Speaker 1: The issues, the interviews and the insight. Ryan Bridge on
0:05
Speaker 1: earlier ship with r the Supercenter, explore r V successories
0:09
Speaker 1: and servicing more than one news talks.
0:12
Speaker 2: That'd be good morning, Happy Friday, the government's latest push
0:14
Speaker 2: to get more gas. This morning, Vincent mcavinie in the
0:17
Speaker 2: UK for US, Tony Johnson on the Barretts and Scotland
0:20
Speaker 2: this weekend, and we'll head to the US as well.
0:22
Speaker 2: This tariff court case is looking rather interesting and quite
0:25
Speaker 2: important for US down under the agenda. It is Friday,
0:31
Speaker 2: the seventh of November. This big typhoon, Kilmelgi they call
0:34
Speaker 2: it hitting Vietnam right now. It's apparently Asia's most powerful
0:37
Speaker 2: tropical storm this year, left one hundred and fourteen dead
0:40
Speaker 2: in the Philippines.
0:41
Speaker 3: It really reminded me of scene some what we've seen
0:43
Speaker 3: tsunamis in the past. I mean enormously powerful surges of
0:46
Speaker 3: water going filling up the streets, lifting up cars in
0:50
Speaker 3: their wake, even shipping containers and destroying smaller homes. Nound
0:55
Speaker 3: of the Philippines towns have these rather sort of flimsy
0:58
Speaker 3: shanty towns, and the poor and a helpe neighborho some
1:00
Speaker 3: of those neighborhoods have been completely wiped out.
1:02
Speaker 2: And it's that time again where everybody who cares about
1:06
Speaker 2: the climate change issue jumps on a plane, burns a
1:09
Speaker 2: bunch of avgas across the globe and heads to Brazil.
1:13
Speaker 2: For Brazil this year for Cop thirty. Kirs Starmer is there.
1:16
Speaker 2: He's talking today, so's Prince William.
1:19
Speaker 4: The leaders of China in there, and the US, together
1:22
Speaker 4: responsible for roughly half of world emissions, will not be present.
1:28
Speaker 4: The US is withdrawing from the Paris Agreement entirely, and
1:31
Speaker 4: the UN has conceded that the latest round of carbon
1:35
Speaker 4: cutting commitments made by the countries of the world full stort.
1:40
Speaker 2: Now let's go to Paris. You know the big jewelry
1:42
Speaker 2: heist at the Louver. Guess what the password was. This
1:45
Speaker 2: is a French newspaper reporting what the security password was
1:49
Speaker 2: during the big heist. Wait for it, Lou that he.
1:53
Speaker 3: Is pretty much the same as just having it as
1:55
Speaker 3: password or.
1:56
Speaker 2: One, two, three four. The audit also revealing the museum
2:00
Speaker 2: we're still using security software from two thousand and three.
2:02
Speaker 4: That he's a very old version of Windows.
2:05
Speaker 2: The only hard thing about that is figure out how
2:07
Speaker 2: to spell it. I suppose though someone who's with French
2:11
Speaker 2: would presumably know it is eight minutes after five.
2:15
Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day Early
2:17
Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge shed r V Supercenter explore r
2:21
Speaker 1: v's accessories and servicing all in.
2:24
Speaker 2: One news talks. Be great to have your company this morning.
2:26
Speaker 2: Flip me your text nine two nine two love hearing
2:29
Speaker 2: from you? Well mostly better election day next year? What
2:35
Speaker 2: date do you reckon it's going to happen now? I
2:39
Speaker 2: am picking Saturday, seventh of November simply because the House
2:44
Speaker 2: sitting program, the way it works, your odds are probably
2:47
Speaker 2: on and Luxon wants to go late because the economy
2:50
Speaker 2: is still shugared. We've seen the you know, you saw
2:53
Speaker 2: the unplumed ployment number this week. Not great is that?
2:55
Speaker 2: So you need to turn the ship around. And he's
2:57
Speaker 2: going to spend some time over sight thinking about this.
3:01
Speaker 2: His polling has been sliding since the last election. We
3:04
Speaker 2: know this. The Left block, despite all the scandal, the
3:06
Speaker 2: drama and the lack of policy, is pulling ahead, albeit
3:10
Speaker 2: by a whisker. I think this election campaign is going
3:13
Speaker 2: to be different for a couple of reasons. One, there's
3:16
Speaker 2: essentially a capital gains tax on the ballot, and this
3:19
Speaker 2: has happened before. Of course, Golf tried it in twenty eleven.
3:22
Speaker 2: Others have tried it. I was there when GoF tried
3:24
Speaker 2: it did not end well, But this one seems different.
3:28
Speaker 2: There isn't the same level of outrage brewing, not that
3:31
Speaker 2: I have seen anyway this time around, which maybe because
3:33
Speaker 2: it's a lot narrower in focus. You tell me number two,
3:37
Speaker 2: it's all going to be about Australia. We will talk
3:40
Speaker 2: as much about Australia as we do New Zealand. There
3:44
Speaker 2: are at least six hundred and twenty thousand people born
3:47
Speaker 2: in New Zealand who now live in Australia. That's half
3:50
Speaker 2: the population of the South Island. We lost a net
3:54
Speaker 2: thirty thousand people in the last year. So I think
3:58
Speaker 2: you can expect to see the opposition MP's doing press
4:02
Speaker 2: conferences from Eden Park to illustrate the trans Tasman human deficit.
