0:06
Speaker 1: early edition with one roof make your Property search simple
0:11
Speaker 1: news talks.
0:11
Speaker 2: It'd be is according to you, Robin to the program.
0:14
Speaker 2: Ryan's back on Tuesday. Thank you for choosing us. In
0:19
Speaker 2: the next sixty minutes, Well, it's the Reserve Bank stay
0:21
Speaker 2: today and what a week to be center stage. What
0:23
Speaker 2: will happen to our interest rates in this rapidly changing world.
0:26
Speaker 2: We'll have that story for you in five now. The
0:29
Speaker 2: first Australian election debate happened last night. We're getting a
0:31
Speaker 2: correspondent up very early in Australia to tell us how
0:34
Speaker 2: it went and who won. I'll talk about the big
0:36
Speaker 2: challenge for arang and Tamariki to keep our kids safe.
0:39
Speaker 2: And a new ministerial report shows that organized crime has
0:42
Speaker 2: exploded in New Zealand over the past five years. So
0:45
Speaker 2: what are we going to do about it? Associate Minister
0:48
Speaker 2: of Police Casey Cassella just before six this plas Gavin
0:51
Speaker 2: Gray from the UK. Correspondents from right around New Zealand
0:54
Speaker 2: and news as it breaks and you can have your
0:55
Speaker 2: say by using the text machine and the number is
0:58
Speaker 2: ninety two ninety two and a small duplies. It is
1:01
Speaker 2: seven alf to five.
1:03
Speaker 1: The agenda.
1:04
Speaker 2: It is Wednesday, the ninth of April. First and update
1:08
Speaker 2: on the markets. The US stocks and European and Asian
1:10
Speaker 2: markets have all seemed to have stabilized, but the fight's
1:13
Speaker 2: not over for China. Why House Secretary Treasury Secretary Scott
1:17
Speaker 2: percent has called Beijing's response to US tariff's a very
1:21
Speaker 2: big mistake. Trump has threatened to hit Beijing with an
1:24
Speaker 2: extra fifty percent tariff if it doesn't withdraw it's thirty
1:28
Speaker 2: four percent retaliatory levy by the end of today.
1:31
Speaker 3: I think it's fair to say that Trump threw that
1:33
Speaker 3: coved war before China even had a chance to So
1:37
Speaker 3: I think it's quite clear that China wants to put
1:41
Speaker 3: some opportunity cost against the Trump administration. But at the
1:44
Speaker 3: same time, these tariffs are not really a problem for China.
1:48
Speaker 3: So this could very much well be just a little
1:51
Speaker 3: bit of kabooki dancing before we are having real negotiations starting.
1:55
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, New Zealand rebounded yesterday. There's a bit of a
1:58
Speaker 2: hope around the place that we will not be hit
2:00
Speaker 2: as hard as others in this new age, and that's
2:02
Speaker 2: a good thing. Now to the UK, where Prince Harry
2:05
Speaker 2: has been in a UK Court of Appeal making his
2:07
Speaker 2: latest legal challenge. This after the High Court upheld the
2:10
Speaker 2: decision that he should not be provided with the same
2:13
Speaker 2: level of police protection given to working members of the
2:17
Speaker 2: royal family. Now, the Duke of Sussex's security in the
2:20
Speaker 2: UK is currently decided on a case by case basis,
2:23
Speaker 2: the same way as the country's other high profile visitors,
2:26
Speaker 2: and his barrister, Shahid Fatimah KC told the court that
2:30
Speaker 2: Prince Harry had been subject to a different and so
2:34
Speaker 2: called bespoke process in that original decision.
2:37
Speaker 4: While it is right to acknowledge that Ravak has expertise
2:42
Speaker 4: in relation to matters of protective security, the nature of
2:46
Speaker 4: the issues raised by this case do not require the
2:50
Speaker 4: court to defer to Rabak. The judge wrongly deferred to Rabak.
2:58
Speaker 2: And finally, what can't science do? A baby girl has
3:01
Speaker 2: been the first child in the UK to be born
3:03
Speaker 2: to a mother using a donated womb. The baby's mum,
3:07
Speaker 2: Grace Davidson, was born without a functioning uterus, and she
3:10
Speaker 2: received her sister's womb in twenty twenty three in what
3:14
Speaker 2: was then the UK's only successful womb transplant, and two
3:17
Speaker 2: years after that pioneering operation, Grace gave birth to her
3:21
Speaker 2: first child in February.
3:23
Speaker 5: Oh, she's a little miracle.
3:26
Speaker 4: We'd never really love ourselves imagine what it'd be like
3:29
Speaker 4: for her to be here until we sort of saw
3:32
Speaker 4: her come up over the dreeps.
3:33
Speaker 2: So it was really wonderful. Congratulations mum. It's ten Out
3:37
Speaker 2: to five.
3:39
Speaker 1: News and Views you Trust to start your day. It's
3:42
Speaker 1: early edition with Andrew Dickens and one roof Make Your
3:46
Speaker 1: Property Search Simple, Youth Talks.
3:49
Speaker 6: It'd be so.
3:50
Speaker 2: We like to think we're the nice guys of the world.
