Speaker 1: of the headlines on an early edition with Brian Bridge
1:10
Speaker 1: and r V Supercenter explore r VS accessories and servicing
1:14
Speaker 1: all in one news talk.
1:16
Speaker 2: Sa'd be the numbers text seven minutes after five. It
1:20
Speaker 2: is a bizarre photo opportunity that's going on right now
1:23
Speaker 2: in Egypt. So you've got Trump standing there on a stage,
1:27
Speaker 2: all the cameras flashing. You know, this is, by the way,
1:29
Speaker 2: as the hostages barely got themselves a cup of tea
1:32
Speaker 2: after being released. You know, the tanks are still in reverse,
1:35
Speaker 2: half in reverse. And you've got Trump there with leaders
1:38
Speaker 2: from all around the world desperate for a grip and
1:42
Speaker 2: grin and a handshake with him in a photo op
1:44
Speaker 2: and it's all happening. There's a giant sign beneath their
1:47
Speaker 2: feet that says peace twenty twenty five. So I mean,
1:51
Speaker 2: they seem pretty convinced that this thing's going to hold,
1:54
Speaker 2: even though there's no peace still signed yet. But here's
1:58
Speaker 2: the guest lists there from France. You've got Urduan, he's
2:03
Speaker 2: their starmers there, Maloney from Italy. Gutaris, the UN Secretary General,
2:07
Speaker 2: he's going to sort it all out. Of course. You've
2:09
Speaker 2: got leaders from Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Mertz is there from Germany.
2:15
Speaker 2: Even Karne's there from Canada. What's Carne got to do
2:18
Speaker 2: with any of this? Anyway, They're all there, and they
2:20
Speaker 2: are all currently shaking Trump's hand and getting a photo
2:25
Speaker 2: op and the piece in the Middle East. Yeah, celebrations,
2:29
Speaker 2: it's all sorted. Eight minutes after five. I had to
2:32
Speaker 2: laugh at the news last night when they said that
2:34
Speaker 2: teachers deserve a pay rise because student achievement is increasing
2:37
Speaker 2: this year. Does that mean we should dock their pay
2:41
Speaker 2: for all the years of crap performance like the last ten.
2:44
Speaker 2: If the indicators are going backwards, then shouldn't they pay
2:48
Speaker 2: follow suit? It made me laugh because this is a
2:50
Speaker 2: union and it's important to distinguish the unions from the
2:53
Speaker 2: teachers who hates the idea of performance pay. Teachers shouldn't
2:58
Speaker 2: be judged on how well their students performed, becase, because
3:00
Speaker 2: then the bad teachers wouldn't get paid. Most teachers are
3:03
Speaker 2: nothing like the hardcore, meliciant types that you see on
3:05
Speaker 2: the television, but good people just trying to teach our kids'
3:08
Speaker 2: basic stuff and most of the time they do all right.
3:11
Speaker 2: Sometimes usually when a government gets in the way, student
3:14
Speaker 2: achievement gets worse. So the big strike is looming. This
3:17
Speaker 2: is one hundred thousand workers across many different health education
3:22
Speaker 2: bunch of stuff, and everybody will be going on Instagram
3:25
Speaker 2: and asking whose side are you on you know who
3:27
Speaker 2: are you backing? The fact is this mega strike wouldn't
3:31
Speaker 2: be happening if labor was in government. That's not to
3:34
Speaker 2: say the union members don't want better pay, nor that
3:36
Speaker 2: they should be getting it. But let's not get ourselves.
3:38
Speaker 2: The mega strikes as much about unions hating luxen and
3:42
Speaker 2: wanting to change the government as it is about paying conditions.
3:46
Speaker 2: Bryan Bridge five ten on News Talk z B, We'll
3:49
Speaker 2: get to Marco Rubio's former chief of staff for his
3:51
Speaker 2: presidential campaign, on this deal that's hopefully going to I mean,
3:56
Speaker 2: they've put the cart before the horse. They're taking the
3:58
Speaker 2: photos before the things. But peace in the Middle East.
4:02
Speaker 2: Everybody on your Tuesday morning news Talk set.
4:04
Speaker 1: B News and Views you trust to start your day.
4:08
Speaker 1: It's earlier this ship with Bryan Bridge and r V
4:11
Speaker 1: Supercenter next four, r v's accessories at Servicing fall and
4:15
Speaker 1: one News Talk.
4:16
Speaker 2: Set B five twelve. The PSI services sector. This is
4:19
Speaker 2: seventy percent of our economy still in contraction mode. Unfortunately,
4:23
Speaker 2: September's read was forty eight point three, August was forty
4:26
Speaker 2: seven point five, so it is better, but still not
4:28
Speaker 2: above fifty, which is growing. That is now nineteen months
4:32
Speaker 2: of contraction for the services sector and comes of course
4:35
Speaker 2: after Friday we got the manufacturing number, which is also
4:39
Speaker 2: going backwards and bridge read by twelve. Big peace summit
4:42
Speaker 2: underway in Egypt. Hostages released, Palestinian prisoners handed over. So far,
4:46
Speaker 2: so good. Here's Trump addressing Israel's parliament today.
4:49
Speaker 5: The skys are calm, the guns are silent, the sirens
4:52
Speaker 5: are still, and the sun rises on.
4:55
Speaker 3: A holy land that is finally at peace.
4:59
Speaker 2: Right Joining us this morning is a Matt Tyrold, former
5:01
Speaker 2: chief of staff for Mica Rubio's twenty sixteen presidential campaign. Met.
