- 0:01Speaker 1: The issues, the interviews and the inside. Ryan Bridge new
- 0:08Speaker 1: for twenty twenty four on an early edition with Smith City,
- 0:12Speaker 1: New Zealand's Furniture Vents and a play at store us Dogs.
- 0:15Speaker 2: It'd be good morning, welcome to your Thursday morning before six.
- 0:18Speaker 2: Why some young beneficiaries in fact, on average most of
- 0:22Speaker 2: them could spend twenty years on welfare in total. Gangs
- 0:26Speaker 2: of bashed cops at the Parmi Hospital. I'll tell you
- 0:29Speaker 2: more about that in New Zealand on the show this morning.
- 0:31Speaker 2: Using forestry slashed as jet fuel. Also much McCann is stateside.
- 0:37Speaker 2: It's six after five. The agenda this Thursday, the thirty
- 0:42Speaker 2: first of October. A lot of rain in Spain, torrential rain.
- 0:45Speaker 2: In fact, sixty two people have been killed overnight, and
- 0:48Speaker 2: flash flooding in the country's southeast.
- 0:51Speaker 3: We cannot see that this devastated episode is over. There
- 0:57Speaker 3: are still umber warnings asking those who live in this
- 1:02Speaker 3: region to be very very careful.
- 1:05Speaker 2: Good news for Karmala Harris this morning. On the economic front,
- 1:08Speaker 2: they've had their GDP release. This is up two point
- 1:11Speaker 2: eight percent annually. This is for the third quarter, but
- 1:13Speaker 2: it's an annualized rate. That's roughly two years of steady growth.
- 1:17Speaker 2: Now in the United States, the rate was lower than
- 1:19Speaker 2: the three point one percent that economists surveyed had picked,
- 1:23Speaker 2: though most Americans reckon Trump would do better on the economy. Meanwhile,
- 1:27Speaker 2: Grandpa Joe has entered the group chat, calling Trump's supporters
- 1:32Speaker 2: garbage after the whole Puerto Rico joke. Karmala Harris now
- 1:35Speaker 2: distancing himself from him to.
- 1:37Speaker 4: Clarified his comments. But let me be claire, I strongly
- 1:41Speaker 4: disagree with any criticism of people based on who.
- 1:47Speaker 5: The bull for.
- 1:48Speaker 2: Yeah, because we know that didn't go well for a
- 1:51Speaker 2: certain candidate last time.
- 1:52Speaker 5: You could put half of Trump's supporters and do what
- 1:55Speaker 5: I call the bouse the plurals.
- 2:01Speaker 2: Right right. They hated her for that, didn't they. Meanwhile,
- 2:07Speaker 2: Germany grew zero point two percent in quarter three, dunka
- 2:10Speaker 2: very much. They were worried about dipping back into recession.
- 2:13Speaker 2: They were down point three percent last quarter was largely
- 2:16Speaker 2: driven by household and government spending. This helped lift the
- 2:19Speaker 2: wider Eurozone, so the big boy doing the heavy lifting here.
- 2:24Speaker 2: Their economy was up the wide Eurozone point four percent,
- 2:27Speaker 2: double the point two economists had predicted. In the UK, overnight.
- 2:31Speaker 2: The new Labor government has delivered its first budget in
- 2:34Speaker 2: fourteen years after being frozen out by the Tories, and
- 2:37Speaker 2: they're doing what labor governments do, hiking taxes forty billion
- 2:41Speaker 2: pounds or eighty six billion New Zealand dollars.
- 2:44Speaker 6: Any chancellor standing here today would have to face this reality,
- 2:51Speaker 6: and any responsible chancellor would take.
- 2:54Speaker 2: Action looking at their budget. This is Rachel Reeves, you
- 2:58Speaker 2: heard there. Their new exchequers the largest increase in spending,
- 3:03Speaker 2: tax and borrowing, and the budget increases spending by seventy
- 3:07Speaker 2: billion dollars lead annually two thirds on current and one
- 3:11Speaker 2: third on capital spending. It's nine after five.
- 3:14Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with
- 3:19Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture, Beds and
- 3:22Speaker 1: a playing store.
- 3:23Speaker 2: Youth Talk said, be got an update for you shortly
- 3:26Speaker 2: on Elbow's upgrades as well. He released a statement lace
- 3:29Speaker 2: late last night. Right now, though we have wars going
- 3:32Speaker 2: on the Middle East, we've got a war in Europe,
- 3:34Speaker 2: and we've got always the threat of war in the Pacific.
- 3:37Speaker 2: And Trump and Harris, you know, they're both going helpful
- 3:40Speaker 2: leather saying we are going to stop the wars. Does
- 3:42Speaker 2: anyone really believe that no Putin's war has been going
- 3:46Speaker 2: on for two years now, the war with you know,
- 3:49Speaker 2: first it was Israel Hamas, now it's Israeli Bulla and Iran.
- 3:52Speaker 2: I mean, these things have been going on for years
- 3:54Speaker 2: and years and years, but this particular phase for at
- 3:56Speaker 2: least a year and only showing signs of heating up
- 4:00Speaker 2: up right. One thing I find interesting about this not
- 4:03Speaker 2: that the politicians are going to solve the problems. I
- 4:05Speaker 2: don't think they will, but it's the weaponry required to
- 4:09Speaker 2: wage these wars. It's kind of running out. The Wall
- 4:13Speaker 2: Street General has a really interesting piece about this, as
- 4:15Speaker 2: some types of air defense missiles are running out. Interceptors
- 4:19Speaker 2: are apparently the hot ticket item, hot property. They stop
- 4:23Speaker 2: missiles from Russia or Iran or Lebanon or whatever, or
- 4:26Speaker 2: the hooti attacks on ships in the Red Sea. They
- 4:29Speaker 2: stop those two. The most common type are ship launched
- 4:33Speaker 2: standard missiles. They sound like this, So the Pentagon apparently
- 4:40Speaker 2: has stockpiles of them, is worried about how many they have.
