  Speaker 2: says he doesn't need cheese help on Iran. Thank you
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: very much.

  Speaker 3: He's been a friend of mine. He's been somebody that
• 0:47

  Speaker 4: Let me also thank the leader of the opposition for
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: the usual warm and generous nature.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: But we do have one thing in common.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: Our parties both had tough results in the local elections
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: last week. The difference is she hasn't noticed.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: It's all very funny. For now, I'll get to wirds
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: trading in a second awkward timing because the King was
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: visiting for the State opening of Parliament at the same time.

• 1:52
  Speaker 5: respect for difference under our common flag.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Finally, this morning, you know the Lincoln Memorial in Washington,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: d C. There's a reflected pool in front of it,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: big body of water. Trump is painting at blue ahead
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: of the two hundred and fiftieth birthday this summer.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Think of it as this, We have a color.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: It's called American flag blue.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: He says. It a cost about one and a half
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: million mixed reviews so far.
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: Reflecting Paul not a swimming pool, and the blue to
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: me is going to look like a swimming pool.
• 2:21
  Speaker 7: History does not need to be changed. Seems like a
• 2:24
  Speaker 7: nice idea as a Wie.
• 2:25
  Speaker 8: And Tony and I like it.
• 2:26
  Speaker 9: Things I've seen President Trump do look great, so I'm
• 2:29
  Speaker 9: going to trust him.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: The funniest thing about the story is the fact that
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Trump got his own pool guide to do the painting.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day early
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and Spark for Business Technology that
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: keeps Business Moving News Talks, that'd.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Be nine two the number to text. A couple of
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: little inflation bits for you to start off this morning.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: So we had a quarterly survey Curtly, a courteous quarterly
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: survey from the IBNZ on inflation expectations. This is going
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: out and asking people do you expect inflation is going
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: to go for April? And it was interesting because they
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: were probably not as high as you might expect. So
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: three point four percent, that's up from two point six
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: percent for March and two point four percent a year ago.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: But when you consider that the actual number for March
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: was three point one percent, people aren't expecting inflation to
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: go that much higher, which may be an indication that
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: perhaps they're not feeling it as badly as the number
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: would suggest. Over in America, they've had wholesale inflation. We
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: gave you the CPI number yes day, but wholesale inflation
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: this is basically what producers are charging. Prices charged by
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: producers up one point four percent for April from the
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: month before, and economists were expecting half a percent, so
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: that is quite a jump. Markets not really liking that
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: ahead of opening over on Wall Street this morning. However,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: in video, this is what I wanted to tell you about.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: In video, shares jumped three percent and basically they're putting
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: that down to the fact that the CEO last minute
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: addition to that trip where President Trump over to see
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: she in China. Now, the interesting part about it is
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: that the chip sales, the restrictions in China are among
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: one of the many issues that in Vidia has sourcing
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: product to make it stuff. So among the topics that
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: they reckon could be on the discussion agenda for the
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: President is loosening those which would of course benefit and video.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: So interesting little tidbit for you this morning. Ten after five.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Ryan Bridge coming up next to talk about the pre
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: budget speech by the Prime Minister yesterday and we'll touch
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: on the operating allowance but also the immigration settings, which
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: look like National is going to come out with some
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: policy pretty shortly News TALKSB.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: News and Views you trust to start your day. It's
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: early edition with Ryan Bridge and Spark for Business Technology
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: that keeps business moving NEWSTALKSB five thirteen.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: You know Trump's Golden Dome, the missile defense system that
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: he's talking about, and he estimated would cost one hundred
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: and seventy five billion American dollars. That was how much
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: was their mark? Guess what the latest estimate is for
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: a cost one point two trillion, so just a little
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: over budget. We'll talk to Mitch McCann about that. He's
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: here in about half an hour's time. Brian Bridge hem's
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: pre budget speech operating allowance CUP from two point four
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: to two point one billion. Wants cooler heads on immigration too.
• 5:27
  Speaker 10: Failed immigration policies in Europe and North America have also
• 5:31
  Speaker 10: stoked to politics of division online. Immigration now seems to
• 5:34
  Speaker 10: be an emerging political issue in New Zealand.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Two.
• 5:37
  Speaker 10: Holding our society together under all of those pressures will
• 5:40
  Speaker 10: be challenging.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: To Eric Crampton, chief economist at the New Zealand Initiative.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: With me this morning, good morning, good morning. We'll start
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: with migration. We don't have both people. We have plain
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: people and they contribute over and above their fair share,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: don't they.
