  Speaker 2: year now to decide as a country how to replace

  Speaker 2: our two big warships. We'll ask that question.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: The agenda.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: It is tuesdays boarding the design. Trump's blockade of the
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: straight upon moves is back and he wants to clip

  Speaker 3: very volatile section of the world.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Now watch this space because Iran will hate that. Let's
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: go to Bangkok. Twenty eight people have been killed, twenty
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: five were injured after this fire through a bar there.

  Speaker 2: former Conservative MP turned Reform spokesperson for Immigration and Justice.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Yesterday they came out and said, no, we don't think
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: it's terrorism. Now Nigel Farage is getting a security briefing
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: because they think, well it is.
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: I'm happy to offer a meeting, mister Farrage with a
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: chair of Rabbit, the independent body within the Home Office
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: that manages the security of those in public life. And
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: I will also be looking at what security guidance can
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: be provided to former members of Parliament, which I hope
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: to work with you on, mister Beaker, as well as
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: those who serve a party outside of this place.

  Speaker 4: mongst funomenal discovery about time.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: He's best known for his iconic role of courses, Dr
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Allen Grant and Jurassic Park. Death came as a shock
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: in the sense that yes, we knew he had cancer,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: but he had beaten it and was cancer free. It
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: is eight after five.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day early
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and Spark for business Technology that
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: keeps business moving News talk z' be.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Nine two as the number of text Always love hearing
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: from you now. The government yesterday made a big song
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: and dance about supermarkets and they've essentially come up with
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: what I'm calling a brochure to handle the supermarket operators,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: to hand to your German Eld's for example, and say,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: come on over here, this is how easy it will
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: be to set up business here, which is never really
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: as far as I could see, being the problem with
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: setting up a business here. It's one of them, but
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: we're just so far away with such a small market,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: so the margins don't make sense. But anyway, they put
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: this brosure out and said come here, have fun, come
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: by as much land as you need. We'll get the
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: consents for those. I mean, this is all stuff that helps.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: It's not stuff to be scoffed at. It's stuff that
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: we should be doing. But is it going to make
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: a difference. I mean, Eldi has already said they're not
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: really interested in going. Although interestingly Aldi has set up
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: they went into America, they've got thousands of stores there
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: years ago. But they've just announced that they're expanding further
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: into the United States. Eight hundred new Aldi stores are
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: going to open. One has just opened in Manhattan. And
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: there was a woman yesterday I was reading about who
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: was absolutely over the moon about four dollar arm and
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: butter that she could buy from Eldy from the Germans
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: in downtowntan Manhattan. And you think, why do they get
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: four dollar arm and butter downtown Manhattan. Why can't we
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: have that our four dollar almond butter here in New Zealand. Well,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: the daytime population of downtown Manhattan is four million people,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: ten after five Bryan Bridge. Over in Australia, this is interesting.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: So over in Australia, you know anthrop It, which is
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: the AI. It's an American AI bigwig. They want the
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Australian government to change their laws, their copyright laws so
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: that because you know, these AI models rely on basically
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: mining all of the data from the Internet, well they
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: want the Australian government to change the copyright laws there
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: so that they can go ahead and scrape like bottom
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: tray like we do with the ocean, all of the data,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: the copyrighted the text, the art, the music, anything that's
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: copyrighted and put on there. They want permission for their
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: big bots to go on bottom trawl at all and
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: take it and steal it and then recreate it into
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: something that we will use ourselves. Now, whether that happens
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: or not, as anyone's guess, however, you know, Mask, he's
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: just done it anyway. I mean, at least they're asking.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I suppose they're the polite ones. Off the two eleven
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: after five News Talks MB, we'll look at our navy frigates.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Next the Early Edition Full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio

  Speaker 1: powered by News Talks, AB, News and Views you Trust
• 5:26

  Speaker 1: and Spark for Business Technology that keeps business moving NEWSTALKSB
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: five point thirteen.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: You know that the Reserve Bank has increased the official
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: cash rate twenty five basis points. But what happens with
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: the banks and their mortgage testing rates. That's the rate
