Speaker 3: and Z senior economists will join us just before six

1:10
Speaker 3: is seven up to five.
1:13
Speaker 2: The agenda.
1:15
Speaker 3: It is Friday, the twentieth of December. Dominique Pellico, the
1:19
Speaker 3: ex husband of Giselle Pillico, has been found guilty of
1:23
Speaker 3: aggravated rape and has received the maximum sentence of twenty
1:27
Speaker 3: years after drugging and abusing his wife.
1:30
Speaker 4: I want to express my gratitude, very profound to all
1:34
Speaker 4: the people who supported me during this difficult time. I
1:39
Speaker 4: wanted by opening the doors of this trial so that
1:44
Speaker 4: society could see what was happening. I never regretted this decision.
1:50
Speaker 3: What a brave, brave woman. The other the fifty men
1:53
Speaker 3: right have all been found guilty on various charges and
1:56
Speaker 3: were sentenced, and apparently it's a lot lower. I think
1:59
Speaker 3: the biggest one is fifteen years. I'll run through this
2:01
Speaker 3: for you a little bit later on, because those fifty guys,
2:03
Speaker 3: they're just as scumming as the guy as the hospital
2:06
Speaker 3: that day. But they kind of got off, you could say, anyway.
2:09
Speaker 3: Our URIs Amazon workers have gone on strike after Amazon
2:12
Speaker 3: ignored a deadline for contract negotiations, which had been set
2:15
Speaker 3: by the Teamsters. Workers at seven warehouses across the country
2:19
Speaker 3: are taking part. Amazon, who don't recognize the union, says
2:22
Speaker 3: it doesn't expect the strike to impact services. Merry Christmas
2:25
Speaker 3: to you now. Vladimir Putin has held his annual end
2:29
Speaker 3: of year press conference. It's a monster. He's following in
2:32
Speaker 3: the steps of Donald Trump. This one took almost five hours.
2:35
Speaker 3: For and a bit hours. He was asked about the
2:37
Speaker 3: war in Ukraine as well as Russia's power when compared
2:40
Speaker 3: to the United States.
2:42
Speaker 5: I have to say the situation is changing drastically. Our
2:45
Speaker 5: military men are regaining territory by square kilometer. I believe
2:49
Speaker 5: that Russia has become significantly stronger over the last two
2:52
Speaker 5: to three years. Why, because we're becoming a truly sovereign country.
2:56
Speaker 3: I'll try and run you through all of the stuff,
2:58
Speaker 3: he said. He said an awful lot. It was fine,
3:00
Speaker 3: but he did say he wished he invaded Ukraine earlier,
3:04
Speaker 3: so maybe that a bit later. Meanwhile, the South Korean
3:06
Speaker 3: MPs here's one hundred North Korean troops have been killed
3:09
Speaker 3: in Ukraine while fighting for Russia. About ten thousand troops
3:13
Speaker 3: from the DPRK North Korea have been sent to Ukraine
3:17
Speaker 3: and to Japan, a country which has some of the
3:19
Speaker 3: world's strictest rubbish sorting rules. The place is so tidy,
3:23
Speaker 3: I tell you. New regulations in the city of Fukushima
3:27
Speaker 3: were coming to force early next year to publicly name
3:29
Speaker 3: and shame those who don't sort there rubbish correctly. City
3:32
Speaker 3: had over nine thousand cases of non compliance last year.
3:37
Speaker 3: It's ten out of five.
3:39
Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day Early
3:42
Speaker 1: edition with Andrew Dickens and Smith's City, New Zealand's Furniture
3:46
Speaker 1: Beds and Appliant store Youth Talk zippy.
3:49
Speaker 3: I enjoy waking up this early because you get the
3:51
Speaker 3: afternoon and yesterday where I was was a beautiful blue
3:56
Speaker 3: sky day. In fact, look, i'm as an awkward right.
4:00
Speaker 3: In fact, I would have to say it was one
4:01
Speaker 3: of the best days in Auckland I've ever experienced in
4:04
Speaker 3: the fifty nine years that I've lived here. It was blue,
4:11
Speaker 3: it was warm, and the high tide was just after eleven.
4:14
Speaker 3: So I walked about a kilometer and I got to
4:16
Speaker 3: a beach. The air was just as warm as you want.
4:19
Speaker 3: It was sheltered from the southwester The beach looked like
4:22
Speaker 3: some sort of ad for the Italian River era. It
4:24
Speaker 3: was full of holiday and students and retired couples, full
4:28
Speaker 3: of laughter and boom boxes and barbecues. And this was
4:32
Speaker 3: a Thursday. And so I had a swim at eleven
4:35
Speaker 3: o'clock in the morning. The sea was cold, Oh, but
4:37
Speaker 3: it was lovely once he got in, just like the cliche.
4:42
Speaker 3: And then I walked home going wow. Met a couple
4:46
Speaker 3: of blokes I knew, said wow. They said wow. We
4:49
Speaker 3: all said wow. It was so good. We went to
4:50
Speaker 3: a cafe, ordered a French toast. It was delicious. This
4:56
Speaker 3: day was just the best day. And then I opened
4:59
Speaker 3: my phone and discovered that New Zealand was in the
5:01
Speaker 3: worst recession since nineteen ninety one. There we go, that's funny.