- 4:44Speaker 2: They don't tell the public how many they have left, obviously,
- 4:47Speaker 2: because that would be dumb to tell your enemies there
- 4:50Speaker 2: was no plan for prolonged wars in the Middle East
- 4:53Speaker 2: and Europe at the same time. So the fear is
- 4:57Speaker 2: that if things kicked off with China and the Pas,
- 5:01Speaker 2: well do they have enough weapons? Would they be able
- 5:04Speaker 2: to actually defend themselves. Let's just say it's a risk
- 5:08Speaker 2: and one that we should be worried about. Why don't
- 5:11Speaker 2: they just build more? I hear you ask, that was
- 5:13Speaker 2: my first question. Increasing production requires companies to increase new
- 5:17Speaker 2: production lines, hire more workers, invest expand, all without the
- 5:22Speaker 2: guarantee that the Pentagon the Americans will actually keep buying
- 5:26Speaker 2: the weapons at increase levels over the long term. And
- 5:29Speaker 2: that's the problem. You basically can't plan for wars. You
- 5:33Speaker 2: didn't plan for Cranbridge anyway. I just thought that was interesting,
- 5:42Speaker 2: and you know, it's not like, what are we going
- 5:44Speaker 2: to do our navy vessels, half of them at the
- 5:46Speaker 2: bottom of the ocean, So we kind of need the
- 5:49Speaker 2: Yanks right Just very quickly on Anthony Albinezi released a
- 5:53Speaker 2: statement late last night. They're obviously worried about the election
- 5:56Speaker 2: next year and the perception that he loves a freebie
- 6:00Speaker 2: after asking for an upgrade. He says, this is the
- 6:03Speaker 2: statement I never called Alan Joyce, the former Quanta's boss,
- 6:08Speaker 2: never called him to ask for the free flight upgrades,
- 6:10Speaker 2: which is what the original story said. Reporters go back
- 6:14Speaker 2: and say, did you text him or email him? No
- 6:18Speaker 2: reply to that one. So what do we reckon happen?
- 6:22Speaker 2: Twelve after five year on News Talk zibb.
- 6:31Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge new for twenty twenty four on early edition
- 6:35Speaker 1: with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store.
- 6:38Speaker 2: News Talk Zibby. Could your in New Zealand flight soon
- 6:42Speaker 2: be powered by wood forestry slash? We'll ask that question
- 6:45Speaker 2: inside the next twenty minutes. Right now, though another season
- 6:48Speaker 2: of sport, another season of sideline abuse. Police are revealed
- 6:52Speaker 2: they're still investigating a serious assault on a female football
- 6:55Speaker 2: coach from September. The ELLESLEIEFC volunteer was attacked opposing male
- 7:01Speaker 2: supporter following an Under ten's game. Laura Menzies is the
- 7:04Speaker 2: Northern Region Football Chief executive. She's with us this morning.
- 7:07Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning. How is that coach doing? Do
- 7:11Speaker 2: you know.
- 7:13Speaker 7: The last I heard she was, The last I heard
- 7:15Speaker 7: she was recovering at home. I mean, there's there's no
- 7:18Speaker 7: doubt that's a completely shocking incident that should shock us
- 7:21Speaker 7: in any example that our ound, never mind a football game.
- 7:25Speaker 2: Is this thing happening more and more, or that these
- 7:28Speaker 2: are one off?
- 7:30Speaker 7: I mean, there's a there's a huge spectrum when we
- 7:32Speaker 7: talk about sideline behavior. Somebody attacking somebody on the sideline
- 7:37Speaker 7: is an absolutely extreme which happens in very few circumstances.
- 7:41Speaker 7: Certainly not condoning the behavior in the slightest because it
- 7:43Speaker 7: should never happen. But no, this kind of thing is extreme,
- 7:47Speaker 7: does happen very rarely.
- 7:49Speaker 2: She was knocked unconscious apparently. I mean, it's just terrible,
- 7:52Speaker 2: isn't it.
- 7:53Speaker 3: Oh?
- 7:53Speaker 7: Absolutely, that absolutely is terrible. And I think the thing
- 7:56Speaker 7: is that kind of behavior wouldn't be okay if you're
- 7:58Speaker 7: at the supermarket or the bank or anywhere else in society.
- 8:01Speaker 7: There's not anywhere in our society where we allow someone
- 8:04Speaker 7: to go up to somebody else and knock them unconscious.
- 8:06Speaker 7: You know, that's why we have laws of the country.
- 8:08Speaker 7: There's no way that behavior is in any circumstances, is
- 8:12Speaker 7: even the slightest bit appropriate. Is it?
- 8:14Speaker 2: The parents? I mean, can you ban and I know
- 8:16Speaker 2: you shouldn't take your anger out on the kids or
- 8:19Speaker 2: you know, the punishment out on the kids, But do
- 8:21Speaker 2: you look at banning kids whose parents behave like that.
- 8:25Speaker 7: We don't generally ban the kids, but yes we can.
- 8:27Speaker 7: I mean, we do have a disciplinary co we do
- 8:29Speaker 7: have a code of conduct as a sport. Absolutely it
- 8:33Speaker 7: is possible and to ban parents according to their behavior
- 8:38Speaker 7: because in most cases, yes it's in most cases it
- 8:40Speaker 7: is the parents or it is sideline. People are not
- 8:42Speaker 7: always parents of kids. But yes, we can take action
- 8:46Speaker 7: against parents.
- 8:47Speaker 2: All right, Well, hopefully this particular coach is recovering. Well.
- 8:50Speaker 2: We thank you very much for your time. Laura, great
- 8:52Speaker 2: to have you on the program. That's Laura Menzi is
- 8:54Speaker 2: the Northern Region Football Chief Executive. It's seventeen minutes after five.
