- 0:36Speaker 3: Ukraine's still talking in Geneva. Zelenski still doesn't want to
- 0:40Speaker 3: give up land that he says was stolen.
- 0:42Speaker 5: Put in once legal recognition for what he has sold
- 0:48Speaker 5: to brief the principle of territorial integrity as sovereignty borders
- 0:54Speaker 5: Canada be chieved by.
- 0:56Speaker 3: Four Pope Leo he is talking to students at a
- 0:58Speaker 3: Catholic youth conference and says, don't let AI do your homework.
- 1:02Speaker 4: And your education. It's the most of this time.
- 1:06Speaker 6: AA can process information quickly, but it cannot replace human intelligence.
- 1:13Speaker 7: And don't ask it to do your homework for you.
- 1:15Speaker 3: It's weird hearing the Pope with an American accent still
- 1:18Speaker 3: is quite a lot. He's warned apparently that AI needs
- 1:21Speaker 3: serious ethical oversight and.
- 1:22Speaker 2: Responsible governance, but said yes.
- 1:34Speaker 3: This morning that reggae legend Jimmy Cliffe has died at

- 1:56Speaker 1: It's early edition with Ryan Bridge and are these explore RVs,
- 2:01Speaker 1: accessories and servicing fall in one news talks?
- 2:04Speaker 4: That'd be put me a text?
- 2:05Speaker 2: Nine two nine two is the number this business with party? Marti?
- 2:08Speaker 3: How is it that we cannot know for sure whether
- 2:11Speaker 3: there an mpover spent their budget by one hundred and
- 2:13Speaker 3: thirty thousand dollars or not?
- 2:15Speaker 2: How can we not know?
- 2:16Speaker 3: This is insane to me. You've got Debbie and Dharwity
- 2:20Speaker 3: and old mate JT. Pulling the puppet strings, saying she's
- 2:22Speaker 3: spent like a drunken sailor. Scandal, expulsion, chaos, and then
- 2:26Speaker 3: yesterday we hear from Muddy and Meno Kapakini herself she
- 2:30Speaker 3: reckons she was officially notified from Parliamentary Services that the
- 2:36Speaker 3: budget was in fact underspent. Are we over or are
- 2:41Speaker 3: we under? It should be pretty simple, a very simple
- 2:44Speaker 3: question to answer. I would a very open shutcase because
- 2:48Speaker 3: one of the problems we have here is secrecy. Not
- 2:50Speaker 3: by the Party because they've been going tip for tat
- 2:52Speaker 3: in public, but parliamentary Services. You can't oia them. It's
- 2:56Speaker 3: like information Fort Knox. You get more out of the Kremlin.
- 3:00Speaker 2: It's considered a separate branch of government basically. But why to.
- 3:05Speaker 3: Party malorho can fight all they like over who paid
- 3:07Speaker 3: what to whom and when, but the tax payers should
- 3:10Speaker 3: be able to know the truth. It's not fair on
- 3:13Speaker 3: us and it's actually not fear either on the Party,
- 3:16Speaker 3: but especially I think Kupa KINGI in this situation, if
- 3:19Speaker 3: somebody is being unfairly maligned in the media for something
- 3:22Speaker 3: they didn't do, it shouldn't be this hard or take
- 3:25Speaker 3: this long. For the rest of us to get to
- 3:28Speaker 3: the truth. The goodness sakes nine minutes after five. Now, Ryan,
- 3:34Speaker 3: it might have heard Genesis Energy, the big solar farm.
- 3:38Speaker 3: They'll be wanting to do it Edgecombe Bay of plenty.
- 3:40Speaker 3: They're doing it and construction will start, they say shortly.
- 3:44Speaker 3: And this is enough energy, enough electricity to power around
- 3:47Speaker 3: twenty nine thousand homes. It'll be up and running by
- 3:50Speaker 3: the second half of twenty twenty seven financial year, which
- 3:53Speaker 3: is great and more than you can say for the
- 3:55Speaker 3: one in Northen where the bird's holding it up. There's
- 3:57Speaker 3: a bird that flies across the top of the solar
- 4:01Speaker 3: farm and the greenies don't like the fact that the
- 4:04Speaker 3: birds might dive bomb and suicide into the panels. I
- 4:08Speaker 3: know it makes no sense to me either, but that's
- 4:10Speaker 3: what's holding it up. Could take another year because of
- 4:13Speaker 3: their concerns. So there you go. At least something's happening
- 4:15Speaker 3: in Edgecomb. This morning ten after five News Talks VB.
- 4:18Speaker 3: We'll talk about that social investment agency that's been set up.
- 4:21Speaker 3: As Bill English's baby Nikola Willis comes in takes the reins.
- 4:25Speaker 3: Of course Costa. That's all a bit awkward, but the
- 4:28Speaker 3: funding's going out. The door, So who's getting it? We'll
- 4:30Speaker 3: tell you next News Talk ZEDB the news you.
- 4:33Speaker 1: Need this morning and the in depth analysis earlier edition
- 4:37Speaker 1: with Ryan Bridge and are the Supercenter explore r these
- 4:41Speaker 1: accessories and servicing fall than.
- 4:43Speaker 3: One News Talks EDB five thirteen Good news on the
- 4:46Speaker 3: job front. We'll get to that in a second, But first,
- 4:47Speaker 3: how much do you reckon we spend.
