  Speaker 3: Police say the victim and the attacks suffered injuries to
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: his eyes, back and face.
• 1:12
  Speaker 7: It's my understanding that the suspect was granted leave to
• 1:17
  Speaker 7: remain in the United Kingdom on the twenty eighth of
• 1:20
  Speaker 7: September of twenty twenty three. Again, this is to be confirmed,
• 1:27
  Speaker 7: but I'm informed that he made his way from Sudan
• 1:31
  Speaker 7: to Paris at dates unknown, and from Paris he flew
• 1:36
  Speaker 7: to Dublin.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: The Israeli military has carried out strikes on the southern

  Speaker 3: Lebanese city of Tire, a day after Iran called for
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: a text on Lebanon to stop. Lebanese media say at
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: least eight people have been killed in the attacks, but
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: Trump says Israel won't go back to war with the run.
• 1:52
  Speaker 8: They both agreed roommate to slap. And we're in the
• 1:57
  Speaker 8: final throes of what will be a very very good
• 1:59
  Speaker 8: deal that will not allow in any way, shape or form,
• 2:03
  Speaker 8: nuclear weapons, etc. And the Strait will open up right away.
• 2:07
  Speaker 8: It'll open up immediately upon signing, which could be in
• 2:10
  Speaker 8: two or three days.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: And finally, NASA has named the four astronauts who will
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: blast off as part of Artemis three's mission in twenty
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: twenty seven. The next steps for human to return to
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: the Moon under.
• 2:21
  Speaker 9: Our mission specialist for Artemis three, test engineer and Coastguard
• 2:26
  Speaker 9: Reserve commander making his first space flight Mission Specialist Andre Douglas.
• 2:33
  Speaker 9: We have Army Blackhawk helicopter pilot, family medicine physician and
• 2:38
  Speaker 9: record setting astronaut Mission specialist Colonel Frank Ruvio, the first
• 2:43
  Speaker 9: Italian space station commander, an Italian Air Force colonel and
• 2:47
  Speaker 9: test pilot Luca Parmatano.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: So the crew Andre Douglas of Frank Rubio, Luca Parmitano
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: and Randy Bresnik will launch into Earth's all butit next
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: year from the Kennedy Space Center in Floria. The mission
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: will be two weeks long.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Francesca Rudkin on Early Edition with Spark for Business Technology
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: that keeps Business moving US talks that be.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: It's nine past five, so over the last couple of
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: weeks we've been talking about all these really little changes,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: but I think significant changes that the government is making
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: to help patients get more affordable care quickly and closer
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: to home. Also designed to take the pressure off GPS
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: and emergency departments, pharmacists have new funding to help patients. Next,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: the government is hoping paramedics will be able to prescribe
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: medicines to those that they can treat at home without
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: having to take them to hospital to get a prescription.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Both good ideas to help create a more flexible health system.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: But one comment that has arisen over these changes is
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: does this actually make it easier for patients to access
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: the medicines they need? You still got to get to
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: the pharmacy, don't you. But it's been announced today that
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: the Associate Health Minister by the Associate Health Minister that
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: soon you might be able to click and collect your
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: medication from e lockers. So this is going to allow
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: people to pick up medicines at the most convenient time
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: for them and to start taking medicine more promptly. So
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: it's going to be great for those who struggle to
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: access their prescription medicines, disabled people, people in rural areas,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: poor people. It's important for old, older people and those
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: with chronic medical conditions to have that flexibility, and those
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: who work long hours or shift work who can't get
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: to their pharmacy during open hours. Of course, you can
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: already get a prescription sent to you. But this is
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: thought to be a safer option. I was thinking about this.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: My pharmacy has a now closed post office right next
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: to it, and it's still probably got all its pair
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: of boxes. I have no idea whether you could turn
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: those into elockers, but it's kind of made for this.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: It's perfect anyway. I reckon this is another common sense change.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Keen to hear from you. Ninety two. Ninety two is
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: a text number you're with early edition. It's eleven past five.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Get ahead of the headlines on a early edition.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Friends, Jessica Rudkin and Spark for business technology that keeps
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: business moving.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: News dogs that'd be.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: It's five thirteen. A huge day for the agricultural sector.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Field Days gets underweight Mystery Creek today for its fifty
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: eighth year. More than one one hundred exhibitors are on site.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Every single space is sold out. Federated Farmers Immigration spokesperson
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Carl Dean is heading along and he joins me, Now,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: good morning, Carl.
• 5:25
  Speaker 10: In the morning.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Paint us a bit of a picture of how Field
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Days is going to run today.
• 5:31
  Speaker 10: Oh to say, this is obviously going to be the
• 5:34
  Speaker 10: busy day for the farmers and it's beautiful weathery're up
• 5:37
  Speaker 10: here in Hilton, so it's going to be a busy day.
