Speaker 1 (00:04):
On the news talks edby Newsroom. This is newsfacs. In
this update, local councils now have just over a year
to make their voices heard about mari ward referendums. The
vast majority of councils forty three out of forty five,
have voted to keep the wards and will hold polls
in the twenty twenty five local elections. Central Hawks Bay
mayor Alex Walker says there'll be a lot of conversations
(00:26):
on this, both locally and nationally.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
It's a shame that we have got to this point,
particularly on this kind of representation, when other kinds of
representations don't go to a referendum decision. I think that's
unfar just in itself.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Labour Party leader Chris Hipkins says it's time for a mature,
reasoned conversation about tax. The opposition leader says his party
thinks we need to broaden our tax pace beyond GST
and PAYE. Mister Hipkins says we're not going to be
able to afford all the things people want the government
to deliver if we don't have this discussion.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
If you look at this situation around the health system,
for example, it's clear that the health system is going
to require a more funding. That funding ultimately has to
come from somewhere.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
The top UK and US spy chiefs have made their
first public appearance together. Six IS Sir Richard Moore and
the CIA's William Burns say they stand together resisting an
assertive Russia and Putin's war of aggression in Ukraine. Mister
Burns says the end of the war will ultimately come
down to political will. He says it'll take leaders on
both sides to recognize enough's enough and make some difficult compromises.
(01:32):
A fifteen year old Foxton boy who lost his leg
at a boy racer meat gone wrong, says he's getting
used to his new reality.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Holmes was struck when filming his sister's partner doing Burnout's
when a car lost control and landed the teenager in
a ditch. His leg was amputated below the knee and
he's been using a wheelchair and crutches since June, but
Holmes says he's just excited to get on with life
and it hasn't shaken his love of cars.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Drove Munds Corolla the other day with the crutch on
the gas pedal just went up and down the driveway
going pretty excited.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
That's news. In sport, the All Whites have been beaten
three nil by Mexico and their international friendly in Pasadena,
New Zealand struggled to make a dent in the Mexican
defense all game, with only two shots at goal and
none on target. The All Blacks are lamenting a lack
of killer instinct out wide following their eighteen twelve last
(02:26):
to South Africa. In Cape Town, New Zealand was held
tryless for the first time since twenty eighteen. Struggling to
create try scoring opportunities, Will Jordan made a rare start
at fullback and admits after a strong start the back
line lost some shape in the second half.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Well, I thought we could have been a little bit
better and they kind of knocked out all that three
inchimeter zone we got in there. So yeah, nicely some
pictures there, but yeah, let me give you a bit
more involved as the game one.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
The All Blacks next player Australia in a fortnight. That's sport.
