• 0:49
  Speaker 3: are out and it's down to two and a half
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: percent for the year to August. It's down from two
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: point nine percent the year to July. It is the
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: lowest increase in inflation in the world's largest economy in
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: three years. But core inflation, so this excludes food and
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: energy costs. Unexpectedly picked up stocks are down this morning,
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: picking the fed's rate cut decision next week will be
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: a quarter rather than a half. By the way, our
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: numbers for August are out later this morning. This yarn
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: out of Melbourne wins the Irony Awards. Bunch of feral
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: ossie demonstrators, apparently many of them professional demonstrators, confronted police
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: outside the International Weapons Conference using wait for it, weapons.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: They were spraying acid and throwing rocks at police.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: There is the right to protest peacefully, of course, but
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: to behave in such a disgraceful way towards members of
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: Victoria Police who are there doing their job, who are
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: there doing their job to protect community safety.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Look, our ACC is proposing to hike the costs of
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: its levees. Employers and workers would see rises between four
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: point three and four point eight percent per year over
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: the next three years. For motorists, propose increases are at
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: seven percent or more. Chief Executive Megan Mains says it's
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: needed to make sure future generations don't carry the cost
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: of current claims.
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: And we need to make sure that we're collecting sufficient.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Levy each year to cover the lifetime costs of those
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Jury nine.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: To eleven Memorial taking place in New York. This morning,

  Speaker 3: KRMLA and the Don shook hands for those who are interested.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Plus something to keep your eye on today, health will
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: be making headlines. Shane Ritti is off to a hospital
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: talking about their plan and how they're going to do
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: to health targets. Q questions on race based funding. You
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: can expect some on that. That death in Errotua ed
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: and the infamous bureaucracy layers graph I'm sure will be
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: raised with him as well.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Get ahead of the headlines.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge you for twenty twenty four on early edition
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture Beds and a Planet store.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: News Talk said, be yeah.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Karmala Harris won the debate if winning the debate is
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: taking a red rag to a bull, hooking and prodding
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: a tiger until it attacks and goes off peace.
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: Her vice presidential pick says abortion in the ninth month
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: is absolutely fine. He also says execution after birth, it's
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: an execution, no longer abortion because the baby is born
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: is okay. In Springfield, they're eating the dogs, the people
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: that came in. They're eating the cats, they're eating they're
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: eating the pets of the people that live there. How
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: she wants to do transgender operations or illegal aliens that
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: are in prison. She hates the Arab population because the
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: whole place is going to get blown up. Arabs, Jewish people, Israel,
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: Israel will be gone.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: I don't know what to say, but what Kamala Harris
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: demonstrated last night is that she can one stick to
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: a strategy and execute it to get under Donald Trump's
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: which is, let's face it, thinner than a runway model,
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: and three, most importantly, thereby avoid any meaningful scrutiny of
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: the plans that she has to tax and spend. Did
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: anybody else roll their eyes when she said she was
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: going to build new houses and solve a housing crisis?
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Where have we heard that one before? But despite all
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: of that, here's why it doesn't actually matter. It won't
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: change the outcome of the election. They are basically neck
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: and neck in the polls. And sure, Biden's debate was
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: an absolute train wreck and led to his undoing, but
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: that was over his ability to even speak and think.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: You know, Trump is sharp as attack. If the headline
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: here is Trump goes off script, that's not a headline.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: That's Trump and everybody knows that about him. Here's an
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: interesting clip from an undecided on CNN.
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: We are voting for the leader of our country, and
• 4:51
  Speaker 7: not who we like the most or what.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Did you see that brought you to a conclusion.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I think it's.
