Speaker 3: was a suicide bombing and said the the suicide bomber
1:00
Speaker 3: was attempting to try to get inside the judicial complex.
1:03
Speaker 3: What was unable to and instead targeted a police vehicle
1:07
Speaker 3: outside of the complex and the New Dell.
1:09
Speaker 2: It was a briefcase bomb.
1:10
Speaker 4: We are waiting to know if there could be more
1:13
Speaker 4: details about what kind of explosion happened, how it happened,
1:16
Speaker 4: and who are behind it. For now, we've been told that.
1:19
Speaker 5: We need to wait for these answers because the investigation.
1:22
Speaker 6: Is underweight now.
1:23
Speaker 2: Explaining is the losing in the UK. Tim David, this
1:26
Speaker 2: is the outgoing boss of the BBC. He's doing both.
1:28
Speaker 7: I think we've got a fight for our journalism. I'm
1:32
Speaker 7: really proud of our work and the amazing work locally
1:36
Speaker 7: globally that we're doing is ugly precious. We have made
1:39
Speaker 7: some mistakes that have cost us, but we need to
1:41
Speaker 7: fight for that and I'm fiercely proud of that.
1:44
Speaker 2: Okay, finally back home. Labour doesn't want to bar of
1:47
Speaker 2: the Maori parties. Now it's rogue agents.
1:50
Speaker 8: So they're not laboring people.
1:51
Speaker 2: They're not labor candidates.
1:53
Speaker 8: They're good people. We don't have anything goinst them that
1:55
Speaker 8: they will not be candidates with labor.

Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and r V Supercenter explore r VS,
2:07
Speaker 1: accessories and servicing fall in one news talks that'd be.
2:11
Speaker 2: Eight minutes alfter five. Now I read the mix Skimming
2:14
Speaker 2: Coster report last night. This is the IPCA report, and
2:18
Speaker 2: I'll tell you the bits of it that I think
2:20
Speaker 2: are most relevant, and we will talk about that shortly. First, though,
2:24
Speaker 2: I want to talk about the economy, because that is
2:26
Speaker 2: what's most important. After all, we had numbers out yesterday
2:29
Speaker 2: which are interesting and kind of start to paint the
2:32
Speaker 2: picture that A and Z was starting yesterday. So we
2:37
Speaker 2: had the card spending out at the interesting part of
2:41
Speaker 2: this no real change, but the interesting part is what
2:45
Speaker 2: we're spending on, and it's durables up six and a
2:48
Speaker 2: half percent. That is the largest overall annual growth rate
2:52
Speaker 2: of all of the categories, which is good news because
2:54
Speaker 2: when you start spending on that, then the economy is
2:58
Speaker 2: starting to turn around a little bit. Also, we've had
3:01
Speaker 2: from AINZ the Trachrometer truckameter monitoring shows light traffic index
3:06
Speaker 2: rows point two percent in October, but is three point
3:09
Speaker 2: two percent higher than a year ago. Annual growth increasing rapidly.
3:13
Speaker 2: Now that same number last year was going backwards on
3:16
Speaker 2: the year before. It so this is good news. Two
3:18
Speaker 2: bits of two little bits of good news for the economy.
3:22
Speaker 2: We're basically buying more fridges and sofas than the roads
3:24
Speaker 2: are busier. Great. Nine minutes after five. Also inflation expectations,
3:29
Speaker 2: we had those out yesterday, so we'll take a look
3:31
Speaker 2: at those after well in a couple of minutes. Actually
3:33
Speaker 2: just got nine minutes after five, Ran Bridge, and you're
3:36
Speaker 2: on News Talk s'db. Now the changes that Luis are
3:40
Speaker 2: sorry that Nicle m ckee announced yesterday on guns is
3:45
Speaker 2: a bit The whole announcement was a bit random because
3:48
Speaker 2: you've got the semi automatics, which is something that they
3:51
Speaker 2: wanted to do. You've got the gun register that's something
3:54
Speaker 2: that they wanted to get rid of, and they've done neither.
3:57
Speaker 2: So I don't know for a gun lobbyist. You know
4:00
Speaker 2: who's now the minister, she hasn't done very well. That
4:04
Speaker 2: would be the only criticism. But then you know, people
4:07
Speaker 2: like Fish and Game very happy with them, so we'll
4:09
Speaker 2: talk to them this morning as well. News Talks had been.
4:13
Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth
4:15
Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and r The Supercenter
4:20
Speaker 1: explore r v's accessories and servicing all in one news Talks.
4:24
Speaker 2: At b five twelve. The weirdest thing about all of
4:26
Speaker 2: this really is why Andrew Costa was reappointed After all
4:30
Speaker 2: of the fuss that Labor National made about labor and
4:34
Speaker 2: about Costa during COVID, why did they then go and
4:37
Speaker 2: put them into this new job at the Social Investment Agency.
4:41
Speaker 2: It was all very weird and the timeline is getting
4:45
Speaker 2: a bit murky for the current government. And I'm not
4:48
Speaker 2: saying the last one was we're angels. But Costa was
4:52
Speaker 2: appointed to this new job in September, and we know
4:56
Speaker 2: from yesterday that Mark Mitchell learned of the stuff with
5:00
Speaker 2: MC skimming and the affair and all of this stuff.
