  Speaker 3: Donald Tomato out of Australia and correspondence from Ride Around

  Speaker 3: New Zealand and News as it breaks and you can
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: have your say on the text. Ninety two ninety two
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: is the number.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: The agenda.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: So it's Tuesday, the twenty eighth of July. Wildfires are
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: still tearing through Europe.
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: I've never seen a fire discintence before, and not once
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: so close to where I live.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: I've seen major fires, but on televisions. Hundreds of thousands
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: have been evacuated in France and Spain. French President Emmanuel
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: Macron is holding or has held an emergency cabinet meeting,
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: and here is the local mayor of Les Capelaire in France.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: The respite is only temporary, he argues. Weather conditions over
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: the coming hours are unfavorable, so the fire could flare
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: up again.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: So Zelenski has been in the United Kingdom. He's me
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: meeting with the new King of the Northern upm Andy Burnham,
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: and Burnham's reaffirmed Britain's backing for Ukraine, with Downing Street
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: saying the partnership remains as strong as ever.
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: That was a big item of discussion today, the whole
• 1:42
  Speaker 6: question of anti ballistic missiles and the supply of them
• 1:46
  Speaker 6: to Ukraine, particularly in terms of Ukraine protecting critical national
• 1:51
  Speaker 6: infrastructure during the winters that can be very harsh in Ukraine.
• 1:55
  Speaker 6: So we talked at length about that issue. We've taken
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: away some things that we will now follow up with
• 2:01
  Speaker 6: our partners.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: And finally, we have some sad news for Carlie Simon fans.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: She's not dead, but she has revealed she's been diagnosed
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: with Parkinson's. She's eighty three years old. She says she's
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: now letting to live with the disease, and she's described
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: the fight as unpredictable.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: The News you Need this morning and the in depth
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Analysis early edition with Andrew Dickens and Spark for Business
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Technology that keeps Business Moving News Talks.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: B nine after five with the wildfires in Europe. Can't
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: just say. My boy is in Sterling in Scotland right
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: now and a bit of a tour and he reported
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: to me yesterday that they've got wildfires in Scotland right now,
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: so it's everywhere now. I was reading an international story
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: yesterday where international investors are asking where Japan's prime minister
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: find four trillion dollars of extra cash that she wants
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: to invest in seventeen industrial sectors by twenty forty. That's right,
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: I said, four trillion New Zealand dollars in catch and
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: such as the scale of spending by the Prime Minister,
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Sinai Takeichi and the coalition government that many in her
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: own party fear she's about to buy up the Japanese economy.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Now they worry that she's going to trigger a Liz
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Trust style economic shock, and nerves are jangling in financial
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: markets as well, where investors are st done by the
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: plans of this usually sober Japanese government to rewrite previous
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: budget rules and embark on these wide ranging and unfunded
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Can I say shopping spree. It's a hell of a punt.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: But then again, Japan has been stuck in stagflation ever
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: since the financial crisis of the nineties, so something had
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: to be done. And I thought about us while I
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: was reading this. Ever since the COVID level spend up,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: government spending has been a dirty wind in this country's politics,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: and that is true when it's wasteful or ineffective, but
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: that's not to say that government spending per se is
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: all bad. In New Zealand, government activity makes up thirty
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: percent of the economy, and we've found that when government
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: spending dries up, there can be a hell of a
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: conniption running right through the entire nation and its economy.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: So anyway, I was thinking, we're heading towards an election,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: and now being thrown at us are all sorts of
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: government spending ideas left, right and center, and so it's
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: our job to keep an eye out for the wasteful ideas,
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: the ideas that won't work. But then again, I also
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: think we shouldn't be afraid of plans that could do
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: us out, you know, some good in the long run.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Whether Japan's got it right, I don't know. We'll wait
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: and see. It's eleven minutes after five.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: News Talk said, be you may remember.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: From the nine to eleven and the firefighters there who
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: were so brave and ran into the building that many
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: of them suffer from terrible, terrible diseases after the fact,
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: coming out ten twenty f years later. So fires can
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: cause cancer, but at the moment, if you're a firefighter
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: in New Zealand, you have to prove the exact fire
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: that can give you this cancer. The Greens want a
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: change to this. They want automatic acc cover. We'll explain
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: it next here on News Talks Here be it is
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: now twelve after.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Five the Early Edition Full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: by News Talks at B the first word on the
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: News of the Day Early Edition with Andrew Dickens and
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Spark for business technology that keeps business moving. News Talks
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: it B.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: It's five fourteen. So the Greens want firefighters to have
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: automatic acc cover where they get cancer from inhaling carcinogens.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: So they put a member's bill in the tym, and
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: the Firefighters Union says they'll keep fighting it until it
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: becomes law. Watty Watson is the National Secretary of the
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: Professional Firefighters Union and joins me. Now, Hello, Whatti, good morning.
