  Speaker 2: of these talks, Iran does not do what it says

  Speaker 2: it's gonna do.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: Just give up nuclear weapons, give up nuclear ambitions, give

  Speaker 4: away their nuclear material, close nuclear facilities.
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: Then the War Department is here and prepared to restart

• 1:32
  Speaker 2: And meanwhile, the Junior President Jed Evans has been shooting
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: down critics at the White House.
• 1:35
  Speaker 6: Only way the Iranians get any of those resources, not
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: a single penny, by the way, from the United States
• 1:41
  Speaker 6: of America under any circumstances.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: But the only way that they would ever.
• 1:45
  Speaker 6: Get any benefit of the bargain is if they comply
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: fully and change their behavior. And so you really have
• 1:52
  Speaker 6: a win win situation for the United States of America.
• 1:55
  Speaker 6: If the Iranians don't change their behavior, their military and
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: their nuclear program is still destroyed.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Boy that boy can talk. Now there's a signing of
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: the deal in Geneva on Friday the formal signing, and
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: the world has been asking what on earth did the
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: president sign yesterday? Was it the gener check. We'll give
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: you more details on that later with Mike. Now, a
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: big day for the UK. Polls have opened for the
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: historic by election in Macafield. This could determine Kiir Sadama's future.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Starmer says he'll welcome Andy Burnham with open arms if
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: he gets into parliament.
• 2:24
  Speaker 7: And there's a great asset and yes, I want him
• 2:27
  Speaker 7: to have a big role in government. If he comes
• 2:30
  Speaker 7: back into parliament, my hoopie wins in the by election,
• 2:32
  Speaker 7: he'll be a fantastic asset for our party and for
• 2:35
  Speaker 7: the country. I'm not walking away.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: I'm going to fight.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: It, okay, And finally we are right. Japan's ice cream
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: giants are under an investigation. The country's competition watchdog has
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: raided several major makers of the claims they allegedly formed
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: a cartel to raise the price of their ice cream products.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Reports suggest some popular ice cream have seen repeated price
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: hikes of up to ten percent. And it's summer.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Before the news breaks Here at first, Andrew Dickens on
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: early edition with spark for business technology that keeps business moving.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: News talks'd be.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: It's coming up ten out to five. So I lived
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: in Wellington back in the nineteen eighties. I was working
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: in Broadcasting house with Paul Holmes. He was there justin refrained,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: A very young Mike Hosking was doing the Tonight Show
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: and I was an Auckland boy, and I ended out
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: in Wellington and I found the town at the time
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: a dowdy, dark gothic place, but boyed the nightlife hummed.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: I quite liked it. And then when I next returned
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: it was the late nineties and look at that lambton
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Key and a lot of Willis Street had had a
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: major streetscape and paving transformation, and coming from seventy style
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Auckland with footpaths were full of chewing gum. I thought
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: the Golden Mile looked amazing. There were wide footpaths, there
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: was calm traffic, there were nice trees. And then my
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: son went and studied and lived in Wellington for seven years.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: So I was a regular visitor, particularly on couver duper weekend,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: and I never I've thought the Golden Mile looked bad.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Courtney Place looked trashed, but then again it's Party Central
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: and it's gone twenty four to seven. So all this
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: argeubigi that's been going on for a while about the
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Golden Mile project and its huge costs really as fine
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: right over my head. Your main street is fine, Wellington,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: particularly when your pipes are broken and there's feces in
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: your sea. You don't need to spend the money on
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: your main street. And how bad have you got when
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: all that took was Andrew Little strolling in, knocking some
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: heads and saying, get a grip. This is not a
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: time for this rubbish. It's all good.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: News talk said, be all right.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you heard the Fisheries Amendment Bill.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Seems well it's stuck, isn't it. It's stuck. This is
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: this thing that Shane Jones is pushing. This is the
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: thing with the bottom trawling that John A. Ridley swam
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: half of the North Island to protest against. This thing
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: has now been stuck. Act don't like it, Other parties
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: don't like it. And so now he said we're not
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: doing this before the election. So how does the industry
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: feel about that? Were there actually good things in the
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: legislation that was proposed we're going to talk to the executive,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: the chief executive of Seafood New Zealand. Next, it is
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: twelve after five.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Currett First Andrew Dickens on early edition with Spark for
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Business Technology that keeps business moving News Talk said b.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: It's fourteen minutes after five. Don't forget the text ninety
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: two ninety two small charge apply. So fishing companies are
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: fuming as the Fishery's Amendment Bill seems marooned for now.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Shane Jones told a select committee has been put to
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: one side until after the election. He says it needs
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: a little bit of panel beating to get the coalition
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: partners on board.
