• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Gaza trouble, her mass not giving up all of the hostages'
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: bodies that they see that they.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Would if he Mass was withholding bodies of hostages deliberately,
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: then that would be a violation of the ceasefire deal.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: And at the moment, you know, this ceasefire is still
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: at such a fragile stage. That's also been underscored by
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: what we've been seeing in footage from Gaza in the
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: past few hours. In fact, guns not silence across Gaza,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: because there seem to have been more of these deadly
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: shootouts between her Mass and rival gangs.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Trump says that the next stages of the deal are

  Speaker 2: Nigel Faranjas being jailed for five years. His Faragas response.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: The only reason we know about this guy is because
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: somebody sent it to me on TikTok And it makes
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: me wonder how many other madapassas are there now in
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: this country or will there be as the boats can
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: to cross the channel. So I'm please with a judgment,
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: but deeply, deeply concerned that this guy will be out
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: free in eighteen months.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: The first word on the news of the Day Early
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and r V Supercenter explore r
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: v's accessories and servicing more than one news talks'd.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Be nine two ninety two is the number text love
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: hearing from you? The waste and entitlement in Wellington looks
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: to be very much alive and well, if they had
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: pipes that work down there, you might say they're flushing
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: money down the toilet. How are you allowed to overspend
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: a budget by one hundred and thirty thousand dollars and
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: not get into trouble? Why do I offer staff? This
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: is the tapati mardi? Why did they have pea cards?
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: What even our pea cards? How many casual employees was muddia?
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Men?
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Are Kupa KINGI hiring? And why did she need them?
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: What do they actually do for the good people of
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: the North. Just imagine if this happened at your workplace.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Imagine if that happened here it ends in me. A
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: private business would be whipped and shamed. If there wasn't
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: a decent explanation, we'd be frog marched out the door.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: People would be watching closely and there would be trouble.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Not in the halls of power, apparently and over at
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: acc the big spenders. It's no accident there, It's just
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: a raught. This is about farewell parties a few years back.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: They claimed that they have since then tightened up their processes.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: But I don't buy it. I don't think anyone's going
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: to buy it. They tried to hide the twenty thousand
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: dollars bill for a leaving party. They did this by
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: claiming that all the stuff that they flew to Wellington
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: for the drinks and the nibbles and the cannapeys and
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: the hotels that they stayed in were not part of
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: the expense for the event, even though they were clearly
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: an expense for the event. It's again, it's a raught,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: and they tried to hide it. And we've been here before.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: I was thinking this morning, just off the top of
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: my head, Pansy Wong had her credit card scan remember
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: that took her Morgan and his dyes Undy Gate. That
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: was way back in the nineties. So it just keeps happening.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: You know, nothing changes. The old saying rings true. Give
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: a man efficient, he'll he'll eat it. Ryan ten half
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: for five News TALKSB. There is good news this morning.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: If you have a child who's in school, they're actually
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: learning maths in English. And we have more evidence that
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: what the government is trying to do seems to be working.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you about.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: That next on your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and are the Supercenter explore are
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: these accessories and servicing Plan one.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: News Talks B five twelve News Talks ZB. We've got
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: the Restaurant Association on the show while we'll talk to
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: a restaurant owner. This is just after five twenty this morning.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: They've got a new report out that says things are
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: looking good in terms of revenue. Takeaway food services four
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: point four billion in sales over the last year. That's
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: up three point two percent. Catering one point three billion
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: in sales, that's up two point two percent, pubs taverns
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: bars two point one billion in sales, that's up one
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: point seven percent. So all sounds good, But then you
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: look under the hood at the costs and the expenses
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: and they're going through the roof not just food but
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: labor now forty percent of a business's expense. How sustainable?