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: Sorry I've got a cold this morning, so not a
• 5:58
  Speaker 7: great voice for your listeners.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: That's okay. So at the moment, what happens if a
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: firefighter gets a bit of cancer and wants some a suses.
• 6:06
  Speaker 7: Yeah, what happens now is a long drawn process. The
• 6:10
  Speaker 7: firefighter has to do research, try and document the types
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: of fires that they've attended, the numbers of fires that
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: have attended, when they undertook training, et cetera, to try
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: and demonstrate when they were exposed to the carthogens. Normally
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: those cases are rejected and so then we have to
• 6:30
  Speaker 7: go through a review and sometimes an appeal process.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Why are they rejected?
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: Oh I see see or finds reject it. It just
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: seems to be the issue. And ser a firefighters Union,
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: which is fully funded by a membership, we spend a
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: lot of money fighting those and most of the time,
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: at the end of a legal process, we do get covered.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Firefighters learned from this as time has gone on, and
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: do they keep a log of every fire and every
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: possible carstroogenic event.
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: No, and it's not actually necessary. What the research shows
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: us is that it's accumulation of exposures. Firefighters can never
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: be fully protected because the uniform that they wear when
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: they're fighting fires, that yellow uniform that everyone sees, has
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: to be able to breathe, otherwise they would die from
• 7:20
  Speaker 7: metabolic heat build up, and so they absorb it through
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: the smoke, through the skin and then it's just accumulation
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: of that the general results in the cancer.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: So how common is it for a firefighter to develop cancer?
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Does it exceed normal levels?
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: Well?
• 7:36
  Speaker 7: Absolutely, depending on the cancer. There's a huge amount of
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: research around the world and studies into it's one of
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: the most studied occupations for occupation cancer. Sometimes it's five
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: to ten, even one hundred times more than the general
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: population to get the particular canse.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Okay, So this proposal is in the ten If parties
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: get on board, this could get through the House before
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: the election. And however, you don't think they're going to
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: get support. You're not going to get support. Why do
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: you think that Oh no, I do think good support.
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: We're going to work hard to get that support. We're
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: calling on all parties to put their politicing aside, the
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: partisan politics aside.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: I don't know why anyone.
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: Would not support the spill. The Australians that have it
• 8:19
  Speaker 7: every where, The Canadians have very similar the Americans. It's
• 8:23
  Speaker 7: just gone through a more way. It's only for New
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: Zealand firefighters have that access to.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Well, Waddy, look after yourself, get well, have some lemon,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: honey and ginger. And thank you so much for your time,
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Wattie Watson, who is the New Zealand Professional Fire Union's
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: National secretary. By the way, these guys have been fighting
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: this for fifteen years and they say they'll never give up.
