  Speaker 2: it's now brought home the remains of the last Gaza hostage.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: A significant moment for people here and for his family.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: But it also opens up now the possibility of moving
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: to the second stage of the cease firing Gaza, albeit
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: that is fraught with further complication to the US.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: They're getting absolutely hammered, particularly in New York by thiss
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: monster storm. At least fourteen have died and hundreds of
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: without pain. The temperature is not likely to get above freezing.
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: It's more likely that things are going to get worse
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: before they get better.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Staying in the US for a second. Trump's announced that
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: he's sending in his borders are Tom Homan to Minnesota.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: This is after the shooting of that man by federal
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: immigration agents, the ICE agents. Trump says the administration is
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: reviewing everything, and he's even hinted at pulling out of
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: the state eventually.
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: All together, federal agents are far outnumbering the number of
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: local police officers here by about a ratio of.
• 1:28
  Speaker 6: Four to one.
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: People are increasingly becoming frustrated and they want Ice out
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: of the city.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition with
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and one Root Love where you Live News.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Talk said be it is interesting what's happening there? Eight
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: minutes after five nine nine two the number to text
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: interesting what's happening there? Because a couple of reasons. One
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: is Christy Gnome, who's Trump's you know, the one who
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: normally deals with the ice stuff for Trump. She's kind
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: of been sedadline now because Tom Homan is going in
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: there and he's tough but fear. This is Trump's tweet
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: that he sends out or a truth social tough but
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: fear and will report directly to me. Now she came
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: out and defended the Ice agents who shot this guy.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: And remember quite stridently as she did over renee Good
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: the first one, and the video just doesn't really match up,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: does it? Just not a great look. So he's sending
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: he obviously realizes this is a problem, but more importantly
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: the Republicans, because they've got midterms coming up end of
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: the year. The Republican, one of the would be Republican
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: candidates in Minnesota for governor is pulling out of the race. Now.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: He's a lawyer and he's also representing the Ice agent
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: who shot renee Good, and he is against illegal immigration
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: and supports a crackdown on it like most Republicans do.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: But he is joining a couple of others and a
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: growing number of Republicans who are saying, actually, yeah, we
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: support what you're doing and the intent of it, but
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: the way you're going about it is just all wrong.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: So he's left the race. He's not going to run.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: And he said even the debates, the Republican debates, because
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: he's obviously not the candidate yet but wanted to be
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: the candidate. He said, you go to a Republican debate
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: in Minnesota and they're not even talking about immigration, or
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: they're not even talking about ICE. You've got thousands of
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: ICE agents around the city and it's not even up
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: for discussion. It says there was more talk about abortion.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: How he thinks that's a bit wrong. So he's leaving
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: the race. And again this is the guy who's representing
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: the agent who shot one of these protesters. So it's
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: not like he's you know, it's not like he's offside
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: with Trump in that respect, but the tactics, anyone who's
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: seen the video you have to say a bit off.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, you don't want to look like Trump's hammering
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Iran over the way that they're dealing with protesters. You
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: can't have ICE agents, federal ICE agents shooting people or
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: executing people in the streets. Nine two ninety two is
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: the number to text. It's just gone ten minutes after.
