- 0:11Speaker 2: Sa'd be good morning. It is Thursday, six minutes after five.
- 0:14Speaker 2: Plenty to come through you this morning. Before six food
- 0:16Speaker 2: and fiber. We're heading new records. This is in terms
- 0:19Speaker 2: of revenue, billion dollar pay pd on the way for
- 0:22Speaker 2: our farmers. Just a time for field days. We'll look
- 0:24Speaker 2: at that before six o'clock. Mitch McCanns stateside for US
- 0:28Speaker 2: a new trade deal apparently agreed well at least on
- 0:32Speaker 2: Trump side, from the United States and China. We'll look
- 0:35Speaker 2: at that. Past the protests. US not happy with US
- 0:37Speaker 2: over Israel. Should we care? And the art of Teddy,
- 0:40Speaker 2: the old workhorse of the cook straight breaks down again,
- 0:45Speaker 2: literally limping towards the finish line. We'll look at that,
- 0:48Speaker 2: plus coastal shipping a little later on seven after five.
- 0:52Speaker 1: The agenda.
- 0:54Speaker 2: Thursday, the twelfth of June. Five arrests, seventeen injured in
- 0:58Speaker 2: Northern Ireland. This is Ballamina off after two team boys
- 1:01Speaker 2: in the dark over sexual assault the census.
- 1:04Speaker 3: Violence is utterly unacceptable and as I see it serves
- 1:08Speaker 3: you'll need to endeared, your.
- 1:09Speaker 4: Lives, undestroy our local area, our local communities.
- 1:14Speaker 2: ICE protests in the US spreading to other cities, Chicago,
- 1:17Speaker 2: New York, in La the Mea declaring a curfew, Trump's
- 1:21Speaker 2: vowing to liberate the city, arrests overnight.
- 1:24Speaker 5: This brazen abuse of power by a city president inflamed
- 1:28Speaker 5: a combustible situation, putting our people, our officers, and even
- 1:32Speaker 5: our national guard at risk.
- 1:34Speaker 2: That's newsome morning, when the.
- 1:35Speaker 5: Downward spiral began. Democracy is under assault before our eyes.
- 1:41Speaker 2: That's Newsom. Wanting to be the next president himself and
- 1:44Speaker 2: Trump reckons he struck a deal with China.
- 1:47Speaker 6: He says that we will get full magnets and any
- 1:51Speaker 6: necessary rare earth will be supplied up front by China.
- 1:54Speaker 6: And he says in return, China will also be able
- 1:57Speaker 6: to send its students to unite, so it's colleges and universities.
- 2:02Speaker 6: There is also some talk about tariffs, the tariff route
- 2:05Speaker 6: that may be in place, but again we're still waiting
- 2:08Speaker 6: for the final actual details.
- 2:10Speaker 2: Elon Musk says, I'm so sorry about those posts. He
- 2:14Speaker 2: says he went too far with Trump.
- 2:16Speaker 7: Now with the days that have gone by and all
- 2:19Speaker 7: the commentary in the analysis, Elon Muski saying, I regret
- 2:23Speaker 7: some parts, not all of it, but some of it.
- 2:27Speaker 2: Just the Ipstein that say eight after five.
- 2:31Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge on early edition with expol insulation keeping Kiwi
- 2:36Speaker 1: Holmes warm and dry. This winter news.
- 2:38Speaker 2: Talks it be number six, just gone nine minutes after five.
- 2:42Speaker 2: So Trump says he's backing this trade deal. Do we
- 2:46Speaker 2: even call it a trade It's a deal between the
- 2:48Speaker 2: US and China, and I've got a framework for a
- 2:50Speaker 2: deal that this is the talks in London that we've
- 2:52Speaker 2: been talking about for the last couple of weeks. So
- 2:55Speaker 2: Trump says he's going to back this. Ch jinpaying is
- 2:58Speaker 2: yet to greenlight the final draft of it, right, so
- 3:00Speaker 2: it's still a work in progress. But basically China needs
- 3:03Speaker 2: US semiconductors. The US needs the rare earth minerals for
- 3:07Speaker 2: the auto industry. We talked about this the other day
- 3:10Speaker 2: of the batteries, So there is something going to happen there,
- 3:14Speaker 2: which is good. But the new tarifyrate, the US tariff
- 3:18Speaker 2: rate would be fifty five percent, and you think, hang
- 3:20Speaker 2: on a minute, that's higher than the thirty percent you're
- 3:22Speaker 2: currently got on there. After your ninety day pause, and
- 3:25Speaker 2: it's true it will actually go up after this deal.
- 3:28Speaker 2: But and this is what the White House is spinning,
- 3:31Speaker 2: and it's all true, I suppose, But whether you think
- 3:34Speaker 2: that they're valid or not. Ten percent the worldwide tariff
- 3:36Speaker 2: that we all get, plus you're twenty percent for the fentanyl,
- 3:40Speaker 2: of course, because they're shipping fentanyl like it's run and
- 3:43Speaker 2: going out of fashion. And then a twenty five percent
- 3:45Speaker 2: pre existing tariff. Total that is fifty five percent, So
- 3:49Speaker 2: that'll be your new rate from the US to China.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Don't know about the other way yet. Remember that twenty
- 3:54Speaker 2: five percent pre existing tariff. Trump brought it in during
- 3:57Speaker 2: his first term and then Biden didn't get rid of it,
- 4:01Speaker 2: so that is still there and the total would be
- 4:03Speaker 2: fifty five percent. So there you go. I mean, at
- 4:05Speaker 2: least it's progressed. At least they're talking, and at least
- 4:08Speaker 2: it looks like something might come of it, and this
- 4:09Speaker 2: madness might be over soon. Ten after five news talks,
- 4:12Speaker 2: they'd be coming up next, new report, same old story
- 4:17Speaker 2: on this is from the Child Children's Monitor on MILDI
- 4:21Speaker 2: children and care. So is it even worth talking about?
