0:09
Speaker 1: moving news talks.
0:10
Speaker 2: They'd be good morning.
0:11
Speaker 3: Six halfand five. Great to have your company Wall Street
0:14
Speaker 3: bank profits are hitting new records this morning. I've got
0:16
Speaker 3: numbers for you. IBM share prices and free full oil
0:20
Speaker 3: is up at home act as a new candidate. Gavin's
0:23
Speaker 3: in the UK for US and farmers are wanting to
0:25
Speaker 3: bankers the agenda. So the fifteenth of fly Trump's already
0:30
Speaker 3: backing down on this twenty percent toll tariff in the
0:33
Speaker 3: straight of hor moves.
0:35
Speaker 4: So I put it out yesterday. Thought it was good.
0:38
Speaker 4: I was told by different people different countries, and they said,
0:41
Speaker 4: we'd love to.
0:41
Speaker 2: Do it a different way.
0:42
Speaker 4: We'd love to invest in the United States with billions
0:46
Speaker 4: and billions of dollars as opposed to higing fee.
0:49
Speaker 2: And that was very satisfactory.
0:51
Speaker 3: Okay, he's got a Racks PM at the White House
0:53
Speaker 3: at the moment.
0:54
Speaker 4: The relationship is a whole big relationship where we don't
0:56
Speaker 4: need the military there. We're there to help them, we're
0:59
Speaker 4: there to protect that we've need be but we don't
1:02
Speaker 4: think that's going to be necessary.
1:03
Speaker 2: Iran was a big burden on Iraq.
1:06
Speaker 4: Because they were the vully of the Middle East, says
1:09
Speaker 4: you know, and we were just talking about that. But
1:13
Speaker 4: they're not going to have that problem anymore because Iran
1:16
Speaker 4: has been very much destabilized.
1:19
Speaker 3: Now, all you really need to know is that he
1:22
Speaker 3: has told Trump that, as Trump told Congress will continue
1:25
Speaker 3: with the military action against Iran for another sixty days.
1:28
Speaker 3: So back up right in the UK Counterterror Police there
1:31
Speaker 3: in charge of this Anne whittakumb investigation now into her
1:35
Speaker 3: alleged murder. They say this morning she was quote targeted.
1:40
Speaker 5: We're still working to understand the extent of any planning
1:43
Speaker 5: or preparation and the motivation that sits behind that attack.
1:48
Speaker 5: The suspect can now be held for questioning for up
1:51
Speaker 5: to seven days under the Terrorism Act. He remains under
1:55
Speaker 5: arrest on suspicion of commission, preparation or instagratation of acts
2:01
Speaker 5: of terrorism.
2:02
Speaker 3: Back to COVID for a second, but staying in the UK.
2:04
Speaker 3: Turns out we weren't the only ones who stuffed up
2:06
Speaker 3: the Ppe. You know, the mass and the protective gear
2:09
Speaker 3: for the doctors and the nurses, and the UK twenty
2:12
Speaker 3: three billion new Zealand dollars this COVID inquiry. That's how
2:16
Speaker 3: much was wasted.
2:18
Speaker 6: These figures demand a fundamental change and how the UK
2:22
Speaker 6: prepares for emergency procurement. Hard ministers and officials being better
2:26
Speaker 6: equipped with appropriate plans, information and systems, procurement decisions would
2:31
Speaker 6: have been easier, fairer and far less costly.
2:36
Speaker 2: Ryan Bridge on early edition with Spark for.
2:39
Speaker 1: Business Technology that keeps business moving us Dog ZB.
2:43
Speaker 3: Nine two nine tours. The numbers text always love hearing
2:46
Speaker 3: from you. Just gone nine minutes after five. So we
2:48
Speaker 3: had the survey out from businesses yesterday. This is the
2:51
Speaker 3: Nzier Survey Dune quarter. A net twelve percent of firms
2:56
Speaker 3: expect improvement in the coming year. So people are feeling
2:58
Speaker 3: better than certainly better than they were in Court one
3:01
Speaker 3: of this year when it was a net one percent
3:03
Speaker 3: of firms who were feeling cherry looking up into the
3:07
Speaker 3: months ahead. So that's a good thing. The fuel price
3:10
Speaker 3: easing that helped them along. And this is if you're
3:13
Speaker 3: not familiar with the survey. It is the longest running one,
3:16
Speaker 3: so it's one you pay attention to. Ten thousand businesses
3:19
Speaker 3: get surveyed every quarter. Now these surveys went out and
3:23
Speaker 3: came back between June tenh and July seven, So some
3:27
Speaker 3: of them were pre Trump signing the MoU with Iran,
3:31
Speaker 3: which is now not worth the papers written on, but
3:35
Speaker 3: pre that still quite negative. The survey responses that came back,
3:40
Speaker 3: because there were two batches, one came back before the
3:43
Speaker 3: MoU was signed Trump and Iran, and one batch came
3:47
Speaker 3: back after. The ones that came back before negative, the
3:51
Speaker 3: ones that came back after markedly more positive. So added together,
3:55
Speaker 3: you get a net twelve percent feeling good. However, given
3:59
Speaker 3: where we are now, you have to wonder how positive
4:01
Speaker 3: those people who have said they were feeling positive, whether
4:03
Speaker 3: they're still feeling positive this morning. By the way, net
4:07
Speaker 3: three percent of firms planning to cut investments. This is buildings, plants,
4:11
Speaker 3: and machinery over the next year, which is not a
4:13
Speaker 3: great thing, is it. However, like the tariffs, you know,
4:17
Speaker 3: the tariffs came along and I've said this before, but
4:19
Speaker 3: the tariffs came along last Every year Trump does something
4:22
Speaker 3: that's a little surprise, a little jack in the box
4:24
Speaker 3: from Trump over in the White House, something to just
4:27
Speaker 3: really get your heart onto the collar. People freak out
4:30
Speaker 3: and then we get over it happened last year with
4:31
Speaker 3: the tariffs, happening now with the war, and this will
4:34
Speaker 3: be over soon. He's got midterms eleven after five, Ry
4:38
Speaker 3: and Bridge. The more numbers coming at you shortly, but
4:40
Speaker 3: we will next we'll get to certified builders, because yes,
4:45
Speaker 3: it will cost you a little bit more if you're
4:47
Speaker 3: in the business of building a residential property in New Zealand.
