• 0:32
  Speaker 2: least fix it. Mitch McCann is with us from the
• 0:35

  Speaker 2: seventy two people, Escaye report into how it happened has
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: been released. It's found the cladding manufacturer was aware of
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: the risk of the fire, which it deliberately concealed share
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: of the Grenfell Tower inquiry, Sir Martin Morbick, the dusks.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: That occurred were all avoidable, and those who lived in
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: the tower were badly failed over a number of years
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: and in a number of different ways by those who
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: were responsible for ensuring the safety of the building and
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: its occupants.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: That is bad. Police are investigating. The Pharmaceutical Society has
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: found an eighty percent increase in patients consulting pharmacists after
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: being unable to access a GP. It surveyed more than
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: four hundred members, also revealing over ninety percent of community
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: hospital pharmacies have experienced staff shortages, so you've got more
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: people coming fewer staff. President Michael Hammond says it's become
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: an unsustainable sector.
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: There's an urgent need for solutions to the understandable workload,
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: the inadequate funding and the supply tamsation shortages. There conscious
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: no matter where they're working.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: There you go this is bad news. Well is it
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: bad news? This is space news. European Space Agency says
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: an asteroids is expected to strike Earth's atmosphere near the
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Philippines right about now. Leo Has it hit yet? Do
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: we know any reports of damage. Not unusual, apparently. It's
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: one meter in diameter spotted overnight. Asteroids of this size
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: usually hit our atmosphere around every two weeks apparently, but
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: this is only the ninth one to be spotted before
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: making entry.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: The news you need this morning and the in depth
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Zealand's furniture beds and a flying store news talks.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: It'd be I suppose we don't really care. Well, I mean,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: we care, but it's not going to hit us, it's
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: going to hit the Philippines. If it's going to hit anywhere.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: It's only one meter wide. Interesting though, that they've only
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: been able to spot nine of them before they hit earth.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: I thought we'd be better than that. I thought, you know,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: it's small. If it was bigger, would they know more?
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know. And yeah, surely surely you'd get more
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: than a few hours notice because they only spotted this
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: and a couple of hours before it hit anyway, I
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: digress nine two is the number to text if anyone's
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: seen any fireballs in the sky. Lots to talk about
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: this morning. Greta Thunburg has been arrested again this has
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: just come out of a Copenhagen. She was blocking the
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: entrance to a building with some of her friends. Actually,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: we've got the audio of that. Leo, she's blocking the
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: entrance to a building, got arrested. It's not carbon that
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: she's complaining about this time.
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: You are hello, you are noll you ah, no, you.
• 3:44
  Speaker 7: Are no lo.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah. See, when you're a professional protester, that's what you do.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: You move on to something else. So it's Palestine when
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: you know, the gas is not the big issue today,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: fossil fuels, it's Palestine. So anyway, she's been arrested again
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: and along with six others from that group. In the US,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Biden is apparently about to accuse Russia of interfering in
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: their elections. Again. This is the election that hasn't even
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: happened yet. This is a CBS report. They reckon criminal
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: charges are coming and misinformation videos and content spread online
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: are the culprit. Honestly, if a country's so stupid that
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: some fake memes can throw a democratic election, haven't you
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: got bigger problems that's coming soon. Apparently we might ask
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Mitch McCann about that as well. He'll be with us
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: just after the News at five point thirty this morning
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: at SISCNE eleven after five Brian back home here in
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: New Zealand. King You two hat will be laid to
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: rest today in a ceremony from ten am. They'll also
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: announce the new leader, the new monarch of the king
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Etanger movement. I have to say, what an incredible display
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: of loyalty and respect from the oratory on the Marye
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: to the traditions, the ceremony. It has been a beautiful
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: thing to watch. I have to say, the coffin lying
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: in state and everyone addressing the family around it, you know,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: the stories of the deceased, and it's quite beautiful, quite beautiful.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, And I know there be people saying, oh
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: well co governance and I mean, say what you want
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: about co governance and language and you know the role
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: of the treaty. They are valid debates to have. But
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: also this is a culture to be treasured and respected,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: isn't it just gone? Twelve minutes after five? Back with
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Sam Stubbs next.
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: Where did you want?
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Told me you'll be days like this?
