Speaker 1: The issues, the interviews and the insight Ryan Bridge on
0:05
Speaker 1: earlier this ship with are the Supercenter, explore are these
0:09
Speaker 1: successories and servicing all than one news talks sai'd be.
0:12
Speaker 2: Good morning, Welcome to Monday. We'll look at the turn
0:14
Speaker 2: up for the local elections at the weekend. Spoiler alert
0:16
Speaker 2: wasn't great. We'll go to the UK starmers off to
0:19
Speaker 2: Egypt for Gaza talks. Beef and Lamb on the methane
0:21
Speaker 2: target Andrew here on Bathurston. What's happening with your road
0:24
Speaker 2: cone tip line? The agenda Monday to thirty of October,
0:29
Speaker 2: all twenty living hostages should be returned to Israel this
0:32
Speaker 2: evening our time, two thousand detainees and Gaza will go
0:36
Speaker 2: the other way. The President of Israel's been meeting with
0:38
Speaker 2: the family.
0:39
Speaker 3: The hostages were well, Shad tears and received our sons
0:42
Speaker 3: and doctor back home as soon as possible, where their
0:46
Speaker 3: family joined by their families. We will bereave the losses
0:50
Speaker 3: of our heroes and went to fight and saved their brothers.
0:53
Speaker 3: As sisters and defenderstent of Israel, we will hug those well.
0:58
Speaker 2: We carry the warns, but what physical condition will they
1:02
Speaker 2: be in the hospitals are standing by.
1:04
Speaker 4: Since we do not know the exact medical or mental condition.
1:09
Speaker 4: The health system is ready for every possible scenario, including
1:14
Speaker 4: careful monitoring under the refeeding protocol based on lessons from
1:18
Speaker 4: past return operations.
1:20
Speaker 2: Trump he's busy doing victory lapse and should be in
1:23
Speaker 2: Israel this evening. Meanwhile, Vance is on the defense over
1:26
Speaker 2: sending National Guard troops into Chicago.
1:28
Speaker 5: You know, the gross majority of the violent crime in
1:30
Speaker 5: that city is committed by a very tiny fraction of
1:32
Speaker 5: the population. Why shouldn't federal troops empower the people in
1:37
Speaker 5: Chicago to live safe lives when the governor and the
1:41
Speaker 5: local mayor just simply refuse to do their job.
1:44
Speaker 2: Well because the court said you couldn't. Finally, it appears
1:46
Speaker 2: Prince Andrew Old Randy Andy's being dragged back into the
1:50
Speaker 2: Epstein thing. The Sun newspaper has apparently got their hands
1:53
Speaker 2: on an email from Andrew to Epstein in twenty eleven
1:56
Speaker 2: saying we're in this together.
1:58
Speaker 3: Now.
1:58
Speaker 2: You remember from the infamous Sweaty interview That wasn't sweaty,
2:03
Speaker 2: he said he cut him off in twenty ten by
2:05
Speaker 2: mutual agreement.
2:06
Speaker 6: During that walk in the park we decided that we
2:09
Speaker 6: would part company and I left. I think it was
2:11
Speaker 6: the next day to this day, I never had any
2:15
Speaker 6: contact with him from that day forward.
2:19
Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iheard Radio Early Edition
2:23
Speaker 1: with Ryan Bridge and are the Supercenter explore r v's
2:27
Speaker 1: accessories and servicing Paul in one news talks.
2:30
Speaker 2: I'd be ad after five on your Monday morning, great
2:32
Speaker 2: to have your company. Nine two nine two the number
2:34
Speaker 2: to text. I went to the movies on Friday afternoon,
2:37
Speaker 2: saw one battle after another. Have you seen that'scot Leonardo DiCaprio.
2:41
Speaker 2: It's three hours long, just a warning. Didn't quite realize
2:44
Speaker 2: that going in, but it was a great movie. It
2:46
Speaker 2: was a good movie, but weird, but good movie anyway,
2:50
Speaker 2: went early and watched the Shorts, which is filled with advertisements,
2:55
Speaker 2: and you don't really see many full, you know, big
2:58
Speaker 2: TV ads these days because you don't watch a lot
3:00
Speaker 2: of traditional TV anyway. Ads for KFC. You'll be pleased
3:06
Speaker 2: to know they've got a new Katsu sort of rice,
3:11
Speaker 2: bit of rice, bit of chicken, bit of cultural appropriation
3:15
Speaker 2: from KFC. Well done. So that was interesting to learn.
3:18
Speaker 2: Burger Fuel's got a new burger out and sandwich between
3:22
Speaker 2: these ads was one for WAYGOVI you know, the weight
3:25
Speaker 2: loss drug. And I was just sitting there thinking, Wow,
3:27
Speaker 2: what a weird world we live in where we say,
3:30
Speaker 2: on the one hand, go and eat all this fried
3:32
Speaker 2: food and then take this injection and it all goes away.
3:36
Speaker 2: But it's being accepted now. It's a way to solve
3:38
Speaker 2: a major health problem. Costs US billions, kills people, makes
3:43
Speaker 2: them sick, and people are now saying you should fund
3:47
Speaker 2: this publicly, which I'm not entirely against, to be honest.
