0:33
Speaker 2: That'll be the biggest ever.
0:34
Speaker 3: This imagor action aiming to alleviate the immediate impacts of
0:39
Speaker 3: the dissumption in markets. But to be clear, the most
0:44
Speaker 3: important thing for a return to stable the flows of
0:47
Speaker 3: oil and gas is the resumption of trusted through the
0:52
Speaker 3: state of horrors, which.
0:54
Speaker 2: Is not happening. And that's why you're seeing the price
0:56
Speaker 2: of brin Crew go up over four bucks overnight to

1:09
Speaker 4: it's difficult for him to ignore how this is impact
1:12
Speaker 4: in the global marketing.
1:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll look at that a little deeper later in
1:14
Speaker 2: the show. Documents this morning, heading to the UK, Lord Mandelssohn,
1:17
Speaker 2: do we still call him that? Mandelssohn was US ambassador
1:21
Speaker 2: and then when he was fired because of his links
1:23
Speaker 2: to Epstein, he demanded wait for it, five hundred and
1:27
Speaker 2: forty seven thousand pounds and a payout for being sacked,
1:32
Speaker 2: and the end he got seventy five.
1:34
Speaker 4: Peter Manderson initially requested a some that were substantially larger
1:38
Speaker 4: than the final payment, not just two or even three times,
1:46
Speaker 4: but more than six times the final amounts.
1:50
Speaker 2: Right Starman was also warned this is the documents that
1:53
Speaker 2: have been released about a reputational risk from hiring a game.
1:56
Speaker 4: Minister has taken responsibility for Peter Mandelson's appointment as ambassador
2:01
Speaker 4: to the United States. He has acknowledged it was a
2:04
Speaker 4: mistake and has apologized to Australia.
2:07
Speaker 2: Finally, this morning, a Ossie designer Katy Perry with an
2:10
Speaker 2: Ie has won a long running trademark fight where the
2:14
Speaker 2: pop star Katy Perry with a hy pop star. Piri
2:18
Speaker 2: was selling merchand an Australian tour. This is way back
2:21
Speaker 2: in twenty fourteen. The designer already owned the name.
2:23
Speaker 1: That's been a.
2:25
Speaker 5: Hard journey, it's been very long, but today it doesn't
2:28
Speaker 5: really matter.
2:29
Speaker 2: Because I won and the court said basically, Katy Perry
2:33
Speaker 2: the pop star is famous enough that people will know
2:35
Speaker 2: the difference.
2:37
Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan
2:41
Speaker 1: Bridge and one roof Love, where you live News Talks.
2:44
Speaker 2: It'd be nine minutes after five nine two ninety two
2:48
Speaker 2: is the number to text. Would love to hear from you.
2:50
Speaker 2: We would also love to hear what happened last night
2:52
Speaker 2: at Parliament. There was a meeting of Nicholas Oil Ministerial
2:56
Speaker 2: Advisory Group. Let's call it her oil Mog. So the
2:59
Speaker 2: oil mog met last night and one of the things
3:01
Speaker 2: they were talking about we burned. Hicky mentioned this the
3:04
Speaker 2: other day, but there was a report out from the
3:07
Speaker 2: Post yesterday saying that South Korea which provides half of
3:12
Speaker 2: our refined fuel because we got rid of Marsden Points,
3:16
Speaker 2: so South Korea provides half of it. That they were
3:19
Speaker 2: looking to end fuel exports, which would obviously have quite
3:22
Speaker 2: a big impact on us. So that's one thing. They
3:24
Speaker 2: were looking at the oil mog last night. So we'll
3:27
Speaker 2: keep you up to date if we hear news on
3:29
Speaker 2: what exactly they discussed. They were apparently getting a briefing
3:32
Speaker 2: from officials on that exact issue. The other thing this
3:37
Speaker 2: morning is, and I mentioned this was coming out today,
3:40
Speaker 2: but inflation out of the US pretty tame. As expected.
3:44
Speaker 2: Core inflation for February was up point two percent two
3:48
Speaker 2: and a half percent annual rate. That was the same
3:50
Speaker 2: as what was forecast by the Wall Street Journal, and
3:54
Speaker 2: one analyst described it as ho hum. An analystic Clearbridge
3:58
Speaker 2: Investments said it was stale. And the reason that he
4:00
Speaker 2: said it with stale is because and the fact that
4:02
Speaker 2: there was no real market reaction to this overnight is
4:05
Speaker 2: because everyone is now looking to next month. Why the
4:08
Speaker 2: war this month doesn't really matter. I mean, it's like
4:12
Speaker 2: a good number in the sense that it's an expected number.
4:15
Speaker 2: But what happens to prices once the oil starts to bite?
4:21
Speaker 2: Ten after five, Ryan Bridge, So next we'll look at
4:24
Speaker 2: tana Umaga. Is he going to the AB's ten after
4:27
Speaker 2: five on.
4:29
Speaker 1: Your radio and online? On iheard Radio Early Edition with
4:33
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and one route Love where.
4:36
Speaker 2: You Live News Talks, he'd been well after five on
4:41
Speaker 2: News Talks he'd been nine two nine two is the
4:43
Speaker 2: number to text. Harry says, good morning Ryan. The fallout
4:45
Speaker 2: from the HINZ what is thing is not just the
4:47
Speaker 2: three hundred and fifty workers, two hundred and twenty contracts
4:50
Speaker 2: are being canceled with the suppliers in Canterbury as well,
4:54
Speaker 2: so that will have a massive down the line impact.
