0:19
Speaker 4: It be with me Ryan Bridge. Great to have your
0:21
Speaker 4: company this morning with sale GP coming to allcond Sorry Littleton,
0:26
Speaker 4: where exactly will you be able to watch the action from?
0:29
Speaker 4: Will it be from the water, Will there be stands?
0:32
Speaker 4: Will try and figure out exactly where you want to
0:35
Speaker 4: be to see the action. Pseudo Effangerne, the wonder drug,
0:38
Speaker 4: not a zimpic, the wonder drug that makes everyone skinny,
0:41
Speaker 4: but pseudo effandrine, the one that makes your nose stop running,
0:45
Speaker 4: is selling like hotcakes. Apparently some stores have even sold
0:49
Speaker 4: out of pseudo efandrine. We'll talk about that later on
0:51
Speaker 4: the program. Why you could save five thousand dollars on
0:55
Speaker 4: a new ute by twenty twenty seven and it is
0:59
Speaker 4: ocr day today. Any relief in sight for homeowners? Spoiler alert? No,
1:04
Speaker 4: but we will ask wes Pack because ASB is saying
1:08
Speaker 4: that they think there'll be a rate cut this year,
1:10
Speaker 4: what does wes Pac think we'll ask them just before
1:13
Speaker 4: the top of the show a top of the hour
1:16
Speaker 4: at six o'clock. Right now it is five oh seven
1:21
Speaker 4: the agenda and it's Weenesday, the tenth of July. Changes
1:25
Speaker 4: could be on the way. For building consent inspections, they
1:28
Speaker 4: currently have to be done in person, but the government
1:31
Speaker 4: wants to make remote inspections. The default Building and Construction
1:35
Speaker 4: Minister Chris penk says wait times for in person inspections
1:38
Speaker 4: can put builds on hold. The former master Builders TV
1:42
Speaker 4: executive David Kelly has confidence in the move, saying there
1:45
Speaker 4: are already some apps available.
1:46
Speaker 5: To do it.
1:47
Speaker 2: They have features that give some surety because the homeowners
1:52
Speaker 2: want to make sure that it's been done well and
1:54
Speaker 2: the councils want to make sure it's done well.
1:57
Speaker 4: New zellam First has taken to social media to ask
2:00
Speaker 4: if the inter Island a ferry at a Teddy ran
2:02
Speaker 4: aground after being put on autopilot so that someone could
2:06
Speaker 4: go and make a coffee and they were unable to
2:08
Speaker 4: turn it on when they returned to their seat. Kiwi
2:11
Speaker 4: Rail Note hasn't denied this account, though they do say
2:16
Speaker 4: that there are a regulated number of people on board
2:20
Speaker 4: at the bridge at the time of the grounding, and
2:22
Speaker 4: Maritime New Zealand says conjecture is unhelpful while investigations are
2:26
Speaker 4: taking place. Yet that is not a no from Kiwi Rail,
2:31
Speaker 4: I want to point out. And also, would someone make
2:34
Speaker 4: the captain a coffee for goodness sex a report from
2:37
Speaker 4: the New Zealand Initiative. The think tank is proposing to
2:40
Speaker 4: replace the fuel excise duty system. It says a smart
2:44
Speaker 4: road user charge could distribute costs in a fair away
2:46
Speaker 4: and help reduce congestion. Under the proposal, vehicles would be
2:49
Speaker 4: charged on actual road usage based on the time of
2:53
Speaker 4: day and the type of vehicle. The lead author, Matthew Virtual,
2:56
Speaker 4: says the system would be rolled out over five years,
2:58
Speaker 4: starting with new vehicles.
3:00
Speaker 6: The costs that we pay are not linked to our
3:03
Speaker 6: road yere in a precise way, so shifting away from
3:06
Speaker 6: a blunt fuel tax towards the road user charge system
3:09
Speaker 6: makes sense.
3:11
Speaker 4: And you would have heard this in the news already
3:13
Speaker 4: with Andrew, but here we Tennis star Lulu Sun has
3:16
Speaker 4: lost her quarterfinal match at Wimbledon against Croatias at Donna
3:21
Speaker 4: becketch Son lost the three set battle five seven, six,
3:24
Speaker 4: four six one. I saw a good headline well, and
3:27
Speaker 4: wasn't a good headline for her, I suppose. But the
3:29
Speaker 4: headline was sun goes down at Wimbledon. It's just gone
3:34
Speaker 4: now nine minutes after five.
3:37
Speaker 2: Ryan Bridge New for twenty twenty four on early edition
3:41
Speaker 2: with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds at a playing store.
3:45
Speaker 1: News dog ZIB.
3:46
Speaker 4: Also happening overnight. Boeing can't seem to catch break. Remember
3:49
Speaker 4: we spoke about them yesterday. The four hundred million dollar
3:52
Speaker 4: New Zealand million dollar fine that they received. They're almost
3:56
Speaker 4: too big to prosecute. I think Boeing, that's what we
3:59
Speaker 4: got to the of the gist of what we got
4:01
Speaker 4: to yesterday. Because of the seven three seven Max crashes
4:04
Speaker 4: that they experienced, they had a fine that they had
4:08
Speaker 4: to pay. They were undergoing some monitoring from aviation authorities.
