- 0:54Speaker 2: More Epstein emails out overnight. Everybody seems to be believing
- 0:57Speaker 2: this dead pedophile over a sitting president.
- 1:00Speaker 5: Where they have the Attorney General and the director of
- 1:02Speaker 5: the FBI doing something as grossly and appropriate as trying
- 1:06Speaker 5: to larby members of Congress to get their names off
- 1:11Speaker 5: of this discharge petition. It's just if the report's all right,
- 1:15Speaker 5: why is the White House freaking out so much?
- 1:17Speaker 2: This is not the behavior of someone who doesn't have
- 1:20Speaker 2: something to hide. We'll have more on that later on
- 1:22Speaker 2: the program and other emails, Epstein appears to confirm that
- 1:26Speaker 2: Andrew not prints it, just Andrew from the pub was
- 1:29Speaker 2: photographed with Virginia jew Fray. Of course, Andrew still denies

- 1:37Speaker 6: she had her picture taken with Andrew, as many of
- 1:40Speaker 6: my employees have.
- 1:42Speaker 2: Finally this morning, don't go to a fortune teller because
- 1:44Speaker 2: it's a waste of money. And if you want proof
- 1:46Speaker 2: of that. Australia, there's a mother daughter duo there who
- 1:50Speaker 2: are and they're apparently not just fortune tellers but masters
- 1:53Speaker 2: of fun Shwe been charged with scamming nearly seventy million
- 1:58Speaker 2: dollars from von Vietnamese victims. Polease say the mother convinced
- 2:03Speaker 2: people to take out loans by promising a billionaire was
- 2:05Speaker 2: going to come into their future.
- 2:07Speaker 3: The fifty three year old has claimed to be a
- 2:09Speaker 3: fung Shui master and fortune.
- 2:11Speaker 4: Teller who convinced these vulnerable people.

- 2:19Speaker 3: would receive it amount of money, and each time she

- 2:31Speaker 4: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan
- 2:35Speaker 4: Bridge and are the Supercenter, explore r these accessories and
- 2:39Speaker 4: servicing all in one news talks.
- 2:41Speaker 2: That'd be great to have your company on a Friday morning.
- 2:43Speaker 2: Just go on eight minutes after five nine two ninety
- 2:45Speaker 2: two is the numbered text. Now the Regulatory Standards Bill.
- 2:49Speaker 2: This is the big the loudest noise for the weakest
- 2:54Speaker 2: law I think I've ever seen. Why is everybody, Well, no,
- 2:57Speaker 2: that's not even the right question. Everyone and up and
- 3:00Speaker 2: arms about this. It's just a couple of opposition MPs,
- 3:04Speaker 2: and it's some submitters to a select committee who never
- 3:07Speaker 2: really represent properly the public opinion, do they? I think
- 3:11Speaker 2: it was ninety nine percent of submitters were opposed to
- 3:14Speaker 2: this Regulatory Standards Bill. Here's the thing that this is
- 3:17Speaker 2: the reason you shouldn't even care about this bill, and
- 3:20Speaker 2: to be fair, a reason that it's not a serious
- 3:23Speaker 2: bill to begin with. So it's a criticism both of
- 3:25Speaker 2: Seymour but also of the people winging about it. There's
- 3:29Speaker 2: no legal enforcement, there's no legal obligation. This is just
- 3:33Speaker 2: a couple of principles written into law that you must consider.
- 3:37Speaker 2: You don't have to do anything or not do anything
- 3:40Speaker 2: based on this piece of legislation. So why is everyone
- 3:44Speaker 2: so upset about it? Because it's David Seymour's That's why
- 3:47Speaker 2: everyone hates David Seymour. Well, everyone on the left hates
- 3:49Speaker 2: David Seymour and they're like, oh, what's he doing? Okay,
- 3:53Speaker 2: let's rage against that. That's pretty much what's happening. We're
- 3:56Speaker 2: going to talk to Duncan web about this just before
- 3:59Speaker 2: six o'clock this morning. But do not be afraid of
- 4:02Speaker 2: a couple of principles written on a piece of paper
- 4:05Speaker 2: that are not even legally enforceable. Bryan b That's why
- 4:09Speaker 2: most people. Have you been to a barbecue lately and
- 4:11Speaker 2: someone said, oh, I must talk to you about the
- 4:14Speaker 2: regulatory standard? No, no one does that because no one
- 4:17Speaker 2: even knows about it, because it's not important. People are
- 4:21Speaker 2: smart and they know what they need to take their
- 4:23Speaker 2: you know, pay attention to. Anyway we'll talk to them
- 4:25Speaker 2: about they're planning to repel it and all this sort
- 4:27Speaker 2: of stuff. We'll talk to them before six o'clock this morning.
- 4:30Speaker 2: Now over in the UK, we'll talk to Vincent mcavinie
- 4:33Speaker 2: as well. He's on about quarter two over in the UK.
- 4:36Speaker 2: They've got a problem, like many countries around the world do.