4:57
Speaker 2: You're quite right that there will be a down the
4:58
Speaker 2: line impact. And we're going to speak to David Hadfield shortly.
5:01
Speaker 2: He's from a chair of Process Vegetables and Z. They've
5:05
Speaker 2: had problems. You might remember last year. Late last year
5:08
Speaker 2: there was an issue with the peaches coming in, all
5:11
Speaker 2: the imported veggies that were coming in and we're being
5:14
Speaker 2: switched out and so that's been an ongoing problem. Now
5:18
Speaker 2: they have this, so we'll get an update on that
5:20
Speaker 2: for you, Harry in just a second. Thirteen after five,
5:23
Speaker 2: Bridge Abe's Legendana Humunger has reportedly been picked by Dave
5:28
Speaker 2: Renny to be an assistant coach phase two of the
5:30
Speaker 2: coaching reset. Elliott Smith News Talks said, be Rugby commentator
5:33
Speaker 2: the voice of Rugby with us this morning, Morning Elliott.
5:36
Speaker 6: Good morning Ryan.
5:36
Speaker 2: Just so, do we know this or we think this?
5:39
Speaker 7: We think this?
5:40
Speaker 2: Look?
5:40
Speaker 6: This has been a name among a banded about pretty
5:42
Speaker 6: much ever since Sad Dave when he got the job
5:44
Speaker 6: last week on our Rugby podcast and Sky's Rugby shows,
5:50
Speaker 6: and I think that that confirmation is getting a little
5:52
Speaker 6: bit closer on the basis of some of those reports yesterday.
5:55
Speaker 6: Not really surprised at tima Umonga would be involved. Strong
5:59
Speaker 6: connection todayd Rennie played under Dave Rennie for Wellington and
6:03
Speaker 6: the NBC going back twenty five years now, but there's
6:06
Speaker 6: a strong connection there. So not officially confirmed. I'm hearing
6:09
Speaker 6: perhaps next week that the official announced in will we
6:12
Speaker 6: made around the assistant coaches, but seems more likely than
6:15
Speaker 6: not now that tana Umonger will be one of them.
6:18
Speaker 2: What about Neil Barnes, Yeah, he's right in the mix.
6:21
Speaker 6: As well, and he's a coach that's worked with Dave
6:24
Speaker 6: Rennie at the Chiefs for a number of seasons during
6:27
Speaker 6: that very successful tenure, then went back to Tartanaki. So
6:31
Speaker 6: we're seeing out the basis of Dave Renney's coaching team
6:34
Speaker 6: begin to form. Ryan now Neil Barnes will be there,
6:37
Speaker 6: is my understanding. Tana Umanger obviously very very close as well.
6:40
Speaker 6: There's other names that have been mentioned. Mike Bleer, who
6:44
Speaker 6: works with Dave Renni currently in Kobe, Scottish attack coach,
6:48
Speaker 6: likely to join the set up. Andrew Strawbridge, who again
6:51
Speaker 6: has worked with Dave Rennie in plenty of places including
6:54
Speaker 6: the Chiefs before, likely to be there as well. And
6:58
Speaker 6: then probably Jason Ryan is likely to be the only
7:01
Speaker 6: survivor of the previous All Blacks regime that will keep
7:04
Speaker 6: a job under this new setup of Dave Rennie. So
7:07
Speaker 6: the more we're hearing about it Ryan, the more it
7:08
Speaker 6: sounds like it's going to be a complete clear out
7:10
Speaker 6: of the assistant coaches under Dave Rennie for this new
7:14
Speaker 6: All Blacks regime.
7:15
Speaker 2: And what does that tell you, Elliott about what his
7:18
Speaker 2: plan is and of those names that you have mentioned,
7:21
Speaker 2: what style he's going for?
7:23
Speaker 6: Well, I think he's going to want to play a
7:25
Speaker 6: heads up, attacking style of football, but also need to
7:28
Speaker 6: balance that with the way that international rugby is in played.
7:31
Speaker 6: I don't think we can see the Dave Rennie style
7:33
Speaker 6: that we saw at the Chiefs working twelve years ago
7:35
Speaker 6: work at an international rugby because international rugby has changed
7:38
Speaker 6: so much in that time. But he's put himself around
7:42
Speaker 6: a lot of coaches that he works with you across
7:45
Speaker 6: a number of clubs, has strong relations with and can trust.
7:48
Speaker 6: And we saw in the last setup that you know,
7:49
Speaker 6: there was fallouts with different assistant coaches that didn't quite
7:52
Speaker 6: work out. He's surrounded himself with people that he knows
7:55
Speaker 6: he can work with, knows or believes that they can
7:57
Speaker 6: get the best out of and deliver the All Blacks,
8:00
Speaker 6: you know, World Cup win next year. So it'll be
8:02
Speaker 6: interesting to see what portfolios each of them take. I'd
8:04
Speaker 6: to spect Dave had a time at Umonger would probably
8:06
Speaker 6: look at a defense portfolio. That's where he's worked with,
8:09
Speaker 6: specifically with the Blues previously, currently Mwana Pacific as head coach,
8:13
Speaker 6: and your Barnes likely to be around the Fords and
8:15
Speaker 6: maybe a little bit of attack as well. But that's
8:17
Speaker 6: going to be interesting to see how they divvy up
8:19
Speaker 6: those portfolios once it's all said and done.