4:51
Speaker 3: But it's nowhere near as much as they thought it
4:54
Speaker 3: would be, which is the good news part of the story.
4:56
Speaker 3: And we're building more stuff. That's next. News Talks at Beach, the.

5:16
Speaker 3: Five point thirteen. A banking boss says, this could be
5:19
Speaker 3: as good as it ever gets, and you just don't
5:21
Speaker 3: know how long the good times are going to last.
5:23
Speaker 3: We'll get to the blockbuster banker profits out of Wall
5:27
Speaker 3: Street this morning in a second. But just to Australia
5:29
Speaker 3: very briefly. You know the Isis Brides we talked about
5:32
Speaker 3: that they've flown into Melbourne Airport they flew into Sydney
5:36
Speaker 3: as well, just a few months ago. Well, one of
5:38
Speaker 3: them is on trial. One of them is before the
5:40
Speaker 3: Melbourne Magistrates Court right now facing charges of being a
5:45
Speaker 3: member of a terrorist organization. This is a young woman
5:48
Speaker 3: mother and they've put videos evidence before the court because
5:53
Speaker 3: they're obviously you know, there's evidence being presented filmed herself training.
5:58
Speaker 3: This is what she's alleged to have done. This is
6:00
Speaker 3: a mother, thirty four year old mother with a toddler,
6:04
Speaker 3: allegedly filmed herself training her toddlers how to use a
6:07
Speaker 3: rifle and demanded that they show her how ge hardest
6:11
Speaker 3: fighters should slaughter an infidel or a non believer. Can
6:16
Speaker 3: you just imagine that for a second. And there's video
6:18
Speaker 3: footage she's filming her infant allegedly while doing I mean,
6:23
Speaker 3: it's absolutely, if true, disgusting. Messed up. Anyway, they didn't
6:29
Speaker 3: play the video in court because the footage would have
6:33
Speaker 3: been quote distressing for the accused. I mean, come off
6:37
Speaker 3: at fourteen after five rainbridge. Right, Let's get to building
6:41
Speaker 3: cost A building house up one point one percent in
6:43
Speaker 3: the three months to June. This is from totality. Annual
6:46
Speaker 3: cost growth up three and a half percent. Actually not
6:49
Speaker 3: bad given the war price of oil, building activity starting
6:52
Speaker 3: to gain traction as well. Malcolm Fleming, New Zealand certified
6:55
Speaker 3: builder CEO of me this morning mal can get.
6:56
Speaker 7: A good morning, Ryan.
6:59
Speaker 3: So not as bad as it could have been. You
7:01
Speaker 3: thought it might be.
7:03
Speaker 7: A surprisingly low number. I'd have to say one point
7:07
Speaker 7: one percent, as you said in your intro for two
7:09
Speaker 7: to two, well below what expectations were given the backdrop
7:14
Speaker 7: of there are war and the cost escalation we saw
7:17
Speaker 7: in building project products. Soon after it has sort of
7:24
Speaker 7: calmed down the building cost escalations we're seeing. So a
7:28
Speaker 7: pretty good number and I think it's important also in
7:31
Speaker 7: the note that the overall number of the twelve months
7:34
Speaker 7: is below what coutality are talking about is the usual
7:39
Speaker 7: number of four percent.
7:41
Speaker 3: Manually, Yeah, who's coming? When are we going to developer
7:44
Speaker 3: is going to come back? Because it looks like they've
7:46
Speaker 3: all kind of pulled back. They're all a bit nervous,
7:47
Speaker 3: which is more to do with the market than the
7:49
Speaker 3: cost of building. But what are you seeing hearing out there?
7:53
Speaker 7: I'm sing to here that the market is slowly changing.
7:55
Speaker 7: There is some enthusiasm for motion industry that we are
8:00
Speaker 7: at the bottom of cycle coming suddenly come out of it.
8:02
Speaker 7: We started to see some good signs and I've been
8:04
Speaker 7: on your show earlier this year talking about but those
8:07
Speaker 7: were and then of course we had their own war,
8:09
Speaker 7: so that then eroded some of those gains and that
8:12
Speaker 7: positivity was starting to see that and back in the
8:18
Speaker 7: twenty eighth to Peter and when the UN war started
8:21
Speaker 7: and the month afterwards, we were very concerned about cost
8:24
Speaker 7: escalations and that has played out that it and slowed
8:28
Speaker 7: things down a little bit. That the actual cost escalation
8:32
Speaker 7: has been less than we were thinking it would be
8:34
Speaker 7: as a good sign when you marry that up. It
8:37
Speaker 7: was only a week or two we were talking about
8:39
Speaker 7: building consent numbers for year to the end of May
8:45
Speaker 7: being above where they were the corresponding time last year.
