  Speaker 2: surged despite the government making it harder the sponge, So

• 1:01
  Speaker 2: It's seven after five.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: The agenda.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Monday, the seventeenth of March, at least fifty nine people
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: have been killed at more than one hundred and fifty
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: five injured in a nightclub fire in North Macedonia.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: The blaze broke out around two thirty am local time
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: at the Pulse club in Kokani. Fifteen hundred people were
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: attending a concert by d NK. They're a popular hip
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: hop duo in the country, and there's trouble. Arrest warrants
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: have been issued for four people.
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: The police have said that they are going to be
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: interviewing everyone who had anything to do with the organization
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: of the event, and there's already, of course speculation in
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: the local media about whether the nightclub was the correct
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: sort of facility for this kind of event to be held.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Meanwhile, at least thirty four people have died in the
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: United States, including twelve in Missouri alone. The cause deadly tornadoes.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: They tore through several Southeast and states, flipping, cause thlatetning
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: homes and killing people.
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: Everything around it here is really bad. The trailer park
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: up up the street had fatalities. So I mean, we
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: don't have nothing compared to anything like that. I still
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: have a home they don't.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: And in Kansas, at least eight people died after more
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: than fifty five vehicles were involved in a crash. This
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: is due to a dust storm. More than two hundred
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: and fifty thousand homes have been without power across seven states,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: including Michigan, Missouri, and Illinois.
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: Tornadoes are kind of like snakes. Where there's one, there're
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: ten to be many, and in this instance, we had
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: two back to back outbreaks of severe weather. In fact,
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: earlier this week Thursday into Friday, we had one outbreak
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: that brought dozens of tornadoes across Parsville, Mississippi Valley, and
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: then of course today, this Saturday outbreak in the Sunday
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: morning is still ongoing right now with upwards of two
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: dozen tornadoes. So I think by the time all is
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: had and done, between two outbreaks, we'll probably have fifty
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: to seventy five tornadoes.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: And finally home is a little bit closer for the
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: two American astronauts who have been stranded on the International
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Space Station since June, because the rocket with their replacement
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: crew has now successfully docked with the station. Butch Wilmore
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: and Sunny Williams were only due to be on the
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: space station for eight days, but because of technical issues
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: with the experimental spacecraft they arrived on by Boeing, they
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: have been there more than nine months.
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: Houston, thank you for tuning in this early morning.
• 3:26
  Speaker 7: Was a wonderful day.
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: Great to see our friends arrive, so thank you so much.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I cannot tell you the immense joy of our crew
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: when we looked out the window and we saw the
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: space station for the first time. Wow, what a story.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: And the question here is are they miserable or has
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: this been an unexpected life highlight? And the other thing
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: to note is just how long we managed to keep
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: them supplied with food and oxygen to stay alive nine months.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: It's ten after.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Five on your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: with Andrew Dickens and One Roof to make your property
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: search simple if you.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Talks it be so. The investment conference finished on Friday
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: with a general feeling of optimism about New Zealand and
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: its plans. But then again, there is so much work
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: that has not been done, and we have so much
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: work that needs to be done. There's plenty of work.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: The sticking point has always been who's going to pay
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: for it? Now this government's not happy to pay for stuff,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: so much so that they were prepared to risk a
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: deeper recession last year by canceling work that needed to
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: be done. So with their hands firmly locked in their pocket,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: the government is talking outpps. Public private partnerships Now. PPPs
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: aren't a simple and easy thing. To negotiate a contract
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: that satisfies both sides is a very great skill. Steven
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Joyce was quite good at it. And the great unknown
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: is stuff ups and unseen circumstances, and we've seen that
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: with Transmission Gully, which has resulted in long and painful
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: remediation and litigation, which is making it a more expensive
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: project than if we'd done it more eventually in the
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: first place. When you look at PPPs, risk transfer is
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: a big thing. And so if we make our private
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: partner pay for it all all, then they will want
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: no risk, pay for it all, want no risk. That
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: exposes the crown. If the private partner wants quicker profits,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: then quality drops. That's not good. But if they are
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: long term hold, quality increases that is good. But it's
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: a mind reading exercise to see exactly what your private
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: partner is thinking, and often they fall a part. And