- 4:24Speaker 2: We'll ask inexpert next.
- 4:27Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day early
- 4:30Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and X Bowl Insulation keeping Kimi
- 4:34Speaker 1: Holmes warm and dry this winter news talks.
- 4:37Speaker 2: That'd be good morning, great to have your company. The
- 4:39Speaker 2: other Teddy of the inter Islander, limping towards the finish line,
- 4:42Speaker 2: is going to be retired in August. Last night broke
- 4:44Speaker 2: down again. It's anyone surprised to hear that when you're
- 4:47Speaker 2: waking up this morning that the other Teddy has broken down.
- 4:49Speaker 5: No.
- 4:50Speaker 2: Left eight to fifty pm from Picton last night. The
- 4:53Speaker 2: three hour journey ended up taking eight hours. In fact,
- 4:56Speaker 2: they're only just due into Wellington Harbor right now, so
- 5:00Speaker 2: if anyone can see it then text me nine two
- 5:02Speaker 2: ninety two make sure it got there safely. Anyway, the
- 5:04Speaker 2: six fifteen am sailing canceled, the eleven am return from
- 5:08Speaker 2: Pickton to Wellington canceled. And I remember at the time
- 5:11Speaker 2: when this it was announced that the old workhorse would
- 5:14Speaker 2: be retired as saying to Winston Peters, what's going to
- 5:16Speaker 2: happen with the freight capacity? Because it carries thirty trucks
- 5:20Speaker 2: and twenty eight rail wagons, and you do multiple trips
- 5:22Speaker 2: a day, and you add that up and it starts
- 5:24Speaker 2: to have an impact, and he said coastal shipping. Coastal
- 5:28Speaker 2: shipping is how we're going to solve that problem until
- 5:30Speaker 2: we get the new ones. He's made an announcement about
- 5:33Speaker 2: that yesterday. Actually, James Meager almost on his behalf, will
- 5:36Speaker 2: get to that shortly. It's just gone thirteen after five.
- 5:38Speaker 2: Add another new report showing some Maori kids are falling
- 5:42Speaker 2: through the cracks. The Independent Children's Monitor found all the
- 5:45Speaker 2: usual stats for those in state care. Here's an interesting one.
- 5:48Speaker 2: Ninety two percent of those in trouble with Youth Justice
- 5:52Speaker 2: had a previous care and protection concern raised about them
- 5:57Speaker 2: when they were younger. In other words, childhood at home
- 5:59Speaker 2: was bad then they act out. Tracy Shipton CEO and
- 6:03Speaker 2: voice of fuck itrong with my is with me? Tracy,
- 6:06Speaker 2: Good morning.
- 6:07Speaker 8: Yeah, good morning.
- 6:08Speaker 2: Good to have you on this program. Does this report
- 6:10Speaker 2: tell us anything new?
- 6:13Speaker 8: Well, it doesn't tell us as an organization anything new,
- 6:16Speaker 8: because we've been talking with young people for years now
- 6:20Speaker 8: and getting their view on the care system, so it's
- 6:22Speaker 8: not a big surprise to us.
- 6:24Speaker 2: So do you have any hope anything is going to change?
- 6:27Speaker 2: I mean, it doesn't matter what government's in place, and
- 6:29Speaker 2: this report says that even the interventions that have been
- 6:32Speaker 2: put in place, you can't accurately tell whether they're having
- 6:34Speaker 2: much of an effect.
- 6:37Speaker 8: Well, I think what the report does tell us is
- 6:39Speaker 8: that there are there's opportunities to actually make impactful intervention
- 6:44Speaker 8: really early. It tells us that ninety two percent go
- 6:47Speaker 8: on from care and protection concern raised to youth Justice
- 6:51Speaker 8: tells us there was a window somewhere earlier to do something.
- 6:55Speaker 8: And I guess for us that's a challenge. What can
- 6:58Speaker 8: we do earlier? What can we do is a collective
- 7:01Speaker 8: community that's going to really impact positively the lives of
- 7:05Speaker 8: these young of these young people.
- 7:07Speaker 2: The Minister of Finance and Bill English before her would say,
- 7:11Speaker 2: the answer is social investment. You target These are the
- 7:15Speaker 2: exactly the young people you want to be targeting, and
- 7:17Speaker 2: you already have these red flags right that they've been
- 7:21Speaker 2: in a home where there's been a care and protection issue.
- 7:24Speaker 2: Is that an answer?
- 7:27Speaker 8: I think well, what certainly is an answer is saying
- 7:32Speaker 8: that we should invest in young people. Like if we
- 7:34Speaker 8: think about the language and what we're saying in these
- 7:37Speaker 8: reports is we want better outcomes. What's a better outcome?
