Speaker 1 (00:02):
The issues, the interviews and the inside Ryan Bridge on
early edition with one roof make your property search simple,
US dogs, that'd be.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Good morning, Welcome to your Monday, Judith Collins live on
those new choppers. Any of our soldiers going to get
a pay rise out of this, We'll ask. We'll also
love to Australia to figure out exactly why Elbow won
and increased his majority over there. Gavin Gray and the
UK su Moranian terrorists are suspected of targeting a specific site.
We'll ask him which one? Plus Andrew Allison here was sport,
(00:37):
the Warriors, great Liam laws and goods. But then what
happened to his points? Super Rugby? So much to talk about,
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
The agenda.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
It is Monday, the fifth of May. The Hut, he's
still not under control. Clearly they've hit inside Israel and
airport and Tel Aviv Netanyah. He's going to hit them
right back.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Israel.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Also, the US and the UK have carried out a
number of strikes on Houthi targets in Yaman to try
to not only stop these attacks from the hoof thats
on Israel, but also to stop attacks that the Houthis
have carried out on commercial ships in the red.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Seat to the US. Is he gonna was he joking?
Does he want to be a dictator? This is Trump
and a potential third term. He's just said this on NBC.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
This is not something I'm looking to do.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
But I think we're gonna have four years, and I
think four years is plenty of time to do something
really spectacular. We're across the Tasman on the election shortly,
but doesn't losing his seat up to twenty four years
is a bit embarrassing. Now.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
We didn't do well enough during this campaign. That much
is obvious tonight and I accept full responsibility for that.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Finally, Cabana Beach, Brazil, somebody was going to bomb and
Lady Gaga concert. The cop stopped at Constant when he
had two million turned up.
Speaker 7 (01:54):
They arrested two people and it was a plot orchestrated
by group writing hate speech and the radicalization of teenagers,
which includes self harm and violent content in a form
of social belonging. That was the whole point of this group,
according to Civil Please.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
That's your agenda for Monday morning, eight after five on.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early Edition with Ryan
Bridge and one roof. Make your property search simple if
you talk, said.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Be Steve says, good morning, Ryan. I think people don't
like men with shaved bald heads e g. Dussn't and Luxon, Well,
Luxon did win an election. Remember that Dussin obviously hasn't
and quite spectacularly failed doing so. But what's worse than
what else do you mean to do? If your head
is balding, but shave it. You know what's worse than
(02:45):
a bald man with a shaved head is a bald
man with a patchy head. I would have thought. Anyway,
Good morning to you. Great to have your company so
much to talk about today around the world, but also
here we'll talk about those c Sprite helicopters. First, watch
that pre conference yesterday with Judith Collins. Look, there's some
good stuff in there. You've got nine hundred and fifty
seven million over four years in your estate, your personnel,
(03:08):
that is good. The missions. They're going to sale more,
they're going to fly more, they're going to train more,
they're going to operate more. They're going to get better housing,
they're going to get better kit. You're going to get
more money in your pocket. You're going to go further,
for longer, and more often on missions. If you're a soldier,
if you work in the defense force, that is awesome.
That's great news. It's exactly what you want to be doing,
(03:30):
not sitting out the back of some MiQ facility. There's
no economic prosperity without security, is the government's line. I
wonder how how people feel, whether there's enough impetus around that,
whether people agree with that enough to be spending the
kind of money that we're about to be spending. No
doubt we've got to spend it, but I wonder whether
(03:51):
people are on board with it at this point. So
we'll get some new helicopters, But are they at risk
the government? Are they at risk of making announcements about announcements.
This is actually not even an announcement about an announcement.
It's an announcement about an announcement about an announcement because
they haven't even got a business case through cabinet. All
(04:13):
they're announcing is that they have put some money aside
from five Sea Sprite helicopters. They haven't got a business
case through cabinet yet. So you've got nothing ordered, you've
got no contract signed, you haven't even got a request
for a procurement process to kick off. Yet it'd be
like telling your friends you go and buy a house
and your wife actually hasn't agreed to it yet. You
know it's pointless, isn't it. I don't know. They do
(04:39):
run the rest. Remember that was the syndrome that befell
the previous government. So just be careful due to Collins
is on the program just before six this morning, so
we'll talk to her about that. Some excellent news. This
is to kick you off on a positive note for
your Monday morning. This is fantastic because we know that
our kids reading and writing and maths and everything has
been a bit shye lately. Well, promising signs out of Northland.
(05:03):
This was a story up from Friday. And remember the
NZDA are the unions pushed back on structured literacy. This
is where you make this the sound out the words.
You sound out the sounds and then you make the words.
Made sense when I went to school, but it all
changed and it all went up the wazoo. Anyway, Early
findings from Northland positive results for sounding out your words
(05:27):
at least this is term one. The government's brought this in.
Early findings from ero two things to watch for. Half
of teachers report that structured literacy approaches have improved student
engagement a lot. Three quarters of teachers say structured literacy
approaches have improved literacy for most students. That is fantastic. Yes,
(05:49):
it's early days, but it's fantastic news. And who would
have thought because the unions didn't like it, they're going
to have to now maybe they're wrong about charter schools too.
Maybe they are. Twelve minutes after five news talks, there'd
b will get to Ozzie next for the election.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Ryan Bridge on Illly edition, Where's one roof make your
Property Search Simple?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Youth Talk zebby interesting fourteen minutes after five news talks said,
be Singaporeans. They have kept their incumbent too. This is
the PAP Party governed them since nineteen fifty nine. If
you've been to Singapore, you know it is a democracy.
They do have free and fair elections, but there's derrymandering
that goes on. The media is all controlled up the wazoos,
so you wouldn't call it a strict democracy in the
(06:34):
way that we know it. But anyway, they've kept their
lot and romania while you know Australia and Canada running
a mile from Trump, Romania running towards him. This is Simeon.
He's the thirty eight year old says he's a natural
ally of Trump. He liked Trump and like Vance, don't
like support for Ukraine. He borders Ukraine anyway. He's having
a second round of voting. Looks like he'll get through too.
(06:56):
It is quarter past five, Rayan Bridge, so Elbow's done it.
First Labor prime minister since Hawk to go back to
back today.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
The Australian people have voted for Australian values, for fairness,
aspiration and opportunity for all.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
And he gets a bigger majority, which means that you
gave Paul we told you about on Friday was pretty
much on the money. The trivia on the opposition benches grim.
No federal opposition leader has lost their electric seat during
an Australian election general election until Dutton lost his at
the weekend. Leslie Yeomans, Australia correspondent, Good.
Speaker 8 (07:38):
Morning, Good morning Ryan.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
It's never one thing that loses you an election or
wins it was it uncertainty about Trump was dust and
crap on the campaign trail. I mean I don't get
the sense that this was we love elbow. Was it? No?
Speaker 9 (07:55):
And you're right, there wasn't one thing. The Liberals were
pretty crap on the campaign trail, putting it bluntly. Look,
there's never ever really one thing that the whole electorate,
the whole voting population votes for a reason.
Speaker 8 (08:16):
The Liberals just had a.
Speaker 9 (08:18):
Really bad campaign and people didn't like Peter Dutton as
a possible prime minister, and the fact that he lost
his seat like John Howard did. John Howard lost his
seat back in and was it keven O seven two
thousand and seven, wasn't it? John Howard lost his seat.
Tony Abbott lost his seat eventually, So now Dutton's lost
(08:40):
his and he's lost it to a woman by the
name of Ali France, and it was her third time
going up against him in his seat Queensland Seed of Dixon.
