Speaker 2: you this morning from six until nine. It is great
0:48
Speaker 2: to be here. We're going to get straight into it
0:50
Speaker 2: this morning with the agenda. The agenda. New data from
0:56
Speaker 2: statsing z shows our population is rapidly aging. Hundred and
1:00
Speaker 2: fifty thousand people will be aged ninety or older by
1:04
Speaker 2: the twenty sixties. Currently that number is thirty five thousand.
1:08
Speaker 2: It's sparked concern from advocacy Group Aged Concern Chief executive
1:13
Speaker 2: Karen Billings gents and says we're not building new homes
1:16
Speaker 2: with older people in mind.
1:18
Speaker 3: I'm talking multi story homes, access to public transport, flat
1:22
Speaker 3: areas that people can move around and be connected to
1:25
Speaker 3: their community.
1:26
Speaker 2: Suburbs in Autland and Hamilton have faced the most burglaries
1:29
Speaker 2: over the past four years. On average, a burglary is
1:32
Speaker 2: supported every twelve minutes. This is across the country, so
1:35
Speaker 2: that's one hundred and eighty thousand reports nationwide over the
1:38
Speaker 2: last four years, but most in terms of suburbs have
1:41
Speaker 2: taken place in Auckland's Tuckenenny South with one hundred and
1:45
Speaker 2: seventy eight reported. It's not just an Auckland issue, though,
1:48
Speaker 2: Herald head of Data Chris Knox says burglaries in Wellington
1:52
Speaker 2: can be very localized.
1:53
Speaker 4: There was one block around Willison Victoria Street where where
1:57
Speaker 4: they had fifty seven burglary supported.
2:00
Speaker 3: The next block over from that block too, burg where
2:02
Speaker 3: he's are reported.
2:04
Speaker 2: You know which block you want to live in, don't you.
2:07

2:19
Speaker 2: inhibitor drugs for all people with chronic heart failure, using
2:22

2:51
Speaker 1: The News you Need this morning and the in depth
2:54
Speaker 1: Analysis Early edition with Ryan Bridge and Swis City, New
2:58
Speaker 1: Zealand's Furniture, Beds and Appliance Store News Talks.
3:01
Speaker 2: It'd be just gone nine minutes after five. A big
3:03
Speaker 2: day or a big evening, i should say. In France,
3:06
Speaker 2: the first exit poll from the election is expected around
3:09
Speaker 2: six o'clock this morning, so Andrew will have details for
3:12
Speaker 2: you on that. We'll also speak to Gavin Gray, who'll
3:14
Speaker 2: be live at about quarter to six. The highest turnout,
3:18
Speaker 2: this is what we can tell you so far. The
3:20
Speaker 2: highest turnout in decades since nineteen eighty one, and they
3:24
Speaker 2: are still voting, so it's going to be a whopper.
3:28
Speaker 2: We will find out, of course, just how far right
3:31
Speaker 2: they have gone. Will the far right National Rally take
3:33
Speaker 2: over the government. The majority they need is two hundred
3:37
Speaker 2: and eighty nine. There are five hundred and one seats
3:40
Speaker 2: in parliament in the French parliament now seventy six of
3:42
Speaker 2: those have already been decided in the first round of voting.
3:46
Speaker 2: But the big swing to Lipen's National Rally in the
3:50
Speaker 2: first round of voting to thirty three point four percent,
3:55
Speaker 2: that could change because a couple of other things have changed.
4:00
Speaker 2: Think the main thing that has changed is that people
4:03
Speaker 2: pulled out, So two hundred candidates are pulled out, meaning
4:06
Speaker 2: there are fewer three way races. And there's another word
4:10
Speaker 2: that the French use for a freeway, which I won't
4:12
Speaker 2: mention on radio because it's just entirely inappropriate. What they're
4:16
Speaker 2: trying to do this is the center and the left.
4:18
Speaker 2: They are trying to run an anti far right campaign.
4:22
Speaker 2: What they don't know, and what we don't know yet
4:25
Speaker 2: is just how many people will actually vote accordingly. So
4:30
Speaker 2: for this to work, you would have to get many
4:32
Speaker 2: centrist voters to vote for far left candidates. Do they
4:38
Speaker 2: want to do that? You would need to get many
4:40
Speaker 2: lefties voting for centrist candidates a Macrons or Macron's party.
4:48
Speaker 2: So will that actually happen? Will it play out as they,
4:51
Speaker 2: you know, intend it to the sort of strategy that
4:54
Speaker 2: they're running with pulling candidates out. We will find out.
4:57
Speaker 2: We're going to talk to Gavin Gray as they say
5:00
Speaker 2: it's a five forty four this morning. The other big question,
5:04
Speaker 2: of course, is what happens if they don't get a majority.
5:06
Speaker 2: How do they govern? What does that look like? We
5:09
Speaker 2: will find out. The time now is eleven after five.
5:14
Speaker 1: The First Word on the News of the Day Early
5:17
Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture
5:20
Speaker 1: Beds and a play at store News Talk ZIB.
5:24
Speaker 2: Good morning, it is thirteen after five. Great to be
5:27
Speaker 2: with you here on z B. My name is Ryan
5:29
Speaker 2: Bridge and this is my very first show on News
5:31
Speaker 2: TALKB and I'm very excited about that and as some
5:34
Speaker 2: of you are as well, which is which is very pleasing.