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Get ahead of the headlines. Ryan Bridge You for twenty
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: twenty four on early edition with Smith City, New Zealand's
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: furniture beds and a Planet store.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: News Talk said be fourteen, after five calls, latest monthly
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: reporter is out on home values the Home Value Index.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: It says that it's still weak. For August, values are
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: down point five percent nationally. That is the sixth consecutive
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: fall and they had to revise the data from last month,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: which means that the total fall this is nationally, the
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: total fall since February three point seven percent nationally, or
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: around thirty one thousand dollars lower. So you probably should
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: feel on average thirty one thousand dollars poorer today than
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: you did in February fourteen. After five Ray and Bridge
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: press calls for Kiwi Saver changes, possibly meaning that your
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: boss could be on the hook to stump up some
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: more cash for your retirement. The Financial Services Council has
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: found one in five Kiwis don't have enough retirement savings
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: to get them through the next year. Seventy nine percent
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: of us are currently using Kiwi Saver, which is good,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: but we are not saving enough to be comfortable once
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: we are there. Sam Stubbs is the simplicity Kiwisa have
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: a fun founder. Sam, Good morning, Good morning, good to
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: have you on the show. Do you what changes do
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: we need to make? Is it? Is it the contributions?
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Does it? Do we need more than seventy nine percent
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: of kiwis and KIWI saving?
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, Look, I think I think two really big
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: changes that needed. Ryan. First of all is you know,
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: we're really getting to the point now where it has
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: to be compulsory. That's much more normal overseas, certainly the
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: case in Australia because you know, it's all very well,
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: that's seventy nine percent of saving, but those twenty one
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: percent will have you know, nothing or almost nothing when
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: they retire, and that ultimately means the taxpayers pay for
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: all of it as well. So we have to get
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: to compulsion and I think we're kind of heading in
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: that direction. The other one is the contributions have to
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: go up, you know, to give you another contrast, In
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: Australia people save on average about twelve percent of their salary.
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: In New Zealand it's half that. And in Australia it's
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: the employer who pays all of the contributions. The employed
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: doesn't pay anything. And we can get to that point, right,
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: I mean, I know it's taking money out of people's
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: pockets if you're basically making them save rather than spend
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: right now, because you can achieve that by just doing
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: it in very slow increments. In Australia it actually took
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: twelve years for them to get to twelve percent. It
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: might take a step long as well.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: So you're ye percent a year because we're at what
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: the compulsory employer at the moment is three percent, So
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: you would look at a phased approach because I think
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: they're at eleven and a half or twelve as you
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: said in Australia, so it's going to take a while
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: to get it up there. But you'll have employee as
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: employers saying we can't afford that.
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and look, you know someone's going to have to pay. Ultimately,
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: we New Zealanders pay, whether it's the employee or the employer.
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: We will have to start saving more. I'd even do
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: less than that right as you do half a percent
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: a year. Just make it really slow and gradual. The
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: most important thing is not deep the amount short term,
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: it's the amount long term you're saving. If it takes
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: us a longer period of times to get there, that's fine,
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: we can do that, but let's let's get that train
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: leaving the station. So we as a nation safe were
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: because we know Ryan personally, if we saved more, we
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: have more options you know in life later on. Well
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: as a nation, if we saved more, we'll have more
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: options too.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Sam, thank you very much for that. Great to
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: have you on the show that Sam Stubbs Ceriplicity. Key
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: we save a fund manager talking about the latest report
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: from the Financial Services Council. Lots of US one and
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: five of us don't have enough retirement savings to get
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: through the next year based and that's based on your
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: current spending, so your current lifestyle, you wouldn't be able
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: to sustain nine two nine two US number to text.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: How do we feel about compulsory keyp saver. I don't
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: like compulsory anything, but you do look at the Australians
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: and you think, well, they've got it pretty good, and
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: they've been doing it for so long, and they've got
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: all that capital which they're able to invest, and we're
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: at what three percent? And I know because that's the
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: thought if you're a boss, if you're an employer, of
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: adding to that one percent a year, one percent a
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: year or whatever it might be. I mean, you'll be
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: pulling your hair out at the moment, wouldn't you. Eighteen
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: minutes after five nine two nine two is an under
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: text Ian Jones.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: Next on your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early Edition
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: and a Plying Store News Talk z'd be.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Just before six, we're talking to Sue Chetwyn. She formerly
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: a consumer in z you'll know her name from when
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: she headed that organization. She's now with the Grocery Action
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Group and she's calling for change after this grocery report
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: said basically, nothing has changed in the grocery world's competition,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: not as good as it should be, et cetera, et cetera,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: et cetera. I wonder whether we're not being fed a
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: bit of false hope here. So when they started all
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: of this, they said there was a million dollars per
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: day in excess profits, that they were making a million
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: dollars a day. So that's three hundred and sixty five
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: million dollars a year. Divide that by five million people.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Because we all eat, that's seventy three dollars per year
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: per person. That's a dollar forty per week, per Is
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: that going to change your life?