• 5:44
  Speaker 8: There was quite a bit of disharmony in the broader
• 5:46
  Speaker 8: community of people who have a vested stake in fisheries.
• 5:49
  Speaker 8: So we're going to take some more time, allow some
• 5:52
  Speaker 8: more engagement and for those people who feel that their
• 5:56
  Speaker 8: voices weren't heard, then we'll use the experience of an
• 5:59
  Speaker 8: elect and let's see what happens.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: So how does the industry feel about this. We've got
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Lisa Footcheck on the line, Seafood New Zealand chief Executive.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Good morning to you, Lisa, Maurina Andrew So was it
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: a mess of a bill? I mean, so many parties
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: against it. Was it actually a bit of a mess
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: of a bill?
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: Not at all?
• 6:16
  Speaker 9: Look, I think the issue here is that quis are
• 6:19
  Speaker 9: understandably passionate about the MINA, none more so than the
• 6:23
  Speaker 9: commercial industry, of course, whose livelihoods depend on it. Now,
• 6:28
  Speaker 9: I think what has happened here is that passion has
• 6:30
  Speaker 9: translated into misinformation, and unfortunately the facts and the very
• 6:35
  Speaker 9: very positive outcomes that this bill would have brought in
• 6:39
  Speaker 9: have been clouded by that public debate.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: So you would argue that while there are some points
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: in the bill that are a little bit controversial, the
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: bottom trawling thing and all that sort of stuff, and
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: the fishing around marine sanctuaries, that there's an awful lot
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: that's good in the bill which is now put on pause.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: So what does that mean for the industry?
• 6:56
  Speaker 9: Look, that is correct, there is an awful lot of
• 6:58
  Speaker 9: good that has been put on But can I just
• 7:00
  Speaker 9: correct you there? The bill did not speak to bottom
• 7:03
  Speaker 9: trawling or fishing around marine sanctuaries. This bill was about
• 7:08
  Speaker 9: adding additional fisheries management tools to our toolbox. It basically
• 7:14
  Speaker 9: updated legislation which desperately needed some tweaking because it's been
• 7:19
  Speaker 9: in place now since nineteen ninety six.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: So why is act into a lesser degree in national
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Why did they have problems with it? Because that's what
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: you need the coalition partners to get across.
• 7:29
  Speaker 9: Look, that's correct, and I think you said it all.
• 7:32
  Speaker 9: The Minister said it in his introduction there, which is
• 7:34
  Speaker 9: that people have become very passionate about this. Our politicians
• 7:38
  Speaker 9: have been lobbied very hard by some loud noises and
• 7:41
  Speaker 9: some loud voices. However, they are not focused on the
• 7:45
  Speaker 9: facts of the matter, and it's really critical that in
• 7:48
  Speaker 9: a pssive legislation like this that the facts do prevail.
• 7:51
  Speaker 9: Now those facts that this, as I said, would have
• 7:55
  Speaker 9: added additional tools to our toolbox to essentially ensure that
• 7:59
  Speaker 9: the object of the Act was achieved, which is sustainable
• 8:04
  Speaker 9: utilization whilst enabling utilization.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, do you think getting it through after the election
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: is now realistic?
• 8:12
  Speaker 9: Look, we are very hopeful that it will be. I
• 8:14
  Speaker 9: mean we look, we absolutely understand that robust debate in
• 8:18
  Speaker 9: these matters is to be expected. But look, keys need
• 8:22
  Speaker 9: to be properly focused on the things that really do
• 8:25
  Speaker 9: matter for them. During election times, and that's things like education, health.
• 8:29
  Speaker 9: I mean, obviously we're in the middle of the cost
• 8:31
  Speaker 9: of living crisis. Nobody wants to be making decisions on toddal,
• 8:35
  Speaker 9: allowable catches and fisheries when it comes to making decisions
• 8:38
  Speaker 9: at the polls.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: So tell me, finally, what's one thing in the bill
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: that we're going to regret missing out on because it's
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: now been put on hold?
