- 1:07Speaker 3: You're going to have a lot of investigative agencies. They're
- 1:10Speaker 3: going to be taking a fine tooth calm to figure
- 1:13Speaker 3: out exactly what led to this issue here and with
- 1:16Speaker 3: this mechanical issue, they're going to dig deep.
- 1:19Speaker 2: What was it that failed? How did it fail?
- 1:22Speaker 3: Why did it fail?
- 1:23Speaker 2: Pope Leo's having his first inauguration mass He's had a
- 1:26Speaker 2: meeting with Zelenski as well. He's talking about marginalization of
- 1:30Speaker 2: the poor and autocracy.
- 1:33Speaker 4: We still see too much discord caused by hatred that
- 1:45Speaker 4: exploits the resources.
- 1:50Speaker 2: Meanwhile, Trump is going to pick up the phone and
- 1:52Speaker 2: he is going to speak with Putin by tomorrow. So
- 1:56Speaker 2: I'm by the timing with you on ed tomorrow. We
- 1:58Speaker 2: should have had a phone conversation between Persian and Trump.
- 2:01Speaker 2: This is about Indian the war in the Ukraine. Of course,
- 2:03Speaker 2: he posted this to his truth social account, saying he'll
- 2:07Speaker 2: then speak to Zelensky and the leaders of some NATO countries.
- 2:11Speaker 5: Days ago, mister Trump had voice that he is growing
- 2:14Speaker 5: skeptical of a direct talks between Ukrainians and Russians, yielding
- 2:18Speaker 5: result that he believes that no peace deal will happen
- 2:21Speaker 5: unless he sits down with the Russian leader himself and
- 2:25Speaker 5: the Kremlin had said that they are interested in this summit,
- 2:28Speaker 5: but they would require a careful planning.
- 2:31Speaker 2: Eldon John really upset at the UK government. This is
- 2:33Speaker 2: all over copyright laws.
- 2:35Speaker 6: It's really disrespectful, it's really disheartening. I want the government
- 2:40Speaker 6: to see since I want it to come back on
- 2:42Speaker 6: our side.
- 2:44Speaker 2: And that is your agenda for your Monday morning, nine
- 2:46Speaker 2: minutes half to five.
- 2:49Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge on Early Edition with one roof make your
- 2:52Speaker 1: Property search simple used talg Zibby.
- 2:55Speaker 2: It's just a couple of things for Simeon Brown, who'll
- 2:57Speaker 2: be on the show before six this morning. This announcement yesterday,
- 3:01Speaker 2: it sounds great and they always do. But after ours
- 3:04Speaker 2: an urgent care one hundred and sixty four million dollars
- 3:07Speaker 2: over four years, that's forty one million dollars a year.
- 3:09Speaker 2: Sounds good, sounds great, But Devil's always in the detail
- 3:12Speaker 2: with this stuff. So he says in the release, the
- 3:16Speaker 2: funding will establish a new twenty four hour urgent care
- 3:19Speaker 2: service identified for counties Monaco. Okay, that sounds to me.
- 3:25Speaker 2: You know, I'm just a layman, but that sounds to
- 3:27Speaker 2: me like counties Monaco. You're getting a new twenty four
- 3:29Speaker 2: hour urgent and care service. Great, however, then says it
- 3:33Speaker 2: will also support new twenty four hour urgent care services
- 3:38Speaker 2: identified for Fungaday, Palmeston, North Totonga and Dunedin. Now support
- 3:44Speaker 2: and identified are some pretty massive qualifiers. So are they
- 3:48Speaker 2: going to get them or not? We'll ask if you're
- 3:50Speaker 2: in any of those areas this morning, fung Outa, Palmeston,
- 3:52Speaker 2: North Totonger or Duneed and good morning you'll be wanting
- 3:55Speaker 2: to know. We'll ask the minister for six. You don't
- 3:58Speaker 2: have to look far, and we should grateful in New
- 4:01Speaker 2: Zealand that we have relatively stable democracy. You don't have
- 4:04Speaker 2: to look far to see how unstable the world is,
- 4:07Speaker 2: how off it's kilter the world is. Millions of Europeans
- 4:11Speaker 2: are going to the polls today. Then they're not doing
- 4:14Speaker 2: very well at one holding elections and then two staying
- 4:17Speaker 2: in power. You've got Romania, Poland and Portuguese going today.
- 4:22Speaker 2: You've got in Romania and I told you about this
- 4:24Speaker 2: a couple of months ago. The right wing nationalist guy
- 4:27Speaker 2: he won the first round of voting earlier this month.
- 4:31Speaker 2: But remember the last election at the end of last year.
- 4:34Speaker 2: They had to annul that one because of Russian interference,
- 4:38Speaker 2: so they had one go didn't work. Now they're having
- 4:40Speaker 2: the second go Portugal their third general election in barely
- 4:45Speaker 2: three years. They've got a minority government just keeps falling
- 4:48Speaker 2: over because the political landscape is so fragmented. This is emigration,
- 4:53Speaker 2: think housing, think constant living. You get these minority governments
- 4:57Speaker 2: and they just collapse. The funniest part is not funny,
- 5:00Speaker 2: but it's sort of funny. The funniest part about this
- 5:02Speaker 2: is that the polls, if the polls are to be believed,
- 5:05Speaker 2: they're going to end up with the exact same result
- 5:08Speaker 2: that they have now. So after everyone going and voting,
- 5:13Speaker 2: they will get exactly what they had yesterday. That's what
- 5:15Speaker 2: the polls are telling us anyway. And then of course
- 5:17Speaker 2: Poland's going this is the presidential election, so you know Tusk,
- 5:20Speaker 2: who's the prime minister. You've got polls going to the
- 5:23Speaker 2: polls to elect a new president. Will they stick with
- 5:27Speaker 2: the European vision or will they go with this sort
- 5:29Speaker 2: of Trump admirer Candid that that's the question for them
- 5:32Speaker 2: this morning. Gavin Gray in the UK for US later
- 5:35Speaker 2: in the program to eleven after five.
