0:13
Speaker 2: Good morning to you. Thank you so much for choosing
0:15
Speaker 2: the program. Coming up over the next hour, Winston wants
0:18
Speaker 2: to ban fireworks. Guess what the firefighters think of that?
0:22
Speaker 2: They're joining us. In five, meat really is back on
0:24
Speaker 2: the menu boys. The fantastic news from the red meat sector.
0:27
Speaker 2: We'll have that story. In ten. Why did pensioners march
0:30
Speaker 2: on Parliament yesterday? And today is the day we get
0:33
Speaker 2: the figures on unemployment? Are they up or are they down?
0:36
Speaker 2: We'll have that story for you. Just before six, we'll
0:39
Speaker 2: go to the UK with Peter Anderson. We'll have correspondence
0:41
Speaker 2: from right around New Zealand and you can have your
0:43
Speaker 2: say anytime you'd like. The text number is ninety two
0:46
Speaker 2: ninety two in the small charge applies and it's seven after.
0:48
Speaker 3: Five the agenda.
0:52
Speaker 2: A big, big news out of the United States this morning.
0:54
Speaker 2: Former Republican price Vice President Dick Cheney has died. He
0:59
Speaker 2: was eighty four. George W. Bush has called it a
1:01
Speaker 2: loss to the nation and a sorrow to his friends. Channy,
1:04
Speaker 2: of course, was the powerhouse behind America's war on terror
1:08
Speaker 2: and the Iraq invasion in two thousand and three.
1:11
Speaker 3: We have to be concerned about the potential marriage, if
1:14
Speaker 3: you will, between a terrorist organization like al Qaeda and
1:18
Speaker 3: those who hold or are proliferating knowledge about weapons of
1:22
Speaker 3: mass destruction. So the concern is very real, it's very great.
1:27
Speaker 3: And when he defined ways as we go forward to
1:30
Speaker 3: make certain that the terrorists never acquires that capability, and.
1:34
Speaker 2: He won't be getting much love from Donald Trump. He
1:36
Speaker 2: once called him the biggest threat to America and voted
1:39
Speaker 2: for the Democrats and produced I think.
1:41
Speaker 4: The irony of Dick Cheney was that at one point
1:43
Speaker 4: he was very much the sort of figurehead to the
1:46
Speaker 4: Republican Party. Of course, never president, despite being vice president twice,
1:51
Speaker 4: but in recent years he was very much outside of
1:54
Speaker 4: the party, voting for Kamala Harris in twenty twenty four.
1:58
Speaker 4: His daughter Liz Cheney, was part of that committee that
2:02
Speaker 4: investigated January the sixth, all right.
2:05
Speaker 2: And staying in the United States. Big day American voters
2:08
Speaker 2: are heading to the polls. New York's picking its next
2:10
Speaker 2: man mayor should I say a show down between a
2:13
Speaker 2: young progressive and the old guard. Or we are on
2:16
Speaker 2: the brink of making history in our city, on.
2:19
Speaker 5: The brink of saying goodbye to a.
2:22
Speaker 2: Politics of the past, a politics that tells you what
2:26
Speaker 2: it can't do, and really what it means to say
2:28
Speaker 2: is what it won't do. And Virginia and New Jersey
2:30
Speaker 2: are choosing governors, and in California, voters are deciding whether
2:33
Speaker 2: to redraw their district maps, and basically that's a political
2:36
Speaker 2: game of who's going to get the power. And finally,
2:39
Speaker 2: Jamie Mellon's made history winning the Melbourne Cup on half
2:43
Speaker 2: yours sees the first female jockey ever to do the
2:46
Speaker 2: double with the Corfield Cup.
2:49
Speaker 4: Johns is coming clear.
2:51
Speaker 6: JV.
2:51
Speaker 2: Time for the doubles, the history back the next A
2:56
Speaker 2: top five trims half yours.
2:58
Speaker 7: The winner compares today's feeling right now I'm feeling.
3:03
Speaker 2: There's one mountain top boy. Everyone was crying I good
3:06
Speaker 2: his two shoes trotted and second, Middle Earth lagged into third.
3:09
Speaker 2: And the orkoand bloke who needed buccerow to run on
3:12
Speaker 2: the top four to when seven hundred grand from a
3:13
Speaker 2: seven dollar bet in January missed out because there were blood.
3:17
Speaker 2: There was blood in the lungs of buckaroo. It is
3:21
Speaker 2: ten halfter five.
3:22
Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth
3:25
Speaker 1: analysis earlier edition within Andre Dickens and are the Supercenter
3:29
Speaker 1: explore our these accessories and servicing all in one news
3:33
Speaker 1: talks a't be well.
