0:12
Speaker 2: It is six after five. Welcome to your Thursday morning.
0:14
Speaker 2: Coming up on the show before six, Ruth Richardson on
0:17
Speaker 2: fiscal cliffs and black holes at the election. This is
0:21
Speaker 2: Nichola Willis's idea for starting up a costing agency. Independent
0:26
Speaker 2: costing agency Winston Seymour have shut it down. What to say?
0:30
Speaker 2: Says Ruth Richardson, will last before six. Also this morning
0:34
Speaker 2: we'll look at the Otago Central Mayor on the city
0:38
Speaker 2: deals apparently they're coming. What exactly will they include and
0:41
Speaker 2: how much will they cost the rest of us. Mitch
0:43
Speaker 2: mccan is outside the courthouse in New York City for Diddy.
0:47
Speaker 2: Not guilty on all the major charges. But will he
0:49
Speaker 2: walk free today? That is the question. It is seven
0:52
Speaker 2: after five. The agenda Tuesday to third of July. First
0:57
Speaker 2: we'll take a look at those chartsudges and exactly what
1:01
Speaker 2: he was found guilty of. Found guilty, Sorry, he's been
1:04
Speaker 2: found not guilty of racketeering, not guilty of sex trafficking
1:08
Speaker 2: his ex partner Cassie Ventura and another woman referred to
1:11
Speaker 2: as Jane. However, he's been found guilty of transportation to
1:15
Speaker 2: engage in prostitution related to both women. He's yet to
1:18
Speaker 2: be sentenced. The charge does carry a max penalty of
1:22
Speaker 2: ten years.
1:23
Speaker 1: He's up to ten years on each.
1:25
Speaker 2: I'm not sure what the sentencing guidelines are given the various.
1:28
Speaker 3: Different things, but I'll leave it up to the government.
1:30
Speaker 4: And the defense to argue.
1:31
Speaker 5: But I feel confidence saying he's still based his substantial incarceration.
1:38
Speaker 2: Trump says Israel's agreed to a sixty day seas fir
1:40
Speaker 2: in Garz that he says hmass should take the deal
1:42
Speaker 2: because it'll only get worse.
1:44
Speaker 3: So far, it's the United States that agreed to the
1:47
Speaker 3: proposed deal, but Israel has not announced yet that it
1:50
Speaker 3: has agreed on it. The most important point here are
1:55
Speaker 3: two things. First of all, that the tempora fired for six.
2:00
Speaker 2: Is will lead to an end of the wall.
2:03
Speaker 3: And the second is that there would be sufficient to
2:05
Speaker 3: go on Kei, especially from the United States, will not
2:09
Speaker 3: this is fair agreement, as they have done in the previous.
2:13
Speaker 2: Back to the US, Trump's Big Beautiful Bill returning to
2:16
Speaker 2: the House obviously made it through the Senate by a
2:18
Speaker 2: narrow margin. This is before the fourth of July deadline.
2:21
Speaker 2: The President set Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson's staying upbeat.
2:25
Speaker 2: Got to play the cards that are dealt to me,
2:26
Speaker 2: and we're working through that, talking to all members and
2:29
Speaker 2: all offices and everybody else.
2:31
Speaker 6: So but we remain optimistic we're going to land this planet.
2:34
Speaker 3: So stay tune.
2:36
Speaker 2: That's your agenda.
2:38
Speaker 1: But thusday morning, the issues, the interviews and the insight.
2:42
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge on early edition with ex Pole insulation, Keeping
2:46
Speaker 1: Keei Holmes warm and try this winter news talks.
2:49
Speaker 2: They'd be great to have your company this morning. Now.
2:52
Speaker 2: Nine nine two is the number to text. Just an
2:55
Speaker 2: interesting little tidbit on America on the Republicans and why
2:59
Speaker 2: they having such trouble getting the bill, not just through
3:04
Speaker 2: the Senate, through the Republicans there with the support of
3:07
Speaker 2: Republicans there, but through the House as well. If you
3:10
Speaker 2: look at who is supporting the Republican Party, it's quite
3:14
Speaker 2: incredible what's happened, and it's happened in a relatively short
3:17
Speaker 2: space of time. Fifteen years ago in two thousand and nine,
3:22
Speaker 2: Republicans represented twenty six of the one hundred lowest income
3:27
Speaker 2: house districts. This is according to Census start right, twenty
3:30
Speaker 2: six out of one hundred of the lowest income house districts.
3:34
Speaker 2: By twenty twenty three, they represented fifty six more than half.
3:40
Speaker 2: At the same time, Democrats came to dominate the wealthiest
3:43
Speaker 2: house districts, representing sixty nine of the one hundred wealthiest
3:47
Speaker 2: in terms of income. So that's basically what's happened is
3:51
Speaker 2: that the Republicans have gone working class or returned to
3:55
Speaker 2: working class, and hence that when you're trying to talk
3:59
Speaker 2: about cutting taxes, great, but when you're also looking at
4:03
Speaker 2: cutting Medicaid budgets and millions billions of dollars in hospital funding,
4:09
Speaker 2: when your supporters are lower income supporters, that is not
4:13
Speaker 2: a good thing. Ten minutes after five, now Rachel reeves,
4:17
Speaker 2: this is the British Chancellor. She's been crying in the
4:21
Speaker 2: House of Commons. This is during PMQ's Prime Minister's questions.
