0:30
Speaker 2: do with Auckland's traffic. We'll tell you about that. Plus

Speaker 2: the run at straight game death and Trump says bad
0:36
Speaker 2: things would have happened to Putin if it wasn't for him.
0:42
Speaker 1: The agenda.
0:43
Speaker 2: Wednesday, the twenty eighth of May, the King's given a
0:46
Speaker 2: speech to Canada's Parliament.
0:48
Speaker 3: The Prime Minister and the President of the United States
0:51
Speaker 3: have begun defining a new economic and security relationship between
0:57
Speaker 3: Canada and the United States, rooted in neutral respect and
1:02
Speaker 3: founded on common interests to deliver transformational benefits for both
1:07
Speaker 3: sovereign nations.
1:09
Speaker 2: Now this Liverpool football parade drivers arrested on suspicion of
1:13
Speaker 2: attempted murder and suspicion of driving dangerously on drugs.
1:18
Speaker 4: We believe this to be an isolated incident and we
1:21
Speaker 4: are not currently looking for anyone else in relation to it.
1:26
Speaker 2: Fifty people fifty people went to hospital for treatment. Eleven
1:30
Speaker 2: are still there. This new aid distribution group that's backed
1:34
Speaker 2: by the US and Israel has begun working in Gaza.

Speaker 2: I'll tell you why they're controversial in a second. The
1:39
Speaker 2: Gaza Humanitarian Foundations say food has reached secure sites, distributions underway.
1:44
Speaker 5: The UN is quite skeptical of this new aid organization
1:48
Speaker 5: because of course forest displacement. If that is one of
1:51
Speaker 5: the results of the aid hubs, that's a war crime.

Speaker 2: two is the number to text. Would love to hear
2:10
Speaker 2: from you. Couple of numbers for you. This is a
2:12
Speaker 2: consumer confidence in the US bouncing back. I just love
2:16
Speaker 2: the fact that we've been through a very topsy turvy
2:20
Speaker 2: period and people are basically just shrugging their shoulders. So
2:22
Speaker 2: Consumer Confidence Index. This is from the Conference Boards May
2:26
Speaker 2: survey of consumers in the US Headline index jumped ninety
2:29
Speaker 2: ninety eight, up from eighty five points seven on a
2:32
Speaker 2: month earlier. This is the first increase, quite significant, first
2:35
Speaker 2: increase since November last year. The analyst that expected it
2:39
Speaker 2: to stay steady. It hasn't. It's gone up. The expectations
2:43
Speaker 2: index has also gone up. That is good news. It
2:45
Speaker 2: means that the consumer in the US, which is key
2:47
Speaker 2: to the global economy because that's the biggest country in
2:51
Speaker 2: the world. They buy lots of stuff the world seals
2:54
Speaker 2: and lots of stuff. They still feel good, so I
2:56
Speaker 2: still feel good. And China they don't care. They're just
3:00
Speaker 2: getting on with business. So the industrial companies reporting higher
3:03
Speaker 2: profits in April this was up industrial profit up three
3:06
Speaker 2: percent year on year. It was two point six percent
3:10
Speaker 2: year on year two March. And exports industry defiant strong,
3:16
Speaker 2: shaking off a trade war. Who here is We're not listening,
3:19
Speaker 2: which is all good news nine after five year on
3:22
Speaker 2: news talks there b we'll get to the port of Auckland.
3:24
Speaker 2: And also this run it straight death in Palmerston, North.
3:27
Speaker 2: What does it change?
3:30
Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth
3:32
Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof make
3:36
Speaker 1: your Property search simple.
3:38
Speaker 2: News talks b top of it morn in two year twelve,
3:41
Speaker 2: after five year on news talks there B. I am
3:44
Speaker 2: astonished by the number that the Port of Auckland, which
3:46
Speaker 2: is council owned by the way monopoly Port of Auckland,
3:49
Speaker 2: has put out to our poor truckies and by extension
3:53
Speaker 2: us the consumer, because we'll end up paying more. So
3:55
Speaker 2: the access fee to get into the port to go
3:58
Speaker 2: and drop your goods off, will pick them up from
4:00
Speaker 2: market is going up by seventy seven percent next year
4:05
Speaker 2: they did say thirty five percent. Oh they changed your mind,
4:09
Speaker 2: it's now seventy seven percent. It's insane. They were paying
4:13
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty bucks per visit for a truck
4:16
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five. The port originally suggested that go
4:19
Speaker 2: up to one hundred and seventy five dollars. It's now
4:21
Speaker 2: going to be two hundred and thirty dollars per truck
4:24
Speaker 2: all up. That is an increase of twenty five million
4:27
Speaker 2: dollars on the trucking industry. How do you justify that? Well,
4:31
Speaker 2: they have and I'll tell you how and why. When
4:34
Speaker 2: we speak to the truck he's next. It's twelve after five.
4:37
Speaker 2: Brian Bradley, and nineteen year old has died from head
4:40
Speaker 2: injuries after playing a run It Straight style game with
4:43
Speaker 2: his mates last week. Professor Petrie Hume warned at the
4:46
Speaker 2: risk to life letting these events continue, as she is
4:49
Speaker 2: with us this morning, Human Performance Professor at aut Petraer,
4:52
Speaker 2: Good morning, Patria. Can you hear me all right? Money
5:01
Speaker 2: to come back to Patria? I can't quite get her
5:02
Speaker 2: on the line MCNs. We will sort that out for us.
