Speaker 1 (00:00):
The issues, the interviews and the insight. Ryan Bridge on
early edition with Spark for Business Technology that keeps business moving.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
News Talks, they'd be good morning.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
And welcome to a short week.
Speaker 4 (00:11):
In a six a half to five you're on news Talks,
there'd be we'll speak to Nathan Guy top of the
r on the trade deals that National is gunning for,
Gavin to the UK for US, if Vicky Price brings
the business, and we'll look at that rather exciting game
of rugby on Saturday. The agenda is Monday, the sixth
of July, Mass of fireworks, big party in America as
they turned two hundred and fifty.
Speaker 5 (00:31):
We rebuilt our military in my first term. We use
it a little bit in our actually I should say
third term, but I won't do that because I don't
want any controversy. But we use it and we've had
tremendous success. You look at Venezuela, you look at Iran.
We wiped it out, wiped out their military.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Speaking of roundas for a second, had the funeral for harmony,
although his body is going to Line State until next
Thursday and then he gets better.
Speaker 6 (00:59):
I regret to a lot why I didn't come to
see the leader when he was alive. I should have
discovered him much earlier.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
I learnt too late.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Now the guy who wants to be the Leader of
the UK, not Burnham but Farage, Well he's in a
bit of trouble excepting donations. This time he didn't declare
having his staff, his security and his housing paid for
by a convicted criminals. Some kind of crypto aristocrat. Reform
spokesman says there's nothing to see here.
Speaker 7 (01:27):
George Cottrell is an old friend of Nigel Frag's. He
did give support to Nigel before he was a member
of parliament. He hasn't done so since he became a
member of parliament. No rules have been broken whatsoever.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Fair enough, they're all buddies, old chums. Finally to the
World Cup. Two games today eight am Brazil and Norway
and then mid day's England and Mexico. The poor old
English players have had a night of fireworks. They've had
mariachi bands, they've had singing, they've had all sorts outside
their hotel. Yeah, try to keep secret the location of
(02:11):
the hotel where the English players staying didn't work. They
got this.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Hear it first.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Bryan Bridge on early edition with Spark for Business Technology
that Keith's Business Moving News talks.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
They'd be late to have your company this morning. So
Asb's quarterly economic forecast, you would have heard Neva in
the news. Things are looking up because the price of
will has basically gone through the float, well compared to
where it was, it's gone essentially gone back to where
it was. I filled up the car on Saturday, I
think it was two eighty nine was the special price
for ninety one, So that you go come right down
(02:48):
from where it was and falling, probably going to fall further,
all you know, fingers crossed and all hoping in the strait.
But what's happening on Wednesday this week is the reive
So that is good news. Yes, it looks like, you know,
prizes are starting to stabilize the economy and the rebound
thing can happen again. Wednesday we get an OCR decision,
(03:09):
and this one's going to be interesting because remember we
had a pause, well we continued the pause last time
that the fourth consecutive meeting where they held and the
bank economists on this one are now split. So what
happens on Wednesday will be quite interesting. So we're at
two point twenty five percent. We've been there since November
last year. And remember the last vote was the split one,
(03:30):
and you might think, well, if they were split, remember
it was the internals versus the externals, those who members
who are part of the Reserve Bank versus those who
come on board for the meetings, you might think, well,
because it was split, we will again, we will likely
see a hike. And that's what some half the bank
economists think will happen. Inflation is at three point one percent.
(03:51):
And the thing about the oil is important because it
means that inflation won't peak at the same level that
it probably was going to if oil keept going north. Right.
But what this is, and this is Sharon Zolder from Ains.
She's made this comment which is sort of the only
interesting thing I could see about it that last time
there was no hike, but they were quite hawkish in tone,
(04:14):
because there's what they do, and then there's what they say,
So no hike, but they were hawkish saying basically next
time or you know soon, we will do it. So
if they do that again and they say, well, no hike,
but we'll do it next time, and do you lose
a bit of credibility. That's the question.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
News Talks EDB.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
It's ten up for five. Coming up next, we'll talk
about Rugger Adam Cooper with US Live the Early edition Full.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
The show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News Talks at
B on your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early Edition
with Ryan Bridge and Spark for Business Technology that keeps
Business Moving.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
News Talks EDB five thirteen. Burn him over in the
UK soon to be British prime ministers being warned by
an old stallwart. It's Tony Blair.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
You know.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Tony Blair has a think tank and he labour right.
Of three elections did he win. He's come out the
think tank has come out and said, hey, can you
just take it easy on tax? Because Burnham's done an
interview with the LBC over in London and suggested that
there was room to move on tax. And so Tony
Bleier's think tank has said you cannot tax your way
(05:23):
to prosperity. Well, this is a revelation, He's also said,
because he's potentially looking at capital gains tax. So at
the moment, if you pay a capital gains tax on
like a second home or on shares, you will pay
anywhere from eighteen to twenty four percent. Now, what Burnham
is apparently looking at doing is aligning the capital gains
(05:43):
tax rate with the three income tax bands twenty percent,
forty percent and forty five percent, So you would go
from paying up to twenty four percent to paying up
to forty five percent on your capital game. Now, this
is the line Britain was desperate for long term investment
(06:04):
in businesses and technologies entrepreneurs need. This is the Tony
Blair Foundation. Entrepreneurs apparently need an economy that rewards them
for taking risks and building businesses in Britain, So taxing
like that would be a very bad idea for the past.
So the AB's beat the French and christ Church Dave
Rennie was relieved, one of the debutantes apparently so nervously
(06:26):
spewed up in the changing rooms before the game. But
the real headline was excellent and compelling game of rugby
enjoyed by all who watched in christ Church. Adam Cooper,
host of All Sport, Breakfast and Wellington with Us this morning, Adam,
good morning morning, Ryan. Wasn't it great?
Speaker 8 (06:40):
It was a great contest and I think you know
just you look at rugby at the moments in general.
We saw that game also from Australia and Sydney between
the Wallabies and Ireland. Of course, Ireland are coming here
to face All Blacks next week. You know, rugby at
the moment is really sort of developing into contests where
with fast, open play, quick ball speed, a lot of
which we saw from the All Blacks on Saturday night. Yes,
(07:02):
it wasn't perfect, it wasn't necessarily dominant by them, but
I think definitely encouraging signs of the intent this team
is playing with the opportunities they're creating and a real
fight I thought, both on attack and defense to eventually
get that win. But it was it was tight for
the best part of the whole game, wasn't it.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
It was tight the first two minutes. It was a
nail biter. We had Love off and we had conceded
a try with and I think the first two minutes
and twenty five seconds, yeah, off on the back foot.
Speaker 8 (07:29):
But I think it's how they responded to that, and
especially Ruben Love in his first start in that number
ten jersey for the All Blacks. You know the fact
that he was able to come back on almost immediately
after his ten minutes on the sideline, and almost if
anyone tuned into that game after he came back on,
you wouldn't have thought he was had been out of
the game for that ten minutes. He didn't let it
(07:50):
affect him. He sort of was able to hit the
reset button and I thought, create some good opportunities again.
And Dave Renny the coaches acknowledged in a lot of
perfect performance by Rubin Love at anything. But I think
he's done enough, certainly to get another chance at his
home ground, Wellington this weekend to take on Italy. I
don't think you can critique his performance in game one
of a new season too much at all.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
And has Rennie said to the team just don't worry
about kicking it so much?
Speaker 8 (08:15):
Well again, I think it's just down to what I
mentioned before about the type of rugby you need to
play now to beat teams.
Speaker 9 (08:21):
The kicking game.