8:21
Speaker 2: Good on you all. Alex Smith News talks zb's Voice
8:24
Speaker 2: of Rugby. It's sixteen after five. I like tana Umaga
8:28
Speaker 2: just because when I was a kid and I was
8:30
Speaker 2: sort of forced to watch rugby. It was the hurricanes
8:34
Speaker 2: and it was the Tan of Umanga days and they
8:35
Speaker 2: were very good days. Indeed, right, we'd love your feedback
8:39
Speaker 2: this morning. Nine two ninety two is the number to
8:41
Speaker 2: text and we will talk about the boddies. Hinds are
8:43
Speaker 2: getting lots of texts on that talk about the body's
8:45
Speaker 2: hine situation in just a few moments. Also this morning,
8:50
Speaker 2: the price I mentioned the price of Brent crew had
8:52
Speaker 2: gone up futures up past ninety dollars from eighty six
8:56
Speaker 2: because and the reason for that, even though they've released
8:59
Speaker 2: the four hundred million barrels of oil, the International and
9:02
Speaker 2: Energy Agency or of IT announced that they will do
9:04
Speaker 2: that largest in history the Ukraine War. Remember they released
9:08
Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty eight barrels, so we're now up
9:10
Speaker 2: above double that. The reason the price has gone up
9:14
Speaker 2: is because there are mines that they are putting in
9:17
Speaker 2: the strait. This is Iran in the Strait of Humus
9:20
Speaker 2: and the UK says that three cargo ships have been
9:23
Speaker 2: hit by projectiles there. So it's like you can release
9:26
Speaker 2: all the oil you want, but when the passage through
9:30
Speaker 2: which a fifth of it must travel is still being
9:34
Speaker 2: mined and bombed. Very difficult. News Talk said B Views.
9:39
Speaker 1: And Views you trust to start your day. It's early
9:42
Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof love where you live.
9:47
Speaker 1: News Talk said B.
9:47
Speaker 7: Five.
9:48
Speaker 2: You're going to hear today from Nikol Ravashenka, who's the
9:51
Speaker 2: in New Zealand boss, who's fronting after Well, you know what.
9:54
Speaker 2: We've spoken about that yesterday. But Quantas they're not the
9:57
Speaker 2: only one hiking prices. Quantus is doing it as well.
9:59
Speaker 2: They're just doing it in a more roundabout We're not
10:01
Speaker 2: quite sure exactly how much weigh in New Zealand came
10:05
Speaker 2: out and said ten dollars, twenty dollars and then ninety
10:08
Speaker 2: dollars for long haul. Quantus has said it will depend
10:10
Speaker 2: on which route you are taking. Their price increase, there
10:14
Speaker 2: is an analyst out of the U, out of Australia,
10:16
Speaker 2: I should say, who says they reckon five percent across
10:19
Speaker 2: the board is what they're increasing their prices by. But
10:23
Speaker 2: more worryingly, the full impact of what we're seeing right
10:26
Speaker 2: now on the oil markets won't be felt for three
10:28
Speaker 2: to six months. Brian, what happens to the veggie growers?
10:32
Speaker 2: What is looking to act production of its frozen vegetables,
10:34
Speaker 2: plans to shut three facilities, three hundred and fifty jobs
10:38
Speaker 2: on the line, high costs, tough manufacturing environment to blame.
10:42
Speaker 2: David Hadfield is chair of Processed Vegetables New Zealand with
10:45
Speaker 2: me Live this morning. Morning, David, Morning, What happens to
10:49
Speaker 2: the contracts with growers?
10:52
Speaker 7: Oh, well, contracts are annual, so this current year's contracts
10:57
Speaker 7: pea harvest has just finished. Beans arounder Way character still
11:02
Speaker 7: to happen, so it'll be next season that it will
11:07
Speaker 7: affect us because normally in May through to June July,
11:13
Speaker 7: the Waddi's reps are out around seeing growers and signing
11:18
Speaker 7: up for the next season. But they will have grown
11:22
Speaker 7: pea seed for next season, so that's probably sitting in
11:25
Speaker 7: a grain store at the stage unless they'd let those
11:30
Speaker 7: guys know earlier than this, but I doubt they would
11:33
Speaker 7: have because it would have got out if that had
11:35
Speaker 7: to happen.
11:37
Speaker 2: So what happens to that and what happens to the growers.
11:42
Speaker 7: The growers now are going to have to look for
11:44
Speaker 7: other crop options. Process peas and beans were a good
11:50
Speaker 7: restorative crop and their rotation on an arable farm, so
11:56
Speaker 7: now they'll be looking for other restorative crops to put
12:00
Speaker 7: in its place.
12:02
Speaker 6: There will be some.
12:04
Speaker 7: Pe seed in peace for the feed industry contracts around.
12:10
Speaker 7: But he's a difficult decision for some growers because they
12:16
Speaker 7: rely on the cash flow of the process crop, mainly
12:20
Speaker 7: because you pay it's a ninety to one hundred and
12:22
Speaker 7: ten day crop and you're paid in the month after
12:25
Speaker 7: its harvesters, and you don't have to We didn't have
12:28
Speaker 7: to pay the harvest cost that was covered as part
12:31
Speaker 7: of the wadi's contract.
12:34
Speaker 2: And a harvesting's obviously a lot more expensive now the
12:36
Speaker 2: price of pet oil's going the way it is. David,
12:39
Speaker 2: what happens? What can you give us an idea of
12:42
Speaker 2: the financial impact for growers of this, Well, it's.
