0:14
Speaker 2: News Talk said, be good morning, it is six half
0:18
Speaker 2: to five year on, news Talk said, b I'm Ryan Bridge.
0:21
Speaker 2: Welcome to your Wednesday Trade's. If you're on your way
0:24
Speaker 2: to work, stay tuned. I've got a question for you
0:27
Speaker 2: in a few seconds, and I really would like your
0:29
Speaker 2: answers to it. I mean normally when I ask questions,
0:33
Speaker 2: I do want your answers to it. I'm not just
0:35
Speaker 2: saying that right this morning, we have some new news
0:40
Speaker 2: for you. The government has released its emissions reduction plan,
0:44
Speaker 2: so I'm just basically going to run through some bullet
0:46
Speaker 2: points with you in a second what it actually means.
0:49
Speaker 2: One of the big things they're looking at is planting
0:51
Speaker 2: more trees. And remember they promised to plant a billion trees.
0:55
Speaker 2: Remember that was Shane Jones Ittel. I checked this morning.
0:58
Speaker 2: They've got a tracker and they can tell you how
1:01
Speaker 2: many trees I've planted so far, six hundred and twenty
1:04
Speaker 2: seven million, so not too bad actually, but they want
1:07
Speaker 2: to plant seventeen thousand hectares of natives and exotics and
1:12
Speaker 2: that's going to save our planet from burning. Apparently, we'll
1:14
Speaker 2: have more on that shortly the tradees. I'll get to
1:17
Speaker 2: you in a second with the question. Also will have
1:19
Speaker 2: the inflation prediction from an z just before six this morning.
1:24
Speaker 2: Right now it's seven after five the agenda and it's Wednesday,
1:30
Speaker 2: seventeenth of July. That new projection of the government's climate
1:33
Speaker 2: targets has been released at five this morning, revealing New
1:36
Speaker 2: Zealand will likely miss its third emissions budget from twenty
1:41
Speaker 2: thirty one to twenty thirty five, overshooting by seventeen million tons.
1:46
Speaker 2: Estimates release last year showed the country on course to
1:48
Speaker 2: hit all of its targets for all of its budgets,
1:51
Speaker 2: which paved the way to net zero by twenty fifty. However,
1:54
Speaker 2: the new government has since beenned many labor error policies,
1:58
Speaker 2: including efforts to decarbonize heavy industry and subsidize clean cars.
2:03
Speaker 2: Will have more on this in a second. The bullet
2:05
Speaker 2: points plus Michael speak to the minister. At six thirty
2:09
Speaker 2: five this morning, Former Green MP Darling Tana says she
2:12
Speaker 2: was about to allow the release of a month's long
2:14
Speaker 2: investigation to migrate exploitation allegations against her before it was
2:19
Speaker 2: partially leaked. She's resigned as a Green member, but not
2:22
Speaker 2: from parliament. She told Run News she'd give her approval
2:25
Speaker 2: to release the report, but says it now feels redundant. Well,
2:30
Speaker 2: I was about to give my approval to let it
2:32
Speaker 2: go and then the report was linked leaked. Gosh, just
2:37
Speaker 2: go away. Tanna says if she hasn't decided whether she'll
2:40
Speaker 2: resign from parliament by Sunday, she'll likely be back sitting
2:43
Speaker 2: on Tuesday. The number of house fires is up. AMI
2:48
Speaker 2: Insurance data shows between summer and winter last year, there
2:50
Speaker 2: was a twenty percent jump in fires from the year before.
2:53
Speaker 2: The most common cause was unattended stovetops or ovens, followed
2:57
Speaker 2: by clogged chimneys. AMI claims exit kit of General manager
3:01
Speaker 2: Wayne Tippetts says it's important to take every preventative step possible.
3:05
Speaker 3: One of the other important things for people to really
3:08
Speaker 3: think about is getting out of harm's way.
3:09
Speaker 4: That's what Fire Brigade.
3:11
Speaker 5: Is there for.
3:12
Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth
3:15
Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City New
3:19
Speaker 1: Zealand's furniture beds and a plan store.
3:21
Speaker 2: News Talk said they just gone nine after five. So
3:24
Speaker 2: this is James Shaw's baby. This is the baby that
3:27
Speaker 2: he birthed that we're now having to that the current
3:30
Speaker 2: government is now having to update us on. It's the
3:33
Speaker 2: emissions reduction Plan, so they have to release a plan
3:37
Speaker 2: for how they're going to meet the emission's targets to
3:40
Speaker 2: get to net zero by twenty fifty and at five
3:43
Speaker 2: o'clock this morning they have released their first one and
3:49
Speaker 2: it basically shows that we're not going to meet the
3:52
Speaker 2: all of the targets that we were on track to meet.
3:54
Speaker 2: We're going to overshoot by seventeen million tons of emissions
3:58
Speaker 2: for the twenty thirty one to twenty thirty five budget.
4:01
Speaker 2: That's the third budget. We're still on track to meet
4:05
Speaker 2: the first two, and this budget actually only applies to
4:08
Speaker 2: the second one, so by that measure, we're actually probably
4:12
Speaker 2: doing okay, and there's still time to save the third one, presumably.