Speaker 8 (08:21):
I think it's fair to say has it necessarily worked
for a lot of teams in world rugby of late,
and it was quite encouraging I thought to see that
the lack of kicks coming from the All Blacks for territory,
they relied on their quick play. They're attacking line speed
a lot more, which I think definitely gave them some
great opportunities. I mean, you look at the way that
cam Royguard can find gaps, pull off dummies, dart through
(08:43):
defenders and things like that. That's clearly a sign of
how this All Blacks team feel that they are going
to win games and be competitive with many teams this year.
So yeah, encouraging and I think from a viewership perspective,
the lack of kicking was certainly welcomed.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
On Saturday, Adam Cooper five to seven teams they'd be
I am so Donald Tesss. This is the Prime minister
over in Poland. He has said we are preparing. Don't panic,
but we are preparing for the Russians coming at us
in the next months. Now that's kind of loosely defined,
but you might have seen over the weekend there's a
couple of stories, one published by the Telegraph in the
(09:17):
UK and it's citing people spies out of Washington who
reckon that the Russians are planning to test NATO's resolve
by just dipping their toe over the line into the water.
In Poland, as opposed to Ukraine, they will either target missiles,
(09:38):
drones even potentially send soldiers over the water into This
is a NATO state we're talking about, so head infrastructure,
maybe with some missiles, maybe fire some drones, just test
the waters and see how they react and see what
impact it has on Ukraine if they were to give
it a try. So this is what the Americans are
telling the Polish and the Polish of them if we're
(10:00):
preparing for There is a big summit, NATO summit in
Turkey this week, by the way, and Chris Pink is
our guy going there because of the window four. That's
Australia Career, Japan and US. So Chris Pink will be
there for that. Eighteen minutes after five News Talk said
B the Early Edition.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Full show podcast on IART Radio, how It By News
Talks at B.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Before the news breaks.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Here it first Ryan Bridge on Early Edition with Spark
for business Technology that keeps business moving News Talks at
B five twenty.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Great to have your company this morning. Flip me a text.
Nine two nine two is the number. It was raining well,
I mean for about an hour it was bucketing down
in Auckland last night and you know what, we actually
got me out of bed to the point where I
got out and had to look out the window and
turn the light on just to see if it was
I don't know if the house was floating. You know,
(10:51):
it was quite heavy and in Dunedin apparently you have
had a lot of rain overnight as well. Flicked me
and texted we know how it's going. Nine two nine
twenty one.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
After five Bryan Bridge.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Becky Price with the Business Vicky, good morning.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Good morning. I'm talking to you from England, of course,
where we're having a heat wave.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Yeah, how hot is it were you are?
Speaker 6 (11:11):
Well, it's over thirty degrees and that is considered very
very hot in London and that's where we are. Maybe
possibly thirty two to thirty four.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
But yes, and you don't second.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
Round or third round.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Yeah, and you don't have any ear CONDI you vecky.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
Nope, no, other houses weren't built for that. It was
never anticipated it would be so hot.
Speaker 8 (11:29):
So there we go.
Speaker 6 (11:30):
Yes, everyone is complaining, but I think it's wonderful.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Well, I mean some people, though, I suppose you're included.
Good on you. I wish you will the best for that.
Now tell us how is Andy Burnham. We've spoken a
lot about him in the last few weeks and he's
made a lot of promises, devolution being one of them.
How is it all going to be financed?
Speaker 6 (11:49):
It's a very good question. Of course, we are likely
to have him as our Prime minister in the UK
or by the twentieth of July, which is actually quite rapid.
The question is what is he going to do after
and we have the summer coming and the holidays, but
there is an awful lot of work that needs to
be done to see you know how businesses and others
are going to be satisfied that the extra spending he
(12:11):
needs to do and his promise is going to be
involved in doesn't simply get funded by just raising taxes,
and that's going to be a serious series concern that
everyone has. Look at defense, that's one of the major
areas that requires extra attention. We've just headed Defense Investment
Plan which has been published by the current Prime Ministers
(12:32):
O Kistama. It still has a gap of five billion
that needs to be found five billion pounds and even
the ten billion that's been found extra for the next
three years comes from cutting capital spending in other areas.
They're all screaming whether it's the Health Service, We're not
going to be improving hospitals. Whether it's the Education Department,
(12:54):
we're not going to be improving schools. So there's a
lot of concern as to where some of the money
will come from and whether the rest of the stuff
that Andy Burnham may want to do, including changing the
structure between London and the rest and allowing an awful
lot more development happening elsewhere, is going to have enough
money allocated to it.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Now. The inflation issue in Europe is actually quite a
sharp drop from May to June for the Euro Area.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
Yes, it's a real surprise because the inflation has gone
down to two point eight percent. I mean that's quite
close to the target, which is two percent. So we've
seen inflation come down from slightly over three to two
point eight. It was not expected. And the interesting thing
is when you look at some of the details. I mean,
there's no doubt that energy is still an issue. So
it's rising, So prices of energy are higher than the
(13:46):
way a year ago, but there are nearly nine percent
higher than ten percent that was the case in the
previous month. But where the declines are happening is in inflation.
It's not so much that prices are necessarily falling. But
where the declines inflation are happening have been in areas
like food, which is again not expected. We've seen that
happen in the UK else as well, and industrial goods.
(14:09):
So companies are just not passing costs through even though
obviously the costs have increased. And you also see that
a little bit in the service sector, where again you've
seen a slow down in inflation. So people are understanding.
I think that the consumer is stretched and stressed and
therefore are being very very careful as to you know,
(14:29):
piling on extra prices on their goods, because otherwise the
consumer is going to gone strike. And I think that's
what they're fearing.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Yeah, exactly. You appreciate that. Updoate Vicky Price. Our business
Corresponding twenty four after five silence is run and there's
a mother of all thunderstorms at Mount Monganery at the moment.
Another s is the heat wave. What a scam over
in Europe. I was over there recently and I can
tell you it's not a scam and the problem is
so much concrete and there's no like heat needs to
go somewhere to dissipate and there's just concrete upon con
(15:00):
create upon cobblestone. It doesn't there's no where for it
to escape. It's a it's a hell on earth. Don't go.
It's my advolved. Don't go on peak season anyway, that
would be worse. Hey, national's on a bit of a
trade blitz. Will speak to Nathan Guy, a former minister,
about that. Just before six this morning, you're on news Talk,
said B five twenty seven. News Talk said, be a
big weekend of events. We had a wedding, we had
(15:22):
a funeral, and we had a massive anniversary bash. Congratulations
to America, to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey, to Iranians
who lived under and were persecuted by the Ayatola, and
Rugby in that order. If eighteen forty is the start
line of our democracy, and I know some don't think
it is, America is not actually that much older, all
growing up than us. And speaking of that, Trump's speech
(15:45):
describing the declaration of independence as the single greatest achievement
in human history was perhaps a little over the top,
not unlike Trump, but also not to be scoffed at entirely.
They enjoy many freedoms as we do that most of
the the world just does not, and we forget about this. Elections, protest,
assembly speech. Yes, these are tested from time to time,
(16:07):
but you cannot deny the fact that America is one
of the most liberal and freely expressive states in the
world and in all of human history. Freedom house tracks democracies,
they reckon. Just twenty one percent of the world's population
today actually live in a free society and a democracy,
and it's been tracking down for decades because you have
(16:29):
military cups, you have conflicts, you have power grabs. In Africa,
nine countries have had successful coups since twenty nineteen, since
COVID crazy. We don't know how good we've got it
until it's gone, and that's the problem. And two hundred
and fifty years without one is worth celebrating without saying
it's been perfect. No country is. Freedom feels good when
(16:49):
you can enjoy it, as Taytay and Travis clearly did
on the weekend. Congratulations to them. Here we enjoy rugby
and we beat the French and in around the weekend's
pictures showed morning and tears for the eye are told.
