The issues, the interviews and the insight. Ryan Bridge on
early edition with one roof make your Property Search Simple,
News Talks.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
It'd be.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Good morning and welcome to your Tuesday to six after five.
A short week for us this week coming up on
the program of warning from Pete headset to countries like ours,
really don't be fooled by China, he said at Shangri
La at the weekend, Donald Demo out of Australia for US,
a warning for them on their defense spending. We have
a new Rogue Cone tip line, a hot line cool.
(00:36):
We talk about that later in the show. Are Sports
with Andrew Olison this morning and Russia Ukraine? Will they
have talks in the Stanbul or will there be more
drones and more bombs. We'll look at that on your
Tuesday morning.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
The agenda third of June.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Zelenski says he expects more prisoners of war will be
exchanged with Russia after the second round of peace talks
in Turkey.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Talks in Istanbul just handed and I'm waiting for the
Minister of Mayor fool report. They exchanged documents through the
Torgish side and we are preparing an new release of
prisoners of the war.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
He says he's offered a two to three day cease
fire on certain parts of the frontline. Progresses is a
hard thing to achieve, isn't it. Eight people have been
injured in a suspected active terrorism after a man that
started setting people on fire in Colorado. Official say at
forty five year old shouted free Palestine when he attacked people.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
It is clear that this is a targeted act of
violence in the FBI is investigating this as an act
of terrorism.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Person who threw the molotov cocktail had two more in
his hand and he was holding them and he was yelling,
and he was screaming at everybody.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
German police have opened a new search for Madeline McCann
and Portugal this week. They search is expected to take
place in prior to lose this the town where she
went missing. It's been nearly twenty years.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
German police are said to have requested the search is
as prosecutors race against time to pen prime suspect Christian
Brookner down. He is due for release from prison in September,
when he would likely flee the country.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
And that is your agenda for Tuesday morning.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
The first word on the news of the Day Early
edition with Ryan Bridge and One Room to make Your
Property search simple, News Talk Sippy.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
So a couple of things I've spent my well part
of my week in watching from Afar. There was a
meeting of the Shangri Lan Dialogue, which is basically a
security summit for this region. And Pete Higseth was there
doing push ups and then speaking, and Judith Collins was there,
not doing push ups and then speaking. A whole bunch
(02:52):
of the Australian Defense Minister was there. It was quite
interesting to listen to. Anyway. One of the things Pete
Headseth talked about was one day and he did mention
twenty twenty seven, this is when Iran reckons China is
going to take Taiwan. He says it is going to
happen at some point. Don't be fooled by them. And
for those countries aren't read New Zealand who are cozying
(03:15):
up to China economically, just listen facing these threats.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
We know that many countries are tempted by the idea
of seeking both economic cooperation with China and defense cooperation
with the United States. Now that is a geographic necessity
for many, But but where are the leverage that the
CCP seeks with that entanglement. Economic dependence on China only
(03:42):
deepens their malign influence and complicates our defense decision space
during times of tension.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
So there you go. Basically, don't get big careful what
you wish for when you're coozing up to China, the
Defense Minister do to cons Willy on our program on
a Herald later on. Excuse me, we'll be on the
here All show later on. Does anyone else feel excited
this morning that there's a tip line for road cones?
Remember when they gave us a tip line for or
(04:09):
a hotline for cracks in the road or potholes? Did
that work anyway? I'll tell you all about that later
in the program. Andrew Orison, here was sport Next on.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with Ryan
Bridge and One Roof to make your property search simple.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
News Talk ZIB. You're on News Talk SB. It is
twelve minutes after five. Ukraine and Russia have their meeting
in Istanbul. They've agreed for more prisoner of prisoners of
water be exchanged to be swapp which is good news.
But at the same time you've got Ukraine bombing the
hell and joining the Hell drone bombing the hell out
of some pretty significant infrastructure for Russia. Olga if Shiner
(04:52):
is the BBC senior Russia reporter with us this morning. Oga, Hello,
welcome to the show.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
Hello, thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Good to have you back. How ma me, what's happening?
First with the prisoner exchange.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
Yeah, they agreed on a quite big prisoner swap. It's
actually it seems so far. First of all six thousand
bodies in exchange for six thousand dead bodies. Secondly, it's
exchange of your all young prisoners of war at the
age between eighteen and twenty five. And hopefully it's also
exchange of all severely wounded personnel. So possibly it's not.
(05:30):
Definitely it's not happening in the next few days. So
they agreed to continue to talk about this, to establish
medical commissions, negotiating groups to agree on exact lists of people.
So possibly it will happen in a few stages, as
we have seen in the previous round of exchanges. But yeah,
(05:51):
there is at least something going on, but unfortunately it's
not bringing us any closer to the end of hostilities,
any closer to the end of this war.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
No, let's talk about that. The Western media is reporting
that a sizable portion of the fleet that Moscow would
used to launch guided missile attacks on Ukraine but also
attacks potentially nuclear attacks on other countries, that they were
damaged or destroyed by these Ukrainian attacks over the weekend.
(06:20):
Is that true? How significant is this for Russia?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (06:25):
Well, definitely, the loss even of one strategic bomber is
very significant because at the moment Russia is not able
to replicate it quickly, So even one plane, loss of
one plane is very significant. So Ukraine claims it targeted
I think six air bases. The footage. Air footage confirms
definitely that at least two air bases were heat possibly
(06:49):
up to forty different planes. Russian mold has confirmed that
several planes were het Ukraine says around forty. So you know,
from the verified footage we can see at least a
few points defendly more than five. But as I said,
even thought of one train is important. But I think
it's also important to underline it's not just Ukraine's striking Russia.
You know, Russia has launched a tremendous amount of of
(07:13):
at a rocket and also drawne attacks on Ukraine in
the recent days and weeks. So it's not just one
side it both sides have increased the number of strikes
on each other's territory.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Does Yeah, you're absolutely right, But does this does a
strike like this put Persian in some kind of corner?
Does it make him lash out?
Speaker 7 (07:35):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (07:35):
It's a good question. But to answer that, actually need
to answer the question whether Russians, especially outside of Moscow
know about this stripe, because of course State TV is
not not talking about it in a great detail. Of course,
mold Russian mood is downplaying the scale of losses. And
also we see that, you know, apart from some big cities,
(07:57):
the population tries to shield off the news about the
invasion because they are very tired and they try to
perceive their own lives. So do people know about that?
You know, that's that's a big, big question. And Putting
doesn't care that much about his image in the West.
He's pretty happy with the with the imager he has
already produced, and internally, you know, not that many people
(08:19):
possibly have noticed it at the you know, because it's
more than three years of invasion now, right, But I
think what is important is that. Yeah. Of course internationally
Putting does look not as bright as as strong as
he would like to be. Of course it's a hit
for Russian security service, especially domestic security service face face
(08:40):
bat from which mister Putting sort of tracks, you know,
where he used to serve many years ago. So yeah,
it's a definitely big hit for his ego, but not
for the morale of the Russian population on the on
the whole.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Interesting. Always good to speak with you, Thank you very much.
