Speaker 1 (00:01):
The issues, the interviews and the insight. Andrew Dickens on
earlier this show with One Room Love where you Live
News Talks, it'd be well.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Good onrding to you and welcome to the program. Thank
you so much for choosing us. The first day of
spring and it's a wild and windy one, so today
on the show in the next hour, it's tough economically
for everyone, including students. Emergency grants are on the up.
How much and why. We'll have that story for you
in five minutes now the Blackburns have one against Japan
and Porta got a fiftieth. Andrew Ordison will look at
(00:31):
all the weekends sport in ten minutes time. What Neil
Quigley's exit from the chair of the Reserve Bank really
says about our country's financial management. And crime stats are down,
but are we just playing whack them all with the criminals.
We'll talk with Ruth Money just before six o'clock this morning.
We'll have that story. Correspondens from right around New Zealand
and the world. Gavin Gray from the UK and you
can have your say by sending us a text and
(00:53):
the text number is ninety two ninety two Small charge
applies at seven after.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Five the agenda.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
It's Monday, the first of September, and Putin and Modi
are in China for a security summit, with Modi meeting
xijimping for the very first time in seven years. The
gathering comes as Trump slaps tariffs on India over Russian
oil and Putin could be facing fresh sanctions on Ukraine
from as.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
The last CARS Summit's shure, it's attempting to rule Russian
President Putin in a bid to break the de facto
Sino Russian alliance against the US. While Trump recognizes that
punishing and ISO isolating Russia grow Moscow closer to Beijing,
he's not repeating that same mistake with India.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yes, speaking about that mistake with India, the New York
Times is reporting that the US wooed India for thirty
years and Trumps blind it up in just a few
months every summer with his tariffs as part of the
crackdown on Russia in the Ukraine and his loose use
of words. Now to the UK where they've locked in
their biggest They have a worship export deal nearly twenty
three billion New Zealand dollars worth of frigates and they're
(02:03):
sending them to Norway the country. The contract will support
four thousand jobs in Britain, two thousand at some shipyards
in Glasgow.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
It is a real commitment to British workers and to
our security, which will mean a combined fleet of British
Norwegian ships in the North Atlantic and the North Sea,
keeping us safe at home and secure aboard.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
And UK European correspondent garn Gray will have more on this.
Just after five forty five this morning, and Gritted Tomberg
has hopped on another boat heading for Gaza. It comes
as eighteen people were reported killed in attacks on Gaza today.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
This story is not at all about the mission that
we are about to embark.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
The story here is about Palestine.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
The story here is how people are being deliberately deprived
of the very basic means to survive.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
And that takes us to night.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Head of the headlines on early edition with Adre Dickins
and one roof Love where you Live News talks at me.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
So the government is pushing a plan that will provide
two million houses, principally in Auckland, and it's ruffled everyone's feathers,
particularly the good people of Mount Eden, who last week
had a very rowdy meeting. They're upset that consent rules
around transport hubs will be loosened, threatening what is known
as special characteristic housing zones. The one hundred year old
(03:25):
homes on quarder acre sections. They might be torn down
to build faceless boxing townhouses. That's their concern. Chris Bishop
is behind all of this, and I noticed over the
weekend he's been getting flack from the left but also
from the right, all over the social media and on
the right they believe that this will end out in
ghettos and it's part of some nefarious World Economic Forum
idea to group us all together to make us easier
(03:48):
to control. But it's actually ignoring the reality of what
happens to cities all over the world, whether it's Sydney's
Surrey Hills or Putney in London or Brooklyn and New York.
In every city houses were intensified. Now with time, they
too have become special characteristic housing zones and their own right,
and they have thriving communities and high street shopping and
no mega supermarkets and loads of hospitality. New Zealand cities
(04:12):
are different, and New Zealand cities have spent a long
time wallowing in a model that made our worst problems worse.
Traffic congestion, a soulless, lonely suburban life, a mode of
living where if you don't have a car, you're banned
from participating in life. And ask the elderly, which is
why they choose intensive living in their golden years. That's
what they go to retirement villages. So this new plan,
(04:35):
this trick will be to identify the houses that are
too special to redevelop, to keep the good people around,
eat and carm and you need to protect them. But
you also need to find areas where a little bit
of intensification will make life better for everyone, including business,
which is why Chris Buship wants more intensive housing around
transport hubs. And I'll leave the last word to Chris
(04:57):
on the social media over the weekend where he said, Yep,
me and my so called cooker mates have a radical
view of having built a five point five billion dollar
new rail link in Auckland that doubles rail capacity, we
should maybe build some housing around the glorious new stations.
And that makes sense to me as long as we
do it well. It's twelve after five Braves Andrew Dickens.
(05:21):
In fact, by the way, the number of applications granted
for emergency housing nationally has plummeted, the government has been
tightening restrictions. Data to the end of the journe obtained
by The Herald under the OIA shows that even though
the number of applications have dropped significantly, the number being
declined continues to rise, and in fact, more applications are
being declined than granted an Auckland, which is great for
(05:43):
our country's finances, but not so great if you're homeless
right now. And speaking of grants, tertiary institutions are giving
out grants to students thirty four million dollars in hardship
funding since COVID. So what's that about and where's the
money going? We'll have that story for your next This
is News Talk ZB.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
News and Views you trust to start your day. It's
early EDITIONIP with Andrew Dickins and One Room Love Where
you Live Newstalks b Well.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
The time is now five fourteen. Tertiary institutions have dissed
out thirty four million dollars in hardship fundings since COVID.
The peak was in twenty twenty one, where they gave
away nearly nine million dollars. They gave away just under
six million last year. So Aidan Donahue is Wellington's Victoria
University Students Association Engagement Vice President and is up early
for us good morning to aiden good morning. Why are
(06:36):
the students having to get the grants?
Speaker 7 (06:39):
Look beginning the grants because they're obviously in need of
extra money, and most of that we're seeing is in
regards to MG costs and other sort of financial stresses
like that.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
So let's look at the money. Aut says it's average
amount of assistants last year four hundred and fifty bucks.
Canterby University provides up to eight hundred dollars through its
students Association. So how much are the students really relying
on these grants?
Speaker 8 (07:06):
Many students.
Speaker 7 (07:07):
I've really looked into these grants to really get bias,
specially when I don't expected costs occurred. But it's really
just tough. It can really be a wide variety of
things that need a touchhip grunts.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
For okay, So, and what impact is this lack of
money and the cost of living crisis having on students studying?
Speaker 7 (07:31):
It's an immense impact. I mean, every hour that's worked
to make up that loss and money is an hour
that's not spent studying. And so for students it's a
really tough decision between working those extra hours or spending
that extra time on a better assignment or better you know,
engagement with the content of the course.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Things obviously got tough during COVID. Are things getting better now?
Speaker 7 (07:55):
Unfortunately?
Speaker 9 (07:56):
No.
Speaker 7 (07:57):
I'm from our winter energy grants which posed in August.
We've seen that the number of submissions received from twenty
twenty three to twenty twenty five is about tripled, from
about two hundred and sixty five applications in twenty twenty
three to nine hundred and forty applications in twenty twenty five.
And yeah, just to put those rown perspective, every application
(08:17):
is limited to one per address, and so that's nine
hundred and forty households looking for extra support during these
times during winter.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
All right, Well, we wish them all the best of
luck and I thank you so much. Aden Donahue from
the Victoria University of Wellington Students Association, he's the Engagement
Vice president. That's a mouthful to seventeen minutes after five
the Tamacke Makodo by election, by the way, is on us.