But the truth is it's harder to see. Without a
clearer lens that democracy provides, many in Iran and expats
(17:11):
around the world would have seen his funeral not as
a sad event but cause for celebration. Ryan Bridge twenty
nine after five News Talks FB. So we'll get to
Nathan Guy on trades. Nats want to do more deals.
They're coming off the back of Iran obviously up the
back of India, forgive me slight correction, so they're very
(17:33):
happy with that. Progress looking good and they've got targets
in their sites. Nathan Guy on that. Plus we're live
to London News Talk Set B.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
The Early Edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio. How It
by NEWSTALKSB News and Views you Trust to start your day.
It's Early Edition with Ryan Bridge and Spark, a business
technology that keeps business moving.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
News Talks brow away from.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
You're on News Talks there'd be welcome to your Monday morning.
Great to have your company coming up on the program
and speak to Nathan Guy. Because the Nats are on
a bit of a blitz. Luxon wants FDAs with Brazil
and Argentina. We'll speak to the former minister about that.
We'll also head to the UK for the latest elbow
I crossed the Tasman's in a bit of trouble. Well,
he's trying to do relatable content and the podcast is
(18:35):
the thing and we'll see a lot of it this year. People,
the politicians will go on podcasts and they will. The
podcasts are a bit more friendly and jovial perhaps than
your mainstream media interviews are, and sometimes they can be
good because you see a side of it. You go, oh,
I didn't know that they were like that. I didn't
know that they sort of spoke like that, and it's
not so restrained and restricted. However, sometimes you.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Get this Mary Date, Kylie Minogue, Nicole Kibben.
Speaker 10 (19:03):
Or Ronda Birch Moore.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
I've just got married on many six months in.
Speaker 11 (19:07):
But if it ghost tips up, let's just pretend oh
Kylie clearly in Mary, Kylie and Shagger and Data all
of them bove all right.
Speaker 6 (19:16):
It's a triplet.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
That is a comment from Anthony Albanezi. In case you
missed it, that's the Australian Prime Minister saying that he
would shag to use their words, shag Mary and Date,
Kylie Minogue, Bryan Breed. Seems you probably didn't want to
know anyway, he's getting fat from both sides for it.
Calum Procter and Dnedin for us this morning, Callum, how's
(19:40):
the weather been overnight? Morning?
Speaker 8 (19:43):
Ryan?
Speaker 10 (19:43):
You have been a wet night here.
Speaker 12 (19:45):
A rare red heavy rain warning remains in force for
Danita until tenn in this morning. The heavy or the
rain's been add it's heavy a certainly in the last
couple of hours. Dunedin Civil Defense Bunker was activated yesterday
afternoon and sandbags were made available to residents here and
in Moscle. A number of roads are closed, more and
(20:05):
more closing by the minute, a lot of them in Moscule,
and evacuation is seen to Rhyme's been open there some
residents making use of that. South Dunedin flood protection barriers
have been installed in parts of Southdneda ar coping at
this stage. We're told of some small slips already on
Otago Peninsula. Caution advised there and locals just being on
(20:26):
to stay at home this morning completely and avoid unnecessary travel.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
Ryan.
Speaker 12 (20:30):
We're also hearing that this is affecting North Otago badly,
the rain in the last half hour.
Speaker 10 (20:35):
A state of emergency declared.
Speaker 12 (20:37):
In the WAITUCKI district with a welfare evacuations send to
set up in Amaro as well.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
Okay, good tonight and what did it sound like on
the roof Callum?
Speaker 12 (20:46):
Yes, nasty and just heavier and heavier as the night
went on and as I say, just in the last
hour as forecast the rain has been at its peak,
so authorities concerned here. The met Service stough says things
will improve for Otago through the day as it moves
north onto Marlbreton, Canterbury.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
All right, good stuff, Colum, take care, that's clem into
need and clear and christ Itch morning, Claire, good morning.
Why is the marathon they're getting a makeover?
Speaker 11 (21:12):
Yeah, Chrishchitch Marathon is super popular and has been rising
in popularity with the increase and the popularity around running.
This has prompted some significant changes for the Garden Cities
famously flat and fast course. The forty two point two
kilometer race, which was previously run over four laps of
the CBD, is going to switch to be a two
(21:32):
lap course from April, extending further east into the Red
Zone area and turning that into a racetrack. It comes
as participants have more than doubled over the past three years,
Marathon director Chris Cox says the course was simply too congested.
Faster athletes were getting caught behind slower runners as they
continued to increase their laps. He says, with more than
(21:52):
ten thousand runners expected for twenty twenty seven, they just
had to do something.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
He says.
Speaker 11 (21:57):
The extension will take half and full marathon runners across
Fitzgerald av into the red Zone, down to curz Reach
where our rowers have their regattas, and then back along
the river in order to link back with the old course.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
That people will know.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Okay, how's your weather.
Speaker 11 (22:11):
The rain has started here, will be heavier from this afternoon.
As Callum said, southwesterly is becoming strong. Southeasterly is at
the high eleven degrees, cleared to be morning to best.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Morning, Ryan, you've got numbers from the council on the
nude library.
Speaker 9 (22:25):
Yeah, I mean, after all the issues with opening ceremonies
and library websites, we've got some pretty good news here.
The revamped Central Library, which reopens this or in March
sorry after more than six years back, has officially welcomed
five hundred thousand people.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Through its doors.
Speaker 9 (22:40):
Some more figures for you. Over two hundred and twenty
thousand books have been issued, two three hundred meeting rooms booked,
and almost thirty thousand people using those creative spaces in
the first three months alone. The cafe on the inside
as well, where they say they can't keep up with business,
serving over eight hundred flat whites every week. The owner
of the caf, Sam Huy, says it's been madness and
(23:02):
they've broken their coffee grinders twice trying to keep up,
and their cheese scones when they're flying off the cabinet
so fast that they've started baking twice a day.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Nice. So did so five hundred thousand people in six months?
Speaker 9 (23:15):
Oh yes, in the first since March, so that's five months.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Yeah, okay? And then how much was the website again?
Six hundred thousand dollars six hundred thousand okay, So if
we charged a dollar ahead, we still wouldn't be we
still wouldn't be baking even and it's free, but they've
still got money for cheese scones, which is lovely.
Speaker 9 (23:33):
How's the weather, well, mostly cloudy's strong southerlies this morning,
rain and saw for us this afternoon and twelve degrees
to high and Wellington's on.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Today's thank you and Neva's an all good morning, Nebers.
Speaker 13 (23:43):
I'm just thinking, wow, it's probably you know, we need
to get down there just for a coffee and a
scow twice a day on the scone and the old grinder.
The coffee grinders just like being broken.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Well they might be old, much like the median barriers
on the augn highighway network.
Speaker 13 (24:00):
Oh yes, now look deemed inadequate by coroner investigating a
horrific triple fatal crash. These old barriers. Now they are
going to be replaced by safer and more modern ones,
but they will remain in other parts of the country,
and they will only be replaced when they can no
longer be repaired and just as funding allows. So back
(24:24):
in August twenty twenty four, you'll remember that a truck
blew attired then plowed through the barrier. This is on
State Highway one between Bombay and Ruma Rama, before slamming
into a van as it was heading to Auckland. It
killed three men and caused a coroner to recommend the
removal of all barriers around the country.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Right, how's our weather?