4:14
Speaker 4: That monitoring didn't happen as it should have, so there's
4:16
Speaker 4: another fine. I mean it goes on and now they've
4:18
Speaker 4: lost a wheel again. This is a United Airlines flight.
4:22
Speaker 4: The jet lost the main landing gear wheel while taking
4:25
Speaker 4: off from Los Angeles. It was off to Denver. There
4:29
Speaker 4: were one hundred and seventy four passengers on board, seven
4:33
Speaker 4: crew members. No injuries on the ground or in the ear,
4:38
Speaker 4: and they said, and they loved this from Boeing. The
4:40
Speaker 4: wheel has been recovered in Los Angeles. Check your backyards, people, Biden.
4:47
Speaker 4: Let's go to Washington, DC because Biden big day for him, well,
4:50
Speaker 4: a big couple of days. Actually, he's going to have
4:52
Speaker 4: three days of meetings and then he's going to have
4:54
Speaker 4: a solo press conference on Thursday. So when you wake
4:57
Speaker 4: up and listen to Early Edition on Friday morning, you
5:00
Speaker 4: can bet your bottom dollar that we will bring you
5:02
Speaker 4: the latest on that because he's going to have to
5:04
Speaker 4: answer questions live in real time from heckling, naggy, little
5:10
Speaker 4: pesky reporters, and he's not going to be able to
5:13
Speaker 4: go away and hide or sleep. Actually, there was a
5:15
Speaker 4: report out this morning that when he was at the
5:17
Speaker 4: g seventh summit in Europe recently in June, he missed
5:22
Speaker 4: a meeting with the German Chancellor Olif Schultz because he
5:25
Speaker 4: had to go to bed. Everyone needs to sleep, I guess. Anyway,
5:30
Speaker 4: Biden is older than NATO. Did you know the meeting
5:33
Speaker 4: that is happening in Washington, DC. So they're going to
5:36
Speaker 4: whelhim out. They'll put his sunglasses on and hopefully they
5:39
Speaker 4: will prove that he can eat soup without dribbling. But
5:43
Speaker 4: the world we will be watching closely, and there's a
5:45
Speaker 4: good reason for that. There are serious implications to whether
5:49
Speaker 4: Biden is or isn't the leader of the United States.
5:54
Speaker 4: You know, not only does it affecting things like the markets,
5:57
Speaker 4: but you know what would a Trump presence mean for
6:00
Speaker 4: the support for Ukraine and the emphatic support that Biden
6:03
Speaker 4: has shown. So for an organization like NATO, these are
6:07
Speaker 4: very important questions, and whether the guy sitting in the
6:10
Speaker 4: chair is falling asleep or not is quite foundational to
6:16
Speaker 4: the business that they are actually there to discuss, which
6:18
Speaker 4: is all of course quite serious, not to mention the
6:20
Speaker 4: fact that Sweden and Finland invented NATO and they'll be
6:23
Speaker 4: there as well. So a lot to get through, and
6:26
Speaker 4: very quickly. Just so you know that the detail that
6:29
Speaker 4: these reporters are going to be looking at seeing N's
6:32
Speaker 4: report says every step that Biden takes, every gesture that
6:37
Speaker 4: he makes, every word that he utters, will be under
6:40
Speaker 4: intense scrutiny for four days. It's thirteen minutes after five
6:45
Speaker 4: now coming up next, Why you could save five grand
6:48
Speaker 4: off a ute by twenty twenty seven.
6:51
Speaker 2: The first word on the News of the Day Early
6:54
Speaker 2: edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's furniture
6:58
Speaker 2: beds and a playing store, New.
6:59
Speaker 4: Store, welcome back. It has just gone quarter past five
7:05
Speaker 4: here on News Talk sai'd be I don't mind a
7:07
Speaker 4: g string at a swimming pool personally. We'll talk about
7:09
Speaker 4: that later on Right now though, for your ute, the
7:12
Speaker 4: Clean Car Importer standards are set to be lowered to
7:14
Speaker 4: align with Australia's emission standards. The adjustments will see a
7:18
Speaker 4: softening of the CO two targets for commercial vehicles, including utes.
7:22
Speaker 4: The Clean Car standard penalties as they stand, we'd see
7:26
Speaker 4: people paying an extra five and a half thousand dollars
7:29
Speaker 4: when purchasing certain types of vehicles by twenty twenty seven,
7:33
Speaker 4: so that money could be saved. Kirsten Colson is the
7:36
Speaker 4: chair of Drive Electric and is with me this morning.
7:40
Speaker 4: A Kirston, good morning to you. I won't ask about
7:42
Speaker 4: the g strings at the pools, but we will ask
7:44
Speaker 4: about about the utes. Is this heading in the right
7:47
Speaker 4: direction or the wrong direction? Look?
7:49
Speaker 7: What's heading in the wrong direction. It's really clear already
7:52
Speaker 7: from the data that the emission standards of our vehicles
7:56
Speaker 7: in New Zealand have increased in twenty three so we're
7:58
Speaker 7: heading in the wrong direction completely.