4:16
Speaker 2: So they're basically relying that they've announced a whole bunch
4:19
Speaker 2: of things already, like ten thousand more ev charges by
4:22
Speaker 2: twenty thirty. We know about that. There's the city rail link,
4:26
Speaker 2: we know about that, the carbon Catcher investigation. We know
4:29
Speaker 2: about that. The news stuff is planting trees, which doesn't
4:33
Speaker 2: actually sound that new given that remember we were planting
4:36
Speaker 2: a billion trees anyway, and we're up to about six
4:38
Speaker 2: hundred odd million anyway. They want to plant seven and
4:42
Speaker 2: a half thousand hectares of native trees from twenty twenty
4:46
Speaker 2: eight and ten thousand hectares of exotic trees from twenty
4:50
Speaker 2: twenty seven, and they want the help of private investment
4:54
Speaker 2: to plant trees on crown land. Now this is crown
4:58
Speaker 2: land which isn't valuable, say for farming or for conservation,
5:02
Speaker 2: so we'll have to wait and see how that goes down.
5:05
Speaker 2: There are no policy commitments or plans when it comes
5:07
Speaker 2: to the ETS. This is according to news Talk zb's
5:11
Speaker 2: newsroom and the ETS they are relying heavily on to
5:15
Speaker 2: get through these budgets. So we'll have more reaction to
5:18
Speaker 2: that throughout the program. But also with the Minister at
5:20
Speaker 2: six thirty five with Mike Costing this morning, now very
5:24
Speaker 2: quickly insulation. The Minister is looking at a urgent investigation
5:29
Speaker 2: into our insulation standards in New Zealand. I've got a
5:33
Speaker 2: question for you, if you're a builder if you're a trader,
5:35
Speaker 2: if you're an insulation expert, please text me nine two
5:39
Speaker 2: nine two this morning and let me know. Are our
5:42
Speaker 2: requirements to insulate new homes too stringent? The Minister reckons
5:48
Speaker 2: they are. This is Chris Penk. He says that the
5:51
Speaker 2: requirements for a full bedroom house would add about forty
5:56
Speaker 2: to fifty thousand dollars to the cost of a new home,
5:59
Speaker 2: and often they are overheating homes, so they're leading to
6:04
Speaker 2: overheating issues and basically they are too cumbersome and over
6:08
Speaker 2: the top and he wants them pulled back. The Ministry
6:11
Speaker 2: reckons that the cost increase is only two point eight percent.
6:16
Speaker 2: So who's right? Does it cost that much to insulate
6:19
Speaker 2: a house to keep up with these standards and is
6:21
Speaker 2: it causing? Are they causing overheating issues? Nine two ninety
6:25
Speaker 2: two is the numbered text. We'll be back talking farmac
6:29
Speaker 2: in just a second.
6:31
Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines. Ryan Bridge you for twenty
6:34
Speaker 1: twenty four on early edition with Smith City, New Zealand's
6:38
Speaker 1: furniture Beds and a player store News Talks'd be.
6:41
Speaker 2: Just got a quarter past five. The Associate Health Minister
6:43
Speaker 2: David Seymour has released his Letter of Expectations for FARMAC
6:47
Speaker 2: Following a significant funding boost, the drug buying agency has
6:51
Speaker 2: been told it needs to deliver improved health outcomes underpinned
6:54
Speaker 2: by robust data and evidence. Seymour has also told FARMAC
6:59
Speaker 2: to hold the embedding of tententity or white hanging and
7:02
Speaker 2: its decision making.
7:04
Speaker 6: If at different New Zealands differently based on whether or
7:07
Speaker 6: not they had an ancestor who was LURI, then we
7:09
Speaker 6: want nothing to do with it.
7:11
Speaker 2: Malcolm R. Holland is the chair of the Patient Voice
7:14
Speaker 2: out Set our group and joins me. Now, Malcolm, welcome
7:16
Speaker 2: to the program. First of all, this treaty exclusion does
7:20
Speaker 2: that bother you?
7:21
Speaker 4: No, it doesn't. There was never any evidence that by
7:25
Speaker 4: having treaty provisions within pharmac's decision making process that led
7:31
Speaker 4: to MARDI access in more medicines. It was very unclear
7:33
Speaker 4: as to how it was being used, so it made
7:37
Speaker 4: from our perspective, no material difference.
7:39
Speaker 2: Apart from that, what is new in this What gives
7:43
Speaker 2: you hope that this is going to lead to actual change?
7:46
Speaker 4: It is a number of things, probably in particular is
7:51
Speaker 4: around looking at pharmic statutory objectives. So whether or not
7:55
Speaker 4: they need to retain reference to PHARMAC having a mylefic
8:01
Speaker 4: process if you like, on cost containment, looking at the
8:06
Speaker 4: Health Technology Assessment process in for FARMAIC to consider some
8:10
Speaker 4: of the savings that can occur within the health system
8:13
Speaker 4: and to the wider taxpayer as they found a particular medicine,
8:17
Speaker 4: and also looking at the separation of roles between FARMI
8:19
Speaker 4: is a procurement agency as well as the Health Technology
8:22
Speaker 4: Assessment agency as well.
8:25
Speaker 2: Okay, so there's stuff in there that gives you a
8:27
Speaker 2: bit of hope. How do you think FARMAC will respond
8:30
Speaker 2: to this? Do you think that they're up to the job.
8:34
Speaker 4: Well, it was interesting being there yesterday. Certainly, the conversations
8:38
Speaker 4: that we had with FARMA staff, they seemed overall positive.