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: Important to remember that we are voting for the leader
• 5:00
  Speaker 7: of our country and not who we like the most
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: or who we want in our wedding party, but who
• 5:05
  Speaker 7: is actually going to make our country better. And we're
• 5:09
  Speaker 7: in an incredibly unique situation where we've had both of
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: the candidates in office before and we've gotten to see
• 5:14
  Speaker 7: what them we do. And when facts come to facts,
• 5:17
  Speaker 7: my life was better when Trump was in office.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: The poll of polls, which is the one you want
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: to look at, obviously, Trump is doing better in the
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: polls at this point of the cycle than he was
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: in both twenty twenty and twenty sixteen. And obviously you
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: don't need to win the popular votes, you just need
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: to get the electoral college right. In the battleground states,
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Harris Shaw is a head by a whisker in most
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: of them, but in Wisconsin and in Michigan, the poles
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: of consistently understated support for Donald Trump. It happened in
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: twenty sixteen. It happened in twenty twenty, so there's a
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: polling miss a buffer, if you will, that goes in
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump's favor. Bryan Bridge, twelve minutes after five on
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: News Talk said, be we're going to have, by the way,
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: an excellent polster in. Washington Post columnist Henry Olsen on
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: the show just before six, I'd love to know what
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: you think about or what you thought about the debate yesterday.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Nine two nine two is the number to text. We're
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: also talking orange juice next back home in New Zealand,
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: why the prices for fresh orange juice are doubling at
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: our supermarkets. It's all ahead News Talk, set.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: By News and Views you trust.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: To start your day.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: It's early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Zealand's Furniture Beds and a flying store News Talk SIBB.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Just gone fourteen after five. Great to have your company
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: this morning. An update This is coming overnight from core Logic.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: It is there mapping the market. Data shows that fifty
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: percent of suburbs are experiencing what they call a meaningful
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: value increase, that is one percent or more. So if
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: you look at the nine hundred and fifty one suburbs
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: they covered about half or the median property values rise
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: by at least one percent. This is over the past year. However,
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: the past three months have been particularly bad, especially if
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: you're in Auckland, Napier, Wellington or Nelson. It's kind of
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: fallen off a bit of a cliff there. Double digit
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: growth though, Pop your champagne if you are in There
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: are eight suburbs that had double digit growth, two of
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: them in the Gray District, Cobden the medium price three
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: hundred and thirteen thousand that was up twenty two percent
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: over the last year, and Blaketown up sixteen percent. Quarter
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: past five bread bred another blow for regional New Zealand.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: The country's largest gas user, methin X, has proposed to
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: scale down its operations for the foreseeable future. So they
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: had two plants that have been shut until the end
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: of October to save gas. Now the company is consulting
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: on only turning one of them back on. That means
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: fewer jobs. John Carnegie's with us as the Energy Resources
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: alted are John, Good morning, good point. Right now, I
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: know that methodex is a member of your organization, so
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: you can't speak too much about specifics. Do you think
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: there's a chance that they could pull out of New
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Zealand altogether.
• 8:07
  Speaker 8: Oh, look, well that depends on how much, guess we
• 8:09
  Speaker 8: are new gas production we get. So we're certainly hoping
• 8:14
  Speaker 8: hoping not. This is this is devastating, potentially devastating for
• 8:19
  Speaker 8: regional New Zealand and nationally.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Actually, Ryan, do you.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Have any update on the governments because obviously there's a
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: task force going on that's looking at issues, there's a
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: there's a wider review going on. Have you had any
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: meaningful update from the government on plans for those upstream
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: gas producers?
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: Oh?
• 8:39
  Speaker 8: Yes, the government has made a number of announcements with
• 8:46
  Speaker 8: respect to the or A gas sector. But actually what
• 8:54
  Speaker 8: we need to see as we want it to move
• 8:57
  Speaker 8: more quickly, they actually make the changes. It's promise because
• 9:01
  Speaker 8: of course we haven't seen a bill in the House yet. Unfortunately,
• 9:06
  Speaker 8: finding our energy system lurching from crisis to crisis seems
• 9:10
  Speaker 8: to have been entirely predictable result of the shop all
• 9:13
  Speaker 8: and guests being in twenty eighteen.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Have you had any chats with labor or have they
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: reached out to you at all as an industry organization
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: to say what exactly is it you need, you know,
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: we want to talk about our policy, our energy policy,
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: anything like that. In recent months, I yess.
• 9:30
  Speaker 8: We engage with all political parties, and we've certainly engaged
• 9:35
  Speaker 8: with the Labor Party.
• 9:37
  Speaker 9: But from what I can.
• 9:38
  Speaker 8: Ascertain, their policy position, their current policy position is going
• 9:47
  Speaker 8: to be the same as the ones that took into
• 9:50
  Speaker 8: the election last year.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: And what does that mean for confidence and investing?