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: then there's the simple maths that governments can source capital
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: far cheaper than private entities. And with all that in play,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: you can see why there's only been eight PPP projects
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: in the past fifteen years. They are devilishly difficult to
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: be win win, but this government will have you believe
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: that billions of dollars in the hands of white knights
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: are about to come charging over the horizon and into
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: our economy lickety split. Frankly, if I see two come
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: off inside a decade, I'll be impressed. But if that
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: is all we get, that will still leave an infrastructure
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: deficit that still desperately needs to be wiped out. Andrew Dickens, Now,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: the headline today is a jobless benefit numbers serve, So
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: let's run you through the numbers. There are nearly twenty
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: two thousand more kiwis receiving the job Seeker Benefit than
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: a year ago. That's a jump of almost twelve percent.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: That's the same as adding the town of Aspurton to
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: our beneficiaries. There were more than two hundred and ten
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: thousand people on the job Seeker Benefit in February, eleven
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: point five percent more than in February twenty twenty four
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: of the two hundred and ten thousand, four hundred and
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: fifty six receiving the job seeker benefit last month, one
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: hundred and nineteen thousand odd we're receiving the work Ready payment,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: and ninety thousand or nearly ninety one thousand we're receiving
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: the job seeker which is the Health Condition and Disability payment.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: And slightly better news, a total number of people seeking
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: or receiving job seeker both work Ready and Health Condition
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: and Disability did actually reduce by one point three percent,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: but that doesn't make the headlines. That's compared to January
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. Now, at the same time, the government
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: has ensued this austerity program excuse me, which has rippled
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: out from the public service and government contractors to the
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: wider population, and that's kind of nullified the stricter regime.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: And given the possibility of a flat economy due to
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: global instability, it doesn't seem that the government's grand promises
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: to slash the beneficiaries is going to come true anytime soon.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: The government sold the belief that there were many people
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: raughting the system, so making the system harder to navigate.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: And adding penalties will cut the number of peoples who
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: are just cruising on your money. The question is how
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: many people are in fact bludging and have we overestimated
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: that all along for political rhetoric. Well let's get an answer,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: shall we. We're going to talk to an employment specialist
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: just before six it's now five point fourteen. There's been
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: cause for a national reporting system for bullying in schools
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: and my first question is why haven't we already got one.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Well we'll answer that in just a few moments time
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: with a VPTA president, Chris Abercrombie. This is Newstalk ZBB Andrew.

  Speaker 1: Dickens on Afili edition with one roof Make your Property

  Speaker 1: Search Simple U storg zibby.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Sixteen past five, Good morning to you, joe Anne. Joanne
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: sent me a text. She said, why you're so negative
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: this morning? Andrew, give PPPs a chance and this government
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: a chance to negotiate them before condemning them as a failure.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: I didn't comdemn them as a failure. What I just
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: warned was they're really hard, they're really difficult, and it
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: might not be as I said. The white Knight that
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: suddenly charges over the horizon and fixes all that problems.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: I just thought I was being rational. Now there's been
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: a call for national reporting systems for bullying in schools.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: The Children's the Chief Children's Commissioner wants to see regular
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: publicly reported data made available for all to see, but
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: the Ministry of Education believes it should be left up
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: to the individual schools themselves. That's despite a quarter of
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: the Principles nationally saying they see physical harm or property
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: damage every day. So I'm joined now by the PPTA
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Press and it's Chris Abercrombie. Thank you for getting up
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: for us. Chris, are good, It's all good. Are you
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: in favor of a national reporting system?
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: I'm not necessarily opposed to. The issue is with two
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: and a half thousand south governing schools with two and
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: a half thousand different definitions of bullying, So until we've
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: saw that out, you couldn't have a national database on
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: the issue.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: So if there is to be a national reporting system,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: you want all these schools to actually coordinate the way
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: they do things.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Well, though, we just have to. I mean, I'm sure
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: if we've got ten different people in a room, we
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: have ten different definitions of what bullying is. And so
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: until we get a shared understanding of what it is
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: until we all know then that you couldn't have a
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: national database.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, but if we get it sorted, would a national
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: database actually help?