5:05
Speaker 2: A very very sad thing, indeed, very very sad for
5:08
Speaker 2: the family. And I can just imagine he went to
5:11
Speaker 2: a parmesanrth boys high. I think I can just imagine
5:13
Speaker 2: how the family is feeling. But I wonder what changes
5:17
Speaker 2: when there's a death. Ideally it'll put other kids off
5:21
Speaker 2: doing it. Right, I think we've got Patria back, Patria.
5:23
Speaker 2: Can you hear me?
5:24
Speaker 4: I can right?
5:25
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning. You predicted this last week. Sadly
5:29
Speaker 2: your predictions come true.
5:32
Speaker 4: Yes, Ryan's death was prevengable. It was a backyard copycat
5:35
Speaker 4: of the run at events which have been designed for
5:37
Speaker 4: social media impact. And you know, people need to understand
5:41
Speaker 4: the risks when two people are running at each other
5:43
Speaker 4: under this run at style. It's like the forces are jumping,
5:47
Speaker 4: like jumping off your house, you know, and landing flat
5:49
Speaker 4: on your front. That's the level of trauma. And so
5:52
Speaker 4: unfortunately Ryan has died. And I did warn about the
5:56
Speaker 4: impact forces and that this could happen.
5:58
Speaker 2: The thing is, these are young boys, right, and I've
6:02
Speaker 2: been a young boy before, and you do dumb stuff
6:05
Speaker 2: and sometimes you get really hurt. Do you How do
6:09
Speaker 2: you stop behavior like that because obviously they weren't listening
6:12
Speaker 2: to you.
6:14
Speaker 6: No unfortunate at the moment.
6:15
Speaker 4: And it's everyone to make their own decision about what
6:18
Speaker 4: activities they want to participation. So if you think about
6:21
Speaker 4: skydiving that has a fatality rate of one gest and
6:25
Speaker 4: one hundred thousand jumps, and paragliding you know, one death
6:28
Speaker 4: and eleven thousand flights. Rugby Union and League actually death
6:32
Speaker 4: rates are quite low, they're extremely rare, but we do
6:36
Speaker 4: have high injury rates. My concern is for these run
6:39
Speaker 4: it type events, we've already had one death so far
6:42
Speaker 4: with only just about a month of promotion of the activity.
6:46
Speaker 4: It's an extremely high risk activity. You're really rolling the
6:50
Speaker 4: dice with your life and with your risk of injury
6:54
Speaker 4: if you participate. People have said, oh, it's just like
6:57
Speaker 4: bull rush. It is not like bull rush. Bull rush
7:00
Speaker 4: you have someone who wants to tag and you're trying
7:03
Speaker 4: to evade them. In this case, you've got two people
7:06
Speaker 4: who are purposely running at each other with very high impact.
7:10
Speaker 4: There is a very high risk of injury.
7:12
Speaker 2: There's a lot of people saying, oh, the police should
7:14
Speaker 2: get more involved in stuff. I mean, what are they
7:16
Speaker 2: going to do?
7:17
Speaker 4: Well, can actually intervene, particularly with events, so under the
7:23
Speaker 4: Health and Safety at Work Adventure Activities Regulations twenty sixteen,
7:27
Speaker 4: I mean, organizers, they're legally required to ensure health and
7:31
Speaker 4: safety of participants, and as the public, we have a
7:34
Speaker 4: moral duty to be able to protect them.
7:37
Speaker 2: Couldn't you then ban a rugby game? I mean, if
7:41
Speaker 2: it's about the health and safety of participants and people
7:43
Speaker 2: break their necks in rugby, we shouldn't be having rugby games,
7:46
Speaker 2: you know what I mean.
7:47
Speaker 4: So if you think about rugby, it's got safety protocols
7:51
Speaker 4: and it's got very clear governed rules to minimize harm
7:56
Speaker 4: and protect athletes. You know, we've conducted over thirty years
8:00
Speaker 4: of research, including with World Rugby and New Zealand Rugby
8:03
Speaker 4: to try and reduce the risk of injury. And if
8:06
Speaker 4: you look over the years, there have been changes to
8:08
Speaker 4: the game to reduce injury risks. So doctor Ken Quarry,
8:12
Speaker 4: the senior scientist from New Zealand Rugby, with his PhD,
8:15
Speaker 4: he did studies to look at how you changed the
8:18
Speaker 4: scrum and the scrum was depowered and it reduced the
8:22
Speaker 4: incidence of neck injuries and severe spinal injuries. There's also
8:28
Speaker 4: been changes to the height of the tackle. I remember
8:31
Speaker 4: in twenty twelve I had a debate on TV with
8:34
Speaker 4: Wally Lewis about the shoulder charges and why they should
8:38
Speaker 4: be banned, and whially was completely against them being banned.
8:41
Speaker 4: They have been banned for many, many years for very
8:45
Speaker 4: good reason because they were inducing a lot of them jury.
8:48
Speaker 2: In patrial rules. Yes, those rules have changed, and some
8:51
Speaker 2: would argue they have made the game boring. And you
8:55
Speaker 2: get sports specifically like this popping up and you went
9:00
Speaker 2: nuts because it gives people the first that they crave
9:05
Speaker 2: for body combat.
