1:05
Speaker 2: A small charge applies at seven after five.
1:09
Speaker 1: The agenda.
1:10
Speaker 2: Well, it's Monday, the seventh of April. Hundreds have been
1:13
Speaker 2: attending a rally in Paris to support far right leader
1:17
Speaker 2: Maureen Lapin, who has been banned from running for office.
1:20
Speaker 2: The pen was found guilty for embezzling European funds to
1:23
Speaker 2: finance her party, which she says she will appeal, and
1:26
Speaker 2: speaking at the rally of the Pin says her conviction
1:29
Speaker 2: was political and she will not give up.
1:32
Speaker 3: We share a horror for bias, an injustice. Very difficult
1:42
Speaker 3: for you, the people of France, who every day have
1:46
Speaker 3: to face district god, to face the social, physical insecurity,
1:53
Speaker 3: to face mistreatment in your own country, a denial of
1:56
Speaker 3: your own culture and identity.
2:00
Speaker 2: In the United States now, where protests again President Trump's
2:02
Speaker 2: policies have been underway. In Washington it's called hands off.
2:06
Speaker 2: In a social media post, Trump urged the US to
2:09
Speaker 2: hang tough after the market turmoil. US's National Economic Council
2:14
Speaker 2: Director Kevin Hassett says more than fifty countries have contacted
2:17
Speaker 2: Trump to try to negotiate. Meanwhile, Elil Musk has been
2:21
Speaker 2: talking in Italy and he has suggested a zero tariff
2:25
Speaker 2: situation with the EU.
2:27
Speaker 4: I'm hopeful, for example, the tariffs that at the end
2:29
Speaker 4: of the day, I hope it has agreed that both
2:33
Speaker 4: Europe and the United States should move ideally in my view,
2:37
Speaker 4: to a zero tariff situation, effectively creating a free trade
2:40
Speaker 4: zone between Europe and North America.
2:44
Speaker 2: And finally, Francis has made his first public appearance at
2:47
Speaker 2: Saint Peter's Square in the Vatican after his discharge from hospital.
2:51
Speaker 2: He spent five weeks in there. The eighty eight year
2:54
Speaker 2: old was discharged from hospital in Rome after facing treatment
2:58
Speaker 2: for double pneumonia on the twenty third of Man.
3:00
Speaker 5: He took everybody by surprise today because when he was
3:03
Speaker 5: discharged from the hospital two weeks ago exactly the doctors
3:09
Speaker 5: prescribed that he have at least two months of a
3:13
Speaker 5: protected convalescence and without meeting big crowds. And here he
3:21
Speaker 5: was today absolutely contradicting that instruction from the doctors.
3:26
Speaker 2: You can't keep the pope down. It is ten out five.
3:29
Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth
3:31
Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Andrew Dickens and one roof Make
3:35
Speaker 1: Your Property Search Simple, news talk zippy.
3:38
Speaker 2: Hey, goodboding to you, Thank you so much for joining us.
3:40
Speaker 6: Now.
3:40
Speaker 2: Last week, the headline on my editorial when it was
3:43
Speaker 2: posted on social media was the era of globalization is dead.
3:49
Speaker 2: That was after the launching of the Tower War. Now
3:52
Speaker 2: there's got a lot of people excited. People who have
3:54
Speaker 2: never liked global free trade, people who have hated the
3:57
Speaker 2: World Economic Forum. Some were saying that I never thought
4:00
Speaker 2: they'd see a headline like that from Newstools MB and
4:03
Speaker 2: they were deliriously happy. But if they read all my piece,
4:07
Speaker 2: they realize I'm not cheering the new era. The era
4:09
Speaker 2: of the blocks is what I call it. I understand
4:13
Speaker 2: the hatred of many of globalization. It's killed local manufacturing
4:18
Speaker 2: and jobs if another country can do it cheaper, and
4:21
Speaker 2: other countries do it cheaper by mistreating their own workers.
4:25
Speaker 2: But that's life, and no money comes into an economy
4:29
Speaker 2: and makes the country richer if you don't sell stuff
4:33
Speaker 2: to other economies. So you can rail against globalization if
4:37
Speaker 2: your economy can be entirely self sustaining, and maybe Americas can,
4:43
Speaker 2: but I don't think so. Ford became Ford not by
4:47
Speaker 2: selling cars to just America, but by selling cars to
4:50
Speaker 2: the world. And New Zealand knows this well. If globalization ended,
4:55
Speaker 2: we'd be left with a market of just five point
4:57
Speaker 2: five million, and we'd be paupers. We are who we
5:01
Speaker 2: are because from day one we sold the world our food.
5:05
Speaker 2: We are the original og globalizers. And any New Zealander
5:09
Speaker 2: who hates globalization, I know there's a lot of you
5:12
Speaker 2: out there. Any New Zealander who hates globalization wants New
5:16
Speaker 2: Zealand to be an impoverished third world South Seas island
5:19
Speaker 2: trading owly with ourselves. And if you hate globalization, maybe
5:24
Speaker 2: you need to have a good hard look at the mirror,
5:26
Speaker 2: and maybe you need to have a good long chat
5:29
Speaker 2: with a farmer.
5:30
Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens.