If Shina the BABC saying Russia reporter with us this morning,
just gone seventeen after five year on news Talk, said
b when we come back, I'll tell you about the
Tonguedo shot or who ever stayed there. I've never had
the chance to stay there. But people love it, people
rave about it. It's in quite the state of disrepair.
(09:15):
Front page of the Herald today is about the fact
it might disappear. We'll get to that and to Andrew
Ordison next with Sport News.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
And Views you Trust to start your day. It's early
edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof Make your Property
Search Simple, News Talk SEV Go.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
The big old chateau at tongued Edo. It looks quite
like it belongs in the French Alps, well this Swiss Alps.
But it's it's beautiful to look at, but no one
ever stays there because it's run down and it's a
bit of a dump on the inside for rats and things.
But the government is now on the table is the
option to just take a wrecking ball to this thing.
(09:53):
And obviously the local mayor is not happy Western cursion.
He suggests serious buyers are looking at the hotel, but
does any one care? I mean, would you if that
was disappeared, and if you woke up this morning and
you drove past Tongue d Our National Park and the
chateau wasn't there, how would you feel? Nineteen nineteen the
number to text. I don't think I'd miss it. I mean,
(10:14):
if it's going to depending on how much it costs,
if private money comes in and jazz is it up
and fixes it up and people stay there. I just
don't know that that's going to happen. It's going to
cost us something, isn't it. Nineteen nineteen The number to
text it is twenty after five And we'll go to
Sport now. Andrew Willison's here, Andrew good morning morning, Ron.
Speaker 7 (10:34):
I love the chateau, many happy memories there, but you're right,
I mean you got it's going to need some private
money or just at the earthquake risk is it in
those things.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Big and expensive things to run and maintain.
Speaker 7 (10:46):
Great to see something there just at the base of
the mountain and it's just such a brilliant gateway.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
But maybe a camping ground or something. Hey, what's that
some sort of lodge at the tennis this morning?
Speaker 7 (10:58):
Look exciting news for Louis Boisson of France and for
the local community there in Paris watching she has advanced.
She's a huge upset over Jessica Bagula, the third seed,
so going into the tournament bossan ranked three hundred and
sixty one and has really given them something to shout about.
Court Philippe Chatrier, of course previously on probably most famous
(11:21):
or infamous as the woman that Harriet Dart suggested should
be wearing deodorant at a tournament leading in there's a
bit of a personal insult to her, but she turned around.
She had the last laugh here of Boisson going into
the quarterfinals because his smell.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
That was the influence.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
I think she I think the quote on the microphone
was she smells really bad there you go, okay, but
you know, interesting tittle tattle in the in the in
the tennis world there, but has has drunken her success.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
And they're quite big at tennis courts aren't small places.
I mean, presumably there's a bit of a there and
I don't know that.
Speaker 7 (11:57):
Maybe it's like some close close action the net on
my sholder, maybe switching over between sets.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
They could go opposite sides.
Speaker 7 (12:06):
I mean, yeah, yeah, there's there's a way around it.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Harriet, Yeah, mind games, mind games. He the Warriors, specifically
Mitch Sparnett's ACL injury. What's that happening? Impacts that happened
pretty massive.
Speaker 7 (12:17):
Devastating for them. I would have thought that given the
impact he's had the leadership piece provided over the course
of the season so far with James Fisher Harris. But
he's out for the season and he's also out for
the next couple of Origin matches as well. So yeah, ACL,
I mean it's going to take months to repair. It's
out for this season, probably back for the starting X
by the sounds of things. So he's had a rupture
(12:39):
there with the right one. So yeah, it's gutting for
him and gutting for the season, but still third after
the latest round to the Warriors. With that victory of
the rabbit Os, it's still just two points shy of
the Bulldogs on the n L letter Great spats.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Speaking of spats and tennis, this is one in the
India Cars too.
Speaker 7 (12:58):
Yeah, that's right, Scott Ogle Lackland nudging the back of
Nolan Siegel and IndyCar action ands caused quite a few
ructions there and of course McLaren head, the Prince Team
principal Tony Canaan. I mean, it's an IndyCar winner also
Indy five hundred winner over the year. So Sydney packs
and clout to taking it to McLoughlin over social media,
(13:22):
and we know where these things on social media can
get your on.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
It's all sorts of trouble issues of a big hole.
So yeah, just hitting his tie.
Speaker 7 (13:30):
I mean McLoughlin's complained that that seagull breaked earlier than
he expected and he couldn't control it. But you know,
any any sort of road rule would suggest if you're
behind and you're being into someone, you're going to be
you're gonna be coppying.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
It, all right, So plenty happening there through the morning.
We look forward to hearing more about it. And I've
wafted off into the distance here. Thank you. I've never
had a problem with your smell. Please, thank you, Andrew
Willison the sport for us this morning.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Man.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Lots of people want to keep the shat. This is
the tongue at Edo Chateau. Ryan, I've always voted National
over my seventy nine years. Good morning, normal, Nice to
have you listening. I'd always voted National over my seventy
nine years. But letting the Chateau be demolished would be
just another reason I won't at the next election Norman
(14:20):
voting with his feet, Ryan, that would be disgraceful, Kit,
says Kirsten if the shadow disappeared. It is an incredible,
incredible building which needs to be restored. Keep it mate,
Oh my god, Ryan, the Chateau is possibly the most
iconic building in news. Really, I don't know if it's
the most iconic building in New Zealand. It would be
a national shame if it was demolished. Plenty more where
(14:42):
this came from. I'll get to the story in a
second twenty four after five see early.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Edition full show podcast on Ihart Radio, Power by News TALKSB.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
News Talks ITB. It is twenty six minutes after five o'clock.
Do you know what's really starting to rub me the
wrong way? And we'll come to the chateau in a second.
And it's not that it's governments telling us to do
more things. This morning, we've got the government coming out
with yet another hotline, a tip line. It sounds fancy,
sounds it almost sounds efficient, doesn't it. It's a hotline
(15:13):
to report road cones, a road cone tip line. Sorry,
but if the problem is that there are too many
road cones on the road and there are necessary for
the work that's being carried out, which half of them
appear to be, then why do you need us to
tell you that? This is the annoying part. Surely, if
we just had better, clearer rules and less bs, we
(15:37):
wouldn't need a road cone tip line, a pothole tip line,
a one oh five tip line, a beneficiary tip line.
But when someone's breaking the beneficiary rules, either you know
what you're doing, you've got smart people working for you,
you've got smart systems, or you don't. And every time
I hear of another tip line. I realize they have
no idea. Tip lines are the equivalent of of a
(16:01):
safety calming measure in the traffic those weird speed bumps
or narrowing roads designed to make people feel better when
they're driving around. All they really do is piss people
off and reveal how rubbish the road designed was to
begin with. Plus, just think about this. Really, there's a
bunch of road cones in a dumb place on a
(16:21):
busy road. We've all seen it work safe NZTA Council.