• 9:57
  Speaker 8: I mean, what it does, Ryan is it it leaves
• 10:01
  Speaker 8: a massive hole in the confidence of investors. In fact,
• 10:08
  Speaker 8: right across the spectrum of fossil fuel use. So it's
• 10:12
  Speaker 8: not just production, but it's also if you have plans
• 10:18
  Speaker 8: for a guest fired power station or in fact, there
• 10:22
  Speaker 8: are some discussions recently going on around LNG what the
• 10:27
  Speaker 8: result of the Labor Party continuing to say that will
• 10:33
  Speaker 8: maintain or re establish the oil and guest band And
• 10:38
  Speaker 8: I see even musing about whether or not osload the
• 10:42
  Speaker 8: pump hydro scheme will be back on the table, which
• 10:45
  Speaker 8: just creates a massive, massive sovereign risk and dampens the
• 10:50
  Speaker 8: desire of those who might be interested in making those investments.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: Thank you very much for joining us this one, John,
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: I really appreciate it, especially so early. John Carnegie, the
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: Energy Resources Altied A Methodex is a member of that organization.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: I do also want to say that we did ask
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: the leader and the energy spokesperson for Labor to come on,
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: weren't available at this hour. We also asked a gas producers,
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: the upstream gas producers Todd and Omb. We also asked
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Methodex to come on as well. They're not talking at
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: the moment while they consult on this proposal. Coming up
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: next Orange Juice Fresh orange Juice doubling in price. Notice
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: that we'll tell you why.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge new for twenty twenty four on early edition
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: with Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and a playing store.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: News Talk Zidby.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: Good morning, twenty one after five. I hope you're enjoying
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: your Thursday morning so far. We're going to get to
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: the well back to the debate just before six. This
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: is the US presidential debate, because we've got a polster
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: on will it really move the dial? In Karmala Harris's favor,
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: plus lots of your text coming in and I'm very
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: much enjoying reading them. I'll get to those shortly as well.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Right now. Though you may have noticed at the supermarket.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: There's this orange juice around fresh orange juicetters. Juice here
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: is made of a mix of local and imported products,
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: most coming from Brazil, and they're dealing with a disease
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: impacting their yield. It's spared for anyone trying to buy
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: citrus products, but it's good for our local growers who
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: have seen their wholesale price almost double. Met Carter is
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: an orange grower and a citrus New Zealand board member
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Met Good morning, morning, Ryan. Thank you for being with me.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: I appreciate you being up, being up so early for us.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Tell us, how is this affecting you guys?
• 12:32
  Speaker 10: Sign Like you said, it's we get some juice concentrate
• 12:36
  Speaker 10: from all over the world, including Brazil, so it's actually
• 12:42
  Speaker 10: a global issue. So Brazil and Florida and a few
• 12:46
  Speaker 10: other countries are really being hammered by an insect and
• 12:50
  Speaker 10: a disease called citrus screening, and that's just really impacting
• 12:55
  Speaker 10: the availability of juice grade fruit. Brazil used to supply
• 12:59
  Speaker 10: about seven of the world's juicing fruit, so it's just
• 13:03
  Speaker 10: having a big impact around the world for those countries
• 13:06
  Speaker 10: where we used to import it to make up our
• 13:09
  Speaker 10: own local juice as well.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: Has cyclone Gabrielle hitting an impact on our output.
• 13:16
  Speaker 10: It has a little bit. You know, a lot of
• 13:20
  Speaker 10: the juicing fruit does come from the Gisbane region where
• 13:24
  Speaker 10: I am, and some of those blocks were badly affected.
• 13:29
  Speaker 10: We say, having a bit of a more normal spring
• 13:32
  Speaker 10: and a bit more of a normal summer last year,
• 13:34
  Speaker 10: and those blocks are starting to recover, which is pretty good.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: How good is the shortage for your bottom line?
• 13:42
  Speaker 10: So those glowers that are growing juice juicing oranges, so
• 13:46
  Speaker 10: that's normally the Valencia orange, which we pick from around
• 13:50
  Speaker 10: November through to April May, so it's really a summer orange.