- 7:41Speaker 8: A better outcome is a childhood where somebody emerges from
- 7:45Speaker 8: it hole. We have opportunities here, it's not happening. This
- 7:49Speaker 8: is a stark reminder that if we get an early
- 7:53Speaker 8: wrap around, it gives lots of support to FANO and
- 7:56Speaker 8: young people at the right opportunity. Yes, we can make
- 8:00Speaker 8: a difference. I am totally optimist that we can do that.
- 8:03Speaker 2: Tracy, appreciate your time this morning. Tracy Shipton, CEO of Voice,
- 8:06Speaker 2: fuck it on on my It is sixteen after five
- 8:09Speaker 2: year on News Talks. There be I actually happen to
- 8:11Speaker 2: believe wholeheartedly. And that's just how you do it and
- 8:14Speaker 2: how effective it is, whether you know whether you're just
- 8:18Speaker 2: throwing money pissing in the wind basically, which is what
- 8:21Speaker 2: we have been doing thus far with a lot of
- 8:23Speaker 2: these programs. You have to admit. It is sixteen after
- 8:26Speaker 2: five News Talks. There be Robert Patman next on the
- 8:29Speaker 2: US not happy with US over Israel.
- 8:32Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan
- 8:36Speaker 1: Bridge and x Fole Insulation Keeping Kiwi Holmes warm and
- 8:40Speaker 1: dry this winter News Talks at b.
- 8:42Speaker 2: Mitch we can in the States for US just before
- 8:45Speaker 2: six o'clock this morning on the protest plus this potential
- 8:47Speaker 2: trade deal between China and the US lots to get through. Ryan,
- 8:51Speaker 2: I'm totally over the talk fest over the kids. Nothing
- 8:53Speaker 2: ever changes, never will, says Mandy. Hard to argue with that, morning,
- 8:58Speaker 2: Ryan says, Clive, Good morning, Clive Newsom is a woke
- 9:01Speaker 2: radical who's destroyed California. This is the argument that you
- 9:05Speaker 2: would put against a Newsom is You've just had a
- 9:09Speaker 2: god what's the name of Karmela Harris from the same state.
- 9:12Speaker 2: But the same ideas didn't work, Why would it work
- 9:15Speaker 2: next time? Around nineteen after five, Ryan Bridge, the US
- 9:18Speaker 2: has criticized US for sanctions on Israel. Winston Peters joined
- 9:22Speaker 2: our allies, Australia, Canada, you name it, banning Israel's finance
- 9:25Speaker 2: minister and national security minister from traveling here. But the
- 9:29Speaker 2: US has now denounced these sanctions and says we should
- 9:31Speaker 2: instead be focused on from US. Robert Patman, international relations professor,
- 9:35Speaker 2: with me this morning morning, Robert, Good.
- 9:37Speaker 9: Morning, Ryan.
- 9:38Speaker 2: How does this should we worry about repercussions from the
- 9:41Speaker 2: US or is this just talk.
- 9:45Speaker 9: We may to be seen. The thing is that the
- 9:48Speaker 9: status quo, the situation as it is at the moment,
- 9:52Speaker 9: it's just not sustainable. You've got after the shocking Hamas
- 9:56Speaker 9: attack on the seventh October twenty twenty three, when twelve
- 10:02Speaker 9: hundred Israelis or so were killed, we subsequently had what
- 10:05Speaker 9: mister Nechnia who calls a campaign a mighty vengeance in
- 10:09Speaker 9: Gals in which more than fifty four thousand Palestinians, many
- 10:13Speaker 9: of a substantial number of whom had nothing to do
- 10:17Speaker 9: with Hamas, have been killed. So and there's no seaside
- 10:20Speaker 9: of the work as a humanitarian blockade that has been
- 10:23Speaker 9: reimposed since early March with a million Palestines facing starvation.
- 10:29Speaker 9: Given this situation, and given the fact that Israel has
- 10:32Speaker 9: not responded to verbal appeals to lift the humanitarian blockade,
- 10:36Speaker 9: I think that countries that want a two state solution,
- 10:40Speaker 9: and mister Netna who doesn't want a two state solution,
- 10:42Speaker 9: have little option but to show some serious statement of
- 10:48Speaker 9: intentmen that starts with sanctions.
- 10:50Speaker 2: Ninna, who's turned around basically middle fingered. Thus, will we
- 10:53Speaker 2: get more sanctions?
- 10:56Speaker 9: It's possible, and it's also possible the sanctions will be wide.
- 11:01Speaker 9: There's a lot of strength of feeling in manyly liberal democracies,
- 11:04Speaker 9: the United States is not a disinterested observer when it
- 11:07Speaker 9: comes to the conflict between the PUL seniors and the Israelis,
- 11:10Speaker 9: and it's I think it's been a weakness and a
- 11:13Speaker 9: failure of US leadership. The situation has got to this point.
- 11:16Speaker 9: Shouldn't be forgotten that the US has exercised the veto
- 11:19Speaker 9: five times in the UN Securities Council to thwart a
- 11:25Speaker 9: cease fire when the overwhelming majorities and we're talking about
- 11:29Speaker 9: more than one hundred and forty members in General Assembly
- 11:31Speaker 9: actually want a ceasefire. So this, in a sense, the
- 11:35Speaker 9: US has perpetuated this conflict. It's provided about four fifths
- 11:40Speaker 9: of the munitions that Israel has used in the conflict.