8:41
Speaker 4: You know, I believe there was a bit of reluctance
8:44
Speaker 4: around the TI aspect of the leader of expectations, but
8:48
Speaker 4: overall I think they know that change is happening and
8:50
Speaker 4: that it needs to happen.
8:52
Speaker 2: Malcolm R. Holland's Patient Advocate, thank you very much for
8:55
Speaker 2: your time this morning, Chair of Patient Voice out at Eye.
8:58
Speaker 2: It's just gone seventeen minutes after fire clock. Very quickly,
9:01
Speaker 2: I'll update you on Thomas crooks. This is the guy
9:04
Speaker 2: who was shot by a local police after firing at
9:09
Speaker 2: US former US President Donald Trump. They've outlined the forty
9:13
Speaker 2: eight hours before the shooting happened, he went to a
9:15
Speaker 2: home depot, he bought a five foot ladder, he went
9:18
Speaker 2: to a gun store, he got fifty rounds of AMMO,
9:21
Speaker 2: and then he drove his Shondai Sonata up an hour
9:24
Speaker 2: north to Trump's rally. However, we are now for more
9:29
Speaker 2: than two days, three days even after the shooting, and
9:32
Speaker 2: they still have no idea what his motive was. They've
9:37
Speaker 2: gone through his phone, they've gone through his computer, they've
9:39
Speaker 2: gone through his search history and his bedroom. They've spoken
9:42
Speaker 2: to his friends, and there is nothing, according to law
9:45
Speaker 2: enforcement sources. It's told CNN this morning, nothing that indicates
9:49
Speaker 2: why he did it.
9:50
Speaker 1: Back in a second on your radio and online on
9:54
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New
9:59
Speaker 1: Zealand's footge Beds and a plying store.
10:01
Speaker 2: News Talk said, be just gone five, just gone five
10:04
Speaker 2: twenty and the Minister, the building Minister is looking at
10:07
Speaker 2: an investigation into whether our insulation standards are too stringent.
10:13
Speaker 2: Lots of you getting in touch this morning on this one.
10:16
Speaker 2: A lot of you saying here is correct. We manufacture
10:19
Speaker 2: our aluminium joinery. This is from Nick. Under the new
10:22
Speaker 2: H one rules, the joinery specification costs fifty percent more.
10:28
Speaker 2: And that's before you take into account the additional insulation
10:31
Speaker 2: that you need, the thicker insulation and the fact you
10:34
Speaker 2: have to change the roof design to fit all of
10:37
Speaker 2: this extra stuff. In Nick reckons it would add ten
10:41
Speaker 2: percent to the cost of a four bedroom house a
10:44
Speaker 2: new build, which is massive. More texts on that in
10:47
Speaker 2: the second just gone twenty one after five right road
10:51
Speaker 2: safety warning signs for fixed speed cameras are set to
10:54
Speaker 2: be rolled out across the country. The government hopes the
10:57
Speaker 2: move will allow key where's the opportunity to check their
10:59
Speaker 2: speed in high crash areas to avoid tickets and accidents.
11:04
Speaker 2: The rollout will take place as n ZTA takes over
11:06
Speaker 2: managing speed cameras from police. The warning signs are already
11:10
Speaker 2: going up and the AA Road Safety spokesperson Dylan Thompson
11:13
Speaker 2: is with me now, Dylan, good morning. Do these signs work?
11:16
Speaker 2: Do we? Presumably they do. We slow down when we
11:19
Speaker 2: see them.
11:20
Speaker 6: Good morning, Ryan. We expect to see a big reduction
11:25
Speaker 6: in tickets at these sites when the signs are rolled out,
11:29
Speaker 6: which means obviously that we have less people exceeding the
11:32
Speaker 6: speed limit at those high risk locations. So in our view,
11:36
Speaker 6: this is a really good thing and has been a
11:38
Speaker 6: long time coming. We're really pleased to see these signs
11:40
Speaker 6: finally happening.
11:41
Speaker 2: Okay, but that's assuming that all of the cameras are
11:43
Speaker 2: in high risk locations. And it used to bug me
11:47
Speaker 2: going to Wellington driving down not on a gorge and
11:51
Speaker 2: you know you're going downhill, so everyone speeds a little bit,
11:54
Speaker 2: But is it a higher crash area? Are the cameras
11:56
Speaker 2: and high crash areas they.
11:59
Speaker 6: Go through A pro is to establish where the cameras
12:04
Speaker 6: are going to go, and in the past has been
12:07
Speaker 6: involved with that, so they definitely have looked to find
12:10
Speaker 6: either locations with a history of crashes involving speed or
12:15
Speaker 6: areas where there's a lot of people traveling at the
12:19
Speaker 6: speed limit. No longer Gorge, I know it very well.
12:22
Speaker 6: I think one of the things people forget there is
12:25
Speaker 6: at more peak times, especially when you're coming downhill, there
12:30
Speaker 6: can be tailbacks of traffic that come and and a
12:34
Speaker 6: fuel going down there faster than eighty and it's a
12:37
Speaker 6: bit wet or something like that, and you come around
12:39
Speaker 6: the bend and there's suddenly a line of cars stopped
12:41
Speaker 6: in front of you. There is a lot of risk there.
12:45
Speaker 6: But hopefully the signs when they go up are going
12:47
Speaker 6: to help people going down now along the gorge to
12:49
Speaker 6: remind them that there's a camera there, check their speed,
12:52
Speaker 6: slow down, get a lot of the risk.