4:06
Speaker 2: But also I think we could see our first campaign
4:09
Speaker 2: event for a major party held in another country. Usually
4:14
Speaker 2: politicians shelve their overseas travel plans months out from an election,
4:18
Speaker 2: but the sheer number of key we vote is now
4:20
Speaker 2: living on the GC could open this up as a
4:22
Speaker 2: genuine battleground. I can see Chippy running an event over there,
4:26
Speaker 2: jumping on a plane, bit of a stunt, bit of
4:27
Speaker 2: a photo op. Look, everyone's leaving because of Luckso the
4:31
Speaker 2: question then becomes, who would they vote for. Do they
4:34
Speaker 2: blame Hipkins for taking this country's economic engine and driving
4:38
Speaker 2: it straight into a brick wall like thud or Luxen
4:42
Speaker 2: for failing to fix it up, you know, get it
4:44
Speaker 2: to a panel, bey to a quick smart Either way,
4:47
Speaker 2: this time next year, I think we'll be talking as
4:50
Speaker 2: much about the country on the other side of the
4:52
Speaker 2: ditch as we do this one. Ryan Breds b we'd
4:56
Speaker 2: love your thoughts on that nine two nine two the
4:58
Speaker 2: numbers text I've just gone e live minutes after five
5:02
Speaker 2: the love. There's more juice to be squeezed from the
5:06
Speaker 2: Louver story yet, I'll tell you more about that.
5:08
Speaker 1: Next on your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition
5:14
Speaker 1: with Ryan Bridge and Are the Supercenter explore are these
5:18
Speaker 1: accessories and servicing Paul than one News Talk Sa'd be.
5:21
Speaker 2: By PO thirteen. Good morning Ryan. As usual, there's no
5:25
Speaker 2: follow up in the news on the Far North businesses
5:27
Speaker 2: and families that have again had no power for many hours.
5:30
Speaker 2: This is twenty three thousand people, says Brian. Brian, good morning,
5:33
Speaker 2: nice to hear from you. We are looking into that
5:35
Speaker 2: for you. I saw that yesterday. She last night had
5:38
Speaker 2: sent it to the producers from our Herald show and said, hey,
5:41
Speaker 2: we should just check on this because it's the second
5:43
Speaker 2: time now you've had power out in this area in
5:46
Speaker 2: a week and they don't really know apparently at this
5:49
Speaker 2: point what the causes. So that's a bit of a worry.
5:51
Speaker 2: We'll look into it for you, Brian, Ryan. If they
5:54
Speaker 2: live in Australia, they should be allowed to vote. They
5:58
Speaker 2: shouldn't be allowed to vote here. See, this is the problem.
6:01
Speaker 2: You can I think the rule is you have to
6:03
Speaker 2: have been in New Zealand in the last three years,
6:06
Speaker 2: and then even though you're living abroad, even though you're
6:09
Speaker 2: living in Australia or Britain or whatever, you can vote
6:11
Speaker 2: here very quickly. On the louver. You know, I mentioned
6:14
Speaker 2: the security The pin code was Louve. Well. They've done
6:18
Speaker 2: an auditors report on the finances as well. They've basically
6:21
Speaker 2: been scrimping on maintenance. They've spent one hundred million euros
6:26
Speaker 2: on art. This is between twenty eighteen and twenty twenty
6:28
Speaker 2: four one hundred million on art acquisitions, twenty six million
6:32
Speaker 2: on maintenance and security. They had an eighty three million
6:36
Speaker 2: dollar security upgrade plan. Guess how much of that they
6:39
Speaker 2: spent three million? So you can see why someone got in.
6:44
Speaker 2: Apparently there are two exhibition rooms. One of them only
6:47
Speaker 2: had sixty percent CCTV coverage. One of the rooms seventy
6:52
Speaker 2: five percent of the artworks lacked security. So is it
6:57
Speaker 2: any surprise someone scaled a ladder and stole the Crown Jewels?
7:02
Speaker 2: Ryan Bridge, it's gone five point fifteen. You're on news Talk,
7:04
Speaker 2: said be The All Blacks continue their Grand Slam Tour
7:07
Speaker 2: this weekend. They're up against Scotland at Murrayfield, kicking off
7:09
Speaker 2: four ten Sunday, our time. They haven't lost to the
7:13
Speaker 2: Scots in one hundred and seventeen years. Doesn't mean this
7:15
Speaker 2: won't be the first time. Tony Johnson's rugby commentator with
7:18
Speaker 2: us this morning, Tony, good morning. Oh right, Jeffy, how
7:22
Speaker 2: important is the Murrayfield anniversary?
7:25
Speaker 5: Oh right, Sorry god, I've got the wrong place, Ryan, Sorry.
7:27
Speaker 2: Mate, Okay, no worries.
7:30
Speaker 5: I've been doing so many different interviews since I've been
7:33
Speaker 5: over here and I'm still got gentleg made a my thousands.
7:35
Speaker 2: Apologies, Tony, it's no problem. You can call me whatever
7:38
Speaker 2: you like.
7:40
Speaker 5: I know I'm going to definitely call you right. You
7:42
Speaker 5: can call me anything you like now after I've done that.
7:45
Speaker 5: What a great way to start today.
7:47
Speaker 2: How you're up at all hours? How important is the
7:50
Speaker 2: Murrayfield anniversary to the Scots?
7:53
Speaker 5: Well, it's very important. I'm making a big thing of it,
7:57
Speaker 5: and there's a real buzz around Edinburgh. I've been here
8:00
Speaker 5: just a couple of days, but boy, there's some excitement.
8:04
Speaker 5: Although having said that, it's a bit tempered now. The
8:06
Speaker 5: Scotland team has been named today and they're missing a
8:10
Speaker 5: couple of really good players. Douhann Pandermerva there, big South
8:15
Speaker 5: African born left winger, is not there and one of
8:17
Speaker 5: the front rowers, Xander Vegason, is out as well. So
8:22
Speaker 5: everyone was thinking this is going to be a real
8:24
Speaker 5: threat to scott and I still think they will be,
8:27
Speaker 5: but not quite as much as was initially anticipated because
8:31
Speaker 5: of those defections.
8:33
Speaker 2: What's happening with the Barretts is Scott's going to be
8:36
Speaker 2: back on the field. What's going on?