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: Well, that's the resourcing that came with it. I mean,
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: there's all good measuring a problem, understanding an issue, but
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: then it's the next thing to support it. There is
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: no nationally coordinated or very nationally coordinated programs to support
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: schools to deal with bullying. Like you said, the Ministry
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: believes it's best the schools to deal with it, and
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: we've got two and a half thousand different ways of
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: doing that.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Well, do you believe, because we've got so many different
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: ways of reporting on it, that the bullying is actually
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: being under reported in New Zealand.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: I don't know to say anything about that, but what
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: I do know is that if we do want to
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: seriously deal with this, and here has reported it and
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: Peace has reported it, then we need to really get
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: some national action on this. We do have what's called
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: Positive Behavior for Learning program, but not all schools are
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: part of it, and the funding has been dropping for
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: that for a number of years.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: So you're the president of the PEPTA, would you you
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: could possibly knock heads together and say let's come up
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: with a standardized way of doing this.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Well, I appreciate you think I can do all of that,
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: but we can. I mean, well you all have a
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: discussion about that. It was really really vital. I was
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: believed when I was at school, so I know how
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: devastating it can be for dealing with these kind of issues.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: So any support that we can do to it, and
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: maybe the children's Questions call will kicked out bad idea.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Good stuff, and I thank you Chris abber crumby the
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: PPTA President And this is News Talk zet B. Yeah,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: really tough weekend at Melbourne for Liam Lawson. Interesting people
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: think the race was ruined because of the weather. I
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: think it made it even more exciting. And it was
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: magnificent run at the end to see to see Vistep
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: and charging at Lando Norris who has the best car.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: So we'll talk more about this and of course the
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: magnificent performances by the black Caps and the Warriors in
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: just a few moments time with Andrew Orderson. It's five twenty.

  Speaker 2: B five twenty two Andrew Ordison, good morning to you.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Greeting's Andrew Poor Lilliam Lawson a slow in Q one,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: broke down in Q two and then crashed in the race.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: That's a bad weekend, it is, it is.
• 11:55
  Speaker 8: It's not the ideal start isn't really for Leam Lawson
• 11:58
  Speaker 8: And wow he was getting it together. He's up to thirteenth,
• 12:01
  Speaker 8: they're out of pitt Lane. But yeah, when you're crashing
• 12:04
  Speaker 8: and then it doesn't doesn't bow well we mixed for stuff.
• 12:07
  Speaker 8: I guess for the overall team with the second that's
• 12:10
  Speaker 8: not so some sort of redemption is it that Norris winning?
• 12:14
  Speaker 8: But yeah, I think Lawson Wson work to do what
• 12:17
  Speaker 8: ahead of the Chinese rompre he'd never raced that track
• 12:20
  Speaker 8: before the first time in the car. China next weekend,
• 12:23
  Speaker 8: good luck. But look McLaren is obviously the team to be. Yeah, yeah,
• 12:26
  Speaker 8: it's that. I mean again we saw that the constructors
• 12:29
  Speaker 8: last year, how tight it was and how competitive it is,
• 12:33
  Speaker 8: and it's an element to it.
• 12:35

  Speaker 2: There was beautiful victory. People were saying, like churs, Pakistan

• 13:08
  Speaker 2: on those terrible pictures too in the ACC Champions Trophy,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: and yet we cope better.
• 13:12
  Speaker 8: Well, it's about adapting, is it. And you think about
• 13:14

• 13:41
  Speaker 8: the opening week in Las Vegas, with the loss of
• 13:44
  Speaker 8: the Raiders, things looking grim, but the Warrior is able
• 13:46

  Speaker 1: TIB News Talks b.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: It is Our five twenty seven. So last week is
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: the world puzzled over war and peace and the end
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: of globalization and rules based free trade. New Zealand was
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: wondering about our free lunch program in schools. David Seymour,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: a long term opponent of the idea, was put in
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: charge of it by Prime Minister Christopher Luxan, which may
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: have been an ingenious move politically, but this may rebound
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: in their faces. The act leader reckons he can centralize it.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Well he did and cut costs until each lunch costs
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: three dollars a child. But then the providers had problems,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: none more so than the bell who went bust, and
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: we finished the week bringing in lunches from Australia. But
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: there's more sticking in the town that wasn't covered much.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Longtime listened Matt, good morning to your Matt, and longtime
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: opponent of a whole idea was incensed by part of the
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: story from last week and sent me an email. It
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: was in the story about the Gismond kid who got
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: burnt by his school lunch, But what got met was
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: the revelation that the school orders three hundred and ten
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: lunches each day, but at the moment, one hundred and
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: fifty go untouched by the kids who didn't like the
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: look of the offering. And then the principal breathlessly reported
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: that some have given up on the school lunches and
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: they've started bringing their own meals from home, which is
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: exactly what the parents should have been doing in the
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: first place. And what Matt hated about that is the
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: entitlement of those who took the meals but never needed them.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: And I think it's entirely predictable offered a free meal.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Who says no, except it's not free. You and I
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: pay for it. But some parents will argue, oh, that's
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: us getting our tax back. We paid our taxes, we
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: get a free lunch for Johnny Labor. When they set
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: this up, thought that if one child goes hungry, then
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: all children should be fed, which is I got opened
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: up for exploitation. So how do we fix this? Well,
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: obviously the help should be targeted at the kids who
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: are hungry, and if a kid comes to school hungry
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: and empty handed, then they should be helped. So how
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: do we do that? And I wonder, how about a
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: lunch club where the children who come in without food
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: and are hungry put their hands up and offered a
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: chance to make a meal for themselves if they need it.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: And maybe they could sit there together and make a
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: toasted sandwich. Maybe they could make a marm mite sandwich
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: and make the prime minister happy. Because remember what is
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: that Chinese proverb? Give a man a fish, then he
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: eats for a day. Teach him how to fish and
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: he feeds himself for a lifetime. Let's teach these kids
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: how to make their own lunches. Andrew Dicka is twenty nine.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: One of the great stories, of course, is the astronauts
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: who will be coming home. They went up there for
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: eight days, they've stayed up there for nine months. And
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: would you know it, when the spaceship arrived at the
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: space station, the guy who compiled in the space up
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: from Earth floated into the space station in an alien costume.