- 4:49Speaker 2: On pets every year? It's a stop.
- 4:51Speaker 3: I mean we get this story every couple of years
- 4:53Speaker 3: or every year, but it's one point eight billion dollars
- 4:56Speaker 3: a year we spend on pets. In this article, they
- 5:01Speaker 3: talk about a dog called Phoebe who eats thinly sliced
- 5:04Speaker 3: blue fin tuna, roasted vegetable quinoa salad, and a chunk
- 5:08Speaker 3: or two of Spanish ham for lunch. What are you
- 5:12Speaker 3: eating for lunch today? It's not that, is it. I've
- 5:17Speaker 3: seen a dog with a prada leash walking around my neighborhood,
- 5:21Speaker 3: and I know of a dog through a friend who
- 5:24Speaker 3: has a bathrobe. So once every time they have a
- 5:26Speaker 3: butt has like little bathrobe with a little hat that
- 5:29Speaker 3: they put on it. What's wrong with people? Thirteen minutes
- 5:32Speaker 3: after five bread bread first seven groups to get cash
- 5:36Speaker 3: from the fifty million dollars Social Investment Fund of being announced.
- 5:38Speaker 3: This is the first round of funding the fifty million
- 5:41Speaker 3: aimed at helping kids stood down before the age of thirteen,
- 5:44Speaker 3: those who've been in state care or who have a
- 5:46Speaker 3: parent behind bars. The funded services range from counseling the
- 5:50Speaker 3: kids in the Heart Behavior Change program in Levin's support
- 5:53Speaker 3: for disabled students in Auckland in a Ratahi prior is
- 5:57Speaker 3: with Naziawa Social and Health Services Trust Chief executive there
- 6:00Speaker 3: en it's with me this morning. Good morning, Ryan, Good
- 6:04Speaker 3: to have you on the show, Enid. What is your
- 6:06Speaker 3: organization doing?
- 6:09Speaker 8: So for this particular program, we're establishing a new front door.
- 6:14Speaker 8: So front door is going to be a central point
- 6:18Speaker 8: for all family harm intake, assessment and service provision. So
- 6:26Speaker 8: it's very very different to what is currently happening in
- 6:29Speaker 8: the Eastern Bays Plenty for family harm coordination.
- 6:33Speaker 2: What's happening now, Enid.
- 6:35Speaker 8: So what happens now, Ryan, is that family harm is
- 6:40Speaker 8: very much centralized around police response, police co ordination, and
- 6:47Speaker 8: what we seek to do through a new front door
- 6:50Speaker 8: is changed that to a more community driven response and
- 6:56Speaker 8: community driven rap round service.
- 7:00Speaker 3: So have you done this type of work before. Do
- 7:03Speaker 3: you have a model that you had to prove.
- 7:06Speaker 8: Yes, yes, we do so. Very recently we erected a
- 7:11Speaker 8: new front door that takes reports of concern from autoung
- 7:16Speaker 8: Automotic and transfers those reports of concern into a community
- 7:23Speaker 8: front door. Now, as a result of taking those reports
- 7:26Speaker 8: of concern out of Autoong Automodic, we have seen a
- 7:31Speaker 8: decline in children entering the autong automatic system because we've
- 7:37Speaker 8: actually incorporated wrap around services that support Farno and keep
- 7:42Speaker 8: them out of autong Automotic care. We're taking the very
- 7:46Speaker 8: same principles around that front door and not removing the
- 7:52Speaker 8: police totally, but working more closely with the police in
- 7:56Speaker 8: a coordinated way to support fun experiencing family harm. That
- 8:02Speaker 8: is a very very big shift. It actually supports families
- 8:08Speaker 8: who may otherwise not report family harm because of the
- 8:13Speaker 8: fear of having their children immediately uplifted by Ordong Atomitiki
- 8:19Speaker 8: because there.
- 8:20Speaker 2: Are the help. This is the difference.
- 8:22Speaker 3: It's kind of taking the authority part out of it,
- 8:25Speaker 3: the police part out of it, the OT part out
- 8:28Speaker 3: of it, and say hey, we're a bit more friendly,
- 8:30Speaker 3: so get in touch and you can fix the problem
- 8:32Speaker 3: before it becomes a disaster.
- 8:35Speaker 8: That's certainly the intention, but you can never remove the
- 8:41Speaker 8: need for state intervention or police intervention, very very critical
- 8:47Speaker 8: and harmful points in a journey like what we're talking about,
- 8:53Speaker 8: so we still have that as a part of our kitty,
- 8:59Speaker 8: is part of the tool. But this is a very
- 9:02Speaker 8: prevention focused, very rap round in terms of support mechanisms
- 9:07Speaker 8: that we're now bringing into the system.
- 9:09Speaker 2: And appreciate your time this morning. Thanks for being with me.

- 9:18Speaker 1: News TALKSVB the first word on the News of the
- 9:22Speaker 1: Day early edition with Ryan Bridge and r V Super
- 9:25Speaker 1: Center explore r v's accessories and servicing all in one.
- 9:29Speaker 4: News Talks FB five.
