Speaker 1 (00:01):
The issues, the interviews and the insight. Ryan Bridge on
early erdship with r the Supercenter, explore r V successories
and servicing all in one news.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Talks the morning six after five. Great to have your
company this morning. Another big four for dairy prices will
bring you across that and police targets. They're trying to
deal with trust at police. We'll look at that before
six this morning. We're in the UK. More prisoners accidentally
released there and Liam Lawson gets his seat as expected.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
The agenda.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
It is Wednesday, the third December. We've heard this before,
but Zelensky reckons they are closer than ever to ending
the war.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Does something still need to be work tapped from what time?
America's taking serious steps to one way and our times
and I'm sure that this is our common task for
everyone in Europe is to really and this there war,
not just to get to course.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
And talks are happening in Moscow right now, and Putin
apparently has just left the Kremlin on way to them
and his Trump's son in law, Kushna, he's the Wickcoff's
going to.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
The wording of what compromises could be made to try
and satisfy both parties. That's what's being presented to the Kremlin.
When the meeting with Putin and Wickoff and Kushna finally happens.
Big question is whether Putin's going to accept that, whether
he thinks those potential concessions go far enough they give
(01:27):
Russia the victory that Putin wants so much.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
To the US the White Houses, it wasn't Higgsith that
ordered these sick and strike to finish off the Niico terrorists.
It was a Navy admirald, So.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Clarify, Admiral Bradley was the one to give that order
for a second, and.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
He was well within his authority to do so.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
Admiral Browley worked well within his authority in the law.
He directed the engagement to ensure the boat was destroyed
and the threat of narco terrorists to the United States
was completely eliminated.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Now to Australia, fifteen year old because this band on
social media, is it really going to work? Are they
just going to get around that there's a fifteen year old,
the teenager who is suing the government over the band
and it's come to the place next week. His argument
that the teenagers will just use it anyway.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
You just have to show an ID. What's stopping me
or my peers from getting their older brother's ID or
their parents' ID. I definitely know that a lot of
my mates are going to do it, and I probably
will do it as well.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
I love the honesty. Meanwhile, Trump is warning countries, you know,
don't do this, don't you try and put training wheels
on big tech giants. But Australia's Communication Minister Anika Wells
is not worried about that.
Speaker 7 (02:37):
I am firm and unintimidated by those companies continuing to
act the way that they have chosen to act for
so long.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Views and views you trust to start your day. It's
earlier this ship with Bryan Bridge and are the Supercenter explore?
Are these excess or reasons servicing fall than one? News
talks'd be.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Text has gone nine minutes after five this story. And
normally I don't go near these stories about the school
lunches because it's just at It's usually a bunch of
unions slash teachers slash parents just having a big winge
when if things were that bad, the kids would just
eat the food. In this case, yeah, they were moldy lunches,
so you kind of go, well, someone has to answer
to that, you know, is it the worst thing in
(03:20):
the world.
Speaker 8 (03:20):
No.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
In fact, the school says no kids were sick, no absences,
no reports of kids needing treatment for food poisoning. There
was one woman who spoke yesterday to Morning Report on
our n Z who has if you're a parent saying,
David seeenwoill cut the funding for the lunches. I mean,
if you're a parent and your child needs a lunch,
how do you have time to do an interview with
(03:42):
Morning Report in the morning. Anyway, So there's this whole
thing going on, and then the Food Safety regulated Food
Safety Inza comes out and says, actually, we on the
balance of probabilities, it was the school that was likely
at fault. When they didn't quite say that, they just
said that what's most likely to have happened is that
(04:03):
the food was delivered on the Thursday and then the
kids hated on the Monday and it's been left unrefrigerated
in the meantime. And so basically it's on the school.
That's the reading between the lines of it. Now, what
makes this interesting is the school principle. This is the
media frequent flyer that David Seymour referred to She comes
(04:24):
out last night and says, no, no, they did not
leave anything behind. They have brought rancid, moldy food into
my school. Heated up on Monday. And how do I
know this because I got she's got the receipts. CCTV
footage proves this, and she says that she showed the
(04:44):
footage to the food safety people. So who are you
to believe? Either way? It's bad Like either way. If
the principle of a school is lying, that's bad because
they're in charge of a school. And if the Food
Safe d people are lying, that's bad because they're in
charge of food safety. This is just the most intriguing story.
(05:06):
I say. To get to the bottom of this, release
the footage, Ryan Bridge, five eleven, News TALKSB. We'll get
to those Diry Trade auction numbers in a second. Plus
Liam Lawson some reaction to every security seat as we
expected he would, which is great. All of that Ahead
News Talks dB, the news you need.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
This morning, and the in depth analysis early edition with
Ryan Bridge and are the Supercenter explore r VS accessories
and servicing fall in one.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
News TALKSB five thirteen We had another global dairy trade
auction last night down four point three percent. That is
another drop, and for whole milk powdered down two point
four percent, not quite as bad as the overall average
skim milk powder down one point six percent. They make
up the majority of what we export. But look at
what happens now to production both in the US and Europe,
because is this price is more a reflection they reckon
(05:56):
of supply coming on board rather than demand falling away
on Terra's forecast has obviously already been downgraded, so we'll
wait and see what happens would supply fourteen after five
ray Bridge new data shows one in five school principles
quit within their first year, and in total, almost one
thousand left the job over the past three years. About
three hundred and fifty jobs have been advertised each year
(06:16):
since twenty twenty two, and an NZDI survey found seventy
three percent of principles are likely to quit within five years.
Andy England is Darfield's high school principal with us this morning. Gooday, Andy, yeah, man, Ryan,
good to have you on the show. And now many
of these principles left the role to go to a
job at another school or were actually on a fixed
term contract anyway, So did they just not like the
(06:39):
school and move on to another one? You know, is
this really big deal?
Speaker 6 (06:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (06:44):
Quite possibly.
Speaker 9 (06:44):
I had a look to try and find that data
and didn't see the ends of the eye stuff. I
did have a look through some information in the secondary
sector that I'm involved in, and it's a similar sort
of pattern. All the accounts for the reasons. Moving on
like that obviously may not be a bad thing, but
I think the other points you've got in your article
are quite right. It's a high pressure time and it
(07:05):
would be fair to say that in the last five
years pressures have increased. So, I mean, it's a beautiful job,
but I think the first thing for me to say
is it's a job that I love and when it's
going well, it's the most amazing job in the world.
But of course it's an exposed position. You're effectively a CEO,
your heart of a community, which I think is a
fantastic place to be. But things are going badly. You're
(07:27):
also very visible to everybody and you reckon.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
This is not curriculum related. The stresses you're talking about
over the last few years it's more COVID.
Speaker 9 (07:37):
Oh no, look at the curriculum stuff is it hasn't
been going to go on going for a while. Increased
pressure right now, I'm going to call it. Both the
last government and this government have stuffed up change management
really badly, i should say to and increasingly pushed us
around as an educational football. So that puts a lot
of pressure on principles who are like the rock in
(08:00):
a rock and a hard place. I mean, you're standing
in front of your community trying to lead in the
direction that your your master's from from from politics want
you to go. But at the same time you may
not agree with all of that, and you may not
you may see that it's actually having a harmful impact.
You look for the Ministry of Education take a good lead,
(08:20):
and that's been hopeless, hopeless when you start between those problems,
it is hard to at times. It's hard to lead
with the integrity that you'd like to when you get
into the job as a principle.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Yeah, is it is it. It's the job harder because
the teachers have an idea of what they think they
should be doing, and the government has its idea of
what it should be doing. Shouldn't the teachers be doing
what they told.
Speaker 9 (08:46):
Well to a point, But I mean, everybody has an opinion,
and that's both politically. But I think one of the
issues we're facing in this country compared to some others
that are going through educational change, is that, as I say,
both the last government and this government have just stamped
there way on education, whereas in some smarter places that
have extended the change period over say ten years.