5:37
Speaker 2: You can text nine to nine two. I am reliably
5:40
Speaker 2: reliably informed as the number to text if you've got
5:43
Speaker 2: something to share with us this morning, right now. Though
5:45
Speaker 2: new grocery data from Infometrics and food stuff costs from
5:48
Speaker 2: supplies to supermarkets rose by two point seven percent in June.
5:53
Speaker 2: Costs in all departments rupped this year compared to last year,
5:56
Speaker 2: and around two thousand items increased in price between May
6:00
Speaker 2: and June. Johnny VNAs And for Metrics, Chief forecast Gareth Cannon, Gareth,
6:05
Speaker 2: good morning. Forgive me, Gareth, I've got to turn you
6:10
Speaker 2: on myself. Gareth, Gareth, good morning.
6:14
Speaker 4: Right, yeah, yeah, keeping comms on the first day.
6:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry about that. Good to have you on the show.
6:21
Speaker 2: So tell me why is this still going up?
6:25
Speaker 4: There are still a few pressures coming in from overseas
6:28
Speaker 4: which have affected things in the last month. We're still
6:30
Speaker 4: seeing higher prices for cooking oil, coffee, chocolate, those sort
6:34
Speaker 4: of things. And there are also a few higher produce prices,
6:38
Speaker 4: a few fruit rising and price this month as well.
6:42
Speaker 4: But I guess the key trend is, Look, we're not
6:44
Speaker 4: seeing the same extended price rises that we're getting eighteen
6:47
Speaker 4: months ago when the index was up more than ten
6:50
Speaker 4: percent on a year ago. So coming it's been moderating
6:52
Speaker 4: over the last twelve months or so, and we're continuing
6:55
Speaker 4: to see that trend happening.
6:56
Speaker 2: Is that coming down at a steady pace or is
7:00
Speaker 2: that are you seeing a sort of a reacceleration of
7:03
Speaker 2: some of these items.
7:06
Speaker 4: There's a few individual items in there, but the overall
7:09
Speaker 4: in that can it continuing to come down in a
7:11
Speaker 4: fairly steady case, it's still sitting. I guess the growth
7:14
Speaker 4: rate is above what we saw pre COVID, where prices
7:17
Speaker 4: or costs were rising it you know, sort of one
7:19
Speaker 4: to two percent prandom. So we're hoping for more moderation
7:22
Speaker 4: to be coming through, but there are still a few
7:24
Speaker 4: little bits of sort of stickiness and in terms of
7:27
Speaker 4: some of those prices.
7:28
Speaker 2: Yet, how important are these prices for the prices that
7:31
Speaker 2: we pay at the supermarket?
7:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, there are a significant component, of course of what
7:36
Speaker 4: ends up the cost coming through you in terms of
7:40
Speaker 4: what you're paying at supermarket. They're not everything. Labor costs
7:44
Speaker 4: and you know, commercial rent costs and electricity all those
7:47
Speaker 4: sort of things also feed through into the costs that
7:50
Speaker 4: supermarkets face and therefore the price that they charge you
7:53
Speaker 4: as well.
7:54
Speaker 2: Do you have any indication, I mean, are you are
7:57
Speaker 2: you able to take these numbers and put them into
7:59
Speaker 2: a ansigraph and then work out when this will actually
8:04
Speaker 2: start coming down, you know, or perhaps even turn the
8:08
Speaker 2: other way and go negative.
8:10
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're not expecting it to go negative. I guess
8:12
Speaker 4: what we've seen across the whole economy is that what
8:15
Speaker 4: we've had over the last two or three years through
8:17
Speaker 4: the pandemic and the sort of aftermath of that, is
8:19
Speaker 4: that you've almost had a step up in the level
8:22
Speaker 4: of prices overall, and I think food prices are not
8:26
Speaker 4: immune to that either. We are expecting now, I guess
8:29
Speaker 4: over the rest of the course of this year and
8:31
Speaker 4: into early twenty twenty five that the sort of last
8:34
Speaker 4: little bits of inflation that are still causing problems in
8:36
Speaker 4: the system, that they will sort of be weeded out
8:39
Speaker 4: and you will get price growth back to what we
8:41
Speaker 4: were used to prior to COVID.
8:43
Speaker 2: Gath, thank you very much for your time this morning.
8:45
Speaker 2: Great to have you on the program. Sixteen minutes after
8:46
Speaker 2: find that was Gareth Kennan infameatric's chief forecaster, Bryan Bridge,
8:51
Speaker 2: Joe Biden. He's eighty one years old and this is
8:53
Speaker 2: not about his age. I want to make that really clear.
8:57
Speaker 2: It's not a you know, is he eighty one? Can
9:00
Speaker 2: he be president? Thing? It's how many marbles can a
9:04
Speaker 2: president lose before? There aren't enough marbles left to be
9:07
Speaker 2: president with the.
9:11
Speaker 5: COVID, I should be with dealing with everything we have
9:15
Speaker 5: to do with. Look if we finally beat medicare.
9:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, so look here's a fact. My grandmother is eighty
9:27
Speaker 2: seven years old. Biden is eighty one. My grandmother just
9:30
Speaker 2: delivered a beautiful speech at a wedding, my wedding, in
9:34
Speaker 2: your wedding, at my wedding a week ago. So it's
9:36
Speaker 2: not an age thing, you know, it's a it's a
9:39
Speaker 2: competency thing. And there are new reports this morning about
9:44
Speaker 2: doctors visiting the White House. There's a top neurologist. This
9:47
Speaker 2: is a new report from the New York Post who
9:49
Speaker 2: visited in January. Also, now reporters starting to pick apart
9:54
Speaker 2: Biden's excuses as to why he performed so poorly during
9:58
Speaker 2: the debate with Trump last week. He said, remember he said,
10:02
Speaker 2: sort of off the cuff, I had a cold. I
10:04
Speaker 2: had a cold. And so what the CNN reporters did,
10:07
Speaker 2: quite rightly was go to the White House doctor and say,
10:10
Speaker 2: did Biden go to you at this time and say
10:13
Speaker 2: I had a cold, and the answer was no. He
10:15
Speaker 2: went to tell them he had a cold a couple
10:18
Speaker 2: of days after the debate. Convenient timing. It's interesting, isn't it,
10:25
Speaker 2: Because you know there are others who were lining up
10:28
Speaker 2: who want to one day be the leader of the
10:30
Speaker 2: Democratic Party and be the leader of the free world.
10:32
Speaker 2: And one of those people, undoubtedly is the California Governor
10:35
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsoon, though that's highly unlikely this time around. You
10:38
Speaker 2: would have to say. Anyway, he was asked at the
10:40
Speaker 2: weekend if he would run if there was an open convention.
10:44
Speaker 2: Have he listened to his answer, you help the convention,
10:47
Speaker 2: will you run? No, It's not even that's ninety minutes.
10:51
Speaker 6: To me, it's the hypothetical that gets in the way
10:52
Speaker 6: of progress in terms of promoting this candidacy. And I
10:55
Speaker 6: think it's exactly where Trump and everyone that's a legit question,
10:58
Speaker 6: but it's exactly where the other party as to be
11:01
Speaker 6: is having this internal fate.
11:02
Speaker 2: And I think it's extraordinarily unhelpful. Yeah. So, in other words,
11:06
Speaker 2: not saying that no, he wouldn't put his hand up
11:09
Speaker 2: or throw his hat in the ring, But the other
11:11
Speaker 2: thing he had to take into account. So there are
11:13
Speaker 2: now five Democrats are calling on him to step aside,
11:17
Speaker 2: but for the rest of them, like Newsome, at some point,
11:20
Speaker 2: You're going to start to look a little bit stupid,
11:22
Speaker 2: aren't you. I mean, I mean, when public opinion is
11:25
Speaker 2: turning against Biden, and when it's turning against his competency
11:30
Speaker 2: to be able to run the free world, and you're
11:34
Speaker 2: not on side with that public opinion, how long can
11:37
Speaker 2: you maintain that?
11:41
Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines, Ryan Bridge, you for twenty
11:45
Speaker 1: twenty four on early edition with Smith City, New Zealand's
11:49
Speaker 1: furniture beds and a planet store.
11:50
Speaker 2: News Talk said, be welcome back, good to have you.
11:54
Speaker 2: Andrew Ordison's he was sport good morning, welcome in, thank you,
11:58
Speaker 2: It's good to be here. It's very good to be here.
12:01
Speaker 2: I'll bet it is. I'm a little bit nervous. I
12:03
Speaker 2: guess perhaps in the same way Razor would have been
12:06
Speaker 2: before the All Blacks test on Saturday nights.
12:08
Speaker 7: I think so, yeah, certainly a valid comparison there, Scott Robinson.
12:13
Speaker 7: I mean, I don't know if you saw Arthur's but
12:15
Speaker 7: the candor demonstrated by Robertson in the aftermatch chat was
12:19
Speaker 7: just was pretty entertaining in itself, but getting home sixteen
12:24
Speaker 7: fifteen just in some nervous moments too, I think just
12:29
Speaker 7: with the nature of that English performance. They were pretty tenacious,
12:32
Speaker 7: they offered plenty of grit and yeah, he was his
12:37
Speaker 7: word as self. He was relieved. So yeah, espepose of
12:40
Speaker 7: the nerves too with Damien McKenzie with that penalty being
12:43
Speaker 7: called off two minutes from time for taking too long
12:47
Speaker 7: to kick it, and then still the English venturing into
12:50
Speaker 7: the New Zealand, it would have been some nursy and
12:52
Speaker 7: it was just I mean, part of the sideline was
12:54
Speaker 7: watching Robertson actually react in the box.
12:58
Speaker 2: Lilison is at Wimbledon.
13:01
Speaker 7: She is now, she is one set to love up
13:04
Speaker 7: against Emmeratikara. Don't want to alarm anyone just yet, but
13:07
Speaker 7: she is getting close to becoming a quarter finalist at
13:11
Speaker 7: the Wimbledon Championships. The last news he wanted to make
13:14
Speaker 7: the quarter final of any Grand Slam Blinda corbyll in
13:16
Speaker 7: ninety eighty nine at the Australian Open, who went on
13:19
Speaker 7: to make the semi finals. But soon is just showing
13:23
Speaker 7: some tremendous showing there. It's three all in the second Withroicado,
13:28
Speaker 7: but she has won the first set, so outstanding display.