- 8:58Speaker 2: We're going to talk to in New Zealand next about
- 8:59Speaker 2: the plans for new improved sustainable jet fuel. Before six,
- 9:05Speaker 2: Carmel Sipoloni is here, Labor is going to have to
- 9:08Speaker 2: defend why here's a number you might be interested in.
- 9:11Speaker 2: Why for a young person this is under the age
- 9:15Speaker 2: of twenty five who's on a benefit will spend an
- 9:17Speaker 2: average of more than twenty years relying on welfare. Why
- 9:23Speaker 2: that number has increased by forty percent since the last
- 9:28Speaker 2: National government was in power back in twenty seventeen seventeen
- 9:31Speaker 2: after five, The.
- 9:33Speaker 1: News You Need this Morning and the in Depth Analysis
- 9:36Speaker 1: Early Edition with Ryan Bridge and Fifth City New Zealand's
- 9:40Speaker 1: Furniture Be. It's had a playing store news talk sai'd Be.
- 9:43Speaker 2: Had a real WTF media moment yesterday reading a Radio
- 9:47Speaker 2: New Zealand story. This is about Candice Owens, and I
- 9:49Speaker 2: know I spoke about her the other day. Tell me
- 9:51Speaker 2: to shut up on the text if you like nineteen
- 9:53Speaker 2: ninety two. But I'm just interested in this because I
- 9:55Speaker 2: think I do think it's important that when people we
- 9:58Speaker 2: disagree with come here, we listen to them, we debate them,
- 10:02Speaker 2: and we kind of have that argument. Otherwise you end
- 10:04Speaker 2: up with people going feral and underground, like what happened
- 10:07Speaker 2: during COVID, right when everyone's thoughts and opinions are suppressed.
- 10:12Speaker 2: So a young Labour has written a letter saying, don't
- 10:15Speaker 2: let this right wing Candice Owens into the country. She's
- 10:19Speaker 2: bad for democracy, blah blah blah, all those things that
- 10:23Speaker 2: you would expect. She has said some things about Nazi
- 10:26Speaker 2: Germany which have angered some people. I'm not defending the
- 10:30Speaker 2: woman by any stretch. However, what they use as justification
- 10:35Speaker 2: in their argument is, look what happened with Posy Parker.
- 10:38Speaker 2: Remember Posy Parker came here and some people, well one
- 10:43Speaker 2: woman was assaulted, when elderly woman was assaulted, and Posy
- 10:46Speaker 2: Parker herself was covered in tomato juice. And I say
- 10:49Speaker 2: their argument is, well, if you let Candice Owens come here,
- 10:53Speaker 2: you just don't know how people will react. I'm sorry,
- 10:57Speaker 2: you can't have somebody canceled on the basis of how
- 11:01Speaker 2: violently you might react to their appearance. You know, you
- 11:05Speaker 2: don't say, I let's ban all lollies in case I
- 11:08Speaker 2: steal them? What did the lollies?
- 11:10Speaker 8: Do?
- 11:10Speaker 2: You know? I think it's a bit mad the position
- 11:13Speaker 2: that they're taking here. I think you better just let
- 11:15Speaker 2: her and let her go to it. It probably no one
- 11:17Speaker 2: will turn up anyway. It's one hundred bucks. Who's got
- 11:20Speaker 2: one hundred bucks? Twenty one After five ran bridge, sustainable
- 11:24Speaker 2: jet fuel made with wood residue could make up twenty
- 11:27Speaker 2: five percent of our domestic fuel needs, according to a
- 11:30Speaker 2: new study by Air New Zealand and LANZA. Jet wood
- 11:33Speaker 2: waste like slash and low value wood products can be
- 11:36Speaker 2: turned into the fuel, which could soon be manufactured right
- 11:39Speaker 2: here in New Zealand, potentially creating hundreds of regional jobs.
- 11:42Speaker 2: Kerrie Hannafin is in New Zealand's chief sustainability and corporate
- 11:45Speaker 2: affairs officers. She's with us live this morning. Carry good morning, Oh,
- 11:48Speaker 2: good morning.
- 11:49Speaker 9: Nice to talk to you and nice.
- 11:50Speaker 2: To have you on the program. So are we talking
- 11:53Speaker 2: forestry slash stuff that you would go and get from
- 11:56Speaker 2: the forest, take it, process and then stick it in
- 11:58Speaker 2: the plane.
- 12:01Speaker 4: Essentially, it's the waste from the forestry industry, that's right.
- 12:04Speaker 4: And through a process, the woody biomass is turned into
- 12:09Speaker 4: a gas and then using bacteria, it's into ethanol, and
- 12:12Speaker 4: then from ethanol it's processed into kerosene, which we can
- 12:15Speaker 4: fly with.
- 12:16Speaker 2: That's right, okay, And the goal is for the industry
- 12:20Speaker 2: at least to create one hundred million leases here. Why
- 12:23Speaker 2: is no one doing it already?
- 12:25Speaker 4: It's happening all over the world. So there's a huge
- 12:29Speaker 4: movement to this clean fuel, and it's happening sort of
- 12:32Speaker 4: in countries. So countries are doing it on themselves, but
- 12:35Speaker 4: most of us now, all of us actually rely on
- 12:37Speaker 4: liquid fuel coming out of just a few nation states
- 12:39Speaker 4: fossil jet fuel, and because of the transition to sort
- 12:43Speaker 4: of cleaner fuels that we all need to go to
- 12:45Speaker 4: towards twenty fifty, countries are working out that they can
- 12:48Speaker 4: make themselves using non fossil material So it's a global
- 12:53Speaker 4: phenomenon in having a great pace.
- 12:55Speaker 2: Actually right, but still I'm only supplying about one percent
- 12:59Speaker 2: of global of global aviation field demand, is that right?
- 13:03Speaker 4: That's right? So at the moment is about thirty manufacturers
- 13:07Speaker 4: in the world, and by twenty fifty we need about
- 13:10Speaker 4: five thousand, five to seven thousand, so huge, huge list
- 13:14Speaker 4: needed in the next couple of decades.
