  Speaker 2: They'd be very good morning, six after five.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: Great to have your company coming up this hour the
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: OCRs OCR Day to Day Will Sharon Zolna from A
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: and Z on that Gavin's in the UK for US.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: Should ministers here be able to sack their department's CEOs
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: because currently they can't.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: And we'll head to Jerusalem on the.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: War the agenda eighth of April. He's warning civilization could
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: die tonight. This is in Iran and it's Trump. There's
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: seven hours left on his countdown clock at present.
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: To waite boat a civilization anywhere would be to put
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: all of us on a course for the end of
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: the world. And we have to believe that Donald Trump
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: doesn't want that. I think what he is playing at
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: is possibly what we've seen before. The marketing of a
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: resolution to this conflict can be presented as a US success.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: This is how jd Vance is explaining it. He's in
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: Budapest at the moment.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: They've got to know.
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: We've got tools in our toolkit that we so far
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: haven't decided to use. The President of United States can
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: decide to use them, and he will decide to use
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: them if the Ranians don't change their force of condom.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: When you talk about ending civilization, you immediately go to
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: a nuclear weapon, don't you. Is that what you thought too?
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: We'll talk about that in a second. Why is jd
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Vance in Budapest? But he's there to support Victor Auban,
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: who we told you yesterday is an ally of Trump,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: actually potentially an ally of Putin as well. He's going
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: to the polls Sunday.
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: We all gratitude to President Trump and the Vice President
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: Vans for standing by Hungary during the past years.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: The United States of.
• 1:45
  Speaker 6: America is the strongest country in the world, and I
• 1:49
  Speaker 6: am happy to say that they are our allies today.
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: The peace and the security of Hungary, therefore is guaranteed.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Finally, this morning, it's by by ken Ye.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: He's been blocked from entering the UK because of a
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: bunch of sort of pro Nazi stuff that he said
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: a few years back. The gig that he was meant
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: to format has been canned as well.
• 2:07
  Speaker 7: They really don't have anyone to blame other than themselves, really,
• 2:11
  Speaker 7: I mean, this was a wrong decision to invite Kanya
• 2:14
  Speaker 7: in the first instance, they should have done the decent
• 2:16
  Speaker 7: thing and canceled it once they saw the concern there was,
• 2:20
  Speaker 7: and now it's all fallen apart, but they have no
• 2:22
  Speaker 7: one to blame themselves. We want to see music festivals
• 2:25
  Speaker 7: being places of love and joy and togetherness, not places
• 2:28
  Speaker 7: where hate and hateful actors or performers are on stage.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day Early
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and Spark for Business Technology that
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: keeps business moving News talks.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: It'd be just gone nine minutes after five. We have
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: some numbers for you this morning. The global dairy trade
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: numbers are out. This is our fortnightly option and it's down.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: It's actually the first drop that we've seen this year.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Remember last year it was tailing off towards the end,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: and then we picked up again in January and haven't
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: really stopped well. Now we have down three point four
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: percent overnight, butter down eight point one percent, mozzarella down
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: six point two. The ones we really care about are
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: the milk powders. Skim milk powder that is down one
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: point six, whole milk powder down point seven. Now, yesterday
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: we had some good news on the commodity price front
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: because A and Z released there. This is the monthly
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: index of commodity prices, and they were up, in fact
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: near a record high for March. In fact, the only
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: other month that's been higher was after the war with
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Ukraine broke out between Russia and Ukraine. So four point
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: one percent was the monthly increase. It was pretty much
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: across all categories. Dairy aluminium led the charge, and the
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: reason is that, well, basically people were going out and
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: precorded and being a bit scared about the war in
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Iran and what it might mean for shipping, and so
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: they did some precautionary buying. And also with aluminium, the
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: UAE has smell to there that was damaged in some
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: attacks by Israel, so that's tightened up sorry by I run,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: so that's tightened up the supply.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Our dollar is also weak.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: So all of these things add together to mean that
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: the commodity prices are higher in world value terms, world
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: price terms are higher, and we're doing better now.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: The interesting thing.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Will be what happens after this if you go out
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: and buy a whole bunch of stuff because you're worried
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: that the world's going to end. Then the next time
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: there is an option I you today, you buy less potentially,
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: and that might be why we are seeing the price