- 5:39Speaker 1: The first word on the news of the Day, Early
- 5:42Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and one Room to make your
- 5:45Speaker 1: property Surgeon Symbol News Talks five fourteen.
- 5:49Speaker 2: Sir Thomas calling on the Herald this morning sums it
- 5:51Speaker 2: up pretty well. So we know we had two point
- 5:53Speaker 2: four million dollars in operating spending for this budget that's
- 5:56Speaker 2: coming on Thursday, Nichola Willis's second that's been half to
- 5:59Speaker 2: one point three billion. Half of that's already been committed,
- 6:02Speaker 2: a new funding for medicines to farmac, and then you've
- 6:05Speaker 2: got all of the announcements. We had another one yesterday,
- 6:08Speaker 2: the pre budget announcements. You know with the twelve billion
- 6:10Speaker 2: over four years on defense, you've got the student attendance
- 6:13Speaker 2: one hundred and forty million, you've got one hundred million
- 6:15Speaker 2: over four years on student under achievement in maths, you
- 6:18Speaker 2: name it, you name it. And they've basically promised more
- 6:20Speaker 2: than they are take, promised to spend more than they
- 6:25Speaker 2: are currently able to under that operating allowance, which basically
- 6:29Speaker 2: means one thing. But cuts are coming. The question, of
- 6:31Speaker 2: course with Thursday is from where fourteen after five Brian Bridge,
- 6:35Speaker 2: So let's talk more about the budget now. So it
- 6:37Speaker 2: will be a highest spending of any government in history,
- 6:40Speaker 2: borrowing is still high. Minister's going to have to make counts.
- 6:43Speaker 2: We don't quite know where. From Business Central CEO Simon
- 6:45Speaker 2: Archus of me this morning, Simon, good morning.
- 6:48Speaker 7: Good morning, Ryan.
- 6:49Speaker 2: Very well. Now you're in Wellington. Where would you where
- 6:52Speaker 2: would you cut? Where's the fat?
- 6:55Speaker 7: Look, there isn't much, Shannon. I think that's the tyrope
- 6:57Speaker 7: the government's walking. How do you bou do you balance
- 7:00Speaker 7: some fiscal restraints, you know, keep not spending with the
- 7:04Speaker 7: reality of needing to boost the economy. It's a really
- 7:06Speaker 7: difficult question. And as you say, a lot of budgets,
- 7:10Speaker 7: big headline items are known, so I'm not quite sure.
- 7:14Speaker 7: Wellington certainly has had public sector cuts of course, and
- 7:18Speaker 7: suffered as a consequence of that. So let's hope there's
- 7:20Speaker 7: not too much more that space could well be then.
- 7:24Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting. It's an interesting place for Wellington to be,
- 7:27Speaker 2: right because the rest of the country is going, ah,
- 7:29Speaker 2: just cut them, slash them, burn them, and you and
- 7:32Speaker 2: the businesses in Wellington are actually the ones that feel
- 7:35Speaker 2: that right.
- 7:36Speaker 7: Well absolutely, And what's really interesting about the direct government
- 7:40Speaker 7: spending into Wellington. It accounts for about twelve percent of
- 7:43Speaker 7: the GDP and while that doesn't sound like a huge amount,
- 7:45Speaker 7: that's before you've got all the extra professional services, support
- 7:48Speaker 7: services where a civil servant goes and buys a a
- 7:52Speaker 7: sandwich at once. But it's a big impact. And if
- 7:55Speaker 7: you compared to the rest of the country, that's only
- 7:57Speaker 7: about four percent, so it's a big It is a
- 7:59Speaker 7: big chunk of our economy and I think that's what's
- 8:03Speaker 7: really made it tough in the recent times.
- 8:05Speaker 2: Infrastructure Simon. We're hearing about plans, we're hearing about cash.
- 8:09Speaker 2: Has anyone actually seen any money yet?
- 8:12Speaker 7: One of the things that is a concern is infrastructure
- 8:14Speaker 7: certainly is high on the agenda, but we need to
- 8:17Speaker 7: see that stuff starting. We need to see the green
- 8:20Speaker 7: grow button with a lot of that and that's a
- 8:23Speaker 7: big thing for Wellington. And of course the other thing
- 8:25Speaker 7: that is a little bit of a bright spot is
- 8:29Speaker 7: probably the film spend and crewdive industry spend that down
- 8:33Speaker 7: here will have an impact too.
- 8:34Speaker 2: Hey, what a business is thing? If she was to
- 8:37Speaker 2: come out on Thursday Nichola Willison say I want you
- 8:40Speaker 2: to increase your employee, can we save a contribution? What
- 8:44Speaker 2: do you reckon?
- 8:44Speaker 7: Businesses would say, Well, I think I think this is
- 8:48Speaker 7: really interesting and a lot of a government if you
- 8:50Speaker 7: think about fiscal restraint but wanting to boost the economy.
- 8:52Speaker 7: If you think about questions around key we Saver, you
- 8:55Speaker 7: say we business largely without the trajector, but the john
- 9:03Speaker 7: individual businesses or the impact on businesses as the days
- 9:07Speaker 7: and weeks go on has been really tough. I think
- 9:10Speaker 7: I think employer contribution to here we savers something got
- 9:13Speaker 7: to look at, and we've got to look at how
- 9:15Speaker 7: to make sure that in the future people will be
- 9:19Speaker 7: more secure in their retirement and less dependent on the government.
- 9:23Speaker 2: Simon, I appreciate your time this morning. Thank you very much.
- 9:25Speaker 2: Simon Archis who is with us from Wellington Business Central CEO.
- 9:29Speaker 2: It is seventeen after five Andrew Ordison next, Ryan Fox
- 9:33Speaker 2: tearing off.
- 9:34Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan
- 9:38Speaker 1: Bridge and one roof Make your property search simple news Dogs.
