Speaker 2: talk mining. He's on the show this morning. Plus Trump's
0:26
Speaker 2: cutting off aid to Columbia and the Netherlands has a
0:30
Speaker 2: problem with its renewable energy. I want to get you
0:31
Speaker 2: across too. Good morning, the agenda. It is Monday, the
0:36
Speaker 2: twentieth of October. Gaza. The CEA spy is still holding,
0:38
Speaker 2: but it's looking pretty shaky, the idea of doing airstrikes
0:41
Speaker 2: and raffer.
0:42
Speaker 3: Even in the last couple of hours a number of
0:44
Speaker 3: Israeli political figures have been calling on the government here
0:49
Speaker 3: to resume the war in Gaza. This is exactly what
0:53
Speaker 3: Palestinians feared, that the breathing space that they had might
0:57
Speaker 3: happen to only just be that.
0:59
Speaker 2: Oh, it's just the gift that keeps on giving in
1:02
Speaker 2: the worst possible way. Fresheadlines and problems for Andy. This
1:05
Speaker 2: morning Scotland Yards investigating claims that he tried to use
1:08
Speaker 2: his police protection to dig up personal information on one
1:12
Speaker 2: of his accusers, Virginia Jiuffrey. The Mail on Sunday has
1:15
Speaker 2: the story. This was back in twenty eleven.
1:17
Speaker 4: They are deeply concerning allegations.
1:19
Speaker 5: I think there will people want to look at those
1:21
Speaker 5: allegations and what the substance is behind them.
1:23
Speaker 4: But obviously that is a if that is correct, that.
1:26
Speaker 6: Is absolutely not the way that close protection officers should
1:31
Speaker 6: be used.
1:31
Speaker 2: And to this big story this morning breaking at the
1:34
Speaker 2: Leeuve in Paris, hunters on for the thieves. Now they
1:37
Speaker 2: took priceless jewelries. Police say thieves broke into the Apollo
1:42
Speaker 2: gallery using a mechanized lift, carried chainsaws and escaped on
1:46
Speaker 2: a scooter.
1:46
Speaker 7: And there's a sense that this is one area in
1:49
Speaker 7: which the country is behind the thieves if you like
1:52
Speaker 7: that the thieves are getting more and more daring, sophisticated,
1:55
Speaker 7: and the money that is there to be spent on
1:58
Speaker 7: security in museums cross the country is going down, and
2:02
Speaker 7: that there is a sort of week where a week
2:04
Speaker 7: point here where museums are very exposed.
2:08
Speaker 1: Views and views you trust to start your day. It's
2:12
Speaker 1: earlier this ship with Ryan Bridge and r V Supercenter
2:16
Speaker 1: explore RVs accessories and servicing. Fall and One News Talks.
2:20
Speaker 2: Eight after five. We've actually had spoken about the louven
2:23
Speaker 2: in Paris a couple of times on the show because
2:26
Speaker 2: they are renovating and they have been upgrading because there's
2:29
Speaker 2: mold in some of the display rooms, so they and
2:32
Speaker 2: this always happens whenever there's a break in. It's always
2:35
Speaker 2: when there's a reno going on, and this is the
2:37
Speaker 2: case here. They've apparently gone through the area that was
2:40
Speaker 2: being renovated. It was nine thirty am on a Sunday morning.
2:43
Speaker 2: These guys should have been in church, but they weren't.
2:46
Speaker 2: They were stealing priceless jewels now in this particular room there.
2:52
Speaker 2: They said the jewels of a stolen had unmeasurable heritage
2:55
Speaker 2: value and apparently it's basically French sort of royal jewels
3:01
Speaker 2: that were kept in here. They call them prices, but
3:03
Speaker 2: they're obviously not prices, are they? A couple of things,
3:06
Speaker 2: A couple of projections for you this week, Big news Week.
3:08
Speaker 2: This week, we get inflation today, which will be bad
3:10
Speaker 2: in the sense that it will still be going up.
3:13
Speaker 2: It'll be either at or hovering around three percent. This
3:15
Speaker 2: is what the pundits tell us, which is of course
3:17
Speaker 2: the upper limit for the Reserve Bank. But it won't
3:20
Speaker 2: matter too much. The bank will still cut by twenty
3:23
Speaker 2: five basis points next month, and that will probably be
3:26
Speaker 2: it house prices they reckon. We'll start picking up the summer,
3:29
Speaker 2: the wealth effect will kick and job security should be
3:32
Speaker 2: sort of next year. Is anyone you know actually believing
3:36
Speaker 2: any of this anyway? This is what we're told. Hopefully
3:39
Speaker 2: we will get to a point where we stop being
3:40
Speaker 2: so scared of spending our money, which is where we
3:43
Speaker 2: are at the moment. Migration still not kicking into gear.
3:46
Speaker 2: I spoke to Erica Stamford last week. She said, because
3:49
Speaker 2: she sees a bunch of high they call it high
3:51
Speaker 2: frequency data. She sees a bunch of stuff that we
3:54
Speaker 2: don't see, like applications for visas, online searches for visas,
3:59
Speaker 2: that kind of stuf. She says, those things are picking up,
4:01
Speaker 2: so you've got to hope that she's right. In Rome
4:04
Speaker 2: this week, Leo meets King Charles. This is the first
4:08
Speaker 2: time you will see the monarch and the king and
4:12
Speaker 2: the leader of the Catholic Church praying together at the
4:15
Speaker 2: same church since the Reformation in the sixteenth century. And
4:19
Speaker 2: here's a prediction, and we're already seeing it this morning.