- 13:16Speaker 2: What's stopping the industry in New Zealand, I guess is
- 13:18Speaker 2: my question.
- 13:20Speaker 4: Well, it's still pretty you know, new technology, so it's
- 13:23Speaker 4: I guess we're all learning. It's the number one. Number two.
- 13:28Speaker 4: There's only a few people doing at the moment because
- 13:30Speaker 4: it's so technical. So there's a few big manufacturers and
- 13:33Speaker 4: Lunds that jet on one of them, the ones that
- 13:34Speaker 4: we did the study with. And then it's quite slow.
- 13:38Speaker 4: It takes a little bit of time to find the
- 13:39Speaker 4: right feedstock, so we're looking at wood waste here to
- 13:43Speaker 4: make the plants, to get the investment to make the
- 13:45Speaker 4: plant and then to start making it. So it's just time.
- 13:48Speaker 4: But you know, every week there seems to be a
- 13:50Speaker 4: new announcement somewhere in the world. It was Argentina last week.
- 13:53Speaker 4: BGA looking at it to start looking at whether it
- 13:55Speaker 4: could be manufacturers. So it's going to move pretty quickly,
- 13:58Speaker 4: but it's just taken a little while to take off.
- 14:00Speaker 2: What's the cost difference for you guys at the moment
- 14:03Speaker 2: jet fuel versus you know, the sustainable fuel.
- 14:07Speaker 4: Yeah, anywhere between two and five times the price of
- 14:11Speaker 4: fossil jet fuel, So it is expensive. It's most affordable
- 14:15Speaker 4: when we buy it out of America because it's highly subsidized.
- 14:18Speaker 4: The American buy it and put in a the Inflation
- 14:22Speaker 4: Reduction Act, and there's trillions of US dollars going into
- 14:25Speaker 4: renewable energy and that's brought the price down a bit.
- 14:27Speaker 4: So get anywhere between two to vive and we obviously
- 14:29Speaker 4: try to get it at the two premium, you know,
- 14:32Speaker 4: and try to get it out of the States because
- 14:33Speaker 4: it's just much more affordable.
- 14:35Speaker 2: Does that mean, I mean, if it could make up
- 14:37Speaker 2: twenty five percent of our domestic fuel jet fuel needs
- 14:40Speaker 2: does that mean high.
- 14:41Speaker 4: Prices the moment we're absorbing it is a cost of
- 14:45Speaker 4: doing business. And you know what, this is all sort
- 14:48Speaker 4: of part of the market kind of moves. The more
- 14:50Speaker 4: supply we have, and the more supply we can support
- 14:53Speaker 4: the sort of more strong demand signals to get their
- 14:55Speaker 4: supply going, the price will come down. It's just a
- 15:00Speaker 4: supply into nine economics. And because so many countries now
- 15:03Speaker 4: have regulated the use of this alternative fuel, the fossil
- 15:07Speaker 4: majors are having to start manufacturing it and providing it
- 15:10Speaker 4: as part of their engagement and providing fuel to countries.
- 15:15Speaker 4: So it's all going in the right way, all the aligned.
- 15:18Speaker 4: By twenty fifty, you have to fly with nothing but seth.
- 15:22Speaker 4: It's only a couple of decades away, so it will
- 15:24Speaker 4: move in the right direction. We've just got to get
- 15:25Speaker 4: the market going, which is what's really interested to support.
- 15:28Speaker 2: What happens If you don't. By twenty fifty, we've got
- 15:31Speaker 2: about ten seconds.
- 15:33Speaker 9: It's back on the US creation.
- 15:35Speaker 4: Aviation will be about a quarter twenty five percent of
- 15:38Speaker 4: the world's carbon emissions if we don't work it out right.
- 15:40Speaker 2: But if you don't, you can keep flying right. I mean,
- 15:43Speaker 2: it's not like it was going to take you care. Yeah,
- 15:45Speaker 2: okay y, thank you, Kerry Handerf and any Zeland Stasustate

- 15:52Speaker 2: five News Talks V the early.
- 15:55Speaker 1: Edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio how It by News
- 15:59Speaker 1: Talks AB.
- 16:00Speaker 2: Welcome back to News Talk, said be twenty eight minutes
- 16:03Speaker 2: after five. I'm getting really angry reading these stories about
- 16:06Speaker 2: violence in New Zealand, and I don't think that harsher
- 16:09Speaker 2: sentences are going to stop them. I don't think that
- 16:12Speaker 2: the gang patch ban is going to stop them. I
- 16:16Speaker 2: don't think that wrap around services are going to stop
- 16:18Speaker 2: them either. I'm talking here about Palmerston North Emergency Department
- 16:23Speaker 2: yesterday daylight. Doctors are at work, nurses are there. Cab
- 16:29Speaker 2: driver has a minor accident with gang members in the
- 16:32Speaker 2: hospital car park. Gang members attack the cabby. Another cabby
- 16:36Speaker 2: comes to his rescue. He gets beaten up, taken into
- 16:39Speaker 2: the One of the cabbies gets taken into the ed
- 16:42Speaker 2: and hidden because the gang members were threatening to kill him.
- 16:46Speaker 2: Cops arrived, two cops starting out. They get beaten up.
- 16:50Speaker 2: The cop car gets attacked. This is daylight on a
- 16:54Speaker 2: Wednesday in Palmeston, North while people are trying to get healthcare,
- 16:57Speaker 2: six police cars end up having to come. They pepper
- 17:00Speaker 2: spray and they taser, and finally the situation is brought
- 17:03Speaker 2: under control. I mean, this makes me, This infuriates me,
- 17:07Speaker 2: makes me so angry hearing about this. But what's going
- 17:10Speaker 2: to fix it? A labor government, a national government. I
- 17:13Speaker 2: don't think so, you know, wrap around services. No, I
- 17:16Speaker 2: don't believe it. Harsher sentences. I don't think in situations
- 17:19Speaker 2: like this, they're listening to our politicians. I mean, what
- 17:24Speaker 2: do you do? What do you do? Take your own
- 17:27Speaker 2: taser to the hospital probably the most reasonable response I think.
