Speaker 1: The agenda.
0:48
Speaker 2: It is Friday, the sixth of August. Hunter Biden's lawyer
0:50
Speaker 2: says he will change his plea to guilty in his
0:53
Speaker 2: federal tax case, could see him avoid a trial and
0:55
Speaker 2: head straight to sentencing, which obviously would be good pr wise.
0:58
Speaker 2: Biden's accused of not paying about two point two million
1:01
Speaker 2: New Zealand dollars in federal tax over four years The
1:03
Speaker 2: indictment says he spent the money on drugs, escorts, girlfriends,
1:07
Speaker 2: luxury hotels, and rental properties. In short, it says everything
1:11
Speaker 2: but his taxes. Job openings in the US have fallen
1:15
Speaker 2: by around two hundred and thirty thousand to a new
1:17
Speaker 2: three and a half year low.
1:18
Speaker 3: The labor market is loosening up for employers million, six

1:30
Speaker 3: hundred and ten thousand on a revised basis.
1:33
Speaker 2: Still awaiting a decision from the Fed on whether they
1:35
Speaker 2: will cut interest rates, which is due later in the month.
1:38
Speaker 2: Broadcaster and psychologist Nigel Latter has revealed he's in a
1:42
Speaker 2: battle with stomach cancer. He's fifty seven years old. He
1:44
Speaker 2: posted on Facebook he's going through chemotherapy. It's working well
1:49
Speaker 2: and the tumor has reduced in size, but initially he
1:52
Speaker 2: was given a diagnosis of six to twelve months.
1:54
Speaker 4: He said, look, it's inoperable because the tumor has spread
1:58
Speaker 4: out kind of too far through the stomach line and
2:00
Speaker 4: it's also incurable.
2:03
Speaker 1: The News you Need this Morning and the in depth
2:05
Speaker 1: Analysis Early edition with Ryan Bridge and Swift City, New
2:10
Speaker 1: Zealand's furniture beds and a plying store.
2:12
Speaker 5: News talks that'd be there.
2:13
Speaker 2: Was a shooting near my house last night. I'll tell
2:15
Speaker 2: you about that soon. The BAYSI and this is the
2:17
Speaker 2: super yacht in Sicily. Our new news overnight on the autopsies.
2:21
Speaker 2: So four of the seven who died died of what
2:24
Speaker 2: they call dry drowning or non typical drowning. Now we
2:28
Speaker 2: might be thinking, what is that. There's no water on
2:31
Speaker 2: the lungs, there's no water in the stomachs. From the autopsies,
2:33
Speaker 2: it suggests that they found an air pocket in the
2:37
Speaker 2: boat as it went down. In the cabin they found
2:39
Speaker 2: an air pocket consumed all the oxygen. The air turns
2:42
Speaker 2: toxic due to the carbon dioxide, and that is how
2:46
Speaker 2: they believed that at least four of the seven who died.
2:49
Speaker 2: There was no physical injuries on any of them, no
2:51
Speaker 2: broken bones, nothing like that. So they we'll have more
2:54
Speaker 2: about that news. I'm sure just gone nine after five,
2:57
Speaker 2: Ryan Bridge last night on the news, and you could
2:59
Speaker 2: even see headline about it this morning. North Korea flies
3:03
Speaker 2: balloon over prime Minister's motorcade. You're like, wow, North Korea
3:08
Speaker 2: has targeted Luxon. He's visiting South Korea at the moment.
3:13
Speaker 2: What an amazing thing.
3:14
Speaker 6: No sooner had our interview finished.
3:16
Speaker 4: Appreciate it, thanks Ben.
3:18
Speaker 6: Then this North Korean trash balloon flew right over the
3:21
Speaker 6: top of his motorcade.
3:23
Speaker 2: So it just happened to be over the top of
3:26
Speaker 2: his motorcade. They weren't targeting Luckson's motorcade. They sent about
3:30
Speaker 2: two hundred balloons over yesterday, apparently because they there's the
3:34
Speaker 2: little tip for tat that they have. One of them
3:36
Speaker 2: plays music, the other scends balloons with trash and feces
3:40
Speaker 2: and all sorts of fun things in it. So anyway,
3:42
Speaker 2: for those who thought that Christopher Luxon had been the
3:45
Speaker 2: target of a balloon flyover by North Korea, it was
3:49
Speaker 2: more circumstance. Just gone ten after five, Ry and Bridge
3:54
Speaker 2: very hard to sort out what's going on in France.
3:56
Speaker 2: I think they're having a bit of a hard time
3:58
Speaker 2: figuring out what's going on in France. You know that
4:02
Speaker 2: they had the election. She was two months ago, which
4:04
Speaker 2: is when I started doing the show, which the first
4:05
Speaker 2: thing we talked about was the French election. Done that.
4:09
Speaker 2: Now Macron has picked his Prime Minister and it is
4:14
Speaker 2: the man they call Monsieur Brexit, Michel Barnier. I'm probably
4:18
Speaker 2: saying it wrong anyway, he's right wing, he's from the
4:20
Speaker 2: Republican Party. So two months after the snap election, finally
4:25
Speaker 2: he picks his guy. And now whether he gets a
4:31
Speaker 2: vote of confidence from MPs from politicians is crucial. So
4:35
Speaker 2: he needs to get the support of enough a majority
4:38
Speaker 2: in order to actually stay in the job, keep the job.
4:42
Speaker 2: And then they've got a budget coming up. He has
4:45
Speaker 2: to have a draft in by the first of October.