5:03
Speaker 2: He learned that on November sixth last year. Now, Costa,
5:09
Speaker 2: while he may have been appointed in September and everyone
5:12
Speaker 2: keeps talking about that, his term didn't start until the
5:15
Speaker 2: eleventh of November. So you've got a minister knowing about
5:20
Speaker 2: all this stuff on the sixth of November, and then
5:23
Speaker 2: you've got Costa starting his new job, which by the way,
5:26
Speaker 2: is a five year term on the eleventh So why
5:30
Speaker 2: did they go ahead with that? Why did they allow
5:32
Speaker 2: that term to start? That's a question for them. It's
5:34
Speaker 2: this morning thirteen and after five, Ryan Bridge, and you're
5:38
Speaker 2: on news Talk ZB right. New roadside drug testing is
5:41
Speaker 2: coming starts in Wellington next month, everywhere from April next year.
5:44
Speaker 2: Saliva test. This is for cannabis, meth, MDMA, ecstasy, that
5:48
Speaker 2: sort of stuff. Dylan Thompson is a road safety joining
5:52
Speaker 2: us this morning. Dylan, good morning, Good morning Ryan. Hey,
5:56
Speaker 2: this is going to make things safer.
5:59
Speaker 9: Absolutely, and we think this has been something that New
6:02
Speaker 9: Zealanders needed for a lot of years. We have had
6:05
Speaker 9: about one hundred road desks a year in recent times
6:09
Speaker 9: where subsequent tests have found drugs in the driver's system
6:13
Speaker 9: that were deemed to have likely played a role in
6:17
Speaker 9: the crash. So we're finally about to sort of catch
6:20
Speaker 9: up and start to have some decent enforcement tools to
6:23
Speaker 9: try and stop this.
6:25
Speaker 2: Okay, so that was going to be my next question.
6:26
Speaker 2: So they likely played a role in the crash, So
6:29
Speaker 2: thirty percent of crashes they had drugs in their system,
6:33
Speaker 2: not just that they also likely cause the crash.
6:37
Speaker 9: Well I would change that slightly and say that they
6:41
Speaker 9: played a role in the crash. So the crash investigations
6:44
Speaker 9: are done and a blood test gets done in a
6:48
Speaker 9: lab and it finds because not every driver involved in
6:52
Speaker 9: a fatal crash has their bloods tested for drugs. So
6:55
Speaker 9: it's a situation where the police officers investigating have thought,
7:00
Speaker 9: we would like to do a blood test and then
7:03
Speaker 9: they deem that we think that the drugs likely played
7:07
Speaker 9: a role in causing the crash.
7:09
Speaker 2: And can they tell because I think what the some
7:13
Speaker 2: of the concerns have been about this is about the
7:15
Speaker 2: level of So is someone impaired by drugs or do
7:18
Speaker 2: they just have them in their system? You know what
7:20
Speaker 2: I'm saying.
7:21
Speaker 9: Yeah, and that is trickier than alcohol, without a doubt.
7:27
Speaker 9: The tests that are being introduced in New Zealand, so
7:30
Speaker 9: the saliva tests are designed to try and detect recent
7:34
Speaker 9: use and so that is somebody is likely to have
7:40
Speaker 9: used one of those four drugs that are going to
7:42
Speaker 9: be tested for at the roadside within a couple of
7:47
Speaker 9: hours of getting in the car. That's that's the way
7:50
Speaker 9: they're designed to work and pick things up.
7:53
Speaker 2: And what about the because I note that they said
7:55
Speaker 2: it would take five minutes per car. Is this going
7:58
Speaker 2: to be rolled out like breathalyzing tests? And Zach, you know,
8:01
Speaker 2: is everyone going to be waiting in a line for
8:03
Speaker 2: four hours if they do this or is it just
8:05
Speaker 2: on a one on a one off basis that they
8:07
Speaker 2: see a car and then they pull it over and
8:09
Speaker 2: do that.
8:11
Speaker 9: The way it's going to work is what the law
8:13
Speaker 9: now allows is police have the ability to test any
8:18
Speaker 9: driver for drugs if they want to. But the way
8:22
Speaker 9: it's going to go in reality is we're not going
8:24
Speaker 9: to see drug testing done in the same volume, the
8:28
Speaker 9: same scale as the alcohol tests, the way it's normally
8:30
Speaker 9: done overseas as an alcohol test has done first, because
8:34
Speaker 9: that's pretty quick and if that comes back negative, but
8:37
Speaker 9: a police officer says this driver's behavior is making me
8:42
Speaker 9: think that they may be under the influence of something,
8:44
Speaker 9: then they can ask that person to pull over to
8:47
Speaker 9: the side of the road somewhere and go to a
8:49
Speaker 9: drug test, which the first one normally would be done
8:52
Speaker 9: in sort of three to five minutes.
8:54
Speaker 2: Dylan, appreciate your time this morning. Dan Thompson from AA
8:57
Speaker 2: at seventeen after five, Bryant Bridge, the Senate's past this bill.