5:05
Speaker 3: Everyone seems so happy on the beach, in the township,
5:08
Speaker 3: in the cafe, all over the place. But according to
5:12
Speaker 3: my phone, we're at a deep and dark place. Later
5:16
Speaker 3: I opened a story by Liam Dan of course from
5:18
Speaker 3: the Herald, and he said, don't panic his thoughts, where
5:23
Speaker 3: these figures are a measure from the past. The past
5:25
Speaker 3: has been. It's not the future. It's not even now.
5:28
Speaker 3: He says, the future has green shoots. Liam says, if
5:31
Speaker 3: you survive twenty twenty four, you've been through the worse.
5:34
Speaker 3: He says, keep calm and carry on, but that twenty
5:37
Speaker 3: twenty five will not be some new paradise, new Nuvarna
5:41
Speaker 3: or whatever. Some are still going to fall during the year.
5:44
Speaker 3: But as he said, if you've made it this far,
5:47
Speaker 3: well done, and for God's sake, carry on because this
5:51
Speaker 3: is not forever. And can I just say, when time
5:54
Speaker 3: is seeing tough, step outside, look around. We live in
5:57
Speaker 3: a natural paradise. It's just the human one that we're
5:59
Speaker 3: stuff done.
6:01
Speaker 2: Andrew Dickens, all.
6:02
Speaker 3: Right, talk back Call of the Day. I see that
6:04
Speaker 3: Roman's already been talking about it all morning long. Chris
6:07
Speaker 3: Luxeon's not going to White Tongy this year. So what
6:09
Speaker 3: it says Caul, He doesn't have to go White Tugy
6:12
Speaker 3: days for all of New Zealand that's up and down
6:14
Speaker 3: the country. There are plenty of places where he can
6:16
Speaker 3: go to celebrate. So he's decided not to go to
6:19
Speaker 3: White Toungy. All the Prime Minister, at some stage or
6:22
Speaker 3: another decide not to go white into White Tongy. So
6:24
Speaker 3: what I though, have always said, if I was Prime Minister,
6:28
Speaker 3: I was always go. I would always go. I would
6:30
Speaker 3: always go because it's the day and it's the place
6:35
Speaker 3: and despite the odd rucus and flying dildos, it's actually
6:38
Speaker 3: a very cool vibe. The food's amazing, the people are good,
6:43
Speaker 3: the scenes are amazing. The lord in front of White
6:45
Speaker 3: Tonguey is incredible. Have you been. Have you ever been
6:49
Speaker 3: before you professed an opinion over the course of today,
6:51
Speaker 3: you should. It's quite moving and it's a beautiful place.
6:56
Speaker 3: But for me, the Prime Minister not going is not
6:58
Speaker 3: a big deal. But if you haven't a opinion, feel
7:00
Speaker 3: free to text me ninety two ninety two. Small charge applies,
7:03
Speaker 3: because that's what we're here for, for you to have
7:06
Speaker 3: an opinion. Speaking about opinions, David Simol has been working
7:10
Speaker 3: on new freedom of speech rules for universities. He believes
7:16
Speaker 3: that they've been down the wrong track. It's kind of
7:19
Speaker 3: strange to have rules about freedom, but he's drawn them
7:24
Speaker 3: up and we'll talk about them next and we'll talk
7:25
Speaker 3: to the universities and whether they like them. It is
7:28
Speaker 3: five fourteen.
7:30
Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines. Andrew Dickins on early edition
7:34
Speaker 1: with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture bids and Appliant store
7:38
Speaker 1: US talks.
7:38
Speaker 3: It'd be yes. It is sixteen out to five. The
7:41
Speaker 3: government has announced changes to free speech rules for universities.
7:45
Speaker 3: It says it's concerned that they are currently taking a
7:47
Speaker 3: risk based approach and they need more diverse opinions. The
7:52
Speaker 3: new rules will set out expectations for universities on how
7:55
Speaker 3: to approach freedom of speech issues, and each one will
7:58
Speaker 3: have to adopt a free speech statement. Universities will also
8:02
Speaker 3: be prohibited from taking positions on issues that don't relate
8:05
Speaker 3: to their core functions. I'm sorry, I thought we're talking
8:09
Speaker 3: about freedom of speech. There there's a prohibition. Sandra Gray
8:12
Speaker 3: is the Tertiary Education Union president, joins me. Now, Hello Sandra, Sandra, Sorry,
8:17
Speaker 3: good morning, good morning. It is a little ironic that
8:21
Speaker 3: there's all these new rules on freedom of speech which
8:23
Speaker 3: takes away your freedom.
8:25
Speaker 6: Look, I thought you made a really good link there.
8:28
Speaker 6: You know, we want freedom of speech, and yet we
8:30
Speaker 6: want to prohibit what universities can and can't do. It's
8:33
Speaker 6: a bit heavy handed, this approach to campus based speech,
8:37
Speaker 6: to what goes on on university campuses, and it's good reasons.
8:41
Speaker 6: We don't want individual governments dictating what can and can't
8:45
Speaker 6: be talked about on a university campus.
8:48
Speaker 3: Exactly. Okay, so you're worry. I believe is that it
8:51
Speaker 3: will allow disinformation, misinformation, lies and untruths to be spread
8:55
Speaker 3: at a place of intellectual and scientific rigor.
