Speaker 1 (00:01):
The issues, the interviews and the insight. Ryan Bridge on
earlier ship with r the Supercenter, explore r V successories
and servicing more than one news talks.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
That'd be good morning, Happy Friday, the government's latest push
to get more gas. This morning, Vincent mcavinie in the
UK for US, Tony Johnson on the Barretts and Scotland
this weekend, and we'll head to the US as well.
This tariff court case is looking rather interesting and quite
important for US down under the agenda. It is Friday,
the seventh of November. This big typhoon, Kilmelgi they call
(00:34):
it hitting Vietnam right now. It's apparently Asia's most powerful
tropical storm this year, left one hundred and fourteen dead
in the Philippines.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
It really reminded me of scene some what we've seen
tsunamis in the past. I mean enormously powerful surges of
water going filling up the streets, lifting up cars in
their wake, even shipping containers and destroying smaller homes. Nound
of the Philippines towns have these rather sort of flimsy
shanty towns, and the poor and a helpe neighborho some
of those neighborhoods have been completely wiped out.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
And it's that time again where everybody who cares about
the climate change issue jumps on a plane, burns a
bunch of avgas across the globe and heads to Brazil.
For Brazil this year for Cop thirty. Kirs Starmer is there.
He's talking today, so's Prince William.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
The leaders of China in there, and the US, together
responsible for roughly half of world emissions, will not be present.
The US is withdrawing from the Paris Agreement entirely, and
the UN has conceded that the latest round of carbon
cutting commitments made by the countries of the world full stort.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Now let's go to Paris. You know the big jewelry
heist at the Louver. Guess what the password was. This
is a French newspaper reporting what the security password was
during the big heist. Wait for it, Lou that he.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Is pretty much the same as just having it as
password or.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
One, two, three four. The audit also revealing the museum
we're still using security software from two thousand and three.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
That he's a very old version of Windows.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
The only hard thing about that is figure out how
to spell it. I suppose though someone who's with French
would presumably know it is eight minutes after five.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
The first word on the News of the Day Early
edition with Ryan Bridge shed r V Supercenter explore r
v's accessories and servicing all in.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
One news talks. Be great to have your company this morning.
Flip me your text nine two nine two love hearing
from you? Well mostly better election day next year? What
date do you reckon it's going to happen now? I
am picking Saturday, seventh of November simply because the House
sitting program, the way it works, your odds are probably
(02:47):
on and Luxon wants to go late because the economy
is still shugared. We've seen the you know, you saw
the unplumed ployment number this week. Not great is that?
So you need to turn the ship around. And he's
going to spend some time over sight thinking about this.
His polling has been sliding since the last election. We
know this. The Left block, despite all the scandal, the
drama and the lack of policy, is pulling ahead, albeit
(03:10):
by a whisker. I think this election campaign is going
to be different for a couple of reasons. One, there's
essentially a capital gains tax on the ballot, and this
has happened before. Of course, Golf tried it in twenty eleven.
Others have tried it. I was there when GoF tried
it did not end well, But this one seems different.
There isn't the same level of outrage brewing, not that
(03:31):
I have seen anyway this time around, which maybe because
it's a lot narrower in focus. You tell me number two,
it's all going to be about Australia. We will talk
as much about Australia as we do New Zealand. There
are at least six hundred and twenty thousand people born
in New Zealand who now live in Australia. That's half
the population of the South Island. We lost a net
(03:54):
thirty thousand people in the last year. So I think
you can expect to see the opposition MP's doing press
conferences from Eden Park to illustrate the trans Tasman human deficit.
But also I think we could see our first campaign
event for a major party held in another country. Usually
(04:14):
politicians shelve their overseas travel plans months out from an election,
but the sheer number of key we vote is now
living on the GC could open this up as a
genuine battleground. I can see Chippy running an event over there,
jumping on a plane, bit of a stunt, bit of
a photo op. Look, everyone's leaving because of Luckso the
question then becomes, who would they vote for. Do they
(04:34):
blame Hipkins for taking this country's economic engine and driving
it straight into a brick wall like thud or Luxen
for failing to fix it up, you know, get it
to a panel, bey to a quick smart Either way,
this time next year, I think we'll be talking as
much about the country on the other side of the
ditch as we do this one. Ryan Breds b we'd
(04:56):
love your thoughts on that nine two nine two the
numbers text I've just gone e live minutes after five
the love. There's more juice to be squeezed from the
Louver story yet, I'll tell you more about that.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Next on your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition
with Ryan Bridge and Are the Supercenter explore are these
accessories and servicing Paul than one News Talk Sa'd be.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
By PO thirteen. Good morning Ryan. As usual, there's no
follow up in the news on the Far North businesses
and families that have again had no power for many hours.
This is twenty three thousand people, says Brian. Brian, good morning,
nice to hear from you. We are looking into that
for you. I saw that yesterday. She last night had
sent it to the producers from our Herald show and said, hey,
we should just check on this because it's the second
(05:43):
time now you've had power out in this area in
a week and they don't really know apparently at this
point what the causes. So that's a bit of a worry.
We'll look into it for you, Brian, Ryan. If they
live in Australia, they should be allowed to vote. They
shouldn't be allowed to vote here. See, this is the problem.
You can I think the rule is you have to
(06:03):
have been in New Zealand in the last three years,
and then even though you're living abroad, even though you're
living in Australia or Britain or whatever, you can vote
here very quickly. On the louver. You know, I mentioned
the security The pin code was Louve. Well. They've done
an auditors report on the finances as well. They've basically
been scrimping on maintenance. They've spent one hundred million euros
(06:26):
on art. This is between twenty eighteen and twenty twenty
four one hundred million on art acquisitions, twenty six million
on maintenance and security. They had an eighty three million
dollar security upgrade plan. Guess how much of that they
spent three million? So you can see why someone got in.
Apparently there are two exhibition rooms. One of them only
(06:47):
had sixty percent CCTV coverage. One of the rooms seventy
five percent of the artworks lacked security. So is it
any surprise someone scaled a ladder and stole the Crown Jewels?
Ryan Bridge, it's gone five point fifteen. You're on news Talk,
said be The All Blacks continue their Grand Slam Tour
this weekend. They're up against Scotland at Murrayfield, kicking off
(07:09):
four ten Sunday, our time. They haven't lost to the
Scots in one hundred and seventeen years. Doesn't mean this
won't be the first time. Tony Johnson's rugby commentator with
us this morning, Tony, good morning. Oh right, Jeffy, how
important is the Murrayfield anniversary?
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Oh right, Sorry god, I've got the wrong place, Ryan, Sorry.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Mate, Okay, no worries.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
I've been doing so many different interviews since I've been
over here and I'm still got gentleg made a my thousands.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Apologies, Tony, it's no problem. You can call me whatever
you like.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
I know I'm going to definitely call you right. You
can call me anything you like now after I've done that.
What a great way to start today.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
How you're up at all hours? How important is the
Murrayfield anniversary to the Scots?
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Well, it's very important. I'm making a big thing of it,
and there's a real buzz around Edinburgh. I've been here
just a couple of days, but boy, there's some excitement.
Although having said that, it's a bit tempered now. The
Scotland team has been named today and they're missing a
couple of really good players. Douhann Pandermerva there, big South
(08:15):
African born left winger, is not there and one of
the front rowers, Xander Vegason, is out as well. So
everyone was thinking this is going to be a real
threat to scott and I still think they will be,
but not quite as much as was initially anticipated because
of those defections.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
What's happening with the Barretts is Scott's going to be
back on the field. What's going on?
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Well, okay, so Jordie has gone back to New Zealand.