• 8:46
  Speaker 9: Well, as I say, the ability to manage our fisheries
• 8:50
  Speaker 9: utilizing all of the new technologies that we have, such
• 8:53
  Speaker 9: as the electronic reporting, geospatial positioning, So things like management
• 8:59
  Speaker 9: procedures which make decisions upfront about what to do when
• 9:04
  Speaker 9: we see certain signals in the fishery rather than doing
• 9:08
  Speaker 9: making decisions after those signals have already happened to.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Right, Lisa, I thank you so very very much. Lisa Footcheck,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: who is the CEO of Seafood New Zealand. So we've
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: been watching the football, haven't we? And how much have
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: we been watching the football? Ball that TV and Z
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: is very proud of the fact that they reckon. They
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: got two point three million streams on TV and Z
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: plus across the twenty four hour period on the moment
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: when we're playing against Iran. There were five hundred and
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: fifty five thousand streams on TV and Z plus and
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: apparently it worked. How about that for a miracle. And
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: extra to that is it was on TV and ZA
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: you know, the terrestrial and there four hundred and sixty
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: five thousand people watch the game. It puts it in
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: the top five highest rating football matches and sport matches
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: on broadcast TV since twenty ten. So we love the
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: round ball. But then again this weekend the oval A
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: is back big time with an incredible final, the Canes
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: against the Chiefs, the two best teams in Wellington. It's
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: going to be awesome. We'll get the Canes CEO on next.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: The First Word on the News of the Day Early
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: edition with Andrew Dickins and Spark for Business Technology that
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: keeps business moving News Talks that'd be.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: It's five twenty one. Mark does not agree with Leister.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: He says, rubbish, it's a get out jail free car
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: for an industry at the expense of recreational fishes. The
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: facts by Lisa are selective and one sided. The debate continues.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: The legislation is on hold until after the election. So
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: the Super Rugby Final, Boy, it's going to be so
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: good at Blockbuster Hurricanes hosting the Chiefs and I sold out,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: cake Tin sold out in fifteen minutes. The Chiefs chasing
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: their first title in thirteen years after falling short in
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: the last three Grand finals. But the Hurricanes are very
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: hungry to lift the trophy again they won last ten
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: years ago. Tony Philp is the interim Hurricane CEO. Joys
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: you now, congratulations, You've got a hell of a match
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: on your hands, Tony, Good.
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: Morning, Andrew. And absolutely we're super excited about tomorrow night.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: This sold out Capton does it show that rugby's back
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: big time, particularly in the Capitol?
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: Oh? Well absolutely, And you know it's a real good
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: reflection of you know, our city has gotten behind the
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: team and got behind the club, and you know, and
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: also I think it's an opportunity for us to come
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: together as a community and then bring a joy back
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: to our city again.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, now you are the interim CEO. And of course
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of debate around the place about the
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: future of Super Rugby. Is the competition back where it
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: needs to be, because we've seen some pretty full houses
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: over the last few weeks or is there still a
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: lot of work to go to get it back to
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: full health.
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: I think what we've seen this year is that the
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: Super Rugby competition is certainly a fun of mine for
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: fans in New Zealand and that's been really good. You know,
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: we saw that down in christ jut and obviously we're
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: seeing it this year with a home final that falled
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: up in fifteen minutes. And you know, we're excited about
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: this year and we're looking forward to what potentially might
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: come in the future.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Can I just say that what I see as a trend,
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: and I compare this to the Warriors and orkandev C,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: is that winners are grinners, and that rugby fans turn
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: up if you're winning, but they don't turn up when
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: you're losing, and that's not being faithful to the club.
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I think from our point of view,
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: we know that winning has helped our fans come back
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: and connect again, and now it's our challenge is to
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: make them loyal to us as we move forward no
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: matter what. And you know, we've got some ideas and
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: thoughts in that space around how we can really engage
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: our fans both on and off the field, and we've
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: seen that with our match enhancement, and we've seen that
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: with the city this week with brief transportation and what
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: we do beforehand and also after the game. So we
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: know it's at the moment, it's part of the event.
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: Has ragged meyside of it, but it's not the only
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: part of the event, and we've got to get better
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: at that.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, you also need a roof, but then again also
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: you need some water pipes and other things. That's Clark laidlaw.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, when he was coach of the sevens and
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: then ended up with the Hurricanes, I thought, hello, sevens
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: to fifteen, seven to fifteens. He's done fantastic job.
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: He's done an amazing job. So it's my background too, So
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: we've both transitioned from you know, a seven's environment, and
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: you know, we both really looked at how we could
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: take the culture and the environmy and the environment we
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: wanted to create to enhance the performance in the fifteen side.
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: And you know, we're really proud about what it looks like.
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: And Clark has been instrumental making that happen.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Chiefs have lost three Grand Finals in a row, so
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: they're going to be very very hungry and very very desperate.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Are you hungry enough to give them a fourth?