12:54
Speaker 2: Doll then't how far are the cameras from the signs?
12:57
Speaker 2: In other words, how long do you have to slow
12:59
Speaker 2: down to slow down of your Not that I'm saying
13:01
Speaker 2: you should speed or that people do.
13:03
Speaker 6: But it's going to vary a little bit depending on
13:08
Speaker 6: the environment, you know, so they'll have to adjust the
13:10
Speaker 6: signs depending on roads and intersections and what's around. But
13:15
Speaker 6: we're probably looking somewhere around two hundred meters either side
13:19
Speaker 6: as a ballpark figure. And I think just one other
13:22
Speaker 6: thing that's really important is because I hear people talk
13:25
Speaker 6: about our drivers will just drive above the speed limit.
13:29
Speaker 6: They see one of these signs, they're not slow down,
13:31
Speaker 6: and then speed up again. There is definitely a certain
13:36
Speaker 6: group of people who just try to drive as fast
13:39
Speaker 6: as they can above the speed limit. I would say
13:42
Speaker 6: those drivers already have a pretty good idea where the
13:44
Speaker 6: cameras are. What these are going to help us the
13:47
Speaker 6: large bulk of people who aren't trying to break the
13:50
Speaker 6: speed limit. They're good drivers, they're trying to follow the rules.
13:52
Speaker 6: Maybe they're just a bit distracted, Maybe they just have
13:55
Speaker 6: let their speed creep up. And it gives those people
13:58
Speaker 6: chance to just a little financial One sent reminder to
14:02
Speaker 6: take a look this campray coming out, check the speed
14:04
Speaker 6: slowly and if you need to.
14:06
Speaker 2: Dylan Thompson, thanks so much for your time, the AA
14:09
Speaker 2: Road Safety spokesperson on the rollout of signs warning us
14:12
Speaker 2: of speed cameras coming up. Next, it is Clark and
14:16
Speaker 2: Brash v Luxen. Why Luxon is right and Clark and
14:20
Speaker 2: Brash are wrong?
14:24
Speaker 1: Separating the fact from the section Kid's Billy Edition with
14:28
Speaker 1: Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and Appliant Store News.
14:32
Speaker 2: Dog ZBB twenty six, half to five. I'm not a
14:35
Speaker 2: huge fan of former pms sticking their ore into the
14:39
Speaker 2: water of current political debates. Not only are their thoughts
14:43
Speaker 2: they tend to be rooted in briefings that were given
14:45
Speaker 2: by officials years ago, back in their heyday, but when
14:49
Speaker 2: attacking a sitting prime minister. They also tend to sound
14:52
Speaker 2: a bit wingy and out of touch. This is the
14:54
Speaker 2: case of Helen Clark and Don Brash, who issued a
14:56
Speaker 2: statement condemning Chris Luxon for comments he made to The
15:00
Speaker 2: Financial Times at NATO. Luxon said a couple of things,
15:03
Speaker 2: and I'll run you through it. One, we need to
15:05
Speaker 2: call out China more for spying. Two he wants to
15:08
Speaker 2: sign a deal that would see US able to deploy
15:11
Speaker 2: military assets to the Philippines. And you'll know the Philippines
15:14
Speaker 2: has long running and regular disputes with Beijing and the
15:17
Speaker 2: South China Sea. Three he's keen on our military joining
15:21
Speaker 2: the US and Australia and conducting joint military exercises inside
15:27
Speaker 2: the Philippines. Easy. Four he spoke about New Zealand being
15:32
Speaker 2: a quote force multiplier for Australia, the US and other partners.
15:36
Speaker 2: Now Clark and Brash are tutting this, which comes off
15:40
Speaker 2: the back of the Orchest debate and wades into another
15:43
Speaker 2: long running one. And this is the thirty eight billion
15:46
Speaker 2: dollar debate. That's what two way trade between China and
15:50
Speaker 2: New Zealand is worth. Remember it was Clark and then
15:53
Speaker 2: Foreign Minister Phil Goff, who signed the FDA that got
15:55
Speaker 2: us there, and they reckon that this tough talk from
15:59
Speaker 2: luxin this so called cozying up to the US is
16:02
Speaker 2: undermining our independent foreign policy, whatever that means now, and
16:06
Speaker 2: could lead to us being punished by China at the port. China,
16:10
Speaker 2: they reckon, is no bigger Aspire threat to US than
16:13
Speaker 2: other countries. Here's the thing, though, Luxon hasn't actually changed
16:17
Speaker 2: much in the way of foreign policy yet. Plus the
16:20
Speaker 2: full Financial Times article also quotes him saying we're pursuing
16:24
Speaker 2: a balanced strategy with China on trade, renewable energy and
16:28
Speaker 2: people to people ties. What's more, the current PM is
16:32
Speaker 2: getting more up to date briefings on China's cyber threat
16:35
Speaker 2: than Clark or Brash. And when it comes down to it,
16:39
Speaker 2: most of us would agree that we'd side with America
16:42
Speaker 2: and Australia esl if war returned to the Pacific theater,
16:45
Speaker 2: wouldn't we? Isn't Luxon just laying out and saying what's
16:50
Speaker 2: realistically bound to happen, and saying all of that, Australia
16:55
Speaker 2: the hard way that poking the bear and what it
16:57
Speaker 2: can do to your exports, So it's an air in
17:00
Speaker 2: which we should tread carefully, but perhaps some are now
17:04
Speaker 2: better placed than others to walk that tightrope. We're going
17:07
Speaker 2: to talk about this in the next half hour on
17:10
Speaker 2: the program. Also more on the government's emissions reduction plan
17:14
Speaker 2: which has been released this morning, and lots of your
17:17
Speaker 2: feedback on our insulation standards with this new investigation underway.
