0:16
Speaker 2: to Manila, so is Marco Rubio. So's the Chinese and

0:22
Speaker 2: Gavin Gray's in the UK for US this morning, and
0:24
Speaker 2: we will speak to labor about National's announcement on consent.
0:28
Speaker 2: Why they're all bickering about it, the agenda, the twenty
0:33
Speaker 2: peo toly great to have your company this morning. Iran
0:35
Speaker 2: is heading civilian targets in Q eight. This is after
0:38
Speaker 2: two US servicemen died and then the Americans struck back.
0:43
Speaker 2: Now the Iranians striking them back in kind qui.
0:47
Speaker 3: Now that the American enemy is seeking to escalate conflict
0:50
Speaker 3: and there even heavier costs and greater disgrace, it should
0:54
Speaker 3: know that the deer Iranian nation and the Resistance Front
0:58
Speaker 3: have unforgettable lessons for it.
1:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, so all Beckon never really stopped. Put All Beckon Meanwhile,
1:03
Speaker 2: big weekend for Andy Burnham over in the UK is
1:05
Speaker 2: gearing up for number ten. Trump Reckings is going to
1:07
Speaker 2: get on. They also would forgive me turn on the
1:10
Speaker 2: tap in the North Sea, which of course Labor had
1:13
Speaker 2: turned off.
1:14
Speaker 4: He goes on to say, also, word is that the
1:17
Speaker 4: UK is going to move the old and horrible looking
1:19
Speaker 4: windmills which loom over and destroy the city of Aberdeen.
1:23
Speaker 4: That will be a big day for the country and
1:25
Speaker 4: will be very much appreciated by everybody.
1:28
Speaker 2: Now. The Deputy Labored Leader Lucy Powell had this to
1:31
Speaker 2: say about this.
1:32
Speaker 5: I think what.
1:33
Speaker 6: Andy's talking about is taking a more pragmatic approach and
1:36
Speaker 6: working with the industry to make sure that it can
1:39
Speaker 6: contribute to that transition. But I don't think it's a
1:43
Speaker 6: it's a change of policy. It is more a change
1:45
Speaker 6: of emphasis.
1:47
Speaker 2: Change of emphasis and a more pragmatic approach. That's political
1:51
Speaker 2: speak for a U turn. Anyway, we'll talk about that
1:53
Speaker 2: at about twenty minutes time. Meanwhile, there's also been reports
1:57
Speaker 2: that the Time's water the lenders up appearing a legal
2:00
Speaker 2: challenge because there is talk that Burnham, when he comes in,
2:05
Speaker 2: is going to nationalize the company.
2:07
Speaker 6: Let's be honest, I think this is something that we
2:09
Speaker 6: can all see the privatization of water hasn't worked. It's
2:14
Speaker 6: not created competition. What we've seen is bills going up
2:18
Speaker 6: and up and up over years and years and years,
2:20
Speaker 6: investment not being being made into the so you're open,
2:26
Speaker 6: so you're open. And then now these companies are in
2:29
Speaker 6: real distress.
2:30
Speaker 2: Finally, this morning, the Minisphere tape Bros have been arrested
2:34
Speaker 2: in the.
2:34
Speaker 7: Uear charges relate to seven victims spanning a period from
2:38
Speaker 7: twenty ten to twenty seventeen. Our officers have worked closely
2:42
Speaker 7: with the CPS and both national and international law enforcement
2:45
Speaker 7: agencies as part of this complex investigation.
2:50
Speaker 1: News and Views you Trust to start your day. It's
2:54
Speaker 1: early edition with Ryan Bridge and Spark for Business Technology
2:58
Speaker 1: that keeps business moving.
3:00
Speaker 2: Confused talks nine after five? Great to have your company,
3:03
Speaker 2: or is everybody excited about the All Blacks? Or is
3:05
Speaker 2: everybody excited? Well, Rugby fans excited about the All Blacks.
3:09
Speaker 2: I know we've got Ryan Fox that will give you
3:11
Speaker 2: updates on this morning. But I did watch the game
3:14
Speaker 2: on Saturday and I have to say, yes, wonderful result,
3:17
Speaker 2: but boring game, wasn't it? Nothing like the game against
3:20
Speaker 2: the French, which is far more exciting and there wasn't
3:22
Speaker 2: as much stopping and starting from a spectator's perspective, however,
3:27
Speaker 2: and why is okay? Two annoying words to do with
3:30
Speaker 2: rugby at the moment. One is optimism. What do you
3:33
Speaker 2: mean we're playing an optimistic style of rugby? And two
3:36
Speaker 2: is physicality. All the physicality on that one, All the
3:39
Speaker 2: physicality on that one. Anyway, Apart from that, it was
3:43
Speaker 2: a great result, wasn't it? And we look forward to
3:45
Speaker 2: similar results against South Africa. Now to the Manila. John
3:49
Speaker 2: Winston Peters is going to Manila today. This is for
3:52
Speaker 2: an US in Foreign Minister's conference, and it's interesting in
3:56
Speaker 2: that the other attendees have a lot to say to
4:00
Speaker 2: each other. Lavrov from Russia's going, Rubio from America is going.