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Look, I was really surprised this morning to come into
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: work and find out that TikTok, which of course I'm
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: not on. Of course I'm not of the age, am I.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: TikTok is apparently helping boost New Zealand's DDP and I
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: thought they were just a foreign owned firm owned by
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: China who were stealing all their money, all their advertise
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: and repatriating it back to China. But apparently they do good,
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: and we'll talk more about this.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Next The Early Edition Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered

  Speaker 1: by News talks ITV. Get ahead of the headlines on
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Early Edition with Andrew Dickets and Spark for Business technology
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: that keeps business moving News talks it B.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: We're talking to Donnad Tomayo in about half an hour's
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: time about an appeals court which has ruled that Pauline
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Hansen racially discriminated against another senator. But hey, guess what
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Australia is having the same debate as us. The nation's
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: sprawling suburbs of single story homes would be transformed under
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: a plan that's just come out from the Productivity Commission.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: They want to make the property market affordable by putting
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: three story developments everywhere at high rise apartment blocks built
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: near train, tram and bus stations. Sound familiar. Five twenty
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: so TikTok advertising apparently is boosting New Zealand's GDP by
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: one point two billion dollars. The report came initial from well,
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: of course, TikTok, but it's being supported by the guys
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: at Informetrics and brad Olsoen and they say advertising on
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: this social media platform is now an integral part of
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: New Zealand business and Lawrence Kerry is the founder of
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: local TikTok advertising agents Squid Group and joins me. Now,
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: hello Lawrence, Hey, how are you going good? How big
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: is TikTok in New Zealand?
• 10:22
  Speaker 8: TikTok's definitely are major platform now across both organic and paid.
• 10:28
  Speaker 8: But yeah, I definitely say it's integral to a lot
• 10:32
  Speaker 8: of businesses now and the main strategies that they kind
• 10:35
  Speaker 8: of want to grow with.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: What surprised me three hundred and nine thousand key week
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: businesses using the platform each month to promote themselves, connect
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: with customers and support their livelihoods. That's a lot of companies.
• 10:48
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and I think some businesses, like anythink they choose
• 10:52
  Speaker 8: different strategies to kind of grow. And if you do
• 10:55
  Speaker 8: it right on TikTok you can do a lot with
• 10:59
  Speaker 8: just are actually.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: Doing any paid media. But also.
• 11:04
  Speaker 8: It's an easy way into social media if you're just
• 11:07
  Speaker 8: producing lots and lots of content.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: Yes, the warehouse has done it and they'd been a
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: great success. So tell me how do you make a
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: success of TikTok advertising. This feels a little bit like
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: the Turkey praying for Christmas, because I'd rather you actually
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: did some hand some radio. But there we go. How
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: do you make a success out of TikTok advertising?
• 11:23
  Speaker 8: I think the main thing is not just rehashing the
• 11:28
  Speaker 8: same content you use on every other platform. So, like
• 11:32
  Speaker 8: any sort of advertising, you have to be specific around
• 11:35
  Speaker 8: how you're advertising. So when advertising on TikTok, you need
• 11:39
  Speaker 8: to make sure that you advertise how the people using
• 11:42
  Speaker 8: the platform want to see the platform. So if you're
• 11:45
  Speaker 8: advertising on Facebook, for example, you produce certain types of content,
• 11:50
  Speaker 8: but for TikTok, it's a very specific style and quantity
• 11:54
  Speaker 8: of content that you need to do. And it's all
• 11:56
  Speaker 8: about testing.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: And you're going to shoot yourself in the foot if
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: you basically put a standard TV ad on TikTok, everyone's
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: going to go. You need to have compelling content one
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: hundred percent.
• 12:06
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and there needs to be that same thing exactly
• 12:09
  Speaker 8: like radio and billboards and any other sort of advertising.
• 12:13
  Speaker 8: You kind of need to think about what the hookers
• 12:17
  Speaker 8: tell the story and then keep them engaged. But that
• 12:20
  Speaker 8: is obviously different for every single platform you use.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: So ten thousand jobs and apparently one point two billion
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: dollars worth of money flowing around the economy because of
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: these jobs and they're all using the TikTok. Is this
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: enough of a benefit to make up for the fact
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: that the profits are repatriated overseas.
• 12:39
  Speaker 8: I think there's no doubt that TikTok creates a lot
• 12:42
  Speaker 8: of jobs in New Zealand, whether it's creators agencies like
• 12:46
  Speaker 8: us who are helping businesses all around New Zealand grow.