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: That will ask the question five point thirteen Bryant Bread,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: more evidence that education is on a roll, and you
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: report out this morning. It's the Education Review Office. Primary
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: age kids are not only getting better at English in math,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: they're more excited about doing it. Three quarters of parents
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: say their child's showing clear progress. Teachers are positive too.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Phil Palfrey is with us from Kaital Intermediate School. He's
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: the principal there. Phil. Good morning, Oh morning, Kyoda Yoder.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Good to have you on the show. So thank goodness.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: We've made some changes to education. Looks like it's bearing
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: some early fruit.
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: Yes, well, it seems to be. I haven't read the report,
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: to be honest, but I'm not surprised. I think that
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: the new curriculum, even though some of it's in drafts,
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: still is especially for literacy, but we are seeing progress.
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: I think it's to be fair, it's also to do
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: with the fact that I think our schools are building
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: good relationships with parents, and parents are really more comfortable
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: working with schools. We know we really try hard to
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: make sure our parents are involved as best as possible.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: But also.
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: There's just I can only speak for my school, but
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: I know that the kids have developed great relationships with
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: their teachers, and the teachers work really hard to build
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: those relationships, and I think that's equally important, if not
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: more important, than any curriculum changes, and it's something I
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: love to see.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Why, because I'm just reading the report, Nearly all schools
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: have started using the refreshed curriculum for English and maths. Yes,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: it's something like ninety seven eighty five percent depending on
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: whether you're talking about English or maths and now using
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: the new curriculum, and the report it clearly says that
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: this is what they're putting it down to, because I
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: guess what you're saying is it's teachers and students getting
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: on better and involving parents more. Why is that suddenly changed?
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: Well, you know, we can't forget the old COVID, which
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: did some strange things. But I don't know. I just
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: think that everybody realizes how important education is, and more
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: and more people are realizing their children just have a
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: bit of a blique future if they opt out earlier
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: from school, and that to keep them in school is
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: really important. Children are getting back to school, enjoying school more,
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: and I just think that's just because I think a
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: whole lot of people are just realizing that they can't
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: progress in their life if they don't get a reasonable
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: education or a good education pill.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: In terms of attributing any credit to Erica Stamford, I've
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: spoken to a couple of schools and principles now and
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: it seems like it's the sort of everyone's walking on
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: eggshells and not wanting to say, do you think she's
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: doing a good job?
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: Uh? I think that she. I think I think the
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: changes in the correctum have been really good and really positive.
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: I think she's doing a good job, and she's where
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: she has seen that there was a little bit of
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: flimsy stuff going on there, and I agree with that,
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: and I kind.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: Of always have.
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: I've always thought that, for example, it was mess I mean,
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: I've been around a long time, and I remember wondering
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: why we had to get rid of our textbox a
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: long long time ago. And I know that some people
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: still see textbooks as a diuly word, but I never did.
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: And I couldn't understand why we went away to photocopying
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: and doing a whole lot of other things, and that
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: we didn't because because I didn't see the basics being taught.