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: Absolutely? Yeah, Well, our last final was ten years ago
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: and we've only won one title, so we've got no
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: illusion that the Chiefs are going to come down here
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: and play what's going to be an epic game. It's
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: the two best teams and we're super excited about taking
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: that challenge on and doing in front of our home
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: crowd that's going to be loud and boisterous and make
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: sure that we stay ahead of the game.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be in the carramandle in front of
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: a very big TV with a nice, nice bottle of
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Pinot Noir and I'm so looking forward to it. And
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: I used to live in Wellington. So go the Canes
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: and all the very best And thanks for joining us.

• 14:39
  Speaker 2: I mean it kicked off on Sunday Nicola Willis alleging
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: a massive hidden bill in Labour's policies, and she also
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: had a crack at the lack of policies from Labor.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: And while that entertained her base who believed that, there
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: were many who said she might have pulled the trigger
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: too soon on that, and there was something that said
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: it was a classic case of the pot calling the
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: kettle black. So Heather on this station said it was
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: way too and it should have been left closer to
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: election day. Cameron Bagriy came on this show and said
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: that all parties have hidden bills and because of our
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: fiscal state, all policies are going to have to be
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: paid for by debt, so there's hidden bills everywhere. So
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Nicholas shock could have backfired on her. And then Audrey
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Young yesterday and the Herald pointed out that last election,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Nicola Willis released her fiscal policy with costings only four
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: days before advanced voting started and seventeen days before election.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: This year's election is on one hundred and forty one
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: days away from today. So look, I enjoy this election
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: style BEFO because it's great grist to the mill for
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: people in my job we have to talk this stuff.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: But I too wonder why National pulled the trigger so
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: early on what was a nuclear weapon. It raises the
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: question whether they're really really worried about the opposition beating them.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: But you know, it shows a hand and come election
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: time maybe Labor will be better prepared for the hard questions.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: But then again, it's labor, so that's only maybe news
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: talk said be So let me tell you about Mcafield.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: There are seventy thousand voters in Macafield. It's a big
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: old suburb constituency on the edge of Wigan and it's
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: in Manchester and of course they're choosing a new MP.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: The reason they're choosing a new MP is the incumbent
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: stood down now the candidate for the ruling Labor Party
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: and the favorite to win as a fellow by the
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: name of Andy Burnham. You would have heard of him.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: He is the mayor of Greater Manchester and he's a
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: former MP, so he's got political stripes. If Burnham wins,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: it is widely assumed that he will launch a campaign
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: to unseatsi Kia Starmer as the Labor leader and that
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: means of course, as the uk Prime Minister, or he
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: will just persuade Starma to just stand down. Isn't that
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: amazing now if that actually happens, and why is that happening?
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: And why would they want to go even further left
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: than Sirkia with Andy Burnham? But whatever, If this happens,
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: the United Kingdom would then have it seven prime minister
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: since twenty seventeen in just a few weeks or months.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: And not only that, most of them haven't even been
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: elected because they only have elections every five years. So
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: it's a fascinating story and it's happening right now. Polls
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: close at nine results between one and four this afternoon.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Vincent McAvennie on the program in a few moments time
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: to tell us more of the background and also to
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: talk about an incredible strike by Ukraine on the refinery
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: near Moscow you've got Early Edition. I'm Andrew Dickens. This
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: is News Talks at B.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on Early Edition with Andrew
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Dickens and Spark for Business Technology that keeps business moving
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Used Talks at B.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: As important to welcome to the program, thinking for choosing us.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: My name is Andrew Dickens, filling in for Ryan Bridge,
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: who's away for three weeks and he's been galibating, heing
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: around France and he's going to come back refreshed and
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: ready to go on Monday morning at five a m. Now,
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Bob's a little upset with me, he writes on the
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: text ninety two ninety two. Please don't call it the
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Cake ten Andrew, that's just a disparaging moniker applied by
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: an envious Orcamedia who only have this stodgy, old fashioned
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Eden park. I'm sorry, Bob, I just thought Cake ten
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: had started, had got into everybody's bones. But there we go.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: So at the moment it's known as Henry Stadium, right,
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: which you know, and that's Henry without an E as well,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: which is apparently cool. But its official name is the
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Wellington Regional Stadium. Bob talk about stodgy and old fashioned
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Wellington Regional Stadium. If you don't want me to call
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: it a cake tin, call it give it a better name.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: And what's wrong with cake? I like cake? It tastes good.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: Twenty two to two six News Talk Sibby.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Around the country we go. Callum Proctor is out of
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: duned him Good morning to you, Callum. Welcome to Friday.