4:22
Speaker 2: Despite leaning on Andy to give up his titles and
4:24
Speaker 2: avoid the media storm, the media storm will happen anyway,
4:26
Speaker 2: because the headlines keep on a coming. Plus, in Hungary,
4:30
Speaker 2: Trump is supposedly going to meet Putin, if not this
4:33
Speaker 2: week then next. And we shouldn't hold our breath for
4:36
Speaker 2: peace in Ukraine because the bombing only picked up in
4:39
Speaker 2: intensity and frequency after Alaska. Remember that. And for those
4:43
Speaker 2: hoping that one of the EU countries, because the Kremlin,
4:46
Speaker 2: the flying Kremlin, which is Putin and his planes, they
4:50
Speaker 2: have to travel over the EU or an EU state
4:52
Speaker 2: to reach Budapest. And there are people who are hoping
4:56
Speaker 2: that someone might intercept the flight and arrest Putin. It's
5:00
Speaker 2: not going to happen. It's up to each country to
5:02
Speaker 2: decide what happens. And most of them seem to think
5:05
Speaker 2: and Brussels has certainly said they seem to think that
5:07
Speaker 2: peace talks are better than no peace talks. Bread Rich
5:12
Speaker 2: five eleven on your Monday morning. We'll get to the
5:14
Speaker 2: Minister Shane Jones on minerals, next, the News.
5:18
Speaker 1: You Need this morning and the in depth analysis early
5:21
Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and are the Supercenter explore r
5:25
Speaker 1: these accessories and servicing fall in one news talks.
5:28
Speaker 2: That'd be five point thirteen. Great to have your company
5:30
Speaker 2: this morning. So you know how Trump's blowing up drug
5:32
Speaker 2: boats that are coming out of Venezuela. He's going a
5:35
Speaker 2: step further with Colombia. He's called the Colombian president an
5:38
Speaker 2: illegal drug leader. This is Petro and he said he's
5:41
Speaker 2: not doing enough to stop the drugs coming out of Columbia,
5:44
Speaker 2: which is a big part of the problem and feeding
5:45
Speaker 2: the epidemic that's going on in the United States. So
5:49
Speaker 2: he has come up with a plan, which he has
5:51
Speaker 2: released eloquently as always on Truth Social on Sunday, and
5:55
Speaker 2: the plan is basically cut off all their aid. Two
5:58
Speaker 2: hundred million American dollars go into Columbia every year and
6:01
Speaker 2: Trump says, well that's about to end, Ryan Bridge. Resources
6:05
Speaker 2: Minister Shane Jones is on a mission to sell our
6:07
Speaker 2: minerals on the global stage. He's heading to Australia. Then
6:10
Speaker 2: he's heading to the US. He's attending mining and geothermal conferences,
6:13
Speaker 2: hoping to push for growth. Shane Jones is with me
6:16
Speaker 2: this morning, minister, Good morning today. What are you hoping
6:19
Speaker 2: to get out of this?
6:21
Speaker 8: Oh, obviously we're going to promote the fact that we've
6:23
Speaker 8: got a sense of endowment for minerals. They've been hidden
6:27
Speaker 8: for a long time as various governments have come to
6:31
Speaker 8: a preoccupation and ankst ridden denial of how important minerals
6:37
Speaker 8: can be to our growth.
6:38
Speaker 2: Isn't the problem though, You'll say I'm pro minerals, let's
6:41
Speaker 2: dig it up, and then investors might say, well, what
6:44
Speaker 2: about your opposition who could be in next year?
6:48
Speaker 8: The Yeah, the problem that and I've had this discussions
6:54
Speaker 8: with various other media, the problem that we've got. They said,
6:58
Speaker 8: if we don't have a strong voice, which I represent,
7:00
Speaker 8: and it's been absence since Helen Clark's time, then we
7:03
Speaker 8: all just surrender to the shrillness and the wocism and
7:06
Speaker 8: it's keeping us poorer. And I think what investors are
7:10
Speaker 8: warming to is that in New Zealand there is a clear,
7:14
Speaker 8: loud voice that's standing up and pushing back the tide
7:18
Speaker 8: of ignorance. And look, if we don't do this, New
7:22
Speaker 8: Zealand's going to be poorer for it.
7:24
Speaker 2: You've said we've got strong growth in permit applications. Do
7:29
Speaker 2: you have any numbers? Yeah.
7:32
Speaker 8: Sadly, the recent crappy economic figures said that the mineral
7:37
Speaker 8: sector wasn't doing well, but what it referred to actually
7:40
Speaker 8: was the decline in oil and gas. But there are
7:44
Speaker 8: hundreds of permits that have been processed. There's virtually no
7:48
Speaker 8: one who is in a waiting line being mucked around.
7:53
Speaker 8: I took over the role at the end of twenty
7:56
Speaker 8: twenty three. I suggested to Envy that all decisions should
7:59
Speaker 8: be made by myself personally. They promised me that they
8:02
Speaker 8: could handle it, and they've lived up to their word.
8:06
Speaker 8: These are not environmental permits. These are permits that enable
8:10
Speaker 8: you to go prospecting, exploring. You still have to sort
8:13
Speaker 8: out a land use permit, and of course that's where
8:16
Speaker 8: we strike dock But TAMA is introducing economic criteria into
8:22
Speaker 8: the Conservation Act that should accelerate the pace which the
8:27
Speaker 8: system allocates land use consents to the extent that the
8:30
Speaker 8: mining is on dock land.