8:47
Speaker 7: You were starting to be some good signals returning.
8:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, Malcolm, good see you are good to hear you,
8:52
Speaker 3: I should say, Malcolm Fleming, you's get on certified builders
8:55
Speaker 3: CEO those numbers. By the way, seventeen minutes after five
8:59
Speaker 3: those numbers can see it's risen from below thirty four
9:01
Speaker 3: thousand last year to more than thirty nine thousand. That
9:04
Speaker 3: is a good thing. How not every consent house consented
9:09
Speaker 3: gets built, right, But the more you have consented, the
9:13
Speaker 3: more chance you have of those you have consented being built. Therefore,
9:17
Speaker 3: if it's going north, it's not a bad thing. It
9:20
Speaker 3: is eighteen minutes after coming up, we're still going to
9:22
Speaker 3: talk about Well, I'm still going to get to the
9:24
Speaker 3: banking situation with the farmers, because it's quite interesting. They
9:27
Speaker 3: had the banking inquiry, the rural banking inquiring. You think
9:30
Speaker 3: or what's that ever going to achieve? Well, maybe it
9:33
Speaker 3: did something or at least changed the perception that farmers
9:36
Speaker 3: have about their banks and the thing that is more
9:39
Speaker 3: important for a farmer to do with their bank, more
9:43
Speaker 3: important than their interest rate. What is it tell you next?

Speaker 2: News Talks That b.
10:06
Speaker 3: Timer is twenty minutes after five. Great to have your company.
10:08
Speaker 3: So Wall Street's big banks doing very well. Second quarter
10:12
Speaker 3: earnings are out and it's been a bumper season for them. Basically,
10:15
Speaker 3: why well, they've been creaming and off the back of
10:17
Speaker 3: some very strong market activities, some IPOs. Lots of stuff
10:21
Speaker 3: going on with stocks, lots of buying and selling and
10:24
Speaker 3: trading and IPOs which is pushing there. You know, they
10:27
Speaker 3: get fees. There's mergers and acquisitions, they get fees, all
10:31
Speaker 3: that stuff. So JP Morgan Global banking revenue, for example,
10:35
Speaker 3: sixty one billion dollars for the quarter, up twenty four percent.
10:40
Speaker 3: A JP Morgan chased, similar story, Bank of America's similar story,
10:43
Speaker 3: far exceeding analysts expectations, all of them and yet deal making.
10:49
Speaker 3: I think SpaceX, the IPO rocketing into and the money
10:54
Speaker 3: that comes with it, market volatility that's been caused by
10:57
Speaker 3: the ditches to do with AI, but also the war
10:59
Speaker 3: and run has helped their trading income too and their
11:01
Speaker 3: bottom line. Twenty one after five reserve banks starting with farming,
11:07
Speaker 3: sorry staying with banking for a second, Reserve Bank says
11:09
Speaker 3: farmer lending dropped nearly one and a half billion in
11:12
Speaker 3: the year to April. Heirback home Fonterra and their Lactalis
11:16
Speaker 3: payout plus strong returns for red meat for dairy while
11:20
Speaker 3: they're paying down debt. Number of farmers with mortgages under
11:23
Speaker 3: two million forty one percent. Six months ago it was
11:26
Speaker 3: thirty eight percent. Mark Hooper, Fed Farmers Banking spokesperson, Hey.
11:29
Speaker 2: Mark, good morning.
11:31
Speaker 3: It's interesting to see the change in the attitudes of
11:34
Speaker 3: farmers to their banks.
11:38
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, well, I mean overall, it's it's a positive
11:41
Speaker 8: trend at present. What we're seeing is a sixty nine
11:45
Speaker 8: percent satisfaction rate, which is the highest that we've seen
11:49
Speaker 8: since twenty eighteen. And at the other end of the spectrum,
11:54
Speaker 8: those farmers that are feeling under undue pressure from their
11:57
Speaker 8: banks down to ten percent, which is also below since
12:00
Speaker 8: twenty eighteen. So a good kind of growing strong relationship.
12:07
Speaker 8: I think happening.
12:08
Speaker 3: There is that a function of farmers are doing well,
12:11
Speaker 3: so banks are less concerned or do you think there's
12:14
Speaker 3: a genuine improvement and how they're getting.
12:17
Speaker 8: On well, it's no doubt a little bit of both. Certainly,
12:24
Speaker 8: good times make for good friends, don't they. But what
12:30
Speaker 8: we're actually seeing happen, and it's probably a reflection of
12:33
Speaker 8: what you were reporting on there with international banks, is
12:37
Speaker 8: that the New Zealand banks are currently competing quite strongly
12:41
Speaker 8: for a share of that rural market debt and so that,
12:46
Speaker 8: in turn, I think does drive good service and that's
12:49
Speaker 8: probably one of the key messages that came out of
12:51
Speaker 8: the service survey as well. It's the relationship that the
12:55
Speaker 8: person has with the bank which tends to override a
12:58
Speaker 8: lot of the other outcomes. There might be variations and
13:02
Speaker 8: interest rates and things, but if they've got good communication,
13:04
Speaker 8: a good relationship with their agrig manager, they tend to
13:07
Speaker 8: be more satisfied.