5:31
Speaker 2: Now, this week's headlines was all about subdivisions and their pitfalls,
5:34
Speaker 2: and the big one was about Milford and the Wairau
5:37
Speaker 2: Valley which is in Auckland. Now, these were the suburbs
5:40
Speaker 2: and industrial zones that were flooded the most in the
5:42
Speaker 2: Anniversary cyclone two years ago. Two people died, one hundred
5:46
Speaker 2: and thirty one houses were left uninhabitable, and to prevent
5:49
Speaker 2: it happening again. The Council's waste and the council's wastewater
5:53
Speaker 2: managers they called Healthy Waters, came up with a plan
5:56
Speaker 2: that would turn half the Takaputa Golf Club into a
5:58
Speaker 2: wetland to hold five hundred and fifty million liters of floodwater.
6:03
Speaker 2: Problem is it turns half the golf club into a lake,
6:06
Speaker 2: a public course that attracts two hundred thousand rounds a year.
6:10
Speaker 2: The golfers obviously were absolutely aghast there's being petitioned. Meanwhile,
6:15
Speaker 2: the suburban dwellers are adamant that something has to happen.
6:18
Speaker 2: They live in a very floodable suburb of floods that
6:21
Speaker 2: kill people. The golfers have now come up with a
6:24
Speaker 2: different plan. They reckon it prevents the course being lost
6:26
Speaker 2: under water, and so the debate rages on. Maybe we'll
6:29
Speaker 2: have a happy ending. But my question from this whole
6:32
Speaker 2: thing is how come this work wasn't done in the
6:34
Speaker 2: first place. When Milford was developed as a suburb, it
6:38
Speaker 2: used to be a marshy valley floor it got converted
6:41
Speaker 2: into a suburb. It took a rain event to show
6:44
Speaker 2: us just how dumb that was. And this would be
6:49
Speaker 2: the worry about the relaxation of resource management rules and
6:52
Speaker 2: the rise of fast tracking. We got it all wrong
6:55
Speaker 2: once when the old walls were in and who's to
6:57
Speaker 2: say it's not going to happen again. While we had
7:00
Speaker 2: another story, our new subdivision north of Auckland is in
7:02
Speaker 2: the fast track process. But the original submission was for
7:05
Speaker 2: two hundred and one houses. All of a sudden, it's
7:08
Speaker 2: now for four hundred and fifty. Locals are worrying that's
7:11
Speaker 2: too much. They're worrying about the corners that have been cut,
7:14
Speaker 2: and they're worried about what it all means. Now, fast
7:16
Speaker 2: track does not mean cheap track. It doesn't mean you
7:20
Speaker 2: get a go pass go card. If you get it wrong,
7:25
Speaker 2: then the legal work will cripple you. You'll be appealed to
7:28
Speaker 2: the High Court and maybe even to the Supreme And
7:31
Speaker 2: all developers really have to realize that your work has
7:35
Speaker 2: to work, and it has to work long term. If
7:37
Speaker 2: you're building a suburb, it cannot flood. Five fourteen. Right,
7:42
Speaker 2: we're to quarter two of the government and you know
7:45
Speaker 2: that they like action plans and they like to tell
7:48
Speaker 2: us what their action plan is. So for quarter two
7:50
Speaker 2: they want to get stuck into the universities and they
7:53
Speaker 2: want to introduce legislation to require freedom of expression. They
7:58
Speaker 2: reckon there's far too much censorship universities, is there. We'll
8:02
Speaker 2: talk to a former university dean about whether there is
8:06
Speaker 2: bias at our universities and whether the new legislation will help.
8:10
Speaker 2: And that is next on News Talks abb.
8:13
Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines. On early edition Andrew Dickens
8:17
Speaker 1: and One Room, Make Your Property Search Simple.
8:20
Speaker 2: News Talks edb Well seventeen after five on a Monday
8:23
Speaker 2: morning at Armandrew Dickens and the government wants to shake
8:26
Speaker 2: up free speech laws in universities. Today's to day, it
8:29
Speaker 2: releases its quarter II action plan and one of their
8:32
Speaker 2: focuses includes introducing legislation to require freedom of expression in
8:36
Speaker 2: our unis And now former Victoria University dean and now
8:40
Speaker 2: New Zealand Initiative Research fellow doctor Michael Johnson is with
8:44
Speaker 2: us and he joins me. Now, good morning to Michael.
8:47
Speaker 7: Oh, good morning. I should point out I was an
8:49
Speaker 7: associate dean, not a dean.
8:51
Speaker 2: Oh, Okay, that's very important. Is this necessary?
8:57
Speaker 7: I believe it is. And the New Zealand Initiative for
9:00
Speaker 7: our work also does our research fellow James Kirsted published
9:05
Speaker 7: a report last year that showed that high proportions of
9:09
Speaker 7: academics and students feel intimidated to talk about certain topics
9:14
Speaker 7: in the university and including things like the Treaty of
9:17
Speaker 7: White Hongey and sex and gender issues surrounding that. So
9:23
Speaker 7: a range of issues academics and students are feeling worried
9:28
Speaker 7: about talking about, and we do need to beef up
9:31
Speaker 7: protections for their ability to do so.
9:33
Speaker 2: So I thought this was about freedom of speech, but
9:35
Speaker 2: not the freedom to talk about treaty issues or gender issues.
9:40
Speaker 7: Well, freedom of speech encompasses the ability to talk about
9:44
Speaker 7: all kinds of things, and academics and students have to
9:49
Speaker 7: have academic freedom to broach any topic that they want
9:53
Speaker 7: to in the university environment. That's what universities are for.