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: the global dairy trade auction come down. Aliuminium by the way,
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: up nine point eight percent month on month eleven. After five, Brian,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: you're too Jerusalem next. I mean, honestly, Donald Trump just
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: calmed down, can you. And the more he get, the
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: more sort of bombastic he gets. You think, Okay, well,
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: he's either so frustrated because they're not giving him what
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: he wants that he's going to bression that literally the
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: end of the world, and then he'll pull back and
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: everything will be fine and the whole war will be over.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: There'll be some kind of deal done. Well, the Iranians
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: have said that they're not going to negotiate directly with
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: the US from here on, and so that can't.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Be a good sign.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: We'll head to Jerusalem for the latest on this.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Next on your radio and online on iHeartRadio Belly Edition
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: with Ryan Bridge and Spark for Business Technology that keeps
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Business Moving Newstalk ZB.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Five thirteen on News Talk ZB Wellington.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: You're not crazy.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Your rates are extremely high and you are paying through
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: the notes for them. Rates in Wellington have doubled since
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: twenty twelve, doubled, I know, just let that sink in
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: amongst the highest in the country, least affordable in the country,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: including the levy for this new mile points sludge minimization plant,
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: which is apparently five hundred million dollars it's going to
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: cost the media and Wellington City residential rates have gone
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: from about nineteen hundred dollars and twenty two twelve to
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: five one hundred and seventy seven dollars last year. Now
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: that far outpaces your increase in household wages over the
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: same period, which were fifty six percent. So that's why
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: you're feeling the squeeze, and that's why you've elected Andrew Little,
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: who said he'd come in and sort the rates out.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: You're never going to elect a right winger in Wellington,
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: are you, But I suppose Andrew Little is the closest
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: thing you'll get a centrist. He's brought the rates hight
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: for this year down from twelve percent to seven percent.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: There'll be some cuts that will have to happen to
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: make that work, but he also wants and this is
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: what he's sort of ramping up to now is he
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: wants the government to pay rates on Parliament because they
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: don't at the moment, on schools, on Wellington Hospital, all
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: of those government buildings, they don't pay rates.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: He says, actually they should Bryan Bridge, which would mean
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: you pay less.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Of course, five point fifteen, So seven hours on the
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: clock till Trump's peace deadline runs out. He has handed
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: to run a ten point plan for a ceasefire, but
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: the raging doesn't seem to be a fan of this.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: So basically it's midday to day in New Zealand time,
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: and if this doesn't happen, quote, a whole civilization will
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: die tonight. Dan Saba is a defense and security editor
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: at The Guardian.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Joins us this morning.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Hi Dan, Hi, Hi. So well, let's start with what
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: Israel's doing overnight. I've been striking some bridges and transport
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: areas in Iran.
• 7:25
  Speaker 8: Yes, that's right, one of the things that's happened obviously
• 7:28
  Speaker 8: during I'm in Jerusalem, so is during the day during
• 7:30
  Speaker 8: the day here. But yeah, we're all been looking ahead
• 7:33
  Speaker 8: to this Trump deadline tonight. But and Trump has been
• 7:37
  Speaker 8: threatening to bomb bridges and power plants, and we were
• 7:39
  Speaker 8: sort of expecting that could potentially be happening tomorrow. But
• 7:42
  Speaker 8: here we are, here we are. The Israelis began the
• 7:46
  Speaker 8: day and said we're going to bomb you know, telling
• 7:47
  Speaker 8: Arenians to keep away from the railway networks because they
• 7:50
  Speaker 8: might be bombed anytime during the day. That's how the
• 7:53
  Speaker 8: day started. And it looks like the idea of the
• 7:55
  Speaker 8: Israeli Air Force. So it bombed eight different bridges or
• 8:00
  Speaker 8: eight different parts of the railway network in and around Tehran.
• 8:04
  Speaker 8: So they're already, you know, never mind the deadline that
• 8:08
  Speaker 8: John Trump's talking about or it's crazy extraordinary talk about
• 8:13
  Speaker 8: civilization Erasia, but uh uh, you know, already we're seeing
• 8:17
  Speaker 8: civil infrastructure being heavily bombed in Iran.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: What do you think that is about the Israelis going
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: ahead and doing that ahead of time? Is that a
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: warning like this is what you know, we're serious, we
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: will go ahead and do this.
• 8:31
  Speaker 8: I think it's a mixture, Yes, I think it's partly that.
• 8:33
  Speaker 8: I think it's part of it's designed to kind of
• 8:35
  Speaker 8: up the pressure on on Iran as this negotiating deadline come,
• 8:39
  Speaker 8: you know, comes close. The reality is thus far throughout
• 8:42
  Speaker 8: you know, throughout the day doesn't it like Iran is
• 8:46
  Speaker 8: really that interested in talking. It doesn't like the terms
• 8:49
  Speaker 8: that have been put in front the fit. Iran wants
• 8:51
  Speaker 8: a permanent end to the war. It doesn't want to
• 8:53
  Speaker 8: cease fire, which is what's been on put you know,
• 8:56
  Speaker 8: on offer from mediators like the Egyptians and the Turks
• 9:02
  Speaker 8: and the Pakistanis it doesn't want this kind of idea
• 9:04
  Speaker 8: that they could be a ceasefire and then the Americans
• 9:06
  Speaker 8: could just bomb anyway for a couple of days and
• 9:08
  Speaker 8: then kind of say, oh, it's still a ceasefire. They
• 9:12
  Speaker 8: think that's kind of unfair. They want a full deal.