9:09
Speaker 4: Yes, it's said of the said reality of human nature,
9:12
Speaker 4: I mean the mixed martial arts. The death rates has
9:15
Speaker 4: been twenty deaths recorded already in sanctioned events. So yes,
9:19
Speaker 4: that's human nature. It's like we have wars as well,
9:22
Speaker 4: but they are not desirable human attributes we should.
9:26
Speaker 2: Be don't exist, don't they?
9:28
Speaker 4: I mean public to come up with ideas. We need
9:31
Speaker 4: events that are going to be really intellectually stimulating, develop
9:35
Speaker 4: our minds and bodies that people really want to participate in,
9:38
Speaker 4: that are not going to kill people.
9:40
Speaker 2: All right, Trea, I really appreciate you coming on the program. Patrue,
9:42
Speaker 2: whom a human performance professor at aut time is eighteen
9:45
Speaker 2: after five Get to the ports next.
9:47
Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day earlier
9:51
Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and one Room, Make Your Property
9:54
Speaker 1: Surgeon Symbol News Talks.
9:57
Speaker 2: Nine nine two the number of six. We'll get to
9:59
Speaker 2: Westpac on the OCR full six. Auckland's Port is hiking
10:02
Speaker 2: its access fees once again. From next year, the cost
10:04
Speaker 2: will rise. It will increase seventy seven percent and twenty
10:09
Speaker 2: twenty two freight distributors would pay around eight bucks a vehicle.
10:12
Speaker 2: Next year, they'll be paying as much as two hundred
10:14
Speaker 2: and thirty dollars a vehicle just in Taijumba's National Road
10:17
Speaker 2: Carriers Association CEO with me this morning justin good.
10:20
Speaker 6: Morning, Good morning Ryan, thanks for having me on.
10:23
Speaker 2: They need to be profitable, that's their argument. They need
10:25
Speaker 2: to be profitable and they need to get trucks off
10:28
Speaker 2: the road during peak hours. Do you buy it.
10:31
Speaker 6: Yeah, Look, we accept that the port has to make
10:34
Speaker 6: a fear out of return for its owners or can council,
10:36
Speaker 6: and it hasn't been today. But that's why the port
10:40
Speaker 6: has gone and said its forecast charges as part of
10:43
Speaker 6: its commitment to return a dividen into the council under
10:47
Speaker 6: the ten year long term plan. And so last year
10:49
Speaker 6: the port said its pricing pathway, they put an access
10:53
Speaker 6: charge forecast go up wapping thirty seven percent, and the
10:57
Speaker 6: transport operators went happy with us, but they took breath
11:00
Speaker 6: and said about telling their customers the bad news, hearing
11:03
Speaker 6: billing system adjustments, you know, all of the admin work
11:06
Speaker 6: that goes and behind that. What's happened this week is
11:08
Speaker 6: the Porter's told them that thirty seven percent increases not enough.
11:12
Speaker 6: It's going to be double to seventy seven percent, as
11:14
Speaker 6: you say, And so transport operators absolutely fed up with
11:17
Speaker 6: the increases, the lack of certainty. You administered a burden
11:21
Speaker 6: and they're getting absolutely nothing back for this latest increase.
11:25
Speaker 6: There's no improvement to services or anything like that.
11:27
Speaker 2: And guess what you've got nowhere else to go?
11:31
Speaker 6: That's right? What is it? Is a monopoly?
11:35
Speaker 2: What's the reaction been from the retailers? And who's going
11:39
Speaker 2: to pay this cost? Because it's twenty five million bucks?
11:41
Speaker 2: You reckon?
11:43
Speaker 6: Yeah, Look, there's about ten thousand containers going through each week.
11:47
Speaker 6: That translates to just another twenty five million dollars taken
11:50
Speaker 6: out of the system effectively. And what this does is
11:53
Speaker 6: it hurts the exporters, manufacturers, importers, and ultimately it hits
11:58
Speaker 6: you and I in the pockets so as consumers. So
12:02
Speaker 6: you can think about the money go around. The port
12:04
Speaker 6: sets up its charge, it gets passed through to a
12:07
Speaker 6: transport operator, the then pass it through to freight border,
12:11
Speaker 6: to the cargo owner, to retailer, and then ultimately we
12:14
Speaker 6: pay for it. So yeah, there's a lot of frustration
12:18
Speaker 6: all the way through that system. And the real issue
12:21
Speaker 6: with this ryan is is that it's doing nothing to
12:23
Speaker 6: lift our productivity as a nation, and in fact, every
12:27
Speaker 6: dollar it goes on, these charges make our exports less competitive.
12:31
Speaker 2: They say, if you go off peak because they want
12:34
Speaker 2: to get cars off the road at at peak times.
12:36
Speaker 2: This is all can transport the owner, this is their goal.
12:39
Speaker 2: They say, if you go off peak, it's half priced.
12:42
Speaker 2: Why can't you do more journeys at nights and weekends.
12:46
Speaker 6: Yeah, Look in transport operators would love to operate more
12:50
Speaker 6: off peak, and it's easier time to operate. There's less traffic.
12:53
Speaker 6: Obviously it's more efficient. But there's actually a couple of
12:57
Speaker 6: key impediments to that happening. And one around the areas
13:01
Speaker 6: where all of these goods are being delivered, the distribution centers, etc.
13:05
Speaker 6: There are often covenants from the council about noise, so
13:08
Speaker 6: trucks noise abatement, so trucks can't drive down roads after
13:11
Speaker 6: particular hours at night. The other is actually we don't
13:15
Speaker 6: have the workforce set up. Walkland still a relatively small city.