- 17:34Speaker 2: I mean, that's what sort of them out yesterday, isn't it?
- 17:37Speaker 2: Get your tasers out? Twenty nine after five.

- 18:17Speaker 2: us live from the United States. I'm the latest on
- 18:19Speaker 2: the election. Obviously, Joe Biden under five for calling Trump
- 18:23Speaker 2: supporters garbage. We'll have the latest on that. Also. Carmel Sippoloni,
- 18:27Speaker 2: the Labor Social Development spokesperson. She explains why young people
- 18:32Speaker 2: are spending longer on social welfare in this country. Nicky
- 18:36Speaker 2: Hayley remember her former Republican well one time actually two
- 18:41Speaker 2: time contender for the top job in the Republican Party,
- 18:44Speaker 2: wanting to be president. She has come out and said
- 18:46Speaker 2: say much, said much during this election campaign. She has
- 18:49Speaker 2: said to the Trump campaign, be careful who you insult
- 18:53Speaker 2: in the next what is it, six seven days now
- 18:56Speaker 2: until the election, be careful who you insult because those
- 19:00Speaker 2: crucial swing voters that are about six percent of Americans
- 19:04Speaker 2: who will decide the next election.
- 19:06Speaker 10: This is not a time to have anyone criticize Puerto
- 19:09Speaker 10: Rico or Latinos. This is not a time for them
- 19:12Speaker 10: to get overly masculine with this bromance thing that they've
- 19:15Speaker 10: got going. Fifty three percent of the electorate are women.
- 19:19Speaker 5: Women will vote.
- 19:21Speaker 10: They care about how they're being talked to, and they
- 19:23Speaker 10: care about the issues. They need to remember that this
- 19:26Speaker 10: is a time of discipline and this is a time
- 19:28Speaker 10: of addition.
- 19:30Speaker 1: Bryan Bridge.
- 19:31Speaker 2: We're going to our reporters around the country now, Calum
- 19:33Speaker 2: Proctors and Dunedin this morning. Calm, good morning to you
- 19:36Speaker 2: morning Ran. Dunedin charity event has caused quite a stir
- 19:39Speaker 2: over its bid to sell booze. Yeah.
- 19:42Speaker 11: This is a charity fashion show planned for the Saturday
- 19:45Speaker 11: here in Dunedan that's raising money for suicide awareness and
- 19:47Speaker 11: it wants to sell alcohol to the audience.
- 19:51Speaker 2: But police say.
- 19:52Speaker 11: Approving a license for the event would be inappropriate and
- 19:55Speaker 11: harmful given the link between suicide and alcohol. A Tiger
- 19:59Speaker 11: University research found twenty six percent of suicides involve acute
- 20:03Speaker 11: alcohol use. Research to doctor rose Cross and says event
- 20:06Speaker 11: organizers should consider that message that to have alcohol and
- 20:11Speaker 11: suicide prevention linked. The district Licensing Committee will decide on
- 20:15Speaker 11: this matter tomorrow.
- 20:17Speaker 2: All right, how's your weather? Cloudy? Period's occasional rain later
- 20:21Speaker 2: today and seventeen thanks Callum. Interesting. I was listening to
- 20:24Speaker 2: Matt Heath talk about that yesterday and he said, how
- 20:26Speaker 2: do you get people to give money at a charity
- 20:29Speaker 2: event if they're not boost which it was pretty reasonable.
- 20:32Speaker 2: Clear shoe. It is in christ Church this morning, clear,
- 20:34Speaker 2: christ the International Antarctic Center is changing hands.
- 20:39Speaker 12: Yes, that's right, Ryan so Willowbank Wildlife Reserve has confirmed
- 20:43Speaker 12: it will take over operations of the tourism company Real
- 20:46Speaker 12: in Z, which runs the Antarctic Center, from this December.
- 20:50Speaker 13: The center, of course, has been operating for more than
- 20:52Speaker 13: thirty years in christ Church. It's out near the airport.
- 20:55Speaker 13: It's created as a way to showcase what we do
- 20:57Speaker 13: here in our Antarctic program to the world. I guess
- 21:01Speaker 13: I thought this comment was interesting. The Willow Bank co
- 21:03Speaker 13: director Mark Willis, who's obviously part of the takeover of
- 21:06Speaker 13: the center, is hopeful they'll make locals fall back in
- 21:09Speaker 13: love with the Antarctic Center. He says they plan to
- 21:12Speaker 13: do everything they can to really focus on igniting community engagement.
- 21:16Speaker 2: All right, how's the weather clear?
- 21:18Speaker 13: Fine with northwester He's developing this morning and tweety.
- 21:21Speaker 2: One brilliant Thank you Max Toles and Wellington this morning.
- 21:24Speaker 8: Max.
- 21:24Speaker 2: The giant hand that people seem to find a bit
- 21:27Speaker 2: scary as on the move.
- 21:29Speaker 14: That's right, this terrifying monolith that for years has overlooked
- 21:33Speaker 14: Civic Square with its blank expression and human like stance.
- 21:37Speaker 14: On two digits is being moved from a top city
- 21:40Speaker 14: gallery overlooking Civic Square five meters to all four hundred kilograms.
- 21:45Speaker 14: Also the stuff of nightmares since twenty nineteen, it has
- 21:48Speaker 14: a name Quasi, after the famous hunchback. It was designed
- 21:52Speaker 14: by artist Ronnie van Hout and is well now being
- 21:57Speaker 14: moved to an undisclosed location in Australia. On Saturday, it
- 22:01Speaker 14: will be lifted off the City Gallery via helicopter. A
- 22:04Speaker 14: relief perhaps that at no point did it come alive
- 22:07Speaker 14: and run a mock in the capitol. It'll soon be
- 22:09Speaker 14: terrorizing small Australian children instead. Too late for Halloween.