• 13:55
  Speaker 10: It's been really good for those guys. So in the
• 13:58
  Speaker 10: past we use to pack some of that fruit and
• 14:01
  Speaker 10: send it off to the supermarkets and that used to
• 14:04
  Speaker 10: get a good price, and the juice grade fruit would
• 14:07
  Speaker 10: be worth forty to fifty cents hero and over the
• 14:11
  Speaker 10: last couple of years that's steadily been climbing and as
• 14:13
  Speaker 10: you said, that's nearly doubled in the last two years.
• 14:17
  Speaker 10: So for those growers that have got that fruit, and
• 14:20
  Speaker 10: most citrus growers have got a good mix of fruit,
• 14:24
  Speaker 10: so lemons or limes and oranges mandarins, then that particular
• 14:28
  Speaker 10: part of their businesses has really turned up.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: In a word, what is the difference between juice grade
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: and just one you eat? Is the juice grade sweeter
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: or something?
• 14:41
  Speaker 10: No, it's just how it looks.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: Oh so the juicing ones are ugly.
• 14:46
  Speaker 9: Are they basically?
• 14:48
  Speaker 10: Yeah?
• 14:48
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 14:49
  Speaker 10: So normally if we're sending them off to the packhouse,
• 14:54
  Speaker 10: they'll give them a wash and a cleanup over the
• 14:57
  Speaker 10: brushes and then grade them out on cous So the
• 15:00
  Speaker 10: best looking stuff goes off to the supermarket and than
• 15:05
  Speaker 10: anything with defects or a bit of a funny shape
• 15:07
  Speaker 10: they go off to reducing companies.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: Matt, thank you for that. Matt Carter, orange grower and
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: Sitrus New Zealand board member, Putting all the ugly ones
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: in the dark just got on twenty five after five,
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: the early.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio, How It By News
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Talks It Be.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: People seem to think Karmela Harris made a fool of
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: Trump and the debate last night, but the real fall
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: was US New Zealand. Within twenty four hours of that debate,
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: we got news of two hundred and thirty jobs being
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: lost in part because of an energy crunch caused by
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: moral grand standing on climate change. That's two hundred and
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: thirty jobs, but up to one thousand people once you
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: take into account families. That's half the population of Datahei
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: and o'kuney. Shane Jones calls this the hollowing out of
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: regional New Zealand and wait for it, there is to come.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: We also got last night news method x as consulting
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: on mothballing indefinitely one of its two remaining plants. Why
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: you guessed it? In part moral grandstanding on climate which
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: we'll get to in a second. But first, back to
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: the debate. Listen to the most left progressive political leader
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: in America right now boasting about fracking.
• 16:21
  Speaker 11: I will not band fracking. I have not bannd fracking
• 16:24
  Speaker 11: as Vice President United States, and in fact, I was
• 16:27
  Speaker 11: the tie breaking vote on the Inflation Reduction Act, which
• 16:31
  Speaker 11: opened new leases for fracking.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: And here Karmla Harris boasts about record domestic oil production
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: while she and Biden are in charge.
• 16:40
  Speaker 11: We have had the largest increase in domestic oil production
• 16:46
  Speaker 11: in history.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: Drill, baby, drill. Meanwhile, we're basking in nuclear free moment
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: bliss down here at the bottom of the Pacific. Aren't
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: we sending manufacturing jobs and regional jobs off to the slaughterhouse?
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: And yes, climate change is real, and yes we have
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: to do something about it. But why would we cut
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: our noses off to spite our faces when the most
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: progressive climate conscious contender to run the world's largest economy
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: and biggest user of oil is boasting about drilling for it.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: Sitting watching that debate yesterday, it wasn't Trump that I
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: thought looked stupid.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: It was us, Ryan Bridge.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: Twenty nine after five are we going to talk to
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: polster Henry Olsen? After just before the news at six o'clock,

  Speaker 3: If you had to take a stab in the dark,
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: what industry do you think would top the list in
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: terms of contribution to GDP might surprise you. We'll be

• 18:46
  Speaker 3: lead singer. He's had an affair outside of marriage, admitted
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: it in an Instagram post. Do we admire him for
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: being honest or do we hate him because he's been
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: a dirt bag. I've recently become the father of a
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: new baby do born outside of my marriage. I plan
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: to be a loving and supportive parent to her. I
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: love my wife and my children. I'm doing everything I
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness. Did
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: you only do the Instagram post because the baby is
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: now born? It exists and someone will talk about it.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: Probably interestingly you read down the story cheated on his

  Speaker 3: Twenty three away from six News Talk said big Cullum

  Speaker 3: land and water plans. Cullum.