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: that they go, Okay, we can lend you this amount
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: of money based on your income. That changes and you
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: don't actually know what it is necessarily it's sort of
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: a secret rate, but interest dot Co has asked a
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: n Z, ASB, BNZ and Kiwi Bank most of the
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: big one ones, have your serviceability test rates changed since
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: the OCR has changed? In other words, has the OCR
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: changed how much we can borrow? And they all said, nah,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: the borrowing limits. Basically, the serviceability rate hasn't changed. For ans,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: it's six point eight five percent. That is the country's
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: largest mortgage lender. Of course that last changed in April
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: for them ASB six point eight five percent, and you'll
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: get the most out of BNZI by the looks seven
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: point one percent. Retired Major general says, our two main
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: warships are going to reach the end of their working
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: lives within a decade. What's more, Cabinet muster side by
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven, Yes, that's next year. What we should
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: do to replace them? John G. Howard, retired Major General
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: and New Zealand Initiative senior fellow with me this morning, John,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, right, nice to have you on
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: the program. So where are we at with this decision?
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: To replace them.
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: Well, the decision will be placed before Cabinet very shortly.
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: I'd imagine it's not this year than next year, and
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: then the nation will need to make some hard decisions.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: We're talking here about Takaha and Tamana.
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: That's correct, the two current frigates that we have.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: What do they do? What do we need them to do?
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: As a maritime trading nation, they offer a range of
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: support to us. But in essence it means that we
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: are able to take part in securing our own economic
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: exclusion zone, which includes our search and rescue area which
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: is a little bit bigger than our economic exclusion zone.
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: It allows us to participate in a range of operations
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: from diplomatic through to constabulary and up to an including
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: warfare operations both close to home and globally, and have
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: done for many years.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Realistically with two of them. If war came, how useful
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: would we be?
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: Well, the paper that I'm about to release this afternoon
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: through the initiative will will highlight the two really is
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: not a capability. The challenge you have when you have
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: two warships you've got to do maintenance both short and
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: long term, and you've got to be able to rotate
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: your crew. There was a decision that was made some
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: time ago. The country now has an option to think
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: quite broadly about what maritime capabilities do we want and
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: how do we defend our national interests?
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: How many do you think we need? John Well, if.
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: We're going to be serious about maintaining our bluewater capability,
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: I think four is the minimum number that would allow
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: that to occur. And that figure is going to be
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: quite confrontational to the cabinet table and to the nation.
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: Really think about what the cost of defense is, because
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: in my mind, the cost of defense is not a
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: percentage of GDP discussion. It's how do we defend our
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: national interests? And that's not just the job of the
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: New Zealand Defense Force, it's a whole of government and
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: indeed a whole of society job.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: How much would four of these bad boys set us back?
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: I'm not sure I've got the answer to that, because
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: the decision will depend on which one you buy and
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: the systems that you buy. A frigate as a system
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: of systems, so we're going to have to think long
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: and hard about how do we refuel it, where do
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: we repair it? At the moment. We don't have a
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: dedicated dry dock capability in New Zealand. There's a range
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: of deeper discussions and it would be my hope that
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: we're able to allow this discussion to go into the
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: public domain, something we haven't done for decades.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Step one would be not crashing them right what we've got?
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: What about and this is a serious question about c drones.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, how much do they play? Do we need,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: you know, our traditional frigates that's still needed in the
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: modern warfare era.
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so that's for a really good question. So we're
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: in the information age and the technology age. What we've
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: seen in Ukraine and the maritime operation and elsewhere tells
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: us that uncrude systems and then the use of open
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: source technology and smart systems as we're seeing other nations
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: heavily invest in, are all part of a layered defense system.