9:57
Speaker 7: They's supposed to be forums for discussion of all kinds
10:00
Speaker 7: of different ideas.
10:01
Speaker 2: So they can talk about treaty antender.
10:03
Speaker 7: Issues, amongst other things.
10:06
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, is this problem institutional or is it amongst
10:10
Speaker 2: the students or is it ingrained in the faculty?
10:14
Speaker 7: Well, to some extent it's all three. There's evidence that
10:19
Speaker 7: there's huge political bias within the faculty, so they lean
10:24
Speaker 7: massively left. The student population almost certainly does as well.
10:30
Speaker 7: But certainly some of these measures come from the sorry,
10:34
Speaker 7: problems come from the university administration. So the problems in
10:39
Speaker 7: all three of those bodies of people.
10:43
Speaker 2: Okay, sir, in your opinion, what would the law look like?
10:47
Speaker 7: Well, first of all, the universities need to be reminded
10:51
Speaker 7: of their obligation under the Education and Training Act to
10:55
Speaker 7: protect academic freedom on our campuses. And we think that
10:59
Speaker 7: that will only happened if the legislation has a bit
11:02
Speaker 7: of teeth to it. So there needs to be some
11:05
Speaker 7: kind of financial penalty for universities that consistently breach their members,
11:13
Speaker 7: that as students or academics, academic freedom.
11:17
Speaker 2: All right, Michael and I thank you so much for
11:18
Speaker 2: your time. Michael the former Associate dean of Victoria University
11:22
Speaker 2: and New Zealand Initiative Research Bay. It is five twenty
11:26
Speaker 2: Liam Lawson, Mike and I were discussing Lean Lawson earlier.
11:32
Speaker 2: Maybe he's being found out. I'll talk about this with
11:35
Speaker 2: Andrew Orderson in a few moments time.
11:37
Speaker 1: Jim on your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early Edition
11:42
Speaker 1: with Andrew Dickens and one roof to make your property
11:45
Speaker 1: search simple.
11:46
Speaker 7: You talk, said Bee.
11:47
Speaker 2: I've only been here two months. Eventually I'll get it.
11:49
Speaker 2: I'm just keen to get on. I'm a little confused
11:51
Speaker 2: about Michael Johnson. What he said. There is talking about
11:53
Speaker 2: freedom of speech, but was there freedom to speak about
11:56
Speaker 2: issues like treaty and gender issues or is it only
12:00
Speaker 2: him to speak about things that people approve of? But
12:02
Speaker 2: I don't know. What do you think? Ninety two? Ninety
12:04
Speaker 2: two is a number. Andrew Ordison joins, we have though.
12:07
Speaker 2: Greetings Andrew, I watched the Formula one. I'm a big
12:09
Speaker 2: fan and I saw Lawson. He was overtaken by Yuki
12:12
Speaker 2: on the first corner. He couldn't keep up with. Carlos
12:15
Speaker 2: says he finished seventeenth, So No finished twelfth, Hadja in
12:19
Speaker 2: a racing balls finished eighth and Mike and I said,
12:22
Speaker 2: maybe he's being found out now, Yeah.
12:24
Speaker 8: I think it's pretty sobering for I suppose he's the
12:26
Speaker 8: old fans, Wilson fans to see that that year was
12:29
Speaker 8: occurring out there, and maybe he sort of found his
12:33
Speaker 8: place in the strata of win, the one where it
12:35
Speaker 8: stands at the moments.
12:36
Speaker 2: It's plenty seventeenth. Yeah, no, thank you.
12:38
Speaker 8: Well, no, that's he's gonna have to take the reality
12:40
Speaker 8: of it, Isn't he in confident? You know whether he
12:42
Speaker 8: can come back from that and you know, shows true class.
12:46
Speaker 8: I mean he's had I mean coming into this in
12:48
Speaker 8: the previous years or have been such great performances. Perhaps
12:52
Speaker 8: less pressure on him at that particular juncture, and it'll
12:55
Speaker 8: be a test of his medal from here on in.
12:56
Speaker 2: Absolutely Bahrain his next now AUGENDFC. I also watched that
13:00
Speaker 2: they unbeaten run now up to eleven games, which sounds good,
13:04
Speaker 2: but they've only got seven points out of the fifteen
13:07
Speaker 2: on offer over the last of a while. They sort
13:10
Speaker 2: of are in a hole. Well debut season Edrew. I
13:13
Speaker 2: think you take that leaving the table.
13:16
Speaker 8: I'm really impressed with how they've put it together. It's
13:18
Speaker 8: much because of what they've done on the field is
13:20
Speaker 8: what they've done off it. You see black and blue
13:22
Speaker 8: all around the town. The marketing has been outstanding. There's
13:26
Speaker 8: some great packages that they've got together to go to games,
13:28
Speaker 8: such especially for younger children, etc. Involved in the game
13:33
Speaker 8: and embracing the fan base. I think it's been just
13:36
Speaker 8: a copybook start to a ten year old slide. That's
13:42
Speaker 8: slide at the north end. I really want to have
13:44
Speaker 8: a crack on it.
13:46
Speaker 2: It's massive. We could turn down slide. And I love
13:49
Speaker 2: the fact that the traveling fans came all the way
13:51
Speaker 2: from Sydney to come and see this and they were great.