9:01
Speaker 2: This is for the ending the shutdown over in the
9:04
Speaker 2: US sixty forty and unlike the Senate, the Republicans control
9:08
Speaker 2: the House, and they are the next to vote on it,
9:11
Speaker 2: and they don't need any Democrats to pass it, which
9:13
Speaker 2: you might think, well, that's great, it will sail through,
9:16
Speaker 2: not necessarily because they are split themselves. This is the
9:19
Speaker 2: Republicans on the tax credits for the health insurance and
9:22
Speaker 2: the reason is quite simple. You've got twenty four million
9:26
Speaker 2: Americans who rely on those tax credits. Without them, their
9:30
Speaker 2: access to health insurance would be cut off. And you
9:34
Speaker 2: have midterms next year. So are you handing if you
9:38
Speaker 2: go ahead with axing the tax credits, are you just
9:41
Speaker 2: handing the midterms to the Democrats? Eighteen after five News TALKSB.
9:47
Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day Early
9:50
Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and r V Supercenter explore RV's
9:54
Speaker 1: accessories and servicing all in one News TALKSB.
9:58
Speaker 2: It's funny watching the TV in the UK at the moment.
10:02
Speaker 2: Every morning I come in, there's a different head count
10:04
Speaker 2: for how many prisoners have been accidentally released from prison
10:08
Speaker 2: in the UK and are still at large. The count
10:11
Speaker 2: currently at three, and they're taking questions in the House
10:14
Speaker 2: on that at the moment. Actually we had not that
10:16
Speaker 2: they were accidentally or mistakenly released, but someone escaped custody.
10:21
Speaker 2: This is a Mount Eden prisoner and has been missing
10:25
Speaker 2: for days. They had a hospital escort and apparently we're
10:27
Speaker 2: handcuffed and they managed to escape like Houdini. The thing
10:31
Speaker 2: that gets me about the story, and I was quite
10:34
Speaker 2: aggravated about it yesterday, quite worked up, is that they
10:37
Speaker 2: didn't tell us this happened like four days ago. Why
10:40
Speaker 2: are we only finding out now? Do they just not?
10:43
Speaker 2: And what sort of criminal are we talking about they?
10:46
Speaker 2: Are they a murderer? Are they a mass murderer? Are
10:49
Speaker 2: they a rapist? I don't know what? And what was
10:52
Speaker 2: someone going to tell us? At what point was someone
10:54
Speaker 2: going to tell us? This is four days ago now,
10:56
Speaker 2: twenty one minutes after Fine bread Shun owners have been
10:59
Speaker 2: THEEF scratched their heads. This after yesterday's gun announcement. Nicole
11:02
Speaker 2: McKee won't reverse the semi automatic band, won't scrap the
11:05
Speaker 2: controversial firearms registry. What she will do is automatically banned
11:10
Speaker 2: gang members from getting firearms licenses. Sounds reasonable, make it
11:14
Speaker 2: easier for owners to store their firearms, and create an
11:16
Speaker 2: independent firearms safety body. Karina Jordan is fishing game CEO
11:20
Speaker 2: with me this morning. Karena good morning, Good morning. What
11:23
Speaker 2: did you make of the changes?
11:26
Speaker 10: Oh, we think there are pragmatic and sensible changes. I
11:29
Speaker 10: know there's probably going to be a little bit of
11:30
Speaker 10: appointment from some hunters out there. You mentioned the semi automatics,
11:34
Speaker 10: but we're just encouraging everyone to have a good look
11:36
Speaker 10: at the policy intent that's been set out, consider their submissions,
11:40
Speaker 10: and then select a submit to the Select Committee. So
11:43
Speaker 10: we think overall this is quite a balanced approach and
11:45
Speaker 10: that releases some of those overlie bureacatic approaches that can
11:49
Speaker 10: be taken to you know, legitimate firearms owners, while still
11:52
Speaker 10: focusing on criminal the criminal element in our community.
11:56
Speaker 2: And Karina, you're quite happy with the travel stuff. What's
12:00
Speaker 2: with the travel and taking firearms with you?
12:04
Speaker 10: Just clarifying those travel requirements. Obviously safe storage of firearms
12:09
Speaker 10: while we're traveling is really important, especially for our hunters.
12:12
Speaker 10: So it's just clarifying the conditions there and making them
12:14
Speaker 10: a little bit more streamlined so they're easy to understand.
12:17
Speaker 10: So you can travel with firearms, you just need to
12:19
Speaker 10: have your bault and your ammunition separate, and these conditions
12:22
Speaker 10: around how long you leave those firearms in the vehicle, unattended.
12:25
Speaker 2: For Okay, what about this red flag system for mental
12:29
Speaker 2: health issues.
12:31
Speaker 10: That's just what we know is that as parts of
12:35
Speaker 10: our community challenged by mental health just you know, throughout
12:38
Speaker 10: their lives, life have a little bit tough, and we
12:41
Speaker 10: don't want that stigma associated with firearms ownership. And what
12:44
Speaker 10: we know is it's really good for mental health and
12:46
Speaker 10: physical well being to get out there in the natural
12:48
Speaker 10: environment and hunt for your dinner. And this is a
12:51
Speaker 10: large part of huge parts of our community. And so
12:54
Speaker 10: this just means that there's more cautious. It's safer for
12:59
Speaker 10: people than have challenges to own and retain the ownership
13:03
Speaker 10: of their firearms and use them for legitimate hunting purposes,
13:07
Speaker 10: which is good for their well being.