3:52
Speaker 2: Visitors come to New Zealand and remark on just how
3:54
Speaker 2: nice we are, how the cops have no guns, and
3:57
Speaker 2: how we're a reminder of how the world used to
3:59
Speaker 2: be before anger, division and disrespect for rules and people
4:02
Speaker 2: took over. We're a lovely place with nice people. But
4:05
Speaker 2: now the Speaker of the House is talking up legislation
4:08
Speaker 2: to provide more protection for our elected representatives. And this
4:13
Speaker 2: comes this week after Shane Jones's wife was hassled and
4:16
Speaker 2: allegedly assaulted just because he's married to Shane. Meanwhile, Awkins
4:20
Speaker 2: mayor Wayne Brown. He lives in a street right opposite
4:23
Speaker 2: my brother, and my brother is absolutely gobsmacked at the
4:26
Speaker 2: increased security on the street. And that has come after
4:28
Speaker 2: death threats to the mayor, and they increased after the
4:31
Speaker 2: mayor gave the death knock to the Western Spring Speedway. Obviously,
4:35
Speaker 2: there's a lot of very angry New Zealanders and faced
4:38
Speaker 2: with challenging policies, they respond with threats of physical violence.
4:42
Speaker 2: It's not nice. So far, they've really succeeded, though James
4:47
Speaker 2: Shaw earned a decent black eye for standing up for
4:49
Speaker 2: what he believed in back in the day. But you
4:51
Speaker 2: have to say, it's only a matter of time, and
4:53
Speaker 2: it is only a matter of time until someone does
4:55
Speaker 2: something stupid and someone is hurt and all they're trying
4:59
Speaker 2: to do is help us out. But what does this
5:01
Speaker 2: also do to the numbers of people who might put
5:03
Speaker 2: their hand up for public office but then think twice
5:06
Speaker 2: when they realize the danger it poses. And I know
5:09
Speaker 2: that me railing on about how terrible this is will
5:12
Speaker 2: make no difference whatsoever. But if we don't say something,
5:15
Speaker 2: the bullies will win. We're better than this, So before
5:20
Speaker 2: you decide to go nuclear against someone you don't agree with,
5:23
Speaker 2: particularly me. Have a hymn dickens I see that David
5:28
Speaker 2: Parker is to quit politics. The former Labor Minister was
5:30
Speaker 2: the backbone of the party. He's been the Attorney General.
5:33
Speaker 2: His portfolios have included trade, revenue, economic development, climate change, energy.
5:38
Speaker 2: I don't like everything. He's an old pro He's also
5:41
Speaker 2: been the chief proponent for tax changes that would affect
5:44
Speaker 2: the wealthy. At the last election, he was the main
5:47
Speaker 2: cheerleader for the capital gains tax. He pushed for it
5:49
Speaker 2: under Arden durn should I say, and he pushed for
5:53
Speaker 2: it under Hipkins, but Chris blew it up in what
5:56
Speaker 2: was called the Bonfire of the Policies because Turkeys don't
5:59
Speaker 2: vote for Cris and anyone who's worked hard and attained
6:03
Speaker 2: a capital asset that appreciates hates it. And they're not
6:07
Speaker 2: going to vote for a capital gains tax, no matter
6:09
Speaker 2: how much economic sense it might make. And that's not
6:12
Speaker 2: because they are rich pricks. That's because they've watched previous
6:15
Speaker 2: generations earn capital gains without penalty, So why should they so?
6:20
Speaker 2: With David Parker gone, who will fight for the rebalancing
6:23
Speaker 2: of our system that currently sees a lot of money
6:26
Speaker 2: made with no contribution towards the running of the country.
6:28
Speaker 2: And the answer to that question is nobody. Labor has
6:33
Speaker 2: just lost one of the last links to their old
6:36
Speaker 2: selves and so far they haven't found a new vision
6:39
Speaker 2: to subscribe to. And with David Parker gone, the question
6:42
Speaker 2: remains louder than ever, what do labor actually stand for?
6:47
Speaker 2: Andrew Dickens, Oh, see our day today? What a day.
6:51
Speaker 2: I would say that things over the last week have
6:53
Speaker 2: changed the view of the new Reserve Bank Governor, Christian Hawksby,
6:57
Speaker 2: who by the way, has got the job for another
6:59
Speaker 2: six month. So what do the experts reckon? We'll go
7:02
Speaker 2: to an expert from Jarden's in just a few moments time.
7:05
Speaker 2: News Talks Here, b it's five fourteen.
7:09
Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth
7:11
Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Andrew Dickens and one roof make
7:15
Speaker 1: your Property search simple News Talk.
7:18
Speaker 2: Said, be it's sixteen after five. We're going to talk
7:20
Speaker 2: about a rang and Tomariki and Karen Shure in just
7:22
Speaker 2: a few moments time. But today is ocr day and
7:26
Speaker 2: this is where they decide the interest rates. Most economists reckon,
7:29
Speaker 2: We're going to see a twenty five basis point cut,
7:32
Speaker 2: and the Februy update from the Reserve Bank suggests that
7:34
Speaker 2: that could be likely. But you know, things have changed.
7:36
Speaker 2: Tarif's been thrown in every direction globally. It's a little
7:39
Speaker 2: uncerting right now. What would the bank do? So I've
7:42
Speaker 2: got investment strategists and economists at Jarden John Karen up
7:46
Speaker 2: early to talk to me.
7:47
Speaker 7: How John, Yeah, good morning, Andrew.
7:49
Speaker 2: What are you picking?
7:51
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm picking a twenty five based point cut. I
7:55
Speaker 7: think the strong indicator that's what they'll do. Obviously, there's
7:59
Speaker 7: been a lot of turmoil and uncertainty your markets with
8:03
Speaker 7: Trump's tariffs, but I think it's too early for the
8:08
Speaker 7: Reserve Bank to panic and do anything more than twenty
8:12
Speaker 7: five based points at this point.