• 9:15
  Speaker 8: But the kind of things that they want seem to
• 9:17
  Speaker 8: want is they still want something a degree of control
• 9:19
  Speaker 8: over the straits of horn moves. And that's a non
• 9:21
  Speaker 8: start for Trump, who memorably said open the bleep straight
• 9:26
  Speaker 8: on social media earlier this week. So we're two sides
• 9:30
  Speaker 8: are a long way up, two sides seem a long
• 9:32
  Speaker 8: way apart. So I think that's partly why we're seeing
• 9:35
  Speaker 8: this increased bombing.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: And then you've got the Golf States who want Trump
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: basically to keep going, don't they.
• 9:42
  Speaker 8: Well, well, the girlf States are being hit very hard
• 9:46
  Speaker 8: I think we've seen another facility in Saudi Arabia was
• 9:49
  Speaker 8: bombed to bomb today and they clearly would like the
• 9:54
  Speaker 8: US to somehow finish the job, although it's not exactly
• 9:57
  Speaker 8: obvious how the Americans can do that, given they work
• 10:01
  Speaker 8: commit ground forces. And if Iran is willing, if Iran's
• 10:05
  Speaker 8: leadership or new leadership is willing to take an awful
• 10:08
  Speaker 8: lot of pain, and it seems to be so far
• 10:11
  Speaker 8: done so, then this could go on for some time.
• 10:15
  Speaker 8: It's not a very attractive scenario for ninety million ordinary
• 10:18
  Speaker 8: Iranians that are caught up in this.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Though certainly not Dan appreciate your analysis. Thank you, Dan Saba,
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: Defense and Security editor at The Guardian. It is eighteen
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: after five. News Talks HEB the New Zealand Initiative next
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: saying that government ministers here should have the power to
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: fire high and fire their department chief executives.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: News Talks HEB News.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: And Views You Trust to start your day. It's early
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and Spark for Business Technology that
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: keeps Business Moving.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: News TALKSB twenty one after five. Sharon Zold from a
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Z on the OCEA decision out today from the Reserve
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Bank that's coming up before six right now. The New
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: Zealand Initiative reckons, think tank reckons that Ministers of the
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: Crown here should have the power to fire their department's
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: CEOs ol of a heart, which the New Zealand Initiative
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: executive directed with me this morning.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: On of a good morning, good morning.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: So why do you Well, first of all, what's the
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: reason we don't let them.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Do it at the moment.
• 11:15
  Speaker 9: Well, the reason is actually that since nineteen eighty eight,
• 11:17
  Speaker 9: the Public Service Commission has been in charge of appointing
• 11:20
  Speaker 9: department chief executives. It's quite an unusual scenario really because
• 11:24
  Speaker 9: most people think when we bought for a government, the
• 11:27
  Speaker 9: government has the rights to basically govern as they like
• 11:30
  Speaker 9: and as they promise them their manifestos. But in fact
• 11:33
  Speaker 9: it's actually a Public Service Commission that appoints the department
• 11:35
  Speaker 9: chief executives, and very few other countries for system like that.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: Yes, but they can say, the minister can say I
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: don't have confidence in so and so and that. I
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: mean they normally sort it out. Did they need to
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: be able to pull the lever themselves.
• 11:50
  Speaker 9: I think it would be a lot cleaner because I mean,
• 11:52
  Speaker 9: if you think about it this way. You might be
• 11:55
  Speaker 9: a minister just sworn in, but the department ce has
• 11:58
  Speaker 9: been reappointed by the previous government and under the Public
• 12:01
  Speaker 9: Service Commissioner back then, and then you spent your entire
• 12:04
  Speaker 9: term working with someone who you haven't picked, who might
• 12:07
  Speaker 9: not be happy with you, and vice versa, and that
• 12:09
  Speaker 9: actually doesn't work well. Then to implement the government's agenda.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Can you give me an example of where this hasn't
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: worked or why this hasn't worked.
• 12:18
  Speaker 10: Well?
• 12:18
  Speaker 9: I mean, if you look at the resource management reforms
• 12:20
  Speaker 9: currently going through Parliament. So the coalition agreement was crystal
• 12:24
  Speaker 9: clear what they wanted to achieve was a new resource
• 12:27
  Speaker 9: management system based on property rights. We got a cabinet
• 12:30
  Speaker 9: paper in twenty four which promised just that, and when
• 12:33
  Speaker 9: you look at the draft legislation now before Parliament, there
• 12:37
  Speaker 9: is very little of that's still in there, and we
• 12:39
  Speaker 9: can suspect that the bureaucracy simply watered down the plants
• 12:42
  Speaker 9: that they didn't like.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: What are they do in Germany?