- 9:31Speaker 3: Nineteen on News TALKSB at Westminster right now over in
- 9:33Speaker 3: the UK, the BBC's getting the grilling. It's normally the
- 9:36Speaker 3: other way around, and we have heard from a guy
- 9:38Speaker 3: called Michael Prescott. Michael Prescott was the Editorial Editorial Advisor
- 9:45Speaker 3: for the BBC Editorial Guidelines and Standards Committee because apparently
- 9:50Speaker 3: they had one.
- 9:51Speaker 9: There was no ideology at play here, no party politics. If,
- 9:56Speaker 9: for example, if you take an example of the US
- 9:58Speaker 9: elections report that came before the committee. If it had
- 10:02Speaker 9: found that it had been Carmler Harris misrepresented, not Donald Trump,
- 10:06Speaker 9: I would have acted in exactly the same way, because
- 10:08Speaker 9: I don't want the BBC's coverage scheme this way or
- 10:11Speaker 9: that way. I just want it to be impartial, accurate
- 10:15Speaker 9: and fair.
- 10:16Speaker 3: Does anyone believe that, Ryan Bridge so grim snapshot of
- 10:20Speaker 3: our food waste problem? The study from Otiger Unises key.
- 10:23Speaker 3: We's toss out one point two million tons of food
- 10:26Speaker 3: a year. That's about two hundred and fifty kilograms per
- 10:29Speaker 3: person every year. It's basically not our problem, though it's
- 10:32Speaker 3: most of it comes from the food industry itself. Sophie
- 10:35Speaker 3: Wolland is love Food, Hate Waste, New Zealand program manager,
- 10:38Speaker 3: joining me now, Hi.
- 10:39Speaker 4: Sophie, Good morning, Ryan, good to be here, Good.
- 10:43Speaker 2: To have you on the show.
- 10:44Speaker 3: So we can blame the food industry for all of
- 10:46Speaker 3: that's not us aying.
- 10:49Speaker 10: I'd love to point fingers, Ryan, but I think the
- 10:53Speaker 10: Dallas pretty clear that you know, thirty percent of food
- 10:56Speaker 10: waste is still coming from household so you and I
- 10:59Speaker 10: do have a part to play in this major problem.
- 11:02Speaker 10: But the good news is there's really some easy solutions
- 11:05Speaker 10: that we can all take to reduce that thirty percent
- 11:08Speaker 10: of household food waste contributing to that massive as you say,
- 11:11Speaker 10: one point two million tons of food going to landfill
- 11:14Speaker 10: every year.
- 11:15Speaker 2: So if you will it ever be zero?
- 11:17Speaker 3: I have my mother in law staying with us, and
- 11:18Speaker 3: she said, let's just get everything that's in the fridge.
- 11:21Speaker 2: And make something.
- 11:21Speaker 3: Now I don't I would normally never do that, but
- 11:24Speaker 3: she did it, made a beautiful chicken soup. Put everything
- 11:27Speaker 3: in there. Is it ever going to be zero? Is
- 11:29Speaker 3: there any country who has gotten close to zero? Anyone
- 11:32Speaker 3: doing better than us?
- 11:35Speaker 10: There's definitely countries doing better than us. But to answer
- 11:40Speaker 10: the question will we ever get it to zero in
- 11:42Speaker 10: the household, it is there's always going to be sorry,
- 11:45Speaker 10: unavoidable food waste. So you know your Apple cares, your
- 11:48Speaker 10: advocados tips, But there's definitely lots we can do. And
- 11:52Speaker 10: what your mom has suggested with the fridge harvest is something.
- 11:55Speaker 10: And love food, hate waste. We love to see families do.
- 11:59Speaker 10: We recommend having a week, sorry a night every week
- 12:03Speaker 10: where you just raid the fridge. We recommend having it
- 12:06Speaker 10: eat me first, shelf so all those little bits and
- 12:08Speaker 10: bobs that you do need to use up when you
- 12:11Speaker 10: have a fridge harvest at my level ready to go
- 12:15Speaker 10: and a good reminder to use them up.
- 12:17Speaker 3: Is part of the problem that the size of the
- 12:20Speaker 3: packaging that we get stuff.
- 12:21Speaker 10: In it can be in some cases, you know, definitely
- 12:27Speaker 10: install the size of the packaging. Lots of multi deals,
- 12:31Speaker 10: they can be quite you know, they can look from
- 12:34Speaker 10: the outside like a really good deal, but ultimately if
- 12:38Speaker 10: you don't have a plan for that food, then it
- 12:40Speaker 10: can you know, it is likely that it can go off,
- 12:43Speaker 10: that you don't get to it in time, and then
- 12:45Speaker 10: ultimately it ends up in the bin. So we definitely
- 12:49Speaker 10: recommend before you head to the shop to plan your meals.
- 12:52Speaker 10: So we recommend three the four seas, check your week,
- 12:56Speaker 10: check what you've got, choose your meals, and create your
- 12:58Speaker 10: list and head to the shop with that physical list
- 13:02Speaker 10: so you don't get sidetracked by those multi deals or
- 13:04Speaker 10: you know, as you say, over buying. But sometimes you know,
- 13:08Speaker 10: you can get a really good deal, and with the
- 13:10Speaker 10: cost of living crisis it is you know, if you've
- 13:13Speaker 10: got the space, then you can purchase in bulk. But
- 13:17Speaker 10: we've just got to make sure that you're storing it correctly.