8:39
Speaker 5: Well, okay, so Jordie has gone back to New Zealand.
8:43
Speaker 5: He had a knee and a high ankle strain, so
8:46
Speaker 5: that that happened very early on in the game in Chicago,
8:49
Speaker 5: so unfortunately for him, he's gone back to his end.
8:51
Speaker 5: Scott got a very deep laceration in his lower leg,
8:54
Speaker 5: but that's healing really well and so they think he'll
8:57
Speaker 5: be back for the test at Quicken Him next week
9:00
Speaker 5: and they'll need him for that too. And meanwhile, Body,
9:03
Speaker 5: who had a pretty tough time of it, took a
9:06
Speaker 5: couple of big knocks in the game in Chicago, but
9:09
Speaker 5: he's bounced back really well from that. In fact, he shopped,
9:11
Speaker 5: he was telling us on the day off yesterday, shot
9:13
Speaker 5: one of his best ever round of golf at one
9:16
Speaker 5: of the flash courses here. So he's obviously and good Nick.
9:20
Speaker 5: So yeah, at the moment, it's a very rare thing
9:22
Speaker 5: that there's only one Barrack going to be in the
9:24
Speaker 5: your back team this weekend.
9:25
Speaker 2: Very weird indeed, but we look forward to seeing the game. Tony,
9:28
Speaker 2: appreciate your time this morning. That's Tony Johnson rugby commentator.
9:32
Speaker 2: Time is seventeen minutes half to five shot them. Updated
9:36
Speaker 2: data used to outdated numbers. This is World Line Payments network,
9:39
Speaker 2: so it tells you about who's swiping what on the cards.
9:42
Speaker 2: Retail's still not going nuts in the shops, are we,
9:45
Speaker 2: which is a worry for them, especially heading into Christmas.
9:48
Speaker 2: People do like to get in early. Not myself, but
9:51
Speaker 2: you know my mom does. Are they shopping like they
9:54
Speaker 2: normally would or are we at least spending more than
9:57
Speaker 2: we were last year? Well spending was up point three
10:00
Speaker 2: for October from the same month a year ago, but
10:03
Speaker 2: that's far lower than you can be accounted for by inflation.
10:06
Speaker 2: Only Nelson and Otago have spending rising more than inflation. Auckland,
10:14
Speaker 2: you're down zero point one percent, Wellington down three point
10:17
Speaker 2: seven percent, christ Church up just zero point six percent.
10:20
Speaker 2: So are we going to go hard with our shopping
10:23
Speaker 2: in the next few months or are we going to
10:24
Speaker 2: be penny pinching this Christmas? Saving a bit nothing? Frivolous
10:28
Speaker 2: numbers aren't looking that great at this point. Eighteen after
10:31

10:42
Speaker 2: Fall in one News Talks at b five twenty on
10:45
Speaker 2: News Talks, said b it's interesting what's happening in the
10:47
Speaker 2: Supreme Court because it actually is relevant to us. Most
10:50
Speaker 2: of the news we bring you from America actually has
10:52
Speaker 2: no bearing on our daily lives. However, this story is different.
10:56
Speaker 2: And a lot of the conservative justices that Trump so
10:59
Speaker 2: Trump's gone and girls that he put on the Supreme
11:02
Speaker 2: Court are now openly in the court questioning the rationale
11:08
Speaker 2: for the tariffs that he's imposed on everyone, not that
11:11
Speaker 2: some of them aren't going to be considered valid, and
11:15
Speaker 2: you know, he's using the powers that he's got, or
11:17
Speaker 2: correctly all that sort of stuff. It's more to do
11:20
Speaker 2: with why has every country basically been whacked with tariffs?
11:24
Speaker 2: How can you justify that because there's a limited scopes
11:26
Speaker 2: essentially a taxation, and there's a limited scope for the
11:30
Speaker 2: president to come in and unilaterally just you know, tax everyone,
11:34
Speaker 2: which is basically what he's done. So anyway, we'll watch
11:37
Speaker 2: that with interest. Some of those conservative ones seem to
11:39
Speaker 2: be turning against him. Back to cop in Brazil, here's
11:44
Speaker 2: old Prince William just a couple of minutes ago.
11:48
Speaker 6: We must ask ourselves, what legacy do we wish to
11:51
Speaker 6: leave because the impact of all our choices will be
11:55
Speaker 6: felt by us all around the world, in the city
11:59
Speaker 6: of the homes, the stability of the lobby heads, and
12:02
Speaker 6: the health of the natural world.
12:04
Speaker 2: This sus sees this all now, as we spoke about earlier,
12:07
Speaker 2: all of the big emissions aren't there, aren't even in
12:09
Speaker 2: the room, So what is the point in even being there?
12:11
Speaker 2: How much did we spend getting there? We're taking a
12:14
Speaker 2: couple of special delegations because I don't know we're special.
12:20
Speaker 2: Fifty thousand delegates are going to this location from all
12:24
Speaker 2: over the world. And the hotels were so expensive. You
12:27
Speaker 2: might remember we had that chat about that the hotels
12:29
Speaker 2: were so expensive. So what they've done for poorer countries
12:32
Speaker 2: who can't afford the hotels, which they've hiked the fees
12:35
Speaker 2: because it's obviously make hay while the sun shines. These
12:39
Speaker 2: guys are going to be put on barges and boats
12:42
Speaker 2: because they can't afford the hotel rooms. Ryan Unfortunately for
12:47
Speaker 2: National they ended up fixing Labour's mess. How can you
12:50
Speaker 2: fix it in two years? It's always the same vicious circle.
12:53
Speaker 2: Then labor gets in and empties the coffers again. Says,
12:55
Speaker 2: and Judy says, good morning, Judy. I believe if you've
12:58
Speaker 2: lived permanently in Australia for his certain periods, say two
13:01
Speaker 2: or three years, you shouldn't have the right to vote anymore.