13:53
Speaker 2: But I do not like the fact that there was
13:55
Speaker 2: a little bit of artibargi between the traveling fans and
13:57
Speaker 2: the Auckland fans. That was because I that was that
14:01
Speaker 2: we've got some new fans who think that that's part
14:03
Speaker 2: of the game and it's not.
14:04
Speaker 8: No, no, no, So they've got to stamp that out.
14:07
Speaker 8: And I see they've come out pretty strongly on that
14:09
Speaker 8: Nick Becker et cetera as to where they stand on
14:12
Speaker 8: that sort of stuff.
14:12
Speaker 2: So anyway, if they'd aside.
14:15
Speaker 8: Pretty pretty convincing and what they're doing in Steve Carriker,
14:18
Speaker 8: et cetera, you know, being able to piece together this
14:21
Speaker 8: campaign from scratches is a monumental achievement.
14:24
Speaker 2: Bake Ferns are champions sevens struggling yep, yep.
14:29
Speaker 8: So yeah, Sarah Hereni and the team once again showing
14:33
Speaker 8: their class, this time in Singapore and getting it. Of course,
14:36
Speaker 8: they've got the finale to come next month in Los Angeles,
14:38
Speaker 8: but overall champions once again. And I mean it's gonna
14:42
Speaker 8: be an interesting because a few of the personnel and
14:44
Speaker 8: their head off to fifteens, et cetera, with the World
14:46
Speaker 8: Cup coming up later in the year. But they've stamped
14:49
Speaker 8: their mark again in Singapore.
14:51
Speaker 2: Good stuff. Andrew and Neils just sending a text saying
14:54
Speaker 2: Andrew Yuki also got found out he wasn't in the points,
14:57
Speaker 2: so you know, and Max started again showing his class absolutely.
15:02
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Andrew. It is a five twenty six.
15:04
Speaker 2: Are you ready for Treaty Principles Action Part two? Did
15:07
Speaker 2: you even realize it was coming? I'll tell you that
15:09
Speaker 2: in a.
15:10
Speaker 1: Second the early edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio Power
15:14
Speaker 1: by News.
15:15
Speaker 2: Talks at B News Talks a B. It is five
15:19
Speaker 2: twenty seven. I'm Andrew Dickens. So it looks like the
15:21
Speaker 2: Treaty Principles Actors toast as Christopher Luxon assured it it
15:26
Speaker 2: would be. And much was made over the weekend that
15:29
Speaker 2: ninety percent of the submissions were against it. But you
15:31
Speaker 2: know that means nothing at all if all the opposing
15:34
Speaker 2: submissions were just photocopies of one, which I think a
15:38
Speaker 2: lot of them were. Remember that Maori are organized. Anyone
15:42
Speaker 2: who's seen their multiple hikoys and their awesome organization of
15:45
Speaker 2: the King's Tongue, he should know that you underestimate Malory
15:48
Speaker 2: at your own peril. They got organized and they swamped
15:51
Speaker 2: the Select Committee. But it must also be noted that
15:54
Speaker 2: the Act that that Acts Act was a bit of
15:58
Speaker 2: a simplistic dog in my opinion, much of it already
16:00
Speaker 2: covered by the Bill of Rights. At its heart, it
16:02
Speaker 2: was three sentences designed to overthrow fifty years of legal development.
16:08
Speaker 2: But is the movement against the Treaty Principles dead? No,
16:13
Speaker 2: it is not. New Zealand. First one to have a crack.
16:16
Speaker 2: Winston Peters, being the experienced legislator that he is, wants
16:21
Speaker 2: to amend all the existing Treaty Principles legislation that we
16:25
Speaker 2: already have. If you remember, he went his election campaign
16:28
Speaker 2: on it. And it is a smart way to achieve
16:31
Speaker 2: real change because it's already in the law. You just
16:33
Speaker 2: change the thing. As we approach the changeover between Peters
16:37
Speaker 2: and Seymour of the Deputy PM role, Winston will have
16:40
Speaker 2: the time and the energy to have a crack. So
16:45
Speaker 2: welcome to round two of the Treaty Principle's debate, a
16:49
Speaker 2: round that has much more chance to succeed. Andrew Dickens,
16:53
Speaker 2: five twenty nine. Andrew, it shall be noted that the
16:55
Speaker 2: Associate Dean works for the New Zealand Institute, which is
16:57
Speaker 2: a think tag that there is right. Thank you. Someone
17:01
Speaker 2: else was saying that he uses those two topics as examples,
17:04
Speaker 2: and true enough. But what I want to say is
17:06
Speaker 2: freedom of speech. It's not about what you speak about,
17:10
Speaker 2: it's what you ban. Right now, on the way, I've
17:14
Speaker 2: got some Neil Finn and Dual Leaper for you. And
17:17
Speaker 2: on the way we'll go to America and find out
17:19
Speaker 2: how they've coped after the first weekend of tariffs.
17:22
Speaker 4: Okay, home, Word's today Our fifty five years down the Road.

Speaker 2: You know the song it's don't treat It's over And
17:54
Speaker 2: this is live from due a Leap. It's Friday concert
17:57
Speaker 2: in Auckland, where due Leiper butted Neil Finn up to
17:59
Speaker 2: the day, and he started throwing his guitar and the
18:01
Speaker 2: whole crowd sang along for this good song. What a
18:03
Speaker 2: great choice by a Dua Leaper, and Neo Finn looked
18:07
Speaker 2: as cool as and the night before. A couple of
18:10
Speaker 2: nights beforehand, Julep did Royals by Lord as well, and
18:15
Speaker 2: from all accounts, ju A Leaper was a magnificent concert.