3:34
Speaker 2: We're all looking at house prices and we're looking at
3:36
Speaker 2: the Reserve Bank as well, and we're all looking at
3:39
Speaker 2: them with the hope that the house market has turned
3:41
Speaker 2: and investors have returned to the market. But here's a
3:44
Speaker 2: bit of a reality check. Rents. The rental market is
3:47
Speaker 2: weak and that weakness is expected to persist with low
3:50
Speaker 2: migration and slowing wage growth. So core Logic has released
3:54
Speaker 2: its report says that rents have been falling for a
3:56
Speaker 2: year or con rents a down point five percent. They're
3:59
Speaker 2: sitting on a median of six hundred and fifty bucks
4:02
Speaker 2: a week. Hamilton rents fell point six to a median
4:05
Speaker 2: five five seven and Wellington had the sharpest decline, falling
4:09
Speaker 2: six point one percent to a median of six hundred
4:14
Speaker 2: and five hundred and sixty seven dollars a week. And
4:16
Speaker 2: they are not expected to rise. Why well, less people
4:20
Speaker 2: are coming to New Zealand and more leaving, meaning that
4:23
Speaker 2: the rental crisis has abruptly ended. And not only that
4:26
Speaker 2: wages are static, consumer prices are going up. So Tennis
4:30
Speaker 2: just don't have money. They simply can't afford the high rents,
4:33
Speaker 2: and the rents are fallen in response. Now it's not
4:36
Speaker 2: as though our rents are low, because they're not. But
4:39
Speaker 2: the golden days pre COVID are not coming back anytime soon,
4:43
Speaker 2: wherege may constrain investors looking at buying property. But this
4:46
Speaker 2: is what I thought we wanted back in the day.
4:49
Speaker 2: We wanted the house prices to come down. We wanted
4:51
Speaker 2: the first buyers to come in, and we wanted the
4:53
Speaker 2: rents to come down. And look, it's now happened, so
4:57
Speaker 2: I guess we shouldn't complain about it. Zimb It's eleven
5:02
Speaker 2: after five. It's finally happened. Council culture has come to
5:06
Speaker 2: the fireworks. People have been talking about banning fireworks forever,
5:09
Speaker 2: but now Winston Peters wants to do it. So how
5:12
Speaker 2: do the firefighters feel about it? And what are the
5:14
Speaker 2: reasons behind banning fireworks? That story is next on news
5:17
Speaker 2: Talks here b It's twelve after five.
5:20
Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Andrew
5:24
Speaker 1: Dickens and r V Supercenter explore r these accessories and
5:28
Speaker 1: servicing all in one news talks.
5:30
Speaker 2: At b Well, it's fourteen minutes after five. It's November
5:33
Speaker 2: the fifth, and we all know what that means. We
5:35
Speaker 2: know it in New Zealand it's sky Fork's day, and
5:38
Speaker 2: it also means more debate about banning the things. Now,
5:41
Speaker 2: Winston Peters has submitted a member's bill which would banned
5:45
Speaker 2: the importing and sale of fireworks, and Fire and Emergency
5:48
Speaker 2: had preemptively closed access to fourteen mountains around Auckland to
5:53
Speaker 2: prevent wildfire. So we joined now by the Fire and Emergency.
5:58
Speaker 2: New Zealand Regulatory Compliance Manager Adrian Nacy has got up early,
6:02
Speaker 2: but I guess you always get up early, don't you. Adrian,
6:05
Speaker 2: Good morning. What do you think should we ban them?
6:09
Speaker 7: Well, fire an Emergency, as you can imagine, would be
6:11
Speaker 7: supportive of any changes to legislation that would reduce to
6:15
Speaker 7: have from unwanted fire. That's what we're all about, So yeah,
6:18
Speaker 7: we would be we'd be very pleased to see some
6:21
Speaker 7: change to bring further restrictions just on the sale of
6:24
Speaker 7: retail fireworks to the public.
6:26
Speaker 2: So you don't mind with the big displays, but you
6:28
Speaker 2: don't want, you know, Joe Blow having fireworks in their backyard.
6:32
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's great for us. The fireworks, we would just
6:35
Speaker 7: prefer to be kept in the hands of the professionals,
6:38
Speaker 7: all right.
6:39
Speaker 2: So if this happens, is there a worry that we
6:41
Speaker 2: ban them? But people go, yikes, they're banning them, so
6:43
Speaker 2: they stockpile and they end out using out of date fireworks.
6:48
Speaker 7: Yeah, we don't really want people to stockpile fireworks for
6:51
Speaker 7: a couple of reasons. We don't want them to be
6:53
Speaker 7: set off over the summer when it gets even hotter, warmer,
6:56
Speaker 7: and dry than it is now. And it's also not
6:59
Speaker 7: a good idea to have fireworks obviously stored in your home,
7:02
Speaker 7: and they can present a risk to have firefighters if
7:05
Speaker 7: you had something go wrong in your property and they
7:07
Speaker 7: weren't aware that there were fireworks stored there.
7:10
Speaker 2: Now, there's a number of people who say, I'm absolutely
7:12
Speaker 2: responsible when it comes to fireworks, But that's not the problem.
7:15
Speaker 2: The problem are the idiots. I mean, how bad are
7:17
Speaker 2: the idiots?