13:04
Speaker 2: Treating Monk the Prisoners twenty three After five News Talks VB.
13:08
Speaker 2: Coming up after five thirty, we'll head to Vincent Macavinie
13:10
Speaker 2: in the UK. We'll get a little update on what's
13:12
Speaker 2: going on at cop and we will also talk before
13:15
Speaker 2: top of the hour. Clearly something is not quite working
13:20
Speaker 2: with the government's oil and gas exploration situation because they
13:25
Speaker 2: are now having to expand the criteria for this fund
13:28
Speaker 2: to co invest with gas explorers. They're expanding that, which
13:33
Speaker 2: means maybe there aren't enough people who are actually interested
13:36
Speaker 2: in what they're putting on the table right now. Twenty
13:39
Speaker 2: three After News Talks VB, the early.
13:41
Speaker 1: Edition Full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by NEWSTALKSB.
13:48
Speaker 2: Five twenty five. So we've got a fifth round of
13:50
Speaker 2: talks with India on a free trade deal. We've got
13:52
Speaker 2: a senior government minister in town. He's brought forty two
13:55
Speaker 2: of his mates over. This is a good sign of
13:58
Speaker 2: good progress. But dairy farmers. If you're hoping for a
14:02
Speaker 2: pot of gold at the end of this rainbow, I
14:04
Speaker 2: don't think it's going to happen. Unfortunately for Clay and
14:07
Speaker 2: Luxon promised to deal by the election. Sounds like they're
14:10
Speaker 2: on track to achieve that. But it's a deal worth
14:13
Speaker 2: the paper it's written on. If it doesn't unlocked twar
14:15
Speaker 2: free access for milk powder. It's our major commodity we
14:18
Speaker 2: sell to the rest of the world. One of the
14:20
Speaker 2: reasons Fonterra is the cat that got the cream right now.
14:23
Speaker 2: We all know this, but in their haste their eagerness,
14:27
Speaker 2: these ministers are going for quick and dirty over comprehensive
14:31
Speaker 2: and all encompassing, which begs the question would a deal
14:35
Speaker 2: look good for the government without dairy in it or
14:38
Speaker 2: would you look a bit dumb because you rushed it.
14:41
Speaker 2: You're rushed in to buy something, you know, buy a
14:45
Speaker 2: car without actually having an engine in it and checking first.
14:48
Speaker 2: Here's why I don't think it will include dairy. India
14:51
Speaker 2: is the world's largest consumer of derry. Did you know
14:54
Speaker 2: that it meets its own demand domestically, albeit with much
14:57
Speaker 2: higher emissions. They wouldn't like that At copp and Brazil.
15:01
Speaker 2: They don't want to by import derry. It's have made
15:05
Speaker 2: that very clear time and again. They have ambitions to
15:09
Speaker 2: be a major dairy exporter of their own in the future.
15:12
Speaker 2: The Brits got a deal disappointed farmers there because why
15:17
Speaker 2: it excluded dairy. You fed Farmers Scotland put out a
15:21
Speaker 2: press release at the time saying, you know it was
15:23
Speaker 2: a sour deal. They're upset about it. You can probably
15:26
Speaker 2: expect the same reaction here when a deal is done
15:29
Speaker 2: without our big money spin it included. Even our treasury
15:32
Speaker 2: says dairy probably ain't gonna happen. I asked Myles Hurl
15:37
Speaker 2: about this a few months ago. He was realistic, basically said,
15:40
Speaker 2: don't think we'll get it across the line. If we do,
15:43
Speaker 2: it'll be invaluable. Of course, it would growth and global
15:47
Speaker 2: dairy consumption expected to be largely driven out of India
15:50
Speaker 2: and Pakistan. To miss this boat would be disappointing. They
15:54
Speaker 2: could include some nothing clause about wanting to open it
15:57
Speaker 2: up in the future, but there'd be no guarantee of that.
16:00
Speaker 2: And we have learned this lesson from the Brits who've
16:02
Speaker 2: just been through this process, which doesn't make this a
16:06
Speaker 2: deal not worth signing, don't get me wrong, but the
16:09
Speaker 2: speed at which it's being done could actually hurt Luxon's
16:12
Speaker 2: self described business negotiation skills if expectations aren't properly managed.
16:19
Speaker 2: Brian b on News Talk saidb lots of text coming
16:24
Speaker 2: and we'll get to that in a second. And I will, Brian,
16:26
Speaker 2: I promise I'll give you a power update. Now, this
16:29
Speaker 2: is interesting from the BBC because you know they've had
16:32
Speaker 2: this cultural review going on at the BBC over in
16:34
Speaker 2: the UK because they're all left wingers, which will surprise
16:38
Speaker 2: absolutely no one. There's a newsreader, Martine Croxel. Now she's
16:44
Speaker 2: broken BBC rules because she was reading a script about
16:48
Speaker 2: there was a heat wave and it was about health
16:51
Speaker 2: problems and who would be affected. And I'll just read
16:53
Speaker 2: you from this. So as the AUTOQ prompted her to
16:56
Speaker 2: warn pregnant people to take care in the heat, she
17:00
Speaker 2: first read the term out before overriding it with a
17:03
Speaker 2: smirk and an eyebrow raise. And here's what she actually said.
17:07
Speaker 2: She said pregnant people women, So sort of corrects herself, right,
17:13
Speaker 2: and you think, well, is that the end of the world. Apparently,
17:16
Speaker 2: so apparently she has broken BBC rules by slightly raising
17:21
Speaker 2: an eyebrow and smirking while reading a strip. There you go.
17:28
Speaker 2: Twenty people complained to the BBC and that is their ruling,
17:32
Speaker 2: that is their finding. They take her off here. News
17:35
Speaker 2: Talks EDB. We're in the UK.