8:58
Speaker 6: Look, we do need a universities to be very rigorous
9:01
Speaker 6: in our house. Debate is conducted in what said there,
9:05
Speaker 6: and we really don't need another space because there are
9:08
Speaker 6: many many spaces where people can go out and just
9:11
Speaker 6: say anything they think, anything they like, off the top
9:14
Speaker 6: of their head without evidence. That's not what universities are for.
9:18
Speaker 6: It's not going to help the New Zealand communities that
9:21
Speaker 6: need research, that need rigorous research. It isn't going to
9:25
Speaker 6: help us, as you know, academic communities be involved in
9:29
Speaker 6: good debate. All this is going to do is give
9:32
Speaker 6: people who have no background and an issue another platform,
9:36
Speaker 6: another space to speak.
9:38
Speaker 3: Well, the whole thing is the legislation, and this is
9:40
Speaker 3: out of the legislation's words. Will require universities to actively
9:44
Speaker 3: promote an environment where ideas can be challenged, controversial issues discussed,
9:48
Speaker 3: and diverse opinions expressed, and ensure that they are not
9:51
Speaker 3: constraining the freedom of speech rights of students, staff for
9:54
Speaker 3: invited speakers. It will also prohibit universities from adopting positions
9:58
Speaker 3: on issues that do not directly relate to their core
10:00
Speaker 3: role or functions. That's the whole thing about the legislation.
10:03
Speaker 3: Do you not already do that?
10:05
Speaker 6: Well, I would say that universities are already a space
10:08
Speaker 6: where ideas are hotly contested, and that's because that's how
10:12
Speaker 6: you come up with new innovative ideas. Academic freedom is
10:16
Speaker 6: already in legislation, and that's the rule that says you
10:19
Speaker 6: have a responsibility to speak truth to power, to actually
10:23
Speaker 6: say the controversial things that matter. So this seems like
10:27
Speaker 6: an unnecessary piece of legislation, and it does seem like
10:31
Speaker 6: it's going to interfere with the rights of the academic community,
10:35
Speaker 6: with the rights of students to actually get on and
10:38
Speaker 6: do the stuff they're already doing. Well, because since the
10:41
Speaker 6: government can say that's not your coll business, well, what's
10:44
Speaker 6: not all business?
10:46
Speaker 3: What will your free speech statement say?
10:50
Speaker 6: What will the free speech statements say? Well, actually, I
10:53
Speaker 6: think universities have to have stronger academic freedom statements which
10:57
Speaker 6: provide an obligation for academics to be involve in the
11:00
Speaker 6: big debates of our age and do it with riga.
11:04
Speaker 6: Not do it because they go wake up one morning
11:06
Speaker 6: and say, I just want to go out and talk
11:08
Speaker 6: about you know, climate change. I don't know anything about it.
11:11
Speaker 6: I never researched it, but I want to go and
11:13
Speaker 6: talk about it. We don't want that, all right for
11:15
Speaker 6: our academic.
11:16
Speaker 3: Community, Sandra, Merry Christmas, thank you so much for waking
11:19
Speaker 3: up early and joining us. All right, what do you
11:23
Speaker 3: think of all that? Ninety two ninety two? It is
11:24
Speaker 3: now five nineteen. There's a new way of actually reporting
11:27
Speaker 3: scams and directly to the authorities. And we'll run you
11:30
Speaker 3: through that new techniquest.
11:33
Speaker 2: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with
11:38
Speaker 2: Andrew Dickens and Smith City New Zealand's furniture bids and
11:41
Speaker 2: applying store youth talks.
11:42
Speaker 3: That'd be Sid's true, Andrew. We had the best day
11:45
Speaker 3: ever in APU yesterday. It rained all day. That's actually true.
11:50
Speaker 3: It's so dry on the east, it's wet on the west.
11:53
Speaker 3: It's a classic summer, all right. The governments announced an
11:56
Speaker 3: easy way for technology companies to report scams directly to
11:59
Speaker 3: the Department Internal Affairs it means why mobile phone report
12:04
Speaker 3: junk on scam text messages. It will be reported straight
12:07
Speaker 3: to the department. Danaebers Earlier is the founder and chief
12:11
Speaker 3: technology officer of Rush Digital. Hello, Dan, welcome to the show.
12:16
Speaker 3: Tell you what's this? What's this new kite?
12:21
Speaker 7: So I think you know a little bit of background.
12:23
Speaker 7: You know, New Zealanders, it was about two hundred million
12:26
Speaker 7: dollars a year and that's a rising number to scams,
12:31
Speaker 7: and online scams are.
12:32
Speaker 2: A big part of that.
12:33
Speaker 7: And I think we've all probably received some form of
12:36
Speaker 7: fishing text where you know, there's an unpaid poll or
12:39
Speaker 7: some something some plan about of your bank and our
12:42
Speaker 7: link to a dodgy u ur L that unfortunately a
12:45
Speaker 7: lot of people do click on. Recently, private enterprise like
12:51
Speaker 7: Apple and Google, the guys that provide all our cell phones,
12:54
Speaker 7: as well as sort of the connectivity company like Spark
12:59
Speaker 7: and one of dead they've all kind of realized that
13:02
Speaker 7: we all have to work together to solve this problem
13:04
Speaker 7: because it's fairly complicated. And what this new feature does
13:08
Speaker 7: means that when I use a symbol user identifies one
13:11
Speaker 7: of these scam texts, they can easily report that as
13:16
Speaker 7: spamm to through their phone and it goes for central
13:20
Speaker 7: database and the ISPs like one Who's ed in Stark
13:24
Speaker 7: as well as the iPhone makers and a whole bunch
13:27
Speaker 7: of other government agencies get access to that information and
13:30
Speaker 7: they can do things like block text messages that have
13:34
Speaker 7: the same information from continuing to go out. So it's
13:37
Speaker 7: kind of crowdsourcing this information to protect others.