4:05
Speaker 2: Winston obviously from New Zealand. One year the Foreign Minister
4:08
Speaker 2: of China is going. So Trump is going to well
4:12
Speaker 2: meant to be going for on a visit to China
4:14
Speaker 2: in Beijing in September. So no doubt they'll be chatting
4:16
Speaker 2: about that we've had the ICBM fired into the Pacific
4:20
Speaker 2: from the Chinese. No doubt Winston will be talking about
4:23
Speaker 2: that we've got the war in Iran. We've also got
4:26
Speaker 2: of course Ukraine and Russia and Lavrov will be there
4:30
Speaker 2: so bit on the agenda for the Old arc In
4:32
Speaker 2: conference also this morning. How much do you think your
4:36
Speaker 2: employer should pay if you're not paying into your KIWI
4:39
Speaker 2: SAB right now? And granted there is a change of
4:42
Speaker 2: foot the windsor change are coming and it's going to
4:45
Speaker 2: be compulsory if National gets its way. However, if you're
4:49
Speaker 2: currently not enrolled in KISAB and not contributing to it,
4:52
Speaker 2: your employer doesn't pay anything either. Now in some like
4:57
Speaker 2: in America, for example, if you work at Costco, and
5:00
Speaker 2: this is not a law, they just do it. But
5:01
Speaker 2: if you work at Costco, four percent of your salary
5:05
Speaker 2: will go into your four oh one K, which is
5:07
Speaker 2: your super account. Even if you're not paying anything into it,
5:11
Speaker 2: your employers still will. And if you look at I
5:13
Speaker 2: spoke to a couple of employers at the weekend about
5:15
Speaker 2: this particular issue and they said, well, it does you
5:19
Speaker 2: know it sort of wouldn't really make a difference because
5:21
Speaker 2: you could get an employee who was contributing, who was
5:25
Speaker 2: a good worker. You could get an employee who wasn't
5:27
Speaker 2: contributing who was a good worker, so you would have
5:30
Speaker 2: to pay for one and not the other, and they
5:32
Speaker 2: probably wouldn't mind on balance, paying for those even if
5:35
Speaker 2: they weren't paying for themselves. So do we think that's
5:38
Speaker 2: a good idea. By the way, if you work for
5:40
Speaker 2: just having a read this morning, if you work for
5:42
Speaker 2: Visa in America, they put two dollars for every one
5:45
Speaker 2: dollar that you contribute to your four oh one k
5:47
Speaker 2: up to five percent. That's parliament level perks, isn't it
5:51
Speaker 2: at Visa in the US? Twelve after five Ryan Bridge

Speaker 2: business for us in about ten minutes time. By the way,
6:20
Speaker 2: we're keeping an eye on Ryan Fox at the Open
6:22
Speaker 2: Championship at Royal Birkdale. He's in contention for a pretty
6:25
Speaker 2: big victory there for his sixteenth hole. Fox got himself
6:29
Speaker 2: back into the joint lead with a Birdie, so we'll
6:32
Speaker 2: keep you updated. Of course, Andrew'll have more at half
6:34
Speaker 2: past Ryan Bridge fourteen after now, So let's talk football.
6:38
Speaker 2: That'll be another big one today, won't it? New Jersey
6:41
Speaker 2: near New York City. FIFA World Cup Final Argentina Spain.
6:45
Speaker 2: Seven am our timers kickoff and FIFA is giving it
6:49
Speaker 2: the full Super Bowl treatment with its first ever halftime
6:52
Speaker 2: show Madonna, Justin Bieber that'll be performing, Trump presenting the trophy,
6:57
Speaker 2: so it'll be a real fiesta. Alex Thomas, Sky News
7:00
Speaker 2: Fox Sports News presenter is with us this morning and
7:04
Speaker 2: great to have you. How's it going well.
7:07
Speaker 5: I'm glad I actually made it to this interview because
7:09
Speaker 5: I've just stood in the longest queue I've ever experienced
7:13
Speaker 5: at a major sporting event. I've done five other World Cups,
7:15
Speaker 5: Men's and Women's, Summer and Winter Olympic Games, cricket, rugby,
7:20
Speaker 5: World Cups, Ryder Cups. Not trying to boast, just to
7:22
Speaker 5: say by comparison, FIFA really struggling in a huge stadium
7:27
Speaker 5: that's famously inaccessible, even before you hold a World Cup
7:30
Speaker 5: final here at a time when you got US President
7:33
Speaker 5: Donald Trump on his way probably in the next fifteen
7:36
Speaker 5: minutes or so, he's unifly's presidential helicopter Marine one over
7:40
Speaker 5: the stadium, land nearby, get the cavalcade to the stadium,
7:44
Speaker 5: and as all New Yorkers know, when that happens, everything
7:47
Speaker 5: comes to a complete stand. So we almost got caught
7:49
Speaker 5: up in that filming around Manhattan a couple of days ago.
7:52
Speaker 5: I expect him to be here in the next fifteen
7:54
Speaker 5: minutes because that's when the pre game closing ceremony starts.
