally this week.
23:05
Speaker 13: It's also expected that many of the rate payers will
23:07
Speaker 13: object object to their new value, so.
23:10
Speaker 3: No one likes them when they come out. But they
23:13
Speaker 3: don't mean anything anyway, really do they. They just well
23:16
Speaker 3: apart from what you're right, whether.
23:17
Speaker 13: To go up or down or yeah, yeah, quite right,
23:19
Speaker 13: quite right.

25:24
Speaker 3: Fourteen to six News Talk zimb We'll get to the
25:26
Speaker 3: peer and boost visa in a second right now. Gavin
25:28
Speaker 3: Gray in the UK for US Kevin, good morning, good
25:31
Speaker 3: evening to you. The government accused there of failing to
25:34
Speaker 3: keep its election promises. This is over the amount spent
25:37
Speaker 3: on the asylum seekers.
25:40
Speaker 12: Yeah, sides down, but it's down not very much, Ryan.
25:43
Speaker 12: So in total, the bill being spent on hotels to
25:47
Speaker 12: How's migrants last year was four point four billion New
25:51
Speaker 12: Zealand dollars, down from four point six billion the year before.
25:55
Speaker 12: It is said that there are thirty two thousand asylum
25:58
Speaker 12: seekers in hotels in the UK. The money is coming
26:01
Speaker 12: out of the overseas development budget. So money that should
26:04
Speaker 12: be going to help the poorest people around the world
26:07
Speaker 12: is instead being used to house migrants who have come
26:10
Speaker 12: to the UK. It really is unsustainable. I think plenty
26:14
Speaker 12: of people are thinking. But here's the other thing. Because
26:16
Speaker 12: the country's not losing any money, people are also beginning
26:19
Speaker 12: to wonder if ministers are really serious about tackling this injustice,
26:23
Speaker 12: in that this money would be saving lives elsewhere around
26:26
Speaker 12: the globe as opposed to comfort for those who have
26:29
Speaker 12: come here illegally and are applying for asylum. It's a
26:32
Speaker 12: very tricky issue. No government's got a grip on it.
26:34
Speaker 12: But this hotel bill seems to go on and on
26:37
Speaker 12: and on.
26:38
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, we've got arrests up for illegal migrants.
26:43
Speaker 12: Yes, this the government has improved on since they came
26:45
Speaker 12: into parent July of last year, in that they have
26:48
Speaker 12: toughened up quite considerably the fines and penalties to employers
26:53
Speaker 12: who do carry on employing migrants who are working here illegally. Now,
27:00
Speaker 12: the problem is for those who are in those hotels
27:02
Speaker 12: we just described Ryan, and they are allowed to go
27:05
Speaker 12: out and about and do what they want. They're given
27:06
Speaker 12: a small amount of money each day, but they are
27:09
Speaker 12: not allowed to work and plenty of people think well
27:11
Speaker 12: they should be allowed to work. And so we've heard
27:14
Speaker 12: there's a fifty one percent rise on the number of
27:17
Speaker 12: people arrested on suspicion of working illegally in the UK.
27:20
Speaker 12: That's a significant rise and it is said that they
27:24
Speaker 12: have managed to thirty thousand people in total who have
27:29
Speaker 12: no right to be in the UK have now been
27:31
Speaker 12: returned to their home countries according to the Home Office.
27:33
Speaker 12: So this is a more positive story.
27:35
Speaker 3: But then you get down.
27:36
Speaker 12: To the detail and footage showing on video shows the
27:39
Speaker 12: moment thirty six people were arrested on one construction site,
27:44
Speaker 12: nine others arrested illegally using delivery drivers. The list goes
27:49
Speaker 12: on and on, and the question is how can the
27:51
Speaker 12: government crack down further on that?
27:53
Speaker 3: Thank you very much, Kevin Gavin Gray are UK. You're
27:55
Speaker 3: a correspondent just going to live in minutes away from
27:57
Speaker 3: six Ryan Bridge. Terrants will from September be allowed to
28:01
Speaker 3: visit the country on a special visa. The Parent Boost
28:04
Speaker 3: visa will allow parents and will allow the parents of
28:07
Speaker 3: citizens and residents to be granted with multi entry access
28:10
Speaker 3: for up to five years if they meet health income
28:12
Speaker 3: and insurance criteria, plus you can extend for another five,
28:15
Speaker 3: so it's basically ten. It's a copy paste of the
28:18
Speaker 3: Australia Canada model. Dr Palmjuck Palmer is the act immigration
28:22
Speaker 3: spokesperson with me this morning, Good morning.
28:24
Speaker 15: Good morning game now for having me on, great.
28:27
Speaker 3: To have you here. Now, the estimates for how many
28:30
Speaker 3: we might see apply for this very wildly from two
28:32
Speaker 3: thousand to ten thousand a year. What do you think
28:35
Speaker 3: is going to happen with it?