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: And I think that there's still an emphasis on basics,
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: and I think that's where still parents have a role
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: to do that too. For example, an intermediate school, we
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: really stress the fact that you need to know your
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: own basic times tables and that's never changed. But somewhere
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: along the line people thought that, you know, maybe they
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: could learn it if they needed to learn it. No, no, no,
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: you have to learn it, you have to know it,
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: and you have to be able to just roll them off,
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: you know. And I couldn't do that when I was young,
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: so I know how that better effect than me. So
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: that's why I'm sort of really making sure that the
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: teachers are still going over basic facts with the kids
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: because it's really really important. But see, we use the
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: new Oxford University Press resources which have been provided by
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: the government, so you can say that's a good thing
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: because it's worked really well, and we see we're starting
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: to see progress in our kids in maths, which is
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: really really exciting, really happy.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: We like to hear Phil appreciate your time this morning,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Phil Palfra who they can't tell intermediate principal time. It's
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: eighteen minutes after five on News Talk c B. We'll
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: look at the Restaurant Association report.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Next Views and Views you trust to start your day.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: It's early Ediship with Ryan Bridge and r V Supercenter
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: explore r VS accessories and servicing fall in one News Talks.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: A B five twenty News TALKSZB. We just had a
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: principle on the program. We had one on yesterday to Ryan,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: says Luke, how to say you don't like the current
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: government without saying you don't like the current government. Another says,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: utterly ridiculous. They will die before they praise Erica Stanford.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Here's what the Aero report actually said. It says is
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: early days, but most schools are now using the refreshed
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: curriculum and they are doing the one hour for your reading, writing,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: and maths as prescribed by the government. It says there
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: has been an improvement in phonics. It says teachers are
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: reporting improved engagement, improved achievement, students like it more and
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: they basically needed a bit of direction and a curriculum
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: refresh and it's paying dividends twenty one after five Bridge, Right,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: let's go to hospitality. The sectors hit record sales of
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: fifteen point nine billion dollars. Restaurant Association and your report
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: out Takeaways with a big winners up three point two
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: percent to four point four billion cafes and restaurants barely
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: moved up up zero point three percent to seven point
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: eight billion. International visitor spending up nine point two percent,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: now sitting at eighty six percent of pre COVID levels.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: But revenue doesn't mean profit. Brad Jacobs is Franchise New
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Zealand chairperson and coffee club co owner with me this morning. Brad,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Good morning, morning Ryan, so good, thank you, good to
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: have you on the show. So revenue is up, but
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: costs are up too.
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, I guess. You know, a big headline
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: number is nice and it's good to celebrate anywhin I guess,
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: but yeah, when you think about food inflation at nearly
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: five percent general and inflation at two point seven percent now,
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: and of course you've also got to remember that there
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: was about two point three percent more outlets opened across
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: the country, So one point four percent total growth is really,
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: unfortunately just not enough to keep people, to keep people
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: where they need to be.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: What about wages? Labor costs are forty percent of businesses now,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: that's the highest eva. Is that an increase in the
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: minimum wage having an effect? Or is that a lack
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: of skilled staff and you're having to pay more. What's
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: the story.
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah, interesting, not in this report, but I did see
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: another report a couple of months ago, and it was
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: about the price of coffee versus labor over the last
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: ten years, and essentially the price of coffee had gone
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: up something like about twenty two percent and ten years
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: versus the minimum wage has gone up sixty three percent
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: over the last ten years. So you know, the reality is,
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: I just we can't pass on pricing that we need
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: to to customers without running the risk of putting ourselves
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: out of market. So unfortunately, yes, minimum wages has just
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: grown faster than we can pass on costs, and we've
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: had to absorb a lot. I think there is still
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: some shortage of labor. Not as bad as it was,
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: certainly for us a couple of years ago. You know,
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: eighteen months ago it was a major problem for everyone.
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: It has relaxed a little. But I guess once those
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: those you know, in that type period where where labor
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: costs grew quickly, you don't then come back down from that.
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: That's the new.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Level then, So how can we still have problems with
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: labor shortages when we've got all these people on job?
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: See you know what what's not computing.
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: Yes, maybe some of it is the wrong people in
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: the wrong area. Maybe there's a few people that just
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: don't actually want to be employed. And of course there's
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: you know, I suppose it's it's a term that gets
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: thrown around regularly, but perhaps there's jobs out there that
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: qws just don't want to do that they see that
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: that they're above. So without without people on some kind
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: of visa, our industry falls apart. That's the reality of it.
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: You know, we have a lot of people working in
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: hospitality that are either here studying, traveling new to New
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: Zealand and that has been as the same for our
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: business as long as I can ever remember.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Bred. Is there still a problem with working from home?
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Is that still affecting business? I saw ACC this week
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: went from two days in the office to three. Is
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: the y's still a problem?