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: Five, Ryan Bridge.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, coming up next, we're going to talk to Well,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: there's a I'll get to the AI job stuff because
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: it's quite interesting. There's one report out of Australia overnight
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: and there's another out of the UK, and it's to
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: do with jobs and young people. If you're at UNI,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: or you've got a kid who's at UNI or about
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: to leave UNI and become a graduate. Good luck getting work. Well,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: that's kind of what these reports are telling you. We'll
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: look at that. Plus we will before six speak to
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: the woman who's leaving the Retail Crime Group All Ahead,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: News Talks MB.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: News and Views you Trust to start your day. It's
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: earlier this ship with Ryan Bridge and one roof Love
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Where you Live News TALKSB five.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Thirteen on News Talks MB. So there's a survey out
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: of Australia of CEOs and they ask them, how do
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: you expect AI will impact your jobs the jobs you
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: have on offer in your companies over the coming years.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: And it's interesting the results. So eleven percent think that
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: it will affect senior level roles. Senior level roles will
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: have to go or decrease mid level rolls. Thirty two
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: percent think they will have to go junior roles. Look
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: out if you're about to leave university junior roles. Half
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: of Australians CEOs think AI will lead to a decrease
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: in junior roles. Now, the saving grace is that this
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: hasn't happened yet, so they have increased and are using
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: more AI in so far that hasn't meant that junior
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: roles are gone. They are just doing other things. Go
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: to the UK. So they've got a British AI job
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: study out overnight as well, and they say productivity is
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: up thanks to AI tools eleven and a half percent. Fantastic. Great,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: we could use a bit of that down Under. But
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: net jobs are being lost there. They're down eight percent
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: and that is higher the UK, high in the US, Japan,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Germany and Australia. And they're asking the question why, Well,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: they reckon it's to do with the cost of labor.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Higher taxes in the UK, high national insurance premiums in
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: the UK, which remember the labor government there has just increased.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: If you have to spend more to pay workers and
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: to keep workers, you just don't hire them. You get
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: AI to do the jobs. Bryan Bridge, let's go to Principles.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: A new survey shows only eighteen percent of teachers actually
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: dream of becoming a school principal. More than half of
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: primary school teachers say they have no interest at all.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Jason Miles, as president of the New Zealand Principles Federation,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: joins us this morning. Hey, Jason, more than it run.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Is this surprising I mean not everyone you know on
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: the shop floor wants to be the boss.
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: Well, you know, principal ships a challenging role, but that's
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: also rewarding role. I think teachers are very busy doing
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: their own job and sometimes they don't look at the
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: potential and the opportunities in front of them.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: What do you think? They're completely different skill sets, aren't they.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: One is a management job, isn't it.
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: Well, you have to be a quality teacher first round.
• 7:16
  Speaker 7: To become a principal, you have to be a registered teacher,
• 7:19
  Speaker 7: and yeah, you need to have that experience to lead
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: teaching and learning in a school. But once you get
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: into that role, you understand the role is all about relationships.
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: And you know, you've got a lot of other varied
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: roles such as employment and finance, health and safety, property,
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: crisis management. So yet a lot of the roles about relationships.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: What's the pay difference if you're a senior teacher, been
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: there a long time, you know, top of your game
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: kind of thing versus a principle.
• 7:52
  Speaker 7: That varies. It depends on the size of the school
• 7:55
  Speaker 7: that you're a principal and the role the middle leadership
• 7:59
  Speaker 7: or senior leadership that you've had, but there isn't a
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: huge discrepancy when you look at smaller schools. As you
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: get into larger schools, there is a larger discrepancy.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Is that the problem because why would you have all
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: the responsibility and not much more pay.
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: Well, I guess we don't always get into a role
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: because of the pay, but it is certainly valued and earned.
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: But our teachers sometimes don't back themselves. So we need
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: to have our experienced principles identifying those teachers who will
• 8:37
  Speaker 7: be great principles because you know, that's the future of
• 8:41
  Speaker 7: our profession. So our experienced principles have a role to play.
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: The government also has a role to play, and we're
• 8:49
  Speaker 7: very pleased to have worked with the government to get
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: two hundred aspiring principles places for professional development this year.