5:05
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good to have you on the show.
5:07
Speaker 4: Great to be with you, Thanks for having me.
5:09
Speaker 2: I know that the photo ops are happening. There's a
5:12
Speaker 2: lot of grip and grinning going on. But is it
5:14
Speaker 2: too early to say this is a peace deal?
5:18
Speaker 4: Well, look, I think this is a piece deal. Obviously
5:20
Speaker 4: more work needs to be done. But the first step
5:23
Speaker 4: and getting to this piece deal was getting these hostages home,
5:26
Speaker 4: and it's great to see that happen here. So this
5:29
Speaker 4: is a really an amazing thing to watch, the first
5:32
Speaker 4: step to full peace in the region. Really, in terms
5:36
Speaker 4: of end of this war as well was getting these
5:38
Speaker 4: hostages home. Obviously, more work needs to be done, but
5:41
Speaker 4: you're seeing President Trump already underway. And the bigger element
5:44
Speaker 4: of this is that this isn't just President Trump doing this. Obviously,
5:47
Speaker 4: this would not be done, it would not be achieved
5:49
Speaker 4: without President Trump. But what he's done has been brilliant.
5:52
Speaker 4: He put together a coalition of Arab and Muslim countries,
5:56
Speaker 4: for example, to come to the table, put pressure on
5:59
Speaker 4: Hamas and help me this happen. But ultimately, if it
6:02
Speaker 4: was about President Trump's leadership, this would not be happening.
6:05
Speaker 4: Right now. You have a I think a great opportunity
6:08
Speaker 4: here to the forge lasting piece. But this is a
6:10
Speaker 4: piece deal. More work needs to be done, but a great
6:12
Speaker 4: day give theseag is home.
6:14
Speaker 2: There is a lot of talk this morning about who's
6:16
Speaker 2: gets the credit that kind of thing. How's it playing
6:19
Speaker 2: out in the media in America? Are they, you know,
6:21
Speaker 2: are those more lift wing outlets happy to say this
6:25
Speaker 2: is down to Trump and congratulations mister President.
6:29
Speaker 4: Well, look, you're even seeing Secretary former Secretary of State
6:32
Speaker 4: Hillary Clinton and former Vice President Kamala Harris praise President
6:37
Speaker 4: Trump in terms of what he's accomplished here. I think
6:38
Speaker 4: Republicans and Democrats alike recognize that this was a major challenge.
6:44
Speaker 4: And look throughout my lifetime, I've never seen peace in
6:47
Speaker 4: the Middle East, and you're seeing it now today with
6:50
Speaker 4: the return of these hostages. And what you've seen here
6:52
Speaker 4: is that this didn't happen overnight. You know, President Trump
6:55
Speaker 4: has been working on this for months, and even in
6:58
Speaker 4: his first term with the Abraham Accords, you saw him
7:01
Speaker 4: making progress and trying to get peace in the Middle East.
7:03
Speaker 4: But ultimately we saw on his second term here was
7:06
Speaker 4: him go to the Middle East and meet with leaders
7:08
Speaker 4: in Saudi Arabia, guitar the UAE. You know, He's had
7:12
Speaker 4: relationships in the region but also also worldwide, and you're
7:16
Speaker 4: seeing those leaders today in Egypt shaking hands with the
7:20
Speaker 4: President Trump, you know, taking pictures with President Trump. This
7:24
Speaker 4: was a brilliant move by the President. He put together
7:27
Speaker 4: an effective coalition of world leaders to come together. Par
7:30
Speaker 4: took me those world leaders in neighboring countries to put
7:33
Speaker 4: the necessary pressure on Hamas and to help make this
7:36
Speaker 4: day happen. But it started with President Trump making these
7:39
Speaker 4: relationships happen. And it comes down in relationships, you know, negotiation,
7:43
Speaker 4: is about relationships, and President Trump has strong relationships with
7:48
Speaker 4: these Arab and Muslim world leaders, strong relationships with leaders
7:52
Speaker 4: around the world. That on top of that, you know
7:55
Speaker 4: the bombing on Iran, you know that that was instrumental
7:58
Speaker 4: in helping him get here. So it's been a multipoint
8:00
Speaker 4: approach by President Trump. The critic goes to hand the
8:02
Speaker 4: Secretary of Rubio, Steve Wickoff, Jared Kushner of Arka Trump.
8:06
Speaker 4: But there's so many other people within Prosident Trump's administration
8:09
Speaker 4: who helped make this happen. It's been a team effort.
8:11
Speaker 4: But again I go back to only one world leader
8:14
Speaker 4: might have open. You could a gotten that's done. That
8:16
Speaker 4: world leader's name is Prosident Donald J. Trump.
8:18
Speaker 2: Appreciate your time. Matt Matt Terrell, who's former chief staff
8:20
Speaker 2: to Mark A. Rubio sixteen after five Ryan Bridge Home.
8:24
Speaker 2: By the way, this is from Grant. I quite like
8:26
Speaker 2: this one. Grant, So the war is over. It must
8:28
Speaker 2: have been the priests that chained themselves to Nicholas office. Yeah,
8:31
Speaker 2: I'm sure they had something to do with it. Grant
8:33
Speaker 2: food Stuff's North Island is partnered with a packaging company
8:37
Speaker 2: and this is all about a green and nothing wrong
8:39
Speaker 2: with them doing this. Okay, you can do what you like.