He had a knee and a high ankle strain, so
that that happened very early on in the game in Chicago,
so unfortunately for him, he's gone back to his end.
Scott got a very deep laceration in his lower leg,
but that's healing really well and so they think he'll
be back for the test at Quicken Him next week
(09:00):
and they'll need him for that too. And meanwhile, Body,
who had a pretty tough time of it, took a
couple of big knocks in the game in Chicago, but
he's bounced back really well from that. In fact, he shopped,
he was telling us on the day off yesterday, shot
one of his best ever round of golf at one
of the flash courses here. So he's obviously and good Nick.
(09:20):
So yeah, at the moment, it's a very rare thing
that there's only one Barrack going to be in the
your back team this weekend.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Very weird indeed, but we look forward to seeing the game. Tony,
appreciate your time this morning. That's Tony Johnson rugby commentator.
Time is seventeen minutes half to five shot them. Updated
data used to outdated numbers. This is World Line Payments network,
so it tells you about who's swiping what on the cards.
Retail's still not going nuts in the shops, are we,
which is a worry for them, especially heading into Christmas.
(09:48):
People do like to get in early. Not myself, but
you know my mom does. Are they shopping like they
normally would or are we at least spending more than
we were last year? Well spending was up point three
for October from the same month a year ago, but
that's far lower than you can be accounted for by inflation.
Only Nelson and Otago have spending rising more than inflation. Auckland,
(10:14):
you're down zero point one percent, Wellington down three point
seven percent, christ Church up just zero point six percent.
So are we going to go hard with our shopping
in the next few months or are we going to
be penny pinching this Christmas? Saving a bit nothing? Frivolous
numbers aren't looking that great at this point. Eighteen after
five News Talk, SADB.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
News and Views you trust to start your day. It's
early EDISHIP with Ryan Bridge and r V Supercenter explore
r VS accessories and servicing.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Fall in one News Talks at b five twenty on
News Talks, said b it's interesting what's happening in the
Supreme Court because it actually is relevant to us. Most
of the news we bring you from America actually has
no bearing on our daily lives. However, this story is different.
And a lot of the conservative justices that Trump so
Trump's gone and girls that he put on the Supreme
Court are now openly in the court questioning the rationale
(11:08):
for the tariffs that he's imposed on everyone, not that
some of them aren't going to be considered valid, and
you know, he's using the powers that he's got, or
correctly all that sort of stuff. It's more to do
with why has every country basically been whacked with tariffs?
How can you justify that because there's a limited scopes
essentially a taxation, and there's a limited scope for the
(11:30):
president to come in and unilaterally just you know, tax everyone,
which is basically what he's done. So anyway, we'll watch
that with interest. Some of those conservative ones seem to
be turning against him. Back to cop in Brazil, here's
old Prince William just a couple of minutes ago.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
We must ask ourselves, what legacy do we wish to
leave because the impact of all our choices will be
felt by us all around the world, in the city
of the homes, the stability of the lobby heads, and
the health of the natural world.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
This sus sees this all now, as we spoke about earlier,
all of the big emissions aren't there, aren't even in
the room, So what is the point in even being there?
How much did we spend getting there? We're taking a
couple of special delegations because I don't know we're special.
Fifty thousand delegates are going to this location from all
(12:24):
over the world. And the hotels were so expensive. You
might remember we had that chat about that the hotels
were so expensive. So what they've done for poorer countries
who can't afford the hotels, which they've hiked the fees
because it's obviously make hay while the sun shines. These
guys are going to be put on barges and boats
because they can't afford the hotel rooms. Ryan Unfortunately for
(12:47):
National they ended up fixing Labour's mess. How can you
fix it in two years? It's always the same vicious circle.
Then labor gets in and empties the coffers again. Says,
and Judy says, good morning, Judy. I believe if you've
lived permanently in Australia for his certain periods, say two
or three years, you shouldn't have the right to vote anymore.
Treating Monk the Prisoners twenty three After five News Talks VB.
(13:08):
Coming up after five thirty, we'll head to Vincent Macavinie
in the UK. We'll get a little update on what's
going on at cop and we will also talk before
top of the hour. Clearly something is not quite working
with the government's oil and gas exploration situation because they
are now having to expand the criteria for this fund
(13:28):
to co invest with gas explorers. They're expanding that, which
means maybe there aren't enough people who are actually interested
in what they're putting on the table right now. Twenty
three After News Talks VB, the early.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Edition Full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by NEWSTALKSB.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Five twenty five. So we've got a fifth round of
talks with India on a free trade deal. We've got
a senior government minister in town. He's brought forty two
of his mates over. This is a good sign of
good progress. But dairy farmers. If you're hoping for a
pot of gold at the end of this rainbow, I
don't think it's going to happen. Unfortunately for Clay and
Luxon promised to deal by the election. Sounds like they're
(14:10):
on track to achieve that. But it's a deal worth
the paper it's written on. If it doesn't unlocked twar
free access for milk powder. It's our major commodity we
sell to the rest of the world. One of the
reasons Fonterra is the cat that got the cream right now.
We all know this, but in their haste their eagerness,
these ministers are going for quick and dirty over comprehensive
(14:31):
and all encompassing, which begs the question would a deal
look good for the government without dairy in it or
would you look a bit dumb because you rushed it.
You're rushed in to buy something, you know, buy a
car without actually having an engine in it and checking first.
Here's why I don't think it will include dairy. India
is the world's largest consumer of derry. Did you know
(14:54):
that it meets its own demand domestically, albeit with much
higher emissions. They wouldn't like that At copp and Brazil.
They don't want to by import derry. It's have made
that very clear time and again. They have ambitions to
be a major dairy exporter of their own in the future.
The Brits got a deal disappointed farmers there because why
(15:17):
it excluded dairy. You fed Farmers Scotland put out a
press release at the time saying, you know it was
a sour deal. They're upset about it. You can probably
expect the same reaction here when a deal is done
without our big money spin it included. Even our treasury
says dairy probably ain't gonna happen. I asked Myles Hurl
about this a few months ago. He was realistic, basically said,
(15:40):
don't think we'll get it across the line. If we do,
it'll be invaluable. Of course, it would growth and global
dairy consumption expected to be largely driven out of India
and Pakistan. To miss this boat would be disappointing. They
could include some nothing clause about wanting to open it
up in the future, but there'd be no guarantee of that.
And we have learned this lesson from the Brits who've
(16:02):
just been through this process, which doesn't make this a
deal not worth signing, don't get me wrong, but the
speed at which it's being done could actually hurt Luxon's
self described business negotiation skills if expectations aren't properly managed.
Brian b on News Talk saidb lots of text coming
(16:24):
and we'll get to that in a second. And I will, Brian,
I promise I'll give you a power update. Now, this
is interesting from the BBC because you know they've had
this cultural review going on at the BBC over in
the UK because they're all left wingers, which will surprise
absolutely no one. There's a newsreader, Martine Croxel. Now she's
broken BBC rules because she was reading a script about
(16:48):
there was a heat wave and it was about health
problems and who would be affected. And I'll just read
you from this. So as the AUTOQ prompted her to
warn pregnant people to take care in the heat, she
first read the term out before overriding it with a
smirk and an eyebrow raise. And here's what she actually said.
She said pregnant people women, So sort of corrects herself, right,
(17:13):
and you think, well, is that the end of the world. Apparently,
so apparently she has broken BBC rules by slightly raising
an eyebrow and smirking while reading a strip. There you go.
Twenty people complained to the BBC and that is their ruling,
that is their finding. They take her off here. News

Speaker 2 (17:51):
News TALKSB. When you buy away from six on Newstalk
ZB for your Friday morning, we'll talk gas. The government's
hoping to get more gas out of the ground quicker.