• 5:40
  Speaker 10: I expect lots of people through the whole event and
• 5:44
  Speaker 10: hopefully a few people come and see us and the
• 5:46
  Speaker 10: advocacy happen as well.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: The fifty eighth year, does it show how strong our
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: agriculture sector is?
• 5:54
  Speaker 10: It does? I mean it shows that this event keeps
• 5:58
  Speaker 10: happening here after year. I think briefly stop one year
• 6:01
  Speaker 10: during COVID. Perhaps it just shows that every year farms
• 6:06
  Speaker 10: turn out in droves, have looked at all the greatest
• 6:09
  Speaker 10: newest tech, to get together talk amongst people that they
• 6:13
  Speaker 10: may not have seen for a year now. Some people
• 6:17
  Speaker 10: they'll meet up at field Days every year. It's a
• 6:19
  Speaker 10: great community event as well.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Are you expecting there'll be a spend up.
• 6:25
  Speaker 10: I think that'll be. It'll be interesting to see the
• 6:29
  Speaker 10: thing in the recent years. Most people for going to
• 6:32
  Speaker 10: spend money, they won't do it at field Days, whether
• 6:35
  Speaker 10: prior or. They might do it a few months afterwards,
• 6:38
  Speaker 10: but it's the best time to come and look at
• 6:40
  Speaker 10: all the different types of gear that are here and
• 6:44
  Speaker 10: compare them. Now they won't see the latest tech.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: No episode is going to mention that a lot of innovation,
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: a lot of new tech. Are you you know, are
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: there any unique stalls that you're king to check out?
• 6:57
  Speaker 10: I think for myself will be just just having a
• 6:59
  Speaker 10: look at sea there's any new geology in the dairy
• 7:02
  Speaker 10: space in terms if there's any any progression and can
• 7:07
  Speaker 10: milk cows but more efficiently? Or how are we looking
• 7:10
  Speaker 10: at virtual fencing or heat detection for cows? All those
• 7:15
  Speaker 10: products seem to be evolving in a rapid space at
• 7:18
  Speaker 10: the moment.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: How where do people go? What do they get out
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: of it?
• 7:24
  Speaker 10: As I mentioned before, it's really about for the farmers,
• 7:27
  Speaker 10: it's about connecting with other farmers and people that they
• 7:31
  Speaker 10: may not have seen in a year's time. So it
• 7:34
  Speaker 10: is about that whole community feel. And I know know
• 7:37
  Speaker 10: people that have come from the South end come up
• 7:40
  Speaker 10: every year. It's literally they come catch up with people
• 7:44
  Speaker 10: that they are from the north Land, have a look around,
• 7:47
  Speaker 10: have a good jarn and really just get together. It's great.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Your thoughts on acts proposed Rural Workforce visa.
• 7:58
  Speaker 10: I think it's it's a good debt and yeah, obviously
• 8:03
  Speaker 10: it's a proposal. It's something that i'd love to see
• 8:06
  Speaker 10: some other political parties come out with similar proposals for
• 8:10
  Speaker 10: something that can help provincial New Zealand as we still
• 8:14
  Speaker 10: do have a low unemployment figure in the provinces. So
• 8:21
  Speaker 10: it's really about trying to actually specify that well in
• 8:25
  Speaker 10: the rural economy we still need this labor force.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Does it improve on what we already have?
• 8:31
  Speaker 10: I think it gives a very clear pathway for At
• 8:36
  Speaker 10: the moment, we seem to have a lot of skilled
• 8:38
  Speaker 10: migrants that will go to Australia and Canada because they
• 8:41
  Speaker 10: can see clear pathway to residency and it's that that
• 8:45
  Speaker 10: New Zealand's currently missing. It's a bit hairy fiery. You've
• 8:52
  Speaker 10: got got a lot of hope that you get from
• 8:54
  Speaker 10: one visa to another visa to be on that pathway.
• 8:58
  Speaker 10: This would allow it to be very clear cut and
• 9:00
  Speaker 10: we'd probably then be on a level playing field with
• 9:03
  Speaker 10: those countries.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: So do you know whether do you know whether somebody
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: who was on one of these visas would have to
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: return home and come back again in order to you know,
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: get there too three year visas to hit that six
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: year mark.