She was just just kept eating away at his small
majority and got there in the end. And not just
(09:01):
though every state went towards labor, and one of the
comments on Saturday night was that Victoria is generally a
very labor state. It's one of the most progressive states
in the country, and Victoria was lagging behind because it
wasn't as far ahead showing the swing to labor as
(09:23):
everyone else. It was sort of like very very funny
to watch, to be honest. But now in Victoria, even
labor there has It's gone from no liberal MPs in
city at all in any of the metropolitan areas. Same
with South Australia. In Tasmania they had two liberal MPs
(09:45):
down there. They lost both of those. So all of
Tasmania is now labor except for one seat, and that's
in Hobart where there is an independent who was a
long standing independent in Hobart. Every state has gone red
to labor and and it's it's been just a pretty
amazing sort of thing. You know, when some of the
polls were saying that there was a possibility of a
(10:07):
labor minority government or even a liberal win or it
just went hold my beer, not now we're going, We're
going all the way.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Great, great analysis of it. Leslie, really appreciate that. This morning,
Leslie Oman's our Australia correspondent. I've got a few thoughts
on this. I've getten to you before half pass next.
Andrew Alison, with all of that beautiful sport from the weekend, the.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
News you need this morning and the in depth analysis
early edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof make your
Property search Simple News Talks.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
It'd be five twenty one, News Talk said be due
to Collins here before six Andrew Alison was sport. Good morning,
Greeting's right, I haven't seen you in a while.
Speaker 10 (10:48):
Yeah, I just had the autumnal break.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Lovely nice way nice, thanks very much.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Ron.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Hey, Warrior is doing really well?
Speaker 10 (10:56):
Oh is there a team in world sport that takes
you on a high and you know, troughs and peaks
more than the Warriors. I watched that game, or at
least the second half of it on the weekend and
against the Cowboy is the four point win, but gee,
what they're up twenty eight to twelve at halftime, I think,
and yeah, cursing them one minute and cheering them the next,
that really is.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Quite the ride.
Speaker 10 (11:18):
And they got their end. Have moved now to well
they would temporarily top of the table, but with the
Bulldogs winning again, so they've moved out sixteen points. So
the Warriors fourteenth and third on points differential.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Fantastic. We'll keep that up, won't meet lawson named Lawson
got some funny weekend for him too. But he will
start fifteen Miami. He will of course the sprint race.
Speaker 10 (11:39):
The controversy there Fernando Alonso the turn eleven, turn twelve,
I think Lawson was a head and twelve, but he
needed to give a loonzo room. So he's penalized and
lost his points in the sprint. But you will see
what he can do in the longer version today. But yeah,
it's a frustrating time it seems to be for Leam Lawson,
(11:59):
just with race symbols and what they're doing. And I
mean I think if he was just able to get
some points that would really help his confidence and world
team's confidence, I think leading into the rest of the sea.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
I see they were looking at taking swearing off the
off the hot minks because it's causing a bit of
a controversy. Surely there's a way of AI to to
do this, to auto edit out. Yeah yeah, I mean
who can argue with it.
Speaker 10 (12:23):
I mean, if one's swearing to it would be be
philly billy chocole, wouldn't it.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
But it's stupid. If you want to get the netty
gritty the inside, this is.
Speaker 10 (12:32):
What it is all you're doing absolutely And the thing
is that when you're driving at three k's an hour
and your life's on the line, Yeah, I could cursing
here and.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
There is fire truck. No, not quite going to cut it?
Cut it? Hey? Is that tong leading Mark Williams? This
is the snooky in Sheffield.
Speaker 10 (12:53):
Oh, this is always one of the highlights of my year. Anyway,
on the bays at the Crucible Theater. It's come to
the climax this morning, Ryan. So we've got yeah Jintower
up against Williams. Of course he's not looking to become the
first Chinese winner of the event. And Williams he's already
a three time champion, but he would be the oldest
(13:14):
winner at fifty and there's an age gap of twenty
two years there between the two of them. But the
best in the competition so far. So we'll wait, you know,
with great excitement to see what happens there.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
We will look forward to your.
Speaker 10 (13:27):
Starting again sixth the next phase of it. It goes
over two days, but best of thirty five frames. Yes,
so Jinta Al is up by seven frames to.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
What brilliant Great to see you again all lovely doing
it all again. Next week Andrew I bought twenty four
after five News Talks there B. What are all of
these election results around the world mean for us here
in New Zealand.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
That's next the early edition full the Show podcast on
iHeartRadio powered by News Talks.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
It be news Talks B. It is twenty six minutes
after five. No doubt Donald Trump's brand is dicey at
best at home, but globally. In term one of Donald Trump,
the world watched on with a mix of kind of
amusement and feigned concern. Term two is very different. These
results out of Canada and Australia at the weekend show,
(14:14):
the brand is turned toxic. Like a beef Wellington at
a family dinner party. We've all seen the host, the
chef tucking in, but we're thinking, hmm, do we want
to do the same. We can't get much closer in
Styalin substance to Canada and Australia when it comes to democracy.
Both chained to the Westminster system we inherited from other England,
and both of our cousins have turned on their political
(14:36):
oppositions as Trump up ends the global order to rub
salt in the wornd. For both Polliev and Dutton. They
lost their seats as well as their elections. We spoke
about this on Friday, But what is the message here?
Trump is toxic. Pollier's problem was one of style. He
sounded and campaigned too much like Trump, the airport hangar
(14:57):
with the branded plane behind him, the show on the
nightly news. People didn't like that. Dutton's problem was more complicated. First,
he ran a crap campaign, realizing a defense force plan
so expensive against funding to three percent of GDP, I
mean we can't take on Elbow's tax cuts and a
cost of living crisis, and then only releasing that plan
(15:18):
two weeks out from a campaign was done, But it
was also about the word economists are spitting out like
a bad stake at the moment, uncertainty. Don't ask Luxon,
though he gave a bizarre response when asked about this yesterday.
Have a listen.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
What you're seeing is in Singapore, Canada, Australia, the public
voting for governments that have their eyes on the right
things and the right things. For us is to make
sure we don't take our eyes off the economic growth.
That's why if we say growth, growth, growth, we keep
talking economics and rebuilding the economy from day one.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
That's important. A weird thing to say. Basically, the Aussies
in the Canadians simply picked the most economically credible parties
in the face of uncertain times. What those parties he's
endorsing are both from the left. That's the equivalent of
kicking his sister parties, the Aussie Libs and the Canadian Conservatives,
(16:10):
right in the shins when they're down. It made no sense.
I think you wanted to avoid mentioning the Trump bump.
Maybe what's actually happening here is not really about parties.
In times of uncertainty, you don't change your horse. Mid
Stream voters stick with what they know. When the world
is in a spin, you don't know up from down.
(16:31):
Human nature, for the most part is to do nothing
and hope it goes away. Why risk a new government
of unknown quantity. Singapore arguably just done the same. The counterfaction,
of course, is obviously America. But remember the American economy
was actually growing for the past few years, consumer spending
was strong, inflation had come down earlier than ours. So
(16:52):
that's a different set of circumstances as to why they
went for Trump. The best comparison for what's happened in
Australia and Canada in the past week is twenty twenty
New Zealand. A bunch of people really worried about a
perceived global threat, rallying around the flagpole and rejecting a
campaign that was neither well run nor nailing the public mood,
which Judith Collins disastrous twenty twenty attempt didn't whether it
(17:16):
was Trump worried reaction to him. For Luxeon to attribute
the fiscal credentials of left wing parties abroad with their
success was an unnecessary own goal.