• 12:46
  Speaker 9: Well, in Germany, under the constitution, the minister is in
• 12:49
  Speaker 9: charge of the ministry. It's articled sixty five of the
• 12:52
  Speaker 9: Basic Law, and that basically makes the Minister the Chief exect. Now,
• 12:55
  Speaker 9: in practice, of course, it means the ministers appoint a
• 12:58
  Speaker 9: state Secretary's state secretary runs the department on their behalf,
• 13:02
  Speaker 9: and that state secretary has to be qualified, so there's
• 13:06
  Speaker 9: a clear qualification requirement under the law. But also it's
• 13:09
  Speaker 9: someone that the minister can trust, So it's a political appointment,
• 13:12
  Speaker 9: but the rest of the public service is totally neutral.
• 13:16
  Speaker 9: So the political appointments are really for the top tier
• 13:19
  Speaker 9: of public servants, but nothing underneath the rest is totally protected.
• 13:23
  Speaker 9: There are guard rails, there is a whistleblower clause, and actually,
• 13:27
  Speaker 9: if you ever try to do anything unlawful in Germany,
• 13:31
  Speaker 9: the public service has a duty to object to that.
• 13:34
  Speaker 9: So it is not a jobs for maid's scheme. It
• 13:37
  Speaker 9: is something with guard rails, but it ensures that the
• 13:39
  Speaker 9: government of the day can implement their gender.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: Appreciate your time, Oliver Hartwich, New Zealand Initiative Executive directed
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: time is twenty four minutes after five. It's kind of
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: hard to argue with that, isn't it. I mean, I
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: suppose the only thing you know, you look at what's
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: his name, Pete Higgsseeth at the Department of Defense, or
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Department of War whatever they're calling it now, firing people
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: left right and send to get rid of this general,
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: get rid of that general, because I don't like them.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: They're not a yes man. They don't follow what I
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: want them to do. Good thing, bad thing. It could
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: go either way, I suppose, depending on who's in charge.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: It is twenty four minutes after five. I've got a
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: lovely story about a pumpkin that has won a competition
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: in Australia I want to share with you, but we'll
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: also talk more about the war next and loads of
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: your texts coming in on rates, especially in Wellington.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Unsurprisingly, the early.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio Power by News Talks
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: V News TALKSB.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: It is twenty six minutes after five. Let's talk about
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: the elephant in the room this morning, shall we? This
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: war in Iran has been a bit of a balls
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: up from Donald Trump at this point. He's cried wolf
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: now three times on his ultimatums. He's said one thing
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: and then in the next breath said the exact polar
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: opposite of it, and now he's talking about ending an
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: entire civilization, which again is probably bluster, but who really knows.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: White House officials have described him as being in a
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: defiant move. Walls aren't generally one on moods, they're one
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: on strategy and execution, and the game plan for Iran
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: has clearly been sorely lacking for some time. Even Nigel Farage,
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: of all people, has come out overnight said Trump's gone
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: too far with his rhetoric. Tucker Carlson, he wants the
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: military to directly disobey Trump's orders refuse to carry out
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: his bombing. The reason this is all for nothing is
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: because Trump could blast Iran's military infrastructure till the cows
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: come home and still not get every drone, every speedboat,
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: every regime loving terrorist out there, and all it takes
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: are a few of them to hold the world to
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: ransom via the Strait, as we're all learning. So Trump
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: ups the ante, He talks tough, he threatens to end civilization.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: And what have the Iranians done.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: They've cut off direct diplomatic talks with the US, which
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: means we're now in some quite dangerous territory. Remember, for
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: them to win, or claim they have won, all they
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: have to do is survive to live another day, which
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: leaves Trump either ending in an entire civilization, which surely
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: he won't do because that could end the world or
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: backing down again. Either way not a great outcome for
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: a strong man like him, Ryan Bridge, this is what
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: Farag said. So there's been two Farage stand ups today.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: One was he was talking about a local immigration policy
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: and then he did a walk about. So this is
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: what he initially said about Trump before the civilization chat.
• 16:27
  Speaker 11: Without America, we are virtually defenseless. So both the British primatis,
• 16:31
  Speaker 11: i'd say to Trump, what is the aim, what is
• 16:34
  Speaker 11: the objective, what is the end game?
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: What is the way out?