- 22:14Speaker 2: However, do we know? We obviously don't know where it's going.
- 22:19Speaker 2: Do you know if someone has bought it or who
- 22:20Speaker 2: owns it?
- 22:21Speaker 14: We know very little about its destination, which is odd
- 22:25Speaker 14: in its secrecy.
- 22:26Speaker 2: You would say, yeah, okay, it's a little bit like
- 22:28Speaker 2: the Adams family hand. Isn't it that exactly?
- 22:31Speaker 14: Or something?
- 22:32Speaker 2: Isn't it?
- 22:32Speaker 5: That's right?
- 22:32Speaker 2: Yeah? How's your weather? Max?
- 22:34Speaker 14: Should be fine today with stronger northerly seventeen the high central.
- 22:37Speaker 2: If flip it upside down and you'd be giving Wellington
- 22:40Speaker 2: the middle finger, wouldn't you? Michael Siegles in Auckland this morning, Michael,
- 22:45Speaker 2: good morning, Good morning. Harmful incidents are daily reality on
- 22:49Speaker 2: Auckland trains and buses.
- 22:51Speaker 9: We know this.
- 22:52Speaker 15: Yes, I managed to get some new figures showing Auckland
- 22:55Speaker 15: Transport reported an average of more than ninety three incidents
- 22:58Speaker 15: a week, more than thirteen a day in the year
- 23:00Speaker 15: to August. These exclusive figures show security incidents on trains
- 23:04Speaker 15: averaged more than eighty three a week, Emergency services were
- 23:07Speaker 15: notified about incidents on buses more than nine times a week,
- 23:10Speaker 15: on incidents on ferries more than twice a week, and
- 23:13Speaker 15: lots of other incidents not captured by this data. We're
- 23:15Speaker 15: hearing of a lot of reports of threats, abuse and
- 23:17Speaker 15: disorderly behavior that just doesn't get escalated to this level.
- 23:21Speaker 15: At says it's doing what it's can putting in CCIV cameras,
- 23:24Speaker 15: transport offices, driver training, GPS tracking and panic buttons, and
- 23:28Speaker 15: the government increasing police patrols as well. But the message
- 23:32Speaker 15: from everyone there is underlying social issues at play here
- 23:36Speaker 15: and there is only so much that authorities can do now.
- 23:38Speaker 2: It's terrible. Just yesterday there was one in Pukakari. A
- 23:41Speaker 2: guy was beaten up by eleven youths had his stuff stolen,
- 23:44Speaker 2: moderate injuries yea.
- 23:46Speaker 15: And today yeah, talking to unions. It's just become a
- 23:48Speaker 15: daily reality and so much of this just doesn't get
- 23:50Speaker 15: reported and doesn't end up in these figures.
- 23:52Speaker 2: Well it's a good story, so good on you forgetting
- 23:54Speaker 2: that the numbers for us.
- 23:56Speaker 15: How's the weather today for the Halloween trick and treating
- 24:00Speaker 15: isolated childs? Clearing by the time that everyone heads out
- 24:03Speaker 15: behind nineteen and I have also been asked by Neva
- 24:07Speaker 15: to give you a bit of a Halloween costumeating tonight.
- 24:12Speaker 15: I think it's a Dracula.
- 24:13Speaker 2: Where novel was all Dracula. It's quite a fetching one.
- 24:17Speaker 2: It's got the teeth as well. Look quite good in
- 24:19Speaker 2: that you can do the whole thing. I think I
- 24:21Speaker 2: think Neva's got a fantasy. Frankly, she's got the teeth too.
- 24:25Speaker 2: All right, Well we'll go and sort Neva out soon.
- 24:28Speaker 2: It's eighteen away from.
- 24:29Speaker 1: Six International correspondence with ends in eye insurance peace of
- 24:33Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business.
- 24:37Speaker 2: According to six News Talk said be new numbers on
- 24:39Speaker 2: beneficiaries coming away just before six. Right now, Mitch McCann
- 24:42Speaker 2: is our US correspondent Mitch Joe Biden sending the Harris
- 24:47Speaker 2: campaign into not quite meltdown, but certainly into damage control.
- 24:52Speaker 8: Yeah, that's right, Good morning, Ryan. At this stage of
- 24:54Speaker 8: the campaign, it really isn't time to be making major
- 24:57Speaker 8: mistakes now. At that Trump rally here in New York
- 25:00Speaker 8: I attended on Sunday, the campaign received a huge amount
- 25:03Speaker 8: of backlash for the comedian who suggested that Porto Rico
- 25:07Speaker 8: is a floating island of garbage. So in some ways
- 25:10Speaker 8: that's a win politically for the Democrats. However, Joe Biden
- 25:14Speaker 8: has managed to create what has become a bit of
- 25:16Speaker 8: a pr mess over here when responding to those comments
- 25:19Speaker 8: on a Zoom call last night. This is what the
- 25:21Speaker 8: current president had to say in response to suggestions that
- 25:25Speaker 8: Porto Rico is a floating island of garbage.
- 25:27Speaker 3: They're good, decent, honorable people.
- 25:30Speaker 16: The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.
- 25:33Speaker 2: His demonizational STIs I'm constable.
- 25:38Speaker 8: Yeah, the only garbage I see antea are his supporters.
- 25:41Speaker 8: He's been criticized for saying that. The White House says
- 25:43Speaker 8: he was describing the racist language as garbage, not Trump supporters,
- 25:48Speaker 8: and Kamala Harris has even distanced herself from those comments,
- 25:50Speaker 8: saying she disagrees with any criticism of people based on
- 25:54Speaker 8: who they vote for. Storming a teacup Ryan maybe, but
- 25:57Speaker 8: certainly not helpful.
- 25:58Speaker 2: No, And I can remember the twenty sixteen election when
- 26:02Speaker 2: Hillary Clinton said this, and it was went down like
- 26:04Speaker 2: a cup of cold sick.