• 17:08
  Speaker 9: Laugh.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: We're just about cried. But what a good news story.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Now on the way, we're going to talk to Callen
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Proctor about a great train journey that's coming back. And later, yes,
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: we will talk Ukraine and Sakia. Stamer is moving into
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: operational phase for his military. It's all to come on
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Early edition by'm Andrew Dickens and for Ryan Bridge.
• 17:31
  Speaker 10: This is News Talk MD, the first word on the
• 17:41
  Speaker 10: News of the Day, Early Edition.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: With Andrew Dickens and one roof make your property Surgeon
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: symbol you talk Zippy, I.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Made rescums in for Ryan Bridge. Welcome to you of Monday.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: So the big story today is that the job seecret
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: numbers have surged despite the government moving to cut the
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: beneficiaries over the past year, near the eighteen months of
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: their existence. So the question is why isn't it working
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: so far. Had a text from Hawaiana Hall on Maina.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: She says, you're damned if you do, and you're damned
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: if you don't. New Zealand needs to dig its way
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: out of a hole. But if they try something, it
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: won't work. If they do nothing, they are useless. And
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: that is a fair point. I think the real point
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: here is to figure out exactly how many bludges are there.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: We know it's a flat economy, so there are more
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: people unemployed. The question is how can we cut out
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: the bludges. So we'll talk about this with an employment
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: specialist shortly. I don't know if you've noticed it, but
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: the world and New Zealand is in a bit of
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: a hotspot right now. It doesn't matter why the mercury
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: is just rising. The country's being baked. We walk through
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: my local park, it looks like hay instead of verdant
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: green fields. And we find it reported now that Hamilton
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: is in a heat wave the summer, with fifteen days
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: where the city never dropped below twenty seven degrees. Now,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: remember twenty seven degrees is what many places have. It's
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: just that we aren't used to it, and kind of
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: experts believe this sort of scenario could happen in Hamilton
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: every three and four summers, so this, in the medium
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: term will be the new normal. Many in Hamilton have
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: to say loving it twenty seven degrees is not horrific.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: They are basking in a Mediterranean summer. But experts have
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: worn that the vulnerable are going to have problems going forward,
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: in particular the elderly. So if you are preparing for
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: your golden years in Hamilton, you might want to make
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: sure your house is nice and shady. You might want
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: to make sure it's well ventilated. And when you open
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: all the doors you get a breeze, and you might
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: want to get some mere conditioning in and then just
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: pray we have enough electricity to keep you cool in
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: summer and warm in winter. Twenty two minutes to six.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: We're going around the country right now. Callum Proctor joins
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: us from Duneed and hello Callum.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Morning Andrew.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: The Southern is back.
• 20:01
  Speaker 11: It is, yeah, well just for a limited time only
• 20:03
  Speaker 11: in May. Great Journeys New Zealand, which is KIWI Rail's
• 20:07
  Speaker 11: tourism division, is reviving the popular Southerner route and what
• 20:12
  Speaker 11: promises to be a bit of nostalgia This journey will
• 20:15
  Speaker 11: trace part of the historic rail route between Danita and
• 20:19
  Speaker 11: christ Church for four days from May seventeenth. Back in
• 20:22
  Speaker 11: the day it went or to Way to inv Cargol,
• 20:24
  Speaker 11: but at won't this time. Spokesperson Tracy Goodor says it
• 20:27
  Speaker 11: gives travelers a rare opportunity to immerse themselves in the
• 20:30
  Speaker 11: area's history and heritage. She says this route was once
• 20:33
  Speaker 11: a South Island travels staple before it finished in two
• 20:37
  Speaker 11: thousand and two.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: It is very pretty, but I can tell you callum.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: I'm getting texts out of South and saying it is
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: not this other if it doesn't come to end cargo
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: so that they are not happy. That's a good point.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: How's Dunedin's weather.