8:41
Speaker 2: You're a private business. But this is a returnable deli
8:45
Speaker 2: containers because they want to get rid of the single
8:48
Speaker 2: use plastics. So what you do is you buy your
8:52
Speaker 2: deli goods in a reusable container. You tap your card
8:56
Speaker 2: or your phone or your wallet or whatever. You tap
8:59
Speaker 2: that and and then you go away. You each your
9:02
Speaker 2: deli food, and then within four weeks you have to
9:05
Speaker 2: come back and give the container back tap your card
9:08
Speaker 2: and then you don't get charged. If you don't come
9:10
Speaker 2: back within four weeks, then you are charged three dollars. Now,
9:15
Speaker 2: what's wrong with the story? Nothing really, except for the
9:18
Speaker 2: fact that the government is putting in three hundred and
9:20
Speaker 2: twenty nine thousand dollars to enable this trial. Bring your
9:26
Speaker 2: own plan if you want to, I don't care like,
9:28
Speaker 2: bring your own containers. You know, if you want to
9:31
Speaker 2: be Captain Planet, go right ahead, bring your own containers.
9:35
Speaker 2: Why do we need government money going into this? I
9:39
Speaker 2: don't understand it. Seventeen after five Newstalks FB.
9:43
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge on early edition with r VS Supercenter explore
9:48
Speaker 1: RVs excess or reasons servicing All in one News talks.
9:51
Speaker 2: FB five twenty will look at the education results just
9:54
Speaker 2: before six this morning and find out whether they are
9:57
Speaker 2: actually meaningful, whether there is too early to say. Right now,
10:00
Speaker 2: the Aussies are helping push us towards our first pre
10:02
Speaker 2: COVID tourism summer stats in ZED numbers two hundred and
10:06
Speaker 2: thirty thousand terurists for August. That's an increase of sixteen
10:08
Speaker 2: thousand on last year. August was ninety two percent of
10:11
Speaker 2: pre COVID. Cath O'Brien is Barnes TEEP executive director with
10:16
Speaker 2: us this morning, Kat, Good morning.
10:18
Speaker 6: Good morning Ryan.
10:19
Speaker 2: So how confident are you we will hit pre COVID
10:23
Speaker 2: this summer?
10:24
Speaker 7: Well, look, I think we might get close. And it's
10:27
Speaker 7: been a long time since I've been talking about some
10:29
Speaker 7: good news, so I'm really pleased to see these August
10:33
Speaker 7: numbers and I think it's really promising for summer.
10:36
Speaker 2: Okay, that's good. Are we a little obsessed with the
10:39
Speaker 2: pre COVID thing. Shouldn't we be ahead of it already?
10:42
Speaker 2: You know?
10:42
Speaker 8: Yeah?
10:43
Speaker 7: I mean for sure we were later to open and
10:45
Speaker 7: I think, you know, it really as a product of
10:47
Speaker 7: this country being a really long way away from the
10:50
Speaker 7: rest of the world. And so our connections have taken
10:52
Speaker 7: longer to restore. But I think, you know, looking ahead
10:55
Speaker 7: to this summer, over the summer season, airlines are expecting
10:59
Speaker 7: to see eight point two percent increased capacity against last summer,
11:03
Speaker 7: so you know, really quite a lot more seats in
11:06
Speaker 7: the sky, and so the opportunity is there to hit
11:09
Speaker 7: our pre COVID numbers.
11:10
Speaker 2: Where is the capacity coming from?
11:13
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a range.
11:14
Speaker 7: I mean, you know, we've heard a lot about the
11:17
Speaker 7: Tasman capacity added by Cornus Group, and that's fantastic with
11:20
Speaker 7: the jetstile services and the new services to deneed it
11:23
Speaker 7: into Hamilton. But I would also say there's a range
11:26
Speaker 7: of other sort of additional growth that's come into New Zealand,
11:31
Speaker 7: and that comes from a range of destinations. So the
11:33
Speaker 7: America's you know, Singapore, Hong Kong, you know, all those
11:38
Speaker 7: markets have grown in terms of airline capacity.
11:41
Speaker 2: Which is good, which is what we need because if
11:43
Speaker 2: we rely just on the Aussies or the Aussies to
11:45
Speaker 2: do the heavy lifting, they don't stay as long and
11:47
Speaker 2: spend as much here, right, Yeah.
11:50
Speaker 7: I mean the Tasman travel always has been a substantial
11:52
Speaker 7: part of the New Zealand market. So it's really important
11:55
Speaker 7: and I think, you know, we would welcome any visitor,
11:58
Speaker 7: would we not, So I think it's great to see
12:01
Speaker 7: those of these coming. But it's also great to see
12:03
Speaker 7: the internationals coming over summer. And I really hope this
12:06
Speaker 7: is meaningful for tourism, isn't of the cross New Zealand
12:09
Speaker 7: who have been waiting a long time to see this recovery?
12:11
Speaker 2: Very long time indeed, And as you say, nice to
12:14
Speaker 2: have some even a glimmer of some good news on
12:16
Speaker 2: the tourism Frontkah, thank you, it really is. Thank you,
12:19
Speaker 2: Ryan Keath, Ryan Barnes, Executive director.
12:21
Speaker 8: Time.
12:22
Speaker 2: It's twenty two minutes after five News talks the b
12:24
Speaker 2: Ryan back to the bad news because that was all
12:27
Speaker 2: too positive for a second, wasn't it. So statsn ZI,
12:29
Speaker 2: this is a number of this is your migration numbers.