17:23
Speaker 7: News is Next, News and Views You Trust.
17:38
Speaker 1: To start your day's early edition with Ryan Bridge and
17:42
Speaker 1: Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and a flying store.
17:45
Speaker 2: News Talk said yes.
17:54
Speaker 7: The first time.
17:56
Speaker 2: Good morning, Welcome to Wednesday. We're just joining early edition.
17:59
Speaker 2: It's to have you with me this morning. A quick
18:01
Speaker 2: update on our story we followed yesterday with Minister Mark
18:05
Speaker 2: Mitchell Police Minister. This police pay deal numbers out last
18:10
Speaker 2: night for One News showed that in the last year
18:12
Speaker 2: more than three hundred KIWI cops applied to work in
18:16
Speaker 2: the state of Queensland alone. So when you've got those
18:20
Speaker 2: numbers applying in the last year plus a sour taste
18:24
Speaker 2: after the deal that they that arbitration got them yesterday,
18:30
Speaker 2: big hard pressed to think that a few more wouldn't
18:33
Speaker 2: want to jump the ditch. Remember this is on the police.
18:37
Speaker 2: Minister has put the goal of five hundred extra police
18:41
Speaker 2: by twenty twenty five. That's next year, and we've got
18:45
Speaker 2: some leaving to cross the ditch. You've also got attrition.
18:49
Speaker 2: I'm wondering whether they should push that out a little bit,
18:52
Speaker 2: the target or the number either or to save themselves
18:56
Speaker 2: a bit of embarrassment coome election time in twenty twenty six.
19:00
Speaker 2: Coming up shortly, I'll tell you about the man on
19:02
Speaker 2: the Moon and the fact that we have apparently found
19:05
Speaker 2: the first cave on the surface of the moon. Would
19:08
Speaker 2: you actually want to go and live there? It's called
19:10
Speaker 2: a lunar pit. Apparently it's a survivable place on the Moon,
19:15
Speaker 2: on the surface of the moon. Where are you moving to? Oh,
19:18
Speaker 2: a lunar pit? No, thank you, but I'll tell you
19:21
Speaker 2: why in just a few seconds.
19:23
Speaker 1: Play light and bread rich.
19:25
Speaker 2: First, we're going to Dunedin with Emily Ansel. Emily new
19:28
Speaker 2: research highlighting the mental toll of vaping.
19:32
Speaker 8: Yes, it's highlighting that mental toll you mentioned. It's taking
19:35
Speaker 8: on young people and a targer university report published in
19:39
Speaker 8: the International Drug and Alcohol Review looks into the vaping
19:42
Speaker 8: experiences of twenty two sixteen to twenty year olds. It
19:46
Speaker 8: found the habit dominates their thoughts throughout the day, especially
19:49
Speaker 8: at school where many would make excuses to leave class
19:52
Speaker 8: in vape. A Targer University Public health professor Janet Hooks
19:56
Speaker 8: says lots of them became irritable and angry if they
20:00
Speaker 8: to delay vaping. She says it goes from vaping with
20:02
Speaker 8: their peers to getting their own device, leading to addiction,
20:06
Speaker 8: which all happens very quickly.
20:08
Speaker 2: In this May. How's the weather today?
20:10
Speaker 8: Low cloud and fog breaking to fine towards midday, cloud
20:13
Speaker 8: increasing this evening light winds with a high of eleven
20:16
Speaker 8: Thanks Emily.
20:16
Speaker 2: Claire Sherwood is in christ Church this morning and they
20:20
Speaker 2: want a new bridge and new brys and Claire they do.
20:23
Speaker 9: Indeed, Ryan and the christ Church East MP is calling
20:26
Speaker 9: on the government to come to the table to help
20:28
Speaker 9: with that. The Pages Road bridge is a critical link
20:31
Speaker 9: to the community and was really badly damaged in the earthquake.
20:35
Speaker 9: It's only ever had a temporary repair since then. The
20:38
Speaker 9: council has budgeted sixty three million dollars towards a replacement,
20:42
Speaker 9: but government funds are needed in order to make that
20:44
Speaker 9: a reality now. The MP out there, Reuben Davidson, has
20:47
Speaker 9: started a petition calling for the Transport Minister to financially commit.
20:52
Speaker 9: He says the government's ignoring the east of christ Church,
20:54
Speaker 9: which currently risks being cut off in an emergency.
20:58
Speaker 2: How's the weather looking today? Clear, low cloud.
21:01
Speaker 9: And fog this morning breaking for a time this afternoon
21:03
Speaker 9: light wins with afternoon easterlies. The high is ten and
21:07
Speaker 9: five overnightsrill.
21:08
Speaker 2: Thank you, Max toll is in Wellington X. Kiw doing
21:12
Speaker 2: quite well in the region.
21:13
Speaker 10: Yeah.