• 9:17
  Speaker 10: From what I understand, note, they would be able to
• 9:20
  Speaker 10: continue to stands on for the six years, provided that
• 9:25
  Speaker 10: there is still the skills shortage at the end of
• 9:28
  Speaker 10: that three year mark. So you know, obviously, if the
• 9:32
  Speaker 10: labor shortage was no longer in the country and you
• 9:35
  Speaker 10: advertised and here we applied and he was suitable, then
• 9:40
  Speaker 10: that person will most slightly have to go home. But
• 9:43
  Speaker 10: I feel still the labor shortage they would gain another
• 9:46
  Speaker 10: three years.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Right, Carl Dean, thank you so much. You're right, the
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: weather does look fantastic, so enjoy the next four days.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: Thank you so much for your time. And that was
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Carl Dene federrated Farmers Immigration spokesperson. It's eighteen past.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Five on your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early Edition
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: with Francesca Rudger and Spark for business Technology that keeps
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: business moving.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: News talks at b New Zealanders are viewing Asia more
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: favorably than ever. This is according to a big new
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: report from the Asian New Zealand Foundation. They're so favorable
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: towards Asian countries that for the first time in a decade,
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: we see China as more of a friend than the
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: United States. Talk about this. I'm joined by Massi University
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: sociologist Professor Paul Spoonley always loves to talk to you, Paul,
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Good morning. Why are key we is happier
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: with China than the US at the moment? Or is
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: the question actually, are we more fond of China and
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: because we're potentially less fond of the US?
• 10:43
  Speaker 11: Yes, yes, that's probably the latter. What's happening is that
• 10:48
  Speaker 11: China is increasingly seen as a friend rather than a foe.
• 10:52
  Speaker 11: But the real story here is the collapse of confidence
• 10:57
  Speaker 11: in the USA. So China's seen by forty three percent
• 11:03
  Speaker 11: of New Zealand as a friend compared with thirty nine
• 11:06
  Speaker 11: percent who see the USA as a friend. The USA
• 11:11
  Speaker 11: friend number has dropped by twenty two percent. So I
• 11:16
  Speaker 11: think it's got a lot to do with the incumbent
• 11:17
  Speaker 11: in the White House.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: I know we're talking right, Okay, we're talking about Asia.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: But I was wondering if we know why that is
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: and that's the main reason.
• 11:25
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I think we can.
• 11:27
  Speaker 11: I think we're fairly confident that it is the main reason.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: Yes, Indeed, why do New Zealanders see the relationship with
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Asia is more important?
• 11:35
  Speaker 11: Well, for a long time. These surveys, by the way,
• 11:39
  Speaker 11: have been going since nineteen ninety seven. So they provide
• 11:41
  Speaker 11: a really good indication of how we've changed over the
• 11:44
  Speaker 11: last thirty odd years. And of course trade and particularly
• 11:49
  Speaker 11: defense and security are the two top reasons. But increasing
• 11:53
  Speaker 11: we're seeing a lot of soft airs, what I've called
• 11:56
  Speaker 11: soft areas, things like sport, food, tourism as being really
• 12:02
  Speaker 11: important in terms of our engagement with Asia. So we're
• 12:06
  Speaker 11: seeing Asia. One of the interesting things Franjessica is that
• 12:10
  Speaker 11: you know, we still we still go in this This
• 12:13
  Speaker 11: is from the survey. We're still are indicating that we're
• 12:15
  Speaker 11: going to Europe for our oe, but increasingly Asia is
• 12:20
  Speaker 11: catching up and it's not far behind.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: It's interesting, isn't it. Trips to Asia are up fourteen
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: percent on last year. Why has it become such a
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: go to a destination for New Zealand. I would suggest
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: our dollar.
• 12:34
  Speaker 11: Yes, cost cost as part of it, but also because
• 12:39
  Speaker 11: we're seeing it all positively, and I think what's happening
• 12:42
  Speaker 11: is that Asia draws as a destination. We like the food.
• 12:47
  Speaker 11: If you look at the word map in the document,
• 12:49
  Speaker 11: it's really interesting. Food is the largest word in that
• 12:54
  Speaker 11: in that food map, in that map that in terms
• 12:58
  Speaker 11: of what how we see Asia. But we're attracted by
• 13:01
  Speaker 11: the food, by the culture, by the climate, by the cost.
• 13:05
  Speaker 11: You're absolutely right. And I think the other thing which
• 13:07
  Speaker 11: has changed is that we've got much larger Asian communities
• 13:12
  Speaker 11: here in New Zealand and so a lot of the
• 13:16
  Speaker 11: survey shows that we're becoming more positive about our life
• 13:21
  Speaker 11: here in New Zealand and about the role of Asian
• 13:24
  Speaker 11: and Asian culture and food here. And we see it
• 13:28
  Speaker 11: here in this country and.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: We see that especially in younger people, don't we.
• 13:33
  Speaker 11: Yes, yeah, I mean, I mean, you know, I'm an
• 13:35
  Speaker 11: older New Zealander, so I did grow up with sushi.