• 20:50
  Speaker 11: We've got a strong wind watch here, strong northwest gusts
• 20:53

  Speaker 2: christ Which tell Claire, good morning. Did you have a
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: miracle in Canterbury over the weekend?
• 21:07
  Speaker 12: Well, a near miracle.
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: Look.
• 21:08
  Speaker 12: This is the story of a Salowyn couple who say
• 21:10
  Speaker 12: they feel lucky to be alive after a car plowed
• 21:13
  Speaker 12: through their bedroom while they slept.
• 21:15
  Speaker 9: This was at.
• 21:16
  Speaker 12: Roliston on Shillingford Boulevard at about three point forty on
• 21:19
  Speaker 12: Saturday morning. Llewellen ventor says he woke to a rumble
• 21:23
  Speaker 12: and a bang and then became trapped in a door
• 21:26
  Speaker 12: frame while his wife was stuck. This is crazy under
• 21:29
  Speaker 12: the car wheel, he says. The bedroom curtain is what
• 21:32
  Speaker 12: saved their lives. That stopped some of the debris and
• 21:34
  Speaker 12: shrapnel which was flung across the room. The pair managed
• 21:37
  Speaker 12: to escape somehow without serious injury. They got cuts and
• 21:40
  Speaker 12: bruises during the event. The driver moderately injured.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Didn't the guy in the house lift the car?
• 21:47
  Speaker 12: It's what she says? Yeah that The wife says that
• 21:50
  Speaker 12: the husband pulled the car off her and she just
• 21:52
  Speaker 12: doesn't know how that happened. So amazing in those situations.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: What a man. What's your weather?
• 21:58
  Speaker 12: Fine and gusty here today, northwesterlies developing night this morning.
• 22:02
  Speaker 12: The high thirty degrees.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Max told joins us Now from Wellington, hellm X.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: Good morning.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: So we've got a woman who's defording a trust so
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: she can go gambling yeah.
• 22:11
  Speaker 13: So this was a potdoer based trust, herupu Afinaki Potidoer.
• 22:15
  Speaker 13: It helps the needy children and families. Aisha Warren came
• 22:18
  Speaker 13: on board at twenty nineteen to help with the payroll.
• 22:21
  Speaker 13: She would take on accounting and online banking services and
• 22:25
  Speaker 13: eventually started making fake invoices that led to her stealing
• 22:28
  Speaker 13: over a million bucks over two years, some of which,
• 22:31
  Speaker 13: as you say, yeah, she would waste on online gambling,
• 22:35
  Speaker 13: not an uncommon story in this country. She is forty
• 22:38
  Speaker 13: one now. A few days before her trial was due
• 22:40
  Speaker 13: to start in Wellington, she came clean admitted the charge
• 22:44
  Speaker 13: of obtaining by deception. This trust had been running since
• 22:47
  Speaker 13: the seventies. It was a proven, well oiled machine providing welfare,
• 22:51
  Speaker 13: health education services to the Potidoer community. In her time there,
• 22:56
  Speaker 13: the books lost over a million bucks.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: I e.
• 22:59
  Speaker 13: She almost drove it to the ground. She's been reminded
• 23:01
  Speaker 13: on bail, sentenced in July.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: And I thank you. And how's your weather?