18:18
Speaker 2: Keeping with showbuses us. This is some good news that
18:22
Speaker 2: the box office needed worldwide. The Minecraft movie exploded past
18:26
Speaker 2: even the most optimistic of expectations and made up to
18:29
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty million dollars in America alone in
18:32
Speaker 2: its opening weekend, including a twenty twenty five record of
18:36
Speaker 2: fifty eight million on its opening day. They thought it
18:39
Speaker 2: would make seventeen to eighty million. It made one hundred
18:41
Speaker 2: and fifty million. And the reason I'm mentioning this is
18:44
Speaker 2: because the Minecraft movie was made in New Zealand, fired
18:48
Speaker 2: on by Jason Momoa, who's a big fan. He wants
18:50
Speaker 2: to bring heaps of work here, thank you so much. Jason.
18:53
Speaker 2: Jack blacks in the film as well. So this is
18:55
Speaker 2: a little bit of New Zealand on the movie screens
18:58
Speaker 2: that has gone off. And finally the Liam defenders are
19:01
Speaker 2: back and are here. So one writes, for heaven's sake,
19:04
Speaker 2: you can't be in the points from fourteen on the grids,
19:05
Speaker 2: starting that far behind, you need others to not finish
19:08
Speaker 2: and scoring as a fluke. Come on, take your rose
19:12
Speaker 2: tinted glasses off. You keep passed him on the first corner.
19:16
Speaker 2: For a lot of the race, he ended up following
19:17
Speaker 2: Carlos Saints. Carlos Saints left Liam behind. Carlos Saints passed
19:22
Speaker 2: four cars, Liam passed none. And I think you'll find that.
19:28
Speaker 2: I believe that he's been found out a bit and
19:29
Speaker 2: I wish him only the best of luck. And I
19:31
Speaker 2: know he's a good driver. But so far no, it
19:35
Speaker 2: is a twenty one to six decades around the country.
19:38
Speaker 2: We go call and proc to joys Is from Dunedin. Hello, Callum,
19:41
Speaker 2: morning Andrew. So the infamous Hyde Street party from the
19:44
Speaker 2: Otago University went off without a hitch And are you
19:47
Speaker 2: telling me no wallabies were burnt this time?
19:49
Speaker 9: Apparently not this time, no, but there was concerns after
19:52
Speaker 9: the Saint Patrick Stay Antis that's right where students lead
19:55
Speaker 9: off the fireworks. There were couches burnt and a wallaby
19:59
Speaker 9: carcass thrown on a but not this time. Police were
20:01
Speaker 9: pretty happy with the behavior of the thousands of costume
20:05
Speaker 9: students that packed out the North Dunedin Street Hide Street
20:08
Speaker 9: on Saturday for the annual event. Of course, it's had
20:11
Speaker 9: controversies over time, riots back in the day, most notably
20:14
Speaker 9: in overcrowded Ruth Caveden in twenty twelve, but police monitor
20:18
Speaker 9: the event closely to ensure the safety of all involved.
20:21
Speaker 9: They say there were no incidents of note, no arrests
20:23
Speaker 9: this year, and Saint John's say they had a very
20:26
Speaker 9: light workload. How's your weather good for a start, but
20:29
Speaker 9: showers developed later today possibly heavy. A salist change this
20:33
Speaker 9: evening the high today twenty one to.
20:35
Speaker 2: Christ Here as we go class you are good morning,
20:37
Speaker 2: good morning, and back we go to the ongoing saga
20:39
Speaker 2: that is christ Urge Hospital's car park.
20:42
Speaker 10: Yes, and a possible solution for staff who've been impacted
20:45
Speaker 10: by this lack of car parking for so many years now,
20:49
Speaker 10: Heath get counselor and Merol hopeful Sarah Templeton is suggesting
20:52
Speaker 10: that the five hundred and fifty car parks at the
20:55
Speaker 10: new Partak Yoda Metro Sports Center, which is just a
20:58
Speaker 10: block away be used for hospital workers at least overnight.
21:02
Speaker 10: That facility is due to open later this year, but
21:04
Speaker 10: the car park is currently sitting there. It's ready to
21:07
Speaker 10: go on and it's not being used. She has written
21:09
Speaker 10: to council staff for some advice on her idea, as
21:11
Speaker 10: the center is situated about five hundred meters away from
21:15
Speaker 10: work for these nurses and stuff. Templeton says hospital workers
21:19
Speaker 10: are often concerned about the time they have to walk
21:21
Speaker 10: to their car in the dark. She says her ideas
21:24
Speaker 10: received support from workers so far, one person telling her
21:27
Speaker 10: about a recent health the end zed bulletin that told
21:30
Speaker 10: staff to be more careful when they leave work. How's
21:33
Speaker 10: christ Church's weather today, Well, it's very foggy now but
21:36
Speaker 10: should clear to fine early morning and evening cloud at
21:39
Speaker 10: northwesterlies and a high of twenty four.
21:41
Speaker 2: To Wellington we go, Max Tol, good morning, good morning.
21:44
Speaker 2: Here come the local body elections and Labour still does
21:47
Speaker 2: not have a candidate for the mayor.