12:32
Speaker 2: I mean it is bad, but it's it's good and bad.
12:36
Speaker 2: So number of New Zealand citizens leaving long term peaked
12:40
Speaker 2: at about seven thousand, six hundred in January this year.
12:44
Speaker 2: Since then it's actually been declining. This is New Zealand
12:47
Speaker 2: citizens leaving long term. In August it was five six hundred,
12:53
Speaker 2: so two thousand less okay, lowest number in any month
12:57
Speaker 2: since November last year. But citizens returning here has also
13:03
Speaker 2: been in steady decline this throughout this year, from about
13:07
Speaker 2: twenty four hundred and January to about sixteen hundred in August.
13:10
Speaker 2: So we have a net loss of about almost four
13:15
Speaker 2: thousand for August, a net loss of about four thousand
13:17
Speaker 2: for August, but that net loss is also declining. It
13:21
Speaker 2: was more than five thousand in January. So overall, yes,
13:25
Speaker 2: it's bad, but it's getting less bad as we go on,
13:30
Speaker 2: and we are still in positive territory, of course, once
13:32
Speaker 2: you add in the new migrants. But it's funny. I'm
13:35
Speaker 2: going to talk to you about house prices. We've got
13:37
Speaker 2: an update on that coming for you next. You know,
13:39
Speaker 2: funny the house prices and migration. We bitch and moan
13:44
Speaker 2: when they're going up. Oh, it's too expensive for theirstyle,
13:46
Speaker 2: there's too many migrants. But then when it dries up,
13:50
Speaker 2: we are equally as depressed. So what do we really want?
13:54
Speaker 2: Twenty four after five News Talk SEB.
13:57
Speaker 1: The early edition full the show podcast on radio powered
14:01
Speaker 1: by News.
14:01
Speaker 4: Talks at B.
14:04
Speaker 2: Five. Twenty six News Talks A be Let's go to
14:06
Speaker 2: Trump he's in Egypt for this peace summit, Giant, Big
14:09
Speaker 2: Sciences Peace twenty twenty five years. The hostages have been
14:12
Speaker 2: handed over and he's now talking and I'll tell you
14:19
Speaker 2: what he's going to say in just a second.
14:22
Speaker 3: This was the.
14:23
Speaker 2: One, This was the granddaddy of the role, and frankly,
14:26
Speaker 2: I thought this was probably going to be the toughest
14:29
Speaker 2: and maybe into many wheres.
14:30
Speaker 1: It was.
14:30
Speaker 3: But we're leading Vic Dallen, Steve.
14:33
Speaker 9: Witcoves, Jared Marco, p.
14:37
Speaker 4: General Kny.
14:38
Speaker 3: He's so bad.
14:40
Speaker 1: Giant Ratcliffe was incredible.
14:42
Speaker 10: We had an amazing array.
14:45
Speaker 5: Of talent and we were out to play, in particular
14:48
Speaker 5: the countries represented at this table.
14:51
Speaker 2: So yes, he is congratulating himself, is patting himself on
14:55
Speaker 2: the back, But to be fair to him, he is
14:56
Speaker 2: also sharing the love with all of the leaders that
14:58
Speaker 2: there's about twenty of them have gathered in Egypt for
15:01
Speaker 2: this peace summit. Time now twenty seven after five. Shot
15:04
Speaker 2: the numbers for you this morning. Qv House Price Index.
15:07
Speaker 2: This is for the September quarter going backwards and Auckland
15:10
Speaker 2: leading the fall. Homes are worth an average of one
15:13
Speaker 2: point one percent less Auckland's two and a half percent
15:16
Speaker 2: less this is over the quarter, and how does that
15:18
Speaker 2: make you feel? Really? Most homeowners, of course, won't care
15:22
Speaker 2: because they're not trying to sell their houses right now.
15:24
Speaker 2: But for those who aren't depressing, first home buyers love it.
15:28
Speaker 2: They're cranking at the moment. They're a quarter of new
15:30
Speaker 2: mortgages first home buyers first half of this year a quarter.
15:35
Speaker 2: So we've got to ask ourselves, is this really what
15:38
Speaker 2: we want? When the numbers are bad for owners and
15:40
Speaker 2: for homeowners, they're good for would be owners. We're forever
15:44
Speaker 2: complaining about the price of property until we need to
15:47
Speaker 2: sell it. So if this is the new normal, then
15:50
Speaker 2: we better get used to it. It's interesting to look
15:53
Speaker 2: at what is selling as well, because we had another developer,
15:56
Speaker 2: this is an Auckland apartments. Go bust yesterday and have
16:00
Speaker 2: a look at the apartments, even the nice ones that
16:03
Speaker 2: they were building. Is that really somewhere you would want
16:06
Speaker 2: to live. Guess what's not selling. It's the new builds
16:10
Speaker 2: without car parks. This idea that somebody will want to
16:13
Speaker 2: buy a shoe box and catch a bus is clearly
16:16
Speaker 2: not working out in the way that they intended. They
16:18
Speaker 2: are taking the longest time to sell turns out people
16:21
Speaker 2: also like privacy. Who would have thought quite an important factor.
16:24
Speaker 2: The biggest story here is that prices are lower and
16:28
Speaker 2: deep down. Even though we say we want to fix
16:30
Speaker 2: the housing crisis, most people aren't happy about it.
16:34
Speaker 1: Brian Breadwi.