Speaker 8 (09:06):
That.
Speaker 9 (09:08):
It allows two or three flavors of government to pass
through it during that time. It allows for more effective
change management, so people can be less stressed trying to
do it. I mean, at the same time, we've had
the post COVID environment, which we're probably sick of hearing,
but it has led to polarization of society. We've got
more sort of market consumer like demanding kind of parents.
(09:30):
They know what they want their internet informed, for good
or bad, and so the pressures we've got, increased neurodiversity
in classrooms, actual funding has decreased to run schools.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
A whole bunch of stuff, whole bunch of issues going
on there. Andy, I appreciate your time this morning. It's
five to eighteen. That's Andy England. He's Dartfield High School
principal with us so a good guy. We've had him
on the show many times. I wonder whether the fact
that the change is happening quickly from the government because
the results of been so bad. News Talk's head be.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
The first word on the News of the day early
edition with Ryan Bridge and r V Supercenter explore r
v's accessories and servicing all in one News.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Talks d B five twenty. A lot of interest in
the food MOLDI food story, isn't there from the school
in christ Church that Weirdly have you noticed it's not
called a school, it's called a community campus. I don't
know why they do that, but anyway, Ryan, they should
be able to tell if the moldy food had been
held by the school, because hopefully what was delivered on
Thursday is likely to have been different to the meal
that was delivered on the Monday. That is a good point.
(10:35):
That is a very good point, and we will get
to the bottom of this. Don't you worry about that, Ryan.
The food story seems to have morphed into the biggest
news item in the last couple of days. Will there
be an official review like the mixed skimming case. Well there,
damn well should be Ryan Bridge. William Lawson will keep
his Racing Bulls seat for twenty twenty six Red Bulls
confirmed laws and will stay on and the junior team
alongside Arvid Lindblood, who's earning his F one deboot, a
(10:58):
Yuki Sonoda getting the boot. Isaac Hedger is stepping up
next to Max Verstappen. Eric Thompson is former motorcycle racer
and Herold motorsport journalist with us this morning, Eric, Good morning.
Speaker 10 (11:09):
Good morning, Ryan. How are you.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I'm very well, Thank you. No, You've known nine Lamb
since he was just a wee lad thirteen or so.
This is good news for him to be staying in contention.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
Ma.
Speaker 10 (11:21):
I'd like it's a shame it's the same as a
race this weekend because I think he would have been
puttying all night as he possibly could have, you know.
And a relief that he's got a seat for next
year because it's especially Formula one's cutthroat anyway, and I've
always been a big believer and a lot of people
(11:41):
don't quite understand. I think sometimes Ryan that just to
gift a Formula one and to get on that grid
is a mountain higher than Everest to climb, and you
tend to forget he's one of twenty of the best drivers.
Speaker 8 (11:53):
In the world.
Speaker 10 (11:54):
But to be confirmed for next year will be a
mighty relief for him, his support crew, his management, Bamba's dad,
his family and all the other people that have supported
him emotionally this year. And I just think it is
a fantastic result.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Eric, how much does he have to prove this year?
Speaker 10 (12:12):
Well, for twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Yeah, sorry, yeah.
Speaker 10 (12:17):
Sorry mate. Well he's still got a race to go
this year, so he can't just suddenly sit back and chill. No,
you're right there, he can't. You know, there's still something
to go in this year. But for twenty twenty six,
it's that will be the year for him to cement
his position on a Formula One grid, you know, and
once you do that, you know you could get a
(12:37):
five to ten year career.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
You know.
Speaker 10 (12:39):
There's a lot of drivers there that a lot of
teams really appreciated for their solid performance. And another thing
that is incredibly important to these teams as constructors points championships.
A lot of the teams, although they say they like
the drivers, they think it's a wonderful those teams want
to win the constructors or the Man of Factorious title
(13:00):
because that's where all the money comes from the bank,
their chunk of change. The bank roll the teams. So
for next year, part of Lem's job will be to
keep burning points in every race. Of course they wanted
to win or get on the podium without a doubt,
but it's more about accumulating points. So at the end
of twenty twenty six they stayed v car Red Bulls,
(13:21):
stayed fift six seventh in the championship, pick up tens
of millions of euros to go towards the following year,
and if he can cement himself next year, he'll be
there for as long as he probably wants to be.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Brilliant. Fantastic result, great news to be confirmed for us
this morning. Eric, appreciate your time. Eric Thompson, former motorcycle racer,
hero motorsport journalist on the news about Liam Lawson twenty
four minutes after five on news Talks. They'd be next.
If you didn't see this story yesterday about a guy
from the North Island who stole basically stole the frauded
one point eight million bucks from US taxpayers. I'll tell
(13:56):
you about it next the early.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Edition Full the Show podcast on IHARM Radio Power by Newstalks, Eb.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Five, twenty six News Talks AB. This story should shock everybody,
but sadly, I don't think it's going to the headline
from yesterday. Former COVID response leads stole one point eight
million dollars from dhb's a from US from taxpayers. Name
is Alistair Thorby. This guy was twenty five years old,
yet somehow managed to be in charge of the dhb's
(14:27):
response to the COVID pandemic in the Low and North Island.
How he bought cars, a holiday, a house even with
this money. He was an MiQ boss basically submitted invoices
for work that never happened. One invoice was for three
hundred thousand dollars. Two of the companies the invoice four
didn't even exist. Now this is bad for two reasons. One,
(14:50):
howard on Earth does some twenty five year old who's
been in the job for just five months bill one
point eight million dollars and get those invoices paid. That's
criminal who signed off on the checks, who was in charge?
That is outrageous. Number Two, the timing. The judge in
the case points out that the money went out the
door at a time when the government was scrambling to
deal with COVID. Except this guy was employed October twenty
(15:14):
twenty one to June twenty twenty two. We were letting
DJs through the border for rhythm and vines. By then
the Wiggles were performing Big Red Car at Spark Arena,
So that doesn't add up in my mind. It wasn't
Panic stations. It was business as usual by then for COVID.
So who was writing the checks on our behalf? Something
(15:37):
tells me this guy probably wasn't alone in taking the purse,
taking us for a rider's taxpayers. Give frauds toes an inch,
they'll take a mile. This was, after all, peak adern
Hipkin's money tap error, and the tap was on and
it was hosing out. We were throwing money out the
window like there was no tomorrow. Was this the tip
of the iceberg? And will anyone other than the guy
(15:58):
who duped us all be held responsible for the fact
it was allowed to happen in the first place. Bryan
Bridge by twenty eight, don't hate billionaires. There's so many
texts coming in on the school lunches, which I love.
Don't hate billionaires that they do good things sometimes, including
the Dells. You know, Dell Computers and Michael and Susan
are their names. They're donating wait for it, six point
(16:22):
two billion dot. This is American billion dollars for savings
account for roughly twenty five million American children. Well, thank you,
how lovely of you billionaires. The Dells will seed accounts
with two hundred and fifty bucks for children ten or
under who were born before twenty twenty five, because what
Trump has done over there is interesting. For any kid
(16:45):
born between twenty twenty five and twenty twenty eight, the
government is putting one thousand dollars into an account that
will be invested tax to third. All kids American citizens
born twenty five to twenty eight. Get this money and
what the Dells have come out and see that's great,
awesome start for those kids who miss out, for anyone
born before twenty twenty five, and we'll put some money
(17:06):
into So there you go, six point two billion dollars
from a billionaire. Loads more to come here on News
Talks B we'll get to the UK. More prisoners being
let out and running around. How do you do that accidentally?