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: Absolutely? Yeah. If you look at the report, you know,
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: if you look at Auckland, it performed below below the
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: national average. And then when you read further into the report,
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: it says, you know, of that one point two percent
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: growth in Auckland, most of it came from the suburban areas,
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: not the CBD. We still have four outlets in the
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: city we had we had six previously and all four
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: of those outlets have never got back to anywhere near
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: close to what they used to be pre COVID. Unfortunately,
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: this is Auckland City and yeah, the reality is it's
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: just not as many people in offices as they used
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: to be, and that part of that, I guess is
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: working from home. I think part of it is also,
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: you know, some businesses found that they just didn't need
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: to be in the city and so you see little
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: satellite areas growing in Auckland, people that are not needing
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: to be right in the city center anymore. The prestige
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: of being in the city center just isn't there.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Brad, appreciate your trying this morning. Thank you, Brad Jacobs, Franchise,

  Speaker 2: The opposition to it comes not just from the usual suspects,
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: but also former Prime Minister Labour storewart legend Paul Keating.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Even the Unions were crying boohoo about it. So he's
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: had to u turn and he's you turned on unrealized gains,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: which have always been a stupid thing to try and tax.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: How can you pay tax on money you haven't earned?
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: The Greens want to do this, David Parker wanted to
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: do it to party, Mardy wants it, and Debbie said
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: at the weekend that she and Chippy are on the
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: same page when it comes to a wealth tax. Interesting,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: isn't it. He denies this, but does anyone believe a
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: guy who won't tell you what he's really thinking or
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: what he really stands for until he rules something in
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: or out. He looks like a guy plotting in secret.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: He and Barbara squirreled away with an abacus in some office,
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: quietly conjuring up new and inventive revenue streams. And we're
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: left wondering whose business, whose property, whose wealth is right
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: for the picking. The warning from Australia is pretty night
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: and day. If you're going to tax something, and that's
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: a big if here at home, but if you're going
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: to do it, you'd better make sure it's a realized
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: gain and not a tax on imaginery on paper earnings.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Ryan Johny eight after five News talks, he'd be over
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: in the UK, we have the G seven. So IMF
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: releases its report and says this is how much our
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: economies are going to grow by over the next year,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: over the next two years, and you have outside of
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: the US, the UK leading the numbers and the world
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: generally shaking off the tariffs. So twenty twenty six they
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: think global economy will grow three point one percent, the
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: UK one point three percent this year, same in twenty
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: twenty six. New Zealand. Our real GDP they expect for
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty five will be point eight percent and twenty
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: twenty six two point two percent, which means if they're
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: right in twenty twenty six, we will be growing faster
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: than the Aussies and the Americans. We'll look at that
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: more after News, Sport and Weather News Talks at.

• 18:09
  Speaker 2: important politician on the phone and just give them a
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: piece of your mind, Well you can do that now.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: Private phone numbers for Albanesi and Australia Donald Trump Junior
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: have been leaked and published on a US website their
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: actual personal phone numbers. Apparently AI scrapes the Internet for information,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: so their numbers must have been on some report or
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: somewhere in the far flung corners of the Internet. The
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: site claims to have contact details for hundreds of millions
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: of professionals, is used by recruiters and sales representatives. The
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: BBC has verified this a current private phone number for
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Albanesi a personal contact number for Donald Trump Junior. The
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: BBC has also called numbers listed for Barack Obama to
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: no avail and then I love this line and it's
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: just written with no further explanation, Bill Clinton, they rang
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: the phone. It was picked up by an audibly confused

  Speaker 7: soft trading conditions, especially the retail and construction sectors, but
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: the rural regions, especially those in the south with large
• 19:31
  Speaker 7: dairy sectors, are seeing firmer conditions than elsewhere. And the
• 19:35
  Speaker 7: report says Otago, including the Queenstown Lakes district, has been
• 19:39
  Speaker 7: the star performer for the economy at the moment, conditions
• 19:42

  Speaker 2: going to do next.