• 12:50
  Speaker 8: Without the platform, you just don't have the opportunities for
• 12:54
  Speaker 8: certain businesses to reach people. And when you look at hospitality,
• 12:59
  Speaker 8: it's without a doubt one of the easiest ways of
• 13:02
  Speaker 8: people now to research like places to eat and things
• 13:05
  Speaker 8: to do and all of that kind of thing. But
• 13:07
  Speaker 8: then alongside that it's a massive research platform, So people
• 13:12
  Speaker 8: looking at businesses to start how to start a business,
• 13:18
  Speaker 8: you can think about like literally anything that you want
• 13:21
  Speaker 8: to and then I guarantee there'll be a rabbit hole
• 13:25
  Speaker 8: that you can go down on TikTok and it will
• 13:27
  Speaker 8: be able to give you a lot of information. So
• 13:31
  Speaker 8: when you think about research and all that, you can
• 13:33
  Speaker 8: actually obviously advertise that niche quite heavily, okay, and it's
• 13:37
  Speaker 8: really really powerful.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: All I think you for your timelines carry who is
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: from Squid Group and they do a lot of TikTok advertising. No,
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: I don't have the app. You don't have the app.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: We don't understand the app. We're not of the age.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: But apparently, apparently if you're of the age, you're in
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: fascinating figures. Fifty four percent of the people using TikTok
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: are of Maldi, Pacific Island and Asian decay. Most of
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: the people using TikTok are a little bit younger than
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: you and I. But three hundred and nine thousand businesses
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: use it and they supports ten thousand jobs and one
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: point two billion dollars worth of economic activity. They say
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: it's five twenty four. News stalks have been all right
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: the lead story on the newsaut to night. Christopher likes
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: some ruling out working with the Opportunity Party otherwise known
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: as TOP. I don't see how a four percent party
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: deserves to be the lead story. But here we are now.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: There was some speculation that Chris Luxton's decision was made
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: on the fly. It might not have been fully thought out.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: He didn't seem so certain about himself as he walked
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: away from the press cameras, or at least that's Kreen
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: mcinnoltics perception of it. But how do I feel It
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: is no surprise that the National Party don't want to
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: get into bed with Top because Top is not a
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: natural bedfellow of the right. But there's a perception about
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: that somehow they're what they call teals, a blue green
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: center party. They are certainly not that. Actually, if you
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: look at them, and I wonder how many people have
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: actually looked at them before saying, oh, I like to
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: vote for them. If you look at them, their policies
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: are quite radical. They're into the universal benefit, they're into
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: land taxes. And remember National as a party that has
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: simplified their stance down to no spending and no taxes
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: and benefit control. So the universal benefit and land taxes
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: are going to give them the jips. And behind the
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: scenes Top has some interesting staff. They've got names like
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: Ian Lee's Galloway, remember him, Labor Prime ministery union guy.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: He is the general manager. His business partner is Tony
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: Grace Chris Hipkins partner. Their number three candidate is Kyler
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: kingdom Bed who was one of the authors of the
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: hyper Poor Report that the Right hate so much. She,
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: in turn has worked with James Show, the ousted leader
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: from the Green Party. They work together at the Worldwide
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: Fund for Nature. Many speculate it's a left wing party
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: in disguise, and I don't disagree. So maybe Christopher Luxen
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: was right to follow his gut. But at the same time,
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: this statement by Christopher Luxon validates the chances of a
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: party who frankly, have never cracked the threshold and are
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: only commanding attention right now because they're new and they're
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: not part of the old elite, and they're trending upwards
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: and people are sick and tired of the old tried
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: and true because the old triede and true hasn't turned
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: out to be very true for them. But personally, I
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: wouldn't give them the time of day. They've got a
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: long way to go before they approve. Let me say
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: this again, They've got a long way to go before
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: they prove they're here for the long haul and that
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: they really have something to offer. So can't the farm
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: news talk said be five twenty eight. Couple of sad
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: losses today. I talk more about that after the news.