• 16:38
  Speaker 11: And provide that I received satisfactory answers to those questions,
• 16:41
  Speaker 11: I would say the continued use of our basis was
• 16:44
  Speaker 11: the right thing to do.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he does a walk about afterwards, and in that
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: time Trump has put up his truth social post about
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: ending the civilization, and Faraj says, I am quite shocked
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: just to hear that that is over the top in
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: every single way. Yes, of course he wants to threaten
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: to get them to the negotiating table, but those words
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: are well, they're way too far. This is Nigel Faraj.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: When you've lost Nigel's heir you know you've probably crossed
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: the line.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Right. It is twenty nine minutes after five News TALKSB.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: We'll head to the UK after News and then to
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Sharon Zolna on today's OCAR decision.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge on early edition with sparks for business technology
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: that keeps business moving.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: News Talk ZB.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: Pretty far away from six yer on News Talks, it'd
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: be great to have your company on this Wednesday morning.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: Talk of seven percent inflation and poor dollar diesel? Are
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: these realistic numbers or are they stabs in the dark.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: Sharon Zolna remains it on this Before six plus, we'll
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: head to the UK with Gavin Gray. Wouldn't you like
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: to be one of those astronauts further from mirth than
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: any humans being before? As Trump threatens to end a
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: civilization tonight, My goodness me, what are we doing? Here's
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: some good news for you. This is well, it's sort
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: of fun news for you. A record breaking pumpkin grown
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: in Australia four hundred and eight kilograms. It's ginormous that
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: they have to cut it round on the back of
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: a truck and they have to hoisted up with a
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: digger to get it off the ground. It is massive,
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: It's like the size of a small car. And this
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: is grower Kelsey Fremantle produce the winning giant, heaviest pumpkin
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: recorded in the competition's history. This is the Lower Calgan
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: Pumpkin Festival weigh in and second place was only two
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: kilograms off.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: They reckon.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: It's been the best year for growing pumpkins ever. Seeds
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: germinated in September, six months of growth. And the secret
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: to a giant pumpkin that you can put on the
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: back of a truck is loads of water. Time is
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: twenty three minutes away from six. Let's go to our
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: reporters around the country. Morning Callum, Morning Ryan. So we've
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: got a person overboard on a fishing trawler in the
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: South Pacific.
• 19:05
  Speaker 12: Yeah, and a team of investigators, Ryan are heading to
• 19:08
  Speaker 12: to Bluff to look into this person went overboard on
• 19:12
  Speaker 12: a fishing trawler in the South Pacific on Sunday night.
• 19:16
  Speaker 12: This was a crew member on board the Amasile Mariner.
• 19:19
  Speaker 12: They were knocked overboard by a boy on Sunday night.
• 19:21
  Speaker 12: They're still missing. This is despite efforts to find them.
• 19:24
  Speaker 12: And it happens four hundred kilometers east of the Auckland Islands.
• 19:29
  Speaker 12: The Transport Accident Investigation Commission will now head south to
• 19:33
  Speaker 12: gather evidence on this and interview the trawler's crew and
• 19:36
  Speaker 12: other local officials. They say their focus will be on
• 19:39
  Speaker 12: evidence that could disappear or change, and hearing from people
• 19:41
  Speaker 12: while their memories fresh in their minds. Right, how's the weather,
• 19:45
  Speaker 12: Rain Clears to mainly find here today? High cloud northerly
• 19:48
  Speaker 12: is the high twenty two?
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: All right, thank you Clears and christ this morning, clear,
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: good morning. So what's changed at Canterbury UNI? The student
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: bar after what went down and wind the change?
• 19:58
  Speaker 13: Yeah, well you might know of the Foundry, the university
• 20:01
  Speaker 13: bar here in Canterbury. It's had an incident last year
• 20:04
  Speaker 13: where there was basically crushing in a large crowd as
• 20:08
  Speaker 13: it surged against fencing outside the venue. At least one
• 20:12
  Speaker 13: person was injured in that incident. The University's now announced
• 20:16
  Speaker 13: it Grassroots, which is a weekly DJ gig sort of system,
• 20:21
  Speaker 13: is back this year, but it has got a change.
• 20:23
  Speaker 13: They've introduced a ticketing system. The idea around this is
• 20:26
  Speaker 13: that there'll only be three hundred free tickets available each week,
• 20:30
  Speaker 13: just to limit how many people are there. One of
• 20:32
  Speaker 13: the students who was there at the time. Lincoln UNI
• 20:34
  Speaker 13: student Georgia Doughty suffered a concussion in the incident. She's
• 20:38
  Speaker 13: really welcoming the change, she says the tragedy was easily
• 20:41
  Speaker 13: avoidable and crowd attendance was not controlled well previously. The
• 20:45
  Speaker 13: Foundry and the student Association have both been approached for comment.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: How's your weather clear?
• 20:51
  Speaker 13: Some scattered rain clearing this morning will become fine northeries
• 20:54
  Speaker 13: and a high of twenty four.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: Appreciate it, Thank you, Tabiz Macintosh. Wellington, they've got a
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: bit of rates rage there to beast.
• 21:01
  Speaker 14: Yeah, little surprise seeing this new data. A report from
• 21:05
  Speaker 14: the Wellington City Council has found rates have more than
• 21:08
  Speaker 14: doubled since twenty twelve. So the median rates bill makes
• 21:12
  Speaker 14: up four point seven percent of household incomes in Wellington
• 21:15
  Speaker 14: and pottid Or. That's actually only beaten by Totonger and
• 21:19
  Speaker 14: Dunedin businesses. They've also been crying out for a rates relief.