That's before six inns in Macavini in the UK for
us this morning. We had the Crown accounts out yesterday
and it's not great reading. This is for the September quarter.
(18:12):
The increase in payroll tax deductions up two point three
percent for September from the same month a year ago.
That's the lowest rise since twenty twelve. This is the
stuff that you need to get the economy moving, to
get the government coffers moving, you know, employment gains, ours work,
that kind of stuff which then affects your tax take.
(18:32):
For most of the past decade, they've easily exceeded that
number of five percent because workers get pushed into high
tax brackets and so the government gets more and more money.
That's not happening. This is unusual. Also, the GST tax
take is down. It's the same effect. The deficit blew
out further than forecast for that period. So not a
(18:55):
great economic story, just more generally, but also not great
for the government comps either. So TBC more work to do.
Twenty three away from six in Spicy News on Megan
Markol I'll get to in a second. First, let's go
around the country with our reporters, Kate riccowned for Dneed
and Kate. Good Morning Morning ran Now Southend state of
emergency is coming to an end.
Speaker 7 (19:16):
Yes, Southland will be transitioning into recovery mode at nine
point thirty this morning, following the impacts from last month
severe winds and wild weather that left twenty five thousand
homes without power. Sixty five homes are still in the dark,
with twenty two in Southland and forty three in South
Otigo with no power. Southland's Emergency Management Alternate Controller, Jonathan Shawes,
(19:36):
is the recovery process is about supporting people and rebuilding
their lives. He says it's been a challenging event with
major impacts across the region.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
All right, Kate, how's the weather.
Speaker 7 (19:47):
Mainly fine with high cloud and a high of twenty
one degree.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Brilliant, Thank you very much. Clear and christ Church morning, Claire,
good morning, christ Church's new Green Party MP, community board member.
Confidence and you can juggle both these jobs.
Speaker 8 (19:59):
Yes, so we read there's been a heap of interest
in our former city councilor Mike Davidson about how Hill
balanced this duel role. He was elevated to be a
Green List MP after the resignation of Benjamin Doyle in September.
At that time, he said it was simply too late
to pull out of the election for a seat on
a local community board, so he would look to juggle
both roles. Yesterday was the first test of that. He
(20:22):
was making his maiden speech in Parliament in Wellington in
the afternoon, at the same time he was due to
be sworn into the community board here in christ Church.
We've asked Davidson about this. He says, look, he simply
couldn't be in two places at once. Doing the maiden's
speech was a once in a lifetime opportunity he couldn't
miss but he's still adamant. He has no concerns about
the situation or his ability to represent his community, despite
(20:45):
the fact he will need to be in Wellington several
days a month.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Oh that's a bit cheeky, isn't it.
Speaker 8 (20:50):
How's you were the clear morning and some evening low clown,
but otherwise should be fine. Westerly's turning northeasterly and a
high of twenty one.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Thank you. That's terrible, really, isn't it. And of course
every time whoever whatever the local board's name is, wherever
you are in christ Church, he will ditch you every
time you are the you know you're the fling. Let's
got to mix them, willing to mix. Good morning. But
it was shake last night.
Speaker 9 (21:15):
Yeah, not a shame to say. I was awoken by
it last night. It was about nine pm. I am
asleep by nine pm. A four point nine magnitude earthquake,
very close to Wellington northwest, but of a short, sharp one.
You've got one person quoted in the Herald as saying
it lasted a decent amount of time.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
It didn't.
Speaker 9 (21:32):
It certainly wasn't one of those long rolling ones. But
there was an initial bang, which is noted it came
upon us very quickly and then faded away quickly as well.
What always fascinates me with these quakes is we get
these minute and moderate shakes and you have over five
hundred people jumping on GeoNet reporting at as strong, fifty
(21:52):
skittish people describing it as severe or extreme. It wasn't
I wonder if we could invent a few more categories
at the top of the scale for them people. But
that maybe my Cantabrian past speaking there. But it was
an initial jolt that certainly frightened a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
All right, Next, I'm glad you say, how's your weather?
Safe and sound?
Speaker 9 (22:11):
Early rain and clearing to find it should crack the
twenties today.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
All right, brilliant, Thank you. Scarlet's the ten of itch
for us in Auckland. Scarlet, good morning, good morning, right,
lovely to see you. Now, what is this accouncil going
to do to Ponsonby Road?
Speaker 10 (22:23):
Ponsonby Road, so at is looking to actually introduce evening
paid parking and Pontsombe. So we all know how hard
it is when you go to Pontsmbe always when you're
last minute trying to get a park. So AT's put
forward these three proposals introducing paid parking on streets near
Pontsomby Road, extending the paid parking into the evenings from
Thursday to Saturday, and extending the current resident parking zone.
(22:45):
So they're saying the key reason for the changes is
to meet that high demand for on street parking. Why
it's a matur local board member Sarah Trotman. She says,
usually when paid parkings put in, businesses don't get access
to any permits. So she's saying that this means employees
who use car to travel to work don't have anywhere
to park. And she says there is the opportunity for
the car turnover the AT wants, but on the other hand,
(23:06):
people might just stay home.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yeah, avoid the place altogether, because then you got to
pay for parking as well as your meal, which is
already expensive. Exactly all right. How's our weather?
Speaker 10 (23:14):
Mainly fine, passing cloud sea breezes and a high of
twenty five degrees.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Brilliant, Thank you, Scarlett. It is nineteen minutes away from six.
On News Talk ZB Megan Markle. You know she before
she became the Royal family's biggest ball lake. Basically she
was an actress. She starred in the TV series Suits
in twenty seventeen before she married Harry. Now she is
(23:40):
coming back to the small screen. She is set to
start in a film called Close Personal Friends, to be
released online. Comedy film follows two couples where one is
famous and the other is not. And the real kicker
here is that Markle is set to play herself how
delightful in the film, alongs alongside stars like Lily Collins,
(24:05):
Breed Larssen. Do we know these people, mackenzie? Do we
know these people?
Speaker 11 (24:08):
No?
Speaker 2 (24:09):
McKenzie's young Jack Quaid. Now Jack Quaid is the son
of Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan. He's apparently in it.
But apart from that, who are these people? She's been
spotted in Pasadena, California, acting in front of the cameras again, Well,
the real question is whether that ever actually stopped. Eighteen
minutes away from six, we're in the UK. Next News
Talk sebb It is quarter to six on News Talk SeeDB.
(24:32):
This is for Brian, specifically for you, Brian, because you've
been testing me this morning about the power in Northland.
It's actually pretty bad. Twenty three thousand people without power.
This is from five o'clock yesterday. That's the second time
it's happened in a week and they're not really sure
why at this point, so they have to sort something out.
Katy Ketty Russell, Pie Hair Cowakawa, Kai Coe all affected.
(24:52):
The latest I can tell you, Brian, is that Top
Energy's website right now says the power's still off. But
last night in an update at ten thirty, they said
we will have it on progressively coming back home with
the next two to three hours. So clearly it's not
it hasn't been all within two to three hours, has it?
(25:12):
Fourteen away from six.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Now International correspondence with ins an Eye Insurance Peace of
Mind for New Zealand business.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
So the UK accidentally frees two prisoners and one of
them is now handing himself in Vincent Mecaminie are UK
europe correspondent Vincent. They'll be pleased that he's at least
done something, honest.
Speaker 12 (25:31):
Yeah, there was a double man hunt afterway after these
two prisoners were mistakenly both released from Wandsworth Prison in
London in the past few weeks. Now thirty five year
old William Smith, who was convicted of fraud. He has
this afternoon handed himself back in. He was accidentally released
because they thought that his four year prison sentence was suspended,
(25:53):
but it wasn't. But one person still on the run,
of twenty four year old Algerian sex offender Brahim kodorsha Reef.