8:14
Speaker 2: Do you reckon the tariffs are inflation really globally? And
8:17
Speaker 2: of course the weapon against inflation is to keep the
8:19
Speaker 2: interest rates a little high. Do you think that the
8:21
Speaker 2: tariffs are inflationary?
8:24
Speaker 7: Look, it's very hard to tell. I mean, there's so
8:27
Speaker 7: many things that could determine the impact on inflation. So
8:34
Speaker 7: I think certainly it could be inflationary in the United States,
8:38
Speaker 7: where the primary impact is. But here in New Zealand.
8:43
Speaker 7: We're not putting tariffs on US goods. It's not entirely
8:49
Speaker 7: certain what that impact will be, so I think we
8:52
Speaker 7: have to wait for the evidence in the full nature
8:54
Speaker 7: of the tariffs to make that call.
8:57
Speaker 2: That's all very logical, but of course he don't live
9:00
Speaker 2: logical age. What do you think? What do you think
9:03
Speaker 2: the Reserve Bank might say about the economy in general?
9:07
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think they will note that the US, the
9:11
Speaker 7: New Zealand economy has shown signs of that it's sort
9:15
Speaker 7: of turning point. There have been some more positive signs
9:18
Speaker 7: in the New Zealand economy recently, so they will be
9:23
Speaker 7: cautiously optimistic, I think, And I think they will indicate
9:28
Speaker 7: that they still see inflation pressures under control at this point,
9:32
Speaker 7: but you know they will sound a note of caution,
9:36
Speaker 7: particularly about the effect of those tariffs on global economic
9:41
Speaker 7: growth and the impact on New Zealand exports.
9:43
Speaker 2: I'll take cautiously optimistic every day, John, John Karen from
9:47
Speaker 2: Jardin's and I thank you for your time. It is
9:50
Speaker 2: eighteen minutes out to five. The Australian election campaign is
9:52
Speaker 2: in its second week. The two leaders faced off last
9:54
Speaker 2: night in a debate in front of an audience of
9:57
Speaker 2: allegedly singing voters. Yeah, Peter Dutton described as the ex
10:01
Speaker 2: cop who brought Australia's opposition back from the brink, and
10:05
Speaker 2: of course the Prime Minister Anthony Albernizi, who's described as
10:08
Speaker 2: the working class hero who fell out of favor. So
10:11
Speaker 2: what happened that story? Next on Newstalk Zibby.
10:15
Speaker 1: The First Word on the News of the Day Early
10:18
Speaker 1: Edition with Andrew Dickens and One Room to Make Your
10:21
Speaker 1: Property Surgeon Symbol News Talk Zibby.
10:25
Speaker 2: It's coming up five to twenty one on a Wednesday morning.
10:27
Speaker 2: Australian Prime Minister Anthony Alberizi and his election rival Peter
10:32
Speaker 2: Dutton faced off last night in their first debate before
10:35
Speaker 2: the federal election, which is to happen on the third
10:37
Speaker 2: of May.
10:38
Speaker 8: The world has shrown a lot of challenges to Australia
10:41
Speaker 8: in the last few years and we've responded the Australian way.
10:44
Speaker 8: What this selection is about, though.
10:46
Speaker 9: Is what happens next.
10:47
Speaker 10: People have seen the government make mistakes priorities, but just
10:51
Speaker 10: having accorded with your own priorities.
10:53
Speaker 2: Okay, So cost of living issues dominated the debate, but
10:56
Speaker 2: there were some good one liners on energy.
10:58
Speaker 8: The only dash Poul said that the coalition have as
11:01
Speaker 8: the gas lighting of the Australian public.
11:04
Speaker 2: And they were asked about US President Donald Trump's tariffs.
11:07
Speaker 8: When you impost tariffs, it's attacks on the country that
11:11
Speaker 8: is imposing it.
11:11
Speaker 10: Whatever is thrown at us. The Prime Minister of the
11:14
Speaker 10: day should have the ability of the strength of character
11:16
Speaker 10: to be able to stand up against bullies, against those
11:19
Speaker 10: that would seek to do us harm, to keep our
11:21
Speaker 10: country safe and to make sure that we can make
11:23
Speaker 10: the right economic decisions for our country.
11:25
Speaker 2: So Australian correspondent Leslie Yeomans has been getting the reaction
11:29
Speaker 2: for us and we've got her up very early indeed
11:31
Speaker 2: in Australia. Thank you so much, Lesie. Good morning to you.
11:34
Speaker 2: Good morning Andrew skycoarder for Albernezi. Was he the obvious winner?
11:39
Speaker 6: It appears so.
11:40
Speaker 5: Yes.
11:40
Speaker 6: One hundred undecided voters were invited to this first debate
11:45
Speaker 6: and they were the ones who were asking the questions
11:48
Speaker 6: and then would eventually at the end of the debate
11:52
Speaker 6: give their assessment of who won and possibly who they
11:56
Speaker 6: would vote for, mentioning those those tariffs from the US.
12:01
Speaker 6: Donald Trump was the first. In the first question that
12:05
Speaker 6: was put to Alberan Easy. It was the only time
12:08
Speaker 6: he was ever mentioned, so he got one mention and
12:11
Speaker 6: that was it, and then they moved on to other things.
12:14
Speaker 6: The debate basically was a sort of policy driven I
12:17
Speaker 6: guess all the questions that were asked were about the
12:20
Speaker 6: main policy issues from both parties, immigration, health, education, and Yes,
12:26
Speaker 6: cost of living.
12:27
Speaker 2: Is cost of living the number one issue?
12:30
Speaker 6: Yes, it is, Yeah, because that's what's hurting people the most.