7:58
Speaker 5: And like you were just mentioning a few moments ago,
8:00
Speaker 5: absolutely star studed. They're really trying to bring some American
8:04
Speaker 5: glitz and glamour to this World Cup. European fans won't
8:07
Speaker 5: like it, but to others who are just coming to
8:09
Speaker 5: this tournament, it's new expanded tournaments. They've probably enjoyed themselves
8:12
Speaker 5: over the last five or so weeks.
8:14
Speaker 2: Alex I was reading this morning, so you've got eighty
8:16
Speaker 2: two thousand ticket holders and apparently the Secret Service was
8:20
Speaker 2: going to search every individual person and their bag.
8:24
Speaker 5: Did that happen when you went in? That's right, so
8:28
Speaker 5: inevitably they like to put the media in. I sounded
8:30
Speaker 5: like a real journalist, moan. Now, I don't mean to
8:32
Speaker 5: do this media entrances least convenient side of stadiums. But
8:37
Speaker 5: it didn't mean I could get a good walk round
8:38
Speaker 5: from the American Dream shopping Center, which is on the
8:41
Speaker 5: Cusp pair, which is absolutely enormous. It's got a snow
8:45
Speaker 5: a ski slope inside it, and a swimming pool and
8:49
Speaker 5: a golf course as well, all indoors coming rounds through
8:52
Speaker 5: all the tens of thousands of fans who had heeded
8:55
Speaker 5: the warnings to get here earlier, All Largentinian supporters. As
8:58
Speaker 5: far as I could see, they're not out bring the
9:00
Speaker 5: Spanish fans to to one. It's more like one hundred
9:03
Speaker 5: to one, absolutely crazy. And I could wind my way
9:06
Speaker 5: all the way around, and you're right. I tried to
9:07
Speaker 5: get in one gate that was suggested by an official,
9:09
Speaker 5: and they said, because I've got a bag, I've got
9:11
Speaker 5: to go to another one because the Secret Service have
9:13
Speaker 5: to inspect every single one inevert you. When I got
9:15
Speaker 5: to the gates, it was quite quite a cursory check.
9:19
Speaker 5: Spain gonna win alex Spain got the better football. They
9:24
Speaker 5: showed that when they out played France, who were until
9:27
Speaker 5: the semifinals the outstanding team. But as Lionel Messi showed
9:30
Speaker 5: against England with both assists for the two goals in
9:32
Speaker 5: the final five minutes of the game. With the goat
9:35
Speaker 5: the greatest of all time on the pitch, anything is possible.
9:38
Speaker 5: I expect this to be much closer than the ten
9:40
Speaker 5: goal thriller France and England played out in the bronze
9:42
Speaker 5: medal final yesterday.
9:43
Speaker 2: Fantastic, looking forward to it. Thanks so much for that.
9:45
Speaker 2: That is correspondent Alex Thomas, Sky News and Fox Sports
9:49
Speaker 2: News present to at the stadium in New Jersey, New
9:52
Speaker 2: York City. It is eighteen minutes after five. By the way,
9:55
Speaker 2: you won't see the Argentinian president. The Javier Malay is
9:58
Speaker 2: not going and no Argentinian president has been to a
10:02
Speaker 2: World Cup match for thirty six years. All dates back
10:06
Speaker 2: to a superstition from the nineties, well nineteen ninety in fact,
10:09
Speaker 2: when Carlos Menhim visited the Argentinian squad just before they
10:15
Speaker 2: lost to Cameroon. It was opener. It was a shocker
10:18
Speaker 2: and it was bad and so bad luck Whodo. He
10:21
Speaker 2: won't be there. Pedro Sanchez, whose family increasingly seems to
10:26
Speaker 2: be embroiled in fraud and corruption cases. He's going to
10:31
Speaker 2: be there. He'll be attending along with the King. It
10:34
Speaker 2: is eighteen minutes after five The Early.

Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on Early Edition with Ryan
10:47
Speaker 1: Bridge and Spark for Business Technology that Keeps Business Moving
10:52
Speaker 1: News Talks AB.
10:53
Speaker 2: Five twenty one News Talks THEREB. We'll get to the
10:55
Speaker 2: UK very shortly. Oil prices on the up. According to Bloomberg,
10:58
Speaker 2: more than a quarter of Middle East oil as now
11:00
Speaker 2: being shipped through from Iraq through Syria. This is to
11:04
Speaker 2: avoid the straight of hor Moos and it's also using
11:07
Speaker 2: thousands of tracks to do it. Vicky Price, our business correspondent, Vicky,
11:10
Speaker 2: what's the latest here?
11:12
Speaker 8: Well, yes, I mean the worry that everyone has had
11:15
Speaker 8: is that the strait of her Moo's closure, which is
11:18
Speaker 8: with us again, I'm afraid I would push oil prices
11:20
Speaker 8: up quite significantly. This has happened up to a point.