17:37
Speaker 1: Next Ryan Bridge on early edition with r VS Supercenter.
17:48
Speaker 1: Explore r v's accessories and servicing all in one.
17:51
Speaker 2: News TALKSB. When you buy away from six on Newstalk
17:57
Speaker 2: ZB for your Friday morning, we'll talk gas. The government's
18:00
Speaker 2: hoping to get more gas out of the ground quicker.
18:03
Speaker 2: That's before six inns in Macavini in the UK for
18:05
Speaker 2: us this morning. We had the Crown accounts out yesterday
18:08
Speaker 2: and it's not great reading. This is for the September quarter.
18:12
Speaker 2: The increase in payroll tax deductions up two point three
18:15
Speaker 2: percent for September from the same month a year ago.
18:17
Speaker 2: That's the lowest rise since twenty twelve. This is the
18:23
Speaker 2: stuff that you need to get the economy moving, to
18:26
Speaker 2: get the government coffers moving, you know, employment gains, ours work,
18:30
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff which then affects your tax take.
18:32
Speaker 2: For most of the past decade, they've easily exceeded that
18:36
Speaker 2: number of five percent because workers get pushed into high
18:40
Speaker 2: tax brackets and so the government gets more and more money.
18:43
Speaker 2: That's not happening. This is unusual. Also, the GST tax
18:48
Speaker 2: take is down. It's the same effect. The deficit blew
18:50
Speaker 2: out further than forecast for that period. So not a
18:55
Speaker 2: great economic story, just more generally, but also not great
18:59
Speaker 2: for the government comps either. So TBC more work to do.
19:03
Speaker 2: Twenty three away from six in Spicy News on Megan
19:07
Speaker 2: Markol I'll get to in a second. First, let's go
19:09
Speaker 2: around the country with our reporters, Kate riccowned for Dneed
19:11
Speaker 2: and Kate. Good Morning Morning ran Now Southend state of
19:14
Speaker 2: emergency is coming to an end.
19:16
Speaker 7: Yes, Southland will be transitioning into recovery mode at nine
19:19
Speaker 7: point thirty this morning, following the impacts from last month
19:22
Speaker 7: severe winds and wild weather that left twenty five thousand
19:26
Speaker 7: homes without power. Sixty five homes are still in the dark,
19:29
Speaker 7: with twenty two in Southland and forty three in South
19:31
Speaker 7: Otigo with no power. Southland's Emergency Management Alternate Controller, Jonathan Shawes,
19:36
Speaker 7: is the recovery process is about supporting people and rebuilding
19:40
Speaker 7: their lives. He says it's been a challenging event with
19:43
Speaker 7: major impacts across the region.
19:45
Speaker 2: All right, Kate, how's the weather.
19:47
Speaker 7: Mainly fine with high cloud and a high of twenty
19:49
Speaker 7: one degree.
19:49
Speaker 2: Brilliant, Thank you very much. Clear and christ Church morning, Claire,
19:52
Speaker 2: good morning, christ Church's new Green Party MP, community board member.
19:56
Speaker 2: Confidence and you can juggle both these jobs.
19:59
Speaker 8: Yes, so we read there's been a heap of interest
20:01
Speaker 8: in our former city councilor Mike Davidson about how Hill
20:04
Speaker 8: balanced this duel role. He was elevated to be a
20:07
Speaker 8: Green List MP after the resignation of Benjamin Doyle in September.
20:11
Speaker 8: At that time, he said it was simply too late
20:13
Speaker 8: to pull out of the election for a seat on
20:15
Speaker 8: a local community board, so he would look to juggle
20:18
Speaker 8: both roles. Yesterday was the first test of that. He
20:22
Speaker 8: was making his maiden speech in Parliament in Wellington in
20:25
Speaker 8: the afternoon, at the same time he was due to
20:27
Speaker 8: be sworn into the community board here in christ Church.
20:30
Speaker 8: We've asked Davidson about this. He says, look, he simply
20:33
Speaker 8: couldn't be in two places at once. Doing the maiden's
20:35
Speaker 8: speech was a once in a lifetime opportunity he couldn't
20:38
Speaker 8: miss but he's still adamant. He has no concerns about
20:41
Speaker 8: the situation or his ability to represent his community, despite
20:45
Speaker 8: the fact he will need to be in Wellington several
20:47
Speaker 8: days a month.
20:48
Speaker 2: Oh that's a bit cheeky, isn't it.
20:50
Speaker 8: How's you were the clear morning and some evening low clown,
20:54
Speaker 8: but otherwise should be fine. Westerly's turning northeasterly and a
20:57
Speaker 8: high of twenty one.
20:58
Speaker 2: Thank you. That's terrible, really, isn't it. And of course
21:00
Speaker 2: every time whoever whatever the local board's name is, wherever
21:04
Speaker 2: you are in christ Church, he will ditch you every
21:08
Speaker 2: time you are the you know you're the fling. Let's
21:12
Speaker 2: got to mix them, willing to mix. Good morning. But
21:14
Speaker 2: it was shake last night.
21:15
Speaker 9: Yeah, not a shame to say. I was awoken by
21:17
Speaker 9: it last night. It was about nine pm. I am
21:19
Speaker 9: asleep by nine pm. A four point nine magnitude earthquake,
21:23
Speaker 9: very close to Wellington northwest, but of a short, sharp one.
21:27
Speaker 9: You've got one person quoted in the Herald as saying
21:29
Speaker 9: it lasted a decent amount of time.
21:31
Speaker 2: It didn't.
21:32
Speaker 9: It certainly wasn't one of those long rolling ones. But
21:35
Speaker 9: there was an initial bang, which is noted it came
21:38
Speaker 9: upon us very quickly and then faded away quickly as well.