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Our first text through for the firefighters, Come on, acc
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: don't be tosses. It does seem a little unfair, doesn't
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: it that they turned them down? But ACC has no
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: money and they're in the process that they're in the
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: business of turning people down if they can. And when
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: I asked the question, do you keep a log of
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: all the fires who've been to that possibly are carcinogenic,
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: they said no. If you've been fighting this for fifteen years,
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: you might want to have said to your members of
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: your union, keep a log of everything, because you might
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: need it a bit later on so you can actually
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: say the date. But certainly, if you've suffered from a
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: bit of cancer that you know you've got from a fire,
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: and suddenly ACC is saying prove it, it might help
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: if you could prove it. Anwo The text says Andrew,
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: I'm a listener and I have TikTok. Don't assume we're
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: all boomers here. I don't not have TikTok because of
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: an age, which I did to say before. I just
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: find it boring, to be honest with you. I've got
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: enough social media campening with the Facebook and the Instagram
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: and the Lincoln. I mean, how much social media do
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: you need? Don to Mayo on the way and our
• 17:39

• 18:21
  Speaker 3: whack jobs that are the Opportunities Party. It's all a front.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: They are the looney Greens, but with their shouting and
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: no terrorist scarves. Good on Chris Luxon for saying no,
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: and somebody else says yes. Top is parading as a
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: centrist party, which is a lie. If the public are
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: dumb enough to believe it, you don't think they have
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: a chance. But they are nearly at five percent. So
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: a good call by Christopher Loxon. All right, So a

  Speaker 3: then from the same mode as batty Old Jim Hopkins,
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: the man with the big red glasses, the man who
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: popularized Bonker's university style debating on our screens and radios.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: Used to write for the soap Close to Home, which
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: for the young is like shortened Street, but it was
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: close to home and it was down in Wellington and Avalon. Anyway.

  Speaker 3: He had a science show in the eighties called Fast Forward.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: He was a talkback host at Radio Avon and Radio

  Speaker 3: Pacific and he used to do bits with me here

  Speaker 3: out of it as well. And lately he's been a
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: faithful servant of the White Tucky District Council, tied on
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: financial accountability and affordability. He's well loved. He was a

  Speaker 3: New Zealand's nice and funny guys News talk zebby around

• 20:32
  Speaker 3: About three hundred jobs to go.
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: A spokesperson says the coffee products will stay on the
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: shelves until stocks run out. The company says it's focused
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: on supporting staff through the transition and no decision yet
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: made on the future of the Dunedin site.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: Wow never a fan of Greg's. But at the same time,
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: whenever I taste it, it reminds me of my days
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: as a shop assistant at Hugh Writes when I was seventeen.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: But that's another story. What Otago's weather today.
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: Callum mostly fine, high cloud develops this afternoon, light winds
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: Dunedin's high fifteen today.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: Two Christians we go quest sure were good morning to you?
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: Good morning.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: So what's happened with Chrastier's City Council's office.
• 21:08
  Speaker 9: Yeah, this started last year when engineers found some seismic
• 21:11
  Speaker 9: issues in the annex that joins onto the building. It's
• 21:14
  Speaker 9: a six story annex out the front of the building,
• 21:17
  Speaker 9: and that forced council meetings and staff to have to relocate.
• 21:21
  Speaker 9: Now council staff are being told or more council staff
• 21:24
  Speaker 9: are being told they need to work from home because
• 21:26
  Speaker 9: some earthquake strengthening work needs to ramp up at the
• 21:28
  Speaker 9: building and is likely to continue into next year. Upgrades
• 21:32
  Speaker 9: to this concrete facade, which is on Hereford Street, have
• 21:35
  Speaker 9: been brought forward to next month because they're so close
• 21:38
  Speaker 9: to the building's fire exits. Amazing they didn't know that
• 21:41
  Speaker 9: till now. Interim Chief Executive bid Karen says a fewer
• 21:44
  Speaker 9: staff will be in the building during this work in
• 21:46
  Speaker 9: order to meet the fire regulations, and the road will
• 21:49
  Speaker 9: be down to one lane while the cranes are on site.
• 21:52
  Speaker 9: He says residents can be assured though there won't be
• 21:54
  Speaker 9: any drop in council services while the work happens.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah right, So how's your weather?
• 22:00
  Speaker 9: Start here clearing to find light ones northeasterlies. The high
• 22:03
  Speaker 9: will be fourteen, all right, and Willington we go next
• 22:05
  Speaker 9: to Good morning to you.