8:02
Speaker 4: Why should we be doing any better than Australia.
8:06
Speaker 7: Well, this legislation is set to align with Australia, but
8:11
Speaker 7: actually it doesn't. Australia have got penalties that are a
8:14
Speaker 7: lot tougher the New Zealand and Australia also has federal
8:18
Speaker 7: and state incentives at in every state in Australia, so
8:24
Speaker 7: it's much more appealing to go EV in Australia than
8:27
Speaker 7: it is in New Zealand.
8:28
Speaker 4: What's their uptake? Because we're what two percent of our fleet?
8:31
Speaker 4: Are we still about we're.
8:34
Speaker 7: Two percent and if you look at last year, we
8:37
Speaker 7: were sitting at around twenty seven percent of new cow
8:40
Speaker 7: sales we're electric and this year we've gone down to
8:43
Speaker 7: eight percent. If we look I guess at our really
8:47
Speaker 7: big trading partners where we've got fair trade agreements, China
8:52
Speaker 7: is looking at forty five percent new cow sales are electric,
8:55
Speaker 7: Europe's looking at twenty five percent and the US as
9:00
Speaker 7: looking at eleven percent. So you know, we've got trading
9:03
Speaker 7: agreements where we've got a commitment to decabinze and those
9:08
Speaker 7: partners are decabinizing, but clearly we're not at the moment.
9:11
Speaker 4: Okay, So you would like to see this, You would
9:14
Speaker 4: like to see the government basically reverse this. You want
9:17
Speaker 4: to see I mean, the Ford range is still is
9:19
Speaker 4: that still a most popular vehicle sold vehicle? It was
9:22
Speaker 4: for a few years. They're running Kiwis obviously like buying them,
9:26
Speaker 4: and there's a cost of living crisis. So isn't there
9:28
Speaker 4: a you know, isn't there an argument to take the
9:32
Speaker 4: of the accelerator accelerator a little bit?
9:35
Speaker 7: Look, if the government was truly serious about saving Kiwi's money,
9:39
Speaker 7: they would be supporting them to get into evs. And
9:41
Speaker 7: the reason being Ryan, if you charged your EV at
9:45
Speaker 7: home overnight, off peak, you'd be paying around two dollars
9:48
Speaker 7: per one hundred kilometers. If you're paying for petrol on
9:52
Speaker 7: a six point nine liter vehicle, you're paying around twenty
9:55
Speaker 7: dollars per one hundred kilometers. So absolutely there is a cost.
10:00
Speaker 4: Love you, the road user charge will change, will take
10:03
Speaker 4: care of that, won't it?
10:05
Speaker 7: No road user charges. We're still paying twenty three percent
10:09
Speaker 7: more than a petrol vehicle and EV but still over
10:12
Speaker 7: a total cost of ownership model evs are still substantially cheaper.
10:17
Speaker 4: All right, we will leave it there, Kirston, thank you
10:19
Speaker 4: very much for your time. Kirston Causon, the chair of
10:22
Speaker 4: Drive Electric, responding to news there that the clean car
10:25
Speaker 4: and porter standards are set to be lowered. They will
10:28
Speaker 4: be aligned with Australia, though as Kirston has pointed out,
10:31
Speaker 4: there are other differences in that equation too. It is
10:35
Speaker 4: nineteen minutes after five.
10:37
Speaker 2: Get ahead of the headlines, Ryan Bridge New for twenty
10:41
Speaker 2: twenty four on early edition with Smith City, New Zealand's
10:45
Speaker 2: furniture beds and a player store news talk zid.
10:47
Speaker 4: B twenty one after five. Here very quickly, it texts Ryan,
10:51
Speaker 4: just because a Boeing aircraft has lost a wheel does
10:54
Speaker 4: not make it a Boeing issue. It could have been
10:57
Speaker 4: a maintenance issue with one of the companies that the
11:00
Speaker 4: wheel change. It's like saying that Ford has more issues
11:03
Speaker 4: when a Ford Ranger lost a wheel, but that had
11:06
Speaker 4: just been to Firestone. So point taken, I think it
11:09
Speaker 4: could be could well be him, could well have been
11:11
Speaker 4: a maintenance issue though that notwithstanding, Boeing still has plenty
11:16
Speaker 4: of other stuff going on to worry about but I
11:20
Speaker 4: appreciate the text, thank you very much for that. A
11:22
Speaker 4: nine two ninety two is the number.
11:25
Speaker 8: Right.
11:25
Speaker 4: Let's turn our attention into sale GP because it's coming
11:27
Speaker 4: to Auckland. The schedule for racing next year has been announced,
11:31
Speaker 4: the seasonal start and d Bay before heading to Auckland.
11:34
Speaker 4: It follows the news that the league withdrew from a
11:36
Speaker 4: hosting agreement that would have seen it take place in
11:38
Speaker 4: christ Church again. Richard Gladwell is the Sale World New
11:43
Speaker 4: Zealand editor and he's with me now. Richard, good morning
11:45
Speaker 4: to you, tell you good good, thank you, great news
11:49
Speaker 4: for Aucklanders. Anything to do with the dolphins.