21:14
Speaker 5: Earlier this year one hundred kiwi were flown from Waikatle
21:17
Speaker 5: and reintroduced to the hills of Wellington west of the city,
21:21
Speaker 5: beyond Korori Pest free Upper Hut now saying they've confirmed
21:25
Speaker 5: kiwi roaming north of the city. A male and female
21:29
Speaker 5: captured using surreptitiously planted audio recorders. It's unknown how long
21:33
Speaker 5: they've been in the huts, but you've got a few
21:36
Speaker 5: locals claiming they've been hearing them for a few years,
21:39
Speaker 5: specifically around Whiteman's Valley, which is east of the hut,
21:42
Speaker 5: heads down towards way Uyomata. Likely they've come all the
21:45
Speaker 5: way down from the Demuttaka ranges. The important thing now
21:48
Speaker 5: getting pest trapping, keeping up with efforts, making sure dog
21:52
Speaker 5: owners get the message, keep them on a lead as well.
21:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, have you ever seen one in the wild?
21:57
Speaker 5: Not in the wild?
21:58
Speaker 2: No, not that lucky, No, neither of I. How's the
22:00
Speaker 2: weather today?
22:01
Speaker 6: Max?
22:02
Speaker 5: Cloudy with the scattered rain fourteen the high central.
22:05
Speaker 2: Thank you and never Letimno was with us in Auckland
22:08
Speaker 2: this morning. You're at morning. You're a better sleep expert,
22:11
Speaker 2: are you? I? I haven't.
22:13
Speaker 3: I've got from news reader to better sleep expert. This
22:16
Speaker 3: would be really weird for us since we're early morning people.
22:19
Speaker 3: But apparently it's sort a brief break in your evening
22:22
Speaker 3: sit down could provide a major payoff. So this is
22:25
Speaker 3: an Otaga University study, so it's compared participants who set
22:29
Speaker 3: for prolonged periods to those who complete three minute activity
22:33
Speaker 3: breaks every half hour. So what they want is they're
22:36
Speaker 3: saying that those who completed this in the evening before
22:39
Speaker 3: they went to bed sleep for thirty minutes longer than
22:42
Speaker 3: other people. So saying, you know, if you do squats
22:47
Speaker 3: at night just before you jump into bed, or you know,
22:49
Speaker 3: any nighttime activity like a walk around the house in
22:52
Speaker 3: the evening, climbing the stairs, a living room dance. So
22:56
Speaker 3: maybe if we do that Ryan, you know, and then
22:58
Speaker 3: you go to sleep, you know, then you'll sleep for longer.
23:00
Speaker 3: You'll sleep for longer.
23:01
Speaker 2: I was immediately thinking of another nighttime activity that takes
23:04
Speaker 2: about three minutes.
23:07
Speaker 3: Were you're terrible, You're terrible?
23:09
Speaker 2: Burial? Does that work?
23:12
Speaker 3: Well? I'm not sure what I was thinking, because we
23:14
Speaker 3: get up early. I mean, I was asleep last night.
23:16
Speaker 3: I was saying, to produce a leo. I was asleep
23:19
Speaker 3: at about six pem. I thought, I don't have time
23:21
Speaker 3: to do star jumps anyway. What can I say about
23:25
Speaker 3: your comment?
23:27
Speaker 2: Weather? Yes, weather areas.
23:29
Speaker 3: Look, hey, another some more fog today?
23:32
Speaker 2: For all I saw that it just doesn't go away?
23:34
Speaker 2: Does that what?
23:35
Speaker 3: Eriie?
23:35
Speaker 2: Doesn't it?
23:36
Speaker 3: Fifteen's the high though.
23:37
Speaker 2: Bit of rain. There you go, Thank you very much.
23:40
Speaker 2: We'll all get a good night's sleep tonight, won't we.
23:43
Speaker 2: It's eighteen away from six, sixteen minutes away from six.

24:56
Speaker 1: for New Zealand business.
25:00
Speaker 2: Light to Gevin Gray are europe correspondent this morning, given
25:02
Speaker 2: good morning, we seem to be having a problem getting
25:07
Speaker 2: given on. We are going to talk Togevin in just
25:10
Speaker 2: a few moments about some Indian farm laborers who have
25:15
Speaker 2: been freed from quote slave like conditions. And we're not
25:19
Speaker 2: quite sure exactly what those conditions are, but we can
25:23
Speaker 2: join Geven now for the latest. Kevin, good morning, right,
25:27
Speaker 2: what exactly are they talking about slave like conditions?
25:30
Speaker 10: Well, because they were working ten to twelve hours a day,
25:33
Speaker 10: seven days a week. They were housed in a really
25:36
Speaker 10: rundown apartment said to be extremely unhygienic, and were paid
25:40
Speaker 10: at roughly six New Zealand dollars per hour. And the
25:44
Speaker 10: problem for many of these Indian farm laborers is that
25:47
Speaker 10: when they arrived in Italy having been promised work visas,
25:51
Speaker 10: their passports were taken off them. They were not given
25:54
Speaker 10: any documentation and many arrived in debt and yes you guessed,
25:58
Speaker 10: they weren't ever earning an to pay off the debt
26:01
Speaker 10: and the interest. And that is why two men, also
26:04
Speaker 10: Indian nationals, have been arrested. When they were arrested Ryan,
26:08
Speaker 10: they had over three quarters of a million Ossie dollars
26:11
Speaker 10: in cash on them. It's big, big money, and these
26:15
Speaker 10: I'm afraid these gangs operate in These slave conditions are
26:19
Speaker 10: pretty common both Italian and migrants in Italy, and I'm
26:23
Speaker 10: afraid they're often representing many thousands of people in fields, vineyards,
26:27
Speaker 10: greenhouses across the country. Indeed, just last month, an Indian
26:31
Speaker 10: fruit picker died after his arm was seven in a
26:34
Speaker 10: workplace accident. Instead of taking into the hospital, he was
26:38
Speaker 10: just left by the side of the road where he died.