4:47
Speaker 2: What a stupid system. So he's got three weeks at
4:51
Speaker 2: most from when he is appointed to when he has
4:55
Speaker 2: to have a draft of his first budget for twenty
4:57
Speaker 2: twenty five. That's going to like it's enough. You know,
5:00
Speaker 2: it's going to be a good enough time to prepare,
5:03
Speaker 2: isn't it. Nine two nine two is the number to text.
5:06
Speaker 2: Just gone eleven minutes after five, we're talking Judith Collins
5:09
Speaker 2: and her plan for our space defense.
5:11
Speaker 5: Next, the First Word on the News of the Day
5:22
Speaker 5: Early edition.
5:23
Speaker 1: With Ryan Bridge and Smith City New Zealand's furniture Beds
5:27
Speaker 1: and a play at store News Talk Zippy.
5:30
Speaker 2: We'll get Vincent mcavinie to give us an update on
5:32
Speaker 2: the French Prime minister, the new French Prime minister who's
5:35
Speaker 2: been appointed overnight. That is coming away just after the
5:38
Speaker 2: news at five thirty thirteen after five Now, New Zealand
5:41
Speaker 2: has accepted an invitation to join the US lead multinational
5:44
Speaker 2: space initiative, Operation Olympic Defender. It's about defense, it's about
5:49
Speaker 2: deterring what they call hostile actions in space. The US,
5:53
Speaker 2: the UK, Canada and Australia all part of the group.
5:55
Speaker 2: Judith Colins says, we'll deploy a defense Force liaison officer
5:58
Speaker 2: to the US Space Command and Colorado for the next
6:01
Speaker 2: two years. Doctor Maria Potza is a lawyer and international
6:04
Speaker 2: space law expert, and she joins me this morning. Good
6:06
Speaker 2: morning to you.
6:08
Speaker 7: What a right how are you?
6:09
Speaker 2: I'm very well, thank you. Tell me how serious the
6:13
Speaker 2: threat is a defense threat from space or in space.
6:17
Speaker 7: Look, there's always threats in space, but those threats tend
6:23
Speaker 7: to be posed mainly by space debris, so as opposed
6:27
Speaker 7: to the hostile nature that you speak of a little
6:30
Speaker 7: bit earlier. Look, we don't have huge threats of that
6:34
Speaker 7: nature to be terribly terribly concerned about. It is though
6:37
Speaker 7: the sustainability and space debris that we're seeing a rise of.
6:42
Speaker 7: That does make us a little bit more concerned when
6:45
Speaker 7: we think about threats because of course, if you've got
6:47
Speaker 7: a lot of space debris in space, then you've got
6:50
Speaker 7: a problem of accessing space. Now, NASA and there's a
6:54
Speaker 7: couple of other organizations around the world do monitor space
6:58
Speaker 7: debris particles, but we need to have clear pathways to
7:01
Speaker 7: space and order to get assets up there for both
7:03
Speaker 7: military purposes, commercial purposes, as well as human exploration. So
7:09
Speaker 7: I'm hoping that that helps a little bit, because that
7:12
Speaker 7: is what so this is focusing on.
7:14
Speaker 2: This is like rubbish collection.
7:17
Speaker 7: Well, hopefully we'll get there soon. But the really important
7:21
Speaker 7: thing about this program and us joining this program is
7:24
Speaker 7: it's not just about safe, responsible, secure use of space.
7:29
Speaker 7: It's about sustainable use of space and resilience of the
7:33
Speaker 7: space structure. So it's much much more than just the
7:37
Speaker 7: one idea.
7:38
Speaker 2: Right, how many pieces of space junk are up there
7:42
Speaker 2: A good question.
7:43
Speaker 7: I have no idea, but there's a lot.
7:45
Speaker 2: So someone told me it was more than more than
7:47
Speaker 2: half a billion pieces. Will that all be from us?
7:51
Speaker 2: Things that we have put up there and that are
7:53
Speaker 2: flying around and how do you how do you go
7:56
Speaker 2: about cleaning up space?
7:58
Speaker 7: All right, look, big, big complex questions. First of all,
8:02
Speaker 7: because we know exactly I haven't had coffee yet, so
8:06
Speaker 7: I'll do my best. Look, I wouldn't know exactly how
8:10
Speaker 7: many pieces of space debrusy there are floating us up there,
8:12
Speaker 7: because we've got something called the Kesler syndrome, and that's
8:15
Speaker 7: whereby you've got one piece of space debris that could
8:19
Speaker 7: collide with another piece of space debrary and cause lots
8:22
Speaker 7: and lots of more space debris, and it becomes really
8:25
Speaker 7: hard to monitor that new space debrary because of course
8:28
Speaker 7: most of our suchllites are pointing out the Earth, so
8:31
Speaker 7: we can make estimations and we can make an estimate
8:35
Speaker 7: of trajectory of that new space debris and what it
8:38
Speaker 7: might be and where it's heading to. But that's why
8:41
Speaker 7: I say, I'm just not sure, because we may have
8:44
Speaker 7: had lots of collision pieces and they may just be
8:46
Speaker 7: floating up all around up there. Now you said about
8:50
Speaker 7: you asked a question about space junk and space debris collection.