7:19
Speaker 7: Yes, we get between sort of one hundred and fifty
7:22
Speaker 7: and two hundred fireworks related calls just that we go
7:25
Speaker 7: to each year. It's not necessarily people being particularly reckless
7:30
Speaker 7: all the time, as things like setting the fireworks off
7:33
Speaker 7: when it's windy auto close to things that can catch fire.
7:37
Speaker 2: So they're still legal today. So what are the restrictions
7:40
Speaker 2: on letting off fireworks around the country?
7:44
Speaker 7: So the main thing for us around the restrictions is
7:46
Speaker 7: you can only set them off in places we have
7:49
Speaker 7: the landowner's permission. So most councils around the country have
7:53
Speaker 7: put restrictions on letting fireworks off in places like beaches
7:56
Speaker 7: and parks. Obviously Department of Conservation and as a NOGO
8:01
Speaker 7: for setting off fireworks. So the main restrictions around that
8:05
Speaker 7: is that you need the land owner's permission. But the
8:08
Speaker 7: main thing for us is obviously checking those weather conditions.
8:12
Speaker 7: As you've seen around the last couple of weeks it
8:14
Speaker 7: has been hot, dry and windy around parts of the country.
8:17
Speaker 7: This makes it really easy for fires to take control
8:21
Speaker 7: and spread and get difficult for us to put out.
8:23
Speaker 2: Adrian, I hope you have a really quiet night tonight,
8:25
Speaker 2: and I thank you for joining us. And here's some
8:28
Speaker 2: numbers for you, and they come from twenty twenty three,
8:31
Speaker 2: and in twenty twenty three, five hundred and seventy five thousand,
8:35
Speaker 2: five hundred and forty four kilograms of fireworks were imported
8:39
Speaker 2: and that's up fifty two percent on twenty twenty Two's
8:44
Speaker 2: half a million kilograms of fireworks came into this country
8:47
Speaker 2: and were let off. One hundred and six fires were
8:49
Speaker 2: reported to be caused by fireworks and twenty twenty three
8:52
Speaker 2: that was up fifty eight percent. We had three hundred
8:54
Speaker 2: and forty one new claims to acc for fireworks related
8:57
Speaker 2: injuries in that year and a total of one thing,
9:00
Speaker 2: five hundred and seventy two service calls to New Zealand
9:02
Speaker 2: Police relating to fireworks because of course there were idiots
9:05
Speaker 2: and we had idiots. Yesterday, police officers and firefighters were
9:08
Speaker 2: targeted with fireworks after responding to a gathering of fifty
9:12
Speaker 2: young people on Castle Street in Dunedin. They were letting
9:15
Speaker 2: them off and they were firing it at each other
9:17
Speaker 2: about nine thirty Sunday, and then the cops came, and
9:20
Speaker 2: then of course they started firing the fireworks at the cops.
9:24
Speaker 2: And you wonder why the cancer cultures come to you.
9:27
Speaker 2: It is eighteen minutes after five. So Donald Trump broad
9:30
Speaker 2: in tariffs and one of the tariffs, of course, is
9:32
Speaker 2: on red meat. And we all worried. Well we shouldn't have,
9:36
Speaker 2: because the figures have come out and they're really good
9:39
Speaker 2: for the red meat industry. But what's happening in the
9:41
Speaker 2: United States, because that's all a bit crazy. We'll talk
9:43
Speaker 2: to Nathan Guy, who's the Meat Industry Association chair next
9:46
Speaker 2: eighteen after five twenty out to.
9:48
Speaker 1: Five on your radios and online on iHeartRadio Early edition
9:53
Speaker 1: with Andrew Dickens and are the Supercenter explore are these
9:57
Speaker 1: accessories and servicing all than one talks that be So here's.
10:01
Speaker 2: Some good news for you. It looks like our red
10:02
Speaker 2: meat industry might have survived despite Trump's tariffs. For now.
10:07
Speaker 2: In New Zealand's red meat exports junded way for this
10:10
Speaker 2: twenty nine percent in September to seven hundred and thirteen million.
10:13
Speaker 2: Overall exports for the third quarter hit two point twenty
10:16
Speaker 2: seven billion. That's up twenty percent on last year. Nathan
10:19
Speaker 2: Guy is the Meat Industry Association chare and joins me. Now,
10:22
Speaker 2: good morning to here, Nathan, Yes, good morning. This is
10:24
Speaker 2: looking pretty good for the full year figures isn't it.
10:27
Speaker 8: Oh, it's fantastic. Yes, it's been a couple of lean
10:31
Speaker 8: years for our farmers when we look back, and they're
10:35
Speaker 8: really celebrating returns at the moment, and so are our processes.
10:39
Speaker 8: So there's a lot of optimism right across the primary
10:41
Speaker 8: sector're particularly in the red meat sector. So fighting times
10:44
Speaker 8: all right.
10:45
Speaker 2: So with these figures, are surprised you given all the
10:49
Speaker 2: negative factors that have been influencing.
10:52
Speaker 8: Well, there's always geopolitical issues and the headwinds that exporters
10:55
Speaker 8: have to face in the US. It's been interesting times,
10:58
Speaker 8: hasn't it. Because we've seen the ten percent and everyone
11:02
Speaker 8: thought that was sort of doomsday, and then fifteen percent.