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: And if we're using the concept of a drone, be
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: that subsurface, surface or air, then that gives us early
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: warning and indication and that would allow us to look
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: broadly without having to put a capital ship, as it were,
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: into harm's way for certain events. That would also mean
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: that we have to think differently about data because drones
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: captured data, and in the information age, that means how
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: do we integrate data to secure our national interests? And
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: that's a deeper discussion because we still don't have a
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: data strategy in New Zealand.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: And interesting stuff. John a lot on the table, John G.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: How A retired Major General, New Zealand Initiative senior fellow,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: and I doubt you be hearing more about that today.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: It is eighteen after five. Over in the UK, Sir
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Kestarma has designated Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps the IRGC,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: the bad guys in Iran who are dropping all the
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: bombs and doing all the speedboats. He's banned them from
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: the UK. Well we'll go figure. They've formerly been designated
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: and designated a threat to national security. Now we haven't
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: done this. Our Prime Minister has not done this yet,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: saying he's still getting advice on it. Nineteen after five
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Cameron Bagri on Services Next the Early.

  Speaker 1: Edition Full show podcast on iHeartRadio. Power It by Newstalks
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: at b Ryan Bridge on Early Edition with Spunk for
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Business Technology that keeps Business Moving, News Talks ab.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: It is a twenty one minutes after five. I Love
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: textite this, Ryan, how can you copyright information once it's
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: in the public domain, it's information to be used, Shirley says, Jeff, No,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: that's not how help. I mean, think of all the
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: songs that are out there or movies. You can't just
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: go and steal them and use them, can you. They
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: are copyrighted even though they're in the public domain. The
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: question is whether these bots should be mining that data
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: and then you turning it into something else. That's the
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: question also good one here on Aldi will come to
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: that in a second, Bryan Bridge, So we have the
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: excellent manufacturing number on Friday. Surgeon services seventy percent of
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: our economy, the engine room of our economy. You could
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: say we've got a number from them. Yesterday. B and
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Z Business and Performance Services Index for June was fifty
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: points six. Anything above fifty is expansion. So that is good.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, not sprinting, but running, perhaps in the right direction.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Cameron Baggery Independent Economists. Good morning, Cameron,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: good morning, So thoughts I'm moving in the right direction.
• 12:19
  Speaker 7: You want to be above fifty because that's some sort
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: of positive growth. But if you look at a guess
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: the long term average for that series is around fifty
• 12:26
  Speaker 7: two point seven. So guess if you think about that
• 12:29
  Speaker 7: mode in paralleance, Yeah, the car is moving in the
• 12:31
  Speaker 7: right direction, but we're not exactly sprinting. We're not going
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: at a full pace, but we're certainly moving towards where
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: we need to be, which is the positive story?
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Is so Q one good, Q two bad, Q three
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: all good again?
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: Yes, we look at the reserve banks what's called now
• 12:49
  Speaker 7: cast of GDP, which is a collection of all these
• 12:53
  Speaker 7: sort of economic indicators. You've got the Q two that
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: looks like it was basically a zero quarter, sort of
• 13:00
  Speaker 7: trying to dodge a bit of a bullet around that.
• 13:02
  Speaker 7: Q two before the accident was going up around her moose.
• 13:04
  Speaker 7: If you look at a lot of these time the
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: indicators are going to flow into Q three as well.
• 13:09
  Speaker 7: And the Reserve banks now cast estament for Q three
• 13:11
  Speaker 7: GDPs around six zero point six zero point seven percent
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: for the quarters a diversion are we're getting back on track.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Some of the banks reckon we'll do two percent GDP
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: this year, and they reckon inflation. It's sorry, unemployment rate,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: we'll still stay out there quite high. What do you think?
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah, so if you look, what do we get for
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: Q one point eight flat for Q two? If we
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: get a save point six point seven for Q three,
• 13:39
  Speaker 7: the point five point six for Q four, you're going
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: to be up in the two percent. Sort of zo.