21:49
Speaker 11: No, and it's quite almost baffling. Why not the party's
21:53
Speaker 11: Wellington branch just over the weekend announcing three new candidates
21:58
Speaker 11: for council. You've got a claimate chain researcher, an environmental
22:01
Speaker 11: policy advisor that sounds like the same thing, and a
22:05
Speaker 11: Maori trust member for the Maldi Ward. The headline, though,
22:07
Speaker 11: does remain the fact that they can't conjure a candidate
22:10
Speaker 11: good enough to seemingly challenge Tory Faro, despite recent polling
22:15
Speaker 11: shows that she's in an incredibly tenuous position. Justin Lester
22:18
Speaker 11: was looked at seriously to run again. Flur fitz Simon's
22:21
Speaker 11: apparently doesn't want to do it. We do know they
22:24
Speaker 11: desperately do want to enter a candidate. They've gone until
22:27
Speaker 11: August one. Perhaps Phil Goff might fancy have moved down south.
22:32
Speaker 2: And how's Wellington's were there?
22:33
Speaker 11: A few showers mostly fine around the middle of the day,
22:36
Speaker 11: a high of twenty central.
22:37
Speaker 2: And I think you never written man who joins me
22:39
Speaker 2: from Walkanhella and evareetings. So the rubbish and organ's rubbish
22:42
Speaker 2: tracks keeps going up and spoke keeps bursting into fighting.
22:45
Speaker 12: That is correct. So Auckland Council's data release the newswork
22:49
Speaker 12: zee Beach shows that the rubbish track fires costing text
22:52
Speaker 12: payers rate payers about one hundred and forty eight thousand dollars.
22:56
Speaker 12: This was just for last year. So already they've been
22:59
Speaker 12: at least thirteen rubbish truck fires this year, costing up
23:03
Speaker 12: to sixty five thousand dollars and is also costing forty
23:06
Speaker 12: eight thousand per year for the recycling facility. So you
23:09
Speaker 12: know what, Andrew, that's what we've got here. You know,
23:11
Speaker 12: more and more items containing batteries. It's in you know,
23:14
Speaker 12: everyday items like the laptops, phones, toothbrushes and vapes all
23:17
Speaker 12: going up and smoke. Really so also we can tell
23:20
Speaker 12: you that the most recent order of Auckland's coupside refuse
23:23
Speaker 12: bins have revealed seventy one percent of bins containing the
23:26
Speaker 12: electric waste.
23:27
Speaker 2: How's Awkin's weather?
23:28
Speaker 12: Okay, partly cloudy today, We've got a few showers, but
23:31
Speaker 12: it will clear to fine whether by the afternoon. Twenty
23:33
Speaker 12: two is a high.
23:34
Speaker 2: And I thank you Neva read Amano whe there's now
23:35
Speaker 2: eighteen minutes to six text through and this is true.
23:39
Speaker 2: How Bright was the headhunter wanted by police returning to
23:41
Speaker 2: New Zealand for a funeral, arrested at the airport. Thank
23:44
Speaker 2: you Jack for your text is if you missed the
23:45
Speaker 2: story over the weekend, this is a Hiphart guy who
23:49
Speaker 2: runs the drag ring. He lives in Dubai. He lives
23:52
Speaker 2: in Dubai, He drives luxury vehicles, he lives in luxury places.
23:57
Speaker 2: He hangs out with luxury friends. But he had to
24:00
Speaker 2: come home for a tonguey and so he thought I
24:02
Speaker 2: could get away with us, and he flew in and
24:04
Speaker 2: the cops s went, hello, welcome back to New Zealand.
24:06
Speaker 2: Let's go off to the big house. What really concerned
24:09
Speaker 2: me about that was not how done the headhunter guy was,
24:12
Speaker 2: but more how rich the headhunter guy is and how
24:15
Speaker 2: he's been masterminding operations out of Dubai. This meth thing,
24:20
Speaker 2: this out drug problem is huge now to the markets.
24:25
Speaker 2: The only time the United States has seen a two
24:27
Speaker 2: day crash quite like Thursday and Friday was the GFC
24:29
Speaker 2: in two thousand and eight COVID in the eighty seven
24:32
Speaker 2: stop market crash. It was a biggie. The US down
24:35
Speaker 2: ten point five percent over the two days. We are
24:39
Speaker 2: expected to start on the back foot of Monday because
24:41
Speaker 2: of that. However, the New Zealer market last week actually
24:44
Speaker 2: had quite a good week. We were only down point
24:46
Speaker 2: five percent, others down eight to ten percent, So that's
24:49
Speaker 2: the good news. What is happening in America and how
24:51
Speaker 2: are the Americans feeling about it when they see their
24:53
Speaker 2: market down ten point five percent and they see how
24:56
Speaker 2: the rest of the world going. That's not fair. So
24:59
Speaker 2: we'll go to an American correspondent just before six it
25:02
Speaker 2: is now sixteen two six. On news talks, it be
25:06
Speaker 2: international correspondence.
25:08
Speaker 1: On youth talks, it be.
25:10
Speaker 2: Richard Takes to me saying, tell your listeners not to
25:13
Speaker 2: take the Kiwi Saver bellance a good, good advice, Kevin
25:16
Speaker 2: great for the UK abody to you hither Andrew all right,
25:21
Speaker 2: of course we're not chicking our Kiwi savers because of
25:23
Speaker 2: the whole tariff war and now Jaguar and then Ro
25:26
Speaker 2: the heads announced they're just going to pause things for
25:27
Speaker 2: a while and chick out what's going down. Yeah, so the.