4:26
Speaker 2: She was the Tories were getting stuck in saying that
4:29
Speaker 2: she's useless and they're going to get rid of her.
4:31
Speaker 2: She's toast. Anyway, Keir Star is standing up talking and
4:34
Speaker 2: she's you look at the cameras on her behind him.
4:38
Speaker 2: She's crying. I mean she's really weeping. She's really upset.
4:43
Speaker 2: Now she has said in defense, no, I'm not going
4:46
Speaker 2: to be fire this. You know, I'm not crying because
4:48
Speaker 2: of what you're saying. I'm crying because of a personal matter.
4:52
Speaker 2: And you think, oh, what personal matter could you be
4:54
Speaker 2: crying about in the house and she is refusing to
4:59
Speaker 2: say so the Tories, I just think this is a
5:01
Speaker 2: bit much. But the Tories are going well. You know,
5:05
Speaker 2: when the Prime minister's brother died at Christmas, everybody knew
5:07
Speaker 2: about that. When our leader's dad died a couple of
5:10
Speaker 2: years ago, everybody knew about that. So you need to
5:12
Speaker 2: tell us what your personal issues are. I don't know
5:15
Speaker 2: how I feel about that. If she says it's a
5:17
Speaker 2: personal issue, you just got a It's a personal issue,
5:20
Speaker 2: isn't it. Even after five news, talk said b coming
5:24
Speaker 2: up next, we will get too much mc can by
5:26
Speaker 2: the way, after news at five point thirty, he'll have
5:29
Speaker 2: the latest on the didity trial and what's happening. He's
5:32
Speaker 2: apparently going to be let out today, but we just
5:35
Speaker 2: don't know that yet. No one's seen him walk out
5:37
Speaker 2: of the courthouse been in custody since September. That's a
5:40
Speaker 2: he had just gone twelve after five, the news you need.
5:43
Speaker 1: This morning and the in depth analysis earlier this year
5:46
Speaker 1: with Bryan Bridge and ex fol installation keeping Kiwi homes
5:50
Speaker 1: warm and dry this winter.
5:52
Speaker 2: News Talk said, be everybody's desperate fourteen after five, desperate
5:56
Speaker 2: for information on the health of the US economy and
6:00
Speaker 2: sort of staring down every knock and cranny and alleyway
6:03
Speaker 2: trying to find that information. Today there was an unexpected
6:06
Speaker 2: drop and not a massive one, but it was an
6:08
Speaker 2: unexpected drop and private sector job hiring last month, and
6:12
Speaker 2: the state's data came out overnight. This comes ahead of
6:15
Speaker 2: proper payroll data, the big release, which will be happening
6:19
Speaker 2: later today tonight our time, so we'll have that tomorrow.
6:22
Speaker 2: But that will give us an idea of how many
6:25
Speaker 2: people firms are hiring to replace the ones that have left.
6:28
Speaker 2: And if the private job data from the past month
6:32
Speaker 2: first time, it's gone backwards in a couple of years,
6:33
Speaker 2: by the way, if that is anything to go by,
6:35
Speaker 2: then tonight could be more bad news. It's caulled a
6:38
Speaker 2: past five two on Newstalk said, be remember these city
6:42
Speaker 2: regional deals. The government kept banging on about, well we've
6:46
Speaker 2: got a bit of movement here. Three regions Auckland, or
6:49
Speaker 2: Otigo and Western Bay have plenty, all agreeing on a
6:53
Speaker 2: memorandum of understanding ahead of actual negotiation for the deals.
6:58
Speaker 2: Central Otago mea. Tom Allie is with me this morning
7:01
Speaker 2: time a good morning.
7:02
Speaker 7: Good morning Ryan, Good to have you on the show.
7:05
Speaker 2: What if you actually agreed to agree.
7:07
Speaker 8: On that's a good question.
7:10
Speaker 7: We have kind of agreed to meet at the starting line.
7:14
Speaker 7: So we have been invited to the process to begin negotiations,
7:17
Speaker 7: which I guess is the first step, hopefully a promising one.
7:21
Speaker 2: Right, So is this a bit of an announcement about
7:23
Speaker 2: an announcement? They've announced that you guys are going to
7:27
Speaker 2: sit down and talk.
7:29
Speaker 7: Yeah, it is, and you know we love that in
7:31
Speaker 7: local and central government. So it's a neat place to
7:35
Speaker 7: be in. It is the beginning of a process. But
7:38
Speaker 7: we have been working on this since late last year,
7:40
Speaker 7: so it's something that has been in train for quite
7:43
Speaker 7: a few months now.
7:43
Speaker 2: If this works, it's a ten year deal. Paint us
7:47
Speaker 2: a picture. What new things will your area have? Roads, gondolas?
7:52
Speaker 2: What are we talking?
7:55
Speaker 7: I guess it could be anything and everything.
7:57
Speaker 8: We've put together.
7:58
Speaker 7: A list of sort of prime priority areas for ourselves
8:02
Speaker 7: and Queenstown Lakes District Council, supported by our regional Council,
8:06
Speaker 7: and then it'll be up to us to negotiate with
8:08
Speaker 7: the government and here kind of where they see their
8:11
Speaker 7: priorities aligning with ours, recognizing that they've been very clear
8:15
Speaker 7: that there is no new money coming, so it'll be,
8:19
Speaker 7: I guess a process whereby we figure out how we
8:21
Speaker 7: might pay for any new projects that come out of that.