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: Now that's respectable. That's broad inline with what we call
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: the economic speed limit, obvious economy and supply side capacity.
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: Will we start to see the unemployment rate move down
• 13:55
  Speaker 7: immediately in Q three with the economy moving The answer
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: is no, there will be more loy a Q four stories.
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: So I think we're getting a little bit closer to
• 14:05
  Speaker 7: an inflection point for the job market. But the job
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: market sends to try the general economy. If the general
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: economy is just turning as we speak, which is what
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: we think it is, and the data is starting to
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: show there, expect job creation growth to come with about
• 14:17
  Speaker 7: a three four month leg.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Cameron Baggery, founder of Bagre Economics. Good to have you
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: on the show as always, Cameron. It is twenty four
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: minutes after five. Ryan just got back from the US
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: over the weekend. In terms of the new supermarkets, I'm
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: quite happy to not have Ald come to New Zealand
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: after visiting a couple of their stores while I was
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: over there. Try and talk to David Seymour about that.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: This is from rees. The ones I went to were messy,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: next to no staff to speak of. And the quality
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: of food is the quality of the food a significant
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: drop on what I have come to expect as a standard.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: All good trying to get these supermarkets here, but I
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: think most Kiwis are used to a far higher standard
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: and it would take some adjusting for them to get
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: used to the way that they operate their stores. I
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: mean fair enough, but I think to each man his own,
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: if there was a store here and the service was
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: cramp and the food was average, but it was cheap,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: I think people would still go and like to have
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: the option to go, wouldn't they? They would complain about it,
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: But that's quite all right and quite a different thing.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Nineteen nineteen the number to text it is twenty five
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: after five news talks thereb it is twenty seven after five.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: So we're cruising towards two percent growth off the back
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: of these two bits of good news on the economy.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Two percent is not rocketing along, but it's not stuck
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: in a ditch either, is it? Given the war, given diesel,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: given Trump, some I probably the government might even say
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: this is a fantastic result. As you know, we follow
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: the data quite closely on this program. Many of you
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: are business people. Many of you are farmers, small business owners,
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: doers in the economy, and you want to know what's
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: going on. Manufacturing headed out of the park on Friday. Now,
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Services two thirds of our growth is expanding. The key
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: missing ingredient is consumer spending. Discretionary spending. You see that
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: in hospitality. You see that another fine print from the
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: services sector read yesterday. And while an OCR hiking cycle
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: certainly doesn't help with confidence, most of it's priced in,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: and at this point the rates are still technically wind
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: at our backs rather than in our faces. American consumers
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: are far more robust and confident than us. They're far
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: more robust and confident just in general, aren't they Americans?
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: They spend like tomorrow they'll win lotto, and they basically
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: do that ninety nine percent of the time. We're far
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: more cautious here, and often with good reason. Not only
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: does that demand in America help push their economy along
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: domestic demand even when headlines suggest they shouldn't, but there
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: are ability there to dream big, invent new things and
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: create value is important here. The AI surge, the share prices,
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: the investment it generates, the plants that builds, the jobs,
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: that creates the technology that we the rest of the
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: world then adopt. Its success is a positive mindset and
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: unequivocal self belief. The Americans have it bottled and we
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: have it too. Perhaps we can take a leaf out
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: of their book and actually believe it. Bryan Bridge, staying
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: in America for a second, Who's going to replace Lindsey
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Graham in his Senate seat in South Carolina. Trump is saying,