3:49
Speaker 2: Imagine how much you would save society and hospitals if
3:52
Speaker 2: you funded it publicly. And it's using, basically, in its essence,
3:56
Speaker 2: using technology to fix a problem without the underlying cause,
4:02
Speaker 2: which is eating too much and not exercising. But we're
4:06
Speaker 2: okay with this. Who cares? If the outcomes the same,
4:10
Speaker 2: we have to do something, then why not? And then
4:15
Speaker 2: Sunday comes along and I'm thinking, why is it any
4:17
Speaker 2: different with climate change? Government comes out yesterday and says
4:22
Speaker 2: here's a target. We can have our cake and eat
4:25
Speaker 2: it too. We can reduce emissions, we can solve the
4:27
Speaker 2: problem using new technologies. You know, your fertilizers, your genetics,
4:33
Speaker 2: feed the cows seaweed, that kind of stuff without addressing
4:37
Speaker 2: the underlying cause, which is intensive dairy farming. To me,
4:40
Speaker 2: this also sounds reasonable if we can reduce emissions over
4:44
Speaker 2: time using technology rather than cutting production, cutting your nose
4:48
Speaker 2: despite your face, why wouldn't we To me, feeding cows
4:52
Speaker 2: seaweed is no different to you know, Joe blogs jabbing
4:56
Speaker 2: himself with Wagovi. The number to Texas gone eleven. After five,
5:02
Speaker 2: we'll go to Andrew Ortison the sport. That bath is
5:05
Speaker 2: very messy, but a key. We came out on top.
5:07
Speaker 2: That's what we like.
5:09
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge on early edition with r V super Center
5:13
Speaker 1: explore r v's accessories and servicing all in one news talks.
5:17
Speaker 2: I'd be it was very dramatic, very chaotic, very wet,
5:20
Speaker 2: but kiwi. Matt Paine has taken out Bathurst. He started
5:23
Speaker 2: the race eighteenth and gotten the lead with five lamps
5:26
Speaker 2: to go. Here's the winning moment for you from the
5:28
Speaker 2: weekend and.
5:29
Speaker 4: The victory five.
5:40
Speaker 7: I believe him.
5:41
Speaker 3: I come.
5:43
Speaker 2: Wow, Yes, certainly was someone crashed and basically he got
5:48
Speaker 2: ahead and on time too. He was loving it.
5:51
Speaker 8: It's pretty amazing, you know, when when we woke up
5:55
Speaker 8: this morning starting eighteenth. I definitely knew it made our
5:58
Speaker 8: race card better, and we also didn't know that it
6:02
Speaker 8: was probably going to be the majority in the wet
6:03
Speaker 8: so it was going to be a tough afternoon. But yeah,
6:06
Speaker 8: State call, it's it's just I'm so happy to win
6:10
Speaker 8: this race. Is a ki it's pretty sure.
6:12
Speaker 2: Congratulations, very cool, and he is the sixth key we
6:14
Speaker 2: to do that. Scott McLachlin, Van Gisberg and Murphy and
6:19
Speaker 2: the two Richard's Jim and Steven Bryan bred Government's cut
6:23
Speaker 2: methane reduction targets. They say it's science based. The range
6:26
Speaker 2: is now fourteen to twenty four percent below twenty seventeen
6:29
Speaker 2: levels by twenty fifty. A lot of numbers in there.
6:33
Speaker 2: Fourteen to twenty four is the one you need to remember.
6:35
Speaker 2: It was twenty four to forty seven percent reduction, so
6:40
Speaker 2: the upper ends basically have Kate Ackland, is chair at
6:42
Speaker 2: Beefer Named New Zealand, joins me. Now morning, Kate, Morning,
6:45
Speaker 2: Ryan's good to have you on the show.
6:47
Speaker 9: Now.
6:47
Speaker 2: The government, yessay said we would have had farms shutting down,
6:50
Speaker 2: farmers going out of business if we had kept the
6:53
Speaker 2: old targets. Is that overblowing it or is that true
6:57
Speaker 2: in how many No.
6:59
Speaker 10: Look, that's absolut don't be true. So, you know, modeling
7:01
Speaker 10: suggested under what was previously proposed, we were looking at
7:05
Speaker 10: about twenty percent of our sheep and beef farms and
7:07
Speaker 10: I think about six or seven percent of our dairy
7:09
Speaker 10: farms would need to shut down to meet those targets,
7:13
Speaker 10: and even then it would be a stretch. So, look,
7:17
Speaker 10: this is great news for farming, it's great news for
7:19
Speaker 10: New Zealand. Actually, you know, these are science based targets
7:23
Speaker 10: on the impact of warming. It's agriculture doing its peace,
7:28
Speaker 10: but it's still maintaining what's a really important industry for
7:30
Speaker 10: New Zealand.
7:31
Speaker 2: What's the bigger impact here the fact that there's no
7:34
Speaker 2: ets or that there is a reduction in the target.
7:39
Speaker 10: Oh, look, I think both. I mean the threat of
7:42
Speaker 10: a tax on emissions or you know, a tax on
7:44
Speaker 10: a missions from food production is something that's been hanging
7:47
Speaker 10: over farmers for a number of years and it's been
7:49
Speaker 10: sucking a lot of confidence out of the rural sector.
7:52
Speaker 10: So I think giving farmers sort of confidence and that
7:56
Speaker 10: you know, they're not going to face that price, that
7:57
Speaker 10: they can invest in their businesses and grow their businesses
8:00
Speaker 10: and you know, improve things and spend money in their
8:03
Speaker 10: local communities. That's a really positive thing. The reduction and targets,
8:09
Speaker 10: of course, you know that's something we've been calling for
8:11
Speaker 10: for a long time, so that's also really positive.
8:14
Speaker 2: Okay, does it risk this is what labors come out
8:16
Speaker 2: and said overnight. Does it risk our UK EU markets?
8:21
Speaker 2: You know they have strong climate pledges in them. Do
8:24
Speaker 2: you worry as farmers that you will actually, you know,
8:28
Speaker 2: cut your nose off to spite your face.
8:30
Speaker 10: No, look, absolutely not. We still have our international commitments.