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: It was well over subscribed. That is something that we
• 9:00
  Speaker 7: haven't had an education for a number of years.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Jason, appreciate your time this morning. Thank you as always,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Jason Marles Kaipo North School Principal and President of the
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Principal Federation. Seventeen after five bread Rich. So, just because
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: you work in a certain area, you know there's a
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: there's a man by the name of Will, another by
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: the name of Ed, and another even still by the
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: name of Michael, who run this place. I have no
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: desire to do their job, you know, I'd ruther. It's
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: way more fun doing what I do here in the
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: studio I have known and Kenzy, would you want to
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: You've got no ambitions to go? No, hell no, she said,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Hell no. You've got to deal with divas who work
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: on an absolute nightmare and totally different skill set, totally
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: different job to what we do on a day to
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: day basis our bread and butter. So just because you
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: work in an area doesn't mean you necessarily want to
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: be the boss, or do you Nine two nine two
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: the number text eighteen after five coming up next, how
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: you can save up to a third off your power
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: built quite interesting going into winter. Eighteen after five, The.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: News you Need this morning and the in depth analysis
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: early edition with Ryan Bridge and one Route Love where
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: you lift news talks that'd.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Be five on your Tuesday morning and you report out
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: this morning. Reckons shifting to more off peak electricity use
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: could wipe three billion bucks a year off our power
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: bills collectively. Of course, the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: found a quarter of on peak of peak demand. I
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: should say this is like your winter evenings could be
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: moved to quieter times using existing technology without changing how
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: we live and work. Sounds great. Margaret Cooney is Octopus
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Energy chief operating officer, joins me this morning, Margaret, good morning.
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: Good morning.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: So how does this work? Am I going to shift?
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Do I do my instead of doing my washing in
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: the evening, do it during the day or what are
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: we talking about here?
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: There's essentially so as a customer, you would be shifting
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: your energy usage to those times when it's hopefully and
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: it should be cheaper for you as a customer. And
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: so that might mean that rather than putting the dishwasher
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: on at seven o'clock at night, when it's still there's
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: still a lot of demand on the grid, you put
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: the timer on at that point and the dishwasher goes
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: on at say eleven, when there's much less pressure on
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: the electricity grid.
• 11:22
  Speaker 7: And one of the.
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: Great things about that is that one that will save
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: It will help us avoways having to invest in really
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: expensive infrastructure. It will save consumers money. And the other
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: thing is it will help us into grate more energy
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: users and more renewables into the system much more quickly,
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: because one of the quite interesting things is most of
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: the time that there is lots of available bandwidth essentially
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: on our electricity system, apart from in those peak times
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: at the morning, in the morning around breakfast, and in
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: the evening around dinner time. Outside of those times, we've
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: got lots of opportunity to shift our usage around and
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: yet grow our usage of electricity, which should be good
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: for consumers and businesses.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: If we all start delaying our dishwashers till eleven pm
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: and they all go on eleven pm, do we not
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: create a new peak or you know, many peaks.
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: It's a good point. You can soften the peak. But
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: one of the things that starting to become available, and
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: we make this available for consumers with new evs, is
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: that we can actually directly manage when when some appliances
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: go on, so in return for a further discount consumers
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: if they link the EV and this could be a
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: heat pump or hot water system, we can then select
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: when that the plants goes on within the limits that
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: the customer sets us around what they need, and that
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: would avoid that convergence thing that you're talking about. But
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: in the short term that's not a problem for New Zealand.
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: Just shifting out of the peak is what we should
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: be aiming for immediately.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: So you do octopus, you would control you'd be able
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: to turn on my EV charge or turn on my
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: washing machine or whatever at a certain time if I
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: give you permission.