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: give it to his sister. It'll be for the end
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: for the rest of the year. His sister, Darlene Graham
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Nordone who he loved dearly, would be an ideal candidate.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: The decision, by the way, is one for the governor
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: South Carolina, Governor Henry McMaster, So he's going to announce
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: that today. News Talk said, b We're in London.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: Next the early.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Edition full the show podcast on iHeartRadio Power it by
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: News Talks, it me you need this morning and the
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: in depth analysis Early edition with Ryan Bridge and Spark
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: for Business Technology that keeps business moving.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: News Talks that'd be twenty four minutes away from six
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: year old news talks. It'd be great to have your
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: company in fifteen minutes. Oscar highly remembers Sam Neil. We're
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: in Australia with Donnod Demayo as well. By the way,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: the strait is open, but barely a jar. Fourteen vessels,
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: half of them commercial, crossed on Sunday. So far Monday
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: three have come through this after Trump says, we are
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: now quote the guardians of the harmers straight. Henceforth America
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: shall be known as twenty percent. He's gonna he's going
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: to tax the cargo ship through there because that will
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: pay for the navy support. Now, this is the one
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: came out of Tadanaki yesterday, and it's good news bad news.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: So it's good news because our country is so beautiful
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: that tourists want to pull over onto the side of
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: the road and capture it in a photograph. Now, that
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: is a good problem to have. That means you live
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: in a country where it is so pretty that people
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: are willing to endanger their own lives on the side
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: of the street just to get a photo of it
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: before they carry on their merry way. The problem in
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: New Plymouth and this is you know, we'll know what
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: I mean coming from the south looking at Mount Taranaki,
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: beautiful one hundred kilometer in our road, rural road, Kent Road.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: That's the problem. There are no stopping signs there, and
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: there's visibility problems. There's bends, there's rises, so tourists are
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: getting out of their cars, some of them lying on
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: the road. I know, muppets, idiots. Nothing's that beautiful. And
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: you know, obviously locals are complaining about it. Police upset,
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: blah blah blah. My question to you is, because I
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: haven't driven a rental car in New Zealand around well,
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: I actually haven't done that in years, but surely I've
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: done it overseas recently. Surely they beep, they buzz and
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: they let you know about things. I was driving through
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: a tunnel, this is recently overseas, and something came over
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: the radio that said slow down, please slow down, and
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: please do not overtake. And I thought, cheaper, that's intense.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: And the seat buzzers and the dashboard lights up with
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: the speed limit, and what's going on in any natural features. Surely,
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: because everything's GPS these days, surely you would have a
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: little thing in rental cars that says, hey, don't stop
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: and lie down on the road here, you muppet, because
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: you'll get run over. Bryant Bridge twenty two to six
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Cullum and Dunedin morning, Cullum, Right, what's the Game Animal
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Council celebrating this morning?
• 20:38
  Speaker 7: Now?
• 20:38
  Speaker 8: They're celebrating feudland Swapit he heard, becoming the first in
• 20:42
  Speaker 8: the country to receive Herd of Special Interest status. The
• 20:46
  Speaker 8: wapity is a large deer species and this designation allows
• 20:49
  Speaker 8: hunters and conservation groups to work together to manage the population.
• 20:54
  Speaker 8: And there's a belief run that this new status SNAW
• 20:56
  Speaker 8: recognizes the value of game animals and hunting in New Zealand.
• 21:00
  Speaker 8: The Game Animal Council CEO's Karina Jordan, who says it's
• 21:04
  Speaker 8: a modern approach to game management. She says it allows
• 21:07
  Speaker 8: the herds to be managed for their hunting purposes while
• 21:10
  Speaker 8: also ensuring conservation values, which will reduce impacts on a
• 21:14
  Speaker 8: conservation estate. She hopes this landmark announcement will pave the
• 21:17
  Speaker 8: way for more great how's your weather? Mainly fine chants
• 21:21
  Speaker 8: of an afternoon shower fifteenth for Janedan today, all right,
• 21:24
  Speaker 8: thank you.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Claires and christ It morning, Claire, Good morning.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: St Thomas of Canterbury College. The principal are a bit
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: worried about the site.
