• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and are the Supercenter
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: explore r these accessories and servicing more than one news.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Talks ABN nine two is the number six Flick me
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: one this morning, eight minutes after five David Seymour, it's
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: anyone else a little bit annoyed by David Seymour at
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: the moment or have you been annoyed with him since
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: the election. I'm just feeling a little bit brassed off
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: at David Seymour. This is supposed to be a libertarian party,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: low taxes, small gut, pretty simple stuff, and he's just
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: not delivering on that front. I mean that is, you
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: cannot argue with that. He's not delivering on those core
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: libertarian principles, which is what people voted him in for.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Coalition spending more than Grant Robertson did em debts still
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: climbing seventy five million extra a day, eh. The Treaty
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Bill massive distraction got nowhere.
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: Eh.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: The regulation Ministry more bureaucrats and what have they solved?
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: What problems have they actually solved? And how much has
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: it cost us to solve them?
• 3:27
  Speaker 7: Eh?
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: I'm getting a bit sick of doing the noise, So
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: I'll stop doing the noise. But you get the point.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, we paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: some of these bureaucrats to sit there and find out
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: what's wrong with the economy where the regulations have gone.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Do we need a whole ministry for that? I don't
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: think so. I don't think so. And then yesterday you
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: get the Reglitary Standards Bill and Winston's up and Adam, which,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: if you look at it is exactly what David Seymour
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: would describe as performative politics. If there's not binding, nothing
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: binding about it. And again you're setting up a regulatory
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: standards board. Em one more, and that is those are
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: paid bureaucrats. They are directors on a board telling politicians
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: what to do, and the politicians can turn around and
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: just rip the middle finger. So what's the point in it?
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: What is the point in it? You know, where's where's
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: my flat tax rate? Why haven't we blown up and
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: tire government departments or ministries? Why have they not been
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: abolished yet? What are you doing? It is not the
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: thing that I thought you were going to do. David Seymour,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: eleven after five annoying Doja Cat. Does anyone know Doja Cat?
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: I'll play some music shortly. Mackenzie's just told me because
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: we've had lots of gigs in Auckland over the last
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: couple of weeks, which has been fantastic. There was Metallica,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: we had Lenny Kravitz and Doja Cat is one that
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: young people like, and apparently there's been a lot of
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: complaints about Doja Cat. I'll tell you who she is
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: and why you should care in a second. Lots more
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: to come though. We will also talk about the invidious
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: situation from yesterday and what it means for the stock market.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: And I want to get into the dairy prices because
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: clearly we had another option this week and down down
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: down downtown. Clearly the price is going to have to
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: be revised by Fonterra, in fact began zed yesterday, so
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: we'll look at that too. Up next, Sonya Rockhouse on
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Pike River. Will there be charges soon?
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Bridge and r V Supercenter explore r v's accessories and
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: servicing all in one News Talksbus.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Talksb It is fourteen minutes after five. Ryan, seems like
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: the election cycles already started sooner the previous cycles. I
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: think that is a fair observation, Ryan, I would like
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: to vote for New Zealand first for the first time
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: in my life. I like what I hear, but can
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: I trust them not to go with labor, which is
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: what I don't want. Well, dear listener, thank you for texting.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: I will talk to you about that in about ten
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: minutes time. Another person, Taylor, says, do the noise, go on,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: do the noise. We finished with the noise, Taylor. Fourteen
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: after five Bride, the lawyer's representing the Pike River families,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: think police have enough evidence to lay corporate manslaughter charges
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: fifteen years after the tragedy. Sonya rock House and Anna
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Osborne have called a meeting with Brook van Velden a
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: complete waste of time. They were at Parliament this week.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Sonya rock House sadly lost her son Ben in the
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: tragedy and joins me, Now, Sonya, good morning, good morning, Sonya,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Hi are you hello? Good to have you on the program.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Tell me what do you know about these potential charges, Sonya?