- 13:19Speaker 10: So if you're not sure how to store something, you
- 13:22Speaker 10: can jump onto the Love Food Tape Waste website. There's
- 13:24Speaker 10: ages storage guide and I can tell you exactly how
- 13:28Speaker 10: to store your food correctly.
- 13:29Speaker 2: All right, Sophie, Nice to have you on the show.
- 13:31Speaker 2: Thank you, Sophie. Well and Love Food, Hate.
- 13:33Speaker 3: Waste twenty three minutes after five on News Talk. But
- 13:37Speaker 3: I've already forgotten the first seat, let alone the fourth one, Ryan,
- 13:41Speaker 3: peanut butter sandwich for lunch for me, says Taylor. Taylor,
- 13:44Speaker 3: don't waste the crust or you're get in trouble with Sophie.
- 13:48Speaker 2: Now very quickly. Some texts we spoke to.
- 13:51Speaker 3: This is the first funding round for the Social Investment Agency.
- 13:55Speaker 3: This is the thing that's going to solve all of
- 13:56Speaker 3: our problems. Solve all of our problems, Ryan, This new
- 13:59Speaker 3: front door project that you were interviewing the guest about
- 14:02Speaker 3: sounds confusing and complex. More money will be spent on
- 14:05Speaker 3: staff than those and needs, say is Greg. The whole
- 14:08Speaker 3: point of the Social Investment Agency is that it's all
- 14:11Speaker 3: data driven, so they will have to prove and look up.
- 14:15Speaker 3: This is the theory. This is the idea. I'm not
- 14:18Speaker 3: saying this is how it's gonna work, but this is
- 14:20Speaker 3: how it's meant to work. That you pick children who
- 14:23Speaker 3: have these certain indicators like is your parent on a benefit?
- 14:26Speaker 3: Is your parent in jail? Have you been kicked out
- 14:28Speaker 3: of school? And you go, all right, these are the
- 14:29Speaker 3: kids we need to focus on so that they don't
- 14:32Speaker 3: become tomorrow's problem. And then the agent the money that
- 14:35Speaker 3: you give out, those groups have to prove that they're
- 14:39Speaker 3: doing something good for them and they have to have
- 14:41Speaker 3: data to back it up. That's the idea of it.
- 14:44Speaker 3: So let's hope that's what happens. Hey twenty five after
- 14:46Speaker 3: five News Talks AB the early edition.
- 14:49Speaker 1: Full the show podcast on iHeartRadio.
- 14:51Speaker 4: How It by NEWSTALKSB.
- 14:54Speaker 2: News TALKSB five twenty seven This rates cap. How's it
- 14:57Speaker 2: actually going to work?
- 14:59Speaker 3: I had luxon on my Herald show yesterday. We'll get
- 15:01Speaker 3: an announcement coming in the next few weeks on this.
- 15:03Speaker 3: But ask any mayor, and not the ones who like
- 15:05Speaker 3: Disco Loes and Golden Miles, but any mayor that already
- 15:09Speaker 3: does the basics stuff. They are cutting their cloth. Tim
- 15:12Speaker 3: McIndoe and Hamilton I spoke to the tuttedhoom mayor yesterday.
- 15:16Speaker 3: They all say the same thing. We are doing the basics,
- 15:19Speaker 3: we've cut the silly stuff, and we don't know how
- 15:22Speaker 3: this is going to work without bankrupting local government. RIMA
- 15:26Speaker 3: reforms will be a big part of this. Luxon's talking
- 15:28Speaker 3: about amalgamation. If there are fewer consents needed or consents
- 15:32Speaker 3: are streamlined, do we need so many councils with a
- 15:36Speaker 3: back office bigger than Kim Kay's booty? Probably not so
- 15:39Speaker 3: less work, especially for regional councils. Could lipose some cost
- 15:44Speaker 3: out of the system, that'd be good. Then there's the
- 15:46Speaker 3: back office more generally now the tatedoom mayor, his name's
- 15:49Speaker 3: Scott Gilmore, interstant guy. He made a good point that
- 15:52Speaker 3: about double up that we've got going on. We have
- 15:54Speaker 3: something like sixty seven territorial authorities in New Zealand, all
- 15:59Speaker 3: have their their own finance departments, All have their own
- 16:02Speaker 3: comms teams, not that they talk to us, all have
- 16:06Speaker 3: their own legal teams, the full kitten kaboodle. Can they
- 16:09Speaker 3: combine the back office a bunch across a bunch of
- 16:13Speaker 3: councils and save some cash that way, he reckons they
- 16:18Speaker 3: can and to his credit, he's already talking to his
- 16:20Speaker 3: neighbors about doing exactly that. But even with no frills
- 16:24Speaker 3: and just upkeep on the basics, residents are still staring
- 16:28Speaker 3: down the barrel of double digit rate increases or at
- 16:31Speaker 3: least north of seven percent, which as we know, is
- 16:34Speaker 3: more than inflation. So a rates cap, like a move
- 16:38Speaker 3: on order for rowdy rough sleepers on Queen Street might
- 16:41Speaker 3: sound like a good idea, but is it fixing a
- 16:44Speaker 3: problem or simply moving it down the road for somebody
- 16:46Speaker 3: else to have to clean up bread b Marco Rubio
- 16:50Speaker 3: is explaining to us what an agreement or a peace
- 16:54Speaker 3: treaty is in very simple terms. This is how it works.