- 4:40Speaker 2: They've got a problem, and it's trying to balance your budget, right,
- 4:42Speaker 2: trying to pay down your deficit, trying to get the
- 4:44Speaker 2: books in order. And Rachel Reeves is about to announce
- 4:48Speaker 2: because member yesterday we mentioned they've got their budget in
- 4:50Speaker 2: a couple of weeks time. While she is going to
- 4:53Speaker 2: announce tax increases they reckon of about thirty billion pounds
- 4:57Speaker 2: so seventy billion at New Zealand dollars one percent of GDP,
- 5:02Speaker 2: and taken together with their last round of tax increases,
- 5:06Speaker 2: that would take Britain's taxes the biggest increase in them
- 5:10Speaker 2: since the mid nineteen seventies and would take the tax
- 5:13Speaker 2: take to thirty seven to thirty eight percent of GDP,
- 5:17Speaker 2: highest level ever. Because well, you know the age old problem,
- 5:22Speaker 2: an aging population are lower tax take, a big deficit.
- 5:26Speaker 2: What do you do you either borrow, can't do that,
- 5:28Speaker 2: don't want to freak the markets out, so we tax
- 5:31Speaker 2: a cut spending. No, they don't want to do that
- 5:32Speaker 2: because it's a labor government. So increase in taxes. So
- 5:36Speaker 2: you've got Carnie in Canada, You've got res and Starmer
- 5:39Speaker 2: in the UK. Will you have Hipkins in New Zealand

- 5:59Speaker 4: Answer a sing fall in one News Talk ZB.
- 6:03Speaker 2: Five point fourteen on News Talk ZB, have you ever
- 6:05Speaker 2: heard of a pub choir? It's this new thing taking
- 6:07Speaker 2: the internet by storm. Astra Jorgensen, who was actually born
- 6:11Speaker 2: in New Zealand, thirty four year old former schoolteacher goes
- 6:14Speaker 2: on America's Got Talent, massive audience and puts this video online.
- 6:19Speaker 2: It gets huge views and clicks. People are absolutely loving it.
- 6:23Speaker 2: She gets hundreds of audience members to sing together. They
- 6:27Speaker 2: don't know what's going on until they arrive and this happens.
- 6:51Speaker 2: It's pretty cool. That's a choir that didn't know it
- 6:53Speaker 2: was going to be a choir before they arrived there.
- 6:55Speaker 2: Astra Jorgensen is the Australian vocalist and conductor and joins
- 6:59Speaker 2: me this morning, Good morning.
- 7:00Speaker 7: Good morning, so nice to chat with you. O, nice.
- 7:02Speaker 2: To have you here. That clip is going viral. It's
- 7:06Speaker 2: all over the world. What was it like doing it?
- 7:09Speaker 8: I mean, it's sort of crazy because it happened a
- 7:11Speaker 8: long time ago for me. I did it all the
- 7:14Speaker 8: way back in March in America, and then I had
- 7:17Speaker 8: to hold onto the secret for like six months, and
- 7:20Speaker 8: I couldn't tell a single person, and so I had
- 7:23Speaker 8: this strange experience that I went through, and then suddenly
- 7:28Speaker 8: it popped up on TV and then it exploded online.
- 7:31Speaker 7: Over one hundred million people.
- 7:33Speaker 8: Have watched me at work, I guess, which is wild.
- 7:38Speaker 7: I sort of can't really fathom it.
- 7:40Speaker 8: If I'm being honest, I don't really think about it
- 7:41Speaker 8: that much because it's just too big to know. You
- 7:45Speaker 8: know that a hundred million people or something crazy like
- 7:48Speaker 8: that have seen me do my thing.
- 7:50Speaker 2: There stood Africa's obviously an iconic song people know, are
- 7:53Speaker 2: there's some songs that work, some that don't. Have you
- 7:55Speaker 2: had any flops?
- 7:57Speaker 8: Oh, I mean I've done probably I do a different
- 8:01Speaker 8: song at every show or every tour, So I mean,
- 8:04Speaker 8: I would have done about four hundred shows. So I've
- 8:06Speaker 8: tried a lot of songs. I mean, obviously some some
- 8:09Speaker 8: are better than others. But it's more that I arrange
- 8:14Speaker 8: the song for each audience. And so it's not just
- 8:18Speaker 8: that the song is important for the show, but it's
- 8:22Speaker 8: more that the way that I decide to split up
- 8:25Speaker 8: the notes and write some new harmonies and depending on
- 8:28Speaker 8: how the audience.
- 8:29Speaker 7: Feels like every show is entirely unique.
- 8:32Speaker 8: So for sure some shows are better than others, but
- 8:35Speaker 8: it depends on so many things, how people feel, how
- 8:38Speaker 8: I've done the arrangement, you know. But what's exciting for
- 8:40Speaker 8: me is it's unfolding in front of us all. Like
- 8:44Speaker 8: the point of the show for me is that we
- 8:47Speaker 8: can make art together in real time. And so even
- 8:50Speaker 8: if it even if it's not everyone's favorite song, or
- 8:54Speaker 8: if I give some weird instructions sometimes because I'm figuring
- 8:56Speaker 8: out on stage, it's exciting to me that it's always unique.
- 8:59Speaker 8: I really want people to feel excited about that too,
- 9:03Speaker 8: that we can make something that exists just for us
- 9:05Speaker 8: tonight and it will feel new and good and we
- 9:09Speaker 8: with the creators.
- 9:10Speaker 2: Music's an energy thing, isn't it. It's transferring energy from
- 9:14Speaker 2: one to another. And to have so many people involved
- 9:17Speaker 2: in doing it. I mean you look at the people's
- 9:19Speaker 2: faces and they almost get it. They get a mess
- 9:22Speaker 2: of buzz out of the fact that it is them
- 9:24Speaker 2: doing it.
