Speaker 1 (00:04):
Good afternoon. I'm Malcolm Jordan and this is your midday
news fixed for Friday, September twelve. Secondary teachers have voted
overwhelmingly to reject the government's latest payoffer and take partial
strike action from Monday. PPTA members will not teach, instruct
or supervise students in year twelve and thirteen on Monday,
Year eleven Tuesday, Year ten Wednesday, and Year nine on Thursday.
(00:27):
Rosie Leishman reports.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
President Chris Ambercrombie says they're facing once in a generation
changes to the curriculum. He says they need as many
experienced teachers in the classroom as possible. Abercrombie says teachers
don't take strike action lately and would much rather be
continuing to teach in a settled environment.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Meanwhile, Education Minister Ericus Stanford says rural schools have been
calling for a new teacher bonding scheme to attract and
retain teachers. One hundred and eighty five qualified teachers can
be recruited to eligible schools under the scheme starting next month.
The Secretary for Maori Development says he's glad and independent
(01:07):
reviews brought sunlight to allegations of Farno Aora funds being misused.
The review looked into whether the taxpayer dollars went to
a Farno Aura back to add urging people to sign
up to the Maori role. A contract with Pacifica Futures
Limited was also investigated to ensure that no public funds
went to the Moana Pacifica rugby team. Dave Samuels says
(01:29):
the reviewer did make recommendations but didn't uphold the allegations.
There's no evidence that any misuse of Farno or funds
as alleged has been found. Police are raising safety concerns
about a major demonstration that's expected to close the Auckland
Harbor Bridge southbound for several hours tomorrow. Tens of thousands
(01:51):
of pro Palestine protesters are expected to cross the bridge.
The Transport Agency says the highway will be closed southbound
between Esmond Row and Fanshaw Street and will be down
to three lanes northbound from nine am relieving. Whitemata District
Commander Stefan Sega says the large numbers taking part could
pose a significant safety risk to themselves and others, particularly
(02:14):
in bad weather. The christ Church Cathedral rebuild could be
the last milestone for the Garden City to thrive. Work
will begin next year to complete the nave entranceway tower
and restore the Rose window. This halves the funding to
about forty million dollars, with the Anglican Church pledging another
twenty million. Reinstatement. Director Mark Stewart told My Costing they've
(02:37):
been working on these plans for years.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
We've done all the estimates.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
We sort of know how to fecta. We've got all
the design underway and we've had to reconsider that now
in the stage to proach too, but none the left.
We've got a robust plan. The New Zealand Post is
resuming most services to the US today after tariff changes
in August four stay temporary suspension. Gift sending to the
US is available through select stores with digital customs forms.
(03:02):
More detailed item descriptions and contact information are now needed
to meet US customs requirements. To sport, pro Palestinian protesters
might force an unprecedented abandonment of a grand cycling tour
as they continue to heckle the Israel Premier Tech Team.
Organizers claim the final three stages will be completed. Premier
(03:24):
League club Chelsea has been hit with seventy four charges
by the Football Association related to alleged breaches of regulations
in South Africa's reference to their seven to one forwards
backs rugby reserves bench as a bomb squad has extended
from the men to the women's side for Sunday's World
Cup quarterfinal against the Black Ferns. I'm Malcolm Jordan. That's
(03:46):
your latest news fix. We'll be back with the next
update at five pm from the newstalk ZB newsroom.