11:23
Speaker 8: But quite a lot of producers, as the people from
11:28
Speaker 8: the producer from Iraq, as you just mentioned, are finding
11:31
Speaker 8: that they can actually find different roots, but of course
11:35
Speaker 8: they're more costly and they take longer. And also what
11:38
Speaker 8: we have heard is that Iran is encouraging the hooties
11:43
Speaker 8: who generally have tried in the past to disrupt anything
11:49
Speaker 8: that goes through the Red Sea, which has been a
11:53
Speaker 8: very sort of general way in which goods come through,
11:56
Speaker 8: and we're not just talking here about oil, to disrupt
11:58
Speaker 8: that as well, So it could get worse from that
12:01
Speaker 8: point of view. But the fact that there are now
12:03
Speaker 8: all sorts of different ways that lots of oil producers
12:06
Speaker 8: are trying to find to get the oil out bypassing
12:10
Speaker 8: Iran as far as it possibly can, I think that's
12:13
Speaker 8: good news in a way, but I'm afraid, as I said,
12:15
Speaker 8: partly it's costly doing it that way, but also they
12:18
Speaker 8: talk about having new pipelines or using pipelines instead of
12:22
Speaker 8: using the normal shipping routes, actually also means possibly more
12:28
Speaker 8: costs and a lot more uncertainty as to the quantity
12:31
Speaker 8: that can be shipped that way. So we're in a
12:34
Speaker 8: very uncertain situation unfortunately, and that is bound to be
12:37
Speaker 8: affecting energy prices generally here in the UK. We're already seeing,
12:41
Speaker 8: of course, spetrol pump prices going up quite significantly over
12:45
Speaker 8: the last week and over since the sort of cysfire
12:51
Speaker 8: seems we've come to an end. Over the last week,
12:53
Speaker 8: oil prices have gone up by about fourteen percent, which
12:55
Speaker 8: is actually quite significant.
12:57
Speaker 2: Speaking of significant alside the eurozones, parent account surplus is widening.
13:01
Speaker 2: This is for May.
13:04
Speaker 8: Yes, I think that's quite interesting because of course, you know,
13:07
Speaker 8: we had the whole tariff's war originating the US, and
13:11
Speaker 8: one of the reasons why the tariffs were in post
13:13
Speaker 8: is because the U is actually quite good at exporting
13:16
Speaker 8: goods and it has a big surplus with the US,
13:19
Speaker 8: and that's what President Trump hasn't liked. It also has
13:21
Speaker 8: a big surplus actually with the UK, which is not
13:25
Speaker 8: hugely surprising, of course, given you know Brexit and everything
13:28
Speaker 8: else that's happened here. So what we find is that
13:32
Speaker 8: they are continuing to export despite everything that's happening, despite
13:36
Speaker 8: the issue of tariffs, not as much as they were
13:39
Speaker 8: doing a year ago, but certainly surpluses are still there.
13:42
Speaker 8: The latest indeed, as you're saying, in May, there was
13:45
Speaker 8: a twenty five billion euros surplus, and it is a
13:49
Speaker 8: little bit less than perhaps would have been expected this
13:52
Speaker 8: time of the year, but it does suggest that the
13:54
Speaker 8: U economy is still going, particularly on the manufacturing side.
13:59
Speaker 8: But it also is to you that because they have
14:02
Speaker 8: had quite a hit. The war in Ukraine itself has
14:05
Speaker 8: affected Europe particularly. But also, of course we're seeing now
14:09
Speaker 8: with Iran they're also importing a bit less, so there
14:13
Speaker 8: is a mix of those things. So they're still exporting,
14:16
Speaker 8: but also their economy has weakened and therefore of course
14:19
Speaker 8: they don't input as much now. Of course, President Trump,
14:22
Speaker 8: we look at that again. Since they've just negotiated another
14:26
Speaker 8: deal with the you, I think you will be looking
14:29
Speaker 8: at all that. And none of the deals that we
14:32
Speaker 8: know have been signed can be guaranteed for the future.
14:35
Speaker 8: So yes, it's good news in some ways for the you,
14:38
Speaker 8: but it's something to watch.
14:40
Speaker 2: Vicki Price, our business correspondent, good to have you as always.
14:42
Speaker 2: It is twenty four minutes half of five year on
14:44
Speaker 2: News Talks. We'll go to Gavin Graham in the UK
14:47
Speaker 2: in about twenty minutes time. He's going to give us
14:49
Speaker 2: an update on Burnham, who is first day on the
14:52
Speaker 2: job at number ten. Tomorrow next though, we'll look at
14:55
Speaker 2: Winston paid is the billion dollars for a little look
14:57
Speaker 2: see for oil and gas. It is twenty seven minutes
15:01
Speaker 2: half to five New Zealand first wants to spend a
15:04
Speaker 2: billion bucks looking for oil and gas fields to make
15:06
Speaker 2: our country rich again, well richer bit more like the
15:09
Speaker 2: place that our kids are going to earn a living
15:11
Speaker 2: at the moment, Australia, who've pulled in a whopping four
15:14
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty billion dollars in mining royalties billion over
15:19
Speaker 2: the past decade alone. That's a half a trillion dollars
15:23
Speaker 2: in ten years justin royalties, not including tax. They want
15:27
Speaker 2: to be a bit more like Norway, where per person
15:29
Speaker 2: GDP is one hundred and fifty thousand dollars per person,
15:33
Speaker 2: one of the highest in the world. Ours is eighty
15:35
Speaker 2: five thousand per person. The Norwegians, of course, got a
15:39
Speaker 2: big boost from oil in the sixties and beyond. They've
15:41
Speaker 2: got a two trillion dollar wealth fund which pays for
15:44
Speaker 2: the stuff the Greens and labor here could only dream of.