Speaker 13 (24:43):
Yeah, Well, much like the rest of the country really
showers heavy, becoming isolated though this morning Gustine Nordley's and
Auckland is a higher fifteen today.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Big dump rain last night, yes, and thunder thunder, callever thunder.
Speaker 13 (24:56):
Normally I seep through that, but I was awake.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
She was clapping hard and did you stay awake or
did you go back to staw I stayed awake. No,
that was it this game.
Speaker 13 (25:06):
I thought you looked a bit tired to excuse you.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Thank you never. It is seventeen minutes away, I think
seventeen minutes away from six coming up next. So Harry
is going to the UK, but he's leaving the missus
and kids in America. And it's all again to do
with the security. Gavin Grays in the UK News Talk
to b It is fourteen minutes away from six to
Winston Peters. You might have seen it the Weekly one
New Zealand first, but Winston Peters fronted the conference. This
(25:33):
was about only citizens. Only New Zealand citizens should be
able to vote in national elections and in local ones
as well. Now the rules are because I thought, I
wonder how many people actually vote. Non citizens vote in
our elections the rules are to vote here, you have
to be a permanent resident who's lived in the country
(25:55):
continuously for at least twelve months in order to enroll
and then vote. And how many people is that well,
depends varies. In twenty four there were four hundred and
seventy six thousand resident visa holders who'd spent one day
in New Zealand, so you know, you kind of got
to take a stab in the dark a little bit.
(26:16):
Seven hundred thousand holders of permanent resident visas in New Zealand,
so it's not an insignificant number. Now, how many of
them actually vote, we don't know, because the Electoral Commission
doesn't actually ask or track whether you are a citizen
or a non citizen when you go to cast your vote.
So it's will it change the earth? We don't actually know.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of mind
for New Zealand business.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
But in just six Gavin Gray are UK, you're a correspondent.
So Harry's coming, but Meghan is not, and the kids
are staying back in the States too. Gavin, Yeah, that's
the elitist.
Speaker 14 (26:55):
This has been the on off saga of Prince Harry's
visit back to the UK with a chance for King
Charles to meet his two grandchildren for the first time
in four years. The two children at age seven and five,
and he's not seen them in person since twenty twenty two.
So it looks like Harry is coming over and this
(27:16):
is for the countdown to the Invictus Games for injured
ex servicemen and women to take part in the sort
of Olympics as they are sometimes called for them, and
he's trying to raise awareness and attention for that. However,
the original thing was that he was going to come
over with Meghan and the two children, but it looks
like Meghan, Archie and Lilibet are going to stay in
(27:38):
California at least for the first bit of the visit,
which is interesting because it's not a total bahan. At
the moment, it's said that they may be coming to
another bit in Birmingham. Why it's all down to a
row about security. Prince Harry has been given accommodation at
a role residence, which of course will be secure. However
they are not giving him an extra detail when he's
(28:00):
out and about and they say, look, he's not a
working royal. We've received no intelligence of any threats. Harry
says differently. He says he cannot see a situation where
he is safe with his wife if he does not
have extra security. The UK said, well, you can bring
your own security, and at which point I think the
negotiations fell flat. But certainly there's talk about this all
being a bit of a psychodrama.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
What alava? The palava continues. Now one am your time,
the Mexicans are playing the English as a World Cup
football big game. Are you going to be able to
go to the pub?
Speaker 14 (28:32):
Given well, in six hours time the big kick off
six hours ten minutes, you can go to the pub.
I will not, however, be going to the pub, as
I've got work early the next morning, but plenty of
people will be. The government originally said no, there won't
be any extension to opening hours, which is normally finishing
at eleven pm. However they backtracked on that and said, actually, yes,
(28:56):
now the pubs can open until five am on Monday
morning our time. Now that means of course that there
will be plenty of people getting up for work late,
not going into work, potentially calling in for a sickie.
So many employers are not that impressed with the late
change of heart because they've not been given time to
sort of prepare their rosters or schedules. The police are
(29:17):
said to be pretty sad dissatisfied because again they're now
having to draft people in on overtime in order to
be available should any trouble kickoff. And it is a
sad thing of course, round that with an increase in
alcohol there comes an increase in violent crime. So that's
why the police and council officials are slightly nervy about this,
(29:38):
because many say they just don't have the pans in
plans in place to actually look after people until five am.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
All right, sounds like a little kickoff the nice has
always given. Gray are UK europe correspondent. It is ten
to six essions on a bit of a trade blitz
after getting the Indie FTA across the line, the wanting
to cut deals with seven new countries including Brazil, Niger, Area,
Argentina and more. Nathan Guys Meat Industry Association, Independent Share
and Special Agricultural Envoy joins us this morning. Nathan, good morning,
(30:08):
good morning, right, So after India, who's top of your list?
Who do we want one with?
Speaker 10 (30:13):
I think out of the list that were announced yesterday.
Probably Bangladesh is pretty much ready to go. They are
very engage with US. It's a very big dairy market
about three hundred and fifty million at the moment for
Fontier and others, so I think that might be first
cab off the rank wouldn't surprise me. If North America,
(30:33):
our North African countries like Nigeria are also quite warmed
up as well. Switzerland's an interesting one, very high value market,
but small at the moment, so that they decided with
others not to join the EU, so they stand alone.
Also with Iceland and lets Line in Norway, they've set
(30:57):
up a little EU Free Trade Association and so they're
keen to go in. Switzerland's part of that, so I
think that'll be interesting. And then if we look across
to South America, some massive economies over there, Brazil, Argentina
and Uruuguay big beef producers, quite strong and dairy, so
(31:18):
they are likely to be interested in services and agri tech.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
Good thing about this is that it's largely bipartisan free trade,
isn't it.
Speaker 10 (31:28):
Yes, Well, we saw that little delay with the Labor
Party on the India FDA. Fortunately over time they decided
it was significant for the New Zealand economy and for
New Zealanders as a whole. We need to remind ourselves,
Ryan that these free trade agreements actually benefit every household
(31:50):
in New Zealand. They are significant. And I think what
this plan has done was announced yesterday to the National Party.
It's got a clear plan of action now will targeted
approach twenty three trade missions over the next term, which
is exciting for business. So I just think now there's
going to be a real crystallizing of minds, a focus
(32:13):
in government with m fat MPI and New Zealand Trade
Ederprize to work concernedly together on these opportunities.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
Good stuff, Nathan, appreciate your time this morning, Nathan guy
who is meeting through your association course former minister as well.
It is seven to six. You're on News talksb.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Ryan Bridge on early edition with Spunk for Business Technology
that keeps business moving.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
News TALKSB.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
It is five away from six. You're on News Talk
B and Mike's in the studio. Morning Mike, how'd the
father in law go very, very tired? He's tired, he's
shifting soil weekend time job completed job completed, A very
good job and well done.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Better job than you would have done.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
Absolutely, I would have done it because I would have
done nothing.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Fantastic. Did you give them something nice?
Speaker 4 (33:02):
Did you?
Speaker 1 (33:02):
No?
Speaker 15 (33:03):
No, well, no, not yet, but you will now I
will not now, will you because I've asked publicly?
Speaker 4 (33:10):
No, I always. Do you know that there's a nice
meal shouted all this game?
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Yeah, that's good. So it was a big job in
the past.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
It was a big job. A lot of mud. There's
a lot of mud at the house. And I must
say that when the thunder clap this morning at one
thirty and the rain started falling, I did open the
window thinking, oh my gosh, And so you haven't seen
it because it's dark and you're dark going home to
the lights on.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Lord knows what.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
But the last No, that's fine, it's okay. But it
was a lot of work, like they work very hard.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
That's good. And did you look on with a cup
of team just gave my work? That looks hard?