8:25
Speaker 2: If you could have one project, Tom, and what would
8:28
Speaker 2: it be.
8:30
Speaker 7: Hey, we are really short on water storage in our
8:34
Speaker 7: area to manage resilience for both our towns and our farmers,
8:38
Speaker 7: so I would love to see something like that in
8:40
Speaker 7: the mix. But it is a negotiation process and we're
8:43
Speaker 7: just one of the parties there, so we'll see where.
8:45
Speaker 8: We get to with that one.
8:46
Speaker 2: Will rape payers end up after this process paying more?
8:50
Speaker 2: The government says there's no cash to throw around, but
8:54
Speaker 2: you will. There'll be visitor charges, potentially, congestion charging, special
8:59
Speaker 2: rate for certain areas, development charges. This is all sounding
9:04
Speaker 2: quite expensive.
9:06
Speaker 7: Well, and all of those sounding like they are things
9:09
Speaker 7: that rate payers shouldn't have to pay for so that's
9:11
Speaker 7: one of the things that we are looking to do.
9:13
Speaker 7: We know we have hit peak rates for our people
9:16
Speaker 7: and we are looking at tools that aren't going to
9:18
Speaker 7: be their back pockets. The idea of investment coming from
9:23
Speaker 7: outside of the region and making us a bit of
9:25
Speaker 7: a shop front for potential investment opportunities for not just
9:29
Speaker 7: New Zealanders but also overseas will definitely be something that
9:32
Speaker 7: we're looking at.
9:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm what I'm saying is at some point
9:34
Speaker 2: someone's going to have to pay for this, aren't they,
9:36
Speaker 2: And it's going to be whether directly through rates or
9:39
Speaker 2: through tolls or whatever it might be. It'll be your
9:43
Speaker 2: people that pay it, isn't it.
9:45
Speaker 8: Well, it will.
9:46
Speaker 7: But a big part of it is also around housing,
9:48
Speaker 7: and we know that more and more people want to
9:50
Speaker 7: move to this part of the country. The more people
9:53
Speaker 7: that you have, the more it's spread out. But we
9:55
Speaker 7: also know people enjoy living here for particular reasons, and
9:58
Speaker 7: we want to protect why people move share in the
10:00
Speaker 7: first place, the landscape they enjoy, the ease of life
10:03
Speaker 7: they enjoy.
10:04
Speaker 2: Appreciate your time this morning, Talma, Good luck with your negotiations.
10:07
Speaker 2: Thomas Ellis's Central Otago MEA. News Talk SAIDB just gone
10:10
Speaker 2: eighteen minutes after five. Coming up next ordering tommode getting
10:14
Speaker 2: some more cash for training staff. What exactly do they
10:17
Speaker 2: need help with? We'll find out. Plus Ruth Richardson on
10:20
Speaker 2: the show before six this morning taxpayer union chair. So
10:23
Speaker 2: she's not happy with Ironically with David Seymour, who you
10:27
Speaker 2: would have thought they would be right behind. Quite philosophically aligned,
10:32
Speaker 2: but not so on the issue of fiscal cliffs and
10:36
Speaker 2: black holes during election spending season promised season just gone
10:42
Speaker 2: nineteen after five. News Talk set B.
10:45
Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day early
10:47
Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and ex fol Insulation keeping Kiwi
10:52
Speaker 1: Holmes warm and dry this winter, News Talk sed B a.
10:55
Speaker 2: Lot of feedback to Mia we had on Central Otago
10:58
Speaker 2: mayor Thomas Ali just a few minutes ago of Ryan.
11:01
Speaker 2: There are lakes everywhere down there. Why do they need
11:03
Speaker 2: more water storage? I'm sure they figured that out, Simon
11:08
Speaker 2: Ryan Tama Ellie is an unelected mere forty percent rate
11:11
Speaker 2: increases over two years. Absolutely no clue so far, and
11:14
Speaker 2: ratepayers should expect out of these city deals nothing but
11:19
Speaker 2: more increases. Twenty one minutes after five now. Minister for
11:24
Speaker 2: Children Karen Shaw yesterday announced more money for ordering a
11:27
Speaker 2: Tamadiki staff professional training forty one million dollars for the
11:31
Speaker 2: residential workforce, who said the funds will go towards uplifting
11:34
Speaker 2: the number of staff with quote professional qualifications. Jane sil
11:38
Speaker 2: Is Child Matter CEO with me this morning. Hi Jane,
11:42
Speaker 2: good morning, Ryan, Thanks for being with me. So what
11:44
Speaker 2: exactly do the staff need training for.
11:49
Speaker 8: Well, we've known there's been this has been an issue
11:51
Speaker 8: for years. In years, it's been identifying reports.
11:54
Speaker 6: The kids who are.
11:55
Speaker 8: Dealing with are really high needs and complex, and we've
11:57
Speaker 8: known that the staff didn't have the training to know
11:59
Speaker 8: how to their needs deal with the escalate situations. So
12:03
Speaker 8: I'm happy to see the investment in the space.
12:06
Speaker 2: Okay, what exactly you know? Have we got examples of
12:09
Speaker 2: things that are going wrong?