- 9:25Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean it looks like a great show. I'd
- 9:27Speaker 8: love to attend myself.
- 9:28Speaker 7: But I'm always doing it.
- 9:29Speaker 8: But I mean, like you are for sure right that
- 9:32Speaker 8: it is something really deeply human, Like you can't be
- 9:36Speaker 8: in a choir by yourself.
- 9:38Speaker 7: You have to sing with other people.
- 9:39Speaker 8: You have to work together, and I think it's this
- 9:42Speaker 8: really joyful equalizing experience. Like we've all sung in groups before,
- 9:47Speaker 8: it really hits different, you know, when there's a thousand
- 9:50Speaker 8: voices carrying something together. It's this strange mix between I
- 9:57Speaker 8: am contributing and also I am not that important. And
- 10:00Speaker 8: I think it's like a really nice line to walk
- 10:03Speaker 8: as a person who sings in the choir, to realize
- 10:06Speaker 8: that you are making the choir sound different because your
- 10:09Speaker 8: voice is unique and you are contributing, but just as
- 10:12Speaker 8: much as everybody else.
- 10:14Speaker 2: And so that's in safety in numbers, safety and numbers too.
- 10:18Speaker 4: Well.
- 10:19Speaker 2: I've always been curious America's Got Talent? Did you apply
- 10:22Speaker 2: to go on that show? Or how does it work?
- 10:24Speaker 2: Do they go and ask people to appear?
- 10:27Speaker 8: Well, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to even say,
- 10:29Speaker 8: but I'll tell you what they did ask me to
- 10:31Speaker 8: apply because I'd.
- 10:33Speaker 7: Never even seen the show.
- 10:34Speaker 8: I don't know how to watch America's Got Talent because
- 10:36Speaker 8: I live in Australia. I was born in New Zealand,
- 10:39Speaker 8: but I live in Australia. I don't even think we
- 10:42Speaker 8: show their show. But they did get in touch online.
- 10:47Speaker 8: I think they'd seen some videos because pub Qua has
- 10:48Speaker 8: been going for eight and a half years. I've been
- 10:50Speaker 8: doing every single show the whole time, and I think
- 10:53Speaker 8: they must have seen some of my clips online and thought,
- 10:56Speaker 8: oh that looks fun.
- 10:58Speaker 7: Yeah, And I mean I'll say, yeah, standingthing once.
- 11:01Speaker 2: Yeah, lovely to talk to you. Thanks so much for
- 11:04Speaker 2: being on the show.
- 11:06Speaker 8: I've had the loveliest time singing across New Zealand, so thanks.
- 11:08Speaker 7: For having me.
- 11:09Speaker 2: Ah, yes, are we any good at singing?
- 11:12Speaker 7: You're so good at singing. There's an incredible singing culture
- 11:15Speaker 7: across New Zealand.
- 11:16Speaker 8: I mean, you know, I do live in Australia and
- 11:19Speaker 8: they're okay, but New Zealand is really I don't know,
- 11:22Speaker 8: seem to tap into something together and to share that
- 11:25Speaker 8: moment really nicely and you laugh a lot, and I
- 11:28Speaker 8: just have the best time with New Zealand audiences.
- 11:31Speaker 2: Nice flattery. Estrad Jorgensen, who's with us Australian vocalist and conductor.
- 11:35Speaker 2: Very cool. Indeed. Five nineteen Billie Talk has been reunited
- 11:39Speaker 2: with the number thirteen Jersey for the AB's. Robinson's announced
- 11:42Speaker 2: the team overnight. This is play England on Sunday morning,
- 11:46Speaker 2: our time. He's starting at center. We'll talk to Elliott
- 11:49Speaker 2: Smith next.
- 11:51Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge on early edition with r V Supercenter, explore
- 11:56Speaker 1: r v's accessories and servicing, all in one news talks.
- 11:59Speaker 2: It'd be twenty two news talks here, but you're going
- 12:01Speaker 2: to hand it to Louise Upstonce. She is getting the
- 12:03Speaker 2: tourism numbers back up Australia. This is for the year.
- 12:06Speaker 2: Arrivals from Australia up one hundred and fifty three thousand
- 12:09Speaker 2: to one point four eight million, the US up twenty
- 12:12Speaker 2: one thousand, the UK up twenty thousand, Japan up ten thousand,
- 12:15Speaker 2: China holding steady. Unfortunately, the problem with all of this
- 12:19Speaker 2: is that the Aussies are coming here. The Aussies are
- 12:21Speaker 2: bringing us back, and they don't spend as much and
- 12:23Speaker 2: they don't stay as long. So this the you know,
- 12:27Speaker 2: the value is not as good as the top line
- 12:30Speaker 2: number would suggest. Monthly arrivals, we are going to hit
- 12:33Speaker 2: ninety five percent of pre COVID. That's full September. However,
- 12:38Speaker 2: for the year we're still at about eighty seven percent
- 12:40Speaker 2: of pre COVID. We're just not quite getting out of
- 12:43Speaker 2: that funk just yet, and certainly that is part A
- 12:46Speaker 2: big part of that problem is the Chinese twenty three
- 12:49Speaker 2: minutes after five Brian briefly the Av's at twicken fourteen
- 12:53Speaker 2: Sunday morning, our time for those willing to watch or listen.