Speaker 4 (33:38):
Can I get you anything?
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Oh, I'm so pleased. Christa luxe and Prime minister. This morning,
John Hart see the rugby, watched the rugby? I did, Yeah,
fantastic game. It was a good game. Otherwise a game.
I'm not into the negativity about OZ.
Speaker 15 (33:52):
But close, I thought was a fast close game is
a good game. And if you haven't seen the racing,
by the way, go how much the f one. It's
very very good race, really veryous British, the British, so
many wet, busy morning, very good.
Speaker 10 (34:04):
Get out of it, don't get out of it.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
For more 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 insight. Ryan Bridge on
early edition with Spark for Business Technology that keeps business moving.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
News Talks, they'd be good morning.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
And welcome to a short week.
Speaker 4 (00:11):
In a six a half to five you're on news Talks,
there'd be we'll speak to Nathan Guy top of the
r on the trade deals that National is gunning for,
Gavin to the UK for US, if Vicky Price brings
the business, and we'll look at that rather exciting game
of rugby on Saturday. The agenda is Monday, the sixth
of July, Mass of fireworks, big party in America as
they turned two hundred and fifty.
Speaker 5 (00:31):
We rebuilt our military in my first term. We use
it a little bit in our actually I should say
third term, but I won't do that because I don't
want any controversy. But we use it and we've had
tremendous success. You look at Venezuela, you look at Iran.
We wiped it out, wiped out their military.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Speaking of roundas for a second, had the funeral for harmony,
although his body is going to Line State until next
Thursday and then he gets better.
Speaker 6 (00:59):
I regret to a lot why I didn't come to
see the leader when he was alive. I should have
discovered him much earlier.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
I learnt too late.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Now the guy who wants to be the Leader of
the UK, not Burnham but Farage, Well he's in a
bit of trouble excepting donations. This time he didn't declare
having his staff, his security and his housing paid for
by a convicted criminals. Some kind of crypto aristocrat. Reform
spokesman says there's nothing to see here.
Speaker 7 (01:27):
George Cottrell is an old friend of Nigel Frag's. He
did give support to Nigel before he was a member
of parliament. He hasn't done so since he became a
member of parliament. No rules have been broken whatsoever.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Fair enough, they're all buddies, old chums. Finally to the
World Cup. Two games today eight am Brazil and Norway
and then mid day's England and Mexico. The poor old
English players have had a night of fireworks. They've had
mariachi bands, they've had singing, they've had all sorts outside
their hotel. Yeah, try to keep secret the location of
(02:11):
the hotel where the English players staying didn't work. They
got this.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Hear it first.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Bryan Bridge on early edition with Spark for Business Technology
that Keith's Business Moving News talks.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
They'd be late to have your company this morning. So
Asb's quarterly economic forecast, you would have heard Neva in
the news. Things are looking up because the price of
will has basically gone through the float, well compared to
where it was, it's gone essentially gone back to where
it was. I filled up the car on Saturday, I
think it was two eighty nine was the special price
for ninety one, So that you go come right down
(02:48):
from where it was and falling, probably going to fall further,
all you know, fingers crossed and all hoping in the strait.
But what's happening on Wednesday this week is the reive
So that is good news. Yes, it looks like, you know,
prizes are starting to stabilize the economy and the rebound
thing can happen again. Wednesday we get an OCR decision,
(03:09):
and this one's going to be interesting because remember we
had a pause, well we continued the pause last time
that the fourth consecutive meeting where they held and the
bank economists on this one are now split. So what
happens on Wednesday will be quite interesting. So we're at
two point twenty five percent. We've been there since November
last year. And remember the last vote was the split one,
(03:30):
and you might think, well, if they were split, remember
it was the internals versus the externals, those who members
who are part of the Reserve Bank versus those who
come on board for the meetings, you might think, well,
because it was split, we will again, we will likely
see a hike. And that's what some half the bank
economists think will happen. Inflation is at three point one percent.
(03:51):
And the thing about the oil is important because it
means that inflation won't peak at the same level that
it probably was going to if oil keept going north. Right.
But what this is, and this is Sharon Zolder from Ains.
She's made this comment which is sort of the only
interesting thing I could see about it that last time
there was no hike, but they were quite hawkish in tone,
(04:14):
because there's what they do, and then there's what they say,
So no hike, but they were hawkish saying basically next
time or you know soon, we will do it. So
if they do that again and they say, well, no hike,
but we'll do it next time, and do you lose
a bit of credibility. That's the question.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
News Talks EDB.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
It's ten up for five. Coming up next, we'll talk
about Rugger Adam Cooper with US Live the Early edition Full.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
The show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News Talks at
B on your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early Edition
with Ryan Bridge and Spark for Business Technology that keeps
Business Moving.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
News Talks EDB five thirteen. Burn him over in the
UK soon to be British prime ministers being warned by
an old stallwart. It's Tony Blair.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
You know.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Tony Blair has a think tank and he labour right.
Of three elections did he win. He's come out the
think tank has come out and said, hey, can you
just take it easy on tax? Because Burnham's done an
interview with the LBC over in London and suggested that
there was room to move on tax. And so Tony
Bleier's think tank has said you cannot tax your way
(05:23):
to prosperity. Well, this is a revelation, He's also said,
because he's potentially looking at capital gains tax. So at
the moment, if you pay a capital gains tax on
like a second home or on shares, you will pay
anywhere from eighteen to twenty four percent. Now, what Burnham
is apparently looking at doing is aligning the capital gains
(05:43):
tax rate with the three income tax bands twenty percent,
forty percent and forty five percent, So you would go
from paying up to twenty four percent to paying up
to forty five percent on your capital game. Now, this
is the line Britain was desperate for long term investment
(06:04):
in businesses and technologies entrepreneurs need. This is the Tony
Blair Foundation. Entrepreneurs apparently need an economy that rewards them
for taking risks and building businesses in Britain, So taxing
like that would be a very bad idea for the past.
So the AB's beat the French and christ Church Dave
Rennie was relieved, one of the debutantes apparently so nervously
(06:26):
spewed up in the changing rooms before the game. But
the real headline was excellent and compelling game of rugby
enjoyed by all who watched in christ Church. Adam Cooper,
host of All Sport, Breakfast and Wellington with Us this morning, Adam,
good morning morning, Ryan. Wasn't it great?
Speaker 8 (06:40):
It was a great contest and I think you know
just you look at rugby at the moments in general.
We saw that game also from Australia and Sydney between
the Wallabies and Ireland. Of course, Ireland are coming here
to face All Blacks next week. You know, rugby at
the moment is really sort of developing into contests where
with fast, open play, quick ball speed, a lot of
which we saw from the All Blacks on Saturday night. Yes,
(07:02):
it wasn't perfect, it wasn't necessarily dominant by them, but
I think definitely encouraging signs of the intent this team
is playing with the opportunities they're creating and a real
fight I thought, both on attack and defense to eventually
get that win. But it was it was tight for
the best part of the whole game, wasn't it.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
It was tight the first two minutes. It was a
nail biter. We had Love off and we had conceded
a try with and I think the first two minutes
and twenty five seconds, yeah, off on the back foot.
Speaker 8 (07:29):
But I think it's how they responded to that, and
especially Ruben Love in his first start in that number
ten jersey for the All Blacks. You know the fact
that he was able to come back on almost immediately
after his ten minutes on the sideline, and almost if
anyone tuned into that game after he came back on,
you wouldn't have thought he was had been out of
the game for that ten minutes. He didn't let it
(07:50):
affect him. He sort of was able to hit the
reset button and I thought, create some good opportunities again.