13:31
Speaker 2: Fantastic and Lewis Hamilton just cleaning up.
13:34
Speaker 7: Lewis Hamilton back in the action at Silverston, the British
13:38
Speaker 7: Grand Prix. He's won that race the ninth.
13:42
Speaker 2: Time he's done so.
13:43
Speaker 7: He hasn't been on the podie hasn't won a race,
13:44
Speaker 7: I don't think since twenty twenty one, something of that nature.
13:47
Speaker 7: And beating current champion Max for STARp and out of
13:51
Speaker 7: the glory there. So tremendous performance from Hamilton getting back
13:56
Speaker 7: into the reckoning for Mercedes final time. He'll be driving
13:58
Speaker 7: for Mercedes to win them.
14:00
Speaker 2: And what about Liam Lawson this sort of talk of promotional.
14:06
Speaker 7: Yeah, this is an amazing scenario for Lawson. He potentially
14:11
Speaker 7: is going to get the drive for Red Bull, the
14:13
Speaker 7: Racing Bull's sister syndicate there with Red Bull, he's going
14:18
Speaker 7: to have two hundred k's. It will be about thirty
14:20
Speaker 7: four laps at Silverston to test out after the Scrand
14:24
Speaker 7: Prix and then they may do a shuffle depending on
14:27
Speaker 7: how he goes with that test drive, whether they push
14:30
Speaker 7: out Sujo Perez who's with Vestav at the moment, they
14:32
Speaker 7: might move Riccardo up or Sonoda into that second seat
14:36
Speaker 7: with the starpin, or he takes the seat of Riccardo.
14:40
Speaker 2: So he's been there for a year.
14:42
Speaker 7: Ricardo hasn't done an awful lot, so Lawson twenty two
14:45
Speaker 7: years old. Ryan, his career is on a tremendous trajectory.
14:49
Speaker 2: Pretty cool, isn't it, Andreewlison, Thank you very much for
14:51
Speaker 2: your time. That sport this morning. Coming up next it's
14:54
Speaker 2: d Day for Green MP Darlene Tannum. More on that
14:57
Speaker 2: in a second, separating the fact from the fiction.
15:03
Speaker 1: Kid's Filling edition with Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds
15:07
Speaker 1: and Appliant Store Newstalg ZB.
15:09
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Newstalk ZB with me Ryan Bridge. Great
15:12
Speaker 2: to be with you, twenty seven minutes after five. Yes,
15:14
Speaker 2: I am getting your text and I really appreciate them.
15:16
Speaker 2: Thank you. Right, let's talk about the ocr It is
15:20
Speaker 2: the elephant in the room at the moment for many people.
15:23
Speaker 2: If you are I don't want to stay unfortunate enough
15:26
Speaker 2: to have a mortgage, but if you have a mortgage.
15:28
Speaker 2: Here it is is Adrian or walking in the same
15:31
Speaker 2: streets that we are walking in the real economy is battling.
15:35
Speaker 2: They are not happy streets at the moment. I met
15:37
Speaker 2: a retailer the other day who hadn't sold a single
15:39
Speaker 2: thing in a week. Can you imagine being a retailer
15:42
Speaker 2: sitting in a shop, not just for one day, for
15:45
Speaker 2: half a day, but actually not selling anything for an
15:47
Speaker 2: entire week. The NZDII quarterly survey was out the net
15:51
Speaker 2: twenty five percent of firms cutting their head count, highest
15:55
Speaker 2: proportion since the GFC. We've got people hurting, and we've
16:00
Speaker 2: got the asben Ou predicting we need a cut this year.
16:03
Speaker 2: We've got ben Z's Stephen Topless saying the latest Darter
16:07
Speaker 2: quote screams that rates need to be cut sooner. And
16:11
Speaker 2: we've got adriane Or stubbornly saying no, no, we have
16:14
Speaker 2: to wait till we get down to two percent. And
16:15
Speaker 2: of course that's his job. I mean, it's to get
16:17
Speaker 2: it between one and three percent. And he said that
16:20
Speaker 2: two is the target, and inflation has slowed, but it's
16:24
Speaker 2: still sitting at four percent, which is too high. Right,
16:26
Speaker 2: So adriane Or will be nervous to cut the rates
16:29
Speaker 2: too soon and risk keeping inflation fires burning. He arguably
16:34
Speaker 2: helped light the fires in the first place by pumping
16:37
Speaker 2: cash in during COVID and you don't want to be
16:40
Speaker 2: the guy accused of helping start fire that you then
16:44
Speaker 2: fail to properly put out. So I can see why
16:49
Speaker 2: he's taking the track that he is. It's basically his job.
16:53
Speaker 2: But boy does it feel hard to swallow that at
16:56
Speaker 2: the moment. The time is twenty nine minutes after five,
17:00
Speaker 2: Ryan Bridge, Green MP, Darlene Taner, here is some a
17:04
Speaker 2: couple of numbers to throw at you this morning. One
17:06
Speaker 2: hundred and fifteen that is the number of days that
17:08
Speaker 2: she has been suspended. That is half of her political career. Yeah,
17:13
Speaker 2: half her political career. One hundred and sixty eight thousand dollars.