- 26:06Speaker 5: You could have put half of Trump's supportors into what
- 26:09Speaker 5: I called the bousee theplorables, you know, it was.
- 26:14Speaker 2: It was funny to the supporters who were there, but
- 26:16Speaker 2: most Americans, particularly those swingers, felt that that was a
- 26:20Speaker 2: disgusting thing to say. So it'd be interesting to see
- 26:22Speaker 2: how this plays out. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris has closed her well,
- 26:26Speaker 2: not quite closed to campaign, but she's given her closing address. Yeah,
- 26:29Speaker 2: that's right.
- 26:30Speaker 8: She took to the same stage in Washington last night
- 26:32Speaker 8: where Democrats say Donald Trump and cited those riots on
- 26:36Speaker 8: the Capitol in twenty twenty one.
- 26:37Speaker 2: She called it her closing address.
- 26:39Speaker 8: Her campaign sees the crowd it was seventy five thousand people.
- 26:43Speaker 8: She said on day one, if elected, Donald Trump would
- 26:46Speaker 8: walk into the Oval Office with an enemy's list.
- 26:48Speaker 2: When elected, I will walk in with.
- 26:50Speaker 8: Her to do it and Trump's campaign has responded by say,
- 26:53Speaker 8: Kamala Harris is lying, name calling and clinging to the past.
- 26:57Speaker 8: It was six days to go now, Ryan, the polls
- 26:59Speaker 8: are extremely close. Trump and Harris are making their final
- 27:02Speaker 8: swing through the swing states at the moment, she's visiting
- 27:06Speaker 8: three today, Will He'll be in two.
- 27:08Speaker 2: Mitch, thank you very much that much. McCann stateside for
- 27:11Speaker 2: us are twelve minutes to six. Rich your research on
- 27:15Speaker 2: how much young beneficiaries are costing us in the long term.
- 27:18Speaker 2: This morning, the Ministry of Social Development says those under
- 27:21Speaker 2: the age of twenty five accessing a main benefit continue
- 27:25Speaker 2: receiving welfare for an estimated twenty years extra on average.
- 27:31Speaker 2: The government says this is one of the many reasons
- 27:33Speaker 2: it's forging ahead with reform. Carmel Cipoloni is the Labor
- 27:37Speaker 2: Party's Social Development spokesperson. Why do you think there's been
- 27:42Speaker 2: such an increase in the forecast for young people in
- 27:45Speaker 2: particular who are on benefits. Why such an increase in
- 27:47Speaker 2: the forecast for how long they'll stay there?
- 27:50Speaker 9: Well, I think it's important to note that the Minister
- 27:53Speaker 9: again has ignored the actual substance of the report. There
- 27:57Speaker 9: are a number of risk factors that lead to forecasted
- 28:01Speaker 9: numbers for people on benefit. That includes if they've been
- 28:04Speaker 9: they have had a history of care and protection, they
- 28:08Speaker 9: have been in prison or proceeded against by the police,
- 28:10Speaker 9: they've been in social housing in the last three years,
- 28:13Speaker 9: which means they're probably experiencing a level of poverty. But
- 28:16Speaker 9: they've been in hospital in the last three years, so
- 28:18Speaker 9: they've got health conditions, or they've accessed mental health support
- 28:22Speaker 9: in the last three years, and so therefore they have
- 28:24Speaker 9: mental health issues. She continues to make out that it
- 28:29Speaker 9: is a result of them going on benefit that is problematic,
- 28:32Speaker 9: and then that they need to be punitive. The reality
- 28:35Speaker 9: is there are other risk factors that lead to people
- 28:38Speaker 9: needing to access welfare.
- 28:40Speaker 2: Do you accept their dependent on welfare at this point?
- 28:43Speaker 9: Oh, there are some that are.
- 28:47Speaker 2: Welfare. Do you think there should be consequences for those
- 28:49Speaker 2: who are dependent on welfare, like having their welfare taken
- 28:53Speaker 2: off them? I mean, how else do you stop dependency?
- 28:56Speaker 9: They'll keep in mind that a large number of people
- 28:59Speaker 9: on welfare have health and disability conditions, and this is
- 29:02Speaker 9: about all all people. That's reported about all people, but
- 29:06Speaker 9: it's specific.
- 29:07Speaker 2: Yeah, but it talks specifically about job seeker support as well.
- 29:11Speaker 2: People under the age of twenty five on job seeker
- 29:13Speaker 2: support would spend an average of about eighteen more years
- 29:16Speaker 2: on a benefit over their life to lifetimes. That's fifty
- 29:19Speaker 2: percent longer than when national was lasting.
- 29:23Speaker 9: So any government needs to focus on the risk factors
- 29:27Speaker 9: that lead to people going on welfare. It's not going
- 29:30Speaker 9: on welfare that leads to the dependency. It's all of
- 29:33Speaker 9: the other things that are pointed out in the report,
- 29:36Speaker 9: which the minister conveniently ignores.
- 29:38Speaker 2: Okay, if you accept that, if we accept your argument
- 29:41Speaker 2: there that it's about those risk factors, do you accept
- 29:44Speaker 2: that you labor must have done an appalling job with
- 29:46Speaker 2: those risk factors given the length of increase in the
- 29:49Speaker 2: in the forecasts, there.
- 29:51Speaker 9: Were compounding impacts for these people in their lives. Mental
- 29:55Speaker 9: health issues didn't necessarily just start when they came on benefit.
- 29:59Speaker 9: And other risk factor is, of course economic conditions and
- 30:03Speaker 9: what has been forecast there are that also leads to
- 30:06Speaker 9: the predictions for how long someone will stay on benefits.
- 30:10Speaker 9: It's important to also note that this is a bit
- 30:12Speaker 9: of a distraction. There are nearly thirty thousand more people
- 30:15Speaker 9: on benefit since the government took office. No, no, and
- 30:20Speaker 9: there's an indictment on them.