11:05
Speaker 8: We also thought of gosh, that's going to be really
11:07
Speaker 8: problematic for our exporters. But the reality is the demand's
11:11
Speaker 8: been really strong. And yes there's been a few arm
11:14
Speaker 8: wrestlers at the border right here with customers who want
11:18
Speaker 8: to force the fifteen percent back on our processes here
11:21
Speaker 8: and returns for our processes. Quite often they play a
11:25
Speaker 8: high volume game and if they can get higher returns,
11:27
Speaker 8: then they win. But at times it's quite lean returns,
11:32
Speaker 8: so they're excited that they're actually winning at the moment,
11:35
Speaker 8: and that's I'm just going to say sorry, that's because
11:40
Speaker 8: the demand is particularly strong. They've had a couple of
11:43
Speaker 8: very bad droughts in the US and there heard rebuild
11:47
Speaker 8: is going to still take a few years to actually
11:49
Speaker 8: flow through. So we're very fortunate that we produce high
11:52
Speaker 8: quality red meat. Consumers love what we do. There's a
11:57
Speaker 8: very strong hamburger market up there, three burgers per head
12:02
Speaker 8: per week they consume, so it's a bit like a
12:04
Speaker 8: staple for us here in NZ. And then certainly we're
12:08
Speaker 8: filling that market for US consumers, and we also do
12:11
Speaker 8: high value products on both sides of the US.
12:14
Speaker 2: As well, so so big the big positives here are
12:18
Speaker 2: the EU up fifty percent and China up twenty seven percent,
12:22
Speaker 2: and bizarrely, North America beef exports are down. So what's
12:27
Speaker 2: happening with the United States.
12:30
Speaker 8: Well, I think we've gone through a period with a
12:32
Speaker 8: fifteen percent tariff where export has just sat and waited
12:36
Speaker 8: for a while and wondered what would happen, and then
12:38
Speaker 8: they realized that there's still huge demand up there in
12:40
Speaker 8: the US. So that's why the volume numbers have come
12:45
Speaker 8: back a little bit. But the value still is incredibly high,
12:48
Speaker 8: and exports always go where the money is. That's their
12:51
Speaker 8: job and they can, you know, almost been on a dime,
12:56
Speaker 8: not quite, but they realize that there's much need to
13:00
Speaker 8: be made in the US. It's great that age is
13:02
Speaker 8: coming back on stream. China looks like it's having a
13:05
Speaker 8: few green shoots. Your economy is just starting to move.
13:08
Speaker 8: So overall, very good times for our processes and that's
13:12
Speaker 8: flying through to farmers as well.
13:14
Speaker 2: So how sustainable is this? Will it continue or will
13:18
Speaker 2: finally the tariff splint.
13:21
Speaker 8: Well, demand's still looking good. Whether things change in time.
13:28
Speaker 8: I think it's going to take a few years for
13:30
Speaker 8: them to rebuild their herd in the US. There is
13:33
Speaker 8: some pressure there always has been from South American countries,
13:37
Speaker 8: and we follow the geopolitical stuff very closely. We saw
13:41
Speaker 8: that President she and President Trump had a reasonable meeting
13:44
Speaker 8: last week. It's quite a bit of Brazilian brief that's
13:47
Speaker 8: not going into the US, that's going into China. So
13:51
Speaker 8: there's all sorts of things at play. We're very pleased
13:54
Speaker 8: at Prime Minis de Luxe and how to face the
13:56
Speaker 8: face meeting with President Trump that's been a while coming
14:01
Speaker 8: and it sounded as was extremely successful. So we tip
14:05
Speaker 8: our hat to the Prime Minister and Todd McLay and
14:07
Speaker 8: the work that they're doing in the trade space.
14:09
Speaker 2: And I tip my hat to the farmers, Nathan, who
14:11
Speaker 2: are doing great jobs. And you know, if America grows
14:14
Speaker 2: and EU and China carries on, this is only good days.
14:17
Speaker 2: And I thank you so much for your time. That
14:18
Speaker 2: is Nathan guy. It is now five twenty five. It's
14:21
Speaker 2: News Talks B. The pensioners are revolting.
14:24
Speaker 9: Yep.
14:24
Speaker 2: They were marching on Parliament yesterday. Why I'll tell you
14:26
Speaker 2: that why in just a sec the early.
14:28
Speaker 1: Edition full the show podcast on iHeartRadio, how It by
14:32
Speaker 1: News Talks It B.
14:34
Speaker 2: Yes, Talks It B. It is now five twenty seven
14:36
Speaker 2: and Andrew Dickens, By the way, Ryan's back tomorrow. Yesterday
14:40
Speaker 2: pension has marched on Parliament demanding that politicians remember them.
14:43
Speaker 2: It wasn't covered on the one news and I don't
14:45
Speaker 2: know why. Actually I do know why. Doesn't surprise me anyway.
