0:09
Speaker 1: moving news talks.
0:10
Speaker 2: They'd be good morning six half for five on your Tuesday.
0:13
Speaker 2: Great to have your company. We'll look at this thirty
0:14
Speaker 2: billion dollar data center pitch, even though Amazon didn't want
0:17
Speaker 2: to build one. Here will someone else fund it? We
0:20
Speaker 2: will go to Donner in Australia. We'll look at the
0:22
Speaker 2: India Business Council. They reckon the Indie FDA already showing
0:25
Speaker 2: signs of growth in the economy even though the thing's
0:27
Speaker 2: only just been signed and hasn't come into force yet.
0:30
Speaker 2: We'll also talk to fed farmers about the Green's latest
0:32
Speaker 2: wacky policy. Good morning.
0:35
Speaker 1: The agenda.
0:36
Speaker 2: Who's that the seventh of July is fee for dirty
0:39
Speaker 2: and under Trump's thumb, this is the question the American
0:41
Speaker 2: striker red card suspension overturned and Trump admits that he
0:45
Speaker 2: got on the blow of the fee for boss about it.
0:47
Speaker 3: These were two great athletes that got tangled up and
0:53
Speaker 3: this referee who is a little bit suspect if you
0:56
Speaker 3: check his past. I don't want to say that because
0:59
Speaker 3: they don't like to. Can't you, Rishie? How do you
1:02
Speaker 3: panalize them for a game that hasn't been played yet.
1:04
Speaker 3: It's very unfair. You can't do with that show. Yes,
1:07
Speaker 3: I asked for a review.
1:08
Speaker 2: By now the fief of Boss has nothing to see here.
1:12
Speaker 2: The review and the overturn based on evidence, not on
1:16
Speaker 2: a politicians say. So, let's go to the UK Foreign
1:20
Speaker 2: Secretary there of Itt Cooper has commented on the idea
1:22
Speaker 2: that there's a bit of a boys club at Number
1:24
Speaker 2: ten Downing Street. This comes after the Deputy Labor Party
1:28
Speaker 2: leader Lucy Powell said she had some unpleasant experiences I preven.
1:34
Speaker 4: At a respond to boysy public commentary and briefings. We're
1:40
Speaker 4: seen going back thirty years and so that I think
1:45
Speaker 4: we've seen for a long time. I think it's really
1:48
Speaker 4: welcome that Andy has said he wants to end that
1:51
Speaker 4: culture because I think the focus should be on the country.
1:54
Speaker 2: What does that mean? Boisy comments? Anyway, after months of speculation,
1:59
Speaker 2: Sky and staying in the UK, Sky UK is going
2:01
Speaker 2: to swallow ITV their media business one point six billion
2:05
Speaker 2: pounds that's three point six billion New Zealand dollars. That
2:08
Speaker 2: gets the green light because they need one. It'll be
2:11
Speaker 2: the UK's biggest commercial broadcaster.
2:13
Speaker 5: From a viewing standpoint, we are committing to making sure
2:16
Speaker 5: that the ITV shows that consumers love today continue to
2:20
Speaker 5: be free and we'll be able to put some of
2:23
Speaker 5: Sky's extraordinary portfolio of sports rates into the free service,
2:28
Speaker 5: so to really build fandom for certain keysports.
2:31
Speaker 2: They and more drama with Harry. Just get over there
2:33
Speaker 2: to London and just do your charity stuff and go home.
2:36
Speaker 2: We're sick of hearing about it. Buckingham Pallace says he
2:38
Speaker 2: was invited to stay. Harry said he would stay, and
2:41
Speaker 2: then they said you're too late to stay, and now
2:43
Speaker 2: he's saying that it's a shame I can't stay.
2:46
Speaker 6: We understand that the office offered obviously be made for
2:49
Speaker 6: the Duke of Sussex to have access to a royal residence.
2:52
Speaker 6: Buckingham Palace was the one. This was an offer that
2:56
Speaker 6: was accepted by the Duke of Sussex. Understand for the
3:01
Speaker 6: Palace's point of view, it was accepted too late. There
3:04
Speaker 6: wasn't enough time to sort out the hospitality and to
3:07
Speaker 6: sort out the staffing for that accommodation.
3:12
Speaker 1: News and Views you trust to start your day, It's
3:16
Speaker 1: early edition with Ryan Bridge and spark for business technology
3:20
Speaker 1: that keeps business moving, hues talks.
3:22
Speaker 2: It'd be nine after five nine two ninety two is
3:25
Speaker 2: the number to text. Now, do we care about the
3:27
Speaker 2: Chinese firing and ICBM? It was a dummy warhead but
3:31
Speaker 2: nuclear capable, but a dummy into the Pacific Ocean? Do
3:35
Speaker 2: we care? The last time they did this was twenty
3:38
Speaker 2: twenty four. Yeah, we probably do care because it's an
3:41
Speaker 2: intercontinental ministic bissile ballistic missile. Forgive me, Yeah, we do care.
3:47
Speaker 2: But how much do we care? Probably not that much.
3:50
Speaker 2: They so they recon it's to do with this deal
3:52
Speaker 2: that Australia signed with Fiji. But the other thing that's
3:55
Speaker 2: going on right now that no one's talking about is RIMPACK,
3:57
Speaker 2: which is the US lead literary exercise which is happening
4:01
Speaker 2: right now. It's been happening since the end of June.
4:04
Speaker 2: It goes through until the end of July. So is
4:07
Speaker 2: it to do with what the Australians signed with Fiji,
4:10
Speaker 2: or is it to do with Rimpack or is it
4:12
Speaker 2: to do with both? Who knows because it's a guessing
4:14
Speaker 2: game because they haven't specifically said why they've done it.