• 21:32
  Speaker 9: Yeah, they've been put on notice about the site. But
• 21:34
  Speaker 9: effectively the school site, which is at Stockburn here in
• 21:37
  Speaker 9: christ Church is owned by the Christian Brothers of New
• 21:40
  Speaker 9: Zealand Charitable Trust. That charitable trust, which is based in Australia,
• 21:44
  Speaker 9: is planning to sell the assets, so the land and
• 21:47
  Speaker 9: the buildings of the school and the reason for that
• 21:49
  Speaker 9: is they wish to use the money to pay sexual
• 21:51
  Speaker 9: abuse victims in Australia. Now, the principle of Saint Thomas
• 21:55
  Speaker 9: of Canterbury College, Steve Hart, has written a tribute to
• 21:58
  Speaker 9: the school, saying obviously this bool opposes this and we'll
• 22:01
  Speaker 9: fight this through the courts. But in the meantime he's
• 22:04
  Speaker 9: adamant that the school is about more than its buildings.
• 22:06
  Speaker 9: He says the school's true value comes from its students,
• 22:09
  Speaker 9: families and staff over the past sixty years, and he's
• 22:12
  Speaker 9: crediting the community with helping fund life saving cancer treatment
• 22:16
  Speaker 9: for him personally as well, and says they'll come together
• 22:18
  Speaker 9: and do the same here. He says it puts simply
• 22:21
  Speaker 9: the school will always be defined by people more than buildings.
• 22:25
  Speaker 9: As you were the Claire mainly find a bit of
• 22:27
  Speaker 9: patche high cloud here northeast sill. He's turning northwest a
• 22:30
  Speaker 9: warm one though, seventeen degrees very good to.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: Be us in Wellington, to be us, good morning good
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: a Wellington City Council seeking feedback on a proposed improvement
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: to a key road through the central city. Now when
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: I read the posed improvement, I mean I read that
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: the Wellington City Council probably wants to take some of
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: the road away and put a cycle lane there. Am
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: I right bang on the money.
• 22:51
  Speaker 10: This is on Bunny Streets, which runs down from the
• 22:54
  Speaker 10: Beehive to the Central train station. So it's hoping to
• 22:57
  Speaker 10: make what it calls pedestrian bike traffic safety improvements, making
• 23:02
  Speaker 10: it easier for people to move near Wellington Railway Station.
• 23:05
  Speaker 10: So among these proposed changes is a separated two way
• 23:09
  Speaker 10: bike lane on the northern side and the removal of
• 23:12
  Speaker 10: six metered parking spaces. So it also wants to change
• 23:15
  Speaker 10: the turning lanes in the intersection with Waterloo Key, the
• 23:19
  Speaker 10: main road, to make way for this bike lane. The
• 23:22
  Speaker 10: council says this is to reduce conflict between street users
• 23:26
  Speaker 10: and create clearer routes through the area. This public consultation
• 23:30
  Speaker 10: that the last four is going to run through till
• 23:32
  Speaker 10: August third.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Have they said how many people have died on that road?
• 23:37
  Speaker 10: No, they haven't, but they have told us that ten
• 23:40
  Speaker 10: thousand people will walk across it every day.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Right, and none of them have died. That's pretty impressive.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Actually when you think about it, how do your weather.
• 23:48
  Speaker 10: Our strong northerlies and saw for us this morning, showers
• 23:51
  Speaker 10: possible this evening and fourteen degrees the high in Wellington conflict?
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, thank you to bes Wendy's Inn. AOK,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: good morning, Wendy. What an education is taking legal advice
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: about funding of a stadium?