12:11
Speaker 8: Well, we've known for a long time that the stuff
12:14
Speaker 8: went suited. They didn't know how to deal with the
12:16
Speaker 8: trauma these kids go through. They didn't know how to
12:18
Speaker 8: de escalate situations as a good one. You know, there
12:22
Speaker 8: takes a lot of one on one care and a
12:24
Speaker 8: lot of expertise to actually make a difference when you're
12:26
Speaker 8: dealing with some of our most high risk kids and
12:28
Speaker 8: we were having staff that didn't have that expertise and
12:31
Speaker 8: there was high turnover and there just wasn't any consistency
12:34
Speaker 8: of training.
12:35
Speaker 2: Right, Okay, so who's going to do all this training?
12:37
Speaker 6: Is?
12:37
Speaker 2: Are there people they're ready to go and do it
12:40
Speaker 2: once the money is free?
12:42
Speaker 8: Well, I don't know that we've had the details release
12:44
Speaker 8: of exactly who it's going to be, but my understanding
12:47
Speaker 8: is is they want to get experts in certain areas
12:50
Speaker 8: to do that. How they implement this is going to
12:53
Speaker 8: be the key. So the amount I'm I'm happy to
12:55
Speaker 8: see good investment, in fact, i'd like to see that
12:58
Speaker 8: across training right across so Old Mediki. But how they
13:01
Speaker 8: actually do that and how they make that a difference,
13:04
Speaker 8: that's going to be the key, isn't it.
13:06
Speaker 2: Well, it will be how much time they have for
13:09
Speaker 2: each case is also pretty crucial, isn't it, Because I mean,
13:13
Speaker 2: if you're going in and trying to do a quick
13:15
Speaker 2: job on a very broken child, I imagine that's not
13:18
Speaker 2: a sustainable way to go about business, not at all.
13:22
Speaker 8: It won't make any difference. It's years and years of
13:24
Speaker 8: work that it takes to actually fully support these kids
13:28
Speaker 8: to be able to make the changes that we need.
13:30
Speaker 8: So we've got five residents of New Zealand and by
13:32
Speaker 8: my calculations, about one hundred and seventy one spaces that
13:35
Speaker 8: can be filled. So they're all feel that's a significant
13:38
Speaker 8: amount of young people that we need to support long term.
13:41
Speaker 8: So it's a big undertaking.
13:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, certainly, is Jane appreciate your eye cross that this
13:46
Speaker 2: morning for us. Jane's cell Child Matter's CEO here on
13:49
Speaker 2: news Talk said b twenty four minutes after five, coming
13:52
Speaker 2: up next, Quantus stung. Well, no, no, not stung. We
13:55
Speaker 2: have been stung by a quantest and that is passionate
13:59
Speaker 2: passenger customers have been stung by a Quantus data hack.
14:04
Speaker 2: I'll give you the details on that. Also, we will
14:07
Speaker 2: get too much. McCann on the Diddy thing as he
14:10
Speaker 2: being let out today, he is apparently knelt down and caught.
14:15
Speaker 2: After the judge the jury handed over the verdict partial guilty,
14:20
Speaker 2: partial not guilty, he gets down on his knees and
14:24
Speaker 2: starts praying to God on the courtroom floor. Twenty four
14:28
Speaker 2: after five News Talks VB.
14:30
Speaker 1: The early edition full the show podcast on iHeartRadio powered
14:34
Speaker 1: by Newstalks EB.
14:36
Speaker 2: Five twenty six News Talks dB. Yesterday was a bad
14:39
Speaker 2: day for me for some of my pet peeves. I
14:42
Speaker 2: had trouble getting a car park, probably half an hour
14:45
Speaker 2: wasted there. I had to go to the supermarket, which
14:48
Speaker 2: you know that I hate doing, and Quantus had a
14:52
Speaker 2: data hack. Nothing drives me more crazy than a business,
14:56
Speaker 2: big or small, although in this case very big, asking
15:00
Speaker 2: too many personal questions of us and getting too many
15:03
Speaker 2: personal details about their customers unnecessarily. So now there is
15:08
Speaker 2: a good argument for why Quantus, of all companies, would
15:11
Speaker 2: need your details. You know, if you're flying, you need
15:13
Speaker 2: a passport number, you need your date of birth, your
15:16
Speaker 2: address in case things go wrong, et cetera, et cetera.
15:18
Speaker 2: I get that, But if they are collecting such sensitive information,
15:22
Speaker 2: our secrets and essentially the secret to our identity, then
15:27
Speaker 2: can they not keep that safe? Please? No, they can't, No,
15:30
Speaker 2: they can't. Yesterday, six million Quantus customers names, email addresses,
15:36
Speaker 2: phone numbers, birth dates, frequent flyer numbers, you name it.
15:40
Speaker 2: Apparently everything but the credit card data. Thank god. Now,
15:44
Speaker 2: if you can keep your credit card data safe but
15:47
Speaker 2: not the rest of it, then why not the added
15:49
Speaker 2: layers of protection for everything else the date of birth? Please, Honestly,
15:55
Speaker 2: at this point, who cares? The information that was taken?