17:16
Speaker 2: That's her salary. Forty thousand that's the number of dollars
17:21
Speaker 2: that she's earned while on suspension. Zero the amount of
17:25
Speaker 2: detail we've got from Chloe and co. On what exactly
17:28
Speaker 2: that investigation has found. But today is d Day, apparently
17:32
Speaker 2: we will get answers on Darlene Tanna.
17:46
Speaker 1: News and Views you trust to start your days early
17:50
Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture
17:53
Speaker 1: Beds and a Playing Store.
17:55
Speaker 2: News talk said be twenty four minutes away from six o'clock.
18:09
Speaker 2: You'll listen the Newstalks. They'd be with me, Ryan Bridge,
18:11
Speaker 2: Great to have you with me, speaking of slowing things down. Consultation.
18:16
Speaker 2: Who loves that? No one ever loves consultation. But the
18:20
Speaker 2: government's doing more of it. Simeon Brown actually put an
18:23
Speaker 2: email yesterday to National Party supporters. Someone forwarded that to me,
18:28
Speaker 2: and this is about reversing the blanket ban on the
18:30
Speaker 2: speed limits, that whole thing. Didn't we just vote them in?
18:34
Speaker 2: Can't they just do it? Do? We need to consult
18:36
Speaker 2: people about everything every time we want to do something,
18:40
Speaker 2: surveys and submissions and all that kind. It used to
18:43
Speaker 2: infuriate me when the council would build these dumb cycle ways.
18:46
Speaker 2: And I'm not an anti cycleway person. In every instance
18:50
Speaker 2: there are good cycle ways and bad cycle ways, but
18:53
Speaker 2: when they do dumb ones and spend millions of dollars
18:56
Speaker 2: and there's nobody on them, it's very frustrating. And then
18:59
Speaker 2: they would turn around and they would say to you,
19:02
Speaker 2: that's what the community he wanted. Really did they who
19:06
Speaker 2: exactly are you referring to there? And they'll say on
19:09
Speaker 2: ninety percent of people who responded to our survey said
19:13
Speaker 2: they support a safer cycle way. Okay, did you tell
19:16
Speaker 2: them that that cycle way would come at the cost
19:19
Speaker 2: of ten car parks and their local dairy and florist.
19:23
Speaker 2: You know how much context did you put around this
19:27
Speaker 2: question that you were asking? So anyway, there's consultation going
19:30
Speaker 2: out this week, I should say on the reversing the
19:35
Speaker 2: blanket band for speed limits which Labor brought in sim
19:38
Speaker 2: and Brown emailing his supporters to say submit this way.
19:42
Speaker 2: Apparently the Greens emailing their supporters to say submit that way.
19:47
Speaker 2: How useful is it really? I asked. It's twenty two
19:50
Speaker 2: away from six m Bridge and we're going to christ
19:53
Speaker 2: Church now with Claire Sherwood, who's with us this morning? Clear,
19:56
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning. What's happening?
19:59
Speaker 8: Well, this is an interesting story. There's been a christ
20:01
Speaker 8: Rich barber who's had this big dream Ryan of opening
20:04
Speaker 8: a mini adult amusement park. Unfortunately though, that has fallen
20:08
Speaker 8: by the wayside. So Beny's barbershop owner Ben Scott had
20:12
Speaker 8: been planning to turn an eighteen hundred square meter hangar
20:15
Speaker 8: in Wigram into this center of fun for all ages.
20:19
Speaker 8: But despite construction being about eighty percent complete. Both of
20:23
Speaker 8: his businesses have now gone into liquidation. He did try
20:26
Speaker 8: to crowdfund to meet the bills that were due, but
20:29
Speaker 8: that failed to hit its goal. On the Facebook page
20:32
Speaker 8: over the weekend, Scott confirmed the barbershop will continue operating
20:35
Speaker 8: business as usual under some new management and he will
20:38
Speaker 8: be an employee. He says a lot of learning has
20:41
Speaker 8: come from it. He acknowledges he gave it as all,
20:43
Speaker 8: but he did come up short.
20:45
Speaker 2: It sounds like how's the weather today, Claire Frosty.
20:48
Speaker 8: Out there to start, but will clear to a fine day,
20:50
Speaker 8: some light winds. The maximum is twelve and overnight low
20:53
Speaker 8: of minus one.
20:54
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. It's got to Cullum in Dunedin.
20:58
Speaker 2: Cullum Ah, I'm doing this again one second. Colum there
21:02
Speaker 2: you are. Good morning, Hello, Hello morning Ryan.
21:07
Speaker 9: Well, the city's recovering from a big Test match weekend.
21:11
Speaker 9: It's sold out to a Test match weekend, proving to
21:14
Speaker 9: be a win for both the All Blacks and the
21:16
Speaker 9: local hospitality businesses. The city hosting the first Test of
21:21
Speaker 9: the year at Forsyth Bass Stadium Saturday night, twenty thousand
21:24
Speaker 9: fans coming to town, so as normal, the city was
21:27
Speaker 9: heaving both Friday and Saturday nights or big nights for
21:31
Speaker 9: the bars and restaurants around town. Pub owner is welcoming
21:34
Speaker 9: the big events. One popular city pub, the Crake Irish Tavern,
21:37
Speaker 9: says they were busy from when the doors first open
21:40
Speaker 9: right through until closing and it was a much needed boost,
21:42
Speaker 9: they say to the local hospitality industry and what is
21:46
Speaker 9: normally an off peak tourism season. Looks like the fans
21:49
Speaker 9: will well behaved to Ryan Police reporting just the one
21:51
Speaker 9: arrest for disorderly behavior.