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 24:05
  Speaker 11: Do you know the stadium we're talking about the Buffeton
• 24:07
  Speaker 11: Thompson Stadium and Selwyn it's also a high school. So
• 24:11
  Speaker 11: there's controversy over the future of this East Auckland stadium,
• 24:14
  Speaker 11: which kind of doubles is two things. The ord Aki
• 24:16
  Speaker 11: Local Board says the Ministry of Education hasn't been contributing
• 24:20
  Speaker 11: its share of operating costs for Barfet and Thompson Stadium,
• 24:23
  Speaker 11: which doubles is the Selwyn College Gym Ministry says the
• 24:26
  Speaker 11: college is meeting its obligations or Achy Board Deputy chairs
• 24:29
  Speaker 11: Scott Milon says the ministry is now offering to take
• 24:32
  Speaker 11: over the stadium without paying for it. He says it
• 24:34
  Speaker 11: was built by the community, the ministry wants it despite
• 24:37
  Speaker 11: not paying its fair share. He says the buildings, forty
• 24:40
  Speaker 11: years old, now needs a plan to keep it in
• 24:42
  Speaker 11: good shape. The Ministry of Education says it is taking
• 24:45
  Speaker 11: legal advice.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: Do you know when people say about the eastern suburbs,
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: do you know where? I'm like, no, I've never been.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: What never go over there?
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: You have?
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: So now I have no reason to go to the
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Eastern suburbs never in my life. How's that weather? When
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: did we know? You looked at me like I was like,
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: I'm like pretty sure it's done crushed it. Believe it
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: all right?
• 25:12
  Speaker 11: Well, the weather today is actually a few showers mainly
• 25:15
  Speaker 11: this morning clearing though I think to a fine day
• 25:18
  Speaker 11: perhaps in the afternoon. Normally it will turn westerly and warmer,
• 25:21
  Speaker 11: seventeen degrees.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: You know, people say you must come to comb Cod
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: can go to the beach, and I say, I'm just
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: telling you no, no, no, I will not. Hey, thank you,
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: good to see you. It is seventeen away from six
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: year on news talks be we're in Australia. Next news
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: talks of bad is fourteen minutes away from six Now.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: Some very sad news yesterday that Sir Sam neil legendary
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: KEU reactor has died. And this these are his words
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: when he was talking, because obviously he was diagnosed with
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: cancer but then announced he was cancer free, pre announcing
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: that this was his thoughts on dying.
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: I'm not in any way frightened of dying. That it
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: doesn't most has never worried me from the beginning, but
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: I would be annoyed. I'd be annoyed because there are
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: things I still wanted to.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Oscar kindly remembers Sam in ten.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Minutes international correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Who've got a Donald tomorrow, our Australia correspondent. Who's morning,
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: donn A good morning, good morning to you.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: There have been tributes are plenty from all over Australia,
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: including your Prime Minister for Sam Neil Oh of course.
• 26:35
  Speaker 12: And we are describing him as an honorary Australian. Everybody
• 26:40
  Speaker 12: loved Sam Neil and we've heard from many many people.
• 26:45
  Speaker 12: The Ossie Prime Minister Antony Urbaniz, he paid tribute to
• 26:47
  Speaker 12: the actor and he actually turned to Twitter or X
• 26:51
  Speaker 12: I should say, and said that Sam Neil starting so
• 26:54
  Speaker 12: many beloved Australian stories and he earned a special place
• 26:57
  Speaker 12: in Australian hearts. He was wry and dry, I thoughtful
• 27:00
  Speaker 12: and laconic, and Sam fought illness with the same dignity,
• 27:04
  Speaker 12: humor and conviction that gave strength to his every performance.
• 27:07
  Speaker 12: And he will be much mourned and long remembered. May
• 27:09
  Speaker 12: he rest in peace. That was from the PM, but
• 27:11
  Speaker 12: then many other tributes also from actor David Wenham for instance,
• 27:16
  Speaker 12: saying that he was aside from being an international all
• 27:19
  Speaker 12: round legend, he was the kindest, cheekiest, most generous and
• 27:23
  Speaker 12: supportive friend going around. It was only a few years
• 27:26
  Speaker 12: ago actually that I was able to moderate a Q
• 27:30
  Speaker 12: and A session in Carlton in Melbourne, Victoria with Brian
• 27:35
  Speaker 12: Brown and Sam Neil and Rachel Ward. And I remember
• 27:39
  Speaker 12: Sam Neil as one of the kindest and he knew
• 27:44
  Speaker 12: I was very very nervous on the night actually I've
• 27:46
  Speaker 12: got to say, and he was so calming and so lovely,
• 27:51
  Speaker 12: and I have very very fond memories of Sam Neil
• 27:53
  Speaker 12: as well, and like to pay tribute to an incredible
• 27:57
  Speaker 12: actor and incredible man.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: Now tell us about this former Sydney childcare worker who's
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: been charged with loads of offenses.