• 6:41
  Speaker 7: Well, they've always had enough evidence. Like before when the
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: charges were first talked about with they had enough evidence
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: way back then, so I don't know. He said a
• 6:58
  Speaker 7: lot about it. Obviously, the police don't talk to us
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: about that stuff. So yeah, we just know that there's
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: been a whole lot of other evidence has been gathered
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: over the years. They did an extensive forensic scope of
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: the drift, spent several months doing that and.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and Sonya, the problem was initially that their work
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Safe was doing an investigation, weren't they They were looking
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: at charges and the police are looking at charges and
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: the police went, oh, well we can't both charge them,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: so you can do it, and then they did a deal.
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: Yes, that's correct. So the police were going to charge,
• 7:44
  Speaker 7: and then WorkSafe said they were going to charge, so
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: the police backed off and then WorkSafe walked away. So
• 7:54
  Speaker 7: nobody did it. So and the reason that they yes, exactly,
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: the reason that they did it was that Peter Whittle's
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: insurance company paid the family is three point four one
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: million in exchange for the charges being dropped. So checkbook justice.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Basically, Sonya, do you know if there's new any new
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: evidence being found or is this all old evidence?
• 8:22
  Speaker 7: I don't know. The police, Like I said, the police
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: haven't talked to us about it, because anything that you
• 8:29
  Speaker 7: know that we don't want to prejudice possible future prosecutions.
• 8:33
  Speaker 7: So I all I know is that over the last
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: few years, up until they that it was settled again,
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: they collected lots and lots of stuff to put forward
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: to Crown, the Crown solicitor. So you know, the police,
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: like us, just have to sit back and wait. Now
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: they've done their job as best as they can do it,
• 9:02
  Speaker 7: and we've done everything that we can and now we
• 9:05
  Speaker 7: just have to sit back and wait for the big decision.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: For the prosecutors. Now, it's been a few years since
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: I've spoken to you, Sonya. How how are you doing?
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Are you ever at peace? I saw you at Parliament
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: the other day. Is this torture? You know? Is this
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: still torture every day for you?
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: No, it's not torture every day. Yesterday was a tough day.
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: Anna and I actually went up to Kate I think
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: it's Kate Shepherd Park in Wellington. Oh, yes, And there's
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: a seat up there that's been dedicated to Helen Kelly.
• 9:42
  Speaker 7: So we sat there just before the three point forty
• 9:45
  Speaker 7: four and then watched it, watch the time, and then
• 9:50
  Speaker 7: just tailed hands and closed our eyes and thought about
• 9:52
  Speaker 7: our men because of course we were away and that
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: felt really strange. But you know, we sort of took
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: solo from the fact that Anna and I were together,
• 10:03
  Speaker 7: which we normally are on the anniversary anyway, but just
• 10:06
  Speaker 7: not up in Wellington, up at Parliament. Yeah. I mean
• 10:12
  Speaker 7: it's been fifteen years. It still hurts every day. You know,
• 10:17
  Speaker 7: I've missed out on fifteen years of my son's life.
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: He was twenty one when he was killed and he
• 10:22
  Speaker 7: would now be thirty six. So yeah, I think it
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: still hurts. Of course it hurts, but you learned, you know,
• 10:31
  Speaker 7: it's just it's just buried there and on days like yesterday,
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: of course it comes out. But we're still very very
• 10:40
  Speaker 7: passionate about, you know, getting true justice and accountability that
• 10:43
  Speaker 7: will never go away. That passion is always there and
• 10:47
  Speaker 7: the pain as well. So the movie's definitely given us
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: a little bit of a lift because you know, we're
• 10:56
  Speaker 7: very proud of it. I don't know whether you've seen
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: it or not.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Have I interviewed the director as well, and one of them, yes, yeah, no,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: great movie, sonya. We have to leave it there. Thank
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: you for coming on, and best of luck with the
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: with the prosecutors. You know, I know your fingers and
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: totally crossed for that. It is nineteen minutes after five.