8:32
Speaker 2: There's a Utah Governor Spencer Cox I was reading about
8:35
Speaker 2: last night. Who's doing a trade mission here? Have you
8:38
Speaker 2: met with the governor and apparently there's eighty of them here.
8:40
Speaker 2: They're quite interested in critical minerals.
8:43
Speaker 8: Yeah. No, my officials are well and surely engaged. Well,
8:47
Speaker 8: not only this particular delegation, but we've got in our
8:52
Speaker 8: mineral sands on the west coast down around hok Ticula
8:55
Speaker 8: and Westport a mineral known as monocyte, and within that
8:59
Speaker 8: mineral are a host of other incredibly important various minerals,
9:03
Speaker 8: and looked us no shortage of interest coming out of
9:06
Speaker 8: the States and various other places. So behind the scenes
9:09
Speaker 8: we've got our own little global races to who can
9:12
Speaker 8: work closest with the permit holders in New Zealand. But
9:15
Speaker 8: the reality is they've got to step up to the
9:17
Speaker 8: plate and spend their money because we're a free market, open,
9:20
Speaker 8: liberal trading economy, and money walks sort of crap walks
9:24
Speaker 8: and money talks.
9:26
Speaker 2: SAME's Minister for Resources with us this morning. It's seventeen
9:31
Speaker 2: minutes after five. By the way, the Meat Industry Association
9:34
Speaker 2: updated US over the week in red media exports, reaching
9:36
Speaker 2: seven hundred and seventeen million dollars during August. That's a
9:40
Speaker 2: wait for it, twenty two percent increase year on year.
9:44
Speaker 2: This is value obviously, because the prices have gone up.
9:46
Speaker 2: The US is the largest overall market for US up
9:49
Speaker 2: nine percent on August twenty twenty five, sorry, up nine
9:53
Speaker 2: percent for August twenty twenty five on twenty twenty four,
9:56
Speaker 2: two hundred and three million dollars. They're worth to US.
9:58
Speaker 2: Encouraging signs. Also out of China, demand for both sheep
10:02
Speaker 2: meat and beef up thirty nine percent in value to
10:05
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty million dollars. If you're thinking about
10:08
Speaker 2: the tariffs, well, the tariffs came in, so fifteen percent
10:11
Speaker 2: for the US came in to affect the seventh of August.
10:14
Speaker 2: But we're not expecting to see in the Meat Industry Association,
10:17
Speaker 2: not expecting to see those numbers come through or the
10:21
Speaker 2: effect of the tariffs to come through until the September
10:24
Speaker 2: and October Export data five eighteen.
10:28
Speaker 1: News Talk SEBB the first Word on the News of

10:41
Speaker 2: Twenty one on News Talk SAIB We'll get to Andrew
10:43
Speaker 2: Ortison a sport in just a second, a very brief second.
10:46
Speaker 2: I just have to fill you in on something that's
10:47
Speaker 2: come out from the Herald, because you know, to Party
10:50
Speaker 2: Mahudi and the Greens go on and on about the
10:52
Speaker 2: rich elite have too much property, too much wealth, even
10:56
Speaker 2: though Debbie Nardie were packer of Party Mahdi holidays and
11:00
Speaker 2: during house sitting days. I should add anyway, now there's
11:05
Speaker 2: a story come out this morning that the Departy Marty
11:08
Speaker 2: co leader Debbi nadi Wa Packer failed to declare two
11:11
Speaker 2: properties under Parliament's rules, failed to declare the ownership under
11:17
Speaker 2: transparency rules contacted by the Hero on September twenty fourth,
11:21
Speaker 2: and there's more to the story. I'll update you in
11:23
Speaker 2: just a few seconds. Twenty one after five Now, Ryan
11:26
Speaker 2: Bridge Andrews here with Sport. Andrew, good morning, greetings, Ryan.
11:29
Speaker 5: Sounds sounds spicy.
11:30
Speaker 2: It sounds spicy, doesn't it. We'll get stuck into that,
11:33
Speaker 2: no doubt. Thrillers. This is league. We've had a couple
11:35
Speaker 2: of thrillers, both men's and women's.
11:37
Speaker 5: We have indeed, so yeah, TAAs More and fetuso I
11:41
Speaker 5: both beat both Kiwis and Kiwi Fairs respectively, but close games.
11:46
Speaker 5: So we had with the women's match with Milli Hufanga
11:51
Speaker 5: center scoring in the late late stages the late standers
11:55
Speaker 5: and needed doing a Patricia Maliepo conversion to win that
11:58
Speaker 5: twenty two twenty and then the match the men's match
12:03
Speaker 5: later on twenty four to eighteen in the end, so
12:05
Speaker 5: the Kiwi's scoring a curtsey of a bomb there from
12:08
Speaker 5: Karen Forum towards the end, seventy third minute I think
12:10
Speaker 5: it was, and they held on twenty four eighteen. So yeah,
12:15
Speaker 5: Victorian news. You know, a good close contests at Mount Smart.
12:18
Speaker 2: Brilliant and the black Caps England.
12:20
Speaker 5: That keeps England washed out the first match that yeah, yeah,
12:24
Speaker 5: So this is what you get when you schedule matches
12:27
Speaker 5: in October in New Zealand, even on the Eastern seaboard.
12:30
Speaker 5: It's a risky business. So but I suppose the more
12:33
Speaker 5: important news this morning came Williamson is back in the
12:36
Speaker 5: one day side for the one days will start next
12:39
Speaker 5: week next Sunday, I think it all this is coming Sunday,
12:41
Speaker 5: so it'd be great to have the thirty five year
12:43
Speaker 5: old back as part of that lineup.