12:48
Speaker 7: It's one crop in a rotation that pays around what
12:53
Speaker 7: an average crop would be so and generally most most
13:00
Speaker 7: rollers it's one peddic of peas or a pedic of
13:04
Speaker 7: peas and a paedic of beans. So they'll replace it
13:08
Speaker 7: with another crop. But it's most of the cash flow
13:11
Speaker 7: implication more than they're replacing the crop, right, and a
13:17
Speaker 7: lot of crops we don't get paid for months after
13:19
Speaker 7: harvest for but as far as money wheat, it could
13:24
Speaker 7: be eighteen months after you've planted the crop before you're
13:28
Speaker 7: actually getting paid. Process crops it's short term, three months
13:35
Speaker 7: growing season and paid in month four.
13:38
Speaker 2: What's going on here?
13:40
Speaker 5: Is this?
13:40
Speaker 2: What these thing? Or we're not eating beans and peas.
13:44
Speaker 7: We're not eating as much New Zealand vegetable consumptions dropping
13:50
Speaker 7: New Zealand does that need to eat more vegetables because
13:53
Speaker 7: it's a good, healthy product. It's going to put a
13:56
Speaker 7: burden on the health system if they don't eat more healthy,
14:00
Speaker 7: fresh and frozen vegetables. But there is a lot of
14:05
Speaker 7: important product coming in, Yeah, and that is affecting us.
14:10
Speaker 2: I was reading at the end of last year, there
14:11
Speaker 2: were lots of stories around about this. Do you think
14:14
Speaker 2: that's part of the problem here?
14:16
Speaker 7: It is, it's definitely part of the problem. Yeah, New Zealand.
14:21
Speaker 7: We grow some of the best and highest yearing process
14:25
Speaker 7: crops in the world. But the cost of production, and
14:31
Speaker 7: that's not only the fuel costs and fertilizer costs and
14:38
Speaker 7: chemical costs, it's also the regular liatery costs on us
14:44
Speaker 7: to actually grow crops. Now, it's quite prohibitive and quite
14:49
Speaker 7: time consuming doing the paperwork.
14:51
Speaker 2: So what does that mean that we will grow less
14:53
Speaker 2: of them?
14:56
Speaker 7: Yes, there's still New Zealand growing process crops going to
15:01
Speaker 7: be available through McCain Foods and Hawks Bay and Telly's
15:05
Speaker 7: and Expersion, which I suggest that New Zealanders need to
15:09
Speaker 7: hunt out the packaging and the supermarket look at where
15:13
Speaker 7: it's growing, not not where it's packaged, because quite often
15:19
Speaker 7: the imported product is coming in in bulk and then
15:21
Speaker 7: packaged in New Zealand. We need to look at actually
15:25
Speaker 7: where it's growing.
15:26
Speaker 2: Roger but that David appreciate that. That's David Hadfield, their
15:29
Speaker 2: chair of Process Vegetables, New Zealand twenty five after five
15:32
Speaker 2: Will do the teachers next?
15:34
Speaker 1: The early edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio power by News.
15:38
Speaker 2: Talks IV five twenty seven News Talks it be. I
15:42
Speaker 2: can't see what the problem is with teachers getting a
15:44
Speaker 2: pay rise. Can you guess who does have a problem
15:48
Speaker 2: with teachers getting a pay rise? A teachers union? I know,
15:52
Speaker 2: how does that work? The union that's always saying teachers
15:55
Speaker 2: are undervalued, they're underpaid, doesn't want to pay rise. They're
15:58
Speaker 2: actually going to take legal act to try and stop
16:01
Speaker 2: it from happening. It's upside down day today, folks. It's
16:04
Speaker 2: back to front. This is the primary teacher union. They've
16:08
Speaker 2: been dragging out collective bargaining nine months in counting now,
16:11
Speaker 2: so in the meantime Old Mates of Brian Roch is
16:14
Speaker 2: offering non union teachers employed on individual agreements up to
16:18
Speaker 2: an extra four point seven percent within twelve months. That's
16:21
Speaker 2: two and a half percent from March, then two point
16:24
Speaker 2: one percent next year. This is, according to the government,
16:27
Speaker 2: an extra fifty to seventy six bucks a week in
16:31
Speaker 2: your pocket for a teacher. A third of primary teachers
16:34
Speaker 2: that's about ten thousand aren't part of the union. Now
16:38
Speaker 2: the union doesn't like this because they say it's the
16:41
Speaker 2: government trying to break their unity. But the reality is
16:45
Speaker 2: they're not unified. A third of them don't pay subs
16:49
Speaker 2: to the union, so therefore can go down the individual
16:52
Speaker 2: route with school boards. Last time I checked, they were adults.
16:56
Speaker 2: It's the kids that they're teaching, remember, and the union members,
16:59
Speaker 2: by the way, they can accept this off for two
17:01
Speaker 2: but they choose not to. Well, the union chooses not to.
17:05
Speaker 2: To your average key, we are union trying to stop
17:07
Speaker 2: non union teachers from getting a pay rise during a
17:09
Speaker 2: cost of living crisis by bringing in their expensive lawyers
17:12
Speaker 2: looks messy, controlling and frankly a little unfair. Throw into
17:18
Speaker 2: the mix, you've got the other teacher unions demanding updates
17:21
Speaker 2: on the war in Gaza and the fact that student
17:23
Speaker 2: achievement was pretty much in the bin for many years,
17:27
Speaker 2: and they start to look well beyond out of touch
17:30
Speaker 2: with the rest of us, don't they. News Talks, they'd
17:33
Speaker 2: be to the US.