• 11:04
  Speaker 8: You know?
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: And how much have we spent on all the reports
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: and all of the grocery commissioner.
• 11:08
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: We'll talk to Sue Chepwan about that. Just before six
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: twenty one, after five Bridge reports that New Zealand Rugby
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: is close to signing an eight match tour of South
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Africa in twenty twenty six. They are just reports at
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: this stage. It's a story by South African news outlet
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: The Daily Maverick, quoting the South Africa Rugby Chief executive
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: saying officials from both nations met before last weekend's tests.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: It's been thirty years since we last toured in South Africa.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Ian Jones was on that tour and he's with us
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: this morning.
• 11:36
  Speaker 8: Good morning, yeah, good morning, ride, Good morning, dear listeners.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Great to have you on. Fond memories.
• 11:43
  Speaker 8: Yeah, fantastic, absolute trip of a lifetime over does happen,
• 11:47
  Speaker 8: and it's wonderful news if they are planning that Ryan.
• 11:50
  Speaker 8: Wonderful news for the players but also for the fans
• 11:54
  Speaker 8: of builders. You know, if you can please get yourself over,
• 11:56
  Speaker 8: there be a trip that you're meant for. Incredible the
• 12:00
  Speaker 8: tour to play in and maybe our greatest rivals. So yeah,
• 12:03
  Speaker 8: good news.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Why did they stop, Well.
• 12:07
  Speaker 8: I guess the calendar, Ryan, is only fifty two weeks.
• 12:10
  Speaker 8: So yeah, there's a lot of rugby to pour in
• 12:13
  Speaker 8: all of these different places. Test matches bring in the
• 12:16
  Speaker 8: big crowds, I guess. But maybe if there's a desire
• 12:19
  Speaker 8: now to go back to the old take our players
• 12:23
  Speaker 8: to the lights of Patchastrom Kimberly, Paul Elizabeth, those places
• 12:28
  Speaker 8: outside the major cities we played tests. It's wonderful, Yeah,
• 12:31
  Speaker 8: wonderful news.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Would it affect I mean, you mentioned the calendar. Isn't
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: the calendar full? Now?
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: You know?
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Would it affect other competitions?
• 12:40
  Speaker 8: I guess I'll have to affect other competitions, Ryan, But
• 12:42
  Speaker 8: maybe they see there's a window there that they can
• 12:46
  Speaker 8: kind of lock and maybe, let's hope it's up to
• 12:49
  Speaker 8: eight weeks, maybe not that long. Even if it's five weeks, Ryan,
• 12:54
  Speaker 8: if that's possible with the time and planning and you're
• 12:58
  Speaker 8: saying they're looking at twenty twenty six, I guess it's
• 13:01
  Speaker 8: enough to lock it in. But I'll tell you what, Ryan,
• 13:06
  Speaker 8: I mean, I think I'll keep some players here to
• 13:08
  Speaker 8: want to play go on that tour. Said for the
• 13:11
  Speaker 8: fans of New Zealand, all Black fans, trip of a lifetime,
• 13:14
  Speaker 8: that you can get yourself over there. So there's a
• 13:17
  Speaker 8: lot of upside.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: You mentioned keeping players the all Blacks obviously making some
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: decisions or sticking to their guns around you know, sharing
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: the players around. What do you think of that?
• 13:28
  Speaker 8: One hundred percent agree with it. I've got to say
• 13:31
  Speaker 8: Ryan really really important for New Zealand rugby as a whole,
• 13:34
  Speaker 8: both our domestic competitions, keep our stars in New Zealand
• 13:40
  Speaker 8: that we pick internally, you're playing our competitions that lure
• 13:44
  Speaker 8: that Black Jersey's very strong. So no, fully support our decision.
• 13:48
  Speaker 8: We live in a different part of the world and
• 13:50
  Speaker 8: say that everything of a different policy to us, But
• 13:53
  Speaker 8: I believe it works for us, and I think it's
• 13:55
  Speaker 8: a pretty strong commitment for those players to play in
• 13:58
  Speaker 8: New Zealand, to work the way into it all Black
• 14:01
  Speaker 8: Jersey and writ within us like they do.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, hey we're coming back on Sunday in Cape Town.
• 14:07
  Speaker 8: Well yeah, oh we are coming back mate. We were
• 14:12
  Speaker 8: right at that hunt and Johannesbury. We ran out of
• 14:15
  Speaker 8: gas at altitude. We now Sea level. We have a
• 14:17
  Speaker 8: big fan base down in Cape Town. Well you know,
• 14:22
  Speaker 8: Cere will play better. They went at their absolute best
• 14:26
  Speaker 8: and Joe Berg we had some chances that we didn't take.