• 13:37
  Speaker 11: Sushi's of sushi is something that's come along since. I
• 13:40
  Speaker 11: love it, but it's come along since. But definitely when
• 13:43
  Speaker 11: you look at the younger New Zealander, you know, Asian culture,
• 13:47
  Speaker 11: whether it's sport or media. K pop for example, really
• 13:51
  Speaker 11: interesting to see the way in which New Zealanders are
• 13:55
  Speaker 11: interested in Korean films and music. That's a young person's
• 14:02
  Speaker 11: thing in New Zealand and so K pop's just really
• 14:05
  Speaker 11: big here now.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: Professor Paul Spoonley, thank you so much for talking us
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: through that. Appreciate your time this morning. Japan is still
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: our bestiae it's our number one favorite place in Asia,
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: now more trusted than the UK for the first time ever.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Cynthia We Go twenty five twenty four past five You
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: with Newstalk VV the early edition.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by Newstalk V.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: It is twenty six past five. Recently I had a
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: guest on the Sunday session, an Assie who was in
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: New Zealand and was loving it. They said to me
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: off here that here everyone was relaxed, welcoming and smiled
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: at you on the street. They were really taken aback
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: by the mood here compared with over the ditch in Australia.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: They said, it's pretty grim. Everyone is down and just
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: getting on with it. Of Course, I asked, how can
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: that be. I thought the Australian weather and the amazing
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: lifestyle put everyone in a good mood. And they said
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: it had rained all summer. I thought this was an
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: interesting observation, but was it a little bit skeptical? And
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: then I stumbled across an article in the Sydney Morning
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: Herald basically saying satisfaction with life among many Australians is
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: lower now than during the depths of the pandemic as
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: the cost of living and housing is squeezing people in
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: their twenties, thirties, and forties. The story was based on
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: research released yesterday by consulting agency KPMG, which tracks life
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: satisfaction whether a person is content with their circumstances, so
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: pretty much what it says on the tin. They discovered
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: life satisfaction is now substantially lower than it was in
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: the mid twenty tens across all age groups, while it
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: has nose dived among people facing the biggest financial hit.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: Those in their twenties and thirties are dealing with high
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: rents and large mortgages, and wealth has flatlined. For the
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: Sandwich generation, is they care that their children and their parents.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: Everyone is dealing with wages that have not kept up
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: with inflation. Younger people and older people are a bit
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: more satisfied, but not as much as they used to be.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: The key issue affecting satisfaction is the stress of managing
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: household finances. More than twenty one percent of people reported
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: they would struggle to raise two thousand dollars in a
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: week for an emergency, while a coarter said they had
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: experienced a cash flow problem in the past year. Kind
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: of all sounds pretty familiar, doesn't it, And yet drawn
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: by higher wages in a larger and more diverse job market,
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: here we are still flooding over the ditch. I don't
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: want to turn this into a competition about who was
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: more satisfied with life, but it does make you wonder
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: if we are balancing the scales somewhat. Of course, it
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: depends on your priorities, doesn't it. If your priorities are
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: in calme, career growth, warmer weather in larger cities, then
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: you know Australia tends to come out ahead. If your
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: priorities in nature, community, outdoor lifestyle and a slower pace
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: of life, then New Zealand often comes out ahead. But
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: one thing to consider, which may suggest we're slightly more
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: satisfied in New Zealand, we're not so frustrated with our
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: lives and country that we'd likely consider Pauline Hanson, the
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: Prime Minister.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: News Talk said, b.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: So have you got friends family in oz? Is this
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: what you were hearing? Is the grass really greener in Australia?
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: King to get your thoughts ninety two ninety two right.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Karam Khan, who is the International Criminal Court Chief prosecutor.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: He was the one that sought wreaths for Benjamin Yahu
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: over alleged war crimes links to Gaza. He has been
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: suspended for his job over sexual misconduct. Gavin Gray is
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: going to talk us through this shortly. News is next.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Before the news breaks here at first, Francesca Rudkin on
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: early edition with Spark for Business Technology that keeps business
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: moving News Talk said.