8:36
Speaker 10: What we do in New Zealand is a different thing. Actually,
8:40
Speaker 10: what the targets the government's put in place are in
8:43
Speaker 10: line with what most of the rest of the world
8:45
Speaker 10: is doing. So almost every other country in the world
8:48
Speaker 10: is not looking to tax or penalize farmers. That's actually
8:51
Speaker 10: looking to incentivize farmers. It's got targets that you know,
8:55
Speaker 10: a lot of the rest of the world has targets
8:56
Speaker 10: that are in line with what New Zealand's proposed. So
8:59
Speaker 10: what this, you know, what yesterday's announcement has done is
9:02
Speaker 10: it's actually bought New Zealand in line with most of
9:04
Speaker 10: the rest of the world.
9:06
Speaker 2: Do most farmers back the Paris Agreement or do they
9:09
Speaker 2: want out?
9:11
Speaker 8: Oh?
9:11
Speaker 10: Look, there's quite a mixed feel out there. And you know, ultimately,
9:14
Speaker 10: we are a trading nation and most farmers realize that
9:18
Speaker 10: our trading relationships are critical.
9:21
Speaker 2: What's the deal with Fonterras having the Fonterra but also
9:25
Speaker 2: you know silver fern farms. They all have their own targets,
9:28
Speaker 2: their own goals. From what I could see, Fonterra's was
9:31
Speaker 2: actually far more ambitious than this one. How does that
9:36
Speaker 2: change now that the government's target changes? Do you think
9:39
Speaker 2: these big companies change their targets too, and then that
9:42
Speaker 2: has an effect on farmers or.
9:44
Speaker 10: What Look, what these commercial companies do is entirely up
9:49
Speaker 10: to them, and you know, there's nothing to stop them
9:51
Speaker 10: having targets. If I've got customers or markets that have
9:55
Speaker 10: higher ambition and they want to reward farmers to meet
9:58
Speaker 10: those and that's a great thing, and that can be
10:00
Speaker 10: quite separate from what is a legislative target. So you know,
10:04
Speaker 10: both can happen. And I think what we may start
10:07
Speaker 10: to see as we may start to see these companies
10:09
Speaker 10: rewarding farmers if they have specific customers that are wanting
10:14
Speaker 10: those really a lower mission product.
10:17
Speaker 2: Appreciate your time. Kate Ackland, chair of Beef and Lamb,
10:19
Speaker 2: New Zealand. Time is eighteen minutes after five. You're on
10:22
Speaker 2: News Talks. B will get to Andrew with Sport next, the.
10:25
Speaker 1: News you need this morning and the in depth analysis
10:29
Speaker 1: earlier edition with Ryan Freede and are the Supercenter explore
10:33
Speaker 1: are these accessories and servicing all in one.
10:36
Speaker 2: News Talks that'd be five twenty on News Talks there'd
10:38
Speaker 2: be hey, Ryan ed the way go v drugs you're
10:41
Speaker 2: talking about don't need public funding. With the high price
10:44
Speaker 2: of food, they won't. No one will be able to
10:45
Speaker 2: afford to eat these things soon. Well McDonald's, all of
10:49
Speaker 2: those things are still very expensive and people are still
10:52
Speaker 2: buying them. By the way, overnight they published the Global
10:56
Speaker 2: Burden of Disease study. Don't worry, it's good news. It's
10:58
Speaker 2: good news for us at least, and this is published
11:03
Speaker 2: in the Lancet overnight. So from in terms of age,
11:07
Speaker 2: the average age we will live to, it's currently seventy
11:11
Speaker 2: six point three. This is globally seventy six point three
11:13
Speaker 2: years for women and seventy one for men. That is
11:17
Speaker 2: twenty years higher than in nineteen fifty. So for all
11:21
Speaker 2: of the things we complain about in the world, and
11:23
Speaker 2: you know it's goin of hell and a hand basket,
11:26
Speaker 2: we're living much longer. Healthcare is better, poverty has reduced,
11:31
Speaker 2: you know, commerce is working. In New Zealand, we actually
11:36
Speaker 2: top the scales. So men will live to an average
11:38
Speaker 2: age of about eighty and women to an average age
11:41
Speaker 2: of about eighty three. Now here's the kicker, and this
11:43
Speaker 2: is why we're talking about wagovi and stuff. Half of
11:47
Speaker 2: the deaths in the world right now are completely preventable smoking,
11:52
Speaker 2: obesity and air pollution. Two Andrew Llison's here was sport,
11:57
Speaker 2: Good morning, willing.
11:58
Speaker 11: Rit make me feel more alive after That's that great
12:01
Speaker 11: news invigorated. Yes, yes, sports spring on the step.
12:04
Speaker 2: Sport will solve half of these problems.
12:08
Speaker 11: Well, well, if you're Matt Pain, that's that's a terrific
12:11
Speaker 11: victory at Batheast for him king of the mountain, and
12:15
Speaker 11: he's pulled somewhat unkindly. I think on I think a
12:17
Speaker 11: head on Channel seven described as the Stephen Bradbury effort
12:21
Speaker 11: in relation to the speed skater who I think one
12:25
Speaker 11: one in the Winter Games when all the others fell
12:28
Speaker 11: off the track, but he snecked through and he's done it.
12:31
Speaker 2: They've come from eighteen and they've won the race. A
12:35
Speaker 2: few crashes wet, Yeah, I.
12:38
Speaker 11: Mean, did you see they're back into that?
12:40
Speaker 12: You not?