That is causing concern because this is the exact same
thing that happened last month when another convicted sex offender
was accidentally released due to be deported but was released.
And it's raising questions about the prison service because it
(26:14):
seems a lot of the stuff that's being done there
is being done by hand, by sort of paperwork that's
well out of date. The systems aren't working and it's
people looking at calendars trying to work things out themselves.
So big questions for the government about how they're going
to reform prisons here.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Yeah, it sounds like it too.
Speaker 11 (26:32):
Now.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Prince William's over at cop in Brazil. What does this
mean is did he fly there on a private cheat?
That's really all I ca here about.
Speaker 12 (26:42):
No, they don't tend to go on private jets, actually
they do. The Royal family does tend to fly commercial
these days, well, especially for international stuff. But he is
there for his Earth's Shot Prize, which has been running
for about the last five years. It's a bit like
the Moonshot Prize that Kennedy had back in the nineteen
sixties for space exploration. This is about trying to find
(27:03):
new and innovative ways to protect the environment. And he's
announced the list of winners. So there's things like sort
of regreening projects and other climate projects are high seas
global initiative in order to conserve marine life of some
of the winners this year. And he'll also be going
on to the COP thirty summits with our Prime Minister
(27:25):
Sekir Starmer to try and talk to world leaders about
some of these ideas and what they're doing is a
time where the consensus really seem to be broken down.
A lot of the big world leaders who used to
turn up regularly to these kind of things, most notably
Chinese Premiere Hu Jimping and US President Donald Trump, avoiding
this one because they're you know, it's not at the
top of their agenda anymore.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Yeah, Yeah, which makes you wonder what's the point in
the thing of half of the worlds and matters aren't
in the room. Appreciate your time, Vincent Meca of Any,
a UK europe correspondent. It's twelve to six governments allowing
the bar for guest companies to get access to that
big fund, the two hundred million bucks, the Gas Security Fund.
This is meant for new exploration. They're loosening the criteria,
(28:06):
opening it up to a wider range of products. Boost
down dwindling supply. We know we need more of it.
This means, on top of looking and drilling for more gas,
ourselves will take applications for anyone who can get us
more gas quickly. John Carnegie is the energy resources out
there that our CEO with me this morning. John, Good morning, Yeah,
good morning Ryan. How many applications that we had for
(28:27):
the current regime do you know? Or how much interest?
Not much?
Speaker 11 (28:31):
Oh, I know, we're already seeing some positive signs. I
spent some time last month with international partner groups in
Central America and the UK that have members who are
actually looking incredibly closely at the whole package of the
new regulatory settings for the sector and this change will
hopefully spark more interest. And actually we've already had one
(28:54):
new permit application and we expect more to come.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
How many more do you reckon well, that's.
Speaker 11 (29:01):
Going to be a judgment made by the companies as
to whether or not New Zealand's investable. And ultimately, companies
will only invest if they see stable, durable policy, and
that's why dipartisan political support for these measures are so crucial.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Which we haven't got yet obviously. Is you know Shane
Jones has been talking about, is this actually the amount
two hundred million is not enough in the fund or
is it the criteria? Are we limiting it at too much?
And is that why they're having to change this now?
Speaker 11 (29:33):
No, Look, I think more money is always nice, Ryan,
Oil and gas exploration is an expensive business and frankly
two hundred million won't go far, especially if it's sliced thinly.
But actually, as I've just alluded to, it is much
about the overall risk profile of the activity than the
money itself, and so it's encouraging to see the new
(29:56):
level of support. But the focus now should be on
creat endurable, evidence based policy settings could give investors confidence
for the future, and on helping reduce their cost base.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Appreciate your time's wanting. John John Carnegie Energy Resources altered
our CEO of Chima's nine to six. Ryan Bridge and
Nancy Pelosi. This is California Democrat. You'll know Nancy Pelosi's
face even if you don't recognize her name. She has
been in the game for decades. In fact, she has
had twenty terms in Congress. She's retiring. She's eighty five.
(30:31):
She's the one that sat behind Trump when he was
doing a State of the Union and ripped up the
piece of paper. Do you remember that she was because
she used to be the House speaker. Anyway, she's announced
that she is stepping down from politics, which is eighty
five after twenty terms. You'd have to say was a
pretty good innings. News talks there B it's nine to
six the.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
News you need this morning and the in depth analysis
early edition with Ryan Bridge and r V Supercenter explore
RV's accessories and so us all than one news talks that.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Be just gone seven to six news talks. HEB. You know,
Ma'm Danni over in the in New York City, had
rent freezers, universal health care, you know, free buses. They've
even got government run grocery stores on their to do list.
Does anyone think this is actually going to happen? He's
announced his team that's going to back him, and it's
(31:23):
an all female transition team preparing for the mayoralty of
New York City. And as for Trump's influence, because you
know how he's saying, I'm going to do something about this. Well,
of the budget that they get each year, seven point
four billion dollars comes from federal funding. That's about six
point four percent, So it's not kind of make or
break stuff. The influence will be limited. Six away from
(31:45):
six Bryan Bridge. Mike's here in the studio this morning.
Good morning, Mike morning.
Speaker 13 (31:49):
When you said transition team, are all those team transitioning?
Is that what you're saying that, I'm no, no, no, no,
it's confusing.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
For no, transition from you know, nothing, from obscurity into mayoralty.
Speaker 13 (32:03):
I understand what you're saying. Now, just make it clear,
right and otherwise, you know, you just don't know where
you're at this morning. Speaking which related matters, there is
an announcement coming today from the government on the films,
and Trump's because he's got the big film there and
no one can work out what an American made film is,
of course for obvious reasons, so we're announcing today this
is I'm torn because I can't work out whether it's
(32:24):
a good idea or not. So what I know for
a fact is when they did the original deal with
Peter Jackson, remember Key and etc. So anyway they say
the dollar in dollar back, it works, so as an
equation it works in theory though it's a race, isn't
it to the bottom. And what they're announcing today is
that the tax benefits for making a film here plus
also finishing a film off, which is the other part
(32:46):
of the equation, are going to increase. So in other words,
to attract the tax rebate, you need to spend as
of today less on the film to get that particular benefit.
So in other words, if it goes from say it's
down to four million, so I can make the announcement
even though they haven't made it. So it's down to
four million, right, so you only have to spend four
million on a film and suddenly you're starting to write
(33:07):
text off, which is fine, but how long before it's zero?
So in other words, you know, just come and make
a film, will give you text you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Which was the argument to begin with, wasn't that? And
then Australia would move and Mexico would.
Speaker 13 (33:18):
Move and it's exactly what's happened.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
But that's the problem.
Speaker 13 (33:21):
So you're up against one Trump who goes well know
as making movies in America, which is obviously true. But
two also, whatever we do, Australia would do, Ireland does,
India does.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Here's the reason I don't care about this is that
if you look at South Korea, South Korea is one
of the fastest growing tourist destinations in New Zealand. And
we know how good Lord of the Rings was for
tourism here, right, So it's not just about the actual film,
it's about the people who watched the movie. Lots of
the show K Pop Demon Hunters. Yeah, sure that most
(33:51):
what show on Netflix is there The Rings? Though, exactly so.
Speaker 13 (33:55):
But every four million dollar movie made in New Zealand,
someone's not sitting in Arkansas, gone wow, look at that.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
No. No, but these days they don't make those big
ones anymore. So you've got to do a thousand crap
ones and throw them on Netflix.