- 12:56Speaker 2: Of course, Scott Robertson's men are two from two on tour,
- 12:59Speaker 2: but England haven't long at home all year. Elliott Smith's
- 13:02Speaker 2: Newstalk's MB's voice of Rugby with us this morning, Elliott
- 13:04Speaker 2: get a get they right? So bookies are favoring the
- 13:08Speaker 2: Abs right.
- 13:10Speaker 9: Mostly, although I've seen a few up here in England
- 13:13Speaker 9: where they have gone the way of the home team.
- 13:16Speaker 9: So you look at that cut somewhere in the middle
- 13:18Speaker 9: and you probably say it's a toss up game between
- 13:21Speaker 9: these two sides. As you mentioned, England's on a bit
- 13:23Speaker 9: of a tear so far this year, nine games unbeaten,
- 13:28Speaker 9: went through the Six Nations after an opening loss, been
- 13:30Speaker 9: through midyear and then on the end of year. At international.
- 13:33Speaker 9: So far I've posted a couple of wins, including over
- 13:36Speaker 9: the Wallabies, whereas the All Blacks obviously dropped a couple
- 13:38Speaker 9: of games midyear. But Bean Island beat Scotland, so the
- 13:42Speaker 9: bookies sort of saying it's maybe a fraction either way.
- 13:45Speaker 9: But in the middle you'd probably say it's a fifty
- 13:48Speaker 9: to fifty toss up game.
- 13:49Speaker 2: Which makes for a great rugby, doesn't it. Now what
- 13:51Speaker 2: about the back where Scott Robinson has had a bit
- 13:53Speaker 2: of a shuffle out back in Billy Proctor's starting at center.
- 13:56Speaker 9: Yeah, calla Clark out with injuries. Suffer that head knock
- 13:59Speaker 9: last week Murray Field, so he's out and it was
- 14:01Speaker 9: a couple of options that he could have done. He's
- 14:04Speaker 9: moved Leicester fying a nook who out of center into
- 14:07Speaker 9: the left wing, where he's played a little bit of
- 14:08Speaker 9: rugby for the All Blacks already this year and primarily
- 14:11Speaker 9: most of his test careers. The Billy Propter has come
- 14:14Speaker 9: back in out of the cold to start for the
- 14:15Speaker 9: first time and a few test matches. He's at thirteen.
- 14:18Speaker 9: Simon Parker back into the run on side as well.
- 14:21Speaker 9: In the good news as well, Ryan as that they've
- 14:22Speaker 9: got Scott Barrett back as well after a laceration to
- 14:26Speaker 9: his knee suffered that against Ireland nasty we gash right
- 14:28Speaker 9: across the top of his knee and he's been training
- 14:32Speaker 9: this week. Had a look at him today on the
- 14:34Speaker 9: training Paddic looks ready to go. He's been named to
- 14:36Speaker 9: return to this All Black side as well for Sunday
- 14:39Speaker 9: Morning New Zealand Time.
- 14:40Speaker 2: Elliot look forward to you calling on Sunday Morning. Elliott
- 14:42Speaker 2: Smith News Talks, hebb's Voice of Rugby. It's fourteen Sunday morning,
- 14:46Speaker 2: twenty four after five News Talks ZBB The early.
- 14:49Speaker 1: Edition Full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by NEWSTALKSB.
- 14:55Speaker 2: Five twenty seven News Talk ZBB. This prison escape story
- 14:59Speaker 2: I Reckon sounds she is hell in the week of
- 15:02Speaker 2: cover ups and ass covering. If it walks and talks
- 15:05Speaker 2: and quacks like something, then it probably is. Remember it walks.
- 15:08Speaker 7: Like a duck, and it quacks like a duck. It's
- 15:10Speaker 7: not looking good, is it.
- 15:11Speaker 2: No? I don't think this one's looking good. On Friday
- 15:14Speaker 2: last week, nine am, and inmate escapes mounted in prison.
- 15:17Speaker 2: The public isn't told, no media release, no warning, radio silence. Tuesday,
- 15:24Speaker 2: a media report finally pops up, and it looks like
- 15:26Speaker 2: a journalist has actually got wind of the story. Corrections
- 15:29Speaker 2: then confirm a prisoner has escaped, but they don't tell
- 15:33Speaker 2: us who, how anything. Was the guy a murderer? Is
- 15:36Speaker 2: he a risk to the public? Why can't we know
- 15:39Speaker 2: who he is? I think they're legitimate questions. Four days
- 15:42Speaker 2: on the run and by that stage still haven't found him,
- 15:46Speaker 2: and there's some bes about safety being their top priority,
- 15:49Speaker 2: blah blah blah, but nothing about hey, look out, there's
- 15:52Speaker 2: someone on the loose. Then yesterday a release goes out.
- 15:56Speaker 2: They finally name this guy and put out a photo.
- 15:59Speaker 2: Six days after he escapes, they haven't been able to
- 16:02Speaker 2: catch him, and they still don't say if he's a
- 16:05Speaker 2: risk to the public. His name is Paul Karl p
- 16:07Speaker 2: quet Riehu. Quick Google search last night find out pretty
- 16:13Speaker 2: quickly why they didn't want us to know why they
- 16:17Speaker 2: didn't release it for six days. This guy has escaped
- 16:21Speaker 2: prison before in twenty ten, but embarrassing for them, isn't it?