4:17
Speaker 2: They've just said that they've done it and CCTV which
4:20
Speaker 2: is the estate media or CGTN they now call themselves,
4:23
Speaker 2: which is their state media, rut thet They've put photos
4:25
Speaker 2: out about that confirmed it's happened, they just don't say
4:29
Speaker 2: exactly why. It's apparently a JL three intercontinental ballistic missile,
4:34
Speaker 2: first launch on one of those since twenty four And
4:37
Speaker 2: the fact if you look at the agreement between the
4:39
Speaker 2: Australians and the Fijians, it is interesting because they agree
4:42
Speaker 2: to act to meet the common danger if either is attacked. Now,
4:47
Speaker 2: for Fiji, this is actually their first defense alliance. That's
4:52
Speaker 2: not insignificant. For the Aussies, it's their fourth. Of course,
4:55
Speaker 2: they have one with us. They have one with the US,
4:58
Speaker 2: and they have one with puppin Guinea, and now they
5:00
Speaker 2: have one with Fiji. And the next question everyone's going
5:03
Speaker 2: to be asking is does New Zealand join the Australia
5:08
Speaker 2: Fiji agreement because at the moment we only really have
5:11
Speaker 2: one with the Aussies. If the Aussies are attacked and
5:14
Speaker 2: presumably we would get involved. But here's a question for you,
5:17
Speaker 2: do you want New Zealand to be involved in stuff
5:19
Speaker 2: like this or do you just want us to trade
5:22
Speaker 2: and shut up nine two nine two, because I do
5:27
Speaker 2: we want to look like we're close to China in
5:29
Speaker 2: the Pacific? Not really? Do we want to look like
5:31
Speaker 2: we're too close to the US and the Pacific? Not really?
5:33
Speaker 2: I mean, are they going to come to our aid?
5:35
Speaker 2: We don't even let the nuclear powered warships in here
5:37
Speaker 2: for goodness sake. I think we should be more like
5:40
Speaker 2: the Switzerland of the Pacific, you know, where we trade
5:43
Speaker 2: with anyone and fight with no one. Nine nine two.
5:47
Speaker 2: It is twelve after five.
5:49
Speaker 1: Brian Bridge out next.
5:50
Speaker 2: The Greens have a policy and very light on detail.
5:55
Speaker 2: I'll explain more next and we'll get reaction. News Talk

6:15
Speaker 1: five fourteen.
6:16
Speaker 2: Lewis is involved. Ryan, How on earth would New Zealand
6:19
Speaker 2: get involved and how on earth would New Zealand make
6:22
Speaker 2: a difference if there was going to be some kind
6:23
Speaker 2: of conflict in the Pacific. What would we do make
6:26
Speaker 2: their lunches? Well, to be fair, we did our Poseidon's
6:33
Speaker 2: the other day. Did you see that story? It was
6:35
Speaker 2: last week fired a harpoon missile at from an aircraft
6:41
Speaker 2: at a sort of destroyed carrier as part of the
6:45
Speaker 2: Impact Pacific exercises that were going on. So we actually
6:48
Speaker 2: did shoot a missile the other day, so we're not
6:51
Speaker 2: completely useless, although we did borrow it from the Australians
6:55
Speaker 2: because we didn't have any of our own. The very
6:56
Speaker 2: expensive things caught a past five Ryan Bridge, the number six.
7:01
Speaker 2: So another policy drop from the Greens. Will be ecstatic
7:04
Speaker 2: to know. They want to ban on synthetic fertilizers on
7:07
Speaker 2: farms to help clean up waterways. They want to reduce
7:10
Speaker 2: the number of cows. They're also pushing to end bottom trawling.
7:13
Speaker 2: Here is Madam and Davidson.
7:15
Speaker 5: We just need to stop buying into this whole concept
7:17
Speaker 5: of ruining our rivers is the only way to make
7:20
Speaker 5: a buck.
7:21
Speaker 4: We can totally reject that, and that is what the
7:23
Speaker 4: Greens are doing today.
7:24
Speaker 2: Simon Cameron, fed Farmer's West Coast President, Simon, good morning,
7:29
Speaker 2: how are you very well? Thank you? Just to do
7:33
Speaker 2: the Greens have a point that it is intensive farming
7:37
Speaker 2: that has caused a lot of our rivers to be unswimmable,
7:40
Speaker 2: like as a basic fact. Is that wrong?
7:44
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean yeah, you'd certainly challenge it is looking
7:48
Speaker 7: around Wellington and Auckland, where's that Issu're coming from?
7:51
Speaker 2: Well, that's outfit, that's out literally our own waste. But
7:54
Speaker 2: in rural New Zealand, you know they reckon half the
7:58
Speaker 2: rivers are because of nitrates and stuff that we've got
8:01
Speaker 2: run off that's come from farms. Are they wrong in
8:05
Speaker 2: saying that?
8:08
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean there's I would challenge it, there's and
8:10
Speaker 7: there's Yeah, there's been issues in the past, but you
8:13
Speaker 7: look at where where we've come from. We're certainly making
8:15
Speaker 7: bigger roads and proving things a heck of a lot.
8:19
Speaker 7: We've got one hundred and ninety kilogram per year per
8:22
Speaker 7: year careful on these things now, so we're catchment groups
8:26
Speaker 7: are done a phenomenal job rperio and plantings. Yeah, I
8:30
Speaker 7: think we're heading in the right direction. We've done a
8:32
Speaker 7: lot in the last dec order two decade of two.