13:40
Speaker 3: So you just basically have a pressure button on your
13:43
Speaker 3: phone and boom, everybody gets to know, from the Depound
13:45
Speaker 3: of Internal Affairs to your phone provider to everybody.
13:49
Speaker 7: Yeah, it basically gets an info analysis and if it's
13:52
Speaker 7: you know, effectively there's a bunch of these, then yeah,
13:55
Speaker 7: they can be blocked. It's a really easy thing to do.
13:57
Speaker 7: So now I think on iOS or Apple Vice is
14:00
Speaker 7: you just sort of delete delete a message from an
14:03
Speaker 7: unknown sender and it kind of brings up the option
14:05
Speaker 7: do you want to report this as junk? And that's
14:08
Speaker 7: it's as simple as.
14:09
Speaker 6: That for you.
14:09
Speaker 3: And do you think it will make a big difference.
14:12
Speaker 7: Yeah, Look, Australia is implemented a really proactive approach with
14:18
Speaker 7: a sort of a department for the National Anti Scam
14:22
Speaker 7: or Anti Crimps Online crime ministry or whatever, and then
14:27
Speaker 7: you know, in about a year, this kind of approach
14:31
Speaker 7: has has has seen to you know, reduce the reduce
14:36
Speaker 7: the success of these things quite considerably. It's a pretty
14:39
Speaker 7: good strategy, right, Like you get two or three of
14:41
Speaker 7: these things to users that you know are suspicious, and
14:46
Speaker 7: the next couple of thousand are completely blocked. Right, So
14:49
Speaker 7: it's a it's a pretty good approach, and I'm really
14:52
Speaker 7: happy it's happening. Actually it's a bit late, to be honest.
14:55
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, everything's a bit late. Dan, I thank you
14:58
Speaker 3: for waking up earlier. Marry Christ is to you as
15:00
Speaker 3: five twenty five, the early.
15:02
Speaker 1: Edition Full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News Talks
15:06
Speaker 1: at me.
15:08
Speaker 3: Lots of text about the freedom of speech. Here's one
15:11
Speaker 3: universities are not rigorous. Because here's the thing, do they
15:13
Speaker 3: need freedom of speech rules? Universities are not rigorous, writes
15:17
Speaker 3: my text of they Woke. Climate change is one subject
15:20
Speaker 3: where people were fired for disagreeing with the BS. Though
15:22
Speaker 3: I do understand that the universities would argue that they
15:25
Speaker 3: are in fact bringing scientific rigor because they believe the
15:27
Speaker 3: science is right. But there we go. There's an opinion.
15:32
Speaker 3: It is our five twenty seven. Hey, we're here. We
15:34
Speaker 3: made it last editorial for the year.
15:36
Speaker 2: What a year.
15:36
Speaker 3: Ray started in January with goldris shoplifting. This year we
15:40
Speaker 3: watched ten thousand jobs go from the public sector. Then
15:44
Speaker 3: the private sector followed suit. We kind of forget about that.
15:47
Speaker 3: Cash stop bouncing around the economy. National blame labor for everything,
15:50
Speaker 3: Labor blame national. We watch Scott Robertson fail to be
15:53
Speaker 3: the second Coming. But when the all backs were good,
15:56
Speaker 3: they were very good. Positive about the future. The treat
16:00
Speaker 3: Principles Act debate came saw and divided. The Hikoi invaded Parliament.
16:05
Speaker 3: Hey but they didn't set up camp An. Entire newsroom disappeared.
16:08
Speaker 3: Others seemed vulnerable, So that will be less eyes on
16:11
Speaker 3: the game, whether you like it or not. Construction crash,
16:13
Speaker 3: power surged and price mills closed, and towns pondered what
16:16
Speaker 3: are we going to do next? The snow fell late,
16:19
Speaker 3: a football team landed on the ground running. We found
16:21
Speaker 3: out that state care in history in this country is
16:24
Speaker 3: not caring. In fact, it's a national shame. A war
16:27
Speaker 3: in Ukraine rolled on a war and Gaza started. A
16:29
Speaker 3: country finally expelled its dictator Iran bombed Israel, Israel bombed Iran.
16:34
Speaker 3: World War three sent closer than ever. China eyed Taiwan,
16:39
Speaker 3: China eyed the Pacific, The States eyed China. We were
16:42
Speaker 3: asked to choose sides more and more. Donald Trump won America.