• 19:35
  Speaker 12: Yes, this is something which has caused quite a stir here, Ryan.
• 19:37
  Speaker 12: The Otago Regional Council's response to the Environment Minister around
• 19:42
  Speaker 12: these land and water plans have been released earlier this year.
• 19:45
  Speaker 12: You'll remember Minister Penny Simmons requested cost information from the
• 19:49
  Speaker 12: Regional Council on this plan. Federated Farmer's Otago is also
• 19:53
  Speaker 12: concerned that the expense and has demanded the response be
• 19:55
  Speaker 12: made public. Now the response is out. It's an eight
• 19:58
  Speaker 12: page letter to the Minister at State Council will or
• 20:02
  Speaker 12: the council will continue with its draft development plans. The
• 20:05
  Speaker 12: council says it's confident that changes align with the Government's
• 20:09
  Speaker 12: direction enabling infrastructure and allowing farmers flexibility. The chair, Gretchen
• 20:14
  Speaker 12: Robertson says draft Section thirty two extracts, though supporting the response,
• 20:17
  Speaker 12: are not to be made public, yet they committed to
• 20:20
  Speaker 12: providing that information though with the minister. The two parties
• 20:23
  Speaker 12: meet in Wellington today.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: All right, calm, how's your weather today?
• 20:27
  Speaker 12: Not the flesh's rain developing possibly heavy South wester is
• 20:31
  Speaker 12: developing a high of eleven today.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: Have a good day, Thanks Callum, Claire Shechrewards and christ Church. Clear,
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: you've got a new board game to tell us about.
• 20:37
  Speaker 13: Well I do? This is all about making investment a
• 20:40
  Speaker 13: family affair, Ryan So. A former canterorbur University student, Ali Kennedy,
• 20:45
  Speaker 13: is now taking pre orders for this crowdfunded game, which
• 20:48
  Speaker 13: is called sheer Nanigans. It aims to teach children and
• 20:51
  Speaker 13: families about investing. Kennedy says this idea came about after
• 20:55
  Speaker 13: she realized that knowledge on market investment wasn't always passed down. Says,
• 21:00
  Speaker 13: investing in cheers has long been seen as complicated and
• 21:03
  Speaker 13: very exclusive, and she thought a conversation starter piece was needed.
• 21:07
  Speaker 13: So that's where Sheananigan's came about. It's all about wanting
• 21:12
  Speaker 13: to solve the problem of getting to a certain age
• 21:14
  Speaker 13: and creating perceived barriers on who and what it takes
• 21:17
  Speaker 13: to invest.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: What a great idea, Clear, that sounds like a really
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: good is it out yet? The game?
• 21:22
  Speaker 13: Pre orders are open, so she's raised forty thousand dollars
• 21:25
  Speaker 13: to get it off the ground and now you can
• 21:27
  Speaker 13: pre order.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: Shehan Hanigan's fantastic. I think a lot of people might.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: How's your weather today, Claire.
• 21:32
  Speaker 13: Nice in christ find with a bit of high cloud,
• 21:34
  Speaker 13: could be a spot of rain this evening, northwesterlies and
• 21:37
  Speaker 13: high of nineteen enjoy.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Max told and Wellington some good and bad news on
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: the business front there, Max.
• 21:43
  Speaker 14: Yes, Starting with the bad. Another cafe closing in the city,
• 21:46
  Speaker 14: Cafe Classic in the Thorndon area, quite popular with diplomats,
• 21:50
  Speaker 14: apparently just behind the New World near Parliament. Thirteen years
• 21:54
  Speaker 14: in business. It's blaming more people working from home and
• 21:57
  Speaker 14: recent job cuts in the public sector. Actually good news though.