12:41
Speaker 11: But means zero visibility really minimal, and I mean at
12:45
Speaker 11: those sort of speeds, that's that's a tremendous effort, just
12:48
Speaker 11: just about to hold on in those circumstances. And you
12:52
Speaker 11: see these guys crashing off every now and again. Highlight
12:54
Speaker 11: for me probably chairs most it going off and going
12:58
Speaker 11: over the fence and cracking open a beer with some
13:00
Speaker 11: of the locals. It's mostered for PM. Now apparently that
13:04
Speaker 11: gets you right up there, sort of Bob Hawks standards.
13:06
Speaker 2: Very cool. Anyway, have you got the NBC semi finals set? Now?
13:10
Speaker 2: We have?
13:11
Speaker 11: We have so Canabry up against Hawk's Bay it Tago
13:13
Speaker 11: against Bay, have plenty, but what circumstances to finish it
13:16
Speaker 11: in for Canterbury, I mean level with Candies Monacaw of course,
13:20
Speaker 11: who lost their first five games, won their last five
13:23
Speaker 11: up against Canterbury in the quarter final and yeah, fifteen
13:26
Speaker 11: all after four times I went to one hundred minutes
13:28
Speaker 11: with the extra time in Canterbury pulling it off Shaffie
13:31
Speaker 11: Hackey with a try in a penalty.
13:32
Speaker 2: He featured pretty heavily as well.
13:34
Speaker 11: Towards the end they are attempting I think forty k
13:37
Speaker 11: wins behind him a seventy two penalty which would have
13:42
Speaker 11: been one tremendous effort but didn't quite go the distance.
13:45
Speaker 2: But they won anyway. They won anyway, and the Women's
13:47
Speaker 2: Cricket World Cup. You've got an updoat for us.
13:49
Speaker 11: I have, yes, dramatic. We've just seen the dismissal of
13:54
Speaker 11: Elisa Healy catch a cover point by Sneer Rada, so
13:58
Speaker 11: that's been pretty crucial. She's out for one hundred and
14:00
Speaker 11: forty two. They're chasing three thirty one Australia. Just recently
14:03
Speaker 11: I was looking at it. They were what twos sixty
14:05
Speaker 11: five four of the thirty night that's probably chased a
14:08
Speaker 11: little bit now, but they're tracking along towards that target.
14:12
Speaker 11: But still it's it's quite a game, making quite a
14:14
Speaker 11: game of it.
14:14
Speaker 2: Certainly sounds like it appreciate that. Thank you, Andrew Ortison
14:17
Speaker 2: was public for us this morning. It is twenty four
14:19
Speaker 2: minutes after five News Talks. They'd be on your Monday morning.
14:22
Speaker 2: We'll talk to the New Zealand Initiative just before six
14:25
Speaker 2: about the low vote turnout seventy percent of us this week.
14:28
Speaker 2: Now it can't be bothered. Why did we do that?
14:30
Speaker 2: That is a very important question. One will try and
14:32
Speaker 2: answer it well next and actually before six twenty four,
14:35
Speaker 2: after five.
14:36
Speaker 1: The early edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio power By
14:40
Speaker 1: News Talks.
14:40
Speaker 10: They'd be.
14:42
Speaker 2: Five twenty six news Talks. They'd be. If the Coalition
14:45
Speaker 2: was looking for an endorsement of its rates cap idea,
14:47
Speaker 2: then they got it. At the weekend of the eighteen
14:50
Speaker 2: councils that whacked rate players will double digit hikes this year.
14:55
Speaker 2: Thirteen elected new mayors, thirteen of the eighteen High ten
15:00
Speaker 2: council mayors. Gone Newsroom has great coverage of the results
15:04
Speaker 2: over the weekend. I don't know if you saw that,
15:06
Speaker 2: but Mackindo one Hamilton, if the name sounds familiar to you,
15:09
Speaker 2: he's a former National MP. Rates rowse there forty one
15:13
Speaker 2: percent in three years, So go figure. Voters aren't stupid
15:17
Speaker 2: and they should never be taken for granted. Rates hikes
15:20
Speaker 2: are driving domestic inflation. We know this not only do
15:24
Speaker 2: you pay more to your council, you also pay more
15:28
Speaker 2: in interest rates because it helps keep them higher. It's
15:30
Speaker 2: a double burn in the back pocket and voters know this.
15:33
Speaker 2: Ratepayers know this, and next to your taxpayers will remember it.
15:37
Speaker 2: Our most important city councils in Auckland, christ Church and
15:40
Speaker 2: Hamilton sorry Wellington, are now led by right of center meyors.
15:45
Speaker 2: The results speak for themselves, but their problem of courses
15:48
Speaker 2: that these results are a very small sample size. Seventy
15:52
Speaker 2: percent of us roughly didn't bother voting, and you can
15:56
Speaker 2: ask ten pundits why and you will get ten different answers.
16:00
Speaker 2: But I think the problem is pretty simple. The size
16:02
Speaker 2: and scope of local government is completely out of control
16:07
Speaker 2: in a small Pacific island nation at the bottom of
16:09
Speaker 2: the world. We just elected fifteen hundred people to sit
16:14
Speaker 2: around on seventy eight different councils. Mayors are one vote
16:21
Speaker 2: at the table, so they aren't really that special. Low
16:24
Speaker 2: turnout is not a rejection of the candidates. I don't
16:27
Speaker 2: think it's a rejection of the whole system. It's too big,
16:30
Speaker 2: there's too much compromise. It's all who know dew we
16:33
Speaker 2: If the coalition listens to the thirty percent who did
16:36
Speaker 2: vote and caps rates, which they are going to do.
16:39
Speaker 2: They ought to listen to the overwhelming silent majority who didn't,
16:43
Speaker 2: and that means throwing entire councils I think in the bin.