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we actually already control about ten percent of the
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: UK's even and that that technology is there, it's getting
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: much better. Lots of the plants manufacturers, even Fisher and
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: Piper locally investing lots of effort in trying to work
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: out how they can make their applants is more interoperable
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: and speak with their with the energy companies and the
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: market system. So this is a space where technology is
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: moving so quickly and there is a huge amount of
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: potential benefit for consumers directly but also New Zealand. And
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: you know, it's one of the spaces that really excites
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: me as someone in the industry.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, it's one of those cases where I would
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: be more than happy for you to take over. And
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: you know you do you do the maths, you do
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: the hard work, and I will just get a cheaper
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: power bill, Thank you very much. Margaret Kearney, appreciate your time.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Octopus Energy Chief Operating Officer. It is twenty five minutes
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: after five gold hitting a new record. Tell you about that.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Next the early edition for All the Show podcast on
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: iHeartRadio How It By News Talks at.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Me News Talks B five twenty seven. Have you seen
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: how much gold is worth lately? Yesterday hit another new
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: record five thousand US dollars an ounce that was up
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: sixty percent last year alone. And if you watch this
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: stuff closer, you'll know it's not just happened suddenly overnight.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: It's been building slowly but surely since basically since Trump
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: took offers, investors looking for safer places to put their money,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: all that sort of stuff. People have been worried about
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: the AI bubble bursting, so they put their money into
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: gold instead of into stocks. The price skyrockets. But the
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: speed that this is happening, particularly just recently, is pretty remarkable.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: You might remember last year in December I told you
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: about JP Morgan. They were predicting the price would hit
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: five thousand dollars by quarter four of this year, and
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: it's just hit that price in quarter one. Goldman Sacks.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: They were saying yesterday. It'll hit five than four hundred
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: by the end of this year. But at this rate
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: that might be underselling it too, don't you. Reckon honestly
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: makes you want to rip your wedding ring off your
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: airings and flog them, get them on trade me asap.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: One thing is for sure that these prices gold diggers.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: The prospect is that is not the sort cargne things
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: about will be lying to get the stuff out of
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: the ground quicker than you can say fast track. Every
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: time the price goes up, so too does the value
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: of those projects. The quicker that they can get up
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: and running in places like Otago and yh which has
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: been given the fast track, by the way, the better
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: the return for the investors. There's only around did you
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: know this, two hundred thousand tons of gold that's ever
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: been mined, mostly this has happened since nineteen fifty. It's
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: enough to fill two or three Olympic sized swimming pools,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: fascinating a every gold bar and a vault, every wedding ring,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: every necklace melted down doesn't actually amount to that much,
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: does it? And they reckon there's about sixty four thousand
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: tons remaining underground that's successible to mine, and that makes
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: this rare and precious metal, which will surely become more
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: precious as the world becomes more uncertain, Ryan Bridge. Just
• 16:54

• 18:02
  Speaker 2: They will head forward today. We'll speak to Donald tomorrow
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: out of Australia. Lots of you texting in about the
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: minimum wage and AI. This relationship between the two things. Ryan,
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: massive minimum wage hikes are making hiring too expensive, so
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: jobs will inevitably be lost to AI. Ryan, AI can
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: have This is from Karen, AI can have my job.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: I hate it, And David makes the point Ryan, the
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: panic around AI is understandable but also misplaced. Every major
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: technological leap has triggered the same fear that machines will
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: make people redundant. Yet he says, history keeps proving the opposite.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: AI won't replace people. It will simply replace the parts
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: of work that were never truly human in the first place,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: and all the other stuff, do all the boring stuff
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: and leave us to the fun stuff. Well, David, I
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: hope you're right. But if you look at that report
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: out of the UK overnight, they have a net as
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: a result of AI, a net job loss of eight percent.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: News talks their B twenty three Away from Sex Bryan, BH.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Go to our reporters around the country and we will
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: start with Colum and dned and calm, good morning morning. Right,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: so you've got a shortage of dementia beds there he.
• 19:15
  Speaker 8: Look, Denedan does, and we're just one of several regions
• 19:18
  Speaker 8: facing a shortage the Age Care Associations very worried about this.
• 19:22
  Speaker 8: They say these recent reports that patients are being forced
• 19:25
  Speaker 8: to leave Duneden because a local facilities can't meet the
• 19:29
  Speaker 8: demand is concerning. Similar cases have emerged in Nelson over
• 19:33
  Speaker 8: the past week. Christ Church is also struggling. The Age
• 19:36
  Speaker 8: Care Association says prolonged under investment and outdated policy settings
• 19:41
  Speaker 8: haven't kept up with the needs of an aging population.
• 19:44
  Speaker 8: Its chief executive as Tracy Martin. She says we've known
• 19:46
  Speaker 8: about this problem for three decades and have not planned accordingly.
• 19:51
  Speaker 8: And she says it just highlights the urgent need for
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: investment in aged care infrastructure.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: All right, how's your weather?