• 14:29
  Speaker 8: So yeah, we're another compelling, another story Ryan in this
• 14:33
  Speaker 8: wonderful rivalry that we have.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Brilliant, lovely to have you on the show. Ian Jones,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: former All Black with us talking about the possibility at
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: the stage of the All Blacks resuming a full tour
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: to South Africa in twenty twenty six. Lots of your
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: text coming in on keep Saver.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: That's next the early edition full show podcast on I
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: Radio powered by news Dogs at Me.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: So based on the calculations that I have done on
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: the back of an envelope which you probably shouldn't trust,
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: but according to the grocery don't want to call them wings,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: but the people the group who are upset about the
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: monopoly duopoly that's happening in our grocery sector, you could
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: save at most per person about seventy four dollars per
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: year if they were to have perfect competition in the sector,
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: which obviously would be very hard to achieve. Do you
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: know what else costs you eighty dollars a year. A
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: friend and I were chatting at the gym the other
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: day and he showed me his rates bill, which he
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: had kindly brought to the gym to encourage him to
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: run faster. Anyway, there's an eighty dollar targeted rate for
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: the food compost bin, and he said, what's that for?
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: And I was like, it's the green bin that's on
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: the street that no one uses. Then he was running
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: faster than I've ever seen him run on the treadmill anyway.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: So apparently sixty to sixty five percent of us don't
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: use them. And if you walk down this is the
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: food scrapspin. They know they have them in other parts
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: of the country. In Auckland, we've only got them just recently,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: so we're all getting a bit used to them. But
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: eighty dollars a year is what you have to pay.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: And I got quite angry when I thought about because
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: we were talking. If you're on a fixed income, eighty
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: dollars a year is a lot of money. If you're
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: a pensioner and you cannot opt out of this service,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: who else can charge you for a service that you
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: don't want or need. What about a pensioner who's you know,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: does her own or hurt his own composting in the backyard.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: They can't opt out of it. They have to have
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: this bin and they have to pay eighty dollars per
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: year for the privilege. It's like your barber sending like
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: a barber giving a lady a bed trimmer and saying, here,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: I'm going to charge you for that. I don't need it.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Oh well you have to have it? Why? Just cause?
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: And you know what, They're all made of plastic, these bins.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: So how's that for the environment? Twenty nine and after five,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Bryan Bridge, Lots more to come on the show. We're
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: going to get to Mitch mccannast after the news at
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: five point thirty. Lots of your text coming in as well.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Now this is about the asteroid that hit Earth. Don't worry,
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: it was all near the Philippines. Ryan. They can't find
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: the missing plane from ten years ago, so we really
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: can't expect them to see an asteroid coming that's a
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: meter wide to Earth, can we? Good point Marty Hi, Ryan,
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: employers might be happier to pay one percent more and
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: kep saver each year if the company tax rate decreases
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: by one percentage point. It's each year. Good luck with that.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: One news and views you trust to start your day.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: It's early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New
• 17:38

• 17:56
  Speaker 2: you this morning. Lots of texts coming in on those
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: pesky green bins in Auckland. This is the composting bins.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Ryan.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't they attract rats? Says Donna. Yeah, I think they would, Donna.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: They also are so small they blow away when it's windy, Ryan.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Those plastic compost bins can suck it, says Phil Ryan.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: And Fong and Nui. We have to pay two hundred
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: dollars for the stupid plastic bins, and my house is
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: one hundred meters from the road. I do notice that
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: some dogs enjoy peeing on them, and a bit of
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: free dining as well, says John John. Nice to hear
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: from you this morning. Lots of text also on Superannuation.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: We'll get to those shortly, Mitch McCann. Out of the
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: US new polls for Carmela and for Trump, we'll hear
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: the latest there and we'll get to Sue Chetwyn before six.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: She's taking on the supermarket Duopoli there very quickly. I've
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: got thirty seconds.
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: That beluga whale, the white one, the Russian one that
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: everyone thinks is a spy because it turned up and
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: was friendly with humans, found in Norway, has become famous,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: got its own tracking device now people love it. Died
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: on the weekend. Mysterious circumstances. Overnight we have found out
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: that Valdemir was shot multiple times. Very sad. Not sure
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: who shot it, whether it was the Russians coming back,
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: worried about the intelligence that was sharing from the coastline.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but there you go. They reckon that Veldemir,
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: the world's most famous beluga whale spy, has been shot.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: It's twenty two away from six.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: Bryan Bridge, I don't know.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Our reporters around the country, starting with Jamie Cunningham, who's
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: with us Dunedin News this morning. Jamie tell us about
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: this rate the bill, I should say for ratepayers because
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: of Nobby Clark.