12:33
Speaker 6: And there's so much going on with what is going
12:38
Speaker 6: on overseas that I think also a lot of people
12:42
Speaker 6: just don't get that. Sometimes it doesn't matter what anyone does,
12:47
Speaker 6: things are going to sort of be going downhill because
12:50
Speaker 6: of overseas influences. A lot of stuff that can be
12:54
Speaker 6: done over here as well in your home country, but
12:57
Speaker 6: there are a lot of outside influences that are going
13:00
Speaker 6: to cause some issues. Just like watching the stock market
13:03
Speaker 6: go down, peoples overhear their superannuation, which is invested in
13:09
Speaker 6: goodness knows what is sort of being affected. Yes, So
13:14
Speaker 6: there was a lot of cost of living issues mentioned
13:17
Speaker 6: last night, and concerns regarding energy policy as well, and
13:22
Speaker 6: how the government is going to try and help people
13:26
Speaker 6: cope with those growing energy bills.
13:28
Speaker 2: Is it going to be a close one?
13:32
Speaker 6: Most elections are these days, particularly seeing that there are
13:36
Speaker 6: other with the two major parties, one of their main
13:40
Speaker 6: concerns now is what's going to happen with some of
13:43
Speaker 6: the independence what we call overhere the teal independence, And
13:49
Speaker 6: they're sort of growing in number, and it's going to
13:52
Speaker 6: be interesting to see if some more of those teal
13:55
Speaker 6: independence can middle away at the major parties in some
13:59
Speaker 6: of those of those seats, and more of them are
14:02
Speaker 6: coming forward.
14:03
Speaker 2: Yes, and are you going to be able to get
14:05
Speaker 2: back to seat this morning?
14:06
Speaker 6: Yes?
14:07
Speaker 2: Good and I thank you for your time today. Lisie
14:09
Speaker 2: Yeomens is our Australian correspondent. I mean, just look at
14:12
Speaker 2: the time. I can't believe she got up for us.
14:14
Speaker 2: Thank you so much. It's five twenty four. We were
14:17
Speaker 2: talking about Oranga tom Ariki yesterday. A new reporters come out.
14:19
Speaker 2: I want to have some thoughts about that in a
14:21
Speaker 2: sec The.
14:21
Speaker 1: Early Edition Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News
14:26
Speaker 1: Talk ZIB.
14:28
Speaker 2: News TALKSB. I'm Andrew Dickins. It is fire twenty seven.
14:31
Speaker 2: So Aranga Tamariki is getting rid of its target to
14:34
Speaker 2: place fifty eight percent of the kids in its care
14:37
Speaker 2: with widerfino or family, and it's also ditching a target
14:42
Speaker 2: for investment with Maori organizations. Twenty three percent of their
14:45
Speaker 2: funding was targeted for organizations with Maori and EWE links.
14:49
Speaker 2: The Minister of Children, Karen Tua, says this is part
14:52
Speaker 2: of OT's safety first approach, and she said the targets
14:55
Speaker 2: were outdated and went against the need not race direct
15:00
Speaker 2: to and she was concerned whether the priority of mary
15:02
Speaker 2: organizations were getting in the way of the quality and
15:05
Speaker 2: efficacy of the services being provided. And all of that
15:08
Speaker 2: makes sense to me. The ingrained belief in our children's
15:13
Speaker 2: social workers that kids are always better off if rehome
15:18
Speaker 2: with farno or family always seemed counterfactual to me, because
15:22
Speaker 2: in many cases the abuse directed at the kids was
15:24
Speaker 2: at the hand of farno or family themselves, people that
15:29
Speaker 2: have been raised by other people in their family but
15:31
Speaker 2: failed at their own parenting. So why would we give
15:33
Speaker 2: the kids back to the people that raise the people
15:36
Speaker 2: who can't raise the kids. It often seemed to me
15:39
Speaker 2: that children were being thrown right back into the very
15:42
Speaker 2: cauldron we were trying to help them escape from and
15:45
Speaker 2: there have been generations of examples, haven't there. Let's not
15:49
Speaker 2: forget baby Ru. I haven't mentioned Ru's name for a while.
15:53
Speaker 2: He was murdered in October twenty twenty three. Nobody has
15:56
Speaker 2: been charged for killing him. There was anger then and
15:58
Speaker 2: anger now when the police were worth there when he suffered,
16:01
Speaker 2: or sorry when the people who were there when he
16:03
Speaker 2: suffered did not cooperate with the police. They were there,
16:07
Speaker 2: they say nothing. Those people were and are Rosie Moronga,
16:12
Speaker 2: her partner, Dylan Ross, and Ru's mother Storm Wall. They
16:17
Speaker 2: were and they are Ruse Farno. What happened people, It's
16:23
Speaker 2: being two years and two Christmas is what happened two birthdays.
16:27
Speaker 2: The uplifting of kids is a very serious thing, and
16:31
Speaker 2: they need to be housed in safe places with good people.
16:35
Speaker 2: But the history of oranga tamariki suggests that too many
16:38
Speaker 2: of the supposed saviors are in fact predators hiding in
16:42
Speaker 2: plain sight. There is no easy answer to this, which
16:46
Speaker 2: is why I've spoken about this for decades. And the
16:51
Speaker 2: only thing we can have is strong vigilance by our agencies,
16:54
Speaker 2: by oranga tamariki, And the only thing we can hope
16:58
Speaker 2: for is that good people forward to help the kids
17:02
Speaker 2: that have been abused Dickens, it's five nine. A bit
17:07
Speaker 2: of exciting around of course, that Bruce Springsteen is releasing
17:09
Speaker 2: not one, but seven new albums in June, and the
17:12
Speaker 2: first single was released yes, oh no, five days ago.