8:35
Speaker 2: And if you read their policy document, they say simon
8:39
Speaker 2: that it's basically unchecked in environmental vandalism that's going on.
8:43
Speaker 2: You're saying that it's not unchecked we have limits, we
8:46
Speaker 2: have rules, there are standards.
8:49
Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely, that's ridiculous. That is absolutely checked. And we've
8:53
Speaker 7: come a very very long way. Look, technology has come
8:56
Speaker 7: a long way. Everyone's sort of picked that up and
8:58
Speaker 7: it implemented it from wear precision agg We're a lot
9:01
Speaker 7: more careful in how we use it. We're using a
9:03
Speaker 7: lot less of it, to be honest, from what we
9:06
Speaker 7: were a few years ago. And I mean, what do
9:09
Speaker 7: they want us to do, because by phasing it out,
9:12
Speaker 7: you're going to reduce what this country can produce by
9:15
Speaker 7: at least twenty five percent. We're an export nation down
9:17
Speaker 7: to the bottom of South Pacific. What are you going
9:20
Speaker 7: to do for anything to the country.
9:21
Speaker 2: I mean, that is the fundamental question. So twenty five
9:24
Speaker 2: percent you reckon? So is that the nitrate? At least
9:27
Speaker 2: that the synthetic nitrogen fertilizer. If you get rid of that,
9:31
Speaker 2: if you ban that, that's twenty five percent at least
9:34
Speaker 2: of industry that's gone.
9:36
Speaker 7: Yeah, at least, right, So everything, it all starts with
9:40
Speaker 7: the seed, but it needs the nutrients to grow. And
9:41
Speaker 7: every time you grow something, you know, if you're an
9:44
Speaker 7: arable farmer, for example, what doesn't mean if you're growing grass, wheat, corn,
9:49
Speaker 7: mung beans. It doesn't matter if you grow something, you
9:51
Speaker 7: take it away. Whether you've grazed it, we've harvest it.
9:54
Speaker 7: You're taking nutrients from the soil. You've got to replenish
9:57
Speaker 7: it up.
9:57
Speaker 2: So Simon Good TV on the Simon Cameron fed Farmer's
10:01
Speaker 2: West Coast President with us this morning. Time is eighteen
10:03
Speaker 2: minutes after five. I don't know what to tell you.
10:06
Speaker 2: I printed off the Greens release this morning. No, not
10:09
Speaker 2: just the release. I clicked on the see our policy
10:12
Speaker 2: page and it is four pages that have printed off
10:16
Speaker 2: for me. Two of the pages are pictures. Actually I lie.
10:20
Speaker 2: So the first page is a picture of a river,
10:22
Speaker 2: The second page, half of the page is a picture
10:25
Speaker 2: of another river. The third page you've got seventy five
10:28
Speaker 2: percent writing, and then on the back end, your fourth
10:32
Speaker 2: page is just a giant Green Party logo, which they
10:36
Speaker 2: will love the fact I've printed off on hard copy.
10:39
Speaker 2: So you have one and a half pages destroying, potentially
10:44
Speaker 2: destroying twenty five percent of our biggest exporting industry. Now
10:48
Speaker 2: is that a smart thing to say? This is the
10:50
Speaker 2: problem the Greens have And I will come back to
10:53
Speaker 2: this at in about seven minutes time. But it's all
10:56
Speaker 2: very well to say this is what we shouldn't do,
10:58
Speaker 2: this is what we can we can't do, But what
11:01
Speaker 2: do we do to feed ourselves? Five nineteen News Talks

11:23
Speaker 2: at Ukraine. If you think anyone is going to come
11:25
Speaker 2: to New Zealand's rescue, that is exhibit A. George, very
11:28
Speaker 2: good point. We're going to speak to donnad To Mayo
11:30
Speaker 2: for Australia reaction to that Chinese missile that came into
11:33
Speaker 2: the Pacific yesterday. First Government says export is here already
11:37
Speaker 2: experiencing a halo effect of the India FTA. They've put
11:40
Speaker 2: out a press release about this. Apply exports to India
11:43
Speaker 2: up sixty three percent on last season. Key we for
11:45
Speaker 2: a grower set for big tariff savings. Edwin Paul, India
11:49
Speaker 2: Business Council Chair with us this morning. It was good morning,
11:52
Speaker 2: good mining Graham. Now look I'm all for this FTA
11:56
Speaker 2: but to try and claim we're already having some kind
11:59
Speaker 2: of impact from it before all the things even you know,
12:01
Speaker 2: passed into law surely is a stretch.
12:04
Speaker 8: Oh, I would beg to disagree, because business is all
12:10
Speaker 8: about confidence the contents that the market displaced. So Ever,
12:14
Speaker 8: since the talk of the FTA came in, the visitor
12:18
Speaker 8: arrivals to New Zealand increase people, we've seen delegations happening
12:22
Speaker 8: back and forth. I'm not surprised, and I think the
12:26
Speaker 8: term halo is quite right. We are. Time is too
12:29
Speaker 8: early to count the numbers exactly, but we are seeing
12:33
Speaker 8: the impact already.
12:35
Speaker 2: And we've I mean, you're rap, we've had delegations going
12:38
Speaker 2: both ways. What about specific industries, what are you seeing
12:41
Speaker 2: in you know, particular areas.