13:08
Speaker 3: Yeah. I thought that was the most interesting thing to
13:10
Speaker 3: come out of well. I mean, obviously the drop and borrowing,
13:15
Speaker 3: but the most interesting thing was they care more about
13:19
Speaker 3: the relationship, having someone decent who comes to the farm
13:23
Speaker 3: and talks to them and they know over an interest rate.
13:29
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, that's right. But I think that internet relationship
13:33
Speaker 8: does tend to drive some of those some of those
13:37
Speaker 8: interest rate outcomes as well. I guess the concerning area
13:41
Speaker 8: here is that we've got a couple of things. One
13:44
Speaker 8: is that there is still quite a bit of variability
13:46
Speaker 8: within that. We do still get reporting come through of
13:50
Speaker 8: people having poor relationships and feeling under pressure from their banks,
13:54
Speaker 8: and that's a reflection often of that breakdown of relationship.
13:57
Speaker 8: But also it'll be interesting see because we don't we're
14:01
Speaker 8: not having fear weather times with arable farmers at at
14:05
Speaker 8: this stage they are feeling the punch quite a bit
14:10
Speaker 8: more than others for a variety of reasons. And I
14:15
Speaker 8: guess how well the bank manages those relationships will be
14:18
Speaker 8: a reflection of the overall attitude.
14:20
Speaker 3: Good point, Mark Cooper, fod Farmers, Nice Tavy on the
14:22
Speaker 3: show was always twenty four minutes after five ran Bridge show.
14:26
Speaker 3: There's and IBM worst day on trading day for them
14:29
Speaker 3: on record. I think today fell by more than twenty percent.
14:33
Speaker 3: That was pre market open this morning. Our second quarter earnings.
14:36
Speaker 3: They put a note to the market saying theyred on
14:39
Speaker 3: July twenty second, but their earnings are going to be
14:41
Speaker 3: well nowhere near as good as the analysts expected them
14:44
Speaker 3: to be. And so the investors go, well, we've bere
14:47
Speaker 3: to sell before we hear the bad news. So customers
14:50
Speaker 3: apparently prioritizing spending on AI infrastructure over what they do,
14:55
Speaker 3: which is software twenty five after five by twenty seven
14:59
Speaker 3: news to swearing unless you're a bishop, or maybe they
15:03
Speaker 3: do it in private as well. Most of us do this,
15:05
Speaker 3: don't we, especially in New Zealand. We all know what
15:07
Speaker 3: a GC is, and it's nothing to do with the
15:09
Speaker 3: white sandy beaches of Queensland. You don't do it in
15:14
Speaker 3: front of mum. Everyone knows that that's just one oh
15:16
Speaker 3: one of swearing and you shouldn't use the words and
15:20
Speaker 3: anger at people unless they really really deserve it, and
15:23
Speaker 3: then it's fine. But have you noticed lately the media's
15:26
Speaker 3: obsession with calling out people for swearing? Exhibit A is
15:30
Speaker 3: a furious, apparently furious Benji Marshall, West's Tigers coach, at
15:35
Speaker 3: the expletive laden presser. Is how they described this.
15:38
Speaker 9: The fact that people can make up rumors that we're
15:40
Speaker 9: having a relationship breakdown or a risk between our friendship.
15:43
Speaker 2: There's absolutely so.
15:46
Speaker 3: The media had been saying he was in a spat
15:48
Speaker 3: or a row with a now former player and they
15:50
Speaker 3: were at war, et cetera, et cetera. You know what
15:52
Speaker 3: the media does, none of which, according to Benji, was
15:54
Speaker 3: actually true. So he responds and they say he's ranting
15:57
Speaker 3: and swearing and quote going nuclear. Isn't that what they
16:02
Speaker 3: used to call gaslighting? Remember that? Then there was Winston
16:06
Speaker 3: Peters and you will remember this one.
16:08
Speaker 6: I haven't been around this long to come on this
16:10
Speaker 6: program to talk about that sort of wake up question.
16:13
Speaker 10: Now the media called that a foul language outburst. How
16:18
Speaker 10: can a word that so many people use describing an
16:21
Speaker 10: act that clearly so many people do be so offensive
16:25
Speaker 10: and worthy of mention. Christine Fletcher Orcland Council complains about
16:30
Speaker 10: swearing and the council chambers at the moment the Dunedin
16:32
Speaker 10: Council boss, did you see this yesterday? Was done for
16:35
Speaker 10: swearing about counselors and calling them bad words behind their backs.
16:38
Speaker 3: Who hasn't done that? The truth is that most of
16:42
Speaker 3: us don't mind occasionally too much and you sound like
16:45
Speaker 3: trash too little, and you sound a bit too cautious
16:48
Speaker 3: directed in anger. Never a good idea should not happen
16:52
Speaker 3: at work either. The obsession with people using it from
16:56
Speaker 3: time to time though, especially in the age of the
16:58
Speaker 3: Internet where people do and say whatever they want, well
17:03
Speaker 3: that's a waste of beeping time. Ryan Bridge addition twenty nine,
17:06
Speaker 3: after five news talks B we'll get to the UK
17:09
Speaker 3: that whittickim, I mean I told you this yesterday. The
17:12
Speaker 3: terrorism charges. So they came out on day one and
17:15
Speaker 3: said nte, we think it's we think it's nothing to do.
17:18
Speaker 3: There's no political motivation. This is a reform spokesperson on immigration. No,
17:25
Speaker 3: we think that's nothing now. Of course they're investigating, so
17:28
Speaker 3: we'll talk through our correspondent about that. News Talks at B.

Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge on early edition with spark for business technology
17:52
Speaker 1: that keeps business moving.
17:54
Speaker 2: News Talks at B.
18:01
Speaker 3: Were away from sixty News Talk said, be great to
18:04
Speaker 3: have you coming this morning. What exactly is Paul Henry
18:06
Speaker 3: going to do in Parliament? That's in fifteen minutes from now.
18:08
Speaker 3: We'll get to the UK for the latest on this
18:10
Speaker 3: invent now terrorism investigation into the death of an MP
18:14
Speaker 3: former minister, Conservative minister and whittikem Now a couple of
18:19
Speaker 3: things to update you on from overnight. So JP Morgan
18:22
Speaker 3: chief Jamie Diamond, we've spoken about him on the show before.
18:25
Speaker 3: He says it's getting close to as good as it gets.
18:27
Speaker 3: This after announcing massive banker profits over their bumper banking
18:32
Speaker 3: profits four quarter two. We just don't know how long
18:35
Speaker 3: it's going to last. Now. Nasdaq is up overnight. June
18:39
Speaker 3: inflation for the US came in at three and a
18:42
Speaker 3: half percent. That's actually less than expected. So as a
18:44
Speaker 3: result of that, all of the investors said, ok, the
18:48
Speaker 3: odds of an interest rate hike that we thought was
18:50
Speaker 3: coming this month went from forty two percent saying yeah,
18:54
Speaker 3: we think we're going they're going to have to hike
18:55
Speaker 3: interistrates to about sixteen percent. And then Wash, who is
19:00
Speaker 3: resent now with the feed he's taken questions from lawmakers,
19:04
Speaker 3: say no, no, don't worry, I'll deal with inflation. So that
19:07
Speaker 3: prediction is pretty much up in the air. As we
19:09
Speaker 3: go to ERE this morning, and a little number four
19:12
Speaker 3: you oh, price of oil, So it's come back down.
19:16
Speaker 3: It's about eighty It was up as high as eighty
19:18
Speaker 3: seven dollars a barrel. This is the benchmark Brent crude.
19:22
Speaker 3: Trump said he taxed the straight. Now he's saying you
19:24
Speaker 3: won't tax the straight. So again up in the air.
19:27
Speaker 3: I mean we could sit here and endlessly go through
19:30
Speaker 3: the menuchet of everything that Trump says about the Strait,
19:32
Speaker 3: but I would be wasting your time and I would
19:34
Speaker 3: be wasting my time too. Frankly, twenty two minutes away
19:37
Speaker 3: from six Ryan, let's go to our reporters. Callum, good morning, morning. Right,
19:42
Speaker 3: what's the update with Waki Hospital.
19:46
Speaker 11: Well, we know now that this independence inquiry will take
19:49
Speaker 11: place in secure at the facility and it will examine
19:53
Speaker 11: ryan whether the patients were treated lawfully and appropriately or not.
19:56
Speaker 11: Ward TENA is what's under the microscope here at twelve
20:00
Speaker 11: unit for adults with intellectual disabilities involved in the justice system.
20:03
Speaker 11: It's closing after Ombudsman inspectors found evidence of punitive and
20:08
Speaker 11: coercive treatment and including one patient being kept in isolation
20:12
Speaker 11: for eighteen months. The Ministry of Health released the terms
20:15
Speaker 11: of references for this inquiry which it's commissioning. It says
20:19
Speaker 11: it'll examine care provided over the past two years, including
20:22
Speaker 11: whether wider systemic issues need addressing, and its findings will
20:26
Speaker 11: be reported to the Director General of Health within six months.
20:28
Speaker 3: All right, how's your weather?
20:30
Speaker 11: A few showers this morning and afternoon northwest is today
20:33
Speaker 11: the high ten nice one.
20:34
Speaker 3: Thanks Callum Claire and christ Church morning Claire, good morning.
20:38
Speaker 3: Are people being scammed at parking machines?
20:40
Speaker 9: Well, that's what it seems. Christ Church residents are been
20:43
Speaker 9: warned to watch out for these fake stickers that have
20:46
Speaker 9: been placed on parking machines directing them to fake payment websites.
20:50
Speaker 9: The city Council put out an urgent alert yesterday afternoon
20:53
Speaker 9: after discovering these QR code stickers had been placed over
20:56
Speaker 9: parking machines across the city, both on machines operate by Counsel,
21:00
Speaker 9: but also other parking providers as well. Some of the
21:04
Speaker 9: machines had also been vandalized with permanent marker to stop
21:07
Speaker 9: people being able to use them. A Head of Transport,
21:10
Speaker 9: Stephen Wright says the issue is being taken very seriously.
21:13
Speaker 9: This increased monitoring by the Parking Surveillance Team. As a result.
21:17
Speaker 9: Police are also helping to identify affected machines and hopefully
21:20
Speaker 9: remove the fake stickers after they became aware of the
21:23
Speaker 9: issue yesterday afternoon.
21:25
Speaker 3: Terrible. How's your weather?
21:27
Speaker 9: Mainly find a bit of high cloud about today. There
21:28
Speaker 9: could be the odd shower later too. Northerlyast turning southwesterly
21:32
Speaker 9: and the high will be sixteen.
21:33
Speaker 3: Nice wine clear. Thank you to bes in Willington. Ha Tobs,
21:36
Speaker 3: Good morning Ryan. So Winston was just taking a look
21:39
Speaker 3: at whether we would get another short term firy, was
21:41
Speaker 3: he Yeah?