21:41
Speaker 9: What always fascinates me with these quakes is we get
21:44
Speaker 9: these minute and moderate shakes and you have over five
21:48
Speaker 9: hundred people jumping on GeoNet reporting at as strong, fifty
21:52
Speaker 9: skittish people describing it as severe or extreme. It wasn't
21:56
Speaker 9: I wonder if we could invent a few more categories
21:59
Speaker 9: at the top of the scale for them people. But
22:01
Speaker 9: that maybe my Cantabrian past speaking there. But it was
22:04
Speaker 9: an initial jolt that certainly frightened a lot of people.
22:07
Speaker 2: All right, Next, I'm glad you say, how's your weather?
22:11
Speaker 2: Safe and sound?
22:11
Speaker 9: Early rain and clearing to find it should crack the
22:14
Speaker 9: twenties today.
22:14
Speaker 2: All right, brilliant, Thank you. Scarlet's the ten of itch
22:17
Speaker 2: for us in Auckland. Scarlet, good morning, good morning, right,
22:20
Speaker 2: lovely to see you. Now, what is this accouncil going
22:22
Speaker 2: to do to Ponsonby Road?
22:23
Speaker 10: Ponsonby Road, so at is looking to actually introduce evening
22:27
Speaker 10: paid parking and Pontsombe. So we all know how hard
22:29
Speaker 10: it is when you go to Pontsmbe always when you're
22:31
Speaker 10: last minute trying to get a park. So AT's put
22:34
Speaker 10: forward these three proposals introducing paid parking on streets near
22:38
Speaker 10: Pontsomby Road, extending the paid parking into the evenings from
22:41
Speaker 10: Thursday to Saturday, and extending the current resident parking zone.
22:45
Speaker 10: So they're saying the key reason for the changes is
22:47
Speaker 10: to meet that high demand for on street parking. Why
22:50
Speaker 10: it's a matur local board member Sarah Trotman. She says,
22:53
Speaker 10: usually when paid parkings put in, businesses don't get access
22:56
Speaker 10: to any permits. So she's saying that this means employees
22:59
Speaker 10: who use car to travel to work don't have anywhere
23:01
Speaker 10: to park. And she says there is the opportunity for
23:04
Speaker 10: the car turnover the AT wants, but on the other hand,
23:06
Speaker 10: people might just stay home.
23:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, avoid the place altogether, because then you got to
23:10
Speaker 2: pay for parking as well as your meal, which is
23:12
Speaker 2: already expensive. Exactly all right. How's our weather?
23:14
Speaker 10: Mainly fine, passing cloud sea breezes and a high of
23:17
Speaker 10: twenty five degrees.
23:18
Speaker 2: Brilliant, Thank you, Scarlett. It is nineteen minutes away from six.
23:22
Speaker 2: On News Talk ZB Megan Markle. You know she before
23:26
Speaker 2: she became the Royal family's biggest ball lake. Basically she
23:33
Speaker 2: was an actress. She starred in the TV series Suits
23:37
Speaker 2: in twenty seventeen before she married Harry. Now she is
23:40
Speaker 2: coming back to the small screen. She is set to
23:43
Speaker 2: start in a film called Close Personal Friends, to be
23:48
Speaker 2: released online. Comedy film follows two couples where one is
23:52
Speaker 2: famous and the other is not. And the real kicker
23:56
Speaker 2: here is that Markle is set to play herself how
24:00
Speaker 2: delightful in the film, alongs alongside stars like Lily Collins,
24:05
Speaker 2: Breed Larssen. Do we know these people, mackenzie? Do we
24:08
Speaker 2: know these people?
24:08
Speaker 11: No?
24:09
Speaker 2: McKenzie's young Jack Quaid. Now Jack Quaid is the son
24:13
Speaker 2: of Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan. He's apparently in it.
24:16
Speaker 2: But apart from that, who are these people? She's been
24:18
Speaker 2: spotted in Pasadena, California, acting in front of the cameras again, Well,
24:23
Speaker 2: the real question is whether that ever actually stopped. Eighteen
24:26
Speaker 2: minutes away from six, we're in the UK. Next News
24:28
Speaker 2: Talk sebb It is quarter to six on News Talk SeeDB.
24:32
Speaker 2: This is for Brian, specifically for you, Brian, because you've
24:35
Speaker 2: been testing me this morning about the power in Northland.
24:38
Speaker 2: It's actually pretty bad. Twenty three thousand people without power.
24:41
Speaker 2: This is from five o'clock yesterday. That's the second time
24:44
Speaker 2: it's happened in a week and they're not really sure
24:46
Speaker 2: why at this point, so they have to sort something out.
24:48
Speaker 2: Katy Ketty Russell, Pie Hair Cowakawa, Kai Coe all affected.
24:52
Speaker 2: The latest I can tell you, Brian, is that Top
24:56
Speaker 2: Energy's website right now says the power's still off. But
24:59
Speaker 2: last night in an update at ten thirty, they said
25:03
Speaker 2: we will have it on progressively coming back home with
25:07
Speaker 2: the next two to three hours. So clearly it's not
25:10
Speaker 2: it hasn't been all within two to three hours, has it?
25:12
Speaker 2: Fourteen away from six.
25:13
Speaker 1: Now International correspondence with ins an Eye Insurance Peace of
25:18
Speaker 1: Mind for New Zealand business.
25:20
Speaker 2: So the UK accidentally frees two prisoners and one of
25:24
Speaker 2: them is now handing himself in Vincent Mecaminie are UK
25:26
Speaker 2: europe correspondent Vincent. They'll be pleased that he's at least
25:29
Speaker 2: done something, honest.
25:31
Speaker 12: Yeah, there was a double man hunt afterway after these
25:34
Speaker 12: two prisoners were mistakenly both released from Wandsworth Prison in
25:38
Speaker 12: London in the past few weeks. Now thirty five year
25:40
Speaker 12: old William Smith, who was convicted of fraud. He has
25:45
Speaker 12: this afternoon handed himself back in. He was accidentally released
25:49
Speaker 12: because they thought that his four year prison sentence was suspended,
25:53
Speaker 12: but it wasn't. But one person still on the run,
25:55
Speaker 12: of twenty four year old Algerian sex offender Brahim kodorsha Reef.