15:58
Speaker 2: Is bad enough? And what will they do? Apologize? Send
16:01
Speaker 2: a letter, and then move on until it all happens again,
16:05
Speaker 2: which it will. We should have instant and highly aggressive
16:09
Speaker 2: fines for this type of thing happening. Once your private
16:12
Speaker 2: data is hacked from your third party customer service center,
16:16
Speaker 2: there is no getting it back. It can and will
16:19
Speaker 2: be used sold on the black market to gangs of
16:23
Speaker 2: losers wanting to rip us off. They've opened a can
16:26
Speaker 2: of worms for us. The sooner these guys get properly punished,
16:30
Speaker 2: and I'm not talking just about Quantus, but multinationals and
16:33
Speaker 2: big companies in particular for being so cavalier with our information,
16:38
Speaker 2: the sooner it might stop getting stolen, and then they
16:41
Speaker 2: might also start asking themselves whether they really need our
16:46
Speaker 2: personal details and so many of them in the first place.
16:50
Speaker 2: Brian Bread, wee flf to five News talks there be
16:54
Speaker 2: so we'd love your feedback on that. Nine two ninety
16:56
Speaker 2: two is the number two. I know you could just
16:58
Speaker 2: not give it to them, but then you basically can't
17:00
Speaker 2: use their services. It's like a prerequisite, a requirement. Putin's
17:05
Speaker 2: met with Machron. That were over the phone, I should
17:08
Speaker 2: say over a little zoom fell out over Ukraine. Mahron
17:12
Speaker 2: refuses to talk to Putin now he needs him. Why
17:15
Speaker 2: Iran wants him to get involved? Putin to get involved
17:18
Speaker 2: with Iran and get the weapons inspectors back in there.
17:22

Speaker 2: Twenty four minutes away from six, You're on News Talk
17:53
Speaker 2: said b this is Kanye West. And the reason we're
17:56
Speaker 2: playing Kanye West this morning is he has been barred
17:59
Speaker 2: from entering at It was not a specific request. He
18:03
Speaker 2: didn't say, I'm coming to Australia. Can I have a visa?
18:05
Speaker 2: And they said no. He has an ongoing visa because
18:09
Speaker 2: of his relationship with his girlfriend, who's Australian. She's a designer.
18:13
Speaker 2: The Janka sensory is her name. Anyway, he had a
18:17
Speaker 2: visa and the Aussie Homer Fairs Minister Tony Burke asked
18:22
Speaker 2: his officials to just look into it, and they have
18:25
Speaker 2: canceled it on the basis of Kanye West's latest song
18:29
Speaker 2: called Hal Hitler. I think that speaks for itself, doesn't it.
18:33
Speaker 2: Twenty three minutes away from six before six, Ruth Richardson
18:37
Speaker 2: on the black holes and the fiscal cliffs and budgets
18:40

19:03
Speaker 2: So will he be freed from prison? He's been in
19:06
Speaker 2: federal custody now since September. At twenty three to two

Speaker 9: morning easterly Snedan's heighth today ten.
20:20
Speaker 2: All right, thanks so much? Clear in Christia? Hey clear? Hello?
20:23
Speaker 2: Now Canterbury business confidence is leveling off.
20:27
Speaker 10: Yeah, so this is Business Canterbury's latest quarterly survey, which
20:30
Speaker 10: has found while sixty percent of respondents expect to invest
20:33
Speaker 10: in property, plant or equipment over the past twelve months.
20:36
Speaker 10: That's only a three percent increase on last quarter. So
20:40
Speaker 10: Deder and A and Z surveys also out this week's
20:43
Speaker 10: show national business confidence is increasing, but again only very slowly.
20:48
Speaker 10: We've spoken to Business Canterbury's Leanne Watson, who says, look,
20:51
Speaker 10: while things look stationary overall, there's certainly no means to
20:55
Speaker 10: suggest that it's a gloomy outlook for now, they are
20:58
Speaker 10: remaining cautiously optimistic, she says. With the Canterbury population up
21:02
Speaker 10: at forty since twenty eighteen, we're heading in the right
21:05
Speaker 10: direction and performing better than elsewhere in the country.
21:07
Speaker 2: All right, how's your Were they there?
21:09
Speaker 10: Clear rain this morning, it won't ease until tonight. Southwesterlies.
21:13
Speaker 10: It's five degrees now and the top ten today is sixth.
21:16
Speaker 2: All right, Max in Wellington, Hey Max, good morning. Now
21:20
Speaker 2: you've got a new faery coming to Cockstrait this morning.
21:23
Speaker 11: Yes, in a couple of hours. In fact, the Livia
21:26
Speaker 11: will arrive, welcomed with a tug boat spray in Oriental Bay.
21:31
Speaker 11: The tugboat's accompanying this addition to Blue Bridge's fleet into
21:35
Speaker 11: the harbor. It'll be put to action in a few weeks.
21:38
Speaker 11: It has capacity for about five hundred passengers, possibly more
21:41
Speaker 11: further down the track. It's not a new boat. It
21:44
Speaker 11: was built in two thousand and eight in Europe, has
21:47
Speaker 11: sailed for a time in the Baltic Sea. The Maritime
21:50
Speaker 11: UNI in a little concerned about how it'll sustain over
21:53
Speaker 11: the next few years, but certainly a welcome arrival. Nonetheless,
21:57
Speaker 11: a new sister for blue Bridge and straight Handz's on Omara,
22:00
Speaker 11: which is due soon to go into dry dock. Nice
22:04
Speaker 11: timing too, with the progression being made in the government's
22:06
Speaker 11: plan for the inter islander.
22:08
Speaker 2: Yeah. It's a sort of a tailor two companies, isn't it.