How do you accidentally? Or there's John, there's Susan, there's
Bob and not check anyway, that's next. News Talks h B.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan
Bridge and r V Supercenter explore RVs accessories and servicing
all in one.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
News Talks B twenty four Away from the Sex on
your Wednesday morning. You're on News Talks. It'd be great
to have your company coming up before six. The Police
Association on their new Targets Somewhere in the UK with
Gavin Gray. I'm thinking this morning of a christ Church
Jerry owner the or Power Road convenience store. I should
(18:06):
say Robb's three young people. One of them has been arrested,
a fourteen year old. For goodness sake, it's been arrested
and his mates are still on the run. But the
dairy owner's name is kam Lesh Patel, and cam Lesh
Patel's daughter has spoken about his condition. He was stabbed,
goes to work in the morning, goes in early, in fact,
goes to work every day from six thirty am to
(18:26):
nine pm, works hard for his money. Good on you,
cam Lesh stabbed just for doing his job. They come in,
they take allegedly they take the till, and he chases
them out the door because he says, I'm not going
to let this happen. This guy has already had a
gun pointed at him previously, he's fought off a masked
man with his wife and his daughter previously. These are
(18:48):
on separate occasions. And now he's been stabbed in their hand.
He's got damaged to his veins, three stab wounds. Poor
guy still in hospital. Family's worried about him. Of course,
good on you. I hope he's okay. And the reason
that he got stabbed, and I'm not saying you should
run after people, that is because he chased them out
the door. I hope you're all right, cam Lesh, and
(19:11):
you can get back to your hard work soon. It's
twenty three to two sexw reporters around the country, Clum
and Toned and Colum, good morning, morning, right, tell us
about this otago U need to study basically says, where
you are what you eat. Yeah, that's it's correct.
Speaker 8 (19:25):
The look.
Speaker 11 (19:26):
The results of the study are a world first. It
shows a connection between glowing skin and a healthy diet.
They've uncovered researchers that is, have uncovered a rich vitamin
CEA diet has more skin benefits than your skin products
off the shelf. So participants here they ate two key
we fruit a day for eight weeks, revealing that delivering
vitamin C to the skin from within boosts collagen production
(19:50):
more effectively than your creams. Also improves skin thickness, strength,
and overall revitalization. The lead authors pre Professor Marguerite's visus.
She says, skins extremely responsive to diet. So the more
vitamin C that we eat are the more that's reflected
in our skin.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Two key we free today and we'll all look younger. Great.
Speaker 11 (20:09):
Apparently capsure comes in broccoli also good as well.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Okay, all right, just writting that down and we'll tell
Hosking as well. How's your weather?
Speaker 11 (20:18):
The odd shower for toded and today, but clearing late
afternoon the high fifteen.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Nice one, thank you clear in christ Church morning, clear,
good morning. Our police have set up a special operation.
Well this is timely after the dairy incident in Spike
and Youth crime. Yeah, that dairy incident is terrible, as
you say.
Speaker 12 (20:35):
The man who owns the or Power dairy and that
fourteen year old arrested. As you said there, they are
looking for further offenders in relation to that particular crime.
But this comes in amongst a couple of weeks of
a spike in crime around christ Church. Police say they
really want to keep the momentum in knuckling down on
this youth offending, specifically in the wider christ Church area,
(20:55):
because we have faced this peak. Assistant Commissioner Tousha Penny
says the operation they've launched will help to support specialist
youth officers while also working alongside ordering a tamody key.
But it is broader than an interagency issue. She says
they need to work with communities and FARNO to make
long term change, especially as they head into a potentially
(21:18):
high volume crime period.
Speaker 7 (21:19):
Moving towards summer.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
How's your weather.
Speaker 12 (21:23):
Clouding over this morning? There is a few spots of
rain about southeasterly strengthening for a time and a maximum
of fifteen degrees.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
I think clear. Thank you, maxim Wellington, Hey Max, good morning. Now.
I saw this story yesterday. Ratepayer money wasted badly managed
contracts and actually they are not sure how much.
Speaker 13 (21:40):
Yeah, this is the type of story that almost feels
like it was written by AI because it's so predictable.
What we do know is this a Deloitte probe of
the City Council's finances has discovered poor oversight of council
contracts could be costing ratepayers tens of millions of dollars
poor bookkeeping. Ultimately, it's of course, on to the last week.
(22:00):
Last week's revelation that the Council's probably bloated my well
over three hundred rolls as well. But I'll give you
a figure that really boils the blood. Only twenty percent
of contracts with external providers are even being tracked in
the council's contract management system. The correct processes are just
being skipped over. They're rolling over the contracts without any
(22:21):
sort of oversight. And the report estimates we would save
tens of millions of dollars if senior council staff just
did their job. The newer chief executive concedes they're not
doing best practice. The new mayor says, well, it's good
we know now not just Wellington Water that's been ripping
off ratepayers.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Yeah, and you're just confirmation Wellington's totally crap the bed,
haven't they?
Speaker 13 (22:42):
How's the weather exactly rainy for much of today with
stronger southerly seventeen today's high.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Nice one, thanks Max, Luke, says Ryan. There's nothing new
in that world first study that we lid with KELLM. Yeah,
I suppose this is not what you are what you
eat basically neither good morning.
Speaker 7 (22:57):
Good morning. Well that's what everyone is talking about it
here we fruit.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah, a couple of keepy fruit today you're got ten
years younger.
Speaker 7 (23:03):
Teen years younger face fruit.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
But that's going to change. How much retinal scrub or
not scrub, but moisturizer will cost you. How much apparently
and I heard this from a reliable source yesterday, two
hundred and fifty dollars for a little cart and a
little punet of it get out of town. Yeah this
mean to make you look younger and more vibrant or
what even just stick a ke fruit down you godly?
Speaker 7 (23:26):
Well yes, and I mean people were just saying out
there it's keep fruit.
Speaker 10 (23:29):
The gold.
Speaker 7 (23:29):
I see, I don't like the gold.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
I like the green, I don't like the real that's
at which one grand gold to get a neck now
the hot pink cycle way and people will know this
in Auckland celebrating ten years today? Is anyone using it yet?
Speaker 7 (23:42):
Didn't you know it was called the light pas I
didn't know. I said to the news or what was
this that? They said, it's called the light path. They said,
oh my goodness, and I said the same thing. Who's
using it? And I was poo poo, shut down. They
said there are lots of people using it.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Oh whatever.
Speaker 7 (23:56):
The first couple of years when I was I was
the only one down there on that pink path. But
happy birthday because apparently over the last ten years, cumulative
two million cycle trips over the light pass.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Over ten years. Hang on, we're going to do the
maths on that.
Speaker 7 (24:14):
Apparently the Auckland Council says just last year alone, a
quarter of a million cycling trips were recording on that pathway.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Okay, I think the problem with it is that doesn't
go anywhere. It doesn't link on too the CBD. Yeah,
it doesn't link up with anything at either end. I
had run on it before a.
Speaker 7 (24:30):
Couple yes, well I think more people run and walk
on it. Ye mind you now you're going to be
inundated with all the cyclists messaging you, texting you go
oh yeahay.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Shut up. Yes, cycles aren't listening to the show, right, Wow?
Speaker 7 (24:46):
Wait do you start with this? We've got rain, heavy falls,
thunderstorm's downpaurs hoil, possible gale force ones tonight. I kid
you not like twenty five?
Speaker 2 (24:53):
All right, we'll take here never thank you. It is
seventeen minutes away from sex news talks. It'd be we'll
get to the UK would give it next news talks
they be. It is fourteen minutes away from six bit
of Arjibaji over. This is in the East China Sea
over between Japan and China. You know that they've got
a new prime minister there in Japan. Takaichi is her name.
(25:13):
She's a bit of a hawk on China and has
mates of comments about Taiwan. China doesn't like them. So
it's all kind of kicking off there, not in a
major way, just a bit of scrapping. You know, they
are in my waters, No, you're in my waters, overlapping claims,
all that kind of stuff. Bit of a flash point
one to watch in the next couple of days. Two weeks.