11:54
Speaker 5: Oh well, I thanks everything to do with the dolphins.
11:56
Speaker 5: And you know Ruth Costs comped to go down there
12:01
Speaker 5: again after the last time. I think they just can't
12:04
Speaker 5: losing in a whole day because someone sees the dolphins
12:08
Speaker 5: swung around the course. So yeah, it's all to do
12:11
Speaker 5: with that. But I think also there was also an
12:12
Speaker 5: agreement in there in place that Auckland would have two
12:17
Speaker 5: sale GP events in four years and christ Church would
12:20
Speaker 5: have had two. So christ Church have had the tea.
12:24
Speaker 5: So hopefully the Ukland are about to get there. Too, right.
12:27
Speaker 4: Do you think the council is paying anything for this?
12:29
Speaker 4: Is there any backhanders that go on with seldt.
12:33
Speaker 5: Oh no, this, I mean NB are up front about it.
12:37
Speaker 5: You go onto their website, they've listed down for a
12:40
Speaker 5: gathers and they say they're paying five point four million
12:44
Speaker 5: dollar event. So I assume that the Auckland Council isn't
12:48
Speaker 5: paying anything. However, they will be paying, you know, in
12:52
Speaker 5: kind for a lot of things. And they after that announcement,
12:57
Speaker 5: they've come out and said that they're looking at what
13:00
Speaker 5: point which is the venue that caused all the cafuffle
13:04
Speaker 5: last time. So hopefully everyone's got their ducks on a
13:07
Speaker 5: row of that.
13:08
Speaker 4: That's right. So where will we watch it from? Can
13:11
Speaker 4: we watch it because that was the problem last time?
13:14
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, there's plenty of I mean I haven't been
13:16
Speaker 5: a Winyard Point lately, but when I was last year,
13:20
Speaker 5: they still had it, you know, getting those gases out
13:23
Speaker 5: of the ground and releasing those from the stalled fuel
13:27
Speaker 5: tanks and substance tanks. So people will be down there
13:30
Speaker 5: on Winyard Point. There's plenty of advantage places around west
13:34
Speaker 5: Haven and that sort of thing. You can also probably
13:37
Speaker 5: watch it a bit of it from the shore from
13:39
Speaker 5: north Cape Point. Yea such surrounded. But the other thing
13:43
Speaker 5: to remember too is sort of mean, there's a lot
13:46
Speaker 5: of facilities down there that were done for America's Cups
13:49
Speaker 5: that are you know, they're open and used, but they're
13:53
Speaker 5: they certainly don't get heavy use. So I think it'll
13:56
Speaker 5: be a great vantage point down there.
13:58
Speaker 4: So you're confident that we've got enough infrastructure they're already
14:01
Speaker 4: to actually host this event and to host it on time,
14:04
Speaker 4: because I mean it's coming, It's around the corner, isn't it.
14:07
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, all they've got all the saying all accounts
14:09
Speaker 5: will have to do is they've just got to essentially
14:12
Speaker 5: put that winded point down and tarmac in the same
14:15
Speaker 5: way that they've done it around in a team New
14:18
Speaker 5: Zealand and further back towards the city. So once they've
14:22
Speaker 5: got that area, they're a hard stand. The team just
14:25
Speaker 5: comes in and puts all their support bases and that
14:29
Speaker 5: sort of thing, and they're a big feature of sel
14:33
Speaker 5: GPS what they call the Adrenaline Lounge, So that's a
14:36
Speaker 5: real VIP hospitality area and that goes right hard on
14:41
Speaker 5: the water's edge and then they have the boats finishing
14:44
Speaker 5: you off that so they're so close that you can
14:47
Speaker 5: virtually touch them. In fact, in the last two or
14:50
Speaker 5: three sal Gpens events, having that finish line so close
14:56
Speaker 5: to a seawall has caused a few kurefuffles.
14:58
Speaker 4: To say the least, it sounds like the place I'm
15:01
Speaker 4: going to be down at the Adrenaline Lounge. Thank you
15:03
Speaker 4: very much for the time this morning. Appreciate it. Exciting
15:06
Speaker 4: news that the Sale gp is coming to Tamaki, Mikoto.
15:09
Speaker 4: That's which are glad well with the Sale World New
15:12
Speaker 4: Zealand magazine. It is twenty five after five back in a.
15:15
Speaker 3: Second separating the fact from the fiction Kid's Filly edition
15:22
Speaker 3: with Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and Appliant Store.
15:26
Speaker 4: News Talk said, B right, it has just gone twenty
15:29
Speaker 4: seven minutes after five year on news Talk said b
15:31
Speaker 4: I'm always a little bit paranoid about what governments are
15:33
Speaker 4: planning and what kind of taxes that they're scheming up.
15:36
Speaker 4: And if you look at the UK, which is of
15:39
Speaker 4: recently elected governments, one of the few that sort of
15:42
Speaker 4: has a mandate and is actually functioning. I mean, look
15:44
Speaker 4: at France or look at the lame duck president in
15:47
Speaker 4: the United States. However, if you look at the UK
15:49
Speaker 4: and Cares Starmer they are talking about and it is
15:53
Speaker 4: just muffles and quiet, secret little meetings that have been
15:57
Speaker 4: reported in the press. The potential for an inheritance fiddling
16:01
Speaker 4: with their inheritance tax. They have one we don't. On
16:04
Speaker 4: NAHA this show yesterday they were speaking about with Jeff
16:08
Speaker 4: Nightingale about the potential for our Labour Party to introduce one.