13:09
Speaker 2: All right, Karina, appreciate your time, Karena Jordan Fish and
13:11
Speaker 2: Game CEO Times twenty three minutes after five, Ryan John says, Ryan,
13:15
Speaker 2: I don't understand why the female complainant made anonymous email
13:18
Speaker 2: complaints to police, as they never carry the same weight
13:21
Speaker 2: as an official complaint. Yes, look, I can't speak for her.
13:26
Speaker 2: I don't know why she did the things that made
13:28
Speaker 2: the complaints in the way that she did. But the
13:30
Speaker 2: point is once police got them, then they should have
13:34
Speaker 2: done something about them. You don't just ignore that and say, well,
13:38
Speaker 2: you know, we've had this guy around the office for
13:39
Speaker 2: a long time. We kind of trust him, and his
13:42
Speaker 2: version of events is the version of events. Let's arrest her.
13:46
Speaker 2: I mean, what on what planet? On what planet? Hey?
13:50
Speaker 2: Some good news I mentioned earlier we had the you know,
13:53
Speaker 2: because we've got November twenty sixth, we got an OCR
13:55
Speaker 2: decision from the Reserve Bank and basically we had the
13:58
Speaker 2: survey of expectations of out yesterday and there's no real change,
14:02
Speaker 2: which is good news, which means we should get another
14:05
Speaker 2: cut before Christmas. Twenty four after five the early.
14:09
Speaker 1: Edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio, how it by News Talks,
14:13
Speaker 1: it be.
14:16
Speaker 2: Twenty six after five News Talks, it'd be Costa is
14:18
Speaker 2: a dead man walking. At this point, anyone not completely
14:21
Speaker 2: brainwashed during COVID could see that there was just something
14:24
Speaker 2: a bit off about him, and this IPCA report is
14:26
Speaker 2: proof that basically they were right. He knew about this
14:29
Speaker 2: so called a fear mix skimming heads the woman had
14:32
Speaker 2: worked for police. He didn't ask the questions he should have.
14:35
Speaker 2: He promotes MC skimming, didn't tell the people he should
14:39
Speaker 2: have told about dodgy stuff, which makes it look well,
14:41
Speaker 2: just all the more dodgy, doesn't it. In August I
14:44
Speaker 2: asked Costa about mix skimming. A lot of your colleagues
14:48
Speaker 2: have said that they were sort of shocked to find out.
14:50
Speaker 2: Were you guys mates. I'm just not going to come
14:54
Speaker 2: in at the moment. I'm sorry, do you does it
14:57
Speaker 2: make you uncomfortable seeing him, you know, walk into court again?
15:03
Speaker 2: I just won't comment. Ryan. Of course, it's a really
15:05
Speaker 2: disturbing situation, but I'm not going to go into this
15:08
Speaker 2: until it's spind results. So no answers then, and still
15:10
Speaker 2: no answers now. We've asked to speak to him this morning.
15:13
Speaker 2: He's on leave. Nikola Willis gets tangled up in this too.
15:16
Speaker 2: Unfortunately for her, she recommended Costa for his current job.
15:21
Speaker 2: He's still got five years on his contract. She says,
15:25
Speaker 2: she's appalled, but she can't fire him. That's a job
15:27
Speaker 2: for Brian Roache, and I don't think there's any doubt
15:30
Speaker 2: that he's going to get the sack unless he resigns first.
15:32
Speaker 2: Of course, the whole thing is an absolute cluster. In
15:36
Speaker 2: a big government job like police commissioner, you got to
15:39
Speaker 2: cross the t's and dot the eyes. It's a seven
15:42
Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars a year job, and Costa wasn't up
15:45
Speaker 2: to the job. If he doesn't quit his current one,
15:48
Speaker 2: it's only a matter of time now before it's taken
15:50
Speaker 2: from him. The clock is ticking for Costa and for
15:54
Speaker 2: the front line. Sadly, respect and integrity take a lifetime
15:58
Speaker 2: to earn in a moment to lose. The are the
16:00
Speaker 2: ones who'll cop the backlash. They are the ones who
16:03
Speaker 2: have to actually talk to real people every day, and
16:07
Speaker 2: as of six o'clock last night, sadly their jobs just
16:09
Speaker 2: became a whole lot harder. Ryan Bridge, he talks there
16:13
Speaker 2: be twenty eight minutes after five. We'll talk to Louise
16:16
Speaker 2: Nichols about that just before six this morning. And also
16:20
Speaker 2: the email situation. So apparently this is according to Mark Mitchell.
16:26
Speaker 2: Apparently Costa says to the staff, because you have police
16:30
Speaker 2: staff working in the minister's office, right and he says
16:34
Speaker 2: to those people, this is Costa, don't send any of
16:37
Speaker 2: the emails about mix skimming to the minister and keep
16:40
Speaker 2: them away from his political staff. I mean, can a
16:44
Speaker 2: person who operates like that be running any kind of
16:47
Speaker 2: public office. No. Hey, house prices you know how they're
16:51
Speaker 2: a bit crap here, Well, unless you're buying a house,
16:53
Speaker 2: and then it's probably great your first house. In particular
16:56
Speaker 2: Over in Australia, it's fascinating what's watching what's going on
16:59
Speaker 2: there because their market basically has recovered all of the losses.