• 22:00
  Speaker 14: The City Council yesterday approved plans for a New Year's
• 22:03
  Speaker 14: Eve street festival that's going to see Courtney Place and
• 22:07
  Speaker 14: a few side streets shut down that night live music performers,
• 22:11
  Speaker 14: So we'll see about that. A lot of debate about
• 22:13
  Speaker 14: Wellington's economy at the moment, a lot of factors being blamed.
• 22:16
  Speaker 14: An interesting quote from the mayor to us this week.
• 22:19
  Speaker 14: She said we were apparently in a tough transition period.
• 22:22
  Speaker 14: But in the next ten years we will finally see
• 22:25
  Speaker 14: huge things bring people back to the city. So there
• 22:28
  Speaker 14: you go, we only have to wait ten years.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're all believing that. Actually we asked Toriy Fano
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: on the program today not available, how's your weather today, Max.
• 22:38
  Speaker 14: Party, cloudy fourteen, the high Central.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Neva's and Auckland.
• 22:42
  Speaker 15: Neva did you not want to get up? I talked
• 22:45
  Speaker 15: to you, ran what's going on?
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: The thing is, I do know it is early. It
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: is an early show, so you know, not everybody will
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: be awake and up and adam, not like us. But
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: when people when the headlines are your city is literally dying,
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: I would have thought you'd you'd want to get up,
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: set an alarm, get your face mask off, your eyemask off,
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: and get out there in front of a mic. Neither
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: the check in counters at Auckland Airport, Yes, no, this.
• 23:09
  Speaker 15: Is quite interesting. So the chicken desks, now, this is
• 23:12
  Speaker 15: at Auckland International Airport and they're going to be phased out.
• 23:16
  Speaker 15: So over the next few years, the existing I think
• 23:19
  Speaker 15: there's about one hundred of them, the in person desks,
• 23:22
  Speaker 15: they will be replaced with self service kiosks and bag drops.
• 23:27
  Speaker 15: So Scott Tasker, he's the airport chief customer officer. He says, Look,
• 23:30
  Speaker 15: this is going to save travelers at least thirteen minutes
• 23:34
  Speaker 15: across the check in process. The upgrade, it's going to
• 23:37
  Speaker 15: be done in stages, with the first in place by
• 23:39
  Speaker 15: this summer. But you can just see those bag drop
• 23:43
  Speaker 15: offs that's going to be where everybody the queues. You're
• 23:47
  Speaker 15: gonna have all those big heavy bags that are over
• 23:48
  Speaker 15: twenty kg.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: I know, what are you going to do? And no
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: one ever has himself ready at the airport.
• 23:54
  Speaker 9: Now, No they don't, you know.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: And people who wear lots of jewelry and belts and everything,
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: I'm like, just wear I mean, I hate to say,
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: but just wear track pants and slippers because that you
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: can get them off quickly. We can all get through
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: the X rays.
• 24:06
  Speaker 15: I thought I was the only one that I totally agree.
• 24:09
  Speaker 15: I'm like you because when I'm standing there, I'm thinking, oh,
• 24:11
  Speaker 15: but and people will need help and even just scanning
• 24:14
  Speaker 15: their passport, you know, like even when you go into
• 24:16
  Speaker 15: Australia and I'm thinking, you know, I'm standing in line
• 24:18
  Speaker 15: and someone's you know, like putting the passport upside down on.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: Hurry up. If you can't scan your own passport at
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: an airport, you don't deserve to fly. How's the weather, Neva.
• 24:28
  Speaker 15: Fine to start becoming cloudy this morning? Sixteen's the high
• 24:32
  Speaker 15: and you see that, Torri fin. I wouldn't come this
• 24:34
  Speaker 15: morning and talk to you.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: Oh, no, voice of reason, honestly, seventeen to.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Six International correspondence with ends in eye insurance, peace of
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: I promised I would tell you.
• 24:47
  Speaker 16: So.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: The Property Council of New Zealand has released their reports.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: They say that property is the property sector is the
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: number one industry in New Zealand, number one sector, fifty
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: billion dollars. It's worth that's up twenty five billion dollars
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: since twenty twelve. It accounts for fifteen percent of GDP, Manufacturing,
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: ten agriculture, forestry and fishing, six health seven percent. So
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: they are saying this is commercial, residential, retail and industrial markets.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: They are saying it is the number one industry in news.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: Then I suppose they would, wouldn't They just gone fourteen
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: away from six and Mitch mccanna's stateside for US this
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: morning MTCH a nine to eleven memorial in New York City.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, Good morning, Ryan.