16:11
Speaker 4: I hate the idea of it. In the UK it's
16:14
Speaker 4: forty percent and they paid seven out of a half
16:18
Speaker 4: billion pounds and death duties last year, which is a
16:22
Speaker 4: huge increase, and this is largely because property prices have
16:24
Speaker 4: gone up and what governments all over the world are
16:27
Speaker 4: doing is running out of money and they're running out
16:29
Speaker 4: of ways to tax people, and this one's quite appealing
16:32
Speaker 4: to a lot of them, and if you look at
16:34
Speaker 4: the UK in particular, So the number paying death duties
16:38
Speaker 4: is expected to jump from thirty three thousand this year
16:41
Speaker 4: to nearly forty four thousand by the end of the
16:43
Speaker 4: next parliament, and that is a very tempting number for
16:48
Speaker 4: a government that needs new ways of finding revenue and
16:52
Speaker 4: This is obviously the post war baby boomer generation now
16:55
Speaker 4: approaching the average life expectancy. So look out, governments all
17:00
Speaker 4: around the world will be looking at ways to tax
17:03
Speaker 4: us more. I'm not saying it's going to happen here. Obviously,
17:07
Speaker 4: there was a hint on here the show yesterday that
17:09
Speaker 4: that labor might be planning something. I don't like the
17:11
Speaker 4: idea of this. I think keep out of our business, please,
17:15
Speaker 4: And if somebody is dying in your family, the last
17:17
Speaker 4: thing you want to think about is the forty percent
17:19
Speaker 4: you've got to pay to the tax man. Right We're
17:22
Speaker 4: coming up to news after that. We are going to
17:25
Speaker 4: talk about Pseudoe for Dream and a star blowing up
17:30
Speaker 4: in the sky all ahead.
17:34
Speaker 2: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with
17:38
Speaker 2: Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and
17:42
Speaker 2: a playing Store.
17:43
Speaker 1: News Talk said, be, I'm trying to be romantic to
17:56
Speaker 1: feed back.
17:57
Speaker 4: You don't get a test. Good morning, it's pretty four
18:00
Speaker 4: minutes away from six o'clock here on news Talk said be,
18:03
Speaker 4: do I even need to explain the g string story?
18:06
Speaker 4: I don't think so. It's been everywhere. You should all
18:09
Speaker 4: know about it by now. There is a mother who
18:12
Speaker 4: takes her children I think they're boys, to the Todd
18:14
Speaker 4: Energy Aquatic Center in New Plymouth and she's noticed these
18:17
Speaker 4: itsy bitsy teeny winnie bikinis. I don't think bikini is
18:20
Speaker 4: the right word for it. It is it's a G
18:23
Speaker 4: string or a G banger as they're noomen. It's basically
18:27
Speaker 4: just exposed, completely exposed bottom. And if they're becoming more
18:33
Speaker 4: and more popular, more and more women, young women in particular,
18:36
Speaker 4: are wearing them. Where are you on the G string debate?
18:41
Speaker 4: Nine nine two is the number to text I personally
18:44
Speaker 4: don't really care. I don't mind, But then I don't
18:47
Speaker 4: have a young family, so maybe that's, you know, maybe
18:50
Speaker 4: that's your issue. Nineteen nine two is an umber to
18:53
Speaker 4: text ya or nay to the G string? What do
18:56
Speaker 4: you call them? Is it just a G string? Not
18:58
Speaker 4: a not a G banger? We wouldn't say that, okay. Well,
19:02
Speaker 4: perhaps if you've got a better word for them, then
19:05
Speaker 4: you could text that through as well. A nine two
19:06
Speaker 4: nine two also this morning, high adheritance to Mediterranean diets.
19:11
Speaker 4: You've heard this for years, but there's another study is
19:14
Speaker 4: associated with a twenty three percent reduction in all cause
19:18
Speaker 4: mortality in women. So basically, if you eat a Mediterranean diet,
19:22
Speaker 4: you'll live longer. This is according to a report from
19:26
Speaker 4: the published in the Jammer Network Open in May. It
19:29
Speaker 4: was based on data from a study that followed twenty
19:32
Speaker 4: five thousand women. The average age was fifty five for
19:34
Speaker 4: twenty five years. And they emphasize in this even though
19:38
Speaker 4: a Mediterranean diet includes seafood and fish and stuff, they
19:41
Speaker 4: don't mention that in this article. They just say it's
19:43
Speaker 4: plant based foods and they talk about the perils of
19:48
Speaker 4: red meat. I just want to make the point to
19:51
Speaker 4: any men listening this morning that this was a study
19:53
Speaker 4: exclusively of women, so we can go on eating steak. Right.