It's this weekend so far interesting. You have to say,
absolutely subterranean. And I wonder why, you know, with all
(08:50):
this debate about Malori representation at council and national level
running so hot, you'd think that Maori would value the
fact that they've got these Malordi seats, that they would
value representation and that they would flock to the polls
and exercise their democratic rights. But they aren't. And you
have to say, use it or lose it. Mary, Now
(09:10):
in the Formula one, if you've just woken up, Liam
Lawson got a puncture him and Carlos Sign's crash. Carlos
got a penalty. Liam was slightly to blame. He was
running fifth at the time, which was looking good frustratingly
for him. Had you came in third and actually got
into the podium for the first time in ages for
racing balls anyway, that happened overnight. Also, the Black Ferns
(09:31):
played in the Rugby World Cup. So we'll update all
the sport with Andrew Ordison. That is next here on
News TALKSB.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Andrew Dickens on earlier this show with one roof Love
Where you Live, News Talks b.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
By twenty Talk Sport Andrew Ordison, Good morning to you,
Greetings Andrew, just saying that the Black Ferns beat Japan
over the weekend. Porscha got her fiftieth.
Speaker 10 (09:52):
She did yeah overnight, so yeah, pusha woman. The highest
number of tries by New Zealander at test level. But
you feel like cruising to actually sixty two nineteen relatively
convincing it thirty eight five at halftime and they switched
over a number of players, so got I think all
the scare all thirty two members that squad have had
some game time in the first couple of games. So
they'll face Ireland out.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Of the side.
Speaker 10 (10:14):
Well, who's going to top Pool? See in those quarter
final standings.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Yeah that's good and yeah we will be in the
quarter final. It depended on France beating Brazil. They beat
Brazil eighty four to five, and then this is quite
a discrepancy. I mean you think about England some more.
Ninety two to three.
Speaker 10 (10:30):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know that it's a great advertisement,
but there you go.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I think England's looking very good. It's a bit of
a worry. Pretty strong speaking of rugby. Glorious scene south
and wins the Ramfully Shield for the first time since
twenty eleven. That's fantastic against against the Waycoat team pack
with all thatacks. I was surprised at that.
Speaker 10 (10:46):
I thought that we're the play its role and Southland
took advantage and good on them.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Shows you how beautiful the Ramfay Shield is and how
good MPC is.
Speaker 10 (10:56):
I love that. I love that when the shield works
its way around the country. I think they're up against
Canterbury for their first defense, so it may be moving
I think Canabary I think undefeated so far from their
five games, so yeah, it might be moving on again.
But nonetheless, you take this year when you can get it.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
And what was it Auckland have lost fave in a row.
Speaker 10 (11:13):
Yeah, yeah, it's not much success anywhere across the O night.
I think at the stage in the NPC.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Formula one, Liam got a punction from Carlos Simes. He
was sitting fifth at the time. But it must be
really frustrating for the end because Haja, his teammate, goes
and gets a podium for the first time in the
ages for so.
Speaker 10 (11:32):
Glorious gods Hadjya this morning as a result of that.
So yeah, I think Lawson finishing up in twelfth in
the end, I think significantly two for the championship. Ledder
Norris with that smoke coming out of his vehicle and
getting no points compared to McLaren teammate Lando Norris. Sorry, yeah,
Oscar Pastri Pastre is one verstap in second, but that's significant,
(11:56):
thirty four points now ahead of Norris. So heading to
the back end of the Sea's.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Great and the Warriors. Now, look, I have watched that
replay of that final disallowed try and that was never
a knock on. I can't see any touch on that ball.
But that's not the try telling Jason Ryles, Okay, yeah,
that's not much. It is that that's not the point.
The Warriors shouldn't be at that situation up against the
fourteenth scene seeing the team that late in the game.
Speaker 10 (12:23):
You're putting yourself in a vulnerable position, and I've got
to be if they're wanting ambitions of being a top fourteen,
which is now extremely slim heading into the last round,
you've got to take those opportunities or you've got to
put that sort of stuff beyond you in dominate in
those circumstances, so they haven't done that and what twenty
six twenty two in the end, but it's yea a
(12:44):
fascinating final week to see where they do end up.
You woudn't want to be playing Penrith, I would have thought.
But an interesting thing too. Apparently all four of those
games could be out of Sydney, so very few of
the last of the of the final series games or
the playoffs will be instantly by boil accounts.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Were interesting teams, so they'll hate that.
Speaker 10 (13:04):
That's their game, but they don't get the Grand Final regardless.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
You're a fisherman. No really, okay, fishing license has gone Saturday.
I'll talk about that a bit later because that's sport
in a stretch and a bizarre way. Indeed, indeed, thank
you Andrew His edit five twenty four.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
The early edition Full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by
News Talks it B.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
News Talks B It is five twenty six am ENTR
Dickens in for Ryan Bridge, who's on holiday. So we
had the resignation of the chair of the Reserve Bank
on Friday, which shows you just how badly our economy
has been run for the last six years. In my opinion.
So Neil quickly marched off into the sunset. At five
forty nine pm on a Friday, that's just late enough
for the news to miss the TV six pm bulletin.
(13:50):
That's an old PR trick in it, leaving the shock
value to dissipate over the weekend before the start of
play today. But there we go, and it's evidence to
me that successive governments National and Labor and the Reserve
Bank have failed to respect each other or realize that
even though they're independent, their actions combine and affect all
of us. So back in the COVID years, the Reserve
(14:12):
Bank reacted and made money essentially free, but the Labor
government wanted to be seen to be doing something, so
they started overspending. We all know this. They started throwing
borrowed money away. And the result of all this free
money and all this government spending was a superheated economy
that obviously crashed spectacularly and spectacularly quickly. So the Reserve
(14:33):
Bank then reacted again and made the money expensive again
to attack the overheating, put the interest rates up. But
the new government, this time National, again wanted to be
seen to be doing something, so they started canceling government expenditure,
and that ended out throwing us into an even deeper
economic funk than anyone had expected, including the Reserve Bank. Now,
in both scenarios, the governments didn't seem to realize what
(14:57):
was happening at the reserve bank of our economy, and
the Reserve Bank was too proud to take into account
the stupidity of governments. They were working against each other.
They're supposed to be independent, but that's all supposed to
be pulling together to help us. All government, i think,
needs to heed the advice that they give to local councils.
Just stick to your knitting. Your job is to do
(15:19):
the basics. Fund health and education and the police, and
build us stuff to help us do business, like roads
and rail and ferries. But you don't have to worry
about the price of butter or the number of supermarkets.
The market will do that, the Reserve Bank will do that.
And remember, governments, you need to keep the borrowing as
low as reasonable. Let the Reserve Bank worry about inflation
(15:41):
and the big financial stuff. But that hasn't happened the
last two terms, and that is what should happen. That's
how successful governments respect the independence of the Reserve Bank.
And that's how the last two amateur governments did not
us talk said be five twenty eight. The tech number
is ninety two twenty two. Here's something for you to
text about or constarting a bit of an experiment about
(16:04):
fortnightly rubbish collections. Could you cope with that? Is that
a good thing? Of course? That means that the cost
of collecting the rubbish has halved, yeah, because there's not
so many collections. But at the same time we could
end out with overflowing bins and you know, could you
cope with fortnightly rubbish collection? Is this something you need
(16:25):
and you want or is this something that's going to
turn our whole place into a cornmark? Send me a
text ninety two ninety two or talk more about that
a little bit later on. And the big news is
fishing licenses go on sale today first day of spring,
so a few details about that. And later on we've
got an update from the government on its crime reduction target,
so we'll talk to Ruth Money, the Chief Victim's advisor
(16:46):
to government about this. It's down twenty nine thousand. Then
when this government came into power, still one hundred and
fifty six thousand crimes in a year. That's four hundred
and fifty a day. Are you feeling safe for ninety two?