(25:33):
Also this morning I saw it the very interesting article
from the Wall Street Journal this morning about you know
how everyone says on we can green the economy and
everything will be fine. Here is what this Wall Street
Journal article talks about With Europe. European politicians pitched the
continent's green transition to voters as a win win. Citizens
(25:54):
would benefit from green jobs, cheap, abundant solar and wind energy,
alongside of sharp reduction in carbon emissions. Two decades on,
the promises largely proved costly for consumers and damaging for
the economy. Well well, who would have thought and where
have we heard this before? Europe has succeeded in slashing
carbon emissions more than any other region, thirty percent from
(26:14):
two thousand and five levels, compared with a seventeen percent
drop for the US. But along the way, the rush
to renewables has helped drive up electricity prices in much
of the continent. Germany now has the highest domestic electricity
prices in the developed world. The UK has the highest
industrial electricity rates. That this is according to the International
(26:36):
Energy Agency. Italy isn't far behind. Average electricity prices for
heavy industries in the European Union remain roughly twice those
in the US and fifty percent above China. Energy prices
unsurprisingly quite volatile because renewables have increased. It is crippling
industry and you cannot say that going green doesn't cost
(26:58):
you a thing twelve to cent Bryan bred John News talks,
there have been Police Commissioner Richard Chambers set out new
twenty twenty six targets. This is to lift public trust
in police. He wants eighty percent confidence in the force,
eighty percent satisfaction and how they deal with the public,
and a fifteen percent drop in public violence and retail crime. Steve,
what is Police Association President with me this morning? Steve?
(27:19):
Good morning, Ladena, Thanks for having me, But so a
bit of a jump that's needed. Sixty nine percent currently
trust and confidence in police? Can you do that? Do
you Reckon?
Speaker 8 (27:29):
Oh? Look, we absolutely can. And it's good to have
goals and set challenges. I mean, who wouldn't want to
achieve eighty percent of New Zealanders having trust and confidence
in the police. It's something that we all strive for.
What we need to know is sort of the detail
behind that, and our members want to know how are
we going to get there? What's the details? That's what's
(27:51):
lacking at the moment.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Must be a bit frustrating for frontline, because it's actually
top brasses that's been doing more damage than they have.
Speaker 8 (28:00):
Important to note that our members are doing it pretty
tough out there at the moment. They're facing ridicule from
the public as a result of what's happened out of
the Mixican in case, and that's really tough on the membership.
So you know, a focus has to be on them
and building that trust, and focus on building the relationships
between the executive and the constaborary employees if we're going
(28:21):
to have any chance of heading these targets.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
What sort of ridicule are they getting.
Speaker 8 (28:28):
Oh, look, there's taunts out there from the public. There's
all sorts, really, but you know that is from a
limited few of the public. But our members are seeing it,
they are facing it. You know, we've got front facing front,
counter staff, one O five staff. I can Stabburary out
there on the beat. They're all suffering a bit of
(28:48):
taunting and a bit of a bit of jib as
a result of this.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
It sucks. There's always going to be a portion of
society who will never trust police no matter what you do.
Speaker 8 (28:56):
Right there is that consider and you know, not everyone's
happy with us and what we do. But ultimately it's
about getting out there, you know, getting into those crimes,
you know, stopping those burglaries. That's where we build the
trust and confidence and that's where the vast majority of
New Zealanders see policing, and that's where they build that
(29:19):
trust and confidence from seeing what our members are doing
out there every day.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Part of the problem I think for police has been
actually the justice system. So you guys have been holding
up your endo, the bargain and then they go through
the justice system and it's a wet bus ticket. Is
that something that frontline offices actually find annoying?
Speaker 8 (29:40):
Look, it is tough. We are seeing more people heading
to prison, more people heading to jail. We are seeing
some sentences that are that are appropriate and good, but
there's still some work to do there in the judicial system,
just to make sure that you know, the effort that
our members are putting in is reflecting sentences that are
(30:00):
being handed out.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Appreciate your time this morning, Steve Steve Watt, Police Association President,
On those new targets that Chambers is set. It is
nine to six News talksb on your.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with Ryan Bridge
and are the supercenter. Explore are these accessories and servicing
all in one.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
News Talks dB siven A six on your Wednesday morning.
The UK government, you know how they keep releasing prisoners
over there and they shouldn't have released them. They're doing
it accidentally. Well, they have admitted now twelve prisoners accidentally
released just in the past three weeks. Two of them
they still haven't managed to find. This is on top
of the ninety one who were freed by a mistake
between April and October and England and Wales. There's no
(30:44):
one checking Ryan Bridge, not Mike is in the studio.
Make good morning, greetings Ryan. Someone says the price of
Kiwi fruit be cheaper to get a facelift. Did you
see the story this morning about the a study out
of the University of Otago. Because I know you're in
your beauty regiment. If you eat vitamin see high does
vitamin C, your skin will be far better off than
(31:06):
if you put creams on your face. It's got an.
Speaker 14 (31:08):
Extremely good skin for a person my age and having
been and no, no, no, don't look at it that way,
because I've been checked by experts, people in the makeup department.
When I was working in television. There was just a
constant commentary of how lovely my skin was.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
For a person my age, it wasn't just makeup art.
It's trying to play. Because I puffed you up before
you go on there.
Speaker 14 (31:28):
I thought that. Initially, I thought, hang on, this is
a stitch up here, this is how television works. But no,
apparently it is, and it's got to it's the green
because of course people don't like the green. They're like
the gold because it sugar is very, very sweet. But
the green is where the action is. And if you
have a couple of greens per day, you can do
no wrong.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
And do you put cream on at night? Of course
I do.
Speaker 14 (31:50):
Yeah, it's got written on in it absolutely.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Rettel's bloody expense. I found out yesterday from third that
it's two hundred and fifty dollars just for a little.
Speaker 14 (31:57):
It depends on what sort. It's like anything you can
but you can pay a lot or not as much.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
But I do a I do.
Speaker 14 (32:03):
It's a very interesting subject, right, I do a little
moisturizer in the morning, yeah, with a little something under
the eye day moisturi, A night one night cream which
is the night creams I've got two night creams, not
at the same time, but one's a detox night cream, right,
and one's a rejuvenating night cream. Also a little face
oil in that.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Case, So which one do you put on first? The
detox of the reduciation doesn't matter.
Speaker 14 (32:24):
Separate, separate, So there're two different products you put the
sets of circumstances.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
You put one on and then you wake up and
wash it off and put the other one on.
Speaker 14 (32:32):
Or well, no, you you put the night cream on,
then you were in the morning, you put the day
cream on.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
It's not hard, right.
Speaker 14 (32:37):
So then also, and this is where Katie and I
have this, this this tete a tete. I also put
a facial oil on and she goes, you shouldn't mix
the two together. Ah, and so I disagree.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Well, Katie is I'm in Katie's camp, fergs in your
camp because there's three oils he puts on and the
night cream. You know you can over oil you can.
And then look at the pillow. Oh no, it.
Speaker 14 (33:03):
Absorbs before you go there. And the next question is
what sort of pillow is it? Is it silk or
is it linen?
Speaker 2 (33:08):
It's linen.
Speaker 14 (33:09):
It's got to be linen. You can't beat linen, can you.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
You can't put silk on a bed and expect to
have it comfortable.
Speaker 14 (33:14):
Sometimes I have one idea on two pillows. I do
two pillows, one silk, one linen.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Oh well, we're very How many heads have you got?
Speaker 8 (33:21):
Very?
Speaker 14 (33:22):
No, one on top one very good for your skin
and hair. Silk as a fabric.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Actually, I've got My sister in law has a little
is it called a bonnet, you know, like a little
scarf that she and puts on her little girl's here
at night and wake up looking beautiful.