Speaker 9 (17:30):
Bredge Breach.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
You're on News TALKSB. It is twenty nine minutes after five,
the first.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Word on the News of the Day Early edition with
Ryan Bridge and one Room to make your property Surgeon
Symbol News Talks B.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Good morning, while you see Monday twenty four away from
six News Talks THEB. We're going to get to Judith
Collins on defense before six. Also Gavin Gray in the
UK for US this morning, Ryan Interest analysis on the elections.
That's the Canadian and Australian the weekend. Perhaps the difference
between Canada, Australia and New Zealand is that the National
Party here, isn't remotely trump pest. I think that's the truth,
(18:12):
isn't it. We've got Winston for that, haven't we. And
that was on full display at that announcement, which we'll
talk to Due Toth Collins about later on in the show.
That was on full display at the announcement at for
Nolpai yesterday. Interesting story this morning about Buddha and his
sacred jewels. So when he died, he was apparently buried
with a whole bunch of dazzling a cache of dazzling jewels,
(18:34):
and in the eighteen hundred someone dug them up. They
have found their way into a private collection. Some brit
owns them, and now they're going up for auction. Southby's
Hong Kong is going to auction them. Now there is
an ethical debate going on, you can imagine, because they're
Buddha's jewels, and should you be seen should somebody be
(18:55):
selling and profiting off Buddha's jewels? I wonder why Buddha
had jewels in the first place. Aren't they meant to
be sort of you know, not materialistic? Isn't that or
letting go of material Maybe they should be sold because
Finally you are releasing him of his material trappings. There
you go. It is twenty three away from six Ryan
(19:16):
Chalum Procter and needing for us this morning calm labors
making noise about Needing Hospitals Intensive Care Unit. Yeah.
Speaker 11 (19:25):
Look, Health New Zealand has confirmed here the number of
ICU beds for our new hospitals decrease from thirty which
was originally planned, to twenty now for the opening, with
the option to expand it over time. Some have reacted
naturally with concern about this proposal, but our mayor here,
Jie's Radick, says, look, he's comfortable.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
With the plant as it stands.
Speaker 11 (19:44):
He says he's had word directly from the Health Minister
that this new hospital project is on track and twenty
beds is sufficient for our region's needs to begin with.
And Radick also says it's important to remember the final
fit out decisions will be made in five years time.
He also says a tender is due out this week
for a concrete or to finally start building the foundations.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Brilliant callum, how's your weather?
Speaker 11 (20:10):
But a morning fom but then a fine day today
at a good week ahead like whin sixteen, the high
excellent and.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Christ Church clears with us clear, good morning, good morning.
Now people are getting a first glimpse at the new stadium.
Speaker 12 (20:21):
They are indeed, look twenty people too at the new
Stadium Takaha yesterday after being drawn from a hat of
more than sixteen hundred applicants. This was part of the
open christ Church Festival railing. Palmer was one of them
who was there to look around to the new stadium.
She actually was brought to tears as I spoke to
her during that tour. We were standing on the concourse
looking out across the field of play at the time.
(20:44):
She says, this really feels like a new era for
christ Church and Cantabrian's. It feels like it's the icing
on the cake of our rebuild. I also spoke with
the guy Steve Moore. He's been our Crusaders season ticket
holder since the day the temporary stadium opened. He said
he couldn't believe he was one of the lucky ones
and says he was completely blown away after several sleepless,
(21:05):
sleepless nights from excitement.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
It's very exciting. I mean even I'm excited up here.
I want to come to the opening, whatever the opening is,
I want to be there. Clear you had to get
me a tech out a cake. I'll see you there now.
Speaker 12 (21:16):
The weather mainly fine today, bit frosty to start though
northeasterly is developing and a higher fifteen.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Max toll in Wellington. Good morning Max, Good morning Palmerston
North looking at sugary drinks bands. Yeah, this is.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
A proposal to go before the Palmerston North City Council
on Wednesday, looking at banning sugary drinks at the council
on venues. The mayor there though at Grant Smith he's
told Aarons that he believes this is an overreach. He's
warning alcohol could be next. It makes the city unattractive,
I was about to say more unattractive. Public submissions generally
(21:50):
against this as well. It's part of the Council's proposed
health promotion policy, which also includes being smoke free vaatee
free outdoors as well. Energy drink flavored milk cordial also
included in this proposed ban. I'd imagine tap water might
be the only item on the menu at Arena Manawatu.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
If this goes through. Honestly, just stories like this make
my blood boiled. Just ban everything, That's why I picked it. Yeah,
it's Monday morning. You're most prone to a heart attack
on a Monday morning. Don't do this to me. What's next?
Thing about? You know? Stop ban breathing, moving, you know,
because you breathe that cabin dark. So I don't know what.
Just bear it to the environment. So everyone, when you
(22:29):
go to a stadium in Palmerston, North, no breathing, no moving,
no drinking, no toilet weather.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Yeah fine, Northerly's fourteen the High Central, thank you.
Speaker 13 (22:42):
It'll be no talking next.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
No talking That would kill me. No, there would be
no Neva without a constant stream of consciousness. Hey, this
is a really sad stream of this is everyone will
know about this around the country. But the American pH
student who was killed a couple of weeks ago in
meadow Bank at that bus stop. Yeah, and there's a
(23:05):
sort of a memorial happening.
Speaker 13 (23:07):
Yes, and that's happening today. So the meadow Bank community
will be gathering today. Now look about fifty people, including
Kyle Warrel's mother. They held a silent auction. This happened
yesterday to raise money. So today what they're doing is
that they're gathering at Saint John's Bush and they're going
to plant a Bahutah cowa try which is lovely in
honor of Kyle Warrel. And as we know, we've got
(23:28):
a sixteen year old male he's being charged with murder
aggravated robbery. Also a thirty two year old woman has
been charged with being an accessory after the fact of murder,
So that.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Will case closely. How's the weather today.
Speaker 13 (23:41):
Morning cloud? Then find today's high eighteen call and Chris Mornings.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Yay, excellent. If everyone's talking about dust and being baled
and that's a problem, do you think bald been a
bald man?
Speaker 13 (23:51):
I don't have a problem with this. I mean I'm
not seeing a bald man, so that's what.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Did do you have a problem with?
Speaker 13 (23:58):
No, No, I'm just saying, you know how some people
were kind of you know, men and women are kind
of attracted to bald people.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
So some people actually like it.
Speaker 14 (24:05):
Did they like it?
Speaker 7 (24:06):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (24:07):
I don't know that.
Speaker 13 (24:08):
Yeah, that's what I've heard right out there in the
news room from one or two people.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Do you know I went to buy a shaver at
the weekend. Well I did buy a new shaver, right
because the old one was cutting me. But can you
tell me?
Speaker 13 (24:20):
I can actually now.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
I've made a massive error.
Speaker 13 (24:23):
You've taken quite a bit off your bed.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
It's nearly all gone. Yes, So the number you know
you got your one, two, three, four. The numbers are
different for different brands. Oh, I went with the same number.
So what was your number? Number two?
Speaker 13 (24:37):
Number two?
Speaker 2 (24:38):
And it's come up like a number one. There's barely anything.
Let that's right?
Speaker 13 (24:41):
Actually now that I'm really focusing on your face because
I usually don't focus on your face when I come in.