• 28:05
  Speaker 12: Oh, honestly, I have to say, I'll purfase this story
• 28:08
  Speaker 12: of saying that police urge any victims or survivors to
• 28:10
  Speaker 12: seek support, a talk to a trusted person. But Australia
• 28:13
  Speaker 12: Federal Police have contacted more than one hundred and twenty
• 28:16
  Speaker 12: families they're investigating alleged defending by a former Sydney childcare worker.
• 28:21
  Speaker 12: The thirty five year old man has been charged with
• 28:22
  Speaker 12: three hundred and twenty nine offenses allegedly committed over a
• 28:26
  Speaker 12: sixteen year period against one hundred and thirty six victims.
• 28:30
  Speaker 12: They're still looking for looking to identify twenty two of
• 28:34
  Speaker 12: those victims. The police operation spanned twelve months and involved
• 28:38
  Speaker 12: the analysis of two point four million electronic files. And
• 28:43
  Speaker 12: this man, he found guilty, faces up to twenty years
• 28:46
  Speaker 12: prison over some of those charges.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: All right, that's Domin Tomayo our Australia correspondent time is
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: eleven minutes away from sex. Let's hear another tribute now,
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: this one from a very familiar voice you will know
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: well from Kath and Kim.
• 29:01
  Speaker 13: He's just a one off, such a talented, classy, beautiful
• 29:07
  Speaker 13: rye norm human being, really lovely man. And I'm just
• 29:16
  Speaker 13: very sad for all who loved him, and there are
• 29:20
  Speaker 13: so many of us. God bless you. Sam.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: You will know the voice Magda. She's also going through
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: her own battle at the moment, so you can imagine
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: why she became upset while talking about I'm sharing that
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: on social media a few hours ago. Also in Australia,
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: just very interesting the government changing the law there. You
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: will know we've spoken about this for four investors trying
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: to get property investors out of the housing market so
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: that they can bring the price of property down because
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: the price of property has just kept going north and
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: north and north. After COVID, we're now started to come down.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: There's just kept taking off and so they Labor did
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: to deal with the Greens too on mortgages in super
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: funds that by property, but also there was the negative
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: gearing band. All of that stuff has culminated in investors
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: now targeting for a place where first home buyers actually
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: have a strong foothold, and that's the new build market.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: So you've got your investors going into your new build
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: areas and buying up the houses because those rules don't
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: apply now at the moment. Here's some numbers. Forty percent
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: of purchases in new build markets are locals first home buyers,
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: nineteen percent of investors, and so that number they're worried
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: is going to actually flip. So will the thing result
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: in more young people, more first home buyers buying homes,
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: or will it actually push them out even further. That's
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: the question over there at the moment. Also this morning,
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: this is good news if you are into a chip
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: investment and you don't mind a little bit of a
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: data center. Intel is pumping a whole bunch of money
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: into Ireland. In fact, five point seven billion, that's us.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: This is the American ship maker Intel. They are manufacturing
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: chip fabrication facilities. They call them an island and it
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: is a lot of money that they're pumping in there.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: And we are supposedly wanting a whole bunch of this
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: kind of money coming to New Zealand. We're wanting data
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: centers here, and we meant to be doing it because
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: the rest of the world wants renewable energy to drive
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: it all. Well, where is it currently, Ireland? Eight to six?
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: I think Hererett first, Ryan Bridge on early edition with