Speaker 14 (33:38):
And that's from the old days. You realized when we
used to set there here at night. Yeah, you set
your hair at night and put your bond on. You
wake up one ago in the night. You're very rarely
here this on Morning reporte.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
No, you never would. That's boring over there, Mike said,
your next Wednesday Morning News Talk ZB.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
For more from earlier edition with Ryan Bridge, listen live
to Newstalk SETB from five am weekdays, or follow the
podcast on iHeartRadio.
The issues, the interviews and the insight. Ryan Bridge on
early erdship with r the Supercenter, explore r V successories
and servicing all in one news.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Talks the morning six after five. Great to have your
company this morning. Another big four for dairy prices will
bring you across that and police targets. They're trying to
deal with trust at police. We'll look at that before
six this morning. We're in the UK. More prisoners accidentally
released there and Liam Lawson gets his seat as expected.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
The agenda.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
It is Wednesday, the third December. We've heard this before,
but Zelensky reckons they are closer than ever to ending
the war.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Does something still need to be work tapped from what time?
America's taking serious steps to one way and our times
and I'm sure that this is our common task for
everyone in Europe is to really and this there war,
not just to get to course.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
And talks are happening in Moscow right now, and Putin
apparently has just left the Kremlin on way to them
and his Trump's son in law, Kushna, he's the Wickcoff's
going to.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
The wording of what compromises could be made to try
and satisfy both parties. That's what's being presented to the Kremlin.
When the meeting with Putin and Wickoff and Kushna finally happens.
Big question is whether Putin's going to accept that, whether
he thinks those potential concessions go far enough they give
(01:27):
Russia the victory that Putin wants so much.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
To the US the White Houses, it wasn't Higgsith that
ordered these sick and strike to finish off the Niico terrorists.
It was a Navy admirald, So.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Clarify, Admiral Bradley was the one to give that order
for a second, and.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
He was well within his authority to do so.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
Admiral Browley worked well within his authority in the law.
He directed the engagement to ensure the boat was destroyed
and the threat of narco terrorists to the United States
was completely eliminated.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Now to Australia, fifteen year old because this band on
social media, is it really going to work? Are they
just going to get around that there's a fifteen year old,
the teenager who is suing the government over the band
and it's come to the place next week. His argument
that the teenagers will just use it anyway.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
You just have to show an ID. What's stopping me
or my peers from getting their older brother's ID or
their parents' ID. I definitely know that a lot of
my mates are going to do it, and I probably
will do it as well.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
I love the honesty. Meanwhile, Trump is warning countries, you know,
don't do this, don't you try and put training wheels
on big tech giants. But Australia's Communication Minister Anika Wells
is not worried about that.
Speaker 7 (02:37):
I am firm and unintimidated by those companies continuing to
act the way that they have chosen to act for
so long.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Views and views you trust to start your day. It's
earlier this ship with Bryan Bridge and are the Supercenter explore?
Are these excess or reasons servicing fall than one? News
talks'd be.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Text has gone nine minutes after five this story. And
normally I don't go near these stories about the school
lunches because it's just at It's usually a bunch of
unions slash teachers slash parents just having a big winge
when if things were that bad, the kids would just
eat the food. In this case, yeah, they were moldy lunches,
so you kind of go, well, someone has to answer
to that, you know, is it the worst thing in
(03:20):
the world.
Speaker 8 (03:20):
No.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
In fact, the school says no kids were sick, no absences,
no reports of kids needing treatment for food poisoning. There
was one woman who spoke yesterday to Morning Report on
our n Z who has if you're a parent saying,
David seeenwoill cut the funding for the lunches. I mean,
if you're a parent and your child needs a lunch,
how do you have time to do an interview with
(03:42):
Morning Report in the morning. Anyway, So there's this whole
thing going on, and then the Food Safety regulated Food
Safety Inza comes out and says, actually, we on the
balance of probabilities, it was the school that was likely
at fault. When they didn't quite say that, they just
said that what's most likely to have happened is that
(04:03):
the food was delivered on the Thursday and then the
kids hated on the Monday and it's been left unrefrigerated
in the meantime. And so basically it's on the school.
That's the reading between the lines of it. Now, what
makes this interesting is the school principle. This is the
media frequent flyer that David Seymour referred to She comes
(04:24):
out last night and says, no, no, they did not
leave anything behind. They have brought rancid, moldy food into
my school. Heated up on Monday. And how do I
know this because I got she's got the receipts. CCTV
footage proves this, and she says that she showed the
(04:44):
footage to the food safety people. So who are you
to believe? Either way? It's bad Like either way. If
the principle of a school is lying, that's bad because
they're in charge of a school. And if the Food
Safe d people are lying, that's bad because they're in
charge of food safety. This is just the most intriguing story.
(05:06):
I say. To get to the bottom of this, release
the footage, Ryan Bridge, five eleven, News TALKSB. We'll get
to those Diry Trade auction numbers in a second. Plus
Liam Lawson some reaction to every security seat as we
expected he would, which is great. All of that Ahead
News Talks dB, the news you need.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
This morning, and the in depth analysis early edition with
Ryan Bridge and are the Supercenter explore r VS accessories
and servicing fall in one.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
News TALKSB five thirteen We had another global dairy trade
auction last night down four point three percent. That is
another drop, and for whole milk powdered down two point
four percent, not quite as bad as the overall average
skim milk powder down one point six percent. They make
up the majority of what we export. But look at
what happens now to production both in the US and Europe,
because is this price is more a reflection they reckon
(05:56):
of supply coming on board rather than demand falling away
on Terra's forecast has obviously already been downgraded, so we'll
wait and see what happens would supply fourteen after five
ray Bridge new data shows one in five school principles
quit within their first year, and in total, almost one
thousand left the job over the past three years. About
three hundred and fifty jobs have been advertised each year
(06:16):
since twenty twenty two, and an NZDI survey found seventy
three percent of principles are likely to quit within five years.
Andy England is Darfield's high school principal with us this morning. Gooday, Andy, yeah, man, Ryan,
good to have you on the show. And now many
of these principles left the role to go to a
job at another school or were actually on a fixed
term contract anyway, So did they just not like the
(06:39):
school and move on to another one? You know, is
this really big deal?
Speaker 6 (06:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (06:44):
Quite possibly.
Speaker 9 (06:44):
I had a look to try and find that data
and didn't see the ends of the eye stuff. I
did have a look through some information in the secondary
sector that I'm involved in, and it's a similar sort
of pattern. All the accounts for the reasons. Moving on
like that obviously may not be a bad thing, but
I think the other points you've got in your article
are quite right. It's a high pressure time and it
(07:05):
would be fair to say that in the last five
years pressures have increased. So, I mean, it's a beautiful job,
but I think the first thing for me to say
is it's a job that I love and when it's
going well, it's the most amazing job in the world.
But of course it's an exposed position. You're effectively a CEO,
your heart of a community, which I think is a
fantastic place to be. But things are going badly. You're
(07:27):
also very visible to everybody and you reckon.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
This is not curriculum related. The stresses you're talking about
over the last few years it's more COVID.
Speaker 9 (07:37):
Oh no, look at the curriculum stuff is it hasn't
been going to go on going for a while. Increased
pressure right now, I'm going to call it. Both the
last government and this government have stuffed up change management
really badly, i should say to and increasingly pushed us
around as an educational football. So that puts a lot
of pressure on principles who are like the rock in
(08:00):
a rock and a hard place. I mean, you're standing
in front of your community trying to lead in the
direction that your your master's from from from politics want
you to go. But at the same time you may
not agree with all of that, and you may not
you may see that it's actually having a harmful impact.
You look for the Ministry of Education take a good lead,
(08:20):
and that's been hopeless, hopeless when you start between those problems,
it is hard to at times. It's hard to lead
with the integrity that you'd like to when you get
into the job as a principle.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Yeah, is it is it. It's the job harder because
the teachers have an idea of what they think they
should be doing, and the government has its idea of
what it should be doing. Shouldn't the teachers be doing
what they told.
