Speaker 1 (00:01):
The issues, the interviews and the insight. Ryan Bridge on
earlier this ship with r V Supercenter explore r V
successories and servicing all in one news talks.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
That'd be good morning, Welcome to Monday, just gone six,
half to five, Getting kids off the doll this morning.
How are we going to clean up Queen's streets? Gavin
Gray on those protests in London and crime on bail.
That story we'll look at with Steve Cullen. All ahead
the agenda Monday, the sixth of October. Netanya, who reckons
the hostages should be freedom the next few days. Meanwhile,
(00:40):
nearly five hundred people have been handcuffed in London for
supporting a pro Palestine group there saying in Europe putent's.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Not the implication behind and the argument is that these
are hate archers.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
They are not.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
I have, as a juced person over sid nothing but
love and respect on these marches, and I've been attending
every week for two.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Years, staying in Europe. Now Potin's not living up on Ukraine.
Five did power counts the South of missiles and drones overnight?
Speaker 5 (01:12):
According to the President of Vladimir Zelensky, around five hundred
drones potentially fired at the country, along with possibly fifty
ballistic and cruised missiles. Now mainly the west of the
country was targeted. The city and the region of Leviv
in particular were hit.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Finally, this morning, the Broncos had defeated the Melbourne Storm
twenty six twenty two at the Inner l Grand Final
of the Core studiument Sydney. The start of the show
was fullback Race Walsh was Teckle after Teckle after try
stopping Tekele.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
Walsh's Everywhere shows a cutter door, Shibasaki, Shita, sakis God,
the Broncos have theload.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Get ahead of the headlines on a early edition with
Brian Bridge and r the Supercenter explore r VS accessories
and servicing all in one news talks.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
That'd be nine two the number sexts me this morning,
Big oc Arcle coming this week by the way, and
hawksby obviously still they're still in charge. Even though we
knew that Anna's coming. She's gone back to Sweden, should
be packing all of her hiking gear into a suitcase
and moving down here for December first, which is her
first day, her first day with her feet under the desk.
(02:26):
Now the markets have pretty much fifty to fifty on this.
Everyone's kind of throwing their hands up in the air.
Are they going to do a double whammy or are
they going to do just a single twenty five basis
point cut On Wednesday, we're at three percent now, inflation
spiking again. But they should look through that couple of
doves at that last meeting. You remember who decided that,
hell with it, we're going for a double They were
(02:46):
voted down. But are they still there in the room?
Hawks By they reckon, it'll be a bit more cautious
because he's on the way out, will kind of go
with whatever the consensus is. Buckle has left his reply,
and he was quite hawkish. His replacement may just go
with the consensus too. So the question then becomes, what
will the consensus be. Well, we don't know because we're
(03:08):
not in the room, but the composition of the Monetary
Policy Committee has certainly changed now the day before the
quite influential NZI September quarter Business survey will be out.
That comes out the day before, and you wouldn't expect
them to make a decision based on that, but it
will be important this one. So we'll make sure you're
across that, you know, do we go it? Does it
(03:29):
show that we're in an even bigger hole than we
were in quarter two or that we haven't quite dug
out of it? Or are there signs of life? Do
we go single? Do we go double? Those will be
the questions before Arna even gets to work. Coming up next,
it is Crime on Bail, News Talk SEB, Views.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
And Views You Trust to start your day. It's early
edition with Bryan Bridge and are the Supercenter explore? Are
these accessories and servicing fall?
Speaker 3 (03:57):
In one?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
News Talks B five twelve. Couple of good little bits
of news for your Monday morning. Two hundred and fifteen
million dollars were taken out a kiwisaver and early withdrawls.
This is for August now that's first home buys and
for people who are struggling with hardship, which means that
it is up seventeen percent then a year prior, but
it is going up at a slower rate. In fact,
(04:18):
hardship has now either fallen or been flat since its peak,
which was in twenty twenty three, So that's a good thing.
The other good thing to know this morning is oil
APEC Plus have decided in their infinite wisdom to push
out some more barrels in extra one hundred and thirty
seven thousand barrels a day in November. This will match
(04:39):
their increase for October. They are trying to regain some
market share. The Americans have taken a bit from them.
The Americans price down thirteen percent this year because of
the increased production. They're worried about a glutch. And if
you're worried about a glutch, that means good news for
the price of oil. So that's all happening this month
and next News.
Speaker 7 (04:57):
Talks their b Spray and Bridge.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
We've got new numbers out this morning on crime. While
on bail, Ministry of Justice figures show convictions jumped by
nearly twelve thousand between twenty fifteen and twenty twenty four.
Homicides doubled from ten to twenty five over that time,
with court backlogs taking up much of the blame. Steve Callen,
criminal lawyer, with us this morning. Steve, Good morning, Good morning.
So what is this telling us?
Speaker 8 (05:22):
Well, the figures are a little bit confusing, to be honest,
There's been a ten year period. There's no doubt that
there are increases occurring in crimes, but then everything else
is going up as well. You'd want to be a
praised of the demographics of society. Are we getting an
increase in the proportion of youth? Are we getting an
(05:43):
increase in the proportion of young people before the courts?
Are there more gang members? We know that there are
more drug abusers. It's a concerning statistic, but in the
absence of more information, it's hard to derive any really
concrete decisions from it.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
A bit more context, doesn't it, Steve.
Speaker 8 (06:01):
What are you saying, Well, certainly we're seeing that people
are sometimes noncompliant with bail, and they certainly do go
on to commit further offending. This release talks about fears
that the offense is that people are on bail go
and commit somehow pertain to existing victims. Well, I haven't
(06:23):
seen any particular evidence of that. They do go on
to commit more offenses, but that's just the nature of
the beast. I'm afraid when they deal with criminal law.
The period they're talking about spans, for example, the period
when we had COVID, when we had ram raids. What
we are seeing, I think, in my own view, is
that there's been a bit of a decline in respect
(06:43):
for law and order and institutions that seems to be worldwide.
It's come through social media and it seems to be
almost reflected in some of the people's attitudes towards bail
were the less of a mind to take it seriously.
But let's not forget over eighty percent of people who
are on electronically monitored bail, for example, are compliant.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
If you get bail once and then stuff, you'll bail up,
do you get bail again.
Speaker 8 (07:12):
It's not automatic. It needs a legitimate reason to explain
why there were difficulties with bail, and then the courts
would look at all the surrounding circumstances. It's not a
total prohibition, but it's most certainly taken into account in
later hearings. And yes, it will impact on your ability
to get bailed that you've breached to bail in the past.
(07:33):
And what's of even more important is that if people
are on electronically monitored sentences and violate those, then there's
a higher likelihood that they're not going to receive a
similar sentence. Are in electronically monitored sentence when it comes
to sentencing, so they'll face imprisonment.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Well that makes sense to me, Steve, thanks for that,
Steve Cullen. Criminal Royal time is sixteen after five news Talk,
said b.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Ryan Bridge on early edition with r V Supercenter explore
RV's accessories and servicing all in one news talks.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
That be it is eighteen minutes after five. So one
hundred and twenty two thousand people become eligible today for
free screening in their first year. This is Bowe's screening
been lowered from sixty down to fifty eight years. This
is for Northland, Auckland and South Auckland. The rest of
the North Island is going to follow in March next year,
(08:26):
and then everybody else after that. By twenty twenty seven
it should be fifty eight everywhere. Now you might have
heard in the news there's a big debate about some
ethnic groups were allowed to have their screening done I
think from the age of fifty much earlier than the
rest of the general population. And people have said, well,
and that's been taken away, so that's now going to
be fifty eight for everyone, And people are saying, well,
(08:48):
that's not fear. The Ministry of Health data shows that
you will save more lives overall by making this change
to fifty eight for everybody than you would by having
bespoke tailored approaches by ethnicity. So what is the Ministry
of Health's job? Is it to keep the biggest number
(09:10):
of people healthy and happy as possible? And if so,
then is that not right? The right call? Nineteen minutes
after five, graham Bridge great in her old Grand Final
over at the weekend. Let's talk about Steve Walsh. What
a restaurant for rather what an amazing game he had?