Ninety two is the number of the phone. This is
Early Edition. I'm Andrew Dickens and this is News Talk.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Hib the news you need this morning and the in
(17:46):
depth analysis Early Edition with Andrew Dickens and One Route
Love where you Live, News Talks at Bone start. That's
the way.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
When this is Olivia Deans and I've fallen in love
with her boy. She's from England over the last couple
of months. She's got a new album coming out in
weeks and I found out the other days she actually
(18:22):
came to the Laneway Festival last summer and I didn't
know that. And if I knew that, I would have
gone to the Laneway Festival just to see this woman.
She's great. Anyway, there we go, I Madrew Dickens, and
I mean for Ryan who's having holiday, because you do.
I can look at the weather. It is the first
day of spring and it is wild and windy, and
there's been problems at airports, but there we go. Today's
looking a little bit calmer than yesterday. And because it's
(18:43):
the first day of Spring first or September, it's the
day that the fishing licenses go on sale. They're on
sale for the fishing season that starts on October the first,
So if you're heading out to catch trout or salmon,
you need a license, no exceptions or there's trouble. You
can buy them online or in store from fishing game
end Zet or any approved agent. You can go down
to your local outdoor store. It's about one hundred to
(19:05):
one hundred and thirty dollars for a year. You can
get a day license for twenty to twenty five bucks
a day. The digital license is absolutely fine. You just
get a PDF you put it on your phone, but
if you do that you have to have a photo
ID with you to prove that you've got the license.
Family options are available if you have no license, no fishing.
Fishing without the right license is treated the same as
(19:26):
having none at all, so get it right. Land access
not included, so your license doesn't give you permission to
cross private land. Got to ask first, And if you're
in the Topol region, different rules. That area is managed
by dock so you need a separate permit. And once
you've done all of that there's absolutely no guarantee that
the fish will be biting. So good luck to you,
happy fishing, and here comes summer, Ryan Bridge. It's twenty
(19:49):
two to success. Go right around the country and to
the need in first and not target Kellen proct Good
morning to you, morning Andrew. We've got fines for environmental
breaches and they're rising.
Speaker 11 (19:59):
They are the Gum Moments amended these regulations, increasing fines
anywhere from one hundred to nine hundred percent. This followed
complaints that infringement fees were too low to be a
deterrent against non compliance. So in the twenty twenty four
to twenty five financial year, the Ottaga Original Council issued
sixty two environmental infringements. The OSCCS regulations had not been
(20:21):
amended since nineteen ninety nine. They say the fines hadn't
kept pace with inflation over time, and now they more
effectively distinguished between individuals and companies.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Loads of snow on the weekend in central Otago. How's
your weather today, Well, it's windy today.
Speaker 11 (20:36):
We've got a strong wind warning, gusts of westerly gusts
of one hundred CA's Fordneed and today's showers developing possibly
heavy the high fourteen.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Com I thank you Chris Sure we're good morning to you.
Good morning, you've got a christ Church in Duran's athlete
who's running six hundred and seventeen kilometers this week. Why
this is for.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
Every life lost to suicide last year. Andrew Morgan Bartram
is covering one hundred kilometers a day for the next
six days. He'll finish with seventeen kilometers on Sunday. He's
doing this via lapse around Hagley Park and it's all
to raise money for mental health charity I Am Hope.
Bartram says he has been training for a year for this,
often doing marathons after work in preparation. He says six
(21:18):
hundred and seventeen people dying by suicide is simply too high,
especially for New Zealand, and he wants to put a
spotlight on that. He is encouraging everyone to come down
to Hagley Park this week to join him.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Lovely park, but going round, round and round. Has got
to play on the blane. But it's a good, good court.
How's the weather for the run?
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Frosty to start today, but should be a bit nicer
for him later on. Some strong northwesterlies developing. The high
will be seventeen.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Max Toll joins us for Wellington, Hellimax, good morning. You
read the news very well last week. I heard you you.
I thank you very much. Great.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Now we've had a massive police cracked down in Manuwatu
over the weekend.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
Yeah. I we're seeing this more and more major police
operations stopping hundreds and hundreds of motorists that checkpoints across
the region over the weekend. In Palmerston, north fielding cops
were actually called in from Funganui, Tadanaki, Wellington, Hawks Bay
just to help with this. Dozens of infringements, some arrests,
some cars impounded a couple of months ago. We saw
the same thing in White and Mata a month ago
(22:16):
in Hamilton and Rota and we'll see where they go
next later this month. How's your whare there over car
strong northwesterlyas fifteen the high central and.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
I thank you. In Neiva Rich a man who joins
you from Walkland. Hello, Neva, My good.
Speaker 12 (22:29):
Morning, Andrew. Sorry I didn't turn my mic on.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
What apro I've only been here forty years?
Speaker 4 (22:33):
What the hell?
Speaker 2 (22:34):
So we've got a car pack on the waterfront. There
is also an at installation.
Speaker 12 (22:39):
Correct, this is quite unusual but very funny actually. So
it's a one hundred and ten meter long port building.
You're right on the waterfront now it's going to be
lit from top to bottom. This is starting at dusk today.
It's called the light Ship and it's on Key Street. Look,
it's a car park by day in an outdoor artwork
by night. So it's made up of nearly eight and
(23:00):
five hundred LEDs.
Speaker 11 (23:02):
The lights.
Speaker 12 (23:03):
It's a digital canvas and it's going to be for
free for anyone to view it. Yeah, it's quite cool.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Still blocks the view of the sea, which apparently is
quite pretty. There we are, but it's a car park,
which is a good thing.
Speaker 12 (23:16):
Yes, it is exactly we need those.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
How's the weather Okay?
Speaker 12 (23:19):
Partly cloudy, isolated showers, those strong southwesterlies easing this afternoon.
Seventeens a high but a lot better than that wild
weather yesterday.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
The airport was closing.
Speaker 12 (23:29):
But I know were you out at the airport.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
No, I was driving. I was driving all the way
through the Waycatto and it was wild.
Speaker 10 (23:35):
Oh yeah, crazy, how would have been shaking?
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Thank you Neva. Now speaking of Auckland. They're doing an
experiment to see a fortnight the rubbish collection might work,
and I thought it was interesting that the council has
chosen some of the poorest areas of the city to
run the trial. And of course they did because if
they ran this trial in remy Wear or ponsonby the
good people there, who if they were told they have
to store their rubbish for our fortnite, I think there
would be a revolution. So they're doing this in some
(23:57):
of the poor areas, and I wondered whether these overpaid
bureaucrats at the council have ever driven around the areas
that talking about on rubbish day, because already these places
are overflowing with rubbish with a one day a week collection,
so good look luck with that one. But there's some
places around the place that I am doing fortnitely. I
asked the question would you like a fortnightly rubbish collection?
Text through saying that Hamilton has fortnightly rubbish collections, but
(24:19):
the rates are still going up. That'll be the water.
Another texta says if we still had the bigger bins,
two week collection might be acceptable. And Jenny is organized.
Jenny says my husband and I already do a fortnightly
rubbish collection voluntarily and sometimes we can stretch it to three.
We recycle, we use the food scraps, bin and meat scraps.
(24:40):
We freeze them and then put them out on collection day.