12:45
Speaker 2: Brilliant and if one I said Liam Lawson was well
12:49
Speaker 2: of the steppings, doing very well, isn't he throw it back?
12:53
Speaker 5: And then there were clamity from McLaren in various aspects
12:57
Speaker 5: there with the earlier race in the sprint races.
12:59
Speaker 2: See but.
13:01
Speaker 5: I menist online for them and they've already won the
13:04
Speaker 5: constructors but still online for the individual tamp but stipp
13:07
Speaker 5: and keeping the honest ahead of the circuit of the
13:09
Speaker 5: America's Race US Grand Prix this morning in Austin, Texas.
13:13
Speaker 5: I think Lawson on twelfth on the grid for that,
13:16
Speaker 5: so I think it gets underway at eight am.
13:18
Speaker 2: Brilliant Andrew thinks that updates Jess as always, it's Andrew
13:22
Speaker 2: Ordison a sport twenty three minutes after five. Nigel Farrage
13:25
Speaker 2: over in the UK. Nigel Farrage can just do no wrong.
13:28
Speaker 2: He's beaten James Cleverly, who's with the Conservatives. He's basically
13:34
Speaker 2: beaten everyone else any other British politician, male politician in
13:39
Speaker 2: a new race which is the UK's Sexiest Politicians list.
13:43
Speaker 2: Nigel Farrage. I know he's coming at number one, twenty
13:47
Speaker 2: one percent of the vote. This is a pole commissioned
13:50
Speaker 2: by a dating website that's making headlines over in the
13:52
Speaker 2: UK this morning. How on earth does this happen? He's
13:56
Speaker 2: at number one, Starmer is at number nine, so it's
14:01
Speaker 2: a shallow Paul Angela Rainer, by the way, from Labor
14:03
Speaker 2: she won the sexiest female politicians of twenty two percent.
14:07
Speaker 2: We'll get head to the UK with Gavin Gray after
14:10
Speaker 2: News and Sport at five thirty.
14:12
Speaker 1: News Talks itb the early edition full the show podcast
14:15
Speaker 1: on iHeartRadio How It By, News Talks AB.
14:19
Speaker 2: News Talks AB It's five twenty six. Don't expect a handout.
14:23
Speaker 2: That's basically the message to homeowners who are hoping the
14:26
Speaker 2: government will swoop in and buy out houses after the
14:29
Speaker 2: next big cyclone, as they have been doing to this point.
14:32
Speaker 2: Watts is the Climate Minister. He took a paper to Cabinet.
14:35
Speaker 2: I had to read of it at the weekend. They
14:36
Speaker 2: haven't immediately turned the tap off to buyouts, but they're
14:40
Speaker 2: making it pretty clear it won't be long before they do.
14:43
Speaker 2: How long does it say? Specifically, just sometime in the
14:46
Speaker 2: near future. If you're buying a house or you're buying land,
14:50
Speaker 2: you're going to want to check flood zones very carefully. Basically,
14:55
Speaker 2: after the Auckland floods, you know which parts of your
14:58
Speaker 2: suburb are prone to flooding. You can see it, you
15:00
Speaker 2: saw it. That's generally where you don't want to buy.
15:04
Speaker 2: You're going to have to manage this risk. We are
15:07
Speaker 2: going to have to manage this risk. Our insurers are
15:09
Speaker 2: going to have to manage this risk and try and
15:10
Speaker 2: mitigate it. The Council and the government spent two billion
15:13
Speaker 2: on buyouts. This is after the Auckland floods. That may
15:17
Speaker 2: not happen next time. And guess how many homes are
15:19
Speaker 2: sitting in flood prone areas right now in New Zealand. Apparently,
15:23
Speaker 2: according to the latest data, hundreds of thousands worth one
15:26
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty billion dollars combined. It means insurance will
15:30
Speaker 2: be more expensive or non existent for some areas and
15:33
Speaker 2: some properties. The government basically wants to take itself out
15:37
Speaker 2: of the risk equation, one because it's cheaper for them,
15:41
Speaker 2: two because buying out flood prone land distorts the market.
15:46
Speaker 2: If you know a buyout is going to happen, you'll
15:48
Speaker 2: be less worried about flooding and pay more than you
15:51
Speaker 2: should for the site. The scientists tell us that damage
15:55
Speaker 2: from cyclones and floodings is only going to get more
15:58
Speaker 2: intense and frequent, and you should basically consider this a
16:02
Speaker 2: warning from the government. They don't want the same thing
16:05
Speaker 2: that's happening to the properties happening to their books. Brian Bradword,
16:10
Speaker 2: twenty eight after five. So back to Debbi and Narne
16:12
Speaker 2: would Packer for just a very brief second. So there's
16:15
Speaker 2: a Herald story out this morning. So what the Herald
16:17
Speaker 2: did was do a search of properties, which MPs own
16:20
Speaker 2: which properties and then marry that up with the Register
16:24
Speaker 2: of Pecuniary Interest to see whether they've declared that they
16:28
Speaker 2: own these properties, because you're supposed to do so. They
16:30
Speaker 2: emailed a bunch of MPs. This was on September twenty fourth,
16:35
Speaker 2: this is the Herald, and these MPs all replied to
16:39
Speaker 2: the thing and said, oh I made a mistake. Whatever
16:43
Speaker 2: Debbie didn't. She said through a spokesperson that she would
16:46
Speaker 2: be unable to respond as she was attending a tonguey okay.