• 25:28
  Speaker 16: Today marks twenty three years since the nine eleven attacks
• 25:31
  Speaker 16: killed almost three thousand people across the United States and
• 25:35
  Speaker 16: the number of sites and is the case every year,
• 25:38
  Speaker 16: people gather to remember those killed and hold moments of
• 25:41
  Speaker 16: silence at those various sites where the attacks happened, including
• 25:45
  Speaker 16: at the site of the World Trade Center here in
• 25:47
  Speaker 16: New York this morning. There was one point of install
• 25:49
  Speaker 16: this morning's commemorations here where one of the family members
• 25:52
  Speaker 16: speaking seem displeased at President Joe Biden, who, when speaking
• 25:56
  Speaker 16: with reporters yesterday was outlining his schedule for the week.
• 26:00
  Speaker 16: He said tomorrow, I'm doing nine to eleven, referring to
• 26:03
  Speaker 16: his attendance at Ground Zero. Now, the wife of one
• 26:06
  Speaker 16: of the victims, while on the podium described it as
• 26:09
  Speaker 16: a flippant remark. He said he was doing nine to
• 26:11
  Speaker 16: eleven and said, please remember that September eleven. Families lived
• 26:15
  Speaker 16: this every day and a number of politicians were in
• 26:17
  Speaker 16: attendance this morning, including Kamala Harrison, Donald Trump, who had
• 26:21
  Speaker 16: another chance to shake hands.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: Well that's nice, isn't it. The suspect in a California
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: wildfire has been arrested. Yeah, that's right.
• 26:31
  Speaker 16: Three major wildfires are raging across southern California at the
• 26:34
  Speaker 16: moment and are threatening up to sixty five thousand homes,
• 26:37
  Speaker 16: according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Prevention.
• 26:41
  Speaker 16: Right now, Ryan, there are two thousand firefighters, two hundred
• 26:44
  Speaker 16: fire engines, as well as firefighting aircraft working on displays,
• 26:48
  Speaker 16: and I've sent in a National Guard to help fight
• 26:51
  Speaker 16: the fire as well. A thirty four year old man
• 26:53
  Speaker 16: has now been arrested and suspected of arson. Important to notice,
• 26:57
  Speaker 16: while officials say this morning, twelve fighters have been injured
• 27:00
  Speaker 16: so far.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: All right, thanks so much for that. That is Mitch McCann,
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: us correspondent with us from New York City this morning,
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: just gone twelve away from.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Six Ryan Bridge.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: Now, you might be wondering what do the American people
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: think of the debate last night. Henry Olsen is a
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: famous polster and Washington Post columnist who is joining us
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: to break down exactly what the reaction has been. Just
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: want to read one reaction from one of our listeners
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: this morning, though, And I wonder how they feel about it.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: That misogynistic, illiterate, adulterous, inarticulate, fat, golf hacking, university degree cheating,
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: climate change challenged, stupid, culturalist, clueless, clown face painted, comb
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: over wearing Fallon can't string a coherent sentence together and
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: sounds like a five year old. Thank you very much
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: for that, Marie. Let's go to Henry Olsen, who is
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: in Washington, DC for US this morning. Henry, thank you
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: for being on the show. What are people thinking? What
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: are people saying?
• 27:59
  Speaker 9: Generally, people say that Harris cleaned Trump's clock, that Trump
• 28:02
  Speaker 9: was impulsive, negative, and failed to make his points, while
• 28:07
  Speaker 9: Harris was good enough. And the fact that seems to
• 28:13
  Speaker 9: be uniform from conservatives to progressives suggests that that's pretty
• 28:19
  Speaker 9: much what viewers saw.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: To Will it translate from what we know about previous debates,
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: will it translate into extra votes from swing voters?