- 11:45Speaker 9: You know, the US is not a disinterested observer in
- 11:47Speaker 9: this and in the sense I think the other liberal
- 11:49Speaker 9: democracies are beginning to push back now and say, look,
- 11:52Speaker 9: international law is important and we have to we have
- 11:56Speaker 9: to uphold it and talk alone what is clearly not working.
- 12:01Speaker 2: No, So yeah, are you in obviously Hamstrong, I mean
- 12:03Speaker 2: totally useless. And Trump's you know, Trump is criticizing US
- 12:07Speaker 2: for banning a couple of Israeli ministers who aren't going
- 12:09Speaker 2: to travel here anyway. So what hope do we have
- 12:12Speaker 2: that he's actually going to I mean, who cares? Does
- 12:14Speaker 2: he listen to the international community?
- 12:17Speaker 9: Yeah, but matters of war and peace shouldn't rest just
- 12:21Speaker 9: on the shoulders of mister Trump, and he doesn't get
- 12:25Speaker 9: it right on everything. And the fact of the matter
- 12:27Speaker 9: is you can't stand by while war crimes are being
- 12:30Speaker 9: committed on a daily basis with impunity. And I think
- 12:35Speaker 9: the majority of people in the world would like to
- 12:38Speaker 9: see a much more authoritative mechanism for dealing with conflicts
- 12:41Speaker 9: like this, and I think it's not going to happen.
- 12:45Speaker 9: You know, you mentioned that the UN Security Council is
- 12:49Speaker 9: pretty users. I agree it's useless because five members of
- 12:52Speaker 9: the UN Security Council use and abuse something called the
- 12:56Speaker 9: veto privilege, and that's got to stop. But you know,
- 13:00Speaker 9: u Zine has been against the veto since Peter Fraser
- 13:02Speaker 9: back in the Vulges. But what I'm saying here is
- 13:05Speaker 9: that Ryan sanctions may be a tentative start, and they
- 13:08Speaker 9: may be belated. I think they are very late, but
- 13:12Speaker 9: you've got to if you're serious about bringing about a
- 13:14Speaker 9: two state solution. And mister Nesnijo has always ruled out
- 13:17Speaker 9: a two state solution. You actually have to start with
- 13:20Speaker 9: some measure that shows that you're not prepared to go
- 13:23Speaker 9: on just accepting the status quo. And so many people
- 13:26Speaker 9: are suffering so horribly.
- 13:28Speaker 2: Appreciate your time this morning. Robert Patman, International relations professor.
- 13:31Speaker 2: Twenty three minutes after five, Ryan on the odd of
- 13:34Speaker 2: Teddy breaking down in Pickton while between Pickton and Wellington
- 13:37Speaker 2: overnight morning. Ryan says, Mike just driven my truck around
- 13:40Speaker 2: Wellington City to Mirima, around Orienteal Parade. No sign of
- 13:43Speaker 2: the other of Teddy. And this is at five twenty
- 13:46Speaker 2: two am. It was meant to get in by five,
- 13:49Speaker 2: left just before nine o'clock last night, so you're talking
- 13:51Speaker 2: now eight plus hours stuck on the add of Teddy.
- 13:55Speaker 2: They fixed the engine problem, it was a propulsion problem
- 13:57Speaker 2: at one am. Apparently still not back. If you've got
- 14:00Speaker 2: an uput, anyone got any eyes on the to Teddy,
- 14:03Speaker 2: let us know. It is twenty four minutes after five.
- 14:05Speaker 2: News Talks VB, the early.
- 14:07Speaker 1: Edition Full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by NEWSTALKSB.
- 14:13Speaker 2: News TALKSB twenty six minutes after five. I've been reflecting
- 14:17Speaker 2: this field day's week on how much the dial has
- 14:19Speaker 2: shifted on farming and emissions in this country. We had
- 14:23Speaker 2: Chris Hopkins on the Herald Now program on Tuesday admitting
- 14:28Speaker 2: that essentially they don't currently have a policy on putting
- 14:31Speaker 2: agriculture into the ets. It was a signature policy platform
- 14:36Speaker 2: under the Addourn government. We had to do it. They
- 14:39Speaker 2: told us it was a moral not to. Farmers had
- 14:41Speaker 2: to pay a higher price, and who cares if it's
- 14:43Speaker 2: CO two or is methane or whatever emissions or emissions.
- 14:46Speaker 2: Labor is now open to ditching that all together and
- 14:50Speaker 2: softening its tone on farmers. This is happening for two reasons. One,
- 14:54Speaker 2: people are alive to the fact that without our strong
- 14:56Speaker 2: agricultural export prices, and we're looking at this after six
- 14:59Speaker 2: this small our regions would feel a lot more like
- 15:02Speaker 2: our main centers right now, economically depressed and limping along
- 15:06Speaker 2: like the arter tety. Actually selling a bunch of stuff
- 15:09Speaker 2: we already know how to do well is exactly what
- 15:12Speaker 2: a small trading nation like ours should be doing. Number Two,
- 15:16Speaker 2: the government has successfully, i think, changed the narrative on emissions,
- 15:21Speaker 2: basically through repetition. Our farmers are the most efficient in
- 15:25Speaker 2: the world. The world demands meat and dairy. They like
- 15:29Speaker 2: eating and drinking our stuff. If we cut back and
- 15:33Speaker 2: burn the farmers bite the hand that feeds our regional economies.