- 16:26Speaker 2: And I've been asking Corrections for an interview since this
- 16:29Speaker 2: story broke and computer says, no, why because there's an
- 16:33Speaker 2: internal review going on. So what you don't get to
- 16:38Speaker 2: hide and cover up your mistakes and wait till the
- 16:40Speaker 2: dust settles your front up and you own them. When
- 16:43Speaker 2: this guy escaped last time, Corrections immediately put out a release.
- 16:47Speaker 2: They warned the public not to approach him. They said
- 16:49Speaker 2: he was dangerous, and they said he had an extensive
- 16:51Speaker 2: criminal history. This time round, no warnings whatsoever. Is he
- 16:56Speaker 2: friendly now you know? Or are they again but covering?
- 17:01Speaker 2: God sakes? Take a leaf out of police's book and
- 17:04Speaker 2: front up. The longer you leave this the dodger you look.

- 17:55Speaker 4: Fall in one news talk said b.
- 18:00Speaker 2: It's pretty far away from six on your Friday morning.
- 18:02Speaker 2: We'll get to the Regulary Standards Bill before six past
- 18:05Speaker 2: at third reading, and we'll Vincent mcavenie's in the UK
- 18:08Speaker 2: for us in the US. This whole thing with the
- 18:11Speaker 2: Epstein it just looks like a massive Democrat attempt to
- 18:13Speaker 2: beat up Trump. Really, I don't think there's anything much
- 18:16Speaker 2: to it. It's a dead pedophiles word against a sitting president.
- 18:22Speaker 2: And this is an interesting take because yesterday we read
- 18:25Speaker 2: you the emails from Epstein to Gmax about Trump, which
- 18:30Speaker 2: said Trump's met this woman and the Democrats blanked out
- 18:35Speaker 2: her name, redacted her name the victim. And the reason
- 18:40Speaker 2: they did that, according to this commentator, is quite simple,
- 18:43Speaker 2: because it was Virginia. Do frey have a listen that this.
- 18:48Speaker 10: Is even a story today is something of a scandal,
- 18:50Speaker 10: meaning Democrats they went out of their way to obstruct
- 18:54Speaker 10: the name of the individual in question to make it
- 18:57Speaker 10: seem like Donald Trump might have some secret here that.
- 18:59Speaker 11: Needs to be exposed.
- 19:00Speaker 10: And the reason why they obstructed the name is because
- 19:03Speaker 10: Virginia Juffrey, the victim of Epstein, has had publicly and
- 19:07Speaker 10: repeatedly said that Donald Trump had never witnessed or participated
- 19:11Speaker 10: in any bad activity. So this is just hard to
- 19:14Speaker 10: take people seriously that they actually care about this.
- 19:16Speaker 2: Interesting, isn't it. We'll talk to Andrews involved again. Of course,
- 19:19Speaker 2: we'll talk to Vincent about that just before quarter two.
- 19:21Speaker 2: This morning, it's twenty three to six. Ryan Bridge, Clum

- 20:31Speaker 11: president Jack Patterson says it's always a popular watch. He
- 20:34Speaker 11: says it's a thrill seeing someone competing with a razor
- 20:38Speaker 11: sharp axe.
- 20:39Speaker 2: Yeah it is. Are they going to lose the foot?
- 20:41Speaker 1: You know?
- 20:41Speaker 2: That's an exciting part of it. How's the weather.
- 20:43Speaker 11: Yeah fine, but areas of morning cloud being cloud increasing
- 20:46Speaker 11: in the evening with some late evening rain. The high
- 20:49Speaker 11: today twenty three.
- 20:50Speaker 2: All right, thank you, hopefully it's better better than yesterday,
- 20:53Speaker 2: Max's and willing to Max. Good morning. Andrew Little is
- 20:56Speaker 2: dumping Tory's business group.
- 20:59Speaker 13: Yeah, the new mayor instantly dismissing this. It was set
- 21:03Speaker 13: up by a Tory final because very clearly our central
- 21:06Speaker 13: city has some real issues.
- 21:07Speaker 2: The idea was to get.
- 21:08Speaker 13: A group of business leaders together in a room once
- 21:11Speaker 13: a month figure out how to save the central city.
- 21:14Speaker 13: Not the worst idea on paper. The problem was, of
- 21:16Speaker 13: course execution a few of the mayor's mates, who may
- 21:20Speaker 13: very well run a successful social media account and a
- 21:22Speaker 13: small boutique shop on Cuba Street. But after a few months,
- 21:26Speaker 13: perhaps the two members with the greatest merit quit because
- 21:29Speaker 13: they said they weren't being listened to and that all
- 21:31Speaker 13: these meetings were were just people sitting around a table socializing,
- 21:35Speaker 13: having a cup of tea and a cheese board. Andrew
- 21:37Speaker 13: Little then coming in giving it the flick. He says,
- 21:40Speaker 13: business leaders in the capital still are not being listened to,
- 21:43Speaker 13: and the panel's goals were not clear. But of course
- 21:47Speaker 13: you've still got to do something here. Andrew Little says
- 21:49Speaker 13: he will do something. The Chamber of Commerce wants a
- 21:52Speaker 13: business advisory council set up through it. That's what they're suggesting.
- 21:56Speaker 13: Little says something will be done, but whatever it is
- 21:59Speaker 13: has to be constructive and it has to involve everyone.