16:43
Speaker 2: Twenty eight minutes after five, Katie Perry and Justin Trudeau
16:48
Speaker 2: are officially a thing. The climate warrior in Tradeau was
16:52
Speaker 2: seen on board her yacht, presumably after getting off her
16:56
Speaker 2: private jet, canoodling and kissing. She's split from Orlando Bloom
17:01
Speaker 2: and they didn't care if they were photographed. This was
17:04
Speaker 2: all happening in Santa Barbara, California, hardly a discrete location.
17:08
Speaker 2: He even grabbed her butt with their togs. The photographers
17:11
Speaker 2: caught that on camera. Two are settled up next to
17:14
Speaker 2: a whale watching boat and they were kissing and smooching.
17:18
Speaker 2: I mean, congratulations to them, so long as they're happy.
17:20
Speaker 2: Twenty nine after five, we'll be in Australia with Donod

17:59
Speaker 5: for a peace in the mid least Hillary and Carmela
18:01
Speaker 5: already have?
18:02
Speaker 2: The other question is will jan Tonedi congratulate Erica on
18:05
Speaker 2: these education numbers this morning? If neither of them do,
18:09
Speaker 2: do they really care about the causes or are they
18:11
Speaker 2: just playing politics with them? And should they in future
18:14
Speaker 2: be ignored. We'll talk to a principle on PHONUX before six.
18:18
Speaker 2: Donna to Mayo with us out of Australia next Bridge
18:22
Speaker 2: first to have reporters around the country. Callum Proctor and
18:24
Speaker 2: Denedan Callum, good morning.
18:27
Speaker 4: Morning.
18:27
Speaker 2: Right now we've got a people focus from the new
18:31
Speaker 2: Dunedin mayor. What does that mean?
18:34
Speaker 11: Well, this is this Sophie Barker is saying she's looking
18:37
Speaker 11: to improving council culture with a relatively new lock council
18:42
Speaker 11: here in Dunedin. Barker confirmed as the new mayor elects
18:46
Speaker 11: for the city, narrowly of a businessman Andrews Sims. The
18:49
Speaker 11: previous Muntual's Radick finished fourth in the mayoral race. This
18:52
Speaker 11: time it retains a seat on council. There are six
18:55
Speaker 11: new faces. So Sophie Barker says she will look to
18:59
Speaker 11: improve culture. She describes her leadership style as inclusive and
19:03
Speaker 11: she wants to bring people together. Meanwhile, Ryan, the Central
19:07
Speaker 11: Otago District councils addressing public concerns about Vincent Ward councilor
19:12
Speaker 11: elect Dave McKenzie. It's been made aware of alleged unethical
19:16
Speaker 11: conduct from McKenzie while he worked as a contractor for
19:19
Speaker 11: the council. So they're reviewing findings from a previous investigation.
19:23
Speaker 2: So interesting, calem. How's your weather our chance.
19:26
Speaker 11: Of showers through the day today, Winston Northeast, the High thirteenth.
19:30
Speaker 2: All right, thank you, Claires and christ it's clear, good morning,
19:33
Speaker 2: Good morning. What's going on at the new stadium?
19:35
Speaker 12: Yeah, well, the first event at the new stadium has
19:38
Speaker 12: been revealed this morning, Ryan, and listen. It does involve
19:41
Speaker 12: the Crusaders, but no, it's not a rugby match. Instead
19:44
Speaker 12: the full Bally's Full House virtual fundraiser. Well, how to
19:47
Speaker 12: give people a first look inside the stadium and also
19:51
Speaker 12: mark the launch of the ticket Master venue map. Tickets
19:55
Speaker 12: will cost eight dollars fifty then all of the proceeds
19:57
Speaker 12: will go to a charity called Full Ballet. The christ
20:00
Speaker 12: Church based organization helps families in need by providing children
20:04
Speaker 12: with food delivered to schools now venues. Auto Tahie Chief
20:08
Speaker 12: executive Caroline Harvey Tier says this is a charity that
20:11
Speaker 12: already partners with the Crusaders. She says, Full Valleys feeds
20:14
Speaker 12: kids that simply fall through the cracks, which they think
20:17
Speaker 12: aligns very nicely with venues Auto Tahi.
20:20
Speaker 2: Oh nice, So no one I'll actually get to go
20:22
Speaker 2: inside as virtual this thing exactly.
20:24
Speaker 8: Yeah, not a look inside.
20:26
Speaker 2: Just yeskay, all right, how's your weather?
20:29
Speaker 12: Mostly cloudy? There is the odd shower about mainly early today,
20:32
Speaker 12: then cloud breaking up by evening. Southerly's turning northeasterly and
20:36
Speaker 12: thirteen degrees.
20:37
Speaker 2: Here's clear. Have good day, Max, and good morning to you.
20:40
Speaker 10: Good morning.
20:40
Speaker 2: Andrew Little's right into it. The Golden Mile review underway.
20:44
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's right, a new mayor, let's see if there
20:46
Speaker 10: are new ideas. Yeah, it is effectively paused. I think
20:49
Speaker 10: now that would be fair to say the Golden Mile
20:51
Speaker 10: plan to pedestrianized Courtney Place to Lambton Keino cars just buses.