Speaker 13 (34:10):
Great show, Jesse, You have a good weekend, won't you? Hey?
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Cheers? Stephen Andrew Day.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
That'd be good morning, Happy Friday, the government's latest push
to get more gas. This morning, Vincent mcavinie in the
UK for US, Tony Johnson on the Barretts and Scotland
this weekend, and we'll head to the US as well.
This tariff court case is looking rather interesting and quite
important for US down under the agenda. It is Friday,
the seventh of November. This big typhoon, Kilmelgi they call
(00:34):
it hitting Vietnam right now. It's apparently Asia's most powerful
tropical storm this year, left one hundred and fourteen dead
in the Philippines.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
It really reminded me of scene some what we've seen
tsunamis in the past. I mean enormously powerful surges of
water going filling up the streets, lifting up cars in
their wake, even shipping containers and destroying smaller homes. Nound
of the Philippines towns have these rather sort of flimsy
shanty towns, and the poor and a helpe neighborho some
of those neighborhoods have been completely wiped out.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
And it's that time again where everybody who cares about
the climate change issue jumps on a plane, burns a
bunch of avgas across the globe and heads to Brazil.
For Brazil this year for Cop thirty. Kirs Starmer is there.
He's talking today, so's Prince William.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
The leaders of China in there, and the US, together
responsible for roughly half of world emissions, will not be present.
The US is withdrawing from the Paris Agreement entirely, and
the UN has conceded that the latest round of carbon
cutting commitments made by the countries of the world full stort.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Now let's go to Paris. You know the big jewelry
heist at the Louver. Guess what the password was. This
is a French newspaper reporting what the security password was
during the big heist. Wait for it, Lou that he.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Is pretty much the same as just having it as
password or.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
One, two, three four. The audit also revealing the museum
we're still using security software from two thousand and three.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
That he's a very old version of Windows.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
The only hard thing about that is figure out how
to spell it. I suppose though someone who's with French
would presumably know it is eight minutes after five.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
The first word on the News of the Day Early
edition with Ryan Bridge shed r V Supercenter explore r
v's accessories and servicing all in.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
One news talks. Be great to have your company this morning.
Flip me your text nine two nine two love hearing
from you? Well mostly better election day next year? What
date do you reckon it's going to happen now? I
am picking Saturday, seventh of November simply because the House
sitting program, the way it works, your odds are probably
(02:47):
on and Luxon wants to go late because the economy
is still shugared. We've seen the you know, you saw
the unplumed ployment number this week. Not great is that?
So you need to turn the ship around. And he's
going to spend some time over sight thinking about this.
His polling has been sliding since the last election. We
know this. The Left block, despite all the scandal, the
drama and the lack of policy, is pulling ahead, albeit
(03:10):
by a whisker. I think this election campaign is going
to be different for a couple of reasons. One, there's
essentially a capital gains tax on the ballot, and this
has happened before. Of course, Golf tried it in twenty eleven.
Others have tried it. I was there when GoF tried
it did not end well, But this one seems different.
There isn't the same level of outrage brewing, not that
(03:31):
I have seen anyway this time around, which maybe because
it's a lot narrower in focus. You tell me number two,
it's all going to be about Australia. We will talk
as much about Australia as we do New Zealand. There
are at least six hundred and twenty thousand people born
in New Zealand who now live in Australia. That's half
the population of the South Island. We lost a net
(03:54):
thirty thousand people in the last year. So I think
you can expect to see the opposition MP's doing press
conferences from Eden Park to illustrate the trans Tasman human deficit.
But also I think we could see our first campaign
event for a major party held in another country. Usually
(04:14):
politicians shelve their overseas travel plans months out from an election,
but the sheer number of key we vote is now
living on the GC could open this up as a
genuine battleground. I can see Chippy running an event over there,
jumping on a plane, bit of a stunt, bit of
a photo op. Look, everyone's leaving because of Luckso the
question then becomes, who would they vote for. Do they
(04:34):
blame Hipkins for taking this country's economic engine and driving
it straight into a brick wall like thud or Luxen
for failing to fix it up, you know, get it
to a panel, bey to a quick smart Either way,
this time next year, I think we'll be talking as
much about the country on the other side of the
ditch as we do this one. Ryan Breds b we'd
(04:56):
love your thoughts on that nine two nine two the
numbers text I've just gone e live minutes after five
the love. There's more juice to be squeezed from the
Louver story yet, I'll tell you more about that.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Next on your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition
with Ryan Bridge and Are the Supercenter explore are these
accessories and servicing Paul than one News Talk Sa'd be.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
By PO thirteen. Good morning Ryan. As usual, there's no
follow up in the news on the Far North businesses
and families that have again had no power for many hours.
This is twenty three thousand people, says Brian. Brian, good morning,
nice to hear from you. We are looking into that
for you. I saw that yesterday. She last night had
sent it to the producers from our Herald show and said, hey,
we should just check on this because it's the second
(05:43):
time now you've had power out in this area in
a week and they don't really know apparently at this
point what the causes. So that's a bit of a worry.
We'll look into it for you, Brian, Ryan. If they
live in Australia, they should be allowed to vote. They
shouldn't be allowed to vote here. See, this is the problem.
You can I think the rule is you have to
(06:03):
have been in New Zealand in the last three years,
and then even though you're living abroad, even though you're
living in Australia or Britain or whatever, you can vote
here very quickly. On the louver. You know, I mentioned
the security The pin code was Louve. Well. They've done
an auditors report on the finances as well. They've basically
been scrimping on maintenance. They've spent one hundred million euros
(06:26):
on art. This is between twenty eighteen and twenty twenty
four one hundred million on art acquisitions, twenty six million
on maintenance and security. They had an eighty three million
dollar security upgrade plan. Guess how much of that they
spent three million? So you can see why someone got in.
Apparently there are two exhibition rooms. One of them only
(06:47):
had sixty percent CCTV coverage. One of the rooms seventy
five percent of the artworks lacked security. So is it
any surprise someone scaled a ladder and stole the Crown Jewels?
Ryan Bridge, it's gone five point fifteen. You're on news Talk,
said be The All Blacks continue their Grand Slam Tour
this weekend. They're up against Scotland at Murrayfield, kicking off
(07:09):
four ten Sunday, our time. They haven't lost to the
Scots in one hundred and seventeen years. Doesn't mean this
won't be the first time. Tony Johnson's rugby commentator with
us this morning, Tony, good morning. Oh right, Jeffy, how
important is the Murrayfield anniversary?
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Oh right, Sorry god, I've got the wrong place, Ryan, Sorry.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Mate, Okay, no worries.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
I've been doing so many different interviews since I've been
over here and I'm still got gentleg made a my thousands.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Apologies, Tony, it's no problem. You can call me whatever
you like.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
I know I'm going to definitely call you right. You
can call me anything you like now after I've done that.
What a great way to start today.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
How you're up at all hours? How important is the
Murrayfield anniversary to the Scots?
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Well, it's very important. I'm making a big thing of it,
and there's a real buzz around Edinburgh. I've been here
just a couple of days, but boy, there's some excitement.
Although having said that, it's a bit tempered now. The
Scotland team has been named today and they're missing a
couple of really good players. Douhann Pandermerva there, big South
(08:15):
African born left winger, is not there and one of
the front rowers, Xander Vegason, is out as well. So
everyone was thinking this is going to be a real
threat to scott and I still think they will be,
but not quite as much as was initially anticipated because
of those defections.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
What's happening with the Barretts is Scott's going to be
back on the field. What's going on?
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Well, okay, so Jordie has gone back to New Zealand.