• 21:10
  Speaker 9: Yes, she's already cleared out of her office and said
• 21:13
  Speaker 9: her goodbyes, but I imagine we'll be hearing much more from
• 21:16
  Speaker 9: the departing mare fresh off. That's slightly embarrassing defeat over
• 21:19
  Speaker 9: the weekend. In her bid for counsel, she says she's
• 21:21
  Speaker 9: already starting to feel better. Fancies a move abroad for
• 21:24
  Speaker 9: a couple of years and not long enough though to
• 21:27
  Speaker 9: prevent her returning in time for the twenty twenty nine
• 21:30
  Speaker 9: general election that's still her planned. She wants to stand
• 21:32
  Speaker 9: for the Green Party, but now the job hunt for
• 21:35
  Speaker 9: miss Farno quite incredibly. She says Wellington's economy is in
• 21:38
  Speaker 9: such a state she doesn't believe she'll have any luck
• 21:40
  Speaker 9: getting a job here and so Auckland perhaps is an
• 21:43
  Speaker 9: option that she says Melbourne is a strong option. She
• 21:46
  Speaker 9: wants to work something policy or public related. As reported,
• 21:49
  Speaker 9: she's also signed up to be a celebrity guest speaker.
• 21:52

  Speaker 9: Imagine it'll stay in the office, Yes, to remind to
• 22:18
  Speaker 9: remind of successes.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: Of what not to do. Let that be a listen
• 22:23

  Speaker 2: it's I mean, honestly, to go, I mean the portrait
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: and then just say the ultimate irony that they said,
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: I know it was a mistake, we made a mistake
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: and thousand dollars portrait?
• 22:44
  Speaker 10: What the hell's going on there?
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: You wouldn't have Wayne Brown doing that, would you?
• 22:47
  Speaker 11: Wayne?
• 22:48
  Speaker 10: What would not be standing up there with expletives going portrait.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: I spoke to him yesterday and I said, Wayne, you
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: don't really enjoy campaigning to you? He goes, He said,
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: it's like being an a dentist chair for six weeks.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: I hated it. I hated everyone I had to talk to.
• 23:04
  Speaker 10: I love seeing a smile, you know, the media after
• 23:07
  Speaker 10: he won, because you know, he was just beaming and
• 23:10
  Speaker 10: it's very rare when you see the full on his
• 23:12
  Speaker 10: full on teeth and everything.
• 23:13
  Speaker 12: I thought that was quite cute.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: A happy man, but happy man. You know, the only
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: place at the see in New Zealand where you can
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: have a guy basically saying he hates you and you
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: vote for him. So good. Hey, in Auckland, there is
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: some sad news. This is Ponsonby Restaurant closing its doors
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: going into liquidations.
• 23:30
  Speaker 10: Yes, now this is sadda. The news came out yesterday.
• 23:32
  Speaker 10: Now this was opened back in two thousand and nine.
• 23:35
  Speaker 10: You know it was an award winning restaurant named Cuisine
• 23:39
  Speaker 10: Good Food Awards Restaurant of the Year back in twenty nineteen.
• 23:41
  Speaker 10: So the former owners said in chance subtle what they
• 23:44
  Speaker 10: told our news and look very sad news that sadata
• 23:47
  Speaker 10: said to close its doors. Well and obviously too, you know,
• 23:51
  Speaker 10: we all know the past couple of years have been
• 23:53
  Speaker 10: tough for a hospitality. So their hearts go out to
• 23:56
  Speaker 10: the owner, which is Leslie chandrap so yes, very glad
• 23:59
  Speaker 10: to do's our weather cloudy isolated Charles mainly in the afternoon.
• 24:03
  Speaker 10: Seventeen the high year in Aukluds, Thank you Neva.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: It is eighteen minutes away from six Gray Bread. Yeah
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: a NATO boss, Mark Rutter. He's having a crack, having
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: a bit of a joke at the expense of the
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Russian naval fleet which is in the Mediterranean.