But yeah, oh I need to take a photo.

Gavin Gray in the UK for US givin Good Morning,
Hither are now eight men arrested over a suspected TIRA
plot involving a target, A specific target? Do we know
what it was?
Speaker 14 (25:22):
No, we're not being told that. We do know that
of the eight seven are Iranian nationals. Now, it's a
combination of two different police operations going on around the UK,
a gang of three, it said, being arrested in and
around London, but also five others arrested at various locations
around England. Part they're saying of a pre planned investigation
(25:45):
into an alleged plot too, as you said, target a
specific premises. Now, all five who were arrested around the
country were arrested on suspicion appropriation of an act of
terrorism in the second operation, and the three men aged
between thirty nine and fifty five were arrested under the
National Security Act at different addresses. What's interesting about this, Ryan,
(26:08):
you might think, well, Iranian nationals in the UK. Well,
that is a common thread to what's going on here,
because just last year, the director general of mi I
five said his organization and police have responded to twenty
Iran backed plots presenting potentially lethal threats to British citizens
in UK residents since January of twenty twenty two, So
twenty plots over a period of just over two and
(26:30):
a half years. When he said that, and that I
think goes some way to show you just where mi
I five is getting so busy.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Absolutely, Now, what's the problem with your heating or potential
problem with your heating.
Speaker 14 (26:41):
Yeah, So, in the nineteen eighties, meters were fitted to
effectively switch between peak and off peak use of electricity,
because of course off peak is cheaper. However, these so
called RTS Radio Teleswitching system meters were replaced a bench
by smart meters, although frankly many people don't trust those
(27:03):
in their home either. Anyway, this old technology is going
to be switched off on the thirtieth of June, but
it's estimated by some in the industry that there are
still four hundred and thirty thousand households using RTS meters
for their heating and hot water, and only one thousand
are being replaced each day. So by doing the maths,
thinking this has to be done by the thirtieth of June,
(27:24):
there's simply going to be nowhere near hitting the number
of households that they need to do in order to
get these people's monitors basically updated. And they're saying there
is a very real risk that once this system is
switched off, this long wave radio frequency system, then that
could mean that people are left without hot water or heating.
(27:45):
It is our summer, so that should be okay, but
it's going to be pretty inconvenient for many people.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
All right, Gevin, good to have you on. Gevin Gray
are UK correspondent for your Monday morning and living away from.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Six Bryan Bridge, shoot of.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Collins out on the time achert Phenopai. Yes, they are
Sonorri they were a har here. I think I'll have
to clarify with her when she comes on. She's here now.
Money has been put aside for the Defense Force to
go shopping for five new c Sprite helicopters. Two billion
dollars set aside, plus a billion over four years on
other stuff. Personnel will get better digs, they'll do longer
(28:17):
deployments around the world, and they will do more of them.
Minister's here, good morning.
Speaker 8 (28:22):
Oh, good morning Ryan. And that's a new pin, a
new pie.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
It was now look great announcement. I'm sure it will
be welcomed by those who by the troops. But is
it is it an announcement about an announcement? I mean
we haven't even got a case through cabinet yet. We've
got no contracts sign we've got no procurement register, no funding.
Really approved. Just set aside, what was it?
Speaker 8 (28:47):
Well, set aside. It's an announcement to say to people
and those that we are looking to procure from, we've
got the money and we're about to put out the
tenders basically, and so yes, it's actually a very big announcement.
And then the other thing is the extra almost billion
(29:07):
dollars over the next four years for operational reasons. So
it's a big announcement. We're very excited about it. And
our defense force person that I've got to say, are
absolutely Cockahoo faverage.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
I can imagine the billion dollars is big. We'll get
to that in a second. But why does it need
so that the seas right, helicopter's right, you come out.
You see we've got two billion bucks. We want them,
we want five of them. Why do you then need
to go away? Do they have to go away into
a business case to cabinet? Is that a waste of time?
Given you've said that you know the the financials and
(29:41):
the number.
Speaker 8 (29:43):
It's just the normal processes and government and the reason
there's and I you know, I think it's really important
to understand this is big bucks, it's tax money, and
we always do this. So we always go into a
business case as to why, and then we come up
with the options for procurement. But the reason for that is,
(30:03):
I mean, we're not announcing this without knowing we're going
to do it, But you do need to be able
to put the work in to say, nobody wants to
have another purchase back in early two thousands of another
one hundred and something labs. Nobody wants to have that
sort of thing happening, and we haven't. We've had really
good procurement in the last decade or so, so we
(30:23):
need to make sure we continue down that pathway.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
This extra billion you're giving, do you expect our soldiers,
our front line, we'll get a pay rise out of this.
Speaker 8 (30:33):
Oh I'm not going to talk about that because that's
the Chief of Defense Forces.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
But what it means, well.
Speaker 8 (30:41):
My expectation is that we've had some quite big pay
rises last year around remuneration. So when people say, oh,
there's been no that's not true. But actually every time
our people go on deployment, they get a benefit from that,
so they get extra money from that too. So they
want to be up deployment and I want to be
sitting at home fighting over remote control. They want to
(31:03):
be out there representing their country. But it does mean
is that they'll have better places to live in that
there'll be better investment in their work they're training, but
also more staff. That's also part of it. So you know,
it's quite a substantial thing. And frankly, after thirty five
(31:25):
years with a couple of years where that it wasn't true,
thirty five years of underspending, cutting and just basically raping
and pillaging of our defense force assets, this is a
huge turnaround.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
More missions, longer missions, further missions. Great. They will love this,
and I know it's on an operational issue for them
to decide. But do you expect we will see more patrols,
more involvement in drills in the South China Sea, more
like you know, the Valiant Shield exercise of the US,
more of that stuff.
Speaker 8 (31:55):
I think you're going to see more of a lot
more So. Our people have been in Bahrain, they've been
doing things around the Red Sea, They've been everywhere, and
they're sitting around the Indian Ocean. They're working with the
Indian Navy as well on interdictions around massive drug classicking,
(32:17):
heroine and those sorts of things. So you know, you're
just going to see more of them. But also the
big thing for them is that's what they join for.
And I think you know too, is that some of
this we've got critical estate managed maintenance of twenty six million,
one hundred and four million of over four years. I mean,
that's enormous, but the reason is because nothing's been done
(32:39):
for a very long time.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Winston says we need to get two percent faster. Do
you agree with them?
Speaker 8 (32:44):
Yeah, I know, Well we've said that if we can,
we will, and we've also said two is that the.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
If you want at Winston once, who's the whole up,
the whole.
Speaker 8 (32:57):
Upper we need to we need to actually have the
economy growing so we can do that. But the other
thing is every two years we'll check in. We're called
them that this is a floor, not a ceiling, and
if we can get faster, we will. But you can't
do it without the personnel and that's part of what
we're doing here.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
We appreciate your time. Defense Minister Tutith Collins News Talk said.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
B get ahead of the headlines on early edition with
Ryan Bridge and one roof Make Your Property Search Simple.
News Talk sib.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Border Sex, Welcome to your Monday morning Mike is here
with your next Mike. Good morning, Good morning. I've spilt water.