- 15:38Speaker 2: Someone else steps in to make that global demand and
- 15:41Speaker 2: you guessed it. Higher emitting meat and dairy products are
- 15:45Speaker 2: sold to the world. So, for reasons of basic economics
- 15:48Speaker 2: and political reality, the dials being shifted on farming and
- 15:52Speaker 2: emissions and labors. Well, a little late to the party,
- 15:56Speaker 2: but at least acknowledging. The landscape has well and truly changed.
- 16:01Speaker 1: Bridge.
- 16:02Speaker 2: You're on news talks. There'll be twenty eight after five.
- 16:04Speaker 2: Now to the UK, they're spending in review. This is
- 16:07Speaker 2: the UK government does it every year, Rachel Reeves, the
- 16:10Speaker 2: Finance minister, very expensive. Billions of dollars spent on the
- 16:14Speaker 2: asylum seeker hotels over there every single year. And she
- 16:18Speaker 2: has finally put a date on when they will shut
- 16:21Speaker 2: these things down. Pull the pin, she says, by the
- 16:24Speaker 2: end of her term. So that's twenty twenty nine. They
- 16:28Speaker 2: will stop spending Get this, three billion dollars a year
- 16:32Speaker 2: on asylum seeker hotels. They come over on the small
- 16:34Speaker 2: boats on the south coast. Put them in a hotel here.
- 16:36Speaker 10: She is, so I can confirm today, but led by
- 16:39Speaker 10: the work of my right honorable friends the Home Secretary,
- 16:43Speaker 10: we will be ending the costly use of hotels to
- 16:46Speaker 10: us house asylum seekers in this parliament.
- 16:51Speaker 2: There you go, There you go, there's Rachel Reeves. No
- 16:54Speaker 2: one believes it.
- 16:55Speaker 11: Don't.
- 16:55Speaker 2: By the way, how do you even do that? They reckon?
- 16:57Speaker 2: I'll cut the batlog with more funding here, more appeal
- 17:00Speaker 2: cases and boot out those who have no right to
- 17:02Speaker 2: be there. Ambitious. I suppose you've got to have goals,
- 17:06Speaker 2: don't you, Ryan. According to the myship tracking dot com website,
- 17:10Speaker 2: the oddity is birthing right now in Wellington Harbor. There
- 17:14Speaker 2: you go, bitch, becan Stateside, our reporters around the country

- 18:07Speaker 2: potential trade deal between the US and China, which would
- 18:10Speaker 2: settle this thing at least for now. We're also going
- 18:12Speaker 2: to talk about the to the meat industry, I should
- 18:15Speaker 2: say food and five exports on track to break new
- 18:18Speaker 2: records after breaking records well pretty much every month for
- 18:22Speaker 2: the last year. So we'll talk about that. Just before
- 18:25Speaker 2: six o'clock, Ryan Hopkins has woken up too late to
- 18:29Speaker 2: the fact that he is in a policy wilderness over
- 18:32Speaker 2: agriculture emissions. Support for agricultural exports is a crucial way
- 18:35Speaker 2: forward for the recovery out of the mya left behind
- 18:38Speaker 2: by the previous lot, says Don Don. I couldn't agree
- 18:40Speaker 2: with him more. Ryan, Do we believe labor or wait
- 18:43Speaker 2: until they are in power of the greens and then
- 18:46Speaker 2: see the true fate of Chris Hopkins. Twenty three away
- 18:49Speaker 2: from six Bryan Bridge. Were going to our reporters around
- 18:52Speaker 2: the country. Calum and to Eden first this morning, Calum,
- 18:54Speaker 2: Good morning morning, Right Tiger Skifield's preparing for opening weekend
- 18:59Speaker 2: this weekend.
- 19:00Speaker 12: Ye, It's all set to kick off this weekend. Queenstown Fields,
- 19:02Speaker 12: the Remarkables and Coronic Peak schedule to open for the
- 19:05Speaker 12: season Saturday and over the Range in Wanaka. Kadrona will
- 19:09Speaker 12: also open on Saturday. Triple Cones still another two weeks away,
- 19:13Speaker 12: but there's plenty of snow for the season to begin.
- 19:15Speaker 12: Codrona staff say the snowmakers have been working in overdrive
- 19:19Speaker 12: for one hundred and forty hours straight now to be
- 19:21Speaker 12: ready for Saturday. In fact, Kadrona's on track to overtake
- 19:24Speaker 12: Fucker Papa as New Zealand's largest ski field this season.
- 19:27Speaker 12: It has one hundred and fifty hectares of new terrain
- 19:30Speaker 12: to be enjoyed.
- 19:31Speaker 2: Brilliant. How's your weather?
- 19:33Speaker 12: Occasional rain for Dunedin today, easterlies and nine.
- 19:36Speaker 2: All right, Claires in Christ morning to you, Claire, Good morning.
- 19:39Speaker 2: And now you've got concerns about this woman missing? What's
- 19:42Speaker 2: going on?
- 19:43Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a real worry. Ryan Look. Seventy nine
- 19:45Speaker 4: year old Elizabeth Nichols was last seen at the Chateau
- 19:48Speaker 4: on the Park hotel in Rickerton at about eight o'clock
- 19:52Speaker 4: last Wednesday night. She'd been reported missing about an hour
- 19:55Speaker 4: or two before that. And here's the catch by a
- 19:58Speaker 4: rest home where she had just been admitted to in
- 20:01Speaker 4: the sort of presetting hours for some respite care. She
- 20:05Speaker 4: has been living with dementia. Now, Yesterday, marking a week
- 20:08Speaker 4: since her disappearance, police and the family spoke with media.