22:11
Speaker 2: Who can you can run them better? One's got a
22:13
Speaker 2: ship coming into the harbor, the other has one leaving exactly,
22:17
Speaker 2: that's retiring. Yeah. How's the weather? Rain?
22:21
Speaker 11: Rain all day from the morning, heavy this afternoon fourteen.
22:25
Speaker 2: Today's hey, all right, thank you Max, rain, rain go away.
22:28
Speaker 2: Michael Sergle and Auckland for us this morning morning, Michael,
22:30
Speaker 2: good morning. Now Auckland Police have got the gathering information
22:35
Speaker 2: on this newborn baby in pons and being the WHEELI bin.
22:38
Speaker 4: Yeah, the really shocking case investigations continuing after the body
22:42
Speaker 4: of a newborn baby found in a wheelban and Pontsby
22:44
Speaker 4: in central Auckland on Tuesday night. I've been at the
22:47
Speaker 4: scene this morning, where cordons have now been pulled back,
22:49
Speaker 4: but police have been gutting the scene throughout the night
22:52
Speaker 4: and will be canvassing the area today. A woman's in custody.
22:55
Speaker 4: Police are speaking to her and they aren't seeking anyone else.
22:59
Speaker 4: Detectives are seeking CCTV from residents in the street and
23:02
Speaker 4: searching other wheelibins in order to secure any additional evidence
23:05
Speaker 4: that may be relevant to the investigation. Police saying this
23:09
Speaker 4: is a real tragedy for everyone concerned, and there's also
23:11
Speaker 4: a well being issued to consider with the woman here
23:15
Speaker 4: alongside the investigation, so they will ensure the woman gets
23:18
Speaker 4: all the support that she needs. Police asking people to
23:21
Speaker 4: avoid speculation. Anyone with information can call crime Stoppers or
23:25
Speaker 4: one five Pretty.
23:26
Speaker 2: Grimm, isn't it, Michael? How's the weather in Auckland?
23:28
Speaker 4: Rain heavy at times, possible, squally thunderstorms, strong northeasterlys. Today's
23:33
Speaker 4: high eighteen degrees brilliant.
23:34
Speaker 2: Thank you just got eighteen minutes away from six News
23:36
Speaker 2: Talk ZB lots of your feedback this morning on this
23:41
Speaker 2: is you know, the big companies taking all of our
23:43
Speaker 2: data like contested and then having it taken from them stolen. Ryan.
23:48
Speaker 2: Guess what, says Luke, No business or government cares about
23:51
Speaker 2: your privacy, but they do want your data. But it's
23:54
Speaker 2: all for your safety inconvenience. Yeah right, look complete, That's
23:57
Speaker 2: exactly how I feel, Murray says Ryan. We used to
24:01
Speaker 2: live in Australia. We are already in two group legal
24:05
Speaker 2: actions against big corporates there for data breaches. Those who
24:09
Speaker 2: get caught up in the quantus one should do the same. Interesting,
24:12
Speaker 2: isn't it. I would certainly be joining that action if
24:14
Speaker 2: my thing is would you even know? Would they even
24:17
Speaker 2: tell you if your data was stolen? I just don't
24:21
Speaker 2: trust that they would. I don't trust that they'd get
24:23
Speaker 2: to everyone, not necessarily because they're malicious, but because in
24:28
Speaker 2: competence or overlooking. When you've got six million passengers affected,
24:32
Speaker 2: seventeen to six news talks, there'd b we will get
24:35
Speaker 2: to Ruth Richardson before six o'clock. Also, next Mitch McCann
24:40
Speaker 2: on Diddy, is he walking out of that courthouse today or.
24:44
Speaker 1: What international correspondence with ends at Eye Insurance, Peace of
24:48
Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business.
24:50
Speaker 2: Just on fourteen two six News talks. There'd be lots
24:52
Speaker 2: of you by the text. Machines seem to be getting
24:54
Speaker 2: off being affected by the Quantus data League. Will come
24:56
Speaker 2: to those texts shortly right now, much McCanns in the
24:59
Speaker 2: US for US Mitch, lots of attention, lots of eyes
25:02
Speaker 2: on the courthouse and Lower Manhattan for the Diddy verdict
25:06
Speaker 2: and we have one. Yeah, that's right, Good morning, Ryan.
25:09
Speaker 5: Shaun Didy Combs was convicted today on two criminal charges
25:13
Speaker 5: of the five he actually faced this morning, but remarkably,
25:16
Speaker 5: the headline really is that he escaped the most serious charges,
25:20
Speaker 5: and they were racketeering conspiracy. This is a charge that
25:23
Speaker 5: is usually reserved for mafia bosses or gang leaders. Prosecutors
25:27
Speaker 5: say he led a criminal enterprise, and the other charges
25:30
Speaker 5: he escaped were six trafficking. So there was a prospect
25:33
Speaker 5: that Diddy would be jailed for the rest of his life.
25:36
Speaker 5: Now there's the possibility that he'll be released this afternoon
25:39
Speaker 5: on a bond of those charges of which he was
25:41
Speaker 5: found guilty and may face up to.
25:43
Speaker 2: Ten years in prison.
25:44
Speaker 5: But certainly this is a win for Diddy and his
25:46
Speaker 5: defense team, and the.