16:45
Speaker 3: He said, let's keep it simple and keep America first,
16:48
Speaker 3: and tariffs are coming back. We will never forget you
16:52
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four. But frankly, we're all sick of the
16:55
Speaker 3: sight of you. We were saying the other day. Here
16:59
Speaker 3: we are doing earlier day and breakfast shows right up
17:01
Speaker 3: to Christmas with meaty issues. What happened to the old
17:04
Speaker 3: days where in December we all just got a bit,
17:08
Speaker 3: you know, loose and talked about shorts or jandles for summer,
17:13
Speaker 3: or what is the best ice cream and where's the
17:15
Speaker 3: best beat. No, we've been doing big stuff right up
17:18
Speaker 3: to the end. Twenty twenty four. You delivered, and at
17:22
Speaker 3: the same time you're paying the bum. And so it's
17:25
Speaker 3: time for all of us to go to our families,
17:26
Speaker 3: go to our favorite places, watch another summrise, rest and recuperate,
17:31
Speaker 3: because in twenty twenty six we've got a big job
17:35
Speaker 3: fixing all this stuff up. Dickens and speaking of which,
17:39
Speaker 3: we will be talking to the A and Z Senior
17:41
Speaker 3: economist about the pit that is our economy in twenty
17:45
Speaker 3: minutes time.
17:46
Speaker 8: Good morning, Andrew Dickens on early edition with Smith City,
17:56
Speaker 8: New Zealand's Furniture Beds and applying store youth talk.
17:59
Speaker 9: Siddy, what a song and you only need one?
18:20
Speaker 3: Might there, don't you? Snoopy's Christmas? I reckon STEVEE would
18:26
Speaker 3: have done rock better if he wasn't flying a dog box.
18:29
Speaker 3: I mean, dog boxes are not aerodynamically designed, but never mind.
18:32
Speaker 3: Merry Christmas, everybody. I'm Andrew ditions Welcome to the program,
18:35
Speaker 3: So Merry Christmas. Liam Lawson, mate, you made it. Finally,
18:41
Speaker 3: what a soap opera. It is a tricky road navigating
18:44
Speaker 3: through Formula one. In Formula one, you've got to bring contacts.
18:49
Speaker 3: You know, you've got to bring money, You've got to
18:51
Speaker 3: bring marketing ability, and you need to bring value to
18:54
Speaker 3: the brand you're going to race for. And apparently you
18:56
Speaker 3: also need to be able to drive a car at
18:59
Speaker 3: a level above all others. You know, when you consider
19:02
Speaker 3: the whole world drives a car, but there's only twenty
19:04
Speaker 3: drivers who are given the privilege to drive these beasts
19:07
Speaker 3: each year. Once you get there, you are very much
19:10
Speaker 3: the best driver in the world, even the back runners,
19:13
Speaker 3: you know, even the v botas even but as better
19:19
Speaker 3: driver than you could ever imagine. But you know, Liam
19:22
Speaker 3: Lawson always had a destiny to make the team. He
19:25
Speaker 3: was chosen by red Ball early and despite his young age,
19:29
Speaker 3: he has served a very long apprenticeship and he's seen
19:32
Speaker 3: some stuff, but that doesn't mean the seat would automatically
19:35
Speaker 3: be his. And so he's had to fight his way
19:38
Speaker 3: through this pool of sharks. He had to ride his luck.
19:41
Speaker 3: He had to know when to open his mouth and
19:42
Speaker 3: be lippy and when to shut up. There were many
19:45
Speaker 3: sliding doors moments when the movements of other drivers could
19:48
Speaker 3: have affected his path, but he stayed true and he won.
19:51
Speaker 3: He did it and he now has this enormous opportunity
19:54
Speaker 3: in front of him. So look, congratulations to the entire
19:58
Speaker 3: Lawson family. You've all been involved, you've all worked hard,
20:03
Speaker 3: and you deserve it.
20:05
Speaker 2: Andrew Dickens, let's go around the country.
20:07
Speaker 3: Black Betty joins us to talk about Dnedain Hallo Blake. Hi, Andrew,
20:11
Speaker 3: how are you good? We're going to talk about the
20:13
Speaker 3: Australasian harrier or coho, which is a great bird, and
20:17
Speaker 3: we find out it's even greater than we thought.
20:20
Speaker 10: That's right, it's actually been trapped for the first time,
20:22
Speaker 10: flying an impressive sixteen thousand kilometers to Otango.
20:26
Speaker 3: Now.
20:26
Speaker 10: The bird is known to travel large areas, but the
20:28
Speaker 10: distance hasn't been trapped until now. The adult male made
20:31
Speaker 10: the journey from the one cato in under two weeks.
20:34
Speaker 10: Doc is monitoring the bird to better understand how it
20:37
Speaker 10: interacts and praise on threatened native birds. Tenantal advisor Thomas
20:41
Speaker 10: Emmett says they don't know the extent of their threat
20:44
Speaker 10: and hope to learn how much time they spend foraging
20:46
Speaker 10: around places were vulnerable natives live.
20:49
Speaker 3: Why do go to Dunedin? I mean, what's wrong with
20:51
Speaker 3: the white Keadow? It was too hot in the White Keado?
20:53
Speaker 3: Did you want to cool the weather? But hold on,
20:55
Speaker 3: it's been twenty seven degrees in Dunedin. No one knows
20:57
Speaker 3: why he went out.
21:00
Speaker 10: Not at this stage, but hopefully that question will be
21:02
Speaker 10: answered absolutely.
21:03
Speaker 3: How's your weather down there?
21:05
Speaker 10: So it's rain possibly heavy this morning fresh southeasterly is
21:08
Speaker 10: turning southwesterly this afternoon.
21:10
Speaker 3: Hive twelve silly, Harriet, see you should have stayed in Hamilton.
21:13
Speaker 3: I thank you, Claire. Show what joins us now? Hella Claire?
21:16
Speaker 3: Good morning, Gee, what a surprise Canterbury's banned fireworks.