26:42
Speaker 10: So as you can imagine some pretty awful scenes about
26:45
Speaker 10: how they're treated and the group these thirty three workers
26:49
Speaker 10: are now being looked after by social services and those
26:52
Speaker 10: with migrants support.
26:53
Speaker 2: God, that's terrible. Let's go to Dublin. What's happening with
26:56
Speaker 2: this protest?
26:58
Speaker 10: Well, I'm afraid back to these situation of asylum seekers
27:01
Speaker 10: and migration here because as you know, Ireland prides itself
27:05
Speaker 10: on an open door, welcome to migrants. Well, it's suddenly
27:09
Speaker 10: been inundated with welcome, open door for migrants, I think
27:13
Speaker 10: partially possibly because the UK seems to be getting tougher
27:17
Speaker 10: on it. At least it was under the previous government.
27:20
Speaker 10: And what happened is there was a protest. There quite
27:23
Speaker 10: a violent protest outside of site in North Dublin that
27:27
Speaker 10: has been set aside for housing some of the asylum seekers.
27:32
Speaker 10: Protesters gathered, set palettes on fire, some construction machinery on
27:36
Speaker 10: fire as well, and also attacked police with rocks. Police
27:40
Speaker 10: fired back trying to quell them, but several officers were injured,
27:44
Speaker 10: with more than two hundred guardians it known or police
27:47
Speaker 10: officers deployed to the incidents. Three of the police cars
27:51
Speaker 10: were damaged and one of which was set on fire. Now,
27:55
Speaker 10: all of this is because some people are saying that
27:59
Speaker 10: there are Irish nationals who can't get housing, they can't
28:03
Speaker 10: afford housing, they are homeless, and yet they claim new
28:07
Speaker 10: asylum seek as a given priority on the housing list.
28:10
Speaker 10: The government says that's not the case. But we have
28:12
Speaker 10: to welcome migrants and we indeed have to welcome them
28:16
Speaker 10: up to certain standards. So a great deal of tension
28:19
Speaker 10: and not the first time there's been violence on the
28:21
Speaker 10: streets of Dublin recently when trying to sort these situations.
28:25
Speaker 2: Out, too true, Gavin, thank you so much for that.
28:28
Speaker 2: That's our UK and Europe correspondent Devin Gray. It is
28:32
Speaker 2: eleven to six, Ryan Bridge, Right, it is CPI DA
28:36
Speaker 2: yay everybody. It's sinfation data for quarter two that will
28:40
Speaker 2: be released by Stats New Zealand at ten forty five
28:43
Speaker 2: this morning, so stay tuned for that. On news talk,
28:45
Speaker 2: se'd be most banks are expecting a slight drop, but
28:48
Speaker 2: what does it mean for consumers and what does it
28:50
Speaker 2: mean for your mortgage? Joining me now is a and
28:52
Speaker 2: Z economist and CPI forecaster Henry Russell. Henry, good morning,
28:57
Speaker 2: Good morning. What would trigger right, well, what number do
29:01
Speaker 2: we do we need to trigger a rate cut? Do
29:04
Speaker 2: you reckon?
29:06
Speaker 11: Well, it's pretty hard to put a number on it.
29:08
Speaker 11: We're going to have to see what the data brings
29:11
Speaker 11: today and have a look at the details. But in
29:12
Speaker 11: terms of what we are expecting, it is good news.
29:16
Speaker 11: Inflation is expected to fall from four percent to three
29:19
Speaker 11: point three percent. That is below what the Reserve Bank
29:22
Speaker 11: expected back in May they forecast three point six percent,
29:26
Speaker 11: But that does show inline inflation is falling a little
29:29
Speaker 11: fast than they expected, but a lot of that reflects
29:31
Speaker 11: weakness across volatile components, so things like food prices, fuel
29:35
Speaker 11: and the a FIRS. And the Reserve Bank doesn't really
29:37
Speaker 11: have a lot of influence over these things, and so
29:40
Speaker 11: really what they'll be focusing on is domestic inflation or
29:43
Speaker 11: non tradable inflation. There we're actually expecting the same outcome
29:47
Speaker 11: of the Reserve Bank. That's not to say that that
29:50
Speaker 11: would mark progress, it would end the Preserve banks run
29:54
Speaker 11: four consecutive upward surprises since it went on hold. But
29:58
Speaker 11: we just think it's slightly too early for that to
30:01
Speaker 11: give the green light for an imminent oci cut as
30:03
Speaker 11: soon as August.
30:04
Speaker 2: So you're saying non basically holding non tradable steady would
30:09
Speaker 2: be a win.