Speaker 11 (33:31):
All over the desk, fairly evident what you've done here,
and you've made a complete disaster of the place.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
And if you could just tidy it up and wipe
it down. I am look at me, I said, at
least it wasn't milk stink up. That's true. A bit
over there, look at that, but see the but yeah,
look at that? How much was there? Apologies? It was
a full glass. Anyway, what you got on excellent, Have
a great one. I promise this will be dry by
the tongue. See tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Or from early edition with Ryan Bridge. Listen live to
news Talks it'd be from five am weekdays, or follow
the podcast on iHeartRadio
The issues, the interviews and the inside Ryan Bridge on
early edition with one roof make your property search simple,
US dogs, that'd be.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Good morning, Welcome to your Monday, Judith Collins live on
those new choppers. Any of our soldiers going to get
a pay rise out of this, We'll ask. We'll also
love to Australia to figure out exactly why Elbow won
and increased his majority over there. Gavin Gray and the
UK su Moranian terrorists are suspected of targeting a specific site.
We'll ask him which one? Plus Andrew Allison here was sport,
(00:37):
the Warriors, great Liam laws and goods. But then what
happened to his points? Super Rugby? So much to talk about,
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
The agenda.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
It is Monday, the fifth of May. The Hut, he's
still not under control. Clearly they've hit inside Israel and
airport and Tel Aviv Netanyah. He's going to hit them
right back.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Israel.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Also, the US and the UK have carried out a
number of strikes on Houthi targets in Yaman to try
to not only stop these attacks from the hoof thats
on Israel, but also to stop attacks that the Houthis
have carried out on commercial ships in the red.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Seat to the US. Is he gonna was he joking?
Does he want to be a dictator? This is Trump
and a potential third term. He's just said this on NBC.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
This is not something I'm looking to do.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
But I think we're gonna have four years, and I
think four years is plenty of time to do something
really spectacular. We're across the Tasman on the election shortly,
but doesn't losing his seat up to twenty four years
is a bit embarrassing. Now.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
We didn't do well enough during this campaign. That much
is obvious tonight and I accept full responsibility for that.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Finally, Cabana Beach, Brazil, somebody was going to bomb and
Lady Gaga concert. The cop stopped at Constant when he
had two million turned up.
Speaker 7 (01:54):
They arrested two people and it was a plot orchestrated
by group writing hate speech and the radicalization of teenagers,
which includes self harm and violent content in a form
of social belonging. That was the whole point of this group,
according to Civil Please.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
That's your agenda for Monday morning, eight after five on.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early Edition with Ryan
Bridge and one roof. Make your property search simple if
you talk, said.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Be Steve says, good morning, Ryan. I think people don't
like men with shaved bald heads e g. Dussn't and Luxon, Well,
Luxon did win an election. Remember that Dussin obviously hasn't
and quite spectacularly failed doing so. But what's worse than
what else do you mean to do? If your head
is balding, but shave it. You know what's worse than
(02:45):
a bald man with a shaved head is a bald
man with a patchy head. I would have thought. Anyway,
Good morning to you. Great to have your company so
much to talk about today around the world, but also
here we'll talk about those c Sprite helicopters. First, watch
that pre conference yesterday with Judith Collins. Look, there's some
good stuff in there. You've got nine hundred and fifty
seven million over four years in your estate, your personnel,
(03:08):
that is good. The missions. They're going to sale more,
they're going to fly more, they're going to train more,
they're going to operate more. They're going to get better housing,
they're going to get better kit. You're going to get
more money in your pocket. You're going to go further,
for longer, and more often on missions. If you're a soldier,
if you work in the defense force, that is awesome.
That's great news. It's exactly what you want to be doing,
(03:30):
not sitting out the back of some MiQ facility. There's
no economic prosperity without security, is the government's line. I
wonder how how people feel, whether there's enough impetus around that,
whether people agree with that enough to be spending the
kind of money that we're about to be spending. No
doubt we've got to spend it, but I wonder whether
(03:51):
people are on board with it at this point. So
we'll get some new helicopters, But are they at risk
the government? Are they at risk of making announcements about announcements.
This is actually not even an announcement about an announcement.
It's an announcement about an announcement about an announcement because
they haven't even got a business case through cabinet. All
(04:13):
they're announcing is that they have put some money aside
from five Sea Sprite helicopters. They haven't got a business
case through cabinet yet. So you've got nothing ordered, you've
got no contract signed, you haven't even got a request
for a procurement process to kick off. Yet it'd be
like telling your friends you go and buy a house
and your wife actually hasn't agreed to it yet. You
know it's pointless, isn't it. I don't know. They do
(04:39):
run the rest. Remember that was the syndrome that befell
the previous government. So just be careful due to Collins
is on the program just before six this morning, so
we'll talk to her about that. Some excellent news. This
is to kick you off on a positive note for
your Monday morning. This is fantastic because we know that
our kids reading and writing and maths and everything has
been a bit shye lately. Well, promising signs out of Northland.
(05:03):
This was a story up from Friday. And remember the
NZDA are the unions pushed back on structured literacy. This
is where you make this the sound out the words.
You sound out the sounds and then you make the words.
Made sense when I went to school, but it all
changed and it all went up the wazoo. Anyway, Early
findings from Northland positive results for sounding out your words
(05:27):
at least this is term one. The government's brought this in.
Early findings from ero two things to watch for. Half
of teachers report that structured literacy approaches have improved student
engagement a lot. Three quarters of teachers say structured literacy
approaches have improved literacy for most students. That is fantastic. Yes,
(05:49):
it's early days, but it's fantastic news. And who would
have thought because the unions didn't like it, they're going
to have to now maybe they're wrong about charter schools too.
Maybe they are. Twelve minutes after five news talks, there'd
b will get to Ozzie next for the election.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Ryan Bridge on Illly edition, Where's one roof make your
Property Search Simple?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Youth Talk zebby interesting fourteen minutes after five news talks said,
be Singaporeans. They have kept their incumbent too. This is
the PAP Party governed them since nineteen fifty nine. If
you've been to Singapore, you know it is a democracy.
They do have free and fair elections, but there's derrymandering
that goes on. The media is all controlled up the wazoos,
so you wouldn't call it a strict democracy in the
(06:34):
way that we know it. But anyway, they've kept their
lot and romania while you know Australia and Canada running
a mile from Trump, Romania running towards him. This is Simeon.
He's the thirty eight year old says he's a natural
ally of Trump. He liked Trump and like Vance, don't
like support for Ukraine. He borders Ukraine anyway. He's having
a second round of voting. Looks like he'll get through too.
(06:56):
It is quarter past five, Rayan Bridge, so Elbow's done it.
First Labor prime minister since Hawk to go back to
back today.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
The Australian people have voted for Australian values, for fairness,
aspiration and opportunity for all.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
And he gets a bigger majority, which means that you
gave Paul we told you about on Friday was pretty
much on the money. The trivia on the opposition benches grim.
No federal opposition leader has lost their electric seat during
an Australian election general election until Dutton lost his at
the weekend. Leslie Yeomans, Australia correspondent, Good.
Speaker 8 (07:38):
Morning, Good morning Ryan.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
It's never one thing that loses you an election or
wins it was it uncertainty about Trump was dust and
crap on the campaign trail. I mean I don't get
the sense that this was we love elbow. Was it? No?
Speaker 9 (07:55):
And you're right, there wasn't one thing. The Liberals were
pretty crap on the campaign trail, putting it bluntly. Look,
there's never ever really one thing that the whole electorate,
the whole voting population votes for a reason.
Speaker 8 (08:16):
The Liberals just had a.
Speaker 9 (08:18):
Really bad campaign and people didn't like Peter Dutton as
a possible prime minister, and the fact that he lost
his seat like John Howard did. John Howard lost his
seat back in and was it keven O seven two
thousand and seven, wasn't it? John Howard lost his seat.