21:20
Speaker 11: Well it is a bit of a surprise, Andrew, because
21:22
Speaker 11: it's pouring with rain this morning. But Fire and Emergency
21:25
Speaker 11: New Zealand has imposed a temporary ban for fireworks. It
21:28
Speaker 11: affects the Porthills, Banks Peninsula and Kaitori tes Spit from
21:32
Speaker 11: about twelve or from twelfth this afternoon until January sixth.
21:36
Speaker 11: The Canterbury District Commander Dave Stakhouse says they did make
21:39
Speaker 11: a similar move to this last year. It did almost
21:42
Speaker 11: eradicate the number of fires caused by fireworks over the
21:45
Speaker 11: holiday period, so it clearly works.
21:47
Speaker 6: He says.
21:47
Speaker 11: We have already had an early start to the fire
21:49
Speaker 11: season and despite recent rain or rain right now, it's
21:53
Speaker 11: going to dry out really quickly. He says he's trying
21:55
Speaker 11: to mitigate the risk but also give his firefighters a break.
21:58
Speaker 3: Absolutely, it's called common sense.
22:00
Speaker 11: How is the weather today pouring down as I say,
22:03
Speaker 11: possibly heavy falls at times, southeasterlyas turning fresh southwest and
22:07
Speaker 11: high of sixteen thank you.
22:09
Speaker 3: Azariah Howell joins us from Wellington. Hello is Ai, Hello,
22:13
Speaker 3: tell me about Wellington's top dogs.
22:15
Speaker 12: Yeah, so this is a great story. The Wellington City
22:18
Speaker 12: Councils released a list of the most common dog names
22:21
Speaker 12: and also the most unusual, summing up the year that
22:24
Speaker 12: was twenty twenty four. The most popular pups were called Charlie,
22:28
Speaker 12: followed by Poppy, then Bella, Luna and Coco, all kind
22:31
Speaker 12: of what you'd expect used in more than one hundred
22:34
Speaker 12: dog registrations each this year, but quirky dogs were also
22:39
Speaker 12: highlighted in the list. The council says some of the
22:42
Speaker 12: most unusual pups registered are and I quote big Fudge, Flash, Sparkle,
22:48
Speaker 12: Moonbeam and Charlie, Meatball, wiggle bottom. So if you see
22:52
Speaker 12: a dog walking around the Capitol, there are chances that
22:54
Speaker 12: it could be one of these interestingly named pups.
22:58
Speaker 3: So cool, I thank you. And what's the weather?
23:00
Speaker 12: Yeah, gloomy weather as well today it's continuing rain, turning
23:04
Speaker 12: to showers this afternoon, possibly heavy high of sixteen.
23:08
Speaker 3: Thank you, and nor could Wendy Petrie.
23:09
Speaker 13: Hello Wendy, Good morning Andrews.
23:11
Speaker 3: So there's a whole lot of members of a golf
23:13
Speaker 3: club who want their fees refunders.
23:15
Speaker 13: Yeah, they're not very happy. Members of Auckland's Funga Parawa
23:17
Speaker 13: community are banding together to liquidate the owners of an
23:20
Speaker 13: abandoned golf course. It is the Golf Harbor country Club.
23:25
Speaker 13: Now Ow's nearly four hundred thousand dollars a membership refunds
23:28
Speaker 13: after abruptly closing Golf Harbor country Club in July last year.
23:32
Speaker 13: It's on top of another fifty five million dollars owner
23:35
Speaker 13: greeg oliver Ow's to lenders and the b n z
23:37
Speaker 13: A community group has consolidated the debt of more than
23:40
Speaker 13: twenty five local creditors, and its legal advisor says that
23:44
Speaker 13: the owner must have a payment pen by Friday or
23:47
Speaker 13: face at the High court. Locals would like to see
23:49
Speaker 13: the course restored to a world class facility.
23:52
Speaker 3: Would you like to buy it?
23:54
Speaker 13: Have you got to the golf phase?
23:56
Speaker 3: Yes, well I think you need a hundred million dollars
23:57
Speaker 3: to do it. Oh yeah, that's another TIB. That is
23:59
Speaker 3: a problem that the locals have actually restored a couple
24:01
Speaker 3: of holes. They have they've they've got sat there because
24:04
Speaker 3: it's all overgrown. Now the greens are green. You know,
24:07
Speaker 3: it's all gone overgrown, but they've actually restored a couple
24:09
Speaker 3: of holes.
24:10
Speaker 13: Such a lot of maintenance.
24:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then they realize just how much maintenance happens
24:13
Speaker 3: as the greenkeeper. So there we go. How's Aukland's were now?
24:16
Speaker 13: Well, sounds like it's a bit showery around the country
24:18
Speaker 13: and we're heading that way. And two partly cloudy showers
24:20
Speaker 13: developed this afternoon, some heavy with thunderstorms possible northwesterlyis and
24:25
Speaker 13: a twenty five degree high.
24:26
Speaker 3: Thank you so much, Wendy. And this is your last
24:28
Speaker 3: working day of the year, so enjoying a Christmas for
24:30
Speaker 3: your family.
24:30
Speaker 13: Thank you and to you.