And Dave Renny the coaches acknowledged in a lot of
perfect performance by Rubin Love at anything. But I think
he's done enough, certainly to get another chance at his
home ground, Wellington this weekend to take on Italy. I
don't think you can critique his performance in game one
of a new season too much at all.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
And has Rennie said to the team just don't worry
about kicking it so much?
Speaker 8 (08:15):
Well again, I think it's just down to what I
mentioned before about the type of rugby you need to
play now to beat teams.
Speaker 9 (08:21):
The kicking game.
Speaker 8 (08:21):
I think it's fair to say has it necessarily worked
for a lot of teams in world rugby of late,
and it was quite encouraging I thought to see that
the lack of kicks coming from the All Blacks for territory,
they relied on their quick play. They're attacking line speed
a lot more, which I think definitely gave them some
great opportunities. I mean, you look at the way that
cam Royguard can find gaps, pull off dummies, dart through
(08:43):
defenders and things like that. That's clearly a sign of
how this All Blacks team feel that they are going
to win games and be competitive with many teams this year.
So yeah, encouraging and I think from a viewership perspective,
the lack of kicking was certainly welcomed.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
On Saturday, Adam Cooper five to seven teams they'd be
I am so Donald Tesss. This is the Prime minister
over in Poland. He has said we are preparing. Don't panic,
but we are preparing for the Russians coming at us
in the next months. Now that's kind of loosely defined,
but you might have seen over the weekend there's a
couple of stories, one published by the Telegraph in the
(09:17):
UK and it's citing people spies out of Washington who
reckon that the Russians are planning to test NATO's resolve
by just dipping their toe over the line into the water.
In Poland, as opposed to Ukraine, they will either target missiles,
(09:38):
drones even potentially send soldiers over the water into This
is a NATO state we're talking about, so head infrastructure,
maybe with some missiles, maybe fire some drones, just test
the waters and see how they react and see what
impact it has on Ukraine if they were to give
it a try. So this is what the Americans are
telling the Polish and the Polish of them if we're
(10:00):
preparing for There is a big summit, NATO summit in
Turkey this week, by the way, and Chris Pink is
our guy going there because of the window four. That's
Australia Career, Japan and US. So Chris Pink will be
there for that. Eighteen minutes after five News Talk said
B the Early Edition.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Full show podcast on IART Radio, how It By News
Talks at B.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Before the news breaks.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Here it first Ryan Bridge on Early Edition with Spark
for business Technology that keeps business moving News Talks at
B five twenty.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Great to have your company this morning. Flip me a text.
Nine two nine two is the number. It was raining well,
I mean for about an hour it was bucketing down
in Auckland last night and you know what, we actually
got me out of bed to the point where I
got out and had to look out the window and
turn the light on just to see if it was
I don't know if the house was floating. You know,
(10:51):
it was quite heavy and in Dunedin apparently you have
had a lot of rain overnight as well. Flicked me
and texted we know how it's going. Nine two nine
twenty one.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
After five Bryan Bridge.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Becky Price with the Business Vicky, good morning.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Good morning. I'm talking to you from England, of course,
where we're having a heat wave.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Yeah, how hot is it were you are?
Speaker 6 (11:11):
Well, it's over thirty degrees and that is considered very
very hot in London and that's where we are. Maybe
possibly thirty two to thirty four.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
But yes, and you don't second.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
Round or third round.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Yeah, and you don't have any ear CONDI you vecky.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
Nope, no, other houses weren't built for that. It was
never anticipated it would be so hot.
Speaker 8 (11:29):
So there we go.
Speaker 6 (11:30):
Yes, everyone is complaining, but I think it's wonderful.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Well, I mean some people, though, I suppose you're included.
Good on you. I wish you will the best for that.
Now tell us how is Andy Burnham. We've spoken a
lot about him in the last few weeks and he's
made a lot of promises, devolution being one of them.
How is it all going to be financed?
Speaker 6 (11:49):
It's a very good question. Of course, we are likely
to have him as our Prime minister in the UK
or by the twentieth of July, which is actually quite rapid.
The question is what is he going to do after
and we have the summer coming and the holidays, but
there is an awful lot of work that needs to
be done to see you know how businesses and others
are going to be satisfied that the extra spending he
(12:11):
needs to do and his promise is going to be
involved in doesn't simply get funded by just raising taxes,
and that's going to be a serious series concern that
everyone has. Look at defense, that's one of the major
areas that requires extra attention. We've just headed Defense Investment
Plan which has been published by the current Prime Ministers
(12:32):
O Kistama. It still has a gap of five billion
that needs to be found five billion pounds and even
the ten billion that's been found extra for the next
three years comes from cutting capital spending in other areas.
They're all screaming whether it's the Health Service, We're not
going to be improving hospitals. Whether it's the Education Department,
(12:54):
we're not going to be improving schools. So there's a
lot of concern as to where some of the money
will come from and whether the rest of the stuff
that Andy Burnham may want to do, including changing the
structure between London and the rest and allowing an awful
lot more development happening elsewhere, is going to have enough
money allocated to it.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Now. The inflation issue in Europe is actually quite a
sharp drop from May to June for the Euro Area.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
Yes, it's a real surprise because the inflation has gone
down to two point eight percent. I mean that's quite
close to the target, which is two percent. So we've
seen inflation come down from slightly over three to two
point eight. It was not expected. And the interesting thing
is when you look at some of the details. I mean,
there's no doubt that energy is still an issue. So
it's rising, So prices of energy are higher than the
(13:46):
way a year ago, but there are nearly nine percent
higher than ten percent that was the case in the
previous month. But where the declines are happening is in inflation.
It's not so much that prices are necessarily falling. But
where the declines inflation are happening have been in areas
like food, which is again not expected. We've seen that
happen in the UK else as well, and industrial goods.
(14:09):
So companies are just not passing costs through even though
obviously the costs have increased. And you also see that
a little bit in the service sector, where again you've
seen a slow down in inflation. So people are understanding.
I think that the consumer is stretched and stressed and
therefore are being very very careful as to you know,
(14:29):
piling on extra prices on their goods, because otherwise the
consumer is going to gone strike. And I think that's
what they're fearing.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Yeah, exactly. You appreciate that. Updoate Vicky Price. Our business
Corresponding twenty four after five silence is run and there's
a mother of all thunderstorms at Mount Monganery at the moment.
Another s is the heat wave. What a scam over
in Europe. I was over there recently and I can
tell you it's not a scam and the problem is
so much concrete and there's no like heat needs to
go somewhere to dissipate and there's just concrete upon con
(15:00):
create upon cobblestone. It doesn't there's no where for it
to escape. It's a it's a hell on earth. Don't go.
It's my advolved. Don't go on peak season anyway, that
would be worse. Hey, national's on a bit of a
trade blitz. Will speak to Nathan Guy, a former minister,
about that. Just before six this morning, you're on news Talk,
said B five twenty seven. News Talk said, be a
big weekend of events. We had a wedding, we had
(15:22):
a funeral, and we had a massive anniversary bash. Congratulations
to America, to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey, to Iranians
who lived under and were persecuted by the Ayatola, and
Rugby in that order. If eighteen forty is the start
line of our democracy, and I know some don't think
it is, America is not actually that much older, all
growing up than us. And speaking of that, Trump's speech
(15:45):
describing the declaration of independence as the single greatest achievement
in human history was perhaps a little over the top,
not unlike Trump, but also not to be scoffed at entirely.