• 19:56
  Speaker 8: Comem few light shellers continue here today clearing the staff.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Soon south westerlies and sixteen nice one, Thank you Claire
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: and christ your take Claire, good morning. So what have
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: police worried about the car show in North Canterbury over
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: the weekend? What are they worried about?
• 20:09
  Speaker 9: Yeah, this is the Muscle Car Madness car show. It's
• 20:12
  Speaker 9: held at Rangular Showgrounds every year. This has been the
• 20:14
  Speaker 9: scene of concern for honestly decades, but this year it
• 20:18
  Speaker 9: has been worse. Canterbury Police seized eleven vehicles. They made
• 20:21
  Speaker 9: one arrest during the event, but area Commander Inspector Peter
• 20:25
  Speaker 9: Cooper says, well, the car show itself was fairly well
• 20:28
  Speaker 9: run and he does acknowledge there are some benefits to
• 20:30
  Speaker 9: the local community. The behavior at a nearby camping ground
• 20:34
  Speaker 9: was disappointing and he's questioning if it's even suitable for
• 20:37
  Speaker 9: future events. Obviously, there was very wet weather in the
• 20:39
  Speaker 9: lead up to the event, which caused some added pressure
• 20:42
  Speaker 9: for the organizers. But put simply, it's honestly just a
• 20:45
  Speaker 9: mud pit there. Now the cars were, you know, spinning tires.
• 20:48
  Speaker 9: It's turned into an absolute mess. The organizers have started
• 20:51
  Speaker 9: a give a little page to try to repair the showgrounds.
• 20:54
  Speaker 9: They do say the weather was out of everyone's control,
• 20:56
  Speaker 9: but the driving was not. That said, many locals are
• 20:59
  Speaker 9: calling forought the show to be canned. Police say they'll
• 21:02
  Speaker 9: review the weekend's activity and we'll be taking further action
• 21:06
  Speaker 9: if it is required.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: All right, how's your weather today?
• 21:08
  Speaker 9: Mostly claudy, more showers though on the forecast here in
• 21:11
  Speaker 9: christ Church southwesterly is easy. A bit later in seventeen
• 21:14
  Speaker 9: all right, thank you.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Clear Max and Wellington Heymex good morning. One of my
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: favorite cafe is the Spruce Goose, but it's closing.
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, A few people would say that I think this
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: is yeah, a bit of an institution in the capital,
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: massive cafe restaurant in Lyle Bay, just behind the airport,
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: almost on the beach. Spruce Goose failed to do a
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: new deal with the airport which owns the land, so
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: they now have to find a new premises. Apparently a
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: new cafe or something related is going in there, so
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: I'm sure they'll be capitalizing on the people who aren't
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: listening or reading to the news this week on the
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: thirteen odd years Spruce Goose was there. Spruce is looking
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: for a new premises themselves. The other day another closure
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: was announced in the central city as well. Leuven a
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: very nice Belgian beer bar near Lampton Key. Leuven's last
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: day of trey is this Thursday. That place has been
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: opened since two thousand in the CBD, and that one
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: does seem to be more business performance related. Last year,
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: of course, we had what felt like an endless string
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: of hospitality places shutting their doors, but at the same
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: time new places have been opening. We had a new
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: craft beer bar open a week ago off Courtney Place
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: three Sisters, which has expanded from Tadanaki Kraft Beer Courtney Place.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: Not necessarily a recipe for success, but a real show
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: of optimism from them.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there'll be others that will move in and take
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: over the least hopefully Max.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: How ssh you were there early showers but clearing Southerly's
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: seventeen the high.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Nice one, thank you, and Neivas and Auckland Hey, Neva,
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: good morning. Now what are we doing with our man
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: holes in Auckland.
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: Yes, well, look, Auckland Council going to install thousands of
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: safety mechanisms on these manholes. Now, this follows please from
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: a father, From the father of the man killed in
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: the Auckland Anniversary floods. Steve Miller says that his son
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: Daniel died in January twenty twenty three. This was when
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: he was wading in way to a valley flood waters
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: and after stepping into a concealed open drain. So the
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: council flood Resilience operations heid that's Andrew Skelton. He says,
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: manhold covers they can become dislodge during flooding and of
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: course this is creating the safety risk. So he says
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: now the council is going to spend about nine point
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: five million dollars. This is over the next four years.