16:51
Speaker 2: Every year since she entered parliament in twenty twenty, Packer
16:54
Speaker 2: has declared her interest in one property. The Herald investigation
16:58
Speaker 2: found she owned two more, and she never declared them.
17:02
Speaker 2: On September twenty six, she updated the parliamentary declaration to
17:07
Speaker 2: include the two properties identified by the Herald, but she
17:10
Speaker 2: has never responded. Didn't respond to the Herald despite repeated
17:14
Speaker 2: queries over several weeks. Neither she nor to party Marory
17:18
Speaker 2: responded to the questions just when in sneakily updated the record.
17:23
Speaker 2: I hope no one would notice. Well someone noticed. Five
17:27
Speaker 2: twenty nine News Talk ZB Gavin Gray after News.
17:38
Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan
17:41
Speaker 1: Bridge and r V Supercenter explore RVs accessories and servicing
17:46
Speaker 1: all in one News Talks at B.
17:50
Speaker 2: Twenty four away from six on your Monday morning coming up.
17:53
Speaker 2: We've got inflation number out this morning. We'll talk to
17:55
Speaker 2: ASB about that before six. Plus Gavin Gray in the
17:58
Speaker 2: UK for US on the jewelry heist, the Louver in
18:00
Speaker 2: Paris overnight, the mega strikes coming this week. Is the
18:05
Speaker 2: PPTA going to solve the crisis in the Middle East? No,
18:09
Speaker 2: So why are they putting it on the agenda at
18:11
Speaker 2: all to speak to the ministers about when they go
18:14
Speaker 2: for a meeting about strikes and about pay and about conditions.
18:18
Speaker 2: Judith Collins and Eric Stamford are doing quite a clever
18:22
Speaker 2: pr strategy. It's a good cop bad cop thing, Erica says, teacher.
18:26
Speaker 2: She's the teachers cheerleader. You know, she's got the pomp
18:29
Speaker 2: poms out. And then Judith comes in and plays bad
18:32
Speaker 2: cop and puts the light in your eyes in the
18:33
Speaker 2: interrogation room and makes you feel uncomfortable. And she put
18:37
Speaker 2: out an open letter, which, by the way, how many
18:40
Speaker 2: open letters do we get every day?
18:42
Speaker 9: Now?
18:42
Speaker 2: Is any letter closed? You know, if it's not open
18:45
Speaker 2: to begin with, it's leaked. So anyway, let's give up
18:47
Speaker 2: the whole open letter thing. She's written a letter. That's
18:50
Speaker 2: not what I got irked about at the weekend. What
18:53
Speaker 2: I got irked about was the response from the PPTA
18:55
Speaker 2: from Abercrombie. He says, if the government wants to make
18:58
Speaker 2: us an offer, we would consider that. There is not
19:01
Speaker 2: another planned meeting until November. Now, I'm sorry. If you're
19:06
Speaker 2: a parent in this country and your kid is missing
19:08
Speaker 2: school and you've got a teacher only day coming up,
19:12
Speaker 2: and then you've got labor so that's five days coming up.
19:15
Speaker 2: You know that it includes a week ind but you've
19:17
Speaker 2: got five days that you need to sort. Are you
19:21
Speaker 2: not angry about that? Why would you not have another
19:24
Speaker 2: meeting schedule to talk about the very thing you're striking about.
19:28
Speaker 2: They should be meeting every day. They should be forced
19:31
Speaker 2: to be locked in a room together every day until
19:35
Speaker 2: the strike. It's the only way surely that they will
19:37
Speaker 2: get a conclusion to it. Twenty two away from six
19:42
Speaker 2: Bridge and our reporters around the country now Callum's and
19:44
Speaker 2: need and Callum, good morning morning. Right, the Otago Community
19:48
Speaker 2: Trust has been taking soundings from locals. Yeah, look, they've
19:52
Speaker 2: got a short survey out so just to find where
19:54
Speaker 2: the best place is to put there are they're funding.
19:57
Speaker 2: They're asking the community here what matters most to determine
20:01
Speaker 2: where millions of dollars of grant money from the Community
20:04
Speaker 2: Trust should go and should be dispersed around Otago. The
20:07
Speaker 2: Community Trust says it's important for philanthropic organizations like them
20:11
Speaker 2: to check in with the communities to help in the
20:14
Speaker 2: most beneficial way. So they say this survey is the
20:16
Speaker 2: best way to help Otago into the future and for
20:20
Speaker 2: them to understand the aspirations right across the diverse region
20:23
Speaker 2: when making these funding decisions. Right, how's your weathery, Collum.
20:27
Speaker 2: We've got that strong wind warning here in the south
20:29
Speaker 2: Gaale northwest is gusting one hundred and twenty k's here.
20:33
Speaker 2: They should ease this afternoon showers today the high twenty
20:36
Speaker 2: Thank you and clear than christ Church clear. Good morning,
20:38
Speaker 2: good morning, A sad day for your arts community.
20:42
Speaker 10: Yes well. Our cherished sand artist Peter Donnelly has died
20:47
Speaker 10: at the age of seventy four. Those who are familiar
20:50
Speaker 10: with Donnelley's work will know that he created these massive
20:53
Speaker 10: sand artworks at New Brighton Beach for seventeen years, from
20:57
Speaker 10: about ninety seven until twenty fourteen. He effectively used a
21:01
Speaker 10: garden rake as a sandbrush. His first piece of work
21:05
Speaker 10: was on the day the New Brighton Pier opened. In
21:07
Speaker 10: that time he created more than one thousand pieces of
21:10
Speaker 10: sand art. They got more detailed and intricate as the
21:14
Speaker 10: years went on. Now in a two thousand and seven
21:16
Speaker 10: documentary titled Sandman, Donnelly says he would work to bring
21:20
Speaker 10: something to life and then after a few hours, would
21:23
Speaker 10: gift that art back to the sea. He died last
21:26
Speaker 10: week after suffering from some chronic illness. His death notice
21:29
Speaker 10: describes him as incredibly talented, unique, intelligent and one.