20:56
Speaker 10: It was, of course, Tori Fino's flagship project. Bill hasn't
21:00
Speaker 10: actually started proper. There's preliminary work going on at the
21:03
Speaker 10: top of Courtney Place, but we're still quite a few
21:06
Speaker 10: years away from it being finished, let alone starting a
21:09
Speaker 10: little bit a bit coy about it. What he's implying
21:11
Speaker 10: is it's just not worth the cost right now, and
21:14
Speaker 10: it is already being reviewed. All the businesses along that
21:17
Speaker 10: stretch don't want it. The public is mixed. It means
21:20
Speaker 10: years of roadworks. An argument that Tory and her officials
21:23
Speaker 10: made is that scrapping it would be throwing away free money,
21:27
Speaker 10: that there's already government funding secured. Why waste that? But
21:30
Speaker 10: little He was in the studio yesterday talking to Nick
21:33
Speaker 10: Nick Mills. He did talk some sense, pointing out that
21:35
Speaker 10: the council still needs to pay its share as well.
21:37
Speaker 10: We need to pay for it as well as the government.
21:40
Speaker 10: There's no such thing as free money. He also says
21:42
Speaker 10: he's spoken already to every counselor. He wants them all
21:45
Speaker 10: on board. No more Crown Observer needed, thank you very much,
21:47
Speaker 10: No more gossip. He's hiring a new team. It is
21:50
Speaker 10: now day two.
21:51
Speaker 2: No more pendulous brist.
21:53
Speaker 10: Exactly how well we'll see about that.
21:57
Speaker 2: Ray Chang still there, isn't he so sure? Yes?
21:59
Speaker 10: Yes, but his enemy number one is gone from council.
22:03
Speaker 10: The one upside for mister Chunk mostly cloudy today. Southerly's
22:06
Speaker 10: developing fifteen. The high Central cheers Max morning, never good morning.
22:10
Speaker 2: How are we?
22:11
Speaker 10: We're good?
22:12
Speaker 2: Now? There's a e waste concerns this morning because Windows
22:15
Speaker 2: ten expires today.
22:16
Speaker 8: Yes, did you know about that?
22:18
Speaker 2: I heard of only because I got at home. Honestly,
22:21
Speaker 2: I wouldn't even know.
22:23
Speaker 8: Yeah, I was just trying to figure out what I
22:25
Speaker 8: want at home. I think I might have updated to Windows.
22:29
Speaker 2: What are we up to? Are we up to?
22:30
Speaker 8: We're up to eleven?
22:31
Speaker 2: Eleven?
22:32
Speaker 8: Yeah, you're up to.
22:33
Speaker 2: If you're not on eleven and you're on ten today,
22:35
Speaker 2: it'll stop working.
22:36
Speaker 8: It'll stop working. So you know you've got Yeah, and look,
22:38
Speaker 8: you've your best too. You can just stay on ten
22:42
Speaker 8: and just have but still obviously pay for that because
22:45
Speaker 8: it's all about the security and the security that you'll
22:48
Speaker 8: you get.
22:48
Speaker 2: You get hacked, Yeah, you get hacked.
22:50
Speaker 8: So you needed that security for up to another year
22:52
Speaker 8: for ten. But I think most people are kind of
22:54
Speaker 8: making that little We jumped to eleven. Yeah, So Microsoft
22:58
Speaker 8: is telling its customers, Update, Update pay, extend the support
23:02
Speaker 8: for that security for another year. But the Auckland Council
23:05
Speaker 8: like with all of that, it's doubt was more than
23:08
Speaker 8: a dozen rubbish truck fires this year caused by discarded
23:12
Speaker 8: lithium iron batteries. They're saying, look, computers and laptops also
23:16
Speaker 8: contain these batteries. So with that, you know Windows ten
23:19
Speaker 8: expiring today, you know, just make sure you just sort
23:23
Speaker 8: all of this out.
23:24
Speaker 2: And it's just that, don't throw it away.
23:26
Speaker 10: Don't throw it.
23:27
Speaker 8: Away, that's right. Well we can catch fire real.
23:29
Speaker 2: Fast, yeah they can too.
23:30
Speaker 8: House our weather rain, easy to scatter shels in the
23:33
Speaker 8: afternoon clearing Tonight nineteen is high here in Auckland.
23:36
Speaker 2: Brilliant think you Neva Great to see you as always.
23:38
Speaker 2: It is eighteen minutes away from six. On news Talk,
23:40
Speaker 2: zaid b loads of texts on both housing and immigration, Ryan,
23:47
Speaker 2: good morning, Good to have you d This is from George.
23:51
Speaker 2: It's patinally obvious that this country needs large immigration levels
23:54
Speaker 2: to have a growing economy, and why this isn't being
23:57
Speaker 2: spelled out by all economic experts is yond me. Are
24:01
Speaker 2: they afraid of these xenophobic backlash? I think so? Says
24:04
Speaker 2: Dave Ryan. This is on housing from rob The market
24:08
Speaker 2: has spoken we do not want apartments with no car parks.
24:12
Speaker 2: You get the ministers keep trying to ram these, including
24:15
Speaker 2: Chris Bishop, down our throats. I mean there is truth
24:18
Speaker 2: in that. If you look at what's not selling, what's
24:20
Speaker 2: taking the longest to sell, it's apartments that have no
24:23
Speaker 2: indoor outdoor flow, apartments that are too small and poky,
24:27
Speaker 2: and apartments that don't have car parks. Seventeen to six.