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: So what the council is going to do. They're going
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: to install the safety grills and self closing covers in
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: those high risk areas.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: So you can't fall in like it's walking through floodwater,
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: you can't fall in them. Yeah, okay, how's our weather today?
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: Cloudy, odd shower, but the good news fine spells increasing
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: from midday. Today's high twenty three, and it's going to
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: be fine, fine, fine, no rain over the next couple
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: of days.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: We keep saying this, and then then every time you
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: check the met Service tomorrow there's rain, and then the
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: next day there's rain. I'm like someone's lyinger Lie appends
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: on fire EVID thank you. It is eighteen minutes away
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: from six news talks. He'd be, We'll get to Donna
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Tomayo out of Australia.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Next international correspondence with ends in eye insurance peace of
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Card it to text on newsbooks, there'd be, let's go
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: to Donna Tomayo, our Australia correspondent. We'll get to Carolin
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Young on sunny Kirschell in just a second, Donna, good morning,
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: good morning. You've got a big heat wave coming for
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: southeastern states.
• 24:22
  Speaker 10: I'm sweating. I'm sweating now. I tell you what. It's
• 24:25
  Speaker 10: going to be a hot one. Oh my goodness. Me
• 24:28
  Speaker 10: wiping my brow as we speak. So the temperatures are
• 24:31
  Speaker 10: going to stay forty degrees and above for a little
• 24:34
  Speaker 10: while yet. And we know that the parts of Southeast
• 24:38
  Speaker 10: Australia have really sweltered already. It is the worst heat
• 24:41
  Speaker 10: wave in decades. We know that Melbourne today is going
• 24:46
  Speaker 10: to see the highest maximum in seventeen years. It's going
• 24:50
  Speaker 10: to be wait for it, forty five degrees yesterday and
• 24:54
  Speaker 10: parts of South Australia. It reached in Saduna, for instance,
• 24:58
  Speaker 10: forty nine point five five degrees. Now this is scorching hot,
• 25:02
  Speaker 10: isn't it. I mean we've got forty six point one
• 25:05
  Speaker 10: in Dubbo, We've had forty eight in an area called Nna.
• 25:09
  Speaker 10: And you know some of these temperatures are around twenty
• 25:12
  Speaker 10: one degrees above average, and it looks like records could
• 25:16
  Speaker 10: be broken again today. Forty nine degrees forecast for mill Drawer,
• 25:20
  Speaker 10: which is in Victoria. That would be a new Victorian record,
• 25:23
  Speaker 10: because the current record is forty eight point eight and
• 25:26
  Speaker 10: that was felt at Hopeton in two thousand and nine.
• 25:30
  Speaker 10: Now I'm going to try to explain why it's so hot. Apparently,
• 25:33
  Speaker 10: this is what's happening. A stationary high pressure system has
• 25:36
  Speaker 10: anchored itself a few k's above New South Wales and
• 25:38
  Speaker 10: the wings blow away from high pressure apparently, and this
• 25:42
  Speaker 10: compression process is leading to a rapid warming of an
• 25:46
  Speaker 10: air mass, and that is causing wait for it, a
• 25:49
  Speaker 10: dome of hot air that is moving very very slowly.
• 25:53
  Speaker 10: As you can imagine, this is also enhancing fire risks.
• 25:56
  Speaker 10: So many many communities across the Southeast States are now
• 26:00
  Speaker 10: on extreme high alert.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: I challenge you as well, I challenge you don't under
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: stand outside at midday and try and explain that again,
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: you might have travel hope heating up in the charts,
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: the music charts as well. Because paul this is so weird.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: Pauline Hanson has released a song and is releasing a
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: movie as well with a Neighbours star, Holly Valance.