12:44
Speaker 8: Okay, see you the lowest hanging fruit literally, I mean
12:47
Speaker 8: sorry for the part that you mentioned. Is we've seen
12:49
Speaker 8: an increase in apple's already, and with our defined increase
12:54
Speaker 8: in quota from fokiv fruit, we know there's going to
12:58
Speaker 8: be a steady increase on the side. And also specific
13:02
Speaker 8: to sectors. We had a delegation on agri tech which
13:06
Speaker 8: came to our field days and that was only about
13:08
Speaker 8: a month ago and I think they even the outcomes
13:11
Speaker 8: were greater around that. But we're also seeing interest in honey,
13:15
Speaker 8: in meat and wood, in technology, innovation, sports tech.
13:20
Speaker 2: Especially obviously Modi's coming here Friday, very big visit for
13:25
Speaker 2: our country. Are you is anyone worried about the noise
13:29
Speaker 2: from Winston Peters and he's in on first.
13:32
Speaker 8: Oh, the noise will always be around such high level delegation,
13:36
Speaker 8: and it's not just in India or New Zealand. Anywhere
13:39
Speaker 8: these leaders go there's always been some fringe gentlemen's creating
13:42
Speaker 8: these kinds of issues. We I think both garments a
13:47
Speaker 8: Erica and the commitment from both the leaders to actually
13:51
Speaker 8: meet and shake hands would be the strongest symbol there,
13:55
Speaker 8: I mean strongest signal that they would can wait for
13:58
Speaker 8: to increase business confidence.
14:00
Speaker 2: All right, thank you very much, Edwin and Paul India
14:02
Speaker 2: Business Council Chair with us this morning time is twenty
14:04
Speaker 2: four after five. So am z's June card spending data
14:09
Speaker 2: is out and it tells you that well, it's a
14:11
Speaker 2: tracking data and much of the because we had an
14:13
Speaker 2: uplift in the data from the month earlier and they
14:18
Speaker 2: are now saying, well that was perhaps a bit of
14:20
Speaker 2: a mirage. So price hikes rather than volume gains were
14:23
Speaker 2: pushing up the card spending data. An you'll spending growth however,
14:27
Speaker 2: this is a good news story is up five point
14:29
Speaker 2: eight percent. Hospitality month on month was down two point
14:33
Speaker 2: two That was after a lift in May. Housing durables down,
14:36
Speaker 2: apparel flat however, terrorism recreation, and wasn't it great to
14:40
Speaker 2: see all the tourists here in newsaland in the South
14:43
Speaker 2: Island enjoying the snow. Yesterday twenty five after five Newstalk VB.
14:47
Speaker 2: Next we'll look at tax, the Greens and Top News
14:52
Speaker 2: Talks VB. It is twenty seven after five. This week,
14:54
Speaker 2: the Tony Blair Foundation warned Andy Berman that Burnham I
14:57
Speaker 2: should say the incoming British prime so that you can't
15:01
Speaker 2: tax your way to prosperity. Some of our politicians could
15:05
Speaker 2: probably use a similar lecture. We have parties wanting new
15:08
Speaker 2: taxes to fund what is basically a universal basic income,
15:12
Speaker 2: even though AI hasn't yet stolen the number of jobs
15:15
Speaker 2: that they claimed that it would. In fact, there's a
15:17
Speaker 2: Wall Street Journal piece out this morning that talks about
15:20
Speaker 2: exactly this point. Even big tech seems to be you
15:23
Speaker 2: turning on the job's doomsday scenario that's been painted for AI.
15:28
Speaker 2: We had the Greens yesterday come out with that policy
15:31
Speaker 2: that was not serious but potentially quite destructive to our
15:35
Speaker 2: standard of living. You can read it on the website.
15:37
Speaker 2: It's four pages long. Two of the pages of pictures
15:40
Speaker 2: and photos. Cows are gone should be gone capped. Synthetic
15:45
Speaker 2: nitrate fertilizers should be phased out. Bottom trawling should be banned.
15:50
Speaker 2: Zero detail on when, how, and the economic impact of
15:54
Speaker 2: doing so in this four pages. Same goes for bottom trawlings.
15:58
Speaker 2: Seventy percent of our fishing industry by volumes caught by
16:01
Speaker 2: trawling within a meter of our sea floor. Did you
16:04
Speaker 2: know that? The industry did you know? Worth five billion
16:06
Speaker 2: a year sixteen thousand plus jobs. Dairies our biggest export
16:10
Speaker 2: sixteen billion a year. To try and take them down
16:14
Speaker 2: is to launch an assault essentially much like the Chinese
16:17
Speaker 2: on our standard of living, akin to the doomsday AI
16:20
Speaker 2: job wipeout that was once predicted to happen but hasn't
16:23
Speaker 2: yet eventuated. On top of this, there's a plan for
16:27
Speaker 2: more taxes, which remember even Tony Blair admits is no
16:31
Speaker 2: plan for prosperity. The thing about the Greens the River
16:35
Speaker 2: plan is that the partly right agricultural runoff has made
16:40
Speaker 2: many rivers unswimmable in New Zealand. But simply banning and
16:44
Speaker 2: taxing things does not solve problems. It creates new ones,
16:49
Speaker 2: like how are we going to feed the kids, create
16:51
Speaker 2: jobs or stay in the OECD Bryan Bridge twenty nine
16:56
Speaker 2: after five Now Trumps off to Turkey. We've got our
17:00
Speaker 2: Defense minister over in Turkey already. This is for the
17:02
Speaker 2: NATO meeting. But Trump's off there. He's going to have
17:07
Speaker 2: a little meeting with Erduwan. Then he's going to have
17:10
Speaker 2: dinner with the NATO leaders. That will go well because
17:12
Speaker 2: he loves them. He's going to meet with Zelenski, He's
17:14
Speaker 2: going to meet with the Syrian presidents up meant Al Shara,
17:18
Speaker 2: and then there'll be a news conference. So we'll have
17:21
Speaker 2: plenty of Trump coverage in the next few days. We're
17:24
Speaker 2: in Australia. Next News Talks eb.