16:48
Speaker 2: Chuck them in the rubbish. Have the number of councilors
16:52
Speaker 2: that remain and give the mayor a veto power vote
16:55
Speaker 2: so there's actually accountability and there's a vision and something
16:59
Speaker 2: worth voting. Four the lowest voter turnout in thirty six
17:04
Speaker 2: years is a mandate for change and change looks like
17:06
Speaker 2: a giant local government bonfire. Bryan Bridge, twenty nine after five.
17:11
Speaker 2: If you didn't vote at the weekend, I'd love to
17:13
Speaker 2: know why. Nine two ninety two is the number we'll
17:15
Speaker 2: get to Gavin Gray in the UK after News News
17:18
Speaker 2: Talk SEBB.
17:38
Speaker 1: The first word on the news of the day early
17:40
Speaker 1: edition with Bryan Bridge and RV Super Center explore r
17:44
Speaker 1: v's accessories and servicing all in one News talksb.
17:53
Speaker 2: Twenty four away from six Here on News Talks SB,
17:55
Speaker 2: we'll look at voter turnout with the New Zealand initiative.
17:57
Speaker 2: Before six o'clock we're in the UK with Gavin Gray
17:59
Speaker 2: as old Ryan's hiss, Judy, I didn't vote because I
18:02
Speaker 2: couldn't find a candidate I liked another one, says I
18:05
Speaker 2: queued for twenty minutes that the library couldn't have bothered.
18:07
Speaker 2: We left. Halle Lujas, says Scott. Finally someone agrees with me.
18:13
Speaker 2: Get rid of the useless money wasting councils. Our entire
18:17
Speaker 2: economy is the size of Victoria and Australia for goodness sakes,
18:20
Speaker 2: and we waste millions on this. By the way, Scott
18:23
Speaker 2: didn't vote because he was out of the country, didn't
18:24
Speaker 2: get his papers in time. I think I think most
18:27
Speaker 2: people wouldn't have voted. And this is just my theory,
18:30
Speaker 2: but most people wouldn't have voted because it's too there's
18:33
Speaker 2: too many of them. Who are they? Who has a
18:36
Speaker 2: Nobody got the time to figure out who? You know,
18:38
Speaker 2: Carol Wilson is from jim Burger's and there's like twenty
18:42
Speaker 2: of them on your local council. And then there's a
18:45
Speaker 2: mayor who only gets one vote. Anyway, I mean, what's
18:47
Speaker 2: the point in that. The whole thing's stupid? I just
18:50
Speaker 2: think just just rip up and start again. Literally, and
18:53
Speaker 2: seventy percent of New Zealanders wouldn't even notice, wouldn't even care.
18:58
Speaker 2: Twenty three to six Graham bread Jar reporters around the
19:02
Speaker 2: country for the results. For those who did vote, Callum
19:04
Speaker 2: Proctor and Dneedan Calum good morning, your morning. Right, So
19:07
Speaker 2: Jules Radick's gone? Who's Sophie Barker.
19:10
Speaker 13: Sophie Barker is well, the previous deputy and now the
19:15
Speaker 13: mayor elect of duned And confirmation late last night actually
19:17
Speaker 13: of Dunedin's preliminary results, they confirm that Sophie Barker is
19:23
Speaker 13: now our new mayor elect, with an updated margin of
19:25
Speaker 13: more than seven hundred votes over second placed Andrew Simms. Here,
19:28
Speaker 13: the incumbent Jules Raddock came in third in the end.
19:31
Speaker 13: He'll remain on council, though he says he's celebrating his
19:34
Speaker 13: wins as mayor, including shifting the council's focus to infrastructure
19:39
Speaker 13: and doubling spending on water. Elsewhere in the South Go
19:43
Speaker 13: Mayor Ben Bal's been re elected after a tumultuous three years,
19:46
Speaker 13: and John Glover has unseated Glenn Lewis. In Queenstown, Tom
19:50
Speaker 13: Campbell's replaced outgoing Nobby Clarke and Inficargo all.
19:53
Speaker 2: Right, how's your wedding? Showers today?
19:56
Speaker 13: Possibly heavy in thundery this afternoon Easterly wins the High twelve.
20:00
Speaker 2: She's Callum clear and christ this morning Claire, Good morning.
20:03
Speaker 2: Major back in charge. Hasn't quite got the council he
20:05
Speaker 2: wanted those. Yeah, that's right.
20:07
Speaker 14: Phil Major has been re elected mayor with a decisive
20:09
Speaker 14: victory in the end over outgoing councilor Sarah Templeton. But
20:13
Speaker 14: the trouble is fulfilled Major. He'll once again leave a
20:16
Speaker 14: left leaning council. This was tipped to be a very
20:18
Speaker 14: tight race, but in the end Major walked away with
20:21
Speaker 14: twenty thousand more votes. News Talks he'd be was with
20:24
Speaker 14: Major in his living room after the results came through.
20:27
Speaker 14: He told us he would have liked counsel to look
20:29
Speaker 14: a bit different Cie, perhaps a little less left leaning,
20:32
Speaker 14: but it has worked for the past three years and
20:35
Speaker 14: he'll make it work again. Meanwhile, Counselor Lydia Glidden swept
20:39
Speaker 14: a power in Selwyn, unseating Sam Broughton in a landside
20:43
Speaker 14: victory Dan Gordon. He's been re elected in wy Marcaretti,
20:46
Speaker 14: while eighty two year old transgender woman Jackie Grant's been
20:50
Speaker 14: leading in Westland. She's on track to unseat Helen lash On.
20:54
Speaker 2: Very good. How's your weather?