• 11:18
  Speaker 8: Raham Bridge, Now this is I told you about Doja Cat.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: This is Doja Cat. Doesn'tyone know this song? I've definitely
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: heard it, Kenzy, I've definitely heard it. So she came
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: here along with all the other acts that are doing
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: performing in Auckland at the moment or performing around the country.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: She's cop some flat for her concert at Spark Arena.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: People said, no visuals, poor lighting. She didn't even change outfits,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: you know how they meant to do multiple costume changes
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: and not. She couldn't be bothered and got all this
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: flack and online. Once people started complaining, she said, I
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: want Someone said, hopefully she listens to the criticism, and
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: she replied, I won't and I don't need you. She
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: doesn't care, does she. Twenty after five News Talks be

• 12:21
  Speaker 2: A B five twenty two News Talks' b abs wrap
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: up the year in Cardiff against Wales fourteen am Sunday,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: our time. If you're wanting to watch or you're wanting
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: to listen. The Grand Slam dream obviously is over and
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Robertson's dropping three of his dropped rather three of his
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: last eight tests. Josh conferid Form All Black with me
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: this morning. Morning Josh, good morning. Hell are we oh
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: not too bad? Lots of changes he's made for Cardiff.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: Look, I guess it's maybe he was always going to
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: do that. You know, I had a plan and the
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: idea was that anyone was done and then after that
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: shift the rest of the crew, but also maybe forced
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: his hand with injuries and and maybe the team not
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: performing as well as he wanted it against England. So
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: he's given people opportunities to make a statement at the
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: end of.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: The tour, including Ruben Love, who I see starting at fullback.
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and it's fantastic. It's I mean, look, everybody's been
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: asking the question. You know, he's a great player. We
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: love what he did, what he's done this season, and
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: and and hoping to see him showcase what skill sets
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: he's got. And I mean that's that's the public. So
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: everyone's getting their wish, you know. But at the same time,
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: all Jordan's been fantastic, you know, so we know how
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: good he is. And but you know, it'll be interesting
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: to see the little shuffle around with that respect and
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: and how I think was on the wing that's right,
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: So see how that goes and how they how they gel.
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: I mean, the back three these days should be interchangeable
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: in terms of position. You know, if someone's in doing
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: something or done something that you know that a winger
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: should drop back and fill that that that that role
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: and you know as as as should you teen and
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: so it's the game. Just everybody seems to be more
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: and more adaptable with their role sets, you know, and
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: be able to interchange. And I think that's just the
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: modern games.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Josh, we have thirty seconds left, and I apologize to that,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: but I want to know what did what talking about
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: changes the coaching staff, anything needs to change, Well.
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: It's going to be I mean, Jason Hollan leaves, so
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: there's going to be changes anyway. Look, I don't we
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: do have a tendency to panic, you know, like everything's
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: kind of new for everybody. You know, they're growing, they're
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: doing you know, they're trying to make progressions. We can
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: just you know, clean slate. You know, that's that's what
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: people decide. But my feeling is it's not jumped the guns.
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: Let's see what happens. You know, it's a tough role.
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: It's a new thing to do, and and we're.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Only half way too, We're only halfway. Josh's the other thing.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: So the better the devil, you know, I suppose than
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: the one you don't. Josh Cromfeld form or all Black,
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: appreciate your time. This morning twenty five after five News Talks.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: He'd be the early edition full the show podcast on
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: iHeartRadio How News.
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: Talks a B.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Five twenty seven News Talks, there be Friday morning. Can
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: you trust Winston Peters not to go with Labor next year?