21:43
Speaker 12: So while the rail Minister says that there's nothing wrong
21:46
Speaker 12: with being ready, Yeah, this is after revelations that he
21:50
Speaker 12: wrote to key We Rail asking it to explore options
21:53
Speaker 12: for another cook straight fery as we know whenter Island
21:56
Speaker 12: is currently down to just the one. This is after
21:59
Speaker 12: the retirement of the outer teddy and schedule maintenance of
22:02
Speaker 12: the other two. So a lessa from March was sent
22:05
Speaker 12: just weeks after Peter's put out a statement saying it
22:07
Speaker 12: wouldn't make sense for the agency to get another faery.
22:11
Speaker 12: It has actually been done before with KEII Rail leasing
22:13
Speaker 12: a fery from England in twenty twenty one. He told
22:17
Speaker 12: KWI Rail of concerns from those in the freight industry
22:20
Speaker 12: and question the cost of an additional fury, but he
22:23
Speaker 12: was told leasing one wouldn't be economically viable. We've got
22:26
Speaker 12: the two new ships, of course, arriving in twenty twenty nine.
22:29
Speaker 3: How's your weather?
22:31
Speaker 12: A cloudy today, chance of rain, northerly wins and fourteen
22:34
Speaker 12: degrees the high here in Wellington.
22:36
Speaker 3: Thank you to Bess and Wendy's with me in Auckland.
22:38
Speaker 3: Good morning, Good to see what's going on with this
22:41
Speaker 3: freshwater gold clan.
22:42
Speaker 13: Yeah, well, Auckland Council is obviously worried about it. They're
22:46
Speaker 13: seeking help to prevent the highly invasive freshwater gold clan
22:49
Speaker 13: from spreading into the region. A Council report says the
22:52
Speaker 13: aquatic pest found in Waikato and Taranaki is at a
22:56
Speaker 13: high risk of entering Auckland within the next four years.
22:59
Speaker 13: Anessa intervention so asking the Ministry of Primary Industries to
23:03
Speaker 13: establish a controlled area notice for fourteen water bodies around
23:06
Speaker 13: the region and introducing a check clean and dry procedure.
23:10
Speaker 13: The Council's Head of Natural Environment Services, Image and Basset,
23:14
Speaker 13: says the clam are prolific breeders. She says this quick
23:17
Speaker 13: block water treatment plants, they stop irrigation systems, and they
23:21
Speaker 13: destroy local biodiversity, so he has something to watch out for.
23:24
Speaker 3: There certainly sounds like it. Haw's our weather.
23:26
Speaker 13: Well, it's very foggy, wasn't it.
23:28
Speaker 3: On the drive.
23:30
Speaker 13: I had the lad to put the lights on and
23:32
Speaker 13: the wipers and the wipers so the fog were clear.
23:35
Speaker 13: And it's going to become a lovely fine day light
23:37
Speaker 13: when seventeen degrees beautiful now not compare.
23:39
Speaker 3: That's what we'd like to hear, Wendy, thank you very
23:41
Speaker 3: much for that. It is eighteen minutes away from six
23:43
Speaker 3: News Talks B. You want to hear the good news
23:45
Speaker 3: out of China, This is their trade surplus. June exports
23:49
Speaker 3: were up almost thirty percent twenty seven percent from the
23:53
Speaker 3: same month a year ago. This is driven by mainly
23:55
Speaker 3: US businesses, which has kind of counterintuitive, but US businesses
24:00
Speaker 3: piling because they thought that the inflation re effects, you know,
24:03
Speaker 3: the second round inflationary effects, would push up their prices,
24:06
Speaker 3: so they buy a bunch of stuff from China. China's
24:08
Speaker 3: exports go up and at the same time, but plus
24:12
Speaker 3: they export a whole bunch of cars, which we're all buying,
24:14
Speaker 3: aren't we, the evs. At the same time, their inputs
24:17
Speaker 3: were up thirty six percent. Why well, price of oil.
24:20
Speaker 3: Remember they had to pay for that. That was part
24:22
Speaker 3: of the problem. So this leads to a in total,
24:26
Speaker 3: a near record trade surplus for the Chinese for the
24:29
Speaker 3: month of June US one hundred and twenty six billion
24:32
Speaker 3: dollars for the month seventeen to six. News TALKSB were
24:36
Speaker 3: in the UK next. Most New Zealanders are getting better
24:39
Speaker 3: at managing their money, and the tools that help improve
24:43
Speaker 3: your money management are actually getting better all the time,
24:46
Speaker 3: so you should check them out. Quite regularly. But there
24:48
Speaker 3: is such a thing as too much information. You've probably
24:51
Speaker 3: heard the advice about not checking too often on a
24:54
Speaker 3: long term investment like Kiwisaver. It's tempting to well not
24:59
Speaker 3: follow that advice. This isn't it. The key is focusing
25:01
Speaker 3: on the right numbers. If you're investing for something that's
25:05
Speaker 3: many years away, like retirement, it makes sense to judge
25:08
Speaker 3: results over several years, not what's happened in the past quarter,
25:12
Speaker 3: or in the past twelve months, or heaven forbid, in
25:14
Speaker 3: the past week. For long term investments, it's long term
25:19
Speaker 3: results that matter, and Milford is a key we save
25:21
Speaker 3: provided with a track record of delivering strong long term results.