• 5:54
  Speaker 9: That's the New Zealand data. Yeah, So when the Prime
• 5:56
  Speaker 9: Minister is talking about importing narratives from Europe in North
• 6:00
  Speaker 9: America and I'm not really applying here, well, he's right
• 6:03
  Speaker 9: about that. We don't really have any good data yet
• 6:06
  Speaker 9: on the other assertions on social cohesion. I expect that
• 6:10
  Speaker 9: they're looking at their own polling data. Unfortunately, MB puts
• 6:14
  Speaker 9: out a survey on this every two years, so in
• 6:16
  Speaker 9: alternate years they survey migrants and they serve a Kiwis
• 6:20
  Speaker 9: around how immigration is going. They've been doing this for
• 6:23
  Speaker 9: a long time. The most recent survey was put out
• 6:27
  Speaker 9: last year twenty twenty five, on twenty twenty four on
• 6:31
  Speaker 9: twenty twenty three data, so the twenty twenty five data
• 6:33
  Speaker 9: will come out probably in August twenty six. As of
• 6:37
  Speaker 9: the twenty twenty three data, New Zealanders were pretty positive
• 6:42
  Speaker 9: about migration, so seventy two percent said they felt quite
• 6:46
  Speaker 9: or very positive about migrants, and that was a record
• 6:49
  Speaker 9: high proportion. Twenty one percent were neutral and five percent
• 6:53
  Speaker 9: had negative views. There's also being a significant increase in
• 6:56
  Speaker 9: the proportion of people saying migrants making new Zealand a
• 6:59
  Speaker 9: better place to live. That rose from forty five percent
• 7:03
  Speaker 9: in twenty seventeen to fifty seven percent in twenty twenty three,
• 7:07
  Speaker 9: and the proportion saying that migrants make it a worse
• 7:09
  Speaker 9: place to live dropped from sixteen percent to thirteen percent.
• 7:14
  Speaker 9: So I'm not quite sure where this is coming from.
• 7:17
  Speaker 9: We do see a lot of online action of people,
• 7:21
  Speaker 9: some of them from New Zealand, some of them not
• 7:22
  Speaker 9: from New Zealand, asserting all kinds of harms from migration.
• 7:27
  Speaker 9: Europe has had some substantial problems, but Europe has really
• 7:31
  Speaker 9: messed up labor markets. So to take an example, in Sweden,
• 7:35
  Speaker 9: the unemployment rate for immigrants is about double the overall
• 7:40
  Speaker 9: immigration rate the unemployment rate in New Zealand. It's not
• 7:45
  Speaker 9: like that, it's slightly blow.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: The only thing, the only issue that I see with
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: immigration is some of the jobs that we are bringing
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: people in to do. I note that the ex Party
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: had to release the other day saying that a two
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: and a half thousand fast food workers have been brought
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: and there's a thousand beauty therapists, and yet we have
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: almost according to the number out the other day, fifteen
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: percent of young people in this country doing nothing with
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: their lives. Why are we not getting those young people
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: to do those jobs instead of bringing labor in.
• 8:15
  Speaker 9: Well, it's considered from an employer's perspective. If you've got
• 8:18
  Speaker 9: someone who's well experienced in the area, and you've got
• 8:22
  Speaker 9: your facing a minimum wage, you can choose to hire
• 8:24
  Speaker 9: someone who's not New Zealand experienced but has a lot
• 8:28
  Speaker 9: of overseas experience, or someone who has no New Zealand
• 8:31
  Speaker 9: experience or anywhere else experience. You'll probably go for someone
• 8:35
  Speaker 9: who's got a bit more experienced.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's being fast with you.
• 8:39
  Speaker 11: The minimum wage.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but in fast food you know what I mean?
• 8:42
  Speaker 9: Oh sure, yeah, that it is disappointing. Yes, the Act
• 8:48
  Speaker 9: has been talking about revisiting the the categories for work
• 8:55
  Speaker 9: shortages more regularly. I'm not quite sure on some mechanics
• 9:00
  Speaker 9: on being able to do this annually, because you'll end
• 9:02
  Speaker 9: up inevitably hitting people who are mid process in getting employment.
• 9:08
  Speaker 9: There were also a few prompt Sorry, there are always
• 9:11
  Speaker 9: niggles in immigration policy and a few swings in roundabouts.