14:49
Speaker 2: But what were they worried about? Well, one of the
14:51
Speaker 2: biggest things on their mind is the rules around retirement villages.
14:54
Speaker 2: And here is an example that has been quoted about
14:57
Speaker 2: a couple who've been in a retirement village for ten years,
15:00
Speaker 2: but they realized that they needed more care, so they
15:02
Speaker 2: decided to move out and find a more appropriate place
15:04
Speaker 2: to live. Now back in the day, ten years beforehand,
15:07
Speaker 2: they bought their villa for six hundred thousand dollars, but
15:10
Speaker 2: under the current situation, they'll only get four hundred thousand
15:14
Speaker 2: dollars of that money back, so no capital gain at all.
15:17
Speaker 2: The village is then free to onsell the villa, which
15:20
Speaker 2: is now valued at one point two million, and they
15:23
Speaker 2: don't have to pay the couples four hundred thousand dollars
15:25
Speaker 2: back until they find someone to take over the license.
15:28
Speaker 2: Sometimes that can take up to two years. So the
15:32
Speaker 2: couple bought a six hundred thousand dollar house that's being
15:34
Speaker 2: sold by the village for one point two million, and
15:36
Speaker 2: all the couple get is four hundred grand and it
15:38
Speaker 2: may take two years. That's harsh, right. No capital gain
15:43
Speaker 2: in fact a loss, no funds at all on the
15:45
Speaker 2: bank until the village decides to relcense. The only way
15:48
Speaker 2: a village works for you is if you stay in
15:51
Speaker 2: it till the day you die, but you will not
15:54
Speaker 2: be passing on any capital gains to your kids. You're
15:56
Speaker 2: going to lose half your capital. At least that is
15:59
Speaker 2: the deal, and that's the way it's been running for
16:01
Speaker 2: a while now. Back in the day, Labor's Ingrid Leary
16:03
Speaker 2: promised to do something about this, but of course they
16:05
Speaker 2: lost the election. Now the government continues to say they
16:08
Speaker 2: support our seniors. They also say they're railing against taxes
16:12
Speaker 2: on capital gains, but nothing's really been happening. Our seniors
16:16
Speaker 2: are being hit with basically a de facto capital gains
16:19
Speaker 2: tax that far exceeds anything Labor has suggested. So I
16:22
Speaker 2: think it might be time for the current government to
16:24
Speaker 2: walk the walk that you've been walking and talk the
16:26
Speaker 2: talk that you've been talking but also not doing. Let's
16:32
Speaker 2: do something about it. Let's not ruin our seniors last

19:57
Speaker 2: the RMA minister, has written to the Auckland Council says
20:00
Speaker 2: the Eden Park needs to hold at least twenty medium
20:02
Speaker 2: sized concerts of ten to thirty thousand people a year,
20:05
Speaker 2: on top of the twelve concerts that currently hosts. They've
20:08
Speaker 2: got a report that warns that the restrictions are costing
20:13
Speaker 2: four hundred and thirty two million dollars in lost income
20:16
Speaker 2: and costing seven hundred and fifty one fewer jobs. So
20:19
Speaker 2: Chris wants more concerts, twenty of them twenty medium sized
20:23
Speaker 2: and twelve large ones. Did you know in the rules
20:25
Speaker 2: at the moment at Eden Park you're allowed to do
20:28
Speaker 2: twelve concerts but they can be performed by no more
20:30
Speaker 2: than six artists. What's that about? Also, Chris wants more
20:34
Speaker 2: flexibility on timing for concerts, more flexibility for sports games
20:39
Speaker 2: are change to the noise standards because he says the
20:41
Speaker 2: rules are ridiculous and you know what, He's right? Twenty
20:45
Speaker 2: one to six zid be all right, time to go
20:48
Speaker 2: around the country to Otago we go and Jamie Cunningham Hello,

Speaker 2: fireworks war on Sunday Castle Street anyway, the student and
21:00
Speaker 2: flats so are now being held to new standards, hopefully
21:03
Speaker 2: livable ones.
21:04
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's right.
21:05
Speaker 11: The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment are inspecting student
21:09
Speaker 11: homes to tackle landlords offering damp rundown rentals. MB's Tenants, Tendancy,
21:14
Speaker 11: Compliance and Investigations team has inspected fifty of the fifty
21:18
Speaker 11: three identified North Dunedin homes since May. National manager Brett
21:22
Speaker 11: Wilson says it's committed to ensuring all properties meet required
21:26
Speaker 11: standards before finalizing any cases. This includes new heat pumps
21:31
Speaker 11: being instilled in significant bathroom renovations and rent relief for tenants.
21:36
Speaker 11: Now all case investigations are expected to be completed by
21:39
Speaker 11: the end of the year.
21:40
Speaker 2: All ma, how's your weather?
21:42
Speaker 4: Morning?
21:43
Speaker 11: Low cloud or fog with possible drizzle, clearing to fine
21:46
Speaker 11: northeries and high of twenty.
21:48
Speaker 2: A bit of drizzle is perfect for Guy Fawkstein. I
21:50
Speaker 2: thank you so much. Claire Sherwood from christ Church, Good morning,
21:53
Speaker 2: Good morning. Is retail dying in Canterbury?