• 21:23
  Speaker 14: Commercial rates in Wellington are the highest compared to similar areas,
• 21:27
  Speaker 14: making up two point four percent of capital value. Wellington's
• 21:31
  Speaker 14: Chief Strategy and Finance Officer, Andrea Reeves says the council
• 21:34
  Speaker 14: so far managed to reduce its proposed rates rise from
• 21:38
  Speaker 14: twelve point seven to seven point four percent. But that
• 21:42
  Speaker 14: may not be the slam dunk the council's actually claiming,
• 21:45
  Speaker 14: because of course water bills have been taken out of
• 21:48
  Speaker 14: rates bill and are being delivered to people separately.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: To beast, how's the weather in Wellington today?
• 21:54
  Speaker 10: Yeah?
• 21:54
  Speaker 14: Rain possibly heavy to no surprise it is windy northerlyes
• 21:58
  Speaker 14: a twenty high in Wellington.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: Have a great day, Nevas and Auckland morning, Neva, good morning.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: So water Care and the boiled water notices, how long
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: are they going to last?
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Do we know?
• 22:07
  Speaker 15: Yes?
• 22:07
  Speaker 16: Well, I can tell you that the Councilor is optimistic,
• 22:11
  Speaker 16: very optimistic that Waterkere can remove the boiled water notices today.
• 22:16
  Speaker 16: So fingers crossed. So at the moment they're still in
• 22:19
  Speaker 16: place once again. Hillsborough, Mount Roskill, Royal Oak three Kings
• 22:22
  Speaker 16: they're the affected areas obviously after this e coal I
• 22:26
  Speaker 16: positive result on Monday. But look, water Care is saying
• 22:29
  Speaker 16: the results most likely due to an issue with the sample.
• 22:32
  Speaker 16: Tap Testing yesterday showed no further signs of the bacteria.
• 22:36
  Speaker 16: Christine Fletcher, the Counselor, says that hopefully the notice should
• 22:39
  Speaker 16: be removed if all goes well today, because what they'll
• 22:42
  Speaker 16: do they'll do another test. If that confirms today that
• 22:46
  Speaker 16: there's no e coalie, then as all systems.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Go, oh, very good. How's our weather.
• 22:51
  Speaker 16: Rain, rain, rain, rain clearing by midday?
• 22:54
  Speaker 15: But isn't it muggy?
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: It's very hot? Yeah, I noticed?
• 22:57
  Speaker 16: Is it twenty now and it's twenty three today?
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Very gross and sticky, Neva, thank you very much for that.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: Now that this is why people get angry, there's a
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: cole I in the water. You're paying how much you're
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: paying for rates, you know, and this Wellington's upset about
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: this vivistext in the program from STUN. I live in
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: a two hundred and eighty three square meter house that
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: I renovated here in Wellington. Not only do I pay
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: eighteen thousand dollars a year in rates with an imminent
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: further increase, I've also lost eight hundred k off my
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: QB because obviously house prices and Wellington have gone through
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: the floor. So people don't like it. And then you
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: look at what's happening with the water. You look at
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: what's happening when it rains and what goes in the ocean.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: And you think, what are we actually getting.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: For all this money that we're paying. You know, it's
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: a bit of a head scratcher. And watercre specifically U Watercre.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: Yesterday I read more than half a million dollars on
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: food and beverage meetings last year. Sorry, got to cut
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: that out. Eighteen to six News Talk ZB. We're in
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: the UK. Next US talk ZB. It is called to six.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: Great to have your company. This morning, carg Island has
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: been hit fifty strikes from the US while we've been
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: sleeping overnight now. Yesterday UR and Z was reporting that
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: Z had issued a national list price advisory for this
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: is for commercial customers, which would come into force yesterday,
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: that diesel would lift fifty five cents a liter that
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: would put it above four dollars a liter. In fact,
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: at some service stations could be four dollars sixteen per liter.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: And the cost of refining as lifted six hundred percent.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: Refining is now more of the cost than the actual
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: oil itself.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: So is this stuff true?
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: Are we going to head to four dollars plus the
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: leader for diesel? And are we going to head to
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: seven percent inflation? Which is what some journalists are asking
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: is that number being plucked down of thin air or
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: is there a basis to Sharon's onor on that plus
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: the OCI in a few minutes.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Time, International correspondence with NS and Eye Insurance, Peace of
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Mind for New Zealand Business.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: Davin Graham New k for US, Kevin will start with
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: this music festival.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Kanye is being given a big block by the government.
• 25:06
  Speaker 15: He sure has, yes, So Kanye West has been blocked
• 25:09
  Speaker 15: by the British government from headlining a three day music
• 25:12
  Speaker 15: festival in London, probably London's most popular individual festival. It's
• 25:16
  Speaker 15: called Wireless in North London, and the US rapper was
• 25:19
  Speaker 15: due to headline across the three days. Now, initially the
• 25:23
  Speaker 15: Prime Minister said that he was unhappy that that was
• 25:25
  Speaker 15: the case because of Kanye's west string of anti Semitic comments. Now,
• 25:30
  Speaker 15: West had apologized for that back in January as saying
• 25:33
  Speaker 15: he'd lost touch with reality and had a bipolar disorder,
• 25:36
  Speaker 15: but many felt that he should not have been invited.