Speaker 9 (08:46):
Well to a point, But I mean, everybody has an opinion,
and that's both politically. But I think one of the
issues we're facing in this country compared to some others
that are going through educational change, is that, as I say,
both the last government and this government have just stamped
there way on education, whereas in some smarter places that
have extended the change period over say ten years.
Speaker 8 (09:06):
That.
Speaker 9 (09:08):
It allows two or three flavors of government to pass
through it during that time. It allows for more effective
change management, so people can be less stressed trying to
do it. I mean, at the same time, we've had
the post COVID environment, which we're probably sick of hearing,
but it has led to polarization of society. We've got
more sort of market consumer like demanding kind of parents.
(09:30):
They know what they want their internet informed, for good
or bad, and so the pressures we've got, increased neurodiversity
in classrooms, actual funding has decreased to run schools.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
A whole bunch of stuff, whole bunch of issues going
on there. Andy, I appreciate your time this morning. It's
five to eighteen. That's Andy England. He's Dartfield High School
principal with us so a good guy. We've had him
on the show many times. I wonder whether the fact
that the change is happening quickly from the government because
the results of been so bad. News Talk's head be.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
The first word on the News of the day early
edition with Ryan Bridge and r V Supercenter explore r
v's accessories and servicing all in one News.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Talks d B five twenty. A lot of interest in
the food MOLDI food story, isn't there from the school
in christ Church that Weirdly have you noticed it's not
called a school, it's called a community campus. I don't
know why they do that, but anyway, Ryan, they should
be able to tell if the moldy food had been
held by the school, because hopefully what was delivered on
Thursday is likely to have been different to the meal
that was delivered on the Monday. That is a good point.
(10:35):
That is a very good point, and we will get
to the bottom of this. Don't you worry about that, Ryan.
The food story seems to have morphed into the biggest
news item in the last couple of days. Will there
be an official review like the mixed skimming case. Well there,
damn well should be Ryan Bridge. William Lawson will keep
his Racing Bulls seat for twenty twenty six Red Bulls
confirmed laws and will stay on and the junior team
alongside Arvid Lindblood, who's earning his F one deboot, a
(10:58):
Yuki Sonoda getting the boot. Isaac Hedger is stepping up
next to Max Verstappen. Eric Thompson is former motorcycle racer
and Herold motorsport journalist with us this morning, Eric, Good morning.
Speaker 10 (11:09):
Good morning, Ryan. How are you.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I'm very well, Thank you. No, You've known nine Lamb
since he was just a wee lad thirteen or so.
This is good news for him to be staying in contention.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
Ma.
Speaker 10 (11:21):
I'd like it's a shame it's the same as a
race this weekend because I think he would have been
puttying all night as he possibly could have, you know.
And a relief that he's got a seat for next
year because it's especially Formula one's cutthroat anyway, and I've
always been a big believer and a lot of people
(11:41):
don't quite understand. I think sometimes Ryan that just to
gift a Formula one and to get on that grid
is a mountain higher than Everest to climb, and you
tend to forget he's one of twenty of the best drivers.
Speaker 8 (11:53):
In the world.
Speaker 10 (11:54):
But to be confirmed for next year will be a
mighty relief for him, his support crew, his management, Bamba's dad,
his family and all the other people that have supported
him emotionally this year. And I just think it is
a fantastic result.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Eric, how much does he have to prove this year?
Speaker 10 (12:12):
Well, for twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Yeah, sorry, yeah.
Speaker 10 (12:17):
Sorry mate. Well he's still got a race to go
this year, so he can't just suddenly sit back and chill. No,
you're right there, he can't. You know, there's still something
to go in this year. But for twenty twenty six,
it's that will be the year for him to cement
his position on a Formula One grid, you know, and
once you do that, you know you could get a
(12:37):
five to ten year career.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
You know.
Speaker 10 (12:39):
There's a lot of drivers there that a lot of
teams really appreciated for their solid performance. And another thing
that is incredibly important to these teams as constructors points championships.
A lot of the teams, although they say they like
the drivers, they think it's a wonderful those teams want
to win the constructors or the Man of Factorious title
(13:00):
because that's where all the money comes from the bank,
their chunk of change. The bank roll the teams. So
for next year, part of Lem's job will be to
keep burning points in every race. Of course they wanted
to win or get on the podium without a doubt,
but it's more about accumulating points. So at the end
of twenty twenty six they stayed v car Red Bulls,
(13:21):
stayed fift six seventh in the championship, pick up tens
of millions of euros to go towards the following year,
and if he can cement himself next year, he'll be
there for as long as he probably wants to be.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Brilliant. Fantastic result, great news to be confirmed for us
this morning. Eric, appreciate your time. Eric Thompson, former motorcycle racer,
hero motorsport journalist on the news about Liam Lawson twenty
four minutes after five on news Talks. They'd be next.
If you didn't see this story yesterday about a guy

from yesterday. Former COVID response leads stole one point eight
million dollars from dhb's a from US from taxpayers. Name
is Alistair Thorby. This guy was twenty five years old,
yet somehow managed to be in charge of the dhb's
(14:27):
response to the COVID pandemic in the Low and North Island.
How he bought cars, a holiday, a house even with
this money. He was an MiQ boss basically submitted invoices
for work that never happened. One invoice was for three
hundred thousand dollars. Two of the companies the invoice four
didn't even exist. Now this is bad for two reasons. One,
(14:50):
howard on Earth does some twenty five year old who's
been in the job for just five months bill one
point eight million dollars and get those invoices paid. That's
criminal who signed off on the checks, who was in charge?
That is outrageous. Number Two, the timing. The judge in
the case points out that the money went out the
door at a time when the government was scrambling to
deal with COVID. Except this guy was employed October twenty
(15:14):
twenty one to June twenty twenty two. We were letting
DJs through the border for rhythm and vines. By then
the Wiggles were performing Big Red Car at Spark Arena,
So that doesn't add up in my mind. It wasn't
Panic stations. It was business as usual by then for COVID.
So who was writing the checks on our behalf? Something
(15:37):
tells me this guy probably wasn't alone in taking the purse,
taking us for a rider's taxpayers. Give frauds toes an inch,
they'll take a mile. This was, after all, peak adern
Hipkin's money tap error, and the tap was on and
it was hosing out. We were throwing money out the
window like there was no tomorrow. Was this the tip
of the iceberg? And will anyone other than the guy
(15:58):
who duped us all be held responsible for the fact
it was allowed to happen in the first place. Bryan
Bridge by twenty eight, don't hate billionaires. There's so many
texts coming in on the school lunches, which I love.
Don't hate billionaires that they do good things sometimes, including
the Dells. You know, Dell Computers and Michael and Susan
are their names. They're donating wait for it, six point
(16:22):
two billion dot. This is American billion dollars for savings
account for roughly twenty five million American children. Well, thank you,
how lovely of you billionaires. The Dells will seed accounts
with two hundred and fifty bucks for children ten or
under who were born before twenty twenty five, because what
Trump has done over there is interesting. For any kid
(16:45):
born between twenty twenty five and twenty twenty eight, the
government is putting one thousand dollars into an account that
will be invested tax to third. All kids American citizens
born twenty five to twenty eight. Get this money and
what the Dells have come out and see that's great,
awesome start for those kids who miss out, for anyone
born before twenty twenty five, and we'll put some money
(17:06):
into So there you go, six point two billion dollars
from a billionaire. Loads more to come here on News
Talks B we'll get to the UK. More prisoners being
let out and running around. How do you do that accidentally?