• 19:45
  Speaker 9: Yes, so in the cargo, ratepayers have been forced to
• 19:48
  Speaker 9: fork out tens of thousands to pay for the Emir's
• 19:51
  Speaker 9: Code of Conduct complaints Local Democracy reportings is a total
• 19:55
  Speaker 9: of sixty thousand dollars were spent in relation to complaints
• 19:59
  Speaker 9: over Knobbig Clark's behavior at a United Fire Brigades Association
• 20:03
  Speaker 9: event and the use of offensive language and a TV interview.
• 20:07
  Speaker 9: Both complaints were upheld in midyear meetings and the mayor
• 20:10
  Speaker 9: has since apologized. Investigating the Fire Brigades event cost more
• 20:15
  Speaker 9: than forty two thousand dollars, while the investigation into his
• 20:18
  Speaker 9: behavior on television totaled more than twenty thousand. A council
• 20:22
  Speaker 9: spokesperson says the reason for the difference in cost was
• 20:26
  Speaker 9: due to the amount of time required to undertake each investigation.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Goodness, I just don't know understand. If he made these
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: comments on television, why do you need to have an
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: investigation to find out what he did? You know he
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: said it on TV anyway, Jamie, the weather in Dunedin today.
• 20:42
  Speaker 9: Well it's fine with high cloud and northerlyes developing and
• 20:45
  Speaker 9: a high of seventeen.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Claire Sherwood is in christ Church this morning.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: Clear concerns too many christ Church residents are throwing out
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: dangerous waste Yeah.
• 20:54
  Speaker 10: We're not worried about compostman's down here, but Council here
• 20:57
  Speaker 10: is worried about an increase in fires in our curbs,
• 21:00
  Speaker 10: collection trucks and the processing facilities. The total since twenty
• 21:04
  Speaker 10: twenty has been forty two fires. Hazard is waste like
• 21:08
  Speaker 10: you know, batteries, gas bottles, those kinds of things. They
• 21:10
  Speaker 10: are also on the rise. The Resource Recovery Team leader
• 21:13
  Speaker 10: Tarannia Lees says more with more battery powered products on
• 21:16
  Speaker 10: the market, people do need to be aware, particularly for
• 21:19
  Speaker 10: things like laptops where they have embedded batteries. She says
• 21:23
  Speaker 10: they are contributing to this increase in fires, and she's
• 21:26
  Speaker 10: keen to tell residents that if you need, there is
• 21:28
  Speaker 10: a map of where to properly dispose of those items
• 21:31
  Speaker 10: on the christ Church City Council website.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: I've got a little green bin I can send you
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: clear and you can put all that stuff in it.
• 21:36
  Speaker 11: How good?
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: How's your weather today?
• 21:39
  Speaker 10: Peer frosty to start will clear to find northeasterlies developing
• 21:43
  Speaker 10: later today.
• 21:43
  Speaker 12: The high at fifteen have.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: A good one. Max's and Wellington Haymax Another hospitality spot
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: is closing.
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it seems virtually every week and you borrow. A
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: restaurant in the Capitol is shutting its doors, this time
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: the turn of quite well regarded Dali Egmont Street Eatery,
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: which has been operating there for nine years. The high
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: end spot blames the current economic climate. Also closing a
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: florister as well, Ivette Edwards after seven years on Tory Street.
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: Just last night, I was taln to someone in the
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: hospitality industry. He has it on good authority that another
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: bar at this time around the Willis Street area is
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: also planning to close imminently, a bar that's been around
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: since pre COVID. It seems like it's an absolutely dire
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: time for businesses in the city. And you've got right now,
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: at least the perception of a council that's anti business
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: and isn't prioritizing places staying open with the constant works
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: around the city. You've also got bar owners around Cotney
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: Place saying the police are fighting tooth and nail for
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: every licensing application or reapplication.
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: A tough and working environment makes a bright spot in
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: the weather today a lot brighter. Yeah.
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: I should be fine once it warms up.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Northerlyast fourteenth Central excellent thank you neveras an Auckland Hey never, Hello,
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: I love.
• 22:57
  Speaker 12: The conversation about your compost bins.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: It just drives me that it drives me.