• 25:39
  Speaker 15: Then a couple of the headline sponsors withdrew. And now
• 25:44
  Speaker 15: we learn that the government is going to refuse Kanye
• 25:47
  Speaker 15: West a visa to come to the UK. And now
• 25:50
  Speaker 15: we learn that wireless is to be canceled this year.
• 25:54
  Speaker 15: All that happening in the last of the three four hours, really,
• 25:57
  Speaker 15: but the decision to block him was welcomed by politics
• 26:00
  Speaker 15: and Jewish groups, and they said lessons can be learned
• 26:03
  Speaker 15: across the industry for inviting somebody like Kanye West to
• 26:07
  Speaker 15: come and perform.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: Now let's go to Hungary.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: So jd Vance is in town trying to give the
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: current incumbent, Victor Orban a bit of a boost. But
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: he's going to lose the selection this weekend, isn't he.
• 26:19
  Speaker 15: It's certainly looking that way. So Victor Auban has been
• 26:21
  Speaker 15: Prime Minister of Hungary for some fifteen years sixteen years
• 26:26
  Speaker 15: almost actually, and he's looking for friends to try and
• 26:29
  Speaker 15: bolster his campaign, and in steps the Vice President of
• 26:33
  Speaker 15: America JD.
• 26:34
  Speaker 10: Vance.
• 26:35
  Speaker 15: Very interesting this he's given a ringing endorsement to the
• 26:38
  Speaker 15: Hungarian prime minister. Why well, because JD Vance is probably
• 26:42
  Speaker 15: the key European ally of the Trump administration. He's also
• 26:46
  Speaker 15: the Russian President Vladimir Putin's closest partner in the EU
• 26:50
  Speaker 15: and a bit of an outlier when it comes to
• 26:52
  Speaker 15: the rest of the European Union bloc. So having won
• 26:55
  Speaker 15: four elections in a row, it looks like he is
• 26:58
  Speaker 15: set to lose Sunday vote according to opinion polls. JD
• 27:02
  Speaker 15: Vance launching a bitter attack on almost his arrival in Hungary,
• 27:07
  Speaker 15: just saying that the European Union had effectively twisted and
• 27:11
  Speaker 15: was trying to interfere in Hungary's election by using sort
• 27:16
  Speaker 15: of disgraceful tactics, as he'd called it, and that was
• 27:19
  Speaker 15: part of the reason that he'd come to visit and
• 27:21
  Speaker 15: lent his support to Victor Orbach. We will see the
• 27:24
  Speaker 15: result of that election, as I said, Sunday evening our time.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: Kevin Gray, are UK Europe corresponding? Appreciate your updates. There's
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: always twelve minutes away from six. Ryan Brichius oci Art
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: decision today post operation epic fury. This is from the
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: RB and Z economous reckon. They'll hold steady at two
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: point twenty five percent. Sharon Zolmer, a ands in chief
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: economs with me this morning. Sharon, good morning, good morning,
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: So creuch and hold today?
• 27:48
  Speaker 10: Yeah, what else are you going to do? Yeah? Yeah,
• 27:51
  Speaker 10: it's so actually ambiguous how Muntry policy should respond to this.
• 27:54
  Speaker 10: It's clearly dead, but it's also clearly in slationary bad
• 27:58
  Speaker 10: for growth. There is no right answer for monetary policy
• 28:02
  Speaker 10: really in the sort of scenario, sort of do no
• 28:05
  Speaker 10: additional harm is kind of the best you can hope for.
• 28:08
  Speaker 10: So until it's clear whether it's going to require higher
• 28:12
  Speaker 10: interest rates to head off persistant inflation or not, absolutely
• 28:16
  Speaker 10: the best thing for the Reserve Bank to do is
• 28:18
  Speaker 10: just spand weight and see mode.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: The journalist asking about seven percent inflation, I'm assuming they're
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: picking that number because that's how high we got, actually
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: north of seven percent after the COVID years. But is
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: there any reason to think it will go that high?