17:34
Speaker 1: Next the news you need this morning and the in
17:40
Speaker 1: depth analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and one Roote
17:44
Speaker 1: love where you live news Talks at b.
17:52
Speaker 2: When you brought away from Sexier on News Talks, they'd
17:54
Speaker 2: be great to have you here. On a Thursday morning,
17:56
Speaker 2: we head to Washington. The US says they've hits five
17:59
Speaker 2: and a half one thousand targets in Iran in the
18:01
Speaker 2: last twenty four or so hours. We'll get an update
18:03
Speaker 2: on that. Also, laborism to explain their support for this
18:08
Speaker 2: teacher pay well, the union side of the teacher pay
18:11
Speaker 2: stash loads of your texts this morning. Nice to hear
18:14
Speaker 2: from you morning, Ryan says, Mike, great show. What's happening
18:17
Speaker 2: to the veggies. Is the same as happened to bacon.
18:19
Speaker 2: It's cheaper to import overseas products because we have so
18:22
Speaker 2: many regulations here. And that is true. That did happen
18:25
Speaker 2: with bacon, Ryan, what is what's happening there is the
18:30
Speaker 2: start of things to come? Do we want our vegetables
18:33
Speaker 2: all to arrive on a ship?
18:34
Speaker 7: Look?
18:34
Speaker 2: What's happening to the oil? I mean it's a good point,
18:37
Speaker 2: isn't it? Another person? And this is the flip side
18:39
Speaker 2: of the coin. I'm sorry, but I'll be shopping the cheapest.
18:42
Speaker 2: I can't afford New Zealand products anymore, spry and Bridge said, said,
18:47
Speaker 2: but it is true and part of the reason for
18:49
Speaker 2: that is because they are more difficult to make because
18:53
Speaker 2: there are more regulations when making and growing products here,
18:58
Speaker 2: primary industries here. So do we want to do something
19:00
Speaker 2: about that or do we want to just keep getting
19:03
Speaker 2: more and more expensive and pricing ourselves out of our
19:06
Speaker 2: own goods. Let's go to our reporters this morning, Rosie
19:09
Speaker 2: for duned In morning, Rosie, good morning. What's going on
19:12
Speaker 2: with Santana's illegal Hilltop communications tower?
19:17
Speaker 5: So Australian mining company Santana is tearing down an illegal
19:21
Speaker 5: Hilltop Communications Tower only a month after putting it up.
19:26
Speaker 5: ODT reports a Facebook post on February twentieth showed images
19:30
Speaker 5: of the tower on the summit of Battery Hill and
19:32
Speaker 5: the Bendigo Hills, but the post has since been taken down.
19:36
Speaker 5: The Central Otago District Council sent an abatement notice on
19:39
Speaker 5: March sixth saying required resource consents hadn't been obtained. The
19:44
Speaker 5: structures must be removed. Central Otago District Mayor Tama Ali
19:48
Speaker 5: says Santana has agreed to do so by March thirtieth.
19:52
Speaker 5: It comes to Santana six fast track consents for a
19:55
Speaker 5: proposed gold mine and the Bendigo, oh Fair site that
19:58
Speaker 5: could create more than eight hundred and sixty jobs over
20:01
Speaker 5: fourteen years.
20:03
Speaker 2: All right, Rosie, how's the weather.
20:05
Speaker 5: It's actually mainly fine today, but cloud will increase in
20:08
Speaker 5: the evening with a spot or two of light rain.
20:11
Speaker 5: Northerly is becoming strong for a bit in the afternoon
20:13
Speaker 5: in a high of twenty four degrees.
20:16
Speaker 2: Rosa, you enjoyed that weather and have a lovely day.
20:18
Speaker 2: Thank you. Clears and christ morning Claire, good morning. So
20:22
Speaker 2: what's going on with the missions?
20:24
Speaker 8: Oh?
20:24
Speaker 9: Yes, well, we've got climbing emissions here. We've found out
20:26
Speaker 9: that Christiat City Council's emissions have increased by almost seven
20:31
Speaker 9: eight hundred tons between twenty twenty four and twenty five.
20:34
Speaker 2: That's after they foul the year prior.
20:37
Speaker 1: Now sixty four.
20:38
Speaker 9: Percent of that came from wastewater treatment. We know, of
20:41
Speaker 9: course that's done at Bromley, which has been in our
20:43
Speaker 9: news since the fire, and also the stink that impacts
20:46
Speaker 9: all of us here. Trouble is, though, the treatment processes
20:50
Speaker 9: that are in place at the plant for now are
20:52
Speaker 9: also responsible for the higher emissions and odors. So a
20:55
Speaker 9: council spokesperson says, while there is a planned solution for
20:58
Speaker 9: this to bring down both the emissions and the stink,
21:01
Speaker 9: it's certainly not a quick fix.
21:02
Speaker 10: It's two years away.
21:03
Speaker 9: They're working on this activated sludge reactor to replace the
21:06
Speaker 9: trickling filters, which will reduce both problems, but that's not
21:10
Speaker 9: due to be commissioned till twenty twenty eight.
21:12
Speaker 2: Has the mayor walked back his let's put it in
21:14
Speaker 2: the ocean thing at yet?
21:16
Speaker 9: No, And he's going to be on news talks b
21:18
Speaker 9: Candorbory Mornings today.
21:19
Speaker 11: So we'll put it to him.
21:20
Speaker 2: Great. Yeah, I mean it's a terrible choice. Do you
21:23
Speaker 2: breathe it in or do you swim in it?