- 20:12Speaker 4: They describe Elizabeth as being someone who always puts others first.
- 20:15Speaker 4: Her husband of almost sixty years, Gary, says the family
- 20:19Speaker 4: has been living with painful uncertainty for the past week,
- 20:22Speaker 4: while Detective Sergeant Lucy Aldridge says policees now have grave
- 20:26Speaker 4: concerns for her well being. It has been very wet
- 20:28Speaker 4: and cold this week.
- 20:30Speaker 11: She says.
- 20:30Speaker 4: They feel they've done extensive searches in the Ricketton area
- 20:33Speaker 4: and have done all they can do and searched all
- 20:36Speaker 4: the obvious places. They now need the public's help, particularly
- 20:39Speaker 4: to check CCTV footage.
- 20:41Speaker 2: Yeah, well, family, how's the weather? Cloudy and more rain
- 20:45Speaker 2: here today?
- 20:46Speaker 4: Southwesterly is the high will be ten.
- 20:48Speaker 2: Max and Wellington heymax. Good morning now. Water bills are
- 20:51Speaker 2: going up.
- 20:53Speaker 14: Yeah, in front of the post this morning City Council
- 20:55Speaker 14: figures showing the average Wellington home going to be paying
- 20:57Speaker 14: more than twenty five hundred dollars a year per water
- 21:00Speaker 14: connection as part of rates. That's nearly twenty dollars a
- 21:04Speaker 14: day per household. Water is still a big problem in
- 21:07Speaker 14: the capital, perhaps the biggest problem. But then sometime after
- 21:11Speaker 14: July next year, water is going to be charged separately.
- 21:13Speaker 14: It'll cost less at first thanks to amalgamation. This is
- 21:17Speaker 14: Metro Water which will be running things across the city
- 21:20Speaker 14: the Hut Potidor.
- 21:22Speaker 2: But after that.
- 21:23Speaker 14: They'll keep rising again and the forecast is to an
- 21:25Speaker 14: average of more than seven thousand dollars per home by
- 21:28Speaker 14: twenty thirty three, and it'll be paid separately as well.
- 21:31Speaker 14: So high rates a big issue heading into October. One
- 21:34Speaker 14: of the front runners, Ray Cheung, promising of rates freeze.
- 21:37Speaker 14: Jury still out on how he'll do it because some
- 21:39Speaker 14: of these issues like water run pretty deep. How see
- 21:43Speaker 14: your weather mix mostly overcast with the odd shower fourteen
- 21:47Speaker 14: the high central brilliant.
- 21:48Speaker 2: Thank you Neiba hey Neva greetings. Now north shore subjects.
- 21:52Speaker 2: We had boost water moon last night.
- 21:54Speaker 15: Yes, the poor thing. So this was hill creased Northcote Tekapoona.
- 21:58Speaker 15: Now they were dealing with low water pressure, no water
- 22:02Speaker 15: at all or only a little dribble because of this fault.
- 22:05Speaker 15: So according to the water Care website, it says that
- 22:07Speaker 15: the technicians they were on site to rectify the issue.
- 22:10Speaker 15: Sharon Danks from waterkere sees at the cruise. They worked
- 22:13Speaker 15: overnight on this broken section of the water main and
- 22:17Speaker 15: fingers cross. They're not expecting further impacts to customers. But
- 22:20Speaker 15: last night apparently you know North Coats Movie Theater, that's
- 22:23Speaker 15: Bridgeway Cinema, they canceled the sessions last night because of
- 22:26Speaker 15: the water issue.
- 22:27Speaker 2: Ah, they would rap unity, wouldn't I? Yes, how's our weather?
- 22:31Speaker 15: Okay, we've got showers possibly heavy with thunderstorms and hail
- 22:34Speaker 15: west of the city this morning. You know what, she

- 23:23Speaker 2: spoke to the other days. She said, thank god, I've
- 23:25Speaker 2: only got two knees, Darling. I couldn't bear to have
- 23:27Speaker 2: another one of these operations. Anyway. Government announced the extra
- 23:31Speaker 2: elective surgeries that they promised, the ten thousand operations that
- 23:35Speaker 2: they promised by the end of June. Guess what they've
- 23:38Speaker 2: already hit close to ten thousand. Health Minister simm And
- 23:42Speaker 2: Brown says they were completed by the eleventh of May
- 23:45Speaker 2: and eight thousand, six hundred of them were outsourced to
- 23:48Speaker 2: private hospitals. And guess what when you go private it
- 23:50Speaker 2: happens eighteen to six stateside was Mitch McCann.
- 23:54Speaker 17: Next.
- 23:57Speaker 2: You know what's pretty impressive that we've got business is
- 24:00Speaker 2: right here in New Zealand who actually care about the
- 24:03Speaker 2: planet and are doing something real about it. And you
- 24:05Speaker 2: know who's leading the way in this ex bol yep,
- 24:07Speaker 2: the warmest feet in the world. People, you know them.