21:53
Speaker 2: Fantastic in the weather today.
21:54
Speaker 9: Comem fine for us today a fresh westerly and eleven fantastic.
22:00
Speaker 2: Go to Wellington. Now we've got mex toll on the line.
22:03
Speaker 2: Max opposition at Victoria University to an anti trans event.
22:08
Speaker 10: Yeah, this is so called women's right speaker Sal Grover
22:13
Speaker 10: who's appearing at vix Pibutier Campus tomorrow. She's a business woman,
22:17
Speaker 10: a woman previously worked in the film industry in Australia.
22:20
Speaker 10: She's talking about the legal ramification for transgender related legal cases.
22:27
Speaker 10: She well, for much of her career has spoken out
22:30
Speaker 10: against a trans women being included in certain spaces. Students
22:36
Speaker 10: are going to protest. They don't like that this is
22:38
Speaker 10: happening on campus. The university says, look, anyone can book
22:41
Speaker 10: an events at Rutherford House. They're not in control of that.
22:44
Speaker 10: Security staff will be there. This is just another free
22:47
Speaker 10: speech issue. We've had quite a bit of student outcry
22:49
Speaker 10: lately at VICAR around free speech, most recently a panel discussion.
22:52
Speaker 10: I'm not sure if you remember. Some students thought had
22:55
Speaker 10: too many right leaning speakers on the panel. Two was
22:58
Speaker 10: too many. Apparently LGBT group You Need Q has spoken
23:02
Speaker 10: out against this. They say there's a big issue at
23:04
Speaker 10: play around a lack of vetting for university events.
23:08
Speaker 2: All right, Max, how's the weather today, Julie.
23:11
Speaker 10: Start, but should just be partly cloudy? Would like wednes
23:13
Speaker 10: High thirteen in the city.
23:15
Speaker 2: Thank you very much, And we're coming out to my
23:17
Speaker 2: new best friend at news took CV never, who is
23:20
Speaker 2: with us in our Aukland studio.
23:21
Speaker 11: Good morning, Good morning, and welcome to News Talks. You'd
23:25
Speaker 11: be on your first day, Ryan. We just thought, you know,
23:28
Speaker 11: we're throwing you a bit of a party. And I've
23:30
Speaker 11: walked and we've got a theme. I am Queen of Costumes.
23:33
Speaker 11: So because you only got married listened two weeks ago.
23:36
Speaker 11: I've got my Mother of the Groom sash and lots
23:39
Speaker 11: of other little we you know, paraphernalia here on on
23:43
Speaker 11: my costumes.

Speaker 2: Here you've got a flag. I've got a flag. You
23:47
Speaker 2: look beautiful.
23:47
Speaker 11: I didn't know which one to choose, so I thought
23:49
Speaker 11: I'll bring them all in and food.
23:51
Speaker 2: I understand that there's food.
23:52
Speaker 11: There's muffins, and they're not stale, they're fresh. So that
23:56
Speaker 11: means you're my best friend because people here, like Mike Hosking,
23:59
Speaker 11: everyone used to get reduced to clear muths. But you
24:02
Speaker 11: are very very popular. But yes, so consultation on the
24:07
Speaker 11: future representation in Auckland that opens today. The initial proposal
24:11
Speaker 11: includes boundary changes for the Central Auckland and nor shore
24:13
Speaker 11: Wards and also the Rodney Local Board areas. There's going
24:16
Speaker 11: to be a final decision Ryan, that's going to be
24:19
Speaker 11: made in September.
24:20
Speaker 2: Fantastic, Nev, great to have you here. It has just
24:23
Speaker 2: gone eighteen away from six o'clock here on News Talk
24:26
Speaker 2: said b Coming up next, we are Live to the
24:29
Speaker 2: UK Gavin Gray standing by with the latest on the
24:31
Speaker 2: French election. As you went closer to retirement, it's natural
24:36
Speaker 2: to start thinking about your finances. Those questions that pop
24:39
Speaker 2: up from time to time, especially with today's cost of living.
24:42
Speaker 2: How much will I need? Have I got enough? How
24:44
Speaker 2: long will it last? These can be pretty confronting questions,
24:48
Speaker 2: but you're not alone. They're on most people's minds as
24:50
Speaker 2: retirement approaches. And while it's difficult to answer these questions
24:54
Speaker 2: for sure, the expert team at Milford can help guide
24:58
Speaker 2: you in the right direction. With Melford's war winning investment expertise.

Speaker 2: a disclosure statement. Head to milfordsset dot com slash retire Well.
25:17
Speaker 2: That's Milford Asset dot com slash retire.
25:20
Speaker 1: Well International Correspondence with Insit Eye Insurance, Peace of Mind
25:25
Speaker 1: for New Zealand Business.
25:28
Speaker 2: Fourteen to six Now and Gavin Gray's with Us Live
25:31
Speaker 2: from the UK. The French election big turnout indeed.