21:24
Speaker 10: You and eat it in your muscles? Seafood lunch, yuck.
21:30
Speaker 2: It's not funny. How's the weather?
21:32
Speaker 9: What is fun today is that it's fine. Northeasterly is
21:35
Speaker 9: strong for Banks Peninsula. Otherwise twenty four all right, thanks
21:38
Speaker 9: clear morning, Max, Good morning.
21:40
Speaker 2: I've predictably a cost blowout with the fairies.
21:43
Speaker 6: No, no, this is so.
21:45
Speaker 12: This is a fairies issue that I think we're going
21:47
Speaker 12: to be seeing more of increasingly over the next three
21:51
Speaker 12: years before everything shiny and newish arrives in the capital
21:55
Speaker 12: and in Pecton I suppose as well. But a mechanical
21:58
Speaker 12: fault has reduced Kiwi Rails into Islander Fleet to a
22:02
Speaker 12: single ferry in operation currently, the first time in four
22:05
Speaker 12: years this has actually happened. Sailings and the Kayadaha have
22:09
Speaker 12: been canceled until further notice. Hopefully it'll be back up
22:12
Speaker 12: and running in a matter of days rather than weeks.
22:15
Speaker 12: Apparently we just have to wait for a part to
22:17
Speaker 12: come in from overseas. But down to one ferry for
22:21
Speaker 12: inter islander freight affected as well.
22:23
Speaker 2: The third ferry.
22:24
Speaker 12: Of course, the Aditi retired in August.
22:26
Speaker 2: Ah, I see what you're getting net there, because there's
22:28
Speaker 2: also been the cost blow at with the replacement program
22:31
Speaker 2: of one hundred and sixty seven million dollars Iver rebudd it.
22:34
Speaker 12: There is some dispute with Winston Peter's office as to
22:38
Speaker 12: the veracity of that story. So still being stacked up,
22:41
Speaker 12: still being verified.
22:42
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, interesting and then most of the money
22:45
Speaker 2: apparently will fall on the councils anyway, So we'll wait
22:48
Speaker 2: and see what Winston says.
22:49
Speaker 12: How's our with exactly Yeah, I find today's norther least
22:52
Speaker 12: twenty good.
22:53
Speaker 2: On your max. Thank you morning, Nevats. What are you
22:57
Speaker 2: doing with rock pool foraging? But I can tell you.
23:02
Speaker 10: Okay, So there's a two year band now that comes
23:05
Speaker 10: into effect today. Now this is for the east coast
23:08
Speaker 10: north of Auckland, covering Funger Padola Peninsula, Calwo Bay and
23:12
Speaker 10: Omaha Bay. But the question is like, yeah, what you
23:15
Speaker 10: were saying earlier is the shellfish and seaweed should be
23:18
Speaker 10: banned nationwide, this rock pool foraging. And Shane Jones, who's
23:23
Speaker 10: obviously the Oceans and Fisheries Minister, he approved the band,
23:26
Speaker 10: and this was after reports you know, up to two
23:28
Speaker 10: hundred people a day with stripping those pools. Beare now
23:32
Speaker 10: protect Funger Padole of Rock Pools Group founder Mark Lenton says,
23:36
Speaker 10: this isn't just an issue, you know, an Auckland issue,
23:38
Speaker 10: well north of Auckland. It's nationwide and all our coastlines
23:42
Speaker 10: need to recover. So he says, you know, we can't
23:44
Speaker 10: rely anymore on fisheries New Zealand to handle it because
23:48
Speaker 10: you know, the underresourced and underfunded.
23:50
Speaker 7: So there we go.
23:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can just ban them, ban the whole together.
23:53
Speaker 2: I don't really like bands, but it seems pretty obvious
23:57
Speaker 2: that it needs to happen, you know what I mean?
23:58
Speaker 2: I think so too.
23:59
Speaker 10: Hey, how so cloudy rain spreading south of the afternoon,
24:02
Speaker 10: possibly heavy from tonight, Still hot though twenty four the
24:05
Speaker 10: high here.
24:06
Speaker 2: Thank you. It is eighteen away from six news Talk ZEDB.
24:08
Speaker 2: We'll get to Ginny Anderson from Labor before top of
24:11
Speaker 2: the hour and live to Washington. Next time is quarter
24:14
Speaker 2: to six on Newstalk zb Ryan. Same thing happened, I mean,
24:18
Speaker 2: the number of texts we're getting this morning on after
24:21
Speaker 2: the Veggies, the same thing happened? You put the regulations
24:24
Speaker 2: around them, and then the international option becomes cheaper, and
24:28
Speaker 2: then we start buying that. Someone saying plywood, same thing
24:31
Speaker 2: happened with plywood. Look at Tokodoa. Hey very quickly on
24:34
Speaker 2: the fairies, because I mentioned with Max this story and
24:36
Speaker 2: it was from the post from overnight Cooks Straight Fury project,
24:40
Speaker 2: sorry from yesterday Cooks Straight Fairy projected one hundred and
24:43
Speaker 2: sixty seven million dollars over budget. So the Minister in charge,
24:49
Speaker 2: Winston Peters, has put out a press release. He's disputing that.
24:53
Speaker 2: He says they have confused the total programs spend one
24:58
Speaker 2: point eight six seven billion as announced in November, with
25:02
Speaker 2: the Crown allocation within that which there will be no
25:06
Speaker 2: more than one point seven billion. The result is a
25:09
Speaker 2: confusion and misrepresentation of the facts. So there we go.
25:13
Speaker 2: He's saying there is no blowout to see here.