25:48
Speaker 2: Crowd loved it outside from what I can hear, the
25:51
Speaker 2: people who are wearing the free Diddy t shirts. Yeah,
25:54
Speaker 2: that's right.
25:55
Speaker 5: What's interesting about this case, Ryan, is you have all
25:57
Speaker 5: the media like you had at Trump's trials last year.
26:00
Speaker 5: But also it's the middle of summer here in New York,
26:02
Speaker 5: so you've got dozens and dozens of tourists that have
26:04
Speaker 5: just turned up to watch. But you also have the
26:07
Speaker 5: element where this has become the sort of thing where
26:09
Speaker 5: social media influencers turn up with your selfie sticks and
26:12
Speaker 5: broadcast live, so that everywhere when you go over to
26:14
Speaker 5: the court, you've got to navigate.
26:16
Speaker 12: All these little live broadcasts going on. Meanwhile, you've got
26:21
Speaker 12: your own one going on here. Mitch, Hey, the big
26:23
Speaker 12: beautiful bill very quickly. Is it going to get through
26:25
Speaker 12: by Trump's self imposed deadline?
26:27
Speaker 2: Do we think?
26:28
Speaker 6: Yeah?
26:29
Speaker 5: It's hard to know, Ryan, because there's a lot of
26:30
Speaker 5: conservative conservative hardliners that are not happy with the figure
26:34
Speaker 5: that came out from the Congressional Budget Office that said
26:37
Speaker 5: it's going to add three point three trillion dollars to
26:39
Speaker 5: the national debt. Now, Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the
26:41
Speaker 5: House is they could be a vote as soon as today,
26:44
Speaker 5: but it's remaining unlikely that it's going to pass the
26:47
Speaker 5: sooner it happens, so it may be a couple of
26:49
Speaker 5: days before that actually passes.
26:51
Speaker 2: Mitch, Thanks so much for your time. Mitch bccana US
26:53
Speaker 2: correspondent time twelve minutes away from six Ryan speaking of
26:57
Speaker 2: a budget office. The Government's voted against up an independent
27:01
Speaker 2: costing this agency. This is an agency that would have
27:03
Speaker 2: let political parties fact check their numbers before making big
27:07
Speaker 2: promises and before the accusations start flying inevitably about fiscal
27:11
Speaker 2: holes and fiscal cliffs and black holes. Finance Minister Nicola
27:14
Speaker 2: Willis took the proposal to Cabinet Monday, shot down by
27:17
Speaker 2: Act and New Zealand First Ruth Richardson, former Finance Minister.
27:20
Speaker 2: Tax Payers in your chair on the show this morning,
27:22
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, Thanks for being with me. Do
27:26
Speaker 2: you are you disappointed that Seymour and Winston have shut
27:30
Speaker 2: this down?
27:32
Speaker 6: No, I'm not. I mean, let's start with the problem
27:34
Speaker 6: that the minister was trying to solve. I mean, there's
27:37
Speaker 6: a compelling case for a new fiscal institution that ensures
27:41
Speaker 6: transparency and credibility in public finance management. And why because
27:46
Speaker 6: we know the quality of fiscal management has declined, the
27:49
Speaker 6: budget deficit is structural, and the politicians gained the system
27:53
Speaker 6: so that my fiscal responsibility rules are no longer enough.
27:57
Speaker 6: So the Minister was on the right track in recognizing
27:59
Speaker 6: the action was required, but her proposal falls far short
28:04
Speaker 6: of what is required.
28:06
Speaker 2: What is required, then, do you think.
28:09
Speaker 6: Well, what's required is that we want a publicly resourced
28:15
Speaker 6: body that is independent of the executive and that ensures
28:21
Speaker 6: more formal or more informed public and parliamentary debate. So
28:26
Speaker 6: we need look no further than the Office of Budget
28:29
Speaker 6: Responsibility in the United Kingdom, a little bit like the
28:32
Speaker 6: one we've heard about in the United States, and that
28:35
Speaker 6: is a body that attends independently of the executive to
28:39
Speaker 6: economic and fiscal forecasting, evaluating fiscal targets, scrutinizing policy costings,
28:47
Speaker 6: and assessing fiscal sustainability and highlighting fiscal risks. Now that's
28:52
Speaker 6: the gold standard, and that I assume is what ACT
28:55
Speaker 6: and New Zealand first we're gunning for.
28:58
Speaker 2: So we could see a different iteration of this. Is
29:01
Speaker 2: it really going to make a big difference to voters,
29:04
Speaker 2: particularly around election time. I mean you look at the
29:06
Speaker 2: Australians have got a form of this, and I mean
29:09
Speaker 2: you still had you still had your fiscal clips, you
29:11
Speaker 2: still had your black holes, you still had a lot
29:13
Speaker 2: of uncertainty.
29:15
Speaker 6: No, Australia is not an example that we should be
29:18
Speaker 6: looking to. We should start with my fiscal responsibility rules.
29:22
Speaker 6: Understand they are necessary, but not sufficient. What do we
29:25
Speaker 6: need to fix the fiscal disclosure problems?
29:30
Speaker 11: Now?
29:31
Speaker 6: We need a gold standard institution independent of the executive
29:36
Speaker 6: that gives the public the figures that they can rely
29:38
Speaker 6: on publicly, not stupid that they know that you cannot
29:41
Speaker 6: perpetually rack up debts and run deficits that the new
29:47
Speaker 6: generation are basically saying, we're generation screwed because we have
29:52
Speaker 6: to pay the price.