17:03
Speaker 2: You know. So we had COVID the boom and then
17:06
Speaker 2: everyone went down again. Australia's gone back up now reaching
17:10
Speaker 2: again record highs. Imagine if that was happening in Auckland
17:13
Speaker 2: right now, how different this city would be so accelerating
17:17
Speaker 2: the fastest pace in two years. Their prices jumped one
17:20
Speaker 2: point one percent for October alone, annual growth rate now
17:24
Speaker 2: up over six percent Perth and Darwin up over five percent,
17:30
Speaker 2: Brisbane not far behind. On four point nine, RBA is
17:34
Speaker 2: cutting news talks atb.
17:42
Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Brian

Speaker 1: Bridge and RV Supercenter. Explore RV's accessories and servicing all
17:51
Speaker 1: in one news talk stb Ah Yes.
17:56
Speaker 2: Twenty four away from six news talks. That'd be great
17:58
Speaker 2: to have your company. This morning we get to our
17:59
Speaker 2: reporters around the country. Shortly. We will also head to
18:02
Speaker 2: the UK. We've got a bb update for you and

Speaker 2: You know how I love giving you a COP update.
18:14
Speaker 2: COP thirty one is now in headlines, so currently they're
18:18
Speaker 2: doing COP thirty. This is in Brazil the Climate Change Conference,
18:23
Speaker 2: and one of the big disagreements at COPS nothing to
18:25
Speaker 2: do with climate change. It's basically who gets to host
18:28
Speaker 2: the next meeting. I'm not even kidding. This is what
18:29
Speaker 2: they're talking about and arguing about and lobbying each other
18:33
Speaker 2: for who gets to host the next one. Honestly, these
18:37
Speaker 2: guys look so tone deaf. You know, cost a living crisis,
18:41
Speaker 2: and you fly fifty thousand people to Brazil for a
18:45
Speaker 2: greene Davos. Half the world's polluters aren't even there. How
18:49
Speaker 2: do you justify this? It's basically become like a tourism event.
18:54
Speaker 2: It should all be done by zoom the whole thing. Anyway,
18:57
Speaker 2: it's Australia and Turkey apparently going coming to blows over
19:01
Speaker 2: who gets to do the next one. Twenty three minutes

Speaker 5: what appeared to be a gunshot wound on Monday night.
20:16
Speaker 5: Police says she had been shot at a property on
20:19
Speaker 5: Shortland Street. It happened just before nine o'clock that evening.
20:23
Speaker 5: Our newsroom has since learned that it was a drive
20:26
Speaker 5: by shooting, but the woman was not necessarily the intended
20:29
Speaker 5: target and may have been hit mistakenly. Detective Inspector Craig
20:33
Speaker 5: Farrant has confirmed that initial inquiries suggest that this was
20:37
Speaker 5: gang related. He says they are following some very good
20:40
Speaker 5: lines of inquiry at the moment searching for the offender
20:43
Speaker 5: who has fled the scene in a vehicle.
20:45
Speaker 2: How's your weather.
20:47
Speaker 5: Cloudy Simoorpatrie drizzle developing a bit later today, northeasterly strong
20:51
Speaker 5: and a high of seventeen.
20:52
Speaker 2: Thanks Claire Maxitt and Wellington's Morning Max Good morning morning.
20:55
Speaker 2: What's going on with Potador Council?
20:58
Speaker 11: Yeah, a curious outcome from last month's local elections. Pottydu
21:01
Speaker 11: up has not yet been able to swear in their
21:03
Speaker 11: councilors have a meeting look at some of the pressing
21:06
Speaker 11: issues there, like the water entity, district plan, et cetera.
21:10
Speaker 11: That's because of the remarkably close result in the Maori
21:13
Speaker 11: ward Kylie we Happy beating jested Huia by just eleven votes,
21:19
Speaker 11: enough for the latter to demand a recount at nine
21:21
Speaker 11: hundred and thirty six to nine hundred and twenty five.
21:23
Speaker 11: Nothing can happen now until that result is settled. The
21:26
Speaker 11: Potydoer District Court indeed granting the recount, saying there are
21:30
Speaker 11: reasonable grounds to believe the results might be incorrect. That's
21:33
Speaker 11: now going to take a couple of days. Anita Baker,
21:36
Speaker 11: the re elected mayor, incredibly frustrated. She's been calling for
21:39
Speaker 11: a law change already. To let them get on with
21:42
Speaker 11: council matters to WHOIA says, it's about transparency and trust.
21:46
Speaker 2: Okay, how's the weather in Wellington?

21:53
Speaker 11: into the twenties.
21:53
Speaker 2: All right, neighbors in Auckland, this one, thank you, Max Nava,

Speaker 12: meatballs with mash peace and jam, that's going to be
22:12
Speaker 12: on the menu. And I just said before that sounds
22:15
Speaker 12: a bit too heavy. I don't want to have meatballs.
22:17
Speaker 12: She said, oh, hello, they are world famous. Apparently the
22:21
Speaker 12: Ikea meatballs.
22:22
Speaker 2: Are just amazing peas and jam.
22:25
Speaker 12: Yeah, mash peace and jam. And they're also going to
22:28
Speaker 12: have you know, yakiwi fish and chops and all that.
22:30
Speaker 12: But apparently those meat people.
22:33
Speaker 2: Jam, Kenzy, if you tried this, do you know about this?
22:35
Speaker 2: Ah okay and Aussie and it's actually good?