21:56
Speaker 10: Oh?
21:56
Speaker 12: That's certainly what plenty are asking after this news that
21:59
Speaker 12: should retailer Street Legal has gone into liquidation after operating
22:03
Speaker 12: from here in Christchurch and across the South Island for
22:06
Speaker 12: more than two decades. We found out yesterday that that
22:09
Speaker 12: company owes more than fifty creditors upwards of six hundred
22:12
Speaker 12: thousand dollars. This, of course follows some other high profile
22:15
Speaker 12: liquidations here in Christchurch. We had Smith City going bus
22:19
Speaker 12: owing twenty six point eight million. We had the company
22:22
Speaker 12: behind two of our Sterling sports stores in our shopping
22:25
Speaker 12: malls also liquidating. We've spoken with Business Canterbury ceoly And Watson,
22:30
Speaker 12: who says, to be fair, this isn't surprising She says,
22:33
Speaker 12: the retail scene has been changing for around a decade,
22:36
Speaker 12: but of course COVID did accelerate online shopping habits. How's
22:40
Speaker 12: your weather A bit of morning low cloud or fog,
22:43
Speaker 12: then should be fine. Northeasterlyes developing a high eighteen.
22:46
Speaker 2: Next told joins us to Wellington, hellimax, good morning. It
22:49
Speaker 2: blew my mind to watch Andrew Little actually taking safety
22:52
Speaker 2: meters away yesterday he went around the waterfront taking down
22:54
Speaker 2: those temporary fences.
22:57
Speaker 5: Yeah, there have been these temporary safety fences up around
22:59
Speaker 5: the water front the last couple of years. Quite divisive.
23:02
Speaker 5: It doesn't look great, but the purpose is of course
23:05
Speaker 5: to stop people falling in and drowning, which happens more
23:08
Speaker 5: than you'd think, typically once every couple of years. Andrew Little,
23:11
Speaker 5: yes new mayor likely hugely influential in the decision to
23:15
Speaker 5: remove that fencing. The council just doesn't want to pay
23:17
Speaker 5: for anything permanent. It voted well before the local election
23:22
Speaker 5: not to pay several million dollars to put up permanent
23:25
Speaker 5: fencing around the waterfront. It wasn't massively controversial, but it
23:28
Speaker 5: is to the father of a young guy. One of
23:30
Speaker 5: the young guys, Sandy Calkin, who fell in and drowned
23:33
Speaker 5: in twenty twenty one after walking home from work drinks.
23:37
Speaker 5: Roger Calkin says it's sickening that Andrew Little would film
23:40
Speaker 5: a short promotional video for social media announcing the fencing's
23:44
Speaker 5: removal near the spot his son fell in. He wants
23:47
Speaker 5: permanent safety measures, believe some people still feel unsafe walking
23:51
Speaker 5: around the water's edge, particularly after coroners have warned of
23:54
Speaker 5: the danger. What's likely to happen is all going to
23:57
Speaker 5: be forgotten until the next person falls in and will
24:00
Speaker 5: end up having the same debates exactly the same as
24:02
Speaker 5: we've had before.
24:03
Speaker 2: Whinston wants to bamfire works. Andrew Little is getting rid
24:06
Speaker 2: of safety fences. The whole world's gone topsy turvy. How's
24:09
Speaker 2: you exactly? How's you wear that?
24:10
Speaker 5: Yes, a far and strong the Northern East eighteen Today's hut.
24:13
Speaker 2: And Wendy Petrie is joining us now from Organ heallood morning,
24:17
Speaker 2: Londy to see you too. And I've just mentioned that
24:20
Speaker 2: to Eden Park more concerts. If Chris Bitcher pass his way.
24:23
Speaker 9: That's right, yes. The Rama reform Minister Chris Bishop has
24:25
Speaker 9: written to the Auckland Council asking for feedback on a
24:28
Speaker 9: proposal to allow up to twenty medium sized concerts of
24:31
Speaker 9: one hundred, ten thousand to thirty thousand people a year
24:34
Speaker 9: at Eden Park, on top of the twelve currently hosts,
24:37
Speaker 9: also recommending the venue should be allowing up to host
24:40
Speaker 9: twelve large concerts of more than thirty thousand people, and
24:43
Speaker 9: suggestions are in a report by an economic consultancy, Insight
24:47
Speaker 9: considers how restrictions at Eden Park may be holding back
24:50
Speaker 9: the regional economy. Council's got twenty working days to respond
24:53
Speaker 9: to Bishop. The Mayor's office was approached for comment and
24:56
Speaker 9: under the new rules introduced as part of the government's
24:58
Speaker 9: Resource management Laws, Ship ultimately has the power to implement
25:02
Speaker 9: the changes if he chooses. The Council's responses due on
25:05
Speaker 9: the twenty eighth of November. Bishop says after the consultation
25:08
Speaker 9: with the public the council, he hopes to make further
25:10
Speaker 9: announcements by the end of the year.