• 26:21
  Speaker 10: Yes, well, this was originally released quite a while ago,
• 26:24
  Speaker 10: and Holly Valance was on Neighbors many many many years ago,
• 26:29
  Speaker 10: but apparently, according to Pauline Hanson, Holly John did the
• 26:32
  Speaker 10: chance to cover her own song and there's an animated
• 26:36
  Speaker 10: video that goes with it, and it does mock well,
• 26:41
  Speaker 10: it seems to mock very much so trans people, references
• 26:45
  Speaker 10: so called snowflakes, and also makes fun of what Pauline
• 26:49
  Speaker 10: Hanson deems as woke culture. Now she thinks it could
• 26:53
  Speaker 10: even chart and she says, wouldn't it be interesting if
• 26:56
  Speaker 10: perhaps the ABC Triple j would have to play this song?
• 27:01
  Speaker 10: It's from a movie she's made. This is all getting
• 27:04
  Speaker 10: very interesting, isn't it? A quizzical? A super progressive movie
• 27:09
  Speaker 10: that's the name of the film, where an individual travels
• 27:13
  Speaker 10: beyond the nam bubble. It really is an interesting move
• 27:18
  Speaker 10: for Pauline Hanson. She was also asked recently she believed
• 27:20
  Speaker 10: she could be Prime Minister one day and she said, look,
• 27:22
  Speaker 10: what would be a big ask, But she says it
• 27:24
  Speaker 10: it is possible. Let's see what the future holds for
• 27:27
  Speaker 10: Pauline Hanson.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Donald Donald, my Australia correspondent. Thing. I mean,
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: people are losing their minds because of the heat, clearly,
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: but it's interestingly enough in the movie that she's releasing
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: the Progressives movie The Progressive People. They are forced to
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: go beyond their you know, when they're rainbow malfunctions, they
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: are catapulted into the real world. And in the real
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: world in the movie, the Prime Minister is none other
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: than Pauline Hanson and living away from sex. The bard
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: of the Ministerial Advisory Group into Retail is falling apart
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: at the scenes. It seems three out of the five
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: members of the board resigned since twenty twenty four when
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: it was created. CEO of Retailing ZED Carolyn Young is
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: the latest. She blames board chairs Sonny Cashelle. Good morning, Carolyn,
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: what any Ryan, what exactly can you give us an
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: example of what he did, you know, to really irk
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: you or to make you quit.
• 28:22
  Speaker 11: Look, I think it's been a series of challenges that
• 28:26
  Speaker 11: have gone on from a very long time. Especially I
• 28:29
  Speaker 11: think it started back when the Dairy Owners Association to
• 28:34
  Speaker 11: put out a press relief personally attacking me and my professionalism.
• 28:38
  Speaker 11: And Sonny was unprepared to do anything about another member
• 28:43
  Speaker 11: on the NAG attacking another member, so you know, it's
• 28:48
  Speaker 11: really unprofessional, and yeah, he just laughed about it and said, oh,
• 28:53
  Speaker 11: you know that these things have happened, and one of
• 28:56
  Speaker 11: the other members who were supporting me on the mag
• 28:58
  Speaker 11: he raised it with the chair and said it was
• 29:01
  Speaker 11: inappropriate for that sort of thing that happened in the media.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: What did when you say attacking, what what was the attack?
• 29:08
  Speaker 11: They put out a met press release which in March
• 29:11
  Speaker 11: last year which effectively attacked me personally and my professionalism,
• 29:17
  Speaker 11: made up information and just put it out in the press.
• 29:19
  Speaker 11: So it was really uncaud for because they were unhappy
• 29:25
  Speaker 11: that the members that I represent, so the members of Retailians,
• 29:30
  Speaker 11: didn't support Suitzan's arrest and therefore we spoke out about
• 29:33
  Speaker 11: that and that was a very that was kind of
• 29:37
  Speaker 11: like the catalyst of where everything you know, went from there.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: So you're just doing your job, Carolyn, What is it?
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: Why do you think Goldsmith holding on to Sonny?
• 29:47
  Speaker 11: Look, you have to really speak to the minister about that.