• 19:00
  Speaker 10: Yep, morning Andrew.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: You've got a bit of State Higway one getting a
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: spruce up.
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: We have.
• 19:05
  Speaker 10: It's a section of State Highway one between Dunedin and Omorus.
• 19:09
  Speaker 10: From next week, large rocks large boulders will be placed
• 19:13
  Speaker 10: along the shoreline of the seven kilometer section that runs
• 19:17
  Speaker 10: between the main Trunk rail line and the Kentucky Coast
• 19:22
  Speaker 10: south of Omoru. It's been a roading there for decades.
• 19:25
  Speaker 10: This rock arm will absorb all of the wave energy
• 19:28
  Speaker 10: and reduce erosion instead of the highway coppying it, so
• 19:31
  Speaker 10: it will protect the road from damage and also increase
• 19:34
  Speaker 10: its resilience.
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: That's the plan.
• 19:35
  Speaker 10: At least it's pretty crucial Andrew. We don't lose the
• 19:38
  Speaker 10: stretch of highway. The only emergency detour isn't suitable for
• 19:41
  Speaker 10: two way traffic and it would require heavy vehicles to
• 19:44
  Speaker 10: travel an extra four hundred k's inland to get to
• 19:48
  Speaker 10: Christ Church in Dunedin.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Okay, so what's the weather?
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: Lake?
• 19:51
  Speaker 10: But early low cloud here, but a fine friday mostly
• 19:54
  Speaker 10: northerleast becomes strong and sixteen.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much. Cal I'm Claire sherword from Grastians.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Good morning to you.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: Good more visibility for our staff.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: We've got an interesting voice coming out of nowhere? Is
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: it coming out of your studio, Claar? Is it it's
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: coming out of your studio.
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: Claire, I can't hear it anywhere.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Okay, interesting, all right, well shout so we don't hear
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: the mumbling voice. Hey, what's you at Christiach Airport?
• 20:18
  Speaker 11: Well, the Garden City's airport has opened this new freight
• 20:22
  Speaker 11: handling facility which is set to keep up with demand
• 20:25
  Speaker 11: from online shopping down here. This is a forty million
• 20:28
  Speaker 11: dollar freight aircraft parking area known as an apron for
• 20:31
  Speaker 11: those who know their flight stuff now. This is the
• 20:34
  Speaker 11: equivalent to six football pitches, providing space for up to
• 20:37
  Speaker 11: eight smaller or four larger aircraft at any given time.
• 20:41
  Speaker 11: Chief Executive of Christchurdge Airport, Justin Watson, says the way
• 20:45
  Speaker 11: people shop has changed rapidly, particularly since COVID, with more
• 20:49
  Speaker 11: people expecting faster delivery than ever before. He says it's
• 20:53
  Speaker 11: a built capacity for the future, thinking ahead and is
• 20:56
  Speaker 11: enduring that the South Island is ready for more opportunities
• 20:59
  Speaker 11: still to come.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Now, you've got a big Rugby league game coming up
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: this weekend that's going to be such a party. What's
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: the weather like?
• 21:05
  Speaker 11: Yes, up the wars. We've got a fine day to
• 21:08
  Speaker 11: day on Friday. There is a heavy frost out there
• 21:10
  Speaker 11: to start. A bit of high cloud expected a bit
• 21:12
  Speaker 11: later this evening nor the least developing and the high
• 21:14
  Speaker 11: TODA eight fifteen have a good one.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Claudia O'Neil joins us now from Wellington. How to Claudia,
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: And while most of the world is celebrating the scrapping
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: of the Golden Mile project in Wellington one block, saying
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: this is a lost opportunity.
• 21:25
  Speaker 12: Yeah so, an urban planning experts is the scrapping of
• 21:28
  Speaker 12: Wellington's Golden Mile is a dramatic loss. Yesterday, fourteen council
• 21:32
  Speaker 12: members voted to kill the Courtney Place revitalization, instead pursuing
• 21:36
  Speaker 12: a scaled down version dubbed a tin mile. It comes
• 21:39
  Speaker 12: after a review found further budget blowout so likely for
• 21:43
  Speaker 12: the once ambitious project. But Auckland University Senior lecturer Tim
• 21:47
  Speaker 12: Welch says the new plan amounts to piecemeal improvements. He
• 21:50
  Speaker 12: says it's not going to significantly improve the quality of
• 21:53
  Speaker 12: the corridor or any reliability of travel.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Anne. How is the weather in
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Wellington today?
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: Fine?