13:19
Speaker 6: We're not big enough to move to a twenty four
13:21
Speaker 6: hour city model where you've got twenty four hour distribution
13:24
Speaker 6: centers running because we just simply don't have the workforce.
13:27
Speaker 6: We don't have enough people who are prepared to work
13:29
Speaker 6: those hours. So there's real structural limitations here. So getting
13:34
Speaker 6: up the price to get that shift is ultimately going
13:37
Speaker 6: to bang into those limitations.
13:39
Speaker 2: Justin appreciate your time. Justin timbers a, Chief executive, National
13:42
Speaker 2: Road Carriers Association. You're on News Talk CB. We'll get
13:45
Speaker 2: more on the run at straight death. This poor young
13:48
Speaker 2: guy in Palmerston North next Also just after we'll get
13:52
Speaker 2: to our reporter Rap and Gavin Graham the UK on
13:55
Speaker 2: this driver into the Liverpool football parade apparently had drugs
13:59
Speaker 2: in his them and there's facing charges.
14:02
Speaker 1: The early edition full the show podcast on iHeartRadio power
14:06
Speaker 1: by News.
14:06
Speaker 2: Talks at B five twenty six News Talks It Big.
14:09
Speaker 2: What happened in Palmeston North with this young man was
14:12
Speaker 2: obviously an absolute tragedy. We don't know exactly what happened.
14:15
Speaker 2: It was linked to another viral challenge. The sad reality
14:19
Speaker 2: is stuff like this will happen again and again and again,
14:24
Speaker 2: and the campaigners and the professionals will warn about the
14:27
Speaker 2: dangers and then kids will be kids, and another craze
14:29
Speaker 2: will come along and somebody else will get hurt or die.
14:33
Speaker 2: Ten years ago, remember the planking challenge.
14:36
Speaker 7: Planking turned deadly for one twenty year old Australian man
14:40
Speaker 7: as he fell to his death or early Sunday morning,
14:42
Speaker 7: trying to plank on a thin balcony railing seven stories high.
14:46
Speaker 7: This is the first known death as a result of planking,
14:49
Speaker 7: but with its rising appeal, police are worried more serious
14:52
Speaker 7: injuries will follow. The question is will this phenomenon catch
14:55
Speaker 7: on big here in the States.
14:57
Speaker 2: The next thing to come along with skin art, where
15:00
Speaker 2: young people paint sunscreen on some parts of their bodies
15:03
Speaker 2: and burn the rest in the sun.
15:05
Speaker 8: It only takes one bad sunburn before the age of
15:09
Speaker 8: eighteen to double your risk of melanoma, and if you
15:13
Speaker 8: have more than five sunburns over your lifetime, you have
15:16
Speaker 8: an eighty percent chance of getting a skin cancer.
15:18
Speaker 2: This American family lost their son to the infamous blackout challenge,
15:23
Speaker 2: where kids choke themselves all their friends for fun.
15:26
Speaker 6: Our soun teens was fourteen years old and passed away
15:30
Speaker 6: due to one of these social media challenges.
15:33
Speaker 9: Kent was a great kid.
15:34
Speaker 10: He had a lot going for him, many friends, very popular.
15:40
Speaker 10: His friends have been in shock like everybody else in
15:43
Speaker 10: our family.
15:44
Speaker 2: Since the beginning of time, teenagers, especially boys, have played bullrush,
15:48
Speaker 2: drink to excess, driven cars way too fast. Frontal lobes
15:53
Speaker 2: don't develop properly until the age of twenty five. That's
15:56
Speaker 2: when reason overtakes risk in the brain and your behavior changes.
16:01
Speaker 2: If you ask me honestly if society can ever prevent
16:04
Speaker 2: these tragedies from happening again, I would say, look at
16:07
Speaker 2: the numbers, look at the trends, and look at the
16:10
Speaker 2: social media algorithms. Of course we can't. But more than that,
16:15
Speaker 2: that overwhelming urge when you are young to experiment with danger,
16:20
Speaker 2: to push the boundaries in life, to just goof off
16:22
Speaker 2: with your mates, that urge has existed since the dawn
16:25
Speaker 2: of time and doesn't appear to be going anywhere in
16:28
Speaker 2: a hurry. All we can do, really is, individuals is
16:31
Speaker 2: offer our sincere condolences to this poor family and hope
16:35
Speaker 2: that others will learn a lesson from his death. Bridge
16:40
Speaker 2: it is twenty eight minutes after five. We're going to
16:43
Speaker 2: get to well, get some more out of King Charles.
16:46
Speaker 2: He didn't write the speech, of course, it was Carne
16:48
Speaker 2: that writes it, and he delivers it from the Canada's parliament.
16:51
Speaker 2: So we'll get more out of King Charles. We'll go
16:53
Speaker 2: to the UK find out more about the Liverpool parade driver.
16:56
Speaker 2: What exactly was he doing? Volvos cut a bunch of jobs,
17:00
Speaker 2: which I think is interesting because there is such ugly
17:02
Speaker 2: boxy cars. Just a personal preference thing. And we'll get
17:05
Speaker 2: to our reporters around the country too. News Talks MB.