• 24:16
  Speaker 13: In effect, there's hardly any Russian naval presence in the Mediterranean.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Left there is a.
• 24:24
  Speaker 13: Long and broken Russian submarine limping home from patrol. What
• 24:30
  Speaker 13: a change from the nineteen eighty four Tom Clenchy novel
• 24:33
  Speaker 13: The Hunts for a Lecturer, Good Day.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: It seems more like the hunts for the nearest mechanic.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: So the ship that he's talking of, the submarine that
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: he's talking about, diesel powered surfed, surfaced off the French coast,
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: apparently to comply with navigation rules. Dutch authorities said it's
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: under tow in the North Sea at the moment. Seventeen
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: to six. Gavin Gray in the UK.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Next International correspondence. It ends an eye insurance peace of
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Part of detection on news talk to be able to
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: politics and a sick in and f gain men in
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: the UK came on a small boat, threatened to kill
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Nigel Faraj now being jailed. Gevin Gray are UK europe
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: correspondent Gavin, good morning, you have morning, Ryan.
• 25:16
  Speaker 12: Yes, it's making big headlines here because this man who
• 25:19
  Speaker 12: claims to be twenty six, although the authorities actually think
• 25:22
  Speaker 12: he's given a false name and is actually thirty one,
• 25:25
  Speaker 12: came from Afghanistan originally and then spent several years in Sweden.
• 25:30
  Speaker 12: He carried out there a seventeen previous convictions in that
• 25:34
  Speaker 12: country carrying an ife, threatening behavior in vandalism. He was
• 25:38
  Speaker 12: jailed as well over there for using threatening behavior towards
• 25:40
  Speaker 12: a public servant. He then arrives in the UK on
• 25:43
  Speaker 12: a small boat illegally and films it for a live
• 25:47
  Speaker 12: streaming moment on TikTok and on it he's encouraging other
• 25:51
  Speaker 12: people to come to the UK illegally. At that point,
• 25:54
  Speaker 12: Nigel Faraj had our reform UK political leader want to
• 25:59
  Speaker 12: be Minister, very popular in the opinion polls. The architect
• 26:03
  Speaker 12: of Brexit reposts that video and says, look, we're getting
• 26:06
  Speaker 12: all sorts of people into this country and we don't
• 26:09
  Speaker 12: even know who they are. And the accused responded to
• 26:13
  Speaker 12: Nigel Pharaoh with another video and he pointed towards his
• 26:17
  Speaker 12: face tattoo of an AK forty seven just under his
• 26:20
  Speaker 12: eye and said he was going to quote pop pop
• 26:24
  Speaker 12: pop Farage, referring to him as an English Nigel. Now
• 26:28
  Speaker 12: he when he mentioned those words pop pop pop, he
• 26:31
  Speaker 12: made a gun sign with his hand to his head.
• 26:35
  Speaker 12: So obviously Nigel Pharaoh said he felt very threatened about this.
• 26:38
  Speaker 12: The man was now in the UK and that's why
• 26:40
  Speaker 12: he's been in court and that's why today he's been
• 26:43
  Speaker 12: jailed for five years, which incidentally should mean he's automatically
• 26:46
  Speaker 12: deported at the end.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: Charming, And now the IMF reports come out overnight. This
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: has got the you know list. The growth projictions for
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: the world's economies in the UK sit to be the
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: sick and fastest growing of the advance danced.
• 27:01
  Speaker 12: Yes next year and the third fastest in twenty twenty six.
• 27:04
  Speaker 12: Much needed good news for this government a few weeks
• 27:07
  Speaker 12: before it basically puts out its fiscal plans and likely
• 27:11
  Speaker 12: tax rise is coming up for UK tax payers. The IMF, however,
• 27:17
  Speaker 12: does predict the UK is going to face the highest
• 27:19
  Speaker 12: rate of inflation in the G seven this year and next.