22:39
Speaker 12: Yes, well here you go. But they're also going to
22:42
Speaker 12: have you know, stuff like pevlova. They're going to have people.
22:45
Speaker 2: Going to Ikea to buy furniture or to buy finish
22:48
Speaker 2: ja and eat food.
22:49
Speaker 12: Well you know what New Zealanders are like, probably.
22:51
Speaker 2: Two bucks, so weird.
22:53
Speaker 12: I know, we are a weird budge And apparently Ikea
22:56
Speaker 12: saying that it conducted five hundred home visits across the country,
23:00
Speaker 12: so this was able they were able to create this
23:03
Speaker 12: wonderful menu about what they're going to have by doing that. Well,
23:06
Speaker 12: every day New Zealanders.
23:08
Speaker 2: And they came up with peas and jam, Jam.
23:11
Speaker 12: What's the is these world famous flippin' We'll have to
23:14
Speaker 12: go and have a look at these metros and see
23:16
Speaker 12: what all the fuss is about. But yeah, Jam, it
23:18
Speaker 12: sounds and she doesn't sound very nice one now I
23:20
Speaker 12: feel like it's.
23:20
Speaker 2: Sick, sounds weird. How's our weather?
23:22
Speaker 12: Rain, heavy falls, thunderstorms, Oh my god, it's all coming
23:25
Speaker 12: strong wins, gale force wins up to one hundred k.
23:27
Speaker 12: I'm not lying. A high twenty one.
23:29
Speaker 2: Brilliant, never, thank you. Eighteen minutes away from six News Talks,
23:32
Speaker 2: there'd be hey, lots of people texting. And Ryan Costa
23:35
Speaker 2: was a deurns man. She personally picked him for the job.
23:38
Speaker 2: This is from Andy, presumably not Andy Costa. Ryan. Question
23:44
Speaker 2: is who put Costa in chart?
23:46
Speaker 3: Yeah?
23:46
Speaker 2: All of those things are true. But you read there's
23:49
Speaker 2: plausible deniability that the politicians then didn't know you read
23:53
Speaker 2: this report didn't know any of what was going at
23:56
Speaker 2: least that's the strong impression it leaves they had no
24:00
Speaker 2: idea what was going on, even though it was being
24:03
Speaker 2: flagged and pushed up the food chain at police. That
24:06
Speaker 2: the politicians were kept at arm's length until late last year,
24:11
Speaker 2: so there's kind of plausible deniability for them. Eighteen minutes
24:14
Speaker 2: away from six Louis Nickels on that before six, and
24:17
Speaker 2: we're in the UK next quarter to six. On news talks,
24:20
Speaker 2: there'd be Ryan Ikere meatballs are awesome for hangovers. Okay,
24:23
Speaker 2: so if you hungover, go to k I could think
24:25
Speaker 2: of nothing worse. Why would you go to Ikea with
24:28
Speaker 2: a hangover? Terrible idea. Anyway, lots of people saying their
24:31
Speaker 2: meatballs apparently are going to be fantastic when the store
24:33
Speaker 2: finally opens. Good luck getting You might get cheap furniture
24:37
Speaker 2: at Ikea, but good luck getting it shipped around the country.
24:40
Speaker 2: So we're getting an update. This is from the Ports
24:42
Speaker 2: of Auckland, an industry update. I've already told you about
24:46
Speaker 2: how much you will have to pay if you're a
24:48
Speaker 2: road freighting company. Port of Auckland fees one hundred and
24:51
Speaker 2: thirty dollars per container at peak times. Peak times are
24:55
Speaker 2: five am to six pm. That is going up to
24:58
Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty dollars in twenty twenty six, and
25:02
Speaker 2: by January twenty twenty seven that is going up to
25:04
Speaker 2: three hundred and fifty dollars, so from one hundred and
25:07
Speaker 2: thirty to three hundred and fifty dollars at peak time.
25:10
Speaker 2: The problem is, and this is what Transporting New Zealand
25:13
Speaker 2: is saying that the freight customers generally you only have
25:17
Speaker 2: the capacity, the manpower everything to do stuff during business hours.
25:23
Speaker 2: So the idea is that you will move freight off
25:25
Speaker 2: the road to off peak times. That us saying, actually know,
25:27
Speaker 2: all you do is keep the same freight on the
25:30
Speaker 2: roads at on peak times and charge them more.
25:33
Speaker 1: International correspondence with ends an eye insurance, peace of mind
25:37
Speaker 1: for New Zealand business.
25:39
Speaker 2: Kevin Gray, UK correspondent with US this morning. Gavin, the
25:43
Speaker 2: BBC bosses that are all coming out and the woodwork
25:46
Speaker 2: and basically saying we need to defend journalism.
25:50
Speaker 6: Indeed, so yes, good morning to you. Ryan. The outgoing
25:53
Speaker 6: BBC boss Tim dave has spoken to her staff today
25:56
Speaker 6: and said that the British Broadcasting Corporation must fight for
25:59
Speaker 6: our journalist after widespread criticism for the editing of a
26:02
Speaker 6: documentary about Donald Trump. Now Davey used the word proud
26:06
Speaker 6: almost a dozen times and he sounded well remarkably upbeat
26:10
Speaker 6: and that is remarkably upbeat for the head of an
26:13
Speaker 6: organization threatened with a one billion pound legal action that's
26:17
Speaker 6: roughly two point three billion New Zealand dollars.