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: That is the question on everybody's lips, And the answer
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: is no, you can't. He hasn't ruled it out. And
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: remember you will remember that he went with Descender in
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: twenty seventeen, even though National's got a high proportion of
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: the vote. Labor has not ruled Winston out. Winston has
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: not ruled Labor out. Winston has ruled Chippy out. So
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: all that means is we could see a leadership swap
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: in the last seven weeks of the campaign, bug of
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: the unions, and even during negotiations. All these things are possible.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Hopkins is a party man, and if the choice was
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: opposition for his caucus or the Treasury benches, he would
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: fall on his sword. So it's a live scenario. Is
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Labor and New Zealand first? If they I should say
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Labor and New Zealand first get enough to form a
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: coalition together, wouldn't Winston prefer that to another threesome on
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: the right. He hates Chippy because of COVID and what
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: is a woman malfunction at that press conference, But the
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: party's been working hard to shake the overly wokey, dopey
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: vibe since then. Also, Winston doesn't like Seymour. And if
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: there was a chance for him to extract big spending policies,
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: some regional funding, you know they love that at New
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Zealand first, manufacturing energy deals, more gold card benefits, whatever
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: it might be I reckon, he would go for it.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: The scenario becomes much less likely if the Greens and
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: whatever might be left of Tapati Mardi needing to prop
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: them up. He hates them much more than he hates
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Seymour and would look stupid going into government with a
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: green handshake and a hongy. The rule with Winston is
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: pretty simple. All options are on the table, and this
• 17:17

  Speaker 2: This is full September. And yeah, a little bit late.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Came in a little bit late, but better late than never,
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: and well above the fifty thousand jobs that economists had predicted.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: And we always look at that Wall Street Journal poll
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: of economists. They had expected fifty thousand, came in one
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: hundred and nineteen. That's all good.
• 18:55

  Speaker 1: Right.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: So, Otago's economy is doing rather well, outpacing the rest
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: of us.
• 19:06
  Speaker 9: That's according to a new report from A and Z,
• 19:08
  Speaker 9: which explores how Otago's New Zealand's most recession resistant region.
• 19:13
  Speaker 9: It's got the lowest rate of unemployment. At the same time,
• 19:16
  Speaker 9: business growth is up forty percent and export values here
• 19:20
  Speaker 9: tripled since two thousand and two, reaching more than three
• 19:23
  Speaker 9: billion dollars now. Business and OG Regional manager Cameron Read
• 19:27
  Speaker 9: says the regions are leading New Zealand's economic recovery, with.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Otago on top.
• 19:31
  Speaker 9: He says, Otago's a diversified region from agriculture to tourism
• 19:35
  Speaker 9: and education, and it's leveraging local strength seeking higher value
• 19:39
  Speaker 9: export opportunities.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Great.
• 19:40
  Speaker 9: How's your weather rain from later this morning? Southerly changed
• 19:44
  Speaker 9: on the way nineteen the high today.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Thank you Claire's and christ Church clear, good morning. What's
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: happening with your hummus?
• 19:51
  Speaker 7: Ah?
• 19:51
  Speaker 10: Yeah, what is happening with our hummers? While food Stuff
• 19:53
  Speaker 10: South Islands certainly not selling it anymore after they were
• 19:56
  Speaker 10: fined thirty nine thousand dollars for selling recalled products. These
• 20:00
  Speaker 10: were the items that were pulled from shelves across the
• 20:03
  Speaker 10: country in February twenty twenty three. That came after a
• 20:06
  Speaker 10: supplier advised that a batch of takini, which is used
• 20:10
  Speaker 10: in hummus, was positive for salmonella. Now, New Zealand Food
• 20:14
  Speaker 10: Safety Deputy Director General Vincent Arbuckle says food stuff down
• 20:18
  Speaker 10: Thailand went on to sell another thirty nine units of
• 20:21
  Speaker 10: the recalled products, while there were no confirmed reports of
• 20:25
  Speaker 10: anyone getting sick. Ar Buckle says it's very important to
• 20:28
  Speaker 10: hold food businesses to account in order to lower the
• 20:31
  Speaker 10: risk for consumers. The company has accepted the penalty which
• 20:35
  Speaker 10: was ordered by the courts. They say they've reviewed processes,
• 20:39
  Speaker 10: systems and increased training since.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: And how mus was the fine?
• 20:44
  Speaker 10: Thirty nine thousand dollars?
• 20:47
  Speaker 11: It was a good one, right.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: No, it wasn't. How's you wear the clear?
• 20:51
  Speaker 10: A hot one for our Friday. We've got to mainly
• 20:54
  Speaker 10: find a Northwesterly's developing and the high will be twenty nine.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Just shut up, Ryan, Okay, just shut up. Thanks CLEAHIMEX.