• 28:31
  Speaker 9: Well, that's the sixty four thousand dollars question. In the
• 28:35
  Speaker 9: past debates in the modern earrow, meaning like in the
• 28:38
  Speaker 9: last twenty years, have had some effect, but not a
• 28:40
  Speaker 9: huge effect. Of course, this race is so close that
• 28:43
  Speaker 9: even some effect could transform Harris into a slight underdog
• 28:47
  Speaker 9: into a slight favorite. I think it could, but we
• 28:50
  Speaker 9: won't know for another week ten days until bulls come out.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: Tell us about the swing states, the battlegrounds Wisconsin and Michigan.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: I was reading used to the polls. They have consistently
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: understated support for Trump. That happened in twenty sixteen, happened
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: in twenty twenty. Is that happening now? And could that
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: mean that we can't rely on the polls as they
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: are today for those battlegrounds.
• 29:17
  Speaker 9: I think that's accurate that polls have traditionally and consistently
• 29:21
  Speaker 9: underestimated Republican support in those states. That's also underestimated Republican
• 29:27
  Speaker 9: support in North Carolina. That in twenty twenty, polls showed
• 29:31
  Speaker 9: that Donald Trump would lose North Carolina and the Democrat
• 29:34
  Speaker 9: would win the Senate seat. The fact is Republicans won
• 29:37
  Speaker 9: the Senate seat and Trump won by about a point
• 29:39
  Speaker 9: and a half to two points. I would look more
• 29:42
  Speaker 9: at the national polls than I would at the state
• 29:45
  Speaker 9: level polls because there's a pretty clear relationship between state
• 29:50
  Speaker 9: voting habits and national results. And the national results show,
• 29:56
  Speaker 9: as Nate Silver points out on his Silver bulletin, so
• 30:00
  Speaker 9: that if the election had been held yesterday, before the debate,
• 30:04
  Speaker 9: Donald Trump would have been the favorite to win the
• 30:07
  Speaker 9: electoral college. We'll see in a week or so whether
• 30:10
  Speaker 9: that's still the case.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: All right, interesting, We will wait and see for those numbers.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: And in the meantime, I guess just remember that it
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: is largely all noise. Henry, thank you for that. That's
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: Henry Olsen with us. He is a polster in the
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: United States, a Washington Post columnist, and obviously an expert
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: on exactly how you look at the popular vote versus
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: the electoral college and who that might put ahead. It
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: is nine minutes away from Sex News Talks.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Heb the first word on the News of the Day
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: Beds and a play at store News Talk ZIBB.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: Seven away from Sex News Talk B. The reason that
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: Pennsylvania is such an important state of all the swing states,
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: it's the they call them, they call it the King
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: among the swings, because it's got nine ten electoral college
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: votes that you can get. So there's about half a
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: dozen of the really close battleground states, and that is
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: the one you want to get because it adds up
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: to you probably need three of the others to get
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: Pennsylvania's numbers right. So that's why it's so important. That's
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: why they're all going out for the auto workers. As
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: Karmla Harris was in the debate yesterday, lots of feedback
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: coming in on the debates, lots of people saying that
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: it was disappointing because they were just going after each other,
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: you know, helpful leather gift cards. Did you know last
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: night our Parliament here in New Zealand very sensibly passed
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: a bill which would mean there is a minimum expiry
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: date of your gift cards of three years. So that's
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: great news because you know a year is just not
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: long enough, is it. Don't go celebrating just yet because
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: it won't come in for eighteen months, so it won't
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: affect any gift cards that you currently have. It's only
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: ones that will be purchased after eighteen months. I want
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: to know whether they should look at Lotto because Lotto
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: your ticket expires after a year, doesn't it. Why how's
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: that fair? So anyway, there's something for Dan Bidwar I
• 32:07

  Speaker 5: was how prevalent is the gift card?
• 32:22
  Speaker 8: Now?
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: I haven't received one for a very long time, and
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: I thought the general discussion was that if you gave
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: somebody a gift card, it showed a lack of imagination,
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: that you put no thought into anything. I'll get them
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: a gift card.

  Speaker 3: She's a loving mother, but she knows that I'm quite fussy,
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: so if she buys me something that I don't like
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: and won't use, And I'm not.
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: Against the gift card personally because for that exact reason,
• 32:49

• 32:52
  Speaker 5: business of what do you want? And they go I
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: want this, and you go, absolutely no problem, you go