How do you accidentally? Or there's John, there's Susan, there's
Bob and not check anyway, that's next. News Talks h B.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan

Speaker 2 (17:46):
News Talks B twenty four Away from the Sex on
your Wednesday morning. You're on News Talks. It'd be great
to have your company coming up before six. The Police
Association on their new Targets Somewhere in the UK with
Gavin Gray. I'm thinking this morning of a christ Church
Jerry owner the or Power Road convenience store. I should
(18:06):
say Robb's three young people. One of them has been arrested,
a fourteen year old. For goodness sake, it's been arrested
and his mates are still on the run. But the
dairy owner's name is kam Lesh Patel, and cam Lesh
Patel's daughter has spoken about his condition. He was stabbed,
goes to work in the morning, goes in early, in fact,
goes to work every day from six thirty am to
(18:26):
nine pm, works hard for his money. Good on you,
cam Lesh stabbed just for doing his job. They come in,
they take allegedly they take the till, and he chases
them out the door because he says, I'm not going
to let this happen. This guy has already had a
gun pointed at him previously, he's fought off a masked
man with his wife and his daughter previously. These are
(18:48):
on separate occasions. And now he's been stabbed in their hand.
He's got damaged to his veins, three stab wounds. Poor
guy still in hospital. Family's worried about him. Of course,
good on you. I hope he's okay. And the reason
that he got stabbed, and I'm not saying you should
run after people, that is because he chased them out
the door. I hope you're all right, cam Lesh, and
(19:11):
you can get back to your hard work soon. It's
twenty three to two sexw reporters around the country, Clum
and Toned and Colum, good morning, morning, right, tell us
about this otago U need to study basically says, where
you are what you eat. Yeah, that's it's correct.
Speaker 8 (19:25):
The look.
Speaker 11 (19:26):
The results of the study are a world first. It
shows a connection between glowing skin and a healthy diet.
They've uncovered researchers that is, have uncovered a rich vitamin
CEA diet has more skin benefits than your skin products
off the shelf. So participants here they ate two key
we fruit a day for eight weeks, revealing that delivering
vitamin C to the skin from within boosts collagen production
(19:50):
more effectively than your creams. Also improves skin thickness, strength,
and overall revitalization. The lead authors pre Professor Marguerite's visus.
She says, skins extremely responsive to diet. So the more
vitamin C that we eat are the more that's reflected
in our skin.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Two key we free today and we'll all look younger. Great.
Speaker 11 (20:09):
Apparently capsure comes in broccoli also good as well.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Okay, all right, just writting that down and we'll tell
Hosking as well. How's your weather?
Speaker 11 (20:18):
The odd shower for toded and today, but clearing late
afternoon the high fifteen.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Nice one, thank you clear in christ Church morning, clear,
good morning. Our police have set up a special operation.
Well this is timely after the dairy incident in Spike
and Youth crime. Yeah, that dairy incident is terrible, as
you say.
Speaker 12 (20:35):
The man who owns the or Power dairy and that
fourteen year old arrested. As you said there, they are
looking for further offenders in relation to that particular crime.
But this comes in amongst a couple of weeks of
a spike in crime around christ Church. Police say they
really want to keep the momentum in knuckling down on
this youth offending, specifically in the wider christ Church area,
(20:55):
because we have faced this peak. Assistant Commissioner Tousha Penny
says the operation they've launched will help to support specialist
youth officers while also working alongside ordering a tamody key.
But it is broader than an interagency issue. She says
they need to work with communities and FARNO to make
long term change, especially as they head into a potentially
(21:18):
high volume crime period.
Speaker 7 (21:19):
Moving towards summer.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
How's your weather.
Speaker 12 (21:23):
Clouding over this morning? There is a few spots of
rain about southeasterly strengthening for a time and a maximum
of fifteen degrees.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
I think clear. Thank you, maxim Wellington, Hey Max, good morning. Now.
I saw this story yesterday. Ratepayer money wasted badly managed
contracts and actually they are not sure how much.
Speaker 13 (21:40):
Yeah, this is the type of story that almost feels
like it was written by AI because it's so predictable.
What we do know is this a Deloitte probe of
the City Council's finances has discovered poor oversight of council
contracts could be costing ratepayers tens of millions of dollars
poor bookkeeping. Ultimately, it's of course, on to the last week.
(22:00):
Last week's revelation that the Council's probably bloated my well
over three hundred rolls as well. But I'll give you
a figure that really boils the blood. Only twenty percent
of contracts with external providers are even being tracked in
the council's contract management system. The correct processes are just
being skipped over. They're rolling over the contracts without any
(22:21):
sort of oversight. And the report estimates we would save
tens of millions of dollars if senior council staff just
did their job. The newer chief executive concedes they're not
doing best practice. The new mayor says, well, it's good
we know now not just Wellington Water that's been ripping
off ratepayers.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Yeah, and you're just confirmation Wellington's totally crap the bed,
haven't they?
Speaker 13 (22:42):
How's the weather exactly rainy for much of today with
stronger southerly seventeen today's high.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Nice one, thanks Max, Luke, says Ryan. There's nothing new
in that world first study that we lid with KELLM. Yeah,
I suppose this is not what you are what you
eat basically neither good morning.
Speaker 7 (22:57):
Good morning. Well that's what everyone is talking about it
here we fruit.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah, a couple of keepy fruit today you're got ten
years younger.
Speaker 7 (23:03):
Teen years younger face fruit.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
But that's going to change. How much retinal scrub or
not scrub, but moisturizer will cost you. How much apparently
and I heard this from a reliable source yesterday, two
hundred and fifty dollars for a little cart and a
little punet of it get out of town. Yeah this
mean to make you look younger and more vibrant or
what even just stick a ke fruit down you godly?
Speaker 7 (23:26):
Well yes, and I mean people were just saying out
there it's keep fruit.
Speaker 10 (23:29):
The gold.
Speaker 7 (23:29):
I see, I don't like the gold.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
I like the green, I don't like the real that's
at which one grand gold to get a neck now
the hot pink cycle way and people will know this
in Auckland celebrating ten years today? Is anyone using it yet?
Speaker 7 (23:42):
Didn't you know it was called the light pas I
didn't know. I said to the news or what was
this that? They said, it's called the light path. They said,
oh my goodness, and I said the same thing. Who's
using it? And I was poo poo, shut down. They
said there are lots of people using it.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Oh whatever.
Speaker 7 (23:56):
The first couple of years when I was I was
the only one down there on that pink path. But
happy birthday because apparently over the last ten years, cumulative
two million cycle trips over the light pass.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Over ten years. Hang on, we're going to do the
maths on that.
Speaker 7 (24:14):
Apparently the Auckland Council says just last year alone, a
quarter of a million cycling trips were recording on that pathway.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Okay, I think the problem with it is that doesn't
go anywhere. It doesn't link on too the CBD. Yeah,
it doesn't link up with anything at either end. I
had run on it before a.
Speaker 7 (24:30):
Couple yes, well I think more people run and walk
on it. Ye mind you now you're going to be
inundated with all the cyclists messaging you, texting you go
oh yeahay.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Shut up. Yes, cycles aren't listening to the show, right, Wow?
Speaker 7 (24:46):
Wait do you start with this? We've got rain, heavy falls,
thunderstorm's downpaurs hoil, possible gale force ones tonight. I kid
you not like twenty five?
Speaker 2 (24:53):
All right, we'll take here never thank you. It is
seventeen minutes away from sex news talks. It'd be we'll
get to the UK would give it next news talks
they be. It is fourteen minutes away from six bit
of Arjibaji over. This is in the East China Sea
over between Japan and China. You know that they've got
a new prime minister there in Japan. Takaichi is her name.
(25:13):
She's a bit of a hawk on China and has
mates of comments about Taiwan. China doesn't like them. So
it's all kind of kicking off there, not in a
major way, just a bit of scrapping. You know, they
are in my waters, No, you're in my waters, overlapping claims,
all that kind of stuff. Bit of a flash point
one to watch in the next couple of days. Two weeks.