• 21:01
  Speaker 12: Yeah, don't try don't try that with me, Ryan, Hey,
• 21:06
  Speaker 12: this is good.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Well, is it going to be scraped or just pause?
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: The Golden Mile?
• 21:10
  Speaker 12: Well, it does seem permanently on ice, which is sort
• 21:14
  Speaker 12: of blurring the two. This is the Yeah, the Golden Mile.
• 21:17
  Speaker 12: The very divisive transport plan to remove cars and car
• 21:20
  Speaker 12: parks from the main artery of the central city Lambton
• 21:23
  Speaker 12: Key through to Courtney Place. Businesses hate it, some argue
• 21:27
  Speaker 12: it's necessary to revitalize the CBD. But the new look
• 21:32
  Speaker 12: Council met yesterday for the first time and we're given
• 21:35
  Speaker 12: a new cost estimate for the project and it's about
• 21:37
  Speaker 12: eighty million dollars higher, two hundred and twenty million now.
• 21:40
  Speaker 12: When it started in twenty twenty, it was seventy eight million,
• 21:43
  Speaker 12: So it really has ballooned in a few years. So
• 21:46
  Speaker 12: what do you think happens when bureaucrats get together and
• 21:49
  Speaker 12: something like this comes up. We're going to get another
• 21:51
  Speaker 12: review for up to four hundred thousand dollars, another look
• 21:55
  Speaker 12: at it, another look at the project, the cost benefit, etc.
• 21:58
  Speaker 12: That'll be new debt at our expense. Yeah, why not
• 22:01
  Speaker 12: just shelvet Just do it either way. I think the
• 22:03
  Speaker 12: city's pretty sick of inaction. Courtney Place is a mess.
• 22:06
  Speaker 12: Do we need to take cars off the street, Probably not,
• 22:08
  Speaker 12: but we still need to need to do something otherwise.
• 22:11
  Speaker 12: At the meeting, not much. Racheng got a little bit
• 22:14
  Speaker 12: of grief for his historic pendulous emails, but no issues
• 22:18
  Speaker 12: otherwise with the mayors Andrew Little's appointments.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: A few more pendulous breasts on Courtney Place to get
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: more people down there. I would have thought.
• 22:25
  Speaker 12: There's been enough. Yeah, it has the weather mainly find
• 22:29
  Speaker 12: some strong wind nineteen the heights.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Nice. I need a good morning, good morning. Now you've
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: got a story for us.
• 22:35
  Speaker 11: Yes I have, and I thought I would do this
• 22:37
  Speaker 11: story because we've been talking about this in the newsroup.
• 22:39
  Speaker 11: So this is an international story about a bar in
• 22:43
  Speaker 11: the UK and it has banned annoying solo drinkers from
• 22:48
  Speaker 11: this pub because you know, the guy sees the owner said, look,
• 22:52
  Speaker 11: I think they've been doing this for a while, but
• 22:54
  Speaker 11: they're bothering other patrons and these single people they're not
• 22:57
  Speaker 11: allowed to go when they're after nine pm because you know,
• 22:59
  Speaker 11: the leeches.
• 23:01
  Speaker 8: And blah blah.
• 23:01
  Speaker 11: But it's excuses huge uproar because all single people are saying, hey, hey, hey,
• 23:07
  Speaker 11: you're putting us all, you know, under the same category.
• 23:10
  Speaker 11: We're not all like that.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: True, because you could just be single and normal and normal.
• 23:15
  Speaker 11: And just want to have a we drinking poo by yourself.
• 23:17
  Speaker 11: But this is the thing, what we're talking about is
• 23:20
  Speaker 11: that I admire Carrie Wooden because she can go to
• 23:23
  Speaker 11: a cafe restaurant for lunch by herself and just take
• 23:28
  Speaker 11: a book and read the book. And I mean the
• 23:30
  Speaker 11: place is pecked out.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: I do that? Do you sime with movies? I go
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: to movies on my own.
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Absolutely?
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Do you go in?
• 23:36
  Speaker 11: I can't even have a coffee by myself?