Speaker 9 (09:28):
Look right, I'm a bit bleary eye this morning because
I did stay up and watch it. It was just
so compelling and Brisbane really earned that one. I mean
twenty six twenty two, and I mean they talk about
Reese lightning, don't they, And he was everywhere. It was
the most I mean they talk about as one of
the most influential Grand Final performances, and of course taking
the Clive Churchill Medal. I mean, I don't know what's
(09:50):
in the toilet water at Reese Walsh's place, but it
is something special because on defense, on attack, he was
setting up everything and he talked about them. You know,
you want to hear in the balls there with the
moneyball he'd delivered at one point there. It was he
just set it all up in phenomenal performance from Brismon
and Melbourne finishing the second again as a result of that.
Speaker 7 (10:10):
But pretty hard to turn that down.
Speaker 9 (10:11):
I mean Melbourne were up twenty to twelve yes at
halftime and Brisbane of getting scoreless in the second half
and added on fourteen points I mean whilst making the
try saving.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Tackle effectively as well. Yeah, it was.
Speaker 7 (10:24):
It was quite phenomenal.
Speaker 9 (10:26):
And I mean they'd lost being Hunt to concussion as well,
Skipper Adam Reynolds had limped off with the carpentery in
the second half, so yeah, they had it all to
play for.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Yeah, and especially after all the stuff that's been going
on in his personal life, his daughter and all that
sort of stuff.
Speaker 9 (10:42):
So just that, I mean a lot of the time
with sports people it's had ability to compartmentalize, and people
in any professional image when things are going on and
they're able to just put it to one side and
still do their job in that fashion.
Speaker 7 (10:55):
So yeah, phenomenal to watch.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
How about that was? Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 9 (10:58):
So taking that with the new South Wales taking it
out in terms of the what we call it the
second tier. If you like so yes, I promised there
for the Warriors at that at that second level.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
And the we did it.
Speaker 9 (11:13):
But MESSI yeah, this is relatively clinical in a way,
and that they just did what they needed to do.
I thought just from watching that game, just piecing it
together in the wet there in Perth. I think the
Rugby Championship probably finished the way it should have done,
those so Africa winning it of course, with that narrow
victory over Argentina twigging them, but I think probably looking
(11:34):
ahead now, I'm looking forward to seeing the Abits with
that potential to take a Grand Slam. That always adds
another element to an end of year tour if you
can beat all the home nations and that's all coming up,
starting with the Ireland and the States.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Yeah, fantastic looking forward to that.
Speaker 10 (11:50):
Now.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Dame Knowles, this is just going getting ridiculous now, so
she's out for the for the rest of the season now,
Slation Cup lawyers are involved, and it looks like the
only place left for it to go might be the
employment relations or things.
Speaker 9 (12:05):
That's that's messy, that is, I mean, I think that
was the one chance to resolve it, and now I
just can't see that getting any healthier.
Speaker 7 (12:13):
Really, it seems quite quite bitter.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
What do you how do you read into that? Do
you think that there must be a hardcore group of
players who are just dead against her that are holding
on There must be otherwise neckble New Zealand surely would.
Speaker 7 (12:26):
Just oh yeah, for sure.
Speaker 9 (12:27):
Otherwise you would have resolution and have compromise, and you
would meet somewhere in the middle and there would be
not necessarily a mere culple, but a resolution that you
would I negotiate together about what had gone on and etc.
Speaker 7 (12:43):
But who's to know behind the scenes what's what's really
gone on.
Speaker 9 (12:46):
It seems to be fairly complicated at the negotiation table there,
and it's going to continue and go to another level
by this out of it.
Speaker 7 (12:52):
But that is messy. Indeed.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
If one, you've got an upboat for us this morning, Oh.
Speaker 7 (12:57):
Yeah, that was well.
Speaker 9 (12:58):
Construction Championships been sided with McLaren taking it out, albeit
some internal bickering between past three and Lando Norris in
that regard. But George Russell has won the race for
Mercedes extra STARp and second, Liam Lawson fifteenth. But yeah,
terrific even on the constructors front. But that's only going
to add to the interest now in the actual overall
drivers championship between.
Speaker 7 (13:19):
Those two trying to take it out.
Speaker 9 (13:21):
I think it was some debate over over passing on
a on a on the first lap, et cetera, as
the someone sort of given back their advantage. Well, well Norris,
Norris was third past three fourth, so I think it's
only twenty two points between those two at the top
of the standing.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
So all to drive for brilliants will see that. We'll
hear ready to come there you go absolutely. It is
twenty three minutes away from five. You're on News Talk
CIVB and coming up next. Something that caught my eye,
the working that really irked me. It's about protests.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Next the Early Edition Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered
by News.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Talks B Monday morning on News Talks Abit's twenty six
minutes after five. Freedom is a thing I think we
can all love about living in this country and living
in a country like ours. It's democratic and it's pretty liberal.
We fight, we protest, we argue, we debate, but unlike
most of the rest of the world, we don't get physical.
You know, we don't go out and kill each other
(14:17):
in the name of our beliefs, we express ourselves and
then we try and find a solution. Look around the
world section of the newspaper this morning, from the Middle
East to Africa, to Europe, to Georgia to parts of America,
even your seat places falling apart of the seams, or
freedom being crushed into a one thousand tiny pieces. We
have in this country, for the most part, standards about
(14:39):
how we do things. We have boundaries and that I
think was crossed at the weekend protest is taking it
too far as they did live streaming from outside the
personal home of a member of Parliament, a cabinet minister,
their own personal home, where their partner lives, where their children,
(15:00):
i'm sure, visit grandchildren, where family friends stop buy for
a cup of tea. It's their sanctuary. Everyone who's got
a home knows what that feels like. You know, they're
family photos on the walls, they've got junk mail in
the door. It's someone's home. And some genius thought it
would be a great idea to get a mob outside
a senior minister's home at the weekend, at nighttime and
(15:22):
start yelling. It is not a good idea. It has
never been a good idea and it never will be
they published his address. You might think you appear harmless
with your flags and your balaklavas and you're yelling with
your masks on your faces, but not all people outside
of politics share this view. You can look scary, intimidating
(15:44):
and threatening. So please please carry on protesting. We're all
free to do so, but perhaps next time stop and
think about how your actions might be affecting people around you,
people who aren't in politic or making decisions. And I
think actually today you should take a good hard look
(16:05):
in the mirror, get a pen in a paper and
write a letter to that minister to say sorry. Bryan Bridge,
twenty eight minutes after five newsbooks said, but everyone know
a guy called Bad Bunny. He's apparently performing at the
Super Bowl. I'll play you a bit of music of
his in just a second, But this is what he's
had to say on SNL Live. He was hosting it
(16:26):
at the weekend because Christy Gnome, who's the Homeland Security Secretary.