- 22:03Speaker 2: See, I find the idea of these boards. These advisory
- 22:06Speaker 2: groups are weird. I mean you've got Business New Zealand,
- 22:09Speaker 2: you've got the Chamber of Commerce. Is that not exactly
- 22:12Speaker 2: what they are? You know, just talk to them.
- 22:14Speaker 13: Well a lot of the time, Yeah, a lot of
- 22:16Speaker 13: the time it's doing something to be seen to be
- 22:18Speaker 13: doing something.
- 22:19Speaker 2: Right exactly, Max, how's your weather?
- 22:21Speaker 13: Claring to find early stronger northerlyies eighteen the hay.
- 22:24Speaker 2: Neva's and auklan Neva. Good morning, Good morning. What are these?
- 22:27Speaker 2: I walked through this park. This is a great lead
- 22:29Speaker 2: and you've got violent attacks from groups of young people.
- 22:32Speaker 14: Yes, now the Herald did this story. So what's happened
- 22:35Speaker 14: is that it's Grayland Park. A local woman. Now she
- 22:40Speaker 14: went into panic mode. Now she was punched in the
- 22:42Speaker 14: stomach by a teenager. This happened last week. There she
- 22:46Speaker 14: was relaxing in Grayland Park. She had her eyes closed,
- 22:49Speaker 14: she was lying down there, noise canceling headphones on. When
- 22:52Speaker 14: this attack happened minding her own business, enjoying life now,
- 22:56Speaker 14: the woman in her thirties. She told the hero that
- 22:58Speaker 14: since that incident had last week, other part goers they've
- 23:02Speaker 14: come forward with similar stories and apparently, you know, groups
- 23:06Speaker 14: of young teenagers on you know, scooters and that have
- 23:09Speaker 14: just been doing all of this, terrorizing people in the park.
- 23:11Speaker 14: For goodness sake.
- 23:12Speaker 2: What the hell. I know, it's weird because there was
- 23:15Speaker 2: a story for a neighbor of mine had a young person,
- 23:19Speaker 2: like an eight year old kid in their backyard ripping
- 23:23Speaker 2: out all their plants the other day. This is a
- 23:26Speaker 2: story ripping out all their plants, and they came outside
- 23:29Speaker 2: and they're like, what the hell is going on? And
- 23:32Speaker 2: so chase the kid. He jumps over the fence starts
- 23:34Speaker 2: ripping out their plants from the neighbor's house as well,
- 23:37Speaker 2: and then anyway, police cargoes parts and she pulls them over.
- 23:41Speaker 2: She says, hey, are you're not by any chance looking
- 23:43Speaker 2: for a child, are you? And they said, yes, there's
- 23:46Speaker 2: a very sad case actually, but an autistic child has
- 23:49Speaker 2: gone missing in the area and here he was in
- 23:52Speaker 2: their backyard ripping out all.
- 23:53Speaker 4: The plants, ripping out all the plants.
- 23:55Speaker 2: Chance they caught that, they got this kid and returned
- 23:58Speaker 2: to his parents, who are obviously, you know, besides themselves,
- 24:01Speaker 2: beside themselves worried about where he was. And that's just
- 24:04Speaker 2: down the road from.
- 24:05Speaker 14: At least it's a happy ending, really, But I mean,
- 24:08Speaker 14: if you were there and you're thinking, what's going on
- 24:10Speaker 14: here when you find a child wrapping out?
- 24:12Speaker 2: Probably but happening in this world? What weather?
- 24:17Speaker 14: Okay, well, it's not a good day to be rubbing blood.
- 24:22Speaker 14: We've got showers, possibly heavy thundery with hail.
- 24:25Speaker 2: You told me good news, No, you told me how
- 24:27Speaker 2: yesterday you were lying. I was waiting for it. I
- 24:31Speaker 2: even said to everybody outside and say, hey, this hail today,
- 24:33Speaker 2: it's going to be fun day on the weather front.
- 24:35Speaker 14: That never a ready manas she's such a liar lion
- 24:37Speaker 14: pants on fire. Okay, well, the high of twenty let's
- 24:41Speaker 14: see if that happens.
- 24:42Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't believe it. Happy Friday, seventeen to six
- 24:45Speaker 2: News Talk sep b us Talks b is qught it
- 24:48Speaker 2: to six. The Regulatory Standards Bill, David Simo's Regultory Standards Bill.
- 24:52Speaker 2: We'll get to that in just a second, because on
- 24:54Speaker 2: the one side, you've got the sky caving in from
- 24:57Speaker 2: the opposition, but on the other you've got a guy
- 24:59Speaker 2: saying this is actually just a bunch of basically principles.
- 25:04Speaker 2: They're not legally enforceable. You just have to consider them
- 25:07Speaker 2: when you're making laws, and they seem quite reasonable. So
- 25:10Speaker 2: we'll talk about that in just a second. Also, some
- 25:13Speaker 2: happy news to start your Friday morning. Fossil fuel emissions
- 25:16Speaker 2: have apparently had a record high two point six percent
- 25:19Speaker 2: increase in temperatures will be happening by the end of
- 25:22Speaker 2: the century. That's on pre industrial levels, and nothing that's
- 25:25Speaker 2: happening at this COP thirty conference is going to fix that.
- 25:28Speaker 2: But actually I had a number for you because it's interesting.