17:34
Speaker 1: KIMB the Early edition Full the show podcast on iHeartRadio
17:41
Speaker 1: powered by News Talks at B on your radio and
17:46
Speaker 1: online on iHeartRadio. Early Edition with Ryan Bridge and Spark
17:51
Speaker 1: for Business Technology that keeps business moving.
17:54
Speaker 2: News Talks at b tredy far away from six zero
18:02
Speaker 2: News Talk said on your Tuesday morning, great to have
18:04
Speaker 2: your company. Penny Wong, the Australian Foreign minist has commented
18:07
Speaker 2: on this missile thing. We'll go to Donald de Mayo
18:09
Speaker 2: out of Australia in a few minutes time. We're also
18:11
Speaker 2: going to talk about AI and data centers because there's
18:14
Speaker 2: a push to get thirty billion dollars in foreign investment here,
18:18
Speaker 2: which I mean good luck. Amazon didn't want to build well,
18:20
Speaker 2: they said they'd build one, then they didn't build one,
18:22
Speaker 2: then they said they'd build it again with luxe and
18:24
Speaker 2: and power, and then they have pulled out of that again.
18:27
Speaker 2: So who's going to pay for these data centers? Do
18:29
Speaker 2: we want them? Anyway? This textas says Ryan, the net
18:32
Speaker 2: zero thing this is we were talking about the Greens.
18:34
Speaker 2: The net zero thing is a scam, says Mark. It
18:37
Speaker 2: is ruining ours standard of living. Interestingly, we're going to
18:40
Speaker 2: get Penny Simmons on the show just before six this
18:42
Speaker 2: morning in about twenty minutes. Interestingly, it is the net
18:46
Speaker 2: zero ambitions of a lot of these big tech companies
18:49
Speaker 2: that is driving the demand for AI data centers in
18:54
Speaker 2: places like New Zealand. This is the theory because of
18:57
Speaker 2: our renewable energy. You know, we have so much renewed energy.
19:00
Speaker 2: These guys have net zero targets. Your Googles and your
19:04
Speaker 2: Microsofts and your Amazons. They say, oh, look, it's got
19:07
Speaker 2: a New Zealand like we've in America. Apparently a lot
19:10
Speaker 2: of it is alng A lot of it is coming
19:12
Speaker 2: off the grid, which is not renewable, and so they
19:16
Speaker 2: are going, let's go to New Zealand. That's the theory. Anyway, Mark,
19:19
Speaker 2: we will test it with the minister. Just before six,
19:22
Speaker 2: this one says, this is from John Farmer, John, Good
19:24
Speaker 2: morning John. On the greens. Wouldn't it be better to
19:29
Speaker 2: get all of our farmers aligned and up to speed
19:33
Speaker 2: with the best practice of our best farmers when it
19:35
Speaker 2: comes to night trate management rather than tax or ban
19:39
Speaker 2: which would kill industry. Wouldn't it be better to aim
19:42
Speaker 2: for the aim to be the best rather than killing
19:46
Speaker 2: the goose that's laying all the golden eggs for the economy.
19:48
Speaker 2: Couldn't agree more? John? Time is twenty two to six.
19:52
Speaker 2: Our reporters come into need and kill them. Good morning morning,
19:55
Speaker 2: right a bit drier there today. Yeah, definitely there.
19:58
Speaker 9: The rains stopped as predicted sort of late morning round
20:03
Speaker 9: lunchtime and the chance to dry out through yesterday afternoon
20:06
Speaker 9: and today forecast looking a lot better.
20:08
Speaker 2: And you've got a new this is good news from
20:11
Speaker 2: Simon Brown. New state of the art radiation therapy machine
20:14
Speaker 2: there here we do.
20:16
Speaker 9: It's so working its magic for our cancer patients here.
20:18
Speaker 9: It's a four point three million dollar linear accelerator which
20:22
Speaker 9: is fully operational here now.
20:23
Speaker 2: The Health Minister's confirmed.
20:25
Speaker 9: It replaces the old Dunedan hospital machine which has reached
20:30
Speaker 9: the end of its life. Simeon Brown says this version
20:33
Speaker 9: targets tumors within a millimeter and can treat from multiple
20:36
Speaker 9: angles as well. It allows clinicians to provide higher doses
20:40
Speaker 9: to tumor sites while reducing the risk of side effects
20:44
Speaker 9: through less healthy tissue exposure. Multiple tumors can also be
20:48
Speaker 9: treated simultaneously. Now operating it to Eden Hospital.
20:51
Speaker 2: All right, callum, thank you very much for that. Rosy
20:53
Speaker 2: Leachman and christ this morning. Rosie, good morning. So you've
20:55
Speaker 2: got a new qualification for health workers there.
20:59
Speaker 10: Yes, Institute of Canterbury Course is aiming to give health
21:03
Speaker 10: workers more confidence treating children As GP clinics face growing demand.
21:08
Speaker 10: The christ Church based Polytech will launch the Child Health
21:12
Speaker 10: and Development micro Credential in semester two, giving primary health
21:16
Speaker 10: care workers the chance to upskill. The course is fully
21:19
Speaker 10: online and has no exams. Program leader m A. Fairs
21:23
Speaker 10: says the workforce is seeing more children than ever as
21:26
Speaker 10: pressure grows on general practice. She says it's critical primary
21:30
Speaker 10: care workers are up to speed with current research to
21:33
Speaker 10: treat children as they can be more complex to treat
21:36
Speaker 10: because they're more vulnerable to becoming unwell.