She says, ICE will be there looking for any illegal immigrants.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
You might not know these, but I'm doing the Super
Bowl half done show.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
And I'm very happy.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
I'm very happy, and I think everyone is happy about it,
even even Fox News that Bunny's.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Favorite musician and he should be the next president. Now
bad Bunny is thirty one years old and he's a
Puerto Rican. As Donald Trump would say, this is a
little bit of what he sounds like. For those unfamiliar
have listened to his music, No Alec.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Jarvis, Alec Dums, Alex Alex.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
So it's going to be one of those if you're
a super Bowl fan this year. Twenty nine minutes after
five your Own News Talks The Bet, We'll get to
our reporters around the country, Gavin Gray in the UK
and young people on the benefits changes coming for you.
News Talks Beat.
Speaker 11 (17:42):
You Set My Heart from the theto.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
The news you need this morning and the in depth
analysis Early edition with Ryan Bridge and r V Supercenter
explore r v's accessories and servicing all.
Speaker 12 (17:59):
In one used She's always changing out of work.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Good morning, it is coming up two twenty four minutes
away from six year old News Talks. They'd be will
get to our UK europe correspondent shortly. Lots of protests
in London over the weekend and lots of arrests as
a result, and also the young people here, the teenagers
on the dole getting a bit of a kick up
the jaxi by the government. I love this stash between
China and the UK over their embassies. Everyone likes to
(18:26):
have a flash new embassy these days, and they both
want one in each other's respective countries. So China to
get its Mega ministry built, which, by the way, I
had to look at how much they'd spent on the
land alone. The Chinese had spent two hundred and fifty
five million pounds for the land alone. It's two hundred
and fifteen thousand square feet of land. They can't start
(18:50):
construction on their mega embassy yet for planning reasons. As
you can imagine, it's England. So what they're doing to
try and put the pressure on is turning the taps
off at the British embassy in Beijing. So these guys,
these British diplomats, are sitting there in apparently freezing cold
buildings with no running water some of them, and are
(19:10):
even having to use a squash court as temporary officers.
So there you go, twenty three minutes away from six
Grayan bridge reporters around the country. Colum and Dunedin this morning, Colum,
Good morning morning. Right, are you guys lagging behind on voting?
Speaker 10 (19:26):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Correct? As of Friday night.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
In fact, just fifteen point two percent of eligible voters
here in Dunedin had cast a ballot. So that's the
lowest rate nationwide fifteen point two percent, matched only by
Bay of Plenty Regional Council. And it's a sharp drop
from what was the final voting numbers from twenty twenty two.
Heresn Eden recorded the third highest turnout of any of
the metropolitan centers at more than forty eight percent, so.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
A long way to go to match that.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Queenstown Ryan's also trailing behind in the voting the turnout
they're sitting at fifteen point three percent so far. Local
Government New Zealand NOOS says overall national voting numbers are
tracking above the last elections.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Right, but still lower than fifty percent by the end
of it. How's your where there?
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Colum starts off fine today late afternoon evening rain northwest
is today the high eighteen cheers.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Thank you Claire in christ Church. Take Claire, You've got
some homelessness news for us this morning.
Speaker 13 (20:23):
I do indeeds. Look, this is a story of about
ten or so people who have been living in some
tents and campus and even sheds on the grounds of
Avonside Holy Trinity Church car park that's be forced to
leave over the weekend following several complaints dating back to
last year. Many of the residents, though, have still got
nowhere to go and have ended up camping in the
city's red zone. Community advocates and council candidate Hailey goo
(20:47):
Letter says an abatement order isn't going to solve homelessness,
but rather shifts the problem elsewhere. She says pushing people
into the red zone is simply not a good outcome.
There's a lack of support and infrastructure there. There's also
safety issues. She believes there's scope for some transitional housing
to be put into the red zone, which could be
a longer term solution.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
All right, how's your weather?
Speaker 13 (21:10):
Mainly finds and cloud increasing the south afternoon strong south
of easterlies, then northeasteries. The high will be sixteen.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Thank you? Clear? Hey Max?
Speaker 10 (21:18):
Good morning?
Speaker 2 (21:19):
What's the Paeder Jackson up to now?
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 14 (21:22):
Story over the weekend. S Peter Jackson, who of course
owns a good deal of property and land on the
Mirrormar Peninsula, forcing the closure of the iconic well perhaps
Chocolate Fish Cafe operating in Shelley Bay for fifteen years.
Owners John and Penny had devastated, but Sir Peter wants
to develop that land into something else. The site is
the old submarine barracks, the officers mess building that certainly
(21:43):
needs a lot of work done before it can be
turned into anything else. And perhaps this might be where
Wellington's White Well this movie museum may be based. There's
a consent for a museum of some sorts new housing,
perhaps to soften the blow. The director also announcing plans
to build a specialist veterinary hospital in Merrima in the
last few days. Certainly looks impressive.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
This that hospital.
Speaker 14 (22:05):
We know Sir Peter loves animals, even the extinct ones
like them one.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
So presumably there'll be a cafe somewhere at this new
complex right there, So you.
Speaker 14 (22:13):
Would have to think yeah, But it certainly sounds like
the owners this is it for good for them.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Okay, how's your weather?
Speaker 14 (22:21):
Some early drezzil clearing to find this morning, strong winds
sixteen the high central Draymax.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Thank you, I've written Evers in Auckland. Hey, Neva, good morning, jeez.
It's a pretty rough out in the city. Apparently it is.
Speaker 12 (22:31):
So we've been having a debate about this in the newsroom.
So what we're talking about here is that a survey's
found ninety one percent of respondents feel Auckland City center
rough sleepers, begging, affecting the business. So part of the
city surveyed one hundred and two business owners. This is
in and around Queen Street. More than seventy percent not
satisfied with the standard of Queen Streets cleanliness. They've highlighted
(22:54):
concerns about the drug dealing and also people defecating in
the street there. What the hell is going on? So
viv Beck is the chief executive, obviously these issues are urgent,
especially too, you know the city rail link opening next year,
We've got the convention Center. My thing was as well,
This is what we were talking about in the newsroom,
is that I haven't been down Queen Street for years,
(23:16):
you know, like I go around the outskirts, you know,
Commercial Bay Viaduct. But this is the issue, you know,
avoid it like the play do you avoid it?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Like the play friend of mine was telling me she
studies like architecture, and there's a course that they do
on sort of homelessness prevention. So they design seats. For example,
they wouldn't design a seat that that was you could
could lie on because of homeless They also designed things
like putting sprinklers in the roof so that at night
time they put the sprinklers on so you wouldn't have
(23:46):
homeless people congregating, making them light enough. This is a
pound of stuff that they're looking at doing now. Of
course that all just moves it down the road, doesn't it.
Speaker 12 (23:54):
Yeah, well that design it.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Mustn't solve the problem. But there you go.
Speaker 10 (23:57):
They're upset.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
They're upset. Sound weather today.
Speaker 12 (24:00):
Clearing in the afternoon, eighteen is a high maybe a
good day to walk down Queen Street.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
That's not neither, thank you, eighteen minutes away from six
News Talk said b Well. Well, well, Milford has done
it again. This is a clean sweep in twenty twenty five,

(25:07):
kebsaba to read the product disclosure statement and make the
switch today. Pray and Bridge Rich lots of texts coming
in on Auckland CBD. Ryan just listening to the talk
and reading an article on safety around the city. This
is from heart of the city. Had to go to
Auckland Hospital on Friday for a scam. It's exactly the
same around the park. This is around Grafton on the
(25:28):
roads leading up to the hospital. I know what you're
talking about. We were harassed by beggars for money on
the walk from the car park, along the way even
around the entry to the hospital. And if you ignore
them they say things like if you beat, beat beep,
I won't repeat. Do they have no shame praying on
the sick. It's just appalling. Just need to be banned.