• 22:06
  Speaker 10: Good morning.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: So hospital he owners are having a bit of a meeting.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: What are they talking about?
• 22:11
  Speaker 10: Yeah, dozens of the bar restaurant owners from around the
• 22:14
  Speaker 10: city met yesterday to talk about how to try to
• 22:17
  Speaker 10: save the city's hospital scene. Is saved, may be a
• 22:20
  Speaker 10: bit dramatic, how to boost the city's nightlife, dining, cafe scene.
• 22:24
  Speaker 10: Over one hundred are expected at this thing. Self organized.
• 22:28
  Speaker 10: They want to present a blueprint of sorts to try
• 22:31
  Speaker 10: to persuade the city council to be a bit more
• 22:33
  Speaker 10: business friendly. Justified or not. That's the reputation it has
• 22:36
  Speaker 10: at the moment that it is not very business friendly. Certainly,
• 22:40
  Speaker 10: business rates are relatively high with the rest of the country.
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: It.
• 22:43
  Speaker 10: Courtney Plays Bar owner Greg Wilson says they want to imagine,
• 22:47
  Speaker 10: reimagine what the area could look like after a revamp.
• 22:50
  Speaker 10: Obviously the Golden Mile went too far, so back to
• 22:53
  Speaker 10: the drawing board, says there needs to be a more
• 22:55
  Speaker 10: cohesive plan that brings so called rivals back together a
• 22:59
  Speaker 10: bit to talk about, to talk shop, so to speak.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that would be a good thing too. Can I say?
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: I was down in Wellington just the other week and
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: I went down Cuba Street, which by the way was
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: also voted by The Australian as the funkiest street in Australasia.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: So you've got lots of good stuff there. How's your
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: wear weather?
• 23:14
  Speaker 10: Yeah, certainly parts of Cuba Street that are actually bucking
• 23:16
  Speaker 10: the trend and doing well. Frosty this morning, cold today,
• 23:19
  Speaker 10: fine with norther Lesahi of tan that's.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: Right now my hotel. I went to Fidelito's for breakfast.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: It was all lovely. Now to walk can we go
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: neither A ready man? A good morning this morning. So
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: we've got a new cemetery in about time because we're
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: running out of space.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, quite right, and that's why we've got this new
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: cemetery now it's a rural Auckland site near Kutaka. Auckland
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Council obviously facing growing concerns for some time now. This
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: is about the capacity of South Auckland's existing cemetery network.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: You know obviously the increasing demand for burial space. So
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: what we know now is that the council has brought
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: two properties this is on Linwood Road and Biddick Road
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: for sixteen million dollars in t he Tehihi. That's correct now.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: The purchase this has been made despite objections from local
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Ewie and also the Franklin Local Board. But the collective
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: one hundred hecta is now that's going to be developed
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: in a multi stage project planning starting later this year.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: It's a long way out of town. And this is
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: the problem. We never made space in the first place.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: London back in the nineteen hundreds made a whole lot
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: seven new graveyards all over their town because they realized
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: they were growing. We're building more houses, but we don't
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: realize that the people who own the houses eventually the
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: house for the eternity. There we go house.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: The weather fine like wins Aucklands high today thirteen degrees.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: And I thank you now still to come. There is
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: a new report out about our water. Remember the government
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: came in and said we're going to have regular reporting
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: about the state of the water so we know exactly
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: where we're at. We've got a new water authority as well.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: They've got their first national report out and to be frank,
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: it's not good reading. To be fair, we've been atrocious
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: as looking after our water for decades now, decades and
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: decades and the cost has come home to roost. We'll
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: have details for that on that a bit later on
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: with the what in New Zealand chief executive whose job
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: it is to rustle this into shape. But next we've
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: got Donald to Mayo with the most Australian headline ever.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: A man has been found guilty of trying to smuggle
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: lizards across state borders. It's next here on News Talks.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Herebek International correspondence with ends and eye Insurance, Peace of
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: Business fourteen to sex, Donald Maayo, who joins it out
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: of Australia. Donna, Hello, oh, hello to you. So Pauline
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: Hanson has been found guilty of racial discrimination.