15:46
Speaker 2: And herein lies one of the two big problems we
15:49
Speaker 2: have in this country. The first one is not that
15:51
Speaker 2: we don't want more children out of poverty, or a
15:54
Speaker 2: generous welfare state or universal pensions. The problem is how
15:58
Speaker 2: you pay for them. Debt is a downward spiral, but
16:01
Speaker 2: it's how we've been operating here since twenty nineteen. That's
16:04
Speaker 2: the last time the books were actually balanced in New Zealand.
16:07
Speaker 2: So there is logic in dragging oil and gas up
16:11
Speaker 2: out of the ocean to pay for stuff, especially as
16:13
Speaker 2: the rest of the world, including the US, is doing
16:15
Speaker 2: this anyway, Which brings us to the second problem with
16:18
Speaker 2: this issue and Winston's plans for it, And that's the opposition.
16:22
Speaker 2: Of course, what's the point in US spending a billion
16:25
Speaker 2: bucks to look for the oil if the next government
16:27
Speaker 2: won't let anybody drill for it. The only way this
16:30
Speaker 2: makes sense is if you get big parties to agree
16:33
Speaker 2: with each other. We actually need this stuff, We need
16:37
Speaker 2: another feather in our bow economically speaking. Right now, Andy
16:40
Speaker 2: Burnham apparently is having this very debate with his top advisors,
16:44
Speaker 2: including Mike Munroe, who worked for Disinda Adern. The British
16:47
Speaker 2: press there reporting that Burnham is about to announce plans
16:50
Speaker 2: for new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea.
16:53
Speaker 2: Remember labor, they're bandit. Burnham's a union guy, a worker guy,
16:58
Speaker 2: a more common sense guy, so they say, and therefore
17:01
Speaker 2: is about to turn the black tap back on Chris
17:04
Speaker 2: Hopkins in New Zealand is not that guy for the
17:08
Speaker 2: New Zealand Labor Party and until the opposition puts down
17:12
Speaker 2: its giant no sign then spending a billion bucks looking
17:15
Speaker 2: for oil is pretty much throwing money down the dunny
17:19
Speaker 2: at this point twenty nine after five, we'll head to
17:22

18:54
Speaker 2: to labor who are complaining about national. What's new with that?
18:57
Speaker 2: Complaining about national but it's over consent laws. It's a
19:00
Speaker 2: little bit icky, isn't it to be having a public
19:02
Speaker 2: spat about something like that and it's one side having
19:06
Speaker 2: a go at the other. So we'll talk to labor

20:14
Speaker 11: famous chalet on State Higway seventy three as you pass
20:17
Speaker 11: through Arthur's Past. It has been sitting empty for more
20:19
Speaker 11: than a decade now, and that was until last year
20:22
Speaker 11: when the Rockpool Group bought it for two hundred and
20:24
Speaker 11: fifty thousand dollars. It's a christ Church group that has
20:28

20:30
Speaker 11: new cafe, a bar, and even a library, while also
20:33
Speaker 11: preserving the original Swiss character. They tell us that restoration
20:37
Speaker 11: is now almost complete. Spokesperson Annabel Fisher says it's been
20:41
Speaker 11: a huge project, but it is a special thing to
20:43
Speaker 11: bring something like this back to life. It'll be a
20:45
Speaker 11: place of point of visiting for tourists as well as
20:48
Speaker 11: families and people just stopping through.

Speaker 12: its Argentina. They take on Spain this morning and football
21:20
Speaker 12: fever is taking over Wellington as well. Hordes of people

Speaker 12: starting to flock into bars around Wellington. It's time for
21:27
Speaker 12: Argentines to shine. Today's stats and z shows while there's

22:23
Speaker 13: Yeah, We've got a global marine experts are all gathering

Speaker 13: the world's coral reefs are found in the Pacific. University
22:43
Speaker 13: of Auckland's Dan Hikoro says it makes Auckland the ideal
22:47
Speaker 13: of the host city for them to offer an important perspective.
22:49
Speaker 13: He says, the locals have in depth and detailed knowledge
22:52
Speaker 13: and it is extremely.
22:53
Speaker 2: Valuable, fantastic. How's our weather?
22:56
Speaker 13: Well, not looking so good today. Isolated showers developing in
22:58
Speaker 13: the morning, becoming widespread the afternoon. So I'm heavy. We've
23:01
Speaker 13: got light when southeast Lea is from the afternoon and
23:03
Speaker 13: heading for high fourteen degrees.
23:06
Speaker 2: Nice one. Good to have you here. Wendy is always
23:08
Speaker 2: It is nineteen minutes away from six by the way.
23:10
Speaker 2: Ryan Fox years ago he spoke about back in twenty thirteen,
23:14
Speaker 2: he was on he was in Australia. It was doing
23:17
Speaker 2: the Australian PGA tour and he was thinking about quitting.