24:30
Speaker 2: We're in Australia. Next on News Talk SEB. If you
24:33
Speaker 2: run a small business, you know how annoying it is
24:35
Speaker 2: waiting to get paid. You finish a job, you send
24:37
Speaker 2: an invoice, and then you spend weeks chasing people up
24:40
Speaker 2: like some sort of debt collector. Well you're not. Zero's
24:44
Speaker 2: tap to pay power by Stripe changes all of this completely,
24:46
Speaker 2: changes of the game. Your customer taps their card on
24:49
Speaker 2: your phone, Boom, You're paid on the spot. No fancy
24:52
Speaker 2: payment terminal needed, just the zero accounting app. And here's
24:56
Speaker 2: the really smart bit. Once the payment goes through, the
24:58
Speaker 2: invoice is automatically marked as paid in zero, ready to
25:01
Speaker 2: be reconciled. Less admen, less mucking around, less paperwork, more
25:05
Speaker 2: time running your actual business, the thing you wanted to
25:08
Speaker 2: be doing in the first place. It's secure an instant.
25:11
Speaker 2: It keeps your cash flow moving instead of grinding to
25:13
Speaker 2: a hold every month. Accept payments on the spot as
25:16
Speaker 2: soon as the job's complete. No more awkward I'll get
25:19
Speaker 2: that invoice to your kind of conversations. For small businesses,
25:22
Speaker 2: this could genuinely be a game changer. Less time chasing
25:26
Speaker 2: late payments, more time focusing on what you do best.
25:29
Speaker 2: Supercharge your business with zero tap to pay, Getting paid
25:32
Speaker 2: has got a whole lot easier search, zero tap to pay.
25:36
Speaker 1: International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of mind
25:40
Speaker 1: for New Zealand business.
25:42
Speaker 2: Education numbers in a second fourteen to six donat a
25:44
Speaker 2: moment out of Australia done a good morning.
25:46
Speaker 9: Good morning.
25:47
Speaker 2: Quantus customers aren't very happy about this data breach and
25:50
Speaker 2: now it's on the dark web.
25:52
Speaker 9: Yes that's true, So just a little refresher. It was
25:54
Speaker 9: in July that these cyber criminals treat a Quantus call
25:57
Speaker 9: center worker in the Philippines into handing over access to
26:00
Speaker 9: customer information. Now these customers are voicing their concerns because
26:05
Speaker 9: their personal data has been posted on the dark web
26:08
Speaker 9: at the weekend. So the cyber crime collective had demanded
26:11
Speaker 9: a ransom and the deadline passed and Quantus did not pay.
26:16
Speaker 9: This impacts up to five point seven million Quantus customers.
26:20
Speaker 9: So now there's a lot of questions being posed, and
26:23
Speaker 9: one of them is it's unclear at this point if
26:25
Speaker 9: Quantus will be blamed perhaps for any privacy law breaches
26:29
Speaker 9: that follow the release of the information on the dark web.
26:33
Speaker 9: What about will the airline face financial penalties after the
26:37
Speaker 9: data was stolen? And so some customers now are just
26:40
Speaker 9: saying that they have you know, one of them said,
26:42
Speaker 9: I haven't even heard directly from Quantus. There's a lot
26:45
Speaker 9: of let's just say, a lot of frustrated and anxious
26:48
Speaker 9: people out there, and we've heard from the cyber experts
26:50
Speaker 9: out there say just stay vigilant. Not so reassuring.
26:54
Speaker 2: I would say, this is the problem. I was talking
26:56
Speaker 2: about this yesterday. Donna. You can't help but give your
26:59
Speaker 2: inform away because they require an of you. You've got
27:02
Speaker 2: no choice, you know, that's absolutely Hey, which were's the
27:06
Speaker 2: crime capital of Australia? Which state gets the honors?
27:09
Speaker 9: Are you intrigued? Well, the latest figures have identified the
27:12
Speaker 9: car theft capital of Australia and yes it is Victoria.
27:17
Speaker 9: In the past year there's been a forty one percent
27:20
Speaker 9: increase in motor vehicle theft and that's the highest recorded
27:24
Speaker 9: number since two thousand and three. So they've calculated every
27:27
Speaker 9: forty four minutes or so an insurer is getting a
27:30
Speaker 9: call about a car theft or attempted break in. In
27:33
Speaker 9: New South Wales, comparatively, there was an increase of only
27:37
Speaker 9: six percent. So we've heard from the Crime Statistics Agency
27:41
Speaker 9: and it shows that over twelve months, six hundred and
27:43
Speaker 9: thirty eight thousand criminal incidents have occurred and about one
27:47
Speaker 9: hundred and twenty thousand incidents relate to cars. The state
27:50
Speaker 9: governments have responded. We've had a comment from the State
27:53
Speaker 9: of Police are out there every single day addressing this
27:56
Speaker 9: type of offending.
27:58
Speaker 2: That is all I appreciate you had signed Donald tom
28:01
Speaker 2: out of Australia. It is eleven away from six R
28:04
Speaker 2: and Bridge, so kids are reading better. This is phonics.
28:07
Speaker 2: The government's taking credit for it. Structured literacy data for
28:09
Speaker 2: new entrants year ones meeting or exceeding expectations that went
28:14
Speaker 2: from thirty six percent in term one not great, to
28:17
Speaker 2: fifty eight percent in term three, which sounds much better.
28:20
Speaker 2: Jason Miles's Kipoy North School principal and the vice president
28:24
Speaker 2: of Principal's Federation Jason, good morning morning, Ryan, So kid,
28:28
Speaker 2: is that as good? What does that actually mean? That number?