- 9:42Speaker 2: That'd be five nineteen So the old Western Springs and
- 9:45Speaker 2: Auckland for those who know, big battle going on between
- 9:48Speaker 2: the x Abs over who will take control of it?
- 9:51Speaker 2: You know what will happen to it, what will the
- 9:52Speaker 2: future of it? Best you've got this morning, sir Brian
- 9:54Speaker 2: Williams coming out with his vision for a community solution.
- 9:59Speaker 2: So you're looking at a five to eight thousand six
- 10:01Speaker 2: stadium that could cater for club sport, school finals, competitions,
- 10:05Speaker 2: your community tournaments, all that kind of stuff. Nice stuff.
- 10:09Speaker 2: And then you've got on the other side, over a
- 10:11Speaker 2: very high fence, you've got Allie Williams and his crew
- 10:15Speaker 2: and they are promising twenty five thousand capacity concert venue,
- 10:18Speaker 2: eight indoor basketball courts, indoor six paddle courts, four outdoor
- 10:23Speaker 2: training fields, five hospitality establishments. That's how they make their money.
- 10:27Speaker 2: So your coffee, where you watching that sport? And three
- 10:30Speaker 2: hundred million dollar price tag but it's all privately funded.
- 10:34Speaker 2: Brian leashed you. But the council will have to pay
- 10:37Speaker 2: for that, won't they? So whose side are you on?
- 10:39Speaker 2: Twenty after five Bridge Andrew Ortison Here was fot good
- 10:43Speaker 2: morning Greeting's Ryan? Which side of the fence would you sit?
- 10:46Speaker 8: Geez, well hard to go past b G to be honest,
- 10:49Speaker 8: he's a wily character. Yeah, Hi, I tak you boy though, Yeah, yeah,
- 10:54Speaker 8: just this year numbers et cetera. Yeah, yeah, always got
- 10:57Speaker 8: a lot of backing in that part of the world.
- 10:59Speaker 2: He does and he's a great man. So in the
- 11:02Speaker 2: FC they've had a win, great and it's it's second
- 11:06Speaker 2: league to come.
- 11:07Speaker 8: Yep, so one up literally over over Melbourn victory. So yeah,
- 11:11Speaker 8: coming to back to Auckland for this, you know, speaking
- 11:15Speaker 8: of the year that the Ellie Williams et cetera, and
- 11:16Speaker 8: that the band with the Oakland FC. What I mean,
- 11:21Speaker 8: the season continues to go for strength to strength. Almost
- 11:23Speaker 8: took it to nil. I think that moreno strike just
- 11:25Speaker 8: late in the game hit both goalposts and abounded away.
- 11:30Speaker 8: But yeah, the logan Rogers is striking the sixty fourth
- 11:32Speaker 8: minute that was enough to take them through. So yeah,
- 11:35Speaker 8: it's they're just that one game away from making the Grand.
- 11:38Speaker 2: And it's points across both games as yeah.
- 11:41Speaker 8: Yeah, so home and away and then established with you
- 11:44Speaker 8: you you go.
- 11:45Speaker 2: Through hopefully we'll get the final one of the PACIFICA
- 11:47Speaker 2: has been burning the blues. That was quite cool.
- 11:50Speaker 8: I just think that's that's what makes the rugby, that's
- 11:52Speaker 8: what makes the competition, if you like. It's just so
- 11:55Speaker 8: long that we've been waiting for this for this to happen,
- 11:57Speaker 8: and that's just I think it's wonderful for the for
- 11:59Speaker 8: the sport as a whole. Arlie Savvy is always already
- 12:02Speaker 8: the player of the season for Super Rugby as a
- 12:05Speaker 8: result of the voting process.
- 12:06Speaker 2: But just leading them from the front end. Gee, they were.
- 12:09Speaker 8: They were a compelling watch, right I thought. And to
- 12:12Speaker 8: beat the Blues defending champions just an in Auckland contest
- 12:17Speaker 8: as it was at North Harbor there.
- 12:19Speaker 2: But what a.
- 12:20Speaker 8: Remarkable showing from wider pacifica so into the top six
- 12:23Speaker 8: into the playoff spots, beating the Blues out for the
- 12:25Speaker 8: time being. Blues with the buy this week and then
- 12:28Speaker 8: into the final round.
- 12:29Speaker 2: Had my parents staying with me on the weekend and
- 12:31Speaker 2: Dad was saying, oh, ye, the Hurricanes could get into
- 12:33Speaker 2: the finals. Is he dreaming possibly? Yeah, they're not doing that.
- 12:39Speaker 2: I mean they're doing okay now, but they in the
- 12:42Speaker 2: last few weeks, but they haven't been doing that well.
- 12:44Speaker 8: Ask yeah, yeah, yeah, So we'll see what happens all right. Yeah,
- 12:46Speaker 8: he's a dreams coming down to their day.
- 12:49Speaker 2: Ryan Fox Fox has already made his dreams come true
- 12:52Speaker 2: this morning. He's in the final round ten tend to
- 12:55Speaker 2: five this morning.
- 12:56Speaker 8: Yes, I've just been watching it before I came in here.
- 12:58Speaker 8: He has part of the Furst, so still sitting in
- 13:01Speaker 8: that year of seventeenth, he's three under overall, but it's
- 13:06Speaker 8: going to take a lot to haul in Scottie Schiffley here,
- 13:08Speaker 8: number one golf from the world Ruyne and pretty much
- 13:12Speaker 8: at the top of his game. He's eleven under, so
- 13:14Speaker 8: it's going to require something pretty remarkable from Fox. But
- 13:17Speaker 8: then again, if he holds where he is, he is
- 13:19Speaker 8: going to get a terrific paycheck. So yeah, continuing that
- 13:21Speaker 8: form that he had from what we saw go earlier
- 13:24Speaker 8: on with his first victory on the PGA to a
- 13:27Speaker 8: Moodle Beach Classic and he took it into the first
- 13:30Speaker 8: round with the four under head of what an even
- 13:32Speaker 8: par around in a one over round.