Tony Abbott lost his seat eventually, So now Dutton's lost
(08:40):
his and he's lost it to a woman by the
name of Ali France, and it was her third time
going up against him in his seat Queensland Seed of Dixon.
She was just just kept eating away at his small
majority and got there in the end. And not just
(09:01):
though every state went towards labor, and one of the
comments on Saturday night was that Victoria is generally a
very labor state. It's one of the most progressive states
in the country, and Victoria was lagging behind because it
wasn't as far ahead showing the swing to labor as
(09:23):
everyone else. It was sort of like very very funny
to watch, to be honest. But now in Victoria, even
labor there has It's gone from no liberal MPs in
city at all in any of the metropolitan areas. Same
with South Australia. In Tasmania they had two liberal MPs
(09:45):
down there. They lost both of those. So all of
Tasmania is now labor except for one seat, and that's
in Hobart where there is an independent who was a
long standing independent in Hobart. Every state has gone red
to labor and and it's it's been just a pretty
amazing sort of thing. You know, when some of the
polls were saying that there was a possibility of a
(10:07):
labor minority government or even a liberal win or it
just went hold my beer, not now we're going, We're
going all the way.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Great, great analysis of it. Leslie, really appreciate that. This morning,
Leslie Oman's our Australia correspondent. I've got a few thoughts
on this. I've getten to you before half pass next.
Andrew Alison, with all of that beautiful sport from the weekend, the.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
News you need this morning and the in depth analysis
early edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof make your
Property search Simple News Talks.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
It'd be five twenty one, News Talk said be due
to Collins here before six Andrew Alison was sport. Good morning,
Greeting's right, I haven't seen you in a while.
Speaker 10 (10:48):
Yeah, I just had the autumnal break.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Lovely nice way nice, thanks very much.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Ron.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Hey, Warrior is doing really well?
Speaker 10 (10:56):
Oh is there a team in world sport that takes
you on a high and you know, troughs and peaks
more than the Warriors. I watched that game, or at
least the second half of it on the weekend and
against the Cowboy is the four point win, but gee,
what they're up twenty eight to twelve at halftime, I think,
and yeah, cursing them one minute and cheering them the next,
that really is.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Quite the ride.
Speaker 10 (11:18):
And they got their end. Have moved now to well
they would temporarily top of the table, but with the
Bulldogs winning again, so they've moved out sixteen points. So
the Warriors fourteenth and third on points differential.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Fantastic. We'll keep that up, won't meet lawson named Lawson
got some funny weekend for him too. But he will
start fifteen Miami. He will of course the sprint race.
Speaker 10 (11:39):
The controversy there Fernando Alonso the turn eleven, turn twelve,
I think Lawson was a head and twelve, but he
needed to give a loonzo room. So he's penalized and
lost his points in the sprint. But you will see
what he can do in the longer version today. But yeah,
it's a frustrating time it seems to be for Leam Lawson,
(11:59):
just with race symbols and what they're doing. And I
mean I think if he was just able to get
some points that would really help his confidence and world
team's confidence, I think leading into the rest of the sea.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
I see they were looking at taking swearing off the
off the hot minks because it's causing a bit of
a controversy. Surely there's a way of AI to to
do this, to auto edit out. Yeah yeah, I mean
who can argue with it.
Speaker 10 (12:23):
I mean, if one's swearing to it would be be
philly billy chocole, wouldn't it.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
But it's stupid. If you want to get the netty
gritty the inside, this is.
Speaker 10 (12:32):
What it is all you're doing absolutely And the thing
is that when you're driving at three k's an hour
and your life's on the line, Yeah, I could cursing
here and.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
There is fire truck. No, not quite going to cut it?
Cut it? Hey? Is that tong leading Mark Williams? This
is the snooky in Sheffield.
Speaker 10 (12:53):
Oh, this is always one of the highlights of my year. Anyway,
on the bays at the Crucible Theater. It's come to
the climax this morning, Ryan. So we've got yeah Jintower
up against Williams. Of course he's not looking to become the
first Chinese winner of the event. And Williams he's already
a three time champion, but he would be the oldest
(13:14):
winner at fifty and there's an age gap of twenty
two years there between the two of them. But the
best in the competition so far. So we'll wait, you know,
with great excitement to see what happens there.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
We will look forward to your.
Speaker 10 (13:27):
Starting again sixth the next phase of it. It goes
over two days, but best of thirty five frames. Yes,
so Jinta Al is up by seven frames to.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
What brilliant Great to see you again all lovely doing
it all again. Next week Andrew I bought twenty four
after five News Talks there B. What are all of
these election results around the world mean for us here
in New Zealand.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
That's next the early edition full the Show podcast on
iHeartRadio powered by News Talks.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
It be news Talks B. It is twenty six minutes
after five. No doubt Donald Trump's brand is dicey at
best at home, but globally. In term one of Donald Trump,
the world watched on with a mix of kind of
amusement and feigned concern. Term two is very different. These
results out of Canada and Australia at the weekend show,
(14:14):
the brand is turned toxic. Like a beef Wellington at
a family dinner party. We've all seen the host, the
chef tucking in, but we're thinking, hmm, do we want
to do the same. We can't get much closer in
Styalin substance to Canada and Australia when it comes to democracy.
Both chained to the Westminster system we inherited from other England,
and both of our cousins have turned on their political
(14:36):
oppositions as Trump up ends the global order to rub
salt in the wornd. For both Polliev and Dutton. They
lost their seats as well as their elections. We spoke
about this on Friday, But what is the message here?
Trump is toxic. Pollier's problem was one of style. He
sounded and campaigned too much like Trump, the airport hangar
(14:57):
with the branded plane behind him, the show on the
nightly news. People didn't like that. Dutton's problem was more complicated. First,
he ran a crap campaign, realizing a defense force plan
so expensive against funding to three percent of GDP, I
mean we can't take on Elbow's tax cuts and a
cost of living crisis, and then only releasing that plan
(15:18):
two weeks out from a campaign was done, But it
was also about the word economists are spitting out like
a bad stake at the moment, uncertainty. Don't ask Luxon,
though he gave a bizarre response when asked about this yesterday.
Have a listen.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
What you're seeing is in Singapore, Canada, Australia, the public
voting for governments that have their eyes on the right
things and the right things. For us is to make
sure we don't take our eyes off the economic growth.
That's why if we say growth, growth, growth, we keep
talking economics and rebuilding the economy from day one.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
That's important. A weird thing to say. Basically, the Aussies
in the Canadians simply picked the most economically credible parties
in the face of uncertain times. What those parties he's
endorsing are both from the left. That's the equivalent of
kicking his sister parties, the Aussie Libs and the Canadian Conservatives,
(16:10):
right in the shins when they're down. It made no sense.
I think you wanted to avoid mentioning the Trump bump.
Maybe what's actually happening here is not really about parties.
In times of uncertainty, you don't change your horse. Mid
Stream voters stick with what they know. When the world
is in a spin, you don't know up from down.