• 9:15
  Speaker 9: So one of the ways that the last government found
• 9:19
  Speaker 9: it easier to accommodate more migration after the borders had
• 9:22
  Speaker 9: been closed for a really long time. Was by broadening
• 9:25
  Speaker 9: access to the Accredited employer program. So more traditionally large
• 9:31
  Speaker 9: employers with big reputations and a lot at stake had
• 9:35
  Speaker 9: a pathway for as an accredited employer to bring workers
• 9:39
  Speaker 9: through when people were screaming out for workers because of
• 9:43
  Speaker 9: desperate labor shortages when the economy is overheated. They extended
• 9:47
  Speaker 9: that to a lot of employers that possibly shouldn't have
• 9:49
  Speaker 9: gotten that. So that's one of the things that could
• 9:52
  Speaker 9: have been fixed.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Doctor Eric Crampton, appreciate you Tom this morning, chief economist
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: at the New Zealand Initiative. Eighteen minutes after five year
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: on news Talks, they'd be able to talk about smoke
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: a big tobacco next.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge on early edition with Spunk for Business Technology
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: that keeps business moving News talks that be We've.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Still seen the last gasps from Starma. The death rattle
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: is happening. You can't coop while the King is at Westminster,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: which is why nothing's happened yet. But he had a
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: seventeen minute coffee with We's streeting as Health Secretary and
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Starma number ten came out said don't worry. It's all good,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: it's all good, nothing's happening here. But then you've got
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Wes Streeting's allies coming out and saying he's preparing to
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: resign and trigger a coup. The opposition making light of
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: this whole situation, saying they want to lead our country.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: This is labor. They can't even lead a coup. Ryan
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Bridge really messy. Indeed, Talbot Mill's smoking survey out this morning,
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: just over one thousand people, two thirds of them reckon
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: our smoking laws are influenced by big tobacco. They want
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: to see a return to low nicotine cigarettes. Half want
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: a ban on nicotine pouches. Professor Chris Bullen, Orkan University Professor,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Public Health Health Coalition ALTETA Health Coalition ALTA is a
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: by their definition, a titidity led coalition of health NGOs.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Winston Peters has previously labeled them left wing. Professor Chris
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Bullen joins me this morning, Good morning, good morning, how
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: are you very well? Thank you? So the survey saying
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: that the policy has influenced my big tobacco is the
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, could you say that of any industry?
• 11:27
  Speaker 11: Sure all industries are policies orientated towards them. I think
• 11:33
  Speaker 11: the big difference here is we've got a long history
• 11:36
  Speaker 11: of dealing with the tobacco industry all around the world,
• 11:38
  Speaker 11: and they behave in particularly bad ways. Their products are
• 11:43
  Speaker 11: incredibly harmful. That's well known. So why should a government
• 11:47
  Speaker 11: that seems to be interested in the health and well
• 11:51
  Speaker 11: being of all New Zealanders they give access to these
• 11:56
  Speaker 11: this kind of industry to influence their policy in a
• 11:58
  Speaker 11: way that we are.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Has it led to more harm? Are we seeing more
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: harm today than we were two years ago from tobacco products?
• 12:10
  Speaker 11: Well, I think the answer is that we're stalled with smoking.
• 12:13
  Speaker 11: Smoking being the most harmful tobacco product out there. The
• 12:18
  Speaker 11: prevalence of smoking should have been lower than it is
• 12:20
  Speaker 11: if the government had held to the previous settings policy settings,
• 12:26
  Speaker 11: But when the coalition government came in, one of the
• 12:30
  Speaker 11: bottom lines the US in the first was to repeal
• 12:33
  Speaker 11: the smoke free legislation, which modeling suggested would have dramatically
• 12:37
  Speaker 11: reduced smoking below five percent in a few years. So
• 12:41
  Speaker 11: that were we to rebelieve around an additional eight thousand
• 12:44
  Speaker 11: people buying from smoking related diseases over the next twenty years,
• 12:48
  Speaker 11: and that could be prevented through appropriate policies.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: That's only in the legal market, right And if you
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: look at Australia where they have between fifty and sixty
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: percent of all tobacco and nearly all vaping products in
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Australia right now are from criminal suppliers according to Deacon University.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: So yes, you might be able to do what you
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: say you want to do with legal products, but it
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: won't stop the clearly stubborn six point eight percent of
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: New Zealanders who want to smoke a durry.