- 13:34Speaker 2: So you just interesting to see what he produces a
- 13:36Speaker 2: tall order. Yeah, I think so. I think so. But
- 13:39Speaker 2: like the Hurricane, it's just.
- 13:43Speaker 8: If you go and where Fox is going though, that's
- 13:44Speaker 8: just that's just a remarkable achievement in itself. So you know,
- 13:47Speaker 8: to hold that to a card for another two years,
- 13:49Speaker 8: the peace of mind from that that's.
- 13:51Speaker 2: Really the bigger win. Pretty special, isn't it. It is
- 13:53Speaker 2: good to see your Andrew right hearing from me throughout
- 13:56Speaker 2: the morning, forwards. Andrew Ortison was sport twenty four minutes
- 13:58Speaker 2: after five You're on News Talks said, you know when
- 14:00Speaker 2: you go online and buy something, if you're somebody who
- 14:03Speaker 2: does that, and even if you go into a physical
- 14:05Speaker 2: store and they ask you a million questions about yourself
- 14:08Speaker 2: before they sell you something, why that's next The.
- 14:11Speaker 1: Early edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio Power It by Newstalks.
- 14:15Speaker 2: IV five twenty six News Talks VB. Here's a question
- 14:20Speaker 2: for your Monday morning. If somebody came up to you
- 14:22Speaker 2: on the street and said, can I have your date
- 14:25Speaker 2: of birth, your next of can your phone number, your
- 14:28Speaker 2: personal address? I want all of your interests, your sports,
- 14:31Speaker 2: your hobbies, what color yourundies are? What would you say?
- 14:35Speaker 2: You would tell that person to promptly buger off, wouldn't you?
- 14:38Speaker 2: And yet, for some random reason, when a random business
- 14:43Speaker 2: asks you this stuff while you're buying a shampoo or
- 14:46Speaker 2: a computer mouse on the internet, we happily give it away,
- 14:49Speaker 2: We hand it over, we pay for our loot using
- 14:53Speaker 2: probably a credit card with a password, and then we
- 14:55Speaker 2: think nothing more of it and go about our day.
- 14:58Speaker 2: And the reason we do this is because we're asked
- 15:01Speaker 2: to do it. And we often don't have much choice,
- 15:03Speaker 2: you know, when you don't answer those questions with the
- 15:05Speaker 2: asterisks on them, and you can't go to step two
- 15:08Speaker 2: even if you're paying for this thing. So the Privacy
- 15:11Speaker 2: Commissioner has a new report out, and it's basically a
- 15:13Speaker 2: middle finger from us to big tech on data. Two
- 15:17Speaker 2: thirds two thirds of us say projecting our personal information
- 15:22Speaker 2: is now a major concern in our lives is a
- 15:25Speaker 2: major concern, presumably up there with death and a mortgage.
- 15:29Speaker 2: Eighty percent say they want more control over it, and
- 15:32Speaker 2: I agree with them. Honestly, Why does my hairdresser need
- 15:35Speaker 2: to know my date of birth when I'm booking an appointment?
- 15:40Speaker 2: Does it tell them how thin my hair might be
- 15:41Speaker 2: at a certain age? Do they need my address to
- 15:44Speaker 2: ship the hair back to me after they've cut it
- 15:47Speaker 2: and swept it off the floor. Do they need my
- 15:49Speaker 2: surname because it might denote the frailty in my follicles
- 15:53Speaker 2: passed down through generations. No, it's because they can ask
- 15:57Speaker 2: for it, so they do. Presumably they're making money off
- 16:00Speaker 2: it somehow, I don't know. Honestly, my online supermarket and
- 16:04Speaker 2: electricity provider know more intimate details about me than some
- 16:08Speaker 2: of my exes. We regularly reveal more personal details to
- 16:14Speaker 2: countdown than we would on a first date. Companies here
- 16:17Speaker 2: can basically ask you anything. You often have to answer.
- 16:21Speaker 2: They must take reasonable steps to keep this a secret.
- 16:25Speaker 2: But how long until the hack has come? And then
- 16:27Speaker 2: it's all out there and it's all out the window,
- 16:29Speaker 2: and it's all on the internet. Right, everyone knows that happens.
- 16:31Speaker 2: The EU has quite strict rules. Businesses must give you
- 16:35Speaker 2: the option of rejecting cookies. You notice when you go
- 16:37Speaker 2: on a website in the EU, you can decline the
- 16:41Speaker 2: cookies informed consent over there only asking for the stuff
- 16:45Speaker 2: related to what you're buying or doing, and you have
- 16:49Speaker 2: the right to go in and delete or change the
- 16:52Speaker 2: information that companies hold on you. I know we can't
- 16:57Speaker 2: do that, can we? You could avoid the internet all together?
- 17:00Speaker 2: Of course I can hear what you're saying, but that
- 17:02Speaker 2: train has sort of left the station. So can I suggest, Kishi?
- 17:06Speaker 2: Can I ask a question to businesses this morning? Can
- 17:09Speaker 2: you please stop asking us so many damned, irrelevant and
- 17:15Speaker 2: annoying questions?
- 17:17Speaker 9: Ryan Bridge, thank you very much.
- 17:19Speaker 2: I would appreciate it. Twenty nine minutes after five, you're
- 17:21Speaker 2: on News Talks there b our reporters around the country shortly,
- 17:24Speaker 2: and we'll get to Gavin Gray in the UK. Big
- 17:28Speaker 2: meeting between the EU and Starmer overnight.
- 17:34Speaker 1: Well on your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition
- 17:46Speaker 1: with Ryan Bridge and One Roof to make your Property
- 17:50Speaker 1: search simple, Youth Talk said, be.
- 18:00Speaker 2: Good morning, twenty four minutes away from six News Talks B.