• 17:58
  Speaker 12: B.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: This is early edition on Newstalks there be I'm Francisco
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: Roking filling in for Ryan. Thanks for being with us.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: So in the next half hour we're going to get
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: the latest on this horrific knife attack in Belfast. A
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: man believed to be a Sudanese attempted to be head
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: the victim. And the government has announced that they're going
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: to proceed with this LNG terminal. It's not going to
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: be funded by levy on power bills. The government has
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: passed on the responsibility of dealing with the dry year
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: risk to Gen Taylor's. They have to take on the
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: cost of building this billion dollar terminal, but are you
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: convinced that we won't see the cost passed on to
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: the consumer. So we're going to talk through that before
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: the end of the hour as well, I thank you
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: very much for your text. A lot of you are
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: saying the reason we're all traveling to Asia is because
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: of the weak New Zealand dollar, which I think you've
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: got a point there. Another person said, it's not a
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: man whether the grass is greener and oz franch escrit.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: It's just that so many New Zealanders have nothing to lose,
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: so they may as well go. Thank you for that.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's quite a headline. Every generation of Australians
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: thinks life is worse than a decade ago. Do you
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: think would you say the same thing here in New Zealand.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: And also another person is heading off to field days
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: for a completely different reason, not to look at necessarily
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: what's on sale and to catch up with people. Somebody
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: text us say, I've got seventeen years in tech in
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: olds in New Zealand. I'm off to field days with
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: my CV in hand to go find a job because
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: they will not come to me in Auckland. Thank you
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: very much for your feedback. Keeper coming you can text
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: on ninety two ninety two. It is twenty one to
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: six news Talk said be okay, let's head around the
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: country now. Joining us from Dunedin. Callum Proctor, Good morning,
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: morning and surprise, surprise, issues are still being found in
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: Dunedan's notorious student flats.
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah they are, but so the situation does lot to
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: be improving. NB inspected fifty three student flats here Inton,
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: Eden last year and that led to a number of
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: new gutters, bathrooms and roofs. But it's now completed a
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: further fourteen inspections recently in an effort to stamp out
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: the notion that living in cold, damp rundown flats is
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: a student right of passage, and these latest inspections are
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: still found problems such as broken windows and moldy conditions,
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: although not as severe as previous years. The National manager,
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: Brett Wilson says the norm of living in a bad
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: rental needs to change as there are long term impacts
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: of not living in a healthy environment. And in Eden's
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: weather today fine today here westill he's dying out and fourteen.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: Sounds good thanks Calor. Mclaire Sherwood is in Christy, Good morning, Claire.
• 20:43
  Speaker 13: Good morning.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: Okay. So the Super Rugby round which took place in
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: Antique weekend, it was a good thing for the city,
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: was it.
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: Ever, christ at gen Z's crunched the numbers from the
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: weekend and released its economic impact report from the opening
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: weekend of our very long awaited news Stadium well It's
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: revealed that visitors spent more than thirteen million dollars in
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: christ Church over that weekend Rugby festival. That's more than
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: double the six million dollars that had been forecast. The
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: event did attract to more than seventy three thousand attendees,
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: including almost seventeen thousand that came from elsewhere in New
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: Zealand and almost four thousand internationals. Christ Church and Z's
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: and Newman says it's an amazing reflection of years of
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: postquake planning and it was simply fantastic to see the
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: city come alive. She says discussions are already underway to
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: try to host the event again, with this year demonstrating
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: christ Church is capable of successfully hosting something of this size.
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: And the weather today a little bit cold, should be
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: frosty this morning as well, then clearing to fine, light
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: winds and a high of fifteen.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: Thanks so much. Claire. Adam Cooper is in Wellington. Good morning,
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: Adam morning. How the waves looking today?
• 21:52
  Speaker 8: Yeah?
• 21:52
  Speaker 14: A lot calmer, but that's so we're not out of
• 21:55
  Speaker 14: the woods yet, not for the swell reasons, though Wellington's
• 21:58
  Speaker 14: messs people evacuated because of those extreme swells can return
• 22:01
  Speaker 14: home now. The state of emergency for the city's southern
• 22:04
  Speaker 14: and eastern wards has lifted. Met Service expects the potential
• 22:08
  Speaker 14: for damage during the high tide later tonight will be
• 22:11
  Speaker 14: less than expect although where the warnings will remain through
• 22:14
  Speaker 14: until tomorrow. But of course it sometimes just feels like
• 22:16
  Speaker 14: it's never ending here in Wellington. The Mayor says there
• 22:19
  Speaker 14: is still danger associated with the untreated sewage from the
• 22:22
  Speaker 14: mob Point treatment plant, so he says there is a
• 22:25
  Speaker 14: higher risk sea movement could move that contaminated water closer Toshore,
• 22:30
  Speaker 14: so still stay away from the water.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: As the message no winter dips today.
• 22:35
  Speaker 14: Wellington's weather yeah, partly cloudy, possible shows find by the
• 22:38
  Speaker 14: afternoon though in the high thirteen.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: Thank you so much. Neither ritty Man who was in
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: the Auckland studio and yesterday neither we were talking about
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: how the orkand Council Committee was going to decide yesterday
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: on what rezoning plan they were going to go for.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: And I'm thrilled to see they've gone for the least
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: ambitious they could possibly go for.
• 22:56
  Speaker 13: That's right.