19:58
Speaker 4: It has just gone at twenty ten minutes away from
20:00
Speaker 4: six s Bray and Bridge. We're going to our reporters
20:04
Speaker 4: who are with us from Dunedin. We start in Ternedin
20:07
Speaker 4: this morning with Callum Good morning morning, right.
20:11
Speaker 9: What have we got today, Well, we have a story
20:16
Speaker 9: about the university's council here which has approved a new
20:19
Speaker 9: statement saying free speech is the lifeblood of the university.
20:23
Speaker 9: This statement says free speech enables the exploration of ideas,
20:27
Speaker 9: the challenging of assumptions and the uncovering of truth through
20:30
Speaker 9: open exchange and allows everyone to know better the variety
20:33
Speaker 9: of beliefs, theories and opinions in the world. So the
20:37
Speaker 9: Council from Now's agreed the university will not restrict debate
20:40
Speaker 9: or deliberations simply because the ideas put forth the thought
20:44
Speaker 9: by some to be offensive, unwise, immoral or wrongheaded. Activist
20:48
Speaker 9: group the Free Speech Unions praising this wide ranging statement,
20:51
Speaker 9: saying it is the best in the country.
20:54
Speaker 4: Wow, who would have thought they have to say that? Cullen,
20:57
Speaker 4: what's the weather like today? Frosty?
21:00
Speaker 9: Start here for Dnedan, but find today like when's the
21:03
Speaker 9: high twelfth?
21:03
Speaker 4: Thank you? Claire Sherwood is in christ Church with us
21:06
Speaker 4: this morning. A makeover of the iconic high Street has
21:08
Speaker 4: been completed.
21:09
Speaker 10: Clear sure has Ryan look. The City Council here has
21:12
Speaker 10: labeled finishing this three stage upgrade from Hereford Street to
21:16
Speaker 10: sint ASEIV as a milestone in our post quake recovery.
21:21
Speaker 10: So new work actually includes a big paving design out
21:24
Speaker 10: of Mowana paving design across the street, as well as
21:26
Speaker 10: a cycle lane connecting those from the Heathcott Expressway to
21:30
Speaker 10: the city Council's head of Transport, land At Alis, says
21:33
Speaker 10: some wider footpaths and a ten kilometer speed them it
21:37
Speaker 10: have also been put in place. She's hopeful this will
21:39
Speaker 10: make the area more pedestrian friendly, given foot traffics expected
21:43
Speaker 10: to surge when the new stadium opens in twenty twenty six.
21:47
Speaker 4: Weather today clear, low cloud.
21:49
Speaker 10: And fog about this morning, but fine spells increasing this afternoon.
21:52
Speaker 10: At southwesterlies the highest ten the low minus two.
21:56
Speaker 4: Beautiful. Thank you. Let's go to Max Toll in Wellington.
21:59
Speaker 4: The Wellington and Sign. You all know that the one
22:01
Speaker 4: as you fly in on the plane has been hijacked. Max.
22:05
Speaker 11: It's the end of the world.
22:06
Speaker 5: Yeah.
22:07
Speaker 11: The iconic Wellington sign has had a banner draped over
22:10
Speaker 11: it by climate protesters from the group three point fifty
22:14
Speaker 11: head Or. They climbed up yesterday afternoon to the mock
22:18
Speaker 11: Hollywood sign, hung the words and private jets over it.
22:21
Speaker 11: You wouldn't have thought private jets would be such an
22:23
Speaker 11: issue here, but apparently Queenstown Airport, the only airport in
22:26
Speaker 11: the country that releases such data, says about five hundred
22:29
Speaker 11: private jets landed there last year. This group wants them
22:32
Speaker 11: taxed and phased out. This protest far less disruptive than
22:36
Speaker 11: previous environmental ones we've had in the capitol lately. Worth
22:39
Speaker 11: noting as well, it's been a year now since the
22:42
Speaker 11: Wellington sign had a football installed to replace the O
22:46
Speaker 11: for the Women's World Cup. The council hasn't apparently had
22:49
Speaker 11: a chance to revert it back. Let's see how long
22:52
Speaker 11: they take to take the banner down.
22:53
Speaker 4: I did notice that football is still there.
22:56
Speaker 11: Maybe it's a permanent thing.
22:57
Speaker 4: Perhaps they just got well, it's probably cheaper just to
22:59
Speaker 4: leave it there, isn't it. How's the weather today?
23:01
Speaker 11: Max should be partly cloudy, Northerlys twelve in the city.
23:05
Speaker 4: Thank you. And in Auckland, the beautiful never Ready Mino
23:09
Speaker 4: was with us this morning.
23:10
Speaker 12: Thank you.
23:10
Speaker 4: We pay you to say that sponsor the biggest choral
23:14
Speaker 4: music event New Zealand has ever hosted. Kicks off tonight
23:17

23:25
Speaker 12: thirteenth World Choir Games. Can you believe it?
23:29
Speaker 4: So?
23:29
Speaker 12: The government's put seven million dollars towards the event. They
23:32
Speaker 12: reckon that this event's going to generate more than ten
23:34
Speaker 12: million dollars in GDP. Also, you know, like sixty seven
23:37
Speaker 12: thousand visitor nights in the region, so it's great for
23:39
Speaker 12: the whole country. And you look like you're a bit
23:42
Speaker 12: of a singer, No are you not? Oh you can't
23:46
Speaker 12: do a juwet then.