30:10
Speaker 11: So we're expecting it to fall from five point eight
30:13
Speaker 11: to five point three percent, So it is falling and
30:15
Speaker 11: the quarterly run rate would be closing in on what's
30:19
Speaker 11: consistent with inflation at target. But yeah, it does seem
30:24
Speaker 11: like a stretch for a cut to come in August,
30:26
Speaker 11: but certainly the risks are tilting towards a cut being
30:29
Speaker 11: delivered this year. But we'll have to see what the
30:32
Speaker 11: data brings today.
30:33
Speaker 2: Do we need more I mean, do we need quarter
30:35
Speaker 2: three data before making any decisions or with the Reserve
30:39
Speaker 2: Bank need quarter three data before making decisions on that,
30:41
Speaker 2: or could could it potentially be based off just quarter
30:44
Speaker 2: one and two.
30:46
Speaker 11: I think they will like to see the Q three
30:48
Speaker 11: data just in the sense that that is likely to
30:51
Speaker 11: be to confirm that inflation is back within the one
30:54
Speaker 11: to three percent target band. But look, there's no denying
30:58
Speaker 11: recent economic dary has been very very soft in New Zealand.
31:02
Speaker 11: The housing market is cooling, the labor markets weakening, consumer
31:06
Speaker 11: spending as in the business surveys are telling us that
31:09
Speaker 11: businesses are under pressure. But importantly they're also telling us
31:13
Speaker 11: that businesses are no longer able to raise their prices
31:17
Speaker 11: due to week demand, and that cost pressures are moderating.
31:19
Speaker 11: All these things are adding to our confidence that inflation
31:23
Speaker 11: is heading back to target and it's likely to stay there.
31:27
Speaker 11: But we really do need to see those dynamics present
31:29
Speaker 11: in the inflation data today to confirm that.
31:34
Speaker 2: Henry, Thank you for that. Henry Russell, the ain Z
31:36
Speaker 2: economist and CPI forecast ahead of the announcement by stats
31:40
Speaker 2: n Z our latest inflation data at ten forty five
31:44
Speaker 2: this morning. Mike Hosking is with us next. We're also
31:47
Speaker 2: looking brief look a relook, I should say at Helen
31:51
Speaker 2: Clark and Don Brash's statement on luxen.
31:55
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge new for twenty twenty four on Earl Vision
31:59
Speaker 1: with Smith's New Zealand's Furniture Beds and a player store
32:02
Speaker 1: News Talk Siddy.
32:04
Speaker 2: Five away from six. Mike Hosting is with you next.
32:07
Speaker 2: Very quickly though, Helen Clark and Don Brash and their
32:10
Speaker 2: statement against well not against Luxon, but about Luxon and
32:13
Speaker 2: his views on China and the US. They say, why
32:16
Speaker 2: are we making such a big deal about China spying
32:19
Speaker 2: on New Zealand. It's not the only country that spies
32:21
Speaker 2: on New Zealand, It's not the only government that spies
32:24
Speaker 2: on other countries. Why is it such a big deal.
32:27
Speaker 2: I don't know. I would have thought, if you listen
32:29
Speaker 2: to our security agencies, that there is a big deal
32:32
Speaker 2: to be made of China spying on us, and not
32:34
Speaker 2: not only our government, but our companies as well, some
32:37
Speaker 2: of our businesses. Right, Mike Hosting is here. What's on
32:40
Speaker 2: the big show today?
32:41
Speaker 12: Well, we'll do the CPI, of course, and get some
32:43
Speaker 12: projections around what it means and how it's going to
32:45
Speaker 12: affect us and whether or not any of this carnage
32:47
Speaker 12: economically is going to end anytime soon. Nigel Avery, remember him,
32:51
Speaker 12: He's the shift and mission these days for big weightlifter.
32:55
Speaker 12: He's a shift mission these days for the Olympic Games.
32:58
Speaker 2: Good bloke.
32:58
Speaker 12: Anyway, he's in Paris, so he's set to go. The
33:01
Speaker 12: athletes haven't arrived yet, but that's about nine days away,
33:03
Speaker 12: so we'll talk to him about and he's just come
33:05
Speaker 12: back from dinner and wandering past the sin of course,
33:08
Speaker 12: as everyone wonders whether or not they're going to leap,
33:11
Speaker 12: And imagine if you're a triathlete and they at the
33:14
Speaker 12: last minute the game, you realize that if they can't
33:17
Speaker 12: swim in the Sin river, they're going to turn it
33:18
Speaker 12: into a dew athlon. So in other words, well, yeah,
33:22
Speaker 12: so one event just disappears. So imagine if you're a
33:26
Speaker 12: imagine if you're a strong swimmer and suddenly they go
33:29
Speaker 12: by the way, the river's too dirty, so you won't
33:31
Speaker 12: be doing the swimming. But and suddenly you've got to
33:33
Speaker 12: run and bike and that's all you can do. That's
33:35
Speaker 12: your Olympic dream shot.
33:37
Speaker 2: I saw there was a there was a government French
33:39
Speaker 2: government minister and the.
33:41
Speaker 12: Mayor is going to what's today here Wednesday tomorrow, So
33:44
Speaker 12: the mayor is going to go tomorrow. Macron said. He
33:46
Speaker 12: would also go in, but you know that's it's that's
33:49
Speaker 12: not the triathlon. There's yeah, differently towing a river's not
33:51
Speaker 12: really different anyway, Nigel avery Is, I'm going to be
33:54
Speaker 12: with us among other people after seven to thirty.
33:56
Speaker 2: Thanks so much, Mike Costing with you after six o'clock