• 13:20
  Speaker 11: Well, we don't have the same issue with illegal tobacco
• 13:27
  Speaker 11: because of our regulated vaping market and because the set
• 13:31
  Speaker 11: policy settings have actually been I think more sensible here.
• 13:35
  Speaker 11: But we do need to be very careful because things
• 13:40
  Speaker 11: could turn suddenly in the wrong direction. However, the monitoring
• 13:44
  Speaker 11: that the Mystery of Health has been supporting in trying
• 13:47
  Speaker 11: to assess the size of the illicit market doesn't suggest
• 13:50
  Speaker 11: that the problem here is as bad as it is
• 13:53
  Speaker 11: in Australia by any stretch.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, appreciate your time this morning. An analysis Professor Cris
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Ball and Ulkin University Professor Public Health Coalition. At our
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: time is twenty four minutes after five Ryan Bridge. He
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: interesting number the unemployment rate. I mean, you think it's
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: bad here, and I was talking about almost fifteen percent
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: of nets not in education, employment or training young people unemployment.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: The general rate of unemployment in France eight point one
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: percent for Q one this year, highest level since twenty
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: twenty one. But they've had a problem with unemployment in
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: France for decades and mccroncaidy do something about it, and
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: he hasn't really done anything about it since taking office
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: in twenty seventeen. The reforms haven't worked. Unemployment. High unemployment
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: continues to plague their labor force. If they're not on strike,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: they're just not at work. It is twenty four after
• 14:40

• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Five twenty seven News Talks Hebb. You can't escape bureaucrats
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: in Wellington. It's just an occupational hazard, isn't it of
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: living there? Despite the bad press that they get, they're
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: not all useless, but it depends on how you use
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: them and how often you use them. Take the Golden
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Mild disaster as just one example of this. Council agrees
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: to a project that can't afford expensive crazy ratepayers revolt.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: By the way, a lot of the money coming from
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: US taxpayers generally cost blows out from one hundred and
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: sixty million to two twenty that's sixty million blowout or
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: thirty disco toilets and Wellington dollars. New mayor comes in.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Review is ordered. Then enter the reviewers, a nine person
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: panel supposedly independent reviewers, costing four hundred k, which is
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: at least one bike rack for cyclists in Wellington dollars.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Then yesterday there's a meeting. They basically say this thing
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: is still somehow affordable for Wellington, despite the fact the
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: city can't afford to fifty cent mix at the dery.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: At present enter the mayor. Mayor is asking some questions
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: about Mission Creep. He's suggesting that political judgments are being
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: made by these reviewers. They want their big project and
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: they don't really care which poor old Wellington ratepayer funds it.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: This is not entirely the fault of the Boffins doing
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: the reviewing, because as I understand it, the review was
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: set up not to actually make major changes to the
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Golden Mile, just tweaks, which begs the question why was
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: a review ever needed at all? And why did it
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: cost four hundred k. You either want to spend sixty
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: million dollars in which case do or you don't, in
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: which case don't. Why the endless spending on pen pushes
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: and the reviewers at all? Bryan Bridge, twenty eight minutes
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: alfter five. Now we spoke about the Aussie budget yesterday
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: and the capital gains tax not just property obviously, and
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: there's been some interesting numbers put out. Stock Spot founder

  Speaker 2: Chris Bryeck has come out with some numbers young Australians
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: investing into exchange traded funds, so you're getting some on
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: the stock market, and these people are off more often
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: than not saving for a house deposit, and that's the
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: whole thing with this. So we want to get game
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: people into houses. So interesting they've don't run the numbers.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: What does the capital gains tax due to their investments? Well,
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: it could see the capital gains tax bill increase by
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: more than two hundred and sixty percent. If you've got
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: twenty five k in an ETF investment forty thousand dollars
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: over five years, that's equivalent to a nine point nine
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: percent a year pre tax return you are missing out
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: on two thousand, one hundred dollars under the new rules,
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: and that if you're saving for a house, is an
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: extra year? Not great? Is that when you look at
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: it from that perspective. News Talks B We're life at

  Speaker 12: Queenstown fourteen.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Here nice one, cheers Callum clear and christ Church morning, Claire,
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: good morning. You got the new stadium now we're fighting
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: over what to do with the temporary stadium site.
• 19:32
  Speaker 7: Yes, that's exactly what's happening.