24:31
Speaker 3: It is seventeen to six. And by the way, with
24:33
Speaker 3: all the rain around the country, you need it. And
24:35
Speaker 3: it's fair to say people complain about rain. I never
24:38
Speaker 3: complain about rain. The perfect summer for me is five
24:41
Speaker 3: days of sun and maybe a day of rain, and
24:45
Speaker 3: maybe a few showers in a cloudy day as well,
24:47
Speaker 3: just to keep cool. That's the perfect day of summer
24:49
Speaker 3: so my garden doesn't dry out and everything dies. Last
24:52
Speaker 3: year my leamentry completely died, lost all the leaves. It
24:55
Speaker 3: was just too dry. I went away for two weeks
24:57
Speaker 3: it went poer, So bring on the rain and then
25:01
Speaker 3: bring back the sun. It's a seventeen to six. Vladimir
25:06
Speaker 3: Putin had a press conference today for more than four
25:08
Speaker 3: hours and answered everything and in two minutes time. For
25:12
Speaker 3: about two minutes, Vincent mcavini will try and summarize what
25:15
Speaker 3: he said.
25:16
Speaker 1: International correspondence with ends an eye insurance peace of mind
25:20
Speaker 1: for New Zealand Business fourteen.
25:23
Speaker 3: To six from Europe. Vincent MCAVINNI, Good morning and Merry Christmas.
25:28
Speaker 14: Good morning, Merry Christmas.
25:29
Speaker 3: All right. Obviously, the senators handed down in the case
25:32
Speaker 3: of Gazelle Pelico and her husband received the maximum twenty
25:36
Speaker 3: year sentence. That's not a surprise for drugging his wife,
25:38
Speaker 3: raping her and inviting dozens of strangers. But there's some
25:40
Speaker 3: disappointment about the sentences for the fifty other men, aren't they.
25:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.
25:45
Speaker 14: This horrific case is grip not only France but the
25:48
Speaker 14: world really and it came to its conclusion after three
25:51
Speaker 14: months this morning. So, as you mentioned, Shazelle A Pelico's husband,
25:54
Speaker 14: Domnique Pelico, received a twenty year sentence, the maximum sentence
25:59
Speaker 14: for what he did. He's also under investigation for another
26:02
Speaker 14: alleged rape and potentially alleged murder as well.
26:06
Speaker 3: And then there was.
26:07
Speaker 14: A trial of fifty other men of the seventy two
26:11
Speaker 14: that says believed to have he's had abusing her. That's
26:14
Speaker 14: been documented in all this video and horrific footage. The
26:18
Speaker 14: fifty that they were able to identify, they have been
26:22
Speaker 14: given sentences sort of between five and eight years, so
26:25
Speaker 14: not the maximum in the categories that they were going for.
26:27
Speaker 14: So there is some disappointment in that we don't know
26:31
Speaker 14: whether some of them are the will appeal. But Miss
26:34
Speaker 14: Perico addressed France on leaving saying she regretted los giving
26:39
Speaker 14: up her anonymity to come forward. She said it was
26:41
Speaker 14: right to transfer the shame to these men. It was
26:44
Speaker 14: quite an extraordinary scene outside the court, the world's press there,
26:47
Speaker 14: all of these you know, men that had abused her,
26:52
Speaker 14: was sort of trapsing into the court in the morning
26:54
Speaker 14: just before she went in. So some extraordinary strength on
26:59
Speaker 14: display from this.
27:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, she was amazing, She was amazing. But most of
27:03
Speaker 3: these men, the fifty men on trial, denied that what
27:05
Speaker 3: they did was right because she was unconscious and therefore
27:08
Speaker 3: did not know that they were raping her, and that
27:10
Speaker 3: means France is having this huge discussion now about the
27:12
Speaker 3: legal definition of rape and it's just terrific really. So
27:17
Speaker 3: we'll move on to Vledimir Putin, who just did the
27:20
Speaker 3: most epic end of year press conference more than four
27:23
Speaker 3: hours nearly five.
27:26
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, I think we can use a press
27:28
Speaker 14: conference somewhat in air quotes. There were questions from journalists there,
27:33
Speaker 14: but then there's also sort of questions planted somewhat by
27:37
Speaker 14: sort of callers allegedly calling in freely from around Russia.
27:42
Speaker 14: But it's never quite been clear who these people are.
27:44
Speaker 14: But he did take questions from the press that were there,
27:47
Speaker 14: including some Western journalists. Those sort of headlines were that,
27:51
Speaker 14: you know, he says that he should have gone into
27:52
Speaker 14: Ukraine earlier and that he admitted that more preparation was
27:56
Speaker 14: needed for what he's still calling his special military Operation.
28:00
Speaker 14: He said he hasn't arranged any meetings yet with a
28:03
Speaker 14: president allect Donald Trump, despite all the signals that they'll
28:06
Speaker 14: probably be getting around the negotiation table next year to
28:10
Speaker 14: try and come to some kind of settlement on the
28:12
Speaker 14: Ukraine War's though they said. He said though that he
28:16
Speaker 14: will be meeting Bashar Ala Sad, the deposed Syrian president
28:20
Speaker 14: now in Moscow. And he also sort of reflected on
28:25
Speaker 14: the fact that he says it wasn't a loss for Russia,
28:29
Speaker 14: it was simply a complicated situation, and that he's not
28:33
Speaker 14: spoken to Assad yet, but he expects to do so
28:36
Speaker 14: at some point.