- 24:09Speaker 2: They've got something called the Expol Earth Initiative, and honestly,
- 24:12Speaker 2: it is quite an impressive thing. All seven of their
- 24:15Speaker 2: factories across the country are fitted with recycling machines, not
- 24:19Speaker 2: just for their own offcuts, but for waste collected from
- 24:21Speaker 2: building sites and even households across the country. They're recycling
- 24:25Speaker 2: over get this, five hundred tons of polystyring every year,
- 24:30Speaker 2: and they've set up recycling bins through building merchants nationwide
- 24:33Speaker 2: taking back packaging waste as well. That's one thousand cubic
- 24:36Speaker 2: meters of waste each month, roughly ten truck and trailer loads.
- 24:41Speaker 2: Even better, seventy five percent of their products now contain
- 24:44Speaker 2: recycled contents seventy five percent. So if you're building or
- 24:48Speaker 2: renovating and want to be kinder on the planet, go

- 24:56Speaker 1: International correspondence with Enzen Eye Insurance Mine for New Zealand business.
- 25:02Speaker 2: MS McCann is in the States for US this morning.
- 25:04Speaker 2: Much the deal, well, I say deal, but it hasn't
- 25:07Speaker 2: been signed by the Chinese yet, but Trump's pretty warm
- 25:10Speaker 2: on it. The trade deal with China. Yeah, that's right.
- 25:13Speaker 2: Good morning to you. Ryan.
- 25:15Speaker 17: It's interesting though Donald Trump has called this a deal,
- 25:17Speaker 17: but really it's a bit of a framework to continue
- 25:20Speaker 17: working on a deal down the road. So they've had
- 25:23Speaker 17: talks in London in the last couple of days, China
- 25:26Speaker 17: and the United States, and they've come up with this
- 25:28Speaker 17: framework to work together in the coming months while they
- 25:32Speaker 17: sought all these trade issues out. Now there are a
- 25:34Speaker 17: couple of things each side wants. The United States wants
- 25:37Speaker 17: these rare earth minerals from China. They're used for all
- 25:40Speaker 17: different types of things, are used in pars, for windshields
- 25:43Speaker 17: and magnets, they're also used in defense equipment. So Donald
- 25:46Speaker 17: Trump says, yes, they will get some of that. And
- 25:49Speaker 17: what China wanted was the United States to ease up
- 25:52Speaker 17: on the way it's treating Chinese international students. Donald Trump
- 25:56Speaker 17: says that will happen as well, but we don't have
- 25:58Speaker 17: a lot of detail around this. So there's one other
- 26:01Speaker 17: thing that China wants, and that is the US to
- 26:04Speaker 17: continue exporting semiconductor chips to China, which is really important
- 26:08Speaker 17: to China. But we don't know if that's going to happen.
- 26:11Speaker 17: So a lot of unclear sort of detail around US,
- 26:15Speaker 17: but Donald Trump's is a deal of some sort has done.
- 26:18Speaker 2: Yeah, and I suppose the most important thing is the
- 26:21Speaker 2: talking and Trump's saying, you know, our relationship is on
- 26:24Speaker 2: the men. Now the protest, what's going on? What's the latest?
- 26:27Speaker 2: Anything kicking off while we were sleeping?
- 26:30Speaker 1: Not yet.
- 26:31Speaker 17: We are expecting large protests again across a number of
- 26:34Speaker 17: US cities in the coming hours. It's only mid afternoon
- 26:37Speaker 17: here in the United States at the moment, but since Friday,
- 26:40Speaker 17: three hundred and thirty people have been arrested in Los Angeles,
- 26:43Speaker 17: more than two hundred and forty in San fran a
- 26:45Speaker 17: dozen in Austin, and there was about thirty people arrested
- 26:48Speaker 17: in New York last night. But this isn't just playing
- 26:50Speaker 17: out on the streets. It's also playing out online and
- 26:53Speaker 17: on TV between Donald Trump and the governor of California,
- 26:57Speaker 17: Gavin Newsom, who held us sort of national speech last
- 27:01Speaker 17: night that all the TV networks took live, and some
- 27:04Speaker 17: people are suggesting he might be using this as an
- 27:06Speaker 17: opportunity to position himself as the leader of the opposition
- 27:10Speaker 17: here in the US. Of course, their Democrats are in disarray.
- 27:12Speaker 17: They don't have a clear leader. Some are seeing this
- 27:15Speaker 17: as Gavin Newsom's chance to do that ahead of the
- 27:17Speaker 17: twenty twenty eight election.
- 27:19Speaker 2: Good luck by having last time they ended a liberal
- 27:22Speaker 2: Californian governors as their party leader. Hey, thanks so much
- 27:27Speaker 2: much good to have you on the show. Mitch McCann,
- 27:28Speaker 2: our US correspondent, just gone twelve minutes away from six
- 27:32Speaker 2: Ryan Bridge, GEWE. Numbers out this morning show our food
- 27:35Speaker 2: and fiber exports on track to break even the last
- 27:38Speaker 2: records we set. Dairy export revenue up sixteen percent to
- 27:41Speaker 2: twenty seven billion record meet and wall up eight percent
- 27:44Speaker 2: twelve point three billion record, horticulture up nineteen percent to
- 27:48Speaker 2: eight point five billion on tract to hit sixty billion
- 27:50Speaker 2: total for the first time. This is for the year
- 27:52Speaker 2: ending during projections forecast from the Outlook for Primary Industries report.