(25:50):
It's ruining the city says Craig. We'll talk about that shortly.
It's now fourteen away from.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Six international correspondence with ends and insurance, peace of mind
for New Zealand business.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Kevin Gray with us give another week in another huge protest,
another fewerists.
Speaker 15 (26:09):
Indeed, right. So these are again almost five hundred people
now who have been arrested in London for supporting Palestine Action.
It is a prescribed terrorist group and supporting a terrorist
group like this can make you end up in prison.
The reason this has been different this weekend and garnered
headlines is because so many senior politicians and indeed police
(26:32):
officers had said please do not protest this weekend in
support of Palestine. Because of the sensitivity around the UK
following the attack on the synagogue, in Manchester at the
end of last week, in which two were killed and
the assailant, of course, was gone down by police as
the man attempted to crash into with a car and
(26:55):
then stab those attending a synagogue on the most holy
day in the Jewish calendar. However, the protesters took no notice.
They were out in force. More than a thousand of
them sat silently and around the center of London. The
police have arrested four hundred and ninety two. I think
that figure is going to rise, and many police saying, look,
we just can't do everything. We cannot give the synagogues
(27:18):
more security and also have to constantly arrest all these
people in London. So it looks like the government's changing
legislation to allow officers to take into account the cumulative
effect of protest after protest after protests, and may even
be able to order those protests to say no, you
can't come to London, You've got to go elsewhere to
(27:39):
make your voice hurt.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
In terms of the Tierra Tech itself, are we likely
to see any protests against the Muslim Are you saying
against the Muslim community there?
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Well?
Speaker 15 (27:48):
There was as well another protest which is a counter
protest to the one that I've just talked about, So
there is that aspect of it. In the meantime, three
remain in hospital following that attack. We now know of
the identities of the two that died, and indeed the
assailant himself and police counter terrorism Police granted warrants giving
(28:10):
extra time to question four people arrested on suspicion of
preparing terrorist ACKs following that attack on Thursday.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
All right, Kevin Gray are UK europe correspondent, appreciate your time.
Eleven minutes away from six Ryan, Government's tracking down on
youth beneficiaries. It's brought forth changes that mean from next
November eighteen to nineteen year olds won't get the dole
if their parents earn more than sixty five thousand dollars.
There's also a new one thousand dollar bonus if they
stay off the benefit for a year through the Community
(28:40):
Job Service. Fellow Riley, former welfare expert at Welfare Advisory
Expert Group member, joins me. Now, Hi, Phil, morning, Ryan.
Why do you think they've brought it forward.
Speaker 10 (28:50):
Or probably to demonstrate to the electorate coming into a
title election that they're under control on this. I suspect
also the budgetary situation is driving them of it, and
I think they want to demonstrate action, so fair enough,
that's politics.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Bo does it work.
Speaker 10 (29:07):
I think the carrot and stick approach is a good idea,
and certainly I think the public will support the idea
that if you're sitting with your parents and they're earning
some money, you shouldn't be you shouldn't be taking money
from the state. You should primarily focus on that parental support.
And I think that's probably sensible and hopefully it will
lead to more young people getting a job. The carrot
(29:27):
at the end of it, the thousand bucks are for
a year that was announced yesterday. Once again, I think
in principle that's a good idea, although I suspect the
scheme design may not actually be quite as helpful as
it otherwise might be. The international evidence around this is
that if you've been in a job for about six months,
you tend to be sticky in that job. That's the
international evidence. So you probably would have structured a payment
if I was the minister at about six months rather
(29:50):
than twelve, because just put yourself in the feet of
that young person, A year is a long time that
the young person's life. Well, though clearly a thousand bucks
is are fair, but a money for a young person
as well. The question is whether it will actually work that,
whether the year is just too long so that quite
big character play out. Maybe six months would have been better,
But you know that's just a scheme design issue, and
we'll see how it practically works out.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Currently, fifteen thy eighteen to nineteen year olds on the
doll do we know how many of them have parents
earning less than sixty five thousand dollars a year. I
guess it's the question.
Speaker 10 (30:21):
Well, it'll just be probably affection a function of the
population if you like. But bear in mind those people
on sixty five grand or that lower end of the
spectrum will often tend to be on government support themselves.
They might be on a family benefit, they might be
on some sort of hardship allowance already, so that there
will be a complex interplayer that will let that lower
(30:42):
end of how much government support both the parents will
get or the sole parent potentially and the young person
will get. So you know, that's all would be played out.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
I think we'll appreciate your time this one. We've got
I rany form a Welfare Expert Advisor Group member time
is nine to six new stalks.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
They'd be the word on the News of the day

Speaker 2 (31:10):
Gone six minutes away from six. Megan Markle made a
surprise appearance at the Paris Fashion Week over the weekend.
I don't know if you saw this, wearing a white
bed sheet that was wrapped several times around her and
went to a Balenciaga show. There you go, Fantastic news
net Yahoo. I think we mentioned him earlier in the show.
But he says should be in the next day or two,
(31:31):
not that the hostages will be released, but that he
might be able to announce something to do with the hostages.
Her Mass, for its part, will be disarmed in Gaza
and they'll be demilitarized. This is according to Netanyahu and Trump. However,
her Mass is so far agreed to the hostage thing,
but they have made no mention of the disarmament, no
(31:53):
mention of negotiations on the other points. So still clearly
some water to go under the bridge there. Mike in
the studio now for your Monday morning. Good morning, my
greeting's Ryan. Been to the city, lady to the CBD.
Speaker 11 (32:05):
I don't go to the city. I've said that many
many times. I go in every third Thursday to the
edge of the city for a haircut. But it's not downtown.
It's not a green, dark downtown. It's not mean dark downtown.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
I thought it had gotten a bit better. You know,
we have told you that. Mitchell told us that has
drops on the beat and sort of at five percent
increase and profile that sort of thing, but clearly it
hasn't done it.
Speaker 6 (32:27):
Well.
Speaker 11 (32:28):
No, you're talking about a mood though, And so if
I go to you and go, how does it feel?
So cops will give your stats.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
They'll say we.
Speaker 11 (32:34):
Gave you X number of arrests and there are why
number of people sleeping rough But if you go to
a local retailer and go does it feel good? Then
that's a completely different vibe, isn't it. I mean they
got a major turnaround.
Speaker 10 (32:45):
Hey.
Speaker 11 (32:45):
By the way, have you ever had employment troubles? Have
you ever been in some sort of employment issue with
your employers and they don't like you or you don't
like them, or you're leaving or whatever.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
I've always thought if I wasn't wanted somewhere, I wouldn't
want to be there.
Speaker 11 (32:58):
Very good attitude. So how many meetings? So I'm thinking
about knowles, Oh yeah, how many meetings do you need
to have? And for how long do those meetings need
to go before somebody somewhere goes?
Speaker 2 (33:12):
You know what this is?
Speaker 11 (33:13):
Clearly isn't working a past or or well given to
whatever it is you're asking or we need you to
do exos it.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Obviously there's a key small group of key players who
are just not budget.
Speaker 11 (33:25):
So that's that's the point. What I'm saying is so
you know what the problem is.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
So that's that.
Speaker 11 (33:29):
So as a leader, as a person who's running something,
you know what the problem is. You know that there's
your problem and there's your coach. So what are you
going to do about it? You're going to be a
leader or are you going to make a decision? Or
you're going to have yet more meetings? And how many
mores are you going to have? They're going to the er, now,
aren't they? That's going to be useful, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
I mean, and there's lawyers up the wazoo, so it's all.