They enjoy many freedoms as we do that most of
the the world just does not, and we forget about this. Elections, protest,
assembly speech. Yes, these are tested from time to time,
(16:07):
but you cannot deny the fact that America is one
of the most liberal and freely expressive states in the
world and in all of human history. Freedom house tracks democracies,
they reckon. Just twenty one percent of the world's population
today actually live in a free society and a democracy,
and it's been tracking down for decades because you have
(16:29):
military cups, you have conflicts, you have power grabs. In Africa,
nine countries have had successful coups since twenty nineteen, since
COVID crazy. We don't know how good we've got it
until it's gone, and that's the problem. And two hundred
and fifty years without one is worth celebrating without saying
it's been perfect. No country is. Freedom feels good when
(16:49):
you can enjoy it, as Taytay and Travis clearly did
on the weekend. Congratulations to them. Here we enjoy rugby
and we beat the French and in around the weekend's
pictures showed morning and tears for the eye are told.
But the truth is it's harder to see. Without a
clearer lens that democracy provides, many in Iran and expats
(17:11):
around the world would have seen his funeral not as
a sad event but cause for celebration. Ryan Bridge twenty
nine after five News Talks FB. So we'll get to
Nathan Guy on trades. Nats want to do more deals.
They're coming off the back of Iran obviously up the
back of India, forgive me slight correction, so they're very
(17:33):
happy with that. Progress looking good and they've got targets
in their sites. Nathan Guy on that. Plus we're live
to London News Talk Set B.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
The Early Edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio. How It
by NEWSTALKSB News and Views you Trust to start your day.
It's Early Edition with Ryan Bridge and Spark, a business
technology that keeps business moving.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
News Talks brow away from.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
You're on News Talks there'd be welcome to your Monday morning.
Great to have your company coming up on the program
and speak to Nathan Guy. Because the Nats are on
a bit of a blitz. Luxon wants FDAs with Brazil
and Argentina. We'll speak to the former minister about that.
We'll also head to the UK for the latest elbow
I crossed the Tasman's in a bit of trouble. Well,
he's trying to do relatable content and the podcast is
(18:35):
the thing and we'll see a lot of it this year. People,
the politicians will go on podcasts and they will. The
podcasts are a bit more friendly and jovial perhaps than
your mainstream media interviews are, and sometimes they can be
good because you see a side of it. You go, oh,
I didn't know that they were like that. I didn't
know that they sort of spoke like that, and it's
not so restrained and restricted. However, sometimes you.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Get this Mary Date, Kylie Minogue, Nicole Kibben.
Speaker 10 (19:03):
Or Ronda Birch Moore.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
I've just got married on many six months in.
Speaker 11 (19:07):
But if it ghost tips up, let's just pretend oh
Kylie clearly in Mary, Kylie and Shagger and Data all
of them bove all right.
Speaker 6 (19:16):
It's a triplet.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
That is a comment from Anthony Albanezi. In case you
missed it, that's the Australian Prime Minister saying that he
would shag to use their words, shag Mary and Date,
Kylie Minogue, Bryan Breed. Seems you probably didn't want to
know anyway, he's getting fat from both sides for it.
Calum Procter and Dnedin for us this morning, Callum, how's
(19:40):
the weather been overnight? Morning?
Speaker 8 (19:43):
Ryan?
Speaker 10 (19:43):
You have been a wet night here.
Speaker 12 (19:45):
A rare red heavy rain warning remains in force for
Danita until tenn in this morning. The heavy or the
rain's been add it's heavy a certainly in the last
couple of hours. Dunedin Civil Defense Bunker was activated yesterday
afternoon and sandbags were made available to residents here and
in Moscle. A number of roads are closed, more and
(20:05):
more closing by the minute, a lot of them in Moscule,
and evacuation is seen to Rhyme's been open there some
residents making use of that. South Dunedin flood protection barriers
have been installed in parts of Southdneda ar coping at
this stage. We're told of some small slips already on
Otago Peninsula. Caution advised there and locals just being on
(20:26):
to stay at home this morning completely and avoid unnecessary travel.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
Ryan.
Speaker 12 (20:30):
We're also hearing that this is affecting North Otago badly,
the rain in the last half hour.
Speaker 10 (20:35):
A state of emergency declared.
Speaker 12 (20:37):
In the WAITUCKI district with a welfare evacuations send to
set up in Amaro as well.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
Okay, good tonight and what did it sound like on
the roof Callum?
Speaker 12 (20:46):
Yes, nasty and just heavier and heavier as the night
went on and as I say, just in the last
hour as forecast the rain has been at its peak,
so authorities concerned here. The met Service stough says things
will improve for Otago through the day as it moves
north onto Marlbreton, Canterbury.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
All right, good stuff, Colum, take care, that's clem into
need and clear and christ Itch morning, Claire, good morning.
Why is the marathon they're getting a makeover?
Speaker 11 (21:12):
Yeah, Chrishchitch Marathon is super popular and has been rising
in popularity with the increase and the popularity around running.
This has prompted some significant changes for the Garden Cities
famously flat and fast course. The forty two point two
kilometer race, which was previously run over four laps of
the CBD, is going to switch to be a two
(21:32):
lap course from April, extending further east into the Red
Zone area and turning that into a racetrack. It comes
as participants have more than doubled over the past three years,
Marathon director Chris Cox says the course was simply too congested.
Faster athletes were getting caught behind slower runners as they
continued to increase their laps. He says, with more than
(21:52):
ten thousand runners expected for twenty twenty seven, they just
had to do something.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
He says.
Speaker 11 (21:57):
The extension will take half and full marathon runners across
Fitzgerald av into the red Zone, down to curz Reach
where our rowers have their regattas, and then back along
the river in order to link back with the old course.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
That people will know.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Okay, how's your weather.
Speaker 11 (22:11):
The rain has started here, will be heavier from this afternoon.
As Callum said, southwesterly is becoming strong. Southeasterly is at
the high eleven degrees, cleared to be morning to best.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Morning, Ryan, you've got numbers from the council on the
nude library.
Speaker 9 (22:25):
Yeah, I mean, after all the issues with opening ceremonies
and library websites, we've got some pretty good news here.
The revamped Central Library, which reopens this or in March
sorry after more than six years back, has officially welcomed
five hundred thousand people.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Through its doors.
Speaker 9 (22:40):
Some more figures for you. Over two hundred and twenty
thousand books have been issued, two three hundred meeting rooms booked,
and almost thirty thousand people using those creative spaces in
the first three months alone. The cafe on the inside
as well, where they say they can't keep up with business,
serving over eight hundred flat whites every week. The owner
of the caf, Sam Huy, says it's been madness and
(23:02):
they've broken their coffee grinders twice trying to keep up,
and their cheese scones when they're flying off the cabinet
so fast that they've started baking twice a day.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Nice. So did so five hundred thousand people in six months?
Speaker 9 (23:15):
Oh yes, in the first since March, so that's five months.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Yeah, okay? And then how much was the website again?
Six hundred thousand dollars six hundred thousand okay, So if
we charged a dollar ahead, we still wouldn't be we
still wouldn't be baking even and it's free, but they've
still got money for cheese scones, which is lovely.
Speaker 9 (23:33):
How's the weather, well, mostly cloudy's strong southerlies this morning,
rain and saw for us this afternoon and twelve degrees
to high and Wellington's on.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Today's thank you and Neva's an all good morning, Nebers.
Speaker 13 (23:43):
I'm just thinking, wow, it's probably you know, we need
to get down there just for a coffee and a
scow twice a day on the scone and the old grinder.
The coffee grinders just like being broken.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Well they might be old, much like the median barriers
on the augn highighway network.