17:16
Speaker 2: Finally I got to hear it yesterday because there's a
17:18
Speaker 2: new lyric video out, so I'll play you a bit
17:20
Speaker 2: of it and tell you some of the reaction to
17:23
Speaker 2: the song. Isn't any good? Is the question? Plus? Organized
17:27
Speaker 2: crime has exploded in New Zealand over the past five years.
17:30
Speaker 2: We have a ministerial report. So here we go again.
17:33
Speaker 2: What are we going to do about it? You've got
17:34
Speaker 2: Early Edition with Andrew Dickens here till Monday. This is
17:37
Speaker 2: News Talk. Set me.
17:39
Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on Early Edition Andrew Dickens
17:43
Speaker 1: and one roof make your property search simple News Talks.
17:47
Speaker 1: It'd be around.
18:00
Speaker 6: Him.
18:06
Speaker 2: Ah yeah, good morning. My manager is welcome back to
18:09
Speaker 2: the program and thank you for turning to us. Now
18:11
Speaker 2: that is what the world's been waiting for. Apparently, the
18:14
Speaker 2: new single from Bruce Springsteen released five days ago. Last
18:17
Speaker 2: night they dropped a lyric video on YouTube. If you
18:19
Speaker 2: want to watch it and I listened to it last
18:22
Speaker 2: night and that was the first time I've heard it,
18:24
Speaker 2: And frankly, I think it's a bit of a dirge,
18:26
Speaker 2: to be honest with you, and there might be a
18:28
Speaker 2: reason why he hasn't released this stuff but the whole
18:30
Speaker 2: seven albums, because you know, And is this the best
18:34
Speaker 2: song of the seventy three songs that he's releasing. I
18:37
Speaker 2: hope not. But Bruce fans are Bruce fans. And I
18:40
Speaker 2: was looking at the video and I love the review
18:42
Speaker 2: from a Bruce fan. I'm going to read it out.
18:44
Speaker 2: Listen to this love how With only seven lines, Bruce
18:47
Speaker 2: creates a haunting, lyrical narrative that channels the mythos of
18:51
Speaker 2: Southern vigilante dust mool blues and folk of the thirties,
18:55
Speaker 2: and weaves that tapantry with a simple yet raw, brass knuck,
19:00
Speaker 2: larger than life musical arrangement that, in my opinion, feels
19:03
Speaker 2: more introspective, reflective, and full of unsatisfied anger and Catharsis
19:09
Speaker 2: after killing the woman he loves off for goodness, state
19:11
Speaker 2: man steady on. Now do we like cops on the beat? Yes,
19:16
Speaker 2: we do. A taxpayer courier hole shows that sixty six
19:20
Speaker 2: percent of us feel safer with cops on the beat,
19:23
Speaker 2: only ten percent feel ly safe. The real irony came
19:25
Speaker 2: in this poll. Amongst Green voters, forty eight percent feel
19:29
Speaker 2: more safe and only nineteen percent feel less safe, which
19:32
Speaker 2: all makes a mockery of Green MP Tamotha Paul's claims
19:35
Speaker 2: that we don't want to see cops everywhere and they
19:37
Speaker 2: make us feel uneasy. Talk to your people, Tamitha. It
19:42
Speaker 2: shows what we all know, and that's that Tamotha Paul
19:45
Speaker 2: does not speak for a lot of us, and her
19:48
Speaker 2: feelings are based on a small minority of her constituents
19:51
Speaker 2: who feel targeted and profiled. And that may be because
19:54
Speaker 2: they've got something lurking beneath to feel guilty about and
19:57
Speaker 2: it shows up in their demeanor. Paul's only point worth
20:01
Speaker 2: considering is her core for services to target, put services
20:06
Speaker 2: to target, preventing people getting into crime in the first place.
20:09
Speaker 2: Right now, Tamotha, when you come up with a workable
20:12
Speaker 2: idea for that, maybe we should also send you out
20:15
Speaker 2: on a hunt for a unicorn in the wild. It
20:17
Speaker 2: is twenty one to six Andrew dickens around the country.
20:20
Speaker 2: We go callen Proctor from Dunedin. Good morning, morning, Andrew
20:26
Speaker 2: ten centimeters of snow at Cardrona.
20:29
Speaker 11: Ow and it felt like it yesterday too. Here a
20:32
Speaker 11: first taste of winter and it's so building excitement for
20:36
Speaker 11: ski fields, notably Kadrona Alpine Resort that's the one near Wanaka.
20:40
Speaker 11: They work up to ten centimeters of the white stuff
20:43
Speaker 11: around the mountain yesterday. Of course other fields in the
20:46
Speaker 11: region also getting a dusting, but Kadrona's on track to
20:49
Speaker 11: overtake Fucker Parper as New Zealand's largest ski field when
20:52
Speaker 11: it opens one hundred and fifty hectares of new terrain.
20:56
Speaker 11: The general managers Laura Headley, She says they're working hard
20:59
Speaker 11: to finish multiple including this new express sharelift and t bar.
21:03
Speaker 11: She says it's going to be a lot of new terrain,
21:05
Speaker 11: about the size of one hundred and fifty football fields.
21:09
Speaker 2: I booked my holiday to go and ski the Soho
21:12
Speaker 2: Basin a year and a half ago because I am
21:15
Speaker 2: so excited. How's your weather today.
21:17
Speaker 11: Well, no sign of any snow today. It's better day
21:20
Speaker 11: find today for duneed and cloudy period sou westeries and seventeen.