He had a knee and a high ankle strain, so
that that happened very early on in the game in Chicago,
so unfortunately for him, he's gone back to his end.
Scott got a very deep laceration in his lower leg,
but that's healing really well and so they think he'll
be back for the test at Quicken Him next week
(09:00):
and they'll need him for that too. And meanwhile, Body,
who had a pretty tough time of it, took a
couple of big knocks in the game in Chicago, but
he's bounced back really well from that. In fact, he shopped,
he was telling us on the day off yesterday, shot
one of his best ever round of golf at one
of the flash courses here. So he's obviously and good Nick.
(09:20):
So yeah, at the moment, it's a very rare thing
that there's only one Barrack going to be in the
your back team this weekend.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Very weird indeed, but we look forward to seeing the game. Tony,
appreciate your time this morning. That's Tony Johnson rugby commentator.
Time is seventeen minutes half to five shot them. Updated
data used to outdated numbers. This is World Line Payments network,
so it tells you about who's swiping what on the cards.
Retail's still not going nuts in the shops, are we,
which is a worry for them, especially heading into Christmas.
(09:48):
People do like to get in early. Not myself, but
you know my mom does. Are they shopping like they
normally would or are we at least spending more than
we were last year? Well spending was up point three
for October from the same month a year ago, but
that's far lower than you can be accounted for by inflation.
Only Nelson and Otago have spending rising more than inflation. Auckland,
(10:14):
you're down zero point one percent, Wellington down three point
seven percent, christ Church up just zero point six percent.
So are we going to go hard with our shopping
in the next few months or are we going to
be penny pinching this Christmas? Saving a bit nothing? Frivolous
numbers aren't looking that great at this point. Eighteen after

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Fall in one News Talks at b five twenty on
News Talks, said b it's interesting what's happening in the
Supreme Court because it actually is relevant to us. Most
of the news we bring you from America actually has
no bearing on our daily lives. However, this story is different.
And a lot of the conservative justices that Trump so
Trump's gone and girls that he put on the Supreme
Court are now openly in the court questioning the rationale
(11:08):
for the tariffs that he's imposed on everyone, not that
some of them aren't going to be considered valid, and
you know, he's using the powers that he's got, or
correctly all that sort of stuff. It's more to do
with why has every country basically been whacked with tariffs?
How can you justify that because there's a limited scopes
essentially a taxation, and there's a limited scope for the
(11:30):
president to come in and unilaterally just you know, tax everyone,
which is basically what he's done. So anyway, we'll watch
that with interest. Some of those conservative ones seem to
be turning against him. Back to cop in Brazil, here's
old Prince William just a couple of minutes ago.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
We must ask ourselves, what legacy do we wish to
leave because the impact of all our choices will be
felt by us all around the world, in the city
of the homes, the stability of the lobby heads, and
the health of the natural world.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
This sus sees this all now, as we spoke about earlier,
all of the big emissions aren't there, aren't even in
the room, So what is the point in even being there?
How much did we spend getting there? We're taking a
couple of special delegations because I don't know we're special.
Fifty thousand delegates are going to this location from all
(12:24):
over the world. And the hotels were so expensive. You
might remember we had that chat about that the hotels
were so expensive. So what they've done for poorer countries
who can't afford the hotels, which they've hiked the fees
because it's obviously make hay while the sun shines. These
guys are going to be put on barges and boats
because they can't afford the hotel rooms. Ryan Unfortunately for
(12:47):
National they ended up fixing Labour's mess. How can you
fix it in two years? It's always the same vicious circle.
Then labor gets in and empties the coffers again. Says,

lived permanently in Australia for his certain periods, say two
or three years, you shouldn't have the right to vote anymore.
Treating Monk the Prisoners twenty three After five News Talks VB.
(13:08):
Coming up after five thirty, we'll head to Vincent Macavinie
in the UK. We'll get a little update on what's
going on at cop and we will also talk before
top of the hour. Clearly something is not quite working
with the government's oil and gas exploration situation because they
are now having to expand the criteria for this fund
(13:28):
to co invest with gas explorers. They're expanding that, which
means maybe there aren't enough people who are actually interested
in what they're putting on the table right now. Twenty

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Edition Full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by NEWSTALKSB.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Five twenty five. So we've got a fifth round of
talks with India on a free trade deal. We've got
a senior government minister in town. He's brought forty two
of his mates over. This is a good sign of
good progress. But dairy farmers. If you're hoping for a
pot of gold at the end of this rainbow, I
don't think it's going to happen. Unfortunately for Clay and
Luxon promised to deal by the election. Sounds like they're
(14:10):
on track to achieve that. But it's a deal worth
the paper it's written on. If it doesn't unlocked twar
free access for milk powder. It's our major commodity we
sell to the rest of the world. One of the
reasons Fonterra is the cat that got the cream right now.
We all know this, but in their haste their eagerness,
these ministers are going for quick and dirty over comprehensive
(14:31):
and all encompassing, which begs the question would a deal
look good for the government without dairy in it or
would you look a bit dumb because you rushed it.
You're rushed in to buy something, you know, buy a
car without actually having an engine in it and checking first.
Here's why I don't think it will include dairy. India
is the world's largest consumer of derry. Did you know
(14:54):
that it meets its own demand domestically, albeit with much
higher emissions. They wouldn't like that At copp and Brazil.
They don't want to by import derry. It's have made
that very clear time and again. They have ambitions to
be a major dairy exporter of their own in the future.
The Brits got a deal disappointed farmers there because why
(15:17):
it excluded dairy. You fed Farmers Scotland put out a
press release at the time saying, you know it was
a sour deal. They're upset about it. You can probably
expect the same reaction here when a deal is done
without our big money spin it included. Even our treasury
says dairy probably ain't gonna happen. I asked Myles Hurl
about this a few months ago. He was realistic, basically said,
(15:40):
don't think we'll get it across the line. If we do,
it'll be invaluable. Of course, it would growth and global
dairy consumption expected to be largely driven out of India
and Pakistan. To miss this boat would be disappointing. They
could include some nothing clause about wanting to open it
up in the future, but there'd be no guarantee of that.
And we have learned this lesson from the Brits who've
(16:02):
just been through this process, which doesn't make this a
deal not worth signing, don't get me wrong, but the
speed at which it's being done could actually hurt Luxon's
self described business negotiation skills if expectations aren't properly managed.
Brian b on News Talk saidb lots of text coming
(16:24):
and we'll get to that in a second. And I will, Brian,
I promise I'll give you a power update. Now, this
is interesting from the BBC because you know they've had
this cultural review going on at the BBC over in
the UK because they're all left wingers, which will surprise
absolutely no one. There's a newsreader, Martine Croxel. Now she's
broken BBC rules because she was reading a script about
(16:48):
there was a heat wave and it was about health
problems and who would be affected. And I'll just read
you from this. So as the AUTOQ prompted her to
warn pregnant people to take care in the heat, she
first read the term out before overriding it with a
smirk and an eyebrow raise. And here's what she actually said.
She said pregnant people women, So sort of corrects herself, right,
(17:13):
and you think, well, is that the end of the world. Apparently,
so apparently she has broken BBC rules by slightly raising
an eyebrow and smirking while reading a strip. There you go.
Twenty people complained to the BBC and that is their ruling,
that is their finding. They take her off here. News
(17:35):
Talks EDB. We're in the UK.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Next Ryan Bridge on early edition with r VS Supercenter.
Explore r v's accessories and servicing all in one.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
News TALKSB. When you buy away from six on Newstalk
ZB for your Friday morning, we'll talk gas. The government's
hoping to get more gas out of the ground quicker.
That's before six inns in Macavini in the UK for
us this morning. We had the Crown accounts out yesterday
and it's not great reading. This is for the September quarter.