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: So we've got some christ Church City councilors questioning why
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: the public isn't being involved in consultation before decisions are
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: made on the old stadium site. That's the one at
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: Addington known as Apollo Projects Stadium. Yesterday the council met
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: and they have made a decision to ask RMA Reform
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: Minister Chris Bishop to fast track the rezoning of that
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: site in order to allow a broader range of things,
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: including housing. Now, five councilors opposed the decision to write
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: to the minister. A local councilor, Melanie Coca, was one
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: of them. She says she's already gathered feedback from residents
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: on her Facebook page and that public inputs should be
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: prioritized before rezoning is done.
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: She says, well, she doesn't.
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: Have any particular views on what should happen with the land,
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: she thinks that genuine consultation with the community is needed.
• 20:17
  Speaker 7: The Mayor Film Major Thole, on.
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: The other hand, said the area is in desperate need
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: of housing and he's pleaded for his colleagues to vote
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: in favor.
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: So in the end they came to a balance.
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: They've decided to write to the minister and start the
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: process of fast tracking that rezoning, but community consultation will
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: also take place later this year.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Everyone loves a fast track, don't they. How's you with
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: the clear?
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: Fine, but a bit foggy and frosty to start, some
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: cloud developing a bit later at light winds and sixteen degrees.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: I thank you morning, big Boy, Big Maxie and Wellington,
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: how are you? Good morning? How are you going? I'm
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: very well? Thank you? Who's quit? What project?
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: So?
• 20:54
  Speaker 13: The Oriental Bay band rotunda along the harbor front, prime
• 20:58
  Speaker 13: beach location, central enough to walk to, sitting empty since
• 21:01
  Speaker 13: twenty twelve. In September we got wonderful news it was
• 21:04
  Speaker 13: going to be done up. Beautiful new restaurant, garage project, bar,
• 21:08
  Speaker 13: a day spa going in there as well as part
• 21:11
  Speaker 13: of it. I can't tell you how significant this would be.
• 21:13
  Speaker 13: You come to the city for the first time and
• 21:14
  Speaker 13: it's instantly noticeable. You get up close and it's a
• 21:17
  Speaker 13: rickety shabby dump. Even had a high profile chef lined up,
• 21:21
  Speaker 13: Ben Bailey, who runs a few of the bigger restaurants
• 21:23
  Speaker 13: around the country. He's out a breakdown in negotiating. Apparently
• 21:27
  Speaker 13: couldn't reach commercial terms with developer Watson Group. Interesting quote
• 21:31
  Speaker 13: from garage project off the back of that as well.
• 21:34
  Speaker 13: Work is progressing and we are hopeful will be operational
• 21:37
  Speaker 13: later this year, but hard to know if that'll actually
• 21:40
  Speaker 13: happen or not. So what is happening, It's not clear.
• 21:43
  Speaker 13: It's been for some time notoriously difficult to open a
• 21:45
  Speaker 13: bar or restaurant in Wellington. If this did fall apart,
• 21:48
  Speaker 13: I think it would be a sort of reading level,
• 21:50
  Speaker 13: reading cinema level of debacle.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's such a shame because it is such a
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: cool spot. Have they still got that ship there that
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: you can go and there's a Sellard bar on board it?
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: The what I'm talking about that.
• 22:00
  Speaker 13: I believe closed down a few maybe last year or
• 22:03
  Speaker 13: the year before, but I believe it's closed. The restaurant, Yeah,
• 22:06
  Speaker 13: the floating the floating restaurant.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, how's it wet?
• 22:09
  Speaker 13: The partly cloudy southerleast twelve?
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Nice one, Thanks Max Neva, good morning, Good morning. Monitoring
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: will show if new Protections and the Hardacre golf are
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: actually working.
• 22:18
  Speaker 14: Yes, correct, So what's happening is at the Department of
• 22:21
  Speaker 14: Conservations that's surveying a range of habitats inside and outside.
• 22:26
  Speaker 14: This is the twelve new high protection areas that were
• 22:29
  Speaker 14: introduced last year. So it aims to understand the ecological
• 22:33
  Speaker 14: trends and conditions more with the focus on the species
• 22:37
  Speaker 14: like lobster and reef fish. So Doc Marine scientist Emma Kearney,
• 22:41
  Speaker 14: she's saying, look, they want to know how effective these
• 22:44
  Speaker 14: protections are, especially in places like Goat Island, because everyone
• 22:48
  Speaker 14: goes to Goat Island, don't they do.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: You go, Yeah, I've been there before.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been there once.