21:23
Speaker 2: Player sure it joins you from Christier Telly Claire.
21:25
Speaker 12: Good morning.
21:26
Speaker 2: So the whole tsunami warning system scenario, well.
21:30
Speaker 13: The tsunami warning system scenario, it's gone from one thing
21:33
Speaker 13: to the next over the last few days. The forty
21:35
Speaker 13: five sirens here in christ Church that cover the area
21:38
Speaker 13: along the coastline between Brooklyn's and Taylor's mistake were meant
21:42
Speaker 13: to sound at eleven o'clock on Sunday morning, but they
21:45
Speaker 13: simply didn't. And that's because the person responsible, we've now learned,
21:49
Speaker 13: was dealing with a car which had crashed outside their property.
21:52
Speaker 13: Council's head of Community Support and Partnerships, John phil sal
21:55
Speaker 13: says it's unacceptable that we have an emergency system so
21:59
Speaker 13: dependent on person. But overnight's the coastal counselor so lest
22:03
Speaker 13: Donovan's taken it one further. She's revealed that it's unacceptable
22:06
Speaker 13: the sirens are not triggered locally. In fact, she says
22:09
Speaker 13: these sirens are operated by a small company in Auckland,
22:12
Speaker 13: and she claims they're using outdated technology. Discussions are underway
22:17
Speaker 13: with the external supplier to ensure this can't happen again,
22:20
Speaker 13: while another test of our sirens will be done.
22:22
Speaker 12: Over the next few weeks. Is still yet to confirm
22:25
Speaker 12: a date for that.
22:25
Speaker 2: How's your weather today?
22:27
Speaker 13: Fine? With Southwesterly's dying out a bit later and Hive eighteen.
22:30
Speaker 2: Max told joins us from Wellington hall Imax, good morning,
22:33
Speaker 2: what do you know about Andrew Little running from air?
22:36
Speaker 14: Yeah? Great story from our news remethan minera yet late
22:39
Speaker 14: yesterday it does seem very legitimate that Little is considering
22:43
Speaker 14: a tilt at the city's top job. What's been interesting
22:46
Speaker 14: is about the instant reaction is that Andrew Little appears
22:49
Speaker 14: to be a guy who's pretty broadly liked across the spectrum.
22:53
Speaker 14: He got some praise from Winston Peters even, who reckons
22:56
Speaker 14: first and foremost it'd be a lot more sane and
22:58
Speaker 14: rational than the current holder of offers some national voices
23:03
Speaker 14: on social media as well, expressing cautious support. Little says
23:07
Speaker 14: a lot of people have been asking him to run.
23:08
Speaker 14: We've well documented the Labour's struggle to find a viable
23:12
Speaker 14: candidate to take on Torrifino. Little says the city does
23:16
Speaker 14: need a change, and he'll announce more at a later date.
23:19
Speaker 14: How's your weather mostly find Southerly's sixteenth central.
23:24
Speaker 2: Never read a mana joins us formalkanhell and either reatings
23:26
Speaker 2: so Orkin has love to know what their property's worth,
23:28
Speaker 2: but there's a delay in finding that out.
23:30
Speaker 12: Oh, this is like a delay of a delay of
23:32
Speaker 12: a delay, Andrew so Augland Council. They completed the new
23:35
Speaker 12: valuations by last May, but release of the capital values
23:39
Speaker 12: data now that's been pushed back a second time from
23:42
Speaker 12: next month to an unknown date this year. So the
23:46
Speaker 12: figures applied to more than six hundred thousand properties. So
23:49
Speaker 12: this initial delay was because the Valuer General requested an amendments.
23:53
Speaker 12: So fingers crossed that they're hoping to confirm a new
23:57
Speaker 12: date in May May next month.
23:59
Speaker 2: How's Awkin's weather?
24:00
Speaker 12: Mainly fine. We've got a few showers are clearing early afternoon.
24:02
Speaker 12: Twenty is the high here?
24:04
Speaker 2: It is now seventeen to six. Now, earlier I mentioned
24:07
Speaker 2: Tamiki the change of targets there. I also mentioned the
24:10
Speaker 2: case of baby Rue and Lorraine has made a very
24:12
Speaker 2: good point. She says, good morning, Andrew. Now after baby Route,
24:17
Speaker 2: Now do the little five year old Pakihat boy whose
24:19
Speaker 2: auntie and uncle went to court to try and get
24:21
Speaker 2: custody because they knew he was unsafe, but his imprisoned
24:24
Speaker 2: mother gave custody to her friend who then killed him.
24:28
Speaker 2: Let's hear you talk about this little guy or are
24:30
Speaker 2: you just doing Malori? Lorraine, very good point. The funding
24:35
Speaker 2: for Mali organizations by Tamriki was targeted at twenty three percent,
24:38
Speaker 2: so there's another seventy seven percent that goes towards everybody
24:42
Speaker 2: else in New Zealand. And this problem is not just
24:46
Speaker 2: a Milord problem. This is also a European and Asian
24:50
Speaker 2: problem as well. And you're right. All kids that suffer
24:54
Speaker 2: at the hands of their parents and then at the
24:58
Speaker 2: hands of their caregivers to be remembered, no matter what
25:01
Speaker 2: the color of this skin. So thank you the rain.
25:04
Speaker 2: It is sixteen minutes to sixth Prince Harry is in
25:06
Speaker 2: court again. He wants more cops when he comes to
25:09
Speaker 2: the UK because he does not feel safe. Kevin Grays with.