And she says it's easy. It just takes some organization
and it will save the city some money. It is
seventeen to six. Gavin Gray out of the UK in
a few moments time, and news on our crime stats
came out over the course of the weekend and crime
is down or maybe crime is being prevented by cops
(25:00):
on the beat. We'll talk to Ruth Money about this
before six on early edition with new Stalks. Thereb some
good news for Milford. They've just taken out the Consumer
New Zealand People's Choice Award KEIWI Save. This is for
their Milford KEIWI Save a plan. It makes it eight

Speaker 2 (26:20):
Fifteen to six. Kevin Gray from the UK and morning
to you hither Andrew. So the UK has secured a
ten billion pound deal to supply the Norwegian Navy. So
what sort of kid are you giving them?
Speaker 9 (26:32):
It's going to be type twenty six frigates. And this
has been what the British government's describing as the biggest
ever worship export deal by value, and it will support
likely four thousand British jobs well into the twenty thirties,
including some two thousand BAE Systems otherwise known as British
Aerospace based up in Glasgow, Scotland where the frigates are
(26:53):
going to be built, and the deal is expected to
support some four hundred British businesses as well, including crucially
probably a hundred and three in Scotland. Those are the
figures who's not going to be happy. While France, Germany
and the United States were also being considered, and indeed
somebody quite senior in the Norwegian Naval Academy said it's
a bad choice. The French and German frigates would have
(27:14):
been superior to the British. Well tough because the British
have won the deal on this one. Thirteen anti submarine
frigates are what are going to be eventually based their
eight British, five Norwegian and a big big deal of
twenty four billion New Zealand dollars.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
And thousands of jobs, two thousand alone in Glasgow. So
that's good and that's a vote winner. Hey, German investigators
Prime suspect and the disappearance of Medal MacCann is going
to be released from prison in a matter of weeks. Yes,
that's right.
Speaker 9 (27:42):
So we've talked about this guy so often, haven't we.
Andrew forty eight year old German national Christian Bruckner, the
main suspect, the only suspect in the Madeline McCann disappearance. However,
he has never ever faced any charges about that disappearance
and indeed says he had nothing to do with it.
He's currently in prison following a rape conviction of an
(28:03):
seventy two year old American tourist. He's forty eight years
old now, but he's come into the end of that
prison sentence. They can't hold him any longer. So it's
likely that by the seventeenth of September he will have
to be released. They're looking potentially at requesting the judges
say that he has to wear a tag. Plenty of
people fear he may skip the country and then go
(28:23):
who knows where. Of course, Madeline mccany, then three year old,
vanished from an apartment complex on the Algarve in Portugal
back in May two thousand and seven, and despite many
millions of New Zealand dollars spent trying to find her.
Despite the earth being dug up around prior deluge where
she went missing. I'm afraid there is still no further
(28:43):
evidence that she's either still alive or indeed where her
body might be.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Gavin great for the UK, I thank you. It is
ten to six ZID. So we've had an update from
the government on its crime reduction targets. One hundred and
fifty six thousand people with victims of violent crime in
the year to now. That is bad news, but it's
also good news because it's twenty nine, twenty nine thousand
fewer than when the coalition took office and surpassing their
(29:08):
twenty twenty nine goal of twenty thousand fewer. So I'm
joined now by Ruth Money, who's the Chief Victims Advisor
for the government. Commodity Ruth Good. Down twenty nine thousand,
but to one hundred and fifty six thousand is still
a lot. What's that four hundred and fifty people of
the victim of violent crime every day?
Speaker 8 (29:26):
Yeah, far, far, far too many. But it is good
to see that those numbers are declining.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
So the question is how do we get the numbers
down more.
Speaker 8 (29:35):
Well? I'm giving some pretty stern advice around the sexual
violence family violence space because that's obviously a huge area
of criminality within our community. It's also really good to
see that we've got those extra police walking around, which
are causes for deterrence. So that's what we need. So
everything is heading in the right direction. Fingers and toes crossed, though,
(29:57):
because it's still a pretty volatile kind of number to
look at. And also we've got some high pressure times
that we come through, for example, Christmas for example, it's
not a great time for crime and pressure in the community.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
So it's great that we've got cops on the beat
and I get there and that's decreasing crime on our
high streets just by their presence. That's great. But I
was reading it and I came to the we're talked
about sexual assaults, and it's sexual assaults are up by
three thousand and just the last three months of this
survey period. That's a worry. And now, is that because
we're getting better at reporting sexual assault or are we
(30:32):
getting worse at committing sexual assault?
Speaker 8 (30:37):
I actually think it's a bit of both. And look,
that's just my experience speaking the crime of the New
Zealand Crime and Victims Survey actually measures and it's very unique.
It measures disclosed crime, so crime that's actually been reported,
but it also talks to people who, for whatever reason
didn't choose to go through the process and disclose it legally.
(30:59):
So I think you'll see is that more people are
talking about sexual violence and therefore bear is a level
of comfort to talk about that it's happened, if not
hasn't been reported, So that will be increasing our numbers
in terms of I'm brave enough to report it, but
I'm also brave enough to talk about it and not
report It's there's a lot of nuance when it comes
(31:22):
to sexual violence.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Well, there's always work to do. Crime, as we say,
never sleeps, and I thank you so much for all
your advocacy. That is worth money. By the way, a
final note, the government is ending permanent name suppression for
serious sexual offenders and I think we'd all say about
time it is seven to six.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
The first word on the News of the Day early
edition with Adre Dickins and one roof love where you
Live News Talks.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
That'd be so the awkward experiment on the Fortnight the
rubbish collection Some Love It some don't what we've got
to text you. I think it's a brilliant idea. If
it will slow the increase of our rates, well that
all depends on your water. I guess someone says Fortnitely
Collections will suit some and not others. That's true enough,
and Molan is very upset that it will increase the
illegal dumping of household rubbish. I understand that Toyrong is
(32:09):
doing it. Hamilton's already doing a Fortnite collections. But people
are saying it's the size of the bin. My costing
joins Now, Fortnitely Rubbish Collection didn't kill this.
Speaker 13 (32:20):
It's it's just less service, isn't it. Yeah, it boils
down to it and it is the size of the bin.
And that's why too many people then go and high
their own private rubbish collection service. Tell me what we
do in the country that works well. It's about to change,
but it has worked well. Is if you want more rubbish,
you buy more bags, so you've got by being just
put it out and if you want to put out
twenty seven, you put out twenty seven and no one
cares because you pay for it. And that's the word.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
But if people can't pay for it then they have.
Did you see on the telly last night they took
the counches and they just dump it in their reserve.
Speaker 8 (32:47):
That's what they do.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Thank you so much. We've got James me this morning.
Speaker 13 (32:50):
Who is I can't work out whether he's solved the No,
he hasn't solved the problem. So this is regionally alliance, right.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
He's the South Island guy.
Speaker 13 (32:57):
He is the South Island guy, but he's also the
Minister Transport and he's been in charge of the regional
airline problem, which is they don't make money, there aren't
enough people, et cetera. So his answer this morning is
a loan scheme. He's got a technical answer in which
you can go on and it will manage your booking
in a way that you will be able to go
from anywhere in the country to anywhere in the country
(33:20):
semi seamlessly. I don't know how that solves the problem though.
If you're not making any money as nearline, well isn't
a bit.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Like the supermarkets.
Speaker 6 (33:26):
It is what it is.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
If the market says we can only support two chains,
the market says we can only support two airlines, well
then that's said.
Speaker 13 (33:34):
I'm saying I think that's I think that's what it
boils down to. But a loan scheme, if you're not
making enough money as an airline, borrowing more money doesn't
solve your problem, doesn't it. People aren't But if there
aren't enough people, there is enough money, whatever the case
may be. But anyway, we'll talk to them about that.
The Prime Minister's with us and Police Commissioner on what's seen.