(18:12):
The increase in payroll tax deductions up two point three
percent for September from the same month a year ago.
That's the lowest rise since twenty twelve. This is the
stuff that you need to get the economy moving, to
get the government coffers moving, you know, employment gains, ours work,
that kind of stuff which then affects your tax take.
(18:32):
For most of the past decade, they've easily exceeded that
number of five percent because workers get pushed into high
tax brackets and so the government gets more and more money.
That's not happening. This is unusual. Also, the GST tax
take is down. It's the same effect. The deficit blew
out further than forecast for that period. So not a
(18:55):
great economic story, just more generally, but also not great
for the government comps either. So TBC more work to do.
Twenty three away from six in Spicy News on Megan
Markol I'll get to in a second. First, let's go
around the country with our reporters, Kate riccowned for Dneed
and Kate. Good Morning Morning ran Now Southend state of
emergency is coming to an end.
Speaker 7 (19:16):
Yes, Southland will be transitioning into recovery mode at nine
point thirty this morning, following the impacts from last month
severe winds and wild weather that left twenty five thousand
homes without power. Sixty five homes are still in the dark,
with twenty two in Southland and forty three in South
Otigo with no power. Southland's Emergency Management Alternate Controller, Jonathan Shawes,
(19:36):
is the recovery process is about supporting people and rebuilding
their lives. He says it's been a challenging event with
major impacts across the region.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
All right, Kate, how's the weather.
Speaker 7 (19:47):
Mainly fine with high cloud and a high of twenty
one degree.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Brilliant, Thank you very much. Clear and christ Church morning, Claire,
good morning, christ Church's new Green Party MP, community board member.
Confidence and you can juggle both these jobs.
Speaker 8 (19:59):
Yes, so we read there's been a heap of interest
in our former city councilor Mike Davidson about how Hill
balanced this duel role. He was elevated to be a
Green List MP after the resignation of Benjamin Doyle in September.
At that time, he said it was simply too late
to pull out of the election for a seat on
a local community board, so he would look to juggle
both roles. Yesterday was the first test of that. He
(20:22):
was making his maiden speech in Parliament in Wellington in
the afternoon, at the same time he was due to
be sworn into the community board here in christ Church.
We've asked Davidson about this. He says, look, he simply
couldn't be in two places at once. Doing the maiden's
speech was a once in a lifetime opportunity he couldn't
miss but he's still adamant. He has no concerns about
the situation or his ability to represent his community, despite
(20:45):
the fact he will need to be in Wellington several
days a month.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Oh that's a bit cheeky, isn't it.
Speaker 8 (20:50):
How's you were the clear morning and some evening low clown,
but otherwise should be fine. Westerly's turning northeasterly and a
high of twenty one.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Thank you. That's terrible, really, isn't it. And of course
every time whoever whatever the local board's name is, wherever
you are in christ Church, he will ditch you every
time you are the you know you're the fling. Let's
got to mix them, willing to mix. Good morning. But
it was shake last night.
Speaker 9 (21:15):
Yeah, not a shame to say. I was awoken by
it last night. It was about nine pm. I am
asleep by nine pm. A four point nine magnitude earthquake,
very close to Wellington northwest, but of a short, sharp one.
You've got one person quoted in the Herald as saying
it lasted a decent amount of time.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
It didn't.
Speaker 9 (21:32):
It certainly wasn't one of those long rolling ones. But
there was an initial bang, which is noted it came
upon us very quickly and then faded away quickly as well.
What always fascinates me with these quakes is we get
these minute and moderate shakes and you have over five
hundred people jumping on GeoNet reporting at as strong, fifty
(21:52):
skittish people describing it as severe or extreme. It wasn't
I wonder if we could invent a few more categories
at the top of the scale for them people. But
that maybe my Cantabrian past speaking there. But it was
an initial jolt that certainly frightened a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
All right, Next, I'm glad you say, how's your weather?
Safe and sound?
Speaker 9 (22:11):
Early rain and clearing to find it should crack the
twenties today.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
All right, brilliant, Thank you. Scarlet's the ten of itch
for us in Auckland. Scarlet, good morning, good morning, right,
lovely to see you. Now, what is this accouncil going
to do to Ponsonby Road?
Speaker 10 (22:23):
Ponsonby Road, so at is looking to actually introduce evening
paid parking and Pontsombe. So we all know how hard
it is when you go to Pontsmbe always when you're
last minute trying to get a park. So AT's put
forward these three proposals introducing paid parking on streets near
Pontsomby Road, extending the paid parking into the evenings from
Thursday to Saturday, and extending the current resident parking zone.
(22:45):
So they're saying the key reason for the changes is
to meet that high demand for on street parking. Why
it's a matur local board member Sarah Trotman. She says,
usually when paid parkings put in, businesses don't get access
to any permits. So she's saying that this means employees
who use car to travel to work don't have anywhere
to park. And she says there is the opportunity for
the car turnover the AT wants, but on the other hand,
(23:06):
people might just stay home.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yeah, avoid the place altogether, because then you got to
pay for parking as well as your meal, which is
already expensive. Exactly all right. How's our weather?
Speaker 10 (23:14):
Mainly fine, passing cloud sea breezes and a high of
twenty five degrees.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Brilliant, Thank you, Scarlett. It is nineteen minutes away from six.
On News Talk ZB Megan Markle. You know she before
she became the Royal family's biggest ball lake. Basically she
was an actress. She starred in the TV series Suits
in twenty seventeen before she married Harry. Now she is
(23:40):
coming back to the small screen. She is set to
start in a film called Close Personal Friends, to be
released online. Comedy film follows two couples where one is
famous and the other is not. And the real kicker
here is that Markle is set to play herself how
delightful in the film, alongs alongside stars like Lily Collins,
(24:05):
Breed Larssen. Do we know these people, mackenzie? Do we
know these people?
Speaker 11 (24:08):
No?
Speaker 2 (24:09):
McKenzie's young Jack Quaid. Now Jack Quaid is the son
of Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan. He's apparently in it.
But apart from that, who are these people? She's been
spotted in Pasadena, California, acting in front of the cameras again, Well,
the real question is whether that ever actually stopped. Eighteen
minutes away from six, we're in the UK. Next News
Talk sebb It is quarter to six on News Talk SeeDB.
(24:32):
This is for Brian, specifically for you, Brian, because you've
been testing me this morning about the power in Northland.
It's actually pretty bad. Twenty three thousand people without power.
This is from five o'clock yesterday. That's the second time
it's happened in a week and they're not really sure
why at this point, so they have to sort something out.
Katy Ketty Russell, Pie Hair Cowakawa, Kai Coe all affected.
(24:52):
The latest I can tell you, Brian, is that Top
Energy's website right now says the power's still off. But
last night in an update at ten thirty, they said
we will have it on progressively coming back home with
the next two to three hours. So clearly it's not
it hasn't been all within two to three hours, has it?
(25:12):
Fourteen away from six.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Now International correspondence with ins an Eye Insurance Peace of
Mind for New Zealand business.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
So the UK accidentally frees two prisoners and one of
them is now handing himself in Vincent Mecaminie are UK
europe correspondent Vincent. They'll be pleased that he's at least
done something, honest.
Speaker 12 (25:31):
Yeah, there was a double man hunt afterway after these
two prisoners were mistakenly both released from Wandsworth Prison in
London in the past few weeks. Now thirty five year
old William Smith, who was convicted of fraud. He has
this afternoon handed himself back in. He was accidentally released
because they thought that his four year prison sentence was suspended,
(25:53):
but it wasn't. But one person still on the run,
of twenty four year old Algerian sex offender Brahim kodorsha Reef.