- 18:03Speaker 2: We're going to talk to Sime and Brown just before
- 18:04Speaker 2: six on the health after ours care announcements yesterday, are
- 18:07Speaker 2: they really what they see? And we'll get to Gavin
- 18:09Speaker 2: Gray in the UK shortly. I just want to say
- 18:11Speaker 2: there's a lot of support for my idea of basically
- 18:15Speaker 2: sharpening up the rules. When you do something, buy something
- 18:18Speaker 2: online and you guess asked one thousand and one questions,
- 18:21Speaker 2: they shouldn't be able to ask you a thousand and
- 18:23Speaker 2: one questions about your you know what color you underwear are?
- 18:26Speaker 2: David says Ryan. I agree. We just want to grab
- 18:29Speaker 2: the milk and go. Sometimes when we're at the supermarket,
- 18:32Speaker 2: not feel like we're filling out a tax return at
- 18:34Speaker 2: the checkout. This is so true when a quick purchase
- 18:37Speaker 2: turns into an interrogation about our phone number, email life
- 18:41Speaker 2: goals and whether they're the like to round it up
- 18:43Speaker 2: for charity. It starts to feel like a transaction, less
- 18:45Speaker 2: like a transaction, more like an unexpected therapy session. I agree.
- 18:49Speaker 2: And what's with those machines that countdown? You know? They
- 18:53Speaker 2: say on the left hand side you've got a machine
- 18:57Speaker 2: card only it says you know, and then your cash
- 19:00Speaker 2: ones are labeled separately. Okay, So I go with the
- 19:03Speaker 2: card one and then you tap cap, swipe, swape, swampe
- 19:05Speaker 2: bing ban bang, off you go, and then it says
- 19:07Speaker 2: how would you like to pay? You already told me
- 19:10Speaker 2: how the option there is one, So just let me
- 19:13Speaker 2: tap the card and go. I mean, I know it's
- 19:15Speaker 2: little things, but they do start to build up and
- 19:18Speaker 2: annoy you, don't you, But like the tipping at restaurants
- 19:21Speaker 2: twenty three minutes away from Sex News talks, there'd be
- 19:25Speaker 2: I'll tell you when we were playing Elton John later
- 19:27Speaker 2: in the show too. Right now, Callum Procter and Dnede
- 19:29Speaker 2: and Cullum. There's been some issues with water in parts
- 19:32Speaker 2: of Duned and what exactly.
- 19:34Speaker 10: Yeah, problems for Port Charmer's residents, Ryan, and they're being
- 19:38Speaker 10: urged to use water wisely to avoid the introduction of
- 19:41Speaker 10: possible restrictions there the city councils, so they're investigating potential
- 19:46Speaker 10: causes for increased water demand in the area. Drinking water
- 19:49Speaker 10: levels being monitored, the local port charmers, treatment plants being
- 19:52Speaker 10: reactivated to cover and make sure there is sufficient treated
- 19:56Speaker 10: water available there. The Council's found several ex private networks
- 20:00Speaker 10: about working with owners to plug those problems. Meanwhile, residents
- 20:04Speaker 10: and businesses there who are aware of leaks are being
- 20:07Speaker 10: asked to report them to the council.
- 20:08Speaker 2: All right, and how's your weather good today? Fine? And
- 20:11Speaker 2: twelve for Deneeda, brilliant, Thank you. Clariha was in christ
- 20:14Speaker 2: It's clear, good morning, Good morning. Now this I've been
- 20:17Speaker 2: following this story well from a distance, but Sumner's are
- 20:20Speaker 2: cave rock and the light mast is it? Are people
- 20:24Speaker 2: upset because it's bright or because it looks like a
- 20:26Speaker 2: Holy Cross?
- 20:27Speaker 11: Oh well, it has caused a stir so, as you know,
- 20:30Speaker 11: many people following it. This has been going on for
- 20:33Speaker 11: a long long time for those in Sumner. For us,
- 20:36Speaker 11: we became aware of it last week when council opened
- 20:38Speaker 11: public submissions on the whole saga that is the cross.
- 20:42Speaker 11: Now the thing that public consultation involves is the brightness
- 20:46Speaker 11: of the lights, also the configuration of the lights and
- 20:48Speaker 11: the hours of which they are used. So initially we
- 20:51Speaker 11: were speaking a lot about the brightness of the lights
- 20:53Speaker 11: and concerned about it keeping residents awaken these sorts of things.
- 20:56Speaker 11: It turns out, as you say.
- 20:58Speaker 12: That there is now a belief that this idea fear
- 21:00Speaker 12: of it being a likeness to a religious symbol or
- 21:02Speaker 12: a cross, is actually at the forefront of this argument.
- 21:05Speaker 12: So there are many members of the community upset about that.
- 21:08Speaker 12: The Sumner Community Residents Association chair Andrea Davis has been
- 21:11Speaker 12: on the phone with us. She says, because the master
- 21:14Speaker 12: sits above the high tide mark, it belongs in the public,
- 21:16Speaker 12: so it's only right that we voice concerns about it. However,
- 21:19Speaker 12: she does feel that the community are most upset about
- 21:22Speaker 12: the fact that there's a curiosity as to why the
- 21:25Speaker 12: lights themselves sit along the center and then horizontally across
- 21:29Speaker 12: like a cross instead of a nautical mast shape.
- 21:34Speaker 2: Honestly, okay, howse you wear they clear miserable today?
- 21:40Speaker 12: Rain will clear to fine southwesternly is turning northerly only
- 21:44Speaker 12: ten degrees.
- 21:45Speaker 2: All right, Thank you max Is and Wellington. Hey Max,
- 21:47Speaker 2: what happened to you on Friday?
- 21:49Speaker 13: Technical glitch at my ends. But I'm shirking responsibility someone
- 21:55Speaker 13: else's fault.
- 21:56Speaker 2: Okay, that's good, just like a Wellingtonian exactly. Hey, go
- 22:01Speaker 2: time for Andrew Little. We've got campaign launch on the weekend.