• 21:59
  Speaker 12: Spouse clouding over in the evening, northwester Ofly is developing
• 22:02
  Speaker 12: in the morning and becoming strong in the afternoon right
• 22:04
  Speaker 12: now about eight point two degrees.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Meanwhile, we've got a text out of Wellington about the
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: whole Caketon thing the Wellington Regional Stadium. Anyway, someone says
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: we'll always be called the Caketon as long as there
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: is sport and as long as there is cake. Come
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: up with a better name. To walk home we go,
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Neiva read Amna good morning to you.
• 22:21
  Speaker 13: Good morning.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: So there's a celebration of Dame Jeel's top today.
• 22:24
  Speaker 13: That's right, it's happening here in Auckland. So we know
• 22:27
  Speaker 13: that Tammy Nielsen and Ikamoora and Neil fin Helen Clark
• 22:31
  Speaker 13: they will be joining hundreds of others, and this is
• 22:34
  Speaker 13: to celebrate her life, happening at Viaduct Events Center from
• 22:37
  Speaker 13: two pm now. Dame Jills, as we know, she was
• 22:40
  Speaker 13: best known for her comedic and musical performances with his
• 22:43
  Speaker 13: sister Linda. She died last month at the age of
• 22:45
  Speaker 13: sixty eight, twenty two years after being first diagnosed with
• 22:48
  Speaker 13: breast cancer. So today will be that celebration of life,
• 22:52
  Speaker 13: her life, and apparently they're probably expecting about sixteen hundred there.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: Wow, wow, And I loved it when she said I
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: didn't battle cancer. I didn't fit answer. I lived with
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: cancer and yes you did twenty two years amazing. How's
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: Hawkin's weather?
• 23:04
  Speaker 13: Few light, early morning showers andrew possibly foggy today clearing
• 23:09
  Speaker 13: No define sixteen is a high here in.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Auckland, Thank you so much. It is eighteen minutes to
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: six old. There we go. And I'm an Orcander who
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: loves Wellington, love to the Hurricanes, and I love the name
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: cakeson not an insult at all. Now, well, I've got
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: a lot a bit of time here. I've got to
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: say something about Shane Jones, because you either love or
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: hate the man. He's got a colorful style. Considered either
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: engaging or wildly pompousible and narcissistic. You either think he's
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: telling it like it is or you wonder what's all
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: this tongue flapping about. He likes being called Martua, which
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: means uncle a Maori, which you can think is warm
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: and homely and friendly and family, or you could think
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: is paternalistic and condescending. And there is no doubt that
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: the man thinks very highly of himself. The self titled
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: Prince of the Provinces likes a limo when he's overseas,
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: we have found out, and he likes it to be
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: there and running for twenty four hours. So when asked
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: about it, he tried to do it Erica Stanford and
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: throw his staff under the they ordered it. But the
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: difference is Erica was stopping the wasteful government spending, whereas
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: the Martur seems to love it, and he didn't stop
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: it while the limo ran for twenty four hours.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: And he has.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Lauded it over us with firstly the Provincial Growth Fund
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: and now the Regional Infrastructure Fund. And to me, and
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: I've said this a lot, Shane Jones has shown himself
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: to have no real regard for taxpayers. Money and that
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: is part of the problem. He regularly ascribes to labor.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: But other than that, he's a nice bloke. It is
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: seventeen to six and we're off to Europe next with
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Vincent mcavenni the big oil refinery blast just outside of Moscow,
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: and also the mcafield by election, which is happening as
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: we speak.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: International correspondence with ends and Eye Insurance, Peace of mind
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: for New Zealand business.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Who to Europe. We go with the time of fourteen
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: minutes of six and Vincent Macaveni, good morning to you.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: Good morning, So Mcafield the by election is underway. A
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: poor old kyo Starmer. He has to support Andy Burnham,
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: but he has to fear him too.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right. And all the polling so far before
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: the election shows that Andy Burnham should win overnight. And
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: then it feels like we're off to the races because
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: Wes Streeting, who resigned as Health Secretary, has basically said
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: to kiss Starmer in the past week. There needs to
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: be no waiting around. We need all the time possible
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: for the next general election. There needs to be a
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: leadership race as soon as possible, so we will see
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: what Andy Burnham says when he wins overnight, he'll make
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: a victory speak, but Kistarmer is trying to stay. He
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: wants to day on. Andy Burnham's priority should be now
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: helping the Labor Party keep the Mayor of Manchester position
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: because there'll be an election for that, because we can't
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: hold both positions. But it does seem like this time
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: next week we could be in a leadership base with
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: Kis Starmer on out.
