Speaker 1 (00:04):
Good afternoon. I'm Malcolm Jordan and this is your midday
news fixed for Monday, the tenth of November. Tapati Mali's
National Council is expelling MPs Mighty Ameno, Kappa Kingi and
Takuta Feris from the party. The decision made last night
takes effect today. The National Board opted against other options
like warning or suspending the MPs CO leaders. Rahwerri Waititi
(00:26):
and Debi Narowa Paka say the past six and a
half weeks of party infighting needed to stop here, to
come to an end, and so we've brought it to
an end. We must move on. It was really important
to us as a movement in today and I personally
that we regained the confidence of Tanaza Tariti. Rain has
arrived at Ruapehu as a massive blaze continues to devastate
(00:47):
Tonguarero National Park. The fires ripped through two and a
half thousand hectares of the heritage area, with hikers flown
out and fuck a Papa village evacuated. Planes and helicopters
can't battle the fire from the air because of mist
and low cloud, but ground crews continue. The heralds Mike
Scott says rain is setting in. The cloud's quite low,
(01:07):

I drove in here it was quite dark, but you
could smell the smoke that's wafting over the town here
at one Marino. The Justice Minister says New Zealand's soaring

The government's new action plan is eyeing up importation, distribution

at all costs because some people just one SHOT's enough
to lead to a decade's long spiral. Chris Luxon says
there's a conversation to be had about state assets sales
heading into next year's election. Treasury is calling for better
(01:51):
management of state assets and liabilities. It's warning that the
Crown's finances are unsustainable, with the debt being used to
cover operating costs. The Prime Minister told Mike Hosking New
Zealand may need to consider asset recycling, something many countries
like Singapore already do. The Cook Islands could slip away
from New Zealand's influence as diplomatic tensions rise. Foreign Minister
(02:15):
Winston Peters has now stopped almost thirty million dollars in support,
citing a breach of trust. It stems from Cook's Prime
Minister Mark Brown signing a strategic partnership with China without
consulting New Zealand. International relations expert Stephen Hoadley says is picking.
The Cooks won't give in and instead continue to turn
(02:35):
to China. You're going to float a thirty million dollar
loan from China's Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and go further
into debt to China. The Police minister says he empathizes
with officers after a former deputy police commissioner's guilty plea,
Jevin mcskimmings admitted having material on work devices including child
(02:56):
sexual exploitation and bestiality. Mark Mitchell says he's port's the
commissioner beginning work on revoking mcskimmings police medals. He says
this is a really bad look for police and staffer