- 25:32Speaker 2: This is the individual nations their contribution, and the government
- 25:38Speaker 2: can take a bow and take its hat off, because
- 25:42Speaker 2: guess what global carbon budget projects thirty eight one billion
- 25:47Speaker 2: tons of fossil carbon dioxide emissions this year. That is
- 25:51Speaker 2: a record high. The US is up, China is up,
- 25:55Speaker 2: Japan is down, but also so is New Zealand. New
- 26:00Speaker 2: Zealand emissions down two point nine percent from twenty twenty four.
- 26:05Speaker 2: So is someone and going is Chloe going to stand
- 26:07Speaker 2: up and clip for Simon.
- 26:09Speaker 1: Watts International correspondence with ins an Eye Insurance, Peace of
- 26:14Speaker 1: Mind for New Zealand business.
- 26:16Speaker 2: So I think the sixth now Vincent Mecavini a UK
- 26:19Speaker 2: europe correspondents, and the Epstein thing in some more revelations
- 26:23Speaker 2: about Andrew.
- 26:25Speaker 15: Yeah, that's right. Thousands of emails were released in the
- 26:29Speaker 15: US yesterday by Congress in their sort of slow release
- 26:34Speaker 15: of all these Epstein files, and it found more emails
- 26:38Speaker 15: relating to the man previously known as Prince Andrew now
- 26:41Speaker 15: known as Andrew mount Bassan Windsor, and a really telling
- 26:44Speaker 15: email from twenty eleven in which Epstein writes that yes,
- 26:49Speaker 15: Geoffrey was on my plane and yes she had her
- 26:51Speaker 15: picture taken with Andrew. Now, this account contradicts the Prince's
- 26:55Speaker 15: assertion that he never met miss Giffray, despite having paid
- 26:58Speaker 15: that rather large settlement to her a few years ago,
- 27:01Speaker 15: and his long standing suggestion, as he said in that
- 27:04Speaker 15: BBC Newsnight interview, that the image was a fake one.
- 27:08Speaker 15: Epstein is clearly saying that's not the case. The pair
- 27:11Speaker 15: met and that image is real. So more damaging allegations
- 27:15Speaker 15: towards him as he prepares to be removed from his
- 27:18Speaker 15: big royal lodge home and sent to Sandringham to spend
- 27:21Speaker 15: the rest of his days.
- 27:23Speaker 2: What do we call him now, Justine, That's exactly what
- 27:27Speaker 2: we call him.
- 27:27Speaker 15: It's just Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, no titles, nothing, all right.
- 27:31Speaker 2: Hey, Vincent, thank you? Vincent? Mecha anyhow? UK europe correspondent time.
- 27:34Speaker 2: It's twelve minutes away from six. Ryan Labour says it
- 27:38Speaker 2: all repeal the Rigulatory Standards Bill and its first one
- 27:41Speaker 2: hundred days of elicted next year. That is still a
- 27:43Speaker 2: big if at this point. The bill passed its third
- 27:45Speaker 2: reading in the House last night, officially becomes Lord Duncan Wibbs,
- 27:48Speaker 2: Labour's regulation spokesperson. Good morning, good morning, good to be here,
- 27:53Speaker 2: Good to have you on the show. And what is
- 27:55Speaker 2: so because these are a bunch of principles, they're not
- 27:57Speaker 2: legally enforcible. What are you and nickers and such a
- 28:00Speaker 2: twist for.
- 28:02Speaker 6: Well, the point is that this is the rules about
- 28:04Speaker 6: how you make law, and so that affects all the
- 28:07Speaker 6: law we make. And it's tilting the playing field. It's
- 28:09Speaker 6: saying that every time you make a law, you've got
- 28:12Speaker 6: to look at this list of principles and you've got
- 28:16Speaker 6: to apply it. And someone sitting over in the corner,
- 28:19Speaker 6: this regultary standards board as a referee, and it's telling
- 28:22Speaker 6: you off if you don't follow those particular rules. And
- 28:25Speaker 6: the rules are not balanced. They are.
- 28:31Speaker 2: But but the thing is, you guys had the well
- 28:33Speaker 2: being budgets and you had the you know, you've got
- 28:35Speaker 2: to tick this box and tip back box. What's it?
- 28:37Speaker 2: I mean, this is just a bit of it in
- 28:39Speaker 2: the other direction, isn't it.
- 28:41Speaker 6: Well, no, it's quite different because the well Being budget
- 28:44Speaker 6: was a set of principles around how you spend public funds.
- 28:47Speaker 2: And this is a set of principles about how you
- 28:49Speaker 2: make laws.
- 28:50Speaker 6: Yeah, making law is absolutely fundamental to how the society works.
- 28:55Speaker 2: But they're not imp you can ignore them.
- 28:59Speaker 6: But if you've got to set of principles that say
- 29:01Speaker 6: you've got to make law that preserves private property but
- 29:04Speaker 6: doesn't mention things like public health, the environment or human rights,
- 29:07Speaker 6: you're going to get private property promoted and help environment
- 29:12Speaker 6: nor them.
- 29:12Speaker 2: Duncan.
- 29:13Speaker 6: Well, no, that's not how it works. This is about
- 29:15Speaker 6: how you make quality law. This is how public servants
- 29:18Speaker 6: will develop policy. This is how people like it will
- 29:22Speaker 6: be harder to make well. Not impossible, but harder. Just
- 29:25Speaker 6: like the Bill of Rights Act, which prevents, for example,
- 29:27Speaker 6: the right from a legal search and seizure. The government
- 29:31Speaker 6: can ignore it, but it does so add its peril.