20:56
Speaker 14: Some cloudy periods, a bit of scattered rain around midday
20:59
Speaker 14: nor the least turning east and we should make twenty
21:01
Speaker 14: degrees sheche is.
21:02
Speaker 2: Clear, sounds BARMI have a nice day mix in Wellington.
21:05
Speaker 2: Morning mes, good morning. Now what's the bigger story? Is
21:08
Speaker 2: that Tory or is it Andrew?
21:10
Speaker 15: Good question? You know, it could have been an interesting
21:12
Speaker 15: race had Torri Fano stayed in. Perhaps Ray Chung may
21:15
Speaker 15: have had a better shot. Perhaps that could have been
21:17
Speaker 15: said before his old gossiping ways came back to haunt him.
21:20
Speaker 15: I think Andrew dil would have still run, and once
21:22
Speaker 15: he announced he was running, I think it was effectively over.
21:24
Speaker 15: You talk about the rest of the country, but Wellington
21:27
Speaker 15: has shown itself to be a liberal town still Andrew
21:30
Speaker 15: little coasting home to the meryalty some success, I think
21:33
Speaker 15: in coming runner up for a local businessman, Kyle Tiefenbaker.
21:37
Speaker 15: But the two big stories I think are the left
21:38
Speaker 15: majority actually increasing at council level, a lot of Labour
21:42
Speaker 15: now around that table, Tory Fanner, of course not being
21:44
Speaker 15: able to win a seat at all defeated by Matthew
21:47
Speaker 15: at Aweti in the Marii Ward, the final hammer coming
21:50
Speaker 15: down on her Merylty finding it guilty of incompetence. Big
21:53
Speaker 15: local named Ken Laban winning a Lower Hut That wasn't surprising,
21:57
Speaker 15: But what was as well was Perry z. I'm told
22:01
Speaker 15: it's pronounced za, but I don't believe it looking at it.
22:04
Speaker 15: Beating the batter than Wayne Guppy was quite intriguing. She's
22:08
Speaker 15: Upperhat's first new mayor in twenty four years, campaigning on
22:11
Speaker 15: revitalizing the central city. What city there is? This central street?
22:16
Speaker 15: The central street, she says, is daying. People are going
22:18
Speaker 15: to Lower Hut to shop. She's an urban planner and
22:21
Speaker 15: transport advisors, so quite intriguing to see her beat Wayne
22:24
Speaker 15: Guppy there.
22:24
Speaker 2: Sadly is jeez, you pecked a lot in New Max.
22:26
Speaker 2: How's your weather?
22:28
Speaker 15: Cloudy, rainey, strong winds sixteen nice Jron, thank you, enjoy
22:32
Speaker 15: and Michael sergles with us in Auckland morning.
22:34
Speaker 2: Michael, good morning. Now you've been right across this all weekend,
22:37
Speaker 2: and Wayne Brown is back. Lots of new councilors in
22:40
Speaker 2: Auckland too.
22:41
Speaker 12: Yes, four councilors have retired and been replaced, and one
22:44
Speaker 12: of Wayne Brown's sort of endorsed candidates has replaced one
22:48
Speaker 12: of his opponents, so a quarter of the council will
22:51
Speaker 12: be new. Wayne Brown says he's ready to get a
22:54
Speaker 12: new team together. Elsewhere, former National Minister to Macando will
22:57
Speaker 12: be the new mayor of Hamilton and a blast from
22:59
Speaker 12: the part Nandal Tanjos remember him. Yeah, he's on track
23:02
Speaker 12: to be the new mayor of Fokatane.
23:05
Speaker 2: He's still got the same dreads. I think it's just
23:08
Speaker 2: sitting in a selectivity room. And this is when I
23:10
Speaker 2: was like very young and needs to go and watch
23:12
Speaker 2: parliament because I was a geek. And he was sitting
23:14
Speaker 2: there in a chair and he leaned back and his
23:17
Speaker 2: entire dread which he had up in like a bee
23:20
Speaker 2: hive thing, fell off his head onto the floor and
23:22
Speaker 2: he dragging it around the room, even puts it up,
23:26
Speaker 2: pops it back on. Anyway, Now he's a mayor.
23:29
Speaker 12: And he's actually campaigned for higher rates rises, so he's
23:31
Speaker 12: probably the only one of the country doing that.
23:33
Speaker 2: Wow.
23:34
Speaker 12: In terms of national trends, initial numbers show turn out
23:36
Speaker 12: hovering around that thirty three percent mark, but there are
23:38
Speaker 12: lots of late and special votes that will push that
23:41
Speaker 12: number up. Lots of really really close races. This selection
23:45
Speaker 12: in the far North, the top three candidates, there's just
23:48
Speaker 12: thirty one votes between those top three candidates, so it
23:51
Speaker 12: could go either way or any of those three ways
23:53
Speaker 12: in that particular race. Miyas who over saw large rate
23:56
Speaker 12: rises either opting to stand aside or being unseated. And
23:59
Speaker 12: lots of cases. More than half of me is who
24:02
Speaker 12: are now in charge of councils weren't in charge during
24:05
Speaker 12: the COVID pandemic went in charge more than three years ago.
24:08
Speaker 12: Only a handful of now been in the job more
24:10
Speaker 12: than six years. Okay, interesting, how's our weather shower is
24:13
Speaker 12: turning to rain this evening? Northwesterly's twenty two degrees?
24:16
Speaker 2: Michael, thank you. It is eighteen minutes away from six
24:18
Speaker 2: year on News Talk ZB. We'll get to it. I
24:20
Speaker 2: want to hear what then. I'm genuinely interested in what
24:23
Speaker 2: the New Zealand Initiative has to say about voter turnout.