They all drive past this busy spot every day. Then
you've got Barbara and a little Honda Civic. She drives
past it. She calls it, and I'll call the tip line.
Barrye he's in his truck and trailer. He calls it,
and I'll call the tip line. You're a good citizen, Barry.
And then Sally, of course, pigs the kids up from
(16:41):
score at three pm every day. She calls them the
tip line. They all ring the tip line, they all
report the same thing. It will then be somebody's job
to sort through the tips. Of course, you know Barrie's,
We've got Barbara's, We've got Sally's. What streets Dad or
she called from the sandle. Somebody else has to triarge
the tip line and the tips. Remember, so there's two jobs.
(17:03):
There are two people employed in this already. Okay, you
see where I'm going with this. In three weeks, Barry,
Sally and Barb might get a letter in the mail
because the post only runs two days a week. Now,
remember the letter says we're looking into this issue for you. Meanwhile,
one hundred government or council people have walked or driven
past the road cone Armageddon and nothing has changed. This
(17:26):
is the problem with tip lines, This is the problem
with governments. This is the problem with people who work
for them, and we shouldn't be one of them.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Ryan Bridge.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
After five News Talk CB. We'll get to our reporters
around the country next.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Okay, Ryan Bridge on early edition with one roof Make
your Property Search Simple, Youth Talk ZIBB.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Good morning, it is Tuesday morning, twenty four minutes away
from sixth Great to have your company. We're going to
talk to our Australia correspondent, Donna Demayo about the Aussies
and their defense spending. The Americans on them to pay more.
They're already up in their their spending. So does that
mean we need to pay more to Also, just before six,
we're going to speak about this workplace safety culture change,
(18:24):
because apparently they're just way too worried about safety, to
the point where if you know, you walk out of
your house and there are you're stuck in road cones.
You can't even leave your front door anymore. That's how
bad it is. Anyway, we'll talk at about that four
six o'clock. The chateau has got people really fired up
this morning. Bryan, name a more iconic building in New Zealand.
(18:46):
I mean, what about I don't know, the old government
building in Wellington, what about the Treaty House? What about
Auckland Town Hall? The thing about New Zealand that makes
it There are so many texts on this, I can't
even tell you, Ryan, it will be a very sad day.
My husband and I attended an annual New Year's Eve
ball there. Also, the first New Zealand Argentine Tango Festival
(19:08):
was held there in two thousand and two, both fabulous events,
says Suzan. It needs to be saved. This is from
Linda Ryan. The chateau could be downsized, demolish the various extensions,
restore the original building. There is nothing else in New
Zealand that compares to the sumptuous Natahoey Lounge, which I'm
(19:30):
assuming is somewhere inside the main building New Zealand. Do
you know what the problem is? It's falling apart. It's
an absolute mess. In fact, to quote the Herald today,
severe state of disrepair. Unless you get lots of private
money coming in to fix it, a taxpayer will be
on the hook. And do you know what New Zealand
is famous for? Do you know what people come here
(19:52):
to enjoy? What's behind the Chateau tong Rara National Park?
Absolutely beautiful, nothing like and the rest of the world
you can get plenty of shadows in Europe. We don't
need one here. I mean, if it's going to cost
us something to build, I say, put a bomb under it.
Ryan Bridge, twenty two away from Sex News talks there.
(20:13):
B Cullum Broc is our first up reporters today Dunedin
and there's been a flood assessment done on some properties
Clem Yeah, this is.
Speaker 8 (20:20):
Middle March near Daneedan Ryan and residence there are invited
to discuss the results of that flood has an assessment
at a meeting today. In fact, they urged to attend
this event hosted by the Ottaga Original Council, where they
will present their latest findings. They recently undertook analysis of
flood hazard risks in the area, which is being done
in phases. Phase one was completed last year looking at
(20:42):
the conveyance of March Creek. Phase two has been an
investigation and modeling into water flow of the entire township
of Middle March and potential mitigation options will be looked
at today as part of phase three.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
All right, house, did end's weather?
Speaker 8 (20:57):
I'll find at first becoming cloudy like Wedns and six today?
Speaker 3 (21:00):
All right, you've got some frustration clear in christ Church.
Oh the prospect of a new high school? What's wrong
with that? Yeah?
Speaker 9 (21:07):
Well, actually maybe not a new high school, Ryan. So
the Ministry of Education has been slammed as shortsighted by
one of our city councilors here for a lack of
interest in building a high school for Harswell. The growing
suburb received some funding for a new primary school just
last week. That's after some land on Milns Road was
purchased by the government twenty years ago. Since then, the
(21:29):
population has doubled from twelve thousand to about twenty four thousand.
The local councilor Andre Moore says the ministry needs to
at least buy some land for a high school before
that growth gets too much. He reckons at the moment
the ministry's banking on snobbery continuing and people basically overlooking
the local low decile school at Hilmorton for city city schools.
(21:51):
He says that if all local families did start to
send their children to Hillmorton next year, there would be
a significant problem.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Interesting that your weather a bit frosty.
Speaker 9 (22:02):
To start, a cloudy from this afternoon, light winds and
a high of fifteen.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Mex is in Wellington, haymex Good morning, Good morning. There's
been a miracle rescue at o Techy Beach.
Speaker 10 (22:12):
Yes not hyperbole, a very lucky rescue of a pensioner
at au Tachy over the weekend. Seventy four year old
John Schofield doing a bit of fly fishing. He had
plans to visit his sister afterwards for a coffee in
the morning, took perhaps a step or two too far
further than he should have into the water, got knocked
over by a stronger wave and then wave after wave
kept hitting him, kept him underwater. A woman saw this
(22:34):
on the beach, screened at another man who was kite
surfing to help. Rushed over to John, who was by
this point face down in the water, back of his
head showing virtually motionless.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Rushed to hospital.
Speaker 10 (22:45):
I see you, but he's already back home a little
worse for where perhaps he is going to meet with
his two saviors. The way he describes the moment is
quite poetic in a way. One moment he was face
down in the water. The next it was suddenly bright
and it was daytime. You can read this a wonderful story.
Good right up by Raphael Frank's on the Herald website.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Well like he was saved when you for a moment
when you said pensioner and in the water, that's my
grandmother's there. Well Sanders, she's not a man though, so
I think she's like But the sand it's quite lumpy,
the under the underfoot there, so you will often get
taken by surprise and then taken out to sea. So
that's great that he was rescued.
Speaker 10 (23:25):
Absolutely. How's the weather a little bit of cloud otherwise
fine today fifteen the Hey Central brilliant.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Thanks Max Nevas in Auckland, hay Eva, Happy Tuesday, Happy
Tuesday week.
Speaker 11 (23:37):
Sorry short week.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Oh yes you said, shite week just started. Hey. Certainty
over the safety of partially reopening the War Memorial Museum.
