Speaker 1 (00:06):
Good morning, I'm never ready, Manu, and this is your
morning news fix for Tuesday, twenty second of July. In
this update, hopes Wykattle University's new medical school has what
it needs to train more doctors cabinets, putting almost eighty
three million dollars into the two hundred and thirty million
dollar project. The school will focus largely on primary care
(00:29):
and train one hundred and twenty doctors a year. College
of GP's medical director, Doctor Luke Bradford says there's been
talk about whether there's enough resources, but plannings underway.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
WHYKAT have really worked on this and have aimed to
have rural hubs with their students more based in the
rural communities. It means the towns doctors will have to
step up a little bit and hopefully teach a bit more.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
But Labour's health spokesperson Aisha Verral says the government needs
to release the costings quickly and adds it's not clear
how this is better than the alternative. The government's promising
to proactively release the information. The latest rise in inflation
may be hitting lower income households more than others. Headline
annual inflation has risen to two point seven percent in
(01:14):
the year to June. Council of Trade Union's economist Craig
Rennie says people on lower incomes are seeing costs rise
faster because they're spending more of the income on rates, rents,
power and food. He points to CTU research which suggests
more than half of workers as seeing their incomes decline
in real terms. Rebel IRSAYS say they're prepared to leave
(01:37):
if the National Body isn't prepared to reverse changes to
its constitution. An Auckland District RSA newsletter obtained by our
newsroom reveals a number of clubs as seeking a judicial
review in the High Court their calling for the RSAYS
constitution in April to be reversed, alleging the process was unlawful.
President Graham Gibson says the National Body needs to listen
(02:00):
to its members and is his RSAYS will walk and
they're prepared to create a new veteran support organization. The
government's considering getting the TAB to help pay for rehoming
racing dogs as the sport winds down. It's estimated about
fifteen hundred dogs will need to be rehomed when racing
is banned in July next year. Racing Minister Winston Peters
(02:23):
says a plan may compensate owners and trainers for the
cost of dealing with dogs as they're rehomed. He says
that won't extend to lost revenue from not being able
to race fares for the well being of children with
additional learning needs as those working with them contend with
months of stalled contract negotiations. Thousands of unionized field staff,
(02:44):
service managers and support workers are striking for two hours
this morning before working to rule over the next month.
Nzdi ted Eldore Governance Group member and speech language therapist
Connor Fraser says growing numbers of children are waiting more
than a year for services. It just means that we
get stretched really thin and kids don't get as much
(03:06):
a quality service anymore in those interventions that they need
to make a difference over their time at school. In sport,
Silverfern's coach, Dame Nolan Todor, has thrown her support behind
Netball New Zealand's decision to change the team selection eligibility criteria.
Overseas based players can now be considered through a formal
exemption process. United States President Donald Trump has threatened to
(03:30):
block a deal for the Washington Commander's new NFL stadium.
If the American football team refuses to revert to its
original Redskins name despite historical racist overtones, the Warriors are
establishing a league training academy in the Queensland city of Logan.
I'm never retty, Manu. That's your latest news. FOKS will
(03:51):
be back with the next update at midday from the
newstalk ZB news room.