• 25:34
  Speaker 11: Well she lost that appeal. She was up against a
• 25:38
  Speaker 11: court ruling that found she'd racially discriminated against Green Senator
• 25:42
  Speaker 11: Marine Ferruki. Now, Senator Ferruki took into Hanson to court
• 25:46
  Speaker 11: over this post on Twitter which is now x as
• 25:49
  Speaker 11: we know, and the comment was made on September twenty
• 25:52
  Speaker 11: twenty two. Now that's the day the queen died. Now,
• 25:56
  Speaker 11: Originally Senator Ferruki's post said that she cannot mourn the
• 25:59
  Speaker 11: leader of a race empire built on stolen lives, land
• 26:03
  Speaker 11: and wealth of colonized people. Well, Senator Hans's response was
• 26:08
  Speaker 11: to tell Senator Ferruki, rac yourselves here to pack her
• 26:12
  Speaker 11: bags and I hope I can say this pisce off
• 26:15
  Speaker 11: back to Pakistan. So she did not like that, so
• 26:19
  Speaker 11: she took her to court. Now, Senata Hanson's lawyers had
• 26:21
  Speaker 11: argued she had not breached a section of the Racial
• 26:24
  Speaker 11: Discrimination Act because it was protected by the Constitution. But
• 26:28
  Speaker 11: yesterday all three Federal Court Appeal Court judges described the
• 26:31
  Speaker 11: original ruling as sound and that the tweet targeted immigrants,
• 26:34
  Speaker 11: people of color, and Muslims. And Senator Ferruki says that
• 26:39
  Speaker 11: justice has prevailed and the win is for every single
• 26:42
  Speaker 11: person who's been told to go back where they came
• 26:45
  Speaker 11: from and who's been made to feel that they're belonging
• 26:47
  Speaker 11: to this country is conditional and it confirms as far
• 26:51
  Speaker 11: as she is concerned that Pauline Hansen did behave in racism,
• 26:54
  Speaker 11: is Lamophobia and hate and that she says that court
• 26:59
  Speaker 11: action was necessary as as she puts at Hay, speech
• 27:03
  Speaker 11: is being normalized in Australia. Now Senator Hansen has responded.
• 27:06
  Speaker 11: She says she's disappointed with the ruling and she has
• 27:09
  Speaker 11: flagged that there will be a potential High Court appeal.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: So this is not over by anymore. I feel like
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: both women need to realize there's a time and a
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: place in a tone, and certainly the death of the
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: Queen was not the place or the time or the
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: tone at all. But there we have it now. I said,
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: this is the most Australian headline ever. A man has
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: been found guilty of trying to smuggle lizards across the border.
• 27:30
  Speaker 11: Yes, yes, this twenty eight year old thought he was clever,
• 27:34
  Speaker 11: but the Fed's got him. So he's been fined about
• 27:37
  Speaker 11: thirty thousand dollars or so. He tried to smuggle these
• 27:40
  Speaker 11: reptiles out of Western Australia, but he killed almost all
• 27:43
  Speaker 11: of the animals, so sad so he was found to
• 27:46
  Speaker 11: have exposed these reptiles to cruel and inhumane treatment. Four
• 27:51
  Speaker 11: of the animals died. A further fifty one had to
• 27:54
  Speaker 11: be euthanized. He was sending parcels from Perth Airport and
• 27:59
  Speaker 11: these animals were in everything from bobtail lizards or Nate
• 28:03
  Speaker 11: crevis dragons, thorny devils, the western blue tongue lizards and geckos.
• 28:08
  Speaker 11: And isn't it lovely though that they actually got to
• 28:11
  Speaker 11: save ten of these reptiles who were rehomed, but estimated
• 28:15
  Speaker 11: black market value up to one point three million dollars.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: And the best part of that story is who just
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: told us a whole lot of names of really great
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: named lizards?