Some pretty positive numbers of news.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Still a lot of crime. We're in the right didn't
go right away, and I thank you so much, Dick
consent for Ryan. I'm here all weeks on holiday. Micah's next.
Thank you so much for your company, and thank you Kinsey.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Good onrding to you and welcome to the program. Thank
you so much for choosing us. The first day of
spring and it's a wild and windy one, so today
on the show in the next hour, it's tough economically
for everyone, including students. Emergency grants are on the up.
How much and why. We'll have that story for you
in five minutes now the Blackburns have one against Japan
and Porta got a fiftieth. Andrew Ordison will look at
(00:31):
all the weekends sport in ten minutes time. What Neil
Quigley's exit from the chair of the Reserve Bank really
says about our country's financial management. And crime stats are down,
but are we just playing whack them all with the criminals.
We'll talk with Ruth Money just before six o'clock this morning.
We'll have that story. Correspondens from right around New Zealand
and the world. Gavin Gray from the UK and you
can have your say by sending us a text and
(00:53):
the text number is ninety two ninety two Small charge
applies at seven after.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Five the agenda.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
It's Monday, the first of September, and Putin and Modi
are in China for a security summit, with Modi meeting
xijimping for the very first time in seven years. The
gathering comes as Trump slaps tariffs on India over Russian
oil and Putin could be facing fresh sanctions on Ukraine
from as.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
The last CARS Summit's shure, it's attempting to rule Russian
President Putin in a bid to break the de facto
Sino Russian alliance against the US. While Trump recognizes that
punishing and ISO isolating Russia grow Moscow closer to Beijing,
he's not repeating that same mistake with India.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yes, speaking about that mistake with India, the New York
Times is reporting that the US wooed India for thirty
years and Trumps blind it up in just a few
months every summer with his tariffs as part of the
crackdown on Russia in the Ukraine and his loose use
of words. Now to the UK where they've locked in
their biggest They have a worship export deal nearly twenty
three billion New Zealand dollars worth of frigates and they're
(02:03):
sending them to Norway the country. The contract will support
four thousand jobs in Britain, two thousand at some shipyards
in Glasgow.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
It is a real commitment to British workers and to
our security, which will mean a combined fleet of British
Norwegian ships in the North Atlantic and the North Sea,
keeping us safe at home and secure aboard.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
And UK European correspondent garn Gray will have more on this.
Just after five forty five this morning, and Gritted Tomberg
has hopped on another boat heading for Gaza. It comes
as eighteen people were reported killed in attacks on Gaza today.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
This story is not at all about the mission that
we are about to embark.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
The story here is about Palestine.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
The story here is how people are being deliberately deprived
of the very basic means to survive.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
And that takes us to night.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Head of the headlines on early edition with Adre Dickins
and one roof Love where you Live News talks at me.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
So the government is pushing a plan that will provide
two million houses, principally in Auckland, and it's ruffled everyone's feathers,
particularly the good people of Mount Eden, who last week
had a very rowdy meeting. They're upset that consent rules
around transport hubs will be loosened, threatening what is known
as special characteristic housing zones. The one hundred year old
(03:25):
homes on quarder acre sections. They might be torn down
to build faceless boxing townhouses. That's their concern. Chris Bishop
is behind all of this, and I noticed over the
weekend he's been getting flack from the left but also
from the right, all over the social media and on
the right they believe that this will end out in
ghettos and it's part of some nefarious World Economic Forum
idea to group us all together to make us easier
(03:48):
to control. But it's actually ignoring the reality of what
happens to cities all over the world, whether it's Sydney's
Surrey Hills or Putney in London or Brooklyn and New York.
In every city houses were intensified. Now with time, they
too have become special characteristic housing zones and their own right,
and they have thriving communities and high street shopping and
no mega supermarkets and loads of hospitality. New Zealand cities
(04:12):
are different, and New Zealand cities have spent a long
time wallowing in a model that made our worst problems worse.
Traffic congestion, a soulless, lonely suburban life, a mode of
living where if you don't have a car, you're banned
from participating in life. And ask the elderly, which is
why they choose intensive living in their golden years. That's
what they go to retirement villages. So this new plan,
(04:35):
this trick will be to identify the houses that are
too special to redevelop, to keep the good people around,
eat and carm and you need to protect them. But
you also need to find areas where a little bit
of intensification will make life better for everyone, including business,
which is why Chris Buship wants more intensive housing around
transport hubs. And I'll leave the last word to Chris
(04:57):
on the social media over the weekend where he said, Yep,
me and my so called cooker mates have a radical
view of having built a five point five billion dollar
new rail link in Auckland that doubles rail capacity, we
should maybe build some housing around the glorious new stations.
And that makes sense to me as long as we
do it well. It's twelve after five Braves Andrew Dickens.
(05:21):
In fact, by the way, the number of applications granted
for emergency housing nationally has plummeted, the government has been
tightening restrictions. Data to the end of the journe obtained
by The Herald under the OIA shows that even though
the number of applications have dropped significantly, the number being
declined continues to rise, and in fact, more applications are
being declined than granted an Auckland, which is great for
(05:43):
our country's finances, but not so great if you're homeless
right now. And speaking of grants, tertiary institutions are giving
out grants to students thirty four million dollars in hardship
funding since COVID. So what's that about and where's the
money going? We'll have that story for your next This
is News Talk ZB.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
News and Views you trust to start your day. It's
early EDITIONIP with Andrew Dickins and One Room Love Where
you Live Newstalks b Well.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
The time is now five fourteen. Tertiary institutions have dissed
out thirty four million dollars in hardship fundings since COVID.
The peak was in twenty twenty one, where they gave
away nearly nine million dollars. They gave away just under
six million last year. So Aidan Donahue is Wellington's Victoria
University Students Association Engagement Vice President and is up early
for us good morning to aiden good morning. Why are
(06:36):
the students having to get the grants?
Speaker 7 (06:39):
Look beginning the grants because they're obviously in need of
extra money, and most of that we're seeing is in
regards to MG costs and other sort of financial stresses
like that.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
So let's look at the money. Aut says it's average
amount of assistants last year four hundred and fifty bucks.
Canterby University provides up to eight hundred dollars through its
students Association. So how much are the students really relying
on these grants?
Speaker 8 (07:06):
Many students.
Speaker 7 (07:07):
I've really looked into these grants to really get bias,
specially when I don't expected costs occurred. But it's really
just tough. It can really be a wide variety of
things that need a touchhip grunts.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
For okay, So, and what impact is this lack of
money and the cost of living crisis having on students studying?
Speaker 7 (07:31):
It's an immense impact. I mean, every hour that's worked
to make up that loss and money is an hour
that's not spent studying. And so for students it's a
really tough decision between working those extra hours or spending
that extra time on a better assignment or better you know,
engagement with the content of the course.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Things obviously got tough during COVID. Are things getting better now?
Speaker 7 (07:55):
Unfortunately?
Speaker 9 (07:56):
No.
Speaker 7 (07:57):
I'm from our winter energy grants which posed in August.
We've seen that the number of submissions received from twenty
twenty three to twenty twenty five is about tripled, from
about two hundred and sixty five applications in twenty twenty
three to nine hundred and forty applications in twenty twenty five.
And yeah, just to put those rown perspective, every application
(08:17):
is limited to one per address, and so that's nine
hundred and forty households looking for extra support during these
times during winter.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
All right, Well, we wish them all the best of
luck and I thank you so much. Aden Donahue from
the Victoria University of Wellington Students Association, he's the Engagement
Vice president. That's a mouthful to seventeen minutes after five
the Tamacke Makodo by election, by the way, is on us.