Speaker 12 (23:48):
Yes, now this is after the discovery of asbestos. So
today we know that two thirds of the building will
be accessible to the public. This is after three weeks
of full closure, so that is happening today now. It
meant nearly half a million dollar loss of revenue over
the three weeks. Chief executive David Reeves says, Look, they've
been conducting air monitoring tests for most of the year
(24:10):
so far. He says, every single one of those tests
has been at a low level, so they're very very
confident that it's safe to open today.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
So two thirds of excellent. Yeah. How's the weather for
the open.
Speaker 12 (24:22):
Well, cloudy, period's a chance of a morning shower though
seventeen is the high.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Great Nava. We will look forward to hearing him the news.
Thank you very much. It is eighteen minutes away from six.
Y're on news Talk, said b Coming up next, we
have our Australia correspondent, the Aussies, sorry, the Yanks. Are
asking the Aussies for more defense spending, and of course
we're talking about workplace safety. The Minister Brook van Valden's
come out and said, not only do we have a
(24:47):
tip line, and for those who were wondering what the
number is, it's actually it's an online thing. You can
go on and report online as opposed to actually calling.
But work Safe is apparently shifting its rebalancing to a
less annoying organization. We'll talk about that before six to two.
Good news this morning for Melford. They have just taken
(25:09):
out the Consumer New Zealand People's Choice Award Keiwi Saver
for their Milford Kewi Saber plan. This makes it eight
years in a row. Not bad.
Speaker 13 (25:18):
Hey.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Now there's also morning Star's latest independent survey found at
Morningstar dot com dot au showing Milford has had the
number one performing Kiwisaver funds in the growth, balanced and
conservative categories for returns over the past ten years. All
of this is down to Milford's expert team their active
approach to investing. So why wouldn't you make the switch

Speaker 3 (26:22):
Our Australia correspondent is done tomorrow. This morning, just gone
thirteen minutes away from top of the r and on
a good morning, Good morning to you. Good to have
you on the show as always. Now the Prime Minister
brushing off a US posh to spend more on defense.
How much do they want?
Speaker 5 (26:37):
Oh?
Speaker 14 (26:38):
Well, the United States has very very strongly suggested that
Australia lift its defense spending to almost one hundred billion
dollars a year as soon as possible. They're saying, because
Australia must do more to support the US in the
Indo Pacific, as it's been put. Now we know that
the US Defense Secretary Pete haiks Eth conveyed this message
(26:59):
to the defense.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
They were on.
Speaker 14 (27:02):
It was a chat on the sidelines of a recent
conference or gathering, let's say in Singapore, and you know
they did talk about perhaps the increasing US tension with China.
And so now we've heard that they think that we
should lift Australia should lift its defense spending. Now it
currently sits at about two percent of GDP, and the
(27:23):
US says, oh no, it should lift to about three
point five percent of the GDP, adding about forty billion dollars.
Now we've heard from the PM and he says the
country will not be dictated to on defense spending. And
they already had planned to increase the defense spending from
about two to two point three three percent of Australia's
GDP over the next eight years. And so the PMS
(27:47):
actually said, what you should do in defense is decide
what you need your capability and then provide for it.
That's what my government is doing.
Speaker 15 (27:55):
So pretty much brushing off what the US is suggesting
Australia should do, okay, and what.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
About there's a warning for Ozzy's heading to Indonesia.
Speaker 15 (28:04):
Yes, well, hundreds of thousands of Ozzi's love going to
Indonesia and particularly Bali. But there's an update from the
Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade Smart Traveler website urging
travelers to exercise a high degree of caution when they
holiday in this popular destination. As we know, and so
we know that there's been some incidents lately. Australians have
(28:25):
drowned unpatrolled beaches due to rough seas and strong rib currents.
But there's also been a caution against leaving food and
drinks unattended due to a risk in getting a drink
spiked and methanol poisoning. And there's been several cases reported
in Bali and nearby Lombok of late.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
So just be careful out there, tourists, all right. Probably
a good warning for us too, if you guys are
telling you a lot that, Hey, thank you very much,
Donald Tomorrow, our Australia correspondent, Nice to have you on.
The show is always eleven minutes away from six Bridge.
The government's shaking up Work Safe. They want to essentially
shift its focus from being an ambulance at the bottom
of the hell to engaging and supporting businesses to manage
(29:06):
risk and remember the road Cone hotline while that's being
hotly and officially launched today. Dave Tilton is the Parallax
CEO Traffic Control Training. Dave, good morning to you, wedding.
Does this sound all like a bit of nothing to you?
What are you making of this announcement?
Speaker 11 (29:24):
I think there's there's pockets of good signals here. I
think I certainly support the collaborative intent, very much agree
with the connection there between Work Safe and councils and EDGTA.
When it comes to rolling out the risk based approach
to TTM, I think that's definitely a direction we need
to go in. But there's also probably some incompatible components,
(29:44):
particularly with the road Cone hotline itself.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
What's that? What's the problem with the hot line?
Speaker 11 (29:51):
I think I suppose we need a list in the
capability across the industry with respect to TTM, and a
hotline really risks increasing the divide I think between public
behavior and how contractors respond to that. My concern really
is that the engaging the public to report that all
those perceived errants road cones if you like, kind of
creates a culture of disrespect for roadworks. So public sentiment
(30:14):
respect it's really crucial for how effective these worksites are, right,
So if that eroads, then the risk is that more
TT measures are needed to try and engineer the safe
environment to get the work done. That I suppose my concern.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
What do you think the percentage approval rating of your
average road come would be? Right now?
Speaker 11 (30:33):
I've actually asked this question in a bunch of workshops,
and it's somewhat hard to remember that the TATAM sectors
lived with a very prescriptive standard for the last couple
of decades. So it's that's primarily what people make decisions
about or using that to make decisions and how they
construct their work zones at the moment. So there is
a degree of waste, absolutely, It's just it takes a
bit of time for that culture shift to show up.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
David, can you just tell me why when you go
on to a very quiet could of sax Stream, if
somebody is fixing a drain or doing a tiny bit
of work, that you could just put a couple of
road cones around and people can use their own assessments
they need traffic management. They need lights and they need people.
It just seems absurd.
Speaker 13 (31:17):
Sorry.
Speaker 11 (31:18):
It comes back to how people make decisions about how
many measures they need, and if it's based on this
prescriptive standard, it's not this kind of one size fits all,
then you end up with a mismatch, certainly in the
environments where the risk might be lower. What we really
want is people to do a really deliberate and considered
site specific risk assessments for that environment. And that's not
really been the situation or the structure of the system historically.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
Okay, all right, I really appreciate your times wanting Dave
do thank you very much. That is Dave Tilton. He's
the Parallax CEO of Traffic Control Training Organization. Eight minutes
away from six, You're on News Talk ZB right next
the news.
Speaker 1 (31:55):

Speaker 3 (32:41):
One side again. One side is my fault, yes, the
other side. It was actually a reaction to this fault,
because I mean, oh shit, shooted you know? So that's
it's the printer's fault. It's printed one word per piece
of paper.
Speaker 13 (32:57):
How come you keep spilling stuff?
Speaker 3 (32:59):
It's happened twice. I've been here a year.