- 22:04Speaker 13: Yeah yeah, over the weekend. It was all very slick,
- 22:06Speaker 13: no big surprises as you'd expect. Even his main rival,
- 22:09Speaker 13: counselor Ray Hung was there speaking positively about the former
- 22:12Speaker 13: labor leader. Aside from the obvious better spending, transparency, collaboration
- 22:17Speaker 13: blah blah blah, a little once the Golden Mile thought
- 22:20Speaker 13: about more carefully whatever that means. Community things like we
- 22:24Speaker 13: go near house at the Botanical Gardens, Candala pool. Let's
- 22:27Speaker 13: spend on that, not massive blowout projects like the town hall.
- 22:32Speaker 13: Let's do things that are good for the community. But again,
- 22:34Speaker 13: full of generalisms. It's I suppose quite difficult to map
- 22:37Speaker 13: out a maryalty when you've got when you're gonna have
- 22:40Speaker 13: fifteen widows sitting around you at the table or wanting
- 22:42Speaker 13: their own thing. But a guy like Andrew Little, perhaps
- 22:45Speaker 13: a little plain and exciting, sensible, is what Wellington needs
- 22:48Speaker 13: right now.
- 22:48Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's exactly what's going to happen in
- 22:50Speaker 2: Ragehang's seeing the running on them. Will wants to be depity. Well,
- 22:53Speaker 2: so you know, off there to suck up. How's the weather?
- 22:57Speaker 13: Showers turning to rain later today. It wasn't the best weekend.
- 23:01Speaker 13: Hopefully Neva had a good time in the Capital. Southerly's
- 23:04Speaker 13: twelve the High Central brilliant.
- 23:05Speaker 2: Thank you, Max. Neva's here, did you? I did?
- 23:08Speaker 14: I was at no Mutty Beach.
- 23:10Speaker 2: Oh beautiful, it was lovely.
- 23:12Speaker 14: I mean it was raining, but I thought, no, that's okay.
- 23:16Speaker 14: Ye're not no, no, oh no, yes, you're a swim No,
- 23:20Speaker 14: I don't.
- 23:20Speaker 2: I don't know how to swim. Actually, full disclosure.
- 23:25Speaker 14: If I'm a Vicago people in a Vicago, we don't
- 23:27Speaker 14: know how to swim this. We don't have the climate.
- 23:29Speaker 2: If I picked you up and put you in the water,
- 23:31Speaker 2: you were literally drown.
- 23:33Speaker 14: Oh you're thinking about that?
- 23:34Speaker 2: No, no, no, but does it not ski you? I
- 23:36Speaker 2: mean we're on an island, not.
- 23:38Speaker 14: Really, because no, you know, I don't have any business
- 23:41Speaker 14: to go down there by the beach and dip my
- 23:43Speaker 14: toes in. Well, no, I would dip my toes in
- 23:45Speaker 14: and that would probably be it.
- 23:46Speaker 2: Do you know what, I'm a strong enough swimmer. I
- 23:47Speaker 2: could save both of them.
- 23:48Speaker 14: Oh yeah, okay, yes, yes, oh no, that would be great.
- 23:52Speaker 2: He expected the proposed conversion of an Auckland golf course
- 23:56Speaker 2: into wetland could drive down property prices.
- 23:59Speaker 14: It was happen is that The Auckland Council says the
- 24:02Speaker 14: change would create better flood protection for the area. Southeby's
- 24:06Speaker 14: International Realty in Norseal Direct to Be Mackey says this
- 24:09Speaker 14: decrease could be between ten to fifteen percent on average
- 24:12Speaker 14: for Takapuna properties. He says, look in the US, having
- 24:16Speaker 14: a private golf course nearby, now you know that can
- 24:19Speaker 14: increase the house's value by about twenty five percent. That
- 24:23Speaker 14: value increase would be slightly smaller in Takapuna because it
- 24:25Speaker 14: would be a public course. Auckland Council says that the
- 24:28Speaker 14: Wetlands move it aims to protect property value prevent large
- 24:32Speaker 14: increases in insurance costs. So more and more on this debate.
- 24:36Speaker 2: I think that's pretty funny. I mean, if you're weighing
- 24:39Speaker 2: up where to live and they said to you, look,
- 24:41Speaker 2: you can have a golf course, but your house might flood.
- 24:44Speaker 14: That's right.
- 24:45Speaker 2: I think most sensible people would go, well, I'll go
- 24:48Speaker 2: somewhere else and play golf. Yes, absolutely. How's the weather Neihver.
- 24:52Speaker 14: Tightley, cloudy, showers clearing, So that's good. Eighteen is a
- 24:56Speaker 14: high here in Auclifd brilliant.
- 24:57Speaker 2: Thank you very much. Have a great day, Andrew. Sorry.
- 25:00Speaker 2: Devin Gray is in the UK next Starma having a
- 25:03Speaker 2: meeting with the EU overnight tonight. Are they going to read?
- 25:07Speaker 2: Are they going to unbrick it?
- 25:08Speaker 1: No?
- 25:09Speaker 2: But what are they going to do?
- 25:10Speaker 7: Then?
- 25:11Speaker 1: International correspondence with insign Eye Insurance Peace of Mind for
- 25:15Speaker 1: New Zealand Business.
- 25:17Speaker 2: News Talk DIDB. It is fourteen minutes away from sixth
- 25:19Speaker 2: Simeon Brown in just a few moments. Gavin Gray are
- 25:21Speaker 2: UK correspondent with US tonight evening his time, Gevin, good morning,
- 25:26Speaker 2: Hi there right now. So we've got this meeting between
- 25:29Speaker 2: the EU and the UK. It's a bilateral one, it's
- 25:32Speaker 2: post brick st and what are we going to get
- 25:34Speaker 2: out of it? Do you think?
- 25:36Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 25:36Speaker 15: I think it's going to be very very interesting. The
- 25:38Speaker 15: Government's got a very very fine line to tread here.