Speaker 11 (33:46):
Yeah, I mean, how do you handle something this badly?
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Well, I don't know. I spoke's a probably an employment
law that you have to be you know. That's why
I've not said anything about it. You'd make a call.
They should make a call.
Speaker 8 (33:56):
You make it.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Look either, what's the.
Speaker 11 (33:58):
Point of being in charge of something if when a
decision is required you can't make it, make it. I mean,
what's the point anyway. I'll be talking about that another
matters Prime Minister, and.

That'd be good morning, Welcome to Monday, just gone six,
half to five, Getting kids off the doll this morning.
How are we going to clean up Queen's streets? Gavin
Gray on those protests in London and crime on bail.
That story we'll look at with Steve Cullen. All ahead
the agenda Monday, the sixth of October. Netanya, who reckons
the hostages should be freedom the next few days. Meanwhile,
(00:40):
nearly five hundred people have been handcuffed in London for
supporting a pro Palestine group there saying in Europe putent's.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Not the implication behind and the argument is that these
are hate archers.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
They are not.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
I have, as a juced person over sid nothing but
love and respect on these marches, and I've been attending
every week for two.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Years, staying in Europe. Now Potin's not living up on Ukraine.
Five did power counts the South of missiles and drones overnight?
Speaker 5 (01:12):
According to the President of Vladimir Zelensky, around five hundred
drones potentially fired at the country, along with possibly fifty
ballistic and cruised missiles. Now mainly the west of the
country was targeted. The city and the region of Leviv
in particular were hit.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Finally, this morning, the Broncos had defeated the Melbourne Storm
twenty six twenty two at the Inner l Grand Final
of the Core studiument Sydney. The start of the show
was fullback Race Walsh was Teckle after Teckle after try
stopping Tekele.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
That'd be nine two the number sexts me this morning,
Big oc Arcle coming this week by the way, and
hawksby obviously still they're still in charge. Even though we
knew that Anna's coming. She's gone back to Sweden, should
be packing all of her hiking gear into a suitcase
and moving down here for December first, which is her
first day, her first day with her feet under the desk.
(02:26):
Now the markets have pretty much fifty to fifty on this.
Everyone's kind of throwing their hands up in the air.
Are they going to do a double whammy or are
they going to do just a single twenty five basis
point cut On Wednesday, we're at three percent now, inflation
spiking again. But they should look through that couple of
doves at that last meeting. You remember who decided that,
hell with it, we're going for a double They were
(02:46):
voted down. But are they still there in the room?
Hawks By they reckon, it'll be a bit more cautious
because he's on the way out, will kind of go
with whatever the consensus is. Buckle has left his reply,
and he was quite hawkish. His replacement may just go
with the consensus too. So the question then becomes, what
will the consensus be. Well, we don't know because we're
(03:08):
not in the room, but the composition of the Monetary
Policy Committee has certainly changed now the day before the
quite influential NZI September quarter Business survey will be out.
That comes out the day before, and you wouldn't expect
them to make a decision based on that, but it
will be important this one. So we'll make sure you're
across that, you know, do we go it? Does it
(03:29):
show that we're in an even bigger hole than we
were in quarter two or that we haven't quite dug
out of it? Or are there signs of life? Do
we go single? Do we go double? Those will be
the questions before Arna even gets to work. Coming up next,
it is Crime on Bail, News Talk SEB, Views.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
And Views You Trust to start your day. It's early

Speaker 3 (03:57):
In one?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
News Talks B five twelve. Couple of good little bits
of news for your Monday morning. Two hundred and fifteen
million dollars were taken out a kiwisaver and early withdrawls.
This is for August now that's first home buys and
for people who are struggling with hardship, which means that
it is up seventeen percent then a year prior, but
it is going up at a slower rate. In fact,
(04:18):
hardship has now either fallen or been flat since its peak,
which was in twenty twenty three, So that's a good thing.
The other good thing to know this morning is oil
APEC Plus have decided in their infinite wisdom to push
out some more barrels in extra one hundred and thirty
seven thousand barrels a day in November. This will match
(04:39):
their increase for October. They are trying to regain some
market share. The Americans have taken a bit from them.
The Americans price down thirteen percent this year because of
the increased production. They're worried about a glutch. And if
you're worried about a glutch, that means good news for
the price of oil. So that's all happening this month
and next News.
Speaker 7 (04:57):
Talks their b Spray and Bridge.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
We've got new numbers out this morning on crime. While
on bail, Ministry of Justice figures show convictions jumped by
nearly twelve thousand between twenty fifteen and twenty twenty four.
Homicides doubled from ten to twenty five over that time,
with court backlogs taking up much of the blame. Steve Callen,
criminal lawyer, with us this morning. Steve, Good morning, Good morning.
So what is this telling us?
Speaker 8 (05:22):
Well, the figures are a little bit confusing, to be honest,
There's been a ten year period. There's no doubt that
there are increases occurring in crimes, but then everything else
is going up as well. You'd want to be a
praised of the demographics of society. Are we getting an
increase in the proportion of youth? Are we getting an
(05:43):
increase in the proportion of young people before the courts?
Are there more gang members? We know that there are
more drug abusers. It's a concerning statistic, but in the
absence of more information, it's hard to derive any really
concrete decisions from it.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
A bit more context, doesn't it, Steve.
Speaker 8 (06:01):
What are you saying, Well, certainly we're seeing that people
are sometimes noncompliant with bail, and they certainly do go
on to commit further offending. This release talks about fears
that the offense is that people are on bail go
and commit somehow pertain to existing victims. Well, I haven't
(06:23):
seen any particular evidence of that. They do go on
to commit more offenses, but that's just the nature of
the beast. I'm afraid when they deal with criminal law.
The period they're talking about spans, for example, the period
when we had COVID, when we had ram raids. What
we are seeing, I think, in my own view, is
that there's been a bit of a decline in respect
(06:43):
for law and order and institutions that seems to be worldwide.
It's come through social media and it seems to be
almost reflected in some of the people's attitudes towards bail
were the less of a mind to take it seriously.
But let's not forget over eighty percent of people who
are on electronically monitored bail, for example, are compliant.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
If you get bail once and then stuff, you'll bail up,
do you get bail again.
Speaker 8 (07:12):
It's not automatic. It needs a legitimate reason to explain
why there were difficulties with bail, and then the courts
would look at all the surrounding circumstances. It's not a
total prohibition, but it's most certainly taken into account in
later hearings. And yes, it will impact on your ability
to get bailed that you've breached to bail in the past.
(07:33):
And what's of even more important is that if people
are on electronically monitored sentences and violate those, then there's
a higher likelihood that they're not going to receive a
similar sentence. Are in electronically monitored sentence when it comes
to sentencing, so they'll face imprisonment.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Well that makes sense to me, Steve, thanks for that,
Steve Cullen. Criminal Royal time is sixteen after five news Talk,
said b.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Ryan Bridge on early edition with r V Supercenter explore
RV's accessories and servicing all in one news talks.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
That be it is eighteen minutes after five. So one
hundred and twenty two thousand people become eligible today for
free screening in their first year. This is Bowe's screening
been lowered from sixty down to fifty eight years. This
is for Northland, Auckland and South Auckland. The rest of
the North Island is going to follow in March next year,
(08:26):
and then everybody else after that. By twenty twenty seven
it should be fifty eight everywhere. Now you might have
heard in the news there's a big debate about some
ethnic groups were allowed to have their screening done I
think from the age of fifty much earlier than the
rest of the general population. And people have said, well,
and that's been taken away, so that's now going to
be fifty eight for everyone, And people are saying, well,
(08:48):
that's not fear. The Ministry of Health data shows that
you will save more lives overall by making this change
to fifty eight for everybody than you would by having
bespoke tailored approaches by ethnicity. So what is the Ministry
of Health's job? Is it to keep the biggest number
(09:10):
of people healthy and happy as possible? And if so,
then is that not right? The right call? Nineteen minutes
after five, graham Bridge great in her old Grand Final
over at the weekend. Let's talk about Steve Walsh. What
a restaurant for rather what an amazing game he had?