Speaker 5 (33:01):
Is that?
Speaker 16 (33:01):
How many times have I spilt something in the last year?

hundred and ninety nine.
Speaker 13 (33:56):

Speaker 2 (00:11):
It'd be.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Good morning and welcome to your Tuesday to six after five.
A short week for us this week coming up on
the program of warning from Pete headset to countries like ours,
really don't be fooled by China, he said at Shangri
La at the weekend, Donald Demo out of Australia for US,
a warning for them on their defense spending. We have
a new Rogue Cone tip line, a hot line cool.
(00:36):
We talk about that later in the show. Are Sports
with Andrew Olison this morning and Russia Ukraine? Will they
have talks in the Stanbul or will there be more
drones and more bombs. We'll look at that on your
Tuesday morning.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
The agenda third of June.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Zelenski says he expects more prisoners of war will be
exchanged with Russia after the second round of peace talks
in Turkey.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Talks in Istanbul just handed and I'm waiting for the
Minister of Mayor fool report. They exchanged documents through the
Torgish side and we are preparing an new release of
prisoners of the war.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
He says he's offered a two to three day cease
fire on certain parts of the frontline. Progresses is a
hard thing to achieve, isn't it. Eight people have been
injured in a suspected active terrorism after a man that
started setting people on fire in Colorado. Official say at
forty five year old shouted free Palestine when he attacked people.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
It is clear that this is a targeted act of
violence in the FBI is investigating this as an act
of terrorism.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Person who threw the molotov cocktail had two more in
his hand and he was holding them and he was yelling,
and he was screaming at everybody.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
German police have opened a new search for Madeline McCann
and Portugal this week. They search is expected to take
place in prior to lose this the town where she
went missing. It's been nearly twenty years.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
German police are said to have requested the search is
as prosecutors race against time to pen prime suspect Christian
Brookner down. He is due for release from prison in September,
when he would likely flee the country.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
And that is your agenda for Tuesday morning.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
The first word on the news of the Day Early
edition with Ryan Bridge and One Room to make Your
Property search simple, News Talk Sippy.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
So a couple of things I've spent my well part
of my week in watching from Afar. There was a
meeting of the Shangri Lan Dialogue, which is basically a
security summit for this region. And Pete Higseth was there
doing push ups and then speaking, and Judith Collins was there,
not doing push ups and then speaking. A whole bunch
(02:52):
of the Australian Defense Minister was there. It was quite
interesting to listen to. Anyway. One of the things Pete
Headseth talked about was one day and he did mention
twenty twenty seven, this is when Iran reckons China is
going to take Taiwan. He says it is going to
happen at some point. Don't be fooled by them. And
for those countries aren't read New Zealand who are cozying
(03:15):
up to China economically, just listen facing these threats.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
We know that many countries are tempted by the idea
of seeking both economic cooperation with China and defense cooperation
with the United States. Now that is a geographic necessity
for many, But but where are the leverage that the
CCP seeks with that entanglement. Economic dependence on China only
(03:42):
deepens their malign influence and complicates our defense decision space
during times of tension.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
So there you go. Basically, don't get big careful what
you wish for when you're coozing up to China, the
Defense Minister do to cons Willy on our program on
a Herald later on. Excuse me, we'll be on the
here All show later on. Does anyone else feel excited
this morning that there's a tip line for road cones?
Remember when they gave us a tip line for or
(04:09):
a hotline for cracks in the road or potholes? Did
that work anyway? I'll tell you all about that later
in the program. Andrew Orison, here was sport Next on.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with Ryan
Bridge and One Roof to make your property search simple.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
News Talk ZIB. You're on News Talk SB. It is
twelve minutes after five. Ukraine and Russia have their meeting
in Istanbul. They've agreed for more prisoner of prisoners of
water be exchanged to be swapp which is good news.
But at the same time you've got Ukraine bombing the
hell and joining the Hell drone bombing the hell out
of some pretty significant infrastructure for Russia. Olga if Shiner
(04:52):
is the BBC senior Russia reporter with us this morning. Oga, Hello,
welcome to the show.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
Hello, thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Good to have you back. How ma me, what's happening?
First with the prisoner exchange.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
Yeah, they agreed on a quite big prisoner swap. It's
actually it seems so far. First of all six thousand
bodies in exchange for six thousand dead bodies. Secondly, it's
exchange of your all young prisoners of war at the
age between eighteen and twenty five. And hopefully it's also
exchange of all severely wounded personnel. So possibly it's not.
(05:30):
Definitely it's not happening in the next few days. So
they agreed to continue to talk about this, to establish
medical commissions, negotiating groups to agree on exact lists of people.
So possibly it will happen in a few stages, as
we have seen in the previous round of exchanges. But yeah,
(05:51):
there is at least something going on, but unfortunately it's
not bringing us any closer to the end of hostilities,
any closer to the end of this war.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
No, let's talk about that. The Western media is reporting
that a sizable portion of the fleet that Moscow would
used to launch guided missile attacks on Ukraine but also
attacks potentially nuclear attacks on other countries, that they were
damaged or destroyed by these Ukrainian attacks over the weekend.
(06:20):
Is that true? How significant is this for Russia?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (06:25):
Well, definitely, the loss even of one strategic bomber is
very significant because at the moment Russia is not able
to replicate it quickly, So even one plane, loss of
one plane is very significant. So Ukraine claims it targeted
I think six air bases. The footage. Air footage confirms
definitely that at least two air bases were heat possibly
(06:49):
up to forty different planes. Russian mold has confirmed that
several planes were het Ukraine says around forty. So you know,
from the verified footage we can see at least a
few points defendly more than five. But as I said,
even thought of one train is important. But I think
it's also important to underline it's not just Ukraine's striking Russia.
You know, Russia has launched a tremendous amount of of
(07:13):
at a rocket and also drawne attacks on Ukraine in
the recent days and weeks. So it's not just one
side it both sides have increased the number of strikes
on each other's territory.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Does Yeah, you're absolutely right, But does this does a
strike like this put Persian in some kind of corner?
Does it make him lash out?
Speaker 7 (07:35):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (07:35):
It's a good question. But to answer that, actually need
to answer the question whether Russians, especially outside of Moscow
know about this stripe, because of course State TV is
not not talking about it in a great detail. Of course,
mold Russian mood is downplaying the scale of losses. And
also we see that, you know, apart from some big cities,
(07:57):
the population tries to shield off the news about the
invasion because they are very tired and they try to
perceive their own lives. So do people know about that?
You know, that's that's a big, big question. And Putting
doesn't care that much about his image in the West.
He's pretty happy with the with the imager he has
already produced, and internally, you know, not that many people
(08:19):
possibly have noticed it at the you know, because it's
more than three years of invasion now, right, But I
think what is important is that. Yeah. Of course internationally
Putting does look not as bright as as strong as
he would like to be. Of course it's a hit
for Russian security service, especially domestic security service face face
(08:40):
bat from which mister Putting sort of tracks, you know,
where he used to serve many years ago. So yeah,
it's a definitely big hit for his ego, but not
for the morale of the Russian population on the on
the whole.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Interesting. Always good to speak with you, Thank you very much.