• 22:57
  Speaker 12: I thought I'd better come back today and you know,
• 22:59
  Speaker 12: just finish this story off and tell you the result.
• 23:02
  Speaker 12: And you're quite right. So they have decided that they
• 23:05
  Speaker 12: will seek feedback on both scenario A and Scenario B,
• 23:11
  Speaker 12: so just refresh. Scenario A is more closely aligned with
• 23:15
  Speaker 12: the current unitary plan. Scenario B, which is the one
• 23:18
  Speaker 12: that everyone you know probably picked and this particularly you franchised, Yeah,
• 23:23
  Speaker 12: you're up for it, would see intensification around areas with
• 23:25
  Speaker 12: more public transports. So what will happen now is that
• 23:29
  Speaker 12: it's going to go to EREWE and local boards for
• 23:30
  Speaker 12: input public consultation later in the year. So I'm sure
• 23:34
  Speaker 12: everyone's going to have.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: The essay nor no rush on that, but no, no,
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: you know this very well.
• 23:43
  Speaker 12: You've done well, I suppose of research.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: The nice thing is that when I do live in
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: an area that has a transport hub, I completely understand
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: and I accept that that that's going to change, and
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: I'm like, bring it on, just do it nicely. I'm
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: happy for it to happen, like it'd be done with
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: some thought. We don't just whack up some kind of
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: buildings here and there. So I have been following it,
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: but actually I suppose the good news for a lot
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: of Aucklanders is that they won't have to worry at all.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: It's going to effect a very small amount. Yes, okay,
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: that's right.
• 24:14
  Speaker 12: Are we going to true believers on that? We're true
• 24:16
  Speaker 12: believers on that.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: Have you done the weather?
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: No?
• 24:18
  Speaker 13: I haven't.
• 24:20
  Speaker 15: Fine.
• 24:21
  Speaker 13: Isn't it lovely?
• 24:22
  Speaker 12: Fine? Southerlyes. I know it's a little bit cool. It's
• 24:25
  Speaker 12: currently six degrees, but you know during the day it's
• 24:28
  Speaker 12: lovely and we're going for a high today fifteen degrees
• 24:30
  Speaker 12: sounds excellent.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: Thank you so much, Neva. We're going to head to
• 24:34

  Speaker 3: Joining me now is Gavin Gray.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Hi the Franchaska.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: What is the latest on this knife attack in Belfast?
• 25:54
  Speaker 16: Yes, pretty gruesome. I'm afraid The man I believed to
• 25:57
  Speaker 16: be Soudanese, has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.
• 26:01
  Speaker 16: It was described as a brutal knife attack in Belfast,
• 26:04
  Speaker 16: Northern Ireland. Some reports, however, suggest the man in his
• 26:08
  Speaker 16: thirties tried to behead his victim on the street. Now
• 26:12
  Speaker 16: he remains in custody. Police are not seeking anyone else
• 26:15
  Speaker 16: in relation to the incident, and they say they've recovered
• 26:18
  Speaker 16: a kitchen knife. They're not seeking anyone else, as I said,
• 26:21
  Speaker 16: in connection with this incident. Now, the man injured in
• 26:24
  Speaker 16: the attack is said to be aged in his forties.
• 26:27
  Speaker 16: He's still obviously in hospital. He's described as being in
• 26:30
  Speaker 16: a serious condition and has a very nasty serious slash
• 26:34
  Speaker 16: wounds to his back and face and eye injuries as well.
• 26:38
  Speaker 16: So what do we know about the alleged attacker, the
• 26:40
  Speaker 16: main suspect where the home officers said the attacker was
• 26:43
  Speaker 16: on leave to remain in the UK until twenty twenty eight.
• 26:46
  Speaker 16: He entered the UK in twenty twenty three, was granted
• 26:49
  Speaker 16: refugee status and it looks like that he may effectively
• 26:54
  Speaker 16: have got to Dublin from Paris and then caught a
• 26:58
  Speaker 16: bus from Dublin into Northern Ireland. That has not yet
• 27:01
  Speaker 16: been repeated or confirmed rather, but at this stage police
• 27:05
  Speaker 16: is saying there is nothing to suggest it's a terrorist
• 27:07
  Speaker 16: related incident. Social media buzzing, as you can imagine, Francesca.
• 27:11
  Speaker 16: Plenty of people calling people out on the streets to protest,
• 27:14
  Speaker 16: and campaigners and officers and police are all saying calm down,
• 27:19
  Speaker 16: please do not gather to protest tonight.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: And just quickly given what is that with Karam Khan,
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: the International Criminal Courts Chief Prosecutor.