17:54
Speaker 2: the OCR announcement today. What are we expecting? B n
17:57
Speaker 2: Z dropped their rates yesterday, So do we think the
17:59
Speaker 2: other big boys will follow suit boys girls? Whatever you
18:02
Speaker 2: should say these days big days, I don't know. Now
18:07
Speaker 2: Volvo or Before we get to Volvo, we were talking
18:09
Speaker 2: about support of Auckland, which is councilon. It's a monopoly
18:12
Speaker 2: and they're increasing their charges by seventy seven percent next
18:15
Speaker 2: year because two reasons. One they need to make a profit,
18:18
Speaker 2: which I think is fair enough. But second the council
18:21
Speaker 2: has told them get the trucks off the roads at
18:24
Speaker 2: peak hours there's too much traffic, so they've dropped the rate.
18:28
Speaker 2: The rate will be half off peak as what it
18:31
Speaker 2: is on peak. So that's what they're trying to do. Now.
18:34
Speaker 2: Part of the problem is when you know the trucks
18:36
Speaker 2: don't just appear in Auckland and then get to Port.
18:39
Speaker 2: They're going to drive up and down the country. And
18:41
Speaker 2: driving up and down this country, you will know those
18:43
Speaker 2: signs that say no engine breaking please. There are places
18:47
Speaker 2: where trucks aren't really welcome at nighttime because people are
18:50
Speaker 2: trying to sleep. So do we get rid of those rules?
18:52
Speaker 2: Do you live on a main road? How would you
18:54
Speaker 2: feel about getting rid of the engine breaking rules if
18:56
Speaker 2: it meant that the country could go fast, productivity could
18:58
Speaker 2: increase and you could do a bit all be it
19:00
Speaker 2: a sleepless night for this country's economic growth. It is
19:05
Speaker 2: twenty three minutes away from Sex and I screwed up
19:08
Speaker 2: in the wrong piece of paper, which means my reporter's
19:11
Speaker 2: one is here. Clum Proctor is into need in this morning. Clum,
19:14
Speaker 2: good morning morning. Right now you got the merger for
19:17
Speaker 2: the Big Council. Yeah, Look, there's.
19:20
Speaker 11: A growing support for this in South and the four
19:22
Speaker 11: existing councils. It's proposed is to merge them into two
19:27
Speaker 11: unitary authorities. South n Federated Farmers now the latest group
19:30
Speaker 11: to back this idea first suggested by the local mayor,
19:33
Speaker 11: Rob's Scott Environments South and announced its support last week.
19:37
Speaker 11: It's estimated that this proposal could save the region at
19:40
Speaker 11: least ten million dollars. The Federated Farmer's president, Jason Herricks
19:44
Speaker 11: is having these two unitary authorities would ensure that rural
19:46
Speaker 11: funding doesn't disappear completely into city priorities. And the Local
19:51
Speaker 11: Government Commission will decide next month whether it's to proceed
19:54
Speaker 11: with this investigation.
19:55
Speaker 2: Interesting Fred Farmers is on board. How's your weather.
19:59
Speaker 11: It's cloudy today. Not Eastlei's developing and thirteen.
20:01
Speaker 2: Nice one Cullum Clears and christ Church clear good morning,
20:04
Speaker 2: good morning. You're trying to get just every first place
20:07
Speaker 2: you can get out of the city now potentially going
20:10
Speaker 2: to be the loudest city.
20:11
Speaker 10: In New Zealand, much to some people's disgrace. Ryan, Yes, Look,
20:15
Speaker 10: christ Church City councilors have been discussing several options about
20:18
Speaker 10: potentially increasing the noise restriction in christ Church's central city.
20:23
Speaker 10: This has been ongoing for some years. Here, of course,
20:25
Speaker 10: we've got the likes of Takaha Stadium and a whole
20:28
Speaker 10: bunch of new hospitality precincts opening with that though, and
20:31
Speaker 10: post quake there's a lot of central housing options too.
20:35
Speaker 10: There's been years now of live music venues saying that
20:38
Speaker 10: you know, these restrictions are going to drive them out
20:41
Speaker 10: of business.
20:41
Speaker 9: They'll have to shut down.
20:43
Speaker 12: Residents.
20:43
Speaker 10: In twenty twenty three, though said that noise was the
20:46
Speaker 10: number one issue they had about living centrally. Now we've
20:50
Speaker 10: heard that the preferred option is to lift to the
20:52
Speaker 10: CBD to sixty five decibel LAEQ. Now that's a measure
20:57
Speaker 10: of continuous sound. The limit here has until now been
21:01
Speaker 10: sixty that's the same is what the unlimited restriction is
21:04
Speaker 10: for both Auckland and Wellington. So we want to go
21:06
Speaker 10: up to sixty five. The public, though, we'll get a
21:08
Speaker 10: say on this. Plans for public consultation will open in
21:11
Speaker 10: the next few weeks.
21:12
Speaker 2: Okay, can you discover us an idea of what sixty
21:14
Speaker 2: five might sound like?
21:15
Speaker 10: And I wouldn't want to put you through at.
21:17
Speaker 2: Ryan Truarly in the morning, how's my husband? How's your weather?
21:21
Speaker 10: Mostly cloudy rain in the evening, northeasterly is becoming strong
21:25
Speaker 10: and thirteen nice unclear.
21:26
Speaker 2: Thank you, Maxis and Wellington. Hey Max, good morning the
21:29
Speaker 2: Crown Observer. You've got new observations again. Leaked.