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Really, why not?
• 23:38
  Speaker 12: I don't know.
• 23:38
  Speaker 11: I think I need to be with people.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: I feel like, oh butterfly, but you know, yeah, yeah.
• 23:45
  Speaker 11: So it should be encouraged. Oh so you can sit
• 23:46
  Speaker 11: there for like two or three hours by yourself.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, quite easy. The thing about the Pesiti people, we
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: all know the people you're talking about, don't we. You know,
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: when you're at a bar and there's some guy and
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: he's just wasted and he's on his own and he's
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: trying on you, there's a reason that he's on his own. Yeah,
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: I know, no one wants to hang out with him.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: It's right because he's annoying. But I just I think
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: you have to deal with that on a case by
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: case basis. If somebody comes in and there annoying, then
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: you get rid of annoying people rather than all singles.
• 24:12
  Speaker 11: Because imagine if you went in there, if I went
• 24:14
  Speaker 11: and then there, wait, no, you well, and I say,
• 24:16
  Speaker 11: why are you trying to get rid of me?
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 24:17
  Speaker 11: You talk too much?
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Off you go well see that is there is a
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: high chance of helpening. How's the weather okay fine?
• 24:24
  Speaker 11: Apart from morning cloud it's going to be a hot
• 24:27
  Speaker 11: one twenty four too hot to go sitting inside a
• 24:29
  Speaker 11: CAFA by myself.
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: Thanks.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: That's seventeen minutes away from six News Talk, so'd b.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: We're in the UK next. According to six News Talk
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: said B are the dairy auction results we had this
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: week obviously weren't good in terms of prices going the
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: wrong way, down three percent, seven declines in a row
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: from early August taking the accumulative dropped to thirteen percent
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: for the year, but it was leading the charge now.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Of course we'll have some revisions from Fonterra, presumably on
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: their price and payout price, but we had one yesterday
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: from benz there down to nine dollars fifty from teen
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: dollars twenty five. Fontira midpoint currently ten dollars. That'll, as
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: I say, likely come down fourteen to six.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: International correspondence with insin eye insurance peace of mind for
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: New Zealand business.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: The UK has had a COVID inquiry much like the
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: one we're having, though I suspect the results might say
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: the opposite things. This is Boris Johnson's era in joining
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Usmenson mechaviny a UK europe correspondent Vincent What does it say.
• 25:26
  Speaker 13: Well, it's pretty damning. It's the report that's come out
• 25:29
  Speaker 13: today on the behavior of the government just for contacts.
• 25:32
  Speaker 13: Some two hundred and twenty seven thousand people died in
• 25:35
  Speaker 13: the UK during this period of COVID and the report
• 25:38
  Speaker 13: says a toxic and chaotic culture in the UK government
• 25:42
  Speaker 13: affected decision making, adding that then Prime Minister Boris Johnson
• 25:47
  Speaker 13: both failed to tackle and sometimes actively encourage that toxic
• 25:51
  Speaker 13: and chaotic culture. It says that he and his government
• 25:54
  Speaker 13: entirely wasted the month of February, and had they gone
• 25:58
  Speaker 13: for an earlier move, they could have on restrictions some
• 26:03
  Speaker 13: by imposing lockdown earlier. Lockdown wouldn't have had to last
• 26:06
  Speaker 13: for as long, and they believe some twenty three thousand
• 26:09
  Speaker 13: lives would have been saved in that first wave in England.
• 26:12
  Speaker 13: It says that the government's planning was too little, too late,
• 26:16
  Speaker 13: that time was wasted and the lockdown could have been
• 26:20
  Speaker 13: avoided all together if steps such as social distancing isolation
• 26:24
  Speaker 13: had been introduced in February. It's a pretty scathing and
• 26:28
  Speaker 13: damning report. It does say that the vaccine program was
• 26:31
  Speaker 13: a remarkable achievement that's praised the role out of that,
• 26:35
  Speaker 13: but ultimately this is a huge damning indictment of Boris
• 26:39
  Speaker 13: Johnson's legacy as Prime Ministers.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: We've got some Pentagon officials arriving in Kiv talking about
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: a possible deal that in the war, but it looks
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: like it's been written drafted by Poshan himself as very
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: one sided.