23:21
Speaker 2: He was not performing particularly well and he was sort
23:24
Speaker 2: of coming to the end of himself and thinking do
23:25
Speaker 2: I just throw in the towel here? I mean, thank
23:27
Speaker 2: goodness that he didn't. But his dad, Grant, who we
23:31
Speaker 2: all know, was his caddy at the time, and apparently
23:35
Speaker 2: he said to his dad, I'm over this. I'm going
23:39
Speaker 2: to throw in the towel and dad said, what are
23:40
Speaker 2: you doing this for? And it was a simple question,
23:43
Speaker 2: but it was a question that completely turned his game
23:46
Speaker 2: around and kept him playing golf. And here he is today,
23:50
Speaker 2: the fourth key we to win a golf major. Pretty cool.
23:53
Speaker 2: Eighteen to six News Talk said, b it is called
23:56
Speaker 2: a sixth Great to have your company this morning and
23:58
Speaker 2: great to be celebrating Ryan Fox. Fourth keep to win
24:00
Speaker 2: a golf major. This is at Royal Birkdale. Ryan brilliant Fox.
24:03
Speaker 2: Finish to win the Open. That is the sport result
24:06
Speaker 2: of the weekend, if not the year, says Phil. What
24:08
Speaker 2: a champ you beauty, Ryan Fox. He's the man goosebumps here.
24:12
Speaker 2: Thanks Simon. Nice to have all your messages flooding and
24:14
Speaker 2: supporting him this morning. And my question was what are
24:17
Speaker 2: the news outlets do tonight sports wise, because you've got
24:21
Speaker 2: the football final on this morning, but then you've got
24:24
Speaker 2: Ryan Fox. You know, in the old days they would
24:27
Speaker 2: have just led with the All Blacks, but I think
24:30
Speaker 2: they'll have to go with Ryan Fox. It's been interesting
24:32
Speaker 2: watching TV one because TV one has the rights to
24:34
Speaker 2: the football, so It's like in the past two weeks
24:36
Speaker 2: the all Blacks haven't existed. If you watch the I
24:39
Speaker 2: mean they do cover it button, you know, they've obviously
24:42
Speaker 2: got to put their best foot forward, which when you
24:44
Speaker 2: pay that much for the rights, is the football anyway?
24:47
Speaker 2: It'll have to be a Ryan Fox show tonight, won't it.
24:49
Speaker 2: Surely it is quarter to.
24:50
Speaker 1: Six International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of
24:55
Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business.
24:57
Speaker 2: Kevin Gray are UK. You're a correspondent. Andy burnhams staying
25:00
Speaker 2: the job tomorrow? Gavin? Is it true? Is Andy going
25:03
Speaker 2: to turn the teps back on the North Sea?
25:06
Speaker 14: It's looking that way, Ryan, Yeah, quite a shock this.
25:09
Speaker 14: He promised to stick to the Labor Manifesto. The party
25:12
Speaker 14: manifesto said at the last general election under which Sakirir
25:15
Speaker 14: Starmer got elected, that there would be no new oil
25:18
Speaker 14: and gas drilling, there would be no new licenses. It's
25:21
Speaker 14: now been revealed that Andy Burnham, who is due to
25:24
Speaker 14: take over as Prime Minister tomorrow, is due to reverse that.
25:27
Speaker 14: He's going to meet King Charles the IID and then
25:30
Speaker 14: start with an announcement about what he intends to do
25:33
Speaker 14: as our new Prime minister, So that's going to be
25:36
Speaker 14: quite interesting watering down proposals as well to well actually
25:41
Speaker 14: nullify talks about mandatory digital ID for workers in the UK.
25:45
Speaker 14: That was something Sekir Starmer had pledged to get underway.
25:48
Speaker 14: Looks like Andy Burnham's dropping that the nationalization of utility
25:53
Speaker 14: companies is set to continue as well. But we really
25:57
Speaker 14: don't know how he's going to plug this black hole.
25:59
Speaker 14: And the black whole is either going to mean that
26:02
Speaker 14: we're going to have to pay more tax and or
26:04
Speaker 14: reduce our spending, and that he's not talked about yet,
26:08
Speaker 14: So that's going to be very interesting. We're going to
26:10
Speaker 14: get all the news tomorrow in this outline.
26:12
Speaker 2: Of a speech.
26:12
Speaker 14: And finally I think we're going to hear his pick
26:15
Speaker 14: for the cabinet, and that's going to be really, really
26:18
Speaker 14: interesting because the job of Chancellor, the money person, is
26:22
Speaker 14: up for grabs and the money markets are waiting anxiously
26:25
Speaker 14: to see his pick. Is it going to be somebody
26:27
Speaker 14: on the left or is it going to be somebody
26:28
Speaker 14: who might be more prudent with the purse strings.
26:31
Speaker 2: Well, that's got to be job number one, doesn't it
26:33
Speaker 2: That you've got to plug the hole? That you're talking about.
26:34
Speaker 2: Is there any suggestion he thinks that the black gold
26:37
Speaker 2: is going to plug the black hole or is this
26:39
Speaker 2: more of a long team shift.