(16:31):
Human nature, for the most part is to do nothing
and hope it goes away. Why risk a new government
of unknown quantity. Singapore arguably just done the same. The counterfaction,
of course, is obviously America. But remember the American economy
was actually growing for the past few years, consumer spending
was strong, inflation had come down earlier than ours. So
(16:52):
that's a different set of circumstances as to why they
went for Trump. The best comparison for what's happened in
Australia and Canada in the past week is twenty twenty
New Zealand. A bunch of people really worried about a
perceived global threat, rallying around the flagpole and rejecting a
campaign that was neither well run nor nailing the public mood,
which Judith Collins disastrous twenty twenty attempt didn't whether it
(17:16):
was Trump worried reaction to him. For Luxeon to attribute
the fiscal credentials of left wing parties abroad with their
success was an unnecessary own goal.
Speaker 9 (17:30):
Bredge Breach.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
You're on News TALKSB. It is twenty nine minutes after five,
the first.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Word on the News of the Day Early edition with
Ryan Bridge and one Room to make your property Surgeon
Symbol News Talks B.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Good morning, while you see Monday twenty four away from
six News Talks THEB. We're going to get to Judith
Collins on defense before six. Also Gavin Gray in the
UK for US this morning, Ryan Interest analysis on the elections.
That's the Canadian and Australian the weekend. Perhaps the difference
between Canada, Australia and New Zealand is that the National
Party here, isn't remotely trump pest. I think that's the truth,
(18:12):
isn't it. We've got Winston for that, haven't we. And
that was on full display at that announcement, which we'll
talk to Due Toth Collins about later on in the show.
That was on full display at the announcement at for
Nolpai yesterday. Interesting story this morning about Buddha and his
sacred jewels. So when he died, he was apparently buried
with a whole bunch of dazzling a cache of dazzling jewels,
(18:34):
and in the eighteen hundred someone dug them up. They
have found their way into a private collection. Some brit
owns them, and now they're going up for auction. Southby's
Hong Kong is going to auction them. Now there is
an ethical debate going on, you can imagine, because they're
Buddha's jewels, and should you be seen should somebody be
(18:55):
selling and profiting off Buddha's jewels? I wonder why Buddha
had jewels in the first place. Aren't they meant to
be sort of you know, not materialistic? Isn't that or
letting go of material Maybe they should be sold because
Finally you are releasing him of his material trappings. There
you go. It is twenty three away from six Ryan
(19:16):
Chalum Procter and needing for us this morning calm labors
making noise about Needing Hospitals Intensive Care Unit. Yeah.
Speaker 11 (19:25):
Look, Health New Zealand has confirmed here the number of
ICU beds for our new hospitals decrease from thirty which
was originally planned, to twenty now for the opening, with
the option to expand it over time. Some have reacted
naturally with concern about this proposal, but our mayor here,
Jie's Radick, says, look, he's comfortable.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
With the plant as it stands.
Speaker 11 (19:44):
He says he's had word directly from the Health Minister
that this new hospital project is on track and twenty
beds is sufficient for our region's needs to begin with.
And Radick also says it's important to remember the final
fit out decisions will be made in five years time.
He also says a tender is due out this week
for a concrete or to finally start building the foundations.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Brilliant callum, how's your weather?
Speaker 11 (20:10):
But a morning fom but then a fine day today
at a good week ahead like whin sixteen, the high
excellent and.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Christ Church clears with us clear, good morning, good morning.
Now people are getting a first glimpse at the new stadium.
Speaker 12 (20:21):
They are indeed, look twenty people too at the new
Stadium Takaha yesterday after being drawn from a hat of
more than sixteen hundred applicants. This was part of the
open christ Church Festival railing. Palmer was one of them
who was there to look around to the new stadium.
She actually was brought to tears as I spoke to
her during that tour. We were standing on the concourse
looking out across the field of play at the time.
(20:44):
She says, this really feels like a new era for
christ Church and Cantabrian's. It feels like it's the icing
on the cake of our rebuild. I also spoke with
the guy Steve Moore. He's been our Crusaders season ticket
holder since the day the temporary stadium opened. He said
he couldn't believe he was one of the lucky ones
and says he was completely blown away after several sleepless,
(21:05):
sleepless nights from excitement.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
It's very exciting. I mean even I'm excited up here.
I want to come to the opening, whatever the opening is,
I want to be there. Clear you had to get
me a tech out a cake. I'll see you there now.
Speaker 12 (21:16):
The weather mainly fine today, bit frosty to start though
northeasterly is developing and a higher fifteen.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Max toll in Wellington. Good morning Max, Good morning Palmerston
North looking at sugary drinks bands. Yeah, this is.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
A proposal to go before the Palmerston North City Council
on Wednesday, looking at banning sugary drinks at the council
on venues. The mayor there though at Grant Smith he's
told Aarons that he believes this is an overreach. He's
warning alcohol could be next. It makes the city unattractive,
I was about to say more unattractive. Public submissions generally
(21:50):
against this as well. It's part of the Council's proposed
health promotion policy, which also includes being smoke free vaatee
free outdoors as well. Energy drink flavored milk cordial also
included in this proposed ban. I'd imagine tap water might
be the only item on the menu at Arena Manawatu.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
If this goes through. Honestly, just stories like this make
my blood boiled. Just ban everything, That's why I picked it. Yeah,
it's Monday morning. You're most prone to a heart attack
on a Monday morning. Don't do this to me. What's next?
Thing about? You know? Stop ban breathing, moving, you know,
because you breathe that cabin dark. So I don't know what.
Just bear it to the environment. So everyone, when you
(22:29):
go to a stadium in Palmerston, North, no breathing, no moving,
no drinking, no toilet weather.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Yeah fine, Northerly's fourteen the High Central, thank you.
Speaker 13 (22:42):
It'll be no talking next.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
No talking That would kill me. No, there would be
no Neva without a constant stream of consciousness. Hey, this
is a really sad stream of this is everyone will
know about this around the country. But the American pH
student who was killed a couple of weeks ago in
meadow Bank at that bus stop. Yeah, and there's a
(23:05):
sort of a memorial happening.
Speaker 13 (23:07):
Yes, and that's happening today. So the meadow Bank community
will be gathering today. Now look about fifty people, including
Kyle Warrel's mother. They held a silent auction. This happened
yesterday to raise money. So today what they're doing is
that they're gathering at Saint John's Bush and they're going
to plant a Bahutah cowa try which is lovely in
honor of Kyle Warrel. And as we know, we've got
(23:28):
a sixteen year old male he's being charged with murder
aggravated robbery. Also a thirty two year old woman has
been charged with being an accessory after the fact of murder,
So that.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Will case closely. How's the weather today.
Speaker 13 (23:41):
Morning cloud? Then find today's high eighteen call and Chris Mornings.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Yay, excellent. If everyone's talking about dust and being baled
and that's a problem, do you think bald been a
bald man?
Speaker 13 (23:51):
I don't have a problem with this. I mean I'm
not seeing a bald man, so that's what.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Did do you have a problem with?
Speaker 13 (23:58):
No, No, I'm just saying, you know how some people
were kind of you know, men and women are kind
of attracted to bald people.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
So some people actually like it.
Speaker 14 (24:05):
Did they like it?
Speaker 7 (24:06):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (24:07):
I don't know that.
Speaker 13 (24:08):
Yeah, that's what I've heard right out there in the
news room from one or two people.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Do you know I went to buy a shaver at
the weekend. Well I did buy a new shaver, right
because the old one was cutting me. But can you
tell me?
Speaker 13 (24:20):
I can actually now.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
I've made a massive error.
Speaker 13 (24:23):
You've taken quite a bit off your bed.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
It's nearly all gone. Yes, So the number you know
you got your one, two, three, four. The numbers are
different for different brands. Oh, I went with the same number.
So what was your number? Number two?