8:54
Speaker 7: I know that there's quite a few nations around the
8:57
Speaker 7: world looking at this. We've even got a un Organization Committee,
9:02
Speaker 7: who are looking at the question of and yeah, we
9:05
Speaker 7: are looking at organized you know, how how we com
9:09
Speaker 7: mitigate space. Every don't have a crystal ball, but it's
9:13
Speaker 7: going to happen.
9:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess the thing is, if we can't clean
9:16
Speaker 2: up the ocean, how can we clean up space?
9:18
Speaker 7: These are all good questions, all good questions.
9:21
Speaker 2: So the threat from other countries, you know, the defense three,
9:25
Speaker 2: you're saying that that's not such a serious thing, like
9:27
Speaker 2: people countries aren't trying at the moment to be able
9:30
Speaker 2: to hit Earth from space or can they already.
9:34
Speaker 7: Gosh, again, a lot of good questions there. Whether or
9:38
Speaker 7: not they have the capability to do so. I don't
9:40
Speaker 7: think actually anyone knows. But what I will say is this,
9:44
Speaker 7: our joining the program, the Olympic program, is not necessarily
9:49
Speaker 7: a response to some imminent hostile threat that's happening at
9:54
Speaker 7: the moment. What I'm getting at is our joining this
9:56
Speaker 7: program is a really important step for New Zealand on
10:00
Speaker 7: a range of issues, and Minister Collins has really got
10:05
Speaker 7: us going in the right direction when you think about
10:07
Speaker 7: how we are shirting ourselves on that space stage of
10:10
Speaker 7: the space faring nation.
10:11
Speaker 2: Good to have it good to be at the table
10:13
Speaker 2: as things get underway, doctor Maria Potts, So thank you
10:16
Speaker 2: very much for your time this morning. Really appreciate it.
10:18
Speaker 2: Sorry about the questions lawyer and international space law expert.
10:24
Speaker 2: I don't know because at Russia and China, what are
10:26
Speaker 2: they doing up there? I imagine something, you know, they'll
10:29
Speaker 2: be They'll be eyeing something, and are we worried about that?
10:32
Speaker 2: Do you want to make sure that we're with our
10:33
Speaker 2: five Eyes partners up there making sure, you know, patrolling
10:37
Speaker 2: space not only there with the hoover vacuuming up the
10:41
Speaker 2: debris that we've left up there, but also you know,
10:44
Speaker 2: protecting it. Just gone nineteen minutes after five nine ninety
10:49
Speaker 2: two is the number to text.
10:52
Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines. Ryan Bridge you for twenty
10:56
Speaker 1: twenty four on early edition with Smith City, New Zealand's
10:59
Speaker 1: Foot Your Beds and a Planet Store News Talk, said.
11:02
Speaker 2: Be I can't say I'm not disappointed that the microphones
11:05
Speaker 2: will be off while the other person is talking. This
11:08
Speaker 2: is the US election debate happening next Wednesday afternoon at
11:11
Speaker 2: one pm our time. By the way, in Philadelphia, ABC
11:14
Speaker 2: is in charge of this one, and they were debating
11:17
Speaker 2: back and forth about whether the microphones would be on
11:19
Speaker 2: or whether the microphones would be off. I always like
11:21
Speaker 2: the microphones on because then you can get interactions like
11:25
Speaker 2: this one with Trump and Hillary.
11:26
Speaker 5: It's just awfully good that someone with the temperament of
11:30
Speaker 5: Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in
11:32
Speaker 5: our country.
11:33
Speaker 8: Because you'd be in jail.
11:35
Speaker 7: Secretary Quintin.
11:42
Speaker 1: Brian Bridge.
11:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, so there'll be none of that. It'll be Microsoft
11:46
Speaker 2: while the others talking. Just gone twenty two minutes after five.
11:49
Speaker 2: Is it redemption time for the All Blacks? They lost
11:51
Speaker 2: against the spring Box in South Africa last week. They're
11:54
Speaker 2: playing them again early Sunday morning. Scott Robertson has made
11:57
Speaker 2: some changes to the squad, you could say, including adding
11:59
Speaker 2: the youngest All Black in this year's squad to the
12:02
Speaker 2: starting line up, twenty one year old Wallace to Titi.
12:06
Speaker 2: This will be his second test for the All Blacks.
12:08
Speaker 2: Kevin Partzer, former Springbok and rugby commentator, he's with us
12:11
Speaker 2: this morning. Get Kevin, Good morning, Ryan, good morning. Good
12:14
Speaker 2: to have you on the show again. Tell me is
12:16
Speaker 2: this a bold, brave mood moved from Razor.
12:21
Speaker 9: I think it is, but it's also necessary. They had
12:24
Speaker 9: no impact from their bench last week. I guess they
12:27
Speaker 9: had the option of starting with the same fifteen. But
12:31
Speaker 9: what they've done is they've brought in the person they
12:33
Speaker 9: probably looked for a bit of impact on the bench
12:35
Speaker 9: and they've said, well, here you go, young man, have
12:37
Speaker 9: a go, and they put him wrong right from the start.
12:40
Speaker 2: Some people are saying this is the start of the
12:42
Speaker 2: real start of the Robertson era, where you know he's
12:46
Speaker 2: setting us up for the next World Cup.
12:49
Speaker 9: Oh you know, he's sort of he's got to play
12:52
Speaker 9: that hand. Now South Africa have sort of won the
12:57
Speaker 9: Four Nations competition. Now that opportunity where put away the result.
13:02
Speaker 9: Now he's got to start shaping and get some real
13:04
Speaker 9: value out of this. The good news is he doesn't
13:07
Speaker 9: just need to try and win games to please the public.