It's this weekend so far interesting. You have to say,
absolutely subterranean. And I wonder why, you know, with all
(08:50):
this debate about Malori representation at council and national level
running so hot, you'd think that Maori would value the
fact that they've got these Malordi seats, that they would
value representation and that they would flock to the polls
and exercise their democratic rights. But they aren't. And you
have to say, use it or lose it. Mary, Now
(09:10):
in the Formula one, if you've just woken up, Liam
Lawson got a puncture him and Carlos Sign's crash. Carlos
got a penalty. Liam was slightly to blame. He was
running fifth at the time, which was looking good frustratingly
for him. Had you came in third and actually got
into the podium for the first time in ages for
racing balls anyway, that happened overnight. Also, the Black Ferns
(09:31):
played in the Rugby World Cup. So we'll update all
the sport with Andrew Ordison. That is next here on
News TALKSB.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Andrew Dickens on earlier this show with one roof Love
Where you Live, News Talks b.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
By twenty Talk Sport Andrew Ordison, Good morning to you,
Greetings Andrew, just saying that the Black Ferns beat Japan
over the weekend. Porscha got her fiftieth.
Speaker 10 (09:52):
She did yeah overnight, so yeah, pusha woman. The highest
number of tries by New Zealander at test level. But
you feel like cruising to actually sixty two nineteen relatively
convincing it thirty eight five at halftime and they switched
over a number of players, so got I think all
the scare all thirty two members that squad have had
some game time in the first couple of games. So
they'll face Ireland out.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Of the side.
Speaker 10 (10:14):
Well, who's going to top Pool? See in those quarter
final standings.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Yeah that's good and yeah we will be in the
quarter final. It depended on France beating Brazil. They beat
Brazil eighty four to five, and then this is quite
a discrepancy. I mean you think about England some more.
Ninety two to three.
Speaker 10 (10:30):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know that it's a great advertisement,
but there you go.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I think England's looking very good. It's a bit of
a worry. Pretty strong speaking of rugby. Glorious scene south
and wins the Ramfully Shield for the first time since
twenty eleven. That's fantastic against against the Waycoat team pack
with all thatacks. I was surprised at that.
Speaker 10 (10:46):
I thought that we're the play its role and Southland
took advantage and good on them.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Shows you how beautiful the Ramfay Shield is and how
good MPC is.
Speaker 10 (10:56):
I love that. I love that when the shield works
its way around the country. I think they're up against
Canterbury for their first defense, so it may be moving
I think Canabary I think undefeated so far from their
five games, so yeah, it might be moving on again.
But nonetheless, you take this year when you can get it.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
And what was it Auckland have lost fave in a row.
Speaker 10 (11:13):
Yeah, yeah, it's not much success anywhere across the O night.
I think at the stage in the NPC.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Formula one, Liam got a punction from Carlos Simes. He
was sitting fifth at the time. But it must be
really frustrating for the end because Haja, his teammate, goes
and gets a podium for the first time in the
ages for so.
Speaker 10 (11:32):
Glorious gods Hadjya this morning as a result of that.
So yeah, I think Lawson finishing up in twelfth in
the end, I think significantly two for the championship. Ledder
Norris with that smoke coming out of his vehicle and
getting no points compared to McLaren teammate Lando Norris. Sorry, yeah,
Oscar Pastri Pastre is one verstap in second, but that's significant,
(11:56):
thirty four points now ahead of Norris. So heading to
the back end of the Sea's.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Great and the Warriors. Now, look, I have watched that
replay of that final disallowed try and that was never
a knock on. I can't see any touch on that ball.
But that's not the try telling Jason Ryles, Okay, yeah,
that's not much. It is that that's not the point.
The Warriors shouldn't be at that situation up against the
fourteenth scene seeing the team that late in the game.
Speaker 10 (12:23):
You're putting yourself in a vulnerable position, and I've got
to be if they're wanting ambitions of being a top fourteen,
which is now extremely slim heading into the last round,
you've got to take those opportunities or you've got to
put that sort of stuff beyond you in dominate in
those circumstances, so they haven't done that and what twenty
six twenty two in the end, but it's yea a
(12:44):
fascinating final week to see where they do end up.
You woudn't want to be playing Penrith, I would have thought.
But an interesting thing too. Apparently all four of those
games could be out of Sydney, so very few of
the last of the of the final series games or
the playoffs will be instantly by boil accounts.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Were interesting teams, so they'll hate that.
Speaker 10 (13:04):
That's their game, but they don't get the Grand Final regardless.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
You're a fisherman. No really, okay, fishing license has gone Saturday.
I'll talk about that a bit later because that's sport
in a stretch and a bizarre way. Indeed, indeed, thank
you Andrew His edit five twenty four.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
The early edition Full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by
News Talks it B.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
News Talks B It is five twenty six am ENTR
Dickens in for Ryan Bridge, who's on holiday. So we
had the resignation of the chair of the Reserve Bank
on Friday, which shows you just how badly our economy
has been run for the last six years. In my opinion.
So Neil quickly marched off into the sunset. At five
forty nine pm on a Friday, that's just late enough
for the news to miss the TV six pm bulletin.
(13:50):
That's an old PR trick in it, leaving the shock
value to dissipate over the weekend before the start of
play today. But there we go, and it's evidence to
me that successive governments National and Labor and the Reserve
Bank have failed to respect each other or realize that
even though they're independent, their actions combine and affect all
of us. So back in the COVID years, the Reserve
(14:12):
Bank reacted and made money essentially free, but the Labor
government wanted to be seen to be doing something, so
they started overspending. We all know this. They started throwing
borrowed money away. And the result of all this free
money and all this government spending was a superheated economy
that obviously crashed spectacularly and spectacularly quickly. So the Reserve
(14:33):
Bank then reacted again and made the money expensive again
to attack the overheating, put the interest rates up. But
the new government, this time National, again wanted to be
seen to be doing something, so they started canceling government expenditure,
and that ended out throwing us into an even deeper
economic funk than anyone had expected, including the Reserve Bank. Now,
in both scenarios, the governments didn't seem to realize what
(14:57):
was happening at the reserve bank of our economy, and
the Reserve Bank was too proud to take into account
the stupidity of governments. They were working against each other.
They're supposed to be independent, but that's all supposed to
be pulling together to help us. All government, i think,
needs to heed the advice that they give to local councils.
Just stick to your knitting. Your job is to do
(15:19):
the basics. Fund health and education and the police, and
build us stuff to help us do business, like roads
and rail and ferries. But you don't have to worry
about the price of butter or the number of supermarkets.
The market will do that, the Reserve Bank will do that.
And remember, governments, you need to keep the borrowing as
low as reasonable. Let the Reserve Bank worry about inflation
(15:41):
and the big financial stuff. But that hasn't happened the
last two terms, and that is what should happen. That's
how successful governments respect the independence of the Reserve Bank.
And that's how the last two amateur governments did not
us talk said be five twenty eight. The tech number
is ninety two twenty two. Here's something for you to
text about or constarting a bit of an experiment about
(16:04):
fortnightly rubbish collections. Could you cope with that? Is that
a good thing? Of course? That means that the cost
of collecting the rubbish has halved, yeah, because there's not
so many collections. But at the same time we could
end out with overflowing bins and you know, could you
cope with fortnightly rubbish collection? Is this something you need
(16:25):
and you want or is this something that's going to
turn our whole place into a cornmark? Send me a
text ninety two ninety two or talk more about that
a little bit later on. And the big news is
fishing licenses go on sale today first day of spring,
so a few details about that. And later on we've
got an update from the government on its crime reduction target,
so we'll talk to Ruth Money, the Chief Victim's advisor
(16:46):
to government about this. It's down twenty nine thousand. Then
when this government came into power, still one hundred and
fifty six thousand crimes in a year. That's four hundred
and fifty a day. Are you feeling safe for ninety two?