26:41
Speaker 14: Yeah, I think that's part of his proposal. Actually, I
26:44
Speaker 14: could see that as being and we are going to
26:46
Speaker 14: generate x billion through that and therefore we've got this
26:49
Speaker 14: extra money. But it's I don't know. This is going
26:52
Speaker 14: to be an interesting balancing act that he's got to
26:54
Speaker 14: carry out. There are plenty in this party who voted
26:56
Speaker 14: against titling the purse strings, for tightling the states and
27:00
Speaker 14: benefits when there was a government majority of one two hundred.
27:04
Speaker 14: So what is this going to mean now for Andy
27:06
Speaker 14: Burnham when he takes over, And that's going to be
27:08
Speaker 14: the key question. I think it's probably going to get
27:11
Speaker 14: a combination of trying to reduce public spending, increase taxes.
27:15
Speaker 14: But again, who do you cut the benefits out for?
27:18
Speaker 14: Who do you increase the taxes for? So some big choices.
27:21
Speaker 2: All right, thanks for that update. That's Kevin Gray are
27:23
Speaker 2: UK Europe correspondence twelve minutes away from six on oil.
27:27
Speaker 2: For a second, this is out of Iran, so you
27:29
Speaker 2: know there was the gap in the straight of Horn
27:31
Speaker 2: moves closure where they had a ceasefire or an MoU
27:35
Speaker 2: that was signed, and so the ships, the Iranian ships
27:38
Speaker 2: were able to get through well. In that about one
27:41
Speaker 2: month window, the Iranians managed to get twenty tankers with
27:45
Speaker 2: seventy million barrels of oil heading for Asia during that
27:50
Speaker 2: time that the blockade was lifted in mid June one
27:53
Speaker 2: month window. That equals five to six billion US dollars,
27:58
Speaker 2: which and by the way, they suck them on some
28:00
Speaker 2: ships head to Malaysia and then they pump them through
28:03
Speaker 2: to some Chinese teapot refineries which are like privately owned ones.
28:07
Speaker 2: They pay a cheap price for everyone's happy. The upshot
28:10
Speaker 2: billions of dollars in oil revenue is coming the way
28:14
Speaker 2: of Iran and Tehran in the coming months. Ran Bridge
28:18
Speaker 2: National's plan changed to sex consent laws getting very political
28:22
Speaker 2: this morning. If reelected, they've said they would change the law.
28:25
Speaker 2: It must be an active yes beforehand, not just the
28:28
Speaker 2: absence of a no.
28:30
Speaker 15: There are tens of thousands of people every year according
28:33
Speaker 15: to the surveys, who are victim of sexual violence in
28:36
Speaker 15: some way or form, and so this change is not
28:39
Speaker 15: going to dramatically change that overnight. But it is sending
28:43
Speaker 15: a clear signal.
28:44
Speaker 2: Right joining us as Karmela Bali's Labor Justice spokesperson, come
28:46
Speaker 2: a good morning.
28:48
Speaker 16: Good morning.
28:49
Speaker 17: What's the problem here, Well, Crustaul, that is a policy
28:53
Speaker 17: that the Labor Party agrees with and it's something that
28:56
Speaker 17: we've been working on on a bipartisan basis to try
28:59
Speaker 17: and get introduced to the House before this election.
29:02
Speaker 2: Great, so what's the problem. They don't want to do
29:05
Speaker 2: it before the election?
29:06
Speaker 16: Yeah, they yeah, they don't want to. So that's that's
29:09
Speaker 16: a real shame actually, and were really disappointed about that,
29:11
Speaker 16: because you know, not everything can be in our political
29:14
Speaker 16: system can be brought forward in a bipartisan manner. But
29:17
Speaker 16: this had been something that one of our committees of
29:20
Speaker 16: Parliament had been working on. We'd had some work on
29:25
Speaker 16: drafting a bill together, and we'd had a briefing from
29:28
Speaker 16: the Hell and Clark Foundation or some research that they've
29:30
Speaker 16: done onto this, and we've decided to move forward. And
29:32
Speaker 16: then unfortunately, at our last meeting, the National Party said
29:35
Speaker 16: that they were walking away from it and they were
29:38
Speaker 16: going to do what they've done today, which is release
29:41
Speaker 16: their own policy and campaign on it for the election,
29:43
Speaker 16: rather than introducing it. To Parliament and making the change the.
29:46
Speaker 2: Justice he receives the Justice Select committees under the pump
29:49
Speaker 2: at the moment, I mean, there is the realistically room
29:51
Speaker 2: that started the election to do what it is you're
29:53
Speaker 2: saying they should do.
29:55
Speaker 16: Well, Look, I'm sit on the Justice Committee, so I'm
29:57
Speaker 16: well aware of the amount of work that we have.