• 22:52
  Speaker 14: It is there's always a lot of people the year. Anyway,
• 22:55
  Speaker 14: She's saying that they know all the pressures in the
• 22:57
  Speaker 14: marine environment can just help undertake the restoration. So that's
• 23:00
  Speaker 14: what they gathering information.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: And how is our weather?
• 23:03
  Speaker 8: Fine?
• 23:03
  Speaker 14: Fine, fine, I have seventeen no wind, no rain.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: But getting a little nippy, isn't it?
• 23:09
  Speaker 14: As you touch your nipples, Yes, a little nippy in
• 23:13
  Speaker 14: the morning.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Calling see that. Oh sorry, we don't need to tell
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: everybody everything. Oh I just sort of take a picture
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: some of the things you and I do in here.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Nobody needs to exactly.
• 23:24
  Speaker 14: I'm sorry, listeners, do you think I still have my job.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: After I WoT? Do you know what? I think You're
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: going to be? Just fine? Just fine. Never it is
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: eighteen away from six yer on news talks, there'd be
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: shijingping and Donald Trump meeting in Beijing. Trump has touched down.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: We will get to that in a couple of minutes. Also,
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: we're stateside with Mitch McCann six sixteen away from six
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: year on news talks. BG, you thought things get about
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: Argie Barjie in our parliament, well, spirit fought for the Philippines.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: The Senate. There were gunshots ringing out there. A senator
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: who's wanted by the ICC, the International Criminal Court, hunkering down.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: This is Ronald dela Rosa. He's accused of overseeing Dette.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: You know, the pre previous president his crackdown on drugs,
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: Rodrigo's crack down on drugs. He was overseeing it and
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: so they've gone in to round him up and get
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: him out.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Interestingly, Dette's daughter, Sarah Deturte, vice president, she was impeached
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: just in the last week. So there's a bit of
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: a battle over who's going to lead the country. But
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: not a great sign when you've got gunshots in your Senate.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: International correspondence with ends and eye insurance. Peace of mind
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: for New Zealand business.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: It is quarter to six, So a posse of tech
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: x execs going with Trump to Beijing. He's touched down
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: there and we're going to Mitch McCanny stateside for US
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: much Good morning, Yeah.
• 24:45
  Speaker 8: Good morning, Ryan.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: This is a big trip for Donald Trump.
• 24:47
  Speaker 8: It's interesting to note that a US president hasn't actually
• 24:50
  Speaker 8: met with China's leader since twenty seventeen, although Donald Trump
• 24:54
  Speaker 8: has met with President g around seven times. These meetings
• 24:57
  Speaker 8: are going to take place in the coming hours and
• 24:59
  Speaker 8: on Beijing time. They're going to focus on war trade
• 25:03
  Speaker 8: in ai Donald Trump says he wants it to focus
• 25:05
  Speaker 8: mostly on trade and he wants China buying more American goods.
• 25:09
  Speaker 8: But here's a couple of interesting points here, I think
• 25:11
  Speaker 8: behind the administration's talking points. One is what's Donald Trump
• 25:15
  Speaker 8: going to say about Taiwan. It's reported that China is
• 25:18
  Speaker 8: very unhappy that the US plans to sell weapons to Taiwan.
• 25:22
  Speaker 8: And another aspect is the war in Iran. It seemed
• 25:24
  Speaker 8: to be one of the top topics being discussed amid
• 25:26
  Speaker 8: allegations that China has been assisting Iran and its defense,
• 25:30
  Speaker 8: So lots to discuss when they meet. And also those
• 25:32
  Speaker 8: tech giants going with him as well, looking to do
• 25:34
  Speaker 8: some deals around critical minerals in the US.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: Also, the Golden Dome. This is Trump's missile defense system.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: Tell us what the cost blowout is at this point.
• 25:44
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's about seven times more than expected. This is
• 25:46
  Speaker 8: one of Donald Trump's I think you can call it, Ryan,
• 25:49
  Speaker 8: a legacy project that he wants to leave behind. It's
• 25:51
  Speaker 8: a Golden Dome, which is like a missile defense system
• 25:54
  Speaker 8: to protect the US, similar to what Israel has with
• 25:56
  Speaker 8: the Iron Dome, but Donald Trump's is a bit more fancy.