• 27:28
  Speaker 16: Well, he's been suspended with immediate effect. An investigation into
• 27:32
  Speaker 16: alleged misconduct is going to take place. The decision has
• 27:36
  Speaker 16: been made by the ICC's management oversight. Boddy Khn's repeatedly
• 27:41
  Speaker 16: denied all allegations of sexual misconduct. He's a prominent British
• 27:45
  Speaker 16: lawyer and has gone on voluntary leave to fight these allegations.
• 27:49
  Speaker 16: You may remember that the United States impost sanctions on
• 27:52
  Speaker 16: him after he sought a rest warrants for Israeli Prime
• 27:55
  Speaker 16: Minister Binya Mignette Nahou over alleged war crimes in Gaza.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: Thank you so much, Gavin. Nice to catch up with you.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: News talk zby Okay.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: The government's backing down on a levy to pay for
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: its proposed gas terminal. They want the big power companies
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: to pay for it. Only problem is how Mike Casey
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: is the rewiring altro CEO and he joins me. Now,
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: thanks for your time this morning, Mike, more than a
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: fran good to be on. How do you think power
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: companies will respond to the news that they're responsible for
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: building the terminal?
• 28:26
  Speaker 15: Well, I think this is a good move by the
• 28:28
  Speaker 15: government because ultimately we need to figure out ways of
• 28:31
  Speaker 15: covering this dry year risk that exists in our economy.
• 28:35
  Speaker 15: And the stick that the government's put up saying hey, look,
• 28:38
  Speaker 15: you guys, you're going to have to figure out how
• 28:39
  Speaker 15: to build this stuff. You're going to have to figure
• 28:41
  Speaker 15: out how to cover this or we're going to find
• 28:43
  Speaker 15: you I think is a really good move in the
• 28:44
  Speaker 15: right direction. That being said, it is really interesting now
• 28:49
  Speaker 15: because with the sheer amounts of renewables rolled out that's happening,
• 28:52
  Speaker 15: and including soul of it's now going on rooftops, the
• 28:55
  Speaker 15: risk of dry year is just diminishing so fast that
• 28:59
  Speaker 15: I'm a firm believer that we just don't need LNG.
• 29:01
  Speaker 15: It's just an absolute overkill. So it's going to be interesting.
• 29:04
  Speaker 15: It's kind of like yesterday's announcement was kind of a
• 29:07
  Speaker 15: really really good bad announcement in my opinion.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: Do you think it'll get built, Mike?
• 29:13
  Speaker 15: I sincerely hope not, because I think that billion dollars
• 29:16
  Speaker 15: or north of a billion dollars has got to come
• 29:17
  Speaker 15: from somewhere. I'm really happy it's not being levied on
• 29:20
  Speaker 15: people's power bills. But the answer is, where is that
• 29:23
  Speaker 15: money ultimately going to come from. Is it going to
• 29:25
  Speaker 15: come from taxpayers bills instead, which essentially we're all our
• 29:28
  Speaker 15: interest to users and we're all taxpayers, so it's the
• 29:30
  Speaker 15: same outcome, or is it going to come from industry?
• 29:33
  Speaker 15: And one of the things that I think is missing
• 29:35
  Speaker 15: from this in a big way is the fact that
• 29:37
  Speaker 15: we're running out of gas in this country. We have
• 29:39
  Speaker 15: to figure out how to get our industry that supports
• 29:41
  Speaker 15: about two hundred and fifty thousand jobs off gas. And
• 29:45
  Speaker 15: that is something that I think is just so paramount
• 29:48
  Speaker 15: that we have to figure out how to do. And so, yeah,
• 29:50
  Speaker 15: that's what we're big on at the moment. Is now
• 29:53
  Speaker 15: supporting the government to do that.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: You mentioned taxpayers there in industry. Do you think it
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: could potentially creep the costs could be passed on quiet
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: lead to consumers through our power building.
• 30:02
  Speaker 15: I mean, at the end of the day, if we
• 30:03
  Speaker 15: build this L and G terminal and it is the
• 30:05
  Speaker 15: gentailors that are forced to pay for it, then absolutely
• 30:08
  Speaker 15: it is. But I think the answer here is is
• 30:11
  Speaker 15: it looks like the gent tailors might.
• 30:12
  Speaker 10: Not be forced to pay for it.
• 30:14
  Speaker 15: And if they're not forced to pay for it, then
• 30:15
  Speaker 15: that is a great outcome for it for power users
• 30:19
  Speaker 15: in New Zealand. But where does that money come from?
• 30:22
  Speaker 15: And I think that's the one thing that's just a
• 30:23
  Speaker 15: question that has been left completely unanswered in yesterday's announcement.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: Okay, so do you buy the argument that if we
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: alleviate the risk for a dry year, it means that
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: we've got lower forward pricing so consumers won't be landed.