26:01
Speaker 12: That is causing concern because this is the exact same
26:03
Speaker 12: thing that happened last month when another convicted sex offender
26:07
Speaker 12: was accidentally released due to be deported but was released.
26:11
Speaker 12: And it's raising questions about the prison service because it
26:14
Speaker 12: seems a lot of the stuff that's being done there
26:17
Speaker 12: is being done by hand, by sort of paperwork that's
26:21
Speaker 12: well out of date. The systems aren't working and it's
26:24
Speaker 12: people looking at calendars trying to work things out themselves.
26:27
Speaker 12: So big questions for the government about how they're going
26:29
Speaker 12: to reform prisons here.
26:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds like it too.
26:32
Speaker 11: Now.
26:32
Speaker 2: Prince William's over at cop in Brazil. What does this
26:37
Speaker 2: mean is did he fly there on a private cheat?
26:40
Speaker 2: That's really all I ca here about.
26:42
Speaker 12: No, they don't tend to go on private jets, actually
26:44
Speaker 12: they do. The Royal family does tend to fly commercial
26:48
Speaker 12: these days, well, especially for international stuff. But he is
26:51
Speaker 12: there for his Earth's Shot Prize, which has been running
26:54
Speaker 12: for about the last five years. It's a bit like
26:57
Speaker 12: the Moonshot Prize that Kennedy had back in the nineteen
27:00
Speaker 12: sixties for space exploration. This is about trying to find
27:03
Speaker 12: new and innovative ways to protect the environment. And he's
27:06
Speaker 12: announced the list of winners. So there's things like sort
27:10
Speaker 12: of regreening projects and other climate projects are high seas
27:16
Speaker 12: global initiative in order to conserve marine life of some
27:19
Speaker 12: of the winners this year. And he'll also be going
27:22
Speaker 12: on to the COP thirty summits with our Prime Minister
27:25
Speaker 12: Sekir Starmer to try and talk to world leaders about
27:28
Speaker 12: some of these ideas and what they're doing is a
27:30
Speaker 12: time where the consensus really seem to be broken down.
27:33
Speaker 12: A lot of the big world leaders who used to
27:35
Speaker 12: turn up regularly to these kind of things, most notably
27:38
Speaker 12: Chinese Premiere Hu Jimping and US President Donald Trump, avoiding
27:41
Speaker 12: this one because they're you know, it's not at the
27:43
Speaker 12: top of their agenda anymore.
27:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, which makes you wonder what's the point in
27:47
Speaker 2: the thing of half of the worlds and matters aren't
27:50
Speaker 2: in the room. Appreciate your time, Vincent Meca of Any,
27:52
Speaker 2: a UK europe correspondent. It's twelve to six governments allowing
27:56
Speaker 2: the bar for guest companies to get access to that
27:58
Speaker 2: big fund, the two hundred million bucks, the Gas Security Fund.
28:02
Speaker 2: This is meant for new exploration. They're loosening the criteria,
28:06
Speaker 2: opening it up to a wider range of products. Boost
28:08
Speaker 2: down dwindling supply. We know we need more of it.
28:11
Speaker 2: This means, on top of looking and drilling for more gas,
28:14
Speaker 2: ourselves will take applications for anyone who can get us
28:18
Speaker 2: more gas quickly. John Carnegie is the energy resources out
28:22
Speaker 2: there that our CEO with me this morning. John, Good morning, Yeah,
28:25
Speaker 2: good morning Ryan. How many applications that we had for
28:27
Speaker 2: the current regime do you know? Or how much interest?
28:29
Speaker 2: Not much?
28:31
Speaker 11: Oh, I know, we're already seeing some positive signs. I
28:34
Speaker 11: spent some time last month with international partner groups in
28:39
Speaker 11: Central America and the UK that have members who are
28:41
Speaker 11: actually looking incredibly closely at the whole package of the
28:45
Speaker 11: new regulatory settings for the sector and this change will
28:50
Speaker 11: hopefully spark more interest. And actually we've already had one
28:54
Speaker 11: new permit application and we expect more to come.
28:58
Speaker 2: How many more do you reckon well, that's.
29:01
Speaker 11: Going to be a judgment made by the companies as
29:04
Speaker 11: to whether or not New Zealand's investable. And ultimately, companies
29:08
Speaker 11: will only invest if they see stable, durable policy, and
29:12
Speaker 11: that's why dipartisan political support for these measures are so crucial.
29:17
Speaker 2: Which we haven't got yet obviously. Is you know Shane
29:20
Speaker 2: Jones has been talking about, is this actually the amount
29:24
Speaker 2: two hundred million is not enough in the fund or
29:26
Speaker 2: is it the criteria? Are we limiting it at too much?
29:29
Speaker 2: And is that why they're having to change this now?
29:33
Speaker 11: No, Look, I think more money is always nice, Ryan,
29:37
Speaker 11: Oil and gas exploration is an expensive business and frankly
29:41
Speaker 11: two hundred million won't go far, especially if it's sliced thinly.
29:45
Speaker 11: But actually, as I've just alluded to, it is much
29:49
Speaker 11: about the overall risk profile of the activity than the
29:52
Speaker 11: money itself, and so it's encouraging to see the new
29:56
Speaker 11: level of support. But the focus now should be on
29:59
Speaker 11: creat endurable, evidence based policy settings could give investors confidence
30:05
Speaker 11: for the future, and on helping reduce their cost base.