- 30:22Speaker 2: The Well, it's indictment on the economic conditions I suppose,
- 30:25Speaker 2: isn't it.
- 30:26Speaker 9: With the they also laid off over six thousand public servants.
- 30:30Speaker 9: This is true doctor infrastructure projects and we've got ten
- 30:33Speaker 9: thousand pure jobs in the building and construction sector.
- 30:35Speaker 2: I've got time for one more question came, and I
- 30:38Speaker 2: really want to ask you. Is there ever a situation
- 30:41Speaker 2: in which labor would cut the amount someone has paid,
- 30:44Speaker 2: would cut a benefit for a young person no kids
- 30:49Speaker 2: work ready, sitting on a benefit, sitting on welfare indefinitely,
- 30:52Speaker 2: would you ever cut that benefit?
- 30:55Speaker 9: Well, we still had a sanctioned system in place, and
- 30:58Speaker 9: so when we were in it was still the ability
- 31:01Speaker 9: to apply sanctions if someone was not living up to
- 31:05Speaker 9: their obligations with respect to speaking work or the work
- 31:09Speaker 9: obligations that were in place. So that was already a
- 31:12Speaker 9: tool in the toolbox for NSD.
- 31:15Speaker 2: Okay, all right, we have to leave it there. Came Oh,
- 31:17Speaker 2: thank you very much for your time. Appreciate it, thank you,
- 31:20Speaker 2: thank you. Ryan Bridge just got eight minutes away from six.
- 31:23Speaker 2: That was Carmel Sefal only the Labour Social Development spokesperson
- 31:26Speaker 2: with US Live. Mike's here next it's Halloween. I will
- 31:31Speaker 2: think of a trick and he might give me a treat.
- 31:35Speaker 2: Get ahead of the headlines.
- 31:36Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge New for twenty twenty four on early edition
- 31:40Speaker 1: with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store.
- 31:44Speaker 2: News Talk said be just gone six minutes away from six.
- 31:46Speaker 2: News Talk said b Two women have been removed from
- 31:48Speaker 2: a British Airwaves flight. This is at Heathrow Airport. Why
- 31:52Speaker 2: one of them was wearing that one of them in
- 31:54Speaker 2: the forties, one in their sixties. One of them was
- 31:56Speaker 2: wearing a MAGA hat make America Great Again. The other
- 31:58Speaker 2: one took exception? Are did to take it off? Anyway?
- 32:01Speaker 2: They're in premium economy no less, and end up in
- 32:04Speaker 2: a fist fight, punching each other. The police are called.
- 32:07Speaker 2: The flights delayed by two hours. Both of the women arrested.
- 32:11Speaker 2: Mike is here with us. You blame COVID, Yeah, I
- 32:14Speaker 2: do blame COVID for a lot of Well.
- 32:15Speaker 16: I think the whole world's gone to hell in a
- 32:17Speaker 16: handcut because of COVID, because all the weirdness is COVID related,
- 32:21Speaker 16: isn't it.
- 32:21Speaker 2: Yeah? I don't blame COVID. I blame our reaction to COVID,
- 32:25Speaker 2: which was to lock it one down. Of course, COVID
- 32:27Speaker 2: didn't make us crazy. Our response to COVID made us crazy.
- 32:31Speaker 16: There was something that there's going to be a study
- 32:33Speaker 16: one day by esteemed psychiatrists or psychologists who looked at
- 32:37Speaker 16: what happened to us mentally as a result, because you can't.
- 32:41Speaker 16: I mean, people don't go around beating people up on planes,
- 32:45Speaker 16: you know, the way they do the States, you know,
- 32:48Speaker 16: but it's gone nuts.
- 32:49Speaker 2: And it's not just planes, it's trained. It's well, the
- 32:51Speaker 2: numbers you had on earlier the story.
- 32:53Speaker 16: We were talking to Wayne Brown about that later on,
- 32:54Speaker 16: I mean that it's an Auckland lies twenty five a day, Yeah,
- 32:58Speaker 16: twenty five a day. Yeah, it's insane, but it just
- 33:01Speaker 16: becomes the norm. Now, what it tells you is that
- 33:03Speaker 16: we're social creatures and does it well?
- 33:07Speaker 2: It does. And if we don't socialize with each other
- 33:10Speaker 2: on a day base and look at each other in
- 33:11Speaker 2: the eyes.
- 33:12Speaker 16: It's true, Why then haven't we worked our way out
- 33:14Speaker 16: the other side. Because it's not like COVID locked us
- 33:16Speaker 16: down five minutes ago.
- 33:18Speaker 2: Well, I suppose it's a big scar that's been left
- 33:20Speaker 2: in our you know.
- 33:21Speaker 16: So that's the psychiatrist thing. So once once you're tarnished, traumatized,
- 33:26Speaker 16: traumatized by the experience, then what you're saying is you're
- 33:29Speaker 16: traumatized forever and you're the sort of person you know
- 33:32Speaker 16: you do. You allow yourself to do things you never
- 33:34Speaker 16: would have done previously.
- 33:35Speaker 2: And the thing I'm worry about it is we think
- 33:36Speaker 2: it's bad. Now, what about the kids who were kids then?
- 33:40Speaker 16: Or you see it in education? Yeah, you asked teachers
- 33:42Speaker 16: in all honestly, you asked you. They talk about the
- 33:45Speaker 16: COVID generation of these little snots that are that are
- 33:48Speaker 16: in school that they don't know how to behave because
- 33:51Speaker 16: they were locked down and when they got let out,
- 33:53Speaker 16: they have no idea how to behave in the classroom.
- 33:54Speaker 16: It's just insane.
- 33:55Speaker 2: You're going to give these little snots any treats tonight
- 33:57Speaker 2: when they come knocking at your door.
- 34:00Speaker 16: See one of the advantages of having high security high security, Ryan.
- 34:05Speaker 2: Is they can't all right, your own little COVID lockdown