- 27:57Speaker 2: Suma Katapeva is with US Meat Industry Associate Ation SUMER.
- 28:00Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning. This is great news.
- 28:05Speaker 11: Oh, it certainly is. It's very pleasing to see this
- 28:09Speaker 11: forecast uplift and eight percent is quite impressive to the
- 28:13Speaker 11: year in thirty June. So yeah, it's a good good
- 28:17Speaker 11: outlook for the sector and there's always you know, these
- 28:21Speaker 11: results reinforced that the red meat sector plays a really
- 28:25Speaker 11: crucial role in supporting New Zealand's economy, particularly in our
- 28:29Speaker 11: rural and regional community.
- 28:31Speaker 2: Who's buying our meat, our locke.
- 28:34Speaker 11: This year, we've seen the growth and value to most
- 28:37Speaker 11: of our major export markets. There's been robust demand for
- 28:41Speaker 11: New Zealand beef and she'd Meet from the United States,
- 28:44Speaker 11: a significant increase in she'd Meet volumes to the EU
- 28:48Speaker 11: and we're starting to see a good recovery and exports
- 28:51Speaker 11: to China as well.
- 28:52Speaker 2: Long may that continue because that's important obviously now one
- 28:56Speaker 2: of the things the government wants to do. And by
- 28:58Speaker 2: the way, the projection for sixty five billion by twenty
- 29:02Speaker 2: twenty nine means that this is expected to keep increasing.
- 29:05Speaker 2: But this idea that we will double the value of
- 29:08Speaker 2: exports in ten years, do you think it's doable?
- 29:11Speaker 8: Oh?
- 29:12Speaker 11: Look, I think it's a wonderful aspiration and from our perspective,
- 29:17Speaker 11: it is doable. We're doing all that we can to
- 29:20Speaker 11: lift the value of our products going into export markets.
- 29:25Speaker 11: We've got a robust strategy in place to do that
- 29:29Speaker 11: and we're working very closely to keep on top of
- 29:32Speaker 11: that and keep targeting our exports to those high performing
- 29:37Speaker 11: markets that are paying good export process.
- 29:39Speaker 2: What would product what would be the thing getting in
- 29:41Speaker 2: the way. Is it just global demand and supply or
- 29:44Speaker 2: is there something in New Zealand. What's one thing the
- 29:46Speaker 2: government could do to make that job easier for you? Oh?
- 29:50Speaker 11: Look, I think the government is later focused on supporting
- 29:54Speaker 11: the primary industry to grow and to continue to be
- 29:57Speaker 11: that economic engine for New Zealan. I've just been at
- 30:02Speaker 11: Field Days yesterday and the messages are really reassuring about
- 30:07Speaker 11: being right there next to the primary industries, helping them
- 30:11Speaker 11: to uplift productivity, value production, making sure that there are
- 30:18Speaker 11: no impediments, be they trade impediments or domestic regulatory impediments
- 30:23Speaker 11: that just add a necessary cost and frustration. So I
- 30:27Speaker 11: think the government is certainly focused on doing what it
- 30:30Speaker 11: can to support the growth of the spector.
- 30:34Speaker 2: Sum I appreciate your time this morning that Suma Kuldipeva,
- 30:36Speaker 2: the Meat Industry Association couldn't name one thing the government
- 30:40Speaker 2: could do more So, clearly the regulation of the settings
- 30:44Speaker 2: are right now. We just need to go out and
- 30:46Speaker 2: do it. Double those exports. Eight to Sex News Talk,

- 31:58Speaker 3: so he had his piano sandbox underneath. Feet in the sand,

- 32:41Speaker 2: Seat, so why not use that? I couldn't have done more.
- 32:43Speaker 3: It's just it's the weirdest thing.
- 32:44Speaker 2: What's more, Australia does seventy to eighty percent of their
- 32:48Speaker 2: elective surgeries are performed by the private sector.
- 32:52Speaker 3: The public getting a hip replacement.
- 32:53Speaker 2: What do you care?
- 32:54Speaker 3: What's the matter?
- 32:55Speaker 2: You don't care. You're thankful that you can walk.

- 33:00Speaker 2: Do you know we did only news covered the wall.
- 33:03Speaker 2: We didn't quite get.
- 33:04Speaker 3: You needed more comprehensive coverage with what we got an hour.
- 33:07Speaker 2: That's why we spent a lot of time on food
- 33:09Speaker 2: and fiber.
- 33:10Speaker 3: What a well food and fibers, I mean, what a story.
- 33:12Speaker 2: That is great story.
- 33:13Speaker 3: But I mean imagine if you're the agricultural trade minister
- 33:16Speaker 3: at the moment, wandering around field days. I mean that
- 33:18Speaker 3: they've been bright. They'll be passing you as you wandered between.
- 33:22Speaker 2: Tractors, going to say pats on the back.
- 33:24Speaker 3: Anyway, the decision is that all the state housing is
- 33:26Speaker 3: going to have wool carpet. So apparently it can be
- 33:30Speaker 3: done because the great argument has been wolves more expensive
- 33:32Speaker 3: and synthetic. Of course, apparently it can be done cost depictably,
- 33:36Speaker 3: so that's good for us as well.
- 33:37Speaker 2: Good fire attachment very much.
- 33:39Speaker 3: Country is on a roll with the money.