23:48
Speaker 4: Well you can do it on your own.
23:50
Speaker 12: I suppose I could because we were just talking about
23:52
Speaker 12: it in the news or were just about who was
23:54
Speaker 12: in a school choir and I was in primary school
23:57
Speaker 12: and intermediates were you?
23:59
Speaker 4: We did make the nationals give us give us a

24:38
Speaker 12: do you think, Yeah, get it all.
24:39

26:22
Speaker 4: Now you can You're correspondent. Gavin Gray is with us
26:25
Speaker 4: this morning. Gavin, good morning. The US is meddling in
26:28
Speaker 4: the UK's justice system.
26:32
Speaker 13: Yeah, good mind you Ryan. This will seem extraordinary to
26:35
Speaker 13: some listeners, but the US government has blocked a British
26:39
Speaker 13: court hearing from taking place on a British territory. It
26:43
Speaker 13: does sound utterly bizarre, but we're talking here about a
26:46
Speaker 13: British Indian Ocean territory, an island called Diego Garcia. Now
26:52
Speaker 13: it's got a long complicated history, but it is British
26:55
Speaker 13: it took control of the Chagos Islands that was part
26:59
Speaker 13: of Mauritius back in nineteen sixty five, and then went
27:02
Speaker 13: on to evict the population of more than a thousand
27:05
Speaker 13: people to make way from military base. And it's the
27:07
Speaker 13: military base which, yes, you guessed it is now American,
27:11
Speaker 13: and which the Americans object to this court hearing. The
27:14
Speaker 13: court hearing is all about some migrants trying to make
27:17
Speaker 13: it to Canada and they're on the island at the moment.
27:22
Speaker 13: It was due to be a court in a British court,
27:24
Speaker 13: but the Americans said, oh, no, you darn't. We don't
27:27
Speaker 13: actually think it's a good idea to have members of
27:29
Speaker 13: the press here. We don't think it's a good idea
27:31
Speaker 13: for all these lawyers to fly in. And because America
27:33
Speaker 13: runs all the accommodation, the food and the transport, they
27:37
Speaker 13: are quite simply able to say you're not coming on
27:40
Speaker 13: the island. As I said, it's complicated, but it seems
27:43
Speaker 13: an extraordinary state of play.
27:45
Speaker 4: It certainly does. What about this investigation into the French
27:49
Speaker 4: fire right, the national rally over allegations of inappropriate financing.
27:55
Speaker 13: Yes, so this is all aimed at Marine La Penn
27:58
Speaker 13: She is the leader of the National Rally Party, the
28:01
Speaker 13: far right party in France that did so well in
28:04
Speaker 13: the National Assembly elections just finished though did not get
28:08
Speaker 13: a majority. But prosecutors in Paris and now saying they're
28:11
Speaker 13: looking to allegations of embezzlement, forgery and fraud and this
28:16
Speaker 13: was all over her attempt to become president back in
28:19
Speaker 13: twenty twenty two. Now for some they're thinking, hang on
28:22
Speaker 13: a minute, is this because they're trying to scuffer her
28:24
Speaker 13: popularity because she did very well in these elections. But
28:28
Speaker 13: the authorities say no, this is all about the fact
28:31
Speaker 13: she's received loans in the past from Russia and Hungarian banks.
28:35
Speaker 13: The Russian loan was worth some eighteen million New Zealand dollars,
28:39
Speaker 13: but that was all paid back last year. So the
28:41
Speaker 13: investigations will go on and this particular court will judge
28:45
Speaker 13: her and twenty four other party members in September. And
28:48
Speaker 13: just briefly round before you go. Sad news for New
28:51
Speaker 13: Zealand's Lulu sun Rang. I'm afraid a good campaign in
28:54
Speaker 13: Winwood and Tennis, but knocked out by the crow at
28:57
Speaker 13: Donna Vikisch This morning. Our time caught number one with
29:01
Speaker 13: the roof on we've had terrible weather. Having knocked out
29:05
Speaker 13: Britain's Emmarada Khana in the fourth round, she was hoping
29:08
Speaker 13: to become the first qualifier to reach the women's semi
29:10
Speaker 13: final since nineteen ninety nine. I'm afraid it wasn't to be.
29:14
Speaker 13: She got beaten five seven six four six one.
29:16
Speaker 4: Kevin Gray, our UK europe correspondent. She'll be back, don't
29:20
Speaker 4: worry about that. It is turned away from sex Ranbridge
29:24
Speaker 4: and we're going down to Kelly Echold, who is with
29:26
Speaker 4: us from Westpac, the chief economist there. Kelly, good morning.
29:29
Speaker 4: It is ocr day today. We're expecting it to be
29:31
Speaker 4: held at five and a half percent. But what are
29:34
Speaker 4: we looking for in terms of language from the Reserve
29:37
Speaker 4: Bank today.