Speaker 9 (09:28):
Look right, I'm a bit bleary eye this morning because
I did stay up and watch it. It was just
so compelling and Brisbane really earned that one. I mean
twenty six twenty two, and I mean they talk about
Reese lightning, don't they, And he was everywhere. It was
the most I mean they talk about as one of
the most influential Grand Final performances, and of course taking
the Clive Churchill Medal. I mean, I don't know what's
(09:50):
in the toilet water at Reese Walsh's place, but it
is something special because on defense, on attack, he was
setting up everything and he talked about them. You know,
you want to hear in the balls there with the
moneyball he'd delivered at one point there. It was he
just set it all up in phenomenal performance from Brismon
and Melbourne finishing the second again as a result of that.
Speaker 7 (10:10):
But pretty hard to turn that down.
Speaker 9 (10:11):
I mean Melbourne were up twenty to twelve yes at
halftime and Brisbane of getting scoreless in the second half
and added on fourteen points I mean whilst making the
try saving.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Tackle effectively as well. Yeah, it was.
Speaker 7 (10:24):
It was quite phenomenal.
Speaker 9 (10:26):
And I mean they'd lost being Hunt to concussion as well,
Skipper Adam Reynolds had limped off with the carpentery in
the second half, so yeah, they had it all to
play for.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Yeah, and especially after all the stuff that's been going
on in his personal life, his daughter and all that
sort of stuff.
Speaker 9 (10:42):
So just that, I mean a lot of the time
with sports people it's had ability to compartmentalize, and people
in any professional image when things are going on and
they're able to just put it to one side and
still do their job in that fashion.
Speaker 7 (10:55):
So yeah, phenomenal to watch.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
How about that was? Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 9 (10:58):
So taking that with the new South Wales taking it
out in terms of the what we call it the
second tier. If you like so yes, I promised there
for the Warriors at that at that second level.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
And the we did it.
Speaker 9 (11:13):
But MESSI yeah, this is relatively clinical in a way,
and that they just did what they needed to do.
I thought just from watching that game, just piecing it
together in the wet there in Perth. I think the
Rugby Championship probably finished the way it should have done,
those so Africa winning it of course, with that narrow
victory over Argentina twigging them, but I think probably looking
(11:34):
ahead now, I'm looking forward to seeing the Abits with
that potential to take a Grand Slam. That always adds
another element to an end of year tour if you
can beat all the home nations and that's all coming up,
starting with the Ireland and the States.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Yeah, fantastic looking forward to that.
Speaker 10 (11:50):
Now.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Dame Knowles, this is just going getting ridiculous now, so
she's out for the for the rest of the season now,
Slation Cup lawyers are involved, and it looks like the
only place left for it to go might be the
employment relations or things.
Speaker 9 (12:05):
That's that's messy, that is, I mean, I think that
was the one chance to resolve it, and now I
just can't see that getting any healthier.
Speaker 7 (12:13):
Really, it seems quite quite bitter.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
What do you how do you read into that? Do
you think that there must be a hardcore group of
players who are just dead against her that are holding
on There must be otherwise neckble New Zealand surely would.
Speaker 7 (12:26):
Just oh yeah, for sure.
Speaker 9 (12:27):
Otherwise you would have resolution and have compromise, and you
would meet somewhere in the middle and there would be
not necessarily a mere culple, but a resolution that you
would I negotiate together about what had gone on and etc.
Speaker 7 (12:43):
But who's to know behind the scenes what's what's really
gone on.
Speaker 9 (12:46):
It seems to be fairly complicated at the negotiation table there,
and it's going to continue and go to another level
by this out of it.
Speaker 7 (12:52):
But that is messy. Indeed.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
If one, you've got an upboat for us this morning, Oh.
Speaker 7 (12:57):
Yeah, that was well.
Speaker 9 (12:58):
Construction Championships been sided with McLaren taking it out, albeit
some internal bickering between past three and Lando Norris in
that regard. But George Russell has won the race for
Mercedes extra STARp and second, Liam Lawson fifteenth. But yeah,
terrific even on the constructors front. But that's only going
to add to the interest now in the actual overall
drivers championship between.
Speaker 7 (13:19):
Those two trying to take it out.
Speaker 9 (13:21):
I think it was some debate over over passing on
a on a on the first lap, et cetera, as
the someone sort of given back their advantage. Well, well Norris,
Norris was third past three fourth, so I think it's
only twenty two points between those two at the top
of the standing.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
So all to drive for brilliants will see that. We'll
hear ready to come there you go absolutely. It is
twenty three minutes away from five. You're on News Talk
CIVB and coming up next. Something that caught my eye,
the working that really irked me. It's about protests.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Next the Early Edition Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered
by News.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Talks B Monday morning on News Talks Abit's twenty six
minutes after five. Freedom is a thing I think we
can all love about living in this country and living
in a country like ours. It's democratic and it's pretty liberal.
We fight, we protest, we argue, we debate, but unlike
most of the rest of the world, we don't get physical.
You know, we don't go out and kill each other
(14:17):
in the name of our beliefs, we express ourselves and
then we try and find a solution. Look around the
world section of the newspaper this morning, from the Middle
East to Africa, to Europe, to Georgia to parts of America,
even your seat places falling apart of the seams, or
freedom being crushed into a one thousand tiny pieces. We
have in this country, for the most part, standards about
(14:39):
how we do things. We have boundaries and that I
think was crossed at the weekend protest is taking it
too far as they did live streaming from outside the
personal home of a member of Parliament, a cabinet minister,
their own personal home, where their partner lives, where their children,
(15:00):
i'm sure, visit grandchildren, where family friends stop buy for
a cup of tea. It's their sanctuary. Everyone who's got
a home knows what that feels like. You know, they're
family photos on the walls, they've got junk mail in
the door. It's someone's home. And some genius thought it
would be a great idea to get a mob outside
a senior minister's home at the weekend, at nighttime and
(15:22):
start yelling. It is not a good idea. It has
never been a good idea and it never will be
they published his address. You might think you appear harmless
with your flags and your balaklavas and you're yelling with
your masks on your faces, but not all people outside
of politics share this view. You can look scary, intimidating
(15:44):
and threatening. So please please carry on protesting. We're all
free to do so, but perhaps next time stop and
think about how your actions might be affecting people around you,
people who aren't in politic or making decisions. And I
think actually today you should take a good hard look
(16:05):
in the mirror, get a pen in a paper and
write a letter to that minister to say sorry. Bryan Bridge,
twenty eight minutes after five newsbooks said, but everyone know
a guy called Bad Bunny. He's apparently performing at the
Super Bowl. I'll play you a bit of music of
his in just a second, But this is what he's
had to say on SNL Live. He was hosting it
(16:26):
at the weekend because Christy Gnome, who's the Homeland Security Secretary.