• 23:06
  Speaker 13: Partley? Cloudy, a little bit of drizzle later on, some
• 23:08
  Speaker 13: stronger winds this afternoon, early twenties.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: And never reat a man who joined us from Aukanahalla,
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: and never good morning. So when you caught it. This
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: is where the America's Cup was based. It's a new
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: area of Auckland and people who live and work there
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: getting a bit worried about how much it costs to park.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 23:23
  Speaker 14: So what's happened is that the businesses in Whin you'd quarter,
• 23:26
  Speaker 14: they're concerned about parking charges. So people now they're going
• 23:31
  Speaker 14: to have to pay. This is on Sundays, also on
• 23:34
  Speaker 14: public holidays, bringing it in line with the rest of
• 23:36
  Speaker 14: the CBD. So you'll remember, Andrew, that area was exempted
• 23:40
  Speaker 14: from parking charges and changes. This is while the wind
• 23:44
  Speaker 14: Crossing Bridge, remember that was being repaired, took months and
• 23:46
  Speaker 14: months and you know all those businesses there, they weren't
• 23:49
  Speaker 14: getting that foot traffic. Well now, the conservatory owner, Tricky
• 23:52
  Speaker 14: Hartley says, this is just going to add another barrier
• 23:55
  Speaker 14: to customers wanting to visit. It may stop people going
• 23:58
  Speaker 14: out there or make them. She's you know, the local
• 24:01
  Speaker 14: and steered.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, And that bridge was always supposed to
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: be temporary, that's right. That's what happens when you do
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: things on the cheap.
• 24:07
  Speaker 14: Hou'salkin's weather well cloudy today, isolated afternoon and evening showers
• 24:12
  Speaker 14: still warm. Twenty five is the.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: High and I thank you, and at seventeen minutes to six,
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: and of course the heat wave in Hamilton and the
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: white Kaddo. It's being pointed out in the text of
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: course big farming area. So yes, some people are enjoying
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: the hot weather, but that doesn't bring showers of rain,
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: which is needed for growing grass, for feeding stock, which
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: is the backbund of our economy. So that's the thing
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: I mean. While someone else is Hamilton was hotter in
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: nineteen thirty four, that is true, So this is not
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: a new high. That's misinformation. Never said that. What I
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: said was they're now saying these sorts of summers three
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: and every four. It's hot enough to be a problem.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: It is seventeen minister six terrible, terrible nightclub fire in
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Macedonia and people have been arrested for it. It's the
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: old you know, let's let off some fire weeks inside scenario.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: So we'll cover this. And also UK prison sekir Stammer
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: saying that they are moving to an operational phase in
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: the Ukraine. This is the UK. So Gavin Gray is
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: next from the UK on newstalksb.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: International correspondence with Insigneye Insurance Peace of Mind for New
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Zealand business at the time.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: Right now, it's fourteen to nine on Monday, the seventeenth
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: of match s Patrick's day and off to the UK.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: We go and Gvin Greg, good morning to you either Andrew.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: Terrible fire in the nightclub in North Macedonia, people killed
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: and people arrested for courting it.
• 25:36
  Speaker 7: Yes, that's right, I'm afraid really grim death toll on
• 25:38
  Speaker 7: the rise. It's at least fifty nine people with ages
• 25:42
  Speaker 7: so far between fourteen and twenty four years old in
• 25:46
  Speaker 7: a nightclub, one hundred and fifty five injured, eighteen said
• 25:50
  Speaker 7: to be critical condition with burns. What we believe happened
• 25:53
  Speaker 7: is one thousand, five hundred people packed into and around
• 25:58
  Speaker 7: the Pulse nightclub in a town roughly one hundred kilometers
• 26:01
  Speaker 7: east of the capital of North Macedonia, towards the sort
• 26:05
  Speaker 7: of yeah, towards the border with Bulgaria, and they were
• 26:10
  Speaker 7: there to see a hip hop duo called d NK.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 26:14
  Speaker 7: The problem is it appears that during the concert there
• 26:19
  Speaker 7: was a pyrotechnic device. Sparks from that hit the ceiling,
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: and the ceiling was made of highly flammable material and
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: it just went up incredibly quickly, say our witnesses, and
• 26:30
  Speaker 7: of course there was a stampede for the exit, so
• 26:33
  Speaker 7: it really really awful. We believe the government is set
• 26:36
  Speaker 7: to declare seven days in national mourning and now demand
• 26:39
  Speaker 7: urgent inspections of all nightclubs and restaurants used to host
• 26:42
  Speaker 7: large gatherings. And yes, we do believe that four arrest
• 26:46
  Speaker 7: warrants have been issued and one person so far has
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: been arrested.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: It just reminds me of a story out of America.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: And this is like twenty years ago Ben called Great
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: White were playing. They had pyrotechnics and one hundred people died.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: More than one hundred people died. You just don't do
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: pirate tics indoors, particularly in the smaller venues. But there
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: we go. So apparently the United Kingdom is now into
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: an operational phase in Ukraine.