25:31
Speaker 13: Prime Minister here saying that they're going to take stock
25:34
Speaker 13: keep an eye on things. But actually time isn't the
25:37
Speaker 13: luxury that car manufacturers in this country can afford, nor
25:40
Speaker 13: the steel industry. Let's start with car manufacturers. Jaguar Landro
25:44
Speaker 13: renouncing it's going to pause all shipments to the US,
25:48
Speaker 13: and that of course is to quote address the new
25:51
Speaker 13: trading terms. Of course, there was a twenty five percent
25:54
Speaker 13: levy on car imports going into America announced by Donald Trump,
25:58
Speaker 13: and the US is the second largest export market for
26:02
Speaker 13: the UK's car industry, said in a twelve month period
26:05
Speaker 13: to be worth roughly sixteen seventeen billion New Zealand dollars
26:11
Speaker 13: a year, so this is, you know, reasonable sized stuff.
26:14
Speaker 13: And the initial wave of tariffs are also going to
26:17
Speaker 13: be followed up with an import tax on auto parts.
26:20
Speaker 13: So it's interesting now to see what different car manufacturers
26:23
Speaker 13: are doing. Jaguar Landrover luxury brand pausing in other words,
26:27
Speaker 13: and not sending any more cars over to America from
26:31
Speaker 13: its Coventry, its Midland s based manufacturing site. Nissan thinking
26:35
Speaker 13: about moving some of its production of US bound vehicles
26:38
Speaker 13: from Japan to America, and the carmaker Stilantis said it's
26:43
Speaker 13: temporarily shutting down its assembly plant in Windsor in Canada.
26:48
Speaker 13: So different responses from the car manufacturing groups. And regarding steel,
26:52
Speaker 13: I'm afraid it looks like British steel is in big
26:55
Speaker 13: trouble here in the UK, and it certainly looks like
26:58
Speaker 13: those extra tariffs are going to make life there very
27:00
Speaker 13: very difficult for it.
27:01
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, a Nissan, I understand has been talking about actually
27:04
Speaker 2: building some manufacturing plants in the United States of America
27:07
Speaker 2: to get round it, so that would actually be Trump's
27:09
Speaker 2: little policy actually working. So let's move to Rome, and
27:14
Speaker 2: the Pope has been a naughty boy, ignoring medical advice.
27:19
Speaker 13: He has because, having spent some weeks in hospital, he
27:22
Speaker 13: was told not to really do anything for several weeks. However,
27:25
Speaker 13: for the first time since he was rushed into hospital
27:28
Speaker 13: in Rome, he has made his first public appearance. He
27:32
Speaker 13: was released from hospital a fortnight ago, and the eighty
27:35
Speaker 13: eight year old, having spent five weeks there, was then
27:38
Speaker 13: told to take several weeks off. However, he appeared in
27:41
Speaker 13: a previously unannounced move, entering s Peter Square in a
27:44
Speaker 13: wheelchair shortly before noon that local time noon and the
27:50
Speaker 13: end of the celebration of a Mass for the Catholic
27:52
Speaker 13: Church's jubilee year. There were applauding crowds. There were many
27:56
Speaker 13: pleased to see him. There were also some who were
27:58
Speaker 13: evidently quite shocked at his appearance. He did look really
28:02
Speaker 13: pretty weak. His voice did sound stronger than when he'd
28:06
Speaker 13: first addressed well wishers outside the hospital. But yeah, plenty
28:10
Speaker 13: of people commenting on his appearance looking pretty gaunt and
28:13
Speaker 13: also with being fed. It looks like oxygen through his
28:17
Speaker 13: nose as well, So trying to keep making sure that
28:20
Speaker 13: he's getting oxygen to his various organs. But nevertheless, as
28:24
Speaker 13: I said, great to see him up and about, but yeah,
28:27
Speaker 13: further concern about his general overall health.
28:29
Speaker 2: He needs the people, and the people need him. And
28:31
Speaker 2: Gavin Gray from the UK, thank you so much. It
28:34
Speaker 2: is ten to.
28:34
Speaker 1: Six Andrew Dickens.
28:37
Speaker 2: The world has been the world has been continuing to
28:39
Speaker 2: react to trump'st tariff's announcements. Over the weekend. The stock
28:42
Speaker 2: market in America was a said spectacle, as I've told you,
28:45
Speaker 2: or really Thursday Friday, the SMP felt ten point five percent. Remarkably,
28:48
Speaker 2: New Zealand did quite well, falling zero point five percent.
28:51
Speaker 2: Experts warned the tariffs could push up prices for consumers.
28:55
Speaker 2: Donald Trump is urging the United States to hang tough
28:58
Speaker 2: because it's not pleasant for them right now. Washington Bureau
29:01
Speaker 2: chief for the Guardian is David Smith, and David Smith
29:04
Speaker 2: joins me now, good morning to you. Laurie took us
29:08
Speaker 2: through the reaction in the United States people are protesting
29:10
Speaker 2: and tell us about hands off.
29:13
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think people are still bewildered and somewhat horrified
29:19
Speaker 6: for the most part by these taffs, and even loyalist
29:22
Speaker 6: to Donald Trump and the Republican Party are struggling to
29:26
Speaker 6: deal with it, and some of them a critical or
29:28
Speaker 6: even floating legislation to curtail pumps power over tariff. Larry Summers,
29:35
Speaker 6: the former Treasury secretary under Bill Clinton, describes this as
29:38
Speaker 6: the greatest self inflicted wound on the American economy in history.