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: But the problem is, of course Andy Burnham's even meet
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: further lift and is he really the answer to the
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: problems that the UK has been facing for some considerable
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: time now?
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean Andy burn is someone who has a
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: lot of experience in politics and the thinking that some
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: people have is that he'll know better how to make
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: decisions quickly. The main chrism Ma Kirstarr has very much
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: been that he's diggered and delayed on decisions. We've felt
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: that as a public and we've seen that from people
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: that have left his cabinet criticizing from that. And it's
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: only when he's forced into making decisions we've seen this week,
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: for instance, with the social media ban, something that people
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: have said that in his government have been trying to
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: get him to do for months, if not years. He
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: sort of just does it as when he's sort of
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: felt like he's cornered. So we'll see. I mean, Andy
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: Burnham is someone who has a lot of experience in politics.
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: People are wanting quite radical change, but the sort of
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: threat to Labor is the Reform Party, and if he
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: shows in this election that he can sort of take
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: the fight to Reform and beat them and seems and
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: potentially beat them convincingly, then Labor I think will feel
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: much better and much more unified behind the decisions that
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: he takes against this sort of increasingly negative tone that
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: Reform are taking to try and stop this sort of
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: new Restore Party which is far right, which is it's
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: seen so far as splitting their vote in Makerfield, but
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: has some quite extreme policies that are way out of
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: a way out of bounds for a lot of British voters,
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: sort of forced you know, they're talking about remigration, which
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: is essentially ethnic cleansing and forced migration of people who
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: essentially not wid All right.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: Weceived here some problem with the line, but I thank
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: you so much for your turn today, Vincent mcavinie, and
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: this is news TALKB and we were going to talk
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: briefly about Moscow being hit by the largest Ukrainian drone
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: strikes since the war began. I don't know if you've
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: seen it. I'm seeing it on my TV. It's all
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: around me right now. It's been played over and over again.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: The Ukraine drones go into the oil refinery in Moscow
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: and blow at sky high, and then the roof on
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: one of the tankers just lifts off like a giant
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: flying saucer. It's so like a cinema shot. It's so perfect.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: You think that's got to be AI. But no, that's real.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: But that is all a very real strike by Ukraine
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: on Russia, which must hasten some sort of piece, you'd think.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: But that's all up to putin. It's eleven to six.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: So we had the GDP figures out and the first
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: three months of the year came in at a decent
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: point eight percent, showing an economic recovery was getting under way.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: We'll wait to see what the impact of the war
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: has been on the next figures. Manufacturing, though, manufacturing let
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: the charge up three point two percent month on month
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: and five point six percent year on year, but the
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: employers and Manufacturers Association say it's no time right now
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: to celebrate.
• 28:41
  Speaker 14: The manufacturing index had seven months of positive which sort
• 28:45
  Speaker 14: of came to an end around May. We were going
• 28:47
  Speaker 14: through a good patch until mister Trump put the brakes
• 28:50
  Speaker 14: on everything exactly right.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: So joining us right now is Cameron Brewer, who is
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: the Minister for Small Business and Manufacturing.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: Hello Cameron, good morning Andrew.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: So what are the numbers show you will?
• 29:00
  Speaker 15: The numbers tell us that at the start of the
• 29:02
  Speaker 15: year the economy was recovering strongly and manufacturing was leading
• 29:09
  Speaker 15: the charge. So it was a really good start to
• 29:11
  Speaker 15: the year.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: My question for you, Cameron is why manufacturing. Everybody else
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: is sitting down there in the point seven's and the
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: point eighth But there here we got a three point
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: two and a five point six. What's happening in manufacturing?
• 29:24
  Speaker 15: Oh, manufacturing. We're seeing a bit of a renaissance in
• 29:27
  Speaker 15: New Zealand. And as I go up and down the country,
• 29:31
  Speaker 15: you know things are still going pretty well in many
• 29:33
  Speaker 15: cases as far as forward orders go, and overall medium
• 29:37
  Speaker 15: to long term confidence, manufacturing is doing pretty well. And
• 29:41
  Speaker 15: I would say it's got a government that supports it,
• 29:45
  Speaker 15: and it's got a sector that's it pins its ears
• 29:48
  Speaker 15: back and is looking to you know, it's in line
• 29:52
  Speaker 15: with our aspirations of growing GDP, of our growth agender
• 29:55
  Speaker 15: and doubling our export receipts.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Well for so long though we did not have our
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: ears pinned back. For so long we thought on China's
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: just beating us. The cost of manufacturing is so much lower,
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: and we lay down and accepted defeat. So I'd love
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: to know from manufacturing, what change is it that we
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: actually found products that only we could make and that
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: we could lead in the world staging.