25:15
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, International correspondence with ends and eye insurance,
25:20
Speaker 1: peace of mind for New Zealand business.
25:22
Speaker 2: They've got to the US. Trump's just spoken on that
25:25
Speaker 2: attack on the school in Iran.
25:26
Speaker 1: I'm a taught Iran new of course, that the military
25:29
Speaker 1: investigation has found it with the United States that'structive. Four.
25:34
Speaker 7: I don't know about.
25:34
Speaker 2: It was very brief. Tragurudy Dave joins us a US correspondent,
25:40
Speaker 2: Good morning morning. The US strikes on the navy vessels
25:44
Speaker 2: in the strait, the how are they looking? What happened?
25:49
Speaker 1: Well?
25:50
Speaker 13: US Central commanders saying that they have eliminated multiple Iranian
25:55
Speaker 13: naval vessels. That's thehrase that they're used on social media
25:58
Speaker 13: and that's including stick c Stean mind layers near the
26:02
Speaker 13: Strait of horm Moos and they posted about thirty four
26:05
Speaker 13: seconds of unclassified footage showing the strikes. And this is
26:08
Speaker 13: after President Trump said on truth social that if Iran
26:11
Speaker 13: has put out any mines in the horn Moof strait,
26:13
Speaker 13: we want them removed immediately. And there are some reports
26:18
Speaker 13: that should suggest that that is exactly what Iran we're doing,
26:21
Speaker 13: putting down explosives in that strait of water. Because the IRGC,
26:25
Speaker 13: the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, was saying that they wouldn't
26:29
Speaker 13: even let a liter of oil leave the strait if
26:31
Speaker 13: youth Israel strikes continue in this strait is so crucial
26:34
Speaker 13: around a quarter of the global seeborne oil that's traded
26:39
Speaker 13: around the world is carried through that strait as well
26:43
Speaker 13: as liquified natural gas and fertilizers. And since then this morning,
26:48
Speaker 13: there's been strikes on three commercial ships near the Strait
26:52
Speaker 13: of Horn Moose according to the UK TMO Monitoring Agency,
26:56
Speaker 13: and one of those is a tie flagged cargo vessel.
26:59
Speaker 13: The IGC has taken responsibility for that. Three people are missing,
27:03
Speaker 13: twenty people have been rescued from that just gives you
27:05
Speaker 13: an example of how this key waterway is so crucial
27:08
Speaker 13: in this built part now of this conflict.
27:11
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and we've got the International Energy Agency releasing well
27:16
Speaker 2: announcing they're released four hundred million barrels of stockpiled oil,
27:19
Speaker 2: which is the largest in history. But the price is
27:21
Speaker 2: still going up because exactly what you've just been speaking
27:24
Speaker 2: about to gritty.
27:26
Speaker 13: Yes, exactly, we've been seeing gas prices in the US
27:29
Speaker 13: rise for the eleventh consecutive day. Oil prices they dipped slightly,
27:34
Speaker 13: but were just over ninety dollars a barrel a few
27:38
Speaker 13: hours ago, and that is much in the last month
27:42
Speaker 13: or so. That's like a thirty percent rise approximately in
27:46
Speaker 13: oil prices. So the roiling of the global oil markets
27:50
Speaker 13: is this war is sending shock waves, and that is
27:54
Speaker 13: one of the things that we're seeing, and we're seeing,
27:55
Speaker 13: you know, people paying more for their gas at the
27:57
Speaker 13: petrol pumps here in the US. And it's just adding
28:00
Speaker 13: to a sense that you know, recent polling backing this
28:03
Speaker 13: up that most of most Americans are not happy with
28:06
Speaker 13: the way this conflict is going.
28:08
Speaker 2: Appreciate your time to Greedy Dave, a US correspondent this morning.
28:11
Speaker 2: It's eleven away from six D primary teachers here back
28:14
Speaker 2: home threatening legal action against the Public Service Commission. Why
28:19
Speaker 2: non union teachers were offered a pay rights around four
28:22
Speaker 2: and a half to four point seven percent within twelve months,
28:25
Speaker 2: roughly the same deal currently being negotiated with the union.
28:28
Speaker 2: On her first full day in the job, Jenny Anderson,
28:31
Speaker 2: Labour's education spokesperson, joins us lived any, good morning, come morning,
28:35
Speaker 2: Thanks for having me on. Nice to have you here.
28:37
Speaker 2: What's wrong with teachers getting a pay rise?
28:39
Speaker 11: Teachers do an amazing job every day, but this is
28:43
Speaker 11: not going to help our kids learn and it's just
28:45
Speaker 11: going to divide teachers and make life tougher for teachers
28:48
Speaker 11: who are already leaving and going off to Australia.
28:52
Speaker 2: How will an extra fifty to seventy six dollars a
28:54
Speaker 2: week in their back pocket. Stop them going to us,
28:58
Speaker 2: not stop them going to Australia.
29:00
Speaker 11: This will divide teachers.
29:03
Speaker 7: It's a breach of good faith.
29:04
Speaker 11: So the way it usually happens is the collective agreement
29:07
Speaker 11: is negotiated and then this process happens. This has been
29:10
Speaker 11: used to divide teachers. And to be honest, if if
29:15
Speaker 11: Erica Stanford really did put our kids first, she wouldn't
29:17
Speaker 11: be pulling a stunt like this.
29:20
Speaker 2: But they're already divided because a third of them aren't
29:22
Speaker 2: union members. They choose not to be. That's they're adults.