30:00
Speaker 16: But the issue that the choice that the National Party
30:03
Speaker 16: is making is they could make a choice to join
30:05
Speaker 16: with other parties and get this issue on the order
30:09
Speaker 16: paper and that means that it gets on the order
30:11
Speaker 16: paper on the next member's day, it can have its
30:14
Speaker 16: first reading and then it will be there until the
30:17
Speaker 16: until after the election, no matter who is reported to
30:21
Speaker 16: more of it. It means it happens. It means it
30:24
Speaker 16: means that. No, it means it happens. The National Party
30:26
Speaker 16: at the moment is saying this, this will only happen
30:28
Speaker 16: if you vote for us, and you know, obviously everything
30:34
Speaker 16: gets negotiated, so this is the way of guaranteeing.
30:37
Speaker 2: It it will happen if we vote for you, though too,
30:39
Speaker 2: wouldn't that I mean, well, yeah.
30:41
Speaker 16: What if it's something that there's a lot of agreement on,
30:44
Speaker 16: But you know, I don't know about you, But for me,
30:46
Speaker 16: I always think a bird in the hand are when
30:49
Speaker 16: something you can guarantee will happen is actually when priorities
30:53
Speaker 16: come up is much better and much more suited than
30:56
Speaker 16: looking at you know what may happen after the election.
31:00
Speaker 2: What hope is therefore bipartisanship in this country. If when
31:03
Speaker 2: you do agree on something, you can't agree to.
31:05
Speaker 16: Do it, you know, well, I think it's a real
31:08
Speaker 16: lost opportunity. I think it's a shame. And you know
31:10
Speaker 16: it's not too late. So the National Party can come
31:12
Speaker 16: back and they can support us still and we can
31:14
Speaker 16: make it happen.
31:15
Speaker 2: All right, Hey, good to have you on the show
31:16
Speaker 2: this morning, coming about labor Justice spokesperson. Time is eight
31:20
Speaker 2: to six News Talk SEDB before the news breaks.

31:34
Speaker 2: This is quarter two inflation numbers, and the economists are
31:37
Speaker 2: all coming out saying they reckon we'll either hit four
31:39
Speaker 2: percent or we will crack and go over four percent.
31:43
Speaker 2: This will be the highest inflation in two years. But
31:45
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously we've had oil RB and Z was
31:48
Speaker 2: picking three point nine for the June cort. Remember March
31:52
Speaker 2: was three point one. That's Tuesday. Ryan Bridge, Shit, morning, Mike,

Speaker 9: both the All Blacks and the Warriors. So the Renny
32:05
Speaker 9: question has been answered. It's betemphatically in three games. But
32:08
Speaker 9: a negativity in the newsroom around the Warriors. I don't
32:11
Speaker 9: know why people get negative about it.
32:12
Speaker 2: It was a win.
32:12
Speaker 9: We were never going to lose. I mean, was it
32:14
Speaker 9: our greatest game ever? Probably not. But did we win?
32:16
Speaker 2: Yes, we did, and that's the most important thing. What
32:18
Speaker 2: was the more interesting game? Because the rugby game, what
32:21
Speaker 2: union game, was a bit boring compared to the French one.
32:24
Speaker 9: The I like, no, I love the Warriors. I watched
32:27
Speaker 9: more of the Warriors and I did the All Blacks
32:28
Speaker 9: to be perfectly frank, but Ryan Fox this morning, you
32:32
Speaker 9: cannot understate how big a story this is. You know,
32:36
Speaker 9: the very revery rarely does New Zealand to win a
32:38
Speaker 9: major and it's better than a gold medal at the
32:40
Speaker 9: Olympic Games. It's better than a gold medal at the
32:43
Speaker 9: Commonwealth Games. It's probably as good as a world championship.
32:47
Speaker 9: And given that, you know, if you go back to Campbell,
32:49
Speaker 9: you remember Campbell twenty years ago, and of course no
32:52
Speaker 9: one remembers Bob Charles sixty years ago.
32:54
Speaker 2: And Lvia Coe.
32:56
Speaker 9: You're got to go out, but you know, but it's
32:58
Speaker 9: it's what he's done, the number and what not. Only
33:01
Speaker 9: what he did was unbelievable. The way he won it
33:03
Speaker 9: was fantastic because he was tied going in and he
33:07
Speaker 9: played the last hole. He hadn't birdied the last hole
33:10
Speaker 9: the other three rounds right, so he'd gone par par
33:12
Speaker 9: and bogie and so to get on to put and
33:17
Speaker 9: to win it with the putt and then not have
33:20
Speaker 9: to wait or not to go up to the final
33:22
Speaker 9: hole with a three shot lead or any of that.
33:24
Speaker 9: In other words, it was like you're gonna win or
33:27
Speaker 9: you're going to a playoff.
33:28
Speaker 2: Actually, we've got audio of the moment it happened. Do
33:30
Speaker 2: you want to hear that? Because it was pretty special.
33:32
Speaker 9: Taking nor time at all, it's what you dream off.
33:34
Speaker 2: A punt to win the Open.
33:38
Speaker 3: He has it.
33:41
Speaker 6: Ryan Fox Chumpion.
33:43
Speaker 2: A royal booked and I was reading this morning about
33:46
Speaker 2: his dad, Grant, who everybody obviously knows, talking him out
33:49
Speaker 2: of quitting back in twenty thirteen. He was very much and.
33:53