She says, ICE will be there looking for any illegal immigrants.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
You might not know these, but I'm doing the Super
Bowl half done show.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
And I'm very happy.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
I'm very happy, and I think everyone is happy about it,
even even Fox News that Bunny's.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Favorite musician and he should be the next president. Now
bad Bunny is thirty one years old and he's a
Puerto Rican. As Donald Trump would say, this is a
little bit of what he sounds like. For those unfamiliar
have listened to his music, No Alec.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Jarvis, Alec Dums, Alex Alex.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
So it's going to be one of those if you're
a super Bowl fan this year. Twenty nine minutes after

Speaker 12 (17:59):
In one used She's always changing out of work.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Good morning, it is coming up two twenty four minutes
away from six year old News Talks. They'd be will
get to our UK europe correspondent shortly. Lots of protests
in London over the weekend and lots of arrests as
a result, and also the young people here, the teenagers
on the dole getting a bit of a kick up
the jaxi by the government. I love this stash between
China and the UK over their embassies. Everyone likes to
(18:26):
have a flash new embassy these days, and they both
want one in each other's respective countries. So China to
get its Mega ministry built, which, by the way, I
had to look at how much they'd spent on the
land alone. The Chinese had spent two hundred and fifty
five million pounds for the land alone. It's two hundred
and fifteen thousand square feet of land. They can't start
(18:50):
construction on their mega embassy yet for planning reasons. As
you can imagine, it's England. So what they're doing to
try and put the pressure on is turning the taps
off at the British embassy in Beijing. So these guys,
these British diplomats, are sitting there in apparently freezing cold
buildings with no running water some of them, and are
(19:10):
even having to use a squash court as temporary officers.
So there you go, twenty three minutes away from six
Grayan bridge reporters around the country. Colum and Dunedin this morning, Colum,
Good morning morning. Right, are you guys lagging behind on voting?
Speaker 10 (19:26):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Correct? As of Friday night.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
In fact, just fifteen point two percent of eligible voters
here in Dunedin had cast a ballot. So that's the
lowest rate nationwide fifteen point two percent, matched only by
Bay of Plenty Regional Council. And it's a sharp drop
from what was the final voting numbers from twenty twenty two.
Heresn Eden recorded the third highest turnout of any of
the metropolitan centers at more than forty eight percent, so.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
A long way to go to match that.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Queenstown Ryan's also trailing behind in the voting the turnout
they're sitting at fifteen point three percent so far. Local
Government New Zealand NOOS says overall national voting numbers are
tracking above the last elections.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Right, but still lower than fifty percent by the end
of it. How's your where there?
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Colum starts off fine today late afternoon evening rain northwest
is today the high eighteen cheers.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Thank you Claire in christ Church. Take Claire, You've got
some homelessness news for us this morning.
Speaker 13 (20:23):
I do indeeds. Look, this is a story of about
ten or so people who have been living in some
tents and campus and even sheds on the grounds of
Avonside Holy Trinity Church car park that's be forced to
leave over the weekend following several complaints dating back to
last year. Many of the residents, though, have still got
nowhere to go and have ended up camping in the
city's red zone. Community advocates and council candidate Hailey goo
(20:47):
Letter says an abatement order isn't going to solve homelessness,
but rather shifts the problem elsewhere. She says pushing people
into the red zone is simply not a good outcome.
There's a lack of support and infrastructure there. There's also
safety issues. She believes there's scope for some transitional housing
to be put into the red zone, which could be
a longer term solution.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
All right, how's your weather?
Speaker 13 (21:10):
Mainly finds and cloud increasing the south afternoon strong south
of easterlies, then northeasteries. The high will be sixteen.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Thank you? Clear? Hey Max?
Speaker 10 (21:18):
Good morning?
Speaker 2 (21:19):
What's the Paeder Jackson up to now?
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 14 (21:22):
Story over the weekend. S Peter Jackson, who of course
owns a good deal of property and land on the
Mirrormar Peninsula, forcing the closure of the iconic well perhaps
Chocolate Fish Cafe operating in Shelley Bay for fifteen years.
Owners John and Penny had devastated, but Sir Peter wants
to develop that land into something else. The site is
the old submarine barracks, the officers mess building that certainly
(21:43):
needs a lot of work done before it can be
turned into anything else. And perhaps this might be where
Wellington's White Well this movie museum may be based. There's
a consent for a museum of some sorts new housing,
perhaps to soften the blow. The director also announcing plans
to build a specialist veterinary hospital in Merrima in the
last few days. Certainly looks impressive.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
This that hospital.
Speaker 14 (22:05):
We know Sir Peter loves animals, even the extinct ones
like them one.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
So presumably there'll be a cafe somewhere at this new
complex right there, So you.
Speaker 14 (22:13):
Would have to think yeah, But it certainly sounds like
the owners this is it for good for them.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Okay, how's your weather?
Speaker 14 (22:21):
Some early drezzil clearing to find this morning, strong winds
sixteen the high central Draymax.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Thank you, I've written Evers in Auckland. Hey, Neva, good morning, jeez.
It's a pretty rough out in the city. Apparently it is.
Speaker 12 (22:31):
So we've been having a debate about this in the newsroom.
So what we're talking about here is that a survey's
found ninety one percent of respondents feel Auckland City center
rough sleepers, begging, affecting the business. So part of the
city surveyed one hundred and two business owners. This is
in and around Queen Street. More than seventy percent not
satisfied with the standard of Queen Streets cleanliness. They've highlighted
(22:54):
concerns about the drug dealing and also people defecating in
the street there. What the hell is going on? So
viv Beck is the chief executive, obviously these issues are urgent,
especially too, you know the city rail link opening next year,
We've got the convention Center. My thing was as well,
This is what we were talking about in the newsroom,
is that I haven't been down Queen Street for years,
(23:16):
you know, like I go around the outskirts, you know,
Commercial Bay Viaduct. But this is the issue, you know,
avoid it like the play do you avoid it?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Like the play friend of mine was telling me she
studies like architecture, and there's a course that they do
on sort of homelessness prevention. So they design seats. For example,
they wouldn't design a seat that that was you could
could lie on because of homeless They also designed things
like putting sprinklers in the roof so that at night
time they put the sprinklers on so you wouldn't have
(23:46):
homeless people congregating, making them light enough. This is a
pound of stuff that they're looking at doing now. Of
course that all just moves it down the road, doesn't it.
Speaker 12 (23:54):
Yeah, well that design it.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Mustn't solve the problem. But there you go.
Speaker 10 (23:57):
They're upset.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
They're upset. Sound weather today.
Speaker 12 (24:00):
Clearing in the afternoon, eighteen is a high maybe a
good day to walk down Queen Street.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
That's not neither, thank you, eighteen minutes away from six
News Talk said b Well. Well, well, Milford has done

(25:07):
kebsaba to read the product disclosure statement and make the
switch today. Pray and Bridge Rich lots of texts coming
in on Auckland CBD. Ryan just listening to the talk
and reading an article on safety around the city. This
is from heart of the city. Had to go to
Auckland Hospital on Friday for a scam. It's exactly the
same around the park. This is around Grafton on the
(25:28):
roads leading up to the hospital. I know what you're
talking about. We were harassed by beggars for money on
the walk from the car park, along the way even
around the entry to the hospital. And if you ignore
them they say things like if you beat, beat beep,
I won't repeat. Do they have no shame praying on
the sick. It's just appalling. Just need to be banned.
(25:50):
It's ruining the city says Craig. We'll talk about that shortly.
It's now fourteen away from.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Six international correspondence with ends and insurance, peace of mind
for New Zealand business.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Kevin Gray with us give another week in another huge protest,
another fewerists.
Speaker 15 (26:09):
Indeed, right. So these are again almost five hundred people
now who have been arrested in London for supporting Palestine Action.