- 16:58Speaker 6: In order to have a proposal, you have to rate it.
- 17:00Speaker 6: You know, if it's just verbal, it's in the air,
- 17:02Speaker 6: you have to put it down on a piece of paper,
- 17:04Speaker 6: and just because it's printed on a piece of paper
- 17:06Speaker 6: doesn't indicate finality. So you get input and based on
- 17:09Speaker 6: that input you make adjustments, and then you get more input.
- 17:11Speaker 6: You or you make a counter offer and you get
- 17:13Speaker 6: more adjustments. That's an ongoing process. There's a lot more
- 17:16Speaker 6: of that to.
- 17:16Speaker 3: Happen, and so far there's been no real success. This
- 17:19Speaker 3: is the talks in Geneva for Ukraine. Still talking back
- 17:23Speaker 3: and forth, standard stuff. Kremlin wants more land, Zelenski says, no,
- 17:27Speaker 3: you've stolen it, you can't have it. And how big
- 17:30Speaker 3: will the standing army be? And what about the US backstop.
- 17:33Speaker 2: We're in Australia next.
- 17:41Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan
- 17:45Speaker 1: Bridge and are the supercenter explore? Are these accessories and servicing.
- 17:49Speaker 2: All in one?
- 17:50Speaker 4: News Talk said BET news Talk.
- 17:58Speaker 11: Twenty four minutes away from six on your Tuesday morning,
- 18:01Speaker 11: we will talk to our reporter out of Australia because
- 18:04Speaker 11: they found half a time of cocaine floating in the

- 18:08Speaker 2: Also, just before six, we'll look at the building warranty
- 18:11Speaker 2: from the government that they're bringing in.
- 18:13Speaker 3: If you're doing renos, if you're building a house, you'll
- 18:15Speaker 3: be wanting to listen into that one. Now, good news
- 18:18Speaker 3: on the job front this morning. This is six October
- 18:21Speaker 3: Jobs report. Job ads risen one percent for each of
- 18:24Speaker 3: the past four months now, so that's another percent for
- 18:27Speaker 3: the last month. That's seven percent year on year. This
- 18:30Speaker 3: is good news, strongest increase since late twenty twenty two.
- 18:34Speaker 3: Job ads are your leading indicator, so the stats and
- 18:37Speaker 3: dead stuff won't show this yet, but it should filter
- 18:40Speaker 3: through now if you break it down. Applications per ad
- 18:44Speaker 3: are also up, so there's as many people looking for
- 18:46Speaker 3: jobs as there are our jobs available. However, the increases
- 18:49Speaker 3: across almost all industries now Sport and recreation four percent, Education, training,
- 18:55Speaker 3: legal that's up three percent, Tourism up three percent, Information
- 18:59Speaker 3: and communication technology that's now fifteen percent, up year on
- 19:04Speaker 3: year and fastest month on month increased. Hawks Bay and
- 19:07Speaker 3: Otago both at three percent to peace twenty three to six.
- 19:10Speaker 3: Bryan can our reporters around the country columns in Donedan Colum,
- 19:14Speaker 3: Good morning morning, Ryan. You've got a health update for
- 19:17Speaker 3: Queenstown Lakes and Central Otago.
- 19:20Speaker 2: The residents up there will love this.
- 19:22Speaker 12: Health New Zealand's investigating ways to deliver more locally based
- 19:25Speaker 12: outpatient clinics across Central Otago, as well as strengthen mental
- 19:29Speaker 12: health and addiction services there and improve access to care
- 19:32Speaker 12: in general. Health in ZED says. The goal here is
- 19:36Speaker 12: to provide greater health services locally and reduce travel burdens
- 19:40Speaker 12: in what is one of New Zealand's fastest growing areas.
- 19:42Speaker 12: They say projections show expanding these services could prevent around
- 19:46Speaker 12: thirty thousand trips every year.
- 19:49Speaker 2: Beautiful part of the country. How's the weather in Dunedin.
- 19:52Speaker 12: It's mainly fine nor easterly strong about the Potinsula. Nineteen
- 19:55Speaker 12: hour high today.
- 19:56Speaker 2: Cheers Collum, have a good day. Clearsan christ Church Morning player,
- 19:58Speaker 2: Good morning. You've got a rail update for us.
- 20:01Speaker 13: Yeah, well, this is a passenger rail service that would
- 20:03Speaker 13: connect Greater christ Church Greater City rather with the CBD
- 20:07Speaker 13: and specifically our new stadium. Is getting a bit exciting
- 20:10Speaker 13: to be honest. We've got Mainland Rail proposing this so
- 20:13Speaker 13: called Events Express service. What it would do is aim
- 20:17Speaker 13: to shift a more than five and a half thousand
- 20:19Speaker 13: people per event into the city from the links of Rolliston,
- 20:22Speaker 13: Angioder and Ashburton. This should be in place, they hope,
- 20:26Speaker 13: before the new stadium opens in April. They've got to
- 20:29Speaker 13: the point where they have locked in a meeting with
- 20:31Speaker 13: the City Council next month to discuss some of the
- 20:33Speaker 13: finer details. Meorfilm Major says council does want to support
- 20:37Speaker 13: ideas like this. These are the kinds of things that
- 20:39Speaker 13: will make christ Church have a real point of difference,
- 20:42Speaker 13: he says, the keen to help make people's experience coming
- 20:45Speaker 13: to the city as positive as possible.