21:33
Speaker 13: Yeah, this is a leaked memo from Lindsay Mackenzie. He's
21:38
Speaker 13: been issuing a warning about party politics around the council
21:41
Speaker 13: table and Wellington. He's been observing issues regarding leadership obviously
21:46
Speaker 13: very low public trust at the moment. He warns that
21:49
Speaker 13: trust can be eroded when a counselor is perceived to
21:51
Speaker 13: be making decisions based on party policies rather than their
21:55
Speaker 13: electorate's best interests. Recent polling in the city found almost
22:00
Speaker 13: a third of us don't want party politics, sorry two
22:03
Speaker 13: thirds at a council level. A lot of berating in
22:06
Speaker 13: this city in the past year year and a half,
22:08
Speaker 13: as well as when certain councilors don't vote the way
22:11
Speaker 13: their colleagues want them to. The failed airport shares sale
22:14
Speaker 13: created a lot of bad blood. For instance, too much pillarying.
22:18
Speaker 13: That's a word used by Mackenzie. I'm struggling to say it.
22:20
Speaker 13: Pillarying for the way counselors are voting from their colleagues.
22:24
Speaker 2: One more time, Max, Oh God, pillarying. Now that it's
22:30
Speaker 2: weird to say, how's your weather?
22:33
Speaker 13: Mostly overcast, a little rain this afternoon, strong winds as well.
22:36
Speaker 2: Nice Ron, Hey, thanks Max and Ney of us an Orkneva.
22:39
Speaker 2: Good morning.
22:39
Speaker 9: Good diction there from Max Pillory.
22:42
Speaker 2: Pillarying, pillarying. Yeah it is hard, hey wyuku. Yes, they
22:47
Speaker 2: raised crossings. They're raising some eyebrows.
22:49
Speaker 9: Correct, So Franklin Local Board member Garry Holmes, he's claiming
22:53
Speaker 9: that this Queen Street crossing is going to cost four
22:56
Speaker 9: hundred thousand dollars, and he's also saying that the installation
22:59
Speaker 9: will close the road for nearly thirty days. Homes are saying, look,
23:02
Speaker 9: there are other options. There's the rubber options that could
23:06
Speaker 9: be installed, which would be cheaper and quicker. We've gone
23:09
Speaker 9: to at and at SIS. It's project teams going to
23:11
Speaker 9: work through concerns and also the possible solutions with the
23:14
Speaker 9: Franklin Local Board. And this will happen in a workshop
23:17
Speaker 9: apparently before it progresses any further.
23:19
Speaker 2: All right, well that's good. They drive me insane. I
23:22
Speaker 2: was actually they're building one around my house at the moment,
23:25
Speaker 2: and I'm stuck in traffic waiting for it to be built.
23:28
Speaker 2: And then you know, once it's built, you're going to
23:30
Speaker 2: have more traffic. And I was just daydreaming about putting
23:34
Speaker 2: a beanie on and putting a face mask on in
23:37
Speaker 2: the nighttime and doing something with a bulldozer or a jigger.
23:41
Speaker 9: Was you know, it's so tempting to do something like that.
23:45
Speaker 2: Wouldn't you like to do that? A bit of vigilant.
23:47
Speaker 9: And usually when they say it's going to be finished
23:50
Speaker 9: and blah blah blah time it'll be constructed, Well that's
23:52
Speaker 9: a big fat lie because then it takes another it's
23:54
Speaker 9: always delayed.
23:55
Speaker 2: Where's my wrecking ball?
23:56
Speaker 13: Yeah, well, you know, in a.
23:58
Speaker 9: Way, Thank goodness, you get up early in the morning,
24:00
Speaker 9: and you could do things like that.
24:01
Speaker 2: Actually, we imagine the little spree we could go.
24:05
Speaker 9: I could join you. I will join you do that
24:08
Speaker 9: instead of coming to work.
24:09
Speaker 2: We shouldn't obviously, of course we shouldn't know, et cetera.
24:13
Speaker 2: How's the weather, Well, not a.
24:14
Speaker 9: Good day to do things like that. It's cloudy and
24:17
Speaker 9: there could be some showers later rain in the afternoon.
24:19
Speaker 9: Nineteen is the high in Auckland.
24:21
Speaker 2: And never I forgot to tell you, but we get
24:23
Speaker 2: so many you know, this herald show that we're doing
24:25
Speaker 2: in the morning, oh years, and you read the news,
24:27
Speaker 2: and you're on camera reading the news, and I always say, oh,
24:30
Speaker 2: you know the voice, but have you seen how hot
24:32
Speaker 2: she is?
24:33
Speaker 9: Oh ah, cheeky monkey.
24:36
Speaker 2: So many Neva love hearing because it is.
24:40
Speaker 9: A radio bullet, you know. So sometimes I'm just sitting there.
24:43
Speaker 9: You I don't move a lot. I've heard I'm motionless.
24:46
Speaker 2: But that's what you're reading this, That's what I do.
24:48
Speaker 2: You doing your job?
24:48
Speaker 9: Should I Should I wave my arms around today? Okay?
24:52
Speaker 2: Well you do just randomly?
24:56
Speaker 9: Ah?
24:57
Speaker 2: Hey, thanks, Neva, you're doing great job. Seventeen away from
25:00
Speaker 2: sex news talks, you'd.
25:00
Speaker 1: Be international correspondence with ins andn Eye Insurance peace of
25:05
Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business.
25:07
Speaker 2: It has just gotten fourteen away from six Kevin Gray
25:10
Speaker 2: are UK europe correspondent given good morning to you. Uncomfortable
25:13
Speaker 2: questions for the police after how on earth when you
25:16
Speaker 2: know there's going to be a big parade like this,
25:18
Speaker 2: How on earth a car gets through a crowd of people?