If Shina the BABC saying Russia reporter with us this morning,
just gone seventeen after five year on news Talk, said
b when we come back, I'll tell you about the
Tonguedo shot or who ever stayed there. I've never had
the chance to stay there. But people love it, people
rave about it. It's in quite the state of disrepair.
(09:15):
Front page of the Herald today is about the fact
it might disappear. We'll get to that and to Andrew
Ordison next with Sport News.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
And Views you Trust to start your day. It's early
edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof Make your Property
Search Simple, News Talk SEV Go.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
The big old chateau at tongued Edo. It looks quite
like it belongs in the French Alps, well this Swiss Alps.
But it's it's beautiful to look at, but no one
ever stays there because it's run down and it's a
bit of a dump on the inside for rats and things.
But the government is now on the table is the
option to just take a wrecking ball to this thing.
(09:53):
And obviously the local mayor is not happy Western cursion.
He suggests serious buyers are looking at the hotel, but
does any one care? I mean, would you if that
was disappeared, and if you woke up this morning and
you drove past Tongue d Our National Park and the
chateau wasn't there, how would you feel? Nineteen nineteen the
number to text. I don't think I'd miss it. I mean,
(10:14):
if it's going to depending on how much it costs,
if private money comes in and jazz is it up
and fixes it up and people stay there. I just
don't know that that's going to happen. It's going to
cost us something, isn't it. Nineteen nineteen The number to
text it is twenty after five And we'll go to
Sport now. Andrew Willison's here, Andrew good morning morning, Ron.
Speaker 7 (10:34):
I love the chateau, many happy memories there, but you're right,
I mean you got it's going to need some private
money or just at the earthquake risk is it in
those things.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Big and expensive things to run and maintain.
Speaker 7 (10:46):
Great to see something there just at the base of
the mountain and it's just such a brilliant gateway.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
But maybe a camping ground or something. Hey, what's that
some sort of lodge at the tennis this morning?
Speaker 7 (10:58):
Look exciting news for Louis Boisson of France and for
the local community there in Paris watching she has advanced.
She's a huge upset over Jessica Bagula, the third seed,
so going into the tournament bossan ranked three hundred and
sixty one and has really given them something to shout about.
Court Philippe Chatrier, of course previously on probably most famous
(11:21):
or infamous as the woman that Harriet Dart suggested should
be wearing deodorant at a tournament leading in there's a
bit of a personal insult to her, but she turned around.
She had the last laugh here of Boisson going into
the quarterfinals because his smell.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
That was the influence.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
I think she I think the quote on the microphone
was she smells really bad there you go, okay, but
you know, interesting tittle tattle in the in the in
the tennis world there, but has has drunken her success.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
And they're quite big at tennis courts aren't small places.
I mean, presumably there's a bit of a there and
I don't know that.
Speaker 7 (11:57):
Maybe it's like some close close action the net on
my sholder, maybe switching over between sets.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
They could go opposite sides.
Speaker 7 (12:06):
I mean, yeah, yeah, there's there's a way around it.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Harriet, Yeah, mind games, mind games. He the Warriors, specifically
Mitch Sparnett's ACL injury. What's that happening? Impacts that happened
pretty massive.
Speaker 7 (12:17):
Devastating for them. I would have thought that given the
impact he's had the leadership piece provided over the course
of the season so far with James Fisher Harris. But
he's out for the season and he's also out for
the next couple of Origin matches as well. So yeah, ACL,
I mean it's going to take months to repair. It's
out for this season, probably back for the starting X
by the sounds of things. So he's had a rupture
(12:39):
there with the right one. So yeah, it's gutting for
him and gutting for the season, but still third after
the latest round to the Warriors. With that victory of
the rabbit Os, it's still just two points shy of
the Bulldogs on the n L letter Great spats.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Speaking of spats and tennis, this is one in the
India Cars too.
Speaker 7 (12:58):
Yeah, that's right, Scott Ogle Lackland nudging the back of
Nolan Siegel and IndyCar action ands caused quite a few
ructions there and of course McLaren head, the Prince Team
principal Tony Canaan. I mean, it's an IndyCar winner also
Indy five hundred winner over the year. So Sydney packs
and clout to taking it to McLoughlin over social media,
(13:22):
and we know where these things on social media can
get your on.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
It's all sorts of trouble issues of a big hole.
So yeah, just hitting his tie.
Speaker 7 (13:30):
I mean McLoughlin's complained that that seagull breaked earlier than
he expected and he couldn't control it. But you know,
any any sort of road rule would suggest if you're
behind and you're being into someone, you're going to be
you're gonna be coppying.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
It, all right, So plenty happening there through the morning.
We look forward to hearing more about it. And I've
wafted off into the distance here. Thank you. I've never
had a problem with your smell. Please, thank you, Andrew
Willison the sport for us this morning.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Man.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Lots of people want to keep the shat. This is
the tongue at Edo Chateau. Ryan, I've always voted National
over my seventy nine years. Good morning, normal, Nice to
have you listening. I'd always voted National over my seventy
nine years. But letting the Chateau be demolished would be
just another reason I won't at the next election Norman
(14:20):
voting with his feet, Ryan, that would be disgraceful, Kit,
says Kirsten if the shadow disappeared. It is an incredible,
incredible building which needs to be restored. Keep it mate,
Oh my god, Ryan, the Chateau is possibly the most
iconic building in news. Really, I don't know if it's
the most iconic building in New Zealand. It would be
a national shame if it was demolished. Plenty more where
(14:42):
this came from. I'll get to the story in a
second twenty four after five see early.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Edition full show podcast on Ihart Radio, Power by News TALKSB.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
News Talks ITB. It is twenty six minutes after five o'clock.
Do you know what's really starting to rub me the
wrong way? And we'll come to the chateau in a second.
And it's not that it's governments telling us to do
more things. This morning, we've got the government coming out
with yet another hotline, a tip line. It sounds fancy,
sounds it almost sounds efficient, doesn't it. It's a hotline
(15:13):
to report road cones, a road cone tip line. Sorry,
but if the problem is that there are too many
road cones on the road and there are necessary for
the work that's being carried out, which half of them
appear to be, then why do you need us to
tell you that? This is the annoying part. Surely, if
we just had better, clearer rules and less bs, we
(15:37):
wouldn't need a road cone tip line, a pothole tip line,
a one oh five tip line, a beneficiary tip line.
But when someone's breaking the beneficiary rules, either you know
what you're doing, you've got smart people working for you,
you've got smart systems, or you don't. And every time
I hear of another tip line. I realize they have
no idea. Tip lines are the equivalent of of a
(16:01):
safety calming measure in the traffic those weird speed bumps
or narrowing roads designed to make people feel better when
they're driving around. All they really do is piss people
off and reveal how rubbish the road designed was to
begin with. Plus, just think about this. Really, there's a
bunch of road cones in a dumb place on a
(16:21):
busy road. We've all seen it work safe NZTA Council.