Ninety two is the number of the phone. This is
Early Edition. I'm Andrew Dickens and this is News Talk.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Hib the news you need this morning and the in
(17:46):
depth analysis Early Edition with Andrew Dickens and One Route
Love where you Live, News Talks at Bone start. That's
the way.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
When this is Olivia Deans and I've fallen in love
with her boy. She's from England over the last couple
of months. She's got a new album coming out in
weeks and I found out the other days she actually
(18:22):
came to the Laneway Festival last summer and I didn't
know that. And if I knew that, I would have
gone to the Laneway Festival just to see this woman.
She's great. Anyway, there we go, I Madrew Dickens, and
I mean for Ryan who's having holiday, because you do.
I can look at the weather. It is the first
day of spring and it is wild and windy, and
there's been problems at airports, but there we go. Today's
looking a little bit calmer than yesterday. And because it's
(18:43):
the first day of Spring first or September, it's the
day that the fishing licenses go on sale. They're on
sale for the fishing season that starts on October the first,
So if you're heading out to catch trout or salmon,
you need a license, no exceptions or there's trouble. You
can buy them online or in store from fishing game
end Zet or any approved agent. You can go down
to your local outdoor store. It's about one hundred to
(19:05):
one hundred and thirty dollars for a year. You can
get a day license for twenty to twenty five bucks
a day. The digital license is absolutely fine. You just
get a PDF you put it on your phone, but
if you do that you have to have a photo
ID with you to prove that you've got the license.
Family options are available if you have no license, no fishing.
Fishing without the right license is treated the same as
(19:26):
having none at all, so get it right. Land access
not included, so your license doesn't give you permission to
cross private land. Got to ask first, And if you're
in the Topol region, different rules. That area is managed
by dock so you need a separate permit. And once
you've done all of that there's absolutely no guarantee that
the fish will be biting. So good luck to you,
happy fishing, and here comes summer, Ryan Bridge. It's twenty
(19:49):
two to success. Go right around the country and to
the need in first and not target Kellen proct Good
morning to you, morning Andrew. We've got fines for environmental
breaches and they're rising.
Speaker 11 (19:59):
They are the Gum Moments amended these regulations, increasing fines
anywhere from one hundred to nine hundred percent. This followed
complaints that infringement fees were too low to be a
deterrent against non compliance. So in the twenty twenty four
to twenty five financial year, the Ottaga Original Council issued
sixty two environmental infringements. The OSCCS regulations had not been
(20:21):
amended since nineteen ninety nine. They say the fines hadn't
kept pace with inflation over time, and now they more
effectively distinguished between individuals and companies.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Loads of snow on the weekend in central Otago. How's
your weather today, Well, it's windy today.
Speaker 11 (20:36):
We've got a strong wind warning, gusts of westerly gusts
of one hundred CA's Fordneed and today's showers developing possibly
heavy the high fourteen.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Com I thank you Chris Sure we're good morning to you.
Good morning, you've got a christ Church in Duran's athlete
who's running six hundred and seventeen kilometers this week. Why
this is for.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
Every life lost to suicide last year. Andrew Morgan Bartram
is covering one hundred kilometers a day for the next
six days. He'll finish with seventeen kilometers on Sunday. He's
doing this via lapse around Hagley Park and it's all
to raise money for mental health charity I Am Hope.
Bartram says he has been training for a year for this,
often doing marathons after work in preparation. He says six
(21:18):
hundred and seventeen people dying by suicide is simply too high,
especially for New Zealand, and he wants to put a
spotlight on that. He is encouraging everyone to come down
to Hagley Park this week to join him.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Lovely park, but going round, round and round. Has got
to play on the blane. But it's a good, good court.
How's the weather for the run?
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Frosty to start today, but should be a bit nicer
for him later on. Some strong northwesterlies developing. The high
will be seventeen.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Max Toll joins us for Wellington, Hellimax, good morning. You
read the news very well last week. I heard you you.
I thank you very much. Great.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Now we've had a massive police cracked down in Manuwatu
over the weekend.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
Yeah. I we're seeing this more and more major police
operations stopping hundreds and hundreds of motorists that checkpoints across
the region over the weekend. In Palmerston, north fielding cops
were actually called in from Funganui, Tadanaki, Wellington, Hawks Bay
just to help with this. Dozens of infringements, some arrests,
some cars impounded a couple of months ago. We saw
the same thing in White and Mata a month ago
(22:16):
in Hamilton and Rota and we'll see where they go
next later this month. How's your whare there over car
strong northwesterlyas fifteen the high central and.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
I thank you. In Neiva Rich a man who joins
you from Walkland. Hello, Neva, My good.
Speaker 12 (22:29):
Morning, Andrew. Sorry I didn't turn my mic on.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
What apro I've only been here forty years?
Speaker 4 (22:33):
What the hell?
Speaker 2 (22:34):
So we've got a car pack on the waterfront. There
is also an at installation.
Speaker 12 (22:39):
Correct, this is quite unusual but very funny actually. So
it's a one hundred and ten meter long port building.
You're right on the waterfront now it's going to be
lit from top to bottom. This is starting at dusk today.
It's called the light Ship and it's on Key Street. Look,
it's a car park by day in an outdoor artwork
by night. So it's made up of nearly eight and
(23:00):
five hundred LEDs.
Speaker 11 (23:02):
The lights.
Speaker 12 (23:03):
It's a digital canvas and it's going to be for
free for anyone to view it. Yeah, it's quite cool.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Still blocks the view of the sea, which apparently is
quite pretty. There we are, but it's a car park,
which is a good thing.
Speaker 12 (23:16):
Yes, it is exactly we need those.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
How's the weather Okay?
Speaker 12 (23:19):
Partly cloudy, isolated showers, those strong southwesterlies easing this afternoon.
Seventeens a high but a lot better than that wild
weather yesterday.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
The airport was closing.
Speaker 12 (23:29):
But I know were you out at the airport.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
No, I was driving. I was driving all the way
through the Waycatto and it was wild.
Speaker 10 (23:35):
Oh yeah, crazy, how would have been shaking?
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Thank you Neva. Now speaking of Auckland. They're doing an
experiment to see a fortnight the rubbish collection might work,
and I thought it was interesting that the council has
chosen some of the poorest areas of the city to
run the trial. And of course they did because if
they ran this trial in remy Wear or ponsonby the
good people there, who if they were told they have
to store their rubbish for our fortnite, I think there
would be a revolution. So they're doing this in some
(23:57):
of the poor areas, and I wondered whether these overpaid
bureaucrats at the council have ever driven around the areas
that talking about on rubbish day, because already these places
are overflowing with rubbish with a one day a week collection,
so good look luck with that one. But there's some
places around the place that I am doing fortnitely. I
asked the question would you like a fortnightly rubbish collection?
Text through saying that Hamilton has fortnightly rubbish collections, but
(24:19):
the rates are still going up. That'll be the water.
Another texta says if we still had the bigger bins,
two week collection might be acceptable. And Jenny is organized.
Jenny says my husband and I already do a fortnightly
rubbish collection voluntarily and sometimes we can stretch it to three.
We recycle, we use the food scraps, bin and meat scraps.
(24:40):
We freeze them and then put them out on collection day.
And she says it's easy. It just takes some organization
and it will save the city some money. It is
seventeen to six. Gavin Gray out of the UK in
a few moments time, and news on our crime stats
came out over the course of the weekend and crime
is down or maybe crime is being prevented by cops
(25:00):
on the beat. We'll talk to Ruth Money about this
before six on early edition with new Stalks. Thereb some

Speaker 2 (26:20):
Fifteen to six. Kevin Gray from the UK and morning
to you hither Andrew. So the UK has secured a
ten billion pound deal to supply the Norwegian Navy. So
what sort of kid are you giving them?
