Speaker 1 (00:04):
Good afternoon. I'm Wendy Petree and this is your afternoon
news fixed for Wednesday, the eleventh of September. Carmala Harris
has slammed Donald Trump's abortion stance at today's presidential debate
in Pennsylvania. Abortion sits among the top issues for voters
heading into the November election. Trump has defended his support
for the six week abortion ban and his role in
(00:24):
the Supreme Court overturning abortion rights.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
I did a great service in doing it.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
It took courage to do it, and the Supreme Court
had great courage in doing it.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
And I give tremendous credit to those six justices.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Harris says what she's calling Trump abortion bans are immoral.
She says she would proudly reinstate abortion protections if elected president.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
One does not have to abandon their faith or deeply
held beliefs to agree the government and Donald Trump certainly
should not be telling a woman what to do with
her body.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
White Os mayor says Hawk's Bay Regional Council needs to
be held a muntable for flooding. In June this year,
the government report into the East Coast floods concludes urgent
action as needed. The review in part points the finger
at poor management of the River Mouth and Bar by
the Hawks Bay Regional Council and the Waidoa District Council.
Mayor Craig Little rejects this and says it was the
(01:18):
regional councils and competence that devastated the town.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
These people need to be somehow compensated for their loss
because they are suffering not only financially but meansly, and
it's just not fair on communities and people to do that.
I've never seen Wire in such a bad state.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
David Seymour's rejecting Justice Ministry advice has proposed Treaty principles
referendum which threatens social cohesion. A Cabinet paper outlines the
principles of civil government, EWE and HAPU rights and the
right to equality. Seymour disagrees with the advice the bill
shouldn't proceed.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
I believe that actually New Zealanders who must live under
these constitutional conditions should be able to have a say
about them.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
The paper includes a referendum provision which was not in
the coalition agreement, but to Prime Minister Chris lux and
assures it won't happen.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
It's a proposal and as you know, we're not supporting
it beyond first reading, so it's not going to go
further than that.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
The government throwing its hat in the artificial intelligence ring,
launching its own chatbot. Technology Minister Judith Collins has revealed
a new AI activator program aiming to increase business uptake
and support the sector more. She's also revealed the pilot
version of guv GPT, available in October. Colin says it'll
be the digital front door for the public to access
(02:31):
government information.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Ask it how to register a business, apply for R
and D grabs or tax incentives, and find out what
support is available for exporters, all in one place and
in a conversational manner.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
To sport in A host of former Olympians and sporting
icons have challenged the government to rethink its guidelines on
transgender athletes participating in sport, urging Sport New Zealand to
make a higher priority of fairness and safety for female
sports people. The All Whites have shocked the football world's
sixteenth ranked team with the late Ben Wayne goal earning
(03:07):
a one or draw with the United States in Cincinnati,
and basketball fans can now see the breakers on free
to wear television, with the Australian NBL switching Allegiance to
TV and Z Plus for the upcoming season. I'm Wendy Petrie.
That's your latest news fix. We'll be back with the
next update tomorrow morning from the News Talk Saidbeat Newsroom.