21:33
Speaker 2: Of a kind sounds like a very sad thing. Indeed clear.
21:36
Speaker 10: How's your weather, Madi find a bit of high cloud
21:38
Speaker 10: about today. We may see a shower tonight, gusty Norwester's
21:41
Speaker 10: and the high will be twenty one.
21:43
Speaker 2: Thank you Max and Wellington Max, good morning morning. You've
21:47
Speaker 2: got the new mega water entity and it's looking for
21:50
Speaker 2: a new leader.
21:52
Speaker 11: A quick update on this. Secrecy is the term used
21:55
Speaker 11: by the Post newspaper. In fact, apparently the writer believes
21:58
Speaker 11: a little odd that Match Water not telling us who
22:01
Speaker 11: is on its panel or board tasks with appointing a
22:05
Speaker 11: new chief executive. And they are appointing a new chief
22:07
Speaker 11: executive soon a Metro Water, of course, coming under National's
22:12
Speaker 11: Local Water Done Well policy. We've had a really terrible
22:15
Speaker 11: performance by Wellington Water for some years in the capitol.
22:17
Speaker 11: Now names have been floated to lead Metro Water, Campbell Barry,
22:21
Speaker 11: for instance, perhaps for another role though not chief executive.
22:25
Speaker 11: Nick Leggett says he's a no. He's the current chair
22:27
Speaker 11: of Wellington Water, but not a good look perhaps to
22:31
Speaker 11: be this early cloaking oneself ahead of launching mid next year.
22:35
Speaker 11: There is a panel they are deciding on a chief executive.
22:37
Speaker 11: We just don't know who they are. Dame Kerry Prendergast
22:40
Speaker 11: is the chair of the oversight group. It's going to
22:43
Speaker 11: have to be a bit of a schmoozer to get
22:44
Speaker 11: more money out of council for these leaks. The leagues
22:46
Speaker 11: have been getting better, but are still pretty bad. Announcements
22:49
Speaker 11: to come.
22:50
Speaker 2: All right, how's your weather?
22:52
Speaker 11: Mostly find strong wind sixteen.
22:54
Speaker 2: The high Central nic one neighbors, the North Clinton Morning neighbor.
22:56
Speaker 12: That morning's all happening in your studio, wasn't.
22:58
Speaker 2: It that you're talking about the bright lights? Right lights,
23:01
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure they're always on.
23:02
Speaker 1: No, no, they're not.
23:04
Speaker 12: These ones. Gosh, we could perform surgery.
23:06
Speaker 2: We're trying to make you look pretty with that.
23:10
Speaker 12: And the smell of smoke.
23:12
Speaker 2: No, no, we've been talking about this. There's a funny
23:14
Speaker 2: smell in the studios smell. I'm already nervous about what
23:17
Speaker 2: Mike's going and he's going to say it's me or
23:21
Speaker 2: it's something to do with me, but it's not.
23:22
Speaker 12: It's always on a Monday, you know, after the weekend.
23:25
Speaker 12: I mean, do I have to blame the weekend people again?
23:28
Speaker 2: It smells like someone's been smoking cigarettes.
23:31
Speaker 12: When I came in here.
23:32
Speaker 8: I thought it was you.
23:32
Speaker 12: That's why I was going, what is going on?
23:35
Speaker 2: Certainly not me? Hey, we had a whole bunch of
23:37
Speaker 2: special votes in the Auckland local body election and half
23:40
Speaker 2: of them were invalid.
23:43
Speaker 12: You're right, so there were more than ten thousand, yet
23:46
Speaker 12: more than a half invalid. Now they were disallowed. This
23:50
Speaker 12: was because of incorrect missing declaration details or just outdated
23:54
Speaker 12: enrollment details for goodness sake, but we can say that
23:57
Speaker 12: the final, final, final results can firm that Sane Brown
24:00
Speaker 12: is mere elite. With one hundred and eighty thousand votes,
24:04
Speaker 12: the council says, look there please, with this record number
24:06
Speaker 12: anyway of special votes cast, they think, you know, pretty
24:09
Speaker 12: good shows that people are motivated, motivated.
24:12
Speaker 2: They're motivated, but they're not filling the forms of probably.
24:15
Speaker 2: How's are weather?
24:16
Speaker 4: Okay?
24:17
Speaker 12: Early shower is clearing this morning to a lovely fine day.
24:19
Speaker 12: Summer is here, high of twenty two.
24:21
Speaker 2: Brilliant, Thanks Neva. Seventeen away from six News Talks thereb
24:24
Speaker 2: We're in the UK Europe next with Gavin Gray. You've
24:28
Speaker 2: probably heard me harp on about performance and results a
24:31
Speaker 2: lot on this program, and it's something I'm always paying
24:33
Speaker 2: attention to for good reason. It's how you get places.
24:36
Speaker 2: So the latest independent data from morning Star is worth noting.
24:39
Speaker 2: Milford's key we Savior Funds are number one for performance
24:43
Speaker 2: over the past ten years in the active, growth, balanced
24:47
Speaker 2: and conservative categories. That is proven long term consistency. If
24:53
Speaker 2: you want to see these numbers for yourself, they're independent.