25:36
Speaker 12: Looks like it, Ryan, Yeah, so a very important next
25:39
Speaker 12: sort of fifteen minutes when the polls will close and
25:42
Speaker 12: then we should get some sort of an exit poll
25:46
Speaker 12: coming out shortly after that, and then of course we
25:50
Speaker 12: will know what's going on in the hours after that.
25:52
Speaker 12: This is a huge moment for France. The National Rally Party,
25:56
Speaker 12: the far right party got one in three of the
25:59
Speaker 12: votes of the first round last week. But since then
26:03
Speaker 12: the left wing and centrist parties have got together to
26:05
Speaker 12: try and basically some of them stand down in order
26:09
Speaker 12: to hope that their supporters will then support the other
26:11
Speaker 12: left wing or centrist candidates to freeze out the far right.
26:15
Speaker 12: The question is will it work. The tempers have been
26:17
Speaker 12: frayed over the last week with dozens of reports of
26:21
Speaker 12: verbal and physical assaults of both candidates and activists and
26:25
Speaker 12: those putting up posters and so forth. So lots of
26:28
Speaker 12: police as on the street, thirty thousand police deployed, five
26:32
Speaker 12: thousand of them in Paris alone. Things very very tense there,
26:35
Speaker 12: so obviously we'll need to keep up to date with that.
26:38
Speaker 12: Here in the UK we've just had our election, of course,
26:41
Speaker 12: and already the new Prime Minister, Sakirstana visiting the Four Nations,
26:45
Speaker 12: so going currently up in Scotland, going to Northern Ireland
26:49
Speaker 12: and to Wales as well, trying to sort of, as
26:51
Speaker 12: it were, seal the deal and to show the irrespective
26:54
Speaker 12: leaders of those different places that he is looking for
26:58
Speaker 12: a conversation and support and co operation very quickly.
27:01
Speaker 2: What is wrong with a kiss? This French cyclist has
27:04
Speaker 2: been fine.
27:05
Speaker 12: Ah yeah, what a good question. So this is referring
27:09
Speaker 12: to the Tour de France. There was a time trial
27:12
Speaker 12: when one of the riders, a French cyclist, was quite
27:14
Speaker 12: cycling quite near his home and out pop supporters and
27:18
Speaker 12: his wife, and it was a time trial if it
27:19
Speaker 12: just stopped briefly to kiss his wife. And he's been
27:23
Speaker 12: fined two hundred Swiss francs roughly three hundred and eighty
27:27
Speaker 12: New Zealand dollars for the privilege, saying that the sports
27:30
Speaker 12: governing body said it was unseemly or inappropriate behavior during
27:34
Speaker 12: the race and damage to the image of the sport.
27:37
Speaker 12: Who'd have thought it ran?
27:38
Speaker 2: It's a lot of money. I hope it was a
27:39
Speaker 2: French kiss. Thanksgevin over Us from the UK. Bryan Bridge right.
27:48
Speaker 2: It has just gone now twelve minutes away from six
27:50
Speaker 2: o'clock and it's looking more likely the fast tracked roads
27:53
Speaker 2: of national significance are going to be told. Procurement and
27:57
Speaker 2: construction will start in the next three years, but time
28:00
Speaker 2: frames and costs are still not yet known. So what
28:04
Speaker 2: does it mean for our freight and transport companies joining
28:07
Speaker 2: me now? Is Transporting New Zealand Interim Chief Executive Dom Calasi, Dom,
28:12
Speaker 2: Welcome to the show. What do you make of this?
28:14
Speaker 2: The fact that, I mean, we always knew that there
28:16
Speaker 2: was going to be tolls? Right? Does this surprise you.
28:20
Speaker 3: Morning, Ryan? Well, successly. Absolutely, it doesn't surprise us. It's
28:24
Speaker 3: been signaled for a long time.
28:27
Speaker 2: And how do you feel about it? You'd rather the
28:29
Speaker 2: roads would get built, presumably.
28:32
Speaker 3: Absolutely, Look the efficient movement afraid it's essential and is
28:38
Speaker 3: connecting communities, which allows people to connect. And we are
28:43
Speaker 3: in a bit of a hole at the moment.
28:45
Speaker 9: You know.
28:45
Speaker 3: The AAS reckons that the cost of congestion and ortment
28:49
Speaker 3: alone is over a billion dollars and our current routing
28:53
Speaker 3: system simply can't cope and we need to do something
28:55
Speaker 3: about it sooner rather than later. And there's clear evidence
28:59
Speaker 3: that Tolan can help there.
29:00
Speaker 2: There's a whole list of expressways and motorways and we
29:06
Speaker 2: won't go through them all, but belfast to Pegasus for example,
29:09
Speaker 2: the hawks By Expressway. You've got Walkworth to Wellsford. Do
29:13
Speaker 2: you guys have a priority list?
29:18
Speaker 3: We think the list that has been provided is actually
29:22
Speaker 3: pretty good. You know, there's always going to be more
29:25
Speaker 3: than what can be done at any good time, but
29:28
Speaker 3: we can that list is pretty good.
29:30
Speaker 2: Do you have a preference in terms of order? Because
29:33
Speaker 2: from what I have read, from what the minister's statement,
29:36
Speaker 2: it sounds like they're going to try and do them
29:38
Speaker 2: all at once.
