Speaker 1 (00:04):
Good morning. I never ready Manu and this is your
morning news fix for Thursday, eighth of May. In this update,
te Party Maudi has been asked to give feedback on
a report and the conduct of three of its MPs
during the Treaty Principals Bill. Parliament's Privileges Committee met late
last night discussing a hakka performed by the party's co
(00:25):
leaders and MP Hanadrafitti MIPI clerk during the first vote
of the now dead bill. The parties apologized for leaking
committee proceedings on social media, which suggests might be Clark
could be suspended for up to seven days and the
co leaders were up to twenty one days. Committee cheered.
Judith Collins has confirmed a meeting next Wednesday, but can't
say if that'll be the end of it. I don't
(00:47):
want to predict anything really other than the sunrises the
morning it sets in the afternoon. Labour says legislation making
pay equity claims harder to lodge has been rushed through
the three coalition parties of past a bill halting all
claims and raising the threshold for new ones, and then
intend to make legislation clearer. Labour's Jantinetti says the lack
(01:08):
of a select committee process took voices away from women.
That is just unacceptable and the women in this country
are absolutely angry and livid. Finance Minister Nicola Willis says
clarity would be better for employees and employers.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
We are ensuring that there is a very clear process
at law for future claims, and we are doing that
clearly and simply and immediately.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
And the labor market remains in a sorry state. Despite
the unemployment rate holding at five point one percent, the
Council of Trade Union says we're still seeing high unemployment
among Maridian Pacific people. Economist Craig Rennie says employments also
falling in sectors like manufacturing, construction, retail, education, and healthcare.
Is says it's a tough time to be a young
(01:56):
person looking for work. At the moment now, somewhere in
the order of ninety six thousand, fifteen to twenty four
year olds who are not in work, education or training.
Organized crime experts want to see the government get rid
of crypto ATMs. A Ministerial Advisory Groups released its second
report criticizing New Zealand's response to modern crime and money laundering,
(02:18):
calling it inefficient. Emily Ancel reports.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
The group wants cash wages banned in industries at high
risk for laundering, such as construction and hospitality, and cash
made a less attractive option for criminals, acknowledging virtual currency
could fill the gap. It also calls for New Zealand
to follow the UK and ban cryptocurrency ATMs. The group
(02:41):
says the around two hundred existing machines have made transferring
money to offshore criminals even easier.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Voting is underway the Vatican on the selection of a
new pope. One hundred and thirty five cardinals from around
the world are locked inside the Systeine Chapel to choose
a successor to Pope Francis. There's no timeframe for how
long the process will take, but the last two papal
elections lasted two days and In sport, full former Silver
Fern skipper Anna Stanley has urged Netball New Zealand to
(03:11):
grant goal shoot Grace weck in exemption this season, despite
her current ineligibility for playing in Australia. Australia has snuffed
out flickers of hope for both the New Zealand men's
and women's basketball teams in the opening matches of their
respective three game series. In Adelaide, Jack Dewan has been
dismissed from his Formula One driving duties after failing to
(03:31):
score a point in six races for the Alping team
this season. He will be replaced in the seat by
Franco Colopinto. I'm never ready man who when the chin