24:55
Speaker 2: You can do it at Morningstar dot com dot au.
24:58
Speaker 2: Melford's also been recogniz with a string of industry awards
25:01
Speaker 2: including canstars Kee we Save a Provider of the Year Award,
25:04
Speaker 2: Outstanding Value and most Satisfied Customers. They've won the Consumer
25:09
Speaker 2: People's Choice Award eight years in a row. Now and
25:12
Speaker 2: you don't do that by accident. For proven performance and
25:16
Speaker 2: happy customers, Milford's worth the look. Changing to Milford can
25:19
Speaker 2: take you just a couple of minutes online. Past performance
25:22
Speaker 2: is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Milford Funds

Speaker 1: for New Zealand business.
25:40
Speaker 2: Got a big heights at the Louver in Paris. Kevin
25:42
Speaker 2: Gray is a UK europe correspondent, Gavin, do we know
25:44
Speaker 2: what these thieves got away with?
25:47
Speaker 4: Well, Ron the police have been a bit vague at
25:50
Speaker 4: the moment, but it's thought to be relating to the
25:53
Speaker 4: former royal family of France. Indeed, it is said that
25:57
Speaker 4: they dropped a very very valuable piece of jewelry that
26:01
Speaker 4: was the crown of the wife of Napoleon. So these
26:08
Speaker 4: artworks were very very well regarded among the antique world,
26:12
Speaker 4: they were ancient, they were very important to France, and
26:15
Speaker 4: yet they were taken from the Louver. The Louver is
26:18
Speaker 4: the world's most popular museum, draws up to thirty thousand
26:21
Speaker 4: visitors a day, and as they were opening for business today,
26:25
Speaker 4: just before that, all of a sudden, it's thought three
26:28
Speaker 4: maybe four men wearing hoods broke in via unbelievably a
26:34
Speaker 4: sort of a lifted hydraulic platform that was parked outside
26:39
Speaker 4: on the River Sine side of the Louver, and then
26:41
Speaker 4: used cutters to effectively get in through a window and
26:46
Speaker 4: then just take what they could. And it appears that
26:49
Speaker 4: they've got away with quite a lot of very very
26:51
Speaker 4: valuable and important jewelry nine pieces in total, including a necklace,
26:56
Speaker 4: approach and a tiara from the Napoleon and French Sovereigns
26:59
Speaker 4: disc display cases. It's been reported by the Parisian newspaper
27:04
Speaker 4: it's sought two suspects inside the third state outside they
27:07
Speaker 4: all got away on a motorbike and the museum has
27:11
Speaker 4: been shut the rest of the day, but not before
27:14
Speaker 4: a huge amount of panic when people queuing to get
27:16
Speaker 4: in all of a sudden were told to evacuate the
27:18
Speaker 4: building as soon as possible. A massive manhunt now underway
27:21
Speaker 4: in Paris.
27:22
Speaker 2: Given what about Prince Andrew. He's going to not use
27:25
Speaker 2: his titles anymore, but there's more headlines about him.
27:28
Speaker 4: There are, I'm afraid, And this comes ahead of Tuesday's
27:31
Speaker 4: publication of Virginia Giufrey's memoir. I remember Virginia Giufrey was
27:37
Speaker 4: the woman who accused Prince Andrew of having sex with
27:40
Speaker 4: her when she was seventeen, saying she was effectively trafficked
27:44
Speaker 4: by the late disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. So we're waiting
27:48
Speaker 4: to find out Watt's in the book. In the meantime,
27:50
Speaker 4: we're getting more and more information. Yes, Prince Andrew has
27:54
Speaker 4: decided to completely step back from the royal family. It
27:57
Speaker 4: was said, in conjunction and consultation with the King he
28:00
Speaker 4: was going to not use his titles anymore. I think
28:03
Speaker 4: we can read between the lines. The King told him
28:05
Speaker 4: he was not going to use his titles anymore. But
28:08
Speaker 4: now we're also getting reports that Prince Andrew asked a
28:11
Speaker 4: London police officer to dig the dirt on Virginia Dufrey
28:16
Speaker 4: just before that famous picture which shows him with his
28:20
Speaker 4: arm around her waist, a picture which he says has
28:23
Speaker 4: been photoshopped and he never met Virginia Jeu Frey. To
28:26
Speaker 4: be clear, Prince Andrew says he has nothing to be
28:29
Speaker 4: ashamed of. He's not hidden anything regarding this, and that
28:34
Speaker 4: he never met Virginia de Frey. But it looks like
28:38
Speaker 4: this latest thing about asking a police officer is yet
28:41
Speaker 4: more trouble for him and further problems for the King
28:44
Speaker 4: as he tries to distance himself from his younger brother Devin.
28:47
Speaker 2: Thank you, Gavin Gray, UK, your correspondent, just gone ten
28:51
Speaker 2: to six. Ry We didn't place data out this morning.
28:54
Speaker 2: This is for the September quarter. Economist predicting a fifteen
28:56
Speaker 2: month high should be at or around three percent, they
28:59
Speaker 2: reckon up from two point seven percent in June. The
29:02
Speaker 2: driver's food power rates. Nick Tuffley, chief economist today, asp
29:05
Speaker 2: with me this morning that good morning, good mine. If
29:07
Speaker 2: it's at or around three percent, the RBNZ should still
29:11
Speaker 2: cut next month anyway, Well, we.