25:47
Speaker 3: What's tall hen we're going to do in Parliament? We'll
25:48
Speaker 3: ask that in a couple of minutes first, let's go
25:50
Speaker 3: to the UK. Gavin Grays with us so counter terror
25:53
Speaker 3: police now all over this investigation into Anne Whittakim's death.
25:57
Speaker 14: That's right, yes, Ryan, and the most recent breast conference.
26:02
Speaker 14: A couple of hours back. Now, the counter Terrorism Police
26:04
Speaker 14: chief said that Ann Whittigam had died in a brutal
26:07
Speaker 14: and targeted attack.
26:08
Speaker 15: Now.
26:09
Speaker 14: Anne Whittighum's seventy eight years old but still involved in politics,
26:13
Speaker 14: was a former prisons minister under John Major in the
26:16
Speaker 14: mid nineteen nineties. She was Conservative so in power for
26:19
Speaker 14: a long time and then defected to Reform UK and
26:24
Speaker 14: became an MEP, a member of the European Parliament. She
26:27
Speaker 14: was actually giving television interviews and radio interviews, a series
26:31
Speaker 14: of them from her home virtually on the day of
26:34
Speaker 14: her murder. It's been now announced, but the counter Terrorism
26:39
Speaker 14: Police chief says that she died in this brutal targeted attack.
26:43
Speaker 14: They say they have now obtained a warrant to hold
26:45
Speaker 14: a twenty eight year old white male suspect for up
26:48
Speaker 14: to seven days under the Terrorism Act, but they say
26:51
Speaker 14: they're still working to try to understand the motive. Now
26:54
Speaker 14: it's been rumored in newspapers, but not confirmed by the
26:57
Speaker 14: police that there was some communist literature at the home
27:00
Speaker 14: of the suspect, but as I said, completely unconfirmed with that,
27:05
Speaker 14: and a counter terrorism investigation is now running in parallel
27:08
Speaker 14: to the murder investigation, but it has not been declared
27:12
Speaker 14: a terrorist incident at this stage. They say it's complex,
27:16
Speaker 14: multiple lines of inquiry, digital forensic examinations as you could expect,
27:21
Speaker 14: use of the computer, phone, etc. And well, this mystery
27:25
Speaker 14: just seems to go on and on, with more tributes
27:28
Speaker 14: pouring in for this very very unusual politician given.
27:31
Speaker 3: I'm quite intrigued by this one because the police was
27:34
Speaker 3: so quick to come out and say they didn't think
27:36
Speaker 3: there was any political motivation. This is the reform UK
27:40
Speaker 3: immigration spokesperson who dies in brutal circumstances in her home
27:46
Speaker 3: and they were so quick to dismiss it, you know,
27:48
Speaker 3: initially yes, yep.
27:50
Speaker 14: And Nigel Farah saying that more security needs to be
27:53
Speaker 14: given to his colleagues. To him, this has been kind
27:57
Speaker 14: of dismissed as well by the authorities saying we regularly
28:00
Speaker 14: reviewing who needs what security we are in charge, and
28:04
Speaker 14: others are saying, look, this is a clear indication of
28:07
Speaker 14: what happens not just at Reform UK, but to any
28:10
Speaker 14: politician dealing with controversial matters. We have in the past.
28:14
Speaker 14: In the not too distant past, Ryan had two MPs
28:17
Speaker 14: who were both murdered. And the fear is that as
28:21
Speaker 14: people do more and more circulating and stuff online that
28:25
Speaker 14: this could happen again. So we don't yet know. We
28:28
Speaker 14: can't get too certain on the exact target on this,
28:31
Speaker 14: but yes, you're right. They dismissed the fact that it
28:34
Speaker 14: was politically motivated at the time.
28:36
Speaker 3: Kevin Gray are UK europe correspondent. It is a living
28:39
Speaker 3: away from sex, Bryan Bridge. So we all need saving.
28:42
Speaker 3: The country needs saving. Who's going to do it? Apparently?
28:45
Speaker 3: Paul Henry an act.
28:47
Speaker 15: You know, I'm enormously disappointed with national Yes, I want
28:50
Speaker 15: to be a minister. Why do I want to be
28:52
Speaker 15: a minister? As I said before, I'm sixty five years old.
28:55
Speaker 15: I'm not doing this to waste my time on.
28:57
Speaker 3: Bridget more than political commentator with us as morning, Hey Bridget.
29:01
Speaker 16: Good morning.
29:02
Speaker 3: Do celebrity candidates form a broadcast that kind of thing?
29:05
Speaker 3: Do they ever really change the dial in terms of polling?
29:10
Speaker 16: I think they do and that they bring attention and
29:12
Speaker 16: I think particularly with someone like Paul Henry, you've seen
29:16
Speaker 16: act sort of stagnate in the polls. They haven't gone
29:18
Speaker 16: disily down, but sitting around that seven to eight percent,
29:21
Speaker 16: whilst there are others that are Coalish and part in
29:23
Speaker 16: New Zealand Services actually skyrocketed in the polls, so they
29:26
Speaker 16: actually do need a bit of attention currently in a
29:28
Speaker 16: crowded seat of market going into the election, and Paul
29:31
Speaker 16: Henry has the power to do that.
29:33
Speaker 3: Anyone going to roll Luxon.
29:36
Speaker 16: I don't think anyone's going to roll Lutson at the moment.
29:39
Speaker 16: I don't think it's Paul Henry, for instance, it's going
29:41
Speaker 16: to roll Xon.