- 20:47Speaker 2: Great. How's your weather, Claudy.

- 20:57Speaker 2: I saw this video of It's a Cricket Club. It's
- 21:00Speaker 2: pretty brutal.
- 21:01Speaker 14: Yeah, just your friendly social T twenty game in Upper
- 21:05Speaker 14: Huts over the weekend. That took an incredible turn for
- 21:07Speaker 14: the worst couple of local teams Bachrat eleven and Royal Blues.
- 21:12Speaker 14: An umpire decision. Clearly one team took exception to. In
- 21:15Speaker 14: these types of games, the players usually umpire themselves, so
- 21:18Speaker 14: I'd imagine it was a bit of a one eyed call.
- 21:22Speaker 14: And then our brawl broke out. Stumps were pulled out
- 21:25Speaker 14: of the ground, bats lifted in the air. The two
- 21:27Speaker 14: teams started whacking each other with the wood, which is
- 21:30Speaker 14: hardly in the spirit of the game first advised by
- 21:32Speaker 14: gentlemen in medieval England. Players on both teams left with
- 21:36Speaker 14: some almighty bruises. They've been sharing images of us with
- 21:39Speaker 14: us of.
- 21:40Speaker 2: Red scars all over their bodies.
- 21:43Speaker 14: Cricket Wellington's investigating the game itself ending on forfeit. Police
- 21:48Speaker 14: not taking action at this stage.
- 21:49Speaker 2: Nothing worth the being wet with wood. How's your with them?
- 21:52Speaker 14: Exactly fine with high cloud nor easterlyas twenty two nice
- 21:55Speaker 14: one mix, Thank.
- 21:56Speaker 2: You morning, never good morning. Now. We've got a big
- 21:58Speaker 2: blaze in Wayouku this morning.
- 22:00Speaker 15: That's right, that's underway as we speak. So what's happened
- 22:03Speaker 15: is that there's a section of Kitchener roads. Some side
- 22:06Speaker 15: roads are closed. This major blaze is on a property
- 22:10Speaker 15: in Wauku. Cruise from across Auckland there responding, I think
- 22:14Speaker 15: it happened overnight. We've had loads of pictures from listeners
- 22:18Speaker 15: in that region that came through. Was for a man
- 22:21Speaker 15: who was on overnight and so there's video and it's
- 22:24Speaker 15: quite dramatic. It's you know, the pictures there, they tell
- 22:26Speaker 15: a story. I think they're going to be put on
- 22:28Speaker 15: the herald shortly. Woaku Volunteer Fire Brigate says that people
- 22:32Speaker 15: they should be mindful because obviously the smoke and wind change,
- 22:35Speaker 15: you know, keep those windows and everything closed, follow any
- 22:38Speaker 15: official advice, and I think there's quite a few roads
- 22:42Speaker 15: in that area that are closed off as well around
- 22:44Speaker 15: that Kitchener Road area.
- 22:46Speaker 8: Right.
- 22:46Speaker 15: The locals know that region be.
- 22:47Speaker 2: Were never think you. How's our weather?

- 24:53Speaker 3: Lizzie Oemens. Lizlie, good morning, morning Ryan. Now, the cocaine
- 24:58Speaker 3: that they've seized from the water, one hundred and seventy
- 25:00Speaker 3: million bucks worth they reckon.
- 25:03Speaker 17: Yes, it's more than five hundred kilos, was actually thrown
- 25:08Speaker 17: overboard from a livestock carrier and that's what police are alleging.
- 25:13Speaker 17: They say that it was thrown overboard, attached to a
- 25:17Speaker 17: drum to keep it afloat, and a couple of fishermen
- 25:21Speaker 17: actually founded off the coast of Wa and they alerted
- 25:24Speaker 17: the police, which has set off this operation to try
- 25:27Speaker 17: and find where it's come from. Now police have since
- 25:30Speaker 17: arrested and charged a forty six year old Croatian national.
- 25:34Speaker 17: He was actually the chief officer of the livestock vessel
- 25:39Speaker 17: and he's been charged with attempting to import drugs into Australia.
- 25:43Speaker 17: There are a few others who have also been arrested
- 25:45Speaker 17: and charged over it, and they'll all be facing court
- 25:48Speaker 17: in January.
- 25:49Speaker 2: Right And they only knew about it because of the fishermen.
- 25:52Speaker 17: Yes they did.
- 25:56Speaker 2: Would this wee boy?
- 25:57Speaker 3: A four year old Gus who went missing South Australia
- 26:00Speaker 3: as we while ago. Now what's the update.
- 26:03Speaker 17: Oh yeah, look, this is such a sad story. Gas LaMonte,
- 26:07Speaker 17: just four years old, went missing on September twenty seven
- 26:11Speaker 17: from Oak Park Station in remote South Australia. Now, he
- 26:15Speaker 17: was playing outside. His grandmother was actually looking after him,
- 26:20Speaker 17: she was checking on him, but he just vanished into
- 26:23Speaker 17: thin air. And it's just so sad that all searches
- 26:29Speaker 17: so far of the station and surrounds have found absolutely
- 26:33Speaker 17: nothing to try and find out where he's actually gone.