That is causing concern because this is the exact same
thing that happened last month when another convicted sex offender
was accidentally released due to be deported but was released.
And it's raising questions about the prison service because it
(26:14):
seems a lot of the stuff that's being done there
is being done by hand, by sort of paperwork that's
well out of date. The systems aren't working and it's
people looking at calendars trying to work things out themselves.
So big questions for the government about how they're going
to reform prisons here.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Yeah, it sounds like it too.
Speaker 11 (26:32):
Now.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Prince William's over at cop in Brazil. What does this
mean is did he fly there on a private cheat?
That's really all I ca here about.
Speaker 12 (26:42):
No, they don't tend to go on private jets, actually
they do. The Royal family does tend to fly commercial
these days, well, especially for international stuff. But he is
there for his Earth's Shot Prize, which has been running
for about the last five years. It's a bit like
the Moonshot Prize that Kennedy had back in the nineteen
sixties for space exploration. This is about trying to find
(27:03):
new and innovative ways to protect the environment. And he's
announced the list of winners. So there's things like sort
of regreening projects and other climate projects are high seas
global initiative in order to conserve marine life of some
of the winners this year. And he'll also be going
on to the COP thirty summits with our Prime Minister
(27:25):
Sekir Starmer to try and talk to world leaders about
some of these ideas and what they're doing is a
time where the consensus really seem to be broken down.
A lot of the big world leaders who used to
turn up regularly to these kind of things, most notably
Chinese Premiere Hu Jimping and US President Donald Trump, avoiding
this one because they're you know, it's not at the
top of their agenda anymore.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Yeah, Yeah, which makes you wonder what's the point in
the thing of half of the worlds and matters aren't
in the room. Appreciate your time, Vincent Meca of Any,
a UK europe correspondent. It's twelve to six governments allowing
the bar for guest companies to get access to that
big fund, the two hundred million bucks, the Gas Security Fund.
This is meant for new exploration. They're loosening the criteria,
(28:06):
opening it up to a wider range of products. Boost
down dwindling supply. We know we need more of it.
This means, on top of looking and drilling for more gas,
ourselves will take applications for anyone who can get us
more gas quickly. John Carnegie is the energy resources out
there that our CEO with me this morning. John, Good morning, Yeah,
good morning Ryan. How many applications that we had for
(28:27):
the current regime do you know? Or how much interest?
Not much?
Speaker 11 (28:31):
Oh, I know, we're already seeing some positive signs. I
spent some time last month with international partner groups in
Central America and the UK that have members who are
actually looking incredibly closely at the whole package of the
new regulatory settings for the sector and this change will
hopefully spark more interest. And actually we've already had one
(28:54):
new permit application and we expect more to come.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
How many more do you reckon well, that's.
Speaker 11 (29:01):
Going to be a judgment made by the companies as
to whether or not New Zealand's investable. And ultimately, companies
will only invest if they see stable, durable policy, and
that's why dipartisan political support for these measures are so crucial.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Which we haven't got yet obviously. Is you know Shane
Jones has been talking about, is this actually the amount
two hundred million is not enough in the fund or
is it the criteria? Are we limiting it at too much?
And is that why they're having to change this now?
Speaker 11 (29:33):
No, Look, I think more money is always nice, Ryan,
Oil and gas exploration is an expensive business and frankly
two hundred million won't go far, especially if it's sliced thinly.
But actually, as I've just alluded to, it is much
about the overall risk profile of the activity than the
money itself, and so it's encouraging to see the new
(29:56):
level of support. But the focus now should be on
creat endurable, evidence based policy settings could give investors confidence
for the future, and on helping reduce their cost base.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Appreciate your time's wanting. John John Carnegie Energy Resources altered
our CEO of Chima's nine to six. Ryan Bridge and
Nancy Pelosi. This is California Democrat. You'll know Nancy Pelosi's
face even if you don't recognize her name. She has
been in the game for decades. In fact, she has
had twenty terms in Congress. She's retiring. She's eighty five.
(30:31):
She's the one that sat behind Trump when he was
doing a State of the Union and ripped up the
piece of paper. Do you remember that she was because
she used to be the House speaker. Anyway, she's announced
that she is stepping down from politics, which is eighty
five after twenty terms. You'd have to say was a
pretty good innings. News talks there B it's nine to
six the.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
News you need this morning and the in depth analysis
early edition with Ryan Bridge and r V Supercenter explore
RV's accessories and so us all than one news talks that.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Be just gone seven to six news talks. HEB. You know,
Ma'm Danni over in the in New York City, had
rent freezers, universal health care, you know, free buses. They've
even got government run grocery stores on their to do list.
Does anyone think this is actually going to happen? He's
announced his team that's going to back him, and it's
(31:23):
an all female transition team preparing for the mayoralty of
New York City. And as for Trump's influence, because you
know how he's saying, I'm going to do something about this. Well,
of the budget that they get each year, seven point
four billion dollars comes from federal funding. That's about six
point four percent, So it's not kind of make or
break stuff. The influence will be limited. Six away from
(31:45):
six Bryan Bridge. Mike's here in the studio this morning.
Good morning, Mike morning.
Speaker 13 (31:49):
When you said transition team, are all those team transitioning?
Is that what you're saying that, I'm no, no, no, no,
it's confusing.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
For no, transition from you know, nothing, from obscurity into mayoralty.
Speaker 13 (32:03):
I understand what you're saying. Now, just make it clear,
right and otherwise, you know, you just don't know where
you're at this morning. Speaking which related matters, there is
an announcement coming today from the government on the films,
and Trump's because he's got the big film there and
no one can work out what an American made film is,
of course for obvious reasons, so we're announcing today this
is I'm torn because I can't work out whether it's
(32:24):
a good idea or not. So what I know for
a fact is when they did the original deal with
Peter Jackson, remember Key and etc. So anyway they say
the dollar in dollar back, it works, so as an
equation it works in theory though it's a race, isn't
it to the bottom. And what they're announcing today is
that the tax benefits for making a film here plus
also finishing a film off, which is the other part
(32:46):
of the equation, are going to increase. So in other words,
to attract the tax rebate, you need to spend as
of today less on the film to get that particular benefit.
So in other words, if it goes from say it's
down to four million, so I can make the announcement
even though they haven't made it. So it's down to
four million, right, so you only have to spend four
million on a film and suddenly you're starting to write
(33:07):
text off, which is fine, but how long before it's zero?
So in other words, you know, just come and make
a film, will give you text you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Which was the argument to begin with, wasn't that? And
then Australia would move and Mexico would.
Speaker 13 (33:18):
Move and it's exactly what's happened.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
But that's the problem.
Speaker 13 (33:21):
So you're up against one Trump who goes well know
as making movies in America, which is obviously true. But
two also, whatever we do, Australia would do, Ireland does,
India does.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Here's the reason I don't care about this is that
if you look at South Korea, South Korea is one
of the fastest growing tourist destinations in New Zealand. And
we know how good Lord of the Rings was for
tourism here, right, So it's not just about the actual film,
it's about the people who watched the movie. Lots of
the show K Pop Demon Hunters. Yeah, sure that most
(33:51):
what show on Netflix is there The Rings? Though, exactly so.
Speaker 13 (33:55):
But every four million dollar movie made in New Zealand,
someone's not sitting in Arkansas, gone wow, look at that.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
No. No, but these days they don't make those big
ones anymore. So you've got to do a thousand crap
ones and throw them on Netflix.
Speaker 13 (34:10):
Great show, Jesse, You have a good weekend, won't you? Hey?
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Cheers? Stephen Andrew Day.