• 29:52
  Speaker 11: You know. I think that Sonny has has some perspectives
• 29:57
  Speaker 11: that interlined with a lot of other retail but they
• 30:01
  Speaker 11: still represent some portion of retail with the New Zealand
• 30:04
  Speaker 11: and and you know, I think that he has voice
• 30:07
  Speaker 11: is useful to be heard, but I don't think it's
• 30:09
  Speaker 11: the only voice, and I don't think it's the leading voice.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: You think it should be gone as chair. Maybe that's
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: still on the board, but gone as chair. Yeah, would
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: you come back if that had changed.
• 30:22
  Speaker 11: Look, I think there's a few things that had to change.
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: I don't.
• 30:25
  Speaker 11: I mean, it's it's a pretty untenable position. But my
• 30:31
  Speaker 11: members are really keen to me to stay on the
• 30:33
  Speaker 11: mag because it's really important to be involved and be
• 30:35
  Speaker 11: able to put forward, you know what a big portion
• 30:38
  Speaker 11: of retail crime as it's being experienced in New Zealand,
• 30:42
  Speaker 11: and to support them and their work. That's my job.
• 30:46
  Speaker 11: So you know, I guess that's the key thing that
• 30:49
  Speaker 11: kept me there for so long. And we had a
• 30:50
  Speaker 11: lot of conversations at board level around what was the
• 30:53
  Speaker 11: right thing for us to do and was it right
• 30:56
  Speaker 11: for Retail inted to be involved in a minister advisory
• 30:59
  Speaker 11: when we were agreeing with the positions that were being taken.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: Carolyn, appreciate your time this woman, Carolyn Young, Retailings in
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: Chief Executive and no longer on the MAG which by
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: the way stands for Ministerial Advisory Group. If you didn't
• 31:10

• 31:29
  Speaker 2: Great British Bakeoff. If you haven't seen it, there's lots
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: of innuendo, so Nogella will be perfect for this role.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: She has been announced as the new judge of the
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: Great British Bakeoff. She says, I am gittaly grateful for
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: the opportunity in true Nigella style, but.
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: I still need a bit of milk full fat, which
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: I've warmed in the MICROIV.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: I had a look at how much they're paid. So
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: the previous judge apparently was paid two point seven million
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: New Zealand dollars just for Judger eating food for a
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: three year contract, which sounds absolutely divine. Five to six
• 32:05

  Speaker 12: of having a break if it's not good fun?
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: Well, I suppose, I mean, how.

• 32:26
  Speaker 12: I suppose the weather, I said, a couple of weeks ago,
• 32:29
  Speaker 12: a week ago, wherever it was. And I know it's
• 32:32
  Speaker 12: a disaster, I get it all. But some of us
• 32:35
  Speaker 12: actually appreciated the rain because of course in summer time
• 32:38
  Speaker 12: you need land. If you got land, you got rain.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: No quite right, no, very true. Anyway, I was.
• 32:44
  Speaker 12: Standing by for the Prime Minster on this today. Do
• 32:46
  Speaker 12: you let me ask you this question about insurance? So
• 32:50
  Speaker 12: the people who want help from the government, Yeah, why
• 32:53
  Speaker 12: don't you have interruption insurance?
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: The businesses? You mean, well, I suppose a lot of
• 32:58

• 33:02
  Speaker 12: Those who do do they had to use it? And
• 33:05
  Speaker 12: those who don't get supported by the taxpayer. And is
• 33:08
  Speaker 12: there a lesson here? This is this is what happens
• 33:10
  Speaker 12: every time there's a disaster, of course, and everyone goes
• 33:12
  Speaker 12: the government needs to help me out.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: I think the issue with because this is peak trading
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: season for these cafes right. The issue is it's not
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: the weather that's doing it, it's where the cordinate and
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: does the cordon need to be that big? And that's
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: the question.
• 33:26

• 33:28
  Speaker 12: whether that covers it, because sometimes it does and sometimes
• 33:32
  Speaker 12: it doesn't. Anyway, apparently the government's going to offer something
• 33:35
  Speaker 12: up right today by way of help, and so we'll