- 29:33Speaker 6: It's a political cost, even it's not a legal cost.
- 29:36Speaker 2: The submissions on this, I mean, there were heaps of posed,
- 29:39Speaker 2: but the submissions are different from public opinion. Is this
- 29:42Speaker 2: You guys are saying this is going to be done
- 29:44Speaker 2: in a first one hundred days. Big deal. I've never
- 29:46Speaker 2: heard anyone talking about it at a barbecue.
- 29:50Speaker 6: Ah, gee, you should come to my barbecue. Just we's
- 29:53Speaker 6: all we talk about.
- 29:54Speaker 2: Thank you. Look a lot of people are worried about it, though,
- 29:58Speaker 2: and there are people who are.
- 30:00Speaker 6: You think, Oh, look a lot of the law society,
- 30:03Speaker 6: for example, was really the law of human rights. You
- 30:06Speaker 6: go to the Abattue, the Human Rights Commission, the Children's Commissioner,
- 30:10Speaker 6: all these people who aren't necessarily labor party your.
- 30:13Speaker 2: Life, duncan. Are you leaving the party because you didn't
- 30:15Speaker 2: get a wealth text?
- 30:19Speaker 6: No, No, look, I'm leaving the party because I want
- 30:21Speaker 6: to do some more exciting things. But you know, talking
- 30:24Speaker 6: about well it's going to be good, it's good. I
- 30:27Speaker 6: think it's a really good idea. I think so you didn't.
- 30:30Speaker 2: Want more, You didn't want more, Duncan.
- 30:33Speaker 6: Well, look, I think I'm happy was where we've landed.
- 30:36Speaker 6: I think it's achievable. It won't affect most New Zealanders,
- 30:39Speaker 6: but it will pay for some really great health services.
- 30:41Speaker 6: I think it's a great step forward.
- 30:42Speaker 2: Duncan Web from Labor appreciate your time. It is nine
- 30:45Speaker 2: Away from Sex News Talks The b.
- 30:48Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day Early
- 30:50Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and r V super Center explore
- 30:54Speaker 1: r v's accessories and servicing.
- 30:56Speaker 4: More than one news talks be.
- 30:58Speaker 2: Given to six. Have you ever gone to buy house
- 31:00Speaker 2: or buy an apartment or something and the agent tells
- 31:03Speaker 2: you that the price, Oh no, it's going to be
- 31:05Speaker 2: really cheap. Get in there, going to auction, Get in there,
- 31:08Speaker 2: the price will be really cheap. You can afford it.
- 31:10Speaker 2: And then you go and get your inspection done, you
- 31:13Speaker 2: get a builder through, you spend all this money and
- 31:15Speaker 2: then the price is double what they said it would be.
- 31:18Speaker 2: In Australia there is a law against this, and in
- 31:21Speaker 2: New South Wales the government is going to increase the penalty.
- 31:24Speaker 2: So if a real estate agent under Cox or under
- 31:27Speaker 2: quotes the value of the property to you, and you're
- 31:29Speaker 2: a buyer, they can face a penalty of it was
- 31:32Speaker 2: twenty two thousand Australian dollars. That is going to a
- 31:36Speaker 2: maximum one hundred and ten thousand dollars for breeches, and
- 31:39Speaker 2: I think that's a good idea. I encountered this problem
- 31:41Speaker 2: when I went to buy my first property, a unit
- 31:45Speaker 2: that I wanted to live in, and my budget was
- 31:48Speaker 2: about four hundred and fifty thousand dollars and the agent
- 31:52Speaker 2: said and on trade me the range was way down
- 31:56Speaker 2: below that. And they're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, come on,
- 31:58Speaker 2: So you spend all the money, you get every thing done,
- 32:00Speaker 2: get in there. Starting of the auction, the starting bid
- 32:04Speaker 2: was five hundred and twenty. I didn't have a show
- 32:07Speaker 2: and it went for something like six fifty crying bridge, trageous,
- 32:12Speaker 2: five to six mikes.
- 32:13Speaker 16: Here morning mate, You've done your due diligence and how
- 32:16Speaker 16: to look around the marketplace. You could have gone into
- 32:18Speaker 16: that transaction knowing pretty much what the thing was worth.
- 32:21Speaker 2: The problem with that is you then have to get
- 32:24Speaker 2: valuations done. You can do your own cursory glance, which
- 32:28Speaker 2: I did and looked at at recent sales. But I
- 32:32Speaker 2: was a bit off.
- 32:33Speaker 4: I was.
- 32:33Speaker 2: It was my first time doing that kind of thing.
- 32:36Speaker 2: And the problem is that if you rely on where
- 32:41Speaker 2: on the trade, me or the agents.
- 32:43Speaker 16: Of course I agree with you, but you sold it
- 32:45Speaker 16: and your made some money and you're now the wealthy
- 32:47Speaker 16: end of it.
- 32:47Speaker 2: No way, didn't buy it. I didn't buy it.
- 32:49Speaker 16: Because you couldn't afford it.
- 32:50Speaker 2: Couldn't afford it.
- 32:51Speaker 16: Have you got a home now, I've got a home now.
- 32:53Speaker 16: That's okay, So it's worked out well in the end.
- 32:55Speaker 16: You're not like one of those people at Queen Street
- 32:56Speaker 16: or something like that.
- 32:57Speaker 2: No no, no, no, no, no no no.