Speaker 9 (26:32):
It's going to be type twenty six frigates. And this
has been what the British government's describing as the biggest
ever worship export deal by value, and it will support
likely four thousand British jobs well into the twenty thirties,
including some two thousand BAE Systems otherwise known as British
Aerospace based up in Glasgow, Scotland where the frigates are
(26:53):
going to be built, and the deal is expected to
support some four hundred British businesses as well, including crucially
probably a hundred and three in Scotland. Those are the
figures who's not going to be happy. While France, Germany
and the United States were also being considered, and indeed
somebody quite senior in the Norwegian Naval Academy said it's
a bad choice. The French and German frigates would have
(27:14):
been superior to the British. Well tough because the British
have won the deal on this one. Thirteen anti submarine
frigates are what are going to be eventually based their
eight British, five Norwegian and a big big deal of
twenty four billion New Zealand dollars.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
And thousands of jobs, two thousand alone in Glasgow. So
that's good and that's a vote winner. Hey, German investigators
Prime suspect and the disappearance of Medal MacCann is going
to be released from prison in a matter of weeks. Yes,
that's right.
Speaker 9 (27:42):
So we've talked about this guy so often, haven't we.
Andrew forty eight year old German national Christian Bruckner, the
main suspect, the only suspect in the Madeline McCann disappearance. However,
he has never ever faced any charges about that disappearance
and indeed says he had nothing to do with it.
He's currently in prison following a rape conviction of an
(28:03):
seventy two year old American tourist. He's forty eight years
old now, but he's come into the end of that
prison sentence. They can't hold him any longer. So it's
likely that by the seventeenth of September he will have
to be released. They're looking potentially at requesting the judges
say that he has to wear a tag. Plenty of
people fear he may skip the country and then go
(28:23):
who knows where. Of course, Madeline mccany, then three year old,
vanished from an apartment complex on the Algarve in Portugal
back in May two thousand and seven, and despite many
millions of New Zealand dollars spent trying to find her.
Despite the earth being dug up around prior deluge where
she went missing. I'm afraid there is still no further
(28:43):
evidence that she's either still alive or indeed where her
body might be.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Gavin great for the UK, I thank you. It is
ten to six ZID. So we've had an update from
the government on its crime reduction targets. One hundred and
fifty six thousand people with victims of violent crime in
the year to now. That is bad news, but it's
also good news because it's twenty nine, twenty nine thousand
fewer than when the coalition took office and surpassing their
(29:08):
twenty twenty nine goal of twenty thousand fewer. So I'm
joined now by Ruth Money, who's the Chief Victims Advisor
for the government. Commodity Ruth Good. Down twenty nine thousand,
but to one hundred and fifty six thousand is still
a lot. What's that four hundred and fifty people of
the victim of violent crime every day?
Speaker 8 (29:26):
Yeah, far, far, far too many. But it is good
to see that those numbers are declining.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
So the question is how do we get the numbers
down more.
Speaker 8 (29:35):
Well? I'm giving some pretty stern advice around the sexual
violence family violence space because that's obviously a huge area
of criminality within our community. It's also really good to
see that we've got those extra police walking around, which
are causes for deterrence. So that's what we need. So
everything is heading in the right direction. Fingers and toes crossed, though,
(29:57):
because it's still a pretty volatile kind of number to
look at. And also we've got some high pressure times
that we come through, for example, Christmas for example, it's
not a great time for crime and pressure in the community.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
So it's great that we've got cops on the beat
and I get there and that's decreasing crime on our
high streets just by their presence. That's great. But I
was reading it and I came to the we're talked
about sexual assaults, and it's sexual assaults are up by
three thousand and just the last three months of this
survey period. That's a worry. And now, is that because
we're getting better at reporting sexual assault or are we
(30:32):
getting worse at committing sexual assault?
Speaker 8 (30:37):
I actually think it's a bit of both. And look,
that's just my experience speaking the crime of the New
Zealand Crime and Victims Survey actually measures and it's very unique.
It measures disclosed crime, so crime that's actually been reported,
but it also talks to people who, for whatever reason
didn't choose to go through the process and disclose it legally.
(30:59):
So I think you'll see is that more people are
talking about sexual violence and therefore bear is a level
of comfort to talk about that it's happened, if not
hasn't been reported, So that will be increasing our numbers
in terms of I'm brave enough to report it, but
I'm also brave enough to talk about it and not
report It's there's a lot of nuance when it comes
(31:22):
to sexual violence.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Well, there's always work to do. Crime, as we say,
never sleeps, and I thank you so much for all
your advocacy. That is worth money. By the way, a
final note, the government is ending permanent name suppression for
serious sexual offenders and I think we'd all say about
time it is seven to six.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
The first word on the News of the Day early
edition with Adre Dickins and one roof love where you
Live News Talks.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
That'd be so the awkward experiment on the Fortnight the
rubbish collection Some Love It some don't what we've got
to text you. I think it's a brilliant idea. If
it will slow the increase of our rates, well that
all depends on your water. I guess someone says Fortnitely
Collections will suit some and not others. That's true enough,
and Molan is very upset that it will increase the
illegal dumping of household rubbish. I understand that Toyrong is
(32:09):
doing it. Hamilton's already doing a Fortnite collections. But people
are saying it's the size of the bin. My costing
joins Now, Fortnitely Rubbish Collection didn't kill this.
Speaker 13 (32:20):
It's it's just less service, isn't it. Yeah, it boils
down to it and it is the size of the bin.
And that's why too many people then go and high
their own private rubbish collection service. Tell me what we
do in the country that works well. It's about to change,
but it has worked well. Is if you want more rubbish,
you buy more bags, so you've got by being just
put it out and if you want to put out
twenty seven, you put out twenty seven and no one
cares because you pay for it. And that's the word.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
But if people can't pay for it then they have.
Did you see on the telly last night they took
the counches and they just dump it in their reserve.
Speaker 8 (32:47):
That's what they do.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Thank you so much. We've got James me this morning.
Speaker 13 (32:50):
Who is I can't work out whether he's solved the No,
he hasn't solved the problem. So this is regionally alliance, right.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
He's the South Island guy.
Speaker 13 (32:57):
He is the South Island guy, but he's also the
Minister Transport and he's been in charge of the regional
airline problem, which is they don't make money, there aren't
enough people, et cetera. So his answer this morning is
a loan scheme. He's got a technical answer in which
you can go on and it will manage your booking
in a way that you will be able to go
from anywhere in the country to anywhere in the country
(33:20):
semi seamlessly. I don't know how that solves the problem though.
If you're not making any money as nearline, well isn't
a bit.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Like the supermarkets.
Speaker 6 (33:26):
It is what it is.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
If the market says we can only support two chains,
the market says we can only support two airlines, well
then that's said.
Speaker 13 (33:34):
I'm saying I think that's I think that's what it
boils down to. But a loan scheme, if you're not
making enough money as an airline, borrowing more money doesn't
solve your problem, doesn't it. People aren't But if there
aren't enough people, there is enough money, whatever the case
may be. But anyway, we'll talk to them about that.
The Prime Minister's with us and Police Commissioner on what's seen.
Some pretty positive numbers of news.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Still a lot of crime. We're in the right didn't
go right away, and I thank you so much, Dick
consent for Ryan. I'm here all weeks on holiday. Micah's next.
Thank you so much for your company, and thank you Kinsey.