25:12
Speaker 1: A Snakes International correspondence with ins andn Eye Insurance Peace
25:17
Speaker 1: of mind for New Zealand business.
25:21
Speaker 2: Way after the UK. Kevin greg good morning to here
25:24
Speaker 2: hither Andrew. What a good job it is to be
25:27
Speaker 2: Prince Harry's lawyer because he's in court a lot.
25:31
Speaker 9: He is and it seems to be one of the
25:33
Speaker 9: few reasons he comes back to the UK At the moment.
25:35
Speaker 9: I don't think it's going to help his popularity. But
25:38
Speaker 9: he's back in court, this time the Court of Appeal
25:41
Speaker 9: to challenge an earlier High Court decision which went against him.
25:44
Speaker 9: This is all about the level of security he receives
25:48
Speaker 9: when he's in the UK.
25:49
Speaker 7: Now.
25:49
Speaker 9: The committee that sits to decide on this automatically, of course,
25:54
Speaker 9: gives security to working royals. He is no longer a
25:57
Speaker 9: working royal and so the Duke's secure in the UK
26:01
Speaker 9: is currently decided on a case by case basis like
26:04
Speaker 9: any other high profile visitor to the UK. Prince Harry
26:07
Speaker 9: sat in the back of the court today with a
26:09
Speaker 9: notepad and pen. He didn't give evidence. It's a two
26:13
Speaker 9: day hearing and then a decision will be made at
26:16
Speaker 9: a later date. Interestingly, his legal representative saying that he
26:21
Speaker 9: should have been told how the decisions about security were
26:24
Speaker 9: being made. She's not arguing that he should automatically be
26:28
Speaker 9: entitled to the same protection he was previously given. Anyway,
26:31
Speaker 9: Prince Harry claimed that he had not been given the
26:33
Speaker 9: chance to make his own case or see the risk
26:36
Speaker 9: assessments and also outlined some incidents that had happened, which
26:41
Speaker 9: he says was a danger because his security had been downgraded,
26:44
Speaker 9: including a car pursuit with paparazzi in New York so
26:48
Speaker 9: that's not the UK, and also Al Qaeda calling for
26:52
Speaker 9: the prince to be murdered back in twenty twenty. As
26:55
Speaker 9: I said a decision would be made at a later date.
26:57
Speaker 2: Andrew, Well, I wish him lack but when he quit
26:59
Speaker 2: the job, basically he's ended up being just the same
27:01
Speaker 2: as Brad Pitt and Taylor Swift, So you know what
27:04
Speaker 2: could he expect Anyway, The big story around the world's
27:08
Speaker 2: the tariffs and the reaction on the on the sheer
27:10
Speaker 2: markets and the stock market. So European indices rose what
27:14
Speaker 2: three percent after the week of tariff So is a
27:16
Speaker 2: bit of a rebound, Yes, a.
27:18
Speaker 9: Little bit of a rebound obviously awaiting this big decision
27:22
Speaker 9: day now on the tariff war as it were between
27:24
Speaker 9: the US and China and for US on the sideline. Well, yeah,
27:28
Speaker 9: more positive territory today. The foot Sea one hundred up
27:32
Speaker 9: two point seven percent, the CAC forty in Paris up
27:35
Speaker 9: two point five percent, the Dack's up two and a
27:38
Speaker 9: half percent. But when you look at how they've gone down,
27:42
Speaker 9: all the three indices reached their record highs last month
27:46
Speaker 9: since then, the foot Sea one hundred down eleven percent,
27:50
Speaker 9: the CAC in Paris down fourteen percent, and the same
27:53
Speaker 9: for the DAKS down fourteen percent. So huge losses. And
27:56
Speaker 9: although today, yes, some positive news, well I'm afraid there's
28:01
Speaker 9: an awful long way to go besween these share values
28:03
Speaker 9: actually start to recover significantly.
28:06
Speaker 2: Yes, and to figure out the whole ramifications of you're
28:08
Speaker 2: a very wise man for saying that, And I thank
28:09
Speaker 2: you for your time today, Gavin great out of the UK.
28:12
Speaker 2: It's eleven to six. All right, boy, there's a hell
28:16
Speaker 2: of a report out. It's from the Ministerial Advisory Group
28:21
Speaker 2: Targeting Transnational Organized Crime and it's releasing his first report
28:26
Speaker 2: this morning. It shows a substantial increase in organized crime
28:29
Speaker 2: over the past five years. It shows surges and methamphetamine usage,
28:34
Speaker 2: which we already knew. It shows growth in cyber fraud.
28:38
Speaker 2: So the Associate Minister of Police, Casey Costello, is the
28:40
Speaker 2: minister responsible for the working group, and of course sees
28:44
Speaker 2: a police minister. She joins me. Now, good morning to you, Casey.
28:47
Speaker 5: Good morning.
28:47
Speaker 6: How are you.
28:48
Speaker 2: It's good, it's a bad it's a bad picture of
28:51
Speaker 2: what is seemingly a bad land.
28:54
Speaker 5: Yes, And that's the big part is the first report
28:58
Speaker 5: is about buildewenis about what the real is as we're
29:00
Speaker 5: dealing with as a government. We've done a lot of
29:02
Speaker 5: work around the public facing stuff that people see, the
29:05
Speaker 5: game patches, the sentence thing, but this is what's in
29:09
Speaker 5: behind driving this crime trend that we need to get
29:14
Speaker 5: on top of. And the first part is building at
29:17
Speaker 5: public awareness.