• 27:22
  Speaker 12: Why rising energy and utility bills? Now, some are arguing
• 27:26
  Speaker 12: that's the policy of this government because we are automatically
• 27:31
  Speaker 12: paying quite a lot towards encouraging this green levy, towards
• 27:36
  Speaker 12: getting more and more of the renewable energy and less
• 27:40
  Speaker 12: on the gas electricity market, etc. So prices are forecast
• 27:46
  Speaker 12: to rise by three point four percent this year, inflation
• 27:50
  Speaker 12: two point five percent the following. But that is way
• 27:53
  Speaker 12: ahead of the target set by the economists for our
• 27:58
  Speaker 12: inflation target of two percent and UK economic growth remaining
• 28:02
  Speaker 12: very modest. It has to be said, run at one
• 28:04
  Speaker 12: point three percent for this year. But that is believe
• 28:07
  Speaker 12: it or not, yes, going to be the second best,
• 28:10
  Speaker 12: just behind America of the GESUB countries.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: All right, appreciate your time, Gavin gray Are UK Europe Correspondent.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: It's eleven to six. Bryan Bridge Larby Ytt's ear Jordan's
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: shoes could be banned from Parliament. Speakers setting out plans
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: to crack down on standards. This after ordinary competents made
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: in speech, dress code and leave request systems are on
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Jerry's menu for action. Liam here, political commentator with me
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: this morning, Liam, Good morning, good morning. You right, Coupa
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: King's spending. How do you spend more than one hundred
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: and thirty thousand dollars over budget and not get in trouble?
• 28:44
  Speaker 14: Well, the trouble she got in was was being demoted,
• 28:48
  Speaker 14: but without that, you know, sort of being disclosed by
• 28:52
  Speaker 14: the party at the time, and you know as to
• 28:56
  Speaker 14: how you overspend the money, a poor poor budget control.
• 29:00
  Speaker 14: You know, it's I mean, you know, spending more than
• 29:02
  Speaker 14: you have coming in. It's as simple as that. It's
• 29:05
  Speaker 14: what's quite remarkable is that all this to come out
• 29:08
  Speaker 14: only as a result of the party turmoil and wasn't
• 29:11
  Speaker 14: disclosed at the time.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: Exactly if they weren't scrapping with one another, we'd be
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: none the wiser, Which is.
• 29:17
  Speaker 14: Yeah, it's pretty serious, isn't it. I Mean, like even
• 29:22
  Speaker 14: now we don't know the full details, We don't know
• 29:24
  Speaker 14: how it was resolved. All we know is that it's
• 29:26
  Speaker 14: been deployed as part of a civil war within the party.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: What about this crackdown on leave and dress code in parliament?
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: Will it Is it going to achieve anything? Is that
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: really the root of the problem.
• 29:38
  Speaker 14: Well, it's not really the root of the problem. But
• 29:40
  Speaker 14: what Browny sort of said yesterday was that, you know,
• 29:43
  Speaker 14: he doesn't have a whole lot of tools as speaker
• 29:47
  Speaker 14: to be able to directly crack down on things like
• 29:50
  Speaker 14: the second harker in the speech that went over time
• 29:55
  Speaker 14: in the absence of other members taking the initiative and
• 29:57
  Speaker 14: making a complaint to him. What he does have some
• 30:00
  Speaker 14: control over as enforcing the rules that already exist, you know,
• 30:04
  Speaker 14: more strictly, and he intends to do that, and I
• 30:07
  Speaker 14: think they're the case. There's a case to say that
• 30:09
  Speaker 14: how you do anything everything, and you know, what's contributed
• 30:14
  Speaker 14: to the chaos has been not so much the incidents themselves,
• 30:20
  Speaker 14: or the lack drop any particular drop standards, any particular
• 30:23
  Speaker 14: incident of wearing air Jordan's in the chamber, but the
• 30:27
  Speaker 14: accumulation of small breaches has sort of led to this
• 30:30
  Speaker 14: atmosphere and missiveness, and that's just sort of brat down
• 30:34
  Speaker 14: the water.