24:25
Speaker 2: They have a couple of ideas which I don't necessarily
24:28
Speaker 2: agree with, about how you fix that, whether you should
24:30
Speaker 2: fix it. We'll get to Gavin Gray in the UK
24:32
Speaker 2: Next News Talk CREB it is caught it to six
24:35
Speaker 2: the road cone tip line that everyone was so hot
24:38
Speaker 2: for when it came out. Guess how many cones they've
24:41
Speaker 2: managed to remove? Two hundred two hundred cones. The tip
24:45
Speaker 2: line was launched in June and the government now says
24:49
Speaker 2: it may need to adapt its strategy for the war
24:51
Speaker 2: on road cones. In Huanganui apparently they actually had more cones.
24:56
Speaker 2: The tip line led to more cones being put out
24:59
Speaker 2: than taken away, which is not a great result. Is
25:02
Speaker 2: that if you're trying to get rid of some and
25:03
Speaker 2: Wellington one hundred and ten complaints made through the tip line?
25:07
Speaker 2: How many cones? Drum roll? Please did they move or remove?
25:11
Speaker 2: And Wellington too two cones? So that tells you one
25:17
Speaker 2: of two things. Either the tip line was a dumb
25:19
Speaker 2: idea or the rules are so overbearing that even if
25:21
Speaker 2: you want to get rid of the road cones, you
25:24
Speaker 2: can't because of the rules.
25:25
Speaker 1: It's fourteen to six International correspondence with ins An Eye
25:29
Speaker 1: Insurance Peace of Mind for New Zealand.
25:31
Speaker 2: Business dama's off to a past summit in Egypt. Devin
25:35
Speaker 2: Gray's our UK europ correspondent Gavin good morning.
25:38
Speaker 7: Either are indeed he is, And the question is though
25:41
Speaker 7: why I mean we It didn't appear to have had
25:44
Speaker 7: a great deal to do with the settlement that was
25:46
Speaker 7: Donald Trump. So many of his critics are saying he's
25:49
Speaker 7: only going to sort of bask in the limelight that's
25:52
Speaker 7: reflected off this piece deal from Donald Trump. He's also
25:55
Speaker 7: likely to pay particular tribute we're being told in Charmel
25:59
Speaker 7: shape two Trump, which of course many will criticize him
26:02
Speaker 7: of toadying up to the American president. And of course
26:06
Speaker 7: all this set to happen, but only if Hamas actually
26:09
Speaker 7: releases all the Israeli hostages believe to be twenty or
26:13
Speaker 7: so who are still alive, that deadline coming up being
26:16
Speaker 7: or fifteen hours or so, and we're still waiting to see,
26:20
Speaker 7: of course, if that will happen. But Sakir Starmer is
26:23
Speaker 7: basically going to say thank you to Donald Trump and
26:26
Speaker 7: said now we need swift progress towards phase two of
26:28
Speaker 7: the truce. UK will not be supplying any troops on
26:32
Speaker 7: the ground. However, and when asked what the UK is
26:36
Speaker 7: doing and why Sakiir Starmer needs to go, one of
26:38
Speaker 7: his ministers said, ah, well, we're helping organize private equity
26:44
Speaker 7: to invest in the area. Afterwards, might not need to
26:47
Speaker 7: go there for that particular achievement.
26:50
Speaker 2: There also might be just a little way away getting
26:53
Speaker 2: putting the cast horse before the count. Whatever the saying is,
26:57
Speaker 2: Hey tell me what if you're going to travel to
27:00
Speaker 2: the EU, You're gonna have to do fingerprinting, You're going
27:02
Speaker 2: to have to do facial recognition.
27:06
Speaker 7: Yes, so things changing from today, although there will be
27:10
Speaker 7: a transition period, and that is because this system has
27:15
Speaker 7: been beset with technological delays over the last few months.
27:19
Speaker 7: And what will now happen is instead of a stamp
27:22
Speaker 7: in your passport, these things will be replaced by biometric checks,
27:27
Speaker 7: so fingerprints and the scan of somebody's face in order
27:31
Speaker 7: to cross the EU border. Anyone who says no, I'm
27:35
Speaker 7: not doing that will be refused entry. And the UK
27:38
Speaker 7: incidentally now has to do this because we're not part
27:41
Speaker 7: of the EU. It was due to come into a
27:43
Speaker 7: fac almost a year ago, but as I mentioned, lots
27:46
Speaker 7: of technological delays involved in this, and the EU is
27:50
Speaker 7: saying that they will keep the data for three years,
27:52
Speaker 7: so once you've had your biometric scan done, it should
27:55
Speaker 7: be much quicker to get back in because you just
27:57
Speaker 7: need to verify that person's biomes rather than take them
28:01
Speaker 7: for the first time. Now, the question is have we
28:03
Speaker 7: heard of any delays at the moment, and the answer
28:06
Speaker 7: is no, not at the moment. But as I said,
28:08
Speaker 7: this is only being sort of given a trial run
28:11
Speaker 7: over the next few months. That are big concerns Ryan
28:14
Speaker 7: that here UK and elsewhere trying to get into the
28:17
Speaker 7: EU will lead to massive cues at the airport check
28:21
Speaker 7: in places and at the passport control places. But so
28:24
Speaker 7: far today it seems to be going okay.
28:27
Speaker 2: All right, Kevin Gray, are UK you correspondent. It is
28:29
Speaker 2: eleven to six, Ryan Bridge, So most of us didn't vote.