29:43
Speaker 6: And as you mentioned, the stock market, they're six trillion
29:46
Speaker 6: dollars wiped off in just a couple of days last week.
29:51
Speaker 6: And yes, that helped fuel protests that were going to
29:54
Speaker 6: happen already yesterday and Saturday, the hands off protests in
30:00
Speaker 6: New York, Washington, Dickies, all across America, millions of people
30:06
Speaker 6: taking to the streets to demonstrate against Donald Trump and
30:10
Speaker 6: Elon Musk and all they've done so far, and the
30:14
Speaker 6: process seemed peaceful, determined. I think there's a general feeling
30:20
Speaker 6: or at least a hope that you know, this was
30:22
Speaker 6: the week when the resistance to Trump really started to
30:26
Speaker 6: wake up after weeks of being somewhat somewhat mused.
30:31
Speaker 2: But here's the thing. Donald Trump campaigned on this. Donald
30:34
Speaker 2: Trump got a popular mandate to do this, and so
30:37
Speaker 2: Donald Trump went and did this, so they can't be surprised.
30:41
Speaker 2: And Donald Trump said it all along. It's going to
30:43
Speaker 2: be tough, and he once again has repeated that, urging
30:46
Speaker 2: people to hang tough. So is there any faith that
30:50
Speaker 2: the markets will change and that this will work eventually?
30:55
Speaker 6: Well, it's only true. Trump did say on the campaign
30:58
Speaker 6: trail he would impose tariff, and I think maybe even
31:01
Speaker 6: some of his own supporters wonders if it was one
31:04
Speaker 6: of those moments where Trump says one thing to sound
31:07
Speaker 6: tough but doesn't actually follow through. And I'm sure many
31:09
Speaker 6: Republicans were hoping that. But this is a promise he
31:13
Speaker 6: has kept. And you know, today on the Sunday morning
31:20
Speaker 6: TV shows, which always a big part of the political diet,
31:24
Speaker 6: You've heard contradictory messages from Trump's cabinet members where this
31:29
Speaker 6: is going, some saying he's absolutely determined to stick with
31:34
Speaker 6: it come what may. It's a real core belief of
31:37
Speaker 6: Donald Trump, going back to the eighties, that America is
31:39
Speaker 6: being ripped off and that tarifs are the solution, but
31:42
Speaker 6: other cabinet members suggesting perhaps they're useful leverage, they're a
31:46
Speaker 6: bargaining tool. In the coming weeks, there'll be lots of
31:49
Speaker 6: foreign leaders calling to maybe negotiate side deals and give
31:54
Speaker 6: Trump some room to back away from these tariffs. And
31:58
Speaker 6: what we don't know is whether the decline of the
32:01
Speaker 6: stock market will force his hand. In the past, seems
32:06
Speaker 6: to care a lot about the stock market. Maybe it will,
32:09
Speaker 6: maybe it will get through to him eventually. But you
32:12
Speaker 6: still a great deal of uncertainty here about where this
32:16
Speaker 6: is going. And I think you know, all eyes again
32:18
Speaker 6: will be on the market this this coming week to
32:20
Speaker 6: see this there's nose dives continues and becomes something like
32:24
Speaker 6: a crash or a recession.
32:26
Speaker 2: Chod stuff. David Smiths from the Washington Bureau of The Guardian.
32:31
Speaker 2: He campaigned on it, You've voted for it. You got it.
32:35
Speaker 2: Surprise not six to six.
32:39
Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens on early edition with one roof to make
32:43
Speaker 1: your property search simple, youth dog zibby.
32:46
Speaker 2: My costin Good morning to you. I see you had
32:48
Speaker 2: a dying baby red at your place and your advice
32:50
Speaker 2: was to hit it with a gun boot and I
32:52
Speaker 2: thought the beck of a spade was actually the except
32:54
Speaker 2: could have been the spide.
32:55
Speaker 14: Difficulty with the Spide. For people who haven't followed this,
32:58
Speaker 14: this was on my wife's social media. Apparently it was
33:00
Speaker 14: a thing.
33:01
Speaker 2: Yes, it was.
33:03
Speaker 14: Is the spades quite the distance from the scene of
33:07
Speaker 14: the crime, it's a little wings so it was a
33:10
Speaker 14: good tenant walk to go get the spade.
33:12
Speaker 6: I did.
33:12
Speaker 2: I did go.
33:13
Speaker 14: I did go get a spade, but then I brought
33:17
Speaker 14: the spade back, but the mouse slash rat had gone,
33:20
Speaker 14: so we left the spade out until we couldn't find it.
33:22
Speaker 14: Then I had to walk ten minutes back to put
33:23
Speaker 14: the spade away. So anyway, Scott's our man country. He is, indeed,
33:28
Speaker 14: and he's he's there today.
33:30
Speaker 2: And that's why that's why their baby rat was dying,
33:32
Speaker 2: because he'd already killed it. I think, so there's no
33:34
Speaker 2: problem there.
33:34
Speaker 14: That's what I kept saying. I said, the thing's a dying,
33:36
Speaker 14: don't don't worry. Don't make you anyway. Chris Luxon in