• 26:49
  Speaker 13: By the sounds yeah, I mean, it sounds like it
• 26:52
  Speaker 13: could have been facts from the Kremlin. It basically calls
• 26:55
  Speaker 13: for Ukraine, we think, to give up around twenty percent
• 26:58
  Speaker 13: of its territory and a huge demands like downscaling its
• 27:01
  Speaker 13: military and no longer having access to certain weapons. So
• 27:04
  Speaker 13: it is very unclear from this twenty eight point draft
• 27:08
  Speaker 13: plan that it's emerged drafted by Wickoff, the senior Trump
• 27:13
  Speaker 13: aide who is incredibly inexperienced when it comes to international affairs,
• 27:17
  Speaker 13: and his Russian counterpart reportedly in a Miami hotel room
• 27:21
  Speaker 13: earlier this month. The draft, I think is not going
• 27:24
  Speaker 13: to go down well with anyone in Europe, and I
• 27:27
  Speaker 13: think we're going to hear probably from President Dolensky later on,
• 27:30
  Speaker 13: just saying that he cannot sign up to these demands
• 27:32
  Speaker 13: after almost four years of war, the demands of his people,
• 27:37
  Speaker 13: the people who have died in this conflict. This would
• 27:40
  Speaker 13: simply be healing over and bowing to Russia. And I
• 27:42
  Speaker 13: think there will be huge pushback from Europe because if
• 27:45
  Speaker 13: Vladimir Pusin thinks that he can get away with this
• 27:47
  Speaker 13: in Ukraine, we already seen him testing out defenses around
• 27:51
  Speaker 13: the rest of Europe. He's been putting drones up over
• 27:53
  Speaker 13: various airports in Belgium and Denmark. He's got a ship
• 27:57
  Speaker 13: of his Shadow Fleet currently just British waters, we think
• 28:01
  Speaker 13: mapping out under sea infrastructure. So I think Europe is
• 28:04
  Speaker 13: going to say no, we cannot cave like this. It
• 28:06
  Speaker 13: will embolden him.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Appreciate your time, Vincent mcaviniy aw UK Europe correspondent time

  Speaker 2: three items seized, eight hundred and fifty six charges, one
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: hundred and eighty eight convictions, thirty eight thousand fewer victims
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: of serious violent crime. Dennis o'reiley's lifetime Black Power member
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: and community advocate with me this morning, Dennis, Good morning,
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Good morning, sir. Has it been a success.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: Well, I think a reduction in the number of victims
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: is a good thing. Firearms up the street is a
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: good thing. And not too sure about the seige of clothing.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: You can get stuff on Temu if you want. It's
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: behavior that counts. But no, this span has been the
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: pitch bean has been well implemented. Paradoxically, it's by the
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: very same leadership team that's been vilified very much. And
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: you know, mister Basham was the guy that stared that,
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: and I suppose it's under the direction of mister Costa.
• 29:04
  Speaker 7: And Tania Kurra.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: So it must seem like a I know it's the
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: fagship policy for the government, and it must seem a
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: bit like a bit of a turd sandwich. But yes,
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: it has worked.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: You take the sandwich and just leave the turd on
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: the side. How about the what's on the ground like
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: gang members? What is their life like without a patchhorn?
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: Does it do they? Does it change dynamics?