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: I don't use it.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: I'm sure people there is a good reason for it. Yes,
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: you know, because of the emissions that come from landfills. Absolutely,
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: I get it, but don't make it compulsory.
• 23:10
  Speaker 12: Well because our sub editor, you know, Jenny, she uses
• 23:13
  Speaker 12: it all the time.
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: Good on her.
• 23:15
  Speaker 12: And she is the type of you know, and.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: She does look like it. Yes, compostor.
• 23:20
  Speaker 12: Do you want a compost mine Jenny?
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: And she does look like a compostor. She'd do it. Well.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Te I've just had a text saying trains are canceled
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: again this morning.
• 23:30
  Speaker 12: I don't really, I didn't know that.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: I shall get on to it.
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: You're kidding me, how do you?
• 23:35
  Speaker 8: Oh?
• 23:36
  Speaker 12: No, I just feel for commuters.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: I do too. Hey, eden Park, what's happening? This is great?
• 23:41
  Speaker 8: Now?
• 23:41
  Speaker 12: Look the public appears to be behind Eden Park hosting
• 23:44
  Speaker 12: more concerts, So the Auckland Stadium's application has been met.
• 23:47
  Speaker 12: I was quite surprised with this ninety four percent support
• 23:50
  Speaker 12: from submitters. So the application calls for an increase from
• 23:53
  Speaker 12: six concerts a year to twelve, and CEO Nick Sultan
• 23:57
  Speaker 12: says that this would make New Zealand more attractive option.
• 23:59
  Speaker 12: He's pretty pleased at this stage because each show kind
• 24:02
  Speaker 12: of like it creates more than three thousand dollars or
• 24:05
  Speaker 12: three thousand dollars three thousand jobs, you know, for each
• 24:08
  Speaker 12: show in a variety of areas. So that's quite good.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: How is the weather today? Everyone but Helen Clark would
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: be on board because yeah, those areas, ye, right, Indeed,
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: we're doubling the content Hellen and Peter.
• 24:21
  Speaker 12: The weather today mainly fine, even cloud late shower. Is
• 24:24
  Speaker 12: today's high sixteen in Auckland's brilliant.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Thanks never bat with Mitch McCann.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: Next International correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance, Peace of
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: mind for New Zealand business.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: You're a news talk the big quarter to six. We'll
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: get to Sue chetwynd just before six on the grocery
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: competition issue. Right now, our US correspondent Mitch mccannon is
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: with us. You've got new poll numbers from CNN. This
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: is ahead of November's election. Mitch, What's what's it saying? Yeah,
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: that's right, Good morning, Ryan.
• 24:51
  Speaker 11: You polling this Morning shows just how close this election is,
• 24:54
  Speaker 11: where it matters and the swing states that could decide
• 24:57
  Speaker 11: the entire election. So look at this Cohnson in Michigan,
• 25:01
  Speaker 11: Kamala Harris has a leader between six and five percentage points,
• 25:05
  Speaker 11: but polls show that in Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Nevada there
• 25:08
  Speaker 11: is no clear leader, while Arizona is polling in favor
• 25:12
  Speaker 11: of Donald Trump and the margin of ERAa in these
• 25:14
  Speaker 11: polls is around five percent, so that's better to say
• 25:17
  Speaker 11: they cannot be separated. Today, Kamala Harris is said to
• 25:20
  Speaker 11: propose a tax break for small businesses. I meanwhile, Donald
• 25:23
  Speaker 11: Trump is going to appear tonight's at a town hall
• 25:26
  Speaker 11: events in Pennsylvania on Fox News. And that's critical because
• 25:30
  Speaker 11: Fox News is the most watched cable news channel in
• 25:33
  Speaker 11: America by some distance. You can expect a lot of
• 25:36
  Speaker 11: ibels watching that. It's important to know, Ryan mark this
• 25:39
  Speaker 11: and your diary. The first Harris Trump debate will take
• 25:41
  Speaker 11: place next Wednesday afternoon, New Zealand Time.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Well, I can't wait for that. I'm very very excited
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: to see that. Interesting. Quite a mixed mixed bag when
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: it comes to those results. Then let's go to Georgia.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: There's been another school shooting.
• 25:55
  Speaker 8: Match.