28:32
Speaker 6: Well, it is certainly positive news. You know, there's early
28:36
Speaker 6: signs that data from the Ministry is showing the positive
28:40
Speaker 6: trends and how our five year olds are developing for
28:43
Speaker 6: netic awareness, which is teaching sounds or phonemes to letters,
28:50
Speaker 6: which is a grapme, but it's not necessarily an ability
28:54
Speaker 6: to read the meaning.
28:56
Speaker 2: So what else could we be missing out on if
29:00
Speaker 2: we're focusing on this at the expense of.
29:02
Speaker 6: What No, don't get me wrong, it's very important. It's
29:07
Speaker 6: essential that children can decode words and this is the
29:12
Speaker 6: start of the reading journey. So you know, these foundation
29:16
Speaker 6: skills are essential. But what this isn't giving is a
29:20
Speaker 6: full picture of a child's ability to read. And at
29:24
Speaker 6: five year old five years old, this is the most
29:26
Speaker 6: important aspect.
29:27
Speaker 2: Right, So for this age group thirty six percent in
29:32
Speaker 2: term one to fifty eight percent, you'd have to say
29:34
Speaker 2: they are far better equipped to be able to read
29:38
Speaker 2: than they were two terms ago.
29:41
Speaker 6: Well, so it is a very small data data set
29:45
Speaker 6: and you know, you've got to look this information in context.
29:49
Speaker 6: You know, it's a really positive trend that we're seeing,
29:53
Speaker 6: but as it's a small data set, we want to
29:55
Speaker 6: see this over time and schools that have been in
30:00
Speaker 6: the structured literacy space for a long time are aware
30:05
Speaker 6: of how much this is going to have an impact
30:07
Speaker 6: on teaching and reading right through New Zealand. But this
30:12
Speaker 6: is a great, great start.
30:14
Speaker 2: Okay, how many schools like, where's why is this not
30:18
Speaker 2: wider data? When do we get wider data?
30:21
Speaker 6: Well, the moment the phonics check data, it's voluntary where
30:27
Speaker 6: the schools put the data into the ministry. Next year
30:31
Speaker 6: it's going to be compulsory for all schools. So at
30:34
Speaker 6: that point we'll get a bigger data set and then
30:39
Speaker 6: we'll be able to look at the progress of children
30:42
Speaker 6: over time. So this is just looking at different children
30:47
Speaker 6: at twenty weeks. What we're interested in as educators is
30:53
Speaker 6: the improvement of children over time. So we'll check twenty weeks,
30:57
Speaker 6: then we'll check individual data forty weeks and compare.
31:01
Speaker 2: Okay, appreciate your time Jason Miles, who's a Chiapoy North
31:04
Speaker 2: School principle. It is eight to six News Talks.
31:07
Speaker 1: B, the first word on the News of the Day
31:10
Speaker 1: Early edition with Ryan Bridge and r V Super Center
31:14
Speaker 1: explore r v's accessories and servicing more than one News
31:18
Speaker 1: Talks FB.
31:19
Speaker 2: It is six to sex News Talks BE. Loads of
31:22
Speaker 2: texts on the principle we just had on the program, Ryan,
31:25
Speaker 2: could your call it, Jason not be more enthusiastic about
31:29
Speaker 2: the phonics results for the government, please, Ryan Jeep. It's
31:35
Speaker 2: hard for them to say, isn't it just congratulate Erica
31:37
Speaker 2: on the results. I mean, he does have a point.
31:39
Speaker 2: It's a small sample size, blah blah blah. And he
31:42
Speaker 2: did say to be fair, and he did say that
31:44
Speaker 2: it's moving in the right direction. Right. It is five
31:47
Speaker 2: to two now, Mike's in the studio. Good morning, Mike.
31:49
Speaker 5: Well, how can you not search moving in the right direction?
31:51
Speaker 5: Stats don't lie, do they at the end of the day.
31:53
Speaker 2: But it's a sample sized thing is relevant. It's only
31:56
Speaker 2: those schools that were you know, volunteered to give them
32:00
Speaker 2: all of that stuff.
32:01
Speaker 5: But if you're going to take a snapshot what I
32:03
Speaker 5: liked about it was the Q under Q three things.
32:05
Speaker 5: So we'll turn one to term three thing, which is
32:08
Speaker 5: comparatively speaking, a fairly short period of time totally. And
32:10
Speaker 5: so we talked to Erica this morning, and my big
32:12
Speaker 5: question will be whether this is sort of low hanging
32:14
Speaker 5: fruits of all the changes that are going on in education.
32:17
Speaker 5: Is that the sort of thing you'd expect to improve
32:20
Speaker 5: fairly rapidly if you suddenly introduce something. So I don't
32:22
Speaker 5: know the answer to.
32:23
Speaker 2: The basic thing for that year level. It's the basic
32:26
Speaker 2: thing for learning how to read? And so how have
32:30
Speaker 2: you let it be thirty six? So long?
32:32
Speaker 5: Very good question because it was asked at the press
32:34
Speaker 5: conference yesterday, and she referenced Kaiapoi North, which is just
32:39
Speaker 5: spoke to, yeah, which is a school that she went
32:42
Speaker 5: to and found some sort of inspiration out there to
32:44
Speaker 5: go forth in her crusade to change the lives of
32:47
Speaker 5: young people in this country. So anyway, that's where it
32:49
Speaker 5: came from. But it's a fair question, isn't it that
32:52