• 25:59
  Speaker 8: It's got weapons and censors in space. Donald Trump initially
• 26:03
  Speaker 8: thought this was going to cost one hundred and seventy
• 26:05
  Speaker 8: five billion. The figure that's been put out by the
• 26:09
  Speaker 8: US government in the last day or so is one
• 26:11
  Speaker 8: point two trillion dollars over the next twenty years. But
• 26:15
  Speaker 8: it's a legacy project, Ryan, so it's probably still likely
• 26:17
  Speaker 8: to go ahead.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that is much mccairn State signed for US this morning,
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: chairs Mitch, thirteen minutes away from six and on that,
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: let's go to Malcolm Nance, intelligence foreign policy analyst, former
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: United States Navy senior chief with US this morning. Malcolm,
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: good morning. This is the big meeting is under is
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: almost underway. I should say, we have the president arriving
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: in Beijing. Who has the upper hand here? Do you
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: think in these talks?
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: Well, unfortunately, China is playing the adult in the room. Now.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump has shown that he cannot maintain a stable
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: foreign policy or a policy platform that would allow you know,
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: the United States to take advantage of what every little
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: leverage that they've gotten out of the Iran War. And
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: Trump is confronted with having to do one of two
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: things today or during his visit. One beg China for
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: assistance in using maybe even their naval forces to come
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: and help work with the Iranians to open the Strait
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: of Horn Us. And there are other things that the
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: United States needs that China is now. Protectionist in Urrea, nitrate.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: China will not allow any fertilizers to be shipped out
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: of their country right now, and their national oil reserves
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: are almost you know, invoking jealousy within the United States.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: So we are sort of the United States are behind
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: the eight ball on being able to leverage this trip.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: That Chinese, on the other hand, will likely view it
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: as an opportunity to eat America's economic lunch.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Malcolm, what do you think he's going to say about
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Taiwan if anything?
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: Hmm, I really fear about that because Donald Trump a
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: transactional person. He does not believe in consistency of history, policy,
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: or continuity of what one president thinks, you know, is
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: right in terms of defending democracies or allies. Trump views
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: it as what he can get out of it. Personally.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: Is there a man that admires Gi for being a
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: life president. He admires Kim Jong un for being able
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: to do what he wants and have people, you know,
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: jump up and clap like a group of trained seals.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: So with regards to Taiwan, he'll probably view it as
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: a financial transaction. Taiwan creates microchips for the United States
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: and also buys US defensive weapons. It really is up in.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: The sounds like we've lost Malcolm there. That was Malcolm Nance,
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: intelligence foreign policy analyst and former United States Navy senior
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: chief with us this morning. Hey it is, and just
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: gone ten minutes away from six interesting numbers on tourism.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: And I didn't quite realize this though. It kind of
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: makes sense given our proximity to one another. But New
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: Zealand is the favorite travel destination for Australians and vice versa.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: So New Zealand is visiting Australia made up fourteen percent
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: of all the tourist arrivals in Australia. So we love them.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: But the good news is they love us right back.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: We're close. It makes sense. We go and eat in
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: Sydney at restaurants and then we go somebathe on the GC.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: These are all good things. And while we're on Trump,
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: just for a second, there were plans, you might remember,
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: plans for a big Trump tower in Queensland and they
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: have been scrapped and apparently the developer is saying two reasons.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: One the Iran War and price increases and cost of
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: development increases, and two Trump's toxic brand. So there you go.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: You won't be able to go to the GC as
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: much as we love visiting and stay in a Trump tower.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: It is nine away from six News Talks HEADB.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Here at first Ryan Bridge on early edition with Spark
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: for Business Technology that Keeps Business Moving, News Talks, HEEDB
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: News Talks HEB.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: It is seven minutes away from six. It's interesting. Well
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: I suppose it makes sense, doesn't it. But there is
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: a study out this morning from Imperial College in London,
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: and they reckon that in obesity rates in some countries,
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: I rich countries are leveling off or potentially even falling,
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: And they're sort of now doing another study into why
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: is it not obvious everyone's on the jab, everyone's getting
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: their ozempic and getting ozempic face in the process. It
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: is disc one six minutes two. Ryan Bridge, Good morning, mate, mate.