• 28:36
  Speaker 10: No, well, I mean not at this point here and
• 28:38
  Speaker 10: now today, ask us again tomorrow. You know, we're in
• 28:40
  Speaker 10: that kind of world. We made assumptions just to put
• 28:45
  Speaker 10: something in our updated forward us and we came up
• 28:48
  Speaker 10: with the number. But if you assume the oil price
• 28:50
  Speaker 10: peaks at one hundred and gradually clients from here, that
• 28:52
  Speaker 10: gives you something like three point six. Now, obviously that's
• 28:55
  Speaker 10: looking at that hierarque. At this point, it's looking like
• 28:58
  Speaker 10: the oil price will be higher for longer. We have
• 29:02
  Speaker 10: trumped sending posts that there's going to be civilizational destruction today,
• 29:07
  Speaker 10: So I mean that we're often terms of your forecasting
• 29:10
  Speaker 10: cecr inflation at that point. So it's really absolutely a
• 29:14
  Speaker 10: matter of weight and see. But for the Reserve Bank,
• 29:17
  Speaker 10: it's really not the point how high inflation goes. It's
• 29:20
  Speaker 10: how high it's stays, how quickly it comes down, whether
• 29:24
  Speaker 10: it becomes a medium term problem, or whether people just
• 29:27
  Speaker 10: accept it that it's a one off shift in the
• 29:30
  Speaker 10: price level and that things will get back to normal.
• 29:32
  Speaker 10: That's the key question.
• 29:33
  Speaker 17: From where they sit.
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: And are we somewhat insulated by the fact we haven't
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: been doing as well over the last few years as
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: other countries have been.
• 29:42
  Speaker 10: There's no good time for something like this to happen.
• 29:45
  Speaker 10: But if you're economy is strong, that has advantages. But
• 29:47
  Speaker 10: if your economy has been weak, then you know that's
• 29:50
  Speaker 10: got some upsides as well. In particular, they're not in
• 29:53
  Speaker 10: a very frothy time for asset prices, for example, all
• 29:56
  Speaker 10: the heats come out of house prices already, so you
• 30:00
  Speaker 10: know the chances of a crash there is obviously lower
• 30:03
  Speaker 10: from the fact that the starting point is lower. We're
• 30:07
  Speaker 10: not in the world where firms are going to find
• 30:09
  Speaker 10: it particularly easy to pass cost increases through the prices.
• 30:12
  Speaker 10: That's bad news for them, but good news for the
• 30:16
  Speaker 10: Reserve Bank in terms of keeping in slate, we're not
• 30:19
  Speaker 10: keeping inflation low, but making sure it stays low in
• 30:21
  Speaker 10: the medium term, for example. But yeah, we're seeing different
• 30:25
  Speaker 10: countries at different points of the cycle. Yeah, being more
• 30:29
  Speaker 10: or less worried about inflation for exactly those kinds of reasons.
• 30:34
  Speaker 10: But it's also true that our official cash rate is
• 30:36
  Speaker 10: starting from a very low point. So there is a
• 30:40
  Speaker 10: scenario where the Reserve Bank could decide a little bit
• 30:44
  Speaker 10: furoner than otherwise that maybe they should get it back
• 30:46
  Speaker 10: to something closer to neutral. We'll have to wait and see.
• 30:50
  Speaker 10: We're still forecasting to send er, but honestly, the range
• 30:53
  Speaker 10: of plausible scenarios is obviously much much wider than.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: It was six weeks ago, and changes on every truth
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: social pot from a certain man in the White House.

  Speaker 3: a lot of love for Wellington, but there's a lot
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: of hate for Wellington as well, and the fact that
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: their rates have doubled since twenty twelve. Morning Ryan, Wellington

  Speaker 2: It is five to six, Bryan Bridge, Good morning, Mike.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: Great learning.
• 32:01
  Speaker 17: So the first learning I thought out of the war
• 32:04
  Speaker 17: was how reliant the world is on oil, and so
• 32:07
  Speaker 17: the whole climate change things is essentially a fraud. There's
• 32:10
  Speaker 17: nothing wrong with chasing a climate change target, but the
• 32:13
  Speaker 17: idea that we've got to where we are is basically
• 32:16
  Speaker 17: meant nothing. And then yesterday your PBC News so and
• 32:20
  Speaker 17: then I'm watching this one plastic New Zealand, you know,
• 32:25
  Speaker 17: and you've never heard of it because you don't want

• 32:29
  Speaker 17: where plastic to everything's in plastic. She said, everything's in plastic.

  Speaker 17: or thirty years in terms of making the world.

  Speaker 10: Wow?

  Speaker 17: It's plastic straws and plastic shopping bags, and that's our.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Big calling card.
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: I always said, when they brought in that plastic shopping bag,
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: the single use ban, why don't we look at how
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: much plastic supermarkets use overall.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: To wrap the stuff out the bank because it's too
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: hot exactly.
• 33:01
  Speaker 17: So we're happy for a headline. So we've saved some
• 33:03
  Speaker 17: plastic bags and plastic straws, and we think that we've
• 33:06
  Speaker 17: got a few solar panels and somehow and all it
• 33:08
  Speaker 17: takes one wore one straight and the whole thing.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Did you read?
• 33:12
  Speaker 17: By the way, there's an agency who's sent a bloke
• 33:16
  Speaker 17: from New York to the Straight of Her Moves and
• 33:18
  Speaker 17: he sat there talking to people for several days. The
• 33:21