• 27:08
  Speaker 7: Yes, so there was that phone call, wasn't there a
• 27:11
  Speaker 7: virtual call between hosted by the British Prime Minister, but
• 27:15
  Speaker 7: involving New Zealand, Australia, Canada, members of the Commonwealth, but
• 27:18
  Speaker 7: also nearly two dozen European countries too, with Japan as
• 27:22
  Speaker 7: well apparently set to offer assistance for what's being called
• 27:25
  Speaker 7: the Coalition of the Willing.
• 27:27
  Speaker 9: What do we mean?
• 27:28
  Speaker 7: We mean that if and when there is a cease
• 27:30
  Speaker 7: far between Ukraine and Russia, that the Coalition of the
• 27:36
  Speaker 7: Willing really does think there needs to be some kind
• 27:39
  Speaker 7: of a peacekeeping force on site. America says it's not convinced,
• 27:43
  Speaker 7: but plenty of people who simply do not trust Vladimir
• 27:46
  Speaker 7: Putin to stay out of Ukraine even after that cease far.
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: So we're going to, I think, get more details on Thursday,
• 27:53
  Speaker 7: where due to have a meeting of military leaders to
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: put what are being called strong and robust plans in place. However,
• 28:00
  Speaker 7: I have to be honest Andrew, some of the details
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: on this are really sketchy. It all sounds promising, but
• 28:05
  Speaker 7: until there is actually this agreement, and then until the
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: Coalition has got its act together with exactly what it's
• 28:12
  Speaker 7: going to offer, we won't really know how effective it is.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: Kevin Gray out of the UK, I thank you. Apparently
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: I just said it's fourteen to nine. I had no idea.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: I said that it is now eleven to six.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: International Correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance, Peace of mind
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: for New Zealand business.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: Well, it seems the government's plan to get people off
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: the job seeker benefit hasn't been as successful as they
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: would wish. The statistics show there's been a twelve percent
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: increase in people getting assistance in the past year. That's
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: twenty two thousand more kiwis receiving financial support on the
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: job seeker alone. That's the size of levin. So is
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: this not working? Why is it not working? And could
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: it work? Max Whitehead is an employment relation specialist with
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: the white Head Group and joins me this morning. Good
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: morning to you, Max, Hey, Andrew.
• 28:58
  Speaker 9: Wow, look it's not good these numbers.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: No, the way are the numbers dropping? I mean, they
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: put penalties in place, they put more hoops for people
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: to jump through. Why did it not work?
• 29:09
  Speaker 9: Well, it seems to me that the government has really
• 29:11
  Speaker 9: got an impression that this country's made up of larger businesses.
• 29:15
  Speaker 9: But I may not have said it so often. Ninety
• 29:18
  Speaker 9: seven percent of all the enterprises in New Zealand a
• 29:21
  Speaker 9: small businesses. And that's the problem. And they're small. They
• 29:24
  Speaker 9: don't have a lot of large money for robotics and
• 29:27
  Speaker 9: AI and all these other special things that are really
• 29:30
  Speaker 9: making the world hum At the moment, and so we're
• 29:34
  Speaker 9: at the rock bottom of our productivity in the whole OECD.
• 29:39
  Speaker 9: So what's happening is our companies are inefficiently ineffective and
• 29:44
  Speaker 9: we're still our talent is just leaving in droves and
• 29:49
  Speaker 9: you know, the brain brain as they call it. But
• 29:51
  Speaker 9: it certainly is affecting small business. I know of so
• 29:55
  Speaker 9: many businesses now that are going to shut their door
• 29:58
  Speaker 9: or have done. And even in our family there's three
• 30:03
  Speaker 9: people that we know of who are terrified right now.
• 30:06
  Speaker 9: They are about to lose their jobs and they can't
• 30:08
  Speaker 9: find anything else. It really is affecting the real people
• 30:12
  Speaker 9: of New Zealand.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Okay, so the productivity, the lack of productivity is affecting us.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: But there's also the belief, and you'll hear it on talkback,
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: is that there are so many people enjoying the lifestyle
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: of being on a benefit, supplementing it with cash jobs
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: or unreported side hustles or crime or whatever. The question
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: is how many people are routing us? How many many
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: blodges do we have? Is that number in the tens
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: of thousands or is it a smaller than we might reckon?
• 30:38
  Speaker 9: Well, I believe there might have been a lot of
• 30:40
  Speaker 9: that after COVID because they quite enjoyed the staying at home.