13:09
Speaker 9: He now needs to shape a team that's going to
13:11
Speaker 9: be good for the future. And you see a young Rasima,
13:14
Speaker 9: you see tit on the blind side, and people are
13:19
Speaker 9: joking that it might be the bomb disposal units with
13:22
Speaker 9: the likes of Barrett. It's coming from the bench as well,
13:26
Speaker 9: who's an outstanding finisher in any game he's paid previously.
13:30
Speaker 2: What about the veterans, if you can call them that
13:34
Speaker 2: of the squad. What is the message to them.
13:38
Speaker 9: Well, I've got to be honest. I think it's a
13:40
Speaker 9: good message. He's shown you loyalty to have brought back
13:43
Speaker 9: a guy like Caine and kept them in the squad.
13:46
Speaker 9: I thought we were very good last week. That is
13:48
Speaker 9: a very tough place to go and to win, and
13:51
Speaker 9: we found that out. You can't win. But he's also
13:54
Speaker 9: very short of personnel. And that, by the way, that's
13:58
Speaker 9: a New Zealand problem. That's not a Scott Robin some problem.
14:01
Speaker 9: Very short of person now. And what he's done is
14:03
Speaker 9: he's kept the nucleus but said right, we've got to
14:05
Speaker 9: just shape this up for the future a little bit.
14:07
Speaker 9: There's a few changes.
14:09
Speaker 2: Kevin, thank you very much for your time this morning.
14:11
Speaker 2: Go the abs come Sunday morning. That's Kevin Park, former
14:14
Speaker 2: Springbok and rugby commentator. It is twenty four after five
14:17
Speaker 2: News talksb.
14:18
Speaker 1: The early edition full the show podcast on iHeartRadio. How
14:22
Speaker 1: It By News Talks be.
14:24
Speaker 2: An update for you on the police investigation into those
14:28
Speaker 2: meth lollies that were handed out in parcels by the
14:32
Speaker 2: City Mission. This is three weeks ago it happened, and
14:34
Speaker 2: remember in one single lollie there were three hundred doses
14:38
Speaker 2: of methan fetamine. It was pure myth. And the police
14:42
Speaker 2: are calling them not actually lollies, but blocks. That's what
14:44
Speaker 2: they are. They're blocks of pure myth. So we asked
14:47
Speaker 2: them for an update and it's quite interesting what they
14:51
Speaker 2: have come back with. So Operation Tirade is what they
14:54
Speaker 2: call it, and they can account for sixty one blocks,
14:57
Speaker 2: so sixty one lollies of meth that were disguised as
15:01
Speaker 2: Rinda branded confectionery. If they say this includes thirty four
15:06
Speaker 2: blocks that have been recovered by police, does that mean
15:10
Speaker 2: twenty seven blocks or lollies are still at large. If so,
15:14
Speaker 2: that would be about eight thousand doses worth about thirty
15:17
Speaker 2: two thousand dollars on the street. Basically, it means on
15:21
Speaker 2: the face of it, at least they've only recovered half
15:24
Speaker 2: the myth they know about. And then there's the meth
15:28
Speaker 2: blocks that they don't know about. Are they on Facebook marketplace?
15:31
Speaker 2: We saw a report that one of them apparently went
15:33
Speaker 2: up there soon after they were handed out, So we
15:36
Speaker 2: still don't know a couple of things. One where they are,
15:38
Speaker 2: but two who donated them, and why did the person
15:42
Speaker 2: know what they were doing or was it done by accident,
15:44
Speaker 2: and if so, how did the lollies the confectionery get
15:48
Speaker 2: into their hands. The police say that they're talking to
15:51
Speaker 2: the Rinda Company Malaysia. They are being very cooperative by
15:54
Speaker 2: the sounds of it, but at this stage the mystery continues.
15:57
Speaker 2: Twenty eight after five shellicopters hovering above my house or
16:03
Speaker 2: around my house. Last night, there was a shooting. This
16:06
Speaker 2: is near Western Springs Park. You know you might have
16:09
Speaker 2: gone to a concert there and someone was well. A
16:12
Speaker 2: couple of people were shot. They reckoned, multiple injuries and
16:14
Speaker 2: one person died, which is very sad, and family were
16:17
Speaker 2: outside crying and grieving the loss of their loved one.
16:22
Speaker 2: Lots of this lately. It feels like anyway. There was
16:26
Speaker 2: the one granddad in the van in Packardanger just a
16:30
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago who was shot. Still haven't found
16:33
Speaker 2: who did that? Still no idea, I wondered, is it
16:36
Speaker 2: that it's happening more often or are we hearing more
16:40
Speaker 2: about it because we have alerts on our phones and
16:43
Speaker 2: things like that. I guess we'll find out when the
16:45
Speaker 2: stats come out. But in the meantime, it does feel
16:47
Speaker 2: like there's an awful lot of that going on, especially
16:49
Speaker 2: when it's close to home. Twenty nine after five, we're

Speaker 2: going to go to Vincent mcavenni. After the news. We'd
16:55
Speaker 2: also get our round up from our reporters and we're
16:57
Speaker 2: talking about building products making them cheaper. Get this, it's
17:02
Speaker 2: fifty percent more expensive to build a house here in
17:05
Speaker 2: New Zealand and Australia.
17:06
Speaker 10: Wine News and Views you trust to start your day.
17:38
Speaker 1: It's early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New

Speaker 1: Zealand's furniture bids at a flying store. News Talk sid be.