28:37
Speaker 15: I think we'll have to wait and watch how many
28:39
Speaker 15: people actually take up this opportunity, because as it was
28:44
Speaker 15: said in yesterday's media conference that it could be between
28:48
Speaker 15: two to ten thousand. But we'll have to wakency.
28:50
Speaker 3: Are you happy with I mean, you guys wanted a
28:53
Speaker 3: public system with a payment from the parents rather than
28:56
Speaker 3: them having to have health insurance. Why did you want that?
28:59
Speaker 3: And do you think this will make a difference?
29:02
Speaker 15: So where we have blended, we are quite actually satisfied
29:06
Speaker 15: with that. I am quite confident it will work and
29:09
Speaker 15: it will help families those who really want to bring
29:12
Speaker 15: their parents here on long term visitors visa. So when
29:16
Speaker 15: we were doing work on our policy that was done
29:18
Speaker 15: While we were in a position, I spoke to various
29:21
Speaker 15: health insurance industry people and the feedback that I received
29:26
Speaker 15: from them was that some health insurance companies are reluctant
29:30
Speaker 15: to take new clients those who are over a certain age.
29:33
Speaker 15: And also the second point they made was that they're
29:36
Speaker 15: reluctant to take people those who are on our visitor's visa.
29:39
Speaker 15: And they also said that health insurance can be given
29:43
Speaker 15: for one year with the travel insurance. And that's why
29:46
Speaker 15: we thought that it's best to have a fund associated
29:49
Speaker 15: with the application that goes towards public health fund, so
29:53
Speaker 15: that we are not creating a situation for the sponsor
29:56
Speaker 15: where the sponsor is aniga in our death yourself, their
30:00
Speaker 15: parents ending up in hospital and then the hospital choosing
30:04
Speaker 15: for fairments. So that's why we thought we want to
30:06
Speaker 15: actually balance it for sponsor and for taxpayers. And that
30:10
Speaker 15: was the idea.
30:11
Speaker 3: There, right, But does that not mean that if that
30:13
Speaker 3: is the case, that some of these parents won't actually
30:15
Speaker 3: be able to get insurance.
30:17
Speaker 15: So what I would say is that industries evolved and
30:21
Speaker 15: if there is a need, then industries might look into it.
30:25
Speaker 15: Some really positive about it and confident partical work but
30:29
Speaker 15: we will watch closely how it goes and if it
30:32
Speaker 15: needs improvement, we will be definitely talking about that.
30:35
Speaker 3: Panji, appreciate your time spanting Pundrick Palmer, spokesperson for Immigration
30:38
Speaker 3: for the ACT Party. It is eight minutes away from
30:40
Speaker 3: six on News talk to because I guess the thing
30:42
Speaker 3: is you don't want you don't want a whole bunch
30:44
Speaker 3: of parents of immigrants coming to New Zealand and draining
30:48
Speaker 3: the super our superannuation and the health system, which is
30:52
Speaker 3: what this is aiming to address. You can't do that,
30:55
Speaker 3: But then the question is really how effective is it
30:57
Speaker 3: if they can't get insurance. I suppose can't get health insurance.
31:00
Speaker 3: Eight minutes away from six News Talks, there'd be right.
31:02
Speaker 1: Next the first word on the News of the Day
31:06
Speaker 1: early edition with Ryan Bridge and x Fole Insulation keeping
31:10
Speaker 1: Kiwi Holmes warm and dry this winter news talks, that'd
31:13
Speaker 1: be news talks.
31:14
Speaker 3: Here'b just gone six minutes away from six. Over in
31:16
Speaker 3: the US, you might be wondering, how is Trump getting
31:19
Speaker 3: the National Guard to go into the streets of Los
31:22
Speaker 3: Angeles to deal with this rebellion. That's what he's calling it,
31:25
Speaker 3: and that's why he's able to do it. Usually the
31:28
Speaker 3: governor is the basically the commander in chief of like
31:31
Speaker 3: Newsom would be in charge of the National Guard in California.
31:35
Speaker 3: But under Title ten of the US Code, presidents can
31:38
Speaker 3: federalize the National Guard, meaning to order the state based
31:41
Speaker 3: troops to active duty when there is a rebellion or
31:44
Speaker 3: danger of a rebellion against government authority. And that is
31:47
Speaker 3: exactly what Trump is saying is happening there. It's five
31:50
Speaker 3: to six Ryan Bridge rebellion of sorts in the studio
31:53
Speaker 3: this morning, Mike, good morning.
31:55
Speaker 16: Do you know it's a funny thing when I come in,
31:57
Speaker 16: especially on a Monday. Yeah, And I tied you this
32:00
Speaker 16: dump up from all the low renters that have occupied
32:04