25:21
Speaker 14: Yeah, we've had an update on a second press conference
25:25
Speaker 14: there Ryan about of course, those who are out on
25:28
Speaker 14: the streets of Liverpool in Northwest England celebrating Liverpool Football
25:32
Speaker 14: Club's Premiership title and as you said, car managed to
25:36
Speaker 14: get right into the city center in an area that
25:38
Speaker 14: was closed off to vehicles. Well, today, at this second
25:42
Speaker 14: press conference, we've had an update on the number of
25:44
Speaker 14: people who went to hospital. That was twenty seven yesterday.
25:48
Speaker 14: Now it's said fifty people were treated at hospitals. Eleven
25:52
Speaker 14: remain in hospital but are in a stable condition and recovering. Well,
25:56
Speaker 14: I guess those are probably people that walked in as
25:58
Speaker 14: well as we're taken by ambulance. Anyway, we're also being
26:02
Speaker 14: told that a suspect is from the West Derby area
26:06
Speaker 14: of Liverpool and has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder,
26:10
Speaker 14: dangerous driving offenses and driving while unfit through drugs. He's
26:14
Speaker 14: a fifty three year old British ban who was believed
26:17
Speaker 14: to be local. Now about that car getting into this area, well,
26:22
Speaker 14: we were told that there was quote a robust traffic
26:24
Speaker 14: management plan in place, So how did the car get in. Well,
26:28
Speaker 14: they're working on the theory that the driver of the
26:31
Speaker 14: Ford Galaxy car that crashed into so many people was
26:35
Speaker 14: able to follow an ambulance that had gone to the
26:39
Speaker 14: area to treat somebody with a suspected heart attack and
26:43
Speaker 14: the roadblock was temporarily lifted and the driver of the
26:47
Speaker 14: Ford Galaxy apparently followed them through.
26:50
Speaker 2: Goodness, mate, that makes you sick, doesn't it.
26:52
Speaker 7: Now?
26:52
Speaker 2: KFC has announced planes to create seven thousand new jobs
26:56
Speaker 2: across the UK. What's with that?
26:59
Speaker 14: Yeah, well it's inter and out burga day today actually
27:01
Speaker 14: for you guys, twenty eighth of May. But Kentucky Fried
27:05
Speaker 14: Chicken is certainly making all the headlines here in the
27:08
Speaker 14: UK with a creation of seven thousand new jobs and
27:12
Speaker 14: a one point five billion pounds so about three point
27:15
Speaker 14: three billion New Zealand dollar investment over five years in
27:19
Speaker 14: UK and Ireland. It's getting a very competitive market, the
27:23
Speaker 14: chicken market because there's new kids on the block, Popeyes,
27:28
Speaker 14: famed for catering for the singer Beyonce and rapper Jay
27:31
Speaker 14: Z's wedding in two thousand and nine and others as
27:35
Speaker 14: well coming into this fast food particular outlet in the UK.
27:40
Speaker 14: It's a massive, massive market, with UK spending almost six
27:44
Speaker 14: billion New Zealand dollars on fried chicken from fast food
27:47
Speaker 14: shops in the year to the twentieth of April. It's
27:50
Speaker 14: big business and that's why Kentucky Fried chicken looking at
27:54
Speaker 14: more sites and more people being employed, asked whether there
27:59
Speaker 14: were those people ready to fill the vacancies. Absolutely, and
28:03
Speaker 14: indeed there are a number of people here in the UK,
28:06
Speaker 14: not in education or training or studying, who could certainly
28:10
Speaker 14: fit the bill.
28:12
Speaker 2: I see you've had an upgrade from the IMF on
28:14
Speaker 2: your growth forecast too, so that a little plan to
28:16
Speaker 2: it too, no doubt, Gavin, Thank you for that. Gavin
28:18
Speaker 2: Gray are UK Europe, corresponding eleven minutes away from five o'clock,
28:21
Speaker 2: Brandge six o'clock. Excuse me now, it's o our day today.
28:26
Speaker 2: That's why I'm all excited and all over the place.
28:27
Speaker 2: Where are those numbers going to go? Twenty five basis
28:30
Speaker 2: point cut is on the cards? That would take us
28:31
Speaker 2: to three point twenty five percent? Westpac chief economist, Kelly,
28:34
Speaker 2: you're cold with me, Kelley, Good morning, Good morning. Hey.
28:38
Speaker 2: They're going to go down, aren't they? How low will
28:40
Speaker 2: they go? Though? That's the question, isn't it?
28:42
Speaker 15: Well? Today I think we get the twenty five point
28:45
Speaker 15: cut from universally expected and had been pretty well signaled previously.
28:51
Speaker 15: After that, though, I think there's quite a bit more debate,
28:55
Speaker 15: quite a lot of the data that's come out last
28:57
Speaker 15: few months hasn't really surprised negatively, the Reserve Bank very much.
29:01
Speaker 15: It really depends a lot on how much weight they
29:04
Speaker 15: put on that international outlook.
29:06
Speaker 2: That's the big question here, isn't it. Because your non
29:08
Speaker 2: tradable inflation is coming down, You've got CPI within band,
29:13
Speaker 2: so you know, and to what extent because below three
29:18
Speaker 2: percent you're starting to get expansionary, Right, to what extent
29:21
Speaker 2: is the Reserve Bank meant to just keep cranking growth?