• 25:56
  Speaker 11: Yeah, this is breaking news this morning, and we've only
• 25:59
  Speaker 11: learned in the last week while about this shooting, the
• 26:01
  Speaker 11: school shooting in Winded, Georgia, which is about an hour
• 26:04
  Speaker 11: from Atlanta, Georgia. Details are still emerging, as I said,
• 26:08
  Speaker 11: but at Appalashi High School, the latest reports are that
• 26:11
  Speaker 11: four people have died and thirty others are injured and
• 26:14
  Speaker 11: a suspect is now in custody. Video from outside the
• 26:17
  Speaker 11: school shows swarms of police officers and ambulance and students
• 26:21
  Speaker 11: on a football field. Some are in prayer circles. Now
• 26:25
  Speaker 11: that the suspect has been apprehended, it's been reported students
• 26:28
  Speaker 11: have been released to go home from the high school,
• 26:30
  Speaker 11: while other schools in the area are still being done.
• 26:33
  Speaker 11: It appears that is as a precaution.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: Mitch, thank you for that. Mitch mccanna, US correspondent, just
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: gone thirteen minutes away from six. No meaningful improvement in
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: the grocery sector. This is the competition issue after two years.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: This is despite the ComCom reports, the market studies, the
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Grocery Commissioner being appointed and up and running. The first
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: annual report from the ComCom into the sector has been
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: released and it basically says nothing mean, meaningful has happened.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: So Chetwyn is with the grocery action groups. She's with
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: me this morning, so great to have you on the show.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning. So are we ever going to
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: fix the issue?
• 27:14
  Speaker 7: Look, I think it is possible to fix the issue,
• 27:17
  Speaker 7: but structural change has to occur. So I guess the
• 27:22
  Speaker 7: government has to sort of bite metal here and say
• 27:27
  Speaker 7: we need more regulations to do something about the state
• 27:32
  Speaker 7: of our industry. So, you know, we have a jopoly
• 27:35
  Speaker 7: that has more than eighty percent control of the basically
• 27:40
  Speaker 7: the food that we buy, and all of the rules
• 27:45
  Speaker 7: that they've put in place all very well meaning, but
• 27:48
  Speaker 7: have not worked. They have really just printed around the edge.
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: So a mess. You make some structural change to encourage
• 27:57
  Speaker 7: competition or to allow competition to happen, then we're just
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: going to get more of the same.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Grocery commissioner mentioned the one hundred sites the land that
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: the supermarkets are supposedly sitting on. You know, is that
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: to block competition or are they just land banking because
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: it's profitable, or are they car parks or storage facilities?
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: You know, is that is that number realistic.
• 28:21
  Speaker 7: Look, I think the number represents all of the land
• 28:24
  Speaker 7: they own, so some of it may be legitimate for
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: say car parks, But the Colics Commission wouldn't have mentioned
• 28:34
  Speaker 7: it unless it has done research to show that it
• 28:38
  Speaker 7: is basically the duopoly buying land that could be useful
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: for supermarkets the block competitors. So and you know, just recently,
• 28:50
  Speaker 7: you know, we had the you know, the big fine
• 28:53
  Speaker 7: for food stuffs for land convenance. So that's buying land
• 28:56
  Speaker 7: and then putting on rules around it and selling it.
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: But that those rules mean that no competing supermarkets could
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: be put on it. This is more of the same.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: That was more historical, those charges that were brought right,
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: this is now apparently one hundred sites that they're sitting
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: on top. So what do you want to do? You
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: want the government to force them to sell the land.
• 29:16
  Speaker 7: Absolutely or do something with it that looked like a
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: supermarket and not a vape shop. And also I think
• 29:27
  Speaker 7: it needs to give the overseas you know office that
• 29:31
  Speaker 7: allows competitors, you know, potentially overseas competitors to come in,
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: so they might pertly need to free up some rules
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: around there. They need to free up other regulations. They
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: definitely need to free up land, but I think critically
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: and the OECD also recommended this, they need to look
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: at forcing the season markets to sell some of what
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: they own. So you know, maybe breaking up Peck and
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: Save and New World. You know, maybe Warworst has to
• 30:02
  Speaker 7: divest some of its supermarkets as well. So unless you
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: get that structural change, you're not going to get more
• 30:09
  Speaker 7: competition in New Zealand.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: If you have the state interfering in a sector like
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: that to the extent that you're suggesting, wouldn't it put
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: off private enterprise from wanting to come and invest here
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: in the first place.
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: Well, look, I think we've just got a broken market here,
• 30:26
  Speaker 7: and that's what you know, that's what regulation is for
• 30:29
  Speaker 7: in a way, is to make sure that we encourage competition.
• 30:35
  Speaker 7: So why is it that New Zealand has eighty percent
• 30:39
  Speaker 7: of you know, the supermarket industry owned by two supermarkets,
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: where in say Ireland a similar size had five supermarkets
• 30:48
  Speaker 7: or with about twenty percent of the market. So New
• 30:51
  Speaker 7: Zealand has one of the most dense markets in the world.