17:58
Speaker 2: Good morning. It is twenty If were away from six
18:00
Speaker 2: year on news Talk said, be welcome to your Friday morning.
18:03
Speaker 2: Hope you're feeling good. Do you know who's feeling good
18:06
Speaker 2: this morning is Elon Musk because Donald Trump is offering

Speaker 2: him a job if he is elected president. He will
18:13
Speaker 2: be in charge of wait for it, drum roll please,
18:16
Speaker 2: has just come out in the last couple of minutes.
18:18
Speaker 2: He will be the head of the Government Efficiency Commission
18:21
Speaker 2: if he is elected. Such as the man crush that
18:25
Speaker 2: Trump has on Musk. Do you know what we're talking
18:27
Speaker 2: about space this morning? As well? Because Judith Collins is
18:30
Speaker 2: signing us up to a bit of a five eyes
18:32
Speaker 2: pat to go and look after out of space. Musk
18:36
Speaker 2: can get the hell out of space as far as
18:38
Speaker 2: I'm concerned. Have you ever looked up at the stars
18:40
Speaker 2: lately and seen the satellites, the Link, the Starlink satellites.
18:45
Speaker 2: It's space junk, It's debris. In my mind, it's cluttering
18:50
Speaker 2: what would be a beautiful natural thing. Elon Musk is
18:53
Speaker 2: up there. You cannot escape this guy, whether it's in
18:56
Speaker 2: the government or whether it's in the skies. Away from me.
19:00
Speaker 2: Elon Musk. Nine two is the number of text has
19:03
Speaker 2: gone twenty two minutes away from six o'clock. Bill Shorten
19:07
Speaker 2: is on his way out, the former Labor Australian Labor leader.
19:10
Speaker 2: Of course, he was came in after Rudds who lost
19:14
Speaker 2: to Abbott, and then he was beaten by Turnbull. He's
19:17
Speaker 2: done a robber of Grant Robertson. He's going to a university,
19:21
Speaker 2: getting a million dollars a year at this university as
19:24
Speaker 2: a pro vice chancellor or whatever they call it. Anyway,
19:26
Speaker 2: they compile a list of his zingers. Some of them
19:29
Speaker 2: are quite good.
19:30
Speaker 11: The government says the term Team Australia a lot. I'm
19:33
Speaker 11: worried about the emergence of Team idiot.
19:35
Speaker 12: Bill Shortens up there in his ill fitting suit, puffing
19:38
Speaker 12: his chepst up and saying we need to thump the table.
19:41
Speaker 11: I think the problem is that Australia's got an ill
19:43
Speaker 11: fitting treasurer for the Prime Minister's addressed this in a
19:45
Speaker 11: press conference in Turkey in the last few hours. I
19:48
Speaker 11: haven't seen what she said, but let me say I support.
19:52
Speaker 2: What it is that she said, but you don't know
19:53
Speaker 2: what that is.
19:55
Speaker 11: I'm sure she's right.
19:56
Speaker 2: Ryan Bridge, Right, we're going to our reporters right around
19:59
Speaker 2: the country. Jordan Done is with us this morning. Good morning, Jordan,
20:02
Speaker 2: good morning, right, how are you good? Thank you. You've
20:04
Speaker 2: got an update on the Otago Regional Council. This is
20:07
Speaker 2: the response to the Minister about land and water plans.
20:10
Speaker 13: That's right, well, theF Otago Regional Council has finalized this response,
20:14
Speaker 13: but it won't be sharing it right away. Earlier this year,
20:17
Speaker 13: Minister Penny Simmons requested information around the plans cost. Federated
20:21
Speaker 13: Farmers Otago suggested the plan would cost more than one
20:24
Speaker 13: hundred and ten million for two towns demanding the draft
20:28
Speaker 13: be made public. Council chairperson Gretchen Robertson says they understand
20:32
Speaker 13: the public interest, but due to the information's nature, it
20:35
Speaker 13: can't be made public yet. CEO Richard Saunders says this
20:39
Speaker 13: is based on legal advice, but there were released as
20:41
Speaker 13: much as they can on the website soon.
20:43
Speaker 2: All right. How's the weather in Dunedin today, Jordan.
20:46
Speaker 13: Clytie periods it's with a few afternoon showers, possibly heavy
20:49
Speaker 13: and thundery.
20:50
Speaker 2: Northwesterlies eighteen degrees brilliant, thank you. Claire Stuward is in
20:54
Speaker 2: chrish Each this morning. Clear and an abrupt end to
20:57
Speaker 2: the season for one of the Canterbury ski fells.
21:00
Speaker 14: Yeah, there'll be a few disappointed with this Ryan. Recent
21:03
Speaker 14: rain and strong warm winds have just hammered the porter's
21:06
Speaker 14: past site and it's decimated their snowpack there. So Alpine
21:10
Speaker 14: Resort will be hoping to open today, but looks like
21:13
Speaker 14: tomorrow's forecast will spell the end to their season. This
21:17
Speaker 14: would be two weeks ahead of last year, which was
21:19
Speaker 14: already well ahead of their plans. Indeed, ski chief executive
21:23
Speaker 14: Paul Anderson says skiing's really popular in Canterbury, and it
21:27
Speaker 14: is important that the Canterbury fields do well for the
21:29
Speaker 14: whole industry. The fields further south in Queenstown now doing
21:33
Speaker 14: okay for now, while Mount Hart, our other local one
21:37
Speaker 14: is still expecting to be open till closing day in October.