28:32
Speaker 2: Seventy percent of us roughly didn't by the voting in
28:34
Speaker 2: the local elections, it could be the worst turnout in
28:36
Speaker 2: thirty six years, worse than Auckland. Initial figures showing just
28:40
Speaker 2: over twenty three percent voted. Nick Clark is senior fellow
28:44
Speaker 2: at the New Zealand Initiative with me this morning, Nick,
28:46
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Ryan. Now you're going to tell
28:48
Speaker 2: me that we need to make voting easier and we
28:50
Speaker 2: need better candidates and that will get us out voting.
28:54
Speaker 2: Do you think that's enough? Do you think we need
28:56
Speaker 2: to do more like reform councils altogether.
29:00
Speaker 16: I think my view on that is that if you
29:04
Speaker 16: look at the turnout sets around the country, probably the
29:07
Speaker 16: places that have the higher voter turnout tend to be
29:11
Speaker 16: the smaller councils. Whereas in the sort of the received
29:15
Speaker 16: wisdom and New Zealanders that we need bigger is better
29:17
Speaker 16: and we need to consolidate, and we need to do this,
29:19
Speaker 16: that and the other. But actually it might be in
29:22
Speaker 16: a bit of an out. Their solution might be to
29:24
Speaker 16: make councils more local rather than less local. And in
29:27
Speaker 16: countries like Switzerland and the like, they have thousands of
29:31
Speaker 16: the units of local government seems to work a lot
29:33
Speaker 16: better than ours.
29:34
Speaker 2: Do they have the council laws in those countries? Do
29:38
Speaker 2: they have the same power as ours? The meyor no
29:42
Speaker 2: veto vote? You know, we have a council mayor system
29:45
Speaker 2: rather than a mayor council system.
29:47
Speaker 16: Yep, Yes, well, a lot of those, A lot of
29:49
Speaker 16: the international experiences that strong mayors also with relatively stronger
29:56
Speaker 16: counselors as well, who could hold their council to scrutiny,
29:58
Speaker 16: to account better. I certainly seem to have better performance
30:03
Speaker 16: and are able to get things done a lot, a
30:06
Speaker 16: lot better. There's also more competitive system where councilors actually
30:10
Speaker 16: compete with themselves to attract businesses and jobs and things
30:13
Speaker 16: like that.
30:14
Speaker 2: When you say that we need to attract better candidates,
30:16
Speaker 2: does that mean paying them more?
30:19
Speaker 16: Not necessarily, I mean no, I wouldn't say so. I mean,
30:23
Speaker 16: certainly they don't get paid a lot at the moment.
30:26
Speaker 16: But I would say the better way to get better
30:28
Speaker 16: candidates would be to actually give counselors and mayors in particular,
30:33
Speaker 16: the ability to actually make things happen and work to
30:38
Speaker 16: their mandates and to their promises they've made. They're not
30:42
Speaker 16: stifled or muzzled. They actually have the ability to get
30:46
Speaker 16: better information out of their councils, which can be incredibly
30:49
Speaker 16: difficult at times. They need to be able to, you know,
30:54
Speaker 16: just just basically tilt that playing field back and say
30:56
Speaker 16: with the elected representatives compared to the council bureaucracy which
31:01
Speaker 16: tend to lead them somewhat.
31:02
Speaker 2: Appreciate your times wanting, Nick Clark. With the New Zealand initiative,
31:05
Speaker 2: it is six to eight, sorry, six to six you're
31:08
Speaker 2: on News Talk.
31:09
Speaker 1: SeeDB get ahead of the headlines on an early edition
31:15
Speaker 1: with Ryan Bridge and RV Supercenter explore RVs accessories and
31:20
Speaker 1: servicing all in one News Talks.
31:22
Speaker 2: D B six on News Talks, HEB, have you've flown quantuslately? Congratulations?
31:25
Speaker 2: Your private details are now probably on the dark web.
31:28
Speaker 2: Six million customers. This is an old story. It came
31:32
Speaker 2: about in July. There was a cyber attack on It
31:35
Speaker 2: was not Quantus, but it was a platform that they use.
31:39
Speaker 2: Cyber attack. There six million customers, your names, email addresses,
31:43
Speaker 2: phone numbers dated birth, your frequent flyer number that gets stolen.
31:48
Speaker 2: And then at the weekend it was revealed that it's
31:51
Speaker 2: now for sale, that they just published it on the
31:55
Speaker 2: dark web. So that's great. There was a guy doing
31:58
Speaker 2: an interview on ABC Radio at the week and he
32:00
Speaker 2: gave his friend the last two digits of his frequent
32:03
Speaker 2: flying number. He went online, searched it, found his personal
32:06
Speaker 2: details and email address within a matter of minutes. So
32:09
Speaker 2: that's great, isn't it. I just think we need to
32:11
Speaker 2: stop companies from being able to ask us for our
32:14
Speaker 2: private details. Five to six play Mike's in the Studio,
32:18
Speaker 2: Good Morning, Mike I was involved or.
32:21
Speaker 17: We were involved, funnily enough, in a class action suit
32:26
Speaker 17: with Nieman Marcus. And we'd shopped at Neeman Marcus on
32:29
Speaker 17: last Sienegar, which is just off Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills.
32:33
Speaker 17: As you do, as you do, and so apparently that
32:36
Speaker 17: had a bit of a hack and the numbers were
32:38
Speaker 17: out there and they said, you know, we won, and
32:41
Speaker 17: you can fill out some paperwork and come on and
32:44
Speaker 17: collect some dough How much we didn't even bother finding
32:47
Speaker 17: out wasn't it wouldn't be much of his thousands of people.
32:49
Speaker 2: Beverly Hills, where all the celebrities live, you would think
32:53
Speaker 2: privacy would be of utmost importance that type of client town.
32:57
Speaker 9: It's not the sort of neighborhood it used to be.
32:58