Speaker 13 (24:00):
Oh yes, now look deemed inadequate by coroner investigating a
horrific triple fatal crash. These old barriers. Now they are
going to be replaced by safer and more modern ones,
but they will remain in other parts of the country,
and they will only be replaced when they can no
longer be repaired and just as funding allows. So back
(24:24):
in August twenty twenty four, you'll remember that a truck
blew attired then plowed through the barrier. This is on
State Highway one between Bombay and Ruma Rama, before slamming
into a van as it was heading to Auckland. It
killed three men and caused a coroner to recommend the
removal of all barriers around the country.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Right, how's our weather?
Speaker 13 (24:43):
Yeah, Well, much like the rest of the country really
showers heavy, becoming isolated though this morning Gustine Nordley's and
Auckland is a higher fifteen today.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Big dump rain last night, yes, and thunder thunder, callever thunder.
Speaker 13 (24:56):
Normally I seep through that, but I was awake.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
She was clapping hard and did you stay awake or
did you go back to staw I stayed awake. No,
that was it this game.
Speaker 13 (25:06):
I thought you looked a bit tired to excuse you.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Thank you never. It is seventeen minutes away, I think
seventeen minutes away from six coming up next. So Harry
is going to the UK, but he's leaving the missus
and kids in America. And it's all again to do
with the security. Gavin Grays in the UK News Talk
to b It is fourteen minutes away from six to
Winston Peters. You might have seen it the Weekly one
New Zealand first, but Winston Peters fronted the conference. This
(25:33):
was about only citizens. Only New Zealand citizens should be
able to vote in national elections and in local ones
as well. Now the rules are because I thought, I
wonder how many people actually vote. Non citizens vote in
our elections the rules are to vote here, you have
to be a permanent resident who's lived in the country
(25:55):
continuously for at least twelve months in order to enroll
and then vote. And how many people is that well,
depends varies. In twenty four there were four hundred and
seventy six thousand resident visa holders who'd spent one day
in New Zealand, so you know, you kind of got
to take a stab in the dark a little bit.
(26:16):
Seven hundred thousand holders of permanent resident visas in New Zealand,
so it's not an insignificant number. Now, how many of
them actually vote, we don't know, because the Electoral Commission
doesn't actually ask or track whether you are a citizen
or a non citizen when you go to cast your vote.
So it's will it change the earth? We don't actually know.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of mind
for New Zealand business.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
But in just six Gavin Gray are UK, you're a correspondent.
So Harry's coming, but Meghan is not, and the kids
are staying back in the States too. Gavin, Yeah, that's
the elitist.
Speaker 14 (26:55):
This has been the on off saga of Prince Harry's
visit back to the UK with a chance for King
Charles to meet his two grandchildren for the first time
in four years. The two children at age seven and five,
and he's not seen them in person since twenty twenty two.
So it looks like Harry is coming over and this
(27:16):
is for the countdown to the Invictus Games for injured
ex servicemen and women to take part in the sort
of Olympics as they are sometimes called for them, and
he's trying to raise awareness and attention for that. However,
the original thing was that he was going to come
over with Meghan and the two children, but it looks
like Meghan, Archie and Lilibet are going to stay in
(27:38):
California at least for the first bit of the visit,
which is interesting because it's not a total bahan. At
the moment, it's said that they may be coming to
another bit in Birmingham. Why it's all down to a
row about security. Prince Harry has been given accommodation at
a role residence, which of course will be secure. However
they are not giving him an extra detail when he's
(28:00):
out and about and they say, look, he's not a
working royal. We've received no intelligence of any threats. Harry
says differently. He says he cannot see a situation where
he is safe with his wife if he does not
have extra security. The UK said, well, you can bring
your own security, and at which point I think the
negotiations fell flat. But certainly there's talk about this all
being a bit of a psychodrama.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
What alava? The palava continues. Now one am your time,
the Mexicans are playing the English as a World Cup
football big game. Are you going to be able to
go to the pub?
Speaker 14 (28:32):
Given well, in six hours time the big kick off
six hours ten minutes, you can go to the pub.
I will not, however, be going to the pub, as
I've got work early the next morning, but plenty of
people will be. The government originally said no, there won't
be any extension to opening hours, which is normally finishing
at eleven pm. However they backtracked on that and said, actually, yes,
(28:56):
now the pubs can open until five am on Monday
morning our time. Now that means of course that there
will be plenty of people getting up for work late,
not going into work, potentially calling in for a sickie.
So many employers are not that impressed with the late
change of heart because they've not been given time to
sort of prepare their rosters or schedules. The police are
(29:17):
said to be pretty sad dissatisfied because again they're now
having to draft people in on overtime in order to
be available should any trouble kickoff. And it is a
sad thing of course, round that with an increase in
alcohol there comes an increase in violent crime. So that's
why the police and council officials are slightly nervy about this,
(29:38):
because many say they just don't have the pans in
plans in place to actually look after people until five am.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
All right, sounds like a little kickoff the nice has
always given. Gray are UK europe correspondent. It is ten
to six essions on a bit of a trade blitz
after getting the Indie FTA across the line, the wanting
to cut deals with seven new countries including Brazil, Niger, Area,
Argentina and more. Nathan Guys Meat Industry Association, Independent Share
and Special Agricultural Envoy joins us this morning. Nathan, good morning,
(30:08):
good morning, right, So after India, who's top of your list?
Who do we want one with?
Speaker 10 (30:13):
I think out of the list that were announced yesterday.
Probably Bangladesh is pretty much ready to go. They are
very engage with US. It's a very big dairy market
about three hundred and fifty million at the moment for
Fontier and others, so I think that might be first
cab off the rank wouldn't surprise me. If North America,
(30:33):
our North African countries like Nigeria are also quite warmed
up as well. Switzerland's an interesting one, very high value market,
but small at the moment, so that they decided with
others not to join the EU, so they stand alone.
Also with Iceland and lets Line in Norway, they've set
(30:57):
up a little EU Free Trade Association and so they're
keen to go in. Switzerland's part of that, so I
think that'll be interesting. And then if we look across
to South America, some massive economies over there, Brazil, Argentina
and Uruuguay big beef producers, quite strong and dairy, so
(31:18):
they are likely to be interested in services and agri tech.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
Good thing about this is that it's largely bipartisan free trade,
isn't it.
Speaker 10 (31:28):
Yes, Well, we saw that little delay with the Labor
Party on the India FDA. Fortunately over time they decided
it was significant for the New Zealand economy and for
New Zealanders as a whole. We need to remind ourselves,
Ryan that these free trade agreements actually benefit every household
(31:50):
in New Zealand. They are significant. And I think what
this plan has done was announced yesterday to the National Party.
It's got a clear plan of action now will targeted
approach twenty three trade missions over the next term, which
is exciting for business. So I just think now there's
going to be a real crystallizing of minds, a focus
(32:13):
in government with m fat MPI and New Zealand Trade
Ederprize to work concernedly together on these opportunities.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
Good stuff, Nathan, appreciate your time this morning, Nathan guy
who is meeting through your association course former minister as well.

will not now, will you because I've asked publicly?
Speaker 4 (33:10):
No, I always. Do you know that there's a nice
meal shouted all this game?
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Yeah, that's good. So it was a big job in
the past.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
It was a big job. A lot of mud. There's
a lot of mud at the house. And I must
say that when the thunder clap this morning at one
thirty and the rain started falling, I did open the
window thinking, oh my gosh, And so you haven't seen
it because it's dark and you're dark going home to
the lights on.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Lord knows what.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
But the last No, that's fine, it's okay. But it
was a lot of work, like they work very hard.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
That's good. And did you look on with a cup
of team just gave my work? That looks hard?
Speaker 4 (33:38):