21:41
Speaker 2: Right, and your weather today clear fine.
21:43
Speaker 14: Aside from a bit of fog about this morning, high
21:45
Speaker 14: cloud increasing, Westerly's turning Northerlys and the high of twenty.
21:49
Speaker 2: Thank you Max Tollers and Wellington Max. Parliament's got a
21:52
Speaker 2: new wan, that's right.
21:54
Speaker 9: I yeah.
21:54
Speaker 15: A few months ago while Newsroom revealed that the Parliamentary
21:57
Speaker 15: Service was looking to partner with a few wineries and
22:00
Speaker 15: sell their own branded wine at Parliament in them in
22:04
Speaker 15: the bar u Scoff. But it's done in the UK
22:07
Speaker 15: for and since the House of Lords has quite a
22:09
Speaker 15: successful wine range, Parliament would sell it in the bar,
22:13
Speaker 15: in the restaurant, in the gift shop. It'd be served
22:15
Speaker 15: to foreign dignitaries at parliamentary events. We've learned now exactly
22:19
Speaker 15: what those wines will be. If you're interested. A chardonnay
22:23
Speaker 15: from Leverette Estate and Mills Reef Serrah Mills Reef Merlow
22:27
Speaker 15: Malbeck a leverette brutes that you've got a pino from
22:31
Speaker 15: Marlborough of course, lunar estate pino agree from twenty seven
22:34
Speaker 15: seconds and a Savignon blanc from Eva Pemper.
22:39
Speaker 2: And will just have parliaments branding and logo on that.
22:42
Speaker 15: It will, yes, very prominently.
22:44
Speaker 2: Okay, how's you with it today?
22:46
Speaker 15: Max, Too early to think about wine though, fine today.
22:50
Speaker 15: Northwesterly is fifteen the High Central.
22:52
Speaker 2: Thank you neighbors in the studio this morning. Good morning,
22:55
Speaker 2: Happy Friday, Happy Friday. The shooting in Greenland last night.
23:00
Speaker 16: This is terrible because you looked close.
23:02
Speaker 2: By, you would have heard the helicops, yes, dad, yeah.
23:06
Speaker 16: And I could hear the cars whizzing past two Yeah,
23:09
Speaker 16: the police cars whizzing passed. So what we know is
23:12
Speaker 16: that one person is believed to be dead, a number injured. Now,
23:16
Speaker 16: this is in Auckland's Gray Lynn last night in the suburb.
23:19
Speaker 16: If you're not from Auckland, it's quite you know, in
23:21
Speaker 16: the CBD, more or less it's quite well, not the CBD,
23:24
Speaker 16: but very quite close to the residential and Ponsonby Road area.
23:28
Speaker 16: It happened at ten to seven in the evening on
23:31
Speaker 16: to a Dungey Road, so we know that at least
23:33
Speaker 16: fifteen police vehicles with their multiple ambulances. A man told
23:37
Speaker 16: our newsroom that his grandson had been killed in the incident.
23:41
Speaker 16: Our news director drove past there this morning, past the
23:44
Speaker 16: scene at about four said a group of family members
23:46
Speaker 16: is still gathered outside that cordon area. Not much information
23:50
Speaker 16: obviously at this stage, but the police will be giving
23:52
Speaker 16: us more later on in the morning. But very sad.
23:55
Speaker 2: It is sad, but frightening when it's close to home too,
23:58
Speaker 2: isn't it.
23:58
Speaker 16: Yeah, and the crime is just going up there, isn't it.
24:00
Speaker 2: It feels that way, Niva, it feels that way. We
24:03
Speaker 2: all need a bit of Parliament's wine. I reckon for
24:05
Speaker 2: a Friday. Hey, what's happening with the weather today or Bartley?
24:09
Speaker 12: Cloudy?
24:09
Speaker 16: We've got the showers though they'll be clearing this evening.
24:12
Speaker 16: I'm still a bit springing. Auckland's high seventeen.
24:15
Speaker 2: Thank you Neva and Orkland for us this morning seventeen
24:17
Speaker 2: away from six Vincent mcavinny with US Live. Next is
24:21
Speaker 2: our correspondent talking about French eleection sorry the French Prime Minister,
24:25
Speaker 2: but also in decent assault charges that have been dropped
24:29
Speaker 2: against Harvey Weinstein fourteen minutes away from six News Talk said,
24:33
Speaker 2: be in a second the labor MP calling Christopher Luxen
24:37
Speaker 2: an idiot? Yeah, I mean, can you imagine if when
24:40
Speaker 2: just Sinda a Dumas in power someone called her an idiot,
24:42
Speaker 2: what the blowback would be? Anyway, No such blowback this time.
24:46
Speaker 2: I'll tell you why and exactly what's going on there
24:48
Speaker 2: in just a second.
24:50
Speaker 1: International correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance Peace of mind
24:54
Speaker 1: for New Zealand Business.
24:55
Speaker 2: Vinton mcavini are UK and europe correspondents with US. Vincent,
24:59
Speaker 2: good morning, Nice to be with you. The indecent assault
25:01
Speaker 2: chargers in the UK against Harvey Weinstein discontinued. Why, Yeah,
25:08
Speaker 2: that's right.