28:37
Speaker 3: And look, you just said that at a minute, and
28:39
Speaker 3: it took him for in a bit of ours. Thank
28:41
Speaker 3: you so imagic viants as Megavini. Enjoy your Christmas and
28:44
Speaker 3: enjoy your family. And not only that, Flared tomir Putin
28:46
Speaker 3: also took the opportunity in this four and a half
28:48
Speaker 3: hours to address domestic issues, including telephone scammers, the country's
28:52
Speaker 3: low birth rate, and problems young people have facically been
28:55
Speaker 3: trying to get a mortgage, the same problems all over
28:58
Speaker 3: the world.
28:58
Speaker 2: It is teen to six Andrew Diggins.
29:02
Speaker 3: Well, it's not news because it happened yesterday. The gdpiggres
29:06
Speaker 3: were worse than we thought. It fell by one percent
29:08
Speaker 3: in the three months ending September to be one point
29:11
Speaker 3: five percent lower than a year ago the year This
29:12
Speaker 3: officially makes it the biggest recession since nineteen ninety one.
29:16
Speaker 3: The GDP and Q two being revised down. Henry Russell
29:20
Speaker 3: is the A and Z economist and joins you right
29:22
Speaker 3: now looking at this car crash, Henry, how did you feel?
29:27
Speaker 15: Well, there was certainly some shock factor yesterday when we
29:30
Speaker 15: saw the numbers. It really is to do with that
29:33
Speaker 15: these these large revisions we've seen in the last two quarters,
29:36
Speaker 15: and as you note, this is now the largest contraction
29:39
Speaker 15: of six months period going back to nineteen ninety one.
29:42
Speaker 15: That being said, you know, one might take from that
29:46
Speaker 15: that things that they're slowdown has certainly been much worse
29:49
Speaker 15: than fared, but it hasn't necessarily changed our expectation on
29:53
Speaker 15: what lies ahead. If you think about these data, they
29:56
Speaker 15: cover a period that finished nearly three months ago. Now
29:59
Speaker 15: in that time, the Reserve Bank has delivered one hundred
30:02
Speaker 15: basis points of cuts and we're seeing signs that the
30:04
Speaker 15: economy is already responding in high frequency indicators. So the
30:09
Speaker 15: hope is that this does bring to a close the
30:12
Speaker 15: economy's troubling period over the past couple of years and
30:14
Speaker 15: we will see a return to growth in the coming quarter.
30:17
Speaker 3: Should the government be investing more and I say this
30:22
Speaker 3: because Cameron bag we said at the beginning of the week,
30:24
Speaker 3: you know they've got to cut their spending, but they've
30:25
Speaker 3: also got to keep you know, firing on their part
30:27
Speaker 3: of the economy because they have a responsibility to do that.
30:30
Speaker 3: And of course the CEE to you who left leaning anyway,
30:33
Speaker 3: I was saying, oh, you should be investing in during
30:35
Speaker 3: a recession because it's never been cheaper, which I don't
30:37
Speaker 3: know where they got that from, but whatever, should they
30:39
Speaker 3: be continuing to spend, but it's going to be wise spending.
30:43
Speaker 15: I think it is important to note that, you know,
30:46
Speaker 15: going back to what the Treasury said in the half
30:48
Speaker 15: year update on Tuesday, the government is running structural fiscal
30:51
Speaker 15: deficits for as far as the eye can see. And secondly,
30:57
Speaker 15: the stabilizing stabilizing theonomy is not necessarily the role for government.
31:02
Speaker 15: It is actually the responsibility of the Reserve Bank through
31:05
Speaker 15: interest rates and the reason and the Reserve Bank certainly
31:08
Speaker 15: could cut interest rates further based on the data yesterday,
31:13
Speaker 15: but there's still some lingering inflation challenges out there. The
31:16
Speaker 15: Reserve Bank will need to weigh that against designs the
31:18
Speaker 15: economy is responding. So while we are traditionally fiscal policy
31:24
Speaker 15: should be countercyclical in nature, and by that use, the
31:28
Speaker 15: government should be spending during slowdowns or that's traditionally what's happened,
31:31
Speaker 15: but there's no money left in the kitty. Essentially, we
31:37
Speaker 15: do need to go through this period of consolidation because
31:41
Speaker 15: there is going to be another shock on the horizon
31:44
Speaker 15: at some point, and if we continue on the path
31:47
Speaker 15: we're on, we are not going to be able to
31:50
Speaker 15: respond to that crisis as may be necessary. So there
31:54
Speaker 15: is a I mean, the government certainly needs to balance
31:57
Speaker 15: both both sides of that.
32:00
Speaker 3: Said, Henry, enjoy your Christmas as well. Thank you so
32:02
Speaker 3: much for waking up early for us, and go well
32:04
Speaker 3: Mery Christmas, mate, very Christmas.
32:07
Speaker 6: Yeah.
32:08
Speaker 3: I see that the Bank of Ingland has kept interest
32:10
Speaker 3: rates the ocr at four point seventy five percent and
32:13
Speaker 3: their warning of stagflation for England that they are bad.
32:16
Speaker 3: There are bad economic news is all over the world
32:19
Speaker 3: right now. There's all sorts of flows. Could there be war,
32:22
Speaker 3: Could there be another earthquake? Could there be all sorts
32:24
Speaker 3: of stuff? We need to get the house in order,
32:26
Speaker 3: even though it hurts. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's seven
32:29
Speaker 3: to six.
32:30