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: Well, in the main, I think most people are quite
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: happy about it, not annoying the public and not annoying
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: each other as much. Now there's a bit of betwixt
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: and between, and I was really hoping that we'd be
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: able to put a lot more effort into Remember this
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: is not only the sort of anniversary of the Patch band,
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: it's also the anniversary of the apology by the government
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: for abuse and state care. And when we talk about
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: gangs in New Zealand, we sort of think about Horry
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: and hemy lurking down at the mall. But we've got
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: real gangs now, We've got cartels bringing in methamphetamine and
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: unprecedented quantities into the country, and we need.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: To sort out what are you What have you been
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: telling the members that you speak to about the Mexicans.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: Well, not just the Mexicans. Well, I'm saying that they
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: will recruit the sons and daughters and grandsons and granddaughters
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: of the of the current gang Farno. They'll promise them
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: the world through North American hyper materialism. But the only
• 30:46

  Speaker 2: It is six minutes away from six. The Russians have
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: been using telegram, which is like a WhatsApp group that
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: you can go on and it's all private, using telegram
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: to go and recruit teenagers inside Ukraine. Ukrainian teenagers get
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: them to go blow stuff up, and they've got Russian
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: handlers who will pay them about three and a half
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars to go blow up a van and they
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: will live stream. It's that the teenager live streams the
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: whole thing happening. The handler then pushes the button remotely
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: as soon as someone gets into the van of a
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: high ranking official whatever it might be, blows them up.
• 31:39

  Speaker 2: Drones?
• 31:55
  Speaker 8: Yes, and mom and dads at home making drones these days.
• 31:59
  Speaker 8: It's like a mass of mom and pop drone makers.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: They want to sell us some of their drones. They've
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: been coming here to try and do some deals. Well
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: we didn't.
• 32:07
  Speaker 8: One of the great stories of the year, I think
• 32:09
  Speaker 8: is that when the Prime Minster went to Britain sometimes
• 32:12
  Speaker 8: during the year I can't remember when, remember that we
• 32:14
  Speaker 8: discovered that there's a Toweronger company, yes, that makes very
• 32:18
  Speaker 8: high tech drones and sells them to the British and stuff.
• 32:20
  Speaker 8: And I mean those are the sort of stories that
• 32:22
  Speaker 8: we don't hear enough of in this country.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: See.
• 32:24
  Speaker 8: I discovered a coffee roasting machine this week, right, and
• 32:27
  Speaker 8: we make it in Dunedin, and we make drones and
• 32:29
  Speaker 8: tower on it and we make coffee roasting machines in Dunedin.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: So we manufacture them here.
• 32:33
  Speaker 8: No we don't, Well, yes we do. And that's the problem.
• 32:35
  Speaker 8: The problem I discovered this week is that we make
• 32:38
  Speaker 8: we make virtually nothing in this country as manufacturers, and
• 32:41
  Speaker 8: yet the stuff we do make is world leading. So
• 32:45
  Speaker 8: that then would lead you to ask the question, would
• 32:47
  Speaker 8: it not if we can make stuff that's world leading,
• 32:50
  Speaker 8: because it's the quantity quality thing, right, So we're never
• 32:52
  Speaker 8: going to do quantity, so we'll do quality. Well, if
• 32:54
  Speaker 8: we can make the very best of something? Why don't
• 32:57
  Speaker 8: we make the very best of more stuff?
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: Well? Good question. I was actually thinking about this yesterday,
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: which is always dangerous. But you know Ai and you
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: know robots. Do we the race to the bottom in
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: terms of labor costs and manufacturing countries like China? Does
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: that matter anymore? Could we build factories here that are robotic?
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: You know? If we have a good coffee machine out
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: of to Needen, can we not scale that up with
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: free labor?
• 33:22
  Speaker 8: These are all good questions, right. I don't know why
• 33:24
  Speaker 8: we're not running the country. It's shown me your show
• 33:26
  Speaker 8: is coming because I feel you're getting better as the
• 33:27
  Speaker 8: show's gone on now and it's just coming to an.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: End, you know, Mike, I got a text about of
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: five point thirty nine texts came in Good Morning Mike,
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: which I'm still on air at this point, so they
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: don't care. They've moved off from you, Like, could you
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: let Ryan know I really enjoyed his quality shows the
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: last two mornings, cheers.
• 33:42
  Speaker 8: That's good will. You're only here for two mornings, weren't
• 33:44
  Speaker 8: you this week?
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: I was doing drive Mike.
• 33:47
  Speaker 8: No, I'm just saying, so both mornings you turned up.
• 33:49
  Speaker 8: Somebody liked it.