25:08
Speaker 6: Well, the CPS says they've made the decision because there
25:11
Speaker 6: is no longer a realistic prospect of conviction now. Weinstein
25:15
Speaker 6: was charged in twenty twenty two with two counts of
25:18
Speaker 6: indecent assault against a woman in London for alleged defenses
25:21
Speaker 6: in nineteen ninety six. The alleged woman victim is now
25:25
Speaker 6: in her fifties, but the head of the Special Crime
25:30
Speaker 6: and counter Terrorism Division at the CPS said that they
25:33
Speaker 6: have continuously reviewed this case and explained their decision to
25:38
Speaker 6: all parties. They would still encourage any potential victims to
25:42
Speaker 6: come forward, but they're saying now that they will not
25:45
Speaker 6: continue with this. Weinstein was of course jailed in twenty
25:48
Speaker 6: twenty in New York for twenty three years for rape
25:51
Speaker 6: and sexual assault a former assistant and an actress as well,
25:55
Speaker 6: many women coming out to testify against him in addition
25:58
Speaker 6: to those alleged various things. But he is of course
26:01
Speaker 6: in a protracted legal battle in the US and now
26:04
Speaker 6: trying to overturn those convictions, so that may have played
26:08
Speaker 6: a part in what's here in the UK and.
26:10
Speaker 2: In France, Macron has pict as Prime minister.
26:13
Speaker 6: Yes, that's right. After a couple of months of turmoil
26:16
Speaker 6: in France. Off that snap election, Michelle Barnier, a veteran
26:21
Speaker 6: French Conservative politician, will take over.
26:24
Speaker 9: Now.
26:24
Speaker 6: That is a name that people might remember from Brexit.
26:27
Speaker 6: He was the EU's former Brexit negotiator. He was incredibly
26:30
Speaker 6: tough and formidable, as the UK Brexit side saw. He's
26:34
Speaker 6: hoping to put an end of the two months of
26:36
Speaker 6: paralysis and deadlock in France. The right the Marine La
26:41
Speaker 6: Penn says that she will wait to see whether or
26:44
Speaker 6: not he can do that, what his platform will be.
26:46
Speaker 6: The left though, aren't happy with his selection, but we'll
26:50
Speaker 6: see whether or not it will get France going again
26:52
Speaker 6: after this sort of stalemate they've been in and this
26:55
Speaker 6: sort of truth that they've had through the Olympics and
26:57
Speaker 6: the Paralympics. So the Paralympics they've set to end, of course,
27:00
Speaker 6: in the next week, so it'll be back to school
27:03
Speaker 6: in France and we'll see whether or not they can
27:05
Speaker 6: get their parliament back up and running. There are some
27:07
Speaker 6: rumors circulating that perhaps President Macron might simply throw in
27:11
Speaker 6: the toll, resign and potentially trigger a fresh presidential election
27:16
Speaker 6: a few years early in order to try and wrong
27:18
Speaker 6: foot Marine Lapenn and the far right in the hope
27:21
Speaker 6: that they might not be prepared yet for that race.
27:24
Speaker 2: Wow, Okay, that would be a big move, wouldn't it.
27:27
Speaker 2: It's either you let the fire far right in and
27:30
Speaker 2: you include them somehow, or they're probably eventually going to
27:34
Speaker 2: take over, aren't they, whether it's now or whether it's
27:37
Speaker 2: in two years. That's Vincent mcavinio. U can you're a
27:39
Speaker 2: correspondent just gone eleven away.
27:41
Speaker 1: From six Ryan Bridge the.
27:44
Speaker 2: Government's making it easier to import a bigger range of
27:46
Speaker 2: building products. It is fifty percent more expensive to build
27:50
Speaker 2: a standalone home in New Zealand than it is in Australia.
27:53
Speaker 2: Now Minister Chris Pink he's introduced legislation that will open
27:56
Speaker 2: up the market in theory and bring in more competition.
27:59
Speaker 2: But should we be worried about faulty products being led
28:02
Speaker 2: in leaky building et cetera. Building Industry Federation Chief executive
28:06
Speaker 2: Julian Lasers with me this morning. Julian, good morning, Good
28:09
Speaker 2: morning Ryan. What products do we need a better range of?
28:13
Speaker 8: Well, it's interesting, I think was what the goverment has
28:16
Speaker 8: identified is they can look for equal or equivalent standards
28:22
Speaker 8: where there are costs concentrations in construction. So they're looking
28:28
Speaker 8: for products such as internal linings, external clannings, windows, plumbing
28:32
Speaker 8: products and insulation and because that's where often some of
28:36
Speaker 8: the you know, the biggest costs are and that they're
28:40
Speaker 8: going to focus on those things. And for example, Watermark,
28:44
Speaker 8: which is an Australian certification, has I think two hundred
28:48
Speaker 8: thousand products that are certified that meet our building code.
28:52
Speaker 8: Those sorts of things will be you know, able to
28:58
Speaker 8: be brought into the market and and provide much more choice,
29:01
Speaker 8: and there should be little risk of not betting our
29:04
Speaker 8: building code.
29:05
Speaker 2: Right, So if it's good enough for the Aussies, it's
29:08
Speaker 2: good enough for us. When you say little risk of
29:11
Speaker 2: not meeting our building code, is there a chance that
29:13
Speaker 2: these products might perform differently here than over there?
29:17
Speaker 8: Well, it's a great question, because of course it's not.