- 26:38Speaker 17: This week though, the police have said that they've actually
- 26:41Speaker 17: found six unused or disused mine shafts on the property
- 26:47Speaker 17: and that's what their search this week is going to
- 26:49Speaker 17: be concentrating on, hopefully to try and find some something
- 26:55Speaker 17: of little Gus. That has just been such a sad,
- 26:59Speaker 17: sad story, little boy in his family.
- 27:01Speaker 2: Absolutely terrible.
- 27:02Speaker 3: Leslie, thanks for that update, Leslie yemens Our, Australia correspondent.
- 27:05Speaker 3: It's twelve to six compulsory building warranties. Government's moving on this.
- 27:10Speaker 3: They say they want to protect us from cowboys. So
- 27:12Speaker 3: renovation work costing more than one hundred thousand dollars you'll
- 27:15Speaker 3: need a compulsory warranty, thank you very much. All new
- 27:18Speaker 3: houses under four stories you'll need a compulsory warranty, Thank
- 27:22Speaker 3: you very much. Malcolm Fleming is New Zealand Certified Builders
- 27:25Speaker 3: that you are joining us now?
- 27:26Speaker 2: Hey Malcolm, good.
- 27:28Speaker 18: Morning, Ryan, good move, Yes, very positive move. This has
- 27:31Speaker 18: been some industry has been calling or for as long
- 27:34Speaker 18: as I've been in these sort of roles. And that's
- 27:36Speaker 18: over Adycade.
- 27:37Speaker 2: How many properties are being built right now that don't
- 27:40Speaker 2: have warranties?
- 27:42Speaker 18: Well, if I look at the membership and his own
- 27:43Speaker 18: certified builders, even though one hundred percent of our twenty
- 27:47Speaker 18: three hundred members can offer a guarantee, only about forty
- 27:51Speaker 18: two percent of our building contracts have a guarantee attached
- 27:56Speaker 18: to them. So that's sort of magnitude.
- 27:58Speaker 2: How much extra will it cost to add that to
- 28:00Speaker 2: the contract?
- 28:02Speaker 18: What depends on the size of the project. At the
- 28:06Speaker 18: very low level of a one hundred thousand dollars, it's
- 28:08Speaker 18: a zero point fourteen percent. One's just sort of get
- 28:12Speaker 18: into sort of closer million, it's like zero point one
- 28:14Speaker 18: to three percent.
- 28:15Speaker 2: What does it cover?
- 28:18Speaker 18: It covers defects for a year and also structural structure
- 28:23Speaker 18: for ten years, so it's a ten year quite comprehensive guarantee.
- 28:26Speaker 2: What are defects?
- 28:29Speaker 18: Defects are those sort of issues that need to be
- 28:31Speaker 18: sort of tidied up close to the completion of the
- 28:36Speaker 18: build well structure are more deep bedded ones for example,
- 28:41Speaker 18: water ingress or thebes movement in the actual structure itself.
- 28:46Speaker 3: Why haven't you so only forty percent of certified builders
- 28:50Speaker 3: actually put this into their contracts. Now why wouldn't they
- 28:52Speaker 3: the rest of them put them in do you think
- 28:54Speaker 3: is it just because they want to be as competitive
- 28:56Speaker 3: on cost as they can be.
- 28:58Speaker 18: So, just to be really clear, this is a product
- 29:02Speaker 18: that a homeowner pays for they're a builder. So the
- 29:05Speaker 18: reason that it's not going on to all of the
- 29:07Speaker 18: contracts is that either the builder is not offering it
- 29:11Speaker 18: to a homeowner, so that's certainly part of it, or
- 29:14Speaker 18: it is offered to homeown the homeowners saying no, I
- 29:16Speaker 18: won't pay that additional thousand dollars or whatever it might
- 29:19Speaker 18: be depending on the cost of the project. I'm going
- 29:21Speaker 18: to spend that somewhere else.
- 29:24Speaker 2: So your advice would be, if it's not offered to you,
- 29:27Speaker 2: ask for it.
- 29:29Speaker 18: Very much. So the moment and what was announced yesterday
- 29:33Speaker 18: that once the regulation is in place and there's a
- 29:36Speaker 18: timeline of that which I'm looking probably abound twenty twenty
- 29:40Speaker 18: seven for us to be in place, that will be
- 29:42Speaker 18: mandatory for a homeowner for the side top of projects
- 29:46Speaker 18: we talked about earlier, to have a home warranty product
- 29:50Speaker 18: of some type in place.
- 29:52Speaker 2: And until then ask for it. That's the advice.
- 29:55Speaker 3: Appreciate your time this morning, Malcolm. Thank you Malcolm Fleming

- 30:15Speaker 3: Over in the UK, we're going to need a budget
- 30:17Speaker 3: soon and Rachel reeves, although she said I won't hike
- 30:20Speaker 3: taxes again like I did last year, that's going to
- 30:23Speaker 3: happen again. One of the problems business has, much like
- 30:26Speaker 3: here you will know this story. The cost of electricity
- 30:29Speaker 3: is a big problem. If you're a manufacturer in the UK.