29:53
Speaker 7: Of all of this.
29:54
Speaker 6: So the public are wanting figures that they can rely on,
29:57
Speaker 6: and they want an institution that's got credibility, and that
30:00
Speaker 6: institution is not a parliamentary office subject to the dictate
30:06
Speaker 6: of public servants run by the executive. They want an
30:09
Speaker 6: independent fiscal institution and that I believe is now in
30:14
Speaker 6: public domain and there is a compelling case for it.
30:18
Speaker 2: Ruth, appreciate your time this morning. Ruth richardson taxpayers union cheer.
30:21
Speaker 2: Former Finance Minister David Seymour by the Way says, basically
30:25
Speaker 2: the act Party managed to put out alternative budgets fully
30:27
Speaker 2: costed every year that they've been in opposition, never had
30:31
Speaker 2: a problem, So don't understand what the need is. He says,
30:34
Speaker 2: we reject this idea that everything a government department does
30:37
Speaker 2: is right. Nine to six News Talks be Marke next on.
30:42
Speaker 1: Your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition with Ryan
30:46
Speaker 1: Bridge and ex full insulation keeping Kiwi Holmes warm and
30:50
Speaker 1: dry this winter News Talks at be six.
30:53
Speaker 2: To six News Talks. He'd be Trumps slowly tacking off
30:55
Speaker 2: the trade deals and I mean really slowly as and
30:57
Speaker 2: he's only done one with the UK and now overnight
30:59
Speaker 2: one Vietnam. So US will charge twenty percent tariffs on
31:04
Speaker 2: Vietnamese goods. This is instead of the forty six percent
31:07
Speaker 2: that he had instituted before the freeze. A big issue
31:10
Speaker 2: for them is transhipment, so China sending stuff through Vietnam
31:14
Speaker 2: to get to America and get around tariffs. Trump has
31:18
Speaker 2: put a forty percent tariff on anything that comes from
31:21
Speaker 2: another country, goes through Vietnam into the US, so that'll
31:24
Speaker 2: hopefully take care of that problem. But you know, still
31:27
Speaker 2: looking like there's a long list of deals to be done,
31:29
Speaker 2: isn't there? Sex? Away from sex? Bryan Bridge likes here
31:33
Speaker 2: next ty Mike morning.
31:35
Speaker 13: You've seen Rachel Reeves, yes, crying worse than that, You've
31:38
Speaker 13: seen the bags under her eyes. Yeah, she's also like
31:40
Speaker 13: she's having a breakdown literally online television.
31:42
Speaker 2: Yeah. But do you think Chees says there's a personal matter?
31:45
Speaker 13: Ye, shed The claim is she ran into the speaker
31:48
Speaker 13: and they had to do. But there's something more to
31:50
Speaker 13: it than that. If you look at the bond market,
31:53
Speaker 13: because it all went on television, the bond market spiked, so,
31:56
Speaker 13: in other words, the cost of borrowing has gone up because.
31:59
Speaker 2: She's It's interesting because you had the conservatives needling her,
32:04
Speaker 2: which is fine, that's that's politics, but needling her and
32:07
Speaker 2: then she comes out and says it's a personal matter,
32:09
Speaker 2: and the conservatives say, well, when Starma's brother died, he
32:13
Speaker 2: told us about that, So you've got to tell us
32:15
Speaker 2: what your personal issues are. I mean, do we need to.
32:17
Speaker 13: Go well, well, you do in the sense of what
32:20
Speaker 13: what makes it fascinating and sad? Is that being the
32:23
Speaker 13: chancellor Minister of finance and when your market moves and
32:26
Speaker 13: when you've got you know, with every tangible economic outcome
32:31
Speaker 13: to a to a fight. You know, you just think
32:33
Speaker 13: about if you're watching Nikola Willis melt down in the house,
32:36
Speaker 13: the be all hell to pay. When there's something you know,
32:38
Speaker 13: you begining hang on here, something big anyway, Hey, listen,
32:41
Speaker 13: Jason Eldean. You love Jason. He's coming great you. I
32:46
Speaker 13: was noting before you go into the wings it was
32:47
Speaker 13: a wingsoble wany.
32:49
Speaker 2: Well, I'm going to try and get a ticket. I
32:51
Speaker 2: don't know that.
32:51
Speaker 13: I realize it's outdoors. There's quite a lot of room.
32:53
Speaker 2: It's not like they sold out. No, they sold out
32:56
Speaker 2: last year.
32:57
Speaker 13: Is that the flash seats you're talking about. I'm just
32:58
Speaker 13: talking about it general entrance.
33:01
Speaker 2: I'll take g a you know me, Okay, I'm not
33:05
Speaker 2: sitting at the back.
33:06
Speaker 13: Do you have a warning or an alert on your
33:08
Speaker 13: phone for jasonelding?
33:10
Speaker 2: I said a no, no, but I did. I genuinely
33:14
Speaker 2: set one for warbirds over one account.
33:15
Speaker 13: So what just worked me through this? If you're genuine
33:18
Speaker 13: about going to this, surely there's an element of excitement. Therefore,
33:21
Speaker 13: the element excitement supersedes any warning on a phone. So
33:24
Speaker 13: in other words, you going, oh cool, it's going a