21:38
Speaker 2: Hows you wear the rosie?
21:40
Speaker 8: Well?
21:40
Speaker 10: There are some weather warnings for parts of Canterbury, but
21:43
Speaker 10: here in christ Church we're getting occasional rain in southeast
21:46
Speaker 10: esterday and a high of eleven degrees.
21:48
Speaker 2: All right to be in Wellington, good morning to best
21:51
Speaker 2: morning right now? You got your counselors going where.
21:55
Speaker 11: Back to school? Actually? So Local Government New Zealand's how's
21:59
Speaker 11: this partnered with Victoria University of Wellington to create and
22:02
Speaker 11: offer a micro credential in Local Governance. So this is
22:06
Speaker 11: a short focus course which equates to about five university
22:09
Speaker 11: credits and it's delivered online over a maximum of about
22:13
Speaker 11: eighteen weeks so they can study towards a certified a
22:17
Speaker 11: Certified Local Governance practitioner and then they've got the opportunity
22:21
Speaker 11: to progress to a Certified Local Governance Advanced Practitioner. It'll
22:24
Speaker 11: cover off topics like leadership, finance, and communication and engagement
22:29
Speaker 11: local government. New Zealand says it will be a major
22:31
Speaker 11: boost to the set down a big help to both
22:33
Speaker 11: members future leadership opportunities and decision making skills.
22:37
Speaker 2: What on Earth? So while they're a counselor that you
22:40
Speaker 2: have to be a counselor or a mayor to actually
22:43
Speaker 2: do it. And yes, it's while you're elected members on
22:47
Speaker 2: Earth and while you're sitting on a council you also
22:50
Speaker 2: study at UNI online. That's bizarre to bear.
22:54
Speaker 11: As a counselor study to become a better counselor, I guess.
22:57
Speaker 11: It also says that the courses are tailored.
22:59
Speaker 2: To be about just doing their job better, you know,
23:03
Speaker 2: focus on.
23:03
Speaker 11: That they do. Say they make tough decisions in council
23:06
Speaker 11: and this will help them make those decisions easier.
23:09
Speaker 2: Apparently poor things always love your stories. How's your weather?
23:13
Speaker 11: Our periods of rain today for us possibly heavy southeasterly
23:17
Speaker 11: these are getting stronger this afternoon and twelve degrees out high.
23:20
Speaker 2: All right, take care five university credits Neva. What are
23:23
Speaker 2: they going to do with that they.
23:25
Speaker 12: Supposed to be?
23:26
Speaker 13: Can you hear me? Oh, look at the old.
23:28
Speaker 2: You need to go back to UNI. I need to
23:31
Speaker 2: go back to Uni. But you know, once you're in
23:33
Speaker 2: a job like university is to get you into a job.
23:36
Speaker 13: That's right.
23:36
Speaker 2: These guys have jobs.
23:38
Speaker 13: And the leadership as well, Like aren't they supposed to
23:40
Speaker 13: be leaders before you know, when they're elected because they're
23:44
Speaker 13: counselors and then while they're doing these credits and they're
23:48
Speaker 13: doing them on leadership and then you have a you
23:50
Speaker 13: have paying for this for goodness.
23:51
Speaker 2: That is quite a good question. I bet it's us,
23:54
Speaker 2: I bet it is I bet it's you Wellington.
23:57
Speaker 13: That would be like us going back to school broadcast
24:00
Speaker 13: broadcasting school to speak English proper.
24:04
Speaker 2: Hey. In Auckland, the Inorganic Collection service is boosting reuse.
24:09
Speaker 13: It is now look bike's, furniture, household appliances. They're all
24:12
Speaker 13: getting a second life. This is through the Auckland Council's
24:15
Speaker 13: Inorganic Collection. So examples include, you know, things like discarded
24:19
Speaker 13: bikes being fixed and then given back to the community.
24:22
Speaker 13: So as we know this in organic service. You know,
24:25
Speaker 13: people they put their une wanted items on property the
24:28
Speaker 13: council collection, you know, phone them and say come.
24:30
Speaker 2: I collect that.
24:31
Speaker 13: So Auckland councils saying that since it's seen items been
24:35
Speaker 13: diverted from landfill, that's increased from sixteen percent to twenty
24:39
Speaker 13: seven percent since twenty twenty two. So the Council's saying,
24:42
Speaker 13: you know what, this is pretty good. So they're increasingly
24:45
Speaker 13: being treated. This is landfill being treated as the last
24:48
Speaker 13: resort and better to see these items being repurposed.
24:51
Speaker 2: Basically, that's really cool. Yeah, I mean we should we should,
24:54
Speaker 2: you know, we throw too much stuff away. Done well,
24:55
Speaker 2: we just do. You know. One of my neighbors is
24:58
Speaker 2: they're quite a greeny household, I think, you know, very
25:01
Speaker 2: sort of happy. And yesterday they had I noticed on
25:05
Speaker 2: the fence as I was walking the dog they had
25:07
Speaker 2: out a bag and it said free on it and
25:09
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, it looked like it was a
25:11
Speaker 2: cardboard sort of nice shopping bag Pegani one. Oh it
25:15
Speaker 2: was empty. They were giving away the Pegani bagh a
25:21
Speaker 2: car is nothing in it. They were they were just
25:23
Speaker 2: obviously saying this is a this is a sort of
25:25
Speaker 2: a cardboard bag that we should reuse somehow.