• 30:36
  Speaker 10: With it potentially.
• 30:38
  Speaker 15: But I think we're alleviating the risk already, which is
• 30:41
  Speaker 15: really really exciting. The amount of wind and solar and
• 30:44
  Speaker 15: geothermal that is being built now or is in the pipeline,
• 30:47
  Speaker 15: and solar on farms and on residential households is just
• 30:51
  Speaker 15: really accelerating. One thing that we know, for example, is
• 30:53
  Speaker 15: that in a dry year you get about eleven percent
• 30:56
  Speaker 15: more yield from solar systems. So the more that we
• 30:59
  Speaker 15: generate in winter from other renewable sources, the longer we
• 31:03
  Speaker 15: can hold on to our water flour. The longer we
• 31:05
  Speaker 15: hold on to our water flour, the less risk there
• 31:08
  Speaker 15: is for a dry air. And so rather than backing
• 31:11
  Speaker 15: it up right at the end, we're all about, well,
• 31:13
  Speaker 15: let's just accelerate this renewables all out, which is in
• 31:15
  Speaker 15: the best interest of our economy, and solve the problem
• 31:17
  Speaker 15: that way.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: That was going to be my question. Will there be
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: enough renewables online to replace this terminal in the job?
• 31:25
  Speaker 8: Yes?
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: I do.
• 31:26
  Speaker 15: Yes, I think many many people, including myself, believe that
• 31:29
  Speaker 15: that is now the case. The thing is, though, is
• 31:32
  Speaker 15: though I'm not the energy minister who has really really
• 31:34
  Speaker 15: high blood pressure when those lake levels start to get
• 31:36
  Speaker 15: a little bit low. And so we need to also
• 31:39
  Speaker 15: look at Okay, well, if they're adamant honor what they
• 31:42
  Speaker 15: call an insurance policy, what is the best insurance policy?
• 31:46
  Speaker 15: Is it spending north of a billion dollars on an
• 31:48
  Speaker 15: LERG terminal to import more foreign energy from overseas at
• 31:53
  Speaker 15: high prices. We do it with foreign energy that we
• 31:56
  Speaker 15: already import. So we have the big giant mountain of Huntley.
• 32:01
  Speaker 15: And one thing that I'm really big on is if
• 32:02
  Speaker 15: we have to have this insurance policy, we're already investing
• 32:05
  Speaker 15: in more diesel storage. It's not very expensive to change
• 32:09
  Speaker 15: gas power plants over to also run on diesel. And
• 32:13
  Speaker 15: maybe if we're we're going to hold on to more
• 32:15
  Speaker 15: diesel in New Zealand, why don't we use that as
• 32:18
  Speaker 15: an option to bridge that dry year gap? Should it happen?
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: Mike, really nice to talk to you. Enjoying your time

  Speaker 3: Casey is the rewiring at CEO it is. Can you
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: hear your thoughts on what he had to say?
• 32:37
  Speaker 10: I don't know.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: I think we're all a little bit skeptical as to
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: who's going to pay for this terminal, aren't we? Ninety
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: two to ninety two is the text. It is six
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: to six News.

  Speaker 13: that was harsh. Sorry, they've been away for an hour
• 33:11
  Speaker 13: at least.
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: Okay, So we're going to talk about the LNG terminal
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: because I have come around to the l and G terminal.
• 33:17
  Speaker 13: I hated the idea of this thing.
• 33:19
  Speaker 6: Beforehand and thought it was nutty, and I still don't
• 33:22
  Speaker 6: love it, but I think that it is clearly becoming
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: a necessity.
• 33:25
  Speaker 13: Like I think sometimes you just have to do things
• 33:28
  Speaker 13: you don't love.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: Are you confident though, that the consumer won't have to
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: pay for it?
• 33:31
  Speaker 13: Of course we're paying. Of course we're paying.
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: No, I love this, They go, oh, now, it won't
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: be And they're just not calling it a levey yet
• 33:38
  Speaker 6: it is essentially going to.
• 33:39
  Speaker 13: Act the same as a level.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: It's still still handing it to the gentailors and saying
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: you deal with it, so do what you like.
• 33:43
  Speaker 13: We're gonna have to pay for ye, we're gonna have Hey.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: What's the news on Ben Stokes?
• 33:47
  Speaker 13: So Ben Stokes.
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: The reporting coming out of the UK suggests that Ben
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: Stokes is considering giving up the captaincy of the English
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: Test squad because of the boozing out on the town,
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: which I think is an indic like he's either going
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: to give it up or he's going to be stripped
• 33:59
  Speaker 6: of it. Right here's his crime is significant enough for that.
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: So that's that's it. That's okay.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: Look at you. You're done with boy, You're done with