29:18
Speaker 2: The report then goes on to say information sharing is
29:21
Speaker 2: as a critical problem and you need to work on
29:23
Speaker 2: that first. But I would say that most of the
29:24
Speaker 2: people out and about go, yeah, well you shouldn't share
29:27
Speaker 2: information anyway, When are we going to hit the crimins?
29:31
Speaker 5: So this is the part. It's about a step change
29:35
Speaker 5: in the way we approach. We have always operated in
29:38
Speaker 5: silos and our enforcement agencies we work cooperatively at the
29:42
Speaker 5: ground level. We haven't been very good at a high
29:45
Speaker 5: level allowing these leavers to be pulled. And that's the part.
29:50
Speaker 5: We have seen a change.
29:52
Speaker 7: You saw media.
29:53
Speaker 5: Yesterday about the increase of work that I idea doing.
29:56
Speaker 5: We are seeing a change in that environment, and we
29:59
Speaker 5: just know that we can do more, and it's about
30:01
Speaker 5: being clear about what it is we're trying to do now.
30:03
Speaker 2: The one thing we're getting a lot of headlines on
30:05
Speaker 2: because of the waste water and because of the arrest
30:08
Speaker 2: is meth usage that has absolutely skyrocketed. It's doubled over
30:11
Speaker 2: the year, and the report shows that we used to
30:14
Speaker 2: stop fifty five kilograms of meth a year decade on,
30:18
Speaker 2: we're now stopping ninety kilograms of week. You are also
30:22
Speaker 2: the Minister for Customs. Does this concern you? Is our
30:25
Speaker 2: border security working? Can you actually harden this out?
30:29
Speaker 7: Well?
30:30
Speaker 5: The good news in that story is that nearly half
30:32
Speaker 5: of the drugs we're stopping, we're stopping outside of our border,
30:36
Speaker 5: so they're not even on New Zealand shores when we
30:38
Speaker 5: get it. So that shows our international relationships, our intelligence
30:42
Speaker 5: sharing across the world is really god and we're targeting
30:45
Speaker 5: supply chains well. But we can do more, and there's
30:49
Speaker 5: a whole range of leaders that I know we can poll.
30:52
Speaker 5: I started this work when we first started talking about
30:55
Speaker 5: what we can do. We started this work and Cabinet
30:58
Speaker 5: signed us off in November last year, so we were
31:00
Speaker 5: gearing up for this for some time, and now we're
31:04
Speaker 5: heaving the rubber hitting the road.
31:06
Speaker 2: Okay, well when will the rubber hit the road? Because
31:08
Speaker 2: you know what everyone has said and even this report say,
31:11
Speaker 2: is that successive government's policies failures have been rearranging the
31:15
Speaker 2: dictators on the Titanic. So when can you give us
31:18
Speaker 2: a timeline of when you might actually make some bold
31:20
Speaker 2: changes to legislation that fights the surge in organized crime?
31:26
Speaker 5: The big thing is that we want to be making
31:27
Speaker 5: sure we're doing the right thing. That's why we've set
31:29
Speaker 5: up this group of experts that work operationally, understand what
31:33
Speaker 5: it's like in the field, and know what we can
31:35
Speaker 5: do better. This isn't about policy people writing an action plan.
31:39
Speaker 5: So each month's a report will be delivered from the
31:42
Speaker 5: Advisory Group with specific actions that they recommend the government
31:46
Speaker 5: does that. The first report was just setting the scene,
31:49
Speaker 5: making sure people understand the gravity of the situation we're
31:52
Speaker 5: dealing with. And each month up until the final report
31:55
Speaker 5: in September, we will be delivering on specific actions that
31:59
Speaker 5: this government can do to move faster.
32:01
Speaker 2: So will we get an action plan this year?
32:04
Speaker 5: That this is more than an action plan? This is
32:06
Speaker 5: specific actions we will do each month that the group
32:10
Speaker 5: will no.
32:11
Speaker 2: I mean I mean by the bold legislation, the actually
32:13
Speaker 2: confronting the problem, not actually identifying the problem, but confronting
32:16
Speaker 2: the problem. Will you confront the problem this year?
32:19
Speaker 5: Yes, absolutely, That's what I'm saying. Each month there will
32:22
Speaker 5: be things that we will be doing, specific actions we
32:25
Speaker 5: will be doing around how the agencies work closer together,
32:28
Speaker 5: breaking down those barriers, around information sharing, how we target
32:33
Speaker 5: the money better, how we disrupt and prevent our borders
32:36
Speaker 5: from being compromised. We as a nation should be the
32:39
Speaker 5: very best in the world doing this. We have one
32:41
Speaker 5: and one border, one enforcement agency, one justice system, and
32:45
Speaker 5: I know we can do better.
32:46
Speaker 2: Ok Sie, I thank you so very very much. We
32:49
Speaker 2: always are very good at identifying the problem. The trick
32:52
Speaker 2: is actually solving it.
32:54
Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition with
32:59
Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens and One Roof to make your property search simple,
33:03
Speaker 1: you talk said be.
33:05
Speaker 2: By the way, Kios Sarma so Kis Starmer, the Prime
33:08
Speaker 2: Minister of the UK, has written a piece and it's
33:10
Speaker 2: been printed in the Herald today and he kind of
33:12
Speaker 2: says what I said in the first place, that the
33:14
Speaker 2: age of rules and regulations and civil government has gone.
33:17
Speaker 2: And welcome to the age of deals and alliances. I
33:19
Speaker 2: call it the age of the blocks, the bricks versus
33:23
Speaker 2: versus the Aussies and the Australasians and all that sort
33:26
Speaker 2: of thing. It's in the Herald today. Mike Hosking is