- 25:42Speaker 15: This is the first bilateral summit since Brexit. Described by
- 25:45Speaker 15: our Prime Minister as a really significant moment, described by
- 25:49Speaker 15: others les Kin on Europe as a time to really
- 25:52Speaker 15: watch the fine print of what might be agreed now.
- 25:55Speaker 15: Make no mistake, the EU is the UK's largest trading
- 25:59Speaker 15: part and many think that we need a reset of
- 26:02Speaker 15: relations since these sort of slightly dismistrusting Brexit period, and
- 26:08Speaker 15: it is thought that we're likely to see announcements of
- 26:12Speaker 15: trade and security tie ups, including British access to about
- 26:16Speaker 15: two hundred and seventy billion New Zealand dollars worth of
- 26:19Speaker 15: the EU Defense Fund in what could be a big
- 26:22Speaker 15: boost for UK defense companies. But there are also reports
- 26:26Speaker 15: that this could be an agreement on allowing travelers from
- 26:29Speaker 15: Britain to use these eGates, the electronic gates at European airports,
- 26:33Speaker 15: which currently they can't do, and also big question marks
- 26:36Speaker 15: about food exports imports. Are we going to be able
- 26:40Speaker 15: to cut through the huge amount of red tape that's
- 26:43Speaker 15: been added since Brexit, which so many farmers are complaining about.
- 26:47Speaker 15: And another thing that's been well mooted here is this
- 26:50Speaker 15: youth mobility scheme, where at the moment we have, of
- 26:53Speaker 15: course youngsters under the age of thirty from Australia and
- 26:56Speaker 15: New Zealand are how to come and work in the
- 26:58Speaker 15: UK for a year, maybe two years, depending on the agreement.
- 27:02Speaker 15: Nothing for the EU, so that may be up for
- 27:04Speaker 15: grabs as well. But plenty who voted for Brexit here
- 27:07Speaker 15: and a deeply untrusting of this government are looking at
- 27:10Speaker 15: the fine print of what's been agreed saying we don't
- 27:12Speaker 15: want Brexit by the back law.
- 27:14Speaker 2: Interesting, Gavin, thank you for that, Gavin Gray. Are you
- 27:17Speaker 2: you're a correspondent with us this morning? Just gone over
- 27:19Speaker 2: coming up to twelve minutes away from six. The Catholics
- 27:22Speaker 2: as well will be happy the first inauguration mass held
- 27:27Speaker 2: by Pope Leo overnight and he's talking about ukraineing justin
- 27:31Speaker 2: lasting piece ceter. It's interesting, isn't it, Because it doesn't
- 27:33Speaker 2: matter how you view and people view these two men
- 27:35Speaker 2: very very differently, the Pope and Donald Trump. It doesn't
- 27:39Speaker 2: matter how you view them or who you think might
- 27:41Speaker 2: be going to heaven in this case. What matters this
- 27:44Speaker 2: power and leverage, and Trump has more than the Pope
- 27:47Speaker 2: on Ukraine. He will be the arbiter of whether any
- 27:50Speaker 2: ceasefire has agreed to is just gone twelve away from
- 27:53Speaker 2: six Brian Bridge. So another pre budget announcement for US
- 27:56Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty four million dollars over four years
- 27:59Speaker 2: for five new twenty four seven urgent healthcare clinics. That's
- 28:01Speaker 2: forty one million dollars a year. Counties Monaco, fung To
- 28:04Speaker 2: a Palmston, North Totong and d'need and Health Minister Sime
- 28:07Speaker 2: and Brown with me this morning. Mini'ster, good morning, Good
- 28:09Speaker 2: morning Ryan. So will these areas get a new clinic?
- 28:15Speaker 16: This will be about ensuring those communities have twenty four
- 28:20Speaker 16: to seven access to urgent and after ours care and health.
- 28:25Speaker 16: These animill grow through a procurement process. Most likely they'll
- 28:28Speaker 16: work with existing providers who may already be providing services,
- 28:32Speaker 16: say till eight o'clock or nine o'clock at night, and
- 28:34Speaker 16: look to extend those hours overnight to ensure that the
- 28:38Speaker 16: access to that service is there. It's for young parents
- 28:41Speaker 16: needing to have their children seen who come down sick.
- 28:44Speaker 16: It's about reducing pressure on emergency departments because we know
- 28:47Speaker 16: that around a third of patients who are turn up
- 28:49Speaker 16: at emergency departments are triage four or five, which are
- 28:53Speaker 16: lower acuity. Many of those can be seen in urgent
- 28:55Speaker 16: and after ours care clinics, so reducing pressure on hospitals,
- 28:58Speaker 16: providing access and supporting particularly those young families.
- 29:01Speaker 2: So this is private clinics. We will pay to go
- 29:04Speaker 2: after hours if there was enough of a demand, wouldn't
- 29:08Speaker 2: maybe open now already.
- 29:10Speaker 16: Look, this is about providing access and ensuring that access
- 29:13Speaker 16: is there and ensuring that people can receive that care.
- 29:17Speaker 2: So when you pay them to stay open, basically even
- 29:21Speaker 2: if they're making a loss, you'll cover.
- 29:23Speaker 16: It, that's right. It'll be about making sure that there
- 29:25Speaker 16: is access to these services. There will also be support
- 29:29Speaker 16: for people who do need that support to ensure they can.
- 29:34Speaker 16: You know, for lower income families, community services can't. But
- 29:37Speaker 16: the cost of the system is substantially cheaper if someone
- 29:40Speaker 16: is seen in primary care than if they turn up
- 29:42Speaker 16: to an emergency department. The cost difference is somewhere between
- 29:45Speaker 16: like a thousand dollars eight hundreds of thousand dollars if
- 29:47Speaker 16: someone turns up to an emergency department, whereas it's around
- 29:50Speaker 16: one hundred and fifty to two hundred dollars per person
- 29:52Speaker 16: if they turn up to an after ours care clinics.