29:42
Speaker 3: But I mean the bad polling numbers that the changing
29:45
Speaker 3: now is not going to change those numbers necessarily, are
29:48
Speaker 3: they No.
29:50
Speaker 16: I think one of the key things that every political
29:52
Speaker 16: party is always aware of is that generally the voters
29:56
Speaker 16: don't reward you for spending time talking about yourself rather
29:59
Speaker 16: than talking about them and what's happening in their household.
30:02
Speaker 16: So any kind of leadership discussion is trying to keep
30:08
Speaker 16: it minimum as possible. Hence why Luckson, you know, pushed
30:10
Speaker 16: the vote earlier in the year that to rely on
30:13
Speaker 16: under it and it has been very quiet since then.
30:16
Speaker 3: If we assume that we are going to get the
30:19
Speaker 3: result that the polls assume we're going to get right now,
30:22
Speaker 3: it'd be a very different government, won't it with maybe
30:24
Speaker 3: a quarter of cabinet made up of New Zealand first,
30:27
Speaker 3: if they get a bump from Paul Henry, act could
30:30
Speaker 3: have a few more as well, and you start to
30:31
Speaker 3: look at half national in caucus, sorry, in cabinet.
30:36
Speaker 13: Yeah.
30:36
Speaker 16: And you've also got to take into account that actors
30:39
Speaker 16: campaigning on having a smaller cabinet as well. That's one
30:43
Speaker 16: of the things I said is really important that actually
30:45
Speaker 16: they want less ministers and they said they're prepared to
30:48
Speaker 16: have less act ministers as well. So that's going to
30:51
Speaker 16: have quite a change dynamic on what that cabinet looks like.
30:54
Speaker 3: Bridget Mordern, political commentator, Good TV on the show this morning.
30:57
Speaker 3: It is nine minutes well just gone eight minutes away
30:59
Speaker 3: from six News Talk SEDB.
31:02
Speaker 2: News and Views you Trust to start your day.
31:06
Speaker 1: It's early edition with Ryan Bridge and Spark for Business
31:10
Speaker 1: Technology that Keeps Business Moving US TALKSB.
31:13
Speaker 3: Six to six News Talks. Heb we had some numbers
31:15
Speaker 3: yesterday on tourists and on long term you know, like
31:18
Speaker 3: citizens will want would be citizens coming to New Zealand.
31:21
Speaker 3: So twelve months to May, because I mean, forget about
31:25
Speaker 3: the month net loss of thirty six thousand, eight hundred
31:28
Speaker 3: New Zealand citizens, the net gain fifty five thousand non
31:32
Speaker 3: New Zealand citizens. Where did they come from? India? So
31:36
Speaker 3: I mean Winston won't like this. India biggest source of
31:39
Speaker 3: migrants in the twelve months to May this year, eleven thousand.
31:43
Speaker 3: You had about ten thousand from China, seven eight hundred
31:46
Speaker 3: from the Philippines, next with Sri Lanka and then the USA.
31:49
Speaker 3: Everyone goes on about how many Americans are moving here,
31:51
Speaker 3: Well it was seventeen hundred in the year and even
31:54
Speaker 3: fewer Aussies. No Ustralians just don't move to New Zealand,
31:57
Speaker 3: do they. I guess it's so close and so similar
31:59
Speaker 3: way would you? And we're a bit poorer eight hundred
32:02
Speaker 3: and sixty nine Australian citizens during the year it is
32:05
Speaker 3: five to two bread There is numbers. Very good.
32:09
Speaker 17: I'm really well, thank you. The trick is the gap.
32:13
Speaker 17: The gap is smaller than it was. We've always literally
32:16
Speaker 17: always lost people to Australia.
32:18
Speaker 3: Literally a market gap, isn't it.
32:21
Speaker 17: It is a gap, but it's always been a game.
32:23
Speaker 17: Best years were three thousand, we got down to three
32:25
Speaker 17: thousand loss and the worst years are about forty seven
32:28
Speaker 17: forty eight thousand. So at thirty something we're getting better
32:31
Speaker 17: than we were.
32:32
Speaker 3: Still agreed in part, which was always the John King,
32:35
Speaker 3: that it was exactly right. Hey, would you ever run
32:37
Speaker 3: for parliament? Absolutely not No.
32:39
Speaker 17: And I know Paul well, Paul and I go back years, decades,
32:43
Speaker 17: and I'm a little bit surprised because it's one thing
32:47
Speaker 17: to what he says. I'm pleased and proud of them
32:50
Speaker 17: in the sense you want to make a contribution.
32:53
Speaker 3: I like that. But at the same time, you've got
32:55
Speaker 3: a yacht, you've got multiple houses, and you've got a
32:58
Speaker 3: lot of money. Enjoy it.
33:00
Speaker 17: There's an element of that. But I think the thing
33:03
Speaker 17: is what I suspect is because we're sort of similar.
33:07
Speaker 17: I can't work in a team. I'm no good in
33:09
Speaker 17: a team. I wouldn't I just wouldn't last five minutes.
33:12
Speaker 17: And that and Viral, I haven't noticed it exactly and
33:15
Speaker 17: I don't think. I don't know that he will either,
33:18
Speaker 17: And I just wonder how long before he says something random?
33:21
Speaker 3: How how long before? How long does Seymour stay there?
33:25
Speaker 3: That's good, that's I don't think he's there for long.
33:27
Speaker 3: He's not a journeyman. He's not a let's make this
33:30
Speaker 3: a career. No, so he'll be looking who's going to