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: And the rules.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: So when you're at school and you have musty day,
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: you know, and everyone is sort of a bit looney
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: on mufty day, you feel a bit freer, a bit looser,
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: and a bit more mischievous.
• 30:44
  Speaker 9: Yeah, well, look.
• 30:45
  Speaker 14: There's a reason why we you know, we dress nicely
• 30:47
  Speaker 14: if we have to come meet the bank manager, you know,

• 32:30
  Speaker 2: I've woken up from it because I have a nap
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: in the morning. Of course I've woken up and the
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: phone is dialing, so it's next to my head and I've.
• 32:38
  Speaker 15: Obviously you sleep with your phone, Yeah, sleep with the phone,
• 32:40

• 32:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, hit button or I don't know how it works.
• 32:46
  Speaker 11: But do you realize how weird this makes you look?
• 32:48
  Speaker 15: I mean, you don't have to tell these stories on here, honestly,
• 32:51
  Speaker 15: because the more stories you tell, the stranger you look at.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: No one's going to tell it. It's fallen out.
• 32:56
  Speaker 15: It's just like one of those like your phone. Hey,
• 32:59
  Speaker 15: the the what do you want to call it? The
• 33:02
  Speaker 15: hospow industry. So here's my theory and I've extolled this
• 33:07
  Speaker 15: for some time and I've learned it off Peter Gordon.
• 33:08
  Speaker 15: Peter Gordon said, we've got too many places basically, so
• 33:12
  Speaker 15: you cannot because they're.
• 33:13
  Speaker 11: One of the biggest winges going.
• 33:14
  Speaker 15: You notice that the restaurant association that the hospital, they
• 33:17
  Speaker 15: just moan all the time about how tight it is,
• 33:20
  Speaker 15: how difficult it is. You can't have it difficult plus
• 33:23
  Speaker 15: break a record. The two don't go to get.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: Well, it's revenue and it's not profit, is it. I
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: mean that's what they're saying.
• 33:29
  Speaker 15: Yeah, but I mean it's how you structure your business.
• 33:31
  Speaker 15: And I get all the labor stuff, but at the
• 33:32
  Speaker 15: end of the day, one of them. There are two
• 33:34
  Speaker 15: key things to the hospow industry, as far as I
• 33:36
  Speaker 15: can work out. One, it's entry.
• 33:37
  Speaker 11: It's too easy.
• 33:38
  Speaker 15: You can be an immigrant and gaess go right, I'll
• 33:40
  Speaker 15: buy that, and I'll suddenly got a whole bunch of
• 33:42
  Speaker 15: jobs from my families. You have no idea where they
• 33:44
  Speaker 15: are any good. Second of all, there are people out
• 33:46
  Speaker 15: there I reckon who are good at what they do.
• 33:48
  Speaker 15: I know these people. I know these people who are
• 33:50
  Speaker 15: good at what they do, and they're very successful. The
• 33:52
  Speaker 15: tables are full, the bookings are full. The profit's mine
• 33:54
  Speaker 15: because they do a good job.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: The over eat things not helping. I mean, if you're
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: a fine dining.
• 33:59
  Speaker 15: Restaurant, if you're under the exactly, if you're at the
• 34:01
  Speaker 15: crap end of the market and you're just selling, you're
• 34:04
  Speaker 15: selling rubbish food, then then you know you deserve to
• 34:06
  Speaker 15: go broke. But if you're doing something, it's like your show, Ryan,
• 34:09
  Speaker 15: if you do a good show, it's going to be successful.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: Oh, which it is exactly all right. I'll go and
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: put my phone on lock. Mike. Thank you, have a
• 34:16