• 30:16
  Speaker 15: Yeah, well exactly that there's you know, you go around
• 30:19
  Speaker 15: in some of this some of these high tech manufacturers
• 30:21
  Speaker 15: and high tech innovators, particularly around manufacturing is extraordinary up
• 30:29
  Speaker 15: and down the country, at the bottom of the South
• 30:30
  Speaker 15: Island to the north of the North Island. It's amazing
• 30:33
  Speaker 15: just how much manufacturing is happening in New Zealand and
• 30:37
  Speaker 15: how much it continues to grow. You know, when you
• 30:40
  Speaker 15: look at it, some as you're saying, Andrew somethink at
• 30:43
  Speaker 15: the barbecue or dinner party that it's a sunset industry.
• 30:46
  Speaker 15: But the reality is manufacturing is eight percent of our GDP.
• 30:50
  Speaker 15: It employs about quarter of a million New Zealanders and
• 30:54
  Speaker 15: it represents about sixty percent of our exports. So a
• 30:57
  Speaker 15: lot of people are still involved in manufacturing. And thank
• 31:00
  Speaker 15: goodness for manufacturing because in that first quarter of this
• 31:03
  Speaker 15: year we saw it leading.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: The chart absolutely and now we've got a peace steal
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: and hopefully times will get better and better and only
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: better and better for manufacturing. Cameron Brewer, the Minister for
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: Small Business and Manufacturing. I thank you for your time today.

  Speaker 3: That Keith's Business Moving News Talks.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: That'd be a little distracted by the cricket during the
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: show because it's quite good at the moment. We scored
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: three ninety one if you're just waking up currently, England's
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: two eighteen for six. The win probability thing is now
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: saying New Zealand sixty one percent. So we're getting on
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: top of it. And we've got that Melio Gay guy
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: out he got fifty three, and we got Joe Route
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: out he got forty six, and we've got Harry Brook
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: out he got twenty four and we've got James Ruout
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: he got twenty four as well. So it appears that
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: we're on top. And we add in the cricket, and
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: we've got this incredible Superfinal which is happening tomorrow. We've
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: got the Wars in christ Church, and there's football World Cup.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: I mean you got to say were blessed with riches,
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: aren't we missed Mike Huskin commornity?
• 32:06
  Speaker 16: And we've got the supercars in Darwin. Oh I forgot
• 32:08
  Speaker 16: about the floor into that. Yeah, I am actually the
• 32:11
  Speaker 16: Are you surprised? Just quickly? So a million people watched
• 32:14
  Speaker 16: the opening game of the football Yes, I thought that
• 32:18
  Speaker 16: would be a million people. A lot of people seem
• 32:19
  Speaker 16: to be way more. You surprised and disappointed at that? No,
• 32:22
  Speaker 16: I think that's is it about right? Well, it was
• 32:24
  Speaker 16: in the middle of the day.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: I would have you ever thought about the productivity that
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: was lost by so many people.
• 32:30
  Speaker 16: So we had old deyong On who said, oh, no,
• 32:32
  Speaker 16: bosses should give people the time off, and I just no.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: What I what I found interesting about it? It was like
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: two point four million people over twenty four hours streamed it,
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: so a lot of people watched it later and that
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: shows the success of streaming, and in fact, the streaming
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: numbers were higher than the terrestrial.
• 32:47
  Speaker 16: That's the part that surprised me because I was talking
• 32:49
  Speaker 16: to somebody else about it, and I swore black and
• 32:52
  Speaker 16: Blue that Freedom Wear TV one would be streaming, which
• 32:54
  Speaker 16: it didn't did not, so I thought that was probably
• 32:57
  Speaker 16: that's the you know, but I suppose to be one
• 32:59
  Speaker 16: of those people who had paid the money and therefore
• 33:01
  Speaker 16: on the streaming. Therefore that's where you would have watched.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: I'm just interested. I was too, so the was and chrast,
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: So what will happen?
• 33:07
  Speaker 16: Will more people watch Egypt? Or have we worked out
• 33:10
  Speaker 16: we're going to lose to Egypt, probably get thrashed by Belgium,
• 33:13
  Speaker 16: that'll be the end of it.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, but no, itward depends. Now watch twenty minutes
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: of it and see how we're tracking, and then hope
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: we'll take over, and then we will dare to dream
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: and then the great days are coming. You'll realize we
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: have been undefeated since nineteen eighty two in a football
• 33:27