29:14
Speaker 9: Think that's the case. They were forecasting around three percent
29:18
Speaker 9: when they made their last decision. They were talking about
29:20
Speaker 9: it being around three percent, So you two point nine
29:24
Speaker 9: three three point one shouldn't really matter too much. The
29:28
Speaker 9: thing really is the confidence that inflation will fall back
29:32
Speaker 9: next year, and that's what they've got a lot more
29:34
Speaker 9: confidence in compare to say, six months ago.
29:36
Speaker 2: Growth for quarter three. I asked Nicola, what is about
29:39
Speaker 2: this the other day? She said she's getting indications that
29:41
Speaker 2: it's subdued. Is the word that she's using. Are we
29:45
Speaker 2: in stagfation right now? You know, when you have low
29:47
Speaker 2: known growth in high inflation. Is that would we be
29:49
Speaker 2: considered technically in that? Or how do you get into stagfation?
29:54
Speaker 9: I think you've got a period where you do have
29:56
Speaker 9: sustain minimal growth and sustain high inflame. You used you
30:00
Speaker 9: call yourself in stagflation, But look, this is a period
30:04
Speaker 9: where we are having a very awkward blip up in inflation,
30:07
Speaker 9: but at a time when we think the economy is
30:09
Speaker 9: starting to grow again, and we do think we'll see
30:12
Speaker 9: certainly next year an economy where inflation is getting direct
30:17
Speaker 9: to a more normal level and growth has actually start
30:19
Speaker 9: to look more reasonable.
30:20
Speaker 2: The IMF said last week that they were predicting two
30:23
Speaker 2: point two percent for twenty twenty six for New Zealand.
30:26
Speaker 2: Are they on the money?
30:28
Speaker 9: I think a sort of roughly trending up to around that.
30:32
Speaker 9: It'll be a case of there's only so fast we
30:36
Speaker 9: can actually grow when we have a period of sort
30:39
Speaker 9: of moderate population growth. So around that sort of two
30:41
Speaker 9: plus percent mark is going to be pretty reasonable performance
30:45
Speaker 9: when we look at things like productivity still relatively low
30:48
Speaker 9: in population growth is slow.
30:50
Speaker 2: Nick, appreciate your time this morning. Thank you, Nick Tuffley,
30:52
Speaker 2: Chief economist at ASB. Time is eight minutes away from
30:56
Speaker 2: six news Talk CB.
30:58
Speaker 1: On your Radio and Lane on iHeartRadio Early Edition with
31:03
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and Are the Supercenter explore a v's accessories
31:07
Speaker 1: and servicing all in one news talksa'd.
31:10
Speaker 2: Be just gone six to six. Not a lot of
31:11
Speaker 2: love for the teachers on the text machine this morning, Ryan.
31:13
Speaker 2: The senior students are nearly on study leave. Then they
31:15
Speaker 2: don't have teaching again until January. That's basically three months off. Seriously,
31:21
Speaker 2: when are they supposed to learn? Ryan? The teachers and
31:24
Speaker 2: the rest of the unionized public sector are being unreasonable.
31:27
Speaker 2: The economy we have isn't big enough to support what
31:29
Speaker 2: they're demanding. It is six to six, Ryan might here
31:33
Speaker 2: now morning, Mike, Good morning. We're just talking about open
31:36
Speaker 2: letters before, which everyone's doing these days. Is any letter
31:40
Speaker 2: actually closed? That's a good question, although I do.
31:43
Speaker 7: I do.
31:43
Speaker 6: Judith's letter I thought yesterday was particularly insightful one. I mean,
31:48
Speaker 6: I don't know how many people will end up reading it,
31:50
Speaker 6: and I don't know how much of the media actually
31:51
Speaker 6: covers it. But if you read the whole letter, it's
31:53
Speaker 6: a very good letter.
31:54
Speaker 8: One.
31:55
Speaker 6: The Palestine thing is I think, so revelation to most people.
31:59
Speaker 6: Most people will be like, are you serious? Number one issue?
32:03
Speaker 6: Is Palestine?
32:04
Speaker 2: Get real? And then she goes through.
32:06
Speaker 6: What I didn't realize for sure was that the business
32:09
Speaker 6: and you remember and the early part of the government's term,
32:11
Speaker 6: Seymour started talking about these teacher ony days and if
32:15
Speaker 6: you could put them into the holidays. They've apparently rejected
32:18
Speaker 6: that and they've never done it, which explains why people
32:20
Speaker 6: keep texting me going, well, how come we've got teacher
32:22
Speaker 6: ony days. So they just said, no, we're not doing it.
32:24
Speaker 6: So there's that. Then she outlines in a letter what
32:28
Speaker 6: these people earn, and to be frank, some of the money.
32:32
Speaker 2: Is pretty reasonable.
32:33
Speaker 6: No one's getting wealthy.
32:34
Speaker 2: Sixty six percent of them paid a base salary of
32:37
Speaker 2: at least one hundred K. This is if they accept
32:39
Speaker 2: what they've been offered. That's up from forty percent.
32:42
Speaker 6: If you look at this country in the average wage,
32:43
Speaker 6: we had some numbers out last week. The average wage
32:45
Speaker 6: in this country pretty much, it doesn't matter where you live,
32:47
Speaker 6: is seventy something. It's really seventy seventy two seventy three
32:50
Speaker 6: thousand dollars. If you're on six figures, you're doing fine,
32:53
Speaker 6: you know. And I think we've got to the point
32:54
Speaker 6: now we're all full of sympathy for the teachers and
32:57
Speaker 6: the nurses and stuff. But when you're reading over one
32:59
Speaker 6: hundred thousand dollars, you're not doing too badly.
33:01