29:20
Speaker 8: You know, products are never just they never just act
29:23
Speaker 8: in isolation in a building that we know. Building systems
29:28
Speaker 8: based on the performance of many different criteria. So if
29:30
Speaker 8: you take a wall, you know that's made up of
29:32
Speaker 8: a frame and trust insulation, class board, ventilation, all that
29:35
Speaker 8: sort of thing. Yeah, I think I think the devil
29:40
Speaker 8: is always in the detail our would be as I regulate,
29:44
Speaker 8: it's going to have to be very clear in what
29:47
Speaker 8: those standards are, and so they, i think, will only
29:51
Speaker 8: peck standards and products specifically from those of trusted overseas
29:56
Speaker 8: jurisdictions that are as close to our kinds as possible.
29:59
Speaker 8: That's the only way they can avoid any trouble.
30:02
Speaker 2: Julian, is this going to shift the dial in terms
30:04
Speaker 2: of how much a cost to build a home in
30:06
Speaker 2: New Zealand a standalone home being fifty percent more expensive
30:10
Speaker 2: to build here in Australia. Is it going to shift
30:12
Speaker 2: the dial?
30:13
Speaker 8: I don't look, I think it's going to shift the dial.
30:15
Speaker 8: The building materials made for about twenty percent of the
30:18
Speaker 8: cost of a house overall. I think it will certainly
30:22
Speaker 8: reduce some cost and bring those costs down over time,
30:26
Speaker 8: which is what we're all aiming for. You know, anything's
30:30
Speaker 8: better than nothing, right, so if we can get more
30:34
Speaker 8: choice and more competition, that that's going to be good.
30:37
Speaker 2: Thanks for your time this morning, Julian Lay's Building Industry
30:39
Speaker 2: Federation Chief Executive. It is eight minutes away from sexy
30:43
Speaker 2: on News Talk said big coming up next, which labor
30:45
Speaker 2: MP is calling Christopher Luxen an idiot.
30:49
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge New for twenty twenty four on early edition
30:53
Speaker 1: with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store.
30:57
Speaker 5: News Talks, it'd be good.
30:58
Speaker 2: Morning, Welcome to your Friday six away from six. Remember
31:00
Speaker 2: when Shane Retti and the Prime Minister came out and
31:03
Speaker 2: said there were fourteen layers of bureaucracy between the Chief
31:06
Speaker 2: Executive and the patient and they made a big announcement
31:10
Speaker 2: and they said there was an organizational chart to back
31:13
Speaker 2: it all up.
31:14
Speaker 4: Well, the advice I've been given is fourteen, fourteen layers
31:17
Speaker 4: of management. I think there's other cosignals of corporate services
31:19
Speaker 4: and things that may or may not have been included.
31:21
Speaker 4: But I just say to you, as obvious to anybody,
31:25
Speaker 4: go talk someone of the system and find out how
31:27
Speaker 4: bureaucratic it is. And it's incredibly bureaucratic.
31:29
Speaker 2: It turns out the organizational chart and it doesn't exist,
31:33
Speaker 2: never existed OaaS have been done. Reporters are in a
31:37
Speaker 2: half as you can imagine, as is the opposition. In fact,
31:40
Speaker 2: Aisha Verral says that the Prime Minister was made to
31:43
Speaker 2: look like an idiot by Shane Letti, by his minister,
31:48
Speaker 2: quite strong language from her. The thing is, this is
31:51
Speaker 2: a bit of a ber story because it's essentially right.
31:55
Speaker 2: It may not be fourteen layers of bureaucray. I think
31:58
Speaker 2: it's twelve. And just because they don't have a chart
32:01
Speaker 2: showing that it's true, it doesn't mean it's not true.
32:04
Speaker 2: I would have saved my idiot torpedo for something a
32:06
Speaker 2: little more consequential. I would have thought five minutes away
32:09
Speaker 2: from six now, Mike Costking is here next. You've got
32:11
Speaker 2: Razor on the show today?
32:12
Speaker 12: Yeah, no, don't you love Razor? Oh? Okay, okay, So
32:17
Speaker 12: Ryan Bridge doesn't like No, it's not that I don't
32:19
Speaker 12: like it.
32:20
Speaker 2: I love him.
32:21
Speaker 12: I think he's a genius, do you Yeah, I do.
32:23
Speaker 12: I think he's a people person. And the fruition of
32:27
Speaker 12: that will be when we win the next World Cup.
32:29
Speaker 2: Well, I hope you're right, and hopefully this is day
32:32
Speaker 2: one squad naming, is day one of a new era? Well,
32:36
Speaker 2: the year has begun.
32:37
Speaker 12: I mean you can argue, you can raise the record
32:39
Speaker 12: against four and two so far, two losses out of
32:41
Speaker 12: six games. If we win this that makes it five
32:44
Speaker 12: and two.
32:44
Speaker 2: But it matters less how many we win now, right,
32:47
Speaker 2: this is about metting up for the future.
32:49
Speaker 12: We lent this a number of cycles ago, and that
32:52
Speaker 12: was it really doesn't matter what happens. Is like, it's
32:56
Speaker 12: nice to win the Bledislow and the Rugby Championship and
32:59
Speaker 12: all that stuff, but as long as we win the
33:01
Speaker 12: World Cup, that's really all the camera.
33:03
Speaker 2: Because when we win the World.
33:04
Speaker 12: Cup, you forget about all the other stuff.
33:05
Speaker 2: Now it is about a world chance, mind you.
33:08
Speaker 12: It's a it's a it's a baptism of fire, isn't
33:12
Speaker 12: it mean? When you're in South Africa one you got
33:14