29:26
Speaker 15: Well, they're it's not on the mandate at all, right,
29:28
Speaker 15: it's all been changed to be solely focused on inflation.
29:32
Speaker 15: And I think the problem they've got here is in
29:35
Speaker 15: the short term, like if you look at inflation forecast
29:37
Speaker 15: for the next year, inflation's actually nudging three percent again,
29:41
Speaker 15: So when you're seeing that sort of profile, you wouldn't
29:44
Speaker 15: normally expect them.
29:45
Speaker 4: To cut rates very far.
29:46
Speaker 15: So hence you know, we've got a forecast suggest that
29:49
Speaker 15: they'll get down to about three percent and finish the year.
29:53
Speaker 15: But after that, if you look through its next year,
29:55
Speaker 15: if this global environment looks really weak, then inflation could
29:59
Speaker 15: fall back quite rapidly. So hence you've got some commentators
30:02
Speaker 15: talking about maybe rates getting to two and a half
30:05
Speaker 15: a cent.
30:06
Speaker 2: Then you're into real guessing work, though, aren't you.
30:09
Speaker 15: Well, we're always in the guessing stage now, and we've
30:12
Speaker 15: got to remember that this easing cycle was very well advanced.
30:15
Speaker 15: You know, we've had two hundred points of easing. We'll
30:18
Speaker 15: be getting up towards two hundred and twenty five, maybe
30:20
Speaker 15: even a bit more as you go through the next
30:23
Speaker 15: few months. I think it's fair to say it's not
30:25
Speaker 15: just simply a case of closing your eyes and picking
30:28
Speaker 15: a rate cat. You're going to have to start thinking
30:30
Speaker 15: about pauses, and at some stage it will stop.
30:34
Speaker 2: So what do we do right now if we're waiting
30:37
Speaker 2: for the bottom.
30:39
Speaker 15: Well, for borrowers, I mean basically, what usually happens is
30:43
Speaker 15: people go back to picking the lowest rate on the curve,
30:46
Speaker 15: don't they. So all the mortgage rates have adjusted down
30:48
Speaker 15: quite considerably. You know, usually at this stage that's when
30:52
Speaker 15: people start moving sort of out of the very short
30:55
Speaker 15: rates into something a bit longer, so that they can
30:57
Speaker 15: lock in current rates for a while. I think there's
31:00
Speaker 15: any prospect of rate hikes coming into the calculations for
31:04
Speaker 15: quite some time. But you know, the idea, for example,
31:08
Speaker 15: that the mulgat rates go down into the very low
31:11
Speaker 15: force or into the three starts to look a little
31:14
Speaker 15: bit speakilative thing and least something really bad happens.
31:18
Speaker 2: Which, as we have learned from history and even recent history,
31:22
Speaker 2: can happen. Kelly, appreciate your time this morning, Kelly E.
31:25
Speaker 2: Cold westpactive economist with US News Talks. He'd be eight
31:28
Speaker 2: to six.
31:30
Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early Edition with
31:34
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and one roof Make Your Property Search Simple
31:39
Speaker 1: Youth Talks.
31:39
Speaker 2: That'd be the carmakers having a tough time of it.
31:42
Speaker 2: Volvo has cut around three thousand jobs that announced yesterday
31:46
Speaker 2: as Sweden based, but it's Chinese owned the mainly office positions.
31:50
Speaker 2: Fifteen percent of their white collar workforce will be gone.
31:52
Speaker 2: Problems the tariffs, the higher cost of materials, and the
31:56
Speaker 2: slowest sales. Global sales to April were down eleven sent
32:00
Speaker 2: compared to the same time last year. Apparently nothing can
32:04
Speaker 2: do with the fact that the cars aren't that pretty.
32:06
Speaker 2: Five to six, Crying Bridge Morning, Mike, Greetings to you.
32:11
Speaker 12: Tesla sales are down forty nine percent in Europe and
32:16
Speaker 12: byd are having to discount, but nevertheless are now beating
32:19
Speaker 12: Tesla over a very short period of time.
32:21
Speaker 2: They're getting big subsidies, aren't they.
32:24
Speaker 12: It's a funny thing, isn't it That It was what's
32:27
Speaker 12: his name's offsider, Buffett's offsider who got into BYD very
32:31
Speaker 12: early on, and he said, what the Chinese have done
32:34
Speaker 12: with the car market compared with Tesla is astonishing. They've
32:38
Speaker 12: done it and comparatively speaking, five and a half minutes,
32:40
Speaker 12: which took Tesla for decades to come to a conclusion.
32:43
Speaker 12: And suddenly they're in the market dominating.
32:44
Speaker 2: And there's more of them, there's a bigger range, they
32:46
Speaker 2: look better.
32:47
Speaker 12: Do you know the problem's going to be And I've
32:49
Speaker 12: said this many times before, So there are so many
32:51
Speaker 12: there's one hundred manufacturers in China of well known manufacturers
32:56
Speaker 12: of BB's one hundred. So you name me ninety seven
32:59
Speaker 12: of them you can't. Of course, you can name me
33:00
Speaker 12: B y D and maybe you can do Gely, maybe
33:03
Speaker 12: you can do MG. That's them, right. So you're going
33:05
Speaker 12: to go into France and you're going to buy your
33:07
Speaker 12: new Chinese EP and a week and a half lay
33:10