They all drive past this busy spot every day. Then
you've got Barbara and a little Honda Civic. She drives
past it. She calls it, and I'll call the tip line.
Barrye he's in his truck and trailer. He calls it,
and I'll call the tip line. You're a good citizen, Barry.
And then Sally, of course, pigs the kids up from
(16:41):
score at three pm every day. She calls them the
tip line. They all ring the tip line, they all
report the same thing. It will then be somebody's job
to sort through the tips. Of course, you know Barrie's,
We've got Barbara's, We've got Sally's. What streets Dad or
she called from the sandle. Somebody else has to triarge
the tip line and the tips. Remember, so there's two jobs.
(17:03):
There are two people employed in this already. Okay, you
see where I'm going with this. In three weeks, Barry,
Sally and Barb might get a letter in the mail
because the post only runs two days a week. Now,
remember the letter says we're looking into this issue for you. Meanwhile,
one hundred government or council people have walked or driven
past the road cone Armageddon and nothing has changed. This
(17:26):
is the problem with tip lines, This is the problem
with governments. This is the problem with people who work
for them, and we shouldn't be one of them.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Ryan Bridge.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
After five News Talk CB. We'll get to our reporters
around the country next.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Okay, Ryan Bridge on early edition with one roof Make
your Property Search Simple, Youth Talk ZIBB.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Good morning, it is Tuesday morning, twenty four minutes away
from sixth Great to have your company. We're going to
talk to our Australia correspondent, Donna Demayo about the Aussies
and their defense spending. The Americans on them to pay more.
They're already up in their their spending. So does that
mean we need to pay more to Also, just before six,
we're going to speak about this workplace safety culture change,
(18:24):
because apparently they're just way too worried about safety, to
the point where if you know, you walk out of
your house and there are you're stuck in road cones.
You can't even leave your front door anymore. That's how
bad it is. Anyway, we'll talk at about that four
six o'clock. The chateau has got people really fired up
this morning. Bryan, name a more iconic building in New Zealand.
(18:46):
I mean, what about I don't know, the old government
building in Wellington, what about the Treaty House? What about
Auckland Town Hall? The thing about New Zealand that makes
it There are so many texts on this, I can't
even tell you, Ryan, it will be a very sad day.
My husband and I attended an annual New Year's Eve
ball there. Also, the first New Zealand Argentine Tango Festival
(19:08):
was held there in two thousand and two, both fabulous events,
says Suzan. It needs to be saved. This is from
Linda Ryan. The chateau could be downsized, demolish the various extensions,
restore the original building. There is nothing else in New
Zealand that compares to the sumptuous Natahoey Lounge, which I'm
(19:30):
assuming is somewhere inside the main building New Zealand. Do
you know what the problem is? It's falling apart. It's
an absolute mess. In fact, to quote the Herald today,
severe state of disrepair. Unless you get lots of private
money coming in to fix it, a taxpayer will be
on the hook. And do you know what New Zealand
is famous for? Do you know what people come here
(19:52):
to enjoy? What's behind the Chateau tong Rara National Park?
Absolutely beautiful, nothing like and the rest of the world
you can get plenty of shadows in Europe. We don't
need one here. I mean, if it's going to cost
us something to build, I say, put a bomb under it.
Ryan Bridge, twenty two away from Sex News talks there.
(20:13):
B Cullum Broc is our first up reporters today Dunedin
and there's been a flood assessment done on some properties
Clem Yeah, this is.
Speaker 8 (20:20):
Middle March near Daneedan Ryan and residence there are invited
to discuss the results of that flood has an assessment
at a meeting today. In fact, they urged to attend
this event hosted by the Ottaga Original Council, where they
will present their latest findings. They recently undertook analysis of
flood hazard risks in the area, which is being done
in phases. Phase one was completed last year looking at
(20:42):
the conveyance of March Creek. Phase two has been an
investigation and modeling into water flow of the entire township
of Middle March and potential mitigation options will be looked
at today as part of phase three.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
All right, house, did end's weather?
Speaker 8 (20:57):
I'll find at first becoming cloudy like Wedns and six today?
Speaker 3 (21:00):
All right, you've got some frustration clear in christ Church.
Oh the prospect of a new high school? What's wrong
with that? Yeah?
Speaker 9 (21:07):
Well, actually maybe not a new high school, Ryan. So
the Ministry of Education has been slammed as shortsighted by
one of our city councilors here for a lack of
interest in building a high school for Harswell. The growing
suburb received some funding for a new primary school just
last week. That's after some land on Milns Road was
purchased by the government twenty years ago. Since then, the
(21:29):
population has doubled from twelve thousand to about twenty four thousand.
The local councilor Andre Moore says the ministry needs to
at least buy some land for a high school before
that growth gets too much. He reckons at the moment
the ministry's banking on snobbery continuing and people basically overlooking
the local low decile school at Hilmorton for city city schools.
(21:51):
He says that if all local families did start to
send their children to Hillmorton next year, there would be
a significant problem.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Interesting that your weather a bit frosty.
Speaker 9 (22:02):
To start, a cloudy from this afternoon, light winds and
a high of fifteen.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Mex is in Wellington, haymex Good morning, Good morning. There's
been a miracle rescue at o Techy Beach.
Speaker 10 (22:12):
Yes not hyperbole, a very lucky rescue of a pensioner
at au Tachy over the weekend. Seventy four year old
John Schofield doing a bit of fly fishing. He had
plans to visit his sister afterwards for a coffee in
the morning, took perhaps a step or two too far
further than he should have into the water, got knocked
over by a stronger wave and then wave after wave
kept hitting him, kept him underwater. A woman saw this
(22:34):
on the beach, screened at another man who was kite
surfing to help. Rushed over to John, who was by
this point face down in the water, back of his
head showing virtually motionless.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Rushed to hospital.
Speaker 10 (22:45):
I see you, but he's already back home a little
worse for where perhaps he is going to meet with
his two saviors. The way he describes the moment is
quite poetic in a way. One moment he was face
down in the water. The next it was suddenly bright
and it was daytime. You can read this a wonderful story.
Good right up by Raphael Frank's on the Herald website.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Well like he was saved when you for a moment
when you said pensioner and in the water, that's my
grandmother's there. Well Sanders, she's not a man though, so
I think she's like But the sand it's quite lumpy,
the under the underfoot there, so you will often get
taken by surprise and then taken out to sea. So
that's great that he was rescued.
Speaker 10 (23:25):
Absolutely. How's the weather a little bit of cloud otherwise
fine today fifteen the Hey Central brilliant.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Thanks Max Nevas in Auckland, hay Eva, Happy Tuesday, Happy
Tuesday week.
Speaker 11 (23:37):
Sorry short week.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Oh yes you said, shite week just started. Hey. Certainty
over the safety of partially reopening the War Memorial Museum.