30:08
Speaker 2: Appreciate your time's wanting. John John Carnegie Energy Resources altered
30:11
Speaker 2: our CEO of Chima's nine to six. Ryan Bridge and
30:15
Speaker 2: Nancy Pelosi. This is California Democrat. You'll know Nancy Pelosi's
30:19
Speaker 2: face even if you don't recognize her name. She has
30:21
Speaker 2: been in the game for decades. In fact, she has
30:25
Speaker 2: had twenty terms in Congress. She's retiring. She's eighty five.
30:31
Speaker 2: She's the one that sat behind Trump when he was
30:34
Speaker 2: doing a State of the Union and ripped up the
30:37
Speaker 2: piece of paper. Do you remember that she was because
30:39
Speaker 2: she used to be the House speaker. Anyway, she's announced
30:41
Speaker 2: that she is stepping down from politics, which is eighty
30:43
Speaker 2: five after twenty terms. You'd have to say was a
30:46
Speaker 2: pretty good innings. News talks there B it's nine to
30:49
Speaker 2: six the.
30:50
Speaker 1: News you need this morning and the in depth analysis
30:54
Speaker 1: early edition with Ryan Bridge and r V Supercenter explore
30:58
Speaker 1: RV's accessories and so us all than one news talks that.
31:01
Speaker 2: Be just gone seven to six news talks. HEB. You know,
31:04
Speaker 2: Ma'm Danni over in the in New York City, had
31:07
Speaker 2: rent freezers, universal health care, you know, free buses. They've
31:13
Speaker 2: even got government run grocery stores on their to do list.
31:18
Speaker 2: Does anyone think this is actually going to happen? He's
31:20
Speaker 2: announced his team that's going to back him, and it's
31:23
Speaker 2: an all female transition team preparing for the mayoralty of
31:28
Speaker 2: New York City. And as for Trump's influence, because you
31:31
Speaker 2: know how he's saying, I'm going to do something about this. Well,
31:34
Speaker 2: of the budget that they get each year, seven point
31:36
Speaker 2: four billion dollars comes from federal funding. That's about six
31:40
Speaker 2: point four percent, So it's not kind of make or
31:43
Speaker 2: break stuff. The influence will be limited. Six away from
31:45
Speaker 2: six Bryan Bridge. Mike's here in the studio this morning.
31:48
Speaker 2: Good morning, Mike morning.
31:49
Speaker 13: When you said transition team, are all those team transitioning?
31:52
Speaker 13: Is that what you're saying that, I'm no, no, no, no,
31:56
Speaker 13: it's confusing.
31:57
Speaker 2: For no, transition from you know, nothing, from obscurity into mayoralty.
32:03
Speaker 13: I understand what you're saying. Now, just make it clear,
32:06
Speaker 13: right and otherwise, you know, you just don't know where
32:07
Speaker 13: you're at this morning. Speaking which related matters, there is
32:09
Speaker 13: an announcement coming today from the government on the films,
32:13
Speaker 13: and Trump's because he's got the big film there and
32:15
Speaker 13: no one can work out what an American made film is,
32:18
Speaker 13: of course for obvious reasons, so we're announcing today this
32:22
Speaker 13: is I'm torn because I can't work out whether it's
32:24
Speaker 13: a good idea or not. So what I know for
32:26
Speaker 13: a fact is when they did the original deal with
32:28
Speaker 13: Peter Jackson, remember Key and etc. So anyway they say
32:33
Speaker 13: the dollar in dollar back, it works, so as an
32:35
Speaker 13: equation it works in theory though it's a race, isn't
32:38
Speaker 13: it to the bottom. And what they're announcing today is
32:41
Speaker 13: that the tax benefits for making a film here plus
32:43
Speaker 13: also finishing a film off, which is the other part
32:46
Speaker 13: of the equation, are going to increase. So in other words,
32:49
Speaker 13: to attract the tax rebate, you need to spend as
32:52
Speaker 13: of today less on the film to get that particular benefit.
32:56
Speaker 13: So in other words, if it goes from say it's
33:00
Speaker 13: down to four million, so I can make the announcement
33:02
Speaker 13: even though they haven't made it. So it's down to
33:03
Speaker 13: four million, right, so you only have to spend four
33:05
Speaker 13: million on a film and suddenly you're starting to write
33:07
Speaker 13: text off, which is fine, but how long before it's zero?
33:10
Speaker 13: So in other words, you know, just come and make
33:11
Speaker 13: a film, will give you text you know what I mean?
33:13
Speaker 2: Which was the argument to begin with, wasn't that? And
33:16
Speaker 2: then Australia would move and Mexico would.
33:18
Speaker 13: Move and it's exactly what's happened.
33:20
Speaker 2: But that's the problem.
33:21
Speaker 13: So you're up against one Trump who goes well know
33:23
Speaker 13: as making movies in America, which is obviously true. But
33:26
Speaker 13: two also, whatever we do, Australia would do, Ireland does,
33:30
Speaker 13: India does.
33:31
Speaker 2: Here's the reason I don't care about this is that
33:34
Speaker 2: if you look at South Korea, South Korea is one
33:36
Speaker 2: of the fastest growing tourist destinations in New Zealand. And
33:39
Speaker 2: we know how good Lord of the Rings was for
33:40
Speaker 2: tourism here, right, So it's not just about the actual film,
33:44
Speaker 2: it's about the people who watched the movie. Lots of
33:47
Speaker 2: the show K Pop Demon Hunters. Yeah, sure that most
33:51
Speaker 2: what show on Netflix is there The Rings? Though, exactly so.
33:55
Speaker 13: But every four million dollar movie made in New Zealand,
33:59
Speaker 13: someone's not sitting in Arkansas, gone wow, look at that.
34:02
Speaker 2: No. No, but these days they don't make those big
34:05
Speaker 2: ones anymore. So you've got to do a thousand crap
34:08
Speaker 2: ones and throw them on Netflix.
34:10
Speaker 13: Great show, Jesse, You have a good weekend, won't you? Hey?