29:40
Speaker 3: Oh right, sorry, Now, I think doing them in parallel
29:45
Speaker 3: is the way to do it.
29:47
Speaker 2: Why is that.
29:50
Speaker 3: Because given all the parts, construction and consenting, it's all
29:55
Speaker 3: a complex approach, right, And if you only did one
30:00
Speaker 3: at a time, right, then it's going to actually take
30:03
Speaker 3: much longer to deliver them all than doing them in parallel.
30:08
Speaker 2: How much do you think Let's assume let's look into
30:11
Speaker 2: the future and think of a beautiful world where all
30:13
Speaker 2: of these projects have been completed. How much more efficient
30:16
Speaker 2: would we be would you be?
30:19
Speaker 9: Oh?
30:20
Speaker 3: Sorry, I haven't done the math on it, but it
30:23
Speaker 3: would be significant. I mean, just off the top of
30:26
Speaker 3: my head, right, in a lot of those areas, there
30:30
Speaker 3: will be not just hours, but tens of hours every
30:35
Speaker 3: year saved for truckers, right, And if you talk a
30:39
Speaker 3: rough number of say two hundred to two hundred and
30:42
Speaker 3: fifty dollars an hour, that's what truck and cough right,
30:46
Speaker 3: then you're talking about millions of dollars.
30:50
Speaker 2: Don thanks very much for your time. That's done, CLASSI.
30:52
Speaker 2: He's the Transport of New Zealand Interim Chief Executive talking
30:55
Speaker 2: about the word there that and then the Minister hasn't said,
30:58
Speaker 2: just so that we're clear, every single road of national
31:02
Speaker 2: significance that's been fast tracked will be told. He's just
31:05
Speaker 2: saying the government is very open to it and if
31:08
Speaker 2: NZTA recommends it, then basically they'll they'll do it. And
31:13
Speaker 2: wouldn't you rather have some wouldn't you rather have a decent, safe,
31:17
Speaker 2: quick road to drive on? I suppose it's the question.
31:21
Speaker 2: It is eight minutes away from six.
31:28
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge, New for twenty twenty four on early edition

31:48
Speaker 2: good morning. So what are we looking at? Well, you
31:50
Speaker 2: have been looking. I have a question.
31:52
Speaker 13: Now I have a I have a question.
31:53
Speaker 2: Did you vacuum? No? I didn't that vankims in the corner.
31:57
Speaker 2: It should be vacuum. I didn't think I had to. Andrew,
32:00
Speaker 2: I was relaxing because you were here. You'll have you
32:03
Speaker 2: had fun. I've had fun. I've had fun. There are
32:06
Speaker 2: so many buttons to press. Yes, that's true. I was
32:08
Speaker 2: going to say it's like trying to fine. I have fine,
32:10
Speaker 2: But it's not like that at all. I haven't been listening.
32:12
Speaker 2: I've been watching Lulu Soun at Wimbledon. She's just lost
32:16
Speaker 2: the second set. It's now one set. All.
32:18
Speaker 13: This woman has gone further Wimbledon than any other woman
32:20
Speaker 13: from New Zealand before Belinda corp Will made it to
32:23
Speaker 13: the semis of the Australian Open. So this is a
32:24
Speaker 13: great thing. So I happy watching a bit of tennis.
32:26
Speaker 13: But from what I hear, your show is just fine.
32:29
Speaker 2: And you've got you are going to have actually the
32:31
Speaker 2: jump on the French election too.
32:33
Speaker 13: Yeah, well that's all happening. Catherine Field is going to
32:35
Speaker 13: join us from France. We've got Christi de Luxan off
32:37
Speaker 13: to Washington today, so Stephen Holey will talk about his challenges.
32:40
Speaker 13: And as you were just talking about Simmey, I was
32:43
Speaker 13: listening to see I lied. You were just talking about
32:45
Speaker 13: simmyon Brown and the Seven Roads of National Significance, where
32:48
Speaker 13: you're talking to Simeon about the tolls, how they're going
32:52
Speaker 13: to do it, how they're going to pay up front,
32:53
Speaker 13: how much it's going to cost. When's it going to
32:55
Speaker 13: start where we have a road by the end of
32:56
Speaker 13: their first term of power. So yeah, roads.
33:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I think, great idea. I would rather have
33:03
Speaker 2: a road than not have a road, and I would
33:05
Speaker 2: rather pay. You know, I don't I don't mind paying
33:07
Speaker 2: a little bit for it. The one complaint I have
33:09
Speaker 2: about tolls is that they send you every time you
33:12
Speaker 2: drive through them, they send you a piece of paper
33:13
Speaker 2: to tell you that you and they send you one
33:16
Speaker 2: for going that way and one for coming back. That's right, No, No.
33:21
Speaker 13: In Australia, they go They've got a little thing that
33:23
Speaker 13: goes up on your on your on your sun vis
33:25
Speaker 13: it goes bing binging, and every time you hear ping,
33:28
Speaker 13: there's more money coming out of your bank account going
33:30
Speaker 13: to the government.
33:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, but at least it's not like you know, you're
33:33
Speaker 2: not paying for paper every time, you know, ping ping.
33:37
Speaker 13: Well, look, get used to ping, ping ping. It's a