29:27
Speaker 11: Well, what happens usually is the collective agreement is negotiated
29:30
Speaker 11: and then the individual happens after that. So by doing
29:34
Speaker 11: it this way, it's sooe the divide's teachers. We've already
29:37
Speaker 11: got a teacher shortage of over seven hundred teachers and
29:40
Speaker 11: this is not going to help our kids leave.
29:42
Speaker 2: But how is not paying non union teachers more going
29:47
Speaker 2: to help that shortage?
29:49
Speaker 11: Because it undermines the existing negotiation.
29:53
Speaker 2: We have to die. The one third, have to bend
29:56
Speaker 2: over for the two third.
29:58
Speaker 11: Now, that's the way it always happen, and it's the
30:00
Speaker 11: collective agreement is negotiating.
30:02
Speaker 14: How is that fair faith bargaining to the ten thousand
30:05
Speaker 14: adult primary teachers out there who decide of their own
30:10
Speaker 14: free will to not be union members, why should they
30:14
Speaker 14: not get a pay rise?
30:15
Speaker 2: Now, thank you very much.
30:18
Speaker 11: I hear what you're saying. I totally hear what you're saying.
30:20
Speaker 11: But the way of doing this actually underlines teachers and
30:24
Speaker 11: will pay them lease. They've been in good faith negotiations
30:27
Speaker 11: with who the governments say before that you should go
30:31
Speaker 11: back to the bargaining table and keep negotiating. The government
30:34
Speaker 11: should take its.
30:35
Speaker 2: Own jinny that the teachers, the two thirds who are
30:38
Speaker 2: union members, could take this deal tomorrow too. They just
30:41
Speaker 2: choose not to. Everyone has free will. We're all adults.
30:44
Speaker 2: The kids are the ones that they teach.
30:45
Speaker 7: They choose not to.
30:46
Speaker 11: They choose not to because they believe they deserve better.
30:49
Speaker 7: They do in violence.
30:50
Speaker 2: They can have their beliefs, they can go and believe
30:52
Speaker 2: in God for all I like. But why stop the
30:55
Speaker 2: other ones? Why stop the other ones getting the money.
30:58
Speaker 11: Because at the end of the day, it will mean
31:00
Speaker 11: least pay for our teachers, and we know that they
31:02
Speaker 11: already get credible least no, No, it's not. As an
31:06
Speaker 11: end of the day, it will not be more if
31:08
Speaker 11: you look at more what's being offered and what's being
31:11
Speaker 11: negotiated already, these people work incredibly hard. Ny.
31:17
Speaker 2: We have hows fifty to seventy six dollars extra a week,
31:20
Speaker 2: not more.
31:22
Speaker 11: Because they would get more under the collective if that
31:25
Speaker 11: kept being negotiated. The long game will provide more for
31:28
Speaker 11: teachers and give them what they're asking for through the bargaining.
31:32
Speaker 11: So this is a shortcut that gives them less money
31:35
Speaker 11: and not as good conditions as what they would get.
31:37
Speaker 2: Okay, sounds suspicious, Ginny, appreciate your time this morning, Ginny
31:41
Speaker 2: Anderson from Labor. It is eight minutes away from six MIC.
31:45
Speaker 1: Next the first word on the News of the Day
31:49
Speaker 1: earlier edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof Love where
31:53
Speaker 1: you Live News Talks'd.
31:54
Speaker 2: Be welcome back. It has just gone six away from six.
31:57
Speaker 2: We'll get to MIC in a few seconds. A z
32:00
Speaker 2: it's card tracking data shows spending was up for February
32:03
Speaker 2: point six percent, so annually up four point four percent
32:06
Speaker 2: on the same time last year. Annual growth has been
32:09
Speaker 2: positive for most sectors, which is good news. And then
32:12
Speaker 2: as same goes with the inflation number out of the
32:15
Speaker 2: US this morning, It's like, yeah, that's all good, but
32:17
Speaker 2: then what happens now that the walls happened, you know,
32:20
Speaker 2: Bryan Bridge morning, Mike, Greetings, what is this morning?
32:24
Speaker 8: Just sorry to interrupt because I'm sure you have something
32:26
Speaker 8: really probing and gripping, but the what is this morning?
32:30
Speaker 8: So what hinds?
32:31
Speaker 11: What is?
32:33
Speaker 8: We've got the CEO on that, so because I'm kind
32:35
Speaker 8: of keen to know what's going on here because remember
32:37
Speaker 8: the peaches thing was a thing last year. They weren't
32:39
Speaker 8: talking and I'm thinking, you know, and this is material.
32:42
Speaker 8: It's three hundred fifty jobs, and I'm just wondering if
32:44
Speaker 8: the manufacturing all production of stuff in terms of fruit
32:48
Speaker 8: and vegetables in this country is largely coming to an
32:50
Speaker 8: end because the major player, of course.
32:52
Speaker 2: And then there's the growers. We've had the growers on
32:54
Speaker 2: this morning, two hundred and twenty growers, two hundred and
32:56
Speaker 2: twenty contracts that that you know will be very much
32:58
Speaker 2: affected by this. And then they are saying it's all
33:01
Speaker 2: the regulations because the same thing happened with pork, you know,
33:05
Speaker 2: where the cheaper important stuff is what we buy because
33:09
Speaker 2: they don't have the same regulation we have.
33:10
Speaker 8: That weird thing I'd pay a few extra cents to support,
33:13
Speaker 8: and that is simply not true.
33:14
Speaker 2: We don't we don't know.