• 30:43
  Speaker 9: But Lark, but I think it's not as bad as
• 30:47
  Speaker 9: it used to be. There are some people out there,
• 30:50
  Speaker 9: but I think those numbers are small. But I think
• 30:53
  Speaker 9: what is more concerning for New Zealand, and I think
• 30:55
  Speaker 9: our productivity shows it is that the talents leaving and drows. Yes,
• 31:00
  Speaker 9: some people are staying home, but I think what we
• 31:02
  Speaker 9: ought to be seeing Andrew that the answer to this
• 31:06
  Speaker 9: is that government should stop. They've done a wonderful job
• 31:08
  Speaker 9: blocking leakage of money out of the system, but look
• 31:12
  Speaker 9: at what they learn need to do is focus on
• 31:14
  Speaker 9: productivity and get incentives in place so the home loans
• 31:18
  Speaker 9: are then redirected into business loans, and also maybe put
• 31:23
  Speaker 9: some assistance in for helping businesses understand better robotics AI
• 31:27
  Speaker 9: get these things are automation going into the workplace is
• 31:31
  Speaker 9: a lot better.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: You know, like.
• 31:33
  Speaker 9: Farmers, for example, all around the world they are using
• 31:37
  Speaker 9: well they don't even drive tractors anymore, they set them
• 31:39
  Speaker 9: on their way and the way they go. There's so
• 31:42
  Speaker 9: much to be that could be done. Get our productivity
• 31:45
  Speaker 9: up into make some more of effective.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: Nation Max, I thank you so much, New storksb And
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: here's the thing. Overall numbers of people on the benefit
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: did actually drop by one point three percent, so it
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: is working, it's only working slowly. And as Max, we've
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: got to get our productivity out. It is our seven
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: to six.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition Andrew Dickens
• 32:10

• 32:14
  Speaker 2: It'd be I'd like to take a wanning to Roy
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: and Roy would like me to mention the fact which
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: has not been mentioned so far, that the Chiefs had
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: a good win. But of course that was Friday, that
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: was years ago, and yes, twenty three, twenty two over
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: the Blues, and that is the top team visits the
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: bottom team and that was a close and that was
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: a rip roaring game, which shows you just how good
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: super rugby is. And Mike Hoskin joins you now Warriors
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: one and the Warriors one they won, they won well.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: I thought Mount Smart magic because we've seen Mount Smart
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: look great for AUCHANDFC. It was just rocking for the
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: Warriors and the boys were on fire.
• 32:43
  Speaker 15: Absolutely brilliant. But you know, are they on fire next week?
• 32:47
  Speaker 15: You know what I found interesting.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: Raymond Travis came out of the show this morning and said, gee,
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: that Melvine Grand Prix was terrible, but you and I went, no,
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: it wasn't, no, no, romand doesn't have a clue what
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: he's talking about. It came down to a fight out
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: between the two. B If you can't.
• 32:59
  Speaker 15: Enjoy what happened in Melbourne yesterday, then that's not your
• 33:02
  Speaker 15: sport now clearly, because that was all there. I mean,
• 33:04
  Speaker 15: you know, the skill required just to stay on the
• 33:06
  Speaker 15: track was exceptional because a lot didn't. And this guy Antonelli,
• 33:10
  Speaker 15: who's this kid at Mercedes that Toto Wolf has been
• 33:14
  Speaker 15: had his eye on for years proved himself to come
• 33:16
  Speaker 15: from the back of the field to well. He finished fourth,
• 33:19
  Speaker 15: but got a penalty so he finished fifth. But I
• 33:21
  Speaker 15: mean that was exceptional. The whole the whole weekend was
• 33:24
  Speaker 15: phenomenal in terms of skill required and what you saw
• 33:27
  Speaker 15: and carnage and unpredictability and you know, getting to Impoor
• 33:30
  Speaker 15: oldly a disaster of a week.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: Q two. His car broke down, then crashed. He broke down.
• 33:35
  Speaker 15: He had a new wing put on, so in the
• 33:38
  Speaker 15: pit lane the car was slow, like the tires were wrong.
• 33:41
  Speaker 15: Tires were wrong. The pit strategy was a problem. So
• 33:43
  Speaker 15: there was a little bit of him in there. I
• 33:45
  Speaker 15: think he wasn't driving car very well and there's a
• 33:47
  Speaker 15: little bit of the car in there. So they got
• 33:48
  Speaker 15: sprint weekend, by the way, in China this weekend, so
• 33:51
  Speaker 15: that means you've got less practice time. You've got to
• 33:53
  Speaker 15: go into a sprint race as well as a Grand Prix.
• 33:55
  Speaker 15: So he's got his work cut out for what do
• 33:57
  Speaker 15: you do today?
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: Well, we'll do that.