- 29:55Speaker 16: So the cost of the systems a lot longer, it's
- 29:57Speaker 16: closer to home, it's more convenient. That's what we're trying
- 30:01Speaker 16: to know.
- 30:01Speaker 2: Well, the friend of mine is a doctor. He works
- 30:03Speaker 2: in an emergency department. He said, the problem is that
- 30:06Speaker 2: you've got people who come to the emergency department go
- 30:09Speaker 2: there because they know eventually they will be seen and
- 30:12Speaker 2: they don't have to pay anything. He said, you give
- 30:15Speaker 2: in the emergency department waiting room. You give people a
- 30:17Speaker 2: voucher that says, hey, go to this after ours clinic.
- 30:20Speaker 2: They can see you and you and you won't have
- 30:22Speaker 2: to pay because you were giving you this voucher. They
- 30:25Speaker 2: don't move because they are already in a queue. How
- 30:28Speaker 2: do you know you can only do so much?
- 30:31Speaker 16: Well. One of the challenges though, in many communities across
- 30:34Speaker 16: the country, the access to those services is quite limited
- 30:37Speaker 16: in terms of the hours. So, for example, the Middlemoor
- 30:39Speaker 16: Hospital emergency department is one of our busiest emergency departments.
- 30:44Speaker 16: There is no after Ours twenty four to seven clinic
- 30:47Speaker 16: in counties Manicau. So that's what we're doing here making
- 30:49Speaker 16: sure there isn't after ours clinic in counties manicaal So
- 30:52Speaker 16: there is an ability for those patients to be seen
- 30:54Speaker 16: elsewhere in the community.
- 30:56Speaker 2: But private one open at night. Yeah, well that's right.
- 31:00Speaker 16: So that's what this is all about, making sure there's
- 31:02Speaker 16: more access and supporting reducing pressure on the Regency Department.
- 31:06Speaker 2: Had one very very quick question. Have you had anyone
- 31:09Speaker 2: or any unions or anyone approach you about this new
- 31:11Speaker 2: pay parody stuff that you know the potential for a
- 31:14Speaker 2: deal being lodged or a case being lodged.
- 31:17Speaker 16: Look, though the legislation is very clear individuals unions are
- 31:22Speaker 16: able to lodge claims. There's a legislated process around that
- 31:27Speaker 16: and if parties can't agree, they can go to the
- 31:28Speaker 16: Employment Relations Authority.
- 31:30Speaker 2: Thanks for time, minister, appreciate it. Simmy and Brown and
- 31:32Speaker 2: the Health Minister with us this morning, just gone eight
- 31:34Speaker 2: minutes away from six News Talk saidb News.
- 31:37Speaker 1: And Views you trust to start your day's early editioned
- 31:41Speaker 1: with Ryan Bridge and One Room Make your Property Surge,
- 31:45Speaker 1: Simple News Talks.
- 31:46Speaker 2: Thanks the Sex News Talk zib I forgot to tell
- 31:48Speaker 2: you why Elton John was so upset, called the Starman
- 31:51Speaker 2: government a bunch of disgraceful losers. This morning it's all
- 31:55Speaker 2: over AI and there's a vote happening and everything. Well
- 31:58Speaker 2: there's proposals that the government's making over AI and copyright.
- 32:01Speaker 6: Have Listen to him, I think the government are just big,
- 32:04Speaker 6: absolute losers and I'm very angry about it, as you can.
- 32:08Speaker 2: Tell, yees. So he says that poor artists won't be
- 32:11Speaker 2: able to protect their work. Rich artists like him will,
- 32:14Speaker 2: but he's going into bat for the poorer ones. Five
- 32:16Speaker 2: away from six now, Mike said, Mike, good morning.
- 32:18Speaker 9: That's before we get to the white genocide from Elon
- 32:21Speaker 9: Musk and his AI up on that and so you're
- 32:25Speaker 9: just tapping in questions and it comes back on as
- 32:27Speaker 9: white genocide going on and so okay, and they had
- 32:30Speaker 9: to admit over the weekend that that's humans and the
- 32:32Speaker 9: problem with AI as everyone goes, oh, it must be right,
- 32:35Speaker 9: but it's not the humans in the background.
- 32:37Speaker 2: Well, it's a it's a sort of a mass scoop
- 32:40Speaker 2: of what we all think or people write exactly. So
- 32:44Speaker 2: the Warrior I watched your worries on Saturday. Did you
- 32:46Speaker 2: enjoy that? I really did, really one of the best
- 32:48Speaker 2: sides in the comp But I did think, and I
- 32:50Speaker 2: said to my mum, who was staying with me, the refs,
- 32:52Speaker 2: it's like that outsourced everything and everything goes to the
- 32:55Speaker 2: big that's been going on for a while.
- 32:56Speaker 9: The problem with league, Just to bring you up to speed,
- 33:00Speaker 9: the refs broadly are useless and have been for a
- 33:03Speaker 9: long period of time, so they rely on the bunker,
- 33:06Speaker 9: is what they call it.
- 33:07Speaker 2: Why have a riff? Then, very good question. Get rid
- 33:09Speaker 2: of that. Why have very good question?
- 33:11Speaker 9: So anyway, the problem was, and most people have seen

- 33:16Speaker 9: obviously knocked it on quite like really obviously knocked it on.
- 33:20Speaker 9: Referee missed it. And my argument is the referee was
- 33:22Speaker 9: asleep at the wheel because he knows he's got the bunker.
- 33:24Speaker 9: When when and don't go to the bunker.
- 33:26Speaker 2: Now, Fisher Harris, I'm sorry, but that was quite No,
- 33:29Speaker 2: it wasn't. It was if he's been tackled, you would

- 33:34Speaker 2: your shoulder in the ways.

- 33:43Speaker 9: Guy falls in front of them, runs into.
- 33:45Speaker 2: His shoulder, but he's put he's tackled in front of