25:29
Speaker 13: So did you open the bag and think what the hell?
25:33
Speaker 8: Oh?
25:33
Speaker 2: Bless them?
25:33
Speaker 13: So are you obviously not very good friends with your neighbors?
25:36
Speaker 2: These greenies, Well, I've seen them once in the park
25:39
Speaker 2: at the gold Page.
25:40
Speaker 13: You should put something on your fence.
25:42
Speaker 2: A big sign that says stay away. Has has that weather.
25:47
Speaker 13: Shellers so heavy thunderstorm, sail possible northfunder but until evening
25:51
Speaker 13: fourteen the high here.
25:53
Speaker 2: Nor for an Australia. Next, I want to tell you
25:56
Speaker 2: about a key we invention that is very very smart
25:59
Speaker 2: and is called Goode and nosebuds, designed for people who
26:03
Speaker 2: are tired, sick and tired actually of dealing with congestion
26:06
Speaker 2: constantly relying on sprays and or medication. Developed by Dr
26:10
Speaker 2: David White right here in New Zealand. Instead of adding
26:13
Speaker 2: anything to your body, they use a gentle vibroacoustic technology
26:17
Speaker 2: that's activated by just breathing. Who would have thought? So
26:21
Speaker 2: you pop them in breathe normally through your nose, and
26:23
Speaker 2: they help reduce nasal congestion with as little as ten minutes.
26:26
Speaker 2: Used twice a day. What I like is that they
26:28
Speaker 2: are completely drug free, reusable, already picking up aboards across
26:32
Speaker 2: the globe, including a Red Dot Award for product design.
26:35
Speaker 2: So if you're looking for a different approach this winter,
26:38
Speaker 2: have a look at Goode and Nosebuds. You can find
26:40
Speaker 2: out more at Goodyannosebuds dot com or simply google Goodie
26:44
Speaker 2: and Nosebuds.
26:45
Speaker 1: International correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance, Peace of Mind
26:49
Speaker 1: for New Zealand Business twelve.
26:52
Speaker 2: To six new talks. There be His Penny Wong, the
26:54
Speaker 2: Australian Foreign Minister on the Chinese missile.
26:57
Speaker 14: Australia has been clear that this proposed test is in
26:59
Speaker 14: the context of a rapid military built up by China
27:03
Speaker 14: which is lacking in the transparency and reassurance as to
27:07
Speaker 14: intend that the region expects. The Pacific Island's foreign leaders
27:12
Speaker 14: have made clear that they want the Pacific to be
27:15
Speaker 14: an ocean of peace. We believe this test is inconsistent
27:20
Speaker 14: with that objective.
27:21
Speaker 2: Donad Demato is with us from Australia this morning for
27:24
Speaker 2: more reaction. Donna, A big deal, Oh, a huge deal,
27:29
Speaker 2: huge deal.
27:30
Speaker 15: We know that this is a nuclear capable, intercontinental ballistic missile.
27:33
Speaker 15: It was armed with a dummy warhead. It went straight
27:36
Speaker 15: into the Pacific Ocean. The austrain government has been swift
27:40
Speaker 15: to respond, saying that it's destabilizing to the region. In fact,
27:46
Speaker 15: and as we just heard from Foreign Minister Penny Wong
27:49
Speaker 15: saying that you know, acknowledging that the Austraian government had
27:52
Speaker 15: been informed the test would occur, but did argue that
27:56
Speaker 15: this move lacked the transparency and reassurance that Pacific neighbors expected,
28:01
Speaker 15: and in fact went on to say that destabilizing acts
28:04
Speaker 15: can lead to what she called miscalculation, can lead where
28:09
Speaker 15: we do not want these actions to lead. And she
28:12
Speaker 15: said that she thinks China is aware of this position
28:15
Speaker 15: that Australia holds. She said all this on the ABC
28:18
Speaker 15: last night, so she actually also said that Australia regards
28:23
Speaker 15: this proposed test as counter to all those things that
28:26
Speaker 15: I just mentioned. Now you actually have also heard from
28:29
Speaker 15: Acting Prime Minister Richard Miles, and he said that the
28:33
Speaker 15: government was in fact alarmed by the plans. This is
28:37
Speaker 15: a long range missile test. We're very concerned about any
28:41
Speaker 15: actions that undermine the stability, peace and security of the
28:45
Speaker 15: Pacific and Australia remains completely committed to the Ocean of
28:50
Speaker 15: Peace declaration that was made at the floor at the
28:52
Speaker 15: Pacific Islands Forum last year and as he put it,
28:57
Speaker 15: our primary focus, Australia's primary concern is on maintaining the
29:00
Speaker 15: peace and security.
29:01
Speaker 14: Of the Pacific.
29:02
Speaker 15: So quite strong and swift reaction as I mentioned to
29:06
Speaker 15: what happened and what China.
29:07
Speaker 2: Did appreciate that update. Donald Tomorow, Australia correspondent. By the way,
29:10
Speaker 2: the missile was fired into the South Pacific Nuclear Free
29:13
Speaker 2: Zone that was established by the Treaty of Raratonga. It
29:17
Speaker 2: is ten two in this New Zealand. This is a
29:20
Speaker 2: Crown agency. They want foreign companies to pump thirty billion
29:24
Speaker 2: dollars investment into AI data centers over five years in
29:27
Speaker 2: New Zealand. We've got one in Westgate that's owned by
29:30
Speaker 2: a subsidiary in Ireland to cost a billion dollars. But
29:33
Speaker 2: will they steal our power at peak times? Do we
29:35
Speaker 2: have the water to cool them? And what about the jobs?