Speaker 13 (24:37):
Number two?
Speaker 2 (24:38):
And it's come up like a number one. There's barely anything.
Let that's right?
Speaker 13 (24:41):
Actually now that I'm really focusing on your face because
I usually don't focus on your face when I come in.
But yeah, oh I need to take a photo.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
It's breaking up, basically, Peter Dustin on my face, Neva,
thank you, loving to see you. Happy Monday. Seventeen away
from six.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
National Correspondence with ends Inn Eye Insurance, Peace of Mind
for New Zealand Business.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Fourteen away from Sex News Talk to here, be able
get a due to Collins and a second Right now
Gavin Gray in the UK for US givin Good Morning,
Hither are now eight men arrested over a suspected TIRA
plot involving a target, A specific target? Do we know
what it was?
Speaker 14 (25:22):
No, we're not being told that. We do know that
of the eight seven are Iranian nationals. Now, it's a
combination of two different police operations going on around the UK,
a gang of three, it said, being arrested in and
around London, but also five others arrested at various locations
around England. Part they're saying of a pre planned investigation
(25:45):
into an alleged plot too, as you said, target a
specific premises. Now, all five who were arrested around the
country were arrested on suspicion appropriation of an act of
terrorism in the second operation, and the three men aged
between thirty nine and fifty five were arrested under the
National Security Act at different addresses. What's interesting about this, Ryan,
(26:08):
you might think, well, Iranian nationals in the UK. Well,
that is a common thread to what's going on here,
because just last year, the director general of mi I
five said his organization and police have responded to twenty
Iran backed plots presenting potentially lethal threats to British citizens
in UK residents since January of twenty twenty two, So
twenty plots over a period of just over two and
(26:30):
a half years. When he said that, and that I
think goes some way to show you just where mi
I five is getting so busy.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Absolutely, Now, what's the problem with your heating or potential
problem with your heating.
Speaker 14 (26:41):
Yeah, So, in the nineteen eighties, meters were fitted to
effectively switch between peak and off peak use of electricity,
because of course off peak is cheaper. However, these so
called RTS Radio Teleswitching system meters were replaced a bench
by smart meters, although frankly many people don't trust those
(27:03):
in their home either. Anyway, this old technology is going
to be switched off on the thirtieth of June, but
it's estimated by some in the industry that there are
still four hundred and thirty thousand households using RTS meters
for their heating and hot water, and only one thousand
are being replaced each day. So by doing the maths,
thinking this has to be done by the thirtieth of June,
(27:24):
there's simply going to be nowhere near hitting the number
of households that they need to do in order to
get these people's monitors basically updated. And they're saying there
is a very real risk that once this system is
switched off, this long wave radio frequency system, then that
could mean that people are left without hot water or heating.
(27:45):
It is our summer, so that should be okay, but
it's going to be pretty inconvenient for many people.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
All right, Gevin, good to have you on. Gevin Gray
are UK correspondent for your Monday morning and living away from.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Six Bryan Bridge, shoot of.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Collins out on the time achert Phenopai. Yes, they are
Sonorri they were a har here. I think I'll have
to clarify with her when she comes on. She's here now.
Money has been put aside for the Defense Force to
go shopping for five new c Sprite helicopters. Two billion
dollars set aside, plus a billion over four years on
other stuff. Personnel will get better digs, they'll do longer
(28:17):
deployments around the world, and they will do more of them.
Minister's here, good morning.
Speaker 8 (28:22):
Oh, good morning Ryan. And that's a new pin, a
new pie.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
It was now look great announcement. I'm sure it will
be welcomed by those who by the troops. But is
it is it an announcement about an announcement? I mean
we haven't even got a case through cabinet yet. We've
got no contracts sign we've got no procurement register, no funding.
Really approved. Just set aside, what was it?
Speaker 8 (28:47):
Well, set aside. It's an announcement to say to people
and those that we are looking to procure from, we've
got the money and we're about to put out the
tenders basically, and so yes, it's actually a very big announcement.
And then the other thing is the extra almost billion
(29:07):
dollars over the next four years for operational reasons. So
it's a big announcement. We're very excited about it. And
our defense force person that I've got to say, are
absolutely Cockahoo faverage.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
I can imagine the billion dollars is big. We'll get
to that in a second. But why does it need
so that the seas right, helicopter's right, you come out.
You see we've got two billion bucks. We want them,
we want five of them. Why do you then need
to go away? Do they have to go away into
a business case to cabinet? Is that a waste of time?
Given you've said that you know the the financials and
(29:41):
the number.
Speaker 8 (29:43):
It's just the normal processes and government and the reason
there's and I you know, I think it's really important
to understand this is big bucks, it's tax money, and
we always do this. So we always go into a
business case as to why, and then we come up
with the options for procurement. But the reason for that is,
(30:03):
I mean, we're not announcing this without knowing we're going
to do it, But you do need to be able
to put the work in to say, nobody wants to
have another purchase back in early two thousands of another
one hundred and something labs. Nobody wants to have that
sort of thing happening, and we haven't. We've had really
good procurement in the last decade or so, so we
(30:23):
need to make sure we continue down that pathway.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
This extra billion you're giving, do you expect our soldiers,
our front line, we'll get a pay rise out of this.
Speaker 8 (30:33):
Oh I'm not going to talk about that because that's
the Chief of Defense Forces.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
But what it means, well.
Speaker 8 (30:41):
My expectation is that we've had some quite big pay
rises last year around remuneration. So when people say, oh,
there's been no that's not true. But actually every time
our people go on deployment, they get a benefit from that,
so they get extra money from that too. So they
want to be up deployment and I want to be
sitting at home fighting over remote control. They want to
(31:03):
be out there representing their country. But it does mean
is that they'll have better places to live in that
there'll be better investment in their work they're training, but
also more staff. That's also part of it. So you know,
it's quite a substantial thing. And frankly, after thirty five
(31:25):
years with a couple of years where that it wasn't true,
thirty five years of underspending, cutting and just basically raping
and pillaging of our defense force assets, this is a
huge turnaround.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
More missions, longer missions, further missions. Great. They will love this,
and I know it's on an operational issue for them
to decide. But do you expect we will see more patrols,
more involvement in drills in the South China Sea, more
like you know, the Valiant Shield exercise of the US,
more of that stuff.
Speaker 8 (31:55):
I think you're going to see more of a lot
more So. Our people have been in Bahrain, they've been
doing things around the Red Sea, They've been everywhere, and
they're sitting around the Indian Ocean. They're working with the
Indian Navy as well on interdictions around massive drug classicking,
(32:17):
heroine and those sorts of things. So you know, you're
just going to see more of them. But also the
big thing for them is that's what they join for.
And I think you know too, is that some of
this we've got critical estate managed maintenance of twenty six million,
one hundred and four million of over four years. I mean,
that's enormous, but the reason is because nothing's been done
(32:39):
for a very long time.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Winston says we need to get two percent faster. Do
you agree with them?
Speaker 8 (32:44):
Yeah, I know, Well we've said that if we can,
we will, and we've also said two is that the.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
If you want at Winston once, who's the whole up,
the whole.
Speaker 8 (32:57):
Upper we need to we need to actually have the
economy growing so we can do that. But the other
thing is every two years we'll check in. We're called
them that this is a floor, not a ceiling, and
if we can get faster, we will. But you can't
do it without the personnel and that's part of what
we're doing here.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
We appreciate your time. Defense Minister Tutith Collins News Talk said.