29:38
Speaker 8: Well, today we think the Reserve Bank's going to keep
29:41
Speaker 8: it pretty tight here. They educated back in May that
29:44
Speaker 8: they sought interestraights. You have to remain restrictive for a
29:47
Speaker 8: protracted period to get inflation down, So not very much
29:53
Speaker 8: has changed them, might suspect. So I think it's going
29:55
Speaker 8: to be pretty short and sweet. Perhaps some hint that
29:59
Speaker 8: the economy has turned down a little bit based off
30:01
Speaker 8: some of the indicators have seen since.
30:04
Speaker 4: May, and banks like asb are predicting that there'll be
30:07
Speaker 4: a cut in November, Westpac saying, now you still think
30:11
Speaker 4: early next year? Is that still your view? Could that
30:13
Speaker 4: change today?
30:15
Speaker 8: Don't think it all changed today and it is still view.
30:19
Speaker 8: The challenge thing for the Reserve Bank is that they
30:21
Speaker 8: really need to see some runs on board here with
30:24
Speaker 8: respect to getting that inflation rate down within their target range.
30:28
Speaker 8: Plation's running at four percent, it's twice the target. And
30:33
Speaker 8: whilst we're all hoping that there'll be some interest rate
30:36
Speaker 8: relief sometime soon, the reality is that inflation won't go
30:40
Speaker 8: where by itself. It's it's going to require that period
30:45
Speaker 8: of tight conditions, flat economic activity so that we can
30:48
Speaker 8: actually get to where things have been forecasted.
30:51
Speaker 4: What about this issue of non tradable inflation that keeps
30:54
Speaker 4: wearing its head that that actually the Reserve Bank's blunt
30:57
Speaker 4: tool isn't working for for things like council rate increases.
31:02
Speaker 8: Et cetera. Yeah, well, it takes a bit of time,
31:06
Speaker 8: I think for some of these things to happen. I
31:07
Speaker 8: mean the particular issues I guess that the council rates
31:11
Speaker 8: and also the insurance charges as well. You know, the
31:15
Speaker 8: typical lags on those things are a little bit longer,
31:18
Speaker 8: and that's why we've been sitting here with these interest
31:20
Speaker 8: rates for a relatively long period of time compared to
31:24
Speaker 8: previous cycles. But the fact that the economy has responded
31:29
Speaker 8: to interest rates gives you confidence that is going to
31:32
Speaker 8: have an impact. But it's just going to take time.
31:35
Speaker 8: And it's that message of the time required to happen
31:38
Speaker 8: to keep interest rates at this level is the key
31:41
Speaker 8: message that the Reserve Bank has really been telling us.
31:44
Speaker 4: All right, so we've looked for the language today, but
31:46
Speaker 4: it will be around the edges. Kelly E called the
31:48
Speaker 4: Westpac chief economists with us this morning. That decision, by
31:51
Speaker 4: the way, d'out at two pm. It is seven away
31:54
Speaker 4: from six now. Lots of your feedback coming in on
31:57
Speaker 4: what exactly you call a g string if it's worn
32:00
Speaker 4: in a swimming pool, but also on how appropriate it
32:04
Speaker 4: is after this woman in New Plymouth, a mother of three,
32:07
Speaker 4: i should say, and New Plymouth has started a petition
32:10
Speaker 4: to ban them. That's all ahead News and.
32:12
Speaker 2: Views you trust to start your day is early edition
32:16
Speaker 2: with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds
32:19
Speaker 2: and a flying Store.
32:20
Speaker 3: News talk said be.
32:22
Speaker 4: Good morning to you. Five away from six. Now, we
32:26
Speaker 4: have lots of feedback this morning on a lot of
32:27
Speaker 4: important issues, including the OCR announcement today, but also the
32:31
Speaker 4: you know what you call a g string in a
32:33
Speaker 4: swimming pool because of the petition that is doing the
32:36
Speaker 4: rounds in the media at the moment. Some yeah, probably
32:40
Speaker 4: most of them. I can't read out, can I. I'm
32:42
Speaker 4: just looking across at people who are higher up here
32:46
Speaker 4: than me. Bumfloss, someone says, an eye patch. Yeah, anyway,
32:55
Speaker 4: you can imagine where that conversation went. But actually, most
32:59
Speaker 4: of the people who have texted this morning, and thank
33:01
Speaker 4: you very much for all of your feedback, most people say,
33:04
Speaker 4: if it is a pool where there are children, if
33:06
Speaker 4: it's a family pool, then no, just leave your your
33:09
Speaker 4: floss at home please. Andrew Dickens is here. He's with
33:13
Speaker 4: us after six. Good morning.
33:15
Speaker 14: I was put off that debate when I started hearing
33:17
Speaker 14: Joseph PEGANI last night on Heather Allen Show, going Free
33:21
Speaker 14: the Bomb, Free the Bum, and I went now that
33:23
Speaker 14: this has gone too far, too far. Yeah, I've got
33:26
Speaker 14: an opinion on it, and I don't think it's what
33:27
Speaker 14: you expect. And I'll tell you a bit about that
33:29
Speaker 14: bit later there we go go see our day today
33:31
Speaker 14: as well. Did you know that we've been stuck on
33:33
Speaker 14: the same rate for a year. Yeah, and it would