(25:33):
Also this morning I saw it the very interesting article
from the Wall Street Journal this morning about you know
how everyone says on we can green the economy and
everything will be fine. Here is what this Wall Street
Journal article talks about With Europe. European politicians pitched the
continent's green transition to voters as a win win. Citizens
(25:54):
would benefit from green jobs, cheap, abundant solar and wind energy,
alongside of sharp reduction in carbon emissions. Two decades on,
the promises largely proved costly for consumers and damaging for
the economy. Well well, who would have thought and where
have we heard this before? Europe has succeeded in slashing
carbon emissions more than any other region, thirty percent from
(26:14):
two thousand and five levels, compared with a seventeen percent
drop for the US. But along the way, the rush
to renewables has helped drive up electricity prices in much
of the continent. Germany now has the highest domestic electricity
prices in the developed world. The UK has the highest
industrial electricity rates. That this is according to the International
(26:36):
Energy Agency. Italy isn't far behind. Average electricity prices for
heavy industries in the European Union remain roughly twice those
in the US and fifty percent above China. Energy prices
unsurprisingly quite volatile because renewables have increased. It is crippling
industry and you cannot say that going green doesn't cost
(26:58):
you a thing twelve to cent Bryan bred John News talks,
there have been Police Commissioner Richard Chambers set out new
twenty twenty six targets. This is to lift public trust
in police. He wants eighty percent confidence in the force,
eighty percent satisfaction and how they deal with the public,
and a fifteen percent drop in public violence and retail crime. Steve,
what is Police Association President with me this morning? Steve?
(27:19):
Good morning, Ladena, Thanks for having me, But so a
bit of a jump that's needed. Sixty nine percent currently
trust and confidence in police? Can you do that? Do
you Reckon?
Speaker 8 (27:29):
Oh? Look, we absolutely can. And it's good to have
goals and set challenges. I mean, who wouldn't want to
achieve eighty percent of New Zealanders having trust and confidence
in the police. It's something that we all strive for.
What we need to know is sort of the detail
behind that, and our members want to know how are
we going to get there? What's the details? That's what's
(27:51):
lacking at the moment.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Must be a bit frustrating for frontline, because it's actually
top brasses that's been doing more damage than they have.
Speaker 8 (28:00):
Important to note that our members are doing it pretty
tough out there at the moment. They're facing ridicule from
the public as a result of what's happened out of
the Mixican in case, and that's really tough on the membership.
So you know, a focus has to be on them
and building that trust, and focus on building the relationships
between the executive and the constaborary employees if we're going
(28:21):
to have any chance of heading these targets.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
What sort of ridicule are they getting.
Speaker 8 (28:28):
Oh, look, there's taunts out there from the public. There's
all sorts, really, but you know that is from a
limited few of the public. But our members are seeing it,
they are facing it. You know, we've got front facing front,
counter staff, one O five staff. I can Stabburary out
there on the beat. They're all suffering a bit of
(28:48):
taunting and a bit of a bit of jib as
a result of this.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
It sucks. There's always going to be a portion of
society who will never trust police no matter what you do.
Speaker 8 (28:56):
Right there is that consider and you know, not everyone's
happy with us and what we do. But ultimately it's
about getting out there, you know, getting into those crimes,
you know, stopping those burglaries. That's where we build the
trust and confidence and that's where the vast majority of
New Zealanders see policing, and that's where they build that
(29:19):
trust and confidence from seeing what our members are doing
out there every day.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Part of the problem I think for police has been
actually the justice system. So you guys have been holding
up your endo, the bargain and then they go through
the justice system and it's a wet bus ticket. Is
that something that frontline offices actually find annoying?
Speaker 8 (29:40):
Look, it is tough. We are seeing more people heading
to prison, more people heading to jail. We are seeing
some sentences that are that are appropriate and good, but
there's still some work to do there in the judicial system,
just to make sure that you know, the effort that
our members are putting in is reflecting sentences that are
(30:00):
being handed out.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Appreciate your time this morning, Steve Steve Watt, Police Association President,
On those new targets that Chambers is set. It is

News Talks dB siven A six on your Wednesday morning.
The UK government, you know how they keep releasing prisoners
over there and they shouldn't have released them. They're doing
it accidentally. Well, they have admitted now twelve prisoners accidentally
released just in the past three weeks. Two of them
they still haven't managed to find. This is on top
of the ninety one who were freed by a mistake
between April and October and England and Wales. There's no
(30:44):
one checking Ryan Bridge, not Mike is in the studio.
Make good morning, greetings Ryan. Someone says the price of
Kiwi fruit be cheaper to get a facelift. Did you
see the story this morning about the a study out
of the University of Otago. Because I know you're in
your beauty regiment. If you eat vitamin see high does
vitamin C, your skin will be far better off than
(31:06):
if you put creams on your face. It's got an.
Speaker 14 (31:08):
Extremely good skin for a person my age and having
been and no, no, no, don't look at it that way,
because I've been checked by experts, people in the makeup department.
When I was working in television. There was just a
constant commentary of how lovely my skin was.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
For a person my age, it wasn't just makeup art.
It's trying to play. Because I puffed you up before
you go on there.
Speaker 14 (31:28):
I thought that. Initially, I thought, hang on, this is
a stitch up here, this is how television works. But no,
apparently it is, and it's got to it's the green
because of course people don't like the green. They're like
the gold because it sugar is very, very sweet. But
the green is where the action is. And if you
have a couple of greens per day, you can do
no wrong.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
And do you put cream on at night? Of course
I do.
Speaker 14 (31:50):
Yeah, it's got written on in it absolutely.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Rettel's bloody expense. I found out yesterday from third that
it's two hundred and fifty dollars just for a little.
Speaker 14 (31:57):
It depends on what sort. It's like anything you can
but you can pay a lot or not as much.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
But I do a I do.
Speaker 14 (32:03):
It's a very interesting subject, right, I do a little
moisturizer in the morning, yeah, with a little something under
the eye day moisturi, A night one night cream which
is the night creams I've got two night creams, not
at the same time, but one's a detox night cream, right,
and one's a rejuvenating night cream. Also a little face
oil in that.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Case, So which one do you put on first? The
detox of the reduciation doesn't matter.
Speaker 14 (32:24):
Separate, separate, So there're two different products you put the
sets of circumstances.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
You put one on and then you wake up and
wash it off and put the other one on.
Speaker 14 (32:32):
Or well, no, you you put the night cream on,
then you were in the morning, you put the day
cream on.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
It's not hard, right.
Speaker 14 (32:37):
So then also, and this is where Katie and I
have this, this this tete a tete. I also put
a facial oil on and she goes, you shouldn't mix
the two together. Ah, and so I disagree.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Well, Katie is I'm in Katie's camp, fergs in your
camp because there's three oils he puts on and the
night cream. You know you can over oil you can.
And then look at the pillow. Oh no, it.
Speaker 14 (33:03):
Absorbs before you go there. And the next question is
what sort of pillow is it? Is it silk or
is it linen?
Speaker 2 (33:08):
It's linen.
Speaker 14 (33:09):
It's got to be linen. You can't beat linen, can you.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
You can't put silk on a bed and expect to
have it comfortable.
Speaker 14 (33:14):
Sometimes I have one idea on two pillows. I do
two pillows, one silk, one linen.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Oh well, we're very How many heads have you got?
Speaker 8 (33:21):
Very?
Speaker 14 (33:22):
No, one on top one very good for your skin
and hair. Silk as a fabric.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Actually, I've got My sister in law has a little
is it called a bonnet, you know, like a little
scarf that she and puts on her little girl's here
at night and wake up looking beautiful.
Speaker 14 (33:38):
And that's from the old days. You realized when we
used to set there here at night. Yeah, you set
your hair at night and put your bond on. You
wake up one ago in the night. You're very rarely
here this on Morning reporte.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