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: So it doesn't get much worse. So unless you have
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: some government interference to teach consumers and suppliers. Then it's
• 31:04
  Speaker 7: just going to be more of the same.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: If you keep getting the same result, we'll have another
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: report in another two years saying exactly the same thing,
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: that nothing's changed. So thank you very much for your
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: time this morning. Sud Chetwyn, who's with the Grocery Action Group.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: It is eight minutes away from six Ryan Bridge, very quickly,
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: an update for you. The US stocks have rebounded yesterday.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: We mentioned that there was a dip, if that's what
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: you want to call it, a bit of bed wetting,
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: and then it spread to Asia and the Nvidia, you know,
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: that chip company that everyone is going nuts for, lost
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: two hundred and eighty billion dollars on the stock market yesterday.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: But sounds like a lot's actually a drop in the
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: bucket when you look at the value of the companies
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: and the trillions. Oil is remaining lower, so we should
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: get lower petrol prices at some point two eight minutes
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: away from six Ryan Bridge.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: New for twenty twenty four on early edition with Smith City,
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: New Zealand's Furniture, Beds and a playing store.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: News Talk Zidby, Welcome back to the show. Five minutes
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: away from six I wonder where we're giving people a
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: bit of false hope with this grocery report. Remember when
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: they first started talking about it, they said there was
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: a million dollars a day in excess profits. That's three
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: hundred and sixty five million dollars a year if my
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: calculations are correct. Divide that by five million people. Because
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: we all eat, that's seventy three dollars per year. So
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: you would be saving per person, in a perfect will,
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: with perfect competition, just a dollar forty a week on
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: your groceries. Mike, good morning morning.
• 32:26
  Speaker 13: So what you've got to remember, it's very important to
• 32:28
  Speaker 13: remember this. That's an invented job, and it was invented
• 32:31
  Speaker 13: by the labor government, a grocery data. Yeah, because they
• 32:33
  Speaker 13: couldn't work out what they were going to do about
• 32:35
  Speaker 13: the market. Because the market's the market. If it's broken,
• 32:38
  Speaker 13: it sort of doesn't matter. Because I think you've almost
• 32:40
  Speaker 13: got to the bottom of it. It isn't going to
• 32:42
  Speaker 13: get fixed. It's not possible to fix it because what
• 32:45
  Speaker 13: fixes it, allegedly is another big supermarket provider. Why aren't
• 32:49
  Speaker 13: they there? Ask yourself the obvious question. So when you've
• 32:51
  Speaker 13: invented a job, first thing you've got to do is
• 32:53
  Speaker 13: find problems, don't you, which is which is what he did,
• 32:56
  Speaker 13: because there's no way in the world's going to come
• 32:57
  Speaker 13: out and go, look, I'd like to be able to
• 32:59
  Speaker 13: say something, got a cart, So I'm wasting my time.
• 33:01
  Speaker 13: So he comes out and tells you what the problems are,
• 33:03
  Speaker 13: and the problems are insurmountable because they're not specific. I mean,
• 33:06
  Speaker 13: if you look at the results of Woolworth's the other day,
• 33:09
  Speaker 13: their profits were down fifty seven percent. Yeah, now, so
• 33:12
  Speaker 13: that's a reflection.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: But the other thing is if you're trying to get
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: an ld to come here to New Zealand and you've
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: got this grocery commissioner waving his hands around saying we
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: need we need the state to intervene in the private market,
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: is that going to ent you?
• 33:26
  Speaker 8: No?
• 33:26
  Speaker 13: Just think about what that that, Sue Chapman, for God's sake,
• 33:29
  Speaker 13: the state into love. I mean, why don't you just
• 33:31
  Speaker 13: call it Russia?
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: So what do you want?
• 33:34
  Speaker 13: You want the Minister of something setting the price of rice?
• 33:36
  Speaker 13: Do you is is that really where we're heading back
• 33:39
  Speaker 13: to the same Look at you look at Australia though,
• 33:41
  Speaker 13: how many people twenty six twenty seven million people. They've
• 33:43
  Speaker 13: got more supermarkets.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Are they happy with the supermarkets?
• 33:45
  Speaker 13: No, they're not. They're having the same argument there as
• 33:47
  Speaker 13: we're having here.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: So you know, we're equally miserable.
• 33:50
  Speaker 13: We're equally miserable, is what it is.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: Hey, Lisa Carrington after eight, Oh brilliant, nice one. See
• 33:56