Speaker 12 (23:48):
Yes, now this is after the discovery of asbestos. So
today we know that two thirds of the building will
be accessible to the public. This is after three weeks
of full closure, so that is happening today now. It
meant nearly half a million dollar loss of revenue over
the three weeks. Chief executive David Reeves says, Look, they've
been conducting air monitoring tests for most of the year
(24:10):
so far. He says, every single one of those tests
has been at a low level, so they're very very
confident that it's safe to open today.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
So two thirds of excellent. Yeah. How's the weather for
the open.
Speaker 12 (24:22):
Well, cloudy, period's a chance of a morning shower though
seventeen is the high.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Great Nava. We will look forward to hearing him the news.
Thank you very much. It is eighteen minutes away from six.
Y're on news Talk, said b Coming up next, we
have our Australia correspondent, the Aussies, sorry, the Yanks. Are
asking the Aussies for more defense spending, and of course
we're talking about workplace safety. The Minister Brook van Valden's
come out and said, not only do we have a
(24:47):
tip line, and for those who were wondering what the
number is, it's actually it's an online thing. You can
go on and report online as opposed to actually calling.
But work Safe is apparently shifting its rebalancing to a
less annoying organization. We'll talk about that before six to two.
Good news this morning for Melford. They have just taken
(25:09):

Speaker 1 (26:16):
International correspondence with Ensit Eye Insurance Peace of mind for
New Zealand business.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Our Australia correspondent is done tomorrow. This morning, just gone
thirteen minutes away from top of the r and on
a good morning, Good morning to you. Good to have
you on the show as always. Now the Prime Minister
brushing off a US posh to spend more on defense.
How much do they want?
Speaker 5 (26:37):
Oh?
Speaker 14 (26:38):
Well, the United States has very very strongly suggested that
Australia lift its defense spending to almost one hundred billion
dollars a year as soon as possible. They're saying, because
Australia must do more to support the US in the
Indo Pacific, as it's been put. Now we know that
the US Defense Secretary Pete haiks Eth conveyed this message
(26:59):
to the defense.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
They were on.
Speaker 14 (27:02):
It was a chat on the sidelines of a recent
conference or gathering, let's say in Singapore, and you know
they did talk about perhaps the increasing US tension with China.
And so now we've heard that they think that we
should lift Australia should lift its defense spending. Now it
currently sits at about two percent of GDP, and the
(27:23):
US says, oh no, it should lift to about three
point five percent of the GDP, adding about forty billion dollars.
Now we've heard from the PM and he says the
country will not be dictated to on defense spending. And
they already had planned to increase the defense spending from
about two to two point three three percent of Australia's
GDP over the next eight years. And so the PMS
(27:47):
actually said, what you should do in defense is decide
what you need your capability and then provide for it.
That's what my government is doing.
Speaker 15 (27:55):
So pretty much brushing off what the US is suggesting
Australia should do, okay, and what.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
About there's a warning for Ozzy's heading to Indonesia.
Speaker 15 (28:04):
Yes, well, hundreds of thousands of Ozzi's love going to
Indonesia and particularly Bali. But there's an update from the
Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade Smart Traveler website urging
travelers to exercise a high degree of caution when they
holiday in this popular destination. As we know, and so
we know that there's been some incidents lately. Australians have
(28:25):
drowned unpatrolled beaches due to rough seas and strong rib currents.
But there's also been a caution against leaving food and
drinks unattended due to a risk in getting a drink
spiked and methanol poisoning. And there's been several cases reported
in Bali and nearby Lombok of late.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
So just be careful out there, tourists, all right. Probably
a good warning for us too, if you guys are
telling you a lot that, Hey, thank you very much,
Donald Tomorrow, our Australia correspondent, Nice to have you on.
The show is always eleven minutes away from six Bridge.
The government's shaking up Work Safe. They want to essentially
shift its focus from being an ambulance at the bottom
of the hell to engaging and supporting businesses to manage
(29:06):
risk and remember the road Cone hotline while that's being
hotly and officially launched today. Dave Tilton is the Parallax
CEO Traffic Control Training. Dave, good morning to you, wedding.
Does this sound all like a bit of nothing to you?
What are you making of this announcement?
Speaker 11 (29:24):
I think there's there's pockets of good signals here. I
think I certainly support the collaborative intent, very much agree
with the connection there between Work Safe and councils and EDGTA.
When it comes to rolling out the risk based approach
to TTM, I think that's definitely a direction we need
to go in. But there's also probably some incompatible components,
(29:44):
particularly with the road Cone hotline itself.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
What's that? What's the problem with the hot line?
Speaker 11 (29:51):
I think I suppose we need a list in the
capability across the industry with respect to TTM, and a
hotline really risks increasing the divide I think between public
behavior and how contractors respond to that. My concern really
is that the engaging the public to report that all
those perceived errants road cones if you like, kind of
creates a culture of disrespect for roadworks. So public sentiment
(30:14):
respect it's really crucial for how effective these worksites are, right,
So if that eroads, then the risk is that more
TT measures are needed to try and engineer the safe
environment to get the work done. That I suppose my concern.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
What do you think the percentage approval rating of your
average road come would be? Right now?
Speaker 11 (30:33):
I've actually asked this question in a bunch of workshops,
and it's somewhat hard to remember that the TATAM sectors
lived with a very prescriptive standard for the last couple
of decades. So it's that's primarily what people make decisions
about or using that to make decisions and how they
construct their work zones at the moment. So there is
a degree of waste, absolutely, It's just it takes a
bit of time for that culture shift to show up.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
David, can you just tell me why when you go
on to a very quiet could of sax Stream, if
somebody is fixing a drain or doing a tiny bit
of work, that you could just put a couple of
road cones around and people can use their own assessments
they need traffic management. They need lights and they need people.
It just seems absurd.
Speaker 13 (31:17):
Sorry.
Speaker 11 (31:18):
It comes back to how people make decisions about how
many measures they need, and if it's based on this
prescriptive standard, it's not this kind of one size fits all,
then you end up with a mismatch, certainly in the
environments where the risk might be lower. What we really
want is people to do a really deliberate and considered
site specific risk assessments for that environment. And that's not
really been the situation or the structure of the system historically.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
Okay, all right, I really appreciate your times wanting Dave
do thank you very much. That is Dave Tilton. He's
the Parallax CEO of Traffic Control Training Organization. Eight minutes
away from six, You're on News Talk ZB right next
the news.
Speaker 1 (31:55):

Speaker 3 (32:41):
One side again. One side is my fault, yes, the
other side. It was actually a reaction to this fault,
because I mean, oh shit, shooted you know? So that's
it's the printer's fault. It's printed one word per piece
of paper.
Speaker 13 (32:57):
How come you keep spilling stuff?
Speaker 3 (32:59):
It's happened twice. I've been here a year.
Speaker 5 (33:01):
Is that?
Speaker 16 (33:01):
How many times have I spilt something in the last year?

How hundred, one hundred thousand?
Speaker 3 (33:49):
How much would you pay?
Speaker 16 (33:50):

hundred and ninety nine.
Speaker 13 (33:56):