26:20
Speaker 7: Now.
26:20
Speaker 6: Donald Trump has issued three demands from the BBC. He
26:23
Speaker 6: wants an apology, a retraction, and compensation and warns that
26:27
Speaker 6: if he doesn't get it by Friday, he'll file that
26:30
Speaker 6: legal action. The BBC boss has resigned and the spotlight
26:34
Speaker 6: now really falls on how the BBC is funded. Its
26:37
Speaker 6: current charter runs out at the end of twenty twenty seven,
26:41
Speaker 6: and there's a debate over its future funding, with sixty
26:44
Speaker 6: five percent of the eleven billion New Zealand dollar budget
26:48
Speaker 6: coming from the annual license fee each year.
26:51
Speaker 2: Now, unemployment's up hit five percent in.
26:54
Speaker 6: The UK, yes, and that is higher than many experts
26:58
Speaker 6: had predicted. It's the bias rate since twenty twenty one,
27:02
Speaker 6: and now the Bank of England has come out and
27:04
Speaker 6: said actually, it predicts is going to be at five
27:06
Speaker 6: percent for the next few years. One point seven million
27:09
Speaker 6: people are claiming unemployment benefit. The average wage growth has
27:14
Speaker 6: reached four point six percent. That's down a little from
27:17
Speaker 6: the previous period public sector though six point six percent
27:21
Speaker 6: private sector four point two percent, and many people are
27:25
Speaker 6: saying we need to rein back in on those public
27:27
Speaker 6: sector settlements. And incidentally, these figures also suggest the jobs
27:31
Speaker 6: market here is weakening.
27:33
Speaker 2: Thanks so much for that, Kevin grad UK europe correspondent,
27:35
Speaker 2: Time as twelve away from six Bryan Bridge. This IPC
27:39
Speaker 2: air report on MC skimming and the top dogs at
27:41
Speaker 2: police instead of investigating a complaint from a young woman
27:44
Speaker 2: whom Skimming hid in affear with senior officers, instead believed
27:48
Speaker 2: MC skimming's version of events, arrested the woman, charged it
27:51
Speaker 2: with harassment. Costin knew about the whole thing. He's on
27:54
Speaker 2: leave from his new big government job. Judith Collins was
27:57
Speaker 2: asked of this is all corruption?
27:58
Speaker 9: Well, I think if it walks a duck and it
28:00
Speaker 9: quacks like a duck, it's not looking.
28:02
Speaker 3: Good, is it.
28:03
Speaker 2: Here's Chambers.
28:04
Speaker 9: But this report speaks for itself.
28:07
Speaker 13: I have no doubt that people will interpret the report
28:10
Speaker 13: in their own way.
28:11
Speaker 12: It's left more than just police people down. It's let
28:13
Speaker 12: New Zuerlanders down because this is this is disgraceful behavior.
28:17
Speaker 2: Louise Nicholas is with our sexual violence survivor and advocates.
28:20
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Ryan What did you think reading that?
28:25
Speaker 13: Oh yeah, pretty pretty disgusted and saddened by the whole thing.
28:30
Speaker 2: To be fair, are you surprised?
28:34
Speaker 13: I'd like to say yes, but as we know, you know,
28:39
Speaker 13: you get dumb and dumber in all any organization, and
28:43
Speaker 13: it wasn't a matter of if this would happen again.
28:45
Speaker 13: It was a matter of.
28:46
Speaker 2: When that's saying, I'm going to inspect a general in
28:50
Speaker 2: there to kind of fix things up. Do you think
28:52
Speaker 2: that's a good move?
28:54
Speaker 13: Well, yeah, I think so. To be fair, it just
28:58
Speaker 13: if you've got somebody stern or in there with a
29:03
Speaker 13: better insight and having that overlook of the whole organization,
29:09
Speaker 13: keeping everybody on their toes. Yeah, I think it's not
29:13
Speaker 13: a bad idea.
29:14
Speaker 2: You were an advisor to police for a week while there,
29:17
Speaker 2: weren't you? Are you still doing that job?
29:19
Speaker 13: Well? I what I do with police is trainings with
29:23
Speaker 13: the adult sexual assault teams twice a year, and I
29:28
Speaker 13: work close with police supporting survivors going through the criminal
29:33
Speaker 13: justice system.
29:34
Speaker 2: It's those frontline staff. Mandy's just text to show Ryan
29:37
Speaker 2: who I feel sorry for. And this whole thing is
29:39
Speaker 2: your average hard working police officers. I mean, they'll be
29:42
Speaker 2: absolutely raging about this.
29:45
Speaker 13: Oh, without a doubt it's and what Mixed Skimming and
29:50
Speaker 13: the others have done does not define our New Zealand police.
29:54
Speaker 13: It does not at all. They're hard working. They do
29:57
Speaker 13: a damn good job on the front line. Actually with
30:00
Speaker 13: our survivors of sexual violence and family violence.
30:03
Speaker 2: You have much to do with Costa not really, No,
30:07
Speaker 2: what do you think of his partner all this?
30:10
Speaker 7: Yeah?
30:11
Speaker 13: See that that's where I get angry that you know,
30:14
Speaker 13: the top cop allowed this to happen, and that to
30:19
Speaker 13: me was sure, Yeah, no words for him to be fair.