25:12
Speaker 2: Excellent. What says the point of having a stadium if
25:15
Speaker 2: you don't use it? Have you been to Eating Park
25:17
Speaker 2: for a concert? I have, and I love it. I
25:19
Speaker 2: love it.
25:20
Speaker 1: What did I see?
25:22
Speaker 9: So you actually saw?
25:23
Speaker 10: It?
25:24
Speaker 9: Was it you too that I saw Eden Park many
25:26
Speaker 9: years ago.
25:27
Speaker 2: Oh it was sure, smady. Oh no, well I've I
25:32
Speaker 2: have been to and I'm going to Metallica in a
25:35
Speaker 2: couple of weeks time.
25:36
Speaker 9: Do you know that I heard yesterday at a Melbourne
25:39
Speaker 9: Cup event that the whole of Auckland has booked out
25:41
Speaker 9: for Metallica?
25:42
Speaker 7: Really?
25:42
Speaker 9: Yeah, Well isn't that amazing how many people at draws?
25:45
Speaker 2: Yeah? Exactly, And that is the point of it, that
25:47
Speaker 2: there is a financial game of point.
25:49
Speaker 9: Now the weather, yeah, let's talk about it because it
25:52
Speaker 9: is another lovely fine day. The winds are light too,
25:56
Speaker 9: and see breezes twenty three the high And.
25:58
Speaker 2: I've had a text out of christ which says, actual
26:00
Speaker 2: ac DC, if they're ever going to come to New Zealand,
26:02
Speaker 2: they sure actually come to Christchurch in the Newteka Have Stadium.
26:05
Speaker 2: And yes, I agree with you that it's going to
26:07
Speaker 2: blow your minds category when you get that stadium up
26:10
Speaker 2: and going, when some of the bands come down to
26:11
Speaker 2: meet you, because you've been missing out. So ac DC
26:14
Speaker 2: would be nice. Ac DC anywhere in New Zealand would
26:17
Speaker 2: be nice. To be fair, it is a quarter to six.
26:20
Speaker 2: David Beckham Finally, got his knighthood. We're going to talk
26:23
Speaker 2: about this next. Right, Let's talk about performance and results,
26:26
Speaker 2: something worth paying attention to. The latest independent data from
26:29
Speaker 2: morning Star shows Milford's KEII Saver funds are number one
26:34
Speaker 2: for performance over the past ten years in the act
26:36
Speaker 2: of growth, balanced and conservative categories. And that is proven
26:41
Speaker 2: long term consistency and you can look for yourself at
26:43
Speaker 2: Morningstar dot com dot au. Milford's also been recognized with
26:47
Speaker 2: a string of industry awards including Canned Stars, Kiwisaver Provider
26:51

27:27
Speaker 2: This is out twelve minutes to six. He's wanted it
27:30
Speaker 2: long enough and finally he's got it. He certainly made
27:33
Speaker 2: sure people knew he wanted it to. David Beckham is
27:36
Speaker 2: now Sir David Beckham.
27:38
Speaker 13: It's going to take some getting used to people saying it,
27:41
Speaker 13: but no, it's just a huge honor. You know, it's
27:44
Speaker 13: a huge honour to be here at Windsor cast Or.
27:46
Speaker 13: It's a huge honor to receive this from His Majesty
27:49
Speaker 13: the King, and you know it's just a it's all
27:53
Speaker 13: round a very special day for us.
27:55
Speaker 2: And joining us from the UK's Peter Anderson, hallo, Peter.
27:58
Speaker 10: Andrew, good morning to you and yes, accompanied by his
28:01
Speaker 10: wife Victoria. Sir David Beckham was presented to King Charles
28:05
Speaker 10: at Windsor Castle earlier today and he was recognized for
28:09
Speaker 10: his services to football and also to British society. Sir
28:13
Speaker 10: David played for the England football side a total of
28:16
Speaker 10: one hundred and fifteen times, and he also captained the
28:20
Speaker 10: national team for six years between two thousand and two
28:23
Speaker 10: thousand and six. And at club level, he was a
28:26
Speaker 10: star midfielder for sides including Manchester United, Spain's Real Madrid
28:30
Speaker 10: and Italy's AC Milan. Away from football's credited with a
28:35
Speaker 10: central role in securing the twenty twelve Olympics for London,
28:39
Speaker 10: and he's also spent twenty years working in support of
28:42
Speaker 10: humanitarian organization UNSEV. Despite all that, Andrew, though it seems
28:47
Speaker 10: a different topic, dominated today's conversation with the King. Apparently
28:51
Speaker 10: much of the discussion focused on Sir David's suit, which
28:54
Speaker 10: was designed by Victoria Beckham and which was inspired by
28:57
Speaker 10: King Charles's own sartorial.
28:59
Speaker 2: Starfle beautiful stuff. And I think it did take an
29:03
Speaker 2: awfully long time for David to get the night after
29:06
Speaker 2: the Olympics. Of course he thought he was going to
29:08
Speaker 2: get it, but it finally happened and it's well deserved.