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: But there we go.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: No, thank you so much, Dona Tomoryo. It's eleven to
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: six sib all right. The Water Services Authority's very first
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: national report is out. It's pretty grim reading, to be fair.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: On average, there are thirty one wastewater overflows a day.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: Fifteen percent of pipes are in poor shape. There's more
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: trouble ahead. Nearly half of drinking water consents need renewing.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: In the next day, some have already expired, not to
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: mention the fact that pipes and the water are not
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: in good condition. Jillian Blythe is the Water New Zealand
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: Chief executive in charge of monitoring this and telling us
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: of the problems, and joins us out.
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: Jillian, Hello, good morning, Andrew. How are you.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: I'm very well. This is not at all surprising to me,
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: but it's terribly disappointing, isn't it.
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: This report highlights, you know, in black and white, the
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: information that people in the sector have known for a
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: long time that we need to continue to invest in
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: our water infrastructure.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: Okay, so you were formed to monitor it, but also
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: to sound the warnings. Do you feel that we will
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: be investing in our infrastructure the way we haven't for
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: the past thirty years?
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: So just perhaps if I hold you there born in
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: New Zealand. We're in an industry association, so we've got
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: members from across the supply chain, so we're not being
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: formed to monitor it, but we have members who are
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: passionate about working in the water sector and making a
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: difference for everyday New Zealand, every day New Zealanders, every day.
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: So do I think we need to invest? Absolutely? I
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: think one of the things that this report highlights to
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: me is that we've known we've needed to address our
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: wasteborder contents because there's been there's a bow wave of
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: contents requiring renewal in the next decade. But what this
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: is highlighted is that we've got a similar issue in
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: terms of our drinking water consents. Now it's sorry, carry on, Look,
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: it's absolutely vital that we ensure that the source water,
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: which is what's going into those treatment plants to make
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: sure that you and I can drink safe drinking water
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: every day, is protected. And as we are going through
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: that consenting process, we need to make sure that the
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: regulatory environment is going to achieve that because if we
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: end up with some form of contamination in our source water,
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: then that's going to be obviously a lot more expensive
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: to fix than if we would this report.
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: Basically, we have treatment plants that are operating basically on
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: expired consents. They're old, and they've fallen apart and they're
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: still working, but they've got expired consents. So we really
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: need to give a riggerl on, don't we We do.
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: We need to be able to make sure that we
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: are putting the investment in the areas where we need
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: to to fix those plant or those types that are
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: you need our own poor conditions. But we also need
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: to make sure that the reguatory environment is fit for purpose.
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: So obviously with the new Natural Environment and Planning bills
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: that are going through the House at the moment, we
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: need to be we're looking at those, but also looking
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: at whether the instrument, the regulatory instruments, like the National
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: Policy Statement for Infrastructure, whether that works for the water sector.
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: Because if it doesn't, this is the right this is
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: the time to fix it, to make sure that we
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: can get resource contents at work.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: But the other thing, of course, we had three waters
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: proposed for a while, which got shot really because of
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: the co governance. We've got now local Water done Well,
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: which is kind of the same as three waters, though
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: it puts the onus on councils to do it voluntarily.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: Can local Water done well councils getting together and to
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: raise money to actually attack these problems? Can it fix
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: the problems that this report actually highlights.
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: I think one of the important pieces of the Local
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: Water Done Well that is now being you know, is
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: in the process of being implemented we've got six council
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: controlled organizations, with another thirteen being set up by one
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: July next year, and then we'll have twenty in house
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: business units. So all of those, whether you're an in
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: house business unit or a council controlled organization, you have
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: to do a water services strategy. And that is something
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: that's you know, obviously, if you're a CECO, it's going
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: to purely be focused on water. In the old world,
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: if you were part of the council, your the long
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: term plan might have you know, two or three pages
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: on water. So the in house business unit is now
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: going to have to produce its own ten year plan
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: and looking beyond is also up to thirty years in
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: terms of looking at water, and that's really important because
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: if you're focusing on that, you know, on that one thing,
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: on this place, brinking water, waste water and stormwater, you
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: know you are going to you will end up understanding
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: more about your assets and being able to put the
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: money where you need to.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: Absolutely jill your buys from what I do you see them,
• 32:58