30:24
Speaker 2: And he's got a he's sitting right now as we
30:26
Speaker 2: speak on a five year contract with a new government job.
30:32
Speaker 13: Yeah, but he's got a lot to answer for around
30:34
Speaker 13: this and he needs to front it.
30:38
Speaker 2: Rooys, appreciate your time this morning. Thank you for being
30:40
Speaker 2: with me Luise Nichols on the police and the IPCA report.
30:43
Speaker 2: It is nine to six News Talks Big.
30:47
Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iheard Radio early edition
30:51
Speaker 1: with Ryan Bridge and are the Supercenter explore these accessories
30:56
Speaker 1: and servicing more than one news.
30:58
Speaker 2: Talks biks the six on News Talk it'd be yes.
31:01
Speaker 2: So there's no doubt that Costa comes out of this
31:02
Speaker 2: looking well terrible, and he's probably going to lose his job.
31:07
Speaker 2: Mike's in here with you next, Good morning, Mike morning. Yeah,
31:10
Speaker 2: probably probably about time. Why did they hire him for
31:13
Speaker 2: the new job? Anyway?
31:14
Speaker 4: Okay, So so Chambers and Mitchell will be on this morning.
31:18
Speaker 4: So I think that you will find that they didn't know,
31:23
Speaker 4: because the inference that you're making there is that why
31:26
Speaker 4: would you hire somebody who's dodgy? They didn't know he
31:29
Speaker 4: was dodgy, because obviously if they knew he was dodgy
31:32
Speaker 4: and went ahead with the appointment, then they had donkey
31:34
Speaker 4: deep in it as.
31:34
Speaker 2: Well, and they're not.
31:36
Speaker 4: So they didn't know when he was appointed, and so
31:38
Speaker 4: it's only retrospectively that everyone suddenly stumbled upon this.
31:42
Speaker 2: But the problem for them is that because they keep
31:44
Speaker 2: saying on where he was appointed in September. So I
31:48
Speaker 2: heard you they start date. I heard that.
31:52
Speaker 4: I think you will find by the time we get
31:53
Speaker 4: to Mitchell this morning, he'll be able to explain that
31:55
Speaker 4: fairly clearly, Okay, because if what you're saying is correct,
32:00
Speaker 4: then somebody somewhere is looking at a bloke that they
32:02
Speaker 4: know is under question. Yes, And then carried on with
32:06
Speaker 4: the job, which there or didn't tell enough people. We
32:09
Speaker 4: didn't tell it didn't it didn't tell enough. And there's
32:11
Speaker 4: the email question around, and Mitchell's office got a whole
32:14
Speaker 4: bunch of emails and cost to then sort of ring
32:16
Speaker 4: fence that and said don't show the minister and stuff
32:18
Speaker 4: like that. But the whole thing, I mean, there's several
32:21
Speaker 4: things about it, but the most important thing I think
32:23
Speaker 4: personally is that do we wake up this morning believing
32:27
Speaker 4: all of a sudden that the cops are crooked? And
32:30
Speaker 4: I don't think we do. I mean, the guy who's
32:32
Speaker 4: pulling you over this weekend, you're not going to use
32:34
Speaker 4: a bit you wonder if he's one of the group.
32:35
Speaker 2: No, but there'll be a certain group within society who
32:39
Speaker 2: were already on the fence, and for them, of course,
32:41
Speaker 2: that's will tip them over the years. And that just
32:43
Speaker 2: makes that that job of the front line officer doesn't.
32:47
Speaker 4: Help one hundred per cent. And I think I think
32:49
Speaker 4: they said that yesterday. The other thing is I think
32:51
Speaker 4: it's rigging fence to five or six people. And if
32:53
Speaker 4: you followed the story, not that it's been a story
32:56
Speaker 4: until yesterday, but if you followed the news closely, you'll
32:59
Speaker 4: have seen a couple of retirements in the last retired
33:04
Speaker 4: in the last couple of months, and you can now
33:06
Speaker 4: join those dots together.
33:07
Speaker 2: And that's where that is.
33:08
Speaker 4: The other question I'm interested in with those individuals is
33:12
Speaker 4: whether that's in competence or whether you're entering a criminal sphere.
33:17
Speaker 4: So in covering something up or not doing something, are
33:21
Speaker 4: you acting criminally or.
33:23
Speaker 2: You just depends on your intention? Right, a low renter,
33:25
Speaker 2: And when you read there were a lot of low
33:27
Speaker 2: renters around by the sounds of it. But when you
33:30
Speaker 2: read this report, it's time and time again. Costa says,
33:34
Speaker 2: I said this in the interview, I said this, and
33:37
Speaker 2: the thing I declared this, and then the woman who's
33:39
Speaker 2: the independent woman comes and says, I know that never happened.
33:42
Speaker 2: It's never happened.
33:43
Speaker 4: Interesting thing, But I'm led to believe that Costa still
33:45
Speaker 4: doesn't believe he's done anything wrong, which is the other
33:49
Speaker 4: side of the equation. Did you believe mcskimming because you
33:53
Speaker 4: know him and he couldn't possibly lie, and therefore you're
33:57
Speaker 4: naive and an idiot, But you didn't nefuriously that's the
34:01
Speaker 4: other question.
34:02
Speaker 2: So what do you guys, I say Chambers and Mitchell
34:03