29:38
Speaker 2: Do they actually create them? Penny Simmons, Minister of Science,
29:40
Speaker 2: Innovation and Technology with me this morning. Minister, Good morning,
29:44
Speaker 2: Good morning, Ryan. I mentioned AI data centers once on
29:48
Speaker 2: the show, and the text machine goes with people saying,
29:52
Speaker 2: we needed a referendum on these things. I hate them.
29:55
Speaker 2: They're going to steal our power. We don't have the power.
29:58
Speaker 2: They actually seem quite controversial.
30:00
Speaker 12: Sure they are, and yet we've got fifty six of
30:03
Speaker 12: them already and they are using zero point six percent
30:07
Speaker 12: of our power. So and anyone that's using the digital economy,
30:13
Speaker 12: anyone who's jumped on a video conference or streamed a
30:16
Speaker 12: movie or done some banking online is part of the
30:21
Speaker 12: digital economy that needs the infrastructure of data centers. So
30:26
Speaker 12: we have them now and we're going to need more
30:28
Speaker 12: in the future, and AI is just accelerating that.
30:32
Speaker 2: So fifty six data centers less than a percent of
30:35
Speaker 2: our power. If we get thirty billion in investment as
30:38
Speaker 2: investment Z wants, how many data centers does that equal?
30:42
Speaker 2: How much of our power is that equal?
30:44
Speaker 12: Well, the thing is, though, at the same time, we're
30:47
Speaker 12: extending the amount of renewable energy that we're producing. So
30:52
Speaker 12: you've heard the Prime Minister talking about the fact that
30:54
Speaker 12: we've got nine renewable energy projects going through FastTrack. Six
31:00
Speaker 12: of them have already been approved, three with expert panels.
31:05
Speaker 12: Now so yes, if we weren't doing that work, could
31:08
Speaker 12: be worried. But we've got that happening in parallel that
31:12
Speaker 12: we're getting more electricity, and so we want that electricity
31:17
Speaker 12: available so that it puts a downward pressure on prices,
31:20
Speaker 12: but also so that it allows more industries to come here,
31:25
Speaker 12: like data centers, and they create then that growth in
31:29
Speaker 12: our economy and they create jobs.
31:31
Speaker 2: All right, Penny Simons, Science Minister good Tavy on the
31:33
Speaker 2: program eight minutes away from six. I mean, is anyone
31:35
Speaker 2: else just a little bit confused? We need LNG to
31:39
Speaker 2: fill the gaps in the dry years because we're so
31:41
Speaker 2: desperate for power. On the other hand, come in and
31:44
Speaker 2: build your data center, take the power. It's yours eight to.
31:47
Speaker 1: Six sid B before the news breaks here it first.
31:52
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge on early edition with sparks for business technology
31:55
Speaker 1: that keeps business moving.
31:57
Speaker 2: News talks that be five six news talks. It'd be
32:00
Speaker 2: great to have your company. Mike's in the studio morning. Mike,
32:02
Speaker 2: Greetings Ryan. See this back and forth with Harry and
32:05
Speaker 2: Buckingham Palace.
32:07
Speaker 16: He's arrived, by the way, he's just and just touchdown.
32:10
Speaker 16: But it's sort of pathetic, isn't it. It's it's beyond pathetic,
32:14
Speaker 16: like how many times they went back and forth? So
32:17
Speaker 16: they made the offer, he said no, and then he
32:20
Speaker 16: came back and said, oh, no, I will, and they said,
32:21
Speaker 16: well you can't.
32:22
Speaker 2: Now do you reckon?
32:23
Speaker 16: He's a pain in the ass.
32:25
Speaker 2: I reckon?
32:27
Speaker 16: What do you reckon that?
32:28
Speaker 2: What do you reckon?
32:28
Speaker 16: The ratio is of people. It's because the British tabloids
32:32
Speaker 16: still pedal it like there's no tomorrow. Obviously they get
32:35
Speaker 16: clicks out of it, because otherwise they wouldn't do it,
32:37
Speaker 16: So there's clearing. I couldn't be less interested in him
32:40
Speaker 16: AND's wife.
32:41
Speaker 2: I used to be, you know, back when the when
32:45
Speaker 2: they went to Netflix and did the Brexit or whatever.
32:49
Speaker 2: But then you know that trip they did to Australia
32:51
Speaker 2: just recently, and they had the BBC vox seed all
32:54
Speaker 2: these Australian people on the street and they said and
32:57
Speaker 2: they none of them even knew they were coming and
32:59
Speaker 2: couldn't ke les.
33:00
Speaker 16: Yeah, I think they're relevant, completely irrelevant. I do feel
33:03
Speaker 16: slightly sorry for him in the circumstances. I put it
33:06
Speaker 16: down to the fact I believe he's thick and unfortunately
33:10
Speaker 16: his life has become Waywood because of his laquered intellectual capacity,
33:14
Speaker 16: and hence he finds himself in this particular predicament.
33:17
Speaker 2: Probably a fair assistment. I know, exactly what are you
33:19
Speaker 2: doing today?
33:20
Speaker 3: Oh?
33:20
Speaker 16: Look, I got so much good stuff, right do you know?
33:22
Speaker 16: We're selling apples Twindia already?
33:25
Speaker 2: But are you really going to put that down to
33:26
Speaker 2: the f t A. It hasn't even been gone through.
33:30