- 30:32Speaker 3: It is a massive problem. Most expensive electricity in the
- 30:36Speaker 3: G seven. So what they've done ahead of the budget
- 30:38Speaker 3: has come out with a little sweetener for seven thousand
- 30:41Speaker 3: British businesses manufacturers electricity bills they say are going to
- 30:46Speaker 3: be slashed by twenty five percent. This is to try
- 30:49Speaker 3: and keep them competitive. It is the number one issue
- 30:52Speaker 3: facing British businesses.
- 30:54Speaker 2: Based one. You've got tariffs and stuff.
- 30:56Speaker 3: But this is up there though, calling it the Modern
- 30:58Speaker 3: Industrial Strategy from April twenty twenty seven and high growth industries,
- 31:03Speaker 3: the automotive, aerospace, all that kind of chemicals. Even they
- 31:07Speaker 3: are going to slack and how they're going to do
- 31:09Speaker 3: it is basically exempt them, give them a discount from
- 31:13Speaker 3: the renewable energy obligations. So to hell with climate change.
- 31:18Speaker 3: Let's just build stuff and make stuff and make some money.
- 31:22Speaker 2: Pry and the bread fixed the six. Mike's here now,
- 31:24Speaker 2: I morning, Mike Eetings Ryan. How much do you spend
- 31:27Speaker 2: on your dog?
- 31:29Speaker 5: Ah?
- 31:30Speaker 7: You were doing that this morning. I don't know is
- 31:32Speaker 7: the answer, but ludicrous amounts. It depends picturing. Once it
- 31:36Speaker 7: includes the vet, the bill goes up. So if you're
- 31:39Speaker 7: talking about a can of dog food, it's not that
- 31:41Speaker 7: big a deal. We just recently introduced all brand into
- 31:44Speaker 7: a diet and so I don't know what all brand costs,
- 31:47Speaker 7: but that's a bit of human you know.
- 31:49Speaker 2: Cereal just no milking, just all it.
- 31:51Speaker 7: We don't do milk, she does she has only does water.
- 31:54Speaker 7: But so we do the meat that we do some biscuits,
- 31:57Speaker 7: and we do all bran.
- 31:58Speaker 2: But she's fortunately for us.
- 32:00Speaker 7: We did go down the track for a while there
- 32:02Speaker 7: of clothing and coats and stuff, but.
- 32:05Speaker 3: Like them, that's kind of what I was picturing when
- 32:07Speaker 3: I when I thought about Joe and I thought about
- 32:09Speaker 3: a dog, I was thinking.
- 32:10Speaker 2: You had me right, you had me right. Gucci loafers
- 32:13Speaker 2: on the dog.
- 32:14Speaker 7: But she's got all that, but she doesn't like it.
- 32:16Speaker 7: So therefore we've got an excellent selection that I'll probably
- 32:19Speaker 7: end up putting on trade me shortly. But she's she
- 32:22Speaker 7: just objected it.
- 32:22Speaker 3: It's insane how much people are doing it, but at
- 32:24Speaker 3: one point eight billion dollars a year on their pets.
- 32:27Speaker 3: There's a dog here that's eating thinly sliced bluef and
- 32:30Speaker 3: tuna for lunch.
- 32:31Speaker 7: It's very nice. There's nothing wrong with bluef and tuna.
- 32:34Speaker 7: I know that's not very free dog, very good for you.
- 32:37Speaker 7: We do a sandwich I wasn't funny enough. You should
- 32:39Speaker 7: say that, I was Chris. Do we do Christmas very
- 32:41Speaker 7: poorly in this country?
- 32:43Speaker 2: Do you think like we don't spend enough?
- 32:45Speaker 7: What it's not just that we just you go out
- 32:47Speaker 7: now looking for lovely, high quality, beautiful things to hang
- 32:50Speaker 7: on your tree, you can't find them.
- 32:51Speaker 2: We're a kmart country. Well, well, it used to be
- 32:55Speaker 2: Smith and Coe should go to.
- 32:58Speaker 3: You's ball balls because food. He likes a ball ball
- 33:02Speaker 3: He doesn't. Every year bars the new merry one every
- 33:06Speaker 3: year by is the new bable. Can't go to Smith
- 33:08Speaker 3: and Cars and get a ball?
- 33:08Speaker 7: Well can't exactly. So the funny thing is, and it
- 33:11Speaker 7: was so lovely. Our youngest is out there doing that
- 33:13Speaker 7: at the moment. She wants some some quality baubles, that's cue,
- 33:17Speaker 7: and you just cannot because she wants to, you know,
- 33:19Speaker 7: have bits for life. Like you get a tree and
- 33:22Speaker 7: you look at after your bables and it's Christmas after
- 33:24Speaker 7: and you just can't find them. It's just all imported
- 33:26Speaker 7: Chinese crap.
- 33:27Speaker 2: Ask Winston, he's got a few. What about what about
- 33:30Speaker 2: just ordering online? As she tried it, it's probably late.
- 33:33Speaker 7: And that's that's the point. Though it's all done internationally.
- 33:35Speaker 7: If you look at London at the moment, it's festooned