It is a prescribed terrorist group and supporting a terrorist
group like this can make you end up in prison.
The reason this has been different this weekend and garnered
headlines is because so many senior politicians and indeed police
(26:32):
officers had said please do not protest this weekend in
support of Palestine. Because of the sensitivity around the UK
following the attack on the synagogue, in Manchester at the
end of last week, in which two were killed and
the assailant, of course, was gone down by police as
the man attempted to crash into with a car and
(26:55):
then stab those attending a synagogue on the most holy
day in the Jewish calendar. However, the protesters took no notice.
They were out in force. More than a thousand of
them sat silently and around the center of London. The
police have arrested four hundred and ninety two. I think
that figure is going to rise, and many police saying, look,
we just can't do everything. We cannot give the synagogues
(27:18):
more security and also have to constantly arrest all these
people in London. So it looks like the government's changing
legislation to allow officers to take into account the cumulative
effect of protest after protest after protests, and may even
be able to order those protests to say no, you
can't come to London, You've got to go elsewhere to
(27:39):
make your voice hurt.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
In terms of the Tierra Tech itself, are we likely
to see any protests against the Muslim Are you saying
against the Muslim community there?
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Well?
Speaker 15 (27:48):
There was as well another protest which is a counter
protest to the one that I've just talked about, So
there is that aspect of it. In the meantime, three
remain in hospital following that attack. We now know of
the identities of the two that died, and indeed the
assailant himself and police counter terrorism Police granted warrants giving
(28:10):
extra time to question four people arrested on suspicion of
preparing terrorist ACKs following that attack on Thursday.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
All right, Kevin Gray are UK europe correspondent, appreciate your time.
Eleven minutes away from six Ryan, Government's tracking down on
youth beneficiaries. It's brought forth changes that mean from next
November eighteen to nineteen year olds won't get the dole
if their parents earn more than sixty five thousand dollars.
There's also a new one thousand dollar bonus if they
stay off the benefit for a year through the Community
(28:40):
Job Service. Fellow Riley, former welfare expert at Welfare Advisory
Expert Group member, joins me. Now, Hi, Phil, morning, Ryan.
Why do you think they've brought it forward.
Speaker 10 (28:50):
Or probably to demonstrate to the electorate coming into a
title election that they're under control on this. I suspect
also the budgetary situation is driving them of it, and
I think they want to demonstrate action, so fair enough,
that's politics.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Bo does it work.
Speaker 10 (29:07):
I think the carrot and stick approach is a good idea,
and certainly I think the public will support the idea
that if you're sitting with your parents and they're earning
some money, you shouldn't be you shouldn't be taking money
from the state. You should primarily focus on that parental support.
And I think that's probably sensible and hopefully it will
lead to more young people getting a job. The carrot
(29:27):
at the end of it, the thousand bucks are for
a year that was announced yesterday. Once again, I think
in principle that's a good idea, although I suspect the
scheme design may not actually be quite as helpful as
it otherwise might be. The international evidence around this is
that if you've been in a job for about six months,
you tend to be sticky in that job. That's the
international evidence. So you probably would have structured a payment
if I was the minister at about six months rather
(29:50):
than twelve, because just put yourself in the feet of
that young person, A year is a long time that
the young person's life. Well, though clearly a thousand bucks
is are fair, but a money for a young person
as well. The question is whether it will actually work that,
whether the year is just too long so that quite
big character play out. Maybe six months would have been better,
But you know that's just a scheme design issue, and
we'll see how it practically works out.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Currently, fifteen thy eighteen to nineteen year olds on the
doll do we know how many of them have parents
earning less than sixty five thousand dollars a year. I
guess it's the question.
Speaker 10 (30:21):
Well, it'll just be probably affection a function of the
population if you like. But bear in mind those people
on sixty five grand or that lower end of the
spectrum will often tend to be on government support themselves.
They might be on a family benefit, they might be
on some sort of hardship allowance already, so that there
will be a complex interplayer that will let that lower
(30:42):
end of how much government support both the parents will
get or the sole parent potentially and the young person
will get. So you know, that's all would be played out.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
I think we'll appreciate your time this one. We've got
I rany form a Welfare Expert Advisor Group member time
is nine to six new stalks.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
Gone six minutes away from six. Megan Markle made a
surprise appearance at the Paris Fashion Week over the weekend.
I don't know if you saw this, wearing a white
bed sheet that was wrapped several times around her and
went to a Balenciaga show. There you go, Fantastic news
net Yahoo. I think we mentioned him earlier in the show.
But he says should be in the next day or two,
(31:31):
not that the hostages will be released, but that he
might be able to announce something to do with the hostages.
Her Mass, for its part, will be disarmed in Gaza
and they'll be demilitarized. This is according to Netanyahu and Trump. However,
her Mass is so far agreed to the hostage thing,
but they have made no mention of the disarmament, no
(31:53):
mention of negotiations on the other points. So still clearly
some water to go under the bridge there. Mike in
the studio now for your Monday morning. Good morning, my
greeting's Ryan. Been to the city, lady to the CBD.
Speaker 11 (32:05):
I don't go to the city. I've said that many
many times. I go in every third Thursday to the
edge of the city for a haircut. But it's not downtown.
It's not a green, dark downtown. It's not mean dark downtown.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
I thought it had gotten a bit better. You know,
we have told you that. Mitchell told us that has
drops on the beat and sort of at five percent
increase and profile that sort of thing, but clearly it
hasn't done it.
Speaker 6 (32:27):
Well.
Speaker 11 (32:28):
No, you're talking about a mood though, And so if
I go to you and go, how does it feel?
So cops will give your stats.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
They'll say we.
Speaker 11 (32:34):
Gave you X number of arrests and there are why
number of people sleeping rough But if you go to
a local retailer and go does it feel good? Then
that's a completely different vibe, isn't it. I mean they
got a major turnaround.
Speaker 10 (32:45):
Hey.
Speaker 11 (32:45):
By the way, have you ever had employment troubles? Have
you ever been in some sort of employment issue with
your employers and they don't like you or you don't
like them, or you're leaving or whatever.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
I've always thought if I wasn't wanted somewhere, I wouldn't
want to be there.
Speaker 11 (32:58):
Very good attitude. So how many meetings? So I'm thinking
about knowles, Oh yeah, how many meetings do you need
to have? And for how long do those meetings need
to go before somebody somewhere goes?
Speaker 2 (33:12):
You know what this is?
Speaker 11 (33:13):
Clearly isn't working a past or or well given to
whatever it is you're asking or we need you to
do exos it.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Obviously there's a key small group of key players who
are just not budget.
Speaker 11 (33:25):
So that's that's the point. What I'm saying is so
you know what the problem is.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
So that's that.
Speaker 11 (33:29):
So as a leader, as a person who's running something,
you know what the problem is. You know that there's
your problem and there's your coach. So what are you
going to do about it? You're going to be a
leader or are you going to make a decision? Or
you're going to have yet more meetings? And how many
mores are you going to have? They're going to the er, now,
aren't they? That's going to be useful, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
I mean, and there's lawyers up the wazoo, so it's all.
Speaker 11 (33:46):
Yeah, I mean, how do you handle something this badly?
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Well, I don't know. I spoke's a probably an employment
law that you have to be you know. That's why
I've not said anything about it. You'd make a call.
They should make a call.
Speaker 8 (33:56):
You make it.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Look either, what's the.
Speaker 11 (33:58):
Point of being in charge of something if when a
decision is required you can't make it, make it. I mean,
what's the point anyway. I'll be talking about that another

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