• 30:42
  Speaker 15: I reckon that's the story of our time. The jabs,
• 30:45
  Speaker 15: the glps, the way it's transforming the world. It will
• 30:48
  Speaker 15: transform the health systems. It's transforming the fashion industry. At
• 30:51
  Speaker 15: the moment, no one's making fourteens anymore because no one
• 30:54
  Speaker 15: wears fourteens anymore. Second hand clothing industry is festooned with
• 30:59
  Speaker 15: large clothes because first thing you do when you lose
• 31:00
  Speaker 15: a lot of wages you feel good. Of course, it
• 31:02
  Speaker 15: affects the alcohol industry because of course part of taking
• 31:06
  Speaker 15: it together a pill drink, you don't drink anymore.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: So isn't it I mean, is there something just quinite
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: perverse about this whole thing that is human beings. We
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: over indulge to the point where we become morbidly obese,
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: and the only way to stop that is to take
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: ye it.
• 31:20
  Speaker 15: Was always going to be the way. The moment you
• 31:21
  Speaker 15: can produce a pill, and that's the pill now as
• 31:24
  Speaker 15: opposed to the JAB. At the moment you can produce
• 31:26
  Speaker 15: a pill that solves your problem, you'll take it.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But isn't you know there's something fundamentally wrong with
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: with human beings that we just gorge until we kill ourselves.
• 31:35
  Speaker 15: Of course we do, but nevertheless it solves a problem.
• 31:38
  Speaker 15: So I think, I think once it goes through the
• 31:41
  Speaker 15: health system, which it hasn't yet, because of course, what
• 31:44
  Speaker 15: you'll see over many, many years is there will be
• 31:46
  Speaker 15: less cancer, there will be less diabetes, and all you
• 31:50
  Speaker 15: think about the savings. You think about the cost of
• 31:51
  Speaker 15: diabetes in this country, time dialysis and type two diabetes.
• 31:55
  Speaker 15: You think about the cost of that, and then you
• 31:56
  Speaker 15: start reducing that because you've glped everybody. That's where the
• 32:00
  Speaker 15: argument comes from. There should be because this is what Trump,
• 32:02
  Speaker 15: to his credit, has done. Those sort of pills and
• 32:05
  Speaker 15: potions in America are vastly cheaper than they are in
• 32:09
  Speaker 15: places like New Zealand. You know, there's non argument that
• 32:11
  Speaker 15: you should be able to go along and because of
• 32:13
  Speaker 15: the savings you'd make right ondred percent long too.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Have you ever struggled with your weight?
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: No?

  Speaker 2: Why, well what do you make?

  Speaker 2: No, you ever been a little bit big?
• 32:20
  Speaker 15: Let myself go. Let myself go in the one I
• 32:23
  Speaker 15: was in christ So I'm guessing what would it be
• 32:25
  Speaker 15: late eighties.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: Early ninety something like that. Nice, I think a photo size.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: Shut up.
• 32:31
  Speaker 15: Anyway, I came to I came to Auckland, and I thought,
• 32:34
  Speaker 15: what am I going to do to lose some weight?
• 32:35
  Speaker 15: I was at eighty one, so I'm at sixty five.
• 32:40
  Speaker 15: As you look at me, now pick you up with
• 32:41
  Speaker 15: my finger. Well you probably could, don't, please don't. So
• 32:44
  Speaker 15: I'm at sixty five. So I got to eighty one,
• 32:46
  Speaker 15: and I thought, what am I going to do?
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: So?
• 32:48
  Speaker 15: Because I used to be into sport a lot, and
• 32:50
  Speaker 15: so that's when I stopped sport. You got into the
• 32:52
  Speaker 15: I'm too busy working, so I packed it on. So
• 32:55
  Speaker 15: I got to eighty one. They thought what can I do?
• 32:57
  Speaker 15: So I decided I was going to take up tennis
• 32:58
  Speaker 15: because I used to play tennis. So went and got
• 33:00
  Speaker 15: myself a coach. And what I didn't realize was that
• 33:03
  Speaker 15: if you're you know, you can hit a ball. If
• 33:05
  Speaker 15: you rally with a coach for an hour, that's tremendous exercise.
• 33:08
  Speaker 15: And I lost eleven kilos in a month and a
• 33:12
  Speaker 15: month and a month I just didn't I did, so
• 33:14
  Speaker 15: it just fell off. It's eleven kilos in a month.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: I went down.
• 33:18
  Speaker 15: I went down to seventy.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: So you don't need a pel. You just need tennis.
• 33:21
  Speaker 15: Well, you need tennis or exercise, but you know if
• 33:23
  Speaker 15: a pill can do it.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: You know there is are you're talking to today.