29:11
Speaker 2: And also his garden videos on social media were worth
29:14
Speaker 2: the look. They're very calming. Thank you, Peter. It is
29:16
Speaker 2: now ten to six news dogs it'd be well. Today
29:19
Speaker 2: is today. The unemployment figures come out and they're not
29:22
Speaker 2: looking flash. To be fair, economists are picking a nine
29:25
Speaker 2: year high of five point three percent for the September quarter,
29:27
Speaker 2: the worsince twenty sixteen. Here's some good news, though it
29:30
Speaker 2: could give the RBNZ hed an excuse to cut rates again,
29:33
Speaker 2: not that they need an excuse Mike Jones is the
29:35
Speaker 2: begon Zia's chief economist and joins us. Now, hell a mate,
29:38
Speaker 2: come morning, what's your pick?
29:41
Speaker 6: Well, with the conspsus there at four point three percent,
29:44
Speaker 6: so a bit of nude up.
29:46
Speaker 2: Is this the worst of it? Or is there more
29:48
Speaker 2: to come? Or will it rebound from here? Are wee
29:50
Speaker 2: at bottom?
29:52
Speaker 6: Will we think we're getting close to the to the
29:54
Speaker 6: top for the unemployment rate cycle? I mean we have
29:56
Speaker 6: another five thrillion forecast the next quarter and then starting
30:00
Speaker 6: to improve from next year. So look, there's still of
30:03
Speaker 6: ways to go. It's a little bit of a slog
30:05
Speaker 6: ahead of us. But I think importably, we are starting
30:07
Speaker 6: to see a few more encouraging signs out there, whether
30:09
Speaker 6: it's job ads starting to lift or employers telling us
30:13
Speaker 6: in business surveys that they expect to increase employment over
30:16
Speaker 6: the year.
30:17
Speaker 2: Here there are less youth participating in our workforce, and
30:22
Speaker 2: tell me about that, and how does it impact on
30:24
Speaker 2: the numbers.
30:26
Speaker 6: Yeah, certainly we've seen youth employment bear the brunt of
30:30
Speaker 6: us adjustment.
30:30
Speaker 8: Really.
30:30
Speaker 6: I mean we saw obviously back for years now in COVID,
30:34
Speaker 6: youth unemployment dropped quite noticeably and youth workers were pulled
30:38
Speaker 6: into the labor force given those really strong conditions at
30:41
Speaker 6: the time, and what we've seen in the last kind
30:43
Speaker 6: of year or eighteen months is almost the reverse of that,
30:46
Speaker 6: with a lot of those youth workers leaving the labor
30:50
Speaker 6: force or maybe going back to study and training and
30:55
Speaker 6: so forth. And that's what we typically see in an
30:58
Speaker 6: unemployment cycle, but probably a little bit more than usual
31:02
Speaker 6: in this one.
31:03
Speaker 2: And do you think these figures will help push along
31:07
Speaker 2: the RB to doing more cuts.
31:11
Speaker 8: Well, that's right.
31:12
Speaker 6: The res effacts already got a five point three percent
31:15
Speaker 6: forecast in its numbers, so you get that result today.
31:18
Speaker 6: It shouldn't ruffle too many feathers down at the bank,
31:21
Speaker 6: and it does play to the grain of the economy
31:24
Speaker 6: needed a little bit more help. So another twenty five
31:28
Speaker 6: point cut later this month, that's in our forecasts, and
31:32
Speaker 6: we suspect that it may well be the last, well.
31:35
Speaker 2: One would hope. So it's interesting how you say we're
31:37
Speaker 2: at the top of the cycle, whereas I prefer to
31:39
Speaker 2: say we're at the bottom of the cycle, because nobody
31:41
Speaker 2: likes unemployment to be fair. Mike, enjoy your job today,
31:44
Speaker 2: and thank you so much for waking up early to
31:45
Speaker 2: us that is Mike Jones, Biginze's chief economist, News talk

32:00
Speaker 2: They'd be Texas, says Roll on the floor, laughing. Five
32:03
Speaker 2: percent unemployed. That's not taking into account the one hundred
32:05
Speaker 2: and fifty thousand New Zealanders that have left New Zealand. Yeah,
32:08
Speaker 2: there's been a hollowing out, that's fair to say. And
32:10
Speaker 2: on the Fireworks Band, Taylor complains. He says that one
32:13
Speaker 2: time I let off a sleigh rocket from a beer
32:15
Speaker 2: bottle that fell over and launched into a tree and
32:17
Speaker 2: set it on fire, and they want to ban them.
32:18
Speaker 2: Come on, it only happened once, but that's what Winston
32:21

32:23
Speaker 2: morning to you. Happy guy Falk's day. Yeah, are you
32:25
Speaker 2: excited about that? I used to be when I had kids,
32:29
Speaker 2: and then suddenly they went left home and suddenly you
32:33
Speaker 2: change that.
32:33
Speaker 14: It's not I always argued that it was. Maybe it
32:36
Speaker 14: was back in the day when you got good stuff,
32:39
